Bamboo horse fell from the sky

Chapter 3

Shen Chi on the stage was unaware of this, his attention was not concentrated, and his eyes always seemed to fall on the queue of Class [-] below the stage.

After the flag-raising ceremony was completed, it was Yu Ran's turn to take the stage.

Shen Chi read the process casually, until he said: "The following outstanding student representatives are invited—"

He reacted suddenly, and Tong Xi, who was standing next to him, suddenly realized that she forgot to tell Shen Chi the name of the outstanding student.

The main reason is that almost all the outstanding student representatives in the past were Shen Chi, and she was always this person every time. She subconsciously believed that this was a fixed process.

"Yu Ran! That classmate's name is Yu Ran." Tong Xi immediately reminded her in a low voice. Her voice was not too low, but Shen Chi stood there blankly as if he didn't hear it.

The surrounding hustle and bustle receded like a tide, and the world suddenly fell into silence.

Shen Chi's mind could no longer accommodate other things, and it was all occupied by this name in an instant.

'By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. '

He seems to have seen that little boy with round eyes reaching out to him many years ago, with a slight smile on his cheeks, he stretched out his hand to him enthusiastically and said to him: "My name is Yu Ran. '

And his throat was as tight as it was then, as if it was full of rough particles.

"Afterburn."

He heard his own voice through the speakers, hovering above the grand scene of thousands of people.

"Next, we invite Yu Ran, an outstanding student representative, to speak on stage."

He had imagined countless scenes when he reunited with Yu Ran, but none of them was as hasty and abrupt as today, which caught people off guard and was hard to describe.

Yu Ran stood up slowly, he threw the folded speech into the trash can, and then stepped onto the rostrum in two or three steps.

Shen Chi turned his head abruptly, his eyes met Yu Ran's figure that suddenly appeared.

Yu Ran's face opened up, his facial features became more beautiful, and his skin was much fairer.And the thing in those beautiful peach eyes also changed from a smile to a sharp arrogance.

His hair was black and fluffy, slightly covering the tips of his ears, but the corners of his lips were no longer raised up as before, but slightly pressed down, which suddenly increased the strong sense of distance.

He nodded towards Shen Chi, his face was calm and his reaction was much calmer than Shen Chi's.

Shen Chi has grown a lot taller, the original single eyelids have grown into fan-like thin eyes, the contours of his face have become clean and neat, and his appearance is handsome, similar to before, but he can't see the shadow of the past.

But Yu Ran wasn't too surprised, no one would stay the same, what Shen Chi has become now, and how he became like this is not something he should ponder.

Yu Ran was like an ordinary student speaking on stage, taking the microphone from Shen Chi's hands naturally.

Shen Chi lowered his eyes, watching the polite and alienated movements of the hands he had held countless times.

"Long time no see." Shen Chi opened his mouth in a low voice.

Yu Ran raised his eyes, and replied in a strange and ordinary way: "Yes."

Shen Chi glanced at Yu Ran again, his dark pupils were full of emotions that Yu Ran could not understand.

Mixed and chaotic.

Shen Chi didn't say anything more, gave up his seat to Yu Ran, then turned around and walked off the rostrum.

Remnant Flame didn't take this little episode to heart, and let what just happened to the back of his mind naturally.

At this moment, he was standing in the middle of the rostrum, with one hand in his pocket, and looked around the students in the audience.

Well, the eyes are wide open, and the spirit is good.

"Hi everyone, I'm Yu Ran from Class [-] and [-] of high school." Yu Ran's voice was nice, clear and a bit lazy, even through the radio, the flamboyance and carelessness were still reflected in the slightest .Especially after he finished his second sentence.

"That's right, it's Shen Chi who scored [-] in the exam."

There was an uproar at the bottom, words such as "copied" and "fake" were passed into Yu Ran's ears, but he was not moved at all.

He slowly curled the corners of his lips, "Well, let me introduce myself again."

He changed his hand to hold the microphone, and waved lazily at the students in the audience with the other hand, with a brighter smile on his face, "Hello, students of Qi'an No. [-] Middle School."

"I'm Yu Ran from the former Class [-] of Beicheng High School. Nice to meet you."

"I hope that in the next two years, I can learn and improve with everyone."

As soon as the voice fell, the audience was silent.

Yu Ran looked at the wonderful expressions on the faces of the students in the audience, and then slowly followed up: "On the official website of Beicheng Senior High School, I am the third on the grade list for the second semester of the first year of high school. I have a name and a photo. You can search it. , I don't mind."

In just 2 minutes, the cognition of the students of Qi'an No. [-] Middle School was greatly impacted. Many people took out their devices and clicked on the website at the risk of being confiscated by the school leaders.

Who doesn't know Beicheng Senior High School, it is a nationally renowned high school, the students in it are all top geniuses, either they are smart or hardworking.If someone said that there was a student from Beicheng Middle School who came to Qi'an No. [-] Middle School, either the person's brain had a twitch or the student's head was caught by the door.

A boy who was still scolding Yu Ran for being shameless just now took out his mobile phone in disbelief, and saw Yu Ran's name and photo on the score list: Beicheng's first senior year in the city's unified examination, Yu Ran, with a score of 689, ranked first The city's third.

"About this monthly exam, what I want to say is..." Yu Ran seemed to remember the matter, "Thank you all students for caring so much about my exam results, but whether it's this time, next time, or the next time ..."

"I'm still No.1." He smiled lightly, as if stating the most normal fact.

There was an uproar.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Shen Chi was called to the office by the teacher.

He was somewhat dispirited, with a faint impatient expression on his face, until he opened the door and heard the word 'afterglow' faintly coming from the teacher's office.

"Hey, because of his tricks, I grabbed at least eight mobile phones during this flag-raising ceremony." Director Chen Feng of the Academic Affairs Office reprimanded bitterly: "What is he doing? Playing mavericks? How can this be taught!"

"It doesn't matter if it's not easy to teach, as long as the child's grades are good or not." The head teacher of the fourth class was lowering his head to review the homework, and stopped after just two strokes with the red pen.

He showed Chen Feng the homework on that page: "Look, I've said the question [-] times, and I'm still getting it wrong! If you want me to say, good grades don't have too many defects in character, this kind of child is already Very good."

After speaking, he raised his eyes and saw Shen Chi.

"Ah! Shen is late, how do you feel about this competition?"

Shen Chi nodded and replied, "It's okay."

The head teacher of Class [-] listened, and said, "It seems to be stable. By the way, Yu Ran is sitting behind you. If you have any questions, go to him and ask him. You have to seize such a good opportunity."

Shen Chi nodded.

It should be taken seriously.

"By the way, Shen Chi, you will later..." Chen Feng sat by the window, holding a steaming thermos, and pointed at it from a distance: "Then what... lingering flames! Yes, take him to the library Get books and school uniforms from the hall and warehouse."

Shen Chi's eyes suddenly darkened, and then he agreed:

"Ok."

"My God, you are so amazing." Qin Ke patted the table and blushed with excitement.

After Yu Ran returned to the classroom, the eyes of the classmates looking at him suddenly changed qualitatively. Some of those who had ridiculed Yu Ran before all tacitly chose to remain silent, as if surrounded by bgm who slapped his face.

"It's just basic training." Yu Ran leaned against the back of the chair and raised the corners of his eyes, shaking his hands nonchalantly.

But Qin Ke was instantly conquered by Yu Ran. He had never seen such a proud scene since he was a child, but Yu Ran did it easily.Apart from admiration, all he had left was envy.

He also wants to become a radiant and confident person like Yu Ran.

"Hey, Qin Ke, do you know where the school goes to pick up the books?" Yu Ran patted Qin Ke on the shoulder, and suddenly asked, "I can't stare blankly at a bare desk all day long, right?"

Qin Ke was stunned by this question. He had never received the book, so he didn't know the exact location: "It seems...in Shangyi Building. But I don't know more specifically."

Yu Ran wanted to ask something else, but was suddenly interrupted by Shen Chi who appeared out of nowhere.

Shen Chi stood beside him, his tall figure cast a small shadow on the desk, his right hand was lightly resting on the corner of the desk with a gentle expression.

"Director Xiong asked me to take you to pick up your textbooks and school uniform."

"Oh." Compared with his attitude, Yu Ran's was much colder.

He conveniently stuffed the mobile phone in the drawer into his pocket, propped up the table and got up, "Then let's go."

Shangyi Building is a little far away from Chongli Building where the second grader lives. Shen Chi simply took Yu Ran around the school and introduced him to the basic situation of the school.

Afterburn's reaction was faint, a little lacking in interest.

The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and the sky suddenly became cloudy.The moment they stepped into Shangyi Building, fine raindrops suddenly began to fall behind them.

There is a lot of rain in Qi'an's summer, and it rains suddenly, but fortunately, the rain comes and goes quickly, and it will stop within half an hour at most.

"The functions of the Shangyi Building are a bit complicated. The upper floors are the studios and music classrooms for art students, and the first floor is the library, where the textbooks are collected." Shen Chi introduced the building to Yu Ran while taking him through it. The dark corridor leads to the door of the library.

Unfortunately, the door was closed, probably because the teacher on duty happened to be absent.

"The teacher on duty should be here soon." Looking at Yu Ran's impatient expression, Shen Chi suggested: "We can wait here for a while."

"Okay." Yu Ran frowned and replied.

Anyway, it's raining outside, so I can't walk away.

He took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, leaned against the wall and lowered his head to brush it, without any intention of chatting with Shen Chi.

Standing by the window, Shen Chi looked at the indifferent Yu Ran opposite, and lowered his eyelashes dejectedly.

The corridor was empty, with only the sound of pattering rain in my ears, it was dark outside the window, and it was gloomy inside.The surrounding atmosphere fell into a strange stalemate for a while.

After all, Shen Chi couldn't hold back anymore, he raised his eyes to look at the lingering face who was silent, and said softly, "How have you been these few years?"

It was only then that these words finally came out of his mouth.

Yu Ran paused for a moment when he swiped the screen of the phone, and he raised his head, but he didn't know what kind of posture he should put on.

He finally just nodded and replied: "It's okay."

He raised his chin slightly and looked at Shen Chi, smiled politely, but unconsciously showed a little alienation.

Shen Chi has never seen Yu Ran like this before, in his impression Yu Ran is cheerful and sunny, like a little sun, a little clingy, laughing and joking all day long, talking straight and straight, looking heartless The appearance, but in fact the heart is softer than anyone else.

It won't be like this, with thorns all over his body erected at him, and his emotions are as thin as water.

Shen Chi felt a little dazed, he rubbed his knuckles unconsciously, and said with a touch of temptation: "How is your body? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Yu Ran knew what he was referring to, shook his head slightly, but subconsciously put his right hand on the back of his neck, and touched a soft scar behind his upper ear with his fingertips.The scar was horizontal, about five centimeters, and it was left after Yu Ran was hit by an illegally driving motorcycle when he ran away from home after going to Beicheng.

Over the past few years, the scar has faded a little, and it is not obvious from a distance. Even when his classmates and friends see him, he will face it calmly with a smile.

But today, he suddenly lost interest in mentioning it, and just shook his head and replied: "It's nothing, it's not very serious."

Shen Chi lowered his head, covering his heavy eyes.

He opened his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by the teacher on duty who appeared from the other side of the corridor.

"Student, are you two here to pick up the books? I'm so sorry, I just had something to do." The teacher hurriedly took out the key to open the door of the library, and greeted the two of them to enter.

Yu Ran and Shen Chi were noncommittal to this broad excuse, went in and took the book quickly and then came out.

The rain outside also stopped, and the two went to the warehouse opposite Shangyi Building to collect their school uniforms.

"Give me the form." An uncle in his fifties and sixties who worked in the warehouse took the receipt, squinted his eyes to read it, climbed up the shelf in two or three steps, and took four sets of school uniforms at once.

"New students, right? Two sets for summer and two sets for winter. You usually wear them for washing and washing. If you think it's not enough or if you lose it, you can go to the General Affairs Office to pay the fee and get a receipt to get a new set here." Maybe it's all right now, The uncle also kindly asked a few words.

"Okay, thank you uncle." Yu Ran intended to take the school uniform, but Shen Chi was one step ahead of him.

"You have a book in your hand, I'll get it for you."

Yu Ran didn't refuse, and simply thanked her.
