Chapter 49 The First Encounter
Li Yinglan's 13th birthday was celebrated by Zhuo Yao for him. Li Xiaojun and Li Yuanzhou had offered to celebrate it for him before, but Li Yinglan refused. He doesn't like cakes, doesn't have many friends, and doesn't like to be lively. He wants to organize a party. Everyone is making a fuss and eating sweets together is nothing but irritability for him, so he never likes this kind of activity. In addition, the time of these people in the family is not fixed. From time to time, a pigeon or something will be released on the same day. A lot of unpleasantness, and there will be no more suggestions in this regard in the future, and it will be over by giving a gift at about the same time every year.
Not to mention Li Yinglan, Gao Kun also missed his birthday last year because of this, and it has been more than a month since I asked about it, and in the end it was Li Yinglan who asked him to treat him to two bowls of Mala Tang as compensation.
And this year, it happened that Zhuo Yao was free, so he brought his nephew over to celebrate together.Zhuo Yao also knew Li Yinglan's preference. He said it was a celebration, but there was no ostentation. At most, he would add a manager together. It would be a formality for everyone to have a meal together in the room. However, Li Yinglan, who had never asked for anything in the past, proposed to bring Come and play with your own tutor.
Zhuo Yao knew Gao Kun, since the first time he sent Li Yinglan back, he heard him mention it a few times, even if it was only occasionally, it was not easy to say these few words from Li Yinglan's mouth.It is said that to make a child like you, you just need to be nice to him, but Li Yinglan is the most easy and hard to please child, it is useless for you to be nice to him. Li Xiaoyun's previous lovers, classmates, teachers, Zhuo Yao's messy work partners, many of them are flattering and close to him like a little prince when they meet him, but Li Yinglan can easily tell whether you are sincere to him, or just a whim.He is not a cat or dog or a tool, and he has no interest in being a catalyst in another person's story.
So when the birthday meal was over, Gao Kun was about to leave, but when Li Yinglan looked at Zhuo Yao, Zhuo Yao paused and said, "It's getting late, let's sleep here."
But he only has one set of bedding here for people to stay in. Watching the two of them returning to the room together, Pan Mingju sighed while drinking champagne: "Come on, from now on, the kid will have a playmate to cover him, and you, old uncle, will finally be able to go out less often." Fuck it."
And Li Yinglan, who returned to the bedroom, was still holding a small round fish tank in her hand, which contained Gao Kun's birthday present to him this time, a few goldfish.
Naturally, Gao Kun's economic conditions can't compare with Zhuo Yao's extravagant gifts. Li Yinglan also knows how important he is. Usually when the two of them go out together, Gao Kun rarely asks Gao Kun to pay the bill. Gao Kun is trying to be brave, so let’s wait for the child to be unhappy, so this time he naturally can’t pretend to be a big money, after thinking about it, he thinks it’s best to give some living things that can accompany Li Yinglan, and it’s not too much. Rowling affects his life.
Facts have proved that this thing is really a good gift, Li Yinglan likes it very much, she has been watching it since eating, and continued when she went upstairs, and now she saw Gao Kun asked him to take a bath before going to bed, and he was still lying there.
Gao Kun also leaned over to take a look. The fish was a beautiful orange-red color, wagging its tail happily in the water, and when illuminated by the headlight, it almost glowed a dazzling golden-red color, which was very beautiful.
"What's wrong?" Gao Kun asked.
Li Yinglan pursed her lips and asked for a moment, "Will they die?"
Gao Kun laughed: "No, I just bought it."
"What if I raise him to death?"
Gao Kun was stunned for a moment, and thought for a while: "I'm dead... just buy two more."
"But it's not the original ones..."
"This..." Gao Kun was stumped all of a sudden, he was not as thoughtful as Li Yinglan, "The boss said that he can live for a long time, why don't you... stop raising it?"
Li Yinglan grabbed the bathtub in front of her face: "It's already mine! I didn't say no!"
"Okay, okay, then raise it, and you will live well." Gao Kun smiled and walked over to make Li Yinglan's bed.
Li Yinglan went to take a shower and came out to blow her hair with a hair dryer. Gao Kun asked him: "Have you finished your homework? I got the exercises for this year's senior high school entrance examination. Let's do it tomorrow?" Li Yinglan's grades He is also outstanding. Although he is only in the second year of junior high school, many subjects are taught in advance by the school, and he understands it better than his peers. In addition, there is an all-round top student like Gao Kun beside him, so he can't think he can't be excellent.
Li Yinglan said "hmm" and went to pack her schoolbag.
Gao Kun looked back at his messy hair, stepped forward and picked up the hair dryer and stood behind him to blow it again.
Li Yinglan's eyes were squinted by the broken hair, she was digging around in her schoolbag with one hand like a blind man groping in the dark, when suddenly there was a snap, and something fell out.
Gao Kun bent down to pick it up, and the hair dryer stopped.
Li Yinglan turned around, and saw Gao Kun holding a letter. The envelope was light blue, with a fragrance, and there were broken diamonds on it. It was a heart. At first glance, it was popular among little girls nowadays. It was written in beautiful handwriting on the front. Author: Li Yinglan (accepted)
Gao Kun hooked the corner of his mouth, handed over the letter and said, "This...do you want to read it?"
Li Yinglan took it, and was about to throw it into the trash can, when she suddenly turned over the letter and pointed to the heart and asked Gao Kun: "If it was you, would you read it?"
Gao Kun paused, and said, "I...I'll take a look." Seeing Li Yinglan raised her eyebrows, he explained, "It took time for him to write it." As for accepting it or not, that's up to him.
Li Yinglan put down her schoolbag and sat down at the desk: "How many times have you received it?"
Gao Kun didn't answer for a moment.
Li Yinglan looked at the boy in front of him up and down. When he first met him, Gao Kun was 14 meters tall when he was 1.7 years old. Now more than a year has passed, Gao Kun eats three bowls of rice every day, and he is still alive like a green bamboo. Crazy long hair, the latest medical examination has passed 1.8 meters three.At this moment, he is wearing an old man's vest and boxer shorts with long hands and long feet. He should have looked exactly like the uncle in the movies of the last century who would lie under the tree by the door with a cattail fan in summer to enjoy the shade, but because he was wearing it on Gao Kun's body, these His ancient taste was completely covered up by his own temperament.
Gao Kun's facial features are actually very three-dimensional and even profound, and they are of the stern type. When they are fully developed, they should be more prominent and full of distance in the crowd, but because he rarely has a cold face, once he opens his mouth, he will His bad-spoken personality was immediately exposed, and his gentle tone weakened the lethality of his appearance. Even if such a boy has a poor family background and receives a student loan from the school, he has excellent grades, strong sports, and a strong personality. Well, it's hard to be unpopular in school, maybe even more popular than Li Yinglan, love letters like this must have been softened.
However, because Gao Kun is busy with his livelihood, he devotes all his private time to the tutoring career. For him at school, he just studies hard and studies again. Unless the teacher assigns some help tasks for the class cadres, he basically has no time to socialize with his classmates. No, and there is no pocket money to share with others, so Li Yinglan hasn't seen a few times since Gao Kun entered high school and now he has a more intimate relationship with any friend during the break, let alone a woman.
But this does not mean that such people do not exist. Gao Kun may have a more colorful campus life, but it was delayed due to various reasons, and Li Yinglan knew that she was one of them, and accounted for a large proportion.
"What kind of girl do you like?" Li Yinglan looked up at him and asked.
"I haven't thought about it." Gao Kun frowned.
Li Yinglan burst out with an astonishing remark: "Zhao Tongtong?"
Gao Kun was taken aback: "How do you know her?"
Li Yinglan narrowed her eyes and smiled, and called softly: "Akun..."
In Gao Kun's stunned expression, Li Yinglan said again, "Is that how I called you? Well, that's a good name, and I like it."
He called Gao Kun "Brother" when he first persuaded him to donate, but later he called him by his full name when he got acquainted, and occasionally called him "Teacher" when he called in front of others. , but inexplicably made him a little embarrassed.
Gao Kun scratched his hair, thinking under what circumstances Li Yinglan would know about Zhao Tongtong, the only person he had contact with was...
"Did you go to see my training?" Gao Kun suddenly realized.
In fact, Gao Kun has always had the habit of exercising. According to him, he lived in the countryside when he was a child, and he had a lot of activities. He roamed all over the mountains and plains, so he was able to run and jump better than ordinary children. When he arrived in U City, his energy was still strong. , in the group rented house, Gao Kun is used to doing fifty push-ups and fifty sit-ups before going to bed. Since he is familiar with the way from home to Green Rock Garden, he can pick up Li Yinglan in the morning without taking a car. It took half an hour to trot all the way to arrive. If you don’t have time, come here to wash your face, and if you have time, you can take a shower.
This kind of exercise is not meaningless, and it is also in such a physical condition that Gao Kun can still help out at the fruit stand under the high-intensity studies. From morning to night, he can sleep for a few hours without sore waist or leg pain. It's like being reborn. For a person like him, the only capital is a healthy and young body and head. It is absolutely necessary and helpful to maintain it in the best condition and improve it properly.
Recently, under the mobilization of the teacher, Gao Kun signed up for the summer sports meeting of No. 4 Middle School, which was also his last sports meeting here, so even though the time was tight, Gao Kun still agreed. In the 100X[-]-meter relay race, he was the last baton, so in the last two weeks, every evening self-study, he went to the playground to run in with everyone, until a few days ago he easily won honor for the class.And Li Yinglan probably saw it at that time.
Gao Kun said, "Why didn't you call me when you came to our school?"
Li Yinglan sighed, "You are a beautiful sister."
Gao Kun was a little embarrassed: "Oh, don't talk nonsense, we are classmates."
"I saw she handed you water and towels, and you sat on the runway chatting together, is this your first love?"
Gao Kun was helpless because he knew everything, and he emphasized again: "No, I didn't agree to her... I didn't talk to her after the sports meeting."
"Huh?" Li Yinglan rolled her eyes unexpectedly, "I can actually go home by myself in the future, I already know the way."
"No." Gao Kun was rarely in a hurry, "It's late now, it's already dark at 06:30, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk after getting off the car."
But Li Yinglan interrupted him again: "The one they say they like is not the same as the one they married."
Gao Kun finally couldn't help laughing after listening to Li Yinglan's little adult's words: "Who told you this?" At a young age, he still used the tone of a love expert.
"Am I wrong?" Li Yinglan opened her eyes wide, "If you have a girl you like now, just be with her, anyway, you won't marry them in the future."
"I don't have a girl I like," Gao Kun sighed, and continued, "I won't get married either!"
He said the last sentence so seriously that he even raised his voice slightly. After he finished speaking, he saw Li Yinglan staring at him with rapt attention, her own reflection reflected in her bright eyes. Gao Kun felt that he had made a mistake and clenched his fists. , secretly thinking about what to say to a child.
He thought that Li Yinglan would continue to ask curiously, but unexpectedly, the other party followed up with a sentence: "I won't get married either..." The sense of approval in that tone was so obvious that even Gao Kun couldn't ignore it.
Neither of them spoke immediately, and the room fell into an abrupt silence.
Gao Kun's answer was just to rub Li Yinglan's head, hurriedly stuffed all the books into his schoolbag, and then let the child go to bed.It seems that he didn't take his words seriously. He only felt that the child was easily affected by the current feelings. He didn't get enough warmth, so that he would come up with a lot of unbelievable ideas. Maybe after two years, he would feel stupid. forget.
But what Gao Kun didn't notice was that when he made many decisions, he was actually just a child who hadn't grown up...
-
After entering the third year of high school, Gao Kun's schoolwork naturally became more busy, but in order not to affect Li Yinglan's make-up lessons for the third year of junior high school, he often lives with Li's family recently. Although both of them are smart children, they are geniuses. If you don't read books or do it yourself to produce all the knowledge, the time you should spend must not be saved.
Hard work still pays off. In the first semester of the third year of junior high school, Li Yinglan won the first prize in a math competition in U City, and was recommended by the teacher to participate in the next stage of the national competition. She was so happy that she wanted to have a party again, but Li Yinglan naturally stopped her. He only said that this time it was because of Gao Kun's tutoring that he was able to do such a large amount of questions in a short period of time, and thank him as well.
For this reason, Li Xiaoyun directly gave Gao Kun another half of his salary, and allowed him to accompany Li Yinglan to V city to participate in the competition next weekend.
Not to mention Li Yinglan, Gao Kun also missed his birthday last year because of this, and it has been more than a month since I asked about it, and in the end it was Li Yinglan who asked him to treat him to two bowls of Mala Tang as compensation.
