it takes a little effort

Jiang Kai didn't stay at Ling Chuan's house to do his homework today, and went back to Tao Liang's house after telling him a few wrong questions.

Teacher Zhao copied all the test questions from previous years' math competitions for him. During the day, he tried to finish the homework that he could finish at school, and took time to do the test questions at night. Two papers a day, this was the task he set for himself.

There is still more than a week before the preliminary round, so there is still time to spare, but right now there is one thing that really bothers him.

Gu Weidong called him again, and made an appointment for dinner this Saturday night, and introduced two people to him by the way.

Gu Weidong's parents, that is, his grandfather and grandmother.

As long as he can remember, Jiang Kai has only had one grandfather in his life.

His grandma died of illness. She was only in her 30s when she died. At that time, the medical level in the town was really bad. No one dared to determine what his grandma's illness was. The last symptom was fever, which lasted day and night. It was not until many years later that I realized that it was probably cancer.

Mom committed suicide.

Although many people said that it was because Gu Weidong didn't take her to the city to get married that she couldn't think about it, but Jiang Kai always felt that he was also a huge factor that led to her suicide. If her mother was not pregnant at that time, she should not have committed suicide. .

"Take you home and see your grandparents." Gu Weidong's original words said so.

This is a particularly unreal feeling, a bunch of people came to recognize their relatives in droves.

It made him instinctively want to resist and escape, but it is undeniable that in the deepest part of his heart, there is a small desire.

This little emotion was suppressed to the extreme, and I could hardly feel it.

Gu Weidong seems to be implementing his plan step by step, starting with people who are related by blood, and breaking through one by one.

Grandparents accepted him, maybe they were looking forward to it, which can be sensed from Gu Weidong's excited tone when talking with him.

Jiang Kai had to accept the fact that his fate was being rewritten, although he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

The next morning, Jiang Kai was woken up by the crisp doorbell, short but intense, continuous, what a familiar feeling.

"What's the matter!?" Jiang Kai opened the door with his messy hair and sleepiness, his hoarse voice startled even himself, and he turned his head and coughed twice.

"Are you asleep?" Ling Chuan was probably a little embarrassed, and smirked twice.

Jiang Kai looked back at the clock on the wall, it was a quarter past five.

"Otherwise, do a square dance?" He scratched his hair, and slept later than usual last night. He hasn't recovered yet, and he's a little annoyed to wake up.

"My mother heard the people downstairs say that there was a thief last night, and it's just your downstairs house," Ling Chuan pointed down, "so I'm a little worried, let me come over and ask."

"Oh, I'm fine." Jiang Kai's anger disappeared immediately after hearing the reason, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, "When did it happen last night?"

"It was around two o'clock in the morning. The aunt came home from work before the thief had time to evacuate. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a figure jump into the bathroom, and then jumped out of the bathroom window. The aunt was so scared that she cried. The thief ran away for a long time before he thought of calling the police." Ling Chuan suddenly lowered his voice and approached Jiang Kai, "Thinking about the scene, it's quite scary."

Indeed a little.

If it was something that happened a long time ago or something that happened in another community, maybe this feeling would not be so strong.

"She's the only one at home?" Jiang Kai stepped aside and motioned for him to come in, "Has the thief succeeded?"

"Her husband is on a business trip, alone." Ling Chuan casually changed into a pair of slippers at the door. "It is said that some cash and jewelry were stolen. I don't know the details. I have to go gossip with the security guard downstairs."

"Oh, as long as people are fine." Jiang Kai said lightly.

"Coincidentally, it's just downstairs from us, if we come up again..." Ling Chuan swallowed the last half of the sentence, "I can't imagine."

"That kind of thief must have stepped on it in advance. If he knew there was someone here, he would definitely not come up," Jiang Kai said. "And if he was discovered this time, he probably won't come here again. You don't have to be too nervous."

"I don't care. There are so many people in my family. If he dared to come up, my dad's black iron kitchen knife just castrated him." Ling Chuan glanced at him, "It's mainly you, living alone, it's not safe of."

"I'm poor and white, and I can't find a fart after three days and two nights." Jiang Kai said.

"That person doesn't know that you don't have a fart," Ling Chuan looked towards the balcony, "It's better to be careful, remember to check the doors and windows when you go out."

"Okay," Jiang Kai yawned, "I'm going to brush my teeth, have you done it?"

"I've done it a long time ago. I was woken up by my mother at four o'clock today. Washing clothes is like being mopped up by the Japanese devils. There are jingling bells. As long as I am woken up, I can't fall asleep." Ling Chuan said.

"It's early," Jiang Kai squeezed some toothpaste, "Did you finish your homework?"

Ling Chuan stood at the door of the bathroom and looked at him, knocking his head on the door frame: "I wrote it... I haven't finished it yet."

"Go and get your homework," Jiang Kai mumbled with his toothbrush in his mouth, seeing that he was standing still, he stretched out his hand and pointed out and said sharply, "Go."

After Jiang Kai finished washing, he seized the time to explain some big topics to Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan is actually quite smart, basically he can master it as soon as he is taught, but he usually doesn't want to spend much time on his studies. If he can work harder, it shouldn't be a big problem to pass the second-year exam.

According to his past personality, it is impossible to take the initiative to find trouble for himself, but last night Ling Chuan said that he wanted to be his friend, which moved him a little.

Of course, it must not be just because of that sentence.

Ling Chuan's extroverted, warm-hearted, and forthright personality is hard to hate.

It is estimated that Jiang Kai will never be able to do something like serving glutinous rice balls to the other party when he is not familiar with it. Ling Chuan can do it, and he does it so confidently, because he is not afraid of meeting strangers, nor be rejected.

Jiang Kai is very envious of his casualness and boldness, and his full confidence.

He can naturally regard the other party as a friend, without reason or defense, he is very optimistic and simple.

"I can't finish writing, lend me to copy yours." Ling Chuan said impatiently.

Well, it's very shameless.

Under Ling Chuan's begging and coquettish offensive, Jiang Kai mercifully confessed the English workbook, and Ling Chuan weighed it in his hand for a long time as if he had dug up a treasure.

"Hurry up," Jiang Kai pointed to the clock on the wall, "Can't write, can't copy?"

"No, I'll just look at your character, write it..." Ling Chuan gave a thumbs up, "It's so beautiful!"

Jiang Kai took out two English copybooks from the desk and threw them to him, "Practice more when you have time, your writing looks like earthworms, I have to use a magnifying glass to read your composition."

"Hey, I'll just think about it, this God is really unfair," Ling Chuan sighed, bowed his head and began to copy the answer, "Why do you gain all the strengths from you, I really want to change my mind with you."

"You have long legs, and your bicycle is whizzing," Jiang Kai said, "I'm late for the bus, so you see me off today."

"Success," Ling Chuan looked up at him, a little secretly pleased, "As long as you are willing to copy your homework for me, I will pick you up and drop you off every day, and it's fine for you to be your cow or horse."

Jiang Kai sneered, "That's all you can use."

"I can also treat you to Xiaolongbao." Ling Chuan said.

"No, I'll treat you today." Jiang Kai stuffed the wallet on the table into his bag.

"I have a big appetite," Ling Chuan stretched out his hand to make a circle the size of half a fist, "If it's this big, start at ten, if it's..."

"Quick, copy." Jiang Kai gritted his teeth.

Ling Chuan's behavior of copying homework delayed their original plan to eat steamed buns, so they had to postpone it and eat sesame seed cakes instead.

Since it was Jiang Kai's treat, Ling Chuan only asked for five, that's all, and he even got a look on Jiang Kai's face, "Are you a pig?" ' The disgusted expression.

In the third class, he was already so hungry that he rushed to the canteen to buy two pieces of bread with chicken drumsticks after class.

"Did you not eat breakfast?" Yang Fan took the mineral water bottle in Ling Chuan's hand and took a sip.

"I've eaten, I'm not full." Ling Chuan bit the bread with big mouthfuls.

"Did you change your route recently? Why can't I always meet you when I go to school?" Yang Fan said.

"Oh, another way to go these two days is to send a friend to foreign language." Ling Chuan said.

"Just met that one a few days ago?" Yang Fan asked.

"Ang, that's him," Ling Chuan slammed down half a bottle of water, "Why don't you guess Gu Siyi?"

"You didn't mention a friend, you didn't mention a girlfriend." Yang Fan said.

Ling Chuan smiled, in fact, he is not a girlfriend anymore, since he did not respond to the bombardment of Siyi's text messages on the Internet, there has been no movement at all.

After eating the bread in silence, Ling Chuan suddenly thought of Zhou Yueyi's arguing about going to the zoo, "My sister said that I'm going to the zoo on Saturday, are you going?"

"Go!" Yang Fan immediately regained his energy, "Of course! When is Saturday? How many people? Just me and her?"

"You are so beautiful," Ling Chuan gave him a sidelong glance, "I will go too, ten million volts will blind you."

Yang Fan smiled obsequiously: "Whatever brother says is what he says."

"Stay away from death." Ling Chuan smiled and patted Yang Fan's arm wrapped around his neck away.

It's not a day or two for Yang Fan to have a crush on Zhou Yueyi.

Ling Chuan would occasionally give him benefits, invite people out to have a meal at McDonald's or something to relieve his lovesickness.

Considering that Zhou Yueyi is still young, he will usually be stuck in the middle as a light bulb, but Zhou Yueyi, a girl with no strings in her head, is full of Mary Su-style bloody love, and cannot accept this kind of relationship between common people and common people. In love, I wholeheartedly hope that one day a down-and-out nobleman will run into her blind, and then have a vigorous n-corner relationship.

But this also made Ling Chuan heave a sigh of relief. It is estimated that this girl's puppy love is hopeless. Looking around, their school is full of idiots.

Jiang Kai was woken up by the doorbell again on Saturday morning, and he didn't feel the need for an alarm clock anymore.

It is still a familiar rhythm, like sending a telegram, the kind that you can't stop once you press it, you don't need to think about it to know that it is Ling Chuan again.

I was just wondering if you misremembered the day and you don't have class today, when you opened the door, you saw two men and two women standing at the door.

Eight eyes stared at him in unison.

Jiang Kai was stunned.

"Wait!" After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

While changing his clothes, Jiang Kai recalled the faces that flashed by just now.

He recognized Ling Chuan and his cousin, and there was a boy who looked familiar, and the other girl, whom he had never met.

"As for what, it's not that you don't have clothes on." Ling Chuan shouted outside, and then he heard the voice of someone outside talking under his breath.

"What's undressed?"

"The last time my brother and I came and knocked on the door, he didn't have any clothes on."

"Wow, what did you see?"

"No, my brother saw it."

"Oh my god, it's too basic."

"The point is! I'm telling you! After my brother drove me away, he went in by himself!"

"Mom! And then!"

"...I just send a bowl of glutinous rice balls."

"Oh my god! Send glutinous rice balls!"

……

Early in the morning, what the hell.

Jiang Kai changed the vest and pants and opened the door again.

"Brother Jiang Kai." Zhou Yueyi called out sweetly.

"Yeah." Jiang Kai nodded.

"Brother Jiang Kai..." The little girl who had never met before also called out, "My name is Sun Jiaxi."

"Well, hello." Jiang Kai glanced at her.

"Brother Jiang Kai." Yang Fan squeezed his throat and joined in the fun.

Jiang Kai frowned, looking at this cheap look, he remembered the last time he had seen him in school, the one who fought with Ling Chuan.

"Morning! Little Jiangjiang." Ling Chuan raised the brim of his baseball cap.

"What's going on?" Jiang Kai asked.

"We're going to the zoo together, are you going?" Ling Chuan asked.

"Me?" Jiang Kai pointed to his chest, a little shocked, no one in school had ever pulled him to participate in this kind of small group activities in private, and he was not familiar with these people.

"Yeah, should we go? Anyway, it's Saturday, it's fine to be idle at home." Ling Chuan said.

"I'm not going." Jiang Kai twitched the corners of his mouth tactfully, seeing this group of people chattering gave him a headache.

"Don't! Why!" Zhou Yueyi took a step forward and looked up at Jiang Kai, "Let's go together, it's interesting if there are many people."

Jiang Kai couldn't understand why he had to form a group when he went to the zoo. He licked his lips and said, "It's not about people, it's about animals."

"It's not just about going to the zoo." Zhou Yueyi patted his backpack, "I brought a lot of delicious food. We will buy a joint ticket later, so we can go to the nearby Kumho for a picnic."

"You can still row a boat!" Sun Jiaxi said.

"Go, it's very interesting. It's much cheaper for five people to buy a package ticket together." Ling Chuan raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Kai was not very interested in this small group activity, and felt that it would be better to stay at home and read books alone, but he didn't want to spoil their interest, so after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Then wait for me for a while and wash your face. "

"Okay!" The two girls clapped their hands excitedly.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you." Ling Chuan said with a smile.

Seeing a group of people crowded at the door, Jiang Kai rubbed the back of his neck uncomfortably, and pointed at the living room with his backhand, "Come in for a meeting?"

Several people rushed into the living room like zombies, Ling Chuan shouted at the door, "Change your shoes, change your shoes, change your shoes!"

"No more shoes!" Yang Fan shouted.

"Then go barefoot! Don't trample the floor dirty!" Ling Chuan roared, "Zhou Yueyi! Don't touch people's things!"

Jiang Kai breathed a sigh of relief, bowed ninety degrees to Ling Chuan from the bottom of his heart, and hurried to the bathroom to wash up.

Since we were going to two places, it was too troublesome to stop and go by bus, and it was too expensive to take a taxi, so we decided to take a battery car to go there.

Ling Chuan asked his mother to borrow an electric scooter, and Yang Fan also rode a small sheep electric scooter. There was no way to squeeze three people together, which meant that one of them had to ride a bicycle.

Of course the two girls were not happy about it. In the end, Ling Chuan and Yang Fan could only guess who would ride the bicycle. As for why Jiang Kai was not allowed to participate in the game, it was probably because of his gloomy face that he felt that the next second he would make such a request. Say 'then you go'.

Sometimes it pays to be unfriendly.

Jiang Kai went out after washing his face and saw Ling Chuan slumped on the sofa with a more gloomy face than his.

The guess is lost.

"Where is the zoo?" Jiang Kai realized that he lacked a sense of direction after asking, and added, "How many kilometers?"

"More than ten kilometers." Yang Fan said.

"It's a bit far," Jiang Kai found a thick hemp rope from the cabinet, "Tie the bicycle behind you and drag it behind."

Ling Chuan clapped his hands and jumped up from the sofa, "Good idea! Why didn't I think of it!"

Jiang Kai sneered, "Let's go."

When going downstairs, Yang Fan kept leaning towards Zhou Yueyi, "Is your bag heavy, or I'll carry it for you."

Zhou Yueyi threw the backpack into Yang Fan's arms, "Don't steal it!"

"I obey." Yang Fan happily hugged Zhou Yueyi's backpack and patted it.

"Yo..." Sun Jiaxi smiled meaningfully.

Jiang Kai and Ling Chuan looked at each other.

"My bag is also quite heavy," Ling Chuan sighed, "I have to ride for a while..."

"It just so happens that I didn't eat breakfast, so I'll help you eat some." Jiang Kai opened the zipper without any explanation, and took a piece of bread.

"...Can you cooperate a little bit!" Ling Chuan patted his thigh.

"No." Jiang Kai left him a back view.

Probably because birds of a feather flock together, Ling Chuan brought a group of friends who were talkative, Jiang Kai, in order to make himself less rigid, he also added a sentence when everyone was discussing the constellation issue, "Then what constellation in early November? "

"Scorpio," Zhou Yueyi flipped through the booklet in his hand, "Well...a water sign, with a cold and extreme personality, good at disguising himself...unstoppable desire and strong passion will stimulate your motivation, both yearning for sex and Calm and restrained..."

"Brother Kai, are you a Scorpio?" Yang Fan asked.

"No, I asked for someone else." Jiang Kai said with a sullen face.

Yang Fan tilted his head, showing an expression of 'I know everything', "Don't be shy."

Jiang Kai felt a violent impulse towards the back of his head.

"Also, listen to me." Zhou Yueyi amplified the decibels, "Scorpio boys are good at guessing other people's weaknesses, have a strong desire for revenge, and are super possessive and... sexual desire, full of energy ..."

Ling Chuan said "Wow" in the background very well.

Jiang Kai was so helpless, he opened his mouth to stop her from reading, but it was too deliberate when he thought about it, so he could only pinch the bridge of his nose.

Yang Fan turned his head again and whispered: "It's okay, brother Kai, you will be an adult in one year, when the time comes you..."

"Shut up and watch the road." Jiang Kai pointed ahead.

When he turned around, he found that Ling Chuan had pedaled the bike to a position parallel to him at some point, and there was still a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his mouth.

The big scorpio Jiang Xueba looked away as if nothing had happened.
