Long grass warbler flying

That being said, it is still a fantasy for Chu Lan to confess.Ever since he was born, the word "active" has never been in his dictionary. After returning to Jincheng from Yundai Mountain, Chu Lan still stayed at home and pretended to be dead. Go out and find someone to play with.

Fan Fan asked him, and Chu Lan swore that he had already expressed his opinion to Ji Xiao, but he didn't know why Ji Xiao still didn't take the initiative to come to him.From the age of six to the present, Fan Fan was tricked countless times by him. She knew this man's virtues like the back of her hand, and Fan Fan didn't believe a word of his "statement", so she turned her head and asked Ji Xiao directly.

"Has he ever whispered to you like that? For example, he is still interested in you?"

Ji Xiao thought that Fan Fan was concerned about their progress, and after recalling the three days and two nights journey, he said with a dazed expression: "No... I'm still thinking of a reason to see him..."

Fan Fan was speechless, she didn't know that "the moonlight is beautiful", she believed in Ji Xiao's words, and decided that Chu Lan was fooling her again.It was very uncomfortable to be caught between two people, with a mouth full of dog food and nowhere to vent, Fan Fan was so angry that he kicked over the dog bowl, and simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, letting the two idiots quarrel.

But she dutifully reminded Chu Lan: "You read books at home, why don't you go to the place where Ji Xiao works?"

Ji Xiao is still working part-time, and he has arranged it until the end of the summer vacation, and he has earned a lot of pocket money. If he saves money, he can at least be independent for a while.His tuition fee was also given by Qiu Zhijun's favor, and the cost of Ji Xiao in a first-tier city like Shanghai was not counted for the time being, so he swallowed his anger and eagerly waited for one day to be liberated.

Liberation is nothing more than moving out to live on your own, being financially independent, and not having to be treated coldly by your stepfather. It is indeed a long way to go.

His concept of "family" is indifferent to the point of indifference, anyone who hears it will feel that Ji Xiao is impersonal.And he is a gentle person, and the contradiction between the two sides does not appear to be opposed to him, so that no matter the teacher or the classmates, when they first heard about his family experience, they couldn't help being surprised.

Ji Xiao is an exceptionally good boy, well-behaved, but inhumanly cold-blooded.

Later, Chu Lan occasionally patronizes the dessert shop where Ji Xiao works part-time.

With his habits from high school—a tome like a brick and a thin coil notebook—he settled in a well-lit single seat and sat for the whole afternoon.Chu Lan orders a cup of coffee or milk tea, reads her book regardless of world affairs, and occasionally chats when Ji Xiao passes by.

He has been here for a long time, and the other waiters in the dessert shop also know this handsome boy, and they deeply enjoy molesting the relationship between Ji Xiao and the two of them.

"Ji Xiao, Chu Lan is here!" The waiter sister who was cleaning the table shouted to the back of the production table.

The man wearing an apron came out quickly, and the dessert shop was rarely idle at this time. When Chu Lanfu saw him, he showed a gentle smile and nodded to Ji Xiao: "It's still the same."

He sent the snow top coffee over, and said specifically: "Today they taught me how to make it, to test the poison for you."

Chu Lan hesitated for a moment when he picked up the cup, his eyelids lifted slightly, and he smiled half-smile: "Okay, I'll be the first person to eat crabs - I heard from Xin En, don't you know how to cook? "

Ji Xiao sat down opposite him, resting his chin on one hand, staring at Chu Lan wantonly: "Yes, I know a lot, and I can make home-cooked dishes as long as I give you a recipe. I'm still learning pastry, and I'll buy an oven later. , it shouldn’t be a big problem. But the best thing to do is breakfast, Chinese and Western styles are fine.”

He is so precious that he can't wait to stuff the hidden meaning of the phrase "after you follow me, you will be popular and spicy" into Chu Lan's arms, and throw out his trump card: "I can learn what you want to eat."

Chu Lan reservedly put forward her opinion: "The rice noodles at the front gate of the school, add more fried eggs."

Ji Xiao choked up: "That...it's still a bit difficult, they can't make exactly the same with their unique craftsmanship." After receiving Chu Lan's teasing, Ji Xiao quickly added: "But I can buy it for you in the morning with a thermos. .”

Chu Lan took a while to swallow her coffee, and said slowly, "No, my house is half an hour away by bus."

You come and go, it's purely to test each other, don't mention how naive the rank is, if other people are present, they will probably be annoyed by these two Tai Chi.Ji Xiao pointed at the tabletop: "Then... I'll go to work first, you're playing around, call me if you need anything."

Chu Lan: "Bring me coffee?"

His expression was innocent and innocent, and his tone was natural and sincere, Ji Xiao couldn't say "no" halfway, of course he agreed.He returned to the production station and helped the senior who made the coffee wipe the cups.The senior sister watched the play for a few days, saw the delicate relationship between Ji Xiao and Chu Lan, and finally couldn't suppress her curiosity: "Who is that you?"

Ji Xiao lowered his eyes: "Good friend."

The senior saw that he was not being honest, so he could only hand the cup to him with a smile: "A good friend can visit you at a fixed time every day? Why don't you go to the library to read? Just tell the truth, Ah Xiao, is that your partner? "

Ji Xiao's lively mind jumped to a peak because of this sentence, he shook his head, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be held back.

"Keep pretending!" The senior glared at him, "Send this to the back."

In the past, Chu Lan's schedule usually left after four o'clock. The quiet and beautiful boy sat by the window, and the picture had to be said to be pleasing to the eye.He came regularly, and even attracted several little girls who watched the fun. Every day, he went to the dessert shop without shame, and sat at the table next to Chu Lan, looking at him while playing with his mobile phone.

This day was no exception, the two little girls came stepping forward, and only when they saw him before entering the shop did they feel relieved to patronize.

Ji Xiao's radar was beeping, and he was paying attention all the time.When one of the little girls approached Chu Lan to speak, his siren blared sharply, and Ji Xiao could hardly pretend not to care anymore.

Chu Lan is very polite to outsiders, showing a little alienation in his politeness, but given that this person has such a good appearance, people can always forgive him for ignoring his love.He said a few words to the little girl, and the other girl sat back in her seat with a face full of frustration, and her companion excitedly stepped forward to ask, but only received an extremely depressed response.

Ji Xiao couldn't hold back anymore, pressed a banknote to the cashier: "I'll treat my friend to a pudding."

Then he brought out the pudding with ease, poured caramel on it, walked quickly to Chu Lan, and asked grandly: "The charm is still the same as before, and there are mad bees and butterflies everywhere—please eat."

Chu Lan dug out a piece of pudding with a spoon and nodded, "She asked me for a phone number, but I didn't give it to her...and I don't know her."

Ji Xiao's careful thinking was fully exposed, but Chu Lan waited for him to be defeated first.The two of them looked at each other suspiciously for a moment, and Ji Xiao sat down across from Chu Lan, lowering his voice—he relied on the back door opened by Fan Fan, and he was confident that Chu Lan would poke his sore spot again: "Let's discuss it."

Chu Lan bit the small iron spoon, expressing that she was all ears.

"I was timid before..." Ji Xiao couldn't help blinking quickly, confessing his nervousness, "Could it be because I've had a crush on you for so long... During this time, don't give others a chance?"

Chu Lan raised an eyebrow strangely: "If you don't give it to others, will you give it to you?"

Ji Xiao didn't expect him to be so direct, and the prepared manuscript immediately became nonsense. He picked at the edge of the tablecloth, smiled cautiously and flatteringly, and was as direct as Chu Lan: "Is it okay?"

"..." Chu Lan sized him up with disgust in his gaze and expression, and Ji Xiao's self-confidence suddenly shattered to pieces. He just wanted to turn back the time by 1 minute, and then stop asking for trouble.He thought quickly in his heart how to end it without embarrassment, and subconsciously pursed his lips, feeling like a mentally handicapped person who couldn't speak.

It was about tens of millions of years long, Chu Lan sighed: "I will go to school to report in two days."

Ji Xiao: "Ah...ah?"

Chu Lan: "Aren't you good at cooking? There is no one in my house at night, and I am worried that I can't find food to eat. How about cooking?"

The second half of the work became more relaxed and happy, the elder sister who made the coffee didn't ask any more questions, her eyes were full of smiles, she made an exception and gave Ji Xiao an early leave, telling him to hurry up and leave.Ji Xiao changed the apron, and changed back to the familiar sunny appearance.

Chu Lan, who was waiting for him, sighed unsatisfactorily: "How beautiful the apron is."

Ji Xiao glared at him, but Chu Lan was unmoved.

The two walked slowly along the street side by side. When they were not talking, they always disliked the infinitely long time, but they were afraid that the opportunity for the two of them to be alone would end in a flash.He bought two ice creams on the street and handed them to Chu Lan. Eating would make up for the silence. Ji Xiao grabbed Chu Lan's shoulders and pushed him in.

He did this kind of protective action very smoothly, but Chu Lan accepted it with goosebumps all over his body.

He is a person who has been in love, and the education he received since he was a child made him take care of girls more, so he was very gentlemanly towards Song Shiyong before, but now the roles have been reversed, and he has become the one who is being taken care of. He forgave Ji Xiao. "My temper is getting better and better." Chu Lan thought.

He felt that he was completely boiled by Ji Xiao's warm water. From the confession in the golden bathroom, from the frankness in the night on the school road, and even earlier, during his morning call and waiting day after day, Chu Lan took him Good as a habit.

It's easy to form a habit, but much harder to quit.

Chu Lan bit the ice cream cone, and licked the part that touched the corner of his lips reflexively, immersed in his own thoughts.Ji Xiao gently pulled his hand: "Hey...Look, Jiang Xinghe."

He was quite contemptuous of the name Chu Lan, but he was full of curiosity. Sure enough, on the opposite side of the street, Jiang Xinghe put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked along the edge of the street into the alley.He walked without distraction, and seemed to have a little more aura than usual——

He walked up to a slender young man and immediately smiled.Jiang Xinghe hangs on that person, and most of that lawless arrogance disappeared immediately.The two walked away sticky, without looking back.

Chu Lan: "Who is that?"

Ji Xiao wiped Chu Lan's hands with a tissue: "His legendary boyfriend."

Chu Lan was noncommittal, until they got on the subway, and said slowly: "I don't think that man is worthy of Jiang Xinghe, Jiang Xinghe saw him so happy, but he was indifferent."

At that time, Ji Xiao thought that Chu Lan was just talking casually, so he responded vaguely, reminding him to hold on to the handrail.A year and a half later, Jiang Xinghe came to him to complain, Ji Xiao thought of Chu Lan's words, and was surprised that Chu Lan's eyes were more accurate than anyone he knew.

The two of them didn't care about wasting time at all, they went to the supermarket to buy fresh meat and vegetables, and walked slowly to the place where Chu Lan lived.

Chu Lan's family is well off, Ji Xiao knows it.Even so, when Chu Lan led him into the famously expensive villa real estate, he still couldn't help sighing: "A Lan, your family is a bourgeoisie."

Chu Lan laughed, took out the key and opened the door of the small garden.Ji Xiao stepped in with one leg, and suddenly out of nowhere came a ball of gold, which rolled towards him at a high speed. He was stunned, and Chu Lan squatted down and opened his arms: "Pudding is good, come and hug me. Don't make trouble, this It's my brother's friend."

The ball of golden color threw itself on Chu Lan's body and rubbed and licked it. Only then did Ji Xiao see clearly that it was a half-human tall golden hair.He liked to keep pets all his life, but he never succeeded. At this moment, his love for dogs was overflowing, and he squatted beside Chu Lan, rubbing the golden retriever's head tentatively.

He was not malicious, Chu Lan pointed to a bag of dog snacks next to him and asked him to feed it.The golden retriever who has a milk is a mother quickly recognized Ji Xiao as his ally, jumped up and down happily, walked upright and wagged his tail in greeting.

Chu Lan opened the door: "This is my mother's own son, Pudding, who is over two years old... Before she said that I was at school and no one played with her, so I bought it myself. After I brought it back, my father and I fell out of favor. .”

Ji Xiao tried to hug Pudding, but failed.He stumbled, followed Chu Lan into the house, changed the slippers that Chu Lan gave him, and looked at the other's house seriously.

For Ji Xiao, this really looks like a "home".The windows are bright and clean, the green plants in the garden are lush, there are fruits on the coffee table, orchids are hanging on the balcony, and there is a tea table that looks expensive and a whole set of kung fu tea sets.Pudding shook his head and lay down on the carpet, and began to lick his paws.

The living room was quite messy, Chu Lan quickly put some clothes on the sofa to the hangers, and then explained: "My dad, he probably got up late again today...there is my mother's tea set, I don't know alley."

The kitchen was tidy, but without smoke.Chu Lan leaned against the door: "No one in our family cooks... Usually, I either go to grandpa's for a meal or eat takeaway."

Ji Xiao had already started to wash the rice with practice, and asked, "What about Auntie?"

Chu Lan: "She dines and eats takeout with me."

Ji Xiao: "..."

Facing the freshly bought vegetables on the table, he remembered that Chu Lan couldn't distinguish the cramped appearance of all kinds of vegetables just now, and sincerely felt that growing up in such a home with his current character, he didn't know whether to say it was a crooked or a logical one.

This day Ji Xiao made a home-cooked meal for two, complete with meat and vegetables, and made a pork rib soup.Chu Lan praised him for his good craftsmanship, Pudding sat beside him begging for food, and the two chatted and laughed happily, all of which made Ji Xiao fall into a dizzying bliss.

He has no concept of "family" since he was a child, he only knows how to rely on others and depend on each other.Sitting at Chu Lan's house, the environment is very strange, and the atmosphere is occasionally stiff, but Ji Xiao feels at ease for no reason, as if everything happened naturally. He said goodbye.

Ji Xiao returned to his residence and sent a WeChat message to Chu Lan: "Thank you."

It took a long time for the other party to reply: "I'll fly to Hong Kong at ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, do you want to deliver it?" followed by a shy EMOJI with flushed cheeks.

Ji Xiao fell headfirst on the bed, received a critical hit of [-] points, and was so cute that his liver trembled and his lungs shook.
