Before running to the door of the house, Xia Yuan checked his mobile phone again, and he made twenty-seven calls to Xun Ran, and for a whole day, he didn't receive a single reply or call, as if she had evaporated from the world. The phone at home couldn't get through, and the basketball team was training at noon, and he didn't come back to see it in order to participate.

Looking at the courtyard of Xun Ran's house from the dim street lamp in the distance, the millet that was lying on the grass was gone, and Xia Yuan suddenly missed it.

Walking to the door, Xia Yuan took out his mobile phone to reconfirm the information on the mobile phone, and after seeing that there was still no reply, he knocked on the door. The dull sound of hitting seemed to hit a piece of soaked wood, and there was no echo, so Xia Yuan exerted some strength.

He stood in the doorway, and he couldn't hear any sound, and the winter night seemed lonely and deserted. He remembered that this was one of the few days when he hadn't heard the girl's big grinning voice, and his ears suddenly itched.

Girl! Girl! You come out for me! Xia Yuan roared angrily in his heart, but he still didn't dare to make a sound, he slammed the door again, and his hand hurt.

For a long time, no one answered.

He walked down the stairs and looked through the window, it was pitch black, like a black cavern, and it made people fear the unknown. Xia Yuan took out his mobile phone and dialed the landline phone at Xun Ran's house, and he put his ear to the cold window.

The phone in the living room rang lonely, echoing, stimulating Xia Yuan's nerves.

"Answer the phone! Answer the phone! ”

Where did Xun Ran go? If she doesn't reply to the message, forget it, why can't he get through the phone at home, if she is out of the house, the girl has never once not reported to herself before leaving, or she has an extremely urgent matter at home.

Xia Yuan waited until the phone automatically hung up before he put the phone down.

"What are you doing?"

This familiar voice washed away the anxiety in Xia Yuan's whole body at once, and he must have turned around with a smile and saw Xun Ran and the millet she was holding standing at the gate of the courtyard.

"Girl!" Xia Yuan ran over, and Xiaomi stuck out her tongue to greet her, but was firmly held by Xun Ran, who lowered her ears aggrievedly and sat down obediently.

Xun Ran unconsciously took half a step back.

"Where have you been?" Xia Yuan roared, he had actually roughly guessed that Xun Ran, dressed in gray sportswear, should have taken Xiaomi for a walk.

"It's okay, just go out for a walk." Xun Ran's voice replied coldly, like a cool breeze passing between the two.

"Are you alright? Why don't you come to school. ”

"I wasn't feeling well today, so I didn't go."

"Then you won't answer your phone?"

"If it's broken, fix it in the shop."

"Where's your family?"

"Mom and Dad have gone back to Grandma's house, are there any questions? I have to go home for dinner. Xun Ran smiled, Xia Yuan felt that this curled arc was a little strange and far-fetched, he deeply felt that there was a gap between the two, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

"Girl, are you still uncomfortable, your face is ......" Xia Yuan stretched out his hand, wanting to test the temperature of Xun Ran's forehead, but was blocked by Xun Ran, this has never happened.

"I said no." Xun Ran's tone was a little heavier, which made Xia Yuan feel a little scared. "I'm going back." After speaking, Xun Ran turned sideways and walked towards the house, Xiaomi followed behind, and its raised eyes were nostalgic towards Xia Yuan.

Is this really a girl? Xia Yuan thought about it, as if she was on the opposite side, she came out of somewhere and stood in front of him, so the brain-consuming plots in science fiction popped into his mind, and then he scolded himself for being naïve.

"Xun Ran!" Xia Yuan called out to Xun Ran the moment she opened the door.

"What?"

"That, go to my house to eat, you still have to burn it at home, it's troublesome, isn't it?" Xia Yuan squeezed out a smile, stiff as a wax figure.

"Oh, no, I'm not too hungry, I'm going to eat whatever I want." The black eyes were embedded in Xun Ran's eyes, and the lifeless appearance of the black hole seemed like he had just peeked into the room through the window, which made Xia Yuan shudder.

In Xiaomi's unprovoked whimper, Xun Ran closed the door, and silence surrounded Xia Yuan again, and the air he inhaled into his lungs was as cold and piercing as Xun Ran's words. Then, a light snow drifted in the sky, and the light of the street lamps brightened the snowflakes, fluttering and scattering, scattering fragments all over the ground, and it was impossible to put together a shape.

She was acting pretty well, leaning against Xun Ran behind the door, she ignored her surging heartbeat, because she knew it was inevitable. She felt a touch on her legs, and looked down to see Millet scratching her trouser legs.

"Oh, I'm hungry." Xun Ran walked towards the kitchen, took out the dog food above the closet, poured it for Millet, and then took off his coat, intending to make a bowl of noodles for himself.

At this time, the news of the mobile phone came out, Xun Ran originally thought that it was Xia Yuan or other friends' concern, but she still planned to ignore it like herself today, otherwise the matter of her own broken mobile phone would be revealed. It wasn't until the news came again and again, like bubbling water in a pot, that she impatiently took out her mobile phone.

Unexpectedly, it was a picture message sent by Hu Guang, a whole 8 photos, all of which are the cute shape of a golden retriever, it is like a baby taking a full moon photo wearing various fancy clothes, so cute that it is about to overflow the screen.

Hu Guang: "My youngest daughter. ”

Xun Ran turned off the fire, ran to the side of Xiaomi, pouted and made a picture with it that was gobbling it up, looked at it and felt that it was inappropriate, and deleted it, when Xiaomi finished eating her food and began to drink water, Xun Ran picked out her favorite one.

She paused for a moment as she reached for the send button, wondering if it was inappropriate to reveal her message like this.

Whatever, I've met him, and I'm not a netizen. What's more, they are classmates from the same school, and they look kind, Xun Ran thought, and then sent the photo over.

Xun Ran: "My little warm man." ”

Hu Guang: "Mother and son are very good-looking." ”

Xun Ran: "That's not it. ”

Hu Guang: "What's that...... Actually, I want to ask you, do you feel better? ”

Xun Ran: "Are you sure this is not a trend that wants to develop in the direction of an improper relationship?" I think the atmosphere in which you are chatting with you is a little subtle. ”

Hu Guang: "There are many references to improper relationships, some are related to money, some are related to interests, and I think you are the latter for me. ”

Xun Ran: "? ”

Hu Guang: "It is undeniable that I sat next to you this morning, in fact, I was afraid that you would do something because of your low mood. You know, it's a lake! There is no one to guard yet, so from the moment I intervene, you can be regarded as a person with a stake in me, after all, if your mood is worse than in the morning now, then my morning time is not wasted, from the perspective of my own energy and interests, you are the object that I can't ignore either. ”

It took Xun Ran a while to finish reading this passage, she never knew that a boy could combine sensibility and reason, Ke Yuhan put reason first, and Xia Yuan was a brainless and easy-to-act wooden head. Hu Guang is like a combination of these two people, and has abandoned the shortcomings of the two.

She struggled for a while, not knowing how to go back to be more in-depth, as if chatting with him without words and talking about nutritious topics would violate some invisible precept. Perhaps this is the collision between two different upbringings.

The news came and interrupted her thoughts.

Hu Guang: "Are you still there?" ”

Xun Ran: "Oh, yes, to be honest, I just don't know what to reply to you, haha." ”

Hu Guang: "I...... Did you say something inappropriate? ”

Xun Ran: "No, no, no! No, I just think what you said makes so much sense, and I feel a little embarrassed to reply casually. ”

Hu Guang: "It's just a chat, if it's a bit heavy, let's change the topic." ”

Hu Guang: "How about we scold your ex-boyfriend?" ”

Xun Ran: "Hehe, actually, I haven't fallen out of love, it's just that the boy I like told me that he likes another girl, and I'm very ...... No, a little frustrated. ”

Hu Guang: "Oh, that's it, it's okay, we can talk the same, I guess, if you can be liked by a girl like you, that boy shouldn't be bad." ”

Xun Ran: "He's a wooden head, I'll call him a little wood......

Xun Ran unconsciously relaxed, forgetting his hunger, and didn't feel so irritated when he mentioned the topic of Xia Yuan, maybe what he and Hu Guang were talking about was still only the past, and it had nothing to do with all kinds of troubles in the future. She lay comfortably on the sofa, lowered her hand to be able to touch Xiaomi's hairy body, and comfortably poured all the bitter water on the boy on the other side of the screen, perhaps because she had known each other for a short time, this way was not guilty, and she happened to find an object of complaint when she had nowhere to confide.

They talked about Xia Yuan's experience with himself when he was a child, how he had a good impression of him, what sweet things he and Xia Yuan had experienced, and then talked about some of Xia Yuan's troubles and habits, whether he liked it or not, he could say it clearly and word for word. Somehow, most of what she recalled was Xia Yuan's good, and it was difficult for her to put her disgust on him, which was too awkward.

That night, Xun Ran was staring at the sofa and fell asleep.

The last message from Hu Guang was: "Thank you, tell me these things, thank you......" The message was withdrawn after half a minute and replaced with: "Good night." ”

Xia Yuan walked home in a frustrated manner, and when he entered the door, he saw from the floor mirror that his head had been drenched with some snowflakes, and he had been standing in Xun Ran's yard for a long time just now, and his mind was empty and he didn't know what he was doing.

He pulled his hair twice, paced slowly to the couch, threw off his bag and collapsed on it, his whole body as if he had been pulled to the bone.

"What's wrong? Tired like this, running back? Xia Yuan's expression was so distracted that he didn't notice Xia Hefeng sitting on the other end of the sofa, he was reading a paper newspaper with a pair of glasses, and he couldn't help but be frightened: Is Dad short-sighted? He also reads newspapers?

"It's kind of ...... Tsk, annoying. Xia Yuan washed his face with his hand, his face was full of sadness, and he also fell into the sofa halfway while exhaling.

"Hey!" Xia Hefeng took off his glasses, and he leaned over with a red face, with a greasy smile on his face: "Come, talk to Dad, what's the trouble." ”

"I don't know what to say."

"Stinky boy, I haven't learned the language well, what can't I tell my dad about something."

"No......" Xia Yuan glanced at his father, his face was indeed full of curiosity, but he really didn't know how to describe Xun Ran's state. That one...... Dad, I want to ask you, what do you think about 'puppy love'? ”

Xia Hefeng's eyebrows raised the forehead lines on his forehead, and his mouth was like a clown in a circus. "Oops! Stinky boy, you're out of breath hahahaha! Xia Hefeng's slap slapped Xia Yuan's back again and again, this "loving" way of encouragement made Xia Yuan cough, and hurriedly asked him to stop, and he also had a bottom in his heart.

"Talk to Dad!" Xia Hefeng rolled up his sleeves and sat closer. "Which girl, is she beautiful?"

"Don't get excited, Dad, I'm not in love."

"What's that? Are you fooling me? ”

"No, no, no." Xia Yuan blocked his father's raised hand, "It's Xun Ran, I think she's a little strange, but I don't know which sentence provoked her, if you want to talk to you about the ins and outs, you really have to bring out the matter of early love, fortunately, you always know the righteousness, if my mother listens to me, I'm afraid she will have to pump me and let me study hard." ”

"Xun Ran?" Xia Hefeng asked with concern: "What's wrong with her?" ”

Xia Yuan began to tell him about the content of running and chatting with Xun Ran a few days ago, and told his father about Xun Ran's disappearance for a day today.

After Xia Hefeng listened, his thick black eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at his son blankly. Thinking about how could he be stunned like this? The head is like wood, or bad wood.

"Son, have you ever thought about stringing all these things together? In that case, the situation will be clearer. ”

"Skewers?" The first thing that came to Xia Yuan's mind was the fragrant appearance of the barbecue. "What's going on?"

"So, Daddy has some hints for you." Xia Hefeng put his arm around Xia Yuan's shoulders, intending to teach him some skills from this unsuccessful son. "You confessed to the girl you liked, and then Xun Ran disappeared, and then her attitude changed 180 degrees, the point is here!" He held up his finger to emphasize: "That girl is not her!" What would she think to be angry? ”

Xia Yuan's wide eyes were full of doubts, it was actually a very simple matter, yes, the first one that popped up in his mind was also related to emotions, but he didn't dare to associate it in that direction, otherwise, the situation would be too troublesome.

"I ...... I ......"

"Yes! Think big! ”

She ...... Like...... Joy ......"

"Hey! Say! Go on! Don't be afraid! What Xia Hefeng imagined in his mind at this time was already the scene of his son and Xun Ran tying the knot, his smile was bright and ecstatic, Xun Ran liked Xia Yuan's matter, and the parents, as discerning people, had already seen it thoroughly.

She ...... too. I like ......" Xia Yuan tried hard to smooth his tongue, "I..... Do I like the girl? ”

After finishing speaking, his head was slapped with "fatherly love". "Where did you learn this thought? Fool me! Xia Hefeng hated that iron could not become steel, and felt that even if Xia Yuan really caught up with Xun Ran one day, it would be a matter of making her angry.

"What the hell is that?" Xia Yuan rubbed his head.

"Give Lao Tzu 'Do you like the girl'!" After speaking, Xia Hefeng got up in a dashing manner and turned into his bedroom.

"Go...... Finish? ”

Xia Yuan pieced it together in his mind, and then slammed a spirit, and stayed on the sofa stiffly, looking like he had no soul.
