"When did you come back?"

Shen Lan subconsciously put down her rolled up sleeves, pulled up her open school uniform jacket, and walked neatly to the sofa, with a bit of restraint in her movements.

The person sitting on the sofa was wearing a smart suit, and the short hair to the ear was neatly done. Even without makeup, the whole body was surrounded by an aura that could not be ignored.

Miao Fangni put down the teacup after hearing the voice, first looked up and down Shen Lan silently, and then slowly said after a while, "Why didn't you go home?"

"It's close to the school," Shen Lan cleared her throat, and said in a low voice, "It saves time in the morning."

"Thinking like this will only make you more slack in action!" Miao Fangni stood up and walked in front of Shen Lan, her voice becoming colder and colder, "What's the matter with the skateboards and Lego in your room? Why?Still stubborn! You know how distracted these things are from your studies!"

"Mom, you came into my room without saying hello!"

"If you don't have a guilty conscience, why are you talking harshly to me here!"

The back and forth of one sentence after another made the atmosphere gradually tense, and the gentle light in the living room shone on Miao Fangni, revealing her compelling aura without a doubt.

Shen Lan looked at her quietly, the original black hair had unconsciously mixed with many silver threads, and the corners of her eyes were also a little wrinkled.

never mind……

He took a deep breath and silently lowered his head, and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

"...Shen Jiamiao has also been sent back to the main house by the driver, you follow me back too, I'll give you five minutes."

Seeing Shen Lan showing weakness, Miao Fangni stopped talking, picked up the backpack on the sofa and went out.

The door was shut with a bang, and everything around became quiet again.

Shen Lan stood on the spot and took a deep breath. After being silent for two seconds, she suddenly raised her hand and rubbed her cheek vigorously until it turned red.

Based on past experience, Shen Lan knew that her mother would not stay in the north city for too long, so she didn't pack too many things. She only brought a few sets of clothes and books that she often used.

The location of the main house is near the suburbs, and the driver drove for nearly an hour to reach the destination.

Although the main house is cleaned every week, after all, no one has lived in it for nearly two years. As soon as you step through the door, you can feel a gust of air-conditioning.

From the road to home, Miao Fangni didn't say another word, but went straight to the study at home after entering the door, took a few books about the tropical rainforest and put them in front of Shen Lan, then walked into the bedroom and closed the door.

Shen Lan was the only one left in the huge living room, and the cold wind engulfed in rain outside the window was still humming, which made people feel upset when they heard it.

Shen Lan quietly looked at the thick stack of books in her arms. After being silent for a long time, she suddenly let out a chuckle. With the laughter, her chest trembled continuously, swallowing all the bitterness and unspeakableness, and re-pretending to be a person who didn't care.people.

Having been a tool for so many years, he should no longer have any ridiculous expectations. The most important thing he should do now is to play the role of a marionette seriously and stand under their control to be slaughtered...

Due to the distance between the main house and North City No. 1 Middle School, Shen Lan had to get up nearly an hour early every day to barely catch up with the daily morning self-study.

The biological clock that the body has been accustomed to for a long time was suddenly broken. Within two days, Shen Lan was so sleepy that he slumped around. He couldn't even cheer up in class, and was directly criticized by the teacher by name.

On the podium, the math teacher held a math paper in one hand and supported the table with the other. The transparent lens reflected the sharp light.

"Shen Lan, I know you have good grades, but that's not the reason for you to sleep in class and not listen."

"Tomorrow is the midterm exam. If you continue with this attitude, this exam will definitely teach you a very unforgettable lesson."

"Now, take your black and red pen and paper, and stand behind me, sober up!"

It took one and a half hours for the two consecutive math classes, and Shen Lan stood for two-thirds of the time, and finally survived until the bell rang, and the suppressed sleepiness took over the high ground in an instant.

Shen Lan rushed to her seat in a daze and sat down, threw the paper into the table hole, lay down on the table and started to catch up on sleep.

Song Mian started secretly aiming in Shen Lan's direction since math get out of class, ran to Shen Lan's side after class, pulled up the stool and asked, "Hey, brother Shen, what's the matter with you these two days, you weren't here before Sleeping in math class?"

"Ah..." Shen Lan yawned, waved her hands slightly and said, "Don't mention it, I've moved back to the main house."

"Huh? Why did you move back all of a sudden... Your mother is back?"

Hearing this, Shen Lan paused first, then nodded: "I want to sleep, go back to your own seat quickly, don't bother me here, I'm sleepy."

"Alright, I will leave, little one."

Song Mian returned to his seat after saying a few words. He Chen, who was sitting next to him, turned his head to look at Shen Lan, recalling his slight pause just now, and still didn't ask any more questions after tapping his fingertips.Silently took out a book and put it in front of Shen Lan's desk, covering him from the dazzling sunlight coming in from the window.

Despite the intense sense of urgency the exam creates for students, when it comes to the exam room, time flies by much faster than expected.

There is still one day left before the end of the exam. In order to win the bet with He Chen, Shen Lan avoided the driver who came to pick him up, and went back to the house in Dijing Garden on purpose, planning to put himself in the bottom of the box.Take out all the materials and review them carefully, even if you are grinding your guns in front of the battle, it will shine if you are not happy.

After ten o'clock in the evening, the neighbors around had already turned off the lights to rest, Shen Lan controlled the footsteps, made sure that the corridor lights were on, and then went upstairs quickly.

The door was opened with a click, and Shen Lan changed his shoes and walked to his bedroom. As soon as he opened the door, the scene that fell into his eyes exploded in his mind like thunder, making him freeze in place immediately.

The Lego that was originally put together now fell to the ground in pieces, and all kinds of drawings were torn into pieces and floated all over the ground, and they could never get back to their original appearance.

All kinds of skateboarding competition trophies stored in the cabinet have long since become pieces of broken glass on the ground, and the whole house has been crazily destroyed as if by a thief. Even Shen Lan's most cherished skateboard, which he searched for for a long time, finally put togetherIt has also been smashed to pieces, and the skateboard accessory that He Chen gave him at the beginning was lying alone in the corner, bent so that it can no longer be used.

Two years of accumulation and hard work collapsed at this moment, and the dream he yearned for was ruthlessly smashed at this moment. Shen Lan squatted down stiffly, and the broken glass cut his fingertips and forearm, but he did not feel the pain.Ignorance.

No wonder, no wonder he had to go back to live in the main house, no wonder the driver had to pick him up every day, it turned out it was just to cover up the hypocrisy...

The frustration of total negation and endless restraints seemed to bind him firmly with countless thick iron chains. The tingling pain in his heart penetrated into his brain belatedly, and the tears in his eyes fell uncontrollably.Even Shen Lan couldn't control his emotions.

Facing his mother's questioning at that time, he admitted his mistake and apologized, thinking that this matter could just go away, as long as he was obedient enough in front of his mother, these things could also be kept.

Unexpectedly, heh, unexpectedly, he was still too naive, too wishful thinking, what kind of nonsense freedom, all of them wanted to strangle his hand...

The next day, He Chen arrived at the examination room early to prepare for the exam.

Although there is still a bet between him and Shen Lan about the English test, he still wants to make the little hedgehog happier in his heart, so he deliberately found a few grammar points that are most likely to be tested last night, and prepared to give Shen LanMake a final impromptu assault.

The English test officially started at nine o'clock. Both of them were students in the first test room, and Shen Lan's seat was next to He Chen.

In order to be able to see Shen Lan entering the examination room for the first time, He Chen deliberately turned his body in the direction of the entrance of the examination room. Although the nib of the pen was still swipe on the review materials, his eyes looked out from time to time, looking a littleabsent-minded.

Five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes...

He Chen's mood gradually transitioned from faint anticipation to loneliness, and then to frowning worry.

He knew in his heart that according to Shen Lan's unyielding character, he should not do such a thing as absent from the English test and voluntarily admit defeat, unless something happened to him.

Thinking of this, He Chen quickly walked out of the examination room with the materials in hand, took out his mobile phone from his backpack, and was about to go to a corner with few people and turn it on to contact Shen Lan when he heard Song Mian's fiery voice fromcame from afar.

"It's not good, it's not good, Brother Chen! Brother Chen is gone!"
