The light and shadow gradually slanted to the west.

The last piece of ice that he had forgotten to swallow for a long time in his mouth melted, turning into a cold and silky sweetness, which spread on the tip of Shang Mingbao's tongue.

She closed her student ID card and sat in silence with her head bowed, embarrassment and grievance alternately rising up her throat and swallowing it back again. In the end she just asked, "Why lie to me?" ”

This man deliberately deceived her for so long. In vain, how convinced she was that he was just well-maintained, and his uncle was diligent.

Xiang Feiran threw his schoolbag to the floor and half-crouched down in front of her. Because of the height difference, his eyes hung slightly, and his words were tinged with helplessness: "I told you not to call me uncle." ”

He was too close, his facial features were magnified, his eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, and Adam's apple were all undoubtedly belonging to young people, with the untamed and ruthless nature of young men.

"How is this calculated?" Shang Mingbao unconsciously wrinkled his nose, and there was a drum in his chest like thunder: "And the first time I called your uncle good, you didn't correct it." ”

Xiang Feiran raised his eyebrows: "Do you want me to tell you at that time, call me brother?"

"I'm not familiar with you, so I'm presumptuous."

is obviously a sneak change of concept, but there is a careless calmness in his expression, which makes people can't help but start to reflect on whether it is his own fault.

A slender hand appeared in front of him.

Xiang Feiran's palm was spread upwards: "Verify the right body, it's time to return me?" Or do you want to keep it, check if it is a fake testimony? ”

Shang Mingbao woke up like a dream, took his student ID back like a hot potato, and complained: "You can also tell me last night." ”

"The moon was bright last night, and I thought you could see it clearly, so there would be no such misunderstanding."

What? What is the rationale for this?

Shang Mingbao hesitated: "It's a little suspicious...... But what if you're gifted and well-maintained? ”

Xiang Feiran flattened the corners of his lips: "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

Shang Mingbao unconsciously clenched his ankle with one hand, and added a hint of anger to his tone: "I obviously have a chance to say it in the morning." ”

Fang Suining listened to the corner of the wall behind the sofa for a long time, from anxiety to schadenfreude to deep confusion, and now it is still messy. Her doggy brother, her dear best friend! How many times have you seen each other secretly?! How could she not know anything?!

Xiang Feiran didn't hide his laziness at all: "What I want to say, I'm too sleepy."

Shang Mingbao was silent.

"Really."

Shang Mingbao remained silent.

"I swear."

"How do you swear?"

"If I lie, all my journals will be warned."

Fang Suining's pupils shook again. Yes??? Such a poisonous oath that your kid won't die?

Shang Mingbao: "I don't understand. ”

"I'm a dog."

There is no pleasure in pretending to be a middle-aged person in front of a little girl, and at first I didn't say it, I was too lazy to say it, and I was sure that the two would not have a second intersection. I didn't say it on the second side, but I was too lazy to say it, and I was sure that the two would not have a third side intersection. The third side is not to talk about......

All in all, he didn't expect that under his conscious evasion, they would be able to see the fourth and fifth sides endlessly.

Not only is it endless, but he also enters the room and eats longan ice in his herbarium.

This kind of indiscriminate thing, Xiang Feiran knew with his toes that it was Fang Suining who took the lead. When he finished explaining, he swept around silently, fixed behind the sofa, and then took it back without a trace.

"Who brought you here?"

The home and away on the field rotated, and he began to interrogate, like a cat teasing a mouse, calm and relaxed.

Fang Suining, who was hiding behind the sofa, shuddered fiercely in his heart......

Shang Mingbao is very righteous, although his heart is weak, but he sees death as if he were at home in his determination: "I came by myself." ”

"Keys?"

"Your door is unlocked." Shang Mingbao quibbled.

"Then why was it locked when I came in just now?"

"Hmm......" Shang Mingbao hummed seriously for a while, "Aunt Lan thought I was out, so she locked it up." Aunt Lan respects you very much. ”

Fang Suining, who was fighting on the sidelines, grabbed the ground with his head.

Xiang Feiran reluctantly flattened the corners of his lips, as if he had suddenly realized, and nodded: "So, you are here alone, drinking two bowls of ice?" ”

There was a bowl left on the coffee table, and a bowl was turned over on the ground, and the ice water was half-dried by the air conditioner, leaving transparent water stains, which looked a little messy.

Shang Mingbao was in a hurry: "The other, another bowl is reserved for you." ”

Xiang Feiran had a smile on his face: "Since it was given to me, who stole it?" ”

After a pause, he looked at Shang Mingbao's crimson face: "You? ”

It turns out that it's so hard to make up lies.

Shang Mingbao only felt that the heat was surging all over his body, and he tried his best not to let his expression collapse: "Yes, yes, can't it......"

Fang Suining felt that he was hopeless. Between being pulled out by Xiang Feiran and surrendering, it is obvious that the latter's fate will be slightly lighter. She took a deep breath and was about to climb out to lay down the law, but she heard Xiang Feiran say, "Okay, then you owe me a bowl." ”

Fang Suining was stunned for a moment, and his gaze drifted out uncontrollably. The light gold light and shadow filled the room, and Xiang Feiran's face hung slightly, and his expression was blurred in the backlight.

The cicadas chirped and sneered, Fang Suining didn't dry up in a cold sweat, turned over and sat back, his eyes widened. What? Fooled around? Her eight-hundred-hearted cousin?

Xiang Feiran didn't say anything more, stood up, and half-hugged the pot of emerald green fern in his arms: "Next time, you are not allowed to eat here." ”

"Oh......" Shang Mingbao replied in a low voice, thinking to himself, who wants to have a next time? Don't. Unless you invite me. Please I won't come.

Her legs, which had been sitting on her knees for a long time, had already stiffened, and as soon as she moved, she only felt a burst of soreness like electricity, and a small muffled snort escaped from her nasal cavity.

Xiang Feiran ignored it, just staring intently at the pot of ferns, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

The phone shook, and it was Fang Suining who asked her to find an excuse to move the tiger away from the mountain.

Shang Mingbao: [How to adjust? 】

Fang Suining: [Ask him! 】

Shang Mingbao: [Me? 】

Fang Suining was silent, saying that the matter had been decided, and he would not discuss it again.

Although it is outrageous, Shang Mingbao consciously wants to stick a knife in his friend's ribs. She snapped: "That ......"

Fang Suining's remote support: [What that! It's Brother Feiran! 】

After Xiang Feiran heard her extremely difficult "Brother Feiran", he turned his face and looked back: "What's the matter?" ”

Shang Mingbao closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Are you free?" I'd like to go out for a walk with you. ”

Xiang Feiran just took a sip of the silver stainless steel water cup, and was choked coldly.

Obviously, this is a bad move by Fang Suining to divert the tiger from the mountain. He turned around, leaned his slender body against the workbench, and asked quietly, "Now?" ”

Shang Mingbao hurriedly nodded: "Now." ”

"Why don't you let Fang Suining accompany you?" He asked knowingly, the silver glass of water against his face, and there was a sense of wise and cold abstinence.

Shang Mingbao: "......"

Xiang Feiran raised his eyebrows: "She's inconvenient?" ”

Shang Mingbao racked his brains: "She is not feeling well in the afternoon and is sleeping." ”

What a bad excuse, but she tried.

Xiang Feiran took another sip of water, as if unmoved.

Shang Mingbao didn't know how to ask for help, so he had to soften his tone: "If you really don't have time......

I don't know if this trick worked by retreating, or if Xiang Feiran was merciful and decided to let his cousin go, all in all, he finally put down the cup and stood up straight: "If you are free, where do you want to go?" ”

This is the only one in a radius of more than ten kilometers here, and there are more free-range chickens than people, and it is inaccessible to which way to go out. Shang Mingbao didn't know the southeast and northwest, he just walked around with his head bored, and it looked like going to the execution ground.

She is usually very bright and lively, and she doesn't know how she became a little mute in front of him.

Still Xiang Feiran stopped her, raised his wrist and glanced at the time: "If you want to help Fang Suining break away from me, it is enough now." ”

Shang Mingbao suddenly felt at a loss for what happened in the east window: "You, you know? ”

"What, you think you two are smart?"

was suddenly exposed, Shang Mingbao was also a little embarrassed for a while, and his face burned warm. If you face your brother, it's too much to roll around, but this is someone else's brother.

The face of the girl, who had not been successfully colored by the sun, was colored by her own shame.

Xiang Feiran looked away and put his hands into his sweatpants pockets: "I don't blame you." He raised his chin to the side again: "Okay, go back." ”

"Huh? It's only been a few minutes since I walked. Shang Mingbao said very subconsciously.

Xiang Feiran's eyebrows furrowed, and there was a hesitant half-smile on his face: "What, you really want to go with me?" ”

It's nothing to take a break with a little girl who has left her hometown, but he has had too many things to do this week, piled up a lot of literature that he hasn't read, and he's very sleepy - four hours back and forth on the road, and he has to fight wits and courage with his mentor, which is really nerve-wracking.

"Another day." He thought for a moment, and his tone was quite serious, "I have to sleep now." ”

He said this kind of thing in this tone with this face, which was a kind of perfunctory and foul behavior. Shang Mingbao thought to himself, he is very good at perfunctory girls.

-

Fang Suining was fortunate to have escaped the catastrophe, and before he was happy for five minutes, he was told that Xiang Feiran had already seen through everything. When he wanted to confess his guilt, he was pulled by Shang Mingbao: "Don't go, he's sleeping now." ”

Fang Suining: "You know this?" ”

"He said it himself, saying that he wanted to catch up on sleep, so he didn't go with me."

Fang Suining was even more suspicious: "He even reported this to you?" ”

Shang Mingbao couldn't stand her wording: "What kind of report, it was obviously said to drive me away." ”

"What did he say?"

Shang Mingbao didn't change a word: "Let's say another day, he has to sleep now." ”

Fang Suining: "He wants to ask you." ”

Shang Mingbao's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively denied: "No." ”

"No, you don't know him," Fang Suining explained firmly: "Since he said another day, he will definitely do it." Without waiting for Shang Mingbao to react, she hugged her: "When he asks you out, you will refuse fiercely!" ”

Shang Mingbao: "......"

-

At dinner at six o'clock, a certain person who had not seen the end of the dragon in the past few days was finally willing to appear.

Some people have a strong sense of survival, and although they don't speak, everyone welcomes him, and the breath invades this space vividly.

Xiang Lianqiao said with concern: "Didn't you say that you won't come to eat before the specimen is pressed?" ”

Of course, it was an excuse to avoid encountering Shang Mingbao before, but now that the oolong has been solved, there is no need to hide. Xiang Feiran pulled away the dining chair with one hand and replied calmly: "I'm hungry." ”

The girl sitting across the round table never spoke, his eyes swept over, his knuckles stretched out in front of Fang Suining's eyes, and he knocked on the table: "Isn't it cold to wear a skirt at night?" ”

There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, and people wear short sleeves during the day, but they are prone to freezing and catching colds at night.

Fang Suining didn't eat his cousin's concern about the sunrise in the West Mountain, and replied iron-cladly: "No, who is as empty as you." ”

Xiang Feiran didn't bother to argue with her about this topic, picked up his exclusive stainless steel mug, took a sip, and asked as if by the way: "What about the guests?" ”

The window behind Shang Mingbao was open, and the wind at dusk crossed the mountain stream and poured in with the coolness of the valley floor. She wanted to be polite and let the workers not bother, but Xiang Feiran seemed to have seen through her, and instructed Aunt Lan: "Get a blanket for the little guest." ”

"Oh...... Small ~ guest ~ person. Fang Suining squeezed his eyebrows and parroted.

Xiang Lianqiao laughed: "What, it's been three days, and I don't know what it's called?" ”

Fang Suining was about to file a complaint when he was glanced at by Xiang Feiran's eyes. When she died down, Xiang Feiran took over the words herself: "I saw it the day I came back, and I sat in the same car." ”

It was the first time that Xiang Lianqiao knew that the driver didn't feel the need to report such a trivial matter to him.

Xiang Feiran pressed the turntable with two fingers, and naturally turned the first bowl of clear soup made by the housekeeper to Shang Mingbao's eyes, and then asked, "Your surname is Shang, what is your name?" I forgot. ”

Fang Suining frowned, thinking to himself, you are a perverted ...... who can write thousands of Latin scientific names silently?

"Mingbao, bright Ming, treasure ......" Shang Mingbao swallowed the word "baby" that rushed to the tip of his tongue and changed it to: "The treasure of treasures." ”

Xiang Feiran nodded, his eyes raised slightly, cold and indifferent like the wind blowing across the hills.

"Shang Mingbao, welcome to your guest."

Shang Mingbao was called by his name for the first time. Hong Kong people, there are always more English names, babe is long and babe is short, occasionally called their real names, and it is also just the word Mingbao, which is close and intimate. Suddenly, she was called "Shang Mingbao" by all the beards and tails, and she felt strangely stunned, and she had a sense of seriousness that she was named by the teacher.

Because of Xiang Feiran's appearance, the pace of this dinner was much slower, not only Fang Suining was chattering, but even Xiang Lianqiao was a lot of fun, and he also asked the assistant to make a pot of shengpu, which seemed to be very interesting.

Fang Suining listened to the news every day, and it became a habit to discuss the international situation with Xiang Lianqiao during dinner. He didn't seem to be interested in these things, and he had no need to make a high statement, just holding his water cup and drinking a bag of oolong tea, his expression slightly distracted.

It wasn't until he asked Lianqiao about his academic progress that he picked up an important reply or two.

Fang Suining bit his ears with Shang Mingbao: "He is very boring, every day he either goes out into the field, or does experiments, or he reads literature, and he can't finish reading literature." ”

She basically talked about the normality of Xiang Feiran's life. Although biology is a sinkhole major, undergraduates are not so hard, and they can still eat, shop, fall in love and play games. The problem is that Xiang Feiran is not an ordinary undergraduate. It is not uncommon for freshmen to be named into the research group by academicians and bigwigs since the establishment of the school, and Xiang Feiran is the third.

Professor Zhou Yingshu told him on the first day that plant taxonomy is a relatively unpopular ancient subject, and most biology students will go in the direction of molecular biology when they want to further their studies, and taxonomy and evolution are very lonely fields. The implication is that you can not take this olive branch.

But Xiang Feiran took it, in the words of his fellow brothers and sisters, it was "a beautiful woman, why did she give up on herself"? Later, when I learned that he rejected Qingbei in his first year of high school, I felt that he was not a normal person.

Living in the mountains, laboratories and herbariums all day long, Xiang Feiran didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but when Fang Suining summed it up, it seemed that it did sound a little boring.

He seldom spoke, and said for the first time: "Botany has the meaning of botany. ”

Fang Suining was ghostly: "What's the point, we don't have a chance to know anyway, and you don't take us." ”

Xiang Feiran put his hands around his chest, leaned back on the back of the chair slightly, and looked at Fang Suining: "Simple, beg me." ”

Fang Suining cried angrily: "Grandpa, look at him!" ”

Xiang Lianqiao is accustomed to the quarrels between them: "I have already opened my mouth, but my old face is not enough face, and it is useless to beg." Why don't you try it together while he's here? Combined, you weigh more than an old man of mine. ”

Fang Suining immediately clasped his hands together and spit out two hard words: "Please!" ”

Xiang Feiran smiled and became a little more serious: "Don't take it seriously, I'm really not free." ”

Professor Zhou talked every day about maintaining the coherence of scientific research, and he committed a capital crime after a month in the laboratory. In order to spur him, Zhou Yingshu personally sent him a compressed literature package of several hundred G, which he wanted to review after reading, and he was the first to report at the group meeting after the start of school. In this case, he still has to rehearse and reside, and even sleeping is a problem.

Fang Suining saw that he didn't take the bait, and immediately pulled Shang Mingbao into the water: "Little guest!" The little guest hasn't asked for it yet! You don't sell the face of the little guest like a fairy? ”

Don't be too oily and salty to die!

Shang Mingbao was pulled to the front line, his heart pounded, and he subconsciously brewed his words, when he heard the sound of a chair scraping against the terrazzo floor.

She raised her eyes and saw that Xiang Feiran had already stood up.

He didn't seem to be interested in what she would beg, and he didn't want to spend two more seconds listening, he just wanted to get up and go first. Before leaving, his eyes lowered and looked for her across the round table, and his knuckles tapped lightly on the table: "Shang Mingbao, don't listen to Fang Suining's coaxing." ”

It's all the same, but he even has a name and a surname, and she has no strength to fight back.
