Long grass warbler flying

I heard people say that the highest state of love lies in being able to become a better self for the other party.Ji Xiao sneered at this remark at the time, thinking it was too naive, but when he actually talked about it with Chu Lan, he regretted it, and felt that he who despised this sentence was really out of shape, very Yiwu.

Long-distance relationships are always the most testing of people, but Ji Xiao doesn't think it's a problem from the very beginning of their relationship.

As a Virgo, Chu Lan has all the flaws that have been criticized on the Internet, but he also has many other advantages such as accurate time concept, protection of shortcomings, and long-term love.He loves to eat a rice noodle shop outside the main entrance of No. [-] Middle School, and he can patronize it every day for three years. When he likes someone, he can also do "the other party will never take the initiative to hurt others unless they say they broke up."

Ji Xiao always felt that Chu Lan was very soft-hearted, even if he said the words of refusal, he was extremely tactful, for fear that the other party would be upset.Such a person is good, but sometimes it is too ruthless to think about it.

After Ji Xiao was greeted by Chu Lan from morning to night every day, this point of innocence collapsed.

Chu Lan got up early and didn't bother him, so she sent a message to remind Ji Xiao to remember to check the weather forecast before going out.Ji Xiao was a light sleeper. After being shaken like this, he woke up immediately. He yawned and chatted with him, and after sending Chu Lan to the classroom remotely, he let go of his hands and went back to sleep.

Chu Lan would definitely reply when he sent a message. The whole state seemed very balanced, and he would not embarrass anyone, and felt that he was talking to himself.They chatted with everyone in the group more often, Chu Lan didn't talk much at first, but after more than a month of tossing around like this, she actually molested Zhou Yang in the group every day when she had nothing to do.

When Zhou Yang studied the Fa, he only had to memorize a lot of things. Chu Lan’s few courses were similar to what he had learned, so he sent some teaching materials—it happened to be in English. Zhou Yang screamed and protested, next time Chu Lan Send it right.

After graduating from high school, Chang Rendao's relationship got better and better. As for the others, they gradually parted ways. They didn't contact each other for a few years, and they didn't wait until they graduated from university. Looking at the photos in high school, people and names no longer match up.This is true, Ji Xiao is tired of being in that WeChat group all day long, and everyone has even set up a QQ group, and the little days are very enjoyable.

There were occasional movements in the class, but most of the time they remained silent.

Ji Xiao sighed to Chu Lan: "At that time, other people talked lively, and they stopped contacting after graduation."

Chu Lan sent him a sentence, "It's only two or three people who know themselves in life", which is very polite, and Ji Xiao doesn't have this cell. Apart from thinking that Chu Lan is cute, he still thinks that Chu Lan is cute.

Ji Xiao joined the club and actively worked on a work-study program in his spare time.His family's conditions are not particularly bad, now the sky is high and the emperor is far away, for some reason, his stepfather and mother think he is pleasing to the eye, occasionally asking for warmth, but Ji Xiao is not flattered at all.

No matter how old the shadow of youth is, I still have lingering fears when I mention it, and I will be immersed in that gloomy mood at any time.Ji Xiao knows this very well, so at this moment, the parents' overtures seem extremely mundane, which makes him unable to accept them calmly.He won't even take the initiative to contact his family, let alone talk about his own affairs.

The more the schoolwork ends, the more nervous he becomes. After winter, he often receives Chu Lanxiu's sense of superiority.Every time he saw Chu Lan wearing a coat and seeing through the short-sleeved Chu Lan, Ji Xiao felt a little complicated.

"The temperature difference between the north and the south is about to split the motherland." He said this to Chu Lan, who couldn't help but laugh.

I attend classes on weekdays, and work part-time at the on-campus newsstand when I am not in class.Ji Xiao gets along well with his college classmates, and the atmosphere in University C is quite pragmatic, so he gets along very well with him.

Chu Lan has said countless times that Ji Xiao is really inferior to a liberal arts student.He didn't deliberately mock Ji Xiao sourly, it's just that the reason why someone chose the essay back then was not simple, and now he is learning finance like a fish in water, thinking of Ji Xiao's high school memorizing politics... Chu Lan just wanted to laugh.

Talking a few words every day, counting the days, I even feel like time flies.

The semester setting of Chulan University is different from that of Ji Xiao, so the holidays are also staggered.He had nearly half a month of winter vacation for Christmas, followed by another small semester until he returned home during the Spring Festival.The summer vacation is very long. After the exam at the end of April, until the start of school in September, there is a long period of time to do various social practice or other courses. The degree of freedom is extremely high, but the requirements are also very strict.

"So you want to come over during Christmas vacation?" Ji Xiao held his phone between his fingers, and kept writing high numbers.

"Do you want me to go?" Chu Lan said, "Yesterday in the group you were still talking about the end-of-term Shura field."

Ji Xiao: "Yes."

Chu Lan said quietly: "Then I will disturb your study when I go... My classmates in the study group and I will complete a social survey as soon as possible, and there will be survey papers later, and the school will start after it is finished."

Ji Xiao said blankly, "...Oh."

Then in his disappointment, Chu Lan said: "The time is before Christmas, the place, because of my strong lobbying, Han Ai got in touch with a classmate from F University, and we will go to Shanghai to do research in the three universities near you. investigation."

Ji Xiao is completely at a loss for words, the ups and downs of life are too happy.

Chu Lan's team consists of six people. Although the research method does not necessarily require face-to-face interviews, several people come from all corners of the country. They used to be forced to study under high pressure for ten years. Now they come out to play in the name of investigation, so they came all the way. It's Shanghai.

He didn't go to the airport to borrow Chu Lan because Chu Lan said it was unnecessary.Later, Han Ai asked Chu Lan a few questions about their affairs, and he answered very frankly, which actually made the girl look at her with admiration.When they came here this time, the other students didn't know that Chu Lan's boyfriend was also in Shanghai. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Chu Lan and Ji Xiao made an appointment to find him later.

After settling down in the residence, Han Ai called and made an appointment with that classmate from F University.

They waited in the hotel lobby for about 10 to [-] minutes, when a girl jumped into the door, Han Ai's eyes lit up, he waved to her, and shouted: "Student Wang, this way!"

When the girl saw Han Ai, she smiled so much that she showed her eight teeth.She wears round glasses, looks like a bamboo pole, is about 1.7 meters tall, has long hands and feet, and a very healthy complexion.Perhaps in order to make Han Ai easy to identify, she was wearing an F-sized T-shirt with a high ponytail, and she wore a pair of ripped jeans and a fleece baseball shirt for the cold winter.

The girl with big F speaks with a soft southern accent, which doesn't match her overly rock-and-roll appearance: "Hello, I'm Wang Jingyuan, just call me Jingyuan."

The group introduced themselves and were taken by Wang Jingyuan as tourists for half a day.She treats people warmly, and specially finds a distinctive Chinese restaurant to be the host in the evening.

That place is not far from F University, Chu Lan thought about it, and asked her: "I have a friend who lives next door to your school. I haven't seen you for a long time. Can I invite him to come with me?"

Wang Jingyuan said, "Really? He's from C University, right? Let's call and get to know each other."

So when Ji Xiao rushed to the eating place, what he saw was the scene of Chu Lan talking to other people with a smile.He couldn't help but wondered for a moment—would the old Chu Lan laugh like this?Can universities really make a big difference?

Their reunion was quite dramatic, thanks to the fact that they are always in touch, there is no tears in their eyes this time.Ji Xiao walked over, pressed Chu Lan's head gently, and successfully got a supercilious look.He took a seat next to Chu Lan and smiled at Han Ai: "We meet again."

Han Ai was very nervous, but she also knew that she should not introduce rashly, so she smiled at Ji Xiao: "Brother Ji."

Chu Lan put the teapot in front of Ji Xiao, and said, "Ji Xiao, my high school classmate." After everyone called each other brothers, he gently tugged at the corner of Ji Xiao's clothes under the table. After he leaned over, Chu Lan asked: "I told you to call Xin En, where is Xin En?"

Ji Xiao laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you that Xin En was recently being chased by a boy in charge of the next door, and invited her to a movie, how can I bother them?"

Chu Lan suddenly realized, he endured it for a while, and moved the chair to Ji Xiao's side.

Thinking that Xiaoxinsi could not be seen by others, when Chu Lan raised her head, Ji Xiao casually dragged the bowl and chopsticks that had not been moved to the front, and immediately there was a steamed bun in the empty bowl.

Chu Lan: "...Hello."

Ji Xiao ignored it, peeled another boiled shrimp for Chu Lan, and stuffed it straight into his mouth.No one paid attention to them at the moment, and Chu Lan's words were all blocked back. He bit the shrimp resentfully, only feeling that the taste was a bit bland.

After a meal, the guests and hosts had a great time. After the meal, Wang Jingyuan checked the itinerary with them, and promised to take a few of them to see some other scenic spots in Shanghai the next day, and then said goodbye to each other.

Han Ai quietly pulled Chu Lan aside, and said, "Go play with Ji Xiao, and I'll just take them back to the hotel. It's not far, and it's very convenient to walk for half an hour."

Just as Chu Lan was about to refute, Han Ai said again: "Isn't it because of Brother Ji? Go quickly."

Chu Lan didn't know how to refuse these words, and laughed twice in embarrassment.Han Ai frowned, pushed him towards Ji Xiao, and told the remaining students to go first: "Let's go back first, Alan is going for a walk with his high school classmates."

Seeing the expressions of understanding on their faces, Chu Lan wondered for a moment where she had revealed something.

The others walked away laughing and laughing, and only the two of them were still standing at the door of the restaurant.Just now, they got along quite smoothly, and there were not too many small movements. Ji Xiao kept picking up food for him, handing him tissues, and took good care of him. He was like this before, and Chu Lan didn't feel that it was unnatural. Now he calmed down and recalled, and then I think it's a bit weird.

How can two boys be so close?

Even if they could see it, it wouldn't be surprising, not to mention that Han Ai always encouraged them to talk about the past.

Chu Lan's mind was tangled in chaos, Ji Xiao approached, and gently hugged his shoulder: "This is not far from where you live, do you... want to walk around or go back directly?"

Chu Lan asked him back, "Where are you going?"

Ji Xiao looked down at his watch, and deliberately showed it to Chu Lan: "It's only past seven o'clock, if you want, we will take a car to the Bund."

Chu Lan: "Looking at the night scene again?"

As expected, Ji Xiao showed a nervous expression.Satisfied, Chu Lan walked forward and let him catch up by himself, before saying, "You can just walk casually, I guess you are not familiar with this place, and the scope of daily activities is near the school—right?"

Ji Xiao was hit by his words, he rubbed the back of his head and remained silent.He reached out his hand quietly, first grabbed Chu Lan's sleeve, and realized that the other party didn't mind at all, then slowly lowered it until he held his hand.

Shanghai is wet and cold in winter, and there is an air conditioner in the room, but after leaving the restaurant, the wind blew for a while, and Chu Lan's hands were cold.Ji Xiao tried to warm him up. He had never done this before, and he was extremely clumsy. He held Chu Lan, and began to recall the fragments of idol dramas he had watched sporadically. He wrapped Chu Lan's hand completely, put it under his eyes, and breathed .

The street lamps illuminated a ball of warm yellow, dotted across the street.The street trees hang their heads quietly, and the road is full of traffic, occasionally blocking a section.

Chu Lan looked at him with his eyes downcast, the cross shadow of the light and the night made Ji Xiao's silhouette extraordinarily deep, the skin that had been suffocated by him felt moist and warm, his hands were not yet warm, but the spring breeze was already in his heart one step ahead.

In the end, they still didn't go far, the two of them clasped hands, finally found a sense of love, and slowly moved back to the place where Chu Lan lived.Only one stop away from C University, Ji Xiao will see him off first.

On the way, Chu Lan said to Ji Xiao: "Tomorrow, we will make an appointment with some students from F University for an interview. We need to collect some materials, and then borrow their school library to sort out the data in the afternoon. If everything goes well, we will finish it tomorrow, and then Nothing until next Wednesday - which is Christmas. Even if it doesn't go well, it can be done by the weekend at the latest."

Ji Xiao: "Very good, it's rare to see you being so passionate about one thing."

He spoke the truth.Although Chu Lan studied hard in high school, she felt like a machine, doing the papers as soon as they were handed out, and reading her own books after finishing writing. Ji Xiao once took advantage of Chu Lan to take a bath and looked through his bookshelf. Leviathan, "Social Contract Theory" and other professional enlightenment books, he read one head and two big.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiao couldn't help but smile: "Do you still remember Xiao Yingchun's class meeting in our sophomore year?"

Xiao Yingchun holds themed class meetings almost every month, and Chu Lan said in a daze, "Mr. Xiao...which one?"

Ji Xiao reminded him: "The thing I want to do most in the future."

Chu Lan let out an "oh" and said honestly, "I seem to have made a speech, but I can't remember it."

At that time, Xiao Yingchun liked to ask people to speak. She saw that Chu Lan's silence was golden, so she finally called Chu Lan and asked him what direction he wanted to learn in the future.Among the simple or romantic dreams of many students who "want to be a teacher", "want to be a historian", "want to be a geological prospector" and "want to open a pet shop", Chu Lan justly said——

"I want to study sociology." Ji Xiao repeated, "That's what you said at the time, and later you said that you wanted to study journalism from F University. In the end, you got what you wanted, but I have always been puzzled, why do you want to study this? "

"...forgot." Chu Lan thought for a long time, and said, "I only mentioned it to my mother once... But I am really interested in this aspect. When I was admitted, my father said it was 'not doing business properly' and I My mother scolded me bloody, and he wanted my son to follow his father's footsteps to study finance—oh, that's good, you learned it, and my father will probably be very pleased to bring you home in the future."

Ji Xiao, who had passed through an ashtray, couldn't understand his calmness at all, and could only attribute it to the utopian plot Chu Lan imagined, and said earnestly: "Coming out is not as simple as you think."

Chu Lan turned her head to look at him: "Huh?"

Ji Xiao: "If you are studying this, you should be more clear. At present, most people still don't agree with it, let alone legalize it. Our relationship is small and not recognized. Ah Lan, don't be too idealistic."

Ji Xiao had never raised a serious topic with him so politely, and Chu Lan couldn't help but follow suit.He really never thought about it, he just took it for granted that "if my parents love me, they will approve", and he never thought about whether there are more people-teachers, classmates, friends, future colleagues and all interpersonal relationships-whether they can understand and agree with me. Be patient.

He was stumped by this question and fell into deep thought.

Ji Xiao saw that Chu Lan was about to go into a corner again, so he quickly changed his mind and said, "But it's not necessarily true. You can see that Xin En and Fan Fan are all supportive, and Han Ai is also very kind to you... right?"

"Ji Xiao," Chu Lan said as if he didn't hear what he said, "When do you think I can take you home to meet your parents and tell them openly that you and I will live forever?"
