Chapter 26
Since Mom and Dad are leaving again tomorrow, Cheng Yin opened the chat box at the dinner table and didn't stop eating.
Cheng Sheng never spoke much, and kept listening silently.
"I took more than 30 exams this time, and the teacher gave me 400 yuan!"
"And I think I haven't played well this time. I will try to get another 400 yuan next time!"
Mom and Dad laughed so hard that their faces were about to bloom, and they complimented her while listening.
In the end, Cheng Yin insisted on paying the bill with the four hundred yuan.
But when I saw the bill, I found that my scholarship was not enough, so I silently said, "Why don't I go to the movies."
But after all, it was the third year of high school, and it was very late to eat until eight o'clock in the evening. After paying the bill, Cheng's father and Cheng's mother asked Cheng Yin to go home to do his homework, and invite him next time for the movie.
The living room was quiet, Cheng Sheng sat in the living room and poured water for his parents.
Father Cheng sat on the sofa, looked at Cheng Sheng's face, and said, "I seem to have lost weight recently."
Cheng Sheng didn't speak, and his mother added: "Have the materials been handed in?"
Cheng Sheng shook his head and opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Mom said again: "It's already mid-October, and you have to submit all the materials before November. Are you not ready yet?"
"The first draft of the graduation thesis is not ready yet." Cheng Sheng brought the water to them, "Don't worry."
Dad Cheng looked at him for a few seconds and asked calmly, "Have you not decided whether to study a Ph.D.?"
"No, I've figured it out." Cheng said, "The first draft of the graduation thesis is really undecided."
Dad Cheng nodded, but it seemed like he still had something to say.
Mom stood up and said, "I'll go see Ayin."
She walked outside Cheng Yin's room and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
So she pushed open the door and saw that Cheng Yin was wearing headphones and writing something with a pen.
Thinking she was doing her homework, her mother quietly stood behind Cheng Yin and took off her earphones.
"Ayin, mother came to see your homework..."
Cheng Yin suddenly covered the book in front of him and closed it in a panic, before taking off the earphones.
"Mom, mom, why did you suddenly come in?"
Mom glanced at her notebook, "I knocked on the door and you didn't hear it, what are you writing?"
Exquisite and beautiful notebook, hard cover, obviously not a workbook.
"Composition notes, the Chinese teacher said that we should collect composition materials every day."
"Is that so, can you show it to mom?"
Cheng Yin's mouth was half open, but there was no answer.
"It's alright, just don't read it." Cheng Yin's mother took a stool and sat next to Cheng Yin, "I heard that you have made great progress in this exam. Show your mother your math test paper."
Cheng Yin hurriedly took out the exam papers for the last monthly exam.
"I-I didn't do well in math."
Mom glanced at it and praised: "It's not bad. I've scored all the basic questions. It doesn't matter if you can't do the harder ones, take your time."
Cheng Yin smiled and nodded: "Thanks to Xie Ying, she showed me her notes from the first year of high school, and I understood it right away."
Cheng Yin's mother looked at the test papers of other subjects and saw that there were no problems with the basic questions, so she stopped bothering Cheng Yin.
But when she reached the door, she stopped suddenly and said, "Ayin, your birthday is next month."
This need not be reminded, Cheng Yin remembers it firmly.
"I haven't figured out what gift I want."
"Mom didn't say that." She smiled. "At eighteen years old, she is an adult like her mother, so I can share any secrets."
Cheng Yin was stunned, nodded and said yes.
But when her mother went out, she said to herself again, "I won't share."
Opening the notebook just now, I wrote a few lines on the first page.
The handwriting is beautiful, but a little crooked.
Especially the last sentence "how did I meet you, alas" is almost slanted 45 degrees.
Cheng Yin held his chin and couldn't help but sigh.
What does Chen Ran mean this afternoon?
He said, "Then I can only eat alone, no one to accompany me." It sounded pitiful, that Jiang Wenwen wasn't his girlfriend, right?
But what if the family just went to the birthday party and didn't have time.
Alas, Cheng Yin really regretted it, she should have asked clearly.
After thinking about it, Cheng Yin felt that this would not work, she had to ask clearly.
But how to ask?
Cheng Yin thought about it for a long time, and suddenly a light flashed.
There is.
She hurriedly took out her mobile phone and sent Chen Ran a WeChat message.
"On the third day of the next month, the meeting will be held at Wanda Haidilao, which is also a birthday party. The group of sages will arrive, and the young and old will gather together. There are hairy belly yellow throats, beef sausages, and strong soup, which is reflected around and around. Flowing the Qushui, sit next. Although there is no silk and bamboo orchestra, one chant is enough to describe the feelings freely.”
Soon, Chen Ran returned the news.
"speak English."
Cheng Yin lay down on the bed holding the phone.
"November 3rd, my birthday, go to Haidilao to eat hot pot, come? You can bring your family!"
Chen Ran's focus seemed to be on the last sentence.
"You want to see my mom on your birthday?"
"No no no! That's fine, you can bring your girlfriend!"
After waiting for a while, Chen Ran still didn't reply.
Cheng Yin was so nervous that he sent another message.
"Boyfriends are fine too."
"I don't have a girlfriend."
"No boyfriend either."
The moment she received these two messages, Cheng Yin rolled on the bed happily.
I don't have a girlfriend! ! !
I don't even have a boyfriend! ! !
Great! ! !
Rounding up, she is Chen Ran's girlfriend!
Get married tomorrow! !
However, this happiness has not lasted for five seconds, Chen Ran sent another message, which is equivalent to pouring a basin of cold water on Cheng Yin.
"But it happened to be a friend's birthday that day, so I couldn't come."
The next day, Cheng Yin was unhappy.
A sigh for a while, a grin for a while.
"What's wrong with you?" Xie Ying asked casually, "Lovelorn?"
"Ugh."
Cheng Yin felt that Chen Ran's rejection of her eighteenth birthday party was equivalent to rejecting her wedding invitation.
"I haven't confessed yet, where is the loss of love?"
Xie Ying glanced at Chen Ran's empty seat and said, "Then you confess."
Cheng Yin was stunned: "A confession, a confession?"
"Yeah." Xie Ying said seriously, "Of course you have to confess if you like it. How would he know that you like him if you don't confess? If he doesn't feel your like, he will slowly like others. And you think, if you don't confess, you can only be in unrequited love, and if you confess, there is one more hope."
After finishing speaking, Xie Ying added meaningfully: "Don't come again when you can't miss the opportunity, you are already in the third year of high school and are about to graduate. If you don't go to college in the same place in the future, and there are fewer opportunities to meet, you will be more It's hard to tell."
Cheng Yin thinks it makes sense, but...
"I can't say it!"
"Then you can be a little more euphemistic! Talk around the corner! Don't say I like you directly, and ask if you have any desire to find a girlfriend or something."
Cheng Yin thought about it seriously, then nodded.
What is trust between people? It is a single mother and a single female student who teaches a mother and a single female student who is a scumbag.
One dares to speak, the other dares to listen.
After a while, Chen Ran came.
No need to look up, Cheng Yin knew it was him just by hearing the footsteps.
Then came the faint scent of his body.
Cheng Yin was so nervous that he didn't dare to look at him, and naturally he didn't see a bag in his hand.
Fortunately, he didn't talk to himself as soon as he came today. After sitting down silently, he pulled out a magazine and started reading.
After a class, Cheng Yin unusually didn't say a word to Chen Ran.
After class, she felt that the time had come, and slowly turned her head to look at Chen Ran.
"Chen Ran."
Chen Ran raised his head and motioned to Cheng Yin.
Cheng Yin's palms were sweaty, and she twisted her sleeves, looking at Chen Ran nervously.
The girl's eyes were so clean that they couldn't hide any emotions.
Chen Ran sighed.
He felt quite unhuman.
The girl is not yet eighteen years old, and her grades have finally improved a little. If he delays the university entrance exam, then he is really sorry for others.
Having said that, he still had a little bit of a routine.
But he usually didn't realize it himself, until he went home last night, he thought about it, and he was really different to Cheng Yin.
Never done this to a little girl.
I'm so used to her that usually pinch her face at every turn.
But while Chen Ran blamed himself, he also felt that he couldn't be blamed entirely.
Who can hold back when meeting a girl like Cheng Yin.
He thought about all kinds of arguments in his mind, how to reason with her without hurting Cheng Yin.
But until class, Cheng Yin didn't say anything.
This class is a Chinese teacher's class. There is no lecture, but the topic of poetry appreciation.
Cheng Yin sat up and down, his eyes wandering towards Chen Ran.
What to do, what is she going to say!
After a long time, Cheng Yin said, "Chen Ran, let me whisper to you."
Chen Ran sighed silently in his heart when he saw Cheng Yin's blushing face.
He leaned over and said, "You say it."
Cheng Yin grabbed the ballpoint pen and held it in his hand for a long time.
"That...you're so old, I don't know if I should talk about it. My relative's son was urged to marry for a few years and didn't find a girlfriend. This year, he found a girlfriend and he couldn't get pregnant. He was diagnosed with infertility, and the doctor said he would have found it sooner."
Chen Ran: "?"
Cheng Yin hesitated, his mind was short-circuited, "So are you planning to find a girlfriend? If you have a plan, hurry up and find one, I'm afraid you will never end."
Chen Ran: "..."
Xie Ying, who was listening silently in the front row, almost lifted the table.
I didn't teach that way! ! !
You all know that you have to slow down in a corner and you make a sharp turn at 180 yards! ! !
Aren't you afraid of overturning! ! !
The group behind was silent for two seconds.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ran's voice sounded: "Don't worry."
What, what does this mean?
Chen Ran said again: "You are so old."
what!
Is this what she meant? !
Cheng Yin felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
But she has to be reserved.
"You, what do you mean?"
Chen Ran raised his hand and touched her head.
"Okay, call me Daddy."
Cheng Yin: "..."
Chen Ran looked at her and smiled!
A fatherly smile!
Woohoo!
Cheng Yin doesn't want affection!
She wants love!
Xie Ying in the front row was desperate.
This was not the direction she wanted to see.
This is not the CP she wants to knock.
It's not over yet.
Chen Ran remembered something, and pulled out the bag he brought from the drawer.
Inside is a stack of test papers.
"My mother is ill and won't get better in a while. You do one set of these papers every day, and I have to check them every day."
Cheng Yin: "..."
Chen Ran: "I'll give you a comment after doing this. Take good notes. If you miss a question once, you can't make a mistake next time."
Cheng Yin: "..."
What love is not love.
Pooh!
The author has something to say: I want to fall in love with you, but you force me to do the test paper, woo woo woo, what love is not love, bah!
