youth and time

"Hello?" Jiang Yufan lay on the bed and called, "Brother, is there something wrong at this late hour?"

"It's okay." Jiang Yuqing had just finished taking a shower, and was leaning against the head of the bed at the moment, "I just wanted to call you to ask you how you are doing, and I didn't finish talking when I called last time."

"I've been fine recently, nothing happened. How about you? Grandma, grandma, and sister-in-law, are they all okay?"

An Ruosu is from Ningcheng, Jiang Lin is from the north, and they live in the north, but it is too cold in the north in winter, and Jiang Yufan's grandpa and grandpa passed away very early, so Jiang Lin simply took Jiang Yufan's grandma as well. After receiving Ning Cheng, the two old people can be companions, and the eldest son and daughter-in-law are also there, so it is convenient to take care of them.

"It's all good." Jiang Yuqing smiled and reached out to embrace the daughter-in-law who was lying beside her, "By the way, I called my mother two days ago, and my mother said that you have made friends and the relationship is not bad?"

Jiang Yufan was taken aback: "Friend... friend?"

"Well, I think it's called Zhong Chaozhou. What's the matter? You have a really good relationship?" Jiang Yuqing was particularly concerned about the socializing of his younger brother who didn't like to be lively and had a slow personality when he was a child. Friends, of course you have to ask carefully.

Jiang Yufan thought for a while: "It's... okay..."

"..." It sounded like Jiang Yuqing sighed lightly, followed by a wry smile, "What you said... I think it's probably because Mom thinks you two are good friends again, right? "

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Jiang Yufan didn't speak, he sat up, looked at the bag of toffee in the open schoolbag, and remembered the scene in the cafeteria where Zhong Chaozhou almost fought with someone to defend himself, some unknown emotions overflowed little by little , wrapped around Jiang Yufan's heart, and his pupils flickered a little.

Since his baby brother is really not good at socializing, Jiang Yuqing didn't intend to continue this topic, so he changed the topic: "By the way, Huanhuan..."

"Yes."

"What?" Jiang Yuqing was interrupted by Jiang Yufan's monosyllable as soon as he opened his mouth, and a question mark appeared above his head, "What'is'what?"

Jiang Yufan said word by word: "Zhong Chaozhou is my friend. Mom is right, it's not her own opinion."

Jiang Yuqing: "..."

Jiang Yuqing couldn't see Jiang Yufan's face through the phone, but from the tone and words, he could imagine how serious Jiang Yufan was at this moment.

Jiang Yuqing laughed: "Then if that's the case, let me see you later. I've only seen the photos my mother sent me, but I haven't seen her in person."

"Ah."

The two brothers chatted about other topics, and finally remembered that Jiang Yufan would get up early tomorrow, so Jiang Yuqing hung up the phone.

"What? Did Xiaofan make friends?" Qu Ying leaned against Jiang Yuqing's arms, looked up at him, and asked.

"Yeah." Jiang Yuqing hugged Qu Ying, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "It's really not easy, Zai Zai's character... I really want to meet Zhong Chaozhou."

"What is 'that kind of character'?" Qu Ying reached out and pinched Jiang Yuqing's arm, "What's wrong with Xiaofan's character? How cute, don't talk nonsense!"

"Yes yes yes, cute!" Jiang Yuqing said with a smile, "Oh right, National Day is coming soon, can you stay here alone?"

"Yes, why not." Qu Ying flipped the pages of the book and curled her lips, "Hey, if grandma hadn't just caught a cold, the four of us would have gone to Yangcheng together."

Jiang Yuqing stroked Qu Ying's hair: "Wait until the Chinese New Year, let's all go to Yangcheng for the Chinese New Year this year."

"Yeah." Qu Ying arched in Jiang Yuqing's arms, and said in a rambling manner, "In the Chinese New Year, you can eat the lotus vegetable meat dumplings made by mother again. Seriously, the dumplings tasted so good. Even grandma and grandma can’t make that taste. You can also see Xiaofan and Huanhuan. I read a set of copybooks on the Internet two days ago. The evaluation is very good. Dad must like it. Then... go to the university A cup of tea at my aunt's..."

Qu Ying's voice stopped abruptly, and Jiang Yuqing's smile suddenly became stiff.

Qu Ying pursed her lips: "To be honest, I feel sorry for Huanhuan. Uncle, he... hey..."

Jiang Yuqing sighed deeply, reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, and said in a low voice, "It's too late, go to sleep."

Qu Ying nodded, nestled in Jiang Yuqing's arms, and closed her eyes.

The night was too long, Jiang Yuqing looked out the window before falling asleep.

I don't know when it will be dawn, uncle is over there...it's okay...

"Cough!" The get out of class bell rang, and Zhong Chaozhou knocked on Jiang Yufan's desk, "Do you still remember what you promised yesterday?"

"Remember." Jiang Yufan stood up, "I don't need you to remind me, I remember everything I promised others."

Zhong Chaozhou: "..."

The sanitation area responsible for each class is on the campus. The school takes care of the students. They feel that the students are too tired to run up and down with sanitation tools, so they set up a sanitation room next to the playground. There are various sanitation tools in it. Staff management. If students need it, they can go to the janitor to register. After registration, they can take away the necessary sanitary tools.

After Jiang Yufan wrote down the class, name and tools needed on the form, he turned his head and saw Zhong Chaozhou running out of the bathroom holding a broom and dustpan.

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Jiang Yufan took the sanitary tools: "Leave it to me, you can go play."

"I don't play ball." Zhong Chaozhou followed closely behind Jiang Yufan, "I'll go with you."

"What are you doing? Afraid I can't do it well?"

"No." Zhong Chaozhou shook his head and denied it, but after denying it, he regretted it. This seemed to be a good excuse, which could perfectly cover up his desire to be alone with Jiang Yufan, but there was no medicine for regret in the world. He gritted his teeth and insisted. Scratching his scalp, he said, "I'm afraid you'll be bored by yourself."

Jiang Yufan: "..."

This reason sounds less credible than "I don't think you can do well."

But Jiang Yufan was too lazy to argue so much with Zhong Chaozhou, so he continued to walk forward without saying a word, acquiescing that Zhong Chaozhou could follow.

The sanitation area of ​​the second class is not big, it is a small flower bed next to the school gymnasium, as long as it is responsible for cleaning up the fallen leaves and flowers.

With a broom in one hand and a dustpan in the other, Jiang Yufan circled around to see where there were dead branches and leaves. Zhong Chaozhou squatted on the steps of the gymnasium, staring at Jiang Yufan intently. Wherever Jiang Yufan went, his eyes followed.

The afterglow of the sun sprinkled on Jiang Yufan's body from west to east, and the sunlight outlined the outline of Jiang Yufan's face. His red phoenix eyes were half-down, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his lips were slightly pursed. No matter how you looked at it, he looked like a beauty.

Zhong Chaozhou rested his chin and couldn't help but wonder, why is this person so good-looking?Just looking at it and being reluctant to move away, there must be many people like this kind of person...

Thinking of this, Zhong Chaozhou suddenly felt bored, why was he so unwilling to hear that someone liked Jiang Yufan?Is it because of a good relationship?No, he didn't feel that way about Shen Yi'an...

"Hello! Zhong Chaozhou!" Jiang Yufan shook the broom in front of Zhong Chaozhou, "What are you doing?"

"Huh? Ah?" Zhong Chaozhou looked up blankly, "What's wrong?"

"..." Jiang Yufan said, "After sweeping, let's go."

"Huh? So fast?" Zhong Chaozhou stood up, "I'll go and have a look, after all, I'm the one to look for if something goes wrong."

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Zhong Chaozhou walked around the flower bed and nodded. It was indeed very clean. Just as he was about to leave, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a dark and not-so-small thing beside the flower bed.

Zhong Chaozhou: "..."

Zhong Chaozhou bent down and took a look. The dark thing turned out to be a bug. The bug's body turned over for some reason, and its countless tentacles were swinging back and forth feebly. It was quite disgusting to see.

Zhong Chaozhou frowned in disgust, and took a few steps back: "Why don't you sweep this away? With this kind of thing, aren't you afraid to disgust people in the student union? The students who check hygiene in the student union are all little girls, scaring them What if the points are deducted for our class? Sweep away, sweep away!"

"No." Jiang Yufan didn't look there at all.

"No, no, hurry up!"

Jiang Yufan still didn't move.

Zhong Chaozhou continued to say in a good voice: "I know this kind of thing is disgusting, but wouldn't it be better to just close your eyes and sweep it away? Hurry up."

Jiang Yufan still refused: "No."

Zhong Chaozhou: "..."

Zhong Chaozhou sighed deeply, and just about to say something, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he gave a smirk, and stretched out his hand to touch Jiang Yufan's face: "Look, such a big bug is here..."

"What are you doing?!" Jiang Yufan jumped in a sudden reaction, opened Zhong Chaozhou's hand, and took three or four steps back.

Zhong Chaozhou: "..."

Fuck, is there such a big reaction?

Jiang Yufan wiped his face hard a few times, breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Zhong Chaozhou's hand, and found that Zhong Chaozhou's hand was empty and contained nothing, so he boldly looked to the flower bed, and the disgusting bug was still there Lying there.

Only then did Jiang Yufan breathe a sigh of relief, realizing that it was a false alarm.

Zhong Chaozhou blinked: "You...you are afraid of bugs..."

Jiang Yufan's face, which had just calmed down, turned livid in an instant. He glared at Zhong Chaozhou, threw the broom and dustpan into Zhong Chaozhou's arms, left the flower bed without looking back, and walked towards the teaching building.

"Hey! Hey! Jiang Yufan! Wait for me! Hey!"

Zhong Chaozhou hurriedly swept away the bug, hurriedly sent the sanitary tools back, and ran all the way, barely chasing Jiang Yufan at the door of the teaching building.

"Hey! Jiang Yufan!" Zhong Chaozhou grabbed Jiang Yufan's sleeve, "Wait for me!"

Jiang Yufan shook off Zhong Chaozhou's hand.

"No, wait!"

Zhong Chaozhou directly opened his arms to block Jiang Yufan: "Listen to me! I...I'm just teasing you, I didn't know you were afraid..."

"Who's scared?" Jiang Yufan's voice was low and cold.

"No, no, no, you are not afraid, you are not afraid!" Zhong Chaozhou waved his hands quickly, showing a charming smile, and said, "I made a slip of the tongue! You are not afraid. Okay, are you not angry?"

Jiang Yufan is really afraid of bugs, but at least he is a boy and he wants to save face. He doesn't want too many people to know that he is afraid of bugs, so he tries his best not to be obvious, and he hates people scaring him with bugs the most.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Chaozhou stepped on the thunder point so accurately, and wanted to scare him with such a big bug, which directly filled Jiang Yufan's anger.

If it were normal, Jiang Yufan would have left with a dark face at this time, but when he saw Zhong Chaozhou's pretty smiling face, the words "those who don't know are innocent" came to his mind, and he suddenly couldn't bear to get angry No, he just uttered four words stiffly: "Don't take this as an example."

"Well! Don't be an example!" Zhong Chaozhou said with a smile in a low voice, "Next time, if there is such a bug again, I will drive it away for you."

Jiang Yufan pursed his lips. Hearing Zhong Chaozhou's deep and magnetic voice, his skin felt a little hot. He subconsciously turned up the collar of his school uniform, turned his head away, and continued to speak firmly: "I said I'm not afraid."

"I know you're not afraid." Zhong Chaozhou coaxed in a soft voice, "But it's shocking to see."

Jiang Yufan nodded hesitantly: "Okay."

Zhong Chaozhou squinted his peach blossom eyes and smiled, stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Yufan's arm, and said softly, "Let's go, go back to work."
