little boy [rebirth]

"Mr. Fu, Ran Ran hasn't come down yet, why don't you... eat first?"

It's almost twelve o'clock at noon.

Aunt Sun put on a table of dishes. The fried scallion and ginger lobster was golden and shiny, and the shallot tofu was white and tender.

Fu Yanbai sat at the table, glanced at the dishes, and then at his room:

"Wait for him."

"Hiss... I heard brushing my teeth just now, why isn't it better?" Aunt Sun was a little strange, and walked towards the door as she spoke: "Did Ran Ran sleep in your room yesterday, or let me go and see..."

The voice was about to fall, with a "boom".

Fu Yanbai raised his eyebrows.

"I'm fine, I got up late."

There was a sound of slippers slapping, and Aunt Sun walked back with a smile: "Hurry up, what are you dreaming about so you can sleep so well?"

Ji Ran moved towards the dining table in small steps, trying to pretend he didn't hear, but as soon as he approached, Aunt Sun quickly came up to him: "Why are you so red, do you have a fever?"

"......no."

"The sleeves are all wet..."

"Toothbrush."

As an excellent nanny, Aunt Sun moved her nose, and soon smelled the fragrance of laundry detergent: "You wash..."

"no!"

"..."

Ji Ran pulled away the chair and sat down, using the meal he picked up quickly to block the conversation with the sharp-eyed nanny comrade, and only dared to look up at the person opposite when the meal was less than half a bowl away...

Fu Yanbai was drinking soup with a spoon.

There was no response.

Ji Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

"I called your father in the morning. Your grandparents have already gone to Europe for vacation. If you want to go there, I will take you to the airport in the afternoon."

Ji Ran picked up a piece of chicken wing and said nothing.

Fu Yanbai glanced at him: "If you don't want to go, I will supervise you through the summer vacation. You must report in advance when you go out, and you are not allowed to run around."

"Oh."

"Oh?"

The young master cleared his throat: "I'm too lazy to move, so just... right here."

For a while, there was only the sound of eating in the restaurant. While eating, Ji Ran took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that there were a few more messages on it.

Suanli: Why did you disappear after the exam?

Suanli: Tokigi said you didn't return to Haiyun during the summer vacation?

Suanli: Do you want to go out and watch a movie? I happen to have a ticket. [Picture] is good.

It's Li Meng.Ji Ran clicked on the picture and zoomed in. It was a popular sci-fi movie. Fu Yanbai was about to go to work, and he didn't really want to be alone at home.

Ji Ran: "I want to go to the movies this afternoon."

Fu Yanbai put down the spoon: "What time, where?"

Ji Ran: "02:30, find an imax."

Fu Yanbai: "How many people, with whom?"

Ji Ran: "Two or three, follow..."

The young master suddenly slammed on the brakes: "Why are you asking so many questions..." It was like Cha Gang.

Fu Yanbai: "Check the post."

Ji Ran: "..."

He wants to rebel.

After a while, Ji Ran gritted his teeth and bowed his head to the hegemony: "Shi An Li Meng and the others."

Fu Yanbai nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After dinner, Ji Ran changed into a simple white pullover and coffee-colored slacks. Fu Yanbai followed him to the elevator entrance, watched the young master walking around, and picked out a pair of orange daddy shoes.

Those peach blossom eyes slightly raised, Fu Yanbai said calmly: "Have you grown taller?"

Ji Ran was taken aback.

He was facing the elevator door, on which were two blurred figures, and a rabbit head lazily lying in the entrance after losing the ham business.

"Yes, is there?"

The shadow next to him moved a little towards the middle, and there was a burst of warmth in his ears: "So you only came here."

Ji Ran turned around.

Fu Yanbai looked relaxed, pointing a finger casually at his stomach...

your uncle.

"impossible"

The young master closed his eyes and denied it, then squinted at the elevator door——

He seems to be able to reach Fu Yanbai's ribs now.

It's a lot taller...

Teenagers are always ashamed to face their growth.Ji Ran nodded slightly, and soon heard Fu Yanbai say: "You have just started to develop, it is normal to be short, and you will grow up later."

"..."

Who is short?

The elevator door opened with a ding, and Ji Ran stepped in, ending the topic of not gaining the upper hand.

He pressed it habitually, and waited for Fu Yanbai to come up together, but the people outside the door did not move.

Ji Ran: "Are you not going to work today?"

Fu Yanbai: "Retirement."

Ji Ran: "...you didn't say it earlier?"

Fu Yanbai: "What did you say earlier?"

Ji Ran: "..."

It seems that there is nothing to do.

Ji Ran was stunned for a moment in the elevator, he seemed to feel a little pity for no reason, and he couldn't give a reason.

"Nothing. I'm leaving."

The elevator doors slowly closed.After bidding farewell to the lonely Fu Yanbai in his twenties, when Ji Ran took a taxi to Jingpin Center, Li Meng was already sitting under the acrylic sculpture.

She was wearing a small yellow-green floral dress that was very conspicuous, with a ball tied on her head, and her hairpin was also a small white chrysanthemum, like a little dragonfly that just flew out of the field.

Ji Ran ran over in two steps, and looked around again, but there were no figures of Inch Tou and Shi An.

Li Meng held two cups of ice cream and yogurt, and handed him a coffee-flavored one, and waved the advertising paper like a fan: "Don't look, they are all lazy, just the two of us."

Ji Ran froze for a moment: "Oh."

Li Meng smiled, and pulled his sleeve with one hand: "Let's go, let's start."

A two-and-a-half-hour sci-fi film, hearty and dripping.After watching, go down from the movie theater to the restaurants on the fourth and fifth floors. Li Meng looked at Ji Ran's expression and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to have another dinner?"

Ji Ran paused.

He didn't know why he thought of Fu Yanbai's word "temporary rest", thinking about it like a cat's paw scratching a wall.

"Well... my family is cooking tonight. How about going to the coffee shop on the first floor for a drink? There is a souffle that is delicious."

"Okay!"

Happiness at this age is very simple.

Li Meng saw the big mushroom cloud-like cake and the steaming pink ice cream on the table, and went directly into the photo mode without saying a word.

Ji Ran didn't have the habit of taking pictures, so he started to look around.

Originally, he just wanted to distract his eyes, but he didn't expect that he really saw something when he looked.

Half an oblique corner away from their booth, near the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a person quietly leaning against the table.

It's not that he has sharp eyes, but that Fu Yanbai is too conspicuous.

He is rarely seen wearing a dark gray shirt with two buttons casually open at the neckline. His handsome face is indifferent and calm, much like a male star sitting in a coffee shop filming a movie, and he attracts attention unconsciously.

Ji Ran's first reaction was that he was followed by Fu Yanbai for the purpose of checking the post.

But when he took a closer look, he found that something was wrong.

Fu Yanbai didn't seem to notice his side at all, and directly opposite him, there was a woman with long black curly hair, who was talking and nodded.

"Brother Ji?"

Li Meng held up the fork and swallowed dryly: "Can we eat?"

"You eat first, I'll be right away."

Ji Ran didn't care about anything else, and moved out of the way first, he walked around from the other side of the coffee shop, tiptoed like a kitten stealing fish, and took a closer look at Fu Yanbai's desk——

Really a woman.

It's actually not hard to see what the occasion is.

From Fu Yanbai's attire, it should be a more formal meeting, and the two people should not be familiar with each other, because Fu Yanbai's actions are extremely polite and elegant, and there is no food on the table, only two cups of coffee.

A thought popped into Ji Ran's mind...

Blind date.

Blind date scene.

Reason told him that he should pretend not to see it at this time, and leave in a desperate manner, but the surname of the foot is not Li.

Ji Ran felt like a broken three-wheeled wheel without brakes, and fell into a pit without listening to the wheel.

"Who is this......"

Big Wave looked at a head that suddenly popped up beside the table, and looked at Fu Yanbai with some embarrassment.But the expression of the person opposite was not so calm.

Fu Yanbai looked at Ji Ran who appeared suddenly, and raised his eyebrows: "Why are you here?"

Ji Ran calmly said, "Watch a movie."

Fu Yanbai: ...

The next second, he looked at Ji Ran and stretched out his hand very naturally: "There is not enough money."

???

Facing Fu Yanbai's ghostly gaze, Ji Ran blushed and shouted without changing his expression: "I will give you some more, my previous one is gone."

Fu Yanbai: "..."

Big Wave obviously didn't expect such a situation, and looked at Ji Ran in surprise.

She was forced to go on a blind date by Mr. Fu. I only heard that this is a talented single doctor who is almost thirty and has never cared about love.Moreover, he is the only grandson of the old man, and he is in the same family as his own...

The big wave pointed at Ji Ran: "Your family... child?"

Fu Yanbai squinted his eyes: "Yes."

After he finished speaking, he didn't explain further, as if he was refusing along the pole, and he seemed to sense someone's intentions, so he didn't want to say anything more.

The atmosphere was very strange for a while.

Because of Ji Xiaojin who broke out halfway, the big wave curl couldn't last for 10 minutes, so he said goodbye with a small Chanel bag...

There were only two empty drinks left on the table.

Ji Ran played with her phone with her head down and didn't speak.

He raised the end of his eyes for a glance, Fu Yanbai's posture didn't change, he still leaned quietly on the back of the chair.

At worst, it's a scolding meal.

He has closed his ears.

But Ji Ran only heard the peaceful music from the coffee shop from the beginning to the end. After a while, the deep male voice sounded——

Fu Yanbai: "Let's go?"

Ji Ran froze for a moment.

Fu Yanbai didn't seem to take it seriously.

He wanted to get up and say go, and remembered Li Meng who was still eating cake over there, just as he opened his mouth, a boy from a coffee shop wearing a bib flashed by the table...

A very enthusiastic voice came down.

"Little handsome guy, your girlfriend seems to be calling you over there."

"..."

Ji Ran looked up.

Fu Yanbai changed his posture.

This was probably the quietest dinner Ji Ran had ever had.

In the brightly lit restaurant, Fu Yanbai quietly cut the steak.Aunt Sun seemed to have figured it out. When it was so difficult, she cooked a table of western food...

Ji Ran didn't even have the chance to be accosted by the vegetables, so he could only roll the pasta by himself with his ears drooping.

Through the gaps in his eyelashes, he saw that the amount of steak on Fu Yanbai's plate was getting less and less, and finally couldn't hold it back anymore, so he opened his mouth first.

"Cough, the makeup is too heavy."

Fu Yanbai's fork stopped in mid-air.

"Too much makeup."

Ji Ran repeated it again, pouted: "I don't like it."

Be quiet for a moment.

"If so what do you like?"

Fu Yanbai asked casually.

Ji Ran's ears were flushed with blood, and he lowered his head and forked the veal piece by piece: "The fairer ones, the cuter ones."

Fu Yanbai didn't say anything, but Ji Ran could tell that he was asking perfunctory questions, so he just kept his head down eating the pasta without saying a word.

After a while, I heard Fu Yanbai say: "Grandpa's arrangement, it's impolite not to go."

Ji Ran: "Oh."

Another moment of silence.

Fu Yanbai: "About your puppy love..."

Ji Ran: "I don't have puppy love."

The eyes on the other side of the table flickered for a moment, and Fu Yanbai continued: "It's too young now, puppy love is not allowed."

What he said was not allowed.

is a flat-out denial.

Ji Ran didn't talk back this time, but just flipped through the clams on the plate, and asked casually, "Is it okay to go to high school?"

Fu Yanbai: "It depends on the situation."

Ji Ran: "Then did you ever fall in love in high school?"

Fu Yanbai: "Eat your meal."

The clams were turned over, and ice ten meters thick suddenly seemed to form on the table.

Ji Ran let out an "oh" reluctantly.

In any case, the small signs of puppy love were quickly extinguished and stopped during the summer vacation.

Not only that, but with the lessons learned from the ruined blind date scene, Aunt Sun bought an Applewatch back at some point, and there was an echo when it was put on the table.

Fu Yanbai: "Take it and go out."

Ji Ran: "..."

your uncle.

But the man's tone was not open to discussion. What happened to Cheng Yu inevitably made people feel scared. After discussing with Su Ning, Fu Yanbai and Su Ning still wanted to give Ji Ran a position.

The young master sat still and struggled for half a minute, and finally put on the watch.

The taste of this watch is not bad, with a light gray dial and a dark orange strap, it is very suitable for a young boy of this age who is eager to move.

So on the way to the first day of school, Fu Yanbai led the dog and looked at the phone, confirming that Ji Ran's little sparrow could not fly out of Wuzhi Mountain, and then walked the dog back with confidence.

Ji Ran sat in the classroom.

On the first day of school, there are no other tasks.The first blow is to hand out the test papers for the final exam.

"Fuck, have my Chinese scores been written backwards?"

Cun Tou scratched his head: "This is too shabby, so I dragged me down for more than 20 years. I was originally the 108th Lu Yang hero!"

After a summer vacation, these torn papers make people want to tear them up, but this is still the highlight of the school, because the next three days will be lectures and corrections.

Tokigi rubbed the paper violently: "I can see it, I am suitable for studying science"

"..."

Cun Tou turned back and said quietly: "Because the physical chemistry class only starts this semester?"

Tokigi: "..."

"Ji Ran, how are you?"

Li Meng came over with the paper in her arms, because Ji Ran hadn't said a word, so she just took the paper and had a look...

Mathematics and English full marks.

Chinese 112.

Political, historical and geographical are all above 90.

"..."

Ji Ran is still the number one in her grade.

Cun Tou held Ji Ran's paper and looked at the sky, as if he could see some mystery from it: "So the questions will disappear, right?"

"Snapped."

Ji Ran took back the paper: "I'm going to Lao Cheng's office, she just called me."

Shi An watched him walk out of the back door, and stood up with an "oh", "I'm going to the bathroom."

He ran out of the classroom and caught up with Ji Ran in two steps: "What did the head teacher tell you to do?"

"do not know."

Age is the first, and it is not always scolded.

Ji Ran patted him on the shoulder: "Come out and tell you."

But when he walked into the office, he realized that something was wrong.

There were quite a lot of people at the table, besides the head teacher of Class 7, there were also the grade group leader whom I met before, the teachers of the two main subjects, and even the dean.

The posture is quite big.

"Report."

"come in."

Ji Ran stood at the desk, and he saw his grade book on the desk. The No. [-] Middle School would make a table of each student's grade change, but it was usually used for teaching affairs meetings and would not be posted.

"That's it. We have evaluated your grades and asked the opinions of several teachers."

The grade leader smiled: "They all reported that your study progress is very advanced."

Whether it's exams or homework, although Ji Ran hasn't deliberately revealed anything, his ideas and solutions are often unique, and his scores are always far ahead.

"Although such cases are rare, they are not uncommon. Schools also attach great importance to individual differences in education."

The grade leader said directly: "Have you considered... applying for the high school entrance examination early?"

Ji Ran stared.

It never occurred to him.

The head teacher explained: "In fact, children with excellent grades can work hard, and some can directly apply for the junior class, which saves a lot of time."

"Of course, we are just a suggestion. The school also needs to discuss it with your parents. This is a big deal. Our junior high school has not had a student who can apply for early approval for a long time."

The grade leader talked about it for a while, and when he got out of the office, Ji Ran realized that Shi An had been standing in the corridor, leaning on the railing, waiting for him.

"Finished?"

"Ah."

Shi An put his shoulders on his shoulders and walked back, and asked when he was almost at the door of the classroom: "Do you want...that, to take the senior high school entrance examination early?"

Ji Ran was stunned.

"do not know."

He really didn't know.

Nobody wants to be the first to do what others can't.But he also knows what it means to take the senior high school entrance examination early.

His current friends will go away with him, and after entering high school, he will always carry this aura of "genius", and continue to shine without choice.

This multiple-choice question came a bit suddenly.

When he returned home at night, Ji Ran was a little absent-minded. He sat in the piano room and played a few pieces, and the phone rang again.

The word "Mom" was written on it, followed by Su Ning's gentle voice.

"Honey, how's school going?"

"good..."

Ji Ran lay on the piano cover, the dark body of the piano reflected the light of the incandescent lamp, and sighed again: "It's average."

Su Ning smiled on the other end of the phone: "Why do you speak so little, my lord, mom will go to Luyang to see you in a while, okay?"

"it is good."

Ji Ran turned over and was facing the half-hidden door.Maybe it was because his piano sound stopped, Fu Yanbai had already called Aunt Sun to put the dishes on the table, and the figure of a tall and thin man flashed outside from time to time.

"By the way, your grandparents bought two sets of school district houses before, and now one of them has got the key. We...We discussed it and plan to redecorate it."

Su Ning's tone paused: "You will be under a lot of pressure to study in high school. I have promised your grandma to come and study with you when the time comes."

The sound of dishes outside the door seemed to die down.

Fu Yanbai's figure was dazzled by a circle of incandescent lights, fluffy and shiny.

"When the house is finished, we can move here when we go to high school, so we don't have to bother Xiao Fu all the time."

Ji Ran's cheek was pressed against the cold piano cover.

Like a rabbit hopping around in the garden, he was suddenly thrown out of the tree hole and pulled back to reality.

Su Ning: "They also want to fall in love and get married."
