Million UP school god plays me every day
Chapter 91 Melon Shaved Ice
While I was in the room, it had been drizzling for a few minutes outside, and the asphalt on the sidewalk was wet.
Xie Lan walked for a while and couldn't help turning her head back, looking up at the lighted windows of the hotel.
"Don't think about it." Dou Sheng said in a low voice, "If you see it, you can see it. Objectively speaking, your father's attitude is not bad."
"Yeah." Xie Lan nodded lightly, "I know."
There are lights on the commercial street ten meters away, and the shadows of him and Dou Sheng on the ground are getting closer and further away between those street lights, cuddling together, it is difficult to separate you and me.
Dou Sheng glanced at him, took his hand and said, "Even if he exposes everything tomorrow, it's fine, no matter what my mother's attitude is, I will take care of it."
The air was humid and hot, but Dou Sheng's palms were still dry and soft as usual. Xie Lan was dragged away for a while before finally coming out of the 'field' of the room just now.
He sighed softly, "I'm not afraid that Aunt Zhao's attitude is bad...I'm... afraid that we will hurt her."
Not only these guilt and fear, but also a little bit of at a loss.
After Xiao Langjing left, Xie Jingming should be his only close relative and his belonging.But what's absurd is that every time Xie Jingming appeared, he would be pulled out of his comfortable shell, which instead made him feel a sense of wandering.
Xie Lan walked forward in silence, and after walking two steps, he felt a tugging sensation in his hand, only to realize that Dou Sheng had stopped.
He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"In just these two days, I'll find a chance to have a showdown with my mother." Dou Sheng's tone was firm, "Sooner or later, I'll tell you. The sooner you say you can feel at ease, the sooner she will be calm."
"What?" Xie Lan was taken aback, "Do you know whether it's right or wrong to do this?"
"I didn't count." Dou Sheng pondered for a moment with downcast eyes, then took his hand and continued to walk forward, "I don't know if it's right or wrong, but who cares, you'll know after trying."
Xie Lan hesitated and said, "But..."
"Don't worry, that's it." Dou Sheng looked determined, "She is my own mother, there is nothing I can't try. When I find a suitable opportunity, I will discuss it with you in advance."
Xie Lan hesitated for a long time, but did not say a good word.
When we got home, it was raining outside.A series of lightning flashed across the pitch-black sky, lighting up the plane of the river and the phoenix trees on the river bank, and then thunder rolled.
As soon as Xie Lan entered the door, he heard a meow, and Wutong stomped on the wooden stairs, rushing towards him.
The kitten rushed to his feet and sat sideways against him. It purred quickly and began to lick its fur.
"Don't be afraid." Xie Lan bent down and lifted Wutong into his arms, "Stay with me if you are afraid."
The sound of the anti-theft door being unlocked sounded behind him, and Dou Sheng dragged the couriers outside with some difficulty, and muttered, "Why are there four?"
Xie Lan hugged the cat and looked over, "Is it still a cosplay suit?"
"The cos clothes should be these three small ones. I don't know what to do with the extra big box. It's dead heavy." Dou Sheng said as he closed the door and kicked the biggest box next to his feet. The box was a bit heavy and remained motionless. .
Xie Lan knelt down and glanced at the label, "Enjoy Home Living Museum?"
"My mother probably bought it." Dou Sheng finally came to his senses and rolled his eyes on the spot, "You're so smart, leave me your contact information, and let me carry such a big courier for her. Good guy, I was almost photographed outside by the heavy rain."
Xie Lan hugged the cat and watched Dou Sheng unpack the express delivery, and Wutong meowed non-stop.
Dou Sheng muttered: "What, it can't be my birthday present. Then I'm going to run away from home..."
The box was opened and the foam cover inside was lifted, both of them were stunned.
A strange thing.
Dark green, heavy, like a small wrought iron bench, but the top is sealed.Between the seal and the "bench surface" is a transparent cylinder with coils and blades inside.There is a handle on one side of the bench, connected to the back, and there is an embossed word on it.
ice.
Add a little above the water.
Xie Lan was convinced, he didn't even know such a simple word.
Pointing at the thing, he asked, "What is the water point?"
"What kind of water point?" Dou Cheng burst into laughter, "That's one word, little friend Xie Lan, this Nian Bing, the ice of ice and snow, means the same thing as ice."
Why do you have to create two characters for one meaning? I don’t understand.
Xie Lan sighed, "Is this an ice maker? Can't the refrigerator at home make ice?"
Dou Sheng frowned and pondered for a while, pulled the handle and shook it twice, then suddenly snapped his fingers, "I see, the shaving ice machine."
Xie Lan asked blankly, "Will it explode?"
"What?" Dou Sheng took out his mobile phone and checked the dictionary, "How do you say shaved ice in English, shavedice? Or waterice?"
"Oh." Xie Lan suddenly understood, "Both words are fine, I know."
The machine was pulled out, and there were exquisite gift bags, ribbons and envelopes under the box.
Dou Sheng picked up the heavy thing and moved it to the kitchen, "This thing can't really be my birthday present, then I'm really going to call the police. Just look at what's written in the envelope."
Xie Lan bent down to pick up the small envelope and opened it.There was an invoice and a greeting card inside.
The product name "Chibi Maruko Ice Crusher" is printed on the invoice, the quantity is 1, and the note "No message for greeting card information".This remark was crossed out with a ballpoint pen, and next to it was written a few large characters in scribbles - "The buyer has been called."
What's the meaning.
Xie Lan opened the greeting card at a loss.
The greeting card had the same big, scribbled characters on the delivery note.
——【A gift for Lan Lan, Lan from Poland】
"..."
Dou Sheng came out from the kitchen, "Where's the greeting card?"
"Write my name." Xie Lan glanced at "Lan Lan" with some disgust, and sighed, "It seems to be a gift from Aunt Zhao."
"Why did she send you this?" Dou Sheng took a look at the greeting card in a daze, and sprayed it all at once.
"It's poisonous, can these sellers grow up?" He couldn't help laughing, took out his mobile phone, took a photo and sent it to them and Zhao Wenying's small group.
Zhao Wenying quickly returned a stunned expression.
-Beautiful girl Boss Zhao: Don't mind Lan Lan.A small gift for you to play.
Xie Lan hesitated for a moment, then obediently replied: "Thank you Aunt Zhao, I like it very much."
"You are too hypocritical." Dou Sheng clicked his tongue, "I still like it very much... Do you know the word for shaved ice?"
Xie Lan asked, "Which word?"
"I won't tell you." Dou Sheng packed up the foam and cardboard boxes, "I'm going to take out the trash, see if the machine can be used."
Xie Lan went into the kitchen and looked for the manual first.The Chinese characters are densely packed, and the whole article calls this guy "Ice Crusher". He read it from the beginning to the end, and finally couldn't help but took out his mobile phone to check which shaved ice is.
As soon as that word came out, he suddenly felt his heart move again.
Very familiar, very familiar word.
After struggling for a long time, he suddenly remembered something, went upstairs and found Xiao Langjing's journal, flipped through the pages of the oldest one, and finally found a page with hand-painted smoothies.
It was one of Xiao Langjing's journals in the year of the college entrance examination.
The weather was rainy that day, and Xiao Langjing failed the last mock exam before the college entrance examination. She analyzed her scores at length in the diary, and only wrote down in a half-line of scribbled small characters at the end: [That's it, let's eat with Wenying Bing was a little happier. 】
At the footer of the page, there is a hand-painted smoothie sketch, with a small arrow next to it marking "Honeydew melon shaved ice, Wenying's private dessert".
Xie Lan didn't pay attention to this unfamiliar word before, and always thought it was a cup of ice cream.
The phone vibrated again, and it was Zhao Wenying who poked him privately—"How was your chat with your dad today?"
Xie Lan struggled for a while, then typed a reply: "It's okay."
Zhao Wenying replied with a huge smile, baring her teeth: "That's good. I'll get off the plane tomorrow and go directly to the hotel. See you tomorrow. I'm busy."
Like a superwoman who comes and goes like the wind.One person can do a prosperous business, and still have a romance with the two of them.
Xie Lan unconsciously raised the corners of her lips. Although she knew that Zhao Wenying had put away her phone, she obediently replied, "See you tomorrow, Aunt Zhao."
It was raining heavily outside, lightning and thunder continued, and the air conditioner was not turned off before, so the whole house was a bit cold.
Xie Lan took a hot bath, leaving a gap in the bathroom door, not long after the water came out, he saw Wutong slipping in through the gap, leaning on the other side of the glass sliding door and staring at him worriedly.
Ding ding ding ding downstairs, accompanied by the harsh sound of machines running, Xie Lan quickly finished washing and changed into fluffy pajamas and pajamas, and went downstairs with Wutong in his arms.
There is a fresh sweet smell in the air.
He shrugged his nostrils, sniffed it carefully, and realized that it smelled like honeydew melon.
Dou Sheng was in the kitchen talking with Zhao Wenying on speakerphone.
"Ms. Zhao, I have to say that your recipe is like a fighting chicken in the trash. You bought all the shaving ice machines, so can't you buy some fresh cantaloupe?" Dou Sheng held a yellow bottle in his hand, Turn upside down and squeeze hard into the crushed ice in the bowl.
The label on the bottle body had been polished off long ago, Xie Lan observed it in confusion for a while, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen this thing in the refrigerator.Just stuffed in the back corner of the fridge with a bunch of mayonnaise or something that he never touches.
An ordinary bottle, Dou Sheng squeezed it with one hand, the muscles of the forearm tightened when he exerted force, until the veins were about to stand up, and only a "bu—" was heard, and a large lump of terrible green fell on the ice.
Dou Sheng was dumbfounded, "This pigment must not eat me and Xie Lan to death?"
"What do you know?" Zhao Wenying said impatiently: "There are a lot of additives and saccharin, and you will be happy when you eat it. This is childhood."
As soon as the words fell, there was another bu——, and Dou Sheng said with emotion: "It turns out that your childhood was fluorescent green, tsk."
Zhao Wenying was busy and hung up the phone after talking to him impatiently. Dou Sheng sighed and made a large bowl of shaved ice that was suspected to be poisonous. He turned his head and saw Xie Lan standing at the door with a cat in his arms.
"Are you here? When did you come here?" He muttered, took two spoons, and carried the shaved ice to the table, "Here, come and eat ice. Ms. Zhao Wenying is bewitched, she insisted that we try this shaved ice The function is not working, and she is required to reproduce her ancient poison recipe."
Dou Sheng sat down and stuffed a spoonful into his mouth as he said, "Hey, it's pretty sweet?"
Xie Lan stared blankly at the heavy rain outside the window, then looked at the shaved ice scooped out by Dou Cheng, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this the first time you eat this?"
"Well, I didn't know that my mother still has this evil recipe, so I don't guarantee that you will live to see the sun tomorrow after eating this." Dou Sheng pushed the shaved ice bowl towards him, "Eat quickly, Don’t stop until your tongue is green.”
Xie Lan sat down and took a spoonful of shaved ice.
It is indeed a very artificial taste, but it is not unpalatable. It melts on the tip of the tongue coldly, and it is really sweet.
He dug and ate a few mouthfuls, then stuck out his tongue towards Dou Sheng, "Am I green?"
Dou Sheng almost spit out a mouthful of smoothie from his throat, coughed and said, "Little Xie Lan, don't you know what green means?"
Xie Lan was at a loss, "Green is green, what else can it mean?"
Dou Sheng smiled and waved his hands, lowered his head and took another two mouthfuls of ice, then turned to look at him.
"Why?" Xie Lan asked.
Dou Sheng also stuck out his tongue at him, "What about me?"
"You're green too." Xie Lan said with a serious face, "Although I didn't look in the mirror, I guess I can't get greener than you."
"...It's poisonous." Dou Sheng couldn't help laughing, cleared his throat and said, "Although your tongue is green, your lips are very red."
Xie Lan also glanced at his lips when he heard the words, "You too, maybe it's the stimulation of the ice."
As soon as the words fell, Dou Sheng turned his head and pecked his lips.
The tip of the tongue touched his lips, it was cold and had a hint of sweetness.
It was still raining outside.Dou Sheng continued to dig the ice, his black eyes were downcast but smiling, and very rarely, the tips of his ears were a little red.
It was Xie Lanhong before, but today it was him.
"Student Xie Lan." His voice was casual as always.
Concerned, with some coldness, he poked the shaved ice with a spoon and said, "Eating a mouthful of pigment and wanting to kiss you, I'm really entangled with you."
Xie Lan was stunned for a while, without saying a word, and lowered his head to poke the shaved ice with him.
The mood seemed to rise a little suddenly.
Those troubles are still there, and nothing is missing, but maybe too much sugar quickly stimulates dopamine, or maybe there is a little secret between Zhao Wenying and Dou Sheng that even his own son doesn't know, anyway Xie Lan felt relieved all of a sudden.
He and Dou Sheng ate shaved ice together in the heavy rain, the back of his head was a little numb from the ice, and he couldn't think of worrying.
The next day Xie Lan asked Xie Jingming several times, but Xie Jingming insisted on not letting him accompany him, and he didn't know what he was thinking alone.
Xie Lan was afraid that he would think too much, so he shut himself up and made up a song for a whole day.Dou Sheng didn't treat his boyfriend as a human being, and the list of OPs he pulled was horribly long. He listened to it section by section, pondering over and over how to integrate it, and it was going to explode in the end.
It wasn't until the evening that Zhao Wenying sent a message after getting off the plane, that he hurriedly took a taxi with Dou Sheng to the hotel.
Tonight's restaurant is not as stylish as yesterday's. It serves local dishes.When Xie Lan and Dou Sheng arrived, they thought that only Xie Jingming would arrive first, but they didn't expect to see Zhao Wenying was already chatting with Xie Jingming as soon as they entered.
Both of their cups were only half full of tea, and they obviously sat down for more than a short while.
"Lan Lan." Zhao Wenying laughed as soon as she saw Xie Lan, "Sit down quickly, and Douzi will sit too."
Normally, Zhao Wenying would give Xie Lan a crushing hug when she came back from a business trip. He originally thought that Zhao Wenying would be more enthusiastic in front of Xie Jingming, but he didn't expect to guess the wrong way.
He hesitated for a while, but chose to sit next to Zhao Wenying, and Dou Sheng sat next to him and Xie Jingming.
There were already a lot of dishes on the table, and at a glance, they were all his and Dou Sheng's favorites, and it was Zhao Wenying who ordered them.
"Hurry up and eat." Zhao Wenying greeted, "Jingming eats too."
Xie Jingming smiled calmly, "Eat them all, don't look at you two little ones, eat yours."
Xie Lan said oh, just picked up the chopsticks, Dou Sheng had already picked up a piece of pork ribs, "Eat this."
Zhao Wenying glanced at Xie Lan's plate, and subconsciously glanced at his favorite pastry in the distance. He seemed to instinctively want to pick it up, but when he picked up the chopsticks, he just pushed Xie Lan's arm, "You eat that, pick it up yourself , red bean tart for you."
Xie Jingming smiled and said, "Wenying really takes care of Xie Lan too much, she's going to get used to the child so badly."
Zhao Wenying smiled gently, "Lang Jing's son, it's only natural for me to be nice to him. When I was a child, I said I wanted to be a godmother."
Dou Sheng secretly poked Xie Lan's leg under the table, Xie Lan glanced at him, and the two exchanged glances.
Zhao Wenying transferred all the sweet dishes to Xie Lan's side, pointed at the table to signal Xie Lan to eat, and said to Xie Jingming, "They eat theirs, and we talk about ours. I just said that the past two years in China have been relatively good." It is industry, and new energy, if you are interested, I will recommend it to you?"
Xie Jingming took out his mobile phone, "Okay, you can send it to me."
Xie Lan was a little surprised while eating the red bean tart, but he didn't expect the two of them to be talking about this matter.
As soon as Zhao Wenying got off the plane, rushing to finish the deal, she naturally chatted with Xie Jingming, and then talked about the development of the past few years.
It was only today that Xie Lan found out that Zhao Wenying was in the business of import and export, and Xie Jingming was in the field of economics. The two chatted about the economic situation at home and abroad as a matter of course, and they did not violate the harmony.
Xie Jingming spoke poor Chinese, but Zhao Wenying listened carefully, agreeing and disagreeing, and had a lively discussion throughout the meal.
During the period, Dou Sheng whispered in Xie Lan's ear while picking up the vegetables: "It's a scene of a social person."
"En." Xie Lan nodded calmly.
This dinner was different from what he had imagined, and the reactions of the two adults were also unexpected.It's like he thought that Xie Jingming might test Zhao Wenying, or even give her some hints, but they didn't. They didn't even talk about him and Dou Sheng from the beginning to the end.
It was not until everyone came out of the restaurant that Xie Jingming finally raised his hand and patted Xie Jingming while waiting for the bus.
Lan's shoulders, as if he finally remembered that there is such a son as him.
"Wenying, I really trouble you." He sighed, "The child is not sensible, and he has to go back to China to take the exam. Lang Jing and I have no relatives in China. If you are still here, I really don't know what to do. what to do."
With his hand on Xie Lan's shoulder, Xie Lan felt a little uncomfortable, but he glanced at Zhao Wenying, and still held back and didn't move.
Zhao Wenying smiled softly, took Xie Lan over and said, "Lan Lan is not sensible yet? I have never seen a more sensible child than him. Don't worry, I will definitely send him to college alive and kicking."
Xie Jingming nodded again and again, and said thank you repeatedly, "You must tell me if you have any expenses, I know that the expenses of a senior high school student in China are a lot, you are willing to help me so much, you must not be polite. "
As he said, the car had already arrived and was parked aside.
Zhao Wenying glanced at the car, but the smile on his face suddenly faded.
Her hand rested on Xie Lan's shoulder, very thin but soft, very feminine.
She looked at the car, seemed to be weighing whether to say it, then looked at Xie Jingming, thought for a moment and said: "Jingming, I'm not helping you."
Xie Lan subconsciously turned her head to look over.Zhao Wenying's expression was gentle, but her tone was very firm, "It's no burden for me to bring one more child, let alone someone like Lanlan. The child is grown up now, and he has his own judgment and persistence in things. If you can respect him, I will I admire you very much. But we have to make this matter clear, I am not helping you, I am helping Lang Jing take care of the child. "
The driver lowered the window and glanced at Xie Jingming urgingly.
Xie Jingming looked embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly covered it up with a smile, "I know, you are good friends, I just want to express my gratitude, there is no other meaning."
"I don't mean anything else." Zhao Wenying laughed softly again when she heard the words, and opened the car door for Xie Jingming, "You and your friends are having fun, shall we go to City X next? I'll ask the secretary to sort things out later. The travel guide is sent to you. Oh yes, Lan Lan, say goodbye to Dad."
Xie Lan met Xie Jingming's gaze and paused, "Dad..."
"Okay, don't make it so grand." Xie Jingming sighed and waved his hands, "I will stay in the country for a few more days, and I will tell you when I arrive at the airport."
"Okay." Xie Lan nodded with relief, "Be careful."
Xie Jingming got into the car, waved to everyone through the window, and the taxi drove away.
Zhao Wenying's hand on Xie Lan's shoulder unconsciously pinched his collarbone lightly, the same movement as Dou Sheng.
"It's actually not easy for your father to come all the way to see you." Zhao Wenying sighed, but then smiled again, "But seeing him this time will make you feel at ease, and you can also feel at ease."
Xie Lan hummed, then asked after a pause, "Aunt Zhao, why did you arrive so much earlier than us?"
"It didn't take long, just about ten minutes." Zhao Wenying said that the phone rang, she took it out and looked at the screen, the caller ID was the secretary.
She pressed the phone and continued: "Your dad is quite polite. I thought I was going to talk about you, but I cared about Douzi for a long time. What grades, health, everything, my God, I really deserve to be a researcher , asked so many things about beans, I don’t know many things, and I can’t answer them at all, it’s very embarrassing.”
Xie Lan felt nervous, and subconsciously looked at Dou Sheng, but Dou Sheng rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Maybe you shouldn't complain about others, but should review yourself."
"I'm reviewing a ghost! Ghost remember what you did in the competition test? Can I remember?" Zhao Wenying said that the phone vibrated again, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll go inside to answer the phone. The contract hasn't been signed yet. After leaving, there will be a message from the legal side, you two wait for me for a while."
She stepped on her high-heeled shoes and hurriedly walked into the hall, talking to the other end of the phone while walking.
Dou Sheng said angrily, "I'm second in the province, thank you."
"I got it, I got it." Zhao Wenying waved her hand perfunctorily, "Lanlan is the number one without you being able to show off."
Dou Sheng: "..."
Xie Lan was still in a daze, watching Zhao Wenying's vigorous and vigorous communication for a while, then looked in the direction Xie Jingming left.
He couldn't believe that Xie Jingming didn't say anything, but he couldn't believe it, but there was also a hint of secret luck.
"The rest of my life." Dou Sheng glanced at Zhao Wenying inside, and secretly squeezed Xie Lan's hand.
He paused and said again: "But I still have to find a chance to have a showdown with my mother. Let's wait until the math competition is over and stop."
Xie Lan hummed, "Anyway, don't worry too much."
Everyone was groggy on the way back.Zhao Wenying sat on the plane for a whole day, and even snored while sitting in the co-pilot.
Xie Lan also closed his eyes in a half-dream and half-awake state. Halfway through the car, his cell phone vibrated suddenly, causing his legs to go numb.
He took out his phone sleepily, thinking it was Xie Jingming, but the name of the senior was on the screen.
- He Xiu: Hello, junior, I will inform you in advance if there is something to do.
Xie Lan was dazed for a while, then bumped Dou Sheng with his elbow, "What do you mean by ventilation?"
Dou Sheng opened his eyes, asked "huh?" blankly, and sniffed, "Your nose is stuffy? Did you catch cold from eating shaved ice yesterday?"
"My nose?" Xie Lan imitated the example and followed suit, "My nose is ventilated, it was He Xiu who said to ventilate in advance."
"Oh, oh!" Only then did Dou Sheng understand, and he leaned over to look at his screen, "It means that there is information to tell you in advance."
As soon as the voice fell, the other party sent another paragraph.
- He Xiu: Your situation is special. The admissions office will conduct a separate written test interview with you in advance, and the time will be within a week after the second test.The specific time will be notified to Yingzhong the day after tomorrow at the latest. I will tell you in advance and you should prepare in advance.
Xie Lan froze for a moment, then hesitated, "What do you mean? Why is T so anxious?"
As soon as the voice fell, another message came from the other side.
- Our admissions teacher said that P University is also exposed to English and Chinese.But as a senior, I have to be honest with you, the Department of Mathematics of University P is stronger.
Xie Lan had just finished reading these two lines when the above one was withdrawn.
-He Xiu: weigh yourself.
Xie Lan walked for a while and couldn't help turning her head back, looking up at the lighted windows of the hotel.
"Don't think about it." Dou Sheng said in a low voice, "If you see it, you can see it. Objectively speaking, your father's attitude is not bad."
"Yeah." Xie Lan nodded lightly, "I know."
There are lights on the commercial street ten meters away, and the shadows of him and Dou Sheng on the ground are getting closer and further away between those street lights, cuddling together, it is difficult to separate you and me.
Dou Sheng glanced at him, took his hand and said, "Even if he exposes everything tomorrow, it's fine, no matter what my mother's attitude is, I will take care of it."
The air was humid and hot, but Dou Sheng's palms were still dry and soft as usual. Xie Lan was dragged away for a while before finally coming out of the 'field' of the room just now.
He sighed softly, "I'm not afraid that Aunt Zhao's attitude is bad...I'm... afraid that we will hurt her."
Not only these guilt and fear, but also a little bit of at a loss.
After Xiao Langjing left, Xie Jingming should be his only close relative and his belonging.But what's absurd is that every time Xie Jingming appeared, he would be pulled out of his comfortable shell, which instead made him feel a sense of wandering.
Xie Lan walked forward in silence, and after walking two steps, he felt a tugging sensation in his hand, only to realize that Dou Sheng had stopped.
He turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"In just these two days, I'll find a chance to have a showdown with my mother." Dou Sheng's tone was firm, "Sooner or later, I'll tell you. The sooner you say you can feel at ease, the sooner she will be calm."
"What?" Xie Lan was taken aback, "Do you know whether it's right or wrong to do this?"
"I didn't count." Dou Sheng pondered for a moment with downcast eyes, then took his hand and continued to walk forward, "I don't know if it's right or wrong, but who cares, you'll know after trying."
Xie Lan hesitated and said, "But..."
"Don't worry, that's it." Dou Sheng looked determined, "She is my own mother, there is nothing I can't try. When I find a suitable opportunity, I will discuss it with you in advance."
Xie Lan hesitated for a long time, but did not say a good word.
When we got home, it was raining outside.A series of lightning flashed across the pitch-black sky, lighting up the plane of the river and the phoenix trees on the river bank, and then thunder rolled.
As soon as Xie Lan entered the door, he heard a meow, and Wutong stomped on the wooden stairs, rushing towards him.
The kitten rushed to his feet and sat sideways against him. It purred quickly and began to lick its fur.
"Don't be afraid." Xie Lan bent down and lifted Wutong into his arms, "Stay with me if you are afraid."
The sound of the anti-theft door being unlocked sounded behind him, and Dou Sheng dragged the couriers outside with some difficulty, and muttered, "Why are there four?"
Xie Lan hugged the cat and looked over, "Is it still a cosplay suit?"
"The cos clothes should be these three small ones. I don't know what to do with the extra big box. It's dead heavy." Dou Sheng said as he closed the door and kicked the biggest box next to his feet. The box was a bit heavy and remained motionless. .
Xie Lan knelt down and glanced at the label, "Enjoy Home Living Museum?"
"My mother probably bought it." Dou Sheng finally came to his senses and rolled his eyes on the spot, "You're so smart, leave me your contact information, and let me carry such a big courier for her. Good guy, I was almost photographed outside by the heavy rain."
Xie Lan hugged the cat and watched Dou Sheng unpack the express delivery, and Wutong meowed non-stop.
Dou Sheng muttered: "What, it can't be my birthday present. Then I'm going to run away from home..."
The box was opened and the foam cover inside was lifted, both of them were stunned.
A strange thing.
Dark green, heavy, like a small wrought iron bench, but the top is sealed.Between the seal and the "bench surface" is a transparent cylinder with coils and blades inside.There is a handle on one side of the bench, connected to the back, and there is an embossed word on it.

Xie Lan asked blankly, "Will it explode?"
"What?" Dou Sheng took out his mobile phone and checked the dictionary, "How do you say shaved ice in English, shavedice? Or waterice?"
"Oh." Xie Lan suddenly understood, "Both words are fine, I know."
The machine was pulled out, and there were exquisite gift bags, ribbons and envelopes under the box.
Dou Sheng picked up the heavy thing and moved it to the kitchen, "This thing can't really be my birthday present, then I'm really going to call the police. Just look at what's written in the envelope."
Xie Lan bent down to pick up the small envelope and opened it.There was an invoice and a greeting card inside.
The product name "Chibi Maruko Ice Crusher" is printed on the invoice, the quantity is 1, and the note "No message for greeting card information".This remark was crossed out with a ballpoint pen, and next to it was written a few large characters in scribbles - "The buyer has been called."
What's the meaning.
Xie Lan opened the greeting card at a loss.
The greeting card had the same big, scribbled characters on the delivery note.
——【A gift for Lan Lan, Lan from Poland】
"..."
Dou Sheng came out from the kitchen, "Where's the greeting card?"
"Write my name." Xie Lan glanced at "Lan Lan" with some disgust, and sighed, "It seems to be a gift from Aunt Zhao."
"Why did she send you this?" Dou Sheng took a look at the greeting card in a daze, and sprayed it all at once.
"It's poisonous, can these sellers grow up?" He couldn't help laughing, took out his mobile phone, took a photo and sent it to them and Zhao Wenying's small group.
Zhao Wenying quickly returned a stunned expression.
-Beautiful girl Boss Zhao: Don't mind Lan Lan.A small gift for you to play.
Xie Lan hesitated for a moment, then obediently replied: "Thank you Aunt Zhao, I like it very much."
"You are too hypocritical." Dou Sheng clicked his tongue, "I still like it very much... Do you know the word for shaved ice?"
Xie Lan asked, "Which word?"
"I won't tell you." Dou Sheng packed up the foam and cardboard boxes, "I'm going to take out the trash, see if the machine can be used."
Xie Lan went into the kitchen and looked for the manual first.The Chinese characters are densely packed, and the whole article calls this guy "Ice Crusher". He read it from the beginning to the end, and finally couldn't help but took out his mobile phone to check which shaved ice is.
As soon as that word came out, he suddenly felt his heart move again.
Very familiar, very familiar word.
After struggling for a long time, he suddenly remembered something, went upstairs and found Xiao Langjing's journal, flipped through the pages of the oldest one, and finally found a page with hand-painted smoothies.
It was one of Xiao Langjing's journals in the year of the college entrance examination.
The weather was rainy that day, and Xiao Langjing failed the last mock exam before the college entrance examination. She analyzed her scores at length in the diary, and only wrote down in a half-line of scribbled small characters at the end: [That's it, let's eat with Wenying Bing was a little happier. 】
At the footer of the page, there is a hand-painted smoothie sketch, with a small arrow next to it marking "Honeydew melon shaved ice, Wenying's private dessert".
Xie Lan didn't pay attention to this unfamiliar word before, and always thought it was a cup of ice cream.
The phone vibrated again, and it was Zhao Wenying who poked him privately—"How was your chat with your dad today?"
Xie Lan struggled for a while, then typed a reply: "It's okay."
Zhao Wenying replied with a huge smile, baring her teeth: "That's good. I'll get off the plane tomorrow and go directly to the hotel. See you tomorrow. I'm busy."
Like a superwoman who comes and goes like the wind.One person can do a prosperous business, and still have a romance with the two of them.
Xie Lan unconsciously raised the corners of her lips. Although she knew that Zhao Wenying had put away her phone, she obediently replied, "See you tomorrow, Aunt Zhao."
It was raining heavily outside, lightning and thunder continued, and the air conditioner was not turned off before, so the whole house was a bit cold.
Xie Lan took a hot bath, leaving a gap in the bathroom door, not long after the water came out, he saw Wutong slipping in through the gap, leaning on the other side of the glass sliding door and staring at him worriedly.
Ding ding ding ding downstairs, accompanied by the harsh sound of machines running, Xie Lan quickly finished washing and changed into fluffy pajamas and pajamas, and went downstairs with Wutong in his arms.
There is a fresh sweet smell in the air.
He shrugged his nostrils, sniffed it carefully, and realized that it smelled like honeydew melon.
Dou Sheng was in the kitchen talking with Zhao Wenying on speakerphone.
"Ms. Zhao, I have to say that your recipe is like a fighting chicken in the trash. You bought all the shaving ice machines, so can't you buy some fresh cantaloupe?" Dou Sheng held a yellow bottle in his hand, Turn upside down and squeeze hard into the crushed ice in the bowl.
The label on the bottle body had been polished off long ago, Xie Lan observed it in confusion for a while, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen this thing in the refrigerator.Just stuffed in the back corner of the fridge with a bunch of mayonnaise or something that he never touches.
An ordinary bottle, Dou Sheng squeezed it with one hand, the muscles of the forearm tightened when he exerted force, until the veins were about to stand up, and only a "bu—" was heard, and a large lump of terrible green fell on the ice.
Dou Sheng was dumbfounded, "This pigment must not eat me and Xie Lan to death?"
"What do you know?" Zhao Wenying said impatiently: "There are a lot of additives and saccharin, and you will be happy when you eat it. This is childhood."
As soon as the words fell, there was another bu——, and Dou Sheng said with emotion: "It turns out that your childhood was fluorescent green, tsk."
Zhao Wenying was busy and hung up the phone after talking to him impatiently. Dou Sheng sighed and made a large bowl of shaved ice that was suspected to be poisonous. He turned his head and saw Xie Lan standing at the door with a cat in his arms.
"Are you here? When did you come here?" He muttered, took two spoons, and carried the shaved ice to the table, "Here, come and eat ice. Ms. Zhao Wenying is bewitched, she insisted that we try this shaved ice The function is not working, and she is required to reproduce her ancient poison recipe."
Dou Sheng sat down and stuffed a spoonful into his mouth as he said, "Hey, it's pretty sweet?"
Xie Lan stared blankly at the heavy rain outside the window, then looked at the shaved ice scooped out by Dou Cheng, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this the first time you eat this?"
"Well, I didn't know that my mother still has this evil recipe, so I don't guarantee that you will live to see the sun tomorrow after eating this." Dou Sheng pushed the shaved ice bowl towards him, "Eat quickly, Don’t stop until your tongue is green.”
Xie Lan sat down and took a spoonful of shaved ice.
It is indeed a very artificial taste, but it is not unpalatable. It melts on the tip of the tongue coldly, and it is really sweet.
He dug and ate a few mouthfuls, then stuck out his tongue towards Dou Sheng, "Am I green?"
Dou Sheng almost spit out a mouthful of smoothie from his throat, coughed and said, "Little Xie Lan, don't you know what green means?"
Xie Lan was at a loss, "Green is green, what else can it mean?"
Dou Sheng smiled and waved his hands, lowered his head and took another two mouthfuls of ice, then turned to look at him.
"Why?" Xie Lan asked.
Dou Sheng also stuck out his tongue at him, "What about me?"
"You're green too." Xie Lan said with a serious face, "Although I didn't look in the mirror, I guess I can't get greener than you."
"...It's poisonous." Dou Sheng couldn't help laughing, cleared his throat and said, "Although your tongue is green, your lips are very red."
Xie Lan also glanced at his lips when he heard the words, "You too, maybe it's the stimulation of the ice."
As soon as the words fell, Dou Sheng turned his head and pecked his lips.
The tip of the tongue touched his lips, it was cold and had a hint of sweetness.
It was still raining outside.Dou Sheng continued to dig the ice, his black eyes were downcast but smiling, and very rarely, the tips of his ears were a little red.
It was Xie Lanhong before, but today it was him.
"Student Xie Lan." His voice was casual as always.
Concerned, with some coldness, he poked the shaved ice with a spoon and said, "Eating a mouthful of pigment and wanting to kiss you, I'm really entangled with you."
Xie Lan was stunned for a while, without saying a word, and lowered his head to poke the shaved ice with him.
The mood seemed to rise a little suddenly.
Those troubles are still there, and nothing is missing, but maybe too much sugar quickly stimulates dopamine, or maybe there is a little secret between Zhao Wenying and Dou Sheng that even his own son doesn't know, anyway Xie Lan felt relieved all of a sudden.
He and Dou Sheng ate shaved ice together in the heavy rain, the back of his head was a little numb from the ice, and he couldn't think of worrying.
The next day Xie Lan asked Xie Jingming several times, but Xie Jingming insisted on not letting him accompany him, and he didn't know what he was thinking alone.
Xie Lan was afraid that he would think too much, so he shut himself up and made up a song for a whole day.Dou Sheng didn't treat his boyfriend as a human being, and the list of OPs he pulled was horribly long. He listened to it section by section, pondering over and over how to integrate it, and it was going to explode in the end.
It wasn't until the evening that Zhao Wenying sent a message after getting off the plane, that he hurriedly took a taxi with Dou Sheng to the hotel.
Tonight's restaurant is not as stylish as yesterday's. It serves local dishes.When Xie Lan and Dou Sheng arrived, they thought that only Xie Jingming would arrive first, but they didn't expect to see Zhao Wenying was already chatting with Xie Jingming as soon as they entered.
Both of their cups were only half full of tea, and they obviously sat down for more than a short while.
"Lan Lan." Zhao Wenying laughed as soon as she saw Xie Lan, "Sit down quickly, and Douzi will sit too."
Normally, Zhao Wenying would give Xie Lan a crushing hug when she came back from a business trip. He originally thought that Zhao Wenying would be more enthusiastic in front of Xie Jingming, but he didn't expect to guess the wrong way.
He hesitated for a while, but chose to sit next to Zhao Wenying, and Dou Sheng sat next to him and Xie Jingming.
There were already a lot of dishes on the table, and at a glance, they were all his and Dou Sheng's favorites, and it was Zhao Wenying who ordered them.
"Hurry up and eat." Zhao Wenying greeted, "Jingming eats too."
Xie Jingming smiled calmly, "Eat them all, don't look at you two little ones, eat yours."
Xie Lan said oh, just picked up the chopsticks, Dou Sheng had already picked up a piece of pork ribs, "Eat this."
Zhao Wenying glanced at Xie Lan's plate, and subconsciously glanced at his favorite pastry in the distance. He seemed to instinctively want to pick it up, but when he picked up the chopsticks, he just pushed Xie Lan's arm, "You eat that, pick it up yourself , red bean tart for you."
Xie Jingming smiled and said, "Wenying really takes care of Xie Lan too much, she's going to get used to the child so badly."
Zhao Wenying smiled gently, "Lang Jing's son, it's only natural for me to be nice to him. When I was a child, I said I wanted to be a godmother."
Dou Sheng secretly poked Xie Lan's leg under the table, Xie Lan glanced at him, and the two exchanged glances.
Zhao Wenying transferred all the sweet dishes to Xie Lan's side, pointed at the table to signal Xie Lan to eat, and said to Xie Jingming, "They eat theirs, and we talk about ours. I just said that the past two years in China have been relatively good." It is industry, and new energy, if you are interested, I will recommend it to you?"
Xie Jingming took out his mobile phone, "Okay, you can send it to me."
Xie Lan was a little surprised while eating the red bean tart, but he didn't expect the two of them to be talking about this matter.
As soon as Zhao Wenying got off the plane, rushing to finish the deal, she naturally chatted with Xie Jingming, and then talked about the development of the past few years.
It was only today that Xie Lan found out that Zhao Wenying was in the business of import and export, and Xie Jingming was in the field of economics. The two chatted about the economic situation at home and abroad as a matter of course, and they did not violate the harmony.
Xie Jingming spoke poor Chinese, but Zhao Wenying listened carefully, agreeing and disagreeing, and had a lively discussion throughout the meal.
During the period, Dou Sheng whispered in Xie Lan's ear while picking up the vegetables: "It's a scene of a social person."
"En." Xie Lan nodded calmly.
This dinner was different from what he had imagined, and the reactions of the two adults were also unexpected.It's like he thought that Xie Jingming might test Zhao Wenying, or even give her some hints, but they didn't. They didn't even talk about him and Dou Sheng from the beginning to the end.
It was not until everyone came out of the restaurant that Xie Jingming finally raised his hand and patted Xie Jingming while waiting for the bus.
Lan's shoulders, as if he finally remembered that there is such a son as him.
"Wenying, I really trouble you." He sighed, "The child is not sensible, and he has to go back to China to take the exam. Lang Jing and I have no relatives in China. If you are still here, I really don't know what to do. what to do."
With his hand on Xie Lan's shoulder, Xie Lan felt a little uncomfortable, but he glanced at Zhao Wenying, and still held back and didn't move.
Zhao Wenying smiled softly, took Xie Lan over and said, "Lan Lan is not sensible yet? I have never seen a more sensible child than him. Don't worry, I will definitely send him to college alive and kicking."
Xie Jingming nodded again and again, and said thank you repeatedly, "You must tell me if you have any expenses, I know that the expenses of a senior high school student in China are a lot, you are willing to help me so much, you must not be polite. "
As he said, the car had already arrived and was parked aside.
Zhao Wenying glanced at the car, but the smile on his face suddenly faded.
Her hand rested on Xie Lan's shoulder, very thin but soft, very feminine.
She looked at the car, seemed to be weighing whether to say it, then looked at Xie Jingming, thought for a moment and said: "Jingming, I'm not helping you."
Xie Lan subconsciously turned her head to look over.Zhao Wenying's expression was gentle, but her tone was very firm, "It's no burden for me to bring one more child, let alone someone like Lanlan. The child is grown up now, and he has his own judgment and persistence in things. If you can respect him, I will I admire you very much. But we have to make this matter clear, I am not helping you, I am helping Lang Jing take care of the child. "
The driver lowered the window and glanced at Xie Jingming urgingly.
Xie Jingming looked embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly covered it up with a smile, "I know, you are good friends, I just want to express my gratitude, there is no other meaning."
"I don't mean anything else." Zhao Wenying laughed softly again when she heard the words, and opened the car door for Xie Jingming, "You and your friends are having fun, shall we go to City X next? I'll ask the secretary to sort things out later. The travel guide is sent to you. Oh yes, Lan Lan, say goodbye to Dad."
Xie Lan met Xie Jingming's gaze and paused, "Dad..."
"Okay, don't make it so grand." Xie Jingming sighed and waved his hands, "I will stay in the country for a few more days, and I will tell you when I arrive at the airport."
"Okay." Xie Lan nodded with relief, "Be careful."
Xie Jingming got into the car, waved to everyone through the window, and the taxi drove away.
Zhao Wenying's hand on Xie Lan's shoulder unconsciously pinched his collarbone lightly, the same movement as Dou Sheng.
"It's actually not easy for your father to come all the way to see you." Zhao Wenying sighed, but then smiled again, "But seeing him this time will make you feel at ease, and you can also feel at ease."
Xie Lan hummed, then asked after a pause, "Aunt Zhao, why did you arrive so much earlier than us?"
"It didn't take long, just about ten minutes." Zhao Wenying said that the phone rang, she took it out and looked at the screen, the caller ID was the secretary.
She pressed the phone and continued: "Your dad is quite polite. I thought I was going to talk about you, but I cared about Douzi for a long time. What grades, health, everything, my God, I really deserve to be a researcher , asked so many things about beans, I don’t know many things, and I can’t answer them at all, it’s very embarrassing.”
Xie Lan felt nervous, and subconsciously looked at Dou Sheng, but Dou Sheng rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Maybe you shouldn't complain about others, but should review yourself."
"I'm reviewing a ghost! Ghost remember what you did in the competition test? Can I remember?" Zhao Wenying said that the phone vibrated again, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll go inside to answer the phone. The contract hasn't been signed yet. After leaving, there will be a message from the legal side, you two wait for me for a while."
She stepped on her high-heeled shoes and hurriedly walked into the hall, talking to the other end of the phone while walking.
Dou Sheng said angrily, "I'm second in the province, thank you."
"I got it, I got it." Zhao Wenying waved her hand perfunctorily, "Lanlan is the number one without you being able to show off."
Dou Sheng: "..."
Xie Lan was still in a daze, watching Zhao Wenying's vigorous and vigorous communication for a while, then looked in the direction Xie Jingming left.
He couldn't believe that Xie Jingming didn't say anything, but he couldn't believe it, but there was also a hint of secret luck.
"The rest of my life." Dou Sheng glanced at Zhao Wenying inside, and secretly squeezed Xie Lan's hand.
He paused and said again: "But I still have to find a chance to have a showdown with my mother. Let's wait until the math competition is over and stop."
Xie Lan hummed, "Anyway, don't worry too much."
Everyone was groggy on the way back.Zhao Wenying sat on the plane for a whole day, and even snored while sitting in the co-pilot.
Xie Lan also closed his eyes in a half-dream and half-awake state. Halfway through the car, his cell phone vibrated suddenly, causing his legs to go numb.
He took out his phone sleepily, thinking it was Xie Jingming, but the name of the senior was on the screen.
- He Xiu: Hello, junior, I will inform you in advance if there is something to do.
Xie Lan was dazed for a while, then bumped Dou Sheng with his elbow, "What do you mean by ventilation?"
Dou Sheng opened his eyes, asked "huh?" blankly, and sniffed, "Your nose is stuffy? Did you catch cold from eating shaved ice yesterday?"
"My nose?" Xie Lan imitated the example and followed suit, "My nose is ventilated, it was He Xiu who said to ventilate in advance."
"Oh, oh!" Only then did Dou Sheng understand, and he leaned over to look at his screen, "It means that there is information to tell you in advance."
As soon as the voice fell, the other party sent another paragraph.
- He Xiu: Your situation is special. The admissions office will conduct a separate written test interview with you in advance, and the time will be within a week after the second test.The specific time will be notified to Yingzhong the day after tomorrow at the latest. I will tell you in advance and you should prepare in advance.
Xie Lan froze for a moment, then hesitated, "What do you mean? Why is T so anxious?"
As soon as the voice fell, another message came from the other side.
- Our admissions teacher said that P University is also exposed to English and Chinese.But as a senior, I have to be honest with you, the Department of Mathematics of University P is stronger.
Xie Lan had just finished reading these two lines when the above one was withdrawn.
-He Xiu: weigh yourself.
