Xia Yuan walked out of the house, and was shivering all over his body by the sudden gust of wind, and then realized that the weather in Yunhai City at the end of August seemed to be no longer suitable for him to come out in a vest. He looked at the thin blue coat in his hand, and then walked towards Xun Ran's house, after all, he was just going to deliver a piece of clothing, and he didn't need to go back soon.

The next moment he stepped into the courtyard, Xia Yuan first saw Xiaomi lying on the ground. Its ears drooped to the ground, its head tilted to its stomach, like an orange-yellow plush carpet.

Xiaocao was trampled under Xia Yuan's feet, making a slight sound, but this was still captured by Xiaomi's ears. It opened its eyes, lifted it up, and saw Xia Yuan, it jumped up as if it was being picked up, stretched out its tongue and circled around Xia Yuan, its claws jumped up and grabbed Xia Yuan's body, and made a scream.

"What's the matter, Xiaomi." Xun Ran heard the sound and stuck her head out of the bedroom window, she was still wearing pajamas and combing her hair.

"Girl, come down." Xia Yuan roared, sure enough, no matter how many times he saw Xun Ran's short hair, he was still not used to it.

"Ah, you're here, wait for me, I'll go down immediately." Before Xia Yuan could say anything, he drilled back again, and it was as short as a flash in the pan.

Xia Yuan sat on the lawn and rubbed Xiaomi's head, as if he was angry with it, but the dog's humble appearance was enjoying it.

"Let's make a bet!" Xia Yuan said. "Your mom just said right away, how long do you think the concept of right away is in a girl's dictionary? Hmph, you can't win a bet, at least for 10 minutes, this dead girl can't get down, do you believe it? ”

The dog stared at him and barked.

So, one person and one dog sat on the lawn and leaned against each other and waited, until Xiaomi was bored and fell to the ground again, and when Xia Yuan felt his legs tingle, Xun Ran panted and pushed open the door: "Come on, come on." ”

Xia Yuan turned his head and whispered to Xiaomi: "Look, I'm right." The dog whimpered with his eyes closed.

"Give me the coat." Xun Ran snatched it and put it on his body, and then looked Xia Yuan up and down: "What, what are you wearing?" If it doesn't work, you go back and get another one. ”

"What? I'll go back. Xia Yuan was pushed by Xun Ran on the ground.

"Oops, who made you late......"

"Am I late?"

"Oops, anyway, I'm too late, Yueyue's train will arrive at four o'clock!"

"So what?"

"So, you're going to have to ride me there." Xun Ran looked serious, then looked at his phone, and said to Xia Yuan, who was confused: "There are still 20 minutes, you have to ride quickly." ”

"What the hell are you going to do with me Nezha, riding Hot Wheels?" Xia Yuan knew that his idea of going out was too naïve, he should have sprinted upstairs 100 meters just now, smashed his clothes on Xun Ran's face, and then went home and locked the door, letting her go around in a circle.

Xun Ran's eyes widened, her face was pitiful, and Xiaomi seemed to have fallen into the camp, lying on Xia Yuan and humming.

"Please." Xun Ran's voice was weak: "I helped you make up for most of the summer vacation, so I should be a small reward." ”

Xia Yuan took 3 minutes from arriving home, tidying up things, getting dressed and riding an electric car, and when he came out, Xun Ran chattered at the door, saying that he was still too slow.

Xia Yuan put the helmet on Xun Ran's head: "Less nonsense, sit down!" ”

In the cloudy weather, the trees on both sides of the avenue were basically not shady, and the wind was still a little strong today, and the leaves were rustling. Xia Yuan didn't dare to screw the throttle to the end, Xun Ran's hand on his waist was hugged very tightly, what distracted him was not the turbulent traffic, but the touch from behind, he moved forward slightly, and Xun Ran moved forward, like a small koala attached to his body, his whole back was warm.

"Xia Yuan, are you still ......" Xun Ran put her face behind Xia Yuan's back, she liked this feeling of being lost for a long time, she didn't need to care about anything, she would feel very relieved if Xia Yuan took her away.

"Huh?" The sound of the wind was whistling in Xia Yuan's ears, and he couldn't hear what Xun Ran said.

Xun Ran yelled: "I said do you remember? ”

"What do you remember?"

"I remember when I was a child!"

Xia Yuan's electric car passed by a courtyard wall and turned the corner of a rubber tree, a place that he was familiar with, and he still remembered that he had climbed up and down the tree with Xun Ran, the highest point was about 5 meters high, and he had even tried to swing from one branch to another. Now that I think about it, the two of them are really fatal, although rubbing and bumping is a common thing, but they have never fallen from it.

"Do you remember this rubber tree?" Xia Yuan asked, he unconsciously slowed down the car.

"I remember." Xun Ran replied: "In the fourth grade of primary school, one day more than one day in July, you had a whim, saying that you want to be a pirate. I say; 'There's no sea near us.' Then you brought me here, and said that standing on a branch and looking into the distance is like a pirate standing on a mast looking at the sea. ”

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, and turned back when he waited for the red light: "Why do you remember the time so clearly?" ”

"I'm smart." Xun Ran urged with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's green light." ”

Xia Yuan started the car again, and his childhood memories always make people recall and chase scenes like addiction, and he is no exception: "Then what do you remember?" ”

"What do you want to hear? I remember it all. Xun Ran replied to the message on her mobile phone in the back, which was sent by Su Xin, asking her where she was.

"Then tell me about those times, my heroic deeds!" Xia Yuan patted his chest, and Xun Ran saw him in the rearview mirror with an expectant expression.

"Nope." Xun Ran replied nonchalantly.

"Nonsense, I don't remember one if I don't have a good memory."

"Oh? Let's hear it. Xun Ran's text message to Su Xin was: It's almost there.

"Do you remember, when I was a kid, I went to the playground at home, and then you cried and cried and had to come with me, and you were all over me. Oops, those tears and snot are flowing! Hurt! ”

Xun Ran pinched Xia Yuan's waist fiercely: "Let's talk about the point!" None of this matters! She found that one summer vacation, Xia Yuan was sitting at home studying, and there seemed to be some fat on his stomach.

"Don't do this, if I don't hold it later, people will overturn on their backs, and it will be two lives in one car."

"That's because you're not skilled." Xun Ran's hand tightened a little.

"Tsk, all right. I said...... Oh, well, then my dad agreed, let's go play together, when we go into the haunted house! Xia Yuan said this, the hand on his waist suddenly shook, and he knew that Xun Ran remembered. He continued: "You were so frightened by the 'ghost pushing' that you ran as fast as you could, and when you broke away from us, I chased after you, my mother, I didn't even catch up with you at that time, it was really an eye-opener, and I am afraid that you ran faster than you are now." ”

"That'...... Aren't you scared? ”

"I chased forward for a long time, but I also got lost, just around the 'labyrinth', when I passed the 'ghost gate', you cried under there, because only the ghosts that didn't pop out there scared you."

"This ...... You're mistaken. Xun Ran smiled and said, "I was scared enough, when you were scared enough, you were angry enough, right?" I actually wanted to hide there, wait for the scary staff of the haunted house to come, and then jump out and scare him. ”

"Yo, you're a thief."

"Not really."

"Do you remember what you did when I found you and appeared in front of you like a hero?"

Speaking of this, Xun Ran lost his voice, maybe he made some muttering sounds, anyway, Xia Yuan couldn't hear it, so he continued to shout: "Do you remember what you said at that time!" The next second, his voice was drowned out by the noisy car roar at the intersection......

"Xun Ran!" Xia Yuan yelled, he himself was so tired that he couldn't breathe, the maze he had just passed through had consumed almost all his strength, and he didn't know if Xun Ran would still be in the maze, at least when he shouted loudly inside, Xun Ran didn't answer him.

Just as he was about to turn back, Xia Yuan suddenly saw that under the rockery, behind the black curtain, a small blue shoe leaked out. The sharp-eyed Xia Yuan recognized the shoe at a glance, and he breathed a sigh of relief, like a deflated balloon. Then leisurely walked to the bottom of the "ghost gate".

He opened the curtain suddenly, and Xun Ran inside screamed, and then Xia Yuan leaned back and laughed.

"Hahaha, you didn't disguise well enough, you should ......" Xia Yuan didn't finish speaking, and in the next second, there was an extra Xiao Xun Ran pendant on his body, which made him sit on the ground with his butt and hurt.

"You...... Why did you come here? Xun Ran hugged him and cried, her whole cold body trembling.

The boy's desire to protect was like a volcanic eruption, erupting from the depths of Xia Yuan's heart: "Don't worry! Don't worry, I'll protect you, don't run far next time. ”

Xun Ran let go of her hand and stared at Xia Yuan with ruddy eyes: "Then you...... You said that you want to protect me, and you can't go back. ”

"No repentance."

"Guaranteed...... How long is it protected? Xun Ran wiped away her tears.

"Out of the haunted house."

"No, you have to protect me until I grow up, I can not cry, and I can protect myself."

"Huh?" Xia Yuan scratched his head, as if he didn't want to do this loss-making deal: "That can't be a lifetime?" ”

Xun Ran began to cry again, pouting and coquettishly: "That's for life!" ”

"Good!" Xia Yuan jumped up and yelled at the wall inside the house: "That! Protect you for the rest of your life! ”
