In the boxing gym, two boys lay panting on the ring. He Tianran was very busy during this period and was a little slack in boxing practice. Although he continued to practice in the morning, he was exhausted after boxing for nearly ten minutes.
Xue Yong stood up, picked up the mineral water on the side and poured it on his head, then threw a bottle to He Tianran.
The latter unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank half of the bottle, then suddenly asked:
"Hey, brother Xiaoyong, have you ever thought about what you plan to do in the future if you don't take the police academy exam?"
Xue Yong glanced at him and said, "Why do you ask this?"
"I just didn't expect you to be a policeman. Originally, I thought you would go home and inherit the family business." He Tianran shrugged. He knew that Xue Yong's family background was also good, and his father's generation made a fortune from sea goods.
"Hey, what kind of family business do you want to inherit? The port city is close to the sea. Now the competition is so fierce. The little money my dad earns is not enough to defeat me..."
Xue Yong still doesn't know the background of He Tianran's family. Cao Aiqing and Bai Tingting, who know the truth, have already said hello, and they will not mention this matter to anyone.
The school bully pondered for a moment, then gave the answer and continued: "If I wasn't a policeman, I would probably be a street kid."
"What?"
He Tianran thought he heard wrongly.
Xue Yong said proudly: "I couldn't wake up in the morning and couldn't sleep at night. I handed someone a Chinese cigarette and had diarrhea for another day."
"That's a good relationship!" He Tianran's mind flashed and he quickly responded, "Then I'll be the gate manager."
"Huh? Didn't you ask for advice?"
"Blow water, slap farts, talk nonsense, and walk around freely."
The two clasped their fists at the same time and paid each other the highest respect.
"Start it, start it."
"Let's walk together, Tie Zhi."
After saying that, the two laughed.
"Forget it, you should still be your director. If you become famous in the future, when people call you "Director He Da", your face will be bright. What's more, if you are asked to go out for a drink in the future, you may be able to invite a few little stars to come. It’s nice to think about it as a companion.”
"Isn't that right~ Sir, is fishing law enforcement so obvious?!"
The two laughed again.
"Would you like to follow me to Chaoxia Road for vigil on New Year's Day?" After laughing, He Tianran got to the point.
Xue Yong rolled his eyes: "Are you stupid? It's a crowded place, and two grown men are keeping watch all night."
He Tianran felt goosebumps all over his body, and he said: "Of course it won't be the two of us. I also called Cao Aiqing and Bai Tingting."
Hearing this, Xue Yongke became interested.
"What's going on, Director He, are you planning to take action again? What kind of script is this time? You've been tortured before, so it should be sweet, right?"
"ah?"
Xue Yong pointed out, "Pretending to be confused, you are just pretending to be confused here again, right?"
"..." He Tianran reacted and made up an excuse: "I don't have many friends, I just have a few of you. Who should I call you if I don't call you?"
"Come on, you are a drunkard who is not interested in drinking. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart, do you understand? I think you want to take this opportunity to express your love to Cao Aiqing!"
Xue Yong looked like he had seen through Director He's script.
He Tianran thought to himself where this was going, and the purpose was completely reversed. He looked innocent.
"No, I really have no intention of falling in love right now."
"Then why did you go to so much trouble to ruin Xia Qiao's reputation?" Xue Yong retorted confidently.
"Can't I be a loyal person? And I didn't do this alone. Aren't you all busy too? You don't want to see your friends suffer. It's all based on your good intentions."
"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. Tell me, what do you want my brother to do this time?" Xue Yong waved his hands, not wanting to listen to these empty words anymore.
When He Tianran thought about it, he didn't want to explain much, so he just followed the flow and said:
"Help me hold Bai Tingting down. It's best that you two don't appear in my sight. Go and do what you have to do."
Xue Yong's eyes lit up:
"Oh, you're not pretending anymore, are you? It's a showdown right now, isn't it?"
He Tianran said angrily:
"You just have to say whether you want to do it or not."
Xue Yong said righteously:
"Fuck it, I have to witness this kind of moment."
Hey, this thing is causing a lot of trouble, and I don’t know who is the real one.
He Tianran muttered secretly.
…
…
The school has a three-day holiday on New Year's Day, but that is a benefit only for the first and second grade students. Their senior years only have one day off on January 1st, and they have to go back to school for the next two days. No, it should be the United States. It's called "make-up lessons".
After school that day, the school very humanely canceled today's evening self-study. After all, in the new year, people should go home with peace of mind and have a good meal with their families.
However, this is indeed dispensable for He Tianran. He Panshan has completely cut off food for him since last month, trying to force him to surrender and obey. Lao He, whether at the company or at home, He was the one who spoke out loudly, and his clear attitude this time also made Xiao He feel a lot of pressure.
But since you have chosen to go your own way, you might as well go a little further. Moreover, given the current situation, He Tianran believes that he can still hold on for a while.
The hot oil in the wok was sizzling, and the boy poured the diced chicken into the wok and stir-fried. Soon after, a homemade version of Kung Pao Chicken gradually took shape.
Home cooking (intermediate level) is a skill that he has only developed in the past two months. There is no other way. "Saving money" is the first priority in everything. Moreover, he does not have to study at night recently, which leaves enough room for him to improve his cooking skills. space.
The boy is really proving that he can live freely on his own. If he couldn't survive before, at least he would have a father to help him, but that's not possible now.
After plating the dishes and placing them on the dining table, the doorbell rang at the right time. He Tianran opened the door. Outside, Xue Yong grinned, followed by Cao Aiqing and Bai Tingting.
"It's just the right time, come in."
He Tianran gave up a position and several people filed in. The New Year's Eve was in the early morning, so the vigil would be longer. There was still some time before now. As friends, they also knew that He Tianran lived alone now, so Cao Aiqing suggested , come over to have dinner with He Tianran tonight.
Cao Aiqing looked at the decoration of He Tianran's home curiously. Bai Tingting sniffed and smelled the aroma of vegetable rice. Seeing that a combination of three meat dishes, one vegetable and one soup was already placed on the table, she was surprised and said:
"Wow, He Tianran, can you still cook?"
"I don't want to either. Everything is for survival. You sit down first and I will get you the dishes and chopsticks."
He Tianran complained to himself, turned around and entered the kitchen, and Cao Aiqing followed after a moment. She was holding a large plastic bag in both hands and said with a sheepish expression:
"We bought some ingredients when we came here. We originally wanted to wait until us girls arrived before we started cooking, but I didn't expect you to move very quickly... If you had told me earlier, I would have come over earlier to help you..."
He Tianran could imagine how much ideological work Cao Aiqing, a good girl, had done for her parents for this New Year's Eve vigil before she had the chance to escape. He waved his hand, took the plastic bag and opened it.
"Hey, these things are enough for me to eat for a week. You didn't come here in vain this time, and I didn't work in vain."
Cao Aiqing smiled brightly and followed him as he put the ingredients into the refrigerator one by one.
The palms of the two people rubbed against the plastic bag again and again, making a "swishing" sound. The sound of TV came from the living room, and He Tianran seemed to hear Cao Aiqing's slight breathing in his ears. Today she wore a white down jacket, and after entering the door, she also Before she had time to take it off, her fair neck looked even longer under the plush hood.
The boy withdrew his gaze, but unexpectedly, the two people's hands in the plastic bag touched inadvertently. Then, both of them quickly picked up their own things and stuffed them into the refrigerator without knowing it.
It would have been better if I hadn't confessed at the beginning.
This thought came to He Tianran's mind for the first time, not that he felt regretful or anything.
As he said, he really has no intention of falling in love right now.
It's just that if you continue to be friends after confessing your love, it's fine in a public place. But now in a private space like home, it's very...awkward for the two of them to be alone.
In fact, this has nothing to do with confession. Even if it were anyone of the opposite sex that I had a crush on now, it would feel unnatural.
Cao Aiqing also felt this subtlety. She subconsciously smoothed her hair, but her short hair was already hung neatly behind her ears. In an instant, she became unnatural.
In his trouser pocket, his cell phone vibrated, temporarily pulling He Tianran away from this weird atmosphere.
He took out his cell phone and saw that it was from Xue Yong in the living room.
"You can just hang out in the kitchen for a while. Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on Bai Tingting for you."
The boy had a dark look on his face, and seeing Cao Aiqing's cautious face in front of him, he covered his mouth with his hands and asked in a low voice:
"Of course, do you have any plans regarding Tingting and Xue Yong? How can I cooperate?"
"..."
Gan!
Director He Da's mind is almost shutting down. Who is confessing his love today?
After a long while, he said in despair:
"There's nothing to cooperate with...just...just act out a play within a play..."
