The short cheers disappeared with the ringing of the class bell, and Lin Ting also announced the coming-of-age ceremony in the afternoon.

The news was confirmed, and everyone was actively preparing, but Shen Lan was a little absent-minded.

His parents are not around, and there are no close people around. This kind of parent-child activity of coming-of-age ceremony is simply tasteless to him, even a bit ironic.

This low mood lasted for several days, and later, even Wan Ke, who was not in the same school, noticed the abnormality.

He led Song Mian into a small group, and soon invited everyone he knew well.

Wan Ke: "What's going on, brother Shen?"

Song Mian: "In a few days, our school's coming-of-age ceremony will invite parents."

Zhao Wenjia: "Shouldn't the coming-of-age ceremony be happy? Why is Brother Shen unhappy?"

Song Mian: "@Zhao Wenjia You don't understand, brother Shen's family situation is quite special, adult ceremony is a good thing for us, but not necessarily for him."

Wan Ke: "But Brother Shen didn't have such a big reaction to the matter related to the parents before. Why is the air pressure so low this time that even I, who is miles away, can feel it?"

Song Mian: "Probably, maybe, it has something to do with our return to Qing City."

Maybe it has a bigger relationship with Brother Chen.

Song Mian silently added a sentence in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

The group was quiet for a few minutes, then Zhao Wenjia suddenly got mad again.

Zhao Wenjia: "What Qing City? What are you talking about that I don't know?"

Wan Ke: "@Zhao Wenjia buddy, don't inquire about some things, be careful that brother Shen will assassinate you."

Zhao Wenjia: "Shut up.jpg Since Brother Shen is unhappy, can you find a way to make him happy?"

Zhao Wenjia: "Although the coming-of-age ceremony is a gift from parents, it doesn't mean that it can only be from parents."

Song Mian: "That's right! It suddenly dawned on me.jpg As brothers, we can also give Brother Shen a surprise, let him know that he is not alone, and there are us brothers!"

Just when everyone was about to study how to surprise Shen Lan, He Chen, who had never spoken a word, suddenly spoke.

He Chen: "I'll take care of it."

Just a few words made the group silent again. Although they didn't quite understand why He Chen was so concerned about this matter, but fortunately, the big boss took the responsibility, and the others felt a little relieved.

The coming-of-age ceremony came much sooner than the students had imagined. Early in the morning, the students who got their mobile phones from their homeroom teachers began to contact their parents miscellaneously.

The vehicles at the school gate were next to each other, and the parents entered the campus one after another. Almost everyone was dressed very formally, obviously attaching great importance to this event.

The students who found their parents were chatting intimately with the people around them. People in twos and threes were arm in arm with each other, and some parents with better relations were having friendly exchanges. At first glance, it was a peaceful scene.

The huge playground is gradually full of people, the head teacher is communicating with the parents, and the leaders and teachers on the rostrum are also further adjusting the audio equipment.

In such a noisy environment, no one noticed that Shen Lan had long since disappeared.

At this moment, everyone in the second grade of high school was gathering towards the playground to the east. Shen Lan was wandering aimlessly with his pockets in his hands, and the stones on the side of the road became a boring pastime. Before he knew it, he actually walked to the sculpture at the west gate of the school.

Even though people around him comforted him by saying that this was just a ceremony, even if he couldn't spend it with his family, he could still spend it with his brothers, but Shen Lan still didn't want to trouble them.

After all, every parent has future blessings for their children. If there is one more him, then this activity will be a bit nondescript, and it will become a perfunctory burden instead. It is better not to be an eyesore.

Anyway, it's not the first time that his parents can't be contacted. From elementary school to now, it's not like this coming-of-age ceremony.

Instead of standing here complaining about yourself, why not take advantage of today's time to celebrate yourself and have a good time.

Just when this idea was formed in his mind, Shen Lan had already walked to the gate of the west gate. Taking advantage of the security guards not paying attention, he quietly slipped out through the gap between the gates.

There was a long row of taxis parked at the school gate, and Shen Lan hailed one nearby. He had just finished reporting the address when the car door was suddenly opened with a click. Immediately afterwards, under Shen Lan's shocked eyes, He Chen sat indifferently.to his side.

"Why did you come out?"

Shen Lan looked out of the car window subconsciously: "Where is Aunt Qiao An, isn't she here?"

"Here we come," He Chen covered his eyes, "My aunt asked me to come, she saw you leaving the playground."

"But how did she know that I would... You told Aunt Qiao An everything about my family?"

"No, don't be nervous." Seeing Shen Lan suddenly sitting upright, He Chen subconsciously touched his head to comfort him, and his voice was as gentle as possible, "Auntie guessed it herself."

"She is a lawyer. Although she usually looks gentle, she is actually a very sensitive and observant person."

"When you came on New Year's Eve, she had already guessed it, but she didn't want to make you sad, so she never showed it."

"She has always liked you very much, so don't be afraid that her opinion of you will change."

"No, I'm not afraid of this, I'm worried that if you come out with me like this, it will affect yourself...wait a minute," Shen Lan seemed to suddenly realize, "What did you mean just now, Aunt Qiao An knows all about it?Including, the relationship between the two of us?"

He Chen didn't speak, but the slightly raised eyebrows undoubtedly acquiesced to this matter.

"Wh, when did you know?!"

Shen Lan instantly became nervous: "Just before New Year's Eve, or earlier?"

"Is my aunt satisfied with my previous performance? Did you tell me where I did it... Hey, what are you laughing at? I'm asking you something!"

He Chen leaned on the seat, looked at Shen Lan's red earlobes from anxiety and smiled: "Honey, this is the first time I've seen you look so panicked."

This baby sound seemed to have poked Shen Lan's sensitive area all at once. The little hedgehog exploded the spikes and threw itself on He Chen with all its teeth and claws. It almost covered He Chen's mouth tightly with both hands, while keeping its eyes openLooking around in a panic, it looks like a guilty conscience.

"What are you yelling about? Who is your baby?!" Shen Lan's whole body turned red from neck to cheek, as if she was about to smoke, "Be careful if you talk nonsense again, I'll throw you directly from the car!"

"Why?" He Chen was covered with his mouth, but he didn't resist at all. Instead, he leaned on the seat indifferently, and let Shen Lan make trouble on him, "Don't you like it?"

An indistinct voice with a slight tremor slipped through his fingers and passed into Shen Lan's ears inadvertently, like a small electric current passing through one after another, making him feel trembling.

"Anyway, anyway, you are not allowed to call it that!"

"Well, it's okay." Taking advantage of the taxi driver's inattention, He Chen quietly put his arms around Shen Lan's thin waist, and whispered in his ear, "I'll call you when I'm alone."

"He Chen! You..."

Barbara——

A sudden brake stopped Shen Lan's words abruptly, and the taxi driver unlocked the car door expressionlessly, even speaking without any emotion.

"The video game city is here." The driver squeezed the steering wheel, hesitated and couldn't hold back, "I have no prejudice against this kind of feeling, but young people also need to restrain themselves. Besides, this is not unmanned driving, and I am also a person who can breathe."Talking creatures."

The driver's few words made Shen Lan even more ashamed. He covered his blushing cheeks, and after paying the money, he dragged He Chen out of the car in a hurry, wishing he could get in through a crack in the ground.

But He Chen seemed to be okay, not only didn't blush and heartbeat, but also walked to Shen Lan's side very calmly, resting his chin on his shoulder, and interlocking his fingers at the same time.

"Boyfriend, other people's coming-of-age ceremony is attended by parents, and your coming-of-age ceremony is attended by me."

"Open your eyes." He Chen squeezed Shen Lan's chin, "I will accompany you to the end for everything you want to feel today."

Changing his joking attitude halfway, He Chen is firm and serious at the moment, his steady and powerful voice is like a reassurance, not only clearing away the remaining haze in Shen Lan's heart, but also giving him the determination to go crazy to the end.

"Brother Chen, are you sure you want to accompany me in?" Shen Lan asked indifferently, "Isn't this something a good student should do?"

"Then you want me to be a good student?"

"In the past and in the future, you can be a good student, but today..." Shen Lan grabbed He Chen's hand and rushed towards the video game city without looking back, "Just be my bad student!"

From whack-a-mole to motorcycles, from dance machines to shooting games, the two of them switched all the contact software to the mode of not receiving messages, and played almost all the games in the video game city thoroughly.

In the afternoon, the two of them went to the largest playground in the north city. Not only did they play all the exciting items, but they also went to the extreme place to experience the feeling of bungee jumping.

The double stimulation of mental and physical strength made them feel that their blood was continuously boiling. Even in the snack street at night, they had to go to a few more stalls, and they were willing to stop with their hands full of food.

When the lights came on, the night light was always so beautiful, Shen Lan drank the last sip of milk tea, leaned back on the chair and burped, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

"Today is a very happy day."

He turned his head to look at He Chen, with a somewhat unclear expression in his eyes: "Brother Chen, thank you for being with me today."

"Lan Lan, I..."

"Brother Chen, you don't need to say anything more, I understand, whether it's the performance of Song Mian and others these days, or Aunt Qiao An's attitude, I know it's all the result of your hard work behind the scenes."

"You want me to be happy, and you don't want me to leave regrets," Shen Lan tapped on He Chen's phone screen, "So you prepared a surprise for me, right? The call just now was also related to this, right?"

He Chen didn't speak, but his flashing expression was enough to prove that Shen Lan's guess was not wrong.

From the very beginning, the relationship between them has always relied on He Chen's initiative and tolerance to advance.

Shen Lan has a good face, has a stubborn temper, and is unwilling to show his wounds to others, so He Chen pretends to be ignorant and stays by his side, tolerates his temper, makes him happy as much as possible, and at the same time gives him the greatest love.respect.

But Shen Lan knew in her heart that this kind of harmonious coexistence was achieved by He Chen's compromise step by step.

He Chen didn't want Shen Lan to leave regrets, but at the same time, Shen Lan didn't want He Chen to have an incomplete life.

Today's coming-of-age ceremony is an important moment for the two of them, so Shen Lan also wants He Chen to be happy because of him.

"Brother, I want to take you to a place, would you like to go with me?"
