Lily looked up at her brother, wondering, "Why can't I call Kele brother?"
Ikeno: "Why so many whys? What are your 110,000 whys?"
Lily was very persistent: "How much is 110,000? Why can't I call Coke brother Coke brother?"
Being annoyed by these brothers, Ikeno said, "Because of Coke---"
"You just said, you want to buy me a beer?" Jarvin Wen interrupted what Adrian Chi was about to say, thinking to himself, you're killing your sister's brother.
"That's right," Adrian Chi swallowed the word "spermicide" and nodded in response, "Pure draft Tuborg Snow Pineapple Beer, any of your choice, a more expensive one is fine, I'll sell my body to buy it for you."
Jarvin Wen picked up the hood of his black sweater with one hand and put it back on. He put his hands loosely in his pockets, revealing only a small part of his thin white wrists. "You don't have to sell yourself, just work hard."
Post office door.
After putting down the last big box, Adrian Chi's short boots just stepped on a withered yellow sycamore leaf. He stood up straight and said, "My friend, are you putting bricks or cement in there? Do you know why the courier didn't deliver it? Because if he delivers it to you, he will have to take sick leave due to lumbar muscle strain."
Jarvin Wen's gaze fell on Adrian Chi's waist.
Adrian Chi took a half step back, alert, "My waist is fine, don't worry."
Withdrawing his gaze, Jarvin Wen said calmly, "We are even now."
The sun was completely blocked by clouds, and the sky was getting dark. Adrian Chi smiled and said, "Okay, let's get married. We'll see each other again if we're lucky." After that, he waved to his sister, "Ya Ya, say hello."
Lily was holding a wild flower that she had picked from somewhere. The flower was as big as a fingernail. She had fringe hair and clear eyes. She said, "Goodbye, Brother Kele. I'm going home with my brother."
Jarvin Wen spoke to the little girl in a slow and steady voice, "Well, next time you run, remember to look at the road."
Lily was dragged by Adrian Chi for a short distance, then she broke away from her brother's hand, turned around and ran to Jarvin Wen, handed him the wild flowers in her hand, and said, "Thank you, brother Kele."
After Jarvin Wen took it, he quickly ran back to Adrian Chi.
Holding his sister's paw again, Adrian Chi asked her, "You're still sending flowers? Tell me, do you think she's pretty?"
Lily frowned, "Superficial!"
"Yo, did you learn a new word to spit at your brother?"
Lily looked back, still worried, "There are so many things, can Brother Kele move them back home?"
Ikeno was also worried, thinking that her sister really didn't seem very smart, while she herself was very smart when she was a child. They were born of the same mother, so why was there such a big difference?
He said earnestly, "My lovely little fool, there are so many broken tricycles on the street, they are not for exhibition. Also, can you please pay attention to your brother who is seriously injured and has not recovered yet? He was chased for so many laps, and the wound on his waist is about to split, it hurts me so much."
It was not until the next afternoon that Jarvin Wen finished unpacking the luggage. There were few sundries, mostly books. Grandma had cleaned out the study room in advance and ordered a new bookshelf, but there were still many obscure professional books that could not be put in, so they were stuffed in boxes and piled in the corners.
Jianwen Xiao was standing in front of the bookshelf in a trance. Grandma stood at the door for a long time, and finally broke the silence by saying, "Your father and mother's books combined have more than an old lady like me. Are you tired of cleaning them up?"
Jarvin Wen came back to his senses, "I'm not tired, grandma, why don't you take a little more nap?"
"I'm old and can't fall asleep even if I lie in bed. I'm not like you young people who can sleep until dawn with your eyes closed." Grandma waved to Jarvin Wen to come out of the study. "There's no green vegetables at home. Go downstairs and buy some. Grandma will fry them for you in the evening. Take a walk around the neighborhood and get to know the way."
The place to buy groceries is very close, only a few steps away. Jarvin Wen did not go back immediately after buying, but picked a direction and walked aimlessly along the street.
Just like grandma said, he needs to get familiar with the roads around here. He will live here for a long time in the future.
Although the buildings in the old streets are old, they have everything from food and clothing. After passing by an electrical appliance repair shop with a lot of old electrical appliances piled up at the door, a barber shop where haircuts only cost ten yuan, and a tailor shop that repairs shoes and bicycle tires part-time, Jarvin Wen found that he had unknowingly walked to the door of the hardware store again.
The store was tidy and spacious, with a pot of half-human-high green plants in the corner. Adrian Chi was with his back to the door, helping Lily with her homework.
"What's the synonym of clear water?" Ikeno bit a white lollipop stick, wearing a black sweater with a low collar, revealing the superior neckline. His two long legs were crossed as if they had nowhere to go, and his sitting posture was very arrogant. I guess he didn't sleep in the right position the night before, and the hair on the back of his head was flat.
Lily held a pencil with a pink Barbie doll printed on it, "The synonym is clean water."
Adrian Chi was tossing a coin in his hand out of boredom, and said in a slow voice, "Two words."
Lily answered tentatively: "Dry water?"
Holding the brass-colored 50-cent coin in his hand, Adrian Chi raised an eyebrow and said, "Lily-san, do you think your answer is correct?"
"It seems... not right?" Lily changed her clothes into a light pink down jacket with white fur around the collar and brim, and a pair of rabbit ears drooping at the tip of the hat. The bangs didn't match the style, ruining the overall effect.
She bit her pencil. "But, brother, you boiled the water dry again this morning, and the pot broke. We have to buy new pots again. We have bought a lot of pots this year." She counted on her fingers, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, brother, you broke six pots."
Ikeno: "I remember this clearly. When your brother burns more than two dozen pots, remind him again, ok?"
Lily raised three fingers of her left hand and pinched a circle with her thumb and index finger, "OK!"
Jarvin Wen opened the refrigerator, stopped in front of the Coca-Cola, paused, moved 20 degrees, and took the lemon-flavored Sprite in the green package next to it. He tapped the bottom of the aluminum can on the glass counter, "Check out."
Adrian Chi turned around and saw Jarvin Wen, so he stood up and walked over, "Two bottles for six dollars."
Jarvin Wen didn't have change, so he handed over a ten-dollar bill.
Remembering the three-dollar debt, Adrian Chi counted the money and put seven dollars on the table, "The extra money is for you to buy candy."
Jarvin Wen glanced at him, took out a dollar bill from his bag, and pushed it back along with Adrian Chi's seven dollars, "I'll buy you a Coke, don't give me the extra change."
After saying that, Jarvin Wen took two bottles of Sprite and left.
Adrian Chi looked at the few coins in front of him and said, "Tsk, they are quite prickly."
Early Monday morning, just before the bell rang, there was another commotion at the school gate - of course, the head teacher, Marcus Cheng, was the one chasing the chickens and dogs away.
"Do you think that if you run fast enough, I won't be able to see your face? Not to mention your back, even if I rely on a handful of your hair burnt into ash, I can still recognize you and deduct your civilized conduct points!" The voice of the dean echoed inside and outside the school gate, "Can't you learn from Adrian Chi, who took small steps slowly even when he was late---Adrian Chi?"
Ikeno stepped into the school gate and corrected, "Teacher, look, I really don't take small steps." As he said this, he took a step to demonstrate.
The dean blinked hard, thinking that he was hallucinating. After blinking, he found that Adrian Chi was still standing there, and his voice suddenly rose, "You finally knew to come to school? You, you---"
The zipper of his school uniform was unzipped, his black overalls were baggy, he was standing with his hands in his pockets, his schoolbag was hanging on one shoulder and he looked lifeless. Marcus Cheng felt that he was about to faint from anger. There were so many things to say but he didn't know where to start!
Ikeno stood still, "Teacher, if you don't have anything to say, I'm going to class. Time is a bit tight."
"Now you know you're in a hurry. How could you not be in a hurry two minutes earlier?" The dean thought of those students just now, and vaguely felt that they were all such lovely flowers of the motherland. Then he looked at Ikeno in front of him, "Why did you skip class? Why were you late? I don't want to hear any excuses!"
Ikeno: "Okay, I haven't come up with anything original yet."
The dean pinched his fingers and told himself repeatedly not to be angry. Life is like a play. We are together because of destiny. Getting angry because of Adrian Chi is pointless when you think about it!
Why!!
Seeing Marcus Cheng didn't say anything, Adrian Chi raised his foot and prepared to continue walking in. Just after taking two steps, he heard Marcus Cheng said with great sorrow and regret, "Adrian Chi, think about your high school entrance examination, you got the first place in the city, how did you fall to this point?"
The casual smile on Adrian Chi's face faded, and there was a hint of dark sharpness in his eyes. When he turned around, he returned to his usual appearance. He pulled the strap of his black schoolbag, and there was a bit of ruffian in the smile on the corner of his mouth. "Teacher, you used to say that a good man does not talk about his past achievements, and a wise man does not think about his past achievements. Am I not practicing it myself and integrating knowledge and action?"
After passing the school motto monument and the statue of Confucius, he turned right and entered the second teaching building. Adrian Chi walked up the stairs. After two steps, he met the head teacher Samuel Xu.
He greeted, "Good morning, Oliver Lao!"
Samuel Xu was holding a bag of steamed dumplings and a cup of soy milk. As a teacher, he was embarrassed to eat the dumplings in front of his students, so he stopped and asked, "You kid, can you finally find the way to school today?"
"That's right. The road outside our school is too winding and it's easy to get lost."
"You were lost for two weeks? Did you take a trip to the solar system?" Samuel Xu put his hands behind his back and pretended to be angry. "You just ran into the dean at the school gate? I saw you from afar, but you ran away quickly. The next time the dean sees me, he will complain to me that he lost a few more hairs because of you."
Adrian Chi was making a dirty move, "Next time the dean comes to see you, just tell him to give me your hair so we can count how many hairs have fallen out! I promise he won't come to you crying next time."
Samuel Xu wanted to laugh, but he coughed twice to hold it back. "Your mind is working pretty fast. By the way, the teacher thinks it's too lonely for you to study alone, so he arranged a deskmate for you."
Thinking of Jarvin Wen's thin and gentle appearance, Samuel Xu couldn't help but read, "I'll stop here first, Adrian Chi, your new deskmate just transferred here. He had excellent grades in his previous school and is very gentle. His health is not very good. Don't provoke him all the time. Be more restrained!"
Adrian Chi put his heels together and raised his hand lazily to salute, "I understand, my deskmate is so weak, I will restrain myself! Even my breathing will be as light as possible!"
Samuel Xu had been the homeroom teacher since the beginning of the freshman year, so he knew Adrian Chi better and knew that he knew his limits. "Okay, okay, stop talking to me. Hurry up, the bell is about to ring, hurry up and get to the classroom for class!"
Ikeno usually went through the back door to enter the classroom. As soon as he stepped in, he heard someone reciting loudly and passionately, "Mountains are high and rivers are deep, and there seems to be no way out. There is no to after make!"
The lingering sound of these words made Adrian Chi almost stumble.
Liam Zhao has good eyesight and was the first to see Adrian Chi come in. "What kind of wind is blowing today that actually blew you, Brother Chi, to school!"
"It must be a tornado that can blow me over here." Adrian Chi held his schoolbag, didn't rush to sit down, raised his chin, "My new deskmate?"
I don’t know if his new deskmate went out and jumped around all night the night before. There was such a lot of noise during the morning reading in the whole classroom, but he was actually sleeping on his stomach and didn’t wake up.
"You know?" Liam Zhao got along well with Jarvin Wen this week. He felt that this new classmate was a little cold and didn't like to talk much, but there was nothing wrong with him. Seeing Adrian Chi coming, he remembered, "Brother Chi, your new deskmate has already taken a diligent study attitude and worked very hard. He stayed up late last night to do homework and seemed to go to bed at three or four in the morning. You sleep in class every day, so don't snore and disturb others."
Why does everyone think that they will influence their deskmate?
Adrian Chi laughed and scolded, "Get lost, who the hell snores when sleeping? Next time, record it for me to listen to? Master, you have to provide evidence when you speak."
Liam Zhao smiled and said, "I am just exaggerating!"
Adrian Chi looked at his deskmate again and found that his hand on the table was quite nice, with a slender hand, thin wrist, white skin, and visible veins underneath. But the color of his nails was quite light, and he looked a little fragile.
Just as I was about to put my schoolbag down, I didn't know if it was because my biological clock "clicked", but I suddenly moved, and the fingers on the table curled up.
Ikeno was about to say hello in a friendly manner, but as soon as his new deskmate showed his face, the greeting was gone.
There was weariness between Jarvin Wen's brows, his glasses were casually thrown aside and not worn, revealing a pair of eyes without any obstruction. He had double eyelids, long eyes, and a small mole under the corners of his eyes. His eyes looked cold and sharp, and a little confused as if he had just woken up.
He picked up a can of lemon-flavored Sprite, opened the can with one hand, and with a "pop", white smoke escaped from the mouth of the can.
After taking a sip to wake himself up, Jarvin Wen looked at Adrian Chi, his voice was tinged with a hint of coolness and pure doubt, "Why are you here?"
Adrian Chi found that he had a strong connection with this creditor. He smiled and said, "I would like to ask this question as well."
Schoolbag and school uniform, plus the empty desk next to him that no one has claimed for eight hundred years, Jarvin Wen: "Oh, you are my deskmate."
Adrian Chi put down his schoolbag. Hearing the indifferent tone, he felt a little unhappy. "I thought the answer should be obvious."
Jarvin Wen didn't respond, but put his glasses back on, "Hello."
Ikeno: I’m in a bad mood.
Besides, are you blind? Sitting at the same table with this guy, who the hell is influencing whom?
