wait, i'm chasing you

A few days after returning from Sanya, the cram school started.

Wen Luo and Shen Yiman also took the placement test before school started. The four of them were all in the same class except Shen Yiman.

The girl Shen Yiman has always been very strict with herself, and she is also the best in culture class among several people, so it is not surprising that she is assigned to a key class.What was more surprising was Wen Luo, who actually aroused his fighting spirit because he was not in the same class as Shen Yiman.

After all, it was the last sprint before the college entrance examination, and it was a newly formed class. Everyone still had a little unfamiliar reserve, and they all studied very seriously.

Except for taking time to meet Chen Yiran before school started, Hao Chen basically spent his time on making up lessons. Apart from a simple chat before going to bed at night, Chen Yiran rarely sent him messages.

These days are basically the most serious period of time in Hao Chen's study life. It wasn't until the day when Xiao Yueqi came to see him that he spent the rest time before evening self-study for the first time.

Chen Yiran's birthday is on the last day of February, just in time for the weekend.

In the past, Xiao Yueqi took care of choosing the cake for Chen Yiran's birthday, but now that he knew Hao Chen, a good friend of his brother's, he simply dragged him together to choose a cake for Chen Yiran.

Speaking of the cake style, Hao Chen remembered the picture that Shen Yiman drew on the cake on his birthday. Although he didn't have much cooking talent, if he just decorated the cake, he should be able to do it.

Xiao Yueqi has absolutely no objection to DIY cakes. This kind of fun and unique operation, in his words, is very cool.

In order to prevent confusion at the scene, Hao Chen drew a sketch before leaving.After having a casual dinner in the mall, the two of them headed straight to the bakery.

In the end, although there was still a certain gap between the finished product and his imagination, Hao Chen still felt pretty good about himself. At least on his birthday, Chen Yiran still recognized that it was a cartoon figure, and smiled for a long time while covering his eyes.

Sunday afternoon is the only holiday time for Hao Chen and the others. I don’t know how Chen Yiran communicated with Xiao Yueqi in advance. The classmates who arrived stopped me.

"Xiao Yueqi! Just now Li Xinrui said that he wants to challenge you, we are going to call you, come quickly! Challenge, challenge!"

The little girl who stopped Xiao Yueqi looked excited, and the students around the claw machine also echoed enthusiastically. Almost everyone had one or two dolls in their hands, which looked like spoils of war after playing for a long time.

Surrounded by classmates was also a little boy in front of the claw machine, with his chin raised slightly, and with the eyes of a little boy deliberately pretending to be cool, he looked at Xiao Yueqi with a smile on his face and said.

"You dare?"

Xiao Yueqi glared at him in displeasure.

"Are you annoying? Did I offend you? You have to pull me up for everything you do all day long..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xinrui directly interrupted his words, speaking with arrogance.

"If you don't dare, just say it directly, just admit defeat."

"Are you sick..."

Xiao Yueqi frowned and scratched his hair amidst the booing of his classmates, turned his head to look at Chen Yiran, pouted and said.

"Brother... I have no pocket money..."

Chen Yiran temporarily put away his optimistic expression, took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code on the game currency machine, picked up a small basket with a bang, handed it to Xiao Yueqi, and patted him on the shoulder by the way.

"Go boy, come on."

Seeing the children happily crowding around to watch and cheer, Hao Chen leaned on the machine to watch the excitement.

"Li Xinrui is him..."

Chen Yiran sighed, and looked at Hao Chen in surprise.

"you recognize?"

Hao Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at him, with the expression of "Have you lost your memory?"

"The last time Xiao Yueqi went to a haunted house to scare ghosts, it was just a bet with this Li Xinrui."

Chen Yiran reacted.

"Oh, yeah..."

Seeing Chen Yiran looking at Li Xinrui and the others with great interest, Hao Chen tore off the corner of his clothes, and smiled with the corner of his mouth curled up.

"Brother, I want to play too."

Chen Yiran glanced at him.

"Let's play, buy coins by yourself."

Hao Chen clicked his tongue, took a small basket and put it away, clicked a payment code, and complained while operating.

"Civilized..."

Just opened the Alipay page and before entering the amount, the game currency in front of him was suddenly smashed again and again. The sound was so loud that Hao Chen shook his hands in fright. When he turned his head, he saw Chen Yiran shaking his phone. own smile.

Over there, Xiao Yueqi and Li Xinrui were holding dolls with the machine one by one. It is estimated that the two of them have played a lot. With just a few words, each of them has already got a trophy.

Hao Chen looked at it for a while, found a nearby machine, and attacked the cute-looking Shiba Inu puppet.

Chen Yiran walked over leisurely, looked at Hao Chen who looked quite serious and said with a smile.

"Can you do it? Don't let the children see jokes."

However, as soon as the words fell, the little Shiba Inu who was caught fell into the exit.

"Yo?"

Chen Yiran looked at him in surprise, his skills are good.

Hao Chen raised his chin triumphantly at him, and handed him the doll he caught.

"How about it?"

Chen Yiran gave him a big applause to save face.

"Not bad, keep working hard and strive for the perfect shot."

Hao Chen smiled and snapped his fingers, aiming at the second target. After a few rounds, Chen Yiran had more dolls than the children anyway.

"Wow, Xiao Yueqi, your brother is amazing!"

A classmate who discovered the battle here patted Xiao Yueqi on the back in surprise, which aroused the collective attention of the children.

"Brother, have you practiced?"

A little girl asked seriously.

Before Hao Chen could speak, he heard the little fat man next to him speak with great conviction.

"I must have practiced it. I used to read on the Internet that if you practice catching dolls, you can find a girlfriend. He must have practiced it specifically to find a girlfriend."

Hao Chen: "..."

It seems that it is not unreasonable to let children less surf the Internet...

"What are you talking about."

Xiao Yueqi glanced at the little fat man.

"Brother Hao Chen doesn't need to grab dolls to have a girlfriend. That young lady is very beautiful, I've seen it before."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yiran looked at Hao Chen in shock.

What the hell?what has he seen

Hao Chen shook his hands, the clips for grabbing the dolls missed the dolls perfectly, and looked at Xiao Yueqi in shock.

"What have you seen? Where did you arrange a girlfriend for me?"

Xiao Yueqi looked at him innocently.

"Ah... can't you say it? After all, you are still a high school student, and it's not good to have a puppy love..."

Yo?

Hear that tone of affirmation.

Chen Yiran looked at him and raised his eyebrows, with some amusement in his eyes.

What did this do to make children so convinced.

"..."

Hao Chen inexplicably felt a lot of pressure.

"Speak clearly, where did the young lady make you think she was my girlfriend?"

Xiao Yueqi hesitated for a moment.

"Shen Yiman, right? That young lady's name..."

What the fuck? !

Hao Chen was really shocked this time, mixed with bewilderment.

Subconsciously glanced at Chen Yiran who was waiting for an explanation. If he didn't explain this matter clearly today, he might not be able to survive this day...

"Where did you know her? I don't remember you ever meeting."

Hao Chen asked with a serious face.

Xiao Yueqi was taken aback by Hao Chen's tone, and stood at attention to speak.

"I saw it when I was looking for you yesterday. I wanted to go to school to look for you, but I saw you together. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I went out again..."

"So what did you see?"

Hao Chen was a little bit overwhelmed, why did the more he explained it, the more he couldn't explain it clearly...

"I saw someone confess to that young lady, and put her name on the ground with candles, and she said she likes you..."

Xiao Yueqi tugged at his sleeves and glanced at Hao Chen, not quite understanding why he was so serious all of a sudden.

"Didn't you stay here at that time, and you didn't reject her..."

"..."

Hao Chen pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Okay...Let me clarify, that young lady is not my girlfriend, she just uses me as a shield..."

"Oh…"

Xiao Yueqi nodded, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and he didn't know what else to say.

"Hey."

Li Xinrui looked at Hao Chen dissatisfied, and then at Xiao Yueqi.

"Whether that person is your girlfriend or not is your own private matter, and you haven't told him. It's normal for him to admit his mistake."

Hao Chen glanced at this brat who was a bit stinky, and really wanted to say something about you, but after all, he was Xiao Yueqi's classmate, and in front of so many children, it seemed inappropriate to argue with him...

"So, if you don't understand, just ask this sentence, have you heard it? He just figured out the facts, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Chen Yiran smoothed things over with a smile, and made a gesture of please towards the claw machine.

"Okay, these are not important, you continue to fight."

Children's attention is always fast, after all, the fun of playing is definitely greater than gossip for them.

Hao Chen poured the few remaining game coins into Xiao Yueqi's small basket, stood beside Chen Yiran and sighed, saying very tiredly.

"I'm not in the mood to play..."

"Then what do you want?"

Chen Yiran asked him with a smile.

"go home."

Hao Chen patted his backpack.

"The gift hasn't been given to you yet."

"Okay."

Chen Yiran nodded, picked out the little orange Shiba Inu, and after asking Hao Chen's opinion, distributed the rest of the dolls to the children.

He greeted Xiao Yueqi, transferred some pocket money to him, and went home first.

Winter nights always come very early, and the lights are already dim when we get home.

Chen Yiran turned on the light, took off his coat and went to feed the hamster pudding some food, with a few raw melon seeds as a gift.

After feeding the hamster, he stretched out his hand to Hao Chen.

"Where's the gift?"

Hao Chen took out a dark blue gift box from his bag, and hesitated for a moment when he handed it over. Seeing that Chen Yiran took it, he felt a little uncomfortable and had nothing to say.

"Look first, I'll pour some water."

"Oh…"

Chen Yiran looked at him wonderingly, sat on the sofa and opened the gift box.

Inside the box was a notebook with a bronzing leaf pattern printed on the dark blue cover.

Chen Yiran raised his eyebrows in surprise, a notebook?

However, after opening it, there were black handwriting on the snow-white title page.

-

I want to have tea and light wine with you and watch the warm sun and flowers bloom.

I also want to be with you at the beginning of the day, waiting for the sweetness of the aging.

Chenxi and Dusk, I love you too.

Chen Yiran stared at those words for a while, raised the corners of his lips, and turned the page gently.

Hao Chen put the poured water on the table, took a sip of the water in his glass, and looked at Chen Yiran nervously.

For Chen Yiran's birthday, he thought about a lot of presents, and finally decided to give him the love letter collection he promised.

It is said to be a collection of love letters, but it is more like a diary essay, a full book, write whatever comes to mind, short sentences like the title page, and a certain event that happened in a certain day, and there are also things that you want to talk to when you miss him. What he said, and those nice lyrics that he heard.

On the last page was the photo of the two of them taken on Hao Chen's birthday when they were in the mountain village, with a line written underneath.

——I like it very much, very much.

Chen Yiran bent his eyes and looked up at Hao Chen, but when Hao Chen met his eyes, he subconsciously looked away.

Clearing his throat, he whispered, "Just keep it, don't comment, shame on..."

Chen Yiran chuckled lightly and said, "So you don't plan to ask for a review after reading it?"

Hao Chen struggled in his heart, and took another sip of water: "You can..."

"Ah."

Chen Yiran rubbed his hair with a smile, looked into his eyes and said.

"I like it very much, very much."
