Chapter 22: I can't hold it.

Yu Fan didn't talk to Chen Jingshen for two days in a row.

And, of course, no sleep.

And no cell phones.

Wang Luan observed him for two consecutive days and couldn't help but shake his head and lament, "Even Yu Fan has begun to listen to the lectures, so what qualifications do we have not to work hard?"

It's recess time, and Yu Fan is staring at the birds outside the window.

Sensitively noticing that the person beside him had turned a page in his book, Yu Fan immediately turned his head back, "Who said I was listening to the lecture?"

Wang Luan leaned on the back of Zhang Xianjing's chair, "You haven't played with your cell phone or slept in the past two days, so what are you doing if not listening to the class."

"Meditate."

"......"

Zhang Xianjing turned his head, "Wang Luan , didn't you say you were going to clean up your act in the next two weeks? Why are you still looking for people to play games in the group every night?"

"I'm trying to clean up my act, but math won't give me a chance. I can't do ten out of ten problems in my exercise book, and I can't even understand the solutions, so I should just drop out of school."

"It's not impossible."

"......"

After chatting for a few moments, Wang Luan's eyes glanced over to Chen Jingshen's side for an unknown number of times.

Finally, the man who had been working on the problem put down his pen, ready to reach for the water on the table.

Wang Luan snatched the water bottle! Then he unscrewed the cap for him in front of the astonished gazes of the others, and handed it to Chen Jingshen with both hands in a dogged manner.

"You drink, schoolteacher!"

Yu Fan: "?"

Zhang Xianjing: "......"

Chen Jingshen also paused for a moment, and it took two seconds before he reached for the water.

"Thanks." He said, "Something wrong?"

Wang Luan : "It's not really a big deal but since you've asked then I'll say it."

Chen Jingshen: "."

"It s like this Schoolboy, my dad played baseball, that hand ...... you know. If I don't do well on this midterm, the day of the parent-teacher conference will be the day I leave this world. Not only will I get beaten up, but I won't get any pocket money, and I'll probably get kicked out of the house."

Wang Luan paused and said tentatively, "Then I thought, I seem to have heard from others before, that is ...... your top ranked examination centers, the invigilator teacher seems to be not too strict?"

Zhang Xianjing : "What are you thinking Wang Luan , trying to get a school bully to cheat for you? Is it possible - but if it's really possible can you send me a copy by the way?"

Yu Fan: "......"

Dream on.

Chen Jingshen this kind of person, even like people peeping at his test paper, he would like to take ten bricks to cover the test paper, still want him to help you cheat?

"No." Chen Jingshen said.

Watch it.

Yu Fan turned his pen and grunted coldly.

Wang Luan wilted back, "Well, I'm actually just here to try my luck ......"

"But it can help you with the highlights."

"Huh?" Wang Luan froze.

"Can't read the questions, it should be that you chose the wrong exercise book." Chen Jingshen faintly said, "How many points did you score in math last time?"

Wang Luan : "Hey, I overachieved at my last final and got a full 61!"

"...... What kind of exercise book are you working on?"

"Higher and Better High School Math Ideas and Methods."

"......"

Ke Ting, who always listens in silence, couldn't help but turn around and whisper, "A lot of those are competition questions."

Zhang Xianjing : "What makes you think you deserve a tutorial with a name like that?"

Yu Fan wanted to ask the same thing.

"How do I know? I browsed around in the bookstore and thought the title was awesome, so I bought it." Wang Luan said, "So, School Master, what kind of exercise book do you think is suitable for me?"

Chen Jingshen: "Did you bring your last final exam paper?"

"Hey, I was afraid my dad would see it and beat me up again, so I never brought it home and kept it hidden at school over winter break."

"Bring it to me."

Chen Jingshen flipped through the paper roughly, then tore up a sticky note and wrote him the titles of a few exercise books.

Wang Luan took a look, his mouth read: "I grass school bully you word is really beautiful, let me see ......2017 high school must brush the question, high school mathematics knowledge point summary, stupid bird first fly evolution version 2017 ...... "

Yu Fan: "?"

What do you mean?

Why is he the evolved version?

Yu Fan's lips twitched for a moment, but in the end he said nothing and turned his head back to the window to watch the birds.

"Okay, I'll go back and buy it." Wang Luan said, "School master, how do you know about these exercise books?"

"Checked."

"And you're checking this? Were you bad at math before?"

Ke Ting thought to himself, "You wouldn't have asked that if you had paid more attention to the grade level rankings.

"No." After a long time, Chen Jingshen downplayed the situation, "Checked for someone else."

The bird spun around and flew away again. Yu Fan stared at the bare branch and tsked very softly.

-

On the way back from school, Yu Fan bought a wonton for free.

He's been a little too lazy to fire it up with the recent warming temperatures.

Back in the neighborhood, hearing the sound of mahjong inside the door, Yu Fan's expression changed slightly, and the action of pulling out the key stopped.

For a moment, sensing a gaze on his side, Yu Fan turned his head and met the gaze of the head poking out of the corner of the stairs above him.

The little girl, sitting on the steps, just poked her head out and was blinking her eyes at him.

Seeing Yu Fan suddenly lifting her leg and approaching her, she was a bit at a loss for words.

Yu Fan took two or three steps up the steps, then crouched down just like last time.

"What's it doing here?" He asked, glancing at the book bag behind the other man's back.

"Mommy and Daddy aren't ...... home yet." The little girl finished, and her stomach suddenly rumbled very softly.

She covered her stomach and blushed a little.

Yu Fan hmmm's and hooks her fingers, placing the ravioli next to her, "Eat."

After saying that, he got up and was ready to go down, when the corner of his coat was suddenly pulled by someone.

The little girl tilted her head to look at him, then turned her head again and looked at the door of Yu Fan's room.

Before she could say anything, Yu Fan suddenly raised his hand and casually rubbed it twice in her hair.

Then he drew himself up and went downstairs, unlocking the door with his key and entering the house.

Inside, several big men were playing mahjong around the table. When they heard the commotion and turned around, they met Yu Fan's cold face, and couldn't help but soften their movements and voices a bit.

Only Yu Kaiming, saw him and deliberately increased the volume.

Yu Fan went back to the house and locked the door as if he were a child, without any communication between father and son.

"Brother Ming, is this your son? He's quite handsome, but he's a bit fierce and doesn't call out when he enters the house. Did you have a fight or something?"

"You're meeting his son for the first time, aren't you?" The other man used to say, "That's the way his relationship with his son is, it hasn't been good."

"Don't bother with him, he's used to it." Yu Kaiming pushed his cards, "Draw!"

It wasn't long before the door to the room was opened again.

Yu Fan comes out of it, having changed his clothes, obviously having just taken a shower in it.

Yu Kaiming, with a cigarette in his mouth, swept him a glance, "Where are you going at night?"

Yu Fan ignored him and walked to the foyer to put on her shoes.

"I'm fucking talking to you." Yu Kaiming slapped the table.

Yu Fan opened the door to go out.

Yu Kaiming was so angry that he was about to curse, when he saw Yu Fan's movement out of the door suddenly stop, and then turned back to look over coldly-

"Yu Kaiming, let me remind you."

He said in a cool voice, "You move the door to my room one more time and I'll knock your front teeth out."

Yu Fan said, closed the door and left.

The room was silent for about ten seconds.

Yu Kaiming screwed out his cigarette and burst out, "Fuck, I'm not going to cut his mouth off today--"

"Don't don't don't!" The people next to him immediately came up to pull him, "A child is just talking nonsense, there's no need to bother with him ......"

"That's right, that's right, there's no need, come on, come on, keep playing cards."

Yu Kaiming didn't really dare to go after him, and after someone stopped him, he pretended for a while before sitting back down again.

"I tell you, Ming, there are many ways to cure children. I'll teach you, just stop his living expenses for ten days and half a month, and after a while he'll be sure to behave."

Yu Kaiming snorted and threw out the mahjong tiles, "Only a fool gives him living expenses."

"Huh?" The man froze, "You don't pay him? Then where does he get all his living expenses?"

Yu Kaiming exhaled a puff of smoke, "His grandfather and his mom left him some when they left."

"Sister ...... in law left so early? Is she sick, or what?"

Yu Kaiming's eyes instantly turned cold at the mention of this.

The man next to him whispered to him, "Nope, ran off with someone old-"

"Bah!" Yu Kaiming turned around, spat, and cursed, "Stinking female cousin! Just mentioning it is bad luck, son of a bitch ......"

"OK, OK, stop it. Why do you bring up all that crap? Let's play cards. Are we still playing?"

-

Yu Fan went to the little crappy internet cafe where he usually hangs out.

There weren't many people at the internet cafe this time, so he found a fairly comfortable couch and lay down to play the game for a while.

He picked a gun game. A game for a team of four, he had to be alone in a single row, jumping the most crowded place in the map, landing on the ground and lifting his gun to kill people, being surrounded by people to die, then restarting a game, venting like playing for an hour.

The character in the game went back and forth dying I don't know how many times when the cell phone resting on the table rang.

It's Wang Luan @ him in the discussion group.

There are not many people in this discussion group, they are the ones who often smoke and play cards together.

Wang Luan: @- Dude, are you at an internet cafe? Cool boy or what? I can't see your game online here.

Wang Luan: Fuck, I sent you ten messages in the game and you didn't reply to one of them? @-]

Yu Fan wiggled his fingers and replied, "I don't see it," and then threw a direct message to the group.

During the waiting time, he lay back on the couch and smoothly scratched up the chat.

Then flipping to an abrupt entry message--

[ Wang Luan invited s to join the group chat.]

?

Why did he bring Chen Jingshen into the group? A poker or cigarette date?

Yu Fan frowned and lazily typed the question again.

Chen Jingshen didn't say anything after entering the group. I think he came in and saw Zuo Kuan discussing where to go tomorrow, so he blocked the group.

[Wang Luan: Oh, I'm just asking, but no, I just bought the exercise book recommended by the schoolteacher, and I'm getting ready to put it together.]

Yu Fan didn't reply again. He threw his phone onto the table and continued to enter the game solo.

After another hour of fighting with others in the game, Yu Fan was just about to start the next game when Yu Guang glimpsed a group of people coming to the front desk.

The guys looked like a group coming to play a game, they were loud, and were ready to change stores when they heard that there were no connecting machines.

Yu Fan glanced at the few empty seats around him and got up to get off the plane.

The night breeze was slightly cool. At night this area of pedestrians gradually more and more, the street has set up a lot of late-night snack stores, white fog curls up, making this small street seem more crowded.

Yu Fan walks out the door of the Internet cafe, pulls out a cigarette in the corner next to it, and is about to light it--

"Woof-"

A suppressed whimper.

The sound was too close. Yu Fan, still keeping the action of lighting a cigarette on his hand, subconsciously turned his head and saw a Doberman running wildly towards him.

Du Binquan was wearing a metal muzzle, a leather collar, and a leash behind him. Yu Fan thought it looked familiar, and before he had time to react, the dog had rushed up next to him and then forcefully-

Rubbed up against his leg.

The gesture looked like it was going to bite him, and the person next to him screamed in terror.

Instead, the person in question didn't move a muscle, and hung his head for a moment to stare at the dog.

Yu Fan was rubbed back. He chewed on his unlit cigarette and looked up in a daze along the leash.

Then I saw Chen Jingshen, who was calm and collected, but holding the dog's leash with both hands, and being led by the dog for most of the way.

Looking at each other for a long time.

Chen Jingshen: "Can you do me a favor?"

Yu Fan: "......"

"I can't hold it."
