one punch

The back seat of Jiang Qing's bicycle lost a screw, and there was no room for anyone, so he had to appoint Jiang Ran to take Dou Tianxiao home.

Jiang Ran drooped his eyelids and looked melancholy.

His father bought his new bicycle when school started, and he has been riding it for less than a month, and the back seat is still a virgin land, how could he let a kid who peed his pants sit on it!

"He peed his pants..."

Jiang Qing gave a "tsk", took out a stack of newspapers from the car basket, put it on it and patted it, and carried Dou Tianxiao into the back seat without saying a word, "Which workshop is your mother in, I'll go Say hello to her, just say that you will come to my house for a party."

"The third workshop." After speaking, Dou Tianxiao glanced at Jiang Ran cautiously.

Jiang Ran also turned his head and glanced back at him, sighed helplessly, and finally did not order him to get out of the car.

Jiang Qing smiled and said, "Take my brother home first, change into a pair of pants and take a shower, I'll be right back."

"I see..." Jiang Ran stood on tiptoe and stepped on it hard.

Dou Tianxiao swayed slightly, instinctively grabbed Jiang Ran's clothes, and still held the paper box tightly with one hand.

"Your hands are not dirty, just grab me." Jiang Ran couldn't help but glanced down, his eyes darkened, "Did you go to the coal mine to dig coal?!"

Dou Tianxiao let go of his clothes and looked at his little black paws. He didn't dare to hold on anymore, and muttered softly, "I'm picking mulberry leaves, not coal."

The road behind the garment factory is a gravel road that has not yet been renovated. The road is uneven, wide and narrow.

Jiang Ran was riding a handsome and expensive mountain bike, the speed was fast, and Dou Tianxiao almost fell into a somersault at the most violent bump, but his right hand still didn't dare to pick up Jiang Ran's clothes, he just squeezed it tightly with all his strength. The car seat cushion, the thin body is dangling like a tumbler, as if it is about to fall down at any time.

When riding through a big pit, Jiang Ran felt the people behind him swaying a lot. Miraculously, his conscience found out, and he reluctantly said: "You can hold my waist with your fist, and just don't touch my clothes."

Dou Tianxiao hesitated for a moment, and followed his advice.

He was exceptionally thin and small, looked a bit malnourished, and had been sitting in the first and second rows of the class, while Jiang Ran was just the opposite, so when he hugged Jiang Ran's waist, he even had to lean forward.

The sharp corner of the box poked Jiang Ran's back, and he couldn't help shrinking forward, "What is that thing you are holding in that box?"

"Silkworm Baby." Dou Tianxiao replied in a low voice.

"It can't be eaten, it's not fun, and it looks disgusting. Why do you keep that kind of thing?" Jiang Ran couldn't help shrinking back when he thought of the chubby silkworm baby.

"The teacher asked us to observe their growth process, and then write a composition of no less than [-] words." Dou Tianxiao raised his head and saw Jiang Ran's fair neck line, and the sun seemed to be shining on his hair. There was a layer of shallow silver light, so bright that it was a bit dazzling.

"It's only [-] words in total. You can just make up a few sentences. It's really hard to raise silkworms." Jiang Ran's tone was full of disdain for lower creatures.

The lower creatures didn't notice it, and they still admired it, "Aren't you very smart?"

Jiang Ran was so proud that he didn't show any traces, "It's so-so, and it's not always possible to get full marks."

"It's amazing..." Dou Tianxiao lowered his head and picked the cardboard box in his hand, "I haven't gotten full marks this semester yet."

He usually has almost no communication with his classmates, so there is no comparison. This is the first time he really feels the gap between people, and it is also the first time he feels inferior.

The more dazzling Jiang Ran is, the more he looks like an ugly caterpillar.

Jiang Ran is so good, so good that he wants to get close but dare not.

His self-esteem sank into a huge quagmire.

He has never been so eager to improve, eager to become a shining good student like Jiang Ran.

In this way, the classmates in the class will not hate him.

If he can also become the team leader, he will have two bars more than the little fat man... Hehe...

"get off."

Just as Dou Tianxiao's daydream started, Jiang Ran's chilly voice interrupted him mercilessly.

After Jiang Ran went upstairs, he moved a chair and found a pair of pajamas and pajamas that he couldn't fit anymore from the top shelf of the wardrobe.

This used to be his favorite pajamas set, so it's in good shape.

"Here, take it." Jiang Ran reluctantly handed it over.

Dou Tianxiao took it with both hands, and unconsciously took it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, vaguely smelling a little bit of mothballs.

Jiang Ran led Dou Tianxiao to the bathroom next door, and went back to do his homework.

After a while, there was a faint knock on the door behind him. When he turned his head, he saw Dou Tian timidly hiding behind the door, tilting his head and pawing at the crack of the door, revealing only a pair of small black eyes. son.

"What are you doing! You scared me." Jiang Ran put down the pencil and turned around.

Dou Tianxiao hesitated for two seconds, then weakly picked the handle of the door, "I don't know how to turn on hot water."

"Did you become a pig spirit?" Jiang Ran felt helpless, so he had to stand up and stride towards the door, complaining secretly in his heart that his mother would always bring him some trouble to come back.

Dou Tianxiao didn't expect Jiang Ran to get up suddenly, so he couldn't help but dodge backwards, clamping his thighs tightly.

Jiang Ran looked down and almost choked, "You didn't drain the water, why are you taking off your pants!"

"I feel bad." Dou Tianxiao sighed in despair as if he had suffered a great humiliation.

Jiang Ran remembered the matter of peeing his pants in the second grade for him all his life, so that when he grew up, whenever he thought of those colorful monsters, Dou Tianxiao wanted to strangle them by the neck and let them die.

"The red one is hot water, and the blue one is cold water..." Jiang Ran glanced at the little naked man next to him after explaining, and turned on the faucet mercifully, "Forget it, let me do it." .”

Of course, at that time, Jiang Ran didn't know how to sympathize with the poor, to help the weak, and to show mercy purely because this little thing seemed stupid, turned back and flooded the bathroom with water, and his mother had to blame him for it.

It was the first time for Dou Tianxiao to enjoy VIP-level treatment in a hotel, and his heart was bubbling with beauty. He felt that Jiang Ran was simply the reincarnation of Buddha, with a layer of golden light on his head, who was born to save all beings and solve all his troubles for him .

After testing the water temperature, Jiang Ran waved his hand, as if trying to drive a duck into the water, "Go in."

"Oh." Dou Tianxiao climbed into the bathtub with bare buttocks, and poked the little rubber duck beside it curiously. Twice.

"It's fun." Jiang Ran threw the rubber duckling into the water, "Let it take a bath with you."

The bathtub in Jiang Ran's house is so big that he can cover his head when lying flat in it. Dou Tianxiao is afraid of death, so he only dares to sit in it.

The rubber duckling was floating on the clear water. Dou Tianxiao poked it down cheaply, and the duckling miraculously floated to the surface again. He tried several times with the same result, and asked curiously: "Why does it work by itself?" float up?"

Jiang Ran also asked his father this question back then, and he still remembers his father's answer, "Because water has buoyancy."

"Then why can't I float?" Dou Tianxiao asked.

Jiang Ran thought for a while, and replied decisively: "Because you are too heavy."

"Oh—" Dou Tianxiao suddenly realized.

Looking at the blue and purple wounds on his body, Jiang Ran raised a question: "Where did the wounds on your body come from?"

Dou Tianxiao turned his head and glanced at his back. If Jiang Ran didn't mention it, he wouldn't feel anything.

The wounds were all done at school. Sometimes the classmates tripped him up because they didn’t like him. At the beginning, he would report it to the head teacher, but later he found that telling the teacher not only failed to change anything but made things worse. I don't even bother to complain.

The most serious thing is that I was pushed by someone when I went downstairs last week, and I rolled directly from the second floor to the first floor. The bruises on my back and legs were caused by falling down the stairs.

Because of this, the teacher got angry once in the class, but no one in the class admitted it, so it was nothing.

The most respected teacher in the hearts of the children, who represented justice and benevolence, could not prevent the harm from happening. Dou Tianxiao was very disappointed.

He doesn't think that anyone can settle everything for him and change the students' perception of him, so he can only silently bear the malice from the surroundings, and curl up in a corner as much as possible to be a transparent person.

"Then do you know who pushed you?" Jiang Ran squeezed some shampoo and rubbed it on Dou Tianxiao's forehead.

The white bubble water hung all the way down his forehead and flowed into his eyes. Dou Tianxiao squinted his eyes and rubbed twice, muttering softly, "I don't know, they were all laughing when I turned around."

"How many people?" Jiang Ran asked.

"A lot of people." Dou Tianxiao reported a series of names, and finally opened his sore eyes with difficulty.

"Why did they push you?" Jiang Ran was curious.

Dou Tianxiao looked at Jiang Ran, hesitated for a moment, and fell silent.

If he said it, would Jiang Ran hate him like other classmates?

He lowered his head, picking at a dark bloody scab on his knee, trying to pretend he didn't hear, and brushed past this topic.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ran persisted in asking, and even rubbed his head for him, "Why didn't you talk? Why did they push you?"

The strength of Jiang Ran's hand is neither light nor heavy, it can be called gentle.

It was rare for Dou Tianxiao to feel the warmth from his peers. He raised his eyes and sorted out the grievances and resentments between himself and the little fat Wang Jianan intermittently like telling a story.

Jiang Qing, who was standing at the door, saw the two children chatting happily, smiled, and quietly closed the door.

Perhaps because of the incident in the supermarket, Jiang Ran had a bad impression of the little fat man Dou Tianxiao was talking about, so even though Dou Tianxiao's story was scattered and chaotic, he still chose to believe it.

Dou Tianxiao lacks communication with others, and his ability to organize language is very limited, but his expression is frank and sincere, and his bright black eyes are staring at him without blinking. The little soil dog with no bloodline and messy coat looks a little pitiful.

Jiang Ran breathed out, moved his lips, but finally swallowed the words "If they bully you again, you can come to me."

His conscience and kindness are very limited, and his rationality is telling him that this guy has a complicated background and problems, and if he gets involved with him, it will definitely be a big trouble.

Jiang Ran is a standard "nothing to do with yourself" type of talent, if it wasn't for the matter of Dou Tianxiao and the little fat man that delayed his checkout time in the supermarket, he wouldn't be bothered to meddle in his own business.

However, his rationality still failed to overcome his sensibility in the end, because at the moment he stood up with his arms shaking, Dou Tianxiao blinked his pair of dark and bright eyes, and called softly, "Brother."

Jiang Ran glanced back and said nothing.

"You're so kind..." Dou Tianxiao laughed while lying on the edge of the bathtub. He is currently in the period of changing his teeth. There are black holes on the edge of the front teeth leaking the wind, and there is still a lump of foam on his forehead. He looks stupid. .

But it was this kind of innocent stupidity that made Jiang Ran's chest feel hot, and the high wall built for defense in his heart collapsed. Immediately, a small seed called "desire to protect" sprouted in the crumbling land, A small, narrow, green leaf emerged.

Jiang Qing soaked Dou Tianxiao's trousers in water and dried them to dry.

The two children were locked in the room to do their homework. To be precise, Jiang Ran did his homework, and Dou Tianxiao observed Silkworm Baby... and Jiang Ran.

On Jiang Ran's desk, he saw a stack of cards tied together with rubber bands, and his Griffin card was on top.

"How many have you collected?" He pointed to the cards and asked.

"99 cards." Jiang Ran rested his cheeks and thought about the question.

"Wow!" Dou Tianxiao widened his eyes in surprise, "Then you can change your bicycle?"

Jiang Ran said quite calmly: "Oh, I'm just gathering for fun."

Dou Tianxiao's reverence at this moment has reached a peak, and he feels that there should be no stronger person than Jiang Ran in the world.

He really couldn't comprehend the noble spiritual world of a person who collected 99 cards just for fun, so he could only look up at this godlike existence obsessively.

"Can you breathe a little bit more, it's as noisy as a New Year's firecracker, didn't you see that I'm on the topic here?" Jiang Ran turned his pen in his hand, and glanced at him angrily.

In fact, it is because the Olympiad questions are too difficult to calculate anyway, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable.

Dou Tianxiao didn't have any brains, so he really held his breath. In the end, his internal organs were trembling, and he poked the back of Jiang Ran's hand with his face flushed, and asked dully: "Brother, are you done? I'm going to Suffocated."

Jiang Ran snorted, leaned back on the chair, raised his head and laughed unscrupulously.

Only then did Dou Tianxiao exhale furtively, and then inadvertently discovered that when Jiang Ran laughed, there was a deep dimple on the left side of the corner of his lips. This small dimple added a bit of softness to that indifferent and sharp handsome face. the taste of.

At that time, he didn't know what a smile is all about, he just thought that this smile was the best and most handsome he had ever seen in his life.

When Dou Tianxiao was about to leave, Jiang's mother repeatedly explained that if you encounter problems at school that you don't understand, you can go upstairs to find your brother, and you can go upstairs to call your brother if you are bullied by your classmates. In short, don't worry about anything. Crying, if you can find your brother, go upstairs to find him.

So after a while, as Jiang Ran expected, Dou Tianxiao was like a two hundred and five, pestering himself all day long, at first he said hello at the school gate, then on the playground, in the cafeteria, The men's restroom can receive hot sights, and in the end even bump into that two hundred and five in the corridor during class time.

"You are here to welcome the guests!" Jiang Ran rubbed the chin where the foreheads of Gang and Dou Tianxiao had collided fiercely.

"I'm just passing by." Dou Tianxiao rubbed his forehead.

"You are on the first floor and I am on the third floor. The men's toilet is on the second floor and your teacher's office is also on the first floor. How can you pass by!" Jiang Ran was speechless, and several male students in the class dragged him downstairs to jump the long rope together , Jiang Ran responded, and urged: "Hurry up and go downstairs to do your homework! Don't leave it here to block the way."

"I don't know how to write." Dou Tianxiao took out two pieces of chocolate that had been melted by body temperature from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Ran—this was given to him by an aunt who was a guest at home last Friday. Hugh, it's a miracle that he survived.

Jiang Ran's classmate happened to pass by, winked and teased, "Hey! Your little daughter-in-law brought you another treasure."

A group of classmates who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal also followed suit, and the whole corridor was so noisy that the head teacher was recruited.

The head teacher stood at the door of the office and gave an order, and everyone dispersed like birds and beasts, leaving Dou Tianxiao and Jiang Ran staring at each other.

Dou Tianxiao's body is thin and small, his facial features are like his mother's, he takes a delicate line, double eyelids, high nose bridge, and short hair like a mushroom head. Some people believe that she is a girl after rubbing it clean, but classmate Jiang was walking in the middle school. The second route, how could he bear such a "little daughter-in-law" given to him by others.

It's just too embarrassing!

Henceforth, he picked up Dou Tianxiao's collar, as if he was carrying a thick sweater soaked in water, and carried him down the stairs, and solemnly pointed at his nose and uttered harsh words : "Don't come up to me again in the future! Do you hear me! Otherwise, I'll cut off your head!"

Dou Tianxiao is also a persistent person, he stuffed the chocolate into Jiang Ran's hand, turned his head and left.

Jiang Ran looked at Dou Tianxiao's thin back, squeezed the two half-melted chocolates in his hand, and finally said mercifully, "I'm so annoying, if you don't know how to write, just leave it alone, wait for me to write." I'll teach you later!"

Dou Tianxiao turned his head, as if some trick had succeeded, he smiled.
