it takes a little effort

In the photo studio.

Ling Chuan was sitting in front of the computer desk, with a sausage in his mouth, and was trying to slim down a short, overweight uncle.

This photo studio is opened by his second uncle, and Ling Chuan usually sneaks here when he wants to be lazy and play with the computer, and the superficial skills in photography are also taught by his second uncle.

Although the photo studio is not big, there are quite a few people who come to take photo wedding photos, especially these two months are the peak period.

The purpose of his coming here today was to ask his second uncle to print some photos for him, but it happened that an assistant had just left the second uncle's store and was too busy, so he asked him to help retouch the pictures.

He stared at this greasy-looking uncle, and couldn't help but sighed. What he did to fix one picture of this uncle was enough for him to fix ten photos of Jiang Kai.

Thinking of this, he took out the phone in his pocket.

For the ones he took during the day, he picked out some that he thought were pretty good and sent them to the space. The two photos of Jiang Kai are still there.

In fact, the photo taken from the front is not very satisfying, but it is saved involuntarily.

He tapped the screen, and Jiang Kai's facial features were enlarged.

Clear contour lines, slightly frowning eyebrows, slightly surprised little eyes...

Further down is the white and slender neck, the neckline is a bit low, and his protruding collarbone can be clearly seen, which is very sexy.

This looks too attractive, it is simply outrageous.

"Where's your little girlfriend?" A sudden sound from behind startled him.

Uncle Er didn't know when he stood behind him, holding a bucket of instant noodles in his hand, squinting at him.

Ling Chuan's face turned red immediately, and he quickly denied, "No, a friend."

"Oh~" The second uncle raised a smile of unknown meaning, and said in a strange voice, "Friend~"

"It's really not a girl!" Ling Chuan moved the screen of his mobile phone to his second uncle.

The second uncle pushed his glasses, "He's pretty handsome."

"Yeah," Ling Chuan felt relieved when he heard that others thought the same as him, so he admitted generously, "I think so too."

"Have you fixed those on the table?" The second uncle changed the subject.

"Oh, the last one." Ling Chuan put the phone on the table.

"It's pretty fast." The second uncle sucked his mouth and said vaguely, "Don't forget to copy it to the disk when it's repaired."

"I know." Ling Chuan straightened his back, carefully trimming the wrinkles on the fat man's suit.

"Hurry up and go back after repairing, your mother will call me again later." The second uncle said.

"When will you print those photos of me?" Ling Chuan asked.

"You copy it to the USB flash drive together, and I've sorted it out and printed it together." The second uncle took a sip of the soup, "Come and help me edit the picture tomorrow if you're free."

"Oh, let's see when the time comes." In fact, he really wanted to do homework with Jiang Kai, but he didn't know if he would have time to teach him.

Jiang Kai's mood tonight was extremely irritable. Gu Weidong kept looking for opportunities to talk to him in the car, but he didn't give him a good face, and then he simply pretended to be asleep.

He hadn't imagined how secret this meal would reveal.

First of all, Gu Weidong took something behind his back to test the DNA.

Then there was Gu Weidong's reason for taking him back home.

He naively thought that Gu Weidong wanted to make up for his mistakes back then or felt guilty about his mother's death.

However, the fact is purely because of grandma's patriarchal feudal thinking, and she is extremely eager to have a grandson. Gu Weidong's wife only gave birth to a daughter for him, and the second child had an accidental miscarriage.

That is to say, if he were a girl, the Gu family would not even pay attention to him.

The most important point is that when Gu Weidong met his mother, he was not married yet.

This discovery was the biggest reason why Jiang Kai's mood fell to the bottom.

Suddenly, I felt that my mother was the saddest character in this farce.

The most trusted person didn't arrive as expected, and was labeled as a mistress, and received so many criticisms and blank stares.

Strong belief and courage supported her to give birth to herself, and then left this world with despair.

Not worth it.

After knowing these things, it is impossible for him to forgive Gu Weidong, but now he does not have the financial strength to completely get rid of Gu Weidong.

Helpless, powerless.

He stared at the ceiling in the dark.

I only felt the tip of my nose sore, and tears slowly slid down the temples on both sides to the hair.

The next morning, Ling Chuan deliberately rushed to a famous soup dumpling restaurant two kilometers away, and packed several boxes of steamed dumplings to eat with Jiang Kai, but no one answered the doorbell for a long time.

The second uncle called him to the photo studio to help, and he was busy until after dinner.

The first thing he did after stepping out of the elevator was to glance at the opposite door.

The one hanging on the doorknob has not been moved earlier. I don't know whether Jiang Kai hasn't gone out for a day or hasn't come back for a day. The latter is more likely.

Ling Chuan opened the door of his own room, thought for a while, then turned around and rang the doorbell on the opposite side.

Still no answer.

He sighed, and just as he reached out to take off the steamed bun on the doorknob, he heard footsteps coming from downstairs. He couldn't wait to lie down on the banister of the stairs and look down, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Just by looking at the hair on the top of his head, he can recognize Jiang Kai.

"Where did you go? You just came back." Before Jiang Kai came up, Ling Chuan yelled while leaning on the handrail.

Jiang Kai raised his head and saw a warm smile. He twitched the corner of his mouth and forced a smile, "Turn around."

Ling Chuan felt very sensitively that Jiang Kai was not in a good mood, so he tentatively asked, "What's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Kai walked upstairs unhurriedly, his eyes swept over Ling Chuan, and he opened the door of Room 301.

The moment Jiang Kai pushed the door, Ling Chuan grabbed his right hand suddenly, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Jiang Kai paused slightly when he entered the door, "Eat."

Ling Chuan opened his mouth, wanting to say that I left half a pizza for you, but seeing Jiang Kai's indifferent eyes, he felt that even if he said it, he would be making fun of himself, so he let go of Jiang Kai's arm.

"I'll take a shower first." Jiang Kai said.

"Oh, good." No matter how slow his reaction was, Ling Chuan knew that Jiang Kai meant that he was not going to let him in, so he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

It's not because he doesn't have homework to copy, it's because Jiang Kai looks very tired, obviously he has something on his mind, he really wants to do something to improve Jiang Kai's mood, but Jiang Kai has no intention of talking about it He meant to close the door in front of him.

Ling Chuan crossed his legs and sat slumped in front of a small desk on the balcony. There was a math paper with only his name written on it. Without Jiang Kai teaching him, he felt that there was not a single cell in his body willing to cooperate with him. Do questions.

After more than half an hour, he played a few games of Fighting the Landlords.

When Yang Fan called, he had just started a game.

"Why?" He answered the phone a little irritably, adjusted his sitting posture by the way, and put his two long legs on the table.

"Siyi called me." Yang Fan said.

Ling Chuan was startled, and almost didn't realize who the name was, "What did she say?"

Yang Fan muttered in a low voice: "Say you are ungrateful."

"I'm ungrateful and ungrateful?" Ling Chuan was a little shocked, and his voice couldn't help raising his voice several degrees. She was clearly the one who started the breakup, so why did she bite back.

"Yeah, you said you've changed and you don't even want to coax her anymore, anyway, report your complaint to me," Yang Fan smiled, "Anyway, the last thing I heard from her was to ask you to coax her again , even if this matter is over, she doesn't really want to break up with you. Last time about Li Yu's incident, she was completely provoking you and wanted to see you jealous, but it turned out that you were fine. Something happened."

"Damn it, I don't know what she's thinking." Ling Chuan bent his knees and pressed his toes against the edge of the table. "I thought she really accepted that Li."

Ling Chuan recalled the various time points of the day when the incident happened, "Didn't he say that Gu Siyi agreed to date him when I beat Li Yu that day, and then I received a breakup text message from Gu Siyi as soon as I turned my head. Put those two things together."

"I didn't know you two were still fighting over this matter," Yang Fan sighed, "I think, she just wants to gain some sense of presence with you, girls, you have to pamper, don't care if you are wrong or not Wrong, anyway, if you want to continue dating her, you have to take the initiative to apologize. Also, she also said that she sent you more than ten messages and you didn't reply. I think it's your fault. Everyone has given you a step up. You don't give people face."

"I-he-mother thought I had already broken up with her, and even replied a fart text message." Ling Chuan was speechless, and did not expect such a big misunderstanding in the middle.

No wonder.

He thought it was strange at the time, how could Gu Siyi's taste be so fancy to that kind of... weird.

But through this incident, he suddenly realized that he really didn't seem to care about Gu Siyi that much. He just followed the trend when he accepted her, and he felt boring when talking about it, but he just didn't have the nerve to speak up.

If it was possible, he would rather be misunderstood like this for the rest of his life.

"Then hurry up and call someone to coax them." Yang Fan said.

"Aren't those words back and forth, she doesn't get tired of it, I get tired of it." Ling Chuan frowned.

Yang Fan's side suddenly became quiet, and he said after a while, "What do you mean, don't you really want to break up with her?"

Now it was Ling Chuan's turn to be silent.

He originally thought that the two of them had already broken up, but now there was another chance to reconcile, and he didn't know what to do. He really didn't plan to reconcile this time.

"You are still hesitating," Yang Fan said calmly, "Do you still need to think about this matter? If you don't coax them back, there will be a lot of people squatting behind."

"Just squat down, she can enjoy the feeling of being surrounded and supported by suitors without me." Ling Chuan said firmly.

"It's up to you, anyway, I've already brought it, it's up to you to call or not," Yang Fan thought for a while, and added, "Follow your own thinking, after passing this village, there are still quite a lot of shops."

Ling Chuan smiled, "Well, I see."

After hanging up the phone, he hesitated, thinking that this matter should be explained clearly to Gu Siyi in person.

"Ling Chuan."

Ling Chuan was thinking about something, when the voice that fell from the sky made his shoulders tremble in fright.

Originally, half of his body was paralyzed in the chair, his two legs were still touching the edge of the table, and the four legs of the chair were propped up on the ground unsteadily with the two rear legs. He took the chair and fell straight backwards.

With a wave of his hands, he lay on the ground with his eyes darkened, and his back was numb.

He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, his legs were still hanging on the legs of the chair, his posture should be as cowardly as possible.

"Pfft." A laugh came from behind.

Ling Chuan turned his head abruptly, Jiang Kai laughed unabashedly, lying on the railing of the balcony with half of his body laughing.

"Damn! Laugh fart! You didn't scare me!" Ling Chuan struggled to get up from the ground, Jiang Kai couldn't stop laughing on the opposite side, Ling Chuan rubbed his waist, and then couldn't restrain himself from laughing .

My mother poked her head out of the bedroom when she heard the sound, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ling Chuan turned his head and waved his hands, "It's okay, I accidentally fell."

"I can fall while sitting, I really admire you," my mother looked at him, "It doesn't hurt from the fall, does it?"

"It's okay." Ling Chuan turned to the side and lifted up the chair on the ground, "Young man, it's fine to jump off the third floor."

"Virtue," my mother smiled, "Do your homework well!"

Ling Chuan rubbed his buttocks, Jiang Kai and him were facing each other, separated by two fences, it could be seen that Jiang Kai was struggling to hold back his laughter.

"Laugh, let's laugh, let's laugh," Ling Chuan looked at him, "It's right for you to laugh."

"No, I originally wanted to remind you that your chair is about to fall." Jiang Kai put away the smile on the corner of his mouth and said seriously.

"It wouldn't have fallen, but you scared it!" Ling Chuan glared at him.

"Can't you sit still, I can't see your head from behind, and your legs have to be placed on the table." Jiang Kai said with a smile.

"Impossible!" Ling Chuan raised his foot to rest on the railing, then slapped his thigh, "What's wrong with me putting it on the table, I can still put my head on it!"

"Oh! It's amazing," Jiang Kai made a gesture of invitation, "Leave me one."

"Don't come!" Ling Chuan stiffened his neck, "You think I'm a fool!"

Jiang Kai laughed out loud, and Ling Chuan couldn't help laughing too, and the two of them laughed like fools facing each other.

It took Jiang Kai a long time to stop smiling and ask, "Have you finished your homework?"

Ling Chuan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Guess."

"Do your homework obediently, I'm going to cook supper." Jiang Kai raised his lips and turned around.

Ling Chuan held out Erkang's hand, "Don't..."

"Huh?" Jiang Kai turned around.

"Then what..." Ling Chuan swallowed, "I won't."

"Flip through the book, look for sample questions, look up notes, and think about it slowly. Only the answers that come up in your own mind are your own. Don't expect to copy mine." Jiang Kai read his mind and said seriously .

Ling Chuan pursed his lips, and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't intend to copy it... I said I would copy it." Ling Chuan said these words very confidently, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Jiang Kai looked at him with folded arms, without saying a word. After a while, Ling Chuan suddenly thought of the half pizza left for Jiang Kai, "Ah! Do you want pizza?"

"It's useless to bribe me," Jiang Kai pointed to the table behind him, "Do it yourself."
