MVP in the next examination room

He bumped into the mixed-race Wu Di with a sly smile on his face.

Xiao Wu tilted his head, and said in a substandard Mandarin: "Actually, I've been paying attention to you for a long time."

Tang Ran slowly turned off the screen, put away the phone, looked up, and said threateningly: "So?"

Wu Di said: "Maybe we can be friends."

Tang Ran: "?"

"Youdon'tlikeithere, doyou" Wu Di smiled smugly and naively. After switching to English mode, he spoke much more fluently, "Idon'tlikeiteither."

Tang Ran replied bluntly and indifferently: "I don't understand."

"...you don't look like it here," Wu Di said, "me too."

"The way you strike up a conversation is too old-fashioned." Tang Ran dismissed it, paused and asked, "Look at your watch, what time is it?"

Although Xiao Wu didn't quite understand the meaning of the first half of the sentence, he followed the second half of the sentence he understood and looked at his watch: "Six o'clock."

"What a coincidence," Tang Ran raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said indifferently, "It's also six o'clock on my watch. Does this mean that we are destined?"

"..." Xiao Wu couldn't understand such a difficult rhetorical question, and nodded along with the voice, "Yes."

Tang Ran: "..."

"You are very special." Wu Di added self-consciously, "I have noticed you since the first day you came here. Did you come up with the idea of ​​pretending to be a deafmute to avoid attending lectures and asking questions? Oh, no Look at me with this look, you know, I have no intention of exposing you, I just want to make friends with you."

"You'd better be." Tang Ran snorted and asked again, "Why?"

"Because I'm lonely," Wu Di spread his hands and shrugged. "Holidays shouldn't be like this. I'm tired of studying without entertainment. I think vacations should be spent on camping, hockey, swimming... and travel." It’s not a vacation I want.”

Tang Ran said: "Sorry, I can't give you camping, hockey, swimming, including travel."

"It's okay, maybe we can work together," Wu Di said, opened a navigation software, and turned the screen to Tang Ran, "Look, here is an ancient tomb, I am very interested in it."

Tang Ran glanced at it, and the map showed that there was a small ancient tomb in Qingshan District, not too far from the camp of the training center.

"On the third day I came here, I found it on the map," Wu Di said while holding the phone, with longing written all over his face, "It's very charming, mysterious, and very attractive to me...I hope to leave here , to explore it."

"But I'm often lost here and need a partner."

Tang Ran probably understood what he meant: "So you..."

Wu Di looked at him sincerely: "Be my partner."

"..."

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately." Tang Ran corrected him seriously, "It's a companion, don't use that word."

"Oh, okay." Wu Di shrugged again, and said in a calm manner, "Then are you willing to be my companion? Leave this boring place and go to a truly charming place."

Wu Di thinks he's an excellent choice as a traveling companion—Tang Ran has personality, intelligence, guts, and hates it as much as he does.

Tang Ran didn't give an answer immediately, and seemed to be still thinking about it.

Xiao Wu was expecting and anxious, and couldn't help but speak English when he was in a hurry: "WillyoubemypartnerBelieveme, we'llhaveagoodholiday."

Tang Ran rolled his eyes: "I said, don't speak English to me."

"Okay," Wu Di said, "I'll try to pay attention."

"Besides me," Tang Ran asked, "Who else did you invite?"

"No more," Wu Di shook his head, "Only you."

Tang Ran pondered for a moment: "I think the choice of companion should be two-way. You think I'm a suitable candidate, but I don't know if you are."

Wu Di was a little dizzy: "Wait... wait a minute, what are you talking about? Can you use English?"

"No," Tang Ran insisted, "Let me speak slowly and listen carefully."

……

The two gave each other half a day of listening training, but in the end they couldn't figure out what the other meant.

"In this way," Tang Ran had no choice but to suggest, "Let's each take a step back."

So, the two used a pound of plastic bulk English to complete the next friendly exchange.

"You, choose me, to be a partner," Tang Ran said, "But I haven't chosen you yet."

Wu Di was confused: "What?"

"Do something for me," Tang Ran said, "Did you see that training camp next to you?"

Wu Di looked out the window, his eyes were full of bewilderment.

"Within three days," Tang Ran said, "I want all the information about their No.1."

Wu Di was confused and said, "Why, I don't understand."

"Don't ask so much yet," Tang Ran said, "help me do it."

Wu Di asked: "And then?"

Tang Ran said, "Then I will accept your invitation."

------------

Wu Di walked away with a winning pace, and Tang Ran simply gathered the materials and notes on the desk and returned to the dormitory.

He first took a walk around Oreo, who was about to go crazy, and then went to the cafeteria for dinner.

Xiao Wu climbed over the fence between the Hangyuan Training Center and the training camp next door with high spirits.

"Hello, classmate." Wu Di casually stopped a boy passing by. The boy was gentle and fair, and looked very educated.

So Wu Di switched to English mode and asked him, "How is your No.1 doing?"

Ren Yuzhen who was stopped: "?"

The boy in front of him had blond hair, and his appearance looked somewhere between "foreigner" and "minority with dyed blond hair". He was wearing a T-shirt from the Hangyuan Training Center next door.

Ren Yuzhen looked at him vigilantly: "What are you doing?"

"Don't be nervous," Wu Di had no choice but to switch to Chinese again, "I just want to know...how is he doing recently."

Ren Yuzhen was still very vigilant: "Do you know him?"

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Dil replied cautiously: "I have heard it a little bit."

——This word was learned from his classmates recently, and it feels very compelling when used.

But Ren Yu's heart was full of alarm bells.

——A boy who can't even speak Chinese asked him vaguely about Yuan Che, and this person didn't even know Yuan Che's name, and he still used the pronoun "No. 1 here". ghost.

Ren Yuzhen pointed behind him: "Oh, he's right there."

Wu Di looked back, and the clarion call of victory had sounded in his heart.

...with no one behind.

When he turned his head again, Ren Yuzhen had run away without a trace.

----------

As the sky was getting dark, Wu Di walked slowly towards his own cabin, feeling very complicated.

This world is really too indifferent.

He could not sleep at night, tossing and turning, thinking about the reasons for his failure.

At one o'clock in the morning, Tang Ran was woken up by the notification sound of his mobile phone.

He dazedly touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, and at the same time heard a rustling sound.

Tang Ran clutched her phone, stepped on the slippers beside the bed, and walked towards the source of the sound.

Oreo was still awake. It knocked down a pillow from the sofa in the living room, using its front paws and mouth together, trying to bite.

Tang Ran went up and snatched the pillow off it, patted it on the head, and scolded: "Stealing bad things again! Get down!"

Oreo's throat "grunt" for a while, looking very unconvinced.

Tang Ran didn't care about it anymore, put the pillow out of Oreo's reach, and walked to the bedroom holding the phone.

Oreo's physical activity during the day was not as good as usual, and he had nowhere to vent his excess energy. After finally grabbing a pillow, Tang Ran snatched it away, and he was in an unhappy mood.

Tang Ran just lay down on the bed and was about to take a look at the news when a dog's head suddenly poked out from the edge of the bed with a fierce look in its eyes.

It seems to have the meaning of "playing with you if you can't play with the pillow".

"..." Tang Ran slapped the dog's head and greeted him, "How dare you!"

Oreo left angrily, Tang Ran lay down again, and unlocked the phone screen.

【How lonely Wu Di is】: "My friend, I think you didn't tell me the name of No.1. This is a big failure."

Tang Ran was amused: "Your Chinese is pretty good, and you know how to fail."

【How lonely Wu Di is】: "Translation software."

【How lonely Wu Di is】: "I asked around 'how is your No.1 doing recently', like a crazy person."

Tang Ran thought for a while, and felt that he hadn't thought carefully: "Sorry, wait a moment."

He logged on to the official website of Shengjing Middle School, entered the list of honor rolls for the first year of high school that had just been announced, and easily found Yuan Che's name and photo in the first row and first column.

The photo was taken when I first entered school, wearing military training clothes.

For most people, this photo is a proper dark history, but not for Yuan Che.

Tang Ran pressed the save button, opened the software, created a new document, placed the photo in the upper center, and carefully adjusted the size and clarity of the photo.

After achieving the effect of "although I can't see clearly, I can at least recognize this person when I meet him", Tang Ran sent him a message: "Yuan Che."

The main purpose of posting the photos is to avoid the situation that the passerby randomly selected by Wu Di is Yuan Che himself.

It's not that he doesn't have other photos of Yuan Che in his phone, but those are all from him, and he doesn't want to share them with Xiao Wu.

Tang Ran added: "There is no need to ask for other information, I just need to know where he lives."

Wu Di looked at the wanted/wanted/ordered photo message sent by Tang Ran, and fell into deep thought.

He had deep doubts about Tang Ran's purpose of looking for this person.

Classmate Wu Di couldn't sleep tonight. He tossed and turned, thinking about Tang Ran's purpose for asking this classmate's address.

This matter is very strange, if it is an acquaintance, why not send a message to ask him personally, or go to the next door to find it in person?

Xiao Wu thought about it, and finally came to the conclusion of two words: seeking revenge.

That must be the case, and revenge-seeking would make sense.

After a fierce struggle in Wu Di's heart, conscience finally defeated the urgency to make allies.

He made a brave decision.

----------

Ren Yu really ran away with lingering fears, and he didn't forget to tell Yuan Che about it when he got to a safe place: "It's strange that there is a yellow hair next door. He stopped me to inquire about you last evening, but he couldn't even say your name." out."

Yuan Che was at a loss: "...Ask me?"

"That's right, I don't know that person either," Ren Yu said kindly, "Anyway, you'd better be careful these days."

Yuan Che said "hmm" and thanked Ren Yuzhen, but he didn't take it too seriously afterwards.

But one afternoon—

A strange boy with blond hair and brown eyes suddenly stopped him halfway, looked around in a panic, and finally said to him in a low voice: "Someone wants to kill you, run quickly."
