In a large, luxurious, fantasy-like room, two boys stared intently at an LCD TV, not much smaller than a wall, holding a sleek PS3 wireless sensor controller in their hands — one of the thick-eyed boys' grinning facial expressions contrasted sharply with the laid-back demeanor of another high-nosed, blue-eyed boy — and the onlookers could easily see who the winner of the fight was without looking at the TV footage.

Half a minute later, the thick-eyed boy said, "Oh! He screamed, as if the last kick he had taken from the game character was to himself. With a loud "KO" on the TV, he pouted and let out a puff and lowered the handle in frustration. At the same time, a beautiful girl with shoulder-length hair who had been waiting by his side for a long time snatched the handle and said enthusiastically: "It's my turn!" ”

"It's useless, Lancy. You can't beat Sean, he's too good. The thick-eyed boy said with some annoyance, "He plays more than any of us, and he has long been proficient." ”

"Shut up, Kirton." The girl named Lancey said, "If you've ever seen my Mary performance in 'The King of Fighters,' you'll know that I have a talent for fighting games — even if it's a new fighter, I'll prove to my opponents that female fighters are good!" ”

"I don't have to look at Mary in The King of Fighters — Mary in reality is sitting next to me right now." Kirton scoffed.

Lancey ignored Kirton's teasing, as the fight had already begun. The game character she manipulates is indeed much more flexible and skilled than Kirton's. But after three rounds, she still couldn't avoid defeat under Sean's strong offensive continuous skills.

"It's a shame, female martial artist. You're going to have to hand over the handle too. Kirton shook his head and reached for it.

"Hey, wait." Lancey stretched the handle to the other side, "I've found the trick, give me another chance, I promise to win him." ”

"Don't play tricks, Lancy! Let's face it, you won't be able to win against him if you are given ten more chances! ”

Sean, who was sitting firmly in the ring on the other side, looked at Kirton and Lancy who were arguing over the handle, and laughed proudly and "giggled".

"I just can't stand it." At this time, a Sven boy standing next to the bookcase a few meters away from the three of them pushed the frame of his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his index finger, frowned and said, "Can your demeanor be a little more mature?" Competing for game consoles is the only thing that elementary school students do, so can't you do what high school students should do? ”

It can be seen that the words of this boy with glasses are somewhat intimidating. The two men stopped arguing and looked at him together. Kirton asked, "For example, Lu Hua?" What do you think high school students should do? ”

Sven coughed twice and said solemnly, "I don't think we should waste our time in the season of youth. Wisdom and truth should be sought in the sea of books, and in the process thinking about life and ......"

"Oh, no!" Before Lu Hua finished speaking, Corton held his head in his hands and said with an exaggerated expression, "Do you want to suggest that we plant bluegrass and comprehend the true meaning of life through daily observation and recording?" ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Hua actually thought about this problem very seriously for a moment, and said: "That's not true, the best season to plant bluegrass is spring, and now it's midsummer, and it's easy to die - however, this proposal is quite good - I will consider including it in our interest activities for the next winter vacation." ”

Kirton gasped, looked at Lu Hua and said, "Class Leader, please kill me before you make this decision." ”

Sean, whose eyes were as blue as a lake, said: "Lu Hua, these proposals of yours are not what high school students should do—but more suitable for retired old men and old ladies, don't you think so?" ”

Lu Hua frowned slightly: "I thought that foreigners were interested in planting bluegrass. ”

"Really?" Sean said, "Thank God for making me a half-race. ”

Lu Hua sighed helplessly, put the book in his hand back into the bookcase, and walked over to the three of them: "Seriously, we have nearly two months of summer vacation, don't you really plan to do something meaningful?" Playing games in an air-conditioned room every day? ”

Lan Xi spread her hands, pointed to the scorching sun outside the window, and said, "Look at the sun outside the window, squad leader, and estimate the current outdoor temperature,—— can you believe it, I can join the African nationality the next day by two hours of activity in this kind of daylight." ”

"I didn't say I had to be outdoors."

Lan Xi waved her hand and said, "No matter what you say, I don't think there is a better place in the world than this resort." ”

"Wait." "What do you call this place?" ”

Lancy turned her head to look at Sean, "I beg your pardon, I'm being a little more straightforward. But—" She turned her head to look at Cotton and Lu Hua again, "Isn't that the case?" The central air conditioning in Sean's mansion can make the climate like spring all year round. And every time we come to play, his Filipino maid will immediately bring juice and snacks, so that we can enjoy the high-end entertainment facilities here more comfortably. What's even more valuable is that Sean's big boss dad and beautiful American consul mom are so warm and hospitable, as if they wish we could stay here for a long time - oh, this place is more perfect than Hawaii, it's paradise. ”

Sean smiled softly and said, "Lancy, I'm glad you like my family so much. ”

Kirton looked unimpressed by Lancy's words, pouting and saying, "Do you need to be envious like this?" It's as if your own home is hell by comparison. ”

"I'm sorry you got it, that's the way it is." "My mom always tried everything to make my stay at home more uncomfortable, or to make it impossible for me to stay," said Lancey in a tired tone. And, speaking of—" she suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, and said with a wry smile, "it's all thanks to the three of you. ”

"What?" Lu Hua was very surprised, "You said that you couldn't stay in your own house because of us - what does this have to do with me?" ”

"It has the most to do with you." Lan Qian looked directly at Lu Hua, "Since the words are all spoken, I might as well tell you." My mom can repeat this type of words more than 30 times a day without tire: 'Look at your good friend Lu Hua, how diligent and studious he is, he takes the first place in the whole grade every semester, you are often with him, why don't you learn from others?' ”

Lancy exaggerated her mother's sharp tone, which made the other three laugh. "As far as my feelings are concerned, it's acceptable for my mom to nag 30 times a day, not to be as unstable as you say," Kirton said. ”

"Ha, ha—" Lancy smiled bitterly, "you haven't heard me yet." The remaining sixty times of her nagging came from you and Sean. ”

Sean asked with interest, "What do I have to learn from you?" ”

Lancy's language and tone changed to her mother again in an instant: "Look at Sean's house, how good the conditions are, can't you inspire a little self-motivation when you go to his house to play......

"Wait." Sean reached out and interrupted Lancy, "Isn't your mother sarcastic about me when she says that?" The conditions of my family are good, and I didn't create it, it's all thanks to my parents. ”

Lan Xi stared at Sean helplessly and said, "Unfortunately, it is your parents who want me to study. ”

"Oh, that's a bit unbearable." Sean frowned.

Kirton blinked and asked, "Then I really don't understand - my academic performance is not good, and my family conditions are very mediocre - what can your mother find in me to educate you?" ”

Lancey sighed, "Probably unfortunate - we were both high school classmates and elementary school classmates. This made my mother look up to your name for a long time when you were in the fourth grade of elementary school. Who didn't know at the school? In that all-school IQ test, you came up with an amazing score, the highest in the school. The number was so high that the teacher in charge of the IQ test was so surprised that he forgot the rule that 'test scores should not be made public', grabbed your test paper and jumped up, and exclaimed the number out loud - the whole school was in a big swing at the time, did you forget, Kirton? ”

Lanxi's words made Sean and Lu Hua's mouths open in surprise, and they all looked sideways together, staring at Kirton with wide eyes: "Is there such a thing?" Why have you never talked to us about it before? ”

"There's nothing to say, I'm a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and it just so happened to be all right." Kirton scratched his head and said lightly.

"What! You've got it all right! Lu Hua obviously did that set of questions, and his forehead actually showed a layer of sweat in the air-conditioned room with the 20-degree air conditioner on, "So, your IQ value is ......"

"I said it all, it was lucky, it was right."

"But I don't think you can get all the non-multiple-choice questions right." Lu Hua stared at Kirton.

"Hey, don't talk about this!" Kirton said to Lancey, "You really are, what are you talking about turning these old things up. ”

"I just want you to understand my miserable situation - now you can see why I have to find a way to escape from home every day during the summer holidays. But to be honest, I can only get my mother to let me out if I claim to have come to Sean's house to study with you, otherwise, I think I can only be locked up at home by my mother every day to memorize and do questions, until one day I cut my wrist and jumped out of the window on the eighth floor. ”

Lu Hua shook his head: "You mean, you tell your mother every day that you come to Sean's house to study with us - but in fact it's a vacation here?" ”

"Ah, this ...... Yes......" Lan Xi opened her mouth, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding.

"I'm not going to allow that to happen." Lu Hua said with a straight face, "I can't be a part of the partnership to deceive. ”

"And what are you going to do?" The fear in Lancy's heart deepened.

Lu Hua thought for a while, and said as if grasping some advantageous weapon: "You have two choices. First, come with me to the library to read and study; Second, let me tell your mom the truth about how you come to the 'resort' every day to 'learn'. ”

"Please, Lu Hua! You're not here for real, are you? Lancey shouted, "Look at our ...... so many years"

"It was for the sake of our friends for so many years that I decided to be responsible for you." Lu Hua said solemnly.

Lancy begged, "If you really want to be good for me, let me have a pleasant summer vacation!" ”

Lu Hua said: "The price of this temporary happiness is the unhappiness of the whole life in the future. Think about it, in today's increasingly severe form of employment......"

"Alright." Lan Xi stretched out her hand and gestured forward, "I'll choose the first option." ”

"That's good." Lu Hua smiled and said, "Let's go to the library now." ”

"What? Right now! The three of them shouted out almost in unison. Kirton said, "Isn't it, Lu Hua? Aren't you going to give Lancey a little time to prepare? ”

Lu Hua squinted at him: "What preparations do you have to go to the library to study?" You don't want to have a leisurely afternoon tea, then walk to the library in the afterglow of the sunset, say goodbye to the caretaker, and go straight home? ”

Cotton stuck out his tongue at Lancey, indicating that the last of his efforts for her had been in vain.

Lu Hua got up from the sofa and said to Kirton and Sean, "How is it?" Are you going together? ”

Kirton turned his head to look at Sean, asking for his opinion with his eyes. Sean said, "Let's go together, I also took this opportunity to look up the materials and finish those few history assignments." ”

Kirton shrugged his shoulders and said that the minority obeyed the majority.

Lu Hua said with satisfaction: "I'm really happy that you have found something fulfilling and meaningful to do. ”

Lancey said in frustration, "I'm so sad to have made good friends like you - sometimes I really don't understand, why am I not so good with girls my age, but I am friends with you three boys?" ”

"One explanation is that you fell in love with one of the three of us." Kirton winked at her, "Make a choice, Lancy - scholars, mixed-race rich and ordinary people, who do you choose?" ”

"I choose ordinary people." Lancey smiled sweetly at Kirton. At the same time, a fist of his right hand swung into Kirton's face. "Do you like this confession, Kirton?"
