To Travel by the Edge of a Creek

quantity.

"Okay, let them play for a while." Sun Qing nodded.

"Today our two families must sit down and have a meal together," Li Hui said.

"Okay" Sun Qing responded readily.

The two walked around the campus.

Every corner of the campus where I have stayed for three years is familiar, including the familiar teaching buildings, the faintly fragrant camphor trees, the blackboard opinion column on the avenue in front of the cafeteria, and the people around me.

"Big baby" Liang Jia suddenly whispered in his ear.

"Baby" Yan Ran was stunned for a moment and rubbed his head against his ear.

Liang Jia's face turned red.

As they walked towards the school gate, they welcomed the returning sophomores. The sophomores passed them by with their suitcases and schoolbags carrying their dreams.

The seniors and seniors looked sad when they left: Little brats, it's your turn to play. Here we go.

The confident expressions on the children's faces seem to say: Don't worry, seniors. We will carry the next one.

When the two of them turned out, they saw Lao Ma holding a loudspeaker at the door to clear the street. The road was jammed with traffic.

The two smiled at each other and walked down a path to a nearby bus stop.

That night, the two families had dinner together.

Yan Peng and Liang Yueting drank together. They drank like brothers and then started bragging.

The hostesses of the two families smiled awkwardly.

"Mom, is what my father said true?" Liang Qian was surprised when she heard her father talking nonsense while eating meat.

"False, if he had that ability, you would be Snow White, Cinderella," Sun Qing said, wiping Liang Qian's nose.

"Ran Ran, do you have any plans for the holiday?" Sun Qing asked Yan Ran.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I want to rest for a while," Yan Ran replied.

"Why don't you and Liang Jia go back to your hometown together?" Sun Qing suggested. "Our place is cool, so you two can play together there. We also grow watermelons at home, and the little melons are so sweet."

"Okay." Yan Ran agreed with a smile.

"Ah? You are going to Liang Jia's house. I also want you to learn a driver's license?" Li Hui looked at Yan Ran after hearing this.

"I'll rest for a while and then study again. When the results come out, I can study for a driver's license, mom," Yan Ran said.

"That's okay." Li Hui thought for a while and nodded.

"Brother, Brother Ran, I also want to go back to my hometown with you," Liang Qian shouted.

"You have a good time in class," Liang Jia nodded her little head.

"We will play together again when you have a holiday," Yan Ran told Liang Qian gently.

"Okay then" Liang Qian high-fived them.

The next day, Yan Ran took some clothes and went back to his hometown with Liang Jia. Liang Yueting had a job outside, and Sun Qing was taking care of the children in Jiangcheng before Liang Qian went on summer vacation, so there were only two people in her hometown, Liang Jia and Yan Ran. The two children lived a leisurely and contented life.

There are many trees in my hometown, so they just turn on the fan and it won’t get hot.

The grape trellis set up on the balcony on the second floor is also full of bunches of grapes, green and occasionally red, round and cute.

Liang Jia took Yan Ran to the watermelon field where his family planted melons. They planted three-thirds of the watermelons. The watermelons were lying round among the green vines, looking like people.

Liang Jia taught Yan Ran how to tell when a watermelon is ripe, and look for the kind with the handle sinking in.

The two picked a few watermelons and returned home. They froze the fresh watermelons and ate them. When they flicked the watermelons with their fingers, the melons burst open. The flesh was red and juicy. When they took a bite, the juice splashed everywhere. There were often mottled spots on their white clothes.

Liang Jia was eating watermelon, and Yan Ran was wiping his face and wiping the watermelon water splashed on his clothes, telling him "be careful" like an old father.

Ever since I got my boyfriend Liang Jia, I have become lazy. For example, after eating, I would wait for my boyfriend to wipe his hands, wait for my boyfriend to hug me, and act like a baby all day long.

How could Yan Ran be able to withstand his coquettish behavior? Of course he would give him whatever he asked for.

In fact, men who act coquettishly are the best.

"Let's go see the old man," Liang Jia said while lying on Yan Ran's lap and looking at him.

"Then now, take the watermelon with you." Yan Ran picked him up and said.

The two of them left as soon as they could, taking two watermelons with them and riding a small tram.

The old man’s yard is full of flowers and plants, and older people seem to like flowers.

"Old man, we are here to bring you watermelon," Liang Jia shouted as he got out of the car.

"Smelly boy," the old man said with a smile as he sat up from his wicker chair.

Yan Ran followed behind to help get the watermelon.

"Leave it there," the old man said with a smile, "Come, sit here and cool down for a while."

The two put down the watermelon and sat down.

"The college entrance examination is over, how did you two do?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Very good" Liang Jia smiled and showed his teeth.

"It's okay," Yan Ran said implicitly.

"It's definitely not wrong. I told you that you two will do particularly well in the exam this year," the old man said, lying back on the wicker chair.

"I'd like to lend you some good words," Liang Jia said, pinching the old man's loose skin.

"Well, I guess you won't be able to see me next time you come here," the old man said suddenly.

"No, you will live to be a hundred years old. You see that you have saved so many children, you will definitely live a long life." Liang Jia said and lowered his head.

"Child, don't be sad. Birth, aging, illness and death are normal." The old man said, stroking the child's head and smiling at Yan Ran.

Finally, the old man left them to have dinner. After the meal, the old man sent them to the avenue outside the door, waving and smiling at them.

The two rode their bikes back home.

Yan Ran took care of Liang Jia who was in a bad mood and hugged him to reassure him.

"Brother Ran, what if I say that one day they all leave, what should I do?" Liang Jia leaned against Yan Ran's heart and said softly.

"I'm with you, don't be afraid." Yan Ran hugged him and kissed his hair.

Liang Jia looked up at him, their eyes facing each other. There was a little uneasiness in Liang Jia's eyes, and Yan Ran looked at him with gentle yet firm eyes, giving him safety and courage.

Liang Jia smiled, with twinkling stars in his eyes. He lay on Yan Ran's chest and rubbed it.

The two rested in their hometown for more than ten days, playing games and chatting every day.

"Are you nervous?" Yan Ran asked, stroking his head on his lap the day before the results were announced.

Liang Jia shook his head and nodded.

Shake your head because of me, nod your head because of you.

Chapter 40 Chapter 40

Before midnight on June 24th, Li Yangfei called Liang Jia at around 1 p.m. and told him that he was ranked first in the province.

"Liang Jia, No. 1 in the province, 712, not bad, not bad," Li Yangfei said excitedly on the phone.

"Thank you, teacher." Liang Jia was not surprised after hearing this. After saying thank you, he asked Yan Ran about his grades.

"Teacher, I would like to ask what score Yan Ran got in the exam?" Liang Jia asked.

"Yan Ran, let me look for it." Li Yangfei started looking there, and said with some surprise: "Oh, 652, this kid did well in the exam, and he showed great talent."

"Ah, thank you, teacher" Liang Jia said happily after hearing this.

After hanging up the phone, Liang Jia fell on the bed and laughed.

After a while, Yan Ran came over from outside.

"The results are out
