Chapter 30 It Can't Be a Love Letter! ?

A few days before the start of school, many parents of children in the town began to pack their luggage and prepare snacks for their children. Most of the children were traveling far for the first time, and the families wanted to pack all the things they had to prepare for the school year.

Dou Tianxiao accompanied his cousin to the shopping mall to pick out suitcases, and happened to meet Jiang Mama and Jiang Ran, who seemed to have just come out of the supermarket, carrying several bags of snacks and milk in their hands.

"Teacher Jiang." Ye Xi and Dou Tianxiao went up to say hello.

Jiang Qing turned her head and smiled, "Oh, what a coincidence, you guys are here to buy food too?"

"I'll accompany my brother to buy a suitcase and see if there are any snacks by the way." Dou Tianxiao chuckled.

Jiang Qing shared the plum cake she just bought with the two children, "Try it, it's hot."

"Thank you teacher." Dou Tianxiao couldn't wait to grab one and stuffed it into his mouth. He was scalded by the red bean paste and couldn't forget to praise, "It's delicious!"

"What a pig." Jiang Ran tore open a can of yogurt he just bought and handed it to him.

Jiang Qing asked with a smile, "Which school does Ye Xi go to when she starts school?"

Ye Xi reported the name of the school, and Jiang Qing raised her eyebrows, "It seems to be quite close to Jiang Ran's school. It will start in two days. Are your parents free to see you off?"

"I take the bus by myself." Ye Xi said.

"Hey, why don't you take the bus with so many things at the beginning of school?" Jiang Qing widened her eyes in surprise, "How about this? Anyway, we will send Ran Ran to school when the time comes, so let's go together."

"It's not very convenient..." Ye Xi scratched her head in embarrassment.

"What's the inconvenience? It's not too far away. It's settled. I'll say hello to you before we leave." Jiang Qing directly made the decision for him.

School registration was almost always on the same day. Dou Tianxiao got up from bed very early that day, planning to send Jiang Ran and his cousin off first, and then go to the school to report. Anyway, his school is close, so it doesn't matter if it is a little late.

While he was still washing in the bathroom, he heard a noisy sound downstairs, it should be that his uncle and aunt came back.

When he was going down the stairs, he heard Ye Xi complaining, "Hey, you don't need to bring milk or anything, you want to kill me hard."

"Why don't you bring it? Look at your thin bamboo pole. You don't have as much meat as your younger brother. Drink more milk to supplement your nutrition. Everything I buy for you is good, so don't waste it!" my aunt ordered.

Ye Xi: "I'm going to school and not to the mountains, so I can just buy whatever I want to eat and drink at the school."

"The things in school must be expensive, and you have just passed here, and you are not familiar with the place where you live. You must not know where the supermarket over there is. Where to buy it, I will prepare it for you first. You put it in the box and share with the dormitory. The new classmates share the food, do you know that you used to have a good relationship with them?" said the aunt.

Ye Xi sighed helplessly, "Oh, I see, I'm so annoying."

"You are annoying again! You are the most annoying in the whole family!" My aunt slapped him on the forehead, and when she turned her head and saw Dou Tianxiao, she immediately smiled, "Douzi is up, have you brushed your tooth yet?"

"It's done." Dou Tianxiao helped Ye Xi move the heavy suitcase into the grandfather's tricycle, and his aunt tried to bring the winter bedding with him, but Ye Xi stopped him.

"I'm going to study, not disaster relief! How can anyone wear a quilt in summer!" Ye Xi yelled at the top of his voice.

The family hurriedly packed their things, had a hasty breakfast, and then hurriedly set off for the bus station—they made an appointment with Jiang Qing to meet at the bus station last night.

Jiang Ran leaned on the co-driver's seat and chatted with his father. He saw a familiar tricycle from a distance, and immediately picked up a box under his feet and jumped out of the car.

While greeting Jiang Qing, my aunt moved things into the trunk of the car.

Dou Tianxiao saw Jiang Ran walking in front of him with a smile, so he grinned, "Brother."

"Well, I've prepared something for you." Jiang Ran handed over a small box in his arms.

The warm sunshine in the morning hit his body, as if covered with a layer of soft light, the black pupils were shining with light, and the end of the eyes drooped slightly, revealing a rare and gentle smile, which made people unable to look away.

"What?" Dou Tianxiao turned the box in his hand and found that it was quite heavy, like a drink or something, but the outer packaging didn't look like a drink.

"I have collected good things for three years." Jiang Ran knocked on the box and smiled brightly, "They are all out of print, you must see them when you go back."

When Dou Tianxiao heard this, he immediately thought of the game card, and couldn't wait to tear off the sealing tape, but Jiang Ran stopped him.

"Let's go back and see."

Dou Tianxiao glanced at the adults, put on a knowing expression, and nodded, "Don't worry! I will definitely read it!"

"Then sister, let's go first." Father Jiang said as he closed the trunk.

"Okay, okay, be careful all the way." Uncle and aunt waved towards the car, and Ye Xi lay at the window to say goodbye to his family.

No matter how annoying and nagging the family members are, once they see their reluctant eyes, they will only feel soft-hearted and reluctant.

Jiang Ran squeezed Dou Tianxiao's shoulder, "I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you when I'm free."

Dou Tianxiao let out an "um" and fell silent.

Jiang Ran's "empty" didn't know when it was, maybe a week, maybe a month, maybe a few months, but he knew very well that Jiang Ran would not move back again.

Suddenly, many childhood images flashed through his mind. He thought of Jiang Ran standing up for him on various occasions, teaching him to fight, fight back, protect himself, and when his mother left, getting married and having children. It was Jiang Ran who spent it with him. Although his comforting skills were not very good, at least he taught him to let go.

Jiang Ran is like a towering tree, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the green cover is like shade, blocking the storm for him and protecting him from sprouting. He used to think that Jiang Ran would be by his side for the rest of his life and grow up together. , grow old together.

But this big tree has to be moved elsewhere now.

From then on, he had to solve problems by himself, and he had nowhere to confide in when he was sad, and it was difficult to see the Jiang family in the small villa just two steps away from the noodle shop.

Will Jiang Ran meet new friends and forget him?

An indescribable anxiety and reluctance rolled over his chest like a huge wave.

"Brother." Dou Tianxiao suddenly stopped him.

"Huh?" Jiang Ran turned his head, one hand still resting on the doorknob.

Dou Tianxiao opened his arms and rushed over, and the two chests collided. Dou Tianxiao didn't care about the pedestrians passing by, so he hugged Jiang Ran tightly. He didn't know when he would see Jiang Ran next time. At some point, the eye sockets were also slightly reddened by the sad emotions.

Jiang Ran froze on the spot and didn't realize it, but he heard his mother laughing in the car, and she didn't know what she was talking about.

Dou Tianxiao heard it too, he turned his head a little shyly, his lips accidentally touched the skin of Jiang Ran's neck, his cheeks felt inexplicably hot.

Jiang Ran raised his hand and tightened his arms, stroking his back twice.

In childhood, I didn't care about similar hugs and touches. This kind of hug between teenagers and youth will make people's hearts warm.

Dou Tianxiao's bones are growing crazily. Through the thin fabric, one can feel his slightly protruding shoulder blades and ribs. Of course, one can also feel the heat of his chest and the gradually tightening muscles.

These were things he had never noticed before.

Dou Tianxiao whispered in Jiang Ran's ear: "You must come back... I will miss you." The second half of the voice was weak and weak.

The wide asphalt road was full of traffic and noisy. He felt that Jiang Ran might not be able to hear clearly, but it didn't matter, he didn't intend to let the other party hear him anyway.

Jiang Ran raised his hand and rubbed the back of his head, "I will miss you too."

When saying goodbye, Dou Tianxiao's eyes were sore and swollen.

After he went to the school to sign up, he couldn't wait to open the gift Jiang Ran left for him, only to find that it was all the textbooks and workbooks from the first to the third year of junior high school.

It felt like falling from heaven to hell.

"What is there to collect this kind of thing!" Dou Tianxiao roared in his heart.

What's more, before Ye Xi left, he also passed all the junior high school textbooks to him.

He is probably the first student in the world to own three sets of junior high school textbooks!

In Ye Xi’s textbook, there are only graffiti and dog crawling characters that he can understand. Dou Tianxiao sold the pile of things as scraps and bought popsicles after reading the "love triangle" comics between Du Fu, Li Bai and Meng Haoran. eat.

Jiang Ran's textbooks have been preserved intact, but they haven't been flipped much.

One night before going to bed, Dou Tianxiao casually flipped through Jiang Ran's previous English textbook to lull himself to sleep, but unexpectedly something shook out and fell under the bed.

He reached out to touch it and found that it was a heart folded from letter paper.

Dou Tianxiao's eyes widened suddenly, his mind was like a galloping horse, and he blurted out a long-lost swear word, "Damn it!"

Recently, the girls in the class often secretly write letters to the seniors they have a crush on, and he also knows some of them by ear - this kind of ambiguous little thing is called a love letter!

But he never thought that Jiang Ran would stack such things.

Obviously, the idea of ​​"Jiang Ran can fold love in a motherly way" has a stronger impact than the curiosity of "what did Jiang Ran write to me?"

The first reaction in his mind was that Jiang Ran was playing a prank, and then he recalled the sentence Jiang Ran said earnestly by pressing his shoulder before leaving, "Be sure to watch more."

Then the nerves of the whole person jumped up crazily.

A strange, subtle feeling spread silently.

It can't be a love letter! ?

Dou Tianxiao was at a loss as he held the palm-sized heart.

First of all, with Jiang Ran's personality, he probably doesn't know how to write love letters, most of them are blessings or something...

But what if it is really a love letter? !

Although the possibility of the latter is only one-tenth of a ten thousandth, Dou Tianxiao swallowed nervously.

It's still pink...

When he thought of Jiang Ran secretly going to the small shop to buy this kind of fancy letter paper and returning home concentrating on folding hearts, he couldn't help laughing.

But it might be that the other side of the table just wanted to come.

It should be so.

Dou Tianxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully opened the little pink love heart like an operation, for fear of accidentally breaking Jiang Ran's heart.

But this thing is very complicated to stack, Dou Tianxiao's palms are sweating, it feels like scratching a lottery ticket, and the first few digits correspond to the lottery results one by one lotto lottery.

Dou Tianxiao unfolded the letter paper, and before he had time to confirm whether the font came from Jiang Ran, he eagerly read it.

"Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, I've known you for nine years. I'm afraid that if I don't say something now, I won't have a chance to say it in the future. So please forgive my presumptuous behavior."

Dou Tianxiao vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he continued to read without thinking about it.

"I still remember the day when I first met you, the teacher arranged for us to be on duty together. There was not enough brooms in the class, so you cleaned up the dry area that I was responsible for. From that day on, I couldn't help it. Secretly following you."

Dou Tianxiao opened his mouth slightly and took a deep breath.

He finally knew what was wrong...

This is a fucking love letter to Jiang Ran!
