Long grass warbler flying

May has always been a bright season, accompanied by the sound of frogs and insects, the intense sunshine and the growing shade of trees—and every tired afternoon when sleepy bugs are flying all over the sky.

In the math class, the teacher dragged his voice to explain the second solution, but the students were silent and kept making small movements.

Chu Lan was sitting upright, with her left hand resting on the side of her face, looking impeccable.Ji Xiao, who was next to him in the aisle, could clearly see that this person had his eyes closed, and occasionally he would wake up a little bit when he couldn't support the weight of his head, but he was dozing off.Ji Xiao scanned Chu Lan's whole body, and there was a patch of gray on the back of Chu Lan, which was particularly conspicuous on the snow-white school uniform.

Chu Lan has always been obsessed with cleanliness, and Ji Xiao has already experienced this—his school uniform is always clean and tidy, and the objects on the desks and dormitory desks are all in a wonderful order. Together with Chu Lan's meticulousness, they constitute Ji Xiao. Xiao Xiao's initial impression of "obsessive-compulsive disorder".

So after class, he ran up to Chu Lan, a little nervous.

"Where did you get a big piece of dust on your school uniform?" Ji Xiao naturally put his arms around Chu Lan's shoulders, turned him over, and then patted Chu Lan's shoulder blade with his palm.

Chu Lan tried hard to turn his head to look, but he couldn't figure out the angle problem, so he gave up and slumped his shoulders: "It's over, my school uniform hasn't dried yet. What about the assembly in the afternoon?"

This day coincided with the May [-]th Youth Day, and the third-year high school students had to take the adult oath ceremony, and they, a group of high-school boys, were able to watch the excitement.There is still a little time before the ceremony starts, Ji Xiao said: "I still have a school uniform in the dormitory, why don't you go and get it and you will just take it off? This one can't be worn anymore, it looks uncomfortable."

He was telling the truth, a large piece of rubbed somewhere didn't look like dust, but it was like cement paste on it, and the paper towels couldn't be wiped clean, Chu Lan felt uncomfortable thinking about it, even though he wasn't used to wearing other people's clothes, now When choosing the lesser of two evils, I had no choice but to agree with Ji Xiao's idea.

Ji Xiao ran back and forth from the classroom to the dormitory, and was almost late for the ceremony.He hurriedly put the coat on Chu Lan's body, and then grabbed his arm.

Panting from running, the two entered the line one after the other, standing in the last row of the phalanx.Chu Lan rolled up the sleeves of her school uniform, then stuffed it into her pocket, her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Ji Xiao..."

Ji Xiao: "What are you doing?"

Chu Lan took out five dollars from his coat pocket, which had passed through the water, obviously he forgot to take it out during the last wash.With a stern face, he said seriously: "Heaven's a windfall, I'll treat you to milk tea later."

Ji Xiao was in a daze at first, but when Chu Lan stuffed the note into his hand, he suddenly lowered his head and started laughing, his shoulders trembled, and he almost squatted down.Chu Lan next to him was no longer serious, and looked at him rather jokingly: "It would be great if it was a red ticket, so I can treat you to dinner."

Ji Xiao: "...I found out that you, being poor, are shameful."

Chu Lan only gave him a small smug look. He seemed to be in a good mood because of the activity he ran to the playground just now, and he was not like usual for a while.Ji Xiao looked around, and finally landed on Chu Lan's shoulder silently. He was wearing Ji Xiao's school uniform, which was one size too big, and the sleeves would cover his fingers.

He was already thin, but the school uniform coat was generally loose, and it was like a sack on his body.Ji Xiao looked at Chu Lan, his shoulders were narrower than usual, and his thin body might disappear if he hugged his waist.

All the yearning and longing were maximized at once, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet for a while, and the fleeting itch was unbearable.

Later, the seniors who were about to graduate swore what they said, but Ji Xiao didn't listen to a word.He was disturbed by the combination of the warm sunshine and the drunken south wind, and boldly made a private decision.

"If he breaks up when he graduates, I will confess to him."

Ji Xiao thought quietly, still glancing at Chu Lan's profile from the corner of his eye.The man was lowering his head, racing against time to recite a few newly learned words in the small book. Sunshine was with him, and Ji Xiao's mood couldn't help beating fast.

He leaned over and almost touched Chu Lan's temple - he was much taller than Chu Lan, and the other party didn't seem to have started to grow, just reaching Ji Xiao's chin.

Ji Xiao felt that he rubbed against Chu Lan's face through the air, and his breath could be sensed by the other party: "Where is the back?"

Chu Lan didn't raise her head: "Treasure."

This intimacy was fleeting, and Ji Xiao retreated to his position to listen attentively when Xiao Yingchun came over to inspect. He secretly pulled Chu Lan's wrist, and the other party quickly put away the vocabulary book and looked straight ahead.

"Hey Chulan." He took advantage of Xiao Yingchun's departure and lowered his voice.

The young man who was called turned his head to look at him suspiciously. From Ji Xiao's perspective, Chu Lan raised his eyelids. His eyes, which seemed to be always sleepy, opened a lot and looked bigger. The bright black pupils reflected the sun's peak. , it was so dazzlingly bright for a moment.The corners of his drooping eyes twitched slightly, as if he wasn't used to this angle.

Ji Xiao smirked: "Do you have 1.7 meters?"

Chu Lan: "..."

Chu Lan: "Let's break up the friendship."

Ji Xiao couldn't hold back anymore, this time he was really laughing so hard he squatted on the ground and almost couldn't get up - because Chu Lan kicked him resolutely, leaving half a hole on the dark blue school pants. footprints.

When Zhai Xinen heard about this, summer had already quietly arrived.

She ate the ice cream that Ji Xiao bought, and then buried Ji Xiao: "You mocked his height? You are so lucky to be alive." Ji Xiao raised his hand and gestured at his chin: "Isn't he only this tall?"

Zhai Xinen glared at him. After all, if Chu Lan was disliked, he could only talk to him with his head up. In Ji Xiao's eyes, he was basically "not in the horizontal line of sight", so he said, "Of course Chu Lan is 1.7 meters!"

Ji Xiao was wearing the school uniform jacket that Chu Lan temporarily borrowed that day. He had a very clear distinction between his own things, even two one-yuan notes could be accurately remembered.Zhai Xinen scoffed at this skill, saying that he is an idiot, but Ji Xiao was too lazy to refute, and he did all the embarrassing things.

The stick of ice cream was pressed against the tongue, and after a long time, I felt a little thirsty, and suddenly a bird flew by outside the window.Ji Xiao said fondly, "I helped him wash his school uniform that day."

Zhai Xinen: "What a little daughter-in-law...I praise you for your virtuousness."

Ji Xiao smiled, of course he would not tell Zhai Xinen, his shirt and Chu Lan's school uniform were placed in the basin together, quietly entangled into a ball.

Before the water was released, he nervously picked up Chu Lan's school uniform, wanting to ask for a plausible hug, but finally stopped because the behavior was too nasty, and when it was all soaked, Ji Xiao regretted it again—— What a romantic plot, he actually gave up out of disgust.

Later, the two clothes were dripping wet and hung on the balcony of the dormitory.When the closet is taken back, it is the same fragrance of washing powder.

Ji Xiao was very haunted for a while, he felt that he was about to be possessed by Chu Lan.

Over time, this morbid obsession did not intensify, but it never stopped, and it always resurfaced when Ji Xiao was trying to give up, torturing him with pleasure and pain, exhausting him physically and mentally.Occasionally, he would think about Chu Lan very presumptuously at night, listening to the sound of breathing so close to him, comforting himself, and then in his sleepy dream, he was accompanied by deep guilt.

He felt as if he had polluted Chu Lan, and these secret pleasures and sins were kept from everyone.

During the long time of getting along, Ji Xiao gradually discovered that Chu Lan was not very well-behaved either.

He couldn't get out of bed in the morning, and stayed in bed without moving for a moment, so Ji Xiao had to take the trouble to yell over and over again.Once another roommate saw it and just smiled and said that you are really patient.

The human-shaped alarm clock has been used for a long time, and Chu Lan's gratitude has been gained from it.It's not that he can't sleep, it's just that he's lazy. He used to be late as a professional, but now that he's living in school, it's getting worse. He wishes he could stay in bed until he grows old.Ji Xiao listened to his justified self-defense, and couldn't laugh or cry.

Chu Lan also likes to skip classes, but she doesn't do anything when she skips classes. Sometimes she goes to the library to read, and sometimes she goes home directly to have dinner.He talked about his family when chatting, and when Ji Xiao said sourly that he was envious, Chu Lan shut his mouth again and looked at him with apologetic eyes.

From summer to autumn, time always flies faster than imagined.

Ji Xiao still works at McDonald's, two afternoons every weekend.And I don’t know when it started, Chu Lan, who doesn’t live nearby, gradually likes to come here with Di Xinen, enjoy the free air-conditioning at McDonald’s, and choose a seat by the window to do homework—Later Di Xinen said that she took the initiative to ask Chu Lan , the reason is "to see the excitement of Ji Xiao".

Ji Xiao was noncommittal about this, and only teased him: "Where's your girlfriend?"

Chu Lan didn't talk about it, but Zhai Xinen didn't shy away from it. He spread his hands and said, "People can't understand us nerds who only know how to study on weekends, so they went to play by themselves."

This seems to be in exchange for a little bit of luck and space to be alone. After all, Zhai Xinen is biased towards Ji Xiao, and occasionally leaves early with an excuse, so the task of going home together is handed over to Ji Xiao to propose.He and Chu Lan were able to take the same bus this time, the difference was that Ji Xiao had to sit at the terminal, he knew where Chu Lan got off, and he also lay on the window to watch the neighborhood he was walking to.

Excluding Ji Xiao's unspeakable thoughts about Chu Lan, it seems that they lived a very simple high school life: full of test papers and exams, as well as cultural evenings and track and field competitions, and being able to wait for the bus together on weekends seems too mediocre and simple , nor any dissatisfaction.

Ji Xiao almost forgot the troubles before, and he began to feel that if he could go on like this until graduation, it should be a time worth remembering for his whole life.

He likes Chu Lan, who is sixteen or seventeen years old, bright and lively—even if these two adjectives are not so appropriate for him—and he is sure that he will never meet anyone who makes him so tempted again.

The Christmas of his sophomore year in high school, Ji Xiao thought, happened to be the first anniversary of seeing Chu Lan, and they had changed from strangers who met by chance to... At least in Chu Lan's words, he was his "few friends".

Sister Mo is no longer the president of the student union because of her promotion to the graduating class. The new one is a top student in the science class and the past minister of life.Since he watched Ji Xiao work, he naturally inherited the will of the previous student union president and arrested a certain volunteer.

Chu Lan has been promoted to be the Minister of Propaganda. As the "hands-off shopkeeper" that the entire student union knows well, this person still performs the mascot duty of relying on his face for food. When the officers are busy with the Christmas party, He was doing leisurely work in the office with a dozen papers in his arms.

Ji Xiao knew that he hadn't completely let go, and still had to look at the important things in person, but he still couldn't help but feel sad: "You are so leisurely as a minister, and the juniors and younger sisters are busy."

Chu Lan raised her eyelids, and kept writing in her hands: "If you do something, you have to order someone to do it."

Ji Xiao: "When I was an officer last year, I didn't see you condescending at the Christmas party, did you?"

Chu Lan plausibly said: "No way, I ordered the takeaway by phone."

Ji Xiao: "..."

The takeaway he brought back personally came from Chu Lan's taste. No wonder the other party was so active in queuing up when he took the burger, and he must have waited for a long time.Ji Xiao swallowed all these words, rolled up a poster in his hand and knocked on Chu Lan's head angrily: "You're too lazy, ancestor."

Chu Lan felt at ease with this slightly weird title. He put down his pen, glanced at the poster, and then stood up compassionately: "Okay, move around...Will you accompany me to put up the poster?"

What else could Ji Xiao say, he never seemed to have the word "no" to Chu Lan.

Posters have to be pasted on every floor, no matter whether you choose top-down or bottom-up, it is very tiring.By the time the posters were put up, there was less than half an hour before evening self-study, and eating was obviously like fighting.

Chu Lan hesitated to speak, but Ji Xiao knew that there was probably no food to eat in the cafeteria at this time, so he pulled and let go of Chu Lan's hand, and took the time to ask him, "What's wrong?"

When Chu Lan opened her mouth, she was shocked: "Why don't we skip class."

Ji Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and didn't ask him the reason. Instead, he made a decision before saying, "What are you skipping class for?"

Hearing that he had no objection, Chu Lan said, "There's a restaurant in the city center. I ate there last time, and it's pretty good. It just so happens that the coupon will expire tomorrow...so, shall we go?"

Caught off guard by the invitation, Ji Xiao was at a loss, until Chu Lan frowned impatiently, then he nodded stiffly.He was immersed in nothingness for the next series of actions. He couldn't remember how he got the fake slip, how he got out of the school, and how he was pulled into a taxi by Chu Lan.

The smell of gasoline was pungent, and Chu Lan took out her MP4 to listen to music by her side. She only wore one earphone and kept her ear to listen to him.Ji Xiao woke up like a dream, and looked back at the school gate that was getting farther and farther away.

It seems to have escaped from the daily life all of a sudden, and fell into some unknown turning point.

Ji Xiao didn't know why Chu Lan started calling him to "do bad things", probably he was regarded as an accomplice or ally by Chu Lan, at least this position will not disappear in the short term.He sighed with complicated emotions, and while Chu Lan was not paying attention, he suddenly reached out and fulfilled his wish a long time ago in a lawless manner.

Quickly, he pinched Chu Lan's face.

Chu Lan: "What are you doing!"

Ji Xiao pretended to be nonchalant and watched the receding scenery outside the car window.

Chu Lan: "...crazy."

Finally with a tone of emotional change, Ji Xiao kept silent, just laughed, Chu Lan glanced at him helplessly, turned her head and put on the other earphone as well.

Ji Xiao took off his earphone, boldly stuffed it into his ear before Chu Lan had an attack, and smiled very warmly at him.Once he laughed, he looked so innocent and sincere that he lost his temper.With this awkward posture, Chu Lan, a person who must take revenge, decided to "forget it" with him for the first time.

I later remembered that the piano interlude was soft enough to soothe the smell of gasoline and the roar of the motor in the taxi.

A white earphone cable was connected between Ji Xiao and Chu Lan, and he moved in Chu Lan's direction calmly, feeling that the other party was not very resistant to this kind of intimacy.
