After the chestnuts and chocolate milk were delivered, Huo Ran took out a basket of snacks from his cabinet, ranging from melon seed cakes to chicken wings and duck necks. They were all salty and sweet. Then he took a small round table with wheels and pushed it to Kou Chen

Leg side.

"Is this your special snack equipment?" Kou Chen asked.

"It's not just about eating snacks," Huo Ran said. "I can also put tools when I repair the car. It's easy to use and can be pushed around."

"Can you still repair cars?" Kou Chen lay down on the sofa.

"I'll fix simple minor problems myself," Huo Ran sat on the carpet in front of the sofa, leaning against the sofa. "If it's a big problem, I'll take it to the store."

"When will you take me for a ride?" Kou Chen said.

"No." Huo Ran quickly and firmly refused.

"Holy crap, why are you so heartless? You just thanked me," Kou Chen said, "Now you're ignoring me again. You didn't even take me to the end of the hike."

"It's getting cold now. I won't go out until spring next year," Huo Ran said.

"Okay, I'm going. Let's make a deal first. You'll take me there and tell me in advance what kind of car you want to buy," Kou Chen said. "I promise not to hold you back."

Huo Ran sighed.

"You don't have enough lung capacity. You always sigh." Kou Chen sat up again and crossed his legs on both sides of his shoulders. "I'll give you a massage. Next time you go cycling or hiking or something, just take me with you."

Before Huo Ran spoke, he started to pinch Huo Ran's head: "How is it?"

"...Do you always go for massage?" Huo Ran asked.

Kou Chen grasped his head twice, neither lightly nor harshly, and instantly made him feel so comfortable that he closed his eyes. He didn't know whether he was missing something or if Kou Chen's level was just too high.

"No, I don't like people I don't know touching my body," Kou Chen said. "I always massage my mother and sister. I have practiced it since I was little."

"Are you so virtuous?" Huo Ran said.

"Shut up," Kou Chen said, "I'll crush you to death next time."

Huo Ran smiled and said nothing.

Maybe it was because I was a little mad at my aunt today. After a while, Huoran felt that his head was tilting back uncontrollably. That day, he felt that Wei Chaoren and the others were sleeping with their penis on their pillows, as if they were crazy...

The last memory he had was Kou Chen's hands pressing down from under his head to his shoulders.

Comfortable.

However, I couldn't sleep until dawn after such a comfortable sleep. I suddenly dreamed that I was thrown into the wilderness.

The person who killed him wore a mask and had very long eyelashes.

After killing him, they dragged him all the way to find a place to dump the body, interspersed with the police's judgment that the deceased must have known the murderer. You see he was smiling before he died...

Huo Ran couldn't help but laugh.

I woke up with a smile, and the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was my feet, unconsciously dragged on the ground, and my body was being dragged back.

"What the hell?" He was stunned, raised his head, and saw Kou Chen's chin, "What are you doing?"

"What can I do? It's already damn late, and you haven't arranged a place for me to sleep." Kou Chen dragged him into the bedroom. "What kind of hospitality do you have? This is me. It's my father."

, you have already made beds all over the house."

"Why did your dad come to my house to spend the night if you have nothing to do?" Huo Ran said and wanted to stand up, but Kou Chen didn't stop. He kicked the ground and continued to be dragged back.

"I mean if I were my dad..." Kou Chen gave up mid-sentence, "Forget it."

"Your dad gave me a massage," Huo Ran said, "I don't dare to fall asleep at all, okay?"

"Do you dare to let my dad give you a massage?" Kou Chen dragged him to the bed and threw him on the bed, "You must have eaten the courage!"

"Turn on the light." Huo Ran said while lying on the bed.

"I'm still standing here," Kou Chen said, but he still went over and turned on the small desk lamp, "Should I turn on this lamp?"

"Yeah." Huo Ran turned over and sat up, "I'm going to wash my face, and you can sleep on my bed."

This was the first time for Kou Chen to sleep with a light on, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Huo Ran's small light was supposed to be used to prevent ghosts and was very soft.

He turned to look at Huo Ran, who was still in the same posture as he was in the school doctor's office that day, with his back to him.

"When you sleep alone, which way do you face?" Kou Chen asked.

"Come forward." Huo Ran said.

"Oh." Kou Chen turned over and looked at the back of his head, "Are you afraid of ghosts because of what happened when you were a child?"

"If someone else asks me this, he will be dead this second." Huo Ran said.

Kou Chen was a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean it, I just... suddenly wanted to ask, and I didn't think much about it."

"I don't know. Anyway, I've always felt that there was a ghost in the dark room since I was a child," Huo Ran said. "Maybe, they wouldn't let me in the small room in my grandma's old house as long as I can remember."

"Stop talking," Kou Chen leaned towards him and put his hand on his waist, "You can go to sleep, I'm behind you."

"You usually sleep with a pillow in your arms, right?" Huo Ran asked.

"No, my dad won't laugh at me to death if this pillow appears in my room," Kou Chen said.

"Not necessarily, don't you still use the giraffe's bath towel?" Huo Ran said.

"...My dad doesn't use the bathroom in my house and can't see it." Kou Chen said, "Why are you asking me this? You can't even use it?"

"No, I'm just curious. Where did you get such a habit of sleeping alone? Who would give you a lift..." Huo Ran suddenly stopped in the middle of his sentence, "Fuck! I won't say any more."

"I have two quilts, one for the bed and another for the pillow, and a pillow for summer..." When Kou Chen was halfway through speaking, Huo Ran was already rubbing back on the bed and squeezing onto him. He was stunned, "What's wrong?"

ah?"

"It's nothing," Huo Ran said, "My back has to be close to someone."

"I..." Kou Chen suddenly reacted and laughed so hard that he put his arms on him and put his legs on him triumphantly, "Hey, don't be afraid, Uncle Kou will protect you."

During the two-day holiday in the haze, the seven-person group almost all mingled together. They stayed at Kou Chen's house on the first day and moved to Huo Ran's house early the next morning. They went to whose house there was no one.

In fact, there's nothing shameful about it. It's just that I smoke cigarettes occasionally and copy homework.

Their homework machine, classmate Xu Zhifan, brought the finished homework at the right time and threw it on the table: "Let's work."

"Key high schools are just different," Kou Chen felt unhappy. "Even if you copy the homework, you still have to hand it in. If you don't hand it in, will you die?"

"This is the final bottom line for us scumbags who are stuck in the key points." Jiang Lei leaned on the table and started copying.

"Don't be so modest. You all got in after all. Even if you take the test before the test, you will do better than those from our original school." Kou Chen sighed and picked out an English paper from Xu Zhifan's homework.

"How did you get in?" Hu Yi asked.

"Pay the money, brother." Kou Chen said.

"Your grades can't be too bad, right? You won't be able to get in if you don't pay," Jiang Lei said.

"It depends on how much you paid." Kou Chen curled his lips.

Huo Ran looked at him. He had been able to deal with Kou Chen's calm pretense calmly, and he could even see the handsomeness in Kou Chen like this.

"Stop being modest," Wei Chaoren said at the right time as a spokesman for someone whose brain was not working well at a critical moment. "You have better grades than me, and I didn't even spend any money to get in."

"Go away," Kou Chen looked at him, "can't even copying homework make you invest a little bit?"

Huo Ran couldn't hold it back and fell on the sofa unable to stop laughing.

"Shut up." Kou Chen pointed at him.

Huo Ran turned over and continued to smile with his face facing the back of the sofa.

"Your uncle." Kou Chen said.

Copying homework is very fast, and there are more people to copy with, and we can chat, which is much more enjoyable than being alone at home.

But Kou Chen really admired Xu Zhifan. Even though he had written all the homework, he was actually reading next to him while everyone was copying their homework.

"I don't see you listening to the lectures in class!" Kou Chen said, "Are you actually a good student in disguise?"

"Listen to a little bit," Xu Zhifan said, "You said, do a surprise before the exam. Don't you know that the midterm exam is coming soon?"

"Really?" Kou Chen looked indifferent, "I'm just waiting for the final exam to be over so I can take a vacation."

Of course he knew that there were two days left for the midterm exam, but he was not too afraid of the midterm exam, he was more afraid of the final exam. Dad didn't care about the midterm exam results, he only focused on the final exam.

If it's too bad, even though he won't be poked on the railing, he still has to go out and hide for two days. Dad doesn't take any action now, but he can't bear just scolding.

"Eat out or eat at my house?" After everyone finished their homework, Huo Ran took out his mobile phone and asked, "Would you like to try the takeout hot pot that Kou Chen and I ordered yesterday? It's quite delicious."

"Then let's order takeout. If you're too lazy to go out, you can eat more comfortably at home," Xu Chuan said. "If you drink too much, you can still sleep on the spot."

"Then I'll order. There's a set meal for eight people." Huo Ran looked at his phone, "No, I think we need ten people... If there are no ten people, we need two set meals for six people..."

Xu Zhifan's cell phone rang. Huo Ran frowned when he saw him take out his cell phone, then walked into the kitchen and closed the door.

Ever since the neighbor's Aunt Hu contacted the family to ask for money, Huo Ran followed Xu Zhifan and worried about his mother, always afraid that something would happen.

After Huo Ran finished ordering, Xu Zhifan opened the kitchen door and tilted his head at him inside.

"Huh?" Huo Ran walked to the door.
