Back at Zhou's house at night, Ruan Xiao waved goodbye to Zhou Muye and went straight to the back kitchen.Ruan Manling happened to bring a pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms to the table.

After the mother and son had finished eating, Ruan Manling washed the dishes, and Ruan Xiao stayed beside Ruan Manling, dragging water stains with her fingertips to write and write on the table, obviously she had nothing to do, and refused to leave.

Amidst the sound of splashing water, Ruan Manling bent over to wash the pot, without even looking at Ruan Xiao: "Say something quickly."

Ruan Xiao had been rehearsing in his heart for a long time, pursed his lips, and wiped the water stains on the platform with his palm: "Mom, can you lend me your phone?"

"Huh? Why do you need a mobile phone?"

Being asked this question, Ruan Xiao lost the courage he had just mustered up again. He lowered his eyes, wiped the water stains on his hands with the hem of his clothes, and said with some difficulty: "I...I want to buy a pair of skates online."

For ordinary teenagers, asking their elders for something is a rare and common thing, and they can say it naturally, but Ruan Xiao grew up in an orphanage since he was a child, and he is not used to making appeals to others, or in other words, it is not easy to make appeals. He will be satisfied, and he can hardly use sentence patterns like "I think..." and "I want...", so when he asked Ruan Manling for something, he was very reserved.

The sound of running water suddenly stopped.

With one hand still immersed in the foamy water, Ruan Manling turned to look at Ruan Xiao: "Skates?"

"Yeah." Ruan Xiao buried his head even lower, "I went to the ice rink again today..."

Ruan Manling ordered him not to go to the ice rink last night, but he wanted a pair of skates today, and Ruan Xiao was ready to be rejected.

But Ruan Manling just looked at him for a while, then straightened up without saying a word, wiped her hands on her apron, took out her mobile phone from her pants pocket and handed it to him: "Here."

Ruan Xiao's black pupils suddenly brightened, and the corners of his lips couldn't hold back a smile. He took the phone with both hands: "Thank you, Mom!"

After getting his wish, even the tone of voice became visibly lively.

Ruan Manling gave him a reproachful look, as if to blame him for being polite to her, but she also smiled.

Ruan Xiao bent down on the table, boarded Taobao with her mobile phone in her hand, and stared at the screen intently: "I don't buy expensive ones, and I will go to the ice rink to play when I have free time."

"Don't be greedy for cheap, you still have to spend what you should spend." Ruan Manling turned on the faucet, "Do you know how to buy it? If you don't understand, ask Master Zhou for advice. Isn't he No.1 in the figure skating championship? Ask him for a recommendation." That's right."

"I know, I know!" Ruan Xiao nodded repeatedly, "Don't bother him."

When the search results came out, seeing the screen full of skates, the light in his eyes became even brighter.

Ruan Manling shook her head in disbelief: "You haven't learned how to skate, how do you know which one to buy?"

Ruan Xiao flicked the screen without raising his head: "I usually pay attention online."

Ruan Manling glanced at Ruan Xiao, and laughed "Yo".

Still going online to pay attention to figure skating?

She really didn't expect Ruan Xiao to be interested in this aspect.

Ruan Manling was happy: "If you really want to learn how to skate, Mom will hire a coach for you, and I will teach you one-on-one."

Ruan Manling didn't expect Ruan Xiao to learn anything. She knew that her son was weak in all aspects, so it's good that he grew up peacefully.It's just that Ruan Xiao has changed from not being interested in anything before to suddenly showing her love for something. This change moved her very much.

Ruan Xiao hurriedly waved at her: "I'm really just going to have fun, I don't invite a coach."

Ruan Manling smiled, lowered her head to clean the pot, and glanced at her phone. Seeing the white skates on the seller's show, she reminded: "Buy leather ones, be soft, don't hurt your feet."

"Mom, you don't need leather ones anymore." Ruan Xiao buried her head in looking for skates on her phone, and couldn't help but refute Ruan Manling, "Leather ones are easy to collapse, and if there is no support for the ankle, it will hurt. Usually pressing the blade is also good." Whether it is jumping or jumping, figure skating has high requirements on the stability of the ankle joint, so it is definitely not the softer the material, the better. Now professional athletes use skates made of carbon fiber, because they are hard enough, which can not only protect the ankle, but also support It has strength and is not easy to change shape.”

Ruan Manling couldn't hide her surprise, she looked at Ruan Xiao who was eloquent.

At this time, Ruan Xiao hesitated for a moment with his fingertips, slid away the product in front of him, and muttered with some distress: "Although carbon fiber is good, it is too expensive, and domestic ones cost up to [-] yuan. I'd better choose glass fiber, which is hard enough." ..."

At this moment, Ruan Manling raised her shoulders and rubbed her cheeks, she was inexplicably jealous, she stopped looking at Ruan Xiao, and continued to wash the pot, but her strength was stronger than before, and her body seemed to be continuously generating strength.

Listening to Ruan Xiao's words at the moment, no one would associate him with imbecile, but would be surprised that he knew so much about skates. Such a change is gratifying, and it also made her feel at this moment that all waiting is worth it.

Since Ruan Xiao gave himself a limited budget, there were not many brands to choose from.He propped up the table to pick and choose, and finally chose the best-selling beginner skates. He didn't even need to pick the skates, because they were matching anyway.Such skates can't be expected to be very good, but they are still good enough for normal skating.

After Ruan Xiao added the skates to the shopping cart, he politely returned the phone to Ruan Manling.

Ruan Manling couldn't move her hands, she turned to the counter and said, "Put it there, I'll wash the dishes and pay for you."

Ruan Xiao squinted and smiled: "Thank you, Mom."

Ruan Xiao went back to the room first, Ruan Manling wiped her hands, picked up her mobile phone, walked to the table and sat down.

She opened the shopping cart and saw beginner skate shoes lying inside, priced at 298 yuan.

Ruan Manling hesitated before placing the order, but finally returned without paying.

Open Footprints on the page instead.

All the product pages that Ruan Xiao browsed just now will be recorded on it.

Recalling Ruan Xiao's expression of longing and pain for several shoes just now, Ruan Manling shook her head and smiled pitifully.

***

Before going to bed that night, Ruan Xiao was just about to climb up the ladder, and put the electronic communication watch on the side to vibrate.

Ruan Xiao poked his head and saw that it was Zhou Muye.

Zhou Muye: [7:30]

Just send a time.

But Ruan Xiao understood that Zhou Muye was reminding him to meet in the front yard at 07:30 tomorrow morning, and go to school together at that time.

Ruan Xiao smiled knowingly, took a few steps of slippers to the table, and replied: 【Okay. 】

After thinking for a while, with a tentative intention, he sent a message: [By the way, don't you think it's strange that I'm pregnant? 】

After sending, hold the watch tightly with both hands, and wait for the other party to reply.

After getting along for a day, Ruan Xiao became more and more suspicious that Zhou Muye was the boy who made his heart flutter for a moment.

One is because Zhou Muye is exactly the same as the boy he met before he fell down the ladder, and the other is because the feeling Zhou Muye gave him was different from the feeling Zha Gong gave him when he was reading the book.

Maybe it was true as Zhou Muye said, he had amnesia, or he was putting on a show to deliberately annoy Bai Xiyu, but it's a coincidence that they look exactly the same.

But no matter how much he suspected, Ruan Xiao had no evidence.

Apart from claiming to have amnesia, Zhou Muye has forgotten some things, but it can be seen that he is very familiar with the surrounding environment, whether it is on campus or at home, he is not at all uncomfortable.

The Zhou family has a yellow, which is a cross between a meteorite border shepherd and a husky.

Today when they went home, Ah Huang rushed out of the house and threw himself into Zhou Muye's arms. Zhou Muye lifted A Huang up very smoothly and naturally.That action seemed to have been done countless times.

Dogs can only have that kind of trust and tacit understanding with their owners.

From this angle, Zhou Muye seemed to belong to this world.

Ruan Xiao wants to know the answer, but also needs to hide his identity as a book-transporter, so he can only use the topic of pregnancy to test it out.

Because in their original world view, a man's childbirth can definitely be called a wonderful thing that shocked my whole family, but whenever Zhou Muye showed any discomfort about his pregnancy, Ruan Xiao would continue to ask.

After a while, there was a reply.

Zhou Muye: [It's quite strange. 】

Zhou Muye: 【He hit it all at once. 】

Ruan Xiao: "..."

Well, he will no longer doubt.

***

For the next two days, Ruan Xiao didn't go to the ice rink with Zhou Muye.

The ridicule of Bai Xiyu, Chen Mo and others that day did not completely affect him.

Zhou Muye asked him once when school was over on Wednesday, and after getting the answer that he would not go, he said, "Let Lao Jin take you back first?"

"No, no, no." Ruan Xiao waved his hand, "I'll just take the school bus."

Zhou Muye carried his shoulder bag loosely: "Should the school bus be transferred to another bus?"

"Yeah." Ruan Xiao recalled the route on the map, "It's only three stops."

Zhou Muye's eyes lightly shifted to his waist and abdomen, as if reminding him of something.

Ruan Xiao's face turned red in an instant, and he hugged his stomach again, bending over.

His voice was soft and waxy: "Don't look...it's not that exaggerated..."

After a long time, I was a little unconvinced: "The bus also has special seats for the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant women."

"..."

Zhou Muye stood aside without moving, his gaze moved upwards.Because Ruan Xiao lowered his head, a piece of snowy skin was exposed on the back of his neck, and the skin on the edge of his collar was smudged with a nice layer of powder.

One can't help but wonder if this person has that color all over his body when he is shy.

Zhou Muye didn't stay any longer, and walked out of the classroom. When he passed by, he tapped his knuckles on the table.

The voice was cold, and it was still the same sentence: "Let Lao Jin take you back first."

***

On Sunday night, Zhou Muye was doing homework at his desk.

His room is on the first floor, facing south, the window faces the glass greenhouse outside, and the desk is just facing the window.It's autumn, the temperature is nice, and the double pane windows are open until bedtime.

Just at this time.

A figure sprang out of the window.

If it was an ordinary person, it would have screamed in fright.Thanks to Zhou Muye's calm nature, or maybe he knew who the visitor was, he slowly raised his eyelids after he finished writing the last proof symbol in a leisurely manner.

Outside, Ruan Xiao stood there with a smile, with a bit of complacency in the corners of his eyes and brows.Black pupils, white skin, red lips, even in the dim night, they are beautiful enough to be shocking.

Zhou Muye scanned his face calmly, put down his pen, raised his hand and rubbed the back of his neck, and said softly, "What are you doing?"

"Aye, I have shoes!" Ruan Xiao announced the good news when he came up.

He is short, less than 1.7 meters tall, and his shoulders were caught by the window sill. With some difficulty, he leaned over and raised the skates to a position higher than the window sill, and couldn't wait to show Zhou Muye: "Look, Qixing's, I Mom bought it for me!"

Zhou Muye glanced at the pair of pure white skate shoes, and suddenly understood why Ruan Xiao was so proud.

"Very professional." He commented lightly.

Ruan Xiao couldn't hold back his chatterbox: "I didn't want to buy such a professional one, but my mother quietly went to the mall to buy me a pair, and it also came with a pair of pattern99rev. The last time I saw Bai Xiyu also had a pair of similar configuration, it must be very expensive. But look at the sponge-valved design on the upper, it's really comfortable..."

Zhou Muye gradually leaned forward, resting his chin on one hand, and listened to Ruan Xiao introduce his new skates through a window. His expression was as cool as ever, but he didn't interrupt, nor was he distracted. He just listened patiently.

After Ruan Xiao finished speaking, his hands were sore, he let go of his arms: "Aye, take me to the club tomorrow, I have shoes."

Zhou Muye looked at him distantly for a moment, then put down the hand that was supporting his cheek: "Are you sure you can slide?"

Ruan Xiao smiled and nodded: "Believe me, I can really skate."

At noon the next day, Ruan Xiao returned to work before lunch break, and as soon as he went up to the third floor, he saw Bai Xiyu talking to Zhou Muye at the door behind their class.

Zhou Muye leaned against the door frame, his eyes drooping. Although he didn't say a word, it just let people know that he was listening quietly.

Bai Xiyu was not as relaxed as Zhou Muye, his expression was cold, his back was straight, and there was some awkwardness in not looking at the person in front of him.

Ruan Xiao only vaguely heard Bai Xiyu say: "You can talk to Coach Xiao about the rest, I just received the notice..."

It seemed that the conversation was over, Bai Xiyu turned away proudly without waiting for Zhou Muye's reaction.

In the next second, he saw Ruan Xiao in front of him who would not be able to join the class in the future.

Bai Xiyu's footsteps paused slightly, but his expression gradually relaxed. He slowed down and walked towards this side.

Since I practiced figure skating since I was a child, I have a good figure. When I walk slowly, my posture is more elegant and noble.

Ruan Xiao saw Bai Xiyu's intentions, so he simply stopped on the spot.

Qin Shuangqi glanced at Ruan Xiao: "Aren't you leaving?"

Ruan Xiao stared at Bai Xiyu, but whispered to Qin Shuangqi beside him, "Look ahead."

Qin Shuangqi took a look: "What's wrong?"

Ruan Xiao: "He looks like he's looking for fault, I can't leave."

Qin Shuangqi: "... Bao, are you not leaving? Do you want to be picked on by him?"

"..." Ruan Xiao lowered her face, blinked her eyelashes, and turned her head to look at Qin Shuangqi, "You don't seem to have any confidence in me."

Qin Shuangqi was overwhelmed by the three-pointed, seven-pointed cute face, rolled up two sleeves, patted Ruan Xiao on the shoulder, and leaned against the wall to give spiritual support.

Bai Xiyu came to Ruan Xiao at this time, and his attitude was quite friendly: "Ruan Xiao, I haven't seen you much recently, by the way, since you said you wanted to buy skates last time, you haven't been seen, what's wrong? What kind of difficulties did you encounter? Yet?"

Ruan Xiao was about to speak.

Bai Xiyu interrupted the words with a thoughtful voice again: "Is it because I can't afford the shoes, or because I can't stand on the ice?"

Ruan Xiao met his gaze, remained silent for a moment, his black eyes darkened slightly: "I got the shoes, my mother bought them, the Qixing ones are the same as yours."

Bai Xiyu raised his eyebrows.

Ruan Xiao: "I'm going to the club after school today, I hope you'll be there."

Bai Xiyu looked across.

Ever since Ruan Xiao's black eyes burst out with anger, a different kind of vitality burst out of his whole body, which is very eye-catching.

He couldn't help being a little upset, and he looked away, only to see the entire Class [-] of Senior Three looking at them.

Bai Xiyu tapped his side with his fingertips, and on a whim, pushed open the window beside him, and said to the whole class in a clear voice: "Recently, I have almost finished practicing the program I performed, and I will rehearse after school today. There is no video in the middle, everyone is welcome to watch, and I will announce this news in the grade group at that time."

Bai Xiyu is a well-known figure skater in the whole country. Usually, it is hard to get a ticket to watch his performances. When the students heard that they could watch his shows directly, the whole class burst into cheers.

Amidst the noisy voices, Bai Xiyu walked forward, and when he passed Ruan Xiao, he lowered his head slightly: "How can I just be there? Since you have such a strong desire to show off, how about bringing the whole grade to see you? Huh?"

The author has something to say:

How do you evaluate Bai Xiyu?

Ruan Xiao: God assists.
