know the enemy

Lu Jia rushed to finish his homework on the last day of the holiday, but he didn't have time to memorize the text. He forgot to wear the red scarf on the first day of school.

A few days ago, he had exchanged phone numbers with Mu Wenran, and when he did his homework at night, he would call Mu Wenran when he encountered a problem he didn't understand.After going back and forth, the phone call at night became a habit.

Mu Wenran's junior high school is a closed school with holidays on Saturdays and Sundays, and mobile phones are not allowed on other days.

Lu Jia thought that he would not be able to contact Mu Wenran for a long time, but Mu Wenran said that he would bring his mobile phone. If Lu Jia wanted to make a call, he could call directly.

Mu Wenran carried his mobile phone with him almost every day in junior high school, and after all, he still looked forward to receiving a call from Chu Yue, even though the person on the other end of the phone would only cry and complain to him.

Later, most of the reason why he brought the phone was because of Lu Jia, that kid would choose a good time to call him after school, ask a question, and talk about what happened today.

Mu Wenran had the illusion that Yun was raising a child. This kind of phone contact was maintained until the end of the month, and Lu Jia didn't call again for a few days.

Mu Wenran took it for granted that Lu Jia was bored.This is quite normal, since the new semester begins, and students can see each other frequently, Lu Jia will stick to him for no reason.

Spring begins in April, on Saturday morning, Mu Wenran received a call from Lu Jia.

Luke: "Hello? Brother, are you still sleeping?"

Mu Wenran: "No."

"Oh, that's good. I didn't charge my mobile phone last month! It's 30 yuan! I didn't dare to tell my aunt, and Bai Yi didn't lend me the phone. Hey, I wanted you to call me, I can talk to you Tell me, but you haven't called me..." Lu Jia babbled a lot, and finally asked, "Brother, are you very busy recently?"

He thought Mu Wenran was busy, so he forgot to call himself.

"Stupid." Mu Wenran was just thinking in his heart, but couldn't hold back and said it softly.

"what?"

"It's nothing." Mu Wenran turned the pen in his hand, "I've been busy recently, and I won't in the future. If you don't call me next time, I'll call you." He rarely said such words, This is a promise, and Mu Wenran has always kept his word.

Luke said repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

Mu Wenran asked him again: "Did you finish your homework?"

Lu Jia fell silent, and after a few seconds he said, "I think... I plan to write on Sunday."

"Would you like to come to my house to do your homework?"

Lu Jia was struggling in his heart. He really wanted to go out to play today, but it was hard to refuse Mu Wenran, "Brother, are you home alone again today?"

Mu Wenran thought he was afraid of Mu Zhangcheng, and said with an "um", "the nanny is not here today."

Luke immediately felt overwhelmed with responsibility, and said, "Then I'll go!"

"Do you know the way, do you need me to pick you up?"

"Yes, no, I'll take the bus."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jia stuffed his homework into his schoolbag, and his aunt asked him why he was there, and he said he went to Wen Ran to do his homework.

It is rare for Lu Jia to be so active in doing homework.

My aunt shouted at Bai Yi who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, "Bai Yi, your brother already knows how to do homework, why are you still watching TV?"

Bai Yi was reprimanded inexplicably: "He just writes his homework, it's none of my business, what's wrong with me?" The more he thought about it, the more wronged he became, he threw down his pillow and said viciously, "Lu Jia!"

There was a clothes hanger in the entrance, blocking Lu Jia who was sitting on the ground wearing shoes, when Bai Yi called him, Lu Jia poked his head out: "You called me?"

Bai Yi was taken aback by the shock, and threw the pillow again: "You hate it to death!"

Lu Jia giggled, "You look like a little girl."

"Fuck off!"

In the following year and a half, Lu Jia often went to Mu's house by bus, and Mu Wenran occasionally came to Bai's house to pick him up.

When Mu Wenran went to Bai's house for the first time, when he heard Lu Jia call Bai's mother aunt, and saw Bai Yi that Lu Jia often mentioned on the sofa, he almost immediately understood what was going on.Lu Jia never mentioned his parents, just like Mu Wenran never mentioned his mother and Mu Wencheng.

One is that there is no way to miss it, and the other is that I do not want to mention it.

This gave him a distorted sense of belonging, and finally completely pulled Lu Jia into his position.

Lu Jia's aunt, also known as Baimu, likes Mu Wenran very much. There are very few people who don't like such a delicate and polite boy.But Bai Yi was very hostile to him, probably a child was sensitive, and Mu Wenran's words and deeds made him feel uncomfortable, and he couldn't tell why.

He told this to Luke, but Luke didn't believe it, he just said, "You look like a monkey yourself, why don't you allow others to look good when you smile?"

Bai Yi exploded immediately, forgot about Mu Wenran, and ran after Lu Jia all over the yard.

He was actually a little guilty. The reason why he was hostile to Mu Wenran was because Mu Wenran distracted his brother too much.

When Lu Jia was in the sixth grade, Mu Wenran went to their school, stood outside the iron fence of the playground, and delivered lunch to Lu Jia who was left by the teacher to correct his homework.

As soon as Luke saw the hamburger and fries in his hand, he shouted: "Brother, brother! I'm here!"

Mu Wenran touched Lu Jia's head through the railing: "You should eat less of what children eat. How many times have you been detained?"

Lu Jia automatically ignored Mu Wenran's question, took the food and obediently said "Thank you brother".

Lu Jia was often detained, but Mu Wenran didn't have time to deliver meals to him every time. Once or twice, Mu Wenran was remembered by the girls in Lu Jia's class.

No matter what age, everyone seems to hope to have a brother or sister who can pamper them, not to mention that Mu Wenran is also good-looking.Lu Jia was very popular with girls at that time, and the girls always pulled him and asked him to talk about Mu Wenran.

Lu Jia was very stupid, but he praised Mu Wenran vigorously, and said that he had good grades.This made the girls miss him even more, and they often asked Luke, "When will your brother come?"

Bai Yi snorted coldly when he heard it: "What brother, fake brother."

Lu Jia and Mu Wenran are not related by blood.

The girls were unhappy: "You don't have an older brother, what do you know?"

The classmates in the class didn't know that Bai Yi and Lu Jia were brothers. At first, Bai Yi didn't want to admit it, and forced Lu Jia to pretend that he didn't know him in class.

He was still young when he made this request, and he thought that Luke would be angry and beat him up, but Luke didn't, and acquiesced.After that, there were many times when Bai Yi wanted to say that he was just joking, but he couldn't get it out of his mouth.

He never regarded Luke as an outsider, in his eyes Luke was his brother.He had never said this before, and he dared not say it, for fear that Luke would laugh at him, or that Luke would turn over old scores.

So I just procrastinated and misunderstood.

During the winter vacation of the sixth grade, Lu Jia had to go to Mu’s house to do homework every day. At the beginning, Lu Jia was full of motivation, but he couldn’t persevere. After a week, he even stayed in bed and pretended to die because he didn’t do his homework.

Mu Wenran didn't wait for anyone, so he went directly to Bai's house to find someone.

Baimu helped him open the door of Lujia's house: "He said he had a headache and maybe he had a cold." After finishing speaking, Baimu said in a breathy voice, "It's just pretending."

Mu Wen nodded clearly and entered the room.

In the room, Lu Jia covered his head with the quilt, and when he heard the movement, he coughed twice in a very fake way, and asked in a muffled voice with his eyes exposed: "Brother, why are you here?"

"To see you."

Lu Jia twisted into the bed, patted himself next to him: "Sit."

Mu Wenran sat down.

Lu Jia grabbed the quilt tightly and stared at Mu Wenran intently.

Mu Wenran: "Why are you nervous?"

"Don't be nervous, brother."

"Do you still have a headache?"

"It doesn't hurt now, brother."

"What are you nervous about?"

"No, brother."

"...you don't need to call me brother in every sentence."

Lu Jia lied, he was okay with his aunt, but he was very nervous when he faced Mu Wenran, so the "brother" came out unconsciously.

Mu Wenran didn't mean to expose Lu Jia, he was indeed pushing too hard, and Lu Jia could honestly follow him to write for a week, which is already very good.

Seeing that Mu Wenran didn't speak for a long time, Lu Jia blinked a few times, then shrank his head back under the quilt sullenly.

Mu Wenran waited for a while, watched the quilt shrug, and nudged the quilt lightly: "Why are you crying?"

Lu Jia stretched out a hand from under the quilt, and made a "1", "Just one day, you let me take a day off, and I will guarantee to do my homework tomorrow, please."

"I didn't say no, get up quickly, don't cry in the quilt."

Lu Jia crawled out of the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed with his hair full of static electricity, sighed with red eyes.

"It's not that I don't want to write, but...hey, I'm too tired." Lu Jia turned to look at Mu Wenran, "Too tired."

Mu Wenran followed him: "Well, I'm too tired."

Luke: "I want to confess to you."

Mu Wenran: "What?"

"I don't have a headache at all... No, I get a headache when I think about my homework. I wrote a lot last week, and you asked me to write two pages of winter vacation life at night, and you checked me the next day..."

The more anxious you are, the more wrong your calculations are, and the more upset you are, the more mistakes you write. Lu Jia shed tears while writing last night, and all he dreamed about when he went to bed at night was the volume and area cubic.

Mu Wenran couldn't quite understand Lu Jia's pain, but he still said, "I won't leave homework at night from now on."

Luke was very content: "I thank you."

"It's 'Thank you brother'."

"Thank you brother."

In the end, Mu Wenran relaxed his time as much as possible, and changed Lu Jia's homework to be written once every two days, and he had a rest on Sunday.

Bai Mu joked, "You should be strict with him."

Mu Wenran shook his head with a smile: "No, he will cry." The boy really loves to cry.

Lu Jia finished his homework before the new year, and went to Mu's house every day after the new year.

Mu Wenran asked him if he didn't go out to play with his friends, Lu Jia pouted: "I'm making up my homework."

Spring is short, and it is summer in a blink of an eye. Children really grow up when they say they grow up. In a blink of an eye, Lu Jia will go to middle school, and Mu Wenran will also go to high school.

Lu Jia's grades are there, and he can only be assigned to a designated middle school according to the region, but Mu Wen is different. He has good grades and has many choices.

Mu Zhangcheng never cared about these things. In his opinion, choosing a good university is the most important thing. As for high school, he only said that he should let Mu Wenran think about it himself.

Mu Xian, who is the second uncle, seemed to care more, and asked Mu Wenran if he wanted to go.

When Mu Wenran said to go to Nanxiang, Mu Xian immediately thought of Lu Jia.Nanxiang is divided into junior high school and high school, Bai Yi and Lu Jia should both go to school there.

In Mu Wenran's opinion, the high school he chooses is the same. Their junior high school is strictly controlled. Now that no one is holding him back, it is better to choose a school that is closer to Lu Jia, so that it is convenient to take care of the children.
