Chapter 1 Sprouting under the Ancient Tree

Next Chapter

As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Fu Shaotian silently packed his schoolbag and walked to the playground alone, without any emotion in his eyes, like a dry well in a great drought. Fu Shaotian is in the third year of high school this year, and basically all high schools in China will start early in the third year of high school, and start the last year of hard work in the hot summer. Because it is the third year of high school, there are not many people in the school, but there are also groups of boys on the playground who are noisily discussing games together, and there are also girls discussing celebrity gossip together. Fu Shaotian walked slowly to an old tree on the edge of the playground and looked at the tree.

This tree has been here for I don't know how many years, its thick branches, its lush leaves, everything it shows makes people feel its strong vitality. But the devastated bark shows the vicissitudes it deserves. The oldest qualified school worker in the school said that the tree was already here when he was still wearing open crotch pants, and he heard his grandfather say that this tree has been with me for I don't know how many generations. Therefore, when the school was rebuilt, the tree was deliberately kept and not cut down.

"Son of the tree, son of the tree, I'm coming to see you!" Fu Shao leaned into a cattery on a branch.

At this time, a cat came down from the tree, the whole body was snow-white, and not a single hair was variegated, and its agile body pounced on Fu Shaotian like an elf. Fu Shaotian seemed to be accustomed to the sudden appearance of the kitten, and he didn't seem very surprised, so he hugged the cat and sat down slowly against the tree.

"You're in the trees again, and you're not going anywhere but here for a day. Are you waiting for me, come one day without food, I'll see if you can run. Fu Shaotian said leisurely while gently brushing the cat hair, his eyes began to become gentle and attentive when he spoke, and he was still a very delicate boy when he looked closely.

When Fu Shaotian was talking and laughing and teasing the kitten, a slender figure quietly walked over from the side, and before he walked to Fu Shaotian's side, the kitten had already jumped out of Fu Shaotian's arms and pounced on the figure, and the figure came with a silver bell-like laughter: "Hahahahaha, itch to death, tree son! Naughty to death, you won't be given good food in the future!"

It turned out to be a girl in a school uniform, who looked smart and cute, with long straight and beautiful black hair fluttering in the breeze because of the plucking of the tree son, and her eyes were full of immature maternal love when she looked at the tree son in her arms. Fu Shao leaned against the old tree against the sunset and watched the girl and the tree son frolicking, feeling like watching Chang'e in her arms again, as beautiful and moving.

The girl obviously noticed that Fu Shaotian was staring at her, and lowered her head to Fu Shaotian and said, "What are you looking at, are you seeing me for the first time?"

Fu Shaotian didn't find the girl's playful crimson face because he was against the sun, and if he found it, he might be even more unable to extricate himself, but now he seemed a little flustered: "No! No! I'm looking at the son of the tree, watching it flirt with beautiful women." ”

The girl listened and grabbed one of the claws of the tree son and pretended to scratch Fu Shaotian, "you! The tree son won't be as obsessed as you!" Fu Shaotian took the tree son over and moved it to the side to leave a place for the girl, "This can be said, everyone has a love for beauty, but I can't keep this tree son's heart rippling, I haven't seen it go to the female cat." ”

The girl straightened her skirt, sat down beside Fu Shaotian, stretched out her hand, gently pinched the furry ears of the tree son, and said: "I wish the tree son would like me! I will marry the tree son in the future! Okay, the tree son~" The tree son meowed twice and didn't know whether to agree or refuse, which caused the two people to laugh.

This girl's name is Chen Yanran, and she is in her third year of high school like Fu Shaotian, but she is a liberal arts student and Fu Shaotian is a science major. The two of them met because of the tree son when they first entered high school, and when it was just autumn, they all said that the spring was lacking and the autumn was sleepy, and Fu Shaotian was punished by the teacher because he fell asleep in class to help the school worker clean up the fallen leaves on the playground. It didn't take long for Fu Shaotian to get tired of back and leg pain, so he went to the commissary and bought two bottles of Red Bull for his uncle, said a few good words, and ran to sit under the big tree in the corner of the playground and be lazy.

As soon as Fu Shaotian sat down to catch his breath, a wild cat fell from the tree, and landed in front of Fu Shaotian. Fu Shaotian didn't care about the cat, because when the cat jumped down, it brought down a lot of dead leaves, which all fell on Fu Shaotian's body.

After Fu Shaotian cleaned up all the fallen leaves on his body, he looked at the cat in front of him and found that the cat was not only not afraid of him, but was also watching Fu Shaotian. Fu Shaotian was fascinated by its clear eyes, and slowly stretched out his hand to pet the cat. The kitten dodged a few times at first, and after discovering the ham sausage that Fu Shaotian didn't know where to pull it out, he let him do whatever he wanted.

When Fu Shaotian was teasing the kitten, a voice like a collision of rings came: "Wow! What a cute cat! That classmate, did you raise this cat? Can we still bring cats to our school?"

How does this look like a stray cat? A school with cats? It seems that only Hogwarts can! Did this girl grow up in China? But this girl is really beautiful. Fu Shao thought in his heart, but he definitely couldn't say that. "No, no, I didn't raise it, I sat here and jumped off the tree by itself, and this is the first time I've seen it. ”

"It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful kitten! It's so cute! It's a pity that I don't let it be kept at home, otherwise I will definitely take it home." The girl's expression was a little disappointed, and she slowly squatted down and stroked the kitten in Fu Shaotian's arms.

This is the first meeting between Fu Shaotian and Chen Yanran, which is very similar to the picture in the novel. After Chen Yanran slowly calmed down in the ecstasy of meeting the kitten for the first time, Fu Shaotian found that she had an elegant and indifferent but approachable temperament. This kind of temperament, coupled with a beautiful face and a voice like a ring, made this young man who was just starting to fall in love have the feeling of a deer crashing for the first time. He panicked, not knowing what posture he should pose, what kind of rhetoric he needed to speak, what kind of facial expression he needed. The only thing he knew was that he must not let her know that he had been punished for sweeping the leaves because he slept in class! He couldn't let her know that he was here to be lazy by teasing the cat!

Sure enough, Chen Yanran raised her head and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Hello~ My name is Chen Yanran, a freshman in high school, what about you? It should be a senior, only our class and the senior over there are in physical education class." Fu Shaotian looked at Chen Yanran, there were beads of sweat on her forehead that hadn't dried up after exercising, and the reason for thinking about physical education class was really impeccable! But if I want to say that I am not a senior in physical education class, I will not be a senior in the third year of high school! This lie can't be fulfilled! But what is the reason why I can appear here at this time! Fu Shaotian couldn't think of an excuse for a long time, and the sweat on his forehead began to be more than Chen Yanran's.

If you can't think of an excuse, you don't want to! What to explain?,Does the life of the decaying dog need to be explained? This girl is so cute, she must forget about this stubble after a while.。 Fu Shao comforted himself so in his heart, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Chen Yanran, "No, I'm not a senior in high school, don't worry about this, I don't know if anyone has this cat." Chen Yanran listened and looked down at the cat, and said distressedly: "It should be no one to raise, you see that its hair is so dirty and muddy, and it looks like firewood, and it looks like it can't eat all day long." Or... Let's keep it!

Fu Shao's heart was shocked, feeling that this cat vaguely connected himself with the girl in front of him, and there would be traces of her in his life. So he quickly nodded and agreed, "Yes, this will be our cat from now on, first of all, we must give this cat a name." Well... This cat jumped from a tree, so let's call it a tree son!" Chen Yanran laughed when she heard this, "You will definitely be a science student in the future! How can you give a cat this name? But this name is so fun, why don't you try it? If not, let's change it again." Fu Shao listened to her say this, smiled stupidly and nodded.

In this way, the cat was adopted by these two people for two years, and in a blink of an eye, these two freshmen have become the oldest senior party in this school. There is still a year to take the college entrance examination, go their separate ways, and start their new life.

Chen Yanran leaned against the tree and watched the gradually declining sunset, her eyes slowly overflowed a little blurry, and she said quietly: "It's so fast to lean less, we are all in our third year of high school." At this time, I would be at my grandmother's house in the countryside, lying on a wicker chair and reading my favorite books, but now I have to desperately memorize knowledge points, and I feel that I have slowly become a machine. But fortunately, there are still you and the son of the tree, thinking of you I feel that I am still alive here, I am not a machine, my heart is still alive. After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Fu Shaotian gently.

Fu Shao felt warm in his heart when he heard it, why shouldn't he, he hadn't seen his parents since he was a child, and his uncle pulled him up. Uncle is very strict and has high requirements for himself, only here, in the face of Chen Yanran and the son of the tree, he is really completely relaxed. If he could, he would like it to go on forever. However, after being suddenly attacked by Chen Yanran's lyrical words, Fu Shaotian was a little dizzy, he was not good at expressing his emotions, so he never expressed his heart to Chen Yanran. But Chen Yanran is not in a hurry, she likes to read romance novels since she was a child, and has read too many love stories, what she likes is the kind of long companionship and a faint life. Sometimes looking at this emotionally stupid fool, I can't help but feel warm in my heart.

"Which university are you going to go to?" After a long time, Fu Shaotian only asked this question.

"I don't know, there's still a year to go, and I don't know how far I can improve this year. Let's study it for a while and then look at it, what about you?" Chen Yanran thought for a while and said.

"I... You don't know my results yet, you can go anywhere~ I'll be wherever you go. Fu Shaotian said with a smile. Not to mention anything else, Fu Shaotian is usually lazy to use Chen Yanran's words, but he has nothing to eat, and he may rather grab cat food with the son of the tree than raise his leg to buy something for people to eat. But he never forgets and learns very quickly, so his grades have always been very good. He always felt that he should go to a liberal arts class, and he could always be with Chen Yanran without having to work hard, but his uncle wanted him to go to science, so he didn't go against his uncle's wishes. After all, the uncle has been alone for so many years, without a wife and no children, and has always treated Fu Shaotian as his own son. So no matter which university Chen Yanran goes to, he has the ability to follow, and whenever he thinks that he can leave here with Chen Yanran to go to college, he will secretly be excited for a while.

"Alas... You said that you have such a good life, you are born with a good head, not as bitter and tired as me. If only I were like you, I could play with the tree son all day without reading those boring books. Chen Yanran said with envy and jealousy.

"Okay, don't daydream about it, but unfortunately you don't know it? Hurry up and go back to study, don't you study for you alone? Do you know if you try your best to get into a good university?" Fu Shaotian said as he slowly stood up, patted the tree son, and it quickly ran to the tree and got into the nest that Fu Shaotian and Chen Yanran had built for it.

After Shaoting pulled Chen Yanran up, the two said goodbye to the son of the tree, and then went home together talking and laughing. Unbeknownst to them, in the equipment room on the other side of the playground, there was a man in the shadows watching them, waiting for them to leave. Looking at the back of them leaving, he smiled evilly: "Thousands of years have passed, this world that developed in falsehood should see the truth!"
