Beyond The Outline

Kang Kai had no idea that his carefully prepared rainbow fart had hit the wrong target. After the other party responded coldly at first, there was no more sound. He said "Hello" again, and the other party cut off the call neatly.

Shao Zhan's palm was warm, Xu Sheng thought he was trying to grab him to keep him from leaving, but he soon discovered that the direction of force in Shao Zhan's hand was different from what he thought, and he was dragged by Shao Zhan to retreat out of the crowd took several steps.

The noisy crowd moved away from them at once, and the fireworks reflected the entire night sky.

Xu Sheng's thoughts were originally disturbed by Kang Kai's unexpected phone call, and his mind "boomed" as if he had returned to that rainy day more than a year ago. Countless voices crowded together with the sound of exploding fireworks, and then those voices suddenly Faded away, because Xu Sheng suddenly heard Shao Zhan saying in his ear: "Where do you want to go."

Xu Sheng thought about many reactions the moment Kang Kai finished speaking. He thought that Shao Zhan might ask him what was going on, he might be surprised, he might feel strange...but he didn't expect this kind of reaction.

Shao Zhan really didn't want to force him to face it, nor did he want to ask. If Xu Sheng wanted to escape now, he would let him go.

The fireworks show had just started, and it was the time when there were the most people. The crowd rushed in, but the two left from the opposite direction. Xu Sheng was dragged by him to take two steps, and finally ran straight away.

"Wow—fireworks."

"Hurry up and take a picture, you're blocking my lens."

Girls are most irresistible to things like fireworks. Qiu Qiu held her face and turned her head to look for classmates from Class [-], but found that the two seats where one stood and one sat were empty by the side of the flower bed. She looked around and did not find Xu Sheng and Shao Zhan's figure: "Where are Brother Zhan and Brother Sheng?"

Yuan Ziqiang tried his best to make the shape concave: "I also want to know where they went. I am so tired with the shape of the hole. How about brother Qiu, take a picture for me."

Qiu Qiu: "..."

The wind was harsh and dry in winter, but Xu Sheng was sweating and burned all over. The crowds had completely disappeared, and some facilities in the amusement park had been closed at that point. The two finally stopped in a remote corner.

Behind it is the canteen that has just closed its doors. It is several streets away from the place where the fireworks are watched, and there are few people around.

There was no one on the bench at the entrance of the canteen. Xu Sheng stepped on the edge of the bench and sat down with his legs bent—not so much sitting, but this posture was more like "huddling". Because he was running too hot, he took off his coat , The collar of the sweater is wide, and the whole person shows a kind of laziness that does not match the appearance of "Shao Zhan".

For a long time no one took the initiative to speak.

Xu Sheng sent Kang Kai a message yesterday about this matter, but he didn't expect to overturn the car in person today.He found that it wasn't that he didn't want to say it, had no chance to say it, or didn't have time to say it, but that he didn't know how to face this matter.

Confused, evasive, overwhelmed, these emotions are all there.

Xu Sheng sorted out his emotions for a while before lifting his face buried between his knees: "I..."

He raised his head and saw Shao Zhan standing in front of him. Looking at "self" from this angle, Xu Sheng felt an unreal and illusory sense of dislocation, as if he really saw another person coming from the other side of time and space. himself, but this illusion was quickly dispelled, because Shao Zhan reached out and patted him lightly on the head: "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."

Shao Zhan was shrouded in the shadow under the tree, against the light from the street behind him, he put one hand in the pocket of his jacket, touched half of the candy that he had unfinished in the morning, peeled off the candy wrapper, and bent down .

Before Xu Sheng realized it, he had already stuffed a mouthful of candy.

"Eating sweets will cause the brain to secrete dopamine," Shao Zhan said. "Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that can directly affect people's emotions."

Xu Sheng: "..." Why did you take chemistry class?

Shao Zhan: "I wanted to feed in a different way." Shao Zhan paused for two seconds, "Forget about this situation now."

Another way.

Which way to change it is self-evident.

Xu Sheng bit the candy, wondering if the so-called "dopamine" really played a role, or because Shao Zhan was by his side, after a long while, he said, "I don't want to talk about it, it's just this matter, it's a bit long to talk about. "

After much deliberation, Xu Sheng decided to start with the high school entrance examination and said, "Actually, I wanted to take the entrance examination..."

Shao Zhan took the words: "Liyang No. [-] Middle School."

Xu Sheng's next words stopped.

Xu Sheng: "How do you know?"

Shao Zhan: "Your mother mentioned it once two days ago, and you can almost guess the specific situation."

Xu Sheng was stunned for two seconds.

That's right, every time I go back, I can't avoid this topic, so it's not surprising that Xu Yaping will bring it up.

Shao Zhan had already guessed pretty well before Kang Kai made this phone call, and there was only one piece of the jigsaw puzzle missing at the end. These few words from Kang Kai were like the last piece handed over, and the whole thing was overwhelmed. fight together.

Now that Shao Zhan had already guessed it, Xu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and it was easier to say what he said afterwards.

Xu Sheng bit the candy into pieces: "Have you heard of Li Yang before?"

Shao Zhan: "I don't look at schools with too low scores."

"..."

Xu Sheng gave a "fuck" in a low voice: "Boyfriend, can we still chat?"

Although the score line of Liyang No. [-] Middle School is low, the grades in art are not low at all. The students from Liyang No. [-] Middle School basically take over the first few days of the joint entrance examination every year-it is true that there are some art students in troubled waters in the school, and their performance in cultural subjects is not good. , Taking fine arts to reduce points, the school can also increase the enrollment rate.But Liyang No. [-] Middle School has many really good paintings.

After all, there is only one art-based school in City A, with rich educational resources, and art classes are arranged two days a week.

In fact, he had never talked about this matter with anyone like this. Even Kang Kai was guessing. He only knew that he and Xu Yaping had quarreled about this matter, but he didn't know the details.

But this is Xu Sheng's family matter after all, Shao Zhan can't make the decision for him.

Shao Zhan just remembered for no reason the Xu Sheng who was held down by Gu Yanwang on the flag-raising platform for self-criticism since the first year of high school, and he also remembered how out of place the boy was in the pile of school uniforms every time he stood there.

The incident about the school uniform caused a great uproar. No one understood why Xu Sheng didn’t wear the school uniform. In the end, it was summed up as the school bully’s behavior. Some even said: “It’s normal for the school bully not to wear the school uniform. personality."

He also remembered the first time he met Xu Sheng at the beginning of the second year of high school.

Single-seat exam seats.

Meng Guowei, the new head teacher, was sitting on the edge of the podium and said: "Don't take it lightly just because it is a preliminary test. This test is still a bit difficult..."

The fan kept turning on the top, but the seat on the right was silent. The boy who didn't wear a school uniform lay on the table and slept for the whole exam.

A 17-year-old boy doesn't know how to hold back his edge at all, he is the most flamboyant age, especially Xu Sheng's unstoppable character, Shao Zhan can hardly imagine how much effort he has to put his head down.

Shao Zhan found that he didn't feel awkward because of his body at all, because the Xu Sheng he saw now was the most real Xu Sheng.

It's not that you don't have any skills, come to school to dawdle, or don't care about everything.

Not really want to test Beida Jade Bird.

Shao Zhan: "Do you like painting very much?"

Xu Sheng was stunned.

Shao Zhan doesn't know much about the joint entrance examination. In fact, even if he knows that Xu Sheng likes to draw, he doesn't know how well the other party can draw, so he said this very purely, regardless of any external factors: "If you like it, don't give up."

The fireworks show came to an end, and the last piece of fireworks filled the entire night sky.

---

At the same time, Xu Yaping was waiting for her "son" to come home.

Before Xu Sheng went out, Xu Yaping asked about what time you would come back at night. Shao Zhan casually estimated the time, but he didn't expect that the students in class seven would stay so late to watch the fireworks show.

So Xu Yaping cooked the meal, waited and waited, and couldn't help calling her son: "Are you back? Didn't you promise to come back around seven o'clock, and now it's past nine o'clock."

When Shao Zhan received the call, the group of Class [-] happened to be walking back along the street, saw them from a distance, and waved at them: "I've been looking for you for a long time... hiding here."

Shao Zhan glanced at Xu Sheng, mouthed 'your mother', and then said, "Come on."

These two words actually have no other meaning in content, but Xu Yaping was still stunned by these two words.

A woman's sixth sense is a very mysterious thing.

"Xu Sheng" has recently given her a feeling that something is wrong, and this feeling of something wrong has accumulated and deepened after a few days of getting along.

Xu Yaping unconsciously grasped the hem of her clothes.

She suppressed that weird mood, and gave a few more words of advice. Then, holding the phone in one hand, she opened the door with the other hand and planned to go into Xu Sheng's room to get something: "It's so late, be careful on the way back, yes Is the scotch tape in your room, mom will stick it..." Stick the cardboard box.

While talking, Xu Yaping bent down and rummaged through the tape on the desk.

In the end, the tape was not found, but she waved her hand and accidentally shook out the test paper that was pressed in the math book.

Xu Yaping didn't intend to look at the test paper at first, but she caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye, which made her blood coagulate in an instant.I saw that the test paper in his hand was only half written, the writing was sharp and the characters were beautifully written - the words on the test paper obviously did not belong to Xu Sheng!

At the same time, the indifferent voice from the other end of the receiver was so strange that it was creepy. The voice that was exactly the same as Xu Sheng's but completely different said, "Got it."

Xu Yaping: "..."

Facing the test paper in front of her and the words in the receiver, she could no longer suppress her growing doubts.

From the first day "Xu Sheng" came home, she felt that something was wrong. At first, she attributed it to the child's bad mood, but in the past few days she deliberately asked for leave to stay at home, and the feeling that something was wrong sharply increased.

Her son, she knows best.

Xu Yaping felt that "Xu Sheng" seemed to be a different person two days ago.

But this kind of speculation is too exaggerated, how could such a thing happen in this world...

Xu Yaping told herself like this, thinking that it might be a classmate's test paper, which was accidentally brought back in the book, but once the thoughts of doubt arose, she began to skyrocket, and she tentatively said: "Xiao Sheng, you came back Can I bring Mom a cup of my favorite mango milkshake?"

Shao Zhan didn't listen carefully. When he heard that the drink was brought, he didn't think much about it at all, and he didn't bother to ask the deity Xu Sheng next to him: "Yes."

Xu Yaping's world is shattered!

She is allergic to mangoes and can never eat anything related to mangoes, Xu Sheng knows it.

What exactly is going on? !

Shao Zhan never expected that after pretending to be his son for a few days, he would overturn his car because of a cup of mango milkshake.
