Whispering To You - Chapter 31
It was another weekend, Xie Yingru made an appointment to go to Cheng Yin’s house to accompany her to do her homework.
Cheng Yin had already prepared fruits and drinks, and a lot of snacks. It looked like she was making up lessons, she was holding a party.
I forgot to prepare a stool for Xie Ying.
“There is only one stool in my room, please wait for me, I will go to my brother’s study and get one for you.”
Cheng Yin ran while talking and turned right when he went out to Cheng Sheng’s study.
Xie Ying followed, stood at the door and glanced inside.
And there are two microscopes on the desk in the middle.
There are also many pictures on the four walls. Xie Ying took a general look, and she only recognized some pictures of microorganisms.
Soon, Cheng Yin came out with a stool and closed the door.
She found that Xie Ying was reading the study, and said with a little disgust: “I’m not wrong, my brother is really perverted, the house is full of books, and he can eat it.”
Xie Ying did not speak, and followed Cheng Yin back to the room.
“I’m really afraid that he will become a nerd. I haven’t seen him make a girlfriend in his twenties. Oh no, Shu is his girlfriend, I see him and he will spend his life with Shu Bar.”
Xie Ying smiled, “Did you say that about your brother?”
While speaking, someone knocked on Cheng Yin’s room door.
“Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.” Cheng Yin shouted back, “Come in!”
Cheng Sheng pushed open the door, saw Xie Ying, and said, “Do you have friends?”
Cheng Yin proudly said: “Yes, she is Xie Ying, I have told you many times, she is our class, oh no, we are the first in the whole grade.”
Cheng Sheng nodded to Xie Ying to say hello, then put the roasted sweet potato in his hand on the table.
“I didn’t know you had friends, just bought one. Let’s share.”
“Okay.”
Cheng Sheng passed by, and the smell of him lingered in the air.
It has a faint smell of laundry detergent.
Xu Shiren is too handsome, Xie Ying has a hard time imagining him appearing in the underground boxing gym.
How could someone like him appear there?
“Come on, you are half me and half me.” Cheng Yin’s voice suddenly interrupted Xie Ying’s thoughts, “What should we do first today?”
“Biology.” Xie Ying bit the roasted sweet potato, “Last time you tested the creature’s hind legs.”
“Good.”
Cheng Yin took out the biology book and workbook and started to organize the review content for this month.
There will be an exam next week, not an ordinary monthly exam, but a unified mock exam across the city. Teachers attach great importance to this exam. It is said that most people’s college entrance examination scores are the same as this exam. Almost the same.
Cheng Yin was scrambling to sort out the wrong questions, but the phone beside her kept ringing.
That guy Zhang Sky is here again.
“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute! Let me see Chen Ran again!”
“I beg you, I will call your sister in the future, you can make arrangements, please.”
“Just once, I’ll take a photo with him and ask for an autograph and then chat?”
“It’s okay not to chat, I’ll be satisfied if I can take a photo!”
“You have such a good relationship with him, you can’t hide it, the blessing must be shared!”
Cheng Yin didn’t know how to reply to Zhang Skye.
If she agreed, wouldn’t it be obvious to Chen Ran that I know who you are.
That won’t work.
Cheng Yin found a reason to prevaricate Zhang Sky.
“He seems to be very busy recently. I’ll help you in a while.”
Get this answer, Zhang Sky can only say yes.
Cheng Yin put down the phone and felt a little depressed.
Zhang Skye is her senior brother, and the coach is also proud of him.
Since junior high school, he has been the champion of the youth group, and he is also the face of their club. He is always printed on the flyers, and his grades are used to recruit students.
Before he knew Chen Ran, Zhang Sky was the most powerful person Cheng Yin knew.
And now, the most powerful people Cheng Yin knows admire Chen Ran so much, then Chen Ran is really outstanding.
“Alas.”
Cheng Yin couldn’t help sighing.
“What’s the matter with you? Which question doesn’t work?”
“Alas.” Cheng Yin looked at Xie Ying and sighed, “If only I were the first in the grade like you.”
“What are you thinking about?” Xie Ying tapped Cheng Yin’s head with a pen, “I’ll make up for you, but you want to take my place.”
“No, no, how could I be the first in the grade, I would be good if I could be admitted to the university…”
Alas, yes, whether she can even be admitted to university is a problem now, but Chen Ran has already stood on the highest peak in the world.
This is a huge gap.
Cheng Yin left Xie Ying for dinner, and the aunt specially cooked a few more dishes.
Cheng Sheng hurriedly took a few bites and put down his chopsticks.
“Aren’t you going to eat?”
Cheng Yin asked.
Cheng said “um”, went back to the room and took a backpack out, walked to the door to change shoes.
“Don’t leave me lights at night, I may be back later.”
“Are you going to school for an experiment?”
Cheng Sheng was stunned, nodded and said yes.
After dinner, Xie Ying and Cheng Yin did some homework again.
At nine o’clock, she should almost go back.
Grandpa and grandma all go to bed at this time, if she doesn’t wait, she will be anxious.
Leaving Cheng Yin’s house and crossing a road is where Xie Ying lives now.
Xie Ying took a shower, came out to talk to her grandparents, and then went back to their rooms.
After a while, Xie Ying saw from the balcony that the lights in the next room were off.
She sat at the desk for a while, staring at the lamp in a daze.
Ten minutes later, she suddenly made a decision, picked up her keys and schoolbag and sneaked out the door.
Binjiang Road at 10:30 perfectly interprets the four words “sexy dog and horse”, which is unreal and unreal.
Xie Ying found the boxing gym last time, stood at the door for a while, then turned around and went to the 24-hour convenience store across the street.
She bought a box of instant noodles, sat on the high stool, facing the door, and through the glass window, she happened to see the boxing gym opposite.
In the convenience store, people come and go, there are swaying **** girls, and men of various colors who are drunk.
The air was filled with the peculiar smell of convenience stores and the smell of alcohol.
Xie Ying took out the workbook and wrote the topics of the three chapters without distraction.
When I looked up again, it was twelve in the morning.
She rubbed her eyes and saw Cheng Sheng come out.
Surrounded by men and women obsessed with sensuality, Cheng Sheng was out of tune with them. He was alone with his bag on one shoulder and his head lowered.
Xie Ying stood up and wanted to look for him, but saw that he had already walked to the sidewalk and was walking towards him.
Xie Ying sat down again and packed her schoolbag.
The welcome speech at the door sounded, Cheng Sheng entered the door, did not see Xie Ying, went straight to the shelf, took a pack of Band-Aid and a mask.
He tore off the bandage while checking out.
After scanning Alipay, he walked to the glass window and put a Band-Aid on his head.
His cheeks were swollen and the corners of his mouth were cracked, and the Band-Aid could barely work.
It was posted, and when he looked down, he found a little girl standing by and watching him.
The two were silent for a while.
Thinking about it, Cheng Sheng opened his mouth and the first sentence was: “Don’t tell Cheng Yin.”
Xie Ying didn’t speak, turned around and went to the freezer to take out a sorbet, paid quickly and handed it to Cheng Sheng.
Cheng Sheng looked at her inexplicably.
“Apply it.”
Xie Ying said.
“No.” Cheng Sheng tore the wrapping paper of the mask, pinched it in his hand, and said, “Did you hear it? You are not allowed to tell Cheng Yin.”
Xie Ying lowered her eyes, for a long time, her hands were hidden in her sleeves and curled into fists.
She said, “Then you promise me one thing too.”
“What?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet, I’ll tell you when I think about it.”
Cheng Sheng glanced at her, put on the mask calmly, and left.
Xie Ying put on her schoolbag and walked out of the convenience store, but Cheng Sheng was nowhere to be seen.
She took a taxi home.
When the elevator door was about to close, one hand grabbed the door.
The elevator door slowly opened again.
“Mom? Why did you come back suddenly?”
Xie Ruxu did not answer, “Why did you come home so late?”
“I was playing at a friend’s house.” Xie Ying lowered her head and said, “I forgot the time to watch the movie.”
Although Xie Ruxu was surprised, she didn’t doubt it, she just said coldly, “Don’t go home after playing so late, do grandparents know?”
“They should be asleep.”
Speaking, we have arrived at the door.
When the door opened, Xie Ying asked again, “Mom, why are you back so late?”
Xie Ying’s mother opened a factory in the suburbs, where she usually eats and drinks, and seldom returns here.
“I lost my ID card, I’m going on a business trip tomorrow morning, I’ll come back and get the account book to do it…” Halfway through, Xie Ruxu felt that she didn’t need to explain so much to Xie Ying, and said impatiently , “Go to bed earlier, you have class on Monday tomorrow, let me know next time you play so late, don’t think about pocket money.”
Xie Ying said yes.
She went back to the room and changed into pajamas, a little unable to sleep.
The last time I saw my mother was the summer vacation.
Xie Ying walked out of her room and went to the next room, wanting to talk to Xie Ruxu for a while.
When I moved in last week, my grandparents said that this room should be used as a storage room, and Xie Ruxu would not come back anyway.
But Xie Ying insisted on making the bed, what if her mother came back but had nowhere to sleep.
She held the door handle, pushed open a crack, was about to call Xie Ruxu, but heard Xie Ruxu’s voice inside.
She squatted in front of the cabinet, rummaging through things and talking on the phone.
“You want to send your son abroad? What school?”
“That school is not very good. Since you want to go abroad, you must go to an Ivy League university.”
“Oh, and oh, me, my daughter doesn’t go abroad, her grades are so good, the top universities in the country are rushing to get better.”
“My daughter has been the number one since she was a child.”
“Oh, what education is not education, do you see me worrying about it? I don’t even have to go to the parent meeting. She is like this, and it is not worrying at all.”
“Summer vacations are sent to summer camps. Teachers take care of them. They go there for a few months, and they get prizes every time.”
“I don’t know if it’s her father or who she is, she has been sensible since she was a child, I really don’t lie to you, what kind of education method do I have, she takes care of herself, I never worry about it of.”
Xie Ying’s “mother” was stuck in her throat, and she closed the door softly, as if she had never been there.
On Monday morning, Chen Ran was already there when Cheng Yin arrived in the classroom.
She waved her hand slightly, “Morning.”
Chen Ran lifted his eyelids and said nothing.
Cheng Yin found a mousse cake on the table.
She immediately glanced at Chen Ran quietly.
“Thank you.”
Chen Ran raised his eyebrows and said, “Thank me for what?”
Cheng Yin picked up the cake and shook it, “This is it.”
Chen Ran gave her a deep look, “I didn’t buy it.”
“Huh?”
“Zhao Weilin gave it to you.” Nie Nan came over with a mop and said while mopping, “He heard that you had a bad stomach from eating expired cakes, so he said he would give it to you later when he was free. Bring fresh cakes.”
Cheng Yin snorted and cast a glance at Chen Ran, “I thought you bought it.”
When Nie Nan heard Cheng Yin’s words, he stretched out his hand and wanted to grab it, “Don’t want to eat it? Then give it to me, that guy Zhao Weilin looks stupid, but he was quite virtuous, I don’t think so. Anyone who likes cake thinks he does a good job.”
“Take your stinky hands away!” Cheng Yin protected the cake and walked in front of Xie Ying, “Come on, we are half of us… Why are your eyes swollen?”
Xie Ying looked away and said, “I didn’t sleep well last night.”
Although Cheng Yin is usually confused, but being friends with Xie Ying for so long, Cheng Yin can still keenly perceive her emotions.
“Oh…then do you want cake?”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Okay.”
Cheng Yin took the cake as her seat, but didn’t move.
“Aren’t you going to eat?”
Chen Ran asked.
Cheng Yin stuffed the cake into the drawer and said, “I’m not hungry.”
Chen Ran said “oh”, “The kindness of others, I’m sorry you don’t eat too much.”
“I know.” Cheng Yin said, “But I just ate it in the morning, and I can’t eat it. I’ll eat it later when I’m hungry.”
Chen Ran raised his legs, took out his mobile phone, and stopped talking.
The class was over, and the English teacher came in to show everyone a morning reading.
Cheng Yin saw Xie Ying read for a while and fell down, and didn’t get up until the end of the first get out of class.
Cheng Yin thought about it and went to the canteen to buy a bottle of Nutrition Express and a pack of beef jerky.
She stepped on the ready bell and came in, ran out of breath, and put things on Xie Ying’s table.
“Bought for you.”
These are Xie Ying’s favorite snacks, but today she just put them in the drawer, said “thank you”, and lay down again.
Cheng Yin stood beside him and asked, “Are you ill?”
Xie Ying shook her head.
Cheng Yin sat back in her seat silently, staring at Xie Ying’s back.
She suddenly thought of something, and said: “I saw the advertisement of the theater last night. There is a play about Happy Twist this week. Let’s take the test and watch it?”
Xie Ying ignored her.
The teacher just walked in and Cheng Yin stopped talking.
