The light of two large red lanterns outside the compound of the Transportation Bureau dimmed in the sparse bamboo forest, and the faint light penetrated into an antique pavilion on the arch bridge of the atrium. On the other end, the "......!" fire trees and silver flowers illuminate the garden where the trees are still quite luxuriant.

It was Cheng Xiang and Li Yu who were setting off fireworks with some of the smaller children in the yard.

In the pavilion on the top of the glazed pagoda, Fan Xin was wearing a small windbreaker, suspenders, gray cotton pantyhose and a pair of black leather shoes...... Something out of place, or rather...... Transcend.

To say that among the children in the uncle's yard, Fan Xin is definitely the sensible type, she has been a praised good girl since she was a child, learning violin, attending tutorial classes, and finally transferring to Rongcheng, studying in Key No. 9 Middle School, she is also a very outstanding kind of child in the compound of the Transportation Bureau.

Liu Yong has a book called "Looking at Life with Cold Eyes", Fan Xin feels that in fact, she has never described herself more appropriately, from childhood to adulthood, when most of her peers were still ignorant, she wanted to learn the violin, play the piano well, and be able to attract warm applause from the audience at some dinners. When her peers were still singing "Sailor" and the Little Tigers at KTV, she was already able to sing "Right Here aiting" and "Unchained Melody" with a fluent standard accent to surprise others.

In fact, Fan Xin doesn't think that she doesn't fit into the world of her peers, but her eyes always look farther away, and it seems that from the beginning, she knows that she has a distance from the people around her. When she was playing with the Cheng brothers in the yard, she was always the one who knew the most measure, and she always came out to intervene in some things that crossed the line, and she was always more self-controlled and mature than them.

Of course, although this is the case, Cheng Ran doesn't have many opportunities to play together, just a few times. But it's still impressive.

Later, Fan Xin went all the way to Rongcheng, and there was even less such intersection. It's just that the third brother Cheng Xiang used to run to the Transportation Bureau often, so he should be more familiar with Fan Xin.

Fan Xin came back this time and met the three of them again, Cheng Xiang and Li Yu were younger, they were still playful at this time, and they went to fight with a group of friends in the yard, leaving Cheng Ran and Fan Xin, two peers who had a more common language in the pavilion at this time.

Although Fan Xin is the same age as Cheng Ran, her admission age is one year higher than Cheng Ran, so she is now in her second year of high school at Rongcheng No. 9 Middle School, and psychologically she thinks she is older than Cheng Ran. And when I returned to my hometown this time, I saw that the yard where I had lived for more than ten years was still like that, and my childhood friends were still the same as before.

It's just that the young man next to him is even more silent, is it because he is not used to dressing up and changing? Or does his growth smooth out the edges and corners of his previous restless and flamboyant appearance.

"Cheng Ran, your family still lives in the yard of Huatong Company?"

Cheng Ran nodded.

The impression of Huatong Company stayed before Fan Xin went out to study, and the uproar was that she couldn't pay her salary, and she also thought of Cheng Ran at that time. There is only sympathy in my heart.

Fan Xin tried to make the atmosphere a little more relaxed, "The grades are still very poor? let your parents save some snacks...... Which high school in Shanhai City are you studying in now, if I remember well, you are one year younger than me, right, at this time you are in the first year of high school?"

"Well," Cheng Ran, who seemed to be looking at the old courtyard like himself, said softly, "First High School." ”

"Oh...... First High School......" Fan Xin said casually, then reacted, stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

She looked at Cheng Ran again. Since Fan Xin was sensible, of course, she knew the weight of No. 1 High School in the education circle of Shanhai City, and it was even her goal once. It's just that later she wanted to go out, and her family had the conditions, so she went to Rongcheng No. 9 Middle School, from the key level, a national demonstration, a provincial key, and the No. 9 Middle School still has to be one level higher. She doesn't look up to Yigao now, but she has the impression that Cheng Ran belongs to the category of poor students, but she didn't expect to be able to go to a high school?

However, Fan Xin was also relieved, she understood where Cheng Ran's calmness in personality came from, no wonder...... In a place like a high school, the master is like a cloud, and he knows that he is small, so he can't be lively, and it should be the factor of inferiority at work.

"The content of high school is not simple, don't you think everyone is excellent, it is not easy to improve, you have to have your own set of learning methods...... Teach you a trick...... In terms of language, reading more books with logical thinking is good for cultivating your critical thinking and accumulation of materials. Mathematics is based on weak points. Watching original movies in English, VCDs have the function of removing subtitles, watch more, cultivate listening, and over time, touch the bypass ......"

Fan Xin said, in fact, there was a vague sense of guidance in it.

In fact, at this time, two teenage playmates suddenly met, and they were under this kind of pavilion carrying memories, each of them had grown up, and when the two of them were left in this pavilion just now, Cheng Xiang and a group of children in the courtyard were still joking about the two, leading them to the direction of men and women, saying things like "You guys are dating here, we won't bother you!"

So for a while, the two of them were a little embarrassed, and Fan Xin laughed like a silver bell, "Dead child!"

Now that Fan Xin has guided Cheng Ran like this, he has completely lost this embarrassing feeling, and faintly put Cheng Ran in the position of a little brother.

Cheng Ran also listened attentively to her "teachings", nodding from time to time, smiling and friendly.

Fan Xin felt that she really had such a good-looking younger brother with such a gentle smile and a happy mood, which was also a very happy thing.

It may not have been thought about between men and women...... But look at Cheng Ran......

I still can't get started.

Too tender.

……

The two chatted like this for a while, and Luo Youwei, who Fan Xin was waiting for, came over. Luo Youwei's father is Luo Guangzhong, deputy director of the Transportation Bureau, who studied at the Shanhai Local College of Finance and Economics, and is the same age as Cheng Ran's eldest brother Cheng Qi.

Luo Youwei's family background is good, at this time it is when the so-called Korean Wave has just begun to emerge in China, and he is also dressed as a "Ha Han", wearing a wide checked shirt and slacks with large trouser legs, which are loose throughout. He was also wearing a Yankee baseball team hat with an overlapping "YN" on his head, and he could see that he had been carefully dressed, and his hands were in his trouser pockets, and he walked over very "cool".

Seeing Luo Youwei, Fan Xin straightened the tips of the small leather shoes that he stepped on with his legs inward, looking more ladylike, and smiled at him, "Kang Youwei!"

This is probably the inherent name between them, although Luo Youwei is older than Fan Xin, he still gets along with each other like friends.

When I came over, I saw Cheng Ran beside me, I was stunned for a moment, and said, "Oh, you're here too." ”

Over there, Cheng Xiang and Li Yu both ran over and said to Fan Xin, "Sister Xinxin, it's time for someone...... When are we going to Song City?"

Cheng Xiang and Li Yu are very kind to Fan Xin, but not very good to Luo Youwei, this guy is usually very high-minded, a little pretentious, in short, the perception is not very good.

Luo Youwei frowned and said, "What kind of occasion is it for a while, how can you follow?"

Fan Xin said, "Xiao Yao is already over there, I said to bring three younger brothers, and he said no problem......

Cheng Ran was stunned and looked at Fan Xin, he has become a "cheap brother"?

Fan Xin winked at him.

This is cheaper to take ......

Luo Youwei's face was uncertain, and he said, "No, Fan Xin, that is the box booked by Liu Jin's father, Liu Zhongping, the boss of the construction investment company, and today is specially for Liu Jin to entertain, and it is said that the people invited today are very large...... Xiao Yao, his father, a director, can't speak in front of people, just listen to what he says...... Today, all of them are from Liu Jin's circle, and there are some who want to take advantage of Liu Jin's relationship to get online...... The person Liu Jin invited today...... The background energy of this mountain and sea is comparable to that of his family, no more than ten fingers.

"I heard about ...... before" Fan Xin nodded lightly, her father's relationship was actually very receptive to what Luo Youwei said. But at this time, she said, "Anyway, let's play...... Bring them along...... It's good to see the world. ”

Luo Youwei was stunned, but he still acquiesced to Fan Xin's statement of "seeing the world", and he said so much just now, now the Cheng family, Cheng Xiang and Li Yu are not kind to him, although he wants to act alone with Fan Xin, but at this time, there is no need to insist that the three brothers of the Cheng family cannot come to the stage. Anyway, he ordered it, he didn't think that bringing three people would cause any trouble, Shanhai City is located inland, multi-ethnic mixed, there are strong places in the folk customs, and there are also rivers and lakes floating in the society, Li Jin, who is worth more than 10 million, was instructed by his father to invite guests and hold a celebration banquet for the other party, in fact, the more people come, the more face it seems, and the owner is honored.

"Then go ahead, I'll drive my dad's car. Luo Youwei threw out a key to the Passat from his trouser pocket, and went to the garage next to him without showing off.

Needless to say, Cheng Ran also knew that this was probably a gathering of the children's circle in Shanhai City, Shanhai City is a place where wine culture prevails, so there are many specific atmospheres, and because the place is small, the social level is relatively fixed, and interpersonal communication extends in all directions, many of which are interconnected. There are also often cases where a son inherits his father's business, and a family has been operating here for a long time, with deep roots and intertwined forces.

On the table, many people who have family roots and stand at the top are actually consciously colluding with each other. Many fathers engage in business and careers together, and the following heirs are also a circle of friends.

Therefore, the so-called "circle of children" is real.

Cheng Ran is in Huatong Company, of course, it is not up to the level of Fan Xin and Luo Youwei, but today it seems that because they haven't seen each other for many years, Fan Xin brought the three Cheng Ran brothers with him.

While waiting for Luo Youwei to drive, Cheng Ran said to Fan Xin, "I'm not good at singing, or I won't go......"

Luo Youwei's car had already driven in front of him, and he braked the car with a bang, but Fan Xin took Cheng Ran's arm with one hand, opened a car door, and smiled, "Okay, just be my brother, how about helping me block the wine?"

Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, and dared to really regard herself as her "little brother".

was put on the car by Fan Xin's arm, and she sat in the co-pilot again, Cheng Xiang and Li Yu then squeezed in, but the two of them purely accompanied Sister Xinxin out of the song city to sing and play.

Cheng Ran thought to himself that he was to take care of his two younger brothers and send them back at night, and he had to leave this time.

The car moved forward, the scenery on the side of the road fell backwards, and after chatting with Luo Youwei, Fan Xin, who was the co-pilot in the front row, turned his head, and the light and shadow of a lantern on the road shone on Cheng Ran's face through the car window, making his face seem to be a little red.

Fan Xin laughed, "This is blushing? It's so cute...... Cheng Ran, be good, call Sister Sheng to listen. ”

Cheng Ran threw a bitter gourd face at her.
