85

It’s a completely different feeling to have a birthday with your parents and friends and classmates.

It’s quite formal to celebrate the birthday of my parents at home. My mother also makes dumplings and eats cakes with a very ritual feeling, as if something extraordinary happened on this day n years ago.

It’s different to celebrating birthdays with a group of classmates. To put it bluntly, it’s a carnival held by a group of people using someone’s birthday as an excuse.

Apart from giving gifts and eating cakes, it basically has nothing to do with you at other times. Girls may also be more particular, blowing candles and making wishes, and singing a birthday song together. These boys, when the cake was delivered, no one noticed that they missed candles, forks and plates.

After a meal was over, no one was affected when he took the cake and prepared to have another meal. Huo Ran poked the cake with chopsticks, but it didn't even poked it. The cake had been taken away.

"Today," Jiang Lei lay halfway on the chair, took a piece of cake and took a bite, "It would be great if it was Friday."

"Can you play until midnight, right?" Xu Zhifan said.

"That's not," said Wei Chaoren, "and then I can continue playing when I get up the next day."

"It's not that I'll ruin your fun," Xu Chuan said. "If it was Friday, I would probably not be in the mood to play. I'll be in the middle school entrance exam next Monday."

"Ah?" Jiang Lei was stunned, "Fuck, yes? It's time to take the exam again! Why do I feel like I'll always live in my heaven and I'm going to take the exam again and failing to pass the exam again?"

"I'm afraid of the fart," Kou Chen was also half lying in the chair, putting one leg on Huoran's leg, holding a drink in his hand, "It's just a small midterm exam, not a final exam, nor a college entrance examination..."

"Don't improve the exam," Xu Chuan sighed, "On such a happy day, let's talk about something auspicious."

Several people were all happy.

Except for Xu Zhifan, the college entrance examination is probably not a good thing for them.

In other words, I always feel that there is still one year left, and as long as I don’t think about it, there will be no pressure.

Suddenly he glanced at Kou Chen.

He held a cup and looked like he was having a great time drinking and having fun, as if his cup contained a glass of white wine.

It's actually Sprite.

They drank some beer tonight and then kept drinking drinks. Lao Yuan knew that they had come out to party and if they had drunk wine and got stuck in Lao Yuan when they went back, they would definitely be told.

If someone else said it, they would say it. They were not too much, but Old Yuan was not good. Old Yuan really had nothing to say to them. Even people like Kou Chen tried to change the fourth level to third level jump as much as possible when they went down the stairs in front of Old Yuan.

However, although I didn't drink much, the group of people could chat with each other until they were red and looked like they were looking at each other.

Since Kou Chen told him that day about the topic of usefulness or not, he always felt a little subtle when talking about the college entrance examination, and he did not feel as confident when talking about the grades before.

He patted Kou Chen's leg to show comfort.

Kou Chen looked at him and curled the corner of his mouth: "What are you doing?"

"There is one more year left." Huo Ran said.

"I didn't think of this." Kou Chen twitched.

There were not many people at the restaurant at around 9 o'clock. They changed the place and found a barbecue stall for another meal.

However, because I had dishes, drinks and cakes before, my combat effectiveness had decreased a lot, and I ordered a bunch of barbecue but couldn't finish it.

When I returned to school with a few large bags of barbecue, Kou Chen felt that there was something he was not comfortable enough.

As they approached the door of the dormitory, several people put the barbecue in shopping bags and pretended. Lu Huan and Wu Xiaochen received the message and secretly ran out to get it.

Seeing Jiang Lei give the barbecue to Lu Huan, the two of them came to the side and whispered and laughed quietly, Kou Chen suddenly felt something that he was not comfortable enough.

On Huo Ran’s birthday, neither of them had the chance to be alone.

Being alone means chatting and smirking, there is nothing else to do, and I don’t know what to do, but I just want to stay alone with Huo Ran, during some special time.

He sighed.

Or more than that.

Wei Chaoren and Jiang Lei have been struggling to pursue girls recently, and come to him from time to time to come to him for advice, what to do and what to say.

Every time he patiently gave some advice. Although he didn't know whether it was right or wrong, he was always better than them.

If Xu Zhifan hadn't been decisively rejected before he started working hard, there would be three people around him who were immersed in a happy period of love but not in love. One or two of them would laugh at him and he would have to give an idea.

Where can I go to reason!

depressed.

If Huoran was a girl, he wouldn't have to worry about it for so long, and he wouldn't even need to spend much time to determine what was wrong with him. As long as he had a little bit of affection, he would dare to come over.

He had nothing to say or not to say, he only had something he dared not say at all.

Fear of being rejected, and even more afraid of being tolerated.

I can't accept your likes, but I will still treat you as a friend.

This is even more fucking humiliation and a great humiliation than directly rejecting.

Can't bear it.

After Huo Ran’s birthday, they have no chance to have fun for the moment, so they can look forward to May Day, but there was a midterm exam before, and the results of the midterm exam directly affected the quality of their May Day holiday.

So for the sake of high-quality holidays, a few people started on Thursday, four days in advance to review.

In contrast, Xu Zhifan is much more relaxed. He is not as lazy as theirs, so he does not need to attack.

Kou Chen was also very relaxed. He went to class and slept in the toilet after class, and finished the canteen and finished the convenience store. He lived a relaxing and comfortable life until the beginning of the midterm exam, even more than usual.

Usually, he can still make a surprise attack when he is in a good mood and strive to pass the exam more, but this time he really has no mood.

Every day I feel that my mind is full and I can no longer put a word in it.

Only Huo Ran saw his uneasiness in ease.

"Didn't you say your dad doesn't care about your midterm exam results and only focuses on the end of the period?" Huo Ran asked, "Is he saying something this time?"

"I didn't say anything," Kou Chen frowned, "I just asked when the exam was going to be. He never asked before. I thought he didn't know there was a midterm exam."

"Then you read the book. If you don't understand, you can ask Xu Zhifan. He is doing well in his lectures." Huo Ran said.

"No." Kou Chen said.

Huo Ran looked at him: "Are you so stubborn?"

"Look at him with admiration!" Kou Chen glared at him.

Suddenly sighed and said nothing.

Kou Chen couldn't tell why he was. He could get some points if he read a few glances at the books, or he could just glance at someone else's. He wouldn't get 40 or 50 points. After the exam, he would only have two of the six-character entries in the first place.

When Kou Xiao came to pick him up at the school gate, he stood by and accompanied him.

"My hands are cold," Kou Chen said.

Huo Ran didn't say anything, grabbed his hand and rubbed it on his back and his palms: "Or...why I'll go to your house."

"What?" Kou Chen looked at him, "If my dad is serious, we can't beat him if we add one. At least we have to add another brother Chuan."

"...Who dares to fight your dad!" Huo Ran was speechless, "I was thinking that if I followed him, even if he wanted to scold you and beat you, he wouldn't be embarrassed to fight. I think he has a good attitude towards me."

"That's the result," Kou Chen patted his schoolbag, "My sister can beat me to death, let alone him."

"Kou Chen," Huo Ran squeezed his hand, "Do you... have something to worry about?"

Kou Chen glanced at him.

Huo Ran quickly turned his head away: "I'll just ask, maybe you have it."

"I will tell you if I have the chance in the future." Kou Chen blurted out.

"Hmm?" Huo Ran turned around, as if he was a little surprised. He nodded after a while, "Okay."

"What if I didn't say it all the time?" Kou Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Sell you to the mountains." Huo Ran also raised his eyebrows.

Kou Chen laughed and did nothing with Huo Ran. Just a few casual conversations could make him forget a lot of irritable things for the time being.

However, these irritable things soon returned with Kou Xiao's arrival.

"Does Ranran get in the car?" Kou Xiao asked, "Sister gives you it."

"I can go back by myself. Today I have to go around my mother's unit to get things first." Huo Ran smiled.

"Okay," Kou Xiao said, "How was the exam?"

"...just pass the exam." Huo Ran said.

"Where is Kou Chen?" Kou Xiao asked again.

"You can ask me directly." Kou Chen said.

"I dare not." Kou Xiao still looked at Huo Ran.

"It's almost the same as before, and there are also... passing the exam." Huo Ran said.

"Okay, I know," Kou Xiao nodded, "Then let's go first, Ranran, please be careful when riding a bicycle."

"Okay." Huo Ran glanced at Kou Chen.

Kou Chen leaned against the car window, blinked his right eye at him, and smiled with a smile on his lips.
