Chapter 408: Growing Pains
A little bit earlier.
It is a mid-range hotel chain.
In fact, just from the perspective of rest, mid-range hotel chains, such as Homeinns, Oranges, Hanting and other hotels, are no worse than five-star hotels.
Of course, this is only a comparison based on the standard room type.
The higher luxury of high-end hotels, the most expensive place lies in the public areas and supporting facilities, and the quality of ordinary standard rooms alone may not even be better.
And compared to a hotel that costs a few tens of dollars, this place is upscale enough.
Durala and Bai Chunjuan marveled in the room at the small Xiaoice box in the room with free soda drinks, marveled at the large bathtub in the bathroom, and marveled at the feather pillows.
It costs a lot to stay here for one night!
They were originally a little apprehensive, but fortunately, Yi Chuan's brother had already said that they didn't have to pay for the room.
This time, they originally came with the mentality of traveling, and it was an extremely rare experience for them to stay in such a hotel for a few days.
"I don't know if this Coke is finished, will it be replenished."
"I guess so......"
"And snacks!"
"How about coming back in the evening for a bath? I've wanted to try the bubble bath on TV for a long time! ”
"Hey...... Haven't seen the world! ”
"You've seen it, you've seen ......"
"Isn't that? When I was a child, I used that big iron basin at home and soaked ...... in it."
"Hee-hee...... You were still wearing open crotch pants back then, right? ”
After some playing, Bai Chunjuan lay on the bed and suddenly asked, "By the way, Lala, when are you going to tell Yi Chuan?" ”
Hearing this, Du Lala was stunned for a moment, her eyes were a little deep, and she stared at the ownerless lamp on the ceiling.
The lights in this hotel are so good-looking.
He sighed slightly.
"Chunjuan, you say, do I still want to tell him?"
"Huh?" Bai Chunjuan suddenly sat up and said solemnly: "Do you want to retreat?" ”
Durala showed a tangled expression, "It can't be said to be a retreat, right...... Alas, it's ...... anyway"
"Lala, you have to think clearly, if you miss this opportunity, you will really regret it in the future!"
Durala buried her face in the fluffy pillow.
The white pillow smells like textiles, and it smells great.
There are a few things on my head.
She likes Yi Chuan.
But the relationship with Yi Chuan is usually more like a brother.
Since she fell out with Zhan Chao last time, she has never had any ambiguous relationships with other boys.
has always been only good with Yi Chuan.
Yi Chuan said that she was his best friend, but there was nothing else to say.
He just wanted to concentrate on his studies.
She knew that there was an unspeakable distance from Yi Chuan, especially when she saw his brother again in Hanning City this time.
His elder brother is a top student at a prestigious university, and he also heard that he has opened a large company in Hanning City, and the cars he drives are millions of BMWs......
It's amazing.
And although he is only Yi Chuan's cousin, she has also heard that Yi Chuan's cousin has no parents, and their family is his cousin's closest people.
Then, even she knows that Yi Chuan's cousin's "power" will eventually radiate to him.
This time she came to Hanning City to take the exam, although she and Bai Chunjuan also signed up, there is no doubt that they can only join in the fun.
At the previous class reunion, she wanted to tell Yi Chuan some of her inner thoughts, so she kept getting close to him, and finally walked all the way along the river and chatted all the way......
But in the end, nothing was said.
Her mother opened a duck neck shop in the county a while ago, and she often brought duck necks to him to eat.
Yi Chuan likes to eat that duck neck very much, and laughs at her as a "duck neck Shih Tzu".
Every time Yi Chuan made such a joke, she would beat him, and sometimes she was angry and cried, so she lay on the table and said to Yi Chuan: "I won't bring it to you again." ”
Yi Chuan didn't comfort her at that time, but seemed to be happy, while cheekily gnawing on the duck neck, while reading a book, after a while, he said slowly: "Actually, this duck neck is very delicious, if you inherit your mother's duck neck shop, I will often buy it and eat it." ”
Every time she said angrily that she ignored him, but every time he said something like that, she forgave him again.
This time, I originally planned to find a suitable opportunity and tell him, if you want, I can actually make you a duck neck for a lifetime.
I don't want to be a duck neck for a lifetime, but I am willing to make a duck neck for you for a lifetime.
Or something else, as long as you like......
But she didn't dare to say it now.
The support of the down pillow is very good, slowly pressed down, moved the head, and slowly bounced up, very magical.
Even a hotel pillow is so magical, she thought.
Then, she turned over, looked at the ceiling, and said in a daze: "Chunjuan, I thought about it for a while, I still won't say it." ”
Bai Chunjuan stared at her for two or three seconds, then suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.
"Yikes! What to do, what to do......"
Du Lala's physique was not as strong as Bai Chunjuan's, and she was pulled up, and then half pulled and half pushed, and dragged into the corridor.
"Knock knock!"
Du Lala watched with a shocked look as Bai Chunjuan knocked on the door of Yi Chuan's room.
"You ......"
"Shh
"Click......"
The door was opened, and Yi Chuan opened the room door with a frown.
"Dry ......"
Before Yi Chuan's sentence "what are you doing" could be asked, he was pulled out by Bai Chunjuan.
"If you do it, let's do it later, Lala has something to tell you!" Bai Chunjuan said with a grin.
Yi Chuan glared at Bai Chunjuan speechlessly, this girl is too fierce and open-mouthed.
Before Du Lala could sort out her thoughts, she looked at Bai Chunjuan with a complaining look, and then heard Yi Chuan ask her, "What do you want to say?" ”
Durala was taken aback, turned her gaze a little unnaturally, coughed lightly, and said, "That...... I...... I ......"
"Huh?" Yi Chuan's face was calm.
"Let's go out for a walk."
Durala hesitated before whispering.
Yi Chuan thought for a while and nodded: "Okay." ”
Bai Chunjuan laughed, "That's right, have a good chat, have a good chat, tonight's Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold......"
Yi Chuan sneered: "You are not allowed to follow." ”
Bai Chunjuan shrugged her shoulders: "Okay, okay, don't disturb your two-person world." ”
Du Lala was afraid that Bai Chunjuan would continue to say some outrageous things, so she hurriedly stopped: "Chunjuan, you go back to the room to rest for a while." ”
Yi Chuan and Du Lara went downstairs and walked aimlessly down the street.
The city is bustling with traffic, with all sorts of rarely seen cars whizzing by, adding a sharp layer to the city's cold reinforced concrete shell amid the sound of a beepping whistle.
At first, neither of them spoke.
Looking ahead, Durala sighed a little, she thought, she doesn't belong here.
Then she asked, "Yi Chuan, do you think you belong here?" ”
Yi Chuan looked at her, and then nodded very firmly: "Well, I will definitely belong here in the future." ”
"Oh...... That's right. Durala was disappointed.
She really didn't have that many ideas.
Her home is in Qinghe County, she is familiar with everything there, and she feels that even if she lives there, she is very happy.
The two walked for a while, and when they came to the intersection, it was a traffic light, Yi Chuan stopped and said, "By the way, what do you want to say?" ”
Durala hesitated for a moment and laughed: "I...... I thought about it for a while, so let's wait until you finish the exam. ”
Yi Chuan's eyes were a little deep.
Du Lala was actually very puzzled, because such a deep look really shouldn't have appeared on a teenager who was a prospective high school student, but it seemed so reasonable to appear on Yi Chuan.
Such a look made him even more charming.
For a moment, she wanted to cry.
At this moment, she suddenly understood the meaning of learning, which is to allow a person to choose whether to follow in the footsteps of the person she likes.
Yi Chuan smiled: "If I can be admitted to the high school in Hanning City, I also have something to tell you." ”
Durala bit her lip and nodded slightly, then suddenly smiled and stretched out a little finger: "That...... Then let's pull the hook! ”
Yi Chuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly left a sentence: "Childish ......"
Turned around and walked away.
Du Lala looked at Yi Chuan's back, but he was not angry.
So cold, so ruthless...... But I like it so much.
She followed.
……
In the evening, Yi Yang took a few of them out to eat, and Jiang Lili also came over after work.
Went to a seafood restaurant.
Yi Yang doesn't come to seafood like this often, but this time he entertained his dearest brother and his two little girlfriends who were suspected of a love triangle, so he would naturally be a little arrogant.
Yi Yang ordered a large plate of small green dragons, and there were seven or eight of them.
None of the three of them had ever eaten such an expensive dish, especially the two girls, who were a little nervous, and only one of them took one, and waved their hands embarrassedly and said that it was enough.
Jiang Lili saw their thoughts, so he ordered a sea urchin for each of them, and a salt-and-pepper skin shrimp as thick as two small arms for one person, and distributed it directly to everyone, so that it would not be embarrassing to eat.
The two girls were sweet-mouthed, one praised Yi Yang's eldest brother for being handsome, Jiang Lili's sister was beautiful, and the two girls had innocent expressions without any modifications, which made Yi Yang and Jiang Lili happy.
Yi Yang has always been the character who makes others happy, and he is occasionally held by others, which is wonderful and wonderful.
The meal went in perfect harmony.
But Yi Yang noticed that Yi Chuan seemed to be a little absent-minded.
"Xiaochuan, what else do you want to eat?" Yi Yang said.
Yi Chuan was thinking about things, and he didn't notice Yi Yang's words, but he was lightly nodded by Du Lala next to him, and he reacted.
"Oh...... I, I'm done! ”
Yi Chuan said.
Yi Yang's eyes flickered slightly, smiled, and didn't say anything.
After dinner, Yi Yang called Jiang Lili aside and asked her to help send the two girls back first.
Jiang Lili drove the car, and after listening to Yi Yang's words, he understood that he had something to say to Yi Chuan, so he didn't ask in detail, so he nodded and helped him share the burden.
Yi Yang called Yi Chuan to the door and asked him, "The first exam is tomorrow afternoon, are you nervous?" ”
Yi Chuan nodded first, then thought about it, and shook his head again.
Yi Yang said, "Let's take a walk around here." ”
Yi Chuan glanced at his cousin and nodded.
This seafood restaurant is not located in the downtown area, and there are several high-end communities nearby, and the environment is quiet.
By this time it was already dark, and the street lights on both sides of the road stretched out into the distance, eventually merging into the city's neon nightscape.
The two walked on the road.
Yi Yang said, "Don't you have anything to ask me?" ”
Yi Chuan looked at his cousin, stopped talking several times, and finally just smiled: "Brother, you still have to rely on yourself to learn this matter in the end, it's too late to ask now." ”
Yi Yang looked into Yi Chuan's eyes, "Isn't there anything you want to ask about anything other than the exam?" ”
Yi Chuan was stunned, and for a moment he almost had the urge to cry.
In fact, he had a quarrel with his parents about the exam.
Originally, adolescent rebellion was a false proposition, and there was no rebellion caused by age.
The reason for rebellion is the reason for understanding and communication.
He had never rebelled before, but this time he said something to his father that he shouldn't have said.
He wanted to go to high school in Hanning City and wanted to follow his cousin's path, but he also knew that the conditions at home were actually not allowed.
High tuition fees!
Few of the top schools in Hanning have tuition fees of less than 30,000 yuan a year, not counting all kinds of tuition and miscellaneous fees, accommodation fees, food expenses and so on.
And their family's income, although it is good among peasant families, is only tens of thousands of yuan.
The idea of the previous point is that I hope my cousin can help me.
Before coming out for the exam, I mentioned this idea to my parents for a sentence or two, but my father and mother strongly opposed it.
"It's literally sucking your cousin's blood!"
All along, they would always strongly reject Yi Yang's kindness.
The last time Yi Yang bought Yi San the pickup truck, it made Yi San haunt him for a long time, although he praised everyone that this was bought by my nephew, but deep down, he always felt that this was a debt.
He felt that he was an elder, how could an elder reach out and ask for something from a junior?
In the quarrel, Yi Chuan's unintentional sentence: "You haven't received the car ...... from your cousin" deeply stabbed Yi San's heart.
In the end, this matter ended hastily under the persuasion of Zhao Jinhua.
Afterwards, Yi San thought about it all night, woke Yi Chuan up early the next morning, and said to him a little tiredly, "Try, you go to the test, but you are admitted, you can't ask your cousin for this tuition!" Our family still has some savings over the years, and I originally wanted to keep it for you to go to college and marry a daughter-in-law......"
"However, I discussed with your mother all night, and your mother was right, anyway, this money is always to be left to you, and it is good for you to go out and see the world as soon as possible."
Yi Chuan didn't cry when he quarreled the day before, and after listening to Yi San's words, he cried a lot.
He must make up his mind that he must be admitted to a good high school, and even more so to a good university in the future!
Hearing Yi Yang's words at this time, Yi Chuan felt a little aggrieved in his heart, and almost said what happened at home, but he hesitated for a moment and just said, "What about things other than exams...... I haven't thought much of it yet. ”
Yi Yang nodded: "Don't be pressured, if you can't pass this exam, you won't be able to pass it, with your results, we can think of other ways to get into some famous high schools." ”
Yi Chuan smiled: "What pressure can I have...... The only pressure now is that if I don't pass the exam, my classmate will have to confess to me. ”
Yi Yang teased: "So you know what people are thinking? ”
"Little girl, the little thing in my heart ......"
Yi Yang stared at Yi Chuan, smiled dumbly, raised his hand, and was about to beat him......
Yi Chuan's head shrank, and then he said with a smile: "Brother, I'm so old, you still want to beat me?" ”
Yi Yang just rubbed Yi Chuan's head.
Under the lamp, the shadow stretched longer.
Yi Yang shook his head and said, "It's okay if there's no pressure, let's go back." ”
Yi Chuan nodded.
When walking to the parking lot, Yi Chuan looked at the road in front of him, and suddenly said coldly: "Brother......"
"Huh?"
"Am I growing up?"
Yi Yang looked at Yi Chuan silently and nodded: "A little." ”
"Is it just a little bit......" Yi Chuan stretched his waist and pretended to be relaxed.
"Growing up is really ...... Annoyance. He looked up at the starry sky.
