Chapter 9 Wisteria
Chapter 9 Wisteria
By the time Qin Ming finished correcting all the wrong sentences in the two compositions, it was already noon.
Fang Wenrui: "Well, this sentence should delete 'approximately' or 'about', and use two words to express an overview, and the repetition is cumbersome..."
Qin Ming crossed out "approximately", "Let's go out for dinner!"
Fang Wenrui looked at the time, nodded and said, "OK."
The two ate big wontons with shrimp and shepherd's purse at Qianlixiang downstairs.After a full meal, Qin Ming said mysteriously, "Take you somewhere!"
"Where?"
During the interrogation, Qin Ming dragged him to the bus stop.
Qin Ming took out two zoo tickets from his pocket.
"Is it a new zoo?"
Qin Ming grinned: "That's right, I won a lottery on Weibo a week ago. I reposted frantically for a while, and I didn't get anything. I didn't believe it. I turned to this zoo when I was bored last week. I won a lottery in the official blog, how lucky am I?"
Fang Wenrui couldn't help laughing, he was lucky, so why didn't he win the lottery before.
Qin Ming saw Fang Wenrui's thoughts, lowered his face and pinched his cheeks.
At this time, the bus came, Qin Ming let go, raised his eyebrows, and said in a high-spirited way: "Look, luck is good, the bus came without waiting."
Fang Wenrui's face was still slightly red where Qin Ming pinched it, and he swiped his card while getting in the car and echoed, "Good luck, good luck."
The zoo is not far away. After four stops, it takes five or six minutes to walk.
It coincides with the holiday and there are many tourists, but this zoo covers a large area, so it is not crowded.
Qin Ming was not very interested in small animals, but Fang Wenrui liked them very much. He gently stroked the elephant's long trunk. Qin Ming looked at him with deep eyes. He fed the golden monkey with cabbage leaves provided by the zoo. Qin Ming still watched he.
Suddenly, the uncle's yelling came from the side.
Only then did Qin Ming look away.The uncle supported a wooden frame with both hands, and the frame was covered with a variety of trinkets, animal pendants made of plastic, not precious, but exquisitely crafted, such as a snoozing sloth, a sly fox, and a poking hamster ... come to life.
Qin Ming glanced left and right, and picked out a little white rabbit gnawing carrots.
Although Fang Wenrui was teasing the little animals, he kept paying attention to Qin Ming, and found that Qin Ming walked to the stall and followed him.
Seeing him coming, Qin Ming quickly snatched his mobile phone, put the pendant on the string, and then slowly put the mobile phone back into his palm.
Fang Wenrui looked down at the half-dangling little white rabbit, the tips of its ears were slightly red.Like Qin Ming, he picked and picked carefully before taking down a big bad wolf with a wicked grin from the wooden frame.
Qin Ming took the initiative to hand the phone in front of him.
Fang Wenrui carefully passed the red wire through the small hole on the side of the fuselage.He was so cautious that the end of the thread failed several times.
"What do you mean by picking a big bad wolf for me?" Qin Ming took back the phone and shook it in front of him.
Fang Wenrui muttered in a low voice: "...No, it's nothing."
"The big bad wolf wants to eat the little white rabbit!" Qin Ming smiled.
Fang Wenrui didn't dare to look at him.
Qin Ming raised his eyebrows lightly: "Are you thirsty? I'm going to buy ice cream."
Qin Ming bought two ice creams, and bumped into a little boy as he was walking back.
"Are you all right, little brother?"
The little boy rubbed his forehead that was hurt by the impact, and looked up at the person who came, his aggrieved eyes suddenly lit up.
Qin Ming noticed that the little boy was staring at the ice cream in his hand without blinking his eyes.He suddenly had an idea, bent down, pointed to Fang Wenrui who was standing under the big tree in the distance, leaned into the little boy's ear and whispered: "Did you see that big brother in the light blue jacket?"
The little boy nodded and said innocently: "Well, that big brother is so beautiful!"
Qin Ming's mouth twitched unnaturally.
The little boy immediately said: "Big brother, don't be sad, you are very handsome!"
Qin Ming slowed down, and continued: "Go over and ask that big brother where the giraffe's garden is, okay?"
The little boy turned on the mini camera hanging around his neck and said to Qin Ming: "Brother, I have already seen a giraffe!" On the camera was a photo of the little boy and a baby giraffe.
Qin Ming was not in a hurry, he followed the temptation carefully: "Just ask, and I will give you a portion of the ice cream."
The little boy swallowed, fearing that Qin Ming would go back on his word, and agreed: "Okay, okay! Big brother, I want the light green one."
Fang Wenrui took advantage of Qin Ming’s spare time to read the news for a while, when a little boy suddenly tugged at the hem of his clothes, while licking a ball of matcha-flavored ice cream, he begged and asked, “Big brother, can you take me to see the giraffes?” ? I don't know how to go."
Fang Wenrui was startled, and after a few seconds, he said, "I...I'm also...not familiar with this place."
The little boy was a little disappointed.
Fang Wenrui couldn't bear it, and wanted to contact Qin Ming with his mobile phone if he couldn't find him when he came back, so he took the little boy to the staff of the zoo, "You... hello, excuse me, how can I get to the Giraffe Park?"
The staff enthusiastically showed the way, and Fang Wenrui finally took the little boy to the giraffe's visiting park.
The little boy had almost eaten the ice cream, and said sweetly, "Thank you, big brother!"
"No...you're welcome!" Fang Wenrui heaved a sigh of relief. After all, dealing with strangers is more stressful than communicating with acquaintances.He turned around and walked back, and met Qin Ming who had just followed secretly.
Against the light, he couldn't see the expression on Qin Ming's face clearly, but he felt that he was smiling, as if he was encouraging and affirming, and there was a wonderful power that made people feel at ease.Qin Ming walked towards him, and he also walked towards him, and then stopped tacitly.
Qin Ming handed the slightly melted ice cream to his mouth.
He hesitated, stuck out his tongue and licked it, sour and sweet, classic and authentic strawberry taste.
"This ice cream is freshly made. There are a lot of people waiting in line. The boss said that everyone can only buy one." Qin Ming explained without changing his face and heartbeat. The pink balls on top.
Fang Wenrui's face immediately burned hotly, and he deliberately lowered his head, but because of this tiny movement, he saw the light green cream on Qin Ming's other hand.
He seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing, wandering behind Qin Ming, licking a few mouthfuls of ice cream quickly with the hand he extended from time to time.
As the sun went down little by little, the moving shadow was dragged longer and longer, and finally disappeared. When we walked back to the bus stop sign, the setting sun could no longer be seen in the west, only a few touches of purple color remained.
Qin Ming kicked the small gravel on the sidewalk, and said casually: "You will come to my house tomorrow too? I haven't finished my English and Chinese homework yet, you have to be in charge of supervision!"
Fang Wenrui has never been able to refuse Qin Ming, and he is only reading books at home. He Wanqing has been worried that he has too little contact with his peers. This morning, he was very relieved when he learned that he was going to the classmate's house, and he himself was very happy. Enjoy the time with Qin Ming, no longer close your heart in a narrow and cold space, someone talks to him, and someone listens to him when he talks.
Before going to bed, he packed up the English and Chinese test papers, thinking that he might use them tomorrow, but when he went to Qin Ming's house the next morning, he found that Qin Ming hadn't focused on his homework at all.
"what is this?"
Qin Ming said succinctly: "The script. The script of the radio drama."
Fang Wenrui flipped through the A4 paper pinned with a paperclip in his hand, and the paper was neatly printed with small font size 5 in Song Dynasty. There were two people who had a lot of roles in the scene, and the dialogues were marked in blue and red respectively. Narration and scenes are in black.
"Do you know the catch circle?" After Qin Ming asked, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, don't mention this." A good student like Fang Wenrui must have never heard of such terms as online distribution and CV. "Wait, you just need to read the red words."
Fang Wenrui half understood, "That is, I want to read... the lines and inner monologue of this character named Ye Shuzhen?"
Qin Ming snapped his fingers, "Bingo! Just read it according to the script, it's very simple!"
"Then... how about you?"
Qin Ming took it for granted, "Me? Of course it's Yang Chen! As for the narration and narration, just ignore it. Anyway, there are not many words, and there are not many scenes with my opponent. You just need to match Ye Shuzhen well."
Fang Wenrui glanced at the script again, there were so many scarlet letters on the script, "What's the use of reading this?"
"It's a bit cumbersome to explain, so just accompany me to find a sense of drama." Qin Ming smiled and turned on a piece of light music.
Fang Wenrui gave a soft "oh", looked down at the script carefully, a suspicious light pink appeared on his cheeks, did he really want to read out such embarrassing words? "I...I feel that I have become a little strange recently, I seem to... have someone I like, the same school uniform, the same class, the same age, but...other than that, nothing seems to be the same. I... am very quiet, but he is noisy, like... seems to belong to two worlds..."
After reading the monologue, Fang Wenrui unnaturally tightened the A4 paper in his hand and let out a long breath.Qin Ming smiled imperceptibly, and said in a low voice, "Do you think this is the first time I've carried someone else?"
Ye Shuzhen accidentally broke his foot while playing football, Yang Chen carried him back to the dormitory.Both sides of the campus path are covered with wisterias, and the purple flower spikes hang down in the air, and the cool wind blows, rustling.The rich aroma permeated the air, and even the whirling dust seemed to be dyed lavender.
Just imagining that scene, Fang Wenrui's heartbeat stalled, "I don't know, is it...?"
Qin Ming said calmly, "No."
"……Oh."
Entering the chorus, the melody is melodious and lyrical.Qin Ming slightly raised his voice: "At the junior high school graduation party, you drank too much, and later, I carried you back. You are good, you slept on my back until your saliva flowed down, and you forgot about it afterwards. "
"That time? Ah, I... I didn't forget on purpose."
Qin Ming's gaze signaled Fang Wenrui to continue, only then did Fang Wenrui realize that he hadn't finished his lines, "Yang Chen, can I...can I ask you a question? If you find it annoying, you can...don't answer. Well, you...do you like it?" Is there anyone?"
"Have."
Even though he knew that Qin Ming was reading his lines, Fang Wenrui felt a little awkward in his heart, "...can I ask you another question?"
Qin Ming answered very simply: "Yes."
"Is that person... nice to you?"
"very good."
"That's good."
……
"Is it fun?" Qin Ming simply tidied up the desk.
Fang Wenrui nodded.
"You read your lines much more smoothly later on."
Fang Wenrui blinked: "Is there?"
"Really." Qin Ming picked up the phone, "Shall we order takeaway for lunch? What do you want to eat?"
"I also can."
"Then I'll order two sets of braised chicken and rice." Qin Ming said while placing an order.
When the doorbell rang, Qin Ming was in the kitchen messing with He Wanqing's dried pickles. Seeing that he was busy, Fang Wenrui went to open the door. He thought it was a delivery guy, but unexpectedly when the door opened, he was hugged, "Xiao Mingming, want to Am I gone?"
Fang Wenrui froze, not knowing what was going on.
Qin Ming poked his head out of the kitchen when he heard the commotion, saw the person hugging Fang Wenrui and said in a daze, "Mom?"
Shen Ru now realized that she hugged the wrong person, and backed away slightly, "Ah, Auntie got the wrong person! I'm sorry."
Fang Wenrui shook his head quickly, "It's all right." Then he said politely: "Hello, Auntie, I'm Qin Ming's deskmate..."
"Xiao Rui, right? Qin Ming often mentioned you when we called me, saying that you helped him a lot. His Chinese score in the last monthly test was all thanks to you, and he improved a lot."
Fang Wenrui didn't expect Qin Ming to mention himself in front of his parents. He was pleasantly surprised and shy at the same time, "No, it's actually all due to Qin Ming...his own efforts."
The boy lowered his head shyly, his eyelids were half down, and his attitude was humble. The more Shen Ru looked at it, the happier he became, especially when compared with his own son, it was hard to tell which was better——
"Mom, why did you come back suddenly? Did you quarrel with Dad? Are you going to separate rooms?"
Shen Ru dragged the trolley case into the living room, "I'm too lazy to argue with that old man!" She changed her high-heeled shoes and said slowly: "The school sent a text message to inform that there will be a parent-teacher meeting next Monday. Teacher Liu called me yesterday. On the phone, I specially praised you a few words, saying that you have been writing your homework more and more seriously recently, and you can memorize ancient poems and essays by heart. I was thinking that my son would not be ill, so I was really worried and rushed back."
Qin Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, can't you say something nicer? I'm still at the same table."
"Afraid of losing face?" Shen Ru cast a sideways glance at Qin Ming, "I really doubt if you are my own son!"
Qin Mingxin slandered: I was also wondering if you were my real mother, but he said politely: "Don't think about it, my deskmate has such good grades, every time I hand out the test papers and read his scores, I get so angry." Qing, I was so angry, I thought that one day it would be the other way around, and it would be fine if I became angry with him, so why not just work hard!"
"I can't thank you very much, I'm still here with a glib tongue and no seriousness!"
"Why don't I invite him to my house to play?"
"Auntie...Actually, I...are always taken care of by Qin Ming."
Shen Ru said kindly: "Qin Ming, he can't take care of himself. In short, if he bullies you, don't bear it, tell the class teacher, if he still doesn't change his bad temper, tell auntie..."
Qin Ming complained in his heart, it was too late for him to spoil Fang Wenrui, how could he bully him.
The takeaway arrived at this time, Shen Ru shook her head disapprovingly, and scolded Qin Ming: "How can you order takeaway, it's neither nutritious nor hygienic!"
I still didn't eat takeaway for lunch.
Shen Ru went to a nearby supermarket to buy some food.
Fang Wenrui felt ashamed, Qin Ming's mother had just gotten off the plane and hadn't had a good rest yet and wanted to cook for them.
Qin Ming understood his thoughts, "Don't feel troublesome, my mother is willing to make troubles. Besides, if she doesn't start the fire, she will forget how to cook! I'll go to the kitchen to see!"
Qin Ming sneaked into the kitchen and pretended to help peel cucumbers.
Shen Ru thought he was in the way, "Go, go, go with your classmate."
Qin Ming picked off the moth spots on the cucumber, and asked casually, "Mom, do you like Wen Xiaorui very much?"
Shen Ru poured some soy sauce into the pot, and white water vapor immediately evaporated on the pot surface, accompanied by a hissing sound. "He is sensible and polite, well-behaved and studious, of course he is likable."
Qin Ming put the cucumber on the cutting board, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he said meaningfully: "Yes, I like him too."
