Xu Shanlan

In the end, Xu Shanlan and Luo Yanan's program was still selected, the main reason was that they practiced really hard during this time and cooperated very well.Chen Rui has been learning dance, and specially invited professional teachers to arrange it for them. The movements are simple, smooth and dynamic, which fully reflects the youthful vitality and spiritual outlook of middle school students.

The principal knew Xu Shanlan and knew that this kid had never participated in any activities before, so he was very happy. He felt that this program could fully explain the all-round development of the students, not just studying hard.

In the evening, Xu Shanlan and Wang He had to help Luo Yanan's parents set up a stall to sell things.Of course he would not know that Cong Zhanyi had sat in his car more than once, watching him go back and forth among the greasy plastic tables and chairs, busy collecting money, serving dishes, serving food, and occasionally He has to act as a thug, scaring a few hooligans who drink too much and come to make trouble.

When Xu Shanlan was with his classmates, he was much more lively than at home. He was polite with Luo's father and mother, patted Wang He, and talked and laughed with Luo Yanan.Cong Zhanyi would always watch quietly for a while, with no expression on his face, even the secretary Qiu Tian who was sitting by the side couldn't tell what his boss was thinking.Cong Zhanyi turned his head and said, "Cai Rong, let's drive."

Finally, the day before the report performance came, Xu Shanlan deliberately helped Luo Yanan until late, and shuffled back to the door of the house under the setting sun.Seeing the wrought iron gate in front of him, Xu Shanlan stopped and sighed softly.The breeze of early summer blows away the hectic fatigue and makes people feel much more comfortable.But what Xu Shanlan felt more was the depression in his heart. He faced Cong Zhanyi less and less, and didn't know what to say to the elder brother. The intimate and intimate relationship between the two disappeared after all.Now they are not so much brothers, but more like masters and apprentices, just like Jungle and Cong Zhanyi used to be.

To be honest, Xu Shanlan doesn't like the current situation, but he can't think of a way to change it.Xu Shanlan has never been able to deal with problems, he prefers to escape, so that returning to this house will make it hard for him to breathe.

Xu Shanlan climbed up the steps step by step. The stairs were at the corner of the spacious living room. Aunt Chen was coming out of the kitchen: "Oh, Lanzi is back. You must be hungry. I'll bring you a meal. We'll have glutinous rice chicken today." .”

"Thank you, Aunt Chen." Xu Shanlan walked quickly to the stairs, and subconsciously glanced at the study. He didn't want to talk to Cong Zhanyi, but deep in his heart he was looking forward to the senior brother's return. He thought it was a completely different matter.Anyway, Xu Shanlan would feel happier as long as Cong Zhanyi was at home instead of going out with Gong Kai.

Sure enough, Cong Zhanyi sat behind the desk, as if he was flipping through the materials, and asked without raising his head, "Are you back?"

Xu Shanlan walked in, bowed dutifully but unfamiliarly, and called: "Eldest brother."

"Wash your hands and eat." Cong Zhanyi put down the document and walked past Xu Shanlan without saying a word.

Xu Shanlan pursed her lips tightly, turned around and went out, intentionally amplifying the water flow, making it rattle.Then he said to Aunt Chen with great interest: "Let me help you, what else do you want?"

"Oh, little ancestor, you can go and sit down... Oh, that's soup, be careful, it's hot—" Aunt Chen followed behind in a pretentious manner.

"It's okay." Xu Shanlan put the soup bowl on the dining table steadily, "I help my classmates do this every day, and I have practiced it."

"Ah?" Aunt Chen blinked, "What are you doing? How can I do that? The clothes are all dirty."

"It's okay, it's fun." If Aunt Chen was smarter, she would have noticed that Xu Shanlan was very active and talked a lot, talking about interesting things with her classmates with gestures, which made Aunt Chen very happy and screamed : "Aiyo aiyo——"

Cong Zhanyi was so calm that he didn't seem to hear the lively conversation between the two of them. He raised his chopsticks and said lightly, "Let's eat."

Aunt Chen put the fish on the table with a smile, and said, "Eat, eat. You practice martial arts and go to school and you have to work overtime. You should eat more, Lanzi." She went out to eat with Cai Rong and the others.

The dining room suddenly became quiet, and the laughter and joy just now seemed to be a piece of transparent soap bubbles, which disappeared after a few popping pops.Xu Shanlan's face became colder than an avalanche, and he picked up the bowl and said, "Brother, eat." He waited until Cong Zhanyi picked up a piece of fish before he put the rice into his mouth.

Cong Zhanyi put his favorite braised pork in Xu Shanlan's bowl, and said indifferently, as if without any irony: "Eat more meat, so you can work hard."

Xu Shanlan struggled to swallow the food in his mouth quickly, and said with lowered eyelids, "Thank you, senior brother."

The two ate the meal in a very strange atmosphere.Xu Shanlan is young, eats fast, and fills up to [-]% full.He ate another drumstick before he finished it.According to the rules, the elders do not get up, and the others cannot leave the table.However, Cong Zhanyi ate slowly, mouthful by mouthful, adding another bowl after one bowl.

Xu Shanlan couldn't sit still anymore. In fact, he could hold his breath quite well, but compared to the big brother, he was nothing compared to the big brother.He pursed his lips and plucked his hair—this was his favorite little action when he was very embarrassed and embarrassed, but he didn't know it.Cong Zhanyi saw that Xu Shanlan was finally about to speak, so he put down his job and drank soup.

Xu Shanlan lowered his head, fixed his eyes on the chopsticks in front of him, as if they were about to bloom, and said casually: "Brother, parents of the students are invited to attend the school celebration tomorrow."

As he spoke, his heart was beating fast.In the past, Xu Shanlan always had to greet Cong Zhanyi at least a week in advance. First, he never hid his words with his elder brother. What happened at school and what the teacher said would definitely come to him one by one, without any overnight stay; second, Cong Zhanyi Yi is very busy, so she has to agree in advance to arrange her time.

Only this time, Xu Shanlan didn't speak to Cong Zhanyi until now. He was really not sure if the other party could go, let alone... Cong Zhanyi didn't give Xu Shanlan too much time to think about it, so he agreed without saying a word: "Okay." After a pause, he asked again, "What time is it?"

"Nine o'clock tomorrow, Beiling Soldiers Club." Xu Shanlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, vaguely feeling that the elder brother treated him well, so he regretted his performance these few days.He bit his lip, wanting to say that he would still perform, and secretly glanced at Cong Zhanyi's face, which was always calm, as if he didn't care much about it.So I put my mind to one side and didn't tell him, so what can I do?Why should I have to tell him everything and he won't tell me?

Cong Zhanyi took out a tissue to wipe the corners of his lips, Xu Shanlan stood up abruptly, and said, "I'm done eating, let's go upstairs first." Turning his head and ran up a few steps, he almost pretended to be full of Aunt Chen who came out with fruit.

The scale of the 12X Middle School celebration was also unprecedented. Many leaders in the education field and some distinguished guests who had contributed to the school's construction were invited, and one of them was Cong Zhanyi.He didn't tell Xu Shanlan about this. In fact, if there was no Junior Brother, Cong Zhanyi definitely wouldn't have gone for such a pretentious entertainment.

Someone had reported to Cong Zhanyi a long time ago that Xu Shanlan would perform a show at the party, and he had been rehearsing for many days.Cong Zhanyi was a little curious at the beginning, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He picked up the program and glanced at it. It only included the performing unit: Senior XX Class, or the performer: Chen Rui, etc.People like Xu Shanlan and Luo Yanan were "waited" and ignored.From the program list, it can be seen that China never pays attention to the public, but only to the elite. If you are relatively ordinary, you will not even be listed as a name.

While Xu Shanlan was being smeared with makeup by the teacher, he straightened his neck and looked at the door.The teacher said: "Don't move around, the eyebrow pencil is all over the face."

It was Luo Yanan who understood Xu Shanlan's thoughts, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, I'll go and find it for you."

But Cong Zhanyi didn't sit in the parent's area at all, so Luo Yanan couldn't find him, and spread his hands at Xu Shanlan.Xu Shanlan frowned. It is said that the elder brother has never broken his promise, but why hasn't he come yet?A burst of anxiety and loss, mixed with inexplicable anger, simply stopped looking, and hid in a corner in a daze.

The curtain slowly opened, flowers were placed around the stage, and two beautiful hosts appeared on the stage.The first is the leader's speech and the principal's speech. Cats and dogs speak together. The first program is a chorus without exception. Female students wear heavy makeup and male students have greasy hair and powder noodles.It took a lot of brainstorming to arrange the order of the meeting. After several performances, a section was inserted to commend outstanding students and various pacesetters and teenagers, and the parents of the students were also ingeniously invited to appear on the stage together.The adults on the stage all pretended to be reserved and triumphant, and the parents watching below were all envious and nagging a few words: Look at others...the children are really not in vain...

Cong Zhanyi didn't care about these things at all, it was enough for him to know that Xu Shanlan was good, and he didn't need to rely on other people's evaluation to highlight his personal value.He casually chatted with the "excellent entrepreneur" beside him. At this time, the lights dimmed suddenly, and only a beam of light hit the stage, followed by a burst of sonorous music. With somersaults and a 360 spinner in the air, he landed steadily on the stage, put his hand on the wide-brimmed hat on his head, and stood still, giving the audience a clean silhouette.

There was a few seconds of silence below, and then there was a burst of warm applause, so handsome!Cong Zhanyi straightened up involuntarily, staring at the stage without moving.

I saw Xu Shanlan wearing black loose bloomers and a black tight-fitting vest, which perfectly outlined the outline of a flexible and thin body. The golden waist jacket shone brightly under the light.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Yanan, Chen Rui, and two other students who participated in the performance walked out of the space slide together, and the applause from below was raging.It is said that there are five people dancing, but the most important ones are Xu Shanlan and Chen Rui.Chen Rui has practiced dancing, and Xu Shanlan has practiced martial arts, and the difficult movements are all done by these two people.

Especially Xu Shanlan, who did seven or eight Thomas full spins in one breath, and then stood upside down, supported by only one hand, with his legs crossed and swinging in the air, as if walking.The whole body draws a perfect arc in the air, the waist is unbelievably soft, the clothes are lifted up, revealing a section of smooth and delicate skin.The girls in the auditorium screamed so loudly that they almost pierced people's eardrums.

Cong Zhanyi's eyes narrowed immediately, a little annoyed and a little funny, this kid...

The show ended soon, Xu Shanlan and his classmates posed for the last pose, and the curtain fell slowly.Xu Shanlan was panting heavily, he looked down subconsciously, and saw Cong Zhanyi sitting in the second row in the middle.The elder brother smiled slightly and gave a thumbs up.Xu Shanlan's heart jumped up suddenly, and he couldn't help pursing his lips into a smile, with a bit of pride and a bit of shyness.The curtain finally fell completely, Xu Shanlan couldn't wait for others, and ran off the stage directly.

The atmosphere in the auditorium was completely mobilized, and people were still talking about it, and they couldn't even hear the host coming up to announce the curtain.Cong Zhanyi didn't look any further, got up and went backstage.

Xu Shanlan couldn't wait to rush out of the auditorium, ran to the corridor outside, bypassed the bathroom, and went to the place where the audience area and the performance area meet.As expected, Cong Zhanyi was standing there, looking over here, with deep and gentle eyes.

On the contrary, Xu Shanlan slowed down, walked slowly in front of Cong Zhanyi, bowed, and said, "Brother." He tried his best to keep his breath steady, but he couldn't hide the pleasant smile on the corner of his lips , paused, and finally murmured half-blamingly and coquettishly: "I thought you weren't coming."

"How come?" Cong Zhanyi said, "You dance very well."

Xu Shanlan pursed his lips and smiled, turned his face to one side, and said casually, "It's okay."

Cong Zhanyi stepped forward to hug him, just like they did before.Xu Shanlan put his head on the senior brother's shoulder, breathed in the smell that was so familiar to him, and felt at ease and appropriate.He suddenly didn't resent senior senior brother, it was what it was in the first place, how could there be any overnight hatred between the two of them?

He raised his head in Cong Zhanyi's arms, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Luo Yanan's shout from backstage in the performance area: "Xu Shanlan, Xu Shanlan!"

He looked back, but didn't see Luo Yanan's figure.

Cong Zhanyi patted Xu Shanlan on the shoulder: "Go, I'll wait for you here."

"Oh." Xu Shanlan scratched his head, only then remembered that he hadn't taken off his makeup yet.At this time, the voice was getting closer and closer, Xu Shanlan ran a few steps to meet it.

Cong Zhanyi watched from behind, and saw Luo Yanan running towards Xu Shanlan from a distance, but stopped suddenly when he was approaching, this action was exactly the same as when Xu Shanlan was facing him.Cong Zhanyi's heart skipped a beat, and he quietly stepped back a few steps, hiding in the shadow of the big pillar next to him.
