Do not provoke

He Miao on the side was still dancing and pulling Tang Xingbei to talk about Zhou Nuan finally agreeing to go hiking with him during the summer vacation. She was a little shy but also a little excited, her face was flushed under the streetlight.

Fang Lin watched coldly, and looked away disinterestedly.

"Are you promising?" Tang Xingbei also lazily frowned, "Just agreeing to climb a mountain with you is so happy, if she agrees to fall in love with you one day, you won't be crazy."

He Miao was about to speak excitedly, when she turned around and bumped into someone, he quickly apologized: "Hey, I'm sorry!"

"It's okay." The man lowered his head, put on his crooked glasses, and hurried away with his schoolbag on his back.

He Miao stared at his back thoughtfully: "Isn't this Wannian's second... the third? I always feel that he's been acting weird lately."

Tang Xingbei paused, glanced and looked away.

Just as He Miao was about to speak again, she heard a shout from the door: "He Miao! Xiao Bei!"

It's He Miao's mother.

Hearing this voice, Tang Xingbei's unruly thorns all over his body immediately retracted, the arcs of the corners of his eyes were shallow but extraordinarily sweet, and he stepped forward with his schoolbag on his back: "Wait a long time, auntie."

Fang Lin suddenly glanced at him.

Holding the car keys, He Miao's mother snorted his head with a smile: "Just arrived!"

"Mom!" He Miao called from the side, "What delicious food did you cook today!"

"Nothing at all!" He Miao's mother glared at him, "Just now I saw it on the school gate list! You are a promising kid, right?! How dare you not tell your mother if you fell dozens of times in the monthly exam?!"

He Miao froze immediately, and hid behind Tang Xingbei, shivering.

Tang Xingbei ignored him, turned to look at Fang Lin, hesitated for a while, but was interrupted by him when he was about to speak: "I'll go back first."

Tang Xingbei paused: "Be careful on the road."

"understood."

Fang Lin simply nodded politely at He Miao's mother, then turned around and left.

At the noisy school gate, under the noisy street lamps and lights, his shadow was stretched very long, isolated from the crowd.

"Is this handsome guy your classmate?" He Miao's mother asked thoughtfully.

Tang Xingbei came back to his senses, hurriedly looked away, and got into the car: "Well, I'm at the same table."

He Miao's mother also got into the car, fastened her seat belt and said, "Xiao Bei, you seem to like him a lot, isn't he nice?"

Tang Xingbei was inexplicably flustered, and just as he was about to deny it, He Miao answered carelessly, "I'm a god of learning! Mom, do you know what a god of learning is?! When I just transferred to our school, I took the first exam. Batch!"

He Miao's mother said loudly: "He is that Fang Lin! Ouch, I don't think there is such a brat who got higher than Xiao Bei!"

Tang Xingbei laughed.

"You're talking about someone else!" He Miao's mother glared in the car mirror, "He Miao, wait until you get back and explain to me what happened to the last back step!"

"My dear mother! Let's just celebrate Xiaoyan's entrance into the attached high school, can't we!"

……

The room was very dark, Fang Lin fumbled to turn on the light, stood silently at the door for a while, changed his shoes, went in and closed the door.

He walked to the refrigerator, opened it and looked at it. They were all snacks bought a few days ago.

When high school is growing up, people eat a lot and get hungry quickly. Generally, parents will set aside some meals for children to warm up after school.

But the two of them didn't have such a condition, so they took advantage of the weekend to go to the supermarket together to buy snacks, and waited until they came back at night to make up for it.

But Fang Lin suddenly lost his appetite today.

The cold air from the storage compartment rushed up, he exhaled slowly, turned off the refrigerator, turned and went upstairs.

It was almost eleven o'clock after the extra meal, and in the living room, Mama He was still lecturing on He Miao's concealment of her grades.

He Miao begged for mercy listlessly: "Okay, okay, I know I made a mistake, Sister Wang~ I will definitely not do it next time..."

"Brother Bei, this is the English anthology I borrowed from you before." He Yan held a glass of milk and handed over the book.

Tang Xingbei took it over, stuffed it into the schoolbag casually, and looked up at him: "Is there a summer camp for the first class of the attached high school this year?"

"Yes." He Yan handed him the milk again, and then he casually pulled a chair and sat down, "But I don't want to go."

Tang Xingbei raised his eyebrows while holding the milk: "Why?"

He Yan replied coldly: "It's boring, I might as well study at home when I have time."

Tang Xingbei leaned on the sofa and took a sip of milk, thought for a while, and nodded in agreement: "It's really boring."

He Yan laughed.

He looks a bit like He Miao, fair and clean, but his facial features are much sharper than his brother's, but he still looks a little childish when he smiles.

Tang Xingbei watched him grow up, and with the matter of congratulating his father before, He Yan also regarded him as his own brother: "Listen to my brother, are you living with someone else now?"

When Tang Xingbei heard the last two words suddenly, he almost sprayed milk on his head, choked and coughed for a long time, and frowned: "...fuck!"

He Yan laughed and reached out to pat him on the back: "So excited, is it a man or a woman?"

It's probably because the personalities of the two are somewhat similar. He Yan has never been afraid of Tang Xingbei since he was a child, and sometimes he is even willing to talk to him: "Could it be that you have a girlfriend?"

Tang Xingbei slapped his arm away and put down the milk: "Girlfriend shit, boyfriend!"

He Yan seemed to be taken aback for a moment, put his hands in his pockets, hooked the chair with one foot and pulled it over to sit down, then paused: "Really?"

Tang Xingbei kicked him away angrily: "Fake!"

"I'll just say..." He Yan muttered something, but couldn't catch it.

Tang Xingbei didn't bother to answer his fuss, he just raised his chin toward the door: "Aren't you going to save your brother?"

"Save me." He Yan looked disgusted, but got up and walked out the door, "I'm going to die myself."

Someone interrupted, and Mama He finally stopped her offensive, and kicked He Miao's ass with a glare, "Next time, if you dare to hide your grades, I will beat you to death!"

He Miao covered her butt and hid behind Congratulations: "Hey, hey, I got it, I got it!"

"If you know shit, you know how to play games every day!"

……

Holding the milk cup, Tang Xingbei rested his arms on the back of the chair and walked over to the bedroom door. Watching them bickering and laughing in the living room, he suddenly felt a little lonely.

Then Fang Lin suddenly remembered for no reason.

"What are you laughing at, Brother Bei?" He Miao sat down on the bed after entering the door, and drank water on his stomach.

Tang Xingbei was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized it, he quickly curled up the corners of his mouth and froze for a while.

"Xiaobei!" Mother He called him in the living room, "Don't leave today, just live with Xiaoyan and the others!"

As she spoke, she went to ask He Yan to make up the bed.

"No need, Auntie." Tang Xingbei rolled his eyes and came out with his schoolbag on his back, "There is still someone waiting for me at home."
