TMISIU- chapter 14

Jiang Cheng was sitting on the edge of the bed playing mobile games.

Seeing Lan Zhan coming in, he hid his phone in the quilt and complained: “Zhan ge, why are you back so late today.”

Lan Zhan didn’t answer him. Instead, he set the table beside the bed and put the dinner plate on the table: “Eat the meal.”

Jiang Cheng frowned, “I feel sick and can’t eat.”

Before, Gu Yihan came several times to ask him to eat but he just didn’t want to eat. Gu Yihan couldn’t persuade him either.

“Why is it uncomfortable?” Lan Zhan asked him.

Jiang Cheng was silent for a while before saying: “I saw Jiang Fengmian’s new lover again. In order to please me, she came to the school to give me something in the afternoon. Zhan ge, that woman looks very much like my mother. I really feel sick and nauseous.”

Lan Zhan looked at him silently.

Jiang Cheng knew that Lan Zhan would never talk to him about Cangse Sanren and he also vaguely felt that Lan Zhan didn’t like his mother, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He wanted to vent:

“Now I see people who look like my mother, of course I feel uncomfortable. Do you know, when I first met Wei Ying, I was thinking about how there would be someone who looks like my mother, especially those eyes, they are so alike. I suddenly remembered a dream I had before, dreaming that I was not a child of my mother, and you all left me behind.”

Jiang Cheng’s eyes were a little red at the end.

His grandparents and Mother Gu seldom mentioned his mother in front of him, so he never knew how disappointed they would be that he was not like Cangse Sanren.

Not only did he not look like Cangse Sanren, but he also did not have Cangse Sanren’s talent for drawing and writing.

He also wanted to work hard to learn to paint. When he was a child, the teacher asked about his dream. He always said that he wanted to be a painter like his mother.

But he really didn’t have this talent, and later he simply stopped drawing because of anger.

They wouldn’t blame him, and would instead coax him.

But he still felt uncomfortable.

Jiang Cheng raised his head to look at Lan Zhan and said, “Zhan ge, every time I see you talking to Wei Ying, I think of that dream and I can’t help but feel uncomfortable.”

He hoped that Lan Zhan could say something to comfort him, but he listened to Lan Zhan calmly replied: “You can’t make yourself uncomfortable and be hostile to someone who hasn’t hurt you just because of a dream.”

Jiang Cheng was taken aback. He was so sad, but Lan Zhan was so indifferent.

He couldn’t help but slapped the table angrily, the chopsticks on the plate rolled, and he said loudly:

“It is obvious that Wei Ying was hostile to me first! Zhan ge, we have grown up together since childhood. You have only known him for a few days, but you’re speaking for him!”

He didn’t know why he was so wary of Wei Ying. It seemed to be an instinct, a self-protection instinct, as if this person meant danger to him.

And he obviously felt that the way Lan Zhan treated Wei Ying was slightly different from others, which made him nervous and frightened for no reason, as if it was a sign that he was about to be taken away.

Lan Zhan frowned, his voice suddenly becoming heavy, “Jiang Cheng.”

Jiang Cheng was stunned. He knew that whenever Lan Zhan called his full name, it meant that he was really angry.

And he was afraid of Lan Zhan who was angry.

Jiang Cheng had to lower his head and awkwardly shut up.

“Eat first. You’ve grown up. Your mother definitely doesn’t want you to be like this.”

Lan Zhan picked up the chopsticks from the dinner plate and handed it to Jiang Cheng.

Like every time he used to deal with Jiang Cheng’s temper, Jiang Cheng would most likely be obedient as long as he mention his mother Cangse Sanren.

Jiang Cheng took the chopsticks from Lan Zhan in silence, bowed his head and started to eat.

He could be wilful, but he couldn’t wrong the mother who gave her life to give birth.

Lan Zhan looked at him taking a few bites before turning around and leaving the room.

Gu Yihan, who was standing quietly outside, was relieved when she saw Jiang Cheng eating.

The mother and son left Jiang Cheng’s room silently.

When they arrived in the living room, Gu Yihan asked: “What is the matter with Wei Ying and A-Cheng? Why does A-Cheng hate him so much?”

She only listened halfway and didn’t hear Jiang Cheng’s words before.

Lan Zhan knew that Gu Yihan had eavesdropped, so he replied perfunctorily: “It’s nothing.”

He paused, and his tone became calmer, “Are you all going to spoil him until he reaches adulthood?”

Except in front of him, Jiang Cheng almost did whatever he wanted, having the family playing with his temper, coaxing him back and forth.

Gu Yihan was startled and sighed: “He is not in good health. He hasn’t had a mother since he was a child. Dad… it’s better for him not to have one. We should always love him a little bit and treat him a little better.”

Lan Zhan frowned, not wanting to listen to this set of words that had been said countless times.

---

Wei Ying had been thinking about how to treat Lan Zhan well before going to bed at night, and after thinking about it, he felt more and more useless.

Lan Zhan lacked nothing, and he lacked everything.

He thought, maybe he should ask someone who understood this.

There was a vacant seat in the class the next day.

Wei Ying knew only after hearing students talk that Chen Zhouxuan seemed to be transferring schools for unknown reasons, while Feng Qiwu and Yang Neng were criticized by school leaders and punished.

In fact, the three girl apologized yesterday, but Wei Ying did not accept it.

He was not an open-minded person.

Wei Ying didn’t rest assured, he only had learning and Lan Zhan in his eyes. Among the two, Lan Zhan was more important than learning.

“Do you need help fetching water?” Wei Ying glanced at Lan Zhan’s bottle that only had half of water left during the morning break.

He blinked as he asked.

“No need to.”

“Oh.”

Wei Ying picked up Lan Zhan’s water bottle and walked to the drinking room without looking back.

He discovered that Lan Zhan often denied it habitually, not really because of not wanting it.

Wei Ying filled Lan Zhan’s water bottle with water and returned to his seat, put it on Lan Zhan’s desk, and said with a smile, “You’re welcome.”

“…”

Lan Zhan lowered his head and turned the next page.

Wei Ying looked at Lan Zhan, but fell into thought again.

Could it be that he was only a little water-fetching brother, no other use?

It was impossible for him to talk to Lan Zhan during class. After class, he was different from Lan Zhan.

Not to mention, there was always an annoying Jiang Cheng next to Lan Zhan.

Study? He himself needed to be tutored by Lan Zhan.

Life? He himself was the target of poverty alleviation.

Wei Ying put his head on his arm and tilted his head to look at Lan Zhan’s side in a daze.

After thinking for a while, he still didn’t figure out what he could do for Lan Zhan.

He decided to ask someone. Just when he was about to withdraw his gaze, he suddenly realized that Lan Zhan’s ear tips seemed a little red?

The autumn in September was indeed a hot, but there was air conditioning in the classroom.

Wei Ying thought for a while and asked empathetically, “Do I need to lower the temperature of the air conditioner? You seem to be a little hot.”

As a result, Lan Zhan didn’t say anything, but stood up and walked out of the classroom.

Wei Ying was stunned, wondering what happened to Lan Zhan.

In an attitude of eagerness for knowledge, the first one to find was the most familiar Nei Huaisang.

“How to be nice to someone? It’s not easy. Help her with her English homework, buy her ice cream in summer, buy her hot milk tea in winter, play basketball to make her happy, and pour her a cup of hot water if she feels sick… “

Nei Huaisang kept teaching his own experience of chasing Luo Qingyang without realizing that this experience was unsuccessful.

Wei Ying thought his brain must have been bump in the door before asking Nei Huaisang.

After the club activities on Sunday, Wei Ying packed up his painting tools and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Lusi.

“Xue di, let’s have a meal together at noon.”

Wei Ying looked at Zhou Lusi’s smiling face, and the strange feeling in his heart came out again.

He always felt that Zhou Lusi looked at him like a medical student looking at a white mouse, full of indescribable research desire.

He thought of the self-review given to Lan Zhan and immediately refused: “I eat very casually at noon. Xue jie, you must not be used to it.”

Zhou Lusi did not give up, and said in a good manner: “I also eat casually. If you want to eat noodles, I also can eat it. Don’t be nervous, it is a tradition in our club that the president and the member to have a heart-to-heart talk. You didn’t come to the last club dinner, so I must make it up for you.”

Wei Ying was still hesitating, but he listened to Zhou Lusi’s self-promotion: “If you don’t understand anything, you can ask me; study, life and even personal emotions. I can satisfy you with all these questions. “

Wei Ying was moved.

He did have very important questions to ask, and Zhou Lusi was not in his class, which made him very relieved.

In a cheap roadside noodle restaurant, after Zhou Lusi talked about her few fans, she put down the chopsticks and stretched out her two hands.

She counted her fingers and said leisurely.

“You really found the right person for this question. I have had ten boyfriends since elementary school. The current boyfriend is in his second year at Gusu University School of Medicine.”

Wei Ying was a little puzzled. He just asked how to treat someone nicely. What did it have to do with Zhou Lusi and her boyfriend?

Seeing Wei Ying’s face blank, Zhou Lusi thought that the silly boy hadn’t been in love, so she said: “You have someone you like, do you want to chase her?”

Wei Ying was startled.

That was right, he came here all the way from Yanping County because he liked Lan Zhan.

“Yes, I want someone.” Wei Ying’s tone was calm but his eyes were firm.

Zhou Lusi’s chopsticks fell into the bowl. She looked at Wei Ying in shock, thinking that she might be wrong.

Want someone, no matter how you hear this sentence… it was a bit too explicit, and there was even a bit of affection in that respect, but the person who said this sentence actually asked her a naive question on how to be kind to someone with a simple expression on his face.

Zhou Lusi considered it and asked, “What kind of person is she?”

Wei Ying was holding a bowl of noodles, and his eyes lighted up: “He is very good, has a very good grades, looks good, treats people well, kind and has a sense of justice. There is no better person in the world than him!”

Zhou Lusi was flashed by the light in Wei Ying’s eyes, that kind of passion that put the sweetheart on the tip of their heart, the passion to give everything that she had never experienced from ten boyfriends.

She couldn’t help but say sourly: “There is no perfect person in the world.”

“No, he is a perfect person.” Wei Ying retorted.

Zhou Lusi choked and said, “Then such a person is very difficult to chase. If she’s as good as you said, there will be many people who like her.”

The light in Wei Ying’s eyes dimmed: “That’s right, and he has a cold personality and doesn’t like to talk. I don’t know how to get closer to him.”

He paused, as if thinking of something, his tone was even more lost: “In addition, he has a very good friend.”

Zhou Lusi wondered: “What does her having a good friend has to do with you chasing her?“

Wei Ying was stunned. It was difficult for him to explain this to Zhou Lusi, so he frankly said: “Their relationship is so good, I can’t help being jealous of that friend.”

Zhou Lusi couldn’t figure it out again, why would anyone be jealous of his sweetheart and the best friend?

She thought for a while and said, “Why do you need to be jealous? If you like someone, you want to fall in love with her, kiss, make love, or even get married at last, and friends are just friends. If you are really together, she will belong to you alone, and no matter how good friends they are, they won’t be able to enter your two-person world.”

Wei Ying was completely stunned.

Fall in love, kiss, make love, get married…

He had never thought about this, he didn’t dare to think, the object of these things could be Lan Zhan.

He just rushed to Lan Zhan awkwardly, wanting to enter Lan Zhan’s world and stand beside Lan Zhan.

But he never thought that he could own Lan Zhan.

Could Lan Zhan belong to him alone?

Just thinking about this for a while, Wei Ying felt that the whole person was floating, and the whole world was beginning to shine.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn’t help but imagine him and Lan Zhan doing that kind of things, but after only thinking about it only for a while, he didn’t dare to think about it anymore.

His entire face began to blush.

Zhou Lusi amusedly looked at the boy’s cheeks and moist eyes, wondering which lucky girl would make such a beautiful boy wanted her, she inexplicably felt the vicissitudes of youth, and sighed.

“If you figure it out, just listen to me. I’ll tell you how to chase her.”

On this day, Wei Ying learned a lot in the noodle restaurant and set a grand goal.

He wanted to pursue Lan Zhan and fall in love with Lan Zhan.

First, he needed to buy a mobile phone to download WeChat as Zhou Lusi said.

On this day, Zhou Lusi was also satisfied with the gossip.

She clicked on WeChat on her mobile phone and typed in an input box:

“Your tablemate has a crush. She seems to be a very cold girl with top grades and not talkative. Do you have such a girl in your class?“

---

Author have something to say:  脑子被门夹 (nǎozi bèi mén jiā) = Both she and he pronounced the same in Chinese but are written differently.

When Wei Ying talk “he wanted someone” it’s obviously Lusi will think he have crush on girl.
