Long grass warbler flying

Chu Lan's mind has been very restless today, since he woke up in the morning, he always felt some kind of indescribable premonition that followed him everywhere.But things around him were going smoothly. He had dinner in the morning and went to class. The professor was friendly and the students were paying attention. Even the reference materials that he didn't understand usually had fewer unfamiliar words than usual.

He couldn't pick out the thorn, so he had to hold his breath and continue to follow the steps.

When taking coffee to the library, Chu Lan received a WeChat message from Ji Xiao, reminding him to pay attention to the alternation of hot and cold, which makes him easy to catch a cold.He replied with a panda head expression that has become popular recently: "Understood, Uncle Ji."

Uncle Ji’s pure old-age life, C University can be said to be doting on the freshmen. There are five days of classes a week, and three days can sleep until 09:30 before getting up. The class hours are so small that it is enviable and enviable.Ji Xiao used to be a wonderful person who stayed up late at night to study, and fell asleep when he read early, but now there are no restrictions, and he is more at ease.

Every day after Chu Lan went for a walk in Tolo Harbor, had breakfast, and returned to the dormitory to bring textbooks to the classroom, Ji Xiao woke up slowly.And from the moment he got up, he began to care for Chu Lan... writing harassment reading writing.

Chu Lan suspects that Ji Xiao’s mobile phone receives all kinds of news from Hong Kong at any time. Apart from the weather forecast, he pushes to Chu Lan all kinds of gourmet shops. Given time, I’m afraid he can use this opportunity to “travel in the cloud”.

Recently, the golden week is approaching, and the high school classmates invite each other to entertain each other all day long.

"That good-for-nothing Fan Fan ran home on National Day." Chu Lan asked as if thinking of something after posting, "Are you guys going on vacation too? What's the arrangement?"

Ji Xiao: "There's nothing planned, I'm too lazy to go home and make trouble."

So the topic stopped there, Chu Lan still had a lot of information to check, and Ji Xiao never bothered him: "You go first, talk about it later, I also have classes here."

In the first month of school at CUHK, Chu Lan adapted quickly.He was once praised by Li Wenyin, who said, "My children are not good at anything, but they are very open-minded, and they are especially able to adapt to the environment."His thoughts soaked in exam-oriented education for many years were washed away in just 20 days, and then he began to read voraciously.

The few books Chu Lan read during the summer vacation came in handy, and he realized that the previous pretentiousness was just farting. There are many people who are better than him and work harder than him, and he is just the most ordinary living being.He learned how to write "humility" without a teacher, and consciously put this word on the first page of his life dictionary.

In the past, Chu Lan was an arrogant bastard, he thought so, and then tortured his soul in doubt: "What does Ji Xiao like about me? Do you always give him face?"

When a person grows up, he suddenly looks back, only to realize that his former self was like a frog in a well, everything in the past was not pleasing to the eye, and he wished he could go back to the furnace and rebuild.

It's a pity that time cannot be turned back, so we have to start from the present and slowly correct every unsatisfactory place.

He used to study in the fifth middle school, relying on the favor of his teacher, he was quite arrogant.At that time, the classmates in the class would take the initiative to say hello to him, and he nodded in response, and he became familiar with him after coming and going.Nowadays, no one in CUHK cares about who he is, what his grades are in the past, and all interpersonal relationships have to be developed by himself. At first, he was full of embarrassment, but later he stumbled and found a few people who often exchanged learning experiences with each other, and made appointments for eating and exercising together. friend.

It was the day before the National Day holiday. Chu Lan had finished all her classes and was invited by Li Chengqi—his senior roommate—to go to the gym for a run—the place was downstairs in the dormitory, with all the facilities.Originally, he had no interest in fitness, but he couldn't bear the persuasion of his classmates all day long, so they came to drag him when the time came. After more than a week, he became a habit of sweating every day.

Li Chengqi and Chu Lan were sweating on the adjacent treadmills. He took the time to show off to Chu Lan: "My girlfriend will come to see me tomorrow. They have fewer classes this semester and have nine days off!"

Chu Lan nodded, and belatedly remembered that it was also the National Day holiday, no wonder the group has been restless these two days.

"I won't go back to the dormitory tonight. She will arrive at night and have booked a hotel. By the way, Chu Lan, you are always alone. When the time comes, let's go to the Central Ring to eat delicious food together?" Li Chengqi laughed She then sent out an invitation, "Anyway, I'm an old married couple with her, and I'm not afraid of you being a light bulb."

When this person was in high school, he secretly violated the school rules of no puppy love, and fell in love with their classmate.After graduating, Ban Hua was admitted to the Normal University. The two lived far apart, and their relationship is still very stable. He said this to Chu Lan because he didn't have a chance to show his affection.

"No senior." Chu Lan looked at his watch, and when he reached the point where he was exercising, he pressed the treadmill to stop, "Have fun, I can read two more pages of literature in the dormitory during the holidays, and the professor will wait for the National Day. Do a presentation group assignment, and if the score is too low, he will be angry."

Li Chengqi spread his hands regretfully: "Okay, I feel sorry for you... If you have time, go to the school and sit there, maybe you can meet the lover of your dreams, so let's leave the group."

Chu Lan smiled: "Let's talk, I'll go first."

Xu received too many love letters when he was in high school, and the balance was overdrawn in advance. Chu Lan has been in CUHK for so long, only one girl came to strike up a conversation, and he wanted to leave his mailbox.From then on, Chu Lan occasionally received emails from a Hong Kong girl named Han Ai, all of which were study questions. He replied twice. They probably saw that Chu Lan was not interested in her, so they simply changed their self-positioning and concentrated on exchanging book lists with Chu Lan.

After returning to the dormitory from the gym, Chu Lan poured a glass of water and checked the mailbox after taking a shower.

Han Ai sent an invitation letter. Their academy will hold a reading activity during the National Day holiday. Chu Lan had seen the guests present and told her that she would go if she had time.Chu Lan deleted the spam emails, finished her PPT, and wrote the speech, and the hour hand passed eleven o'clock quietly.

The premonition that lingered all day didn't come true. Chu Lan stood up, stretched, and planned to lie back under the covers to end the day, but the phone on the table vibrated crazily.

He frowned suspiciously, the familiar big dog on the screen looked naive—it was actually Ji Xiao.

Chu Lan thought that Ji Xiao had tacitly agreed that the two of them would have to talk on the phone every few days. This ambiguity was not too much, and now that they were living in different places, it was almost condoning his behavior.

"Hello?" Chu Lan listened to the phone, and with the other hand, she quickly sorted out the scattered documents on the table.

Ji Xiao's side was very quiet, and Chu Lan was frightened by the last time he encountered a phone call with appendicitis, and quickly said, "Hello? Ji Xiao?"

After about ten seconds, the passage of time was almost solid, and he finally spoke with a full smile: "What to do, Chu Lan, your school is too big... I can't find where you are. "

Chu Lan was taken aback for a moment, and reflexively said, "...don't make trouble."

There was the sound of footsteps coming from the receiver, Ji Xiao took two steps and then stopped, clearly confident: "I just took the bus from the airport to the city, and then took the subway from the city, and I almost missed the last bus... I didn’t exchange Hong Kong dollars or book a hotel, if you don’t take me in, I’ll have to sleep on the streets.”

His voice is still gentle, whispering as if it was a very quiet story.Chu Lan was like thunder, he jumped to the door of the dormitory, changed his shoes in a hurry, and made a huge noise.

The bed opposite him was a mess. Chu Lan stared at it for a while before taking the key: "Is it really here? Don't lie to me."

Ji Xiao read the name of the station on the bus stop sign word by word, and the lack of blood proved the reliability of his speech.Chu Lan closed the door of the dormitory, and sighed as if giving up: "You wait for me there, don't run around."

There is nothing to do with Ji Xiao.Chu Lan ran all the way downstairs, the evening wind from Tolo Harbor woke him up sharply, he stopped where he was, and the school road lights were dimly shadowed.

"What the hell am I doing?"

He kicked the pebbles, and the swallowing action made Chu Lan feel that his throat was about to burn.It seems to have lost consciousness, leaving only one thought and one person, lingering in the sea of ​​​​consciousness.The uneasiness that had troubled him all day had an answer, and Chu Lan quickened his pace. From the dormitory building to the MTR station, it was such a long journey, but he felt that time flew by.

With each step, he thought, "I do like him, maybe since a long time ago. Ashamed to admit it, ashamed to face it, but the truth can never be escaped—

"It's just coming out, I'm free, and I don't have to lie to myself anymore.

"It's useless to hold it in your heart, you have to tell him face to face.

"I like Ji Xiao."

When Chu Lan rushed to the school gate out of breath, she was not tired yet, and first saw a familiar figure sitting by the street.

He put his backpack aside and looked at the door of CUHK without distraction.When he saw Chu Lan, he didn't get up as before, but opened his arms, the street lights were dim, and his smile was warm.

The distance between them was obviously thousands of kilometers, but Ji Xiao, who told him in the morning, "Pay attention to the alternation of hot and cold as the temperature rises recently," appeared in front of him without warning.

Walking towards him step by step, Chu Lan's nose was sore.

He wiped his eyes fiercely, and many images impacted his memories - the afternoon when he climbed the wisteria trellis in No. [-] Middle School, the weekend of copying homework together, the quiet honesty with each other on the school road, the careful temptation, the fleeting moment Hugs, and the joy of jumping out with the sun at dawn.

These are all the rudiments of love, buried in the youthful years, and now they have bloomed brilliantly.

Chu Lan stopped in front of Ji Xiao, looked at him condescendingly, and tried her best to swallow the choked sobs: "You are so annoying."

He was wearing thin pajamas with ruffles at the shoulders.Ji Xiao's gaze lowered gently, and landed on Chu Lan's shoe. He probably came out in such a hurry that he didn't even tie his shoelaces properly.

Ji Xiao squatted there, knelt down on one knee, tied Chu Lan's shoelaces naturally, and then stood up with curled lips.The boy he likes has a complicated expression, and the once arrogant and indifferent mask will be shattered with one blow.

"But you're still here."

"Are you sick?" Chu Lan said, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly.

Ji Xiao's fingers gently brushed against Chu Lan's face, which was a little chilled by the wind. His voice was no different from that on the phone, but it was much more cordial when heard face to face: "Well, I like you."

Chu Lan didn't move, but there was already too much emotion in those slightly drooping eyes.

"Didn't you say you missed me?" Ji Xiao's tone rose happily, "Although the expression may be awkward, you shouldn't have lied to me, right? So I'm here—are you surprised or surprised?"

"... Nervous."

Ji Xiao didn't have time to chew on the meaning, and was suddenly hugged by Chu Lan.

Different from the one at the airport when parting, this time the hug lasted longer, and Chu Lan hugged her closer.It's not that he hasn't been in love before, but he was as clumsy as if he was getting close to someone for the first time, he wrapped both of Ji Xiao's arms in his arms.Ji Xiao was stunned for a moment, then pulled out and put his arms around Chu Lan's back.

Their shadows were elongated by the street lamps, and the shadows of the trees were whirling. They cuddled closely in the deserted street at midnight.

"Keep your voice down, don't disturb the neighbors." Chu Lan gently closed the dormitory door, said to Ji Xiao, then pointed to the table and chairs by the window, motioning him to sit there.

It was only then that Chu Lan felt a little uncomfortable. He had a headache from the wind, and the water on the table was already cold.Ji Xiao didn't mind sitting on his stool, and commented on Chu Lan's dormitory: "Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs."

No matter what, the bed couldn't fit two big boys. Chu Lan finally grew taller during the summer vacation, and looking slender, he was taller than he actually seemed.He opened the box under the bed, dragged a thick quilt out and threw it on the ground, then pulled out a pillow from the quilt, and made a simple floor bunk.

"You should go to sleep in a hotel tomorrow. There are also ones near our school. They are not very expensive... I will treat you as an invitation." Chu Lan lowered her eyes, half-kneeling to help Ji Xiao pave the temporary residence, and fell on the bed by herself, " The bathroom is over there, it's very small, it's not easy to turn around, so be quiet when you take a shower. My roommate's bed, I don't dare to sleep for you without his consent."

Ji Xiao said yes, took out the pajamas from the backpack, and ordered one action at a time.

After washing up quickly, as if he didn't mind the sleeping environment at all, he burrowed into the floor of Chu Lan's shop, and then checked the time on his phone: "By the way, are you going to class tomorrow?"

"It's a holiday." Chu Lan was still sitting on the bed, not knowing who to send the message to, "I'll take you to Victoria Harbor tomorrow, and tell me where you want to go in these few days, so that I can ask others for advice... Don't count on me, The ground has not yet been trampled."

Ji Xiao nodded, just looked at him and smiled, not feeling sleepy for a while.

Chu Lan put down the phone, looked at him helplessly, and stared at him for a long time, as if he had made a very important decision—maybe he couldn’t stand Ji Xiao’s smirk—and said, “Hey, Ji Xiao.”

"Well, what happened?"

"Although it's a bit of an afterthought to say it now, it's not fair to you...but you are my first boyfriend." Chu Lan said seriously, "I hope you will also be the last."

He was completely knocked out, blissfully unable to distinguish east from west, north from south.Ji Xiao forgot how he responded to him, and how he lay down. The only impression he had was that in the darkness after the lights were turned off, he couldn't see his fingers, and Chu Lan's voice seemed to be sighing.

"...What happened before was my fault, I'm sorry."

Before he had time to speak, Chu Lan hurriedly added: "I will learn to be nice to you."
