are you a cat

There has always been no spring in Rongcheng.

The weather in March is hot and cold with ups and downs.Yesterday was a sunny day close to [-] degrees. Today the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees, and the weather turned into thunderstorm.

The sky outside the window was dim, the thunder was rolling, and the rainwater hit the window glass and exploded into sprays.

Let the wind and rain outside be turbulent, and the high school students who are about to go on vacation can't wait to fly out with flapping wings. The hearts that yearn for freedom are not affected by the bad weather at all.

In the penultimate row by the window, the boy sleeping on the table had his entire upper body hidden in the curtains, with only one hand exposed, pressing the curtains on the back of his head.

The long fingers of the hand resting on the curtain are slightly curled up, the knuckles are thin and beautiful.

As soon as the teacher left the classroom, he screamed ghostly, which was really annoying.The boy closed the curtains and turned his head in another direction.

As soon as he made a movement, his shoulder was immediately poked by the pen on the back table: "Chen'er, are you awake? School is over."

Yechen remained in the posture of lying on the table without moving.

Bai Jingping knew that he had been woken up, but he was too lazy to move, so he poked him again: "Chen'er?"

Yechen struggled to pull himself out of the curtain, lazily leaned back on the chair, stretched his long legs forward, and stepped carelessly into the area of ​​the front table.

He hasn't woken up yet, half asleep and staring.

Bai Jingping called out again: "Chen'er?"

Yechen was very upset: "Bai Jingping, what is your name called Hun?"

The boy who just woke up had a hoarse sleepiness in his voice.

"Are you awake?" Bai Jingping smiled, not feeling at all that his behavior of disturbing people's dreams was unkind.

The sky outside the window was gloomy, the air conditioner in the classroom was turned on neither too high nor too low, and the temperature was just right, and the air pouring in through the ventilated window was filled with cool moisture. This condition was perfect for sleeping.

After being woken up, Ye Chen's expression was not very good-looking: "Should I poke you like this?"

Sensing the danger, Bai Jingping laughed twice, and quickly withdrew his tentative hand on the verge of being beaten: "What did Brother Octopus ask you to do just now?"

Brother Squid's name is Zhang Yu, and he is the head teacher of Yechen's class. He is tall and thin. Not only his name is a homonym for Octopus, but his face is somewhat similar to Brother Squid in SpongeBob SquarePants, so he got his nickname.

Yechen rubbed his face, trying to drive out the chaos that just woke up, and the girl at the next table gasped with his ruthless technique and strength.

His tone remained the same: "Apart from my bad grades, what else can I say."

As he spoke, he took out a test paper that was kneaded into pickles from the belly of the table, stretched it out reluctantly, and flicked the appalling nine points in the upper right corner.

Yechen's academic performance is very stable, and he ranked first in the bottom of the year for two years in high school.

As a conscientious teacher of the people, Brother Octopus has never given up on him. Every time the test results come out, he has to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. up!

It's a pity that no matter whether it's harsh words or earnest admonitions, Yechen always goes in one ear and out the other.

Yechen's brows were still sleepy, and he yawned and took out a can of Coke from the belly of the table.

"You're so sleepy, why did you go last night?" Bai Jingping couldn't help asking, "Huahua?"

The mist on the Coke bottle had already turned into water in the air-conditioned room, and Yechen took a sip from the pull ring with one hand, and said in a voice with a little irritability of being forcibly awakened: "Playing games."

The stimulation of the bursting of iced carbon dioxide bubbles finally woke Ye Chen up completely, and he glanced out of the window out of the corner of his eye: "Is it raining?"

"You slept so soundly." Bai Jingping couldn't bear it anymore, "Did you not hear the sound of rain with such a strong emotion?"

Yechen really didn't hear it, he said "Oh" and asked again: "Have you brought an umbrella?"

"I still want to ask you." Bai Jingping said.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and the latter took out a children's umbrella with a bear print from the belly of the table and put it on the table like a compromise: "My sister's... I was in a hurry to go out in the morning, and I took the wrong one."

The fully automatic folding umbrella opens with a snap when the switch is pressed, and there are two cute bear ears on the umbrella surface.

If it weren't for the heavy rain outside, Bai Jingping really didn't want to take out this umbrella.

Bai Jingping rubbed his nose and suggested, "Why don't we wait for the rain to subside before leaving, or... let's find a girl to change?"

As he spoke, his eyes scanned the female classmates who hadn't left in the classroom like detectors. Anyway, he, Bai Jingping, had no face to go out with this umbrella.

"Why do you have so many things to do?" Yechen snatched the umbrella, pinched Bai Jingping under his arm, and the two of them rushed into the rain holding the umbrella, "What's the difference if they're both umbrellas?"

Bai Jingping wanted to cry but had no tears, thinking that there was a big difference.

At least change to a bigger umbrella, he doesn't have to rest his head on Ye Chen's chest like this, his shoulders are not exposed to the rain, but his butt is soaked.I don't know if there will be stories of "those two perverts huddled under a child's umbrella" going around in school next week.

Thinking of this, Bai Jingping buried his face in Yechen's chest again, and wrapped his arms around his waist, squeezing tighter.

Bean-sized raindrops slammed on the umbrella surface, and the rainwater gathered into a column and rolled down the umbrella beads, blowing up at the feet and being crushed by the hurried footsteps.Crowds are crowded at the school gate, crowded with private cars picking up children from school and electric cars parked on the side of the road.

Bai Jingping looked around, saw his family's car, and asked Ye Chen: "Chen'er, is anyone here to pick you up today? Shall I take you back?"

"No, I saw my mother." Yechen saw the familiar black BMW, stuffed the umbrella into Bai Jingping's palm, ran over in two steps against the heavy rain, opened the car door and jumped up in one go.

With the warm air in the car, Yu Xin handed over a towel in time: "Did you bring an umbrella?"

"Yeah." Ye Chen wiped the water from his hair, Yu Xin said, "I just bought some clothes for you at the mall, you should change them first, so as not to catch a cold."

Ye Chen glanced to the side, and several shopping bags with trendy brand logos were piled up together.He took off his soaked school uniform, grabbed one from inside, and put it on without even pulling the tag.

Ye Chen leaned back in the seat, only raised his eyelids to look at the driver's seat until now in the car.

He asked, "Where's my dad?"

Yu Xin turned up the air conditioner two degrees, followed the traffic jam outside the school gate and moved towards the main road bit by bit.

In a thunderstorm day, the rain curtain is thick and foggy, and the road is full of pedestrians and electric vehicles, which can be easily scratched if you don’t pay attention. Yu Xin’s attention is all on the road ahead: “I’m on a business trip, let me Help him pick you up."

"help?"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Yechen became angry, sneered, and his voice was as cold as the weather outside the window: "You two are quite clear."

Yu Xin was at a loss for words for a moment: "Mom didn't mean that."

Yechen sat in the backseat with a face drawn, closed his eyes, and the word "impatient" was clearly written on his face.

Yu Xin changed the subject: "Chenchen, can mom find you a tutor?"

Yechen frowned when he heard the word "Chenchen" and didn't say anything.

Yechen has a nickname, Ningning, which means peace and tranquility.

However, he also has a half-brother with the same surname as Yu Xin, whose name is Ning, which also means peace and tranquility.

Yechen still remembers when Yu Ning was just born, Yu Xin told him that his younger brother will be named Ning Ning like you in the future, and my mother hopes that you are all safe and sound.But something went wrong when they called out, whenever Yu Xin called Ning Ning, both Ye Chen and Yuning thought they were calling themselves.

Then slowly, in order to distinguish between the two, the Ning Ning in Yu Xin's mouth changed to a single finger Yu Ning, and she began to call Ye Chen——

"Chen Chen?"

Without waiting for a response, Yu Xin called out again.

Ye Chen leaned his head on the back seat, with a cold attitude: "No need."

"I still need to find one." Yu Xin insisted in her gentle voice, "Do you still remember Uncle Xu's son? How old is your older than you? You still met when I married your Uncle Xu." Che Only her voice echoed in the room, "Brother Xu went abroad in high school. His grades are very good, and he is easy to get along with..."

Yechen heard the meaning in her words, and opened his eyes abruptly: "I don't need it."

Yu Xin turned the steering wheel and turned around an intersection, as if she didn't hear it: "Don't run around tomorrow, he just has time tomorrow, and my mother has already made an appointment with him. When your test results come out, Teacher Zhang will come back again." Call me, Chenchen, mom doesn't expect you to be admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University, but you should go to one of the worst majors..."

Yu Xin babbled, and even Ye Chen's expression became irritable. Before he could speak, Yu Xin helplessly interrupted: "Chen Chen, you are obedient. Mom is tired of taking care of my brother, so don't let me Is mom worried?"

Yechen couldn't hear this kind of words the most: "Did I let you give birth?"

His tone was very aggressive, with thorns in his words, and Yu Xin was also a little angry: "You have to raise your grades for me."

Yechen sneered, and looked straight into Yu Xin's eyes in the rearview mirror: "Since you have already made up your mind, why are you asking me hypocritically?"

He turned his head and looked out the window, showing a gesture of resistance to communication.

The rain drew intermittent water marks on the windows, shattered the neon lights on the roadside, and seemed to lock the microscopic scene of the entire city into the water droplets.

The conversation, like so many times before, ended badly.

Yu Xin sighed in her heart, Yechen was very obedient and sensible when she was a child, but when did it become more and more difficult to communicate with Yechen, and the relationship between mother and son became more and more distant?

The silence in the car lasted all the way home, Yechen slammed the car door and was about to leave, Yu Xin reminded him: "Pick up your things, I'll make a call and come up again."

He stared at Yu Xin with a cold face for a moment, and then he took the big and small shopping bags in the back seat and got on the elevator.

Opening the door, Ning Ning sat on the cabinet in the entrance, staring at him with blue eyes: "Meow."

That's right, Yechen has a cat, a puppet in a key color.For some reason, he named the cat Ning Ning.

Ye Chen put the things aside and sat down on the sofa.Ning Ning followed him on catwalks, jumped onto his lap with a light leap, and found a comfortable position in his arms to nest up.

After petting the cat for a while, Yu Xin opened the door and came in after finishing the phone call.

She looked at the shopping bag that was ruthlessly thrown at the entrance, and asked Yechen: "Mom bought you a new pair of sneakers, do you want to try it?"

There was a bit of careful flattery in the words, Yechen stared at her for a while, and when Yu Xin was about to pass him a step and said it was too late to try again next time, he patted Ningning's butt lightly, and put After chasing away the cat in his arms, he stood up from the sofa.

There is a huge hook on the shoe box, Yu Xin said, "Quickly see if you like it?"

Although Yechen already had a lot of sneakers in his shoe cabinet, he still unpacked the box as he said, and even had a glimmer of expectation when he opened the box.

A pair of brand new bicar blue aj1s lay quietly inside.

Yechen froze for a moment, unable to tell whether it was anger or disappointment.

In his shoe cabinet, there is a pair of exactly the same shoes that have been worn countless times.

When Yu Xin came to pick him up last time, he wore it on his feet.

He closed the shoebox and began to issue the eviction order: "When are you going back?"

I don't know if he realized the gap between him and his son, but Yu Xin actually said: "Mom won't go back today."

He also paused.

Ning Ning was still rubbing against his feet, and the soft cat fur brushed against the back of his hand again and again.

a little itchy.

In order to facilitate going to school, Ye Zeyang bought Ye Chen a house near the school, a three-bedroom apartment of [-] square meters.The master bedroom belonged to Ye Chen, one of the two secondary bedrooms was converted into a study and the other was reserved for him and Yu Xin to stay overnight, but in fact the secondary bedroom was almost never used when it was bought from this house.

Yu Xin and Ye Zeyang formed their own families long ago and had children separately. Compared with the four or five-year-old children in the family, the 17-year-old Ye Chen is like a redundant product of their failed marriage.

He has been living alone since junior high school, and this is the first time Yu Xin wants to stay at his home.

Yu Xin rubbed his head with a smile, and asked again, "Do you like the shoes, do you want to try them?"

This is the second time Yu Xin asks him if he wants to try this pair of shoes, and Ye Chen wants to have something to try, it's not like he hasn't worn them.

But in the end he dragged the shoe stool and sat down with a cold face.
