The mobile phone on the sink suddenly turned off automatically, and Xie Lan's dazed face in the mirror also disappeared into the darkness.

Across a door, Dou Sheng's voice playing games became clearer.

"What talisman to take, don't use it if you don't understand."

"Good steel is used on the blade, so let's keep it for a while."

Xie Lan stood silently for a long time, tidied up his chaotic mood, and was about to go out when the phone turned on again.

A name he didn't want to see jumped on the screen, from "London".

The noise of the mobile phone vibrating on the ceramic sink was a bit loud, so he hesitated for a moment before picking it up.

Xie Jingming's voice was as kind as usual.

"Son, what are you doing?"

Xie Lan looked at the phone in a daze. He had forgotten the last time he heard this man speak Chinese.

It took him a long time to reply: "I'm with my classmates, what's the matter?"

Unconsciously curling his left index finger, he turned and walked into the darkest corner of the bathroom.

Xie Jingming said: "I was having lunch with my colleagues, and suddenly it occurred to me that you have been back to China for two months, and it must be summer in your place. What are the seasonal vegetables in April in China..."

Xie Jingming opened the chatter box, and Xie Lan was fainted after a while. He put down the phone in confusion, and held it back to his ear after a while.

"Last time you left before your birthday. I didn't have time to tell you the gift I ordered. It finally arrived two days ago. Guess what piano Dad chose for you? You dream..."

"Dad, don't go around." Xie Lan lowered his head and rubbed the bridge of his nose, "I'm a little tired today. If you still let me go back, my answer will remain the same."

The chatter on the phone stopped abruptly, Xie Jingming was silent for a moment, and then put on a serious tone, "But you should come back, your classmates are starting to apply for schools. We can talk about your dissatisfaction, such as Elizabeth, dad can take a step back , how do you feel about being friends with her for a while?"

For now, take a step back.

Xie Lan relied on great concentration to hold back a sneer, "From the day you started dating, this matter can no longer be changed. What's more, the main reason for me to return to China has nothing to do with you, I am to replace my mother..."

Xie Jingming interrupted him a little irritably, "Go to the school that I admitted that year for my mother. The top universities in the UK have exchange programs with them there. You can apply for two years of experience at that time. Do you really want to stay away from your father for the rest of your life?" ?"

"I'm sorry." Xie Lan's tone was calm and alienated, "I made it very clear before returning to China that I will not return to the UK for at least five years."

Xie Jingming was furious, "Why are you so unreasonable? You can speak Chinese as you please, and you can separate from Aunt Elizabeth. You are even allowed to exchange domestically. What else do you want? Xie Lan, why do you have to stay?" domestic?"

Xie Lan turned her head to look in the mirror, silent.

Maybe it was because he had been talking about it for too long, he didn't know when he became a little numb to Elizabeth's existence, and the matter between her and Xie Jingming had nothing to do with him. Going to his mother's university was indeed his original intention of staying in China, but now he suddenly felt a little uncertain, not sure if that was the only reason.

Just now when Xie Jingming mentioned going back to England, what flashed through his mind was that he wanted to accompany Dou Sheng to take the top 100.

Xie Jingming continued angrily: "I'm warning you for the last time, you have to control your temper. If I really stop your credit card and stop sending money to your Aunt Zhao, what will you do then?"

"I have my own way to eat." Xie Lan said quickly: "You really don't need to pretend to be ordinary friends for me and Elizabeth, and you will come back sooner or later if you take a step back. Dad, everyone should live in the way they want, I I won't bother you, and please don't bother me."

After a long silence on the phone, Xie Jingming suddenly said in a sober tone: "Have you met anyone in China? So desperately wanting to stay in China, are you in a relationship?"

Hit the nail on the head.

Xie Lan's scalp began to tingle again, but he replied quickly and calmly: "No, why did you get involved in this?"

He said, without waiting for Xie Jingming to give another round of lectures, he quickly said: "My classmate called me, I can solve the money issue by myself, so I hang up."

After hanging up the phone, he opened the bathroom door as if fleeing.

Lights and shadows flickered in the small bedroom, and permeating music played on the stereo. Dou Sheng huddled in the bean bag, and his whole body was capitalized with the word tense.

"How do you recite the twelve days? Oh wait, our class teacher sent a voice message."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to turn off the microphone, and looked up at Xie Lan.

"Are you okay, your dad's phone number?"

Xie Lan hummed, sat down next to him, picked up the handle and said, "It's better to threaten me with living expenses to go back, it's a little more formal than before."

Dou Sheng paused for a moment, then smiled casually, "What a big deal, your living expenses will be deducted from my pocket money in the future, and I will lend you."

Xie Lan glanced at him, "Thank you so much."

"Don't rush to say thank you, my money is not so easy to borrow." Dou Sheng said with a smile, "With interest on the principal, you must pay it back carefully in the future."

Xie Lan had something on his mind, so he didn't say anything. Dou Sheng looked at his side face, and said in a low tone, "By the way, I'm sorry for the fall just now, I was so scared by the game, I just ran away, don't you mind?"

Xie Lan hummed, "It's okay."

The barrage has been swiped-

You call this listening to the head teacher's voice? ? -

Anyway, take out your phone and play a show? -

What are you talking about? I'm so curious-

I'm going to crawl along the network cable to eavesdrop!

Dou Sheng turned on the microphone again, "Calm down, the female ghost will come out later. Xie Lan will follow, I will protect you." -

I want some bean face, thank you-

I bother! -

Who protects who, tsk-

Hurry up, Ermao, beat up your teammates!

Xie Lan didn't have much interest in watching the barrage, the flustered feeling that he had managed to suppress, was aroused by Xie Jingming's words "in love", and all his efforts were in vain.

He dragged the joystick to let the villain follow Dou Sheng, staring at the game screen in a daze.

After a while, the villain in front suddenly turned around, took out a piece of yellow paper from his bag, and slapped it on Xie Lan's forehead.

Xie Lan was stunned: "What is this?"-? ? ? -

Do you give life-saving props to your followers? -

What about the boss? ? -

WTF? -

What about trouble? ?

Dou Sheng smiled casually, and said to Xie Lan: "This is called an exorcism talisman. If you stick this talisman on your forehead, all poisons will not invade, all evils will be warded off, and all ghosts will be dispelled."

Xie Lan was stupid.

He mechanically controlled the villain to continue to follow Dou Sheng, his heart beating wildly.

What's the meaning? Dou Sheng can't see that he has ghosts in his heart, can he drive away the dirty things in his mind?

Xie Lan was hesitating, when Dou Sheng raised his hand to cover the mic, looked at the game screen, and said in a very low voice, "There is no need to panic, the big cat is covering you."

Xie Lan was taken aback.

Barrage:-

What are you talking about! quiet! talk! -

I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying-

Ah, can you let me focus on the game!

Dou Sheng let go of his hand with a smile, "Okay, okay, focus on the game, continue."

After solving puzzles all the way through the level, Dou Sheng seemed to restrain his startle reaction on purpose. Occasionally, when he was so frightened that he was about to die, he just gritted his teeth and whipped the pillow wildly, and did not hug Xie Lan again.

Xie Lan guessed that Dou Sheng also felt the embarrassment at that moment, so he consciously stayed away from him.

At the end of the level, the female ghost boss finally came out, and all the bullet screens were swiped to let Dou Sheng take off the charm given to Xie Lan, stick it on himself, and then go face to face.

Xie Lan glanced at the barrage, "How do I get this charm? Press B?"

Dou Sheng said: "It's okay, you posted it, and what is given to you is yours."

As he spoke, he put down the handle, moved his wrist, picked up the handle again and said, "Friends in the audience, the high-energy beans ahead are here."

As he spoke, he manipulated the villain to go directly to the barrier and sprinkle yellow powder, opening the "Gate of the Underworld". A shadowy female ghost appeared in the distance, trembling with the screen, flickering in front of the camera, Dou Sheng lingered with her behind the stone monument on the bridge, and was almost caught in the face by her several times, but escaped narrowly every time .

Xie Lan stopped operating, and turned his head to look at Dou Sheng. The handle made a clicking sound in Dou Sheng's hand. He was concentrating on it, chanting words, and stared at the female ghost on the screen.

"Go around, go around, go around again! Let me die!"

The villain drew out the soul-breaking knife and missed it. The knife got stuck on the stone tablet, and the female ghost rushed up instantly. Dou Sheng manipulated the villain to dodge backwards. The female ghost suddenly became bigger, and the villain rolled around from under her. Finally, the knob of the handle made an extreme tearing sound, and Dou Sheng crazily pressed the backflip to return to the stone tablet, charged up and drew out the soul-breaking knife, jumped up and slashed, cutting off the female ghost's face.

The huge clearance prompt flickered, and the bullet screen immediately popped up 666. Dou Sheng threw the handle and let out a long sigh of relief.

With vivid pride in his brows and eyes, he clicked his tongue at the barrage: "Look, look, let me tell you, life-saving things like spells are optional, and you can pass without them." -

you fart-

Who said just now that good steel is used on the blade? -

Ten minutes of jabbering about this spell-

Blade = Xie Lan-

Thank you, today also kdl

Dou Sheng tutted his tongue and said, "Okay, don't keep making noises. That's it for today, we're going to download it, eh, yes, this is Xie Lan's live broadcast."

Xie Lan was fascinated by the spell stuck on the forehead of his game villain, when he was suddenly cueed and turned his head blankly.

Dou Sheng smiled, "Say good night to the audience."

"Oh." Xie Lan smiled at the camera with a little embarrassment, "Good night everyone."-

woo woo woo good night-

Lan Zai is really nice Su-

Lan Zai Yixiao has no atmosphere in the game-

Good night! Good night! Good night!

Dou Sheng didn't hesitate any longer, turned off the push stream directly, got up and dismantled the base of the game console, and unplugged all kinds of cables.

Xie Lan hesitated for a moment, then stood up, "I'm going back to the house."

Dou Sheng was being entangled in a bunch of threads, and said casually: "Go to bed early, there is competition training tomorrow."

"Um."

Xie Lan came out of the shower after eleven o'clock in the evening. The hot bath cleared his mind a little. He wiped his hair with a towel while coaxing Wutong. sounded.

Dou Sheng probably just finished taking a shower, and the two doors of the room were left open, and the sound of blowing the wind came out so blatantly.

Xie Lan sat on the bed and wiped her hair repeatedly. Hearing the sound of the wind, she suddenly became distracted.

Suddenly, he kicked off his slippers, stepped on the cotton socks on the floor, and walked silently to the door of Dou Sheng's concealed room.

First, he looked up at the clock and two paintings on the wall in the corridor.

Then, Zhangruo glanced inwardly.

This angle is just facing the gap where the bathroom door is open. Dou Sheng is standing in front of the mirror and blowing his hair. He is wearing those light gray pajama pants with wide stripes. Stretching and pulling up from time to time, revealing a smooth and firm side waist.

Crystal water droplets splashed out from between the fluffy hair, disappearing in the air. Dou Sheng's hands were running back and forth between the hair, and the outline of the youth's shallow muscles on the arm was faintly visible.

The familiar feeling of suffocation came again, and Xie Lan felt a chill in his heart.

How can I memorize "Song of Everlasting Sorrow".

Xie Lan was deeply interested in the country, so he couldn't ask for a boarding house for many days.

There is a boy in Dou's family who has just grown up, and he can't survive without looking at him a few times.

Isn't this the end?

Xie Lan stood expressionlessly at the door, silently chanting, and suddenly heard a click, and Dou Sheng raised the arm to bring down the plug, and the hair dryer went silent for an instant.

The moment Dou Sheng turned to plug in the plug, Xie Lan turned his head and left, his heart beating wildly.

"Xie Lan?"

"..."

Dou Sheng put down the hair dryer, scratched his hair and walked out, "What are you doing here, what do you need from me?"

Xie Lan turned around awkwardly, and was silent for a moment, "Ah, looking for a cat."

"Cat?" Dou Sheng subconsciously turned his head to look into his room, "Isn't it on your bed."

"..."

Xie Lan turned her head coolly, and looked at Wutong who was lying on the pillow.

"The cat is here..." He swallowed hard, but I was almost gone.

He scratched the floor with his toes in the socks, Dou Cheng frowned and looked at him, then suddenly smiled knowingly.

"Aren't there bugs again? I'm sorry to say? It's been raining recently and there are a lot of bugs. I just trampled to death a guy who didn't know what it was in the bathroom."

Xie Lan heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded hastily, "Yeah, bugs, it's still the same string of money as last time, and it's especially long."

Hearing this, Dou Sheng raised his feet and walked into his room, "I'll go, what else? What are you doing for Wutong?"

The cat gave Dou Sheng a sleepy look, narrowed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Dou Sheng moved the bedside table casually, "Where did you find it? How long?"

Xie Lan was confused, and gestured casually, "It's so long, it's around the bed."

Dou Sheng was startled, "Ten centimeters?"

"..." Xie Lan narrowed the distance between his fingers by half, "five centimeters."

"You scared me to death." Dou Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "It's probably under the bed, I'll look for it."

As he spoke, he propped up the bed with one hand, twisted his waist and lay down on the ground, and slipped under the bed.

"No." A muffled voice came from under the bed, "Only the toy hidden by the parasol tree, where did you see the bug?"

Xie Lan took a deep breath, trying to act out the sense of despair, "Here it is!"

"It's coming!" Dou Sheng lifted his foot under the bed to take off his slippers, slid them on the edge of the bed and slid them out again. The shower just now was all in vain, and there was another layer of dust on his back shoulders.

"Where?" He walked around with his slippers.

Xie Lan pointed at the door in panic: "Run out!"

Dou Sheng immediately chased him out with his slippers. As soon as he walked away, Xie Lan silently closed the door behind him.

Click, lock.

There was a moment of silence outside the door, and Dou Sheng was shocked by the operation.

"I go?"

Xie Lan sighed and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I'm afraid it will come in again."

"Oh." Hearing that he was afraid, Dou Sheng's voice softened all of a sudden, and he raised his hand to rub against his door twice.

"Don't be afraid, I'll look for it first, and I might go downstairs."

Xie Lan hummed, "Thank you."

The lights were turned off, but Xie Lan couldn't sleep. He lay in the dark and listened to Dou Sheng looking for bugs outside for half an hour, took out his phone, clicked on Dou Sheng's dialog box, typed a few words and deleted them.

For a long time, he silently clicked on his personal information, staring at the nickname "Renaissance" in a daze.

Dou Sheng stood outside his door and asked in a low voice, "Are you asleep?"

Xie Lan wanted to tell him to go to bed quickly, but the words got stuck on his lips.

He seemed to have lost the ability to speak normally with Dou Sheng.

Dou Sheng didn't wait for an answer, so he yawned and left with his slippers on.

Xie Lan waited for the last movement next door to disappear before he let out a long breath.

He tossed and turned on the bed, and after a long time, he clicked on his profile and typed in a new nickname: sick.

*

After preparing for the exam for a week, both of them slept very deeply that night, and were woken up by the pony kicking the door the next morning.

Xie Lan hastily washed his face and put the bag on his back, got into the car and was still staggering from sleepiness, leaned back in the seat and continued to sleep.

Xiao Ma lowered the front window, and the refreshing morning breeze after the rain blew on his face. It took several minutes for Xie Lan to wake up slowly. He crossed his fingers and moved his wrists, trying to straighten his waist on the seat.

He turned his head and looked to the left. Dou Sheng was "folded" in sleep, with his head resting on his knees, and his center of gravity was so stable that he couldn't jump out even if he braked suddenly.

Xie Lan sighed, and opened Station B sleepily.

The list of private messages exploded every day, and he yawned and swiped down, flicking his fingertips for a while.

@K: Hello, Xie Lan. I am Wu Cheng, the PR of the K brand violin. I appreciate your performance ability and arrangement style. We have an entry-level violin here, which is suitable for beginners. We hope to cooperate with you to launch a violin. I don't know if you are interested or not. My contact information is:......

Xie Lan read this paragraph carefully several times, and was a little surprised.

Since his "debut" live broadcast, there have been a lot of small promotions that came to him, but this is the first time that this kind of regular brand and perfect matching field. He clicked on the product link and looked at the violin. The K brand originated in France and is well-known in Europe. This entry-level violin can't go wrong, and the price is in the early 2000s, which is quite suitable.

"What?" Dou Sheng woke up, stretched his back on the chair, "You are watching so seriously."

"There is a promotion."

"Eh? Let me take a look." The sleepiness in Dou Sheng's eyes subsided, he carefully read the invitation twice, and clicked on the link to read it for a few minutes.

"It looks pretty reliable, do you want to pick it up?"

Xie Lan hummed.

He was really tempted, his savings would not last long, Xie Jingming had to plan early if he wanted to cut off his money and food.

Dou Sheng smiled, "I think it's okay. You can use their piano to release the next music video. It's not difficult. Ask clearly, as long as you can accept our labeling of advertisements, fans won't mind."

Xie Lan hummed, "I'll add him first."

"Pull me in the group chat too." Dou Sheng yawned again, "I'll review the contract, and I won't talk the rest of the time."

Xie Lan nodded, first added that person's WeChat, and then casually checked the list when he passed, and suddenly found something wrong.

"You changed your nickname?" Xie Lan asked in surprise.

Dou Sheng rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Ah."

Dou Sheng's nickname was changed from "RJJSD" to "Doctor Douzi".

Xie Lan felt a little weird in his heart, "Why change this?"

Dou Sheng snorted, "I still want you to ask you. Maybe you are sick in the middle of the night, and I am not allowed to change my career to become a doctor?"

Xie Lan was speechless, it took a long time to put away the phone, and turned to look out the window.

These two names don't really have any sense of confrontation, but if they are pronounced together, they seem to be matched by "one set".

Just like the big cat and the second cat, he didn't have any feelings for the big cat and the second cat before, so he felt weird about it.

Xie Lan took a deep breath and shut himself up.

During the whole day of training, Xie Lan fell into autism. In the morning, Mr. Liang said that someone from the Education Bureau would come to record the style of the provincial training camp, so he would ask a few more students to go up to solve the problems. As a result, they called Xie Lan in the middle of the morning. After going up, Xie Lan solved all the problems that could be solved on the blackboard without saying a word, and came down without explaining.

Teacher Liang had a complex expression, and there was no sound in the small classroom.

Xie Lan came down and passed by Guo Ruize, Guo Ruize probed and asked, "Why did the boss stand up today?"

Xie Lan glanced at him, "Speak human."

Guo Ruize: "I'll give you one, and you've done all four."

Xie Lan was stunned.

He tried his best not to look back at the blackboard, but said indifferently, "Oh, I didn't pay attention."

"..."

Back on his seat, Xie Lan flipped through the exercises given out today a little bored.

For him, there were not as many dry goods as last week. He glanced at Mr. Liang and opened a notebook.

In the notebook are the competition questions given to him by Lao Ma alone. Each question has a real level of difficulty, and it is worth pondering carefully.

But Xie Lan is not in the mood to do these perverted questions at this meeting. He uses his notebook to cover it, and it seems that he is doing calculations, but in fact he can't help but look over the top edge of the notebook and sneak a glance at Dou Sheng.

Dou Sheng seemed to be listening very carefully to the class of the provincial training camp. Every time he looked at it, he would bow his head and take notes, without exception.

Today's weather is fine, blue sky and white clouds, Dou Sheng is sitting by the window, the breeze is blowing his hair, he looks handsome with his head bowed seriously.

Xie Lan had a ghost in his heart, so he even thought about a problem all day, but he didn't know how many times he secretly glanced at Dou Sheng.

According to his own estimation, it probably needs a limit arithmetic formula to calculate it.

After finally staying up until almost eight o'clock in the evening, Mr. Liang sent out the exclusive homework to everyone and went out for a while.

Everyone began to relax and chat in their seats, and Xie Lan finally got into the mood, and began to quickly calculate the space vector created by the old horse, and was writing quickly when Teacher Liang came back and patted the podium table.

"That's it for today. I just went out to ask the teacher from the Education Bureau to get a USB flash drive. Some classroom videos recorded today will be displayed in the Education Bureau for about a week. I won't talk about the video. The reporter snapped two pictures from the front door of everyone listening to the class. photos, one in the morning and one in the evening, let you choose which one to use."

Teacher Liang inserted the USB flash drive into the computer and lowered the projector.

Xie Lan's back stiffened, and he raised his head abruptly.

All day today, if he is taken casually, he is likely to be peeking at Dou Sheng.

It is not difficult to imagine Dou Sheng's bewildered expression after seeing the photo, maybe he will really draw a spell and press it on his forehead to exorcise him.

Two big words floated through Xie Lan's numb mind: Help.

He watched the folder pop up on the projector with distracted eyes. Teacher Liang clicked the JPG file crisply, and two photos popped up on the projection, one in front of the other.

The world seemed to be quiet at that moment.

Xie Lan looked at the corner of the photo with ashen face - after a long time, he let out a silent and long sigh of relief, and collapsed back into the back of the chair.

Pity the heavens, the morning and evening snaps didn't show him peeking at Dou Sheng, instead, Dou Sheng just happened to look at him inadvertently, the safety index is max.

Xie Lan came back from the dead, physically and mentally exhausted, and turned to meet Dou Sheng's gaze.

Dou Sheng's tone was a little tentative, "Is the photo okay? I think it makes me look a bit ugly."

"It's pretty good." Xie Lan said quickly and calmly: "I look pretty good."

The author has something to say: After dinner, Doudan passed by the living room, and his back was full of vicissitudes.

The person typing on the keyboard stopped it: What's wrong with you?

Doudan said helplessly: I usually observe the lazy egg secretly, but it seems to be discovered by it. It always stares at me today!

Doudan let out a long sigh as he spoke: I'm in a panic.
