give me straight man

On the other side, Meng Ran and Gu Cen were walking side by side on the way to the cafeteria.

Meng Ran had no idea that Gu Cen would come to accompany him to class today, beyond being surprised, he couldn't help guessing the reason or purpose of Gu Cen's coming.

Gu Cen looked at the main road under their feet, looked at the lush greenery on both sides of the road, concentrated on remembering something, and smiled silently.

Ok?

Meng Ran turned his head to look in puzzlement.

Gu Cen looked at Meng Ran, and said as he walked, "Just remembering, we used to take this road often."

"At that time, you were in class, and when it was time to finish, I would wait for you outside the teaching building, and then we would walk this way together and go to the No. [-] canteen for dinner."

When Gu Cen said this, Meng Ran also remembered: At that time, Gu Cen was too embarrassed to accompany him to class, so he asked about his class schedule and made an appointment to see him after class.

And every time he waited for him to go downstairs after class, Gu Cen was already waiting, and never asked him to wait even once.

He wondered at first, wondering if Gu Cen's timing was so accurate. You must know that the teachers in their school procrastinate and procrastinate, and basically don't ring the bell to finish class.

Later, once, the classroom was on the second floor, and he sat by the window during class. He turned his head and looked downstairs through the French window beside him. He happened to see Gu Cen, and only then did he know that Gu Cen was in the second half of the class. I waited in front of the teaching building when I first started a class, and the first wait lasted for four to five or 10 minutes...

Recalling these, Meng Ran couldn't help but a gentle smile reverberated in his eyes.

At this time, Gu Cen lowered his head, suppressed the bitterness on his lips, and said lightly: "If I didn't listen to my mother at that time, and didn't go abroad as an exchange student..."

The word "if" is not included in Meng Ran's life creed.

He shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone: "It's great to be able to go abroad as an exchange. Later, two girls in our class went abroad. They came back half a year earlier than you. When they went, they were still two ignorant girls. When they came back, they were tall and straight." And confident, isn't it good?"

Gu Cen smiled, straightened his back on purpose, and asked Meng Ran: "Then look at me, am I tall and confident?"

Meng Ran: "You have always been confident, and now you are even more confident."

Gu Cen then asked, "Then do you think I've changed?"

Meng Ran looked at Gu Cen's face while walking, pretending to look at Gu Cen's face, nodded quietly, and said with great face: "Sure enough, he is even more handsome."

A big smile spread on Gu Cen's lips.

In the cafeteria, the two went to eat the sliced ​​noodles they used to eat together.

The meeting hall is still there, and the boss is still the original boss, Gu Cen said with emotion: "It's still there."

Meng Ran: "Yes, their business has been very good."

Gu Cen: "You still come to eat often?"

Meng Ran blurted out: "Of course."

After finishing speaking, he paused.

Gu Cen looked at Meng Ran with a smile, Meng Ran glanced back, and slowly glanced away - he replied "Of course", and he still came to eat often, as if he hadn't forgotten the past and was still in the two years when Gu Cen was away. , Repeatedly walking the road they once walked together, doing the same things they once did together.

At least that's how it feels.

But only Meng Ran knows that he will come to this restaurant frequently these years, not because of Gu Cen, but because the sliced ​​noodles here are really, really, really delicious.

But he blurted out this sentence, as if he had accidentally exposed something. The atmosphere between the two of them had come to this point, and it was hard for him to explain too much.

Gu Cen said happily, "I'm graduating soon, it seems that I have to come here a few more times, otherwise I won't be able to eat even if I want to eat in the future."

Meng Ran: "You can come back after graduation. The door of my alma mater is always open."

Gu Cen stared at Meng Ran, smiled, and said nothing.

After the meal, when the two of them walked out of the cafeteria, Gu Cen suddenly said, "I hope to come back after graduation, except that the school gate is open and the noodle restaurant is still there, and the people who eat noodles together can remain the same."

Meng Ran carried a backpack on one shoulder, and tightened the strap of the backpack in his hand - Gu Cen's hint was very obvious.

In the afternoon, Meng Ran was in a daze while sitting alone in the library reading a book.

He was thinking about Gu Cen.

In his memory, he had an affair with Gu Cen, but in fact, he never got to the point where the paper on the window was pierced.

However, after the reunion, Gu Cen's performance seemed to be a complete continuation of the past. After more than two years, there was no buffer after goodbye, and his attitude was very obvious.

Meng Ran felt a little overwhelmed.

The phone buzzed at this moment.

Meng Ran put aside his thoughts and picked up his phone.

[Gu Cen]: I'm here in the auditorium, do you want to come over?

past?

Meng Ran thought, what could he have done in the past?Watch rehearsal?

The phone vibrated again.

[Lu Ou Xun]: Come to see my rehearsal?

Meng Ran went to the auditorium.

As soon as he entered, he saw Lu Ouxun on the stage.

He stood side by side with another boy and two girls, and the four of them interacted as hosts. The other three had scripts in their hands, and looked down from time to time while talking. Only Lu Ouxun had an empty hand, only a microphone, and the whole process was off script.

Lu Ouxun's typhoon is also very stable. He is tall, handsome, full of momentum, and has a stable aura. He is extraordinarily dazzling on stage.

Meng Ran just looked at it for a while, and he could imagine how many girls would be fascinated by Lu Ouxun's suit pants on the day of the party.

Meng Ran couldn't help curling the corners of his lips.

Lu Ouxun suddenly looked over at this time, saw him, raised his eyebrows, raised his chin, and silently conveyed: Wait a minute, I'll be fine soon.

Meng Ran smiled: This habit of deserting in an upright manner has not changed at all - in high school, he practiced long-distance running for the sports meeting, and others only had two legs. Theater rehearsals are tight and heavy tasks. Others have to memorize their positions and memorize their lines. They can't care about anything else. Only Lu Ouxun can find time to talk nonsense to him.

Probably the proud son of heaven has such strength and ability, no matter what he can do, he can do it with ease.

Meng Ran's eyes in the stands gradually took on the appreciation and envy that he didn't notice, and there were traces of immersion in memories in his eyes.

Didn't realize that Gu Cen had come to his side, was looking at him, and followed his gaze to Lu Ouxun on the stage, with a thoughtful face.

Meng Ran regained his senses, and glanced to the side from the corner of his eye, only to see Gu Cen.

Meng Ran smiled, and Gu Cen also smiled at him.

Gu Cen signaled to the stage, and during the rehearsal sound that spread through the auditorium, he said to Meng Ran: "Lu Ouxun's typhoon is very good. Our original host had hives and couldn't make it to the stage. He recommended him. He came to help save the stage." field."

After a pause, "He is also very talkative. Ask him for help, and he will come."

Meng Ran: "He has always been a good talker, and he is also very popular."

Gu Cen asked knowingly, "Are you good friends?"

Meng Ran nodded.

Gu Cen: "How good is it?"

what?

This problem is sudden and somewhat inexplicable.

Meng Ran didn't pay much attention, thought for a while, and said, "It's the kind between boys and boys, friends and friends."

Gu Cen secretly heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, and said nothing more.

The rehearsal of the host on the stage is over, and the following is the performance after the host. Lu Ouxun exited the stage, did not go behind with the other hosts, but came to the side of the stage, jumped down, and jumped briskly Come down and run to Meng Ran.

Seeing Gu Cen standing beside Meng Ran, Lu Ouxun glanced at Gu Cen, approached, looked at Meng Ran and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

Meng Ran nodded: "Very good."

Lu Ouxun said in a familiar tone, "Just "good"? "

Meng Ran raised his hand to applaud him, and praised him with great face: "Great! Perfect! Wonderful!"

He boasted in a joking tone: "No. [-] in the world!"

Lu Ouxun was funny, stretched out his hand, and rubbed the top of Meng Ran's hair with his palm: "Are you kidding me?"

Meng Ran hid his hand: "Hey!"

Gu Cen, who was next to him, looked normal at first, but when he saw Lu Ou Xun reaching out to rub Meng Ran, he paused suddenly, with a strange expression on his face, and glanced back and forth between the two of them.

Lu Ouxun didn't look at Gu Cen, and Meng Ran didn't pay attention to Gu Cen either.

Lu Ouxun raised his hand to signal the backstage: "Would you like to go and have a look at the back?"

Meng Ran straightened his hair: "What is there to see in the background?"

Lu Ouxun: "Just take a look."

Gu Cen said at this time: "He wants to rehearse, I'll take you to see it."

Only then did Lu Ouxun look at Gu Cen: "It's okay, I'm not busy now."

The three of them walked backstage while talking.

After walking a few steps, Lu Ouxun was stopped to speak, Meng Ran turned his head to take a look, and continued to follow Gu Cen without stopping.

Lu Ouxun chatted with someone, raised his eyes, and saw Meng Ran walking away with Lu Ouxun, and the two of them were still talking while walking, and they were not unfamiliar at first sight.

When they reached the door leading to the backstage, Gu Cen opened the door and let Meng Ran go first. When Meng Ran walked in, Gu Cen was like a gentleman taking care of a lady, holding Meng Ran with his hand. He looked very caring, and his gaze followed Meng Ran closely from beginning to end.

Seeing no one, Lu Ouxun looked away.

He didn't show it on the face, but he was quite upset as if he had been hit hard by something.

Lu Ouxun then remembered the lunch at noon today.

Have the two talked about the old days?

But he and Meng Ran have been inseparable since childhood, and have been inseparable for three years in high school. They are best friends, but they haven't talked about the past so far.

Lu Ouxun is not a stingy person, but at the moment he is inexplicably unhappy, very unhappy.

So after chatting with the person, he quickly followed to the backstage.

Seeing Meng Ran, he walked over, without thinking too much, raised his arm and put it around Meng Ran's shoulder, and wrapped it around, pulling him into his arms, "Wait for me."

Meng Ran: "..."

Gu Cen: "..."

Meng Ran glanced at Gu Cen from the corner of his eye, fearing that Gu Cen might misunderstand, he quickly reached out and grabbed Lu Ouxun's arm, "Don't make trouble."

Lu Ouxun put his hand on Meng Ran's shoulder instead.

Meng Ran patted his hand and brushed it away.

Gu Cen didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched, his eyes went back and forth between Meng Ran and Lu Ouxun several times.

After Meng Ran left, Lu Ouxun continued the rehearsal, and Gu Cen was in charge of the part he needed to be responsible for.

Before the end of the rehearsal that day, everyone gathered to discuss what was discovered during the rehearsal and what needs to be paid attention to. Across the crowd, Gu Cen looked at Lu Ouxun with no expression, and Lu Ouxun looked at Gu Cen with a pale expression.

The meeting again was the matchmaking between the host part and the sound reinforcement part. Someone suggested that Lu Ouxun and Gu Cen add WeChat to each other.

Gu Cen: "No need."

Lu Ouxun: "No need."
