Yuan Ning slept peacefully all night, but many people didn't sleep well this night.

Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan recently received a troublesome task to prepare for the establishment of the Student Appeal Committee.

The Student Grievance Committee mainly deals with conflicts between students and students, between students and teachers, between students and the school.Song Xingchen is also experienced in this area, but it is very difficult to make preparations by clarifying school rules and regulations, collecting precedents of past cases, and communicating with students and schools.

Song Xingchen is very strong in his bones. He hasn't been home for two weekends, and he is focused on this matter.Hao Xiaolan was also busy with him.

After the open class on Monday morning, Yuan Ning saw Hao Xiaolan standing outside the big classroom waiting for her.Yuan Ning hurriedly said goodbye to the students on the left and right, and ran over to ask, "Xiaolan, are you looking for me?" He found that Hao Xiaolan was a bit haggard, so he couldn't help asking, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Hao Xiaolan looked at the crowds pouring out of the big classroom, and pulled Yuan Ning to a quiet place.All around fell silent, Hao Xiaolan said: "Ning Ning, I think Song Xingchen has been embarrassed."

Yuan Ning frowned: "What's going on?"

Hao Xiaolan told the truth about the student appeal committee.She was not very happy: "There is no reason to entrust so many things to newcomers! Song Xingchen has a strong temper, and he won't push the things entrusted to him. But he just joined the student union, and others don't want to listen to it." He arranges. Do you remember Cai Yuankai? The one who went to other provinces to study with his father in high school. His father used to be a member of the provincial education department. He is also in the student union, and he seems to be very familiar with those in the capital. It's outside."

Yuan Ning looked at Hao Xiaolan's listless whole person, and frowned even deeper.In fact, Hao Xiaolan and Song Xingchen have not encountered many setbacks.Even if he was embarrassed, Song Xingchen believed that he could rely on his own ability to deal with it.

Last week, Song Xingchen came to ask him if he wanted to join the student union. In fact, he had revealed a rare signal for help, but he didn't notice it at all considering that he had a lot of things to do.Yuan Ning said: "It's almost time for dinner, let's go find him for dinner together."

Hao Xiaolan nodded: "Song Xingchen is in the student union right now." She said sadly, "He's almost taking over there as his family, and stays there to work every day."

Yuan Ning reassured: "It's okay. Song Xingchen must be so serious because he thinks it's a good thing that this matter can be done well." Yuan Ning doesn't really want to get into trouble, but if a friend is already in trouble , he naturally cannot ignore it.Anyway, in the Asian League Winter Games, he was just going through the motions, and had no ambition to grab the sixteen spots.

Yuan Ning walked towards the student union with Hao Xiaolan while thinking.At present, Capital University has paid great attention to the cultivation of students' self-government ability, so two floors have been designated separately for the student union as an activity center.Because it was almost dinner time, the student union was quiet and there was no one there.

Yuan Ning followed Hao Xiaolan up to the third floor, and suddenly saw a group of white pigeons standing on the branches outside the corridor.The pigeon's feathers are as white as snow, like large clusters of white flowers on the branches.The weather is a little cold, they don't look very energetic, and their dark eyes look dull.After realizing that Yuan Ning was looking at them, the pigeons suddenly became excited, flapping their snowflake-like wings one after another, and screaming from their mouths.

Yuan Ning took a closer look and found that the pigeons were all facing the same direction, as if they wanted to tell him what was going on there.Fourth floor!

Yuan Ning turned to Hao Xiaolan and said, "Wait here for a while, I'll go upstairs and have a look!"

Hao Xiaolan paused and nodded.She and Yuan Ning have known each other for so many years, and she is more or less used to such things, obediently waiting in place, watching Yuan Ning's back running up.The pigeons calmed down when Yuan Ning walked upstairs, as if they weren't the ones who got restless just now.

Yuan Ning walked up to the fourth floor and found that the upstairs was empty. Hearing it again, there seemed to be movement around the corner.

"Li Yanqiu, don't think that you are so great just because Grandpa likes you!" After approaching, a mid-spirited voice came from around the corner, "Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"

Yuan Ning was taken aback, and ran over, only to see a boy in his twenties blocking Li Yanqiu at the end of the corridor, pressing him step by step, reaching out and grabbing Li Yanqiu's collar, as if he wanted to press Li Yanqiu on the railing and beat him.

"What I can't stand the most is your hypocritical look!" The boy said cursingly, "Damn it, I've had enough of you! Others will eat what you do, but I won't!"

Li Yanqiu frowned, looking at Yuan Ning who appeared around the corner.

Only then did the boy notice that someone was coming up.

Li Yanqiu shook off the boy's hand and said to Yuan Ning, "Junior Brother Yuan, what do you want?"

The boy stood aside with a sullen face, looking at Yuan Ning with heavy eyes: "Hey, little flower protector?" He sneered, "Do you know that he likes men? He is a pervert! He usually pretends to be a good person, What I pretend to be in my heart are those dirty thoughts that cannot be seen!"

Yuan Ning did not expect to hear such a thing.He looked at Li Yanqiu and found that Li Yanqiu lowered his head and slightly clenched his fists.Is this how others see it?Abnormal, nasty!Yuan Ning also clenched his fists.He ran forward to block Li Yanqiu: "The filth didn't even touch you, so what does it have to do with you!"

The boy rolled his eyes.He looked at Li Yanqiu in disbelief: "You actually attacked such a small baby!"

Yuan Ning: "..."

The boy said, "Believe it or not, I'll go back and tell grandpa!"

Li Yanqiu became impatient: "You like to talk or not."

The boy looked at Yuan Ning, then at Li Yanqiu, gritted his teeth and left.

Li Yanqiu looked at the boy's leaving direction until the boy's back disappeared, and then he said: "He is my cousin, his name is Han Chuang. He is 20 years old and still impulsive like a hot-blooded boy. He always gets into trouble, and his name is very similar." I deserve it. My grandfather told me to take care of him. I can't control his virtue." Maybe Yuan Ning saw the conflict between himself and Han Chuang, but Li Yanqiu became generous, "Don't talk to him from now on. What he said It's true, if you care—"

"I don't care." Yuan Ning said, "It's my own thing to like the same sex and the opposite sex." Sometimes such things can't even be controlled by myself, let alone others have the right to dictate.

Li Yanqiu looked at Yuan Ning in surprise.

Yuan Ning would not tell Li Yanqiu everything.He said: "I checked the information on this. Now there are studies that show that liking the same sex or liking the opposite sex is sometimes controlled by genes. Some people are naturally attracted to the same sex, and the opposite sex is not attractive to this part of people. "Yuan Ning looked at Li Yanqiu, "Just like most people are right-handed, some people are left-handed. Many things in this world are designed for the right hand, which is a bit dangerous and inconvenient for left-handers, so the people around will Trying to correct left-handed people."

Li Yanqiu felt a little happy when she heard Yuan Ning comforting herself earnestly.Thinking of Han Chuang saying that Yuan Ning was a small baby, now that he looked carefully, he was indeed quite small, and his dark eyes were somewhat similar to Han Chuang's when he was a boy.Li Yanqiu laughed and reached out to rub Yuan Ning's head: "Thank you for your comfort."

Yuan Ning knew that people like Li Yanqiu did not need comfort from others.He said to Li Yanqiu: "My friends are still downstairs, I have to find them for dinner!"

"It's Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan." Li Yanqiu said, "The three of you are very famous. I didn't expect you to go to the Chess Association after you went to college."

Yuan Ning was a little surprised.He shyly said: "The capital gathers capable people from all over the country. Relatively speaking, I am just a very ordinary freshman." Neither he nor Song Xingchen took the college entrance examination, and they were recommended directly, so it shouldn't be too eye-catching is.

Li Yanqiu patiently explained: "The higher you go, the smaller the circle." He looked at Yuan Ning's face that had faded from childishness, "Sometimes the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. When you have stepped into this circle, want to Returning to a peaceful life is impossible."

Yuan Ning thought about Li Yanqiu's words.

"I'm also one of the people who are eyeing you." Li Yanqiu said frankly, "Not long ago, I told people that I would find a way to let you join the student union, so I went to the Chess Association to try my luck and see if I could see you."

Yuan Ning was a little surprised: "Senior Li..."

Li Yanqiu smiled, obviously he had a handsome face, but when he smiled, there was a bit of strange beauty that people couldn't take their eyes off.He said: "For the sake of being a hero and saving the beauty just now, I decided not to force you. However, if you want to join, I can still recommend you." He straightened out the mess Han Chuang just made He pointed to the activity room in front and said to Yuan Ning, "I'm usually here, and you can come to me at any time. I still have something to do, so you and your friends go to dinner."

Yuan Ning nodded obediently.

Li Yanqiu said: "Go should be practiced as soon as possible. I happened to bring some videos here. You can take them back to watch. They are all games with a relatively good layout. Your overall layout ability is still not good enough. It is best to strengthen it before the official game. one time."

Yuan Ning said, "Good!"

Li Yanqiu walked into the office and took out the video and gave it to Yuan Ning.Yuan Ning went downstairs to find Hao Xiaolan and Song Xingchen. He didn't mention Han Chuang's trouble with Li Yanqiu, but only said that he went to ask Li Yanqiu for advice on Go.Song Xingchen looked tired and didn't say anything.The three went downstairs, and Yuan Ning saw Han Chuang again.

Han Chuang stood impatiently under the locust tree.Seeing Yuan Ning coming down, Han Chuang said gruffly, "Little devil, come here!"

Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan looked at Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning frowned, and said to Song Xingchen and the others, "I'll go and have a word with him."

Han Chuang waited for Yuan Ning to approach, glanced at Song Xingchen and the two, and said, "Don't tell anyone what you overheard just now, if I hear half of it outside, I will definitely not let it go." you!"

Yuan Ning: "..."

Yuan Ning retorted: "I didn't eavesdrop."

Han Chuang said angrily, "Anyway, don't tell anyone about it!"

Yuan Ning nodded.

Han Chuang said: "If you really like that guy, don't let others know, or if it spreads to my grandfather's ears, you will have your skin peeled off!" He threatened Yuan Ning, "With your small body, you will definitely suffer But my grandpa got a belt pump!"

Yuan Ning continued to nod obediently.

Han Chuang waved his hand to let him go quickly.

Yuan Ning ran back to Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan.

"Who is that Ning Ning?" Hao Xiaolan asked, "He looks fierce, he doesn't want to trouble you, does he?"

Before Yuan Ning could answer, Song Xingchen had already announced the other party's name: "Han Chuang."

"Is he Han Chuang?" Hao Xiaolan stared round.

"Is he famous?" Yuan Ning was taken aback for a moment.

"It's quite famous." Song Xingchen glanced at Yuan Ning.Although Yuan Ning has an accident physique and can always encounter accidents of one kind or another, Yuan Ning will be well protected no matter what happens.Yuan Ning doesn't need to worry about many things.Rather than getting to know the various families in the capital, Yuan Ning prefers to know what delicious food is added to each street, and what new seedlings are growing in the forest.They also know Yuan Ning's character very well, so they rarely talk to him about these things.Song Xingchen said, "You should have heard of the Han family in the capital, right? He is the precious grandson of Mr. Han, and a famous bully."

Yuan Ning couldn't help asking: "What about Senior Li?"

"Senior Li is Senior Han's cousin," Song Xingchen paused, "He is also Mr. Han's favorite grandson, the kind of love that is particularly eccentric. So I heard that the relationship between them is not very good." Generally speaking, the elders are eccentric , There will be conflicts among the younger generations—it may be a small conflict when you are young, but it may become a big conflict when you grow up.

Yuan Ning said: "So that's how it is!" Hei Mian said "Grandpa is very powerful", probably referring to the Han family in the capital.That is indeed very powerful, whether it is economically or in other aspects, it can be called top-notch, and it is even better than Zhang's family.Otherwise, Song Xingchen wouldn't call Han Chuang a "little overlord".

To be a "little overlord" in the capital cannot rely solely on horizontality.

The three talked and walked, and they had already reached the cafeteria.Now that he knew Han Chuang's background, Yuan Ning stopped asking more questions and went to have dinner with Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan.Yuan Ning had no class in the afternoon, so he went to the student union with Song Xingchen and the others to help Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan sort out the mountains of materials.Yuan Ning knew at a glance that Song Xingchen had committed the mistake of pursuing perfection again, so he quickly sorted the information into categories and picked out a group of people who needed to be contacted: "Let's talk to these seniors first."

Song Xingchen paused, took the list and looked at it for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay." He looked up at Yuan Ning, "I still don't want to join the student union and plan to work for nothing?"

"Resolutely don't work for nothing!" Yuan Ning laughed, "Give me an application form, and I'll go through the back door!"

"Senior Li?"

"Yes," Yuan Ning said, "We are all members of the Chess Association, so it's easy to go through the back door!"

Song Xingchen had no reason to refuse.He took out an application form for joining the student union and filled in the information for Yuan Ning.

After Yuan Ning finished filling it out, he ran upstairs with Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan to find Li Yanqiu.

Li Yanqiu was not at all surprised by their arrival.Yuan Ning knew Song Xingchen's plight, so he naturally knew it too.Seeing the three of Yuan Ning coming, he said softly, "I'm going down to look for you. Those guys put so many things on the rookies, just because they don't want to get into this muddy water. No matter how you look at it, the Jian Student Appeal Committee is offending people." Why don't I find someone to take over the troublesome work."

Yuan Ning looked at Song Xingchen.

Song Xingchen said: "I'm not afraid of trouble, and I'm not afraid of offending people." This is already a contest between him and Cai Yuankai, how could he withdraw temporarily?

Li Yanqiu looked at Yuan Ning with a smile.

Yuan Ning was not as brave as Song Xingchen. He climbed up the pole without hesitation: "I'm afraid of trouble, and I'm afraid of offending people! Senior Li, you need to find some helpers for us!"

Li Yanqiu was happy, and accepted the application form handed over by Yuan Ning: "Don't worry, you won't be left to fight alone."

Yuan Ning thanked Li Yanqiu and ran away with Song Xingchen and Hao Xiaolan.

Li Yanqiu looked at the application form in his hand and put it on the table.This kid is not what he imagined, soft-hearted, kind, neither competitive nor victorious - such a kid might be gnawed to the bone within a few days when he comes to a place like the capital.He put his hand on his forehead, gently stroking the scar that was no longer obvious.What Grandpa likes most about him is that he is ruthless. If he is ruthless to himself, he will be even more ruthless to others.He has never met someone like Yuan Ning who is soft-hearted towards everyone.

I don't know if this soft heart and kindness will change after four years of training in college?

After three days of class, the holiday came.The night before going home, Yuan Ning went to Yuan Bo's house, gave gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and chatted with the enthusiastic Wu Yinghao about football.Wu Yinghao said that his club will be officially established by the new year at the latest, and asked Yuan Ning for the contact information of Lin Dashi's companions, saying that he would see if they would like to come over then.Yuan Ning happily returned to Zhang Xiuyan's side.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xiuyan carried Yuan Ning and his uncle carried Zhang Xiuwen and Zhang Xiuling on their way home together.It took three or four hours to drive from Zhang Xiuyan's residence to his home. Yuan Ning watched from the side, wanting to talk to Zhang Xiuyan but afraid of disturbing Zhang Xiuyan's driving.After Zhang Xiuyan drove the car into the gas station to refuel, Yuan Ning said: "I will also get a driver's license in the future, and I can take turns driving when I get home."

Zhang Xiuyan said, "Okay."

Yuan Ning looked out, and there was a smell of gasoline in the gas station, which was not very pleasant, and even the wind that blew brought the smell.Not far away is a tourist bus, carrying middle school students out for an autumn outing, all wearing middle school uniforms, with childish faces.Yuan Ning said: "Brother, we haven't been to the ranch together for a long time!"

"I'll go there for the Mid-Autumn Festival," Zhang Xiuyan said, "The whole family will go there to enjoy the moon."

"You can also make your own moon cakes!" Yuan Ning's eyes lit up, "There is everything there, fruits can be picked directly, flour can also be ground freshly, and the surrounding villages have also developed, we can take freshly dried grains Hull it directly, use the rapeseed to squeeze the oil! Luo Yuanliang planted a lot of tea trees on a hillside, maybe he can drink the tea from the pasture!"

Thinking of the tall and thin young man, Zhang Xiuyan said, "Luo Yuanliang and the others have managed the ranch these past few years. You should have given them more dividends, right?"

"Yes!" Yuan Ning blushed, "Brother's also has it, and it has always been stored in my card." The forest was bought by Zhang Xiuyan. Over the years, the pasture has been developing towards the forest, diversifying on the basis of not destroying the forest. Many commercial crops.Every year, Yuan Ning will divide the income into Zhang Xiuyan, but he has never given it to Zhang Xiuyan.Ever since she noticed Zhang Xiuyan's deliberate alienation, Yuan Ning could no longer say "Brother, let's pay back father's money together" as openly as before.

"Put it in your card from now on," Zhang Xiuyan said, "For household use."

household!They seem to have a little home now!Yuan Ning blushed even more.

Uncle Qian also refueled in front of the fuel dispenser next to him.Yuan Ning withdrew his gaze from Zhang Xiuyan, turned to look at Uncle Qian, and suddenly met Zhang Xiuwen's gaze.Yuan Ning was stunned for a moment, tried hard to make his face less hot, and then smiled at Zhang Xiuwen.

Zhang Xiuwen paused, then smiled at him, looked away and continued to talk to Zhang Xiuling.

After returning home, Zhang Xiuyan and Yuan Ning moved the things on the car down one by one, and finally kept some, which were going to be taken to the ranch for Luo Yuanliang, Uncle Cheng and the others.Aunt Shen also came out to help, seeing the four children grow up, she was quite happy.

Yuan Ning finished her work and gave Aunt Shen a big hug.Aunt Shen's hair was still black when he first came, but now it has turned gray.Aunt Shen has worked in the Zhang family for most of her life, which is equivalent to watching all the children of the Zhang family grow up, and they have long been regarded as real relatives.

Seeing Mr. Zhang and Ms. Xue, Yuan Ning felt a little guilty.He didn't put his heart back until he saw Zhang Xiu sitting there as firmly as a mountain.After dinner, Zhang Xiuyan discussed with Ms. Xue about going to the ranch to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ms. Xue naturally agreed very much. In recent years, most of the food at home was brought by the ranch. They all liked the beautiful ranch and the pasture. A rich forest.

At home, Yuan Ning naturally dared not touch Zhang Xiuyan's room at night.He went back to the room and took out the video given by Li Yanqiu and watched it carefully. Gradually, there were only the sounds of falling and occasional commentary in the room.At the end of the round, Yuan Ning came back to his senses and heard chirping insects from downstairs.He ran outside the balcony and saw that the moon was about to become round, and the stars became very dim, silently disappearing in the thin clouds, as if hiding behind the clouds and spying on the world on the ground.

Yuan Ning was looking up at the sky, but heard a click, it was the sound of Zhang Xiuyan's landing being pushed away.Yuan Ning turned his head and saw Zhang Xiuyan coming out of the room.

Countless memories flooded my mind.

Yuan Ning ran over: "Brother!"

Zhang Xiuyan also approached.

Yuan Ning blushed: "Brother, come here a little more."

Zhang Xiuyan stared at Yuan Ning's flushed face.

Yuan Ning tiptoed slightly, pecked Zhang Xiuyan's lips, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Brother, good night!"

Zhang Xiu said with a sullen face, "Good night." After speaking, he also lowered his head slightly, and kissed Yuan Ning on the lips.

Yuan Ning's heart was hot, and his face was also hot, but when he thought that he was at home, he immediately lost his breath like a punctured ball.He ran into the house as if fleeing, buried his head in the quilt and rubbed it back and forth, trying to wipe away the scalding heat.

At this time, someone knocked on his door from outside.
