Chapter 15: Birthday

When he returned to class, he was already in class, and when Brother Zhong saw that it was Chen Lan again, he originally wanted to teach a few lessons, but when he thought of Chen Lan's Chinese results in the monthly exam, he finally let Chen Lan in without saying anything.

Zhou Tingting took advantage of the old Brother Zhong to turn around and write on the blackboard, and asked Chen Lan in a low voice, "What is the English teacher looking for you?" โ€

Since Chen Lan broke up with Xu Yize, he has changed his lazy attitude and began to study seriously, so Zhou Tingting's attitude towards Chen Lan has also changed, and now the relationship between the two is not bad, seeing Chen Lan being called to the office by the English teacher for so long, Zhou Tingting was a little worried.

Chen Lan just wanted to go back to Zhou Tingting, when Brother Zhong turned around and picked up the textbook to continue lecturing, Chen Lan had no choice but to find a draft book and wrote on it: The English test paper for my monthly exam is missing, so I took the test again. โ€

Zhou Tingting cautiously glanced at the old Brother Zhong on the stage, and replied in the draft book: How could it be gone?

Chen Lan paused in the draft book with a pen before writing: Who hid it, don't talk about it, you can listen carefully.

Zhou Tingting glanced at Chen Lan in the draft book to reply to her words, and then pushed the draft book back, no longer distracted, and listened carefully to the class.

After a class time, most of the anger in Chen Lan's heart subsided, Chen Lan wanted to find trouble with the culprit, the problem was that she didn't know who hid her test paper.

After each test, the test paper is uploaded by the student at the last table in each group, passed to the student at the first table, and then handed to the podium by that classmate, so Chen Lan is not sure who hid her test paper, of course, the most likely is Lin Qi and Xu Yize's relatives and friends.

Xu Yize should disdain to do this kind of thing, Lin Qi is not in the same group as her, so it will not be Lin Qi, and there are only two people in this group who are most likely, one is Feng Wanlin, and the other is Liu Yun. These two are the most arrogant in the group of relatives and friends, because their boyfriends are all members of society, and other girls dare not offend these two.

"Chen Lan!" Jiang Feitong suddenly turned around and called Chen Lan.

"Huh?" Chen Lan came back to his senses and looked at him.

Jiang Feitong paused before saying, "This Friday is my birthday, I booked a box at Tang Dynasty KTV, you can also come over and play together." โ€

"I might ......"

Jiang Feitong interrupted Chen Lan's words, his expression was a little pleading, "I really hope you can come." โ€

Chen Lan wanted to refuse, but he was choked in his throat, "Okay, I'll try to squeeze out time." โ€

The reason why Chen Lan didn't want to go was very simple, because of Jiang Feitong's birthday, Xu Yize, a good brother, would definitely go, Xu Yize had gone, how could Lin Qi not go, plus the two relatives and friends, the house was full of their people, and Chen Lan was not shaking, why did he have to come up to find abuse.

In the previous life, Chen Lan didn't go to Jiang Feitong's birthday, and asked someone to send a gift to the past, and in this life, knowing Jiang Feitong's heart for her, Chen Lan really couldn't say anything to refuse, anyway, she was not in the same school when she went to high school, as long as Jiang Feitong didn't confess, she would treat it as if she didn't know, and after the time passed, Jiang Feitong was afraid that she wouldn't be able to remember who she was.

Chen Lan didn't go home for dinner at noon on Friday, went shopping with Zhang Jiajia, and picked out birthday gifts for Jiang Feitong.

Chen Lan was particularly annoyed to give birthday gifts to her classmates, the expensive ones couldn't afford them, and the cheap ones were embarrassed to give them away, so the two of them went around the mall and didn't buy any gifts.

Zhang Jiajia squatted down and rubbed her calves, "I can't do it anymore, I'm too tired, let's find a place to sit down first." โ€

Chen Lan looked around, pointed to the public rattan chair opposite the milk tea shop and said, "Let's go over there." โ€

Chen Lan ran to the queue and bought two cups of milk tea, which was chocolate-flavored for herself and vanilla-flavored for Zhang Jiajia.

Zhang Jiajia was not hypocritical, let alone said that she wanted to pay back Chen Lan. After taking the milk tea, he picked up the straw and poked it in, and took a big sip.

With less than an hour before class, Chen Lan decided that if she couldn't buy a suitable gift within half an hour, she wouldn't go in the evening.

Next to the milk tea shop was selling octopus balls, and a burst of fragrant and attractive smell came to his face, and Chen Lan's stomach began to protest, "Jiajia, we haven't eaten yet." โ€

Zhang Jiajia took a sip of milk tea, "No, I forgot about it." โ€

"I said why are you so hungry" Chen Lan covered her stomach and asked Zhang Jiajia, "What will you eat later?" โ€

Zhang Jiajia replied to her calmly, "I don't have time to eat bread." โ€

"No, I want to eat!! โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

At this time, a nice male voice sounded above, "Chen Lan? โ€

Chen Lan looked back and saw someone's slender thighs wrapped in tight jeans, Chen Lan then looked up and saw the octopus balls in someone's hand, and then looked up...... Just to Ding Yuan's pair of black-brown eyes.

Ding Yuan blinked, and when he saw that Chen Lan had been looking at him, he handed over the octopus balls he was holding in his hand, "Do you want to eat it?" โ€

Chen Lan wanted to refuse very strongly, but when she smelled the fragrance of octopus balls up close, her empty stomach protested again, and Chen Lan gave in, "Yes!" โ€

Zhang Jiajia didn't know Ding Yuan, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Chen Lan picked up a bamboo skewer and poked an octopus ball and handed it to Zhang Jiajia's mouth, Zhang Jiajia was embarrassed to death, but still opened her mouth and bit it. Chen Lan poked herself another octopus ball, and asked Ding Yuan while eating, "Why are you here?" โ€

Ding Yuan sat down and poked an octopus ball to eat, "Come out and find something to eat." โ€

Chen Lan: "......" knew that this would happen.

"What about you?"

"I bought a birthday present for my classmates, and I don't know what to buy yet." Chen Lan was just eating just now, and then he remembered that he hadn't introduced Zhang Jiajia yet.

"His name is Ding Yuan, from Guangming Middle School." Chen Lan pointed at Zhang Jiajia and introduced Ding Yuan, "This is my best friend, called Zhang Jiajia." โ€

Zhang Jiajia was already speechless from embarrassment, and said lightly to Ding Yuan: "Hello." โ€

Ding Yuan: "Hello. โ€

After saying that, several people fell silent.

Chen Lan: Is the atmosphere so embarrassing and swollen?

Ding Yuan suddenly said, "Who are you going to buy a birthday gift for?" โ€

Chen Lan: "Classmate, male, do you have an introduction?" After speaking, Chen Lan added, "Don't be too expensive, I can't afford it." โ€

Ding Yuan poked the last octopus ball to Chen Lan, "Hmm...... Send the book. โ€

Chen Lan took it, and didn't mind that the bamboo sticks were used by Ding Yuan, "People don't like to read." โ€

Ding Yuan explained, "It's not a reference book, it's a novel. โ€

Send novels.,This can be had.ใ€‚

Chen Lan asked again: "Do you have any recommendations?" He made a small request, "The male protagonist should not be obscene, he can have no female protagonist, and he can't open a harem." โ€

Ding Yuan said seriously: "I never read the male protagonist's harem text, you can rest assured, Sesame Cake's "Three Thousand Avenues" and Simi Lu's "Otherworld" are good, they have been published and can be bought in bookstores." โ€

Chen Lan has also read a lot of novels with no female protagonist or a single female protagonist, listening to the names of these two novels said by Ding Yuan, I immediately felt a kind of excitement to find a confidant, "I have read these two novels, the male protagonist is really handsome......"

Chen Lan noticed Zhang Jiajia's strange eyes, and immediately stopped, pulled the long hair behind her ears, and said reservedly: "I also think these two novels are very good, I'll buy them later." โ€

Ding Yuan blinked, "Why don't you go now, I also want to buy a few books to read." โ€

Chen Lan almost stood up and said, "Okay, good!" Let's hurry up! However, at this time, Zhang Jiajia's gaze was about to turn into a laser, Chen Lan's back was cold, and he smiled, "Won't it bother you?" โ€

"No, it won't."

Zhang Jiajia secretly pinched Chen Lan's waist and said to Ding Yuan with a smile: "Then please lead the way, we are not very familiar with this side." โ€

Ding Yuan took the two out of the mall, walked around a few streets for more than ten minutes, and the more remote they became, if Chen Lan didn't believe in Ding Yuan's character, I am afraid that at this time they couldn't help but wonder if Ding Yuan wanted to kidnap and sell the two of them.

Until I walked through a deserted alley, I came to another street, and the bookstore that Ding Yuan said was right in front of me. The bookstore is small in size, and there is a plaque made of mahogany on it, on which are written with the three big characters "Qingfeng Zhai".

There are no learning materials for students in Qingfeng Zhai, just some books such as novels, and there are so many novels on the shelves that Chen Lan can't see them.

"It's good here, the boss is my friend, I can give you a discount." Ding Yuan leaned over and said.

Chen Lan subtly felt that Ding Yuan was a little proud when he said this, Chen Lan was silent and asked, "How many novels have you read?" โ€

Ding Yuan thought for a while, "Just a few copies, many of them are not good-looking." My dad didn't like me to read such meaningless novels, so I usually hid them and read them. โ€

Chen Lan's three views were suddenly refreshed, it turned out that Xueshen would also hide under the covers to read novels, if those girls in No. 1 Middle School knew that the male god with such a cold appearance was cute and a foodie in private, and would hide under the cover to read novels, I was afraid that a heart would be broken into slag.

After picking two novels to check out, the boss saw Ding Yuan's face and gave a 6% discount, so the two genuine books cost less than 30 yuan. Then ask the boss to package the novel, so that the novel looks exquisite and beautiful from the outside.

It was almost two o'clock, and when the bus came out of the bookstore, Chen Lan hurriedly said hello to Ding Yuan and jumped on the bus with Zhang Jiajia.

Finding a place to sit down, Chen Lan made a bitter face, "I haven't eaten yet." โ€

Zhang Jiajia said: "I don't have time, buy a piece of bread outside the school to cushion my stomach." Also, how did you meet the people at Guangming Middle School? โ€

Chen Lan talked about the last time he went back to the bookstore and met Ding Yuan.

Zhang Jiajia said honestly: "If it weren't for you being too frank, I would have thought you had something to do with that Ding Yuan, but seriously, Ding Yuan is really good-looking, and his character is much better than Xu Yize." โ€

Chen Lan was embarrassed, "Jiajia, you think too much, Ding Yuan and I are just ordinary friends." โ€

"It's good if not." Zhang Jiajia is not a person who likes to preach, but she still said a few more words, "You finally figured out that you have to study hard, if another stinky man delays your future, see how I clean you up." โ€

Chen Lan remembered Zhang Jiajia's crazy appearance that day, and hurriedly promised, "I will never fall in love again, and I will not consider relationship issues before I am admitted to university." โ€

After school in the afternoon, Chen Lan and Zhang Jiajia made an appointment to go to Tang Dynasty KTV together at 7 o'clock, and then they half-ran home, first turned on the computer, and glanced at today's order while eating in the background of the Taobao store, and then logged in to the JJ author background to browse comments.

After reading this, just after eating, Chen Lan quickly washed the dishes and chopsticks, sat back in front of the computer, and crackled and typed.

An hour later, 3,000 words were completed, click to publish, and then look at the clock on the wall, it was almost 7 o'clock, and I didn't even take a shower, so I just put on my school uniform, picked up the bag I usually use, stuffed the novel I bought at noon today, and stuffed it into the packaged novel, and went out like this.

She made an appointment with Jiajia to meet at the intersection of the street, and she didn't know if Jiajia would arrive early, anyway, it's April now, and the weather is not too cold, so it doesn't matter if you wait a while. It's inconvenient to not have a mobile phone, like ten years later, as long as you have a mobile phone, you can have hundreds of ways to contact each other.

When I walked to the intersection, I just saw Zhang Jiajia coming, and the two walked about fifty meters to the nearest bus stop, Tang Dynasty KTV in the new city, there was no direct bus from the old city, and it took a transfer to arrive.

The Tang Dynasty was a newly opened luxury โ–กโ–ก, including catering, foot bathing, and all kinds of leisure and entertainment, and KTV only occupied one of the floors. In the Tang Dynasty, the consumption of one night was several thousand, and even ten years later, Chen Lan could not afford to be extravagant. And the fundamental reason why Jiang Feitong can be good brothers with Xu Yize is because Jiang Feitong's family is not bad for money, if it weren't for the fact that he booked a box in the Tang Dynasty to celebrate his birthday on his fifteenth birthday, few people in the class knew that Jiang Feitong was also a rich second generation.

In his previous life, Chen Lan often went to the Tang Dynasty with his boss and colleagues, so he was familiar with the layout of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Jiajia was still a little restrained when he first came to this environment.

Chen Lan shook Zhang Jiajia's hand, and after the two got on the elevator, Chen Lan pressed the button on the 8th floor.

After reaching the 8th floor, Chen Lan followed the numbers on the box all the way, and after finding Jiang Feitong's box to tell her, Chen Lan directly pushed the door in. The sound insulation of the box is excellent, and when the door is opened, the ghost cries and the wolf howls straight to the eardrums.

Chen Lan's temples jumped, and he immediately closed the door after entering the box.

When the two arrived in the Tang Dynasty, it was already 8 o'clock, and there were many people in the box, but fortunately, Jiang Feitong booked a large box, and no matter how many people could fit it, in addition to the classmates in his class, there were also many unfamiliar faces, Chen Lan guessed that they should all be Jiang Feitong's friends.

In his previous life, he didn't participate in Jiang Feitong's birthday, and Chen Lan didn't recognize those people, so when he found Jiang Feitong's location, Chen Lan walked over.

"Jiang Feitong, happy birthday!" As he spoke, he took out the gift in his bag and handed it over. Jiang Feitong had never seen Chen Lan next to several people, but when they saw Chen Lan, they smiled ambiguously, "It turns out that you are Chen Lan?" โ€

Jiang Feitong touched his nose, smiled awkwardly at Chen Lan, and then glared at the people, signaling them not to talk nonsense.

Zhang Jiajia also congratulated Jiang Feitong on his happy birthday, and then gave a gift.

At this time, a girl with eyes suddenly asked, "Chen Lan, what did you send?" โ€

From the custom point of view, the owner will not open the gift on the spot when he receives it, although Jiang Feitong really wants to know what the gift given by Chen Lan is, he will not think about opening it now, so when he heard the girl's unceremonious question, several people present were stunned.

"It's nothing, it's just a book." Chen Lan said lightly, not feeling that there was anything he couldn't give his gift to give.

The girl wanted to say something, but was pulled by the boy next to her, so she didn't speak again.

Another boy said curiously, "Huh? Why hasn't Xu Yize come yet? โ€

Chen Lan didn't pay attention to the people in the box as soon as he entered the door, and looked over, he really didn't see Xu Yize's figure, it stands to reason that it is impossible for Xu Yize not to come on Jiang Feitong's birthday.

When it came to Xu Yize, Jiang Feitong's face was a little unnatural, "He's not coming tonight." โ€

The people present obviously still had some eyes, and seeing that Jiang Feitong didn't want to say more, they didn't ask Xu Yize again, "Come on, let's have a drink, it's Xiaofei's birthday today, it's rare to be able to drink wine...... Several active people reheated the atmosphere.

Chen Lan found a remote corner to sit down, I don't know why I always felt that I shouldn't come over tonight, Chen Lan was in a low mood, and unconsciously drank several drinks.

"I'll go to the toilet, Jiajia, you help me with my bag."

After going to the toilet to wash his hands, Chen Lan brushed his hair in the mirror, and a tall figure appeared in the mirror.

Chen Lan was embarrassed, what is fate, you can meet Ding Yuan here.

Ding Yuan: "Hi~"

Chen Lan: "Hi-"

"Why are you here?" Ding Yuan asked.

"It's a classmate's birthday."

Ding Yuan smiled, the two washed their hands side by side on the faucet, because they were very close, Chen Lan turned his face sideways and saw a shallow dimple on Ding Yuan's right cheek, the dimple was relatively shallow, and he couldn't really see it if he didn't look carefully.

Chen Lan was surprised, "You actually have dimples!" โ€

Ding Yuan pursed his lips, glanced at Chen Lan unhappily, and left leisurely.

After Ding Yuan walked away, Chen Lan couldn't help laughing out loud, no wonder someone always said that Ding Yuan was cold, it turned out that the reason why Ding Yuan was always cold and didn't smile was that he didn't want others to find the dimples on his cheeks.

It's so cute! Chen Lan thought.
