Xu Shanlan

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, the surroundings were hazy, Cong Zhanyi pushed Xu Shanlan who was still asleep: "Get up." Xu Shanlan rubbed his eyes in a daze, got up from the warm bed, endured I shivered uncontrollably, woke up all of a sudden, put on my clothes in a hurry, and followed my brother downstairs.

Jungle also woke up and stood in the yard with his hands behind his back.Cong Zhanyi and Xu Shanlan walked over, respectfully saluted Jungle: "Master." Jungle nodded casually.Gu Haiping came over and said, "Let's go." Xu Shanlan, who was still a little short, was sandwiched between the two young men, and the three ran out quickly.

Conglin looked at Cong Zhanyi's back and frowned involuntarily.After Yin Yi finished speaking with Cong Zhanyi last night, he called him and said that Cong Zhanyi refused to participate in the competition.

Conglin didn't know how he and his son got to this point. They still lived under the same roof and ate at the same table. When they met, Cong Zhanyi bowed and called: "Master."

But that's all.

Cong Zhanyi leaves early every morning and comes back late at night. He pays Jungle 50 yuan for food every month, as if this is not a home, but a hotel.He is not close to the jungle, and he doesn't talk much with Gu Haiping, only when he is with Xu Shanlan, the light in his eyes is gentle.

Jungle is also angry and angry, and often complains to Yin Yi.Yin Yi asked him to care more about the children, and asked Cong Zhanyi how he was doing outside from time to time.Conglin stared: "Joke! He didn't come to tell me, but I asked him instead?! I am his father, not his grandson!" Yin Yi could only sigh.

The two of them were in a stalemate, and neither of them would bow their heads first.Sometimes Conglin felt that this was not good, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Cong Zhanyi's plain face and didn't seem to care much about it, so he couldn't help getting angry, so he stopped talking.For example, letting his son participate in a competition is actually a good thing, good for the child and the school, but he just couldn't say it in front of Cong Zhanyi.Cong Zhanyi didn't even think about it, so why was he in a hurry?It was as if he was begging his son for something.Conglin was used to putting on airs in front of his son, and he really couldn't bear this face.

If you don't participate, you won't participate, he thought, feeling a little angry, and it's the same with Gu Haiping.

Gu Haiping was very excited in his heart, he heard from his master last night that Cong Zhanyi might also participate in this competition.It had been a long time since Gu Haiping had fought against Cong Zhanyi, those kids in the martial arts school were soft-footed cats, not enough for him to kick.He excitedly followed Cong Zhanyi's footsteps, and said, "Eldest brother, now we have to compete. In the past few years, your kung fu has almost been thrown."

Cong Zhanyi didn't understand the meaning of Gu Haiping's words, and looked at him with some doubts.Gu Haiping opened his eyes wide: "The competition, did you forget? We are going to participate in the provincial competition."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shanlan immediately interjected, "Ah? Do I want to participate too?"

"Of course." Gu Haiping patted Xu Shanlan on the shoulder, "You have to compare well, come back with a champion. If you lose to others, I will spank your ass." He was in a great mood, and his tone of threat was not too much severe.Xu Shanlan made a funny face at his uncle, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure when he thought of the competition. He hated all changes, and his first reaction was: "Can we not compare, it's really troublesome."

"Silly boy, this is a good thing." Gu Haiping seemed extra patient today, "You get good grades, and you can also bring a good reputation to the school."

"Oh——" Xu Shanlan knew that he couldn't escape, so he was a little dazed.

Gu Haiping ignored the children's thoughts, and said to himself: "Everyone can apply for two, I have already thought about it. I will apply for spear skills, and the big brother will apply for Taijiquan. We can also have a duel. Lan The son is the youth group, Changquan. Tomorrow, I will arrange a set for you with the big brother, and I promise to make you perform well."

He spoke with high spirits, as if he was already standing on the podium, accepting everyone's applause and cheers, when Cong Zhanyi suddenly interjected: "I won't participate."

"There are still clothes..." Gu Haiping was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What?"

"I said I won't participate." Cong Zhanyi said again slowly.

Gu Haiping was dumbfounded, and stopped unknowingly, and it took a long time before he quickly caught up and grabbed Cong Zhanyi, the smile on his face was gone: "What did you say?!"

Cong Zhanyi said: "I don't participate in the competition." He also stopped, his arm shook, and he escaped from Gu Haiping's control.

Gu Haiping didn't expect him to wait all night to end up like this. His chest seemed to be blocked by a big stone, and he asked repeatedly: "Why? Why didn't you participate? You obviously have the ability to win the championship, and the school also needs you Such an honor!"

"It's the same when you win the championship." Cong Zhanyi said lightly.

"It's different!" Gu Haiping suddenly raised his voice, as if screaming.He had eleven million reasons to refute Cong Zhanyi's decision, but all of them were blocked in his throat for a while, and he couldn't think of any one. He just said over and over again, "How can you not participate? Why don't you participate? You practiced so well .you……"

Cong Zhanyi glanced at his junior brother, pulled Xu Shanlan over and said, "Let's go for a run."

Gu Haiping jumped forward and stretched out his arms to stop the two of them, his face was flushed with emotion, he said loudly, very loud and sharp in the empty morning: "Cong Zhanyi, what do you mean?! The school is the painstaking effort of the master and your father!" Cong Zhanyi turned his face to one side.Gu Haiping swallowed a bit, and slowed down his tone: "Okay, just treat it as if you are not for the school, but for yourself. Participating in competitions is our best way out. As long as we can get the ranking, we can be a coach or anything in the future. That is the capital that shows your level. Senior brother, if you have been able to participate in the competition a long time ago, you can definitely get extra points in the college entrance examination, why didn't you pass the exam?"

Cong Zhanyi interrupted him: "You don't need to say any more, just let it be." Bypassing Gu Haiping, he and Xu Shanlan ran forward again.

Boundless anger suddenly rose in Gu Haiping's chest, and he shouted at Cong Zhanyi's back: "I see, you dare not, you are afraid of failure! You are afraid of losing to me! Cong Zhanyi, you are a coward ,idiot!"

Xu Shanlan turned around and yelled: "You are not allowed to speak of my brother!"

Cong Zhanyi hugged Xu Shanlan over: "Concentrate on running." The two ran away side by side, leaving Gu Haiping alone, standing in the endless white morning mist.

Going to participate in the competition, this incident made Xu Shanlan not happy all day. When he called and lied to the teacher, he seemed absent-minded and almost revealed his secrets.The teacher over there seemed very anxious: "Are you all right, is Wang He all right?"

"It's okay, it's fine." Xu Shanlan said casually, but was suddenly pushed hard by Wang He next to him, and quickly changed his words, "No, I mean he's fine now, but the high fever doesn't go away, I'll accompany him later Go to the hospital."

"Where are Wang He's parents? Are they not at home?"

"His father hasn't come back from a business trip." Xu Shanlan looked at Wang He, the kid was pointing with two fingers, "Fuck... um... on duty, and he can't come back."

"Oh, then take good care of him, pay attention to his temperature, if it's too high, you must go to the hospital." The teacher reminded him thousands of times over there, and Xu Shanlan replied obediently: "Understood, teacher."

The other party finally dropped the phone, Xu Shanlan exhaled a long breath, and rolled his eyes at Wang He: "Next time I'll pretend to be sick, I'm too tired to lie."

"That's because you're not used to it." Wang He chuckled, "It's good to say it a few more times."

Xu Shanlan walked forward with his head down, his hands in his trouser pockets, and his toes kicking the stones on the road.

Wang He caught up from behind: "Hey, it seems that you are not in high spirits, Zhou Xingchi is not attractive enough for you?" Xu Shanlan sighed worriedly: "I am going to participate in the competition, the provincial competition."

"Ah?" Wang He's eyes lit up, "It's so handsome! Oh, what are you worried about? Aren't you the champion in the city? It's only natural to participate in the provincial level. Alas, it's a pity that I don't have the ability, otherwise, hehe ... Hehe... How enjoyable it is to compete with your opponents."

"Cut—" Xu Shanlan laughed at him unceremoniously, "After practicing for so many years, I still haven't figured this out. I'm participating in martial arts routines, not Sanda. How can I fight?"

Wang He smiled embarrassingly, and swayed his head: "Oh, are they all the same, don't they all win the championship? Hey, when you stand on the podium, you must look for me. I will definitely go to see Yeah, sit in the front row, you gotta wave at me, maybe on TV."

"I don't know if I can win a medal." Xu Shanlan himself is not sure, he has never been active in the competition, let alone this is a higher level, and he feels a little uneasy.

"Oh, don't worry." Wang He patted Xu Shanlan's back heartlessly, "What's the use of worrying? Don't you still have to go to participate? There is wine today...uh...what, let's go Let's go to the movies, the show will start soon." He dragged Xu Shanlan to the Workers' Cultural Palace.

Sure enough, when they rushed in out of breath, the lights inside were all dark, and the vast Gobi Desert was on the screen.When Zhou Xingchi first came out, the two of them almost didn't recognize each other, they were full of beards, and there was a shiny thing hanging on their chests, and the audience laughed together.

After all, he was a child, so Xu Shanlan laughed for a while and forgot about the competition, and concentrated on watching Zhou Xingchi's tricks.

Wang He watched and chattered: "That woman... By the way, she is... named Zhu Yin, she is beautiful. Oh my god, hahahaha——" Wang He burst into a burst of laughter, laughing louder than anyone else. Huanshi, "It's too cool, hahaha——"

The people around looked at them, Xu Shanlan said quietly: "Fathe, can you keep your voice down?"

"Okay, I'll keep my voice down. Ah...hahahaha, it's so funny, hahaha——"

The movie came to an end amidst Wang He's unconscious burst of laughter. When he came out, Wang He slapped his knees and kicked his legs while talking: "Oh, you said that part...why is it so funny? And that part... Oh my god, I can't do it anymore."

Xu Shanlan endured it for a long time and finally couldn't help it: "Fat Crane." He patted Wang He on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Don't you see it? This is a tragedy."

"Tragedy?" Wang He was even happier, "Put it down, are you kidding me? Haha, tragedy? Haha——"

Xu Shanlan pursed his lips, shook his head helplessly, and let go.

The two were giggling and approaching the door of the house, Wang He finally calmed down, and raised a finger to Xu Shanlan in a pretentious manner: "It's my house, don't let it slip, we just went to visit the grave and just came back."

"Got it." Xu Shanlan yawned lazily, "Will you go or not?"

Wang He stepped forward to push open the door and shouted loudly: "Mom, I'm back! The teacher said that it will take half a day today and not in the afternoon..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw in the room besides his father and mother, there were a familiar figure.

Wang He's muscular body blocked the door tightly. Before Xu Shanlan could see what was going on inside, he struggled to squeeze through the narrow gap between Wang He and the door, and wanted to say hello to the king's father and mother: "Uncle, auntie!" ..." Then, he also froze.

It was none other than their new class teacher sitting on the sofa in the middle.
