I still want to pretend after falling off the horse

"You guessed it right, the principal really asked me to speak at the [-]-day swearing-in meeting." Yang Yixin lay down on the table with no love, "I refused, but the principal insisted that I go, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you have nothing to do with Shang Yinxiao now, besides, you are also qualified to speak on stage, so please write your speech carefully." Shang Yuan said.

"But... how do you write a speech?" Yang Yixin said, "I can only write a self-criticism, not this kind of thing."

Shang Yuan glanced at him, saw the word "help" from his face, and said ruthlessly: "It's useless to look at me, I haven't written it before, I can't write."

"impossible!"

"what?"

"You are omnipotent, there is no way you can't." Yang Yixin was determined.

"...Stop complimenting me."

Yang Yixin stared, "No compliments, sincerely. Help me."

Seeing his big blinking eyes, Shang Yuan raised his chin, pinched his face with his index finger and thumb, and said in a low voice, "Stop pretending to be pitiful, and act like a baby? Who did you learn from?"

Yang Yixin was squeezed into a goldfish mouth by him, but he looked even cuter, and even pursed his mouth and blew a kiss.

Shang Yuan stared at him for a few seconds, then said expressionlessly, "Bring the paper."

Yang Yixin happily offered the pen and paper with both hands.

Shang Yuan wrote him a draft, and he showed it to the principal, and then he started to follow the draft.

On the day of the [-]-day swearing-in meeting, Yang Yixin was following the manuscript during class in the morning, preparing for the speech in the afternoon, when the outside suddenly became lively.

He couldn't help but look out from the back door, Shang Yuan asked, "What did you see?"

"I can't see anything, it's all people." There were many people standing in the corridor outside, but Yang Yixin couldn't see it on tiptoe, so he had to give up.

After a while, Chen Wei brought back news from the front line: "I'm going! The international class is back for class!"

Discussions started in the class, "Really? Are those people going to class?"

"It's almost the college entrance examination, why come back?"

"By the way, is there a particularly handsome one?"

"Come on, I heard that when I first entered the school, I was stopped and criticized by the director because of my unqualified appearance."

"It looks bad, it's better not to encounter it as much as possible."

Yang Yixin had seen all kinds of delinquent teenagers, and was not interested in the international class, so he went back and continued to follow the manuscript.

In the afternoon, the [-]-day swearing-in was held in the auditorium. The auditorium was crowded with people.When the student representatives came to speak on stage, Yang Yixin took the manuscript and walked onto the stage. At a glance, everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

He walked to the microphone and stood still, a little nervous, but when he looked up, he saw the team in his class, and Shang Yuan behind the team looked at him from a distance.

Shang Yuan stared at him with calm eyes and silent encouragement.Yang Yixin took a deep breath, relaxed slowly, adjusted the microphone and began to speak.

He didn't notice that in the international class on the edge of the auditorium, a person was also staring at his face, watching him bathed in the lights on the stage, as if it had become his own light.

"Young Master Ran, is this the kid you like?" someone asked.

A frenzy flashed across Ran Feixing's eyes, and he didn't answer his question.

Yang Yixin's clear voice echoed in the auditorium, accompanied by the closing words: "On behalf of all the senior three students, I would like to swear here: We will go all out to climb the peak bravely, fight to the end with high morale and perseverance, and use determination Make strength, don't shrink back, don't escape, fight for a hundred days, and compete in the examination room!"

There was warm applause in the auditorium.

Yang Yixin bowed and stepped down from the stage. At this moment, he truly realized that he was going to take the college entrance examination decisively, and he had the blood of "using the pen as a sword, sharpening the edge for ten years, and only looking at the present".

After stepping down from the stage, he walked through the crowd to the class queue. He knew that many people were looking at him, but when he passed by Shang Yuan, he quickly rubbed the back of Shang Yuan's hand with his fingers. The two looked at each other silently. The palms of the hands holding the manuscript were slightly sweating.

In order not to disturb the class formation, Yang Yixin went to stand at the back after speaking. When the meeting was over, he looked for Shang Yuan in the crowd and was about to wait outside when suddenly a person leaned over from behind and grabbed him shoulder.

He thought it was Wang Junyang or Chen Wei, but when he turned around, he was stunned.

"Long time no see, Yang Yixin." Ran Feixing said with a smile.

Yang Yixin stared at his face for three seconds, then slowly came to his senses, and said in surprise, "Ye Feixing!"

Hearing him call out his name, Ran Feixing hugged him fiercely, and said happily: "Damn! You still remember me!"

"How could you not remember!" Yang Yixin was dazzled by the surprise, but the surprise only lasted for a short time, the smile on his face quickly dissipated, and his complexion became complicated.

A feeling of surprise and bitterness lingered in my heart, followed by heavy guilt.

"Where have you been these past few years? Why is there no news at all?" Yang Yixin stepped back and looked at him, realizing that his former playmate had changed a lot. There are earth-shaking changes.If he hadn't taken the initiative to say hello, Yang Yixin might not even have recognized him.

"My dad picked me up and I was abroad all the time." Ran Feixing also looked at him, approached him unconsciously, and asked, "What about you? Why are you in Chongli High School?"

Just as he was talking, a hand suddenly stretched out beside him and pulled Yang Yixin away.

Shang Yuan held his wrist, pulled him to his side, looked at Ran Feixing with an unkind expression, and asked, "Is this your friend?"

Ran Feixing froze for a moment, looking at the man in front of him who was thrusting in front of him, Shang Yuan was holding Yang Yixin's wrist from the corner of his eye.The intimacy and hostility of Shang Yuan's actions made Ran Feixing instantly realize that he and Yang Yixin had an extraordinary relationship.

"He is Ye Feixing, a neighbor who used to live next door to my house, and a friend I have played with since I was a child." Yang Yixin introduced.

"Who are you?" Ran Feixing stared at Shang Yuan.At this moment, both of them saw undisguised hostility in each other's eyes.

The people in the auditorium had almost left, Shang Yuan said: "I am Yang Yixin's—boyfriend."

Ran Feixing frowned and changed his expression. He asked Yang Yixin for confirmation, "Boyfriend?"

"Yes." Yang Yixin looked at Ran Feixing's face, thinking that he could not accept his sexual orientation.But Yang Yixin is not a secretive character, he admits it very directly.

Ran Feixing's complexion became even worse.

Shang Yuan was very satisfied, and said: "The class will start soon, let's wait for the next time to reminisce about the past." As he spoke, he pulled Yang Yixin to go out, and Yang Yixin could only say goodbye in a hurry.

Ran Feixing looked at the back of them leaving hand in hand, his eyes darkened.

"Yo, Ran Shao failed to strike up a conversation?" A friend came over from a distance and joked.

Ran Feixing sneered, put his hands in his pockets and walked out slowly, "Just kidding, who do you think I am. My relationship with him has long been entangled, not just any cat or dog can get involved."

"What's the matter, huh? Have you slept?"

Ran Feixing smiled, "It's nothing if you've slept in."

After leaving the auditorium, Shang Yuan asked: "He is from the international class, when did he become your neighbor?"

Yang Yixin was a little distracted, his reaction was a bit slow, and he said: "Ah, he used to live next door to me. We played together since elementary school, but unfortunately moved away later. We haven't heard from him in the past few years. Neither have I." Thinking of meeting him today."

Shang Yuan frowned, obviously very happy to see Yang Yixin's attitude.He had an intuition that Ye Feixing was not a good person, but because there was no evidence, and because he didn't want to spoil the fun, he only held Yang Yixin's hand tightly, and said with a gloomy expression, "Since we are old friends, let me get to know each other next time we meet."

Yang Yixin held his hand back, and gave a absent-minded "um", not noticing that his mood was different.

Having said that, Yang Yixin secretly went to Ran Feixing during the recess.As soon as he walked to the door of the international class, a boy outside the door blew his whistle and came up to him and said, "The student representative is here!"

The boy behaved frivolously, Yang Yixin glanced at him expressionlessly, and ignored him.The boy was annoyed by his attitude and was about to make trouble when Ran Feixing came out of the class to stop him: "Zhou Ang!"

Zhou Ang could only smile awkwardly, and went into class while calling out "Young Master Ran".

"Don't pay attention to him, he just likes to cause trouble." Ran Feixing happily pulled Yang Yixin to the side, and asked, "Why do you want me?"

Yang Yixin looked around and saw that there were too many people, so he took Ran Feixing to find a place where no one was around.

"Why so mysterious, do you have any secrets to tell me?" Ran Feixing jokingly asked.

There was no smile on Yang Yixin's face. He took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Do you know that Aunt Ye... Aunt Ye passed away."

"Passed away" was said very softly, Yang Yixin didn't dare to look at his expression, he clenched his hands tucked into his sleeves tightly, his fingers curled up in his palms, and his nails dug into his flesh.

Ran Feixing leaned against the wall and said flatly, "I know, what's wrong?"

Yang Yixin raised his head abruptly, he didn't understand how Ran Feixing could say in such a frivolous tone that he knew about it, as if he didn't care at all.

"you……"

"I know that my dad picked me up the night of her accident, and my dad also told me about her death." Ran Feixing showed a look of disappointment on his face.

Yang Yixin couldn't help taking a step forward, and asked, "Then do you know what happened that night?"

"What happened?" Ran Feixing tilted his head and asked, waiting for his answer.

Yang Yixin opened his mouth, some sporadic fragments flashed quickly in his mind, the noisy voice in the bar echoed in his ears, and for a moment he seemed to return to that night.He wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound at all, as if there were hands strangling his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

This feeling frightened him.

"Forget it, I don't want to talk about that day." Ran Feixing put his arm around his shoulders and said, "The past is in the past, so be it."

"But……"

Ran Feixing covered his mouth, "I don't want to hear it, we are best friends, without my mother, we are also best friends, so what happened that day, what's important?"

Yang Yixin opened his eyes wide, and he said again: "And my surname is Ran now, not Ye, so don't get it wrong in the future."

After speaking, Ran Feixing patted him on the shoulder with a smile, turned and left.

Yang Yixin just stood there.

Now his surname is Ran, not Ye.

What happened that day, and what does it matter?

"How can it be unimportant?" Yang Yiyi leaned against the wall, as if asking Ran Feixing, but also asking himself.
