little boy [rebirth]

"Sorry, the traffic jam is a bit late."

Ji Ran didn't respond for a while.Su Ning walked towards the man, and the man's extremely low voice gradually became clear: "Is Uncle Ji there?"

The two aunts quickly served fresh-cut fruit plates and tea. The old lady patted the sofa and said, "I'm going to a meeting abroad. You said you picked up Ran Ran and left, so I didn't ask anyone to prepare anything else."

"Hmm. Excuse me."

Fu Yanbai is very handsome, but not friendly.That kind of cold handsome is extremely good-looking, but it makes people feel like his face is frosty.It seems that it is not surprising to leave silently at any time.

Ji Ran actually felt that he hadn't changed much from what he remembered.Seems like it used to be.Or maybe he can't remember clearly.

Just a little bit.

This person used to have bangs that were often scattered on the bridge of his nose. When he looked down at people with his eyebrows down, he looked like he was living in a youth movie.

Now he has neat black hair, not much longer than an inch, with a patch of light on his forehead, mature and neat.

And things are changing...

Ji Ran turned her head back.He was stepping on brick-sized panda ball slippers, and the Ghost Mie family on the sweater was moving slightly with his breath...

"Hello." Fu Yanbai glanced at his watch and greeted first: "I'm Fu Yanbai."

"Ji Ran."

"..."

Ji Ran was stung on the shoulder for an instant, and Su Ning laughed dryly: "What are you talking about, call you Uncle Fu."

Fu Yanbai has no experience with children.His eyes first glanced at the index finger wrapped in plaster, and finally stayed on Ji Ran's immature and fair face.

[The cutest little grandson of Uncle Ji's family skipped a grade in primary school, he is very smart. 】

[He said he didn't want to go abroad and wanted to come to Luyang to study for the college entrance examination.The dormitory conditions in No. [-] Middle School are not good, so I will let him live with you, and he will be picked up on weekends. 】

[Your grandpa is always talking about such a cute baby, you may have the idea of ​​falling in love and getting married after seeing it. 】

[Oh, by the way, the name is Ji Ran.Polite and well-behaved, your mother would love it too. 】

Ji Ran looked at him: "Hello."

Fu Yanbai: "..."

It's rare for the little boy to lose the chain, and the old lady Ji trembled twice in fright, and said to Fu Yanbai: "I'm laughing, I'm laughing."

Fu Yanbai had a clear face: "It's nothing."

The old lady froze, trying to save her: "Ran Ran...he is very good."

Su Ning: "He's not rebellious."

Old lady: "Yes, yes. That's..."

Su Ning: "It's just a little scared."

Old lady: "Yes, afraid of strangers!"

Once the old lady Ji figured it out, she struggled immediately: "Ran Ran, come and perform a show for your Uncle Fu."

Ji Ran:. . .

"Slow down on the road."

The driver loaded Ji Ran's carry-on luggage into the car.

The old lady Ji, who almost showed off her baby Waterloo, returned to the scene, with a kind face on her face: "Auntie will be there soon, and I will trouble you to see him more for studying."

Fu Yanbai glanced at the cruel boy who sat in the co-pilot.Ever since he was forced to sing the song AppleTree, the young master kept his face sullen and didn't speak again.

Fu Yanbai: "It should."

Su Ning looked down at the car window reluctantly: "When you get there, study hard, eat breakfast, and go to bed early at night. Listen to your Uncle Fu, do you understand?"

Ji Ran said nothing.

"..." Mrs. Ji could only laugh and smooth things over: "Ran Ran is just shy. Before you came, he said that he just likes uncle and doesn't want mother..."

"knew!!!!"

"..."

Ji Ran felt social death for the first time.

It is a three-hour high-speed drive from Haiyun to Luyang.A tree pierces half of the sky, its shadow sweeps across the bright windshield, and the little figure on it hardly moves from the ground.

"drink water?"

"Need not."

"Go to the bathroom?"

"Need not."

"That doesn't stop."

"Oh."

Six high-speed service areas passed by, and the car finally drove into the underground garage of Fu Yanbai's house.Ji Ran watched all the way, and finally understood why he was sent to board here.

Fu Yanbai's home is too close to Luyang No. [-] Middle School.

The surrounding area is the old city of Luyang, which can be said to be worth every inch of land.However, the housing prices near Luyang No. [-] Middle School have been close to the devil in recent years, and it is simply an extravagant hope that the housing in the school district will not be close to [-] million.

In such a place, Fu Yanbai lived in a large duplex apartment with elevator access, across the road from the gate of Luyang No. [-] Middle School, which can be said to be extremely luxurious.

"Wait for me in the elevator."

With a "ding", the elevator door opened, and Fu Yanbai carried his suitcase and stepped into the corridor first.Ji Ran didn't really want to open his mouth to speak yet, so he turned his head slightly, watching Fu Yanbai press the lock and enter the door.

Twenty singles.

Life is messy.

Ji Ran looked away, and there were only a few elevator buttons in front of him.He found that he couldn't recall much of the past.Even the Luyang No. 12 Middle School that I glimpsed from the car window just now has completely changed its appearance from [-] years ago.

Apart from myself, maybe no one remembers that weak, always white-faced person.

"come in."

It was quick to clean up.Hearing the sound, Ji Ran got out of the elevator and walked through the entrance corridor. The dark blue bright wooden door marked 7F was ajar ajar.

He went in, and realized he was thinking too much.

Fu Yanbai's apartment is exquisite, almost spotless and clean, with an elegant and simple wood tone style, exuding a faint scent of sandalwood.

And the apartment is so big that it won't affect anything if you live in one more person, and you won't even be able to see each other if you don't pay attention.

Fu Yanbai: "I live on the first floor, and you live on the second floor. There are everything except the kitchen. Auntie is here to live in the attic above you. The sound insulation is very good, so it won't disturb your study."

Ji Ran: "Oh."

"There's a LadyM in the fridge upstairs."

Fu Yanbai paused: "Chocolate, I don't know your taste."

Ji Ran: "Oh."

Ji Ran put down his schoolbag and suddenly remembered something, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard Fu Yanbai's deep voice: "Sorry, I have other things to do today. Tell me the schedule on WeChat. After eating the cake, go to bed early."

Ji Ran: "?"

The door is closed.

Fu Yanbai had disappeared.

"..."

Ji Ran suddenly remembered something.

This is Fu Yanbai.

Never say unnecessary nonsense, and there will be no unnecessary pleasantries.It's like an ice cellar, wishing that the frozen ground would freeze for thousands of miles.

But it doesn't matter.

He is just here to borrow now, and there is no need to have too many intersections.

With her index finger upright, Ji Ran used a spoon to scoop out the chocolate mille-feuille like a stupid child, while with the other hand she pointed at the chat box and tapped on the schedule.

When all the knocks were over, the wall clock had stopped at 10:30.The night fell out of the window like black ink, but Fu Yanbai showed no sign of coming back.

Ji Ran glanced at the schoolbag, opened WeChat, and sent a message:

【When are you coming back? 】

He paused for a moment, and added another sentence in a serious manner:

[There is something. 】

After sending the message, Ji Ran watched the TV on his own initiative for a while, until he was about to squint, and then looked at the time again.

Eleven o'clock.

He was on the second floor and could hardly hear any noise from downstairs.He even suspected that the soundproofing of the apartment was too good, maybe Fu Yanbai had come back and fell asleep, so he simply stepped on his slippers and went out.

Passing through the bedroom is the living room on the second floor, there is also a cloakroom with a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, and a balcony with lounge chairs. Ji Ran lived around for 2 minutes.

But the facts proved that Fu Yanbai did not return home at night.Ji Ran walked to the living room, the pair of slippers at the door were still the same as when they were taken off, facing the kitchen alone.

Twenty singles.

No home at night.

Ji Ran stepped on her slippers and looked at the apartment out of boredom.Wandering to the kitchen in two steps, the high-end cabinet refrigerator was integrated with the wall, Ji Ran managed to open it, and took out a ham sausage.

Of course, this kind of man can't be counted on. Fortunately, my aunt will come over tomorrow.

Ji Ran tore open the ham sausage, lay on the table window of the restaurant, looked at the red brick teaching building opposite for a while, and once again felt how close it was to Luyang No. [-] Middle School.

Even standing here, he could see the classroom on the top floor of the teaching building in front, as well as the rows of black-painted desks and chairs inside.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ji Ran actually felt a shudder when he saw the high school where he lived and studied again.

Something seemed to have been brushed against his calf, causing a warm goosebump.

Feeling in love?

Ji Ran lowered her head slowly.

Then meet a dog's head.

"..."

It was a lilac and black border collie.

The fur is smooth and shiny, and the eyes are shining.The slender dog legs were sticking to Ji Ran's calf, and he stared at the ham in his hand suggestively, drooling already.

Ji Ran: "..."

For some unknown reason, Bian Mu kept silent.Ji Ran looked at the ham sausage in his hand again, half of the wrapping paper was torn off, it looked like another dog's head...

It's fucking dog food...

The young master was immediately wronged.I could only squat down with my face in my face, break the ham into several pieces and feed it.

"Why didn't I see you when I entered the door?"

"Hum hum hum."

"My name is Ji Ran, and I'm here to borrow."

"Hum hum hum."

"Is it miserable to be Fu Yanbai's dog?"

"..."

Maybe because Bian Mu tilted his head when he heard the master's name, Ji Ran was suddenly stunned for a moment.

In a daze, he actually felt that this Bianmu was a bit like the one he picked up before, a three-month-old lame one.

But the coat color is different, and the age is not right.

Even the doglegs are as strong as flying.

Just a moment of trance, Ji Ran's eyes quickly faded.He reached out and picked up two pieces of ham, and continued to feed them.

In the past so long, even if his puppy is healthy, he may have gone to dog star happily.

Besides, how could Fu Yanbai raise a dog that he picked up casually.

The puppy let out a contented "ow" after the meal.Ji Ran squatted beside it for a while, and suddenly guessed something.

It should be that Fu Yanbai came in early to teach it to be quiet, so he was not chased away by the dog.The little thing remembered Fu Yanbai's words, so he never dared to call out.

Ji Ran reached out and scratched the furry neck: "So you listen to him?"

"Oh." The dog flicked its head triumphantly.

"..."

Ji Ran touched the hanging dog tag, a crunchy little piece of wood, and turned it over to take a look.

Name: Turtle

Call: 139****1111

The English name is quite foreign.

Ji Ran squeezed the dog's head again, and said briefly: "Rabbit head, I'm going to sleep."

The dog didn't say anything.

Ji Ran yawned, brought his new friend back to the den, and forced the foreign dog to admit the native name.He turned off the lights on the first floor, leaving only the hallway, and then went upstairs to close the bedroom door.

twelve o'clock.

Fu Yanbai hasn't come back yet.

Tomorrow is the first day of the first year of junior high school, and there are two little yellow books lying quietly in Ji Ran's schoolbag——

"Promoting Junior Primary School: Preliminary Preliminary Test for Summer Vacation"

There are three blank pages at the end, and [something] on the phone is also lying quietly, like a dying brother.

Ji Ran glanced at the index finger wrapped into a carrot, and lifted the quilt firmly to the bed.

It's cold and homeless.

No wonder you are single in your twenties.
