Chapter 5 4. Hello Jay Chou

Just for a moment, the discussions on those seemingly advanced topics just now ended here, and ended in a muddle, just like Chen Jianxia's tears. She leaned over and smiled at him, and he also raised his head to show his little canine teeth. At this moment, I just realized how ridiculous it is to show my fangs and claws because of that inexplicable question. "But you were really silly just now." Jian Xia still made a concluding statement, she took out a tissue to wipe her tears and blow her nose, with a relaxed tone. Li Ran shrugged, "I just feel disgusted when I hear the word first class."

Seeing Xia puzzled, "Why?" "No reason." So she didn't ask.Although Chen Jianxia is not sociable, he knows the art of accepting when he sees a deal.Half of this good habit is out of respect, and half is because you don't want to be annoying.Although she was not popular in junior high school, but this is Zhenhua, Chen Jianxia is full of hope to be accepted and liked. Maybe Li Ran wanted to get into the first class but couldn't, so he couldn't eat grapes and said grapes were sour; maybe he just had a prejudice against top students, just like many junior high school students were hostile to Jian Xia back then.

However, Chen Jianxia didn't have the heart to put these messy speculations secretly on this clean and big boy in front of him, even though the other party just made him cry. "Listen to music?" Li Ran picked up the chair that was lying on the ground, and pulled out the SONY CD player from the school bag as if nothing had happened. The silver-white body refracted the sunlight, and it was a bit dazzling when it flickered. SONY's CD player is the same as the one I saw in the first department store a few days ago. Jian Xia stared at the machine in a daze. When Chen Jianxia was in the first grade of junior high school, every time she turned on the TV, she could see advertisements for various repeaters. She always wanted a backgammon repeater to learn foreign languages.However, my mother always said that the old Aihua Walkman at home was enough. Anyway, I listened to English tapes, and I could do it myself, just rewind and turn it over. Why use a repeater.

Chen Jianxia sometimes has the urge to say something loudly, "My brother doesn't use Wenquxing to study at all, he just uses it to play that RPG game of Heroes, don't you still buy it for him, but the price of the repeater It’s not half as expensive as Wenquxing…” But he couldn't say it. Later, when she was admitted to Zhenhua, her mother praised Chen Jianxia greatly in front of her relatives and friends, "My Xiaoxia used the worn-out Walkman I bought several years ago to learn English in junior high school, and she still scored 119 points in the English test of the senior high school entrance examination, just one point short of a perfect score! So you also tell your family Dongdong, don't be willful, this academic performance is not a pile of material conditions, the important thing is to work hard!"

It seems that in an instant, she has transformed into an expert who is enthusiastic about children's education. She has a far-sighted vision, devoted all her energy and thoughtfulness, and planned to cultivate an excellent and simple Chen Jianxia. Chen Jianxia lowered his head under the admiring gazes of other parents, and he couldn't tell whether he was proud or wronged. Later, my father suggested that before going to the provincial capital to study high school, I should buy a decent gift for my daughter.Mom said casually, "Then buy her a backgammon repeater, anyway, she always wanted it", Chen Jianxia was suddenly annoyed by her casual tone, and impulsively shouted, "I don't want it!"

Parents were shocked by the yelling, and Chen Jianxia regretted it when he calmed down, paused and said again in a soothing tone, "I want SONY's CD player, I saw it at a department store last time, is that okay?" The most fashionable girl in the junior high school class also bought that CD player before the high school entrance examination. No matter how sensible and "not vain" Jian Xia is, she is still envious of Xia. What's more, her longing for the CD player is accompanied by some inexplicable resentment caused by the repeater. Dad didn't know about SONY or CDs, he just nodded and said, okay, let's buy it, can you buy it with your mother tomorrow at 100?

However, in front of the counter the next day, my mother glanced at the price tag, the muscles at the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she smiled reluctantly and asked, "Xiao Xia, is this what you're talking about? This thing is really useful for learning." ?" The lady at the counter bombarded her passionately without knowing it. Chen Jianxia followed her mother's subtle expression from the corner of her eyes until she turned her head and said with a smile, "Xiao Xia, do you really want it?" Chen Jianxia lowered his head and stared at his toes, raised his eyes and smiled after a while, "I don't really want it that much, or forget it, let's go to another place."

The lady at the counter turned cold, and her mother took Chen Jianxia's hand and turned to leave, smiling very relieved. "See if there is anything else you like. Let's go home tonight and your dad and I will cook something delicious for you." "Hey, what are you thinking?" He was elbowed and woke up only after seeing Xia, and he didn't know how long he had been there. "Here, here you are." He handed over a strange-looking earphone, which was a cookie-sized, flat hemisphere with a plastic semi-ring hanging on the side.It was the first time for Chen Jianxia to see this type of earphone, and he was a little at a loss. He put it in his hand and studied it for a while, then looked up and saw that Li Ran had easily hung the other earphone on his left ear.

"This..." She was still hesitating, but Li Ran snatched the earphone over, broke off the plastic half ring and hung it on her right ear, and buckled the half ball on the ear. Chen Jianxia lowered her head in surprise, and when she buckled the earphones, his thumb pressed against her earlobe, it was very soft, itchy, as if it was an illusion, but she felt the temperature spread from the earlobe to her cheeks and neck, burning Get hot. You don't need to look in the mirror to know that you must be blushing. How could this boy be so courageous and act so naturally. Chen Jianxia was restless, but the instigator had already started fiddling with the buttons as if nothing had happened.

While she was thinking wildly, a prelude with a weird sense of beauty sounded. It was a song that Chen Jianxia had never heard before. It couldn’t be described as weird, but it was surprisingly pleasant to the ear, and the harmony was very special; it’s a pity that I didn’t know which language it was sung in. It seemed that there was an unclear sentence in it, “Everything happens again. ", which proves that this is a Chinese song, but I can't even hear a word of the others. Jian Xia wondered if the singer bit his tongue. After a short gap after the song ended, she turned her face and asked, "Whose song is this?"

Li Ran didn't raise his head, "Jay Chou." Jian Xia was puzzled, "Who is Jay Chou?" After she finished speaking, she felt a little nervous, she didn't want to hear Li Ran throw out a sentence similar to "You don't even know Jay Chou? Can you be more earthy?" Li Ran was still tossing the scratches on the CD player, trying to use various methods to wipe the remedy. At the same time, he patiently said to Chen Jianxia, ​​"A musician in Taiwan wrote songs by himself, Fang Wenshan wrote lyrics for him, and released three albums. Lisp, great style, I like it, he's been very popular lately." Chen Jianxia breathed a sigh of relief, and even looked gratefully at Li Ran who was focusing on repairing the CD player, but the other party didn't realize it. She knew that she was a nerd, and she wasn't really stupid, but she didn't have a chance to learn about the entertainment industry that her classmates cared about the most. The less she knew, the more she resisted. Li Ran absent-mindedly introduced her to the appearance of the popular idol, making Jianxia relax and comfortable.Every short sentence he used to describe Jay Chou was engraved in her heart. Jay Chou. Somehow, she decided to like the singer. The warm sunlight evenly sprinkled on them, Jian Xia gave one ear to Jay Chou, and the other ear caught the distant noise outside the window, but he could still clearly hear the breathing of the boy beside him.It was the first time in her life that she felt the fresh vitality of a boy so close, right on her right. Focused, naughty, moody, carefree, straightforward, yet gentle. Like a tender beast in its infancy. Jian Xia curled the corner of his mouth.She didn't know when she had left those outstanding classmates and the preliminary exam behind her. She just listened to the song intently and looked at the classmates under the scorching sun outside the window, like a painting frozen in time. Li Ran finally stopped repairing the CD player and angrily cursed "Fuck". Jian Xia tilted her head and smiled, pointing to the machine and said, "I like this one, it's so pretty." Li Ran weighed it nonchalantly, "You girls like good-looking ones, it's really vulgar." Seeing Xia Canlan smile, "You are also very good-looking." Then the other party turned her head and stared at her as if seeing a ghost, which made her pull her chair to the left in fright. One was timid, and the other frowned with a fierce look on his face. They remained in a stalemate until Li Ran let out a long sigh. "Are you schizophrenic?" "what?" "At one moment, she shyly pretended to be quiet, and at another moment she was excited and dared to say anything. Really." Seeing Xia bowed her head, she also felt that what she said just now was very bold, and she became a little annoyed. "However, I also think I'm pretty handsome." He grinned again, with white canine teeth and bright squinting eyes. "You like this one?" Seemingly noticing Jian Xia's embarrassment, Li Ran began to bring the topic to the CD player. "Yes," Jian Xia agreed quickly, then thought about his "true vulgar" evaluation just now, and smiled again, "Of course I don't like it that much..." "Then send you off." Jian Xia's mouth opened into an O shape again. "It's not mine. I sent it for repair. My cousin lent it to me. In fact, I don't need to pay it back. Anyway, she has a new one. Besides, I scratched it when I fell down today," he pointed at Play There is a small scratch about a finger long next to the key, "You don't know her, princess disease, as long as there is a little flaw in such a good thing, she will definitely scream and throw it downstairs. I'm not exaggerating. She has this temper since childhood. I'm used to it, anyway, he has money. If you like this, you can take it, anyway, I don't know how to use this girl's style." He said a lot in a hurry, as if the rhetoric had been thought out in advance, fluent and unresistable. "But...why?" "what why?" "Why casually send such a valuable thing to a stranger who doesn't know each other?" Li Ran was very surprised, "Otherwise I don't know who to give it to. It's better than wasting it. Since you like it, just take it. Why are there so many?" Seeing Xia's absurd boldness at that moment, she took the CD and said, "Thank you, then I won't be polite." This time Li Ran was stunned. "Why, regret it again?" "No," he scratched his head, "I've never seen you so straightforward. Just now you have been moping, so I thought you would continue to refuse endlessly." Chen Jianxia gently stroked the frosted fuselage in his hand, and found a symbol engraved on the back, like a flower. She has never been a petty person.Even if she was, she would not show it so generously and decisively in front of strangers like she is now. I really can't explain this move. Maybe anyone will do something unbelievable. "Your family is rich?" She raised her head and asked bluntly. Li Ran thought for a while and said sincerely, "No, but I can only say... I don't lack money in the five elements." This expression is more than rich. "I'll give you the "Fantasy" inside too. I didn't bring a CD case, so you can buy a CD case by yourself." "But isn't this your favorite CD?" "This CD doesn't belong to me either. It's...it belongs to my sister, yes, my sister's, she doesn't listen to it anymore. I still have one in my hand." Jian Xia thought for a while, "Thank you sister for helping me." Li Ran curled his lips slightly, and gave a vague "huh". "I've actually wanted this CD for a long time," she said honestly, "but..." "Buy it if you want it, this one is not expensive..." After Li Ran finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue and smiled embarrassedly, "I, I didn't mean that, I'm sorry." Jian Xia shook her head, "No, my family may not be as big as your sister's... but it's definitely not difficult. But..." She didn't continue, "Thank you anyway. Me, am I going too far?" "Giving good things to those who need them should be better than being thrown into the cabinet to collect ashes. Why do you always think so much? Are you tired? You'll be bald when you get old!" He reached out and knocked on her forehead. Chen Jianxia raised his head and met Li Ran's magnanimous gaze.For some reason, the cautious and humble camouflage she had just entered Zhenhua peeled off little by little in front of this boy, and the heart she had been carrying all the way fell back into her chest little by little. "Chen Jianxia!" "See Xia, I have something to do with you!" Just as he was about to say something, he heard a knock on the door behind him. Chen Jianxia heard that the people speaking outside the door should be the monitors Chu Tiankuo and Yu Sisi. She glanced at Li Ran in a panic. She forgot the time when she listened to the song just now, but now she was very nervous when she thought about being lazy with a strange boy and not doing military training. Knocking on the door was just a courtesy, and soon the doorknob was unscrewed, and it was Yu Sisi who came in with her head in. "See Xia, our Teacher Yu said..." Halfway through Yu Sisi's speech, her smile stopped stiffly. Jian Xia heard Li Ran who was beside him humming contemptuously. Yu Sisi finished speaking expressionlessly, "Ms. Yu heard that you fainted. She asked us to ask if you are well. She happened to have something to tell the monitor and us two." Chu Tiankuo walked in at this time.Chen Jianxia's eyes lit up. From the time Teacher Yu announced the name of the substitute squad leader in front of the phalanx this morning, she only saw the back of his head. Although he was a lifesaver, in the infirmary just now, she was dazed when facing the boy in the backlight. see clearly. Chu Tiankuo was indeed a very handsome boy, with fair skin, handsome eyebrows, and extraordinary temperament. He glanced at the wrapping paper and the empty milk carton on the table, "Are you full?" Chen Jianxia smiled gratefully, "Thank you monitor, Yu Sisi said that you bought it for me specially, please trouble me. I'm fine now, let's go find Teacher Yu together." Yu Sisi had already turned her head and went out.Chen Jianxia took two steps, then suddenly turned around and ran back to throw the milk cartons and other garbage on the table into the wastebasket, then hugged the CD player in his arms, and mouthed a thank you to Li Ran. Li Ran was leaning on the table and looking at the dead fish eyes. "You have to give me back the earphones, which I didn't say to you," he said loudly.
