Long grass warbler flying

Ji Xiao didn't know what Chu Lan was up to. When Chu Lan arrived at the KTV they continued to share, Ji Xiao was arguing with Jiang Xinghe. Slightly drunk.

"Alan, you are here!" Ji Xiao pinned Jiang Xinghe's head and threw him onto the sofa next to him.

The other party nodded. He was uncharacteristically noble and glamorous. The corners of his raised lips widened, showing a not-so-obvious polite smile: "You all ate and drank well just now, aren't you going crazy now?"

Ji Xiao moved a pile of sundries away, and made room for Chu Lan on the crowded sofa in the box.He sat down unceremoniously, his eyes glanced coldly at the group of demons dancing wildly, and there was a bit of disdain on his face.

Ji Xiao sat next to him and poured a glass of juice: "Finally graduated, this group of top students has been suppressed for too long - don't be bitter, the time to get together will be less and less in the future."

...Maybe this will be the last time.

Ji Xiao thought so, but he didn't say it.

Chu Lan withdrew her gaze when she heard this, and stared at the glass in front of her wholeheartedly.The orange juice swayed in circles with the music turned up to the loudest. He seemed to be meditating, turning a deaf ear to the tragic car accident scene in the noisy environment. Ji Xiao didn't dare to look at him openly, just playing cell phone.

The small corner they stayed in seemed awkwardly isolated from the world, and Zhai Xinen saw this scene when he came over.

She yawned indifferently: "You two are really two wonderful flowers that are independent of the world, why don't you join in the fun? They will still play games later, and the loser will drink."

Chu Lan said calmly, "I don't drink outside."

The voice was a bit loud, and several people around heard it. They cast puzzled eyes, and Ji Xiao waved his hand, raising the decibel: "Chu Lan is still more than a month away from adulthood, play on your own!"

This immediately caused a burst of laughter, and Chu Lan herself felt a little hot.It was only then that Zhai Xinen remembered that Chu Lan seemed to be younger than many people in the class, but he was usually serious and kept away from strangers, so it was easy for people to forget the facts, and it was completely unexpected that this rather stable person in front of him was still a minor.

The boys headed by Zhou Yang didn't think it was enough to cause trouble, so they rushed away Ji Xiao: "Chu Lan doesn't drink, so hurry up and come if you're full—"

Ji Xiao was powerless to resist, his voice was almost drowned in the thundering music accompaniment: "Alan, save me!"

Zhai Xinen looked at Chu Lan with a hint of a smile, and the corners of his raised mouth slowly collapsed.I saw that Chu Lan didn't fluctuate at all, and sat quietly where she was, as if she didn't hear Ji Xiao's call for help at all.

She had a bad intuition in her heart, so she went over and poked Chu Lan's hand: "Will you die?"

Chu Lan smiled at her very politely: "There is no obligation."

Di Xinen: "...Alan, they really want to drink, Axiao can't drink anymore."

Chu Lan leisurely took out his mobile phone, maybe others didn't see that his fingers were actually trembling: "Well, it's a big deal to send him to the car later. I can't drink much, Zhou Yang talked lively."

Seeing him so calm, Zhai Xinen only felt that it was a blow to his head, and first felt the feeling of pouring ice water on his head in the cold winter months for Ji Xiao.She was bewildered, and felt that she was sitting or walking, and she stayed on the sofa stiffly, Rumang thought behind her back, "Chu Lan is...why did he suddenly change his attitude so quickly?"

Isn't it just that the college entrance examination is over? It's only been so long, how come his attitude towards Ji Xiao has changed from the number one best friend to a stranger who has nothing to do with him?

How many tricks can a high school student have?Arranging back and forth is still one of the few childish games, Chu Lan watched coldly, only thinking that they were all sick.

His attention fell on Ji Xiao involuntarily.Ji Xiao's eyes look like crescent moons when he smiles, bending into long and thin lines, looking sincere and genuinely happy, very deceptive.Chu Lan frowned, thinking that no one could tell whether he was pretending or not. Everyone said he was good, but did he really mean it?

He thought wildly, and couldn't help but dislike himself.

After nine o'clock, some girls withdrew early, and the private room was still bustling with excitement.Chu Lan looked at her watch, feeling bored, and wanted to leave early, but when she reached the door, she was caught off guard by her shoulder.

"Chu Lan can't leave!" Zhou Yang dragged him back into the crowd, "At least leave after listening to this question—your best friend has been recruited, so let's see what happens to him no matter what!"

Chu Lan raised her eyebrows, broke away his hand, and immediately sat down in the middle of the arena.He didn't have time to think about why everyone else recognized Ji Xiao as his "best friend", but he didn't think there was anything wrong.

The previous game was just truth or dare, and I don't know if Ji Xiao can't play games or what, his face was flushed red.Few youngsters at this age can drink, just youth can be a good time to toss.Seeing him sitting beside him with heavy eyelids and propping his forehead, Chu Lan heard a "click" in his head for no reason.

It's like stepping on a sharp pebble suddenly, and it hurts even through the sole of the shoe.

Zhou Yang was still very proud of Ji Xiao's current appearance, rolled up the drink list and brought it to his mouth: "Ji Xiao, don't pretend to be dead, I would rather drink than tell the truth, how can I be so perfunctory! This time I have to take a big risk!"

Next to him, Jiang Xinghe was quite drunk, and happily coaxed: "Big adventure, big adventure!"

Chu Lan glanced at him, the thorns all over her body were about to stand up, she just felt a splitting headache, and her heart was full of bad premonitions.He stood up to leave, but was suddenly pulled down by someone.

"... Whatever you want." Ji Xiao propped himself up against the wall and stood firm, his face blushing all the way to the ears in the air-conditioned box.

Zhou Yang seemed to have won some kind of death-free gold medal because of his vague answer, and immediately put all the lots in front of him: "Draw one, draw quickly, don't hesitate!"

Ji Xiao frowned, touched one casually, and handed it to him to open.

Zhou Yang: "Wow——"

Jiang Xinghe: "What what?"

Zhou Yang: "Ji Xiao, answer honestly first, is there anyone you like?"

Ji Xiao rubbed his temples, tried to wake himself up, half-closed his eyes and taunted him: "You don't care who I like, I don't like your goddess anyway...does it have anything to do with the big adventure?"

"Of course it does," Zhou Yang smirked and unfolded the note in full view, "You picked 'Confession'."

Now that Ji Xiao was mostly sober, he took the note in disbelief, unfolded it and crumpled it, read it carefully many times, his eyes were filled with shock.He suddenly didn't know how to move his hands and feet, and when he raised his head to meet Jiang Xinghe's playful gaze, he instinctively wanted to look at Chu Lan, but he pinched his palms halfway to restrain himself.

His eyes flickered, and he licked his lips again. He couldn't be more nervous. Zhou Yang didn't expect that his words would come true, and he had received such a big surprise. He said in disbelief: "There really is?! A great opportunity, Ji Xiao, don't waste it!" !"

All around is obviously also very concerned about Ji Xiao's relationship status - the boy who was gentle with everyone for three years in high school actually has a lover hidden in his heart, this gossip can be called the explosiveness of Jiang Xinghe's coming out of the closet.

The days of classmates are not long or short, Ji Xiao has a good relationship with classmate, the girls regard him as the central air conditioner, and their crush on him dies early, thinking that this person will never understand the style; , I am even more curious about what kind of person Ji Xiao likes.

For a moment, only the background music was left in the private room, and Jay Chou was still singing dutifully: "Once upon a time, there was a person who loved you for a long time, but the wind gradually blows the distance away..."

Chu Lan suddenly stood up, grabbed Ji Xiao's arm, and said decisively: "He's lost his mind, I'll take him to sober up, if you want to make a phone call or watch the fun in person, we'll talk about it later. "

Zhou Yang was cut off by Chu Lan and had no time to react, so he nodded subconsciously, allowing Chu Lan to directly grab Ji Xiao to the bathroom that came with the box, and then slammed the door shut. Make a loud "pop".Zhou Yang trembled all over, and looked at Jiang Xinghe with concern: "I, did I say the wrong thing?"

Most of Jiang Xinghe's drunkenness subsided, he took a sip of water, stared at the door, a little light flashed in Taohua's eyes: "Old Zhou, Ji Xiao's life's happiness depends on you."

After hearing his nonsense and unclear words, Zhou Yang showed a black question mark face, only then did he realize that he had been calling Jiang Xinghe brothers and sisters all this time, and his expression was so exciting that even Ji Xiao forgot to care.

The decoration style of the bathroom in the private room is very popular with local tyrants, and it is full of gold. As soon as Chu Lanfu entered, his eyes hurt from the flash, and then he couldn't help closing his eyes.

Ji Xiao knew he was ashamed, sat beside him, and buried his face in his palms.

His heart was in a state of chaos, but his hands and feet seemed to be rusted, and his brain was dulled by excessive alcohol intake.Chu Lan sat down next to him, and when she silently handed over a bottle of water, Ji Xiao even forgot to pick it up.

"Sober up." Chu Lan's voice was still so calm, as if he wasn't the one who pulled Ji Xiao up and slammed the door out just now. Okay, I won't really cheat you, what about in the future? You can't drink too much."

Ji Xiao counted three cups down, and what Chu Lan said was reasonable, he listened to it, and gave a vague "hmm".

But no matter how delirious he is now, he still feels that Chu Lan is a little abnormal.The usual Chu Lan wouldn't talk so much about the truth, the only time he kept making a fuss was when he was flustered, such as that time when Ji Xiao confessed his sexual orientation in front of him.

Ji Xiao took a sip of the ice water, which immediately chilled his heart.

"What did you mean just now?" He raised his eyelids and asked Chu Lan weakly, "Why are you panicking?"

It was really because of drinking, even if Ji Xiao was given a hundred daring hearts, he wouldn't talk to Chu Lan like this.Sure enough, Chu Lan was stunned by the overly aggressive tone, and he murmured, "What... what did I do?"

Ji Xiao supported his knees with one hand and held his chin, trying his best to maintain a ridiculous balance: "Didn't they ask me to take a big risk, why did you react so strongly?"

Chu Lan: "..."

Ji Xiao: "Are you afraid that I will be embarrassed? Or are you afraid that I will really confess?"

Chu Lan straightened up suddenly, her hair almost exploded, and she reached out to pull Ji Xiao: "You drink too much, you can't speak clearly, so slap your face."

Ji Xiao followed him, and really stood up straight against the wall of the bathroom.He felt dizzy for a while, the grotesque world in the box, the faint singing voice, and the dazzling flash reflected in the mirror all made him feel uncomfortable, and there were two breaths in his heart repeatedly stuck together, while making him annoyed and irritable, While making him uneasy.

It was indeed a sweet torment, but seeing Chu Lan's attitude, Ji Xiao also knew why he was acting abnormally today - this person has been avoiding him since the college entrance examination, and it is estimated that he will end a certain tacit wish, but he has been I can't open my mouth.

The resolutions he had made secretly before, including the vow he made two years ago "I will confess when he breaks up", all surged at this moment. Ji Xiao watched Chu Lan hesitate to speak, but in the end, emotion prevailed.He has suppressed it for too long, if he has reached the present field and still hides his enthusiasm to be slaughtered by Chu Lan, is he still Ji Xiao?

Although Ji Xiao doesn't like to be straightforward and embarrass others, he also absolutely doesn't like to procrastinate.His eyes lingered around Chu Lan, and finally put an end to Chu Lan's hesitation.

Ji Xiao said abruptly: "Chu Lan..."

The voice was as soft as a whisper, but Chu Lan took a step back suddenly, like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "What are you doing?"

Ji Xiao really wanted to take the opportunity to touch his hair—he hadn’t touched it seriously yet—but he only turned on the faucet with his raised hand, and wiped his face when it got wet, as if he was briefly awake It can make him remember all the feelings he will have next.

"You already knew that," Ji Xiao said calmly, "I've always liked you."

I have seen such descriptions countless times in books before: "It seems that time is standing still at this moment", "The world is silent".Chu Lan once thought, what is this kind of sensory experience that goes against science?If at that time he knew that the first time he had this perception in his life was the scene of being confessed by a friend, how would he feel?

Chu Lan's hands and feet were cold.He made up his mind to break up with Ji Xiao, but no matter what, he couldn't find an opportunity to speak up. The thoughts he was desperately suppressing now were confirmed by Ji Xiao, and he should refuse.

He couldn't help looking at Ji Xiao, those eyes that were always full of tenderness and patience were still familiar.

Chu Lan only felt that his limbs were weak, but he stood firmly and tried his best to organize his thoughts, trying to grasp a fulcrum from the vain feeling that he could not reach the sky or descend to the ground.He reached out to support the wall and bit the tip of his tongue.

Then Chu Lan heard his voice drop to the freezing point, and tried his best to hide his trembling—since he was sensible, his parents had repeatedly taught him to be a man with a three-point margin, but he had never said such a serious word to others.

It seemed that only with a ruthless hand could his guilty conscience and hesitation be less obvious.

"Ji Xiao, it's impossible, give up."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Lan didn't have time to observe what kind of expression Ji Xiao could have, so she rushed out the door immediately.

He ended up with an expected ending, but he never thought about the scene if Chu Lan agreed immediately.Ji Xiao stood in front of the sink for a long time, then splashed water on his face again, making his whole body in a mess, then raised his head and looked into the mirror.

Extremely embarrassed, his face flushed abnormally after drinking, but Ji Xiao just looked at it and sighed.

The eyes were sore for a long time, something was blocked and urgently needed to vent, Ji Xiao couldn't help reaching out to rub it, but suddenly a stream of tears fell down, as if a dam had burst.Ji Xiao didn't say a word, letting them drip quietly down his cheeks.After a long time, he hastily turned up the faucet to the maximum, so as to cover up his soft sobs.

Even if he had thought about it long ago, he shouldn't have expected it... But he was still sad, as if he had sent a heart out of thin air, but Chu Lan threw it on the ground hard, rolled in the mud, and when he picked it up again, it was already dead. He was bruised all over.

When Ji Xiao went out from the bathroom, it looked as if nothing happened just now.

He sat next to Jiang Xinghe, and asked with his usual expression, "Chu Lan has gone back?"

As one of the few insiders, Jiang Xinghe guessed Chu Lan's reaction just now, and carefully looked at his red eyes: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Ji Xiao said quickly, and then repeated it, firmly, as if comforting himself, "I'm okay."

The author has something to say:

Easter egg 1:

When they went out to play together, Fan Fan wore a ball head.

Ji Xiao: Why did you suddenly tie your hair today?

Chu Lan: It's because we are afraid that we will find out that she hasn't washed her hair.
