Professor, your turtle!

Until returning home, Chen Zhen's words were still echoing in Ji Fan's mind.

——His future is much more important than my past.

Did another "Ji Fan" think the same way when he sent the pet egg back then?

But, can a person like himself really meet his expectations?Ji Fan slowly clenched his fists, can he really live for himself as "I" hoped?

For the past 18 years, he has lived so cowardly.It's just a pet egg, can it really change everything?

Ji Fan couldn't answer, maybe even the other Ji Fan couldn't be sure.

The house was dark, and there was no one there.

On the refrigerator, Chen Youqing left a note, saying that he was going back to school for a week, and asked him to take care of himself.

The tone is, as usual, stylized.When I opened the refrigerator, it was empty, there was no food left, only a few eggs and a bag of dumplings.

Ji Fan peeled off the note and slowly kneaded it into a ball.

He sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, hesitated for a long time, took out his phone and pressed a name he was all too familiar with.

The bell rang twice before it was answered, and there was a faint sound of water coming from the opposite side, which seemed to be in the bathroom.

"Hello?" Fu Mingyuan keenly sensed something was wrong, "Ji Fan?"

"Ji Fan? What's wrong with you?"

Hearing his voice, Ji Fan lowered his eyelashes and laughed silently.

"It's nothing." He lay on his back on the bed, raised his hand to cover his eyes, "I just miss you a little bit."

Through the screen, it seems that even boring love stories have become a particularly easy task.

Fu Mingyuan didn't answer, but his breathing became obviously heavier.

It's great, Ji Fan thought, there is still such a person in the world who can cling to him unscrupulously and act like a baby.

It's like a single migratory bird, flying alone for a long time, and finally found an oasis where it can inhabit.

"What are you talking about, are you home alone again?"

"……Um."

——I really can’t hide anything from the person opposite.

Ji Fan turned over with his arms propped up, suddenly a little mischievous, "What about you sir, do you miss me?"

Fu Mingyuan "..."

After a while, he coughed dryly, "What time is it? You have to go to school tomorrow, so go to bed quickly."

Ji Fan raised his eyebrows, pretending to be disappointed, "...do you really miss me at all?"

Fu Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said, "...a little bit."

Covered by the quilt, Ji Fan tried his best not to laugh too loudly.

Fu Mingyuan sounded a little annoyed, "Don't make trouble. If you are naughty again, I will... I will..."

"Hmm, Mr. Fu?" Ji Fan poked his head out a little bit, aggressively, "Why, are you going to 'punish' me again?"

Fu Mingyuan sneered, "If you make trouble again, you will die every day."

Ji Fan "..." He was stunned for a second, and then his whole face flushed red, and the earlobes leaking out of the quilt were even red enough to bleed.

"Sleep, good night. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow." Fu Mingyuan finished speaking in one breath, and hung up the phone neatly.

Ji Fan buried his face in the quilt, and after a while, he threw the phone aside in annoyance.

——To win against the old fox, this little vixen still needs more than ten years of cultivation.

Just because of those three words, a mushroom cloud exploded in Ji Fan's head, and he tossed and turned for a long time, unable to fall asleep at all.

He got up and turned on the desk lamp, wanting to take out the exercises for the day and review them.Unexpectedly, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find that thin booklet.

Oh yes... He belatedly recalled that he hadn't seen him in the office this afternoon.Old Xu said that someone probably took it by mistake, and asked him to pick it up tomorrow.

Too many things happened in one night, and he actually forgot.

So Ji Fan turned off the light again and climbed onto the bed, staring at the empty ceiling.

He slept very restlessly that night. In his dream, countless Q version villains with Fu Mingyuan's face held hands, surrounded him expressionlessly, and sang "Planting the Sun" in unison.

When he was woken up by the phone ringing, his bones were sore, as if he had been beaten with a sack.

The sky was dark, and there was a faint sound of ticking rain outside the window. He took out his mobile phone in a daze, but was completely startled awake by the time displayed on it.

0436

what happened?Calling so late, who could it be?

He rubbed his eyes and looked intently, only to see that the incoming call had no name, but a long string of unfamiliar numbers, which looked like a public phone.

Ji Fan felt a little nervous, hesitated for a moment, and then picked it up slowly.

"……Hey?"

There was no answer from the other side, only the sound of shallow breathing.

Ji Fan shuddered, subconsciously wrapped the quilt tightly, and boldly asked again, "Who is it?"

The signal is not good, and there is a buzzing sound from the receiver.

After a long time, the other party finally spoke, a hoarse female voice.

"……help me."

Ji Fan was so frightened that he threw his phone to the ground on the spot.

Unfortunately, his fingers accidentally touched the hands-free button, and the faint female voice instantly rang through the room.

"Please help me...Ji Fan..."

In the dark room, the screen of the mobile phone was lit with a faint green light, and there was a voice that was not known to be a person or a ghost calling for help, and even named his name.

Ji Fan's hair stood on his head, his whole body was stiff, his teeth were chattering, "You, you..."

"...It's me," the man paused, then said softly, "I, Zhao An."

Now the signal is better, the sound of the current has weakened, and it is indeed Zhao An's voice that can be heard.Ji Fan breathed a sigh of relief, crawled out of the bed with cold hands and feet, turned on the desk lamp, and picked up the poor cell phone again.

He was a little surprised, he never thought that Zhao An would find him, he always thought that he was probably the person she hated the most.

——He didn't even know that the other party even knew his phone number.

"Zhao An? What happened to you?"

There was silence on the other side for a while, "...I got hurt a little, and I have nowhere to go."

Zhao An sounded like he had caught a cold, his voice was trembling, and a little fluttering, "I'm really sorry to disturb you so late, I..."

"Where are you?"

"There's a phone booth outside Chengnan New Village," she hesitated for a moment, then begged softly, "I beg you, can... can you not tell the teacher?"

"I see," Given paused, "Then can you stand up now?"

"It should be possible..." Zhao An took a few breaths, and stood up, probably leaning on the glass, "But the last bus has stopped, there are no taxis near my house, and I don't have a mobile phone with me."

"Just sit where you are and rest for a while, I'll be over soon." Ji Fan hurriedly put on his coat, "I heard that the southern part of the city is quite chaotic, please be careful."

"Hmm..." She had tried her best to lower her voice, but still let out a sob, "Thank you, I..."

"I'm sorry, let's save it until we meet." Ji Fan interrupted her, "See you later."

Zhao An paused, then whispered, "...see you later."

When Ji Fan hung up the phone, his first reaction was to tell Mr. Fu, but on second thought, he really didn't want to expose their relationship in front of Zhao An.

After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively composed a text message.

"……have you slept?"

A few minutes later, Chen Zhen's message came back, "Just woke up."

"Is the car at home? I have a little favor to ask you."

Chen Zhen has always been a man of action, so he quickly drove to the gate of Ji Fan's courtyard without even asking why.

"Hey, aren't you curious?"

Chen Zhen stepped on the accelerator and glanced at him, "Seat belt."

Ji Fan hurriedly fastened his seat belt, only to hear Chen Zhen say calmly, "What else can teenagers do if they stay outside in the middle of the night? It's nothing more than a conflict with the family."

Ji Fan "..." Really.

"Why, don't you call your iron buddy for help?"

Ji Fan was helpless, "He won't wake up even if the sky falls when he sleeps, and he has always hated Zhao An so much..."

"I thought you hated her too?"

"...Mmm." Ji Fan lowered his head, "I don't really like it."

"Oh, you still want to help her?" Chen Zhen sneered, "So kind."

"It's not really helping him, it's just..." Ji Fan couldn't explain clearly, and frowned slightly.

——The moment he received the call just now, he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation, as if the child who was kicked out of the house and wandered in the rain late at night was himself.

If it were him... he would definitely hope that someone could help him, right?Anyone is fine.

Thinking of it this way, his heart couldn't be hardened.

Chen Zhen glanced at him sideways, then shook his head, "Tsk, it's probably because you are such a person that we met."

"Ok?"

"It was also a rainy day, I huddled in the alley at the back door of T University, and you were just passing by..." Chen Zhen raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Okay, it's my fault, I shouldn't have laughed at you just now. "

Just as they were talking, the two had already turned into a small road near Chengnan New Village.

The street lights were dim, and Chen Zhen slowed down.Ji Fan squinted his eyes and looked around for a long time before he found the phone booth that Zhao An mentioned.

Until getting very close, Ji Fan finally saw a small figure curled up inside.

Zhao An was drenched all over, leaning softly against the glass door, as if he had lost consciousness.

The sound of pushing the door woke her up. She opened her eyes suddenly, shrank back greatly, hugged her arms tightly, and her face was full of horror.

"Shh, don't be afraid, it's me." Ji Fan took off his hood, squatted down and said, "Are you okay?"

Zhao An's eyeballs rolled around and slowly landed on him. After a long time, a gleam of brilliance appeared in his dull eyes again.

"Zhao An?"

Hearing her name, her lips trembled, and she made a childish cry.

Ji Fan sighed and slowed down his speech, "Can you stand up? I'll help you up..."

Zhao An nodded, covered his mouth with one hand, held Ji Fan's arm with the other hand, and slowly and staggered up from the ground.

She was still wearing her school uniform for the day, and her schoolbag was thrown on the ground carelessly, and the books inside were all soaked.

Ji Fan bent down to help her pick it up, and suddenly a thin exercise book slipped out from the loose buckle.He picked it up and saw that it was his exercise book.

"I... I accidentally took the wrong notebook." Zhao An lowered his head and squeezed the seam of his trousers uneasily. "I left your phone number in it. I really didn't mean it. Me, my phone was taken away." , the address book is stored in it..."

"It's okay, what about Liu Ming, why don't you look for him?"

Zhao An said hoarsely, "I called, but he didn't answer. I also remember the phone number from my uncle's house, but it was my aunt who answered it..."

When it comes to the tough wife of the dean, it goes without saying that he knows what happened.

The two were silent for a while, and Zhao An concluded, "So only you are left..."

"Next time you encounter such a situation," Ji Fan interrupted her and said solemnly, "You can still choose to call the police."

Zhao An "..."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"For the first time, I discovered that you are a very interesting person."

"Don't, don't praise me, I don't want to be pushed down by Liu Ming again."

Bringing up the past, Zhao An's pale face showed a touch of blood, "...I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the things in the past. I was very jealous of you at that time, and I don't know what happened to me..."

"Stop talking, I don't accept it." Ji Fan interrupted her.

She opened her mouth blankly, the remaining blood on her face faded again, and her complexion became pale.

"It doesn't make sense for you to apologize, so I must accept it, right?" Ji Fan paused, and reluctantly said, "Let's see how you behave in the future."

Zhao An froze for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Hey, how long are you guys going to chat?" Chen Zhen finished smoking a cigarette and patted the roof of the car impatiently.

"That's my friend, not a teacher, it's okay."

"...Oh." Zhao An moved into the car step by step, lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Chen Zhen was not polite, and gave her a blank look in the rearview mirror, "You should thank him."

Zhao An's face turned red again, and he whispered, "Thank you, Ji Fan."

Ji Fan shrugged and said nothing.

There was an awkward silence in the car. Chen Zhen turned the steering wheel and drove straight to Ji's house in less than half an hour.

"What are you going to do now?" Chen Zhen handed Ji Fan a cup of tea, and pouted towards the bathroom.
