Counterattack the scumbags

a reason that cannot be ignored.

But it's not just the altitude.

Just like hemp pole, he is not short, but he is just an ordinary hemp pole in the crowd, not eye-catching.

Tao Anran stared at the back of his head for a while, and came to a pleasing conclusion.

After a while, Qi Yuan came back with a plate of white sugar cakes.

The white sugar cake just out of the pan is soft and fragrant, covered with a layer of hot air, the sweet smell makes people want to squeeze a piece into their mouths and eat it.

"Special, try it." Qi Yuan said, beckoned to the waiter, and handed him the checked list, "Less oil and less spicy."

Turning around, he found that Tao was staring at him intently.

"Look at what I'm doing, did you eat it and get it on your face just now?"

"Well, there is scum on the corner of the mouth."

Qi Yuan stretched out his hand and touched it, but nothing was wiped off.

Looking at Tao Anran again, he is an old man who has lied to others, and he is already able to eat sugar cakes with peace of mind.

"I smoke, do you mind?" Qi Yuan took out the cigarette case and threw it on the oily table.

Tao Anran raised her eyes, "I said you don't mind if you don't mind?"

"Otherwise, why would I ask you?"

"Oh," Tao Anran picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus horseshoe, "mind."

"..."

Qi Yuan was spinning the lighter in his hand, unexpectedly, cheap plastic gadgets played tricks in his hands.

There is no idle ruffian, but a bit chic and uninhibited cool.

"Fang's second child used to come to our house to pay off debts—my dad's side." Tao Anran said without warning, and the waiter who came to serve them even took a special look at him.

Qi Yuan twirled the lighter in his hand, "Then why did you let him go today?"

Based on the current situation just now, Tao Anran is completely capable of directing and acting in a robbery drama by himself, completely blowing out the opponent's actors, and there is no need for bluffing at all.

"It's not necessary," Tao Anran said, "My father told me when he was alive that we should forgive others and forgive others."

"Your father..." Qi Yuan tapped the lighter on the table lightly, "When did it happen?"

"Last year, pancreatic cancer." Tao Anran unconsciously stirred the small bowl in front of him with his chopsticks, "After he disappeared, the debtors became more rampant, and almost set up camp at our door. My mother discussed with the two uncles. Then, I sold everything that could be sold, and then barely plugged the hole. Later, my mother took my sister back to the south, and I came here."

In the food stalls under the plastic hood, oily smoke was flying around, and the sound of punching and shouting was as loud as gongs and drums.At that moment, the boy's young and handsome face had a complex expression, including sadness, anger, helplessness, self-deprecation and forbearance.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and there is only one corner for people to live in. When they owned it, no one thought that once that thing collapsed, it would have the aura of destruction.

Covering people in it, they experience despair every minute and every second.

After Qi Yuan finished listening, his mind fell into a blank state. The dictionary seemed to be invaded by a virus in that second, and it was automatically deleted.

Under the condition that he almost lost his language function, Mr. Qi accidentally said, "I want to say that my dad ran away with a rich woman when I was one year old, and my mother quickly got a foreign devil in a nightclub. Can you comfort me?" to you?"

When I came to serve food again, I was forced to listen to the waiter in the corner: "..."

What the hell are young people living these days!

Tao Anran held her chopsticks and was stunned for half a minute. After she finished her stupefaction, she couldn't help but slapped the table and laughed loudly, looking like she went crazy on the spot.

Qi Yuan: "Excuse me... Which sentence did I step on your switch?"

Tao Anran wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "You, yourself."

This is the first time someone dared to say that Mr. Qi is a joke to his face.

"Tao Anran, I think you are tired of living."

"kid."

"..." There is a kind of shouting again!

"Kid, please come here."

"……"Hold?

Qi Yuan watched Tao Anran hook his hands at him nervously, put down his chopsticks, and was about to stand up and go over to set rules for a certain Tao, but he saw a little girl in a flowered padded jacket walking around behind him, holding a bag in her hand. Lots of colorful windmills.

Tao Anran picked a well-rounded one from the inside, stretched out his hand twice, and handed it to Qi Yuan, "Thank you."

Qi Yuan stared at the small toy in his hand, "Are you childish?"

Tao Anran smiled, "It's okay."

The author has something to say: The update time is not very fixed these days, basically in the afternoon

☆、Chapter 17

The two returned home against the cold wind, and Qi Yuan stayed in his grandma's room to watch half an episode of the short-lived TV series with the old man. If Grandma Qi didn't think he smelled like oily smoke, he might still be able to watch the second half of the episode. .

After taking a shower, Qi Yuan went back to the room and sat on the chair to turn on the computer.

Last week's illustration manuscript was lying in the folder intact, and it was already two days behind the original delivery time. If he dragged on, he would probably be hammered to death by the editor.

While waiting for the machine to turn on, from the corner of the eye, I glanced at the pile of papers picked up from the trash can, and the colorful plastic pinwheels were pressed on the crumpled paper.

childish.

The computer screen that entered the desktop forcibly pulled Qi Yuan's gaze back. He clicked into the application program, opened the drawing board, and began to make the final finishing touches.

The picture is in a darker tone. The ruins, gunpowder smoke and a few open fires that are about to go out are coated with a layer of dark red that looks like blood under the setting sun.The wind lifted the young man's stained clothes, and he walked forward against the wind. The moment he looked back, a gleam of light reflected on his side face—the face was not finished yet.

Qi Yuan picked up the brush and began to "sewing and mending". They were all familiar strokes.

While painting, his thoughts drifted wildly, creating a wild and unconstrained effect. When saving and exporting, he was surprised to find that the wounds and blood stains on the side of the person in the painting were set against the delicate porcelain white skin... a bit familiar.

"..."

The original setting was a young man with wheat-colored skin, lean and capable, but now he digresses a lot, the young man is completely different, like a hidden...pervert?

But abnormality belongs to abnormality, but it is quite in line with aesthetics.

After saving, Qi Yuan sent a preview to the editor - as long as the other party nods, it will all work.

After waiting for a while, the editor came back.

—The contrast is strong enough, I like it.

After a while, I followed up with another sentence——

Little ancestor, if you want to return the manuscript next time, I will hang it at your door!

Qi Yuan laughed, logged into the mailbox, and sent her the original picture.

After handing out, he stood up and stretched his waist, and his eyes fell on the windmill and the paper again.

He choked back his yawn in half.

Terrible.

He took out the papers from under the windmill, leaned back on the bed and started flipping through them one by one.

The square red letter has a unique ugliness.

No, it's not ugly, at most it's childish.

They all say that writing is like a person, but Tao Anran's words are broken. His writing and people run back to back in two directions.

Tao Anran's annotations are not detailed, but only roughly marked some knowledge points, and judging from the flying level of his fonts, he should be quite irritable when writing.

Why you mortals are so stupid - it's just written on the paper.

Five minutes later, the papers were placed on Qi Yuan's stomach, and he himself had already gone to meet Zhou Gong in all directions.

The winter vacation came without any expectations. On the first day of the vacation, Tao Anran picked up chicken feathers all over the floor.

Human beings are less scary than human beings, but I am afraid that this person is like a shadow, sleeping in the same room every day with eyes open and closed.

Tao Anran's first grade made Cao Xiaofei look like a fool, as if the two of them didn't share half of their mother's genes, which also made Jiang Min lose face.

A woman who has been proud and arrogant for most of her life refuses to admit the flaws in her life that cannot be counted with two hands. Her mind is still stuck in more than twenty years ago. A girl with sharp eyes.

Unexpectedly, I lived 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, and I started to go downhill before reaching the peak.

Cao Xiaofei is the accelerator on this downhill road.

"Look at your elder brother, and then look at you! You can be wrong on such a simple question! Did you use your brain in class? Your brain grows out for breathing?" On the head, "I see that you are not as breathless as others!"

Cao Xiaofei's chubby face was covered with tears and snot, he succeeded in grasping the wrong point, and shouted, "You are biased!"

Jiang Min was taken aback by the accusation, and immediately became more angry.

"You're ashamed to say, why don't you choose the delicious and useful ones first? Your mother, I have worked so hard to support you, just to let you fail the exam to repay me? You say you , You never missed a cram school, and you never missed a mouthful of brain supplements, how could you learn like this!"

The final test paper in Jiang Min's hand was trembling in front of Cao Xiaofei's eyes, and Cao Xiaofei's crying was deafening, enough to knock down the roof of the house.

Tao Anran was finally shocked by the noise in the living room. He was leaning against the door with a glass of water in his hand, watching the mother and son going back and forth as if they were singing an opera. Miraculously, their quarrel produced a quite harmonious effect.

During the short truce between the two, Tao Anran took a sip of warm water and said slowly, "If you scold him for usefulness, Tsinghua University and Peking University will also fall from the altar."

Jiang Min: "Don't meddle."

Cao Xiaofei: "What do you mean!"

Tao Anran laughed for no reason, thinking that they were unanimous to the outside world at the moment.

"There are no parents in the world who don't want their children to become dragons, but children are good and bad, so is it possible that beating and scolding can make the seedlings in the field grow up neatly?" Tao Anran looked up and down Cao Xiaofei who was still sobbing, "Obviously not. If it is possible, wouldn’t everyone be restored to the Qing Dynasty?”

The truth is this, and it's ugly enough.

"Pretty words, I don't need you to teach me a lesson." Jiang Min was shaved by the junior, so he couldn't hold back his face, but he couldn't vent his anger on Tao Anran, so he had to bring out the instigator again, "Cao Xiaofei, what are you watching?" You, you are having fun, right? You have corrected the two wrong questions with this snickering time, go back to your room and order all the corrections for me."

Cao Xiaofei was shot again, but he had the ability to point and shoot, and he didn't even realize that his mother was stepping down the steps for him, so he immediately yelled, "I won't!"

Very righteous.

Jiang Min was probably mad, and blurted out: "I won't ask your brother, let him tell you."

His brother: "..."

Cao Xiaofei turned his head abruptly, looked at Tao Anran, and Jiang Min squeezed the paper hard, without saying a word.

Tao Anran sighed, and if he said "no" at this time, he was looking for trouble.

It's just a few questions, but it's not difficult for him.

However, things backfired. Tao Anran overestimated his brother's comprehension ability, and Cao Xiaofei also underestimated how terrifying his brother was.

When Tao Anran explained a big math problem for the fourth time, Cao Xiaofei was in a bad mood.

Because his brother's speech speed is getting slower and slower, his articulation is getting heavier, and the traces of the pen tip on the paper are getting more and more sharp - Cao Xiaopang, who has been used to lawlessness since he was a child, feels the pressure of being overwhelmed for no reason, as if he wants to say it again. Say "no", and the pointed pen will poke into his throat.

"Will it happen?" Tao Anran showed no extra emotion on his face, and the line of his lips was so even and steady that no one could see anything even if he looked carefully.

Cao Xiaofei opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Yes, yes."

"Okay, let's do this problem again." As he spoke, he pushed over a practice problem that he had made up on the straw paper.

Cao Xiaofei: "..."

No matter how much Cao Xiaofei wanted to cry and call his mother, in reality, "father doesn't love mother and mother doesn't love him". His own parents huddled by the door and peeked in for a while, thinking that the effect was not bad, so they didn't bother Take care, everyone is busy.

That afternoon, when Tao Anran received a call from Cai Yuanlang, he was still happily torturing the brat Cao Xiaofei.In just half a day, Cao Xiaopang was like a wilted eggplant beaten by frost, and he had no love in life.Taking advantage of Tao Anran's time to answer the phone, he gave full play to his subjective initiative, slipped out of the door, and fled to the kitchen to steal chicken legs.

Tao Anran glanced at the swaying door panel, leaned over and began to clean up the straw paper on the table, "Is there any news from your uncle?"

"I made it hard, don't mention how hard it is - the fried chicken restaurant on the side of the pedestrian street works half a day every day, 2000 a month, do you want to go?" Cai Yuanlang's voice came from the receiver, sizzling, Not very clear.

Of course I will.

Tao Anran laughed, "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome," Cai Yuanlang said, "I've discussed it with my old uncle, and I'll go to work too, without any money."

Tao Anran: "..."

"The two of us haven't played together for a semester. How can we pass up this opportunity." Cai Yuanlang laughed on the phone, "There are illegal workers, of course we will fight together."

If one is not careful, the young boy with red seedlings becomes a young boy who stealthily works.

Jiang Min was noncommittal about Tao Anran's going out for "social practice", but Cao Lantian was very much in favor of it. From the perspective of a people's teacher, he believed that the students were framed too "correctly", lacking opportunities to contact society, and lacking understanding of real life. Understand, everyone seems to live in a vacuum.

"When you grow up, you will eventually enter the society. At your age, there is no harm in being able to understand it briefly."

In this way, with the support of Cao Lantian and the blessing of the final grades, Tao Anran accepted her first job in the open and aboveboard - a fried chicken member in a fried chicken shop.

The fried chicken shop is next to the pedestrian street, and the door is facing the road. Whether you are going to the pedestrian street or passing by casually, as long as you are hungry or attracted by the smell, you will come to order a piece.I have to say that this location is unique, it can attract more business than the shops in the pedestrian street, and the rent of the shop is [-]/[-] cheaper than inside, which is quite a bargain.

Cai Yuanlang didn't forget to bury the boss when he was so busy, he secretly said to Tao Anran: "At the beginning, this berth was carefully selected. At the beginning, my family said that my uncle was stupid, hey, he's a guy who sticks his tail. It's a monkey."

Tao Anran aired out a new pot of chicken tenders to control the oil, and while helping the queue behind to pack the bags, he said, "Otherwise, do you think that successful businessmen are hit by luck?"

"Why don't we sell fried chicken after graduation," Cai Yuanlang said after collecting the money, "Let me tell you, I've been a little drifting for the past two days, and I'm seeing the money coming in."

Tao Anran said: "Taking out the rent, labor and raw materials, as well as those odds and ends, the monthly net profit of this kind of store will not be much beyond your imagination." The dream of wandering around in a Lamborghini."

Cai Yuanlang sighed a long time, "Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat."

His biting accent of the word shit was particularly strong, and it happened to reach the ears of the girl waiting for fried chicken outside the shop, and the girl's face turned green for a moment.

Cai Yuanlang laughed dryly, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by movement on the side of the road.

An overly flamboyant motorcycle parked in front of their shop with its owner impartial. The man's legs were propped up on the curb, looking straight and slender.

Tao Anran really admired the behavior of the neighbor across the door who seized every opportunity to be handsome. After handing the chicken tenderloin to the girl in front of him, he wiped the handle on the rag beside the operating table.

Cai Yuanlang clicked his tongue twice, "Taozi, don't you think this handsome guy came here to buy fried chicken because of his fame?"

"He may be looking for someone," Tao Anran smiled, "You speak more civilized."

"Why don't I... Fuck." Cai Yuanlang understood instantly, shut his mouth, and followed the helmet-clad king all the way to his brother's face.

He looked at Tao Anran suspiciously, "Do you know him?"

Tao Anran looked calm, "Yes, classmate."

☆、Chapter 18

Qi Yuan appeared because Hu Qian organized a small gathering in the group, but a few people asked about it, and found that Tao Anran was actually working in the pedestrian street.A pebble stirred up waves, and the teenagers who were squatting at home and growing mushrooms hit it off and decided to go to the pedestrian street to meet up. Except for Wu Peng and Xiao Yingjun who were still making up lessons, the rest immediately kicked off their shoes and went out.

Qi Yuan was the first one to arrive. When he was parking the car, he raised his eyes and saw Taoshen, who was selling fried chicken with his arms hanging and a weak body.

He didn't rush forward, but stood still and admired it.

It has to be said that many behaviors of people start with appearance, which is very superficial - the business of their fried chicken restaurant is obviously much better than that of the neighbor next door, and the eyes of the girls lining up in twos and threes are mostly glued to Tao Anran's side , Some people will chat a little more when picking up fried chicken.

However, classmate Tao is naturally lacking in flirtatiousness, and he can turn people off in a few words, and he doesn't feel embarrassed himself.

After Hu Qian and the others arrived, they rushed forward and bought five large portions of fried chicken. After eating the chicken fried by Tao Shen himself, Hu Pangpang had the illusion that he would be promoted next semester.A few people held the steaming chicken, boldly buried Tao Anran's apron, and exchanged WeChat IDs with Cai Yuanlang every minute, and pulled them into their group. MLM organization.

After a few people crossed shoulders and walked away, Tao Anran received the two WeChat messages sent by Qi Yuan.

One photo, one voice.

In the photo, he was draining oil for fried chicken with a stainless steel mesh basket, with one arm dangling, wearing an apron full of oil spots, combined with the photo on the door lintel that had been washed and faded by rain, it looked very horrible.

Qi Yuan said: "I am a master, please don't be stingy and praise loudly."

"..."

Praise you, uncle, have you fed the dog aesthetically?

In the fried chicken shop, Cai Yuanlang looked at the backs of a group of people who were walking away in front of him, with endless envy in his eyes, "I also want to transfer schools."

Tao Anran brushed the boneless chicken wings and poured them into the electric fryer, and glanced at him, "Transfer? Have you had too much breakfast?"

"I didn't support it, I just yearned for it." Cai Yuanlang lay on the table, speechless. "I didn't know that Fifth Middle School was so interesting before. I thought that all the students running around the campus were scumbags."

Tao Anran: "Are you interested in conflicting with the scumbags?"

Cai Yuanlang scratched his head, "It doesn't seem to be a conflict. Hey, don't talk about this, let's talk about seriousness. Let me tell you, No. [-] Middle School is too boring, Taozi, too boring. Either the key admission rate is the rules, the system, and extracurricular classes, oh yes , there are also a group of international classes preparing to go abroad. Harvard, Yale, Stanford, how powerful they are, and how much pressure is on their shoulders. A great youth is wasted on these things, you say, everyone’s head cantilevered Earth ruthless study, what is it for?"

Tao Anran: "No reason, the rules of the game are set like this."

Cai Yuanlang: "Can't break through?"

Tao Anran had a cold face, "Of course it can, but there is a high probability that the front foot sticks out and the back foot hangs."

"It sounds like I have a toothache," Cai Yuanlang sighed, "You are sometimes cold, even fried chicken can't warm you up."

Tao, who couldn't be warmed by the fried chicken, finished frying three pots of chicken, handed over shifts with the full-time colleagues who came to take over, and then went to the hot pot restaurant with Cai Yuanlang.

Hu Qian and the others got lucky and snatched the last private room in the store.After the holiday, everyone was having fun instantly. Tao Anran and Cai Yuanlang were the first to see two rows of beer bottles on the table as soon as they entered the door.

Zhang Tianqiao was tall and burly sitting in the back, and raised the cup in his hand at the two of them, "Sit down, eat, drink, and you won't go home until you're drunk!"

Li Hao raised his hand in agreement, "Yes, no return!"

Drunk, of course it is impossible to get drunk.

All of them are people who want to go home, drunk as cats and go back to face their parents, don't look too happily for death.

As soon as several people got up and gave way, they let Tao Anran into the position inside, just next to Qi Yuan.

Boss Qi was still bowing his head and pretending to be greedy for snakes, he only raised his eyes and waved his hands when they entered the door, as a greeting.

After Tao Anran sat down, she listened to Qi Yuan, who was concentrating beside her, say, "Stop drinking, there's soy milk."

Sure enough, Mr. Qi had a steaming cup of freshly ground soy milk in front of him.

"Nursing the stomach," Qi Yuan paused the game, "It's still whitening."

Tao Anran: "..."

"Who is so and so, who wants whitening?" Li Hao immediately leaned over and looked at Tao Anran's age, "God Tao, you are not dark, you don't need it. Lao Qi, you have been a little dark since you came back from Tibet last year. You have been covered for half a year. It’s almost back, and it’s so beautiful. Our elders don’t whiten, black is healthier, look at the bridge, doesn’t it look like the King of Tota.”

Zhang Daqiao lying on the gun inexplicably: "..."

"Hurry up and put down the meat, meatballs, shrimp slippery, all of them go in. Lao Qi, the shrimp slippery next to you, raise your hand." Hu Qian raised his voice by the door, picked up a plate of luncheon meat and pushed it into the spicy pot.

Qi Yuan practiced good manners, picked up the shrimp slides and skillfully divided them into four portions with the spoon inside, and slipped them into the pot one by one before Li Hao said "eh".

Cai Yuanlang opened his eyes, he didn't expect to be able to operate like this under the shrimp slide, he thought to himself, boss, why don't you just push the whole thing down!

"I'm afraid it's not easy for you to divide, so I specially divided it into four." The boss put down the plate, a little bit to show his awareness of serving the people.

Hu Qiansheng cupped his hands helplessly, "I thank you on behalf of those present."

The prawns are cooked quickly, but unfortunately, there are only four prawns for five people. This amount can probably fight over food distribution in normal times.But now that their new friend Cai Yuanlang was present, Hu Qian and Li Hao didn't feel ashamed to put their faces in the pot to grab food.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qi Yuan took the lead to fish a piece out of the pot as if nothing had happened, and then the piece of shrimp slippery landed in Tao Anran's bowl impartially.

"The two of us will share one piece, and the rest will be given to the students."

Tao Anran: "..."

classmates:"……"

Cai Yuanlang turned his head and glanced at the two of them, picked up a piece of potato that was about to be boiled, and glanced again after biting the potato, and found that Qi Yuan had already slipped the shrimp apart, and was holding the huge lump into his mouth.

And Tao Anran had a slight dislike on his face, but he just frowned and ate the shrimp by himself.

Cai Yuanlang's hand holding the potato slices trembled, and the potato was instantly cut in half, and the lower portion fell back into the bowl with a splash of sesame oil.

Tao Anran is a bit of a clean freak, especially when he doesn't touch anything that other people's saliva has touched.No matter if you plan to share a bunch of candied haws or a bottle of water with him, it is impossible, even if the lips are not stained, Tao Anran is not willing to kill him.

Whoever dares to stir in his bowl with chopsticks that have been sucked a hundred times, he will take it as a face if he doesn't put the person directly in the pot.

Comrade Qi Yuan, on the other hand, was very calm throughout the whole process. After finishing Tao Anran's food bowl, he continued to use his own chopsticks to pick up meat and add vegetables to him.

Cai Yuanlang's heart skipped a beat while Tao Anran ate slowly and comfortably. After a while, Cai Yuanlang looked away. His heart, which was always big enough to run side by side, was rarely sensitive. unusual.

But this weird feeling was fleeting, and when Hu Qian yelled again to make everyone drink, he had already thrown it to the back of his mind.

Cai Yuanlang performed a small theater in his head, but Tao Anran didn't feel anything. He was sitting in the room, his mind was wandering, and he didn't pay attention to what the crowd next to him were doing.He roughly calculated the funds that he could use at present. Even if the wages of this month's part-time job were included, it would still be stretched to finish the extracurricular classes.

Just like Cai Yuanlang said, money is hard to earn and shit is hard to eat. Tao Anran, who has been aloof and arrogant for 16 years, truly experienced the hardships of life in a lively hot pot restaurant.

After the meal, Hu Qian started to organize the next party. After some discussion, they felt that this was the last decent winter vacation before graduating from high school, and they had to do something exciting. After arguing, they finally decided to go to the park after the year ice skating.

Tao Anran looked at Hu Pangpang who was eager to try in silence, and thought how exciting it would be to go ice skating?

Hu Qian drank the last sip of soy milk, "It's settled like this. When the time comes, I will go to sing after I slip away. Now, let's disband, everyone, and go back to each house and find each mother."

Since both Li Hao and Cai Yuanlang had other things to do in the afternoon, they didn't arrange other activities, and they had to disperse after a few chatters after a meal.

However, even a short reunion is a joy for the teenagers.Sometimes high school life is like a compressed biscuit, no matter how you look at it from any angle, it seems that there is not even a little extra space left.In a high-pressure environment, the occasional respite is invaluable, and correspondingly, the happiness gained will be magnified several times.

Hu Pangpang said that every time he came out to play, he felt like a rat stealing gas.

Everyone went their separate ways at the bus stop, Tao Anran wanted to get on the bus but was stopped by Qi Yuan, he raised his eyebrows, his eyes turned around Tao Anran's arm, "I didn't see the bus crowded like sardines, turn around and you If squeezed, the arm becomes a loofah vine."

Round and round with bends.

Tao Anran: "I'm going to a cram school, we're not on the way."

Qi Yuan turned the car key in his hand, "As long as it's where you go, I'll drop by."

Tao Anran looked at him, "Okay, then don't regret it."

Qi Yuan: "Whoever regrets is a dog."

Twenty minutes later, in the cram school, Qi Yuan sat in the last row, yawning in regret.

☆、Chapter 19

The heating in the cram school made people drowsy, Qi Yuan was half asleep and half awake, and felt that he had jumped into the hole that Tao Anran had dug.

This pit was counted from the stack of final review materials that Tao Anran sorted out. At that time, he made the first shovel, followed by the quiet second shovel—white sugar cakes and small windmills under the plastic shed. As for the third shovel……

This shovel cannot be entirely blamed on Tao Anran.

Twenty minutes ago, when they came in, a teacher with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks warmly received them at the door.Next, Tao Anran asked a few questions seemingly casually, and the sharp-billed monkey cheeks answered fluently. After 5 minutes, Tao Anran was about to make a decision.At this time, the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks sent a message, and took a picture of a discount list on the table - two people who signed up together, [-]% discount.

Thus, Tao Anran's eyes fell from the discount list to Qi Yuan's face. For some reason, Qi Yuan remembered the huge red square characters on the test paper. We signed up for the winter vacation math class together.

Fine your uncle's product.

Qi Yuan slumped on the chair with his head drooping, let the writing on the blackboard bother his brain.

Premium classes, as the name suggests, are stronger and more difficult than ordinary long-term classes.But for liberal arts classes in high school, its difficulty is still limited.For example, if the syllabus is a circle, the so-called super-syllabus is actually no bigger than the inner circle. As long as you master the content in the circle, you can get a very reasonable score. As for the small part outside the circle, it is completely fine. resignation.

The purpose of the boutique class is to make "fate" become "destiny".

Qi Yuan thought that he was probably the first scumbag who voluntarily landed in the group of top students.

But Tao Anran obviously didn't intend to let him go easily.

When get out of class was over, Tao Anran packed up the notebook she had bought temporarily, tilted her head and asked, "How is it?"

His beautiful eyes were bent down, as if wrapped in silk.

"It's not good," Qi Yuan stretched his waist, "It's like someone who hasn't learned addition and subtraction is suddenly pulled to do a linear equation in two variables. The more you listen, the more confused you become."

Tao Anran paused for a while, "Are you angry?"

"No," Qi Yuan looked at him, "Am I that mean in your eyes?"

Tao Anran thought for a while, and said very perfunctorily, "No, you are so generous, it's earth-shattering."

The words are not harsh, but the tone is like a curse.

After leaving the cram school, it was almost evening, Qi Yuan asked for a meal of white sugar cake with skewers to make up for the damage to the young heart, so the two went to the "exquisite restaurant" again.

Halfway through eating, Qi Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why did you go to work at a fried chicken shop? Lack of pocket money?"

Obviously, Tao Anran's state is either short of pocket money, or short of money, the big ones.Qi Yuan's ability to ask such a question is still saving him face. To some extent, it is a manifestation of emotional intelligence.

Tao Anran wiped her mouth slowly, "I want to say that I am here to experience life, do you believe it?"

Qi Yuan smiled, "If you tell me, I will believe it."

Tao Anran leaned back, resting his hands on the edge of the table, "Of course not, they are poor, especially short of money, do you have any part-time job introductions, Boss Qi."

"..."

Qi Yuan was dumbfounded, for a moment he thought Tao Anran was starving for oxygen in the plastic shed.

"Yes, but I don't know if you are willing to go."

Tao Anran smiled, "It's fine if you don't fry the stinky tofu."

"... Tutor," Qi Yuan said helplessly, "What kind of stinky tofu is fried. Just wait, I'll ask."

Tao Anran nodded, his eyes drifted away a little, and fell on the large pot opposite to which the white sugar cake was steamed.

The setting sun was setting outside the plastic shed, and the afterglow reflected indistinctly on the iron body through the plastic sheeting. The darker orange color carried an indescribable warmth, which miraculously relieved people's anxiety and made all limbs feel weak. They all feel a warm current passing by.

Qi Yuan buried a few WeChat messages in his hair, and when he looked up, he found Tao Anran was staring into a cauldron.

He picked up a piece of sugar cake and put it under the tip of Tao Anran's nose, "Excuse me, what do you think about the sugar cake steamer?"

Tao Anran lowered her eyes, focused on the white ball, and looked at each other.

"Damn." Qi Yuan smiled and quickly framed the lens of his mobile phone, snapped a picture, and before Tao Anran could react, he jumped back more than one meter, and the white sugar cake unfortunately fell, falling on Tao Anran In the bowl of brown sugar taro seedlings in front of me.

The splashed soup stained Tao Anran's chin, while Qi Yuan, who had already reached someone else's table, laughed like a bastard.

"You're dead!" Tao Anran slapped the table and stood up. Who knew that when he rushed over, he accidentally tripped over the exposed wires on the ground, and he was in a half-flying state. Flying with my dear steamer.

Qi Yuan put his arms around his waist, and his voice came from behind his ears, "You can't be careful, your eyes are so bright and white."

Tao Anran's ears were burning slightly, and he didn't know whether it was due to public embarrassment or something else, so he immediately went to pull Qi Yuan's paw, halfway through, Qi Yuan clasped his whole hand in his palm.

"..."

Tao Anran was stunned on the spot, even forgetting to struggle, and was dragged out of the plastic shed by Qi Yuan.

When the cold wind blew up, Tao Anran woke up, looked down at the two people's hands that were almost intertwined, and said coolly: "Hand in hand, eat fruit?"

"I'm afraid you'll hit me, but fortunately you only have one hand," Qi Yuan said, pinching him with both fingers and palms, "If you don't hang that hand, I have to hug you."

Tao Anran glanced at him, and thought to herself, why don't you let me beat you, are you sick?

Qi Yuan let go of his hand, his thumb subconsciously brushed against his palm, and the warmth left by Tao Anran's palm just now hadn't dissipated, which made people inexplicably greedy.

Tao Anran moved her fingers unnaturally, put aside the matter of beating someone for the time being, and felt a trace of indescribable embarrassment rarely.

He coughed lightly, and said without words: "It's a good thing to pay first, or the boss will have to call the police."

Qi Yuan held back for a while, but didn't hold back, and said with a smile: "Yes."

The way for Dareqingxueba to resolve embarrassment is to raise the level of embarrassment in a daze.

Qi Yuan was shaking with laughter, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it tremblingly, "Don't be funny, let's be serious."

Tao Anran squeezed out a single syllable from his nasal cavity, "En."

Qi Yuan was silent for a moment, then became serious, "Are you full?"

"..." Looking at him like a psychopath, Tao Anran said, "I'm full."

The two walked along the sidewalk for a while, Qi Yuan put out the cigarette, and asked: "Tutoring the fifth grade of primary school in Chinese and mathematics, [-] per hour, if the effect is good, add money, do you want to do it?"

For Tao Anran, this is basically just lying down and making money, so there is no reason not to do it.

"Fried chicken restaurants and boutique classes are fine, even at night."

Qi Yuan nodded, "Okay, let me ask."

There will be news from Qi Yuan soon
