For dinner, Ye Ran fried a dish of cabbage heart, braised octopus in soy sauce, and made beef tenderloin with green pepper and a pot of seaweed egg soup.

Zhou Si took off his coat, and the camel turtleneck sweater inside made him a lot lighter.He was next to Ye Ran, and said on the side that he wanted to beat him.

After breaking a plate, Zhou Si calmed down and concentrated on tasting with chopsticks, making comments from time to time.

The appearance of that uncle made Ye Ran just want to shovel a pot to the corridor outside, out of sight and out of mind.

"I can't tell, the craftsmanship is not bad." Zhou Si's voice was ambiguous with cabbage stuffed in his mouth.

"My father is always on business trips, and my mother also travels far away from time to time. In the small restaurant downstairs, there are white-cut chicken, pumpkin pie, sauerkraut fish and braised short ribs. It's the same over and over again. I'm about to throw up." Ye Ran said with a smile, " What can I do if I don't cook for myself?"

"I'm not used to it at first, my hands are weak when holding a knife, and my fingers will inevitably suffer when I chop vegetables, and I can't handle the salt properly, but practice makes perfect, and it gets better later on."

Zhou Si put down the chopsticks and stared at Ye Ran, seeing Ye Ran frightened, but saw him suddenly chuckle and said: "You are quite open."

He grabbed Ye Ran's hand and saw that his index finger still had an unfinished scratch. Although it was a faint trace, it spread to his heart, which made him feel mixed feelings.

Ye Ran withdrew his hand and turned off the gas stove: "They... are always the people in this world who put me at ease the most."

Zhou Si didn't bring a change of clothes, so Ye Ran found his underwear, T-shirt and a towel from the closet and handed him a towel, leading him to the bathroom.

The old-fashioned buildings at that time were about [-] square meters in total, and the cramped bathrooms can be imagined.Normally, Ye Ran was alone in the bathroom, and he couldn't turn around, but now he was a big man with broad shoulders and long legs. In the narrow space, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Zhou Si almost stuck to Ye Ran's body, pretending to study his solar water heater.Ye Ran uncomfortably sent people to the bathroom door, and demonstrated how to adjust the water temperature.

"There is a cut of cold water at the beginning of the shower, just use this green bucket to continue."

After thinking about it, he took out the non-slip blanket from the cabinet, spread it on the ground, jumped up and down a few times, and pressed the blanket tightly.

"Soap and shampoo are on the window sill. Throw the dirty clothes in the basin, and I'll wash them together later."

Zhou Si leaned on the door frame with her arms folded, looking at Ye Ran who was busy up and down.He remembered that on a winter afternoon, he and a few of his neighbor's playmates sat in a row in the living room of his grandmother's house, listening to her talk about the seven heroes and five righteousness.

The winter in the south is always damp and cold to the bone, and there is no heating. Grandma lit a charcoal fire in the living room, which made the children's cheeks red.The wind and rain outside the window are dark, this is a rare moment of warmth in his memory.

Like Ye Ran who was turning the blinds with his back turned to him at this time, it made Zhou Si think of the old age in a certain moment.

The incandescent lamp in the living room has been used for three years and has not been replaced, so the light is a bit dim.Ye Ran finished writing a mechanics problem and rubbed his eyes.The sound of water in the bathroom gradually weakened, and after a while, Zhou Si shouted from inside: "Ye Ran, I forgot to take my clothes—"

Sure enough, Zhou Si's change of clothes was piled up on the sofa.Holding it in his hand, Ye Ran knocked on the bathroom door, trying to pass the clothes through the crack in the door.But when the bathroom door was pulled open, steaming water vapor rushed towards Ye Ran's face, covering Ye Ran's whole body.

Zhou Si just stood in front of Ye Ran so big. The 16-year-old Zhou Si looked lean, and when he took off his coat, the texture of his wheat-colored muscles appeared. As he wiped the water droplets on his body, his muscles were pulled out into smooth and powerful lines.The strong aroma of shampoo filled the air, making Ye Ran a little dazed.

"Give me the clothes, why are you in a daze." Zhou Si looked at Ye Ran with a faint smile on his face.

Ye Ran came back to his senses, stuffed the balled clothes into Zhou Si's arms, his face was a little hot.

His white striped T-shirt was too small for Zhou Si's body, his shoulders were stretched tightly, the Snoopy on his chest was stretched almost out of shape, and the wide face of the puppy seemed aggrieved.

Ye Ran's bed was not big, and it was a bit cramped for two young men.Ye Ran curled up sideways on the edge of the bed, feeling uncomfortable with his hands and feet bound, so he sat up.

He turned on the bedside lamp and said, "This bed is a bit crowded, I'll go to my parents' room to sleep."

Zhou Si's head was buried under the quilt, and his muffled voice was somewhat dissatisfied: "I sleep alone and it's cold."

There is no heating in the south, even if Ye Ran has closed the doors and windows tightly, the room is still chilly.Ye Ran had no choice but to say: "Then I'll fill you with a hot water bottle."

Before Ye Ran's lower|half|body left the bed, his waist was surrounded by Zhou Si from behind, and he was pressed directly on the|bed|bed.

Zhou Si hugged Ye Ran, put her right arm on his waist, and her long legs clamped his lower body, and she almost rolled over |on |human|body.

"Is it still crowded like this?"

Ye Ran was immobilized by Zhou Si's dark energy, and wanted to bend his knees to give him a blow, but Zhou Si laughed and said: "Okay, okay, I'm exhausted today, let's How about a good night's sleep?"

Under the light of rotten leaves, Zhou Si's lower eyelids had a slight cyan color, and his amber pupils showed fatigue. Although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, there was a trace of grievance that was not easy to detect. As a boy, Ye Ran would not The swollen heart that was inferior to others seemed to have been stabbed with a needle.

In the wet and cold southern winter night, Ye Ran's heart felt empty, but at the same time, a strange emotion grew.

Then sleep well.

As May was coming to an end, Ye Ran had to face up to a question that had lingered in his heart for a long time - whether to study literature or to study theory.

Students in the science experimental class basically don't have this trouble.At the moment they entered the High School Attached to Normal University, or even earlier, such as when they won the first prize in the Hua Cup in the third grade of elementary school, they had already planned their lives.Such an ignorant planning based on competitive psychology made most of them not regard the division of arts and sciences as a difficult choice.

At the beginning of his freshman year in high school, Ye Ran thought about the division of arts and sciences. He even made up his mind to transfer to the arts and sciences class in his second year of high school for about a week.

The history, politics, and geography of the science experimental class are no longer listened to by many people. Most people are either catching up on sleep or brushing up on questions.Ye Ran was indeed taking notes all the time, and he faintly felt that he might try to change some things that seemed to be done, such as the matter of academic theory.

What made him embarrassed was Zhou Si's attitude.In a section test last semester, Ye Ran's physics paper was an eye-catching "78". This kind of score made him really helpless.As usual, Zhou Si chased away Qian Cheng and wanted to give a lecture to Ye Ran.While talking about the topic, Zhou Si suddenly asked: "Do you plan to study literature?"

Ye Ran was calculating a circuit problem, and the tip of the pen made a deep mark on the draft paper.He raised his head and smiled, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Zhou Si pointed to the history textbook in her hand: "Who's history book in our class is not brand new, but yours is like a dog."

Ye Ran threw the pen and rubbed his eyes: "Yeah, I've been thinking about whether to transfer to the liberal arts class in the second year of high school."

Zhou Si hesitated to speak, and only said: "Happiness is the most important thing, as long as you like it."

After a while, Zhou Si came over again and snatched the pen from Ye Ran's hand, making Ye Ran have to look at him.Zhou Si swallowed and said, "I don't want you to retweet."

His voice was actually a little trembling, because he was afraid of being labeled as domineering and selfish by Ye Ran.But he can't encourage Ye Ran to do what he likes against his will, because he is afraid that in the long years of more than 600 days in the future, there will be no such person as Ye Ran by his side.He couldn't bear the feeling of not being able to see Ye Ran when he turned around in the classroom.

He was even more afraid that the class division would make them drift apart and become ordinary friends, not even ordinary friends.

Ye Ran withdrew his pen from Zhou Si's hand, lowered his head and continued to write the title: "I'll think about it again."

The result of thinking about it is that Ye Ran gave up transcribing the text and stayed in the science class.He consulted his teachers and seniors, and weighed it for a few days. When he filled out the volunteers for the college entrance examination, he had a wider range of choices.If you choose liberal arts, you will not be able to apply for some science, engineering and medical majors. If you study science, you will not be restricted to apply for humanities and social sciences.Although Ye Ran is not very good at physics, but it will not be a hindrance. His grades in subjects other than physics are very top-notch. Even if Qingbei is not good, the five East China schools are no problem.

So Ye Ran wrote "Science" on the subject volunteer form.

In the science experimental class, none of the students transferred to the liberal arts class in the end.It is said that in the science experimental class these years, only one senior named Xie Siyao went to the liberal arts class three months before the college entrance examination, and finally passed the Faculty of Management of F University.

Ye Weixin's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he can only go home for a day or two in two or three months.Ye Ran only knew that his father was no longer in the hardware business, but he didn't know exactly which line he would switch to.

Ye Weixin threw away the cheap bulk wine at home and replaced it with Moutai Wuliangye.During the few time he stayed at home, while drinking a few sips of wine, he told Ye Ran, just study hard and don't have to worry about adults.Occasionally, Ye Ran got too drunk, and Ye Ran had to carry him to the bedroom.

Her husband didn't go home all the year round, and Ye Ran also stayed at the boarding house. Du Jieying became more and more flustered, so she simply contacted several suppliers and started a clothing business.Once this small business is started, it is endless trouble.When Ye Ran came home on weekends, Du Jieying didn't have time to take care of him, so he sent him to a small restaurant for lunch and dinner with a few hundred dollars.

It's better to eat in the cafeteria, Ye Ran thought helplessly.

The house was cold and lifeless, so Ye Ran was reluctant to go home, and stayed at school for several weekends.

The author has something to say: The winter in the south is really tormenting, but it is finally the beginning of spring, I hope the weather will gradually warm up TAT
