The grass next door is my boyfriend

Chapter 26 26

"Boss will bring you three more beers." The food stall on Daxue Road was bustling with people at seven o'clock in the evening.

Lu Xiaotong shouted at the top of his voice.

"Immediately." The proprietress who ran back and forth between the back kitchen and the front desk did not forget to reply even though she was very busy.

"Stop drinking." Bai Ran looked at the blushing on Lu Xiaotong's face, and said in a worried tone.

Lu Xiaotong took a sip of wine, and before he knew it, he had drunk two big drinks.

He had already seen Lu Xiaotong's drinking capacity at the last basketball team dinner, it was really scary.

"It's okay, the draft beer here is all mixed with water, so it's not interesting at all." Lu Xiaotong said with his head turned.

"Keep your voice down." Lin Yi smiled and picked up the peanuts left on the table and threw them on Lu Xiaotong's head.

"Don't let the boss hear you."

"There's nothing I can't say about it. I've been in Jincheng for a year, and I've tried all the wild wonton shops on Daxue Road, and there's not a single beer that doesn't... woo, woo"

Bai Ran stood up and covered Lu Xiaotong's mouth. With his high voice, he successfully attracted the attention of several tables around him, as well as the half-rolled eyes of the proprietress.

"Oh, I'm not drunk." Lu Xiaotong pushed Bai Ran's hand away.

"Let's not talk about it, let's talk about the Rookie Contest."

"Xiaoran, have you got the registration form?"

"Well, I went to the official website to download it today." Bai Ran replied while picking apart a edamame.

"I see that in his selection requirements above, Weibo popularity weighting also accounts for a high proportion. Do you think we should open another Weibo account? Haima TV specially made a super chat for the Rookie Popularity Contest. If fans bring topics Tweeting can also increase your popularity..."

"Well, yes." Bai Ran read the notice on the official website in the afternoon, and already had the same idea as Lu Xiaotong in his mind.

"My Weibo was registered in junior high school, and I haven't posted it much. I can use it directly if I change my name."

Bai Ran has few friends, so he rarely shares his daily life on social software.

"Then I'll open a small account." Lu Xiaotong is the complete opposite of Bai Ran. He is the type who wants to tell the world about even the most important things. His own private Weibo has everything, reposts that must pass every exam, and sand sculptures are funny. The video, as well as the narcissistic selfies that show off his 'handsomeness', are simply brilliant.

"You can also cut some game videos and post them on it. I can always find them, and I pay attention to some good ones." Lin Yi had an idea, combined with his usual Weibo habits, and put forward his own suggestions.

"What video?" Lu Xiaotong became interested.

Lin Yi also likes to play games. When Lu Xiaotong wanted to be an anchor on a whim, he also encouraged Lin Yi. It's just that his school team was too busy training and couldn't adjust the time, but occasionally he would watch the live broadcast.

"Technical stream anchors generally cut those kill cuts, and entertainment anchors post some funny clips. I will find a few for you that I often pay attention to."

Lin Yi took out his mobile phone and looked through the last few on his watch list.

"It's really dazzling." Lu Xiaotong watched with relish.

"Xiao Ran, you can also perform this kind of operation."

"Damn it, there are actually a thousand likes." Lu Xiaotong was taken aback when he saw the number of likes, and clicked on that person's homepage.

"This person only has [-] fans, so there are too many likes."

"This kind of video will be pushed to the video section, so the audience is not necessarily fans."

"But this is also a way to attract fans." Bai Ran changed his mind.

"Xiao Ran is right." Lin nodded, and extracted the essence of a half-hour game, cut it into just a few minutes, and could easily click on it when swiping Weibo, so that he had a little sense of the game. Anyone who is interested can become a fan.

"Lin Zi, you can." Lu Xiaotong patted him on the shoulder.

It just so happened that the proprietress brought up three glasses of draft beer, and Lu Xiaotong greeted everyone to toast together.

Bai Ran smiled and held up the Coke in his hand.

"No, but I'm still drinking Coca-Cola at this time, so it's okay to have some wine." Lu Xiaotong picked up the wine glass that was upside down on the table, and poured Bai Ran a glass of beer.

"Come on, let's go together."

"Don't make trouble, Xiao Ran is allergic to alcohol, so don't let him drink it." Lin Yi opened his mouth to help Bai Ran.

Although I didn't have much contact with Bai Ran, I heard that Bai Ran couldn't drink alcohol during the last meal, and Lu Xiaotong would bluff when he drank too much, but Lin Yi still had a sense of proportion.

"Xiaoran never said that she was allergic to alcohol. This was said by Xiaoran's friend when we had dinner on the first day of school."

Lu Xiaotong blinked, "It's your friend who won't let you drink."

Bai Ran paused with the hand holding the wine glass.

Lu Xiaotong was talking about the first day of the university. Bai Ran's parents didn't come to send him to school because they were busy with work. Xu Jingyang, as a senior, accompanied Bai Ran to report and recognize the campus. The roommates had a meal together.

Xu Jingyang has always disliked Bai Ran's close contact with other boys, so naturally he would not let him drink.

Afterwards, Bai Ran gradually got used to it. Everyone at the dinner table drank alcohol, and he was the only one who drank juice and Coke.

"It's okay, just drink less."

Habits are really a terrible thing, and even the original self is forgotten.

Bai Ran smiled reassuringly, and raised his wine glass to clink with everyone.

"Come on, cheers."

"That's right, Xiaoran is finally down to earth, come here." Lu Xiaotong saw that Bairan drank the whole cup, and followed closely behind to drink most of it.

"Bai Ran, do you live off campus? I seldom see you at school except in class." The atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and the classmates who hadn't spoken to Bai Ran on weekdays also let go.

"Well, I'm originally from Jincheng, so I don't live on campus."

"That's right." The classmate nodded knowingly.

In fact, there are many rumors about Bai Ran in the English department. His appearance is always eye-catching, and the shoes on his feet are always limited edition. By default, he is a low-key rich second generation, and Bai Ran has nothing to do with anyone other than Lu Xiaotong, so they are all curious about him.

I thought he was aloof and aloof, but now I get to know him and find that he is neither proud nor aloof.

Except for a little less introversion, the rest is no different from them.

Everyone's favorite games and stars are the same.

"You are from Jincheng, and so am I." The boy at the opposite table became interested when he heard that Bai Ran was from Jincheng.

"Where did you go to high school?"

"I'm studying in the experimental middle school."

"Oh, I'm in No. [-] Middle School. Experimental Middle School was too difficult to pass, so I didn't pass the exam."

"Okay, okay, it's fate for everyone to get together, let's toast to fate." Lu Xiaotong drank happily, and ordered another table of wine with a big wave of his hand.

Boys' friendship is established extremely quickly. With a table of meals and a few glasses of wine, they can be called brothers if they chat with similar interests. This kind of atmosphere is something that Bai Ran has never been in contact with before. In the past, Xu Jingyang's dinner with Xu Jingyang was always the same. At the center of the atmosphere, he is the character who sits silently beside him and accompany him quietly.

But Bai Ran didn't dislike such a pure and hot atmosphere, on the contrary, he liked it a little.

This is how college life should be, with joy and laughter, talk and trouble.

It was nearly eleven o'clock in the blink of an eye, and the customers around him changed from table to table, and Bai Ran poured out batch after batch of wine on their table.

"Okay, let's stop here today, we'll meet again next time." Lin Yi was still sober, seeing that the people at the dinner table were a little confused, he proposed to leave.

"No, no, come on, I want to drink with Xiaoran." Lu Xiaotong lay on the table, muttering non-stop.

"Drink a fart, you drink, you are the first to pour every time, and I have to resist you to go back." Lin Yi raised his hand and knocked him on the head.

"Xiaoran, are you okay?" Lin Yi asked with concern when he saw Bairan leaning on the back of the chair, with his head lowered without energy.

"Well, it's okay." When Bai Ran heard someone calling his name, his reaction was a bit slow.

He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. Apart from dizziness, he was still conscious.

"Brother Wang and I took them back to the dormitory, can you go home by yourself?" Lin Yi patted him on the shoulder.

"Yeah, let's go, I'll call a car to go back, my house is not far from here." Bai Ran called a car with his mobile phone.

"Okay, let me know when you get home." Lin picked up the limp Lu Xiaotong.

The dormitory closes at eleven o'clock, and a group of them have to go back early.

"Don't worry." There were not many people calling for a car at night, and the car Bai Ran ordered also arrived.

"See you on Monday." Bai Ran watched a group of people leave, and got into the car himself.

He told the driver the address of the master, and he collapsed on the back seat, turning on the mobile phone that he hadn't touched for several hours.

Only then did I discover a new message notification in WeChat.

It's from the boss.

[JC: Do you want to play together? 】

The message was sent at eight o'clock in the evening, three hours ago.

[Bai Ran: I just saw the news. 】

【Bai Ran: I'm still on my way home now】

[Bai Ran: But I'm a little tired today, we can be together tomorrow. 】

Jiang Chao's mobile phone was kept on the desk, and he frowned slightly as he watched the pop-up WeChat message.

The child said that he had dinner with a few classmates, went there after six o'clock, and only returned home now.

[JC: Have you been drinking? 】

[Bai Ran: I drank a little. 】

Bai Ran didn't reply quickly, and Jiang Chao didn't rush him, but he was a little worried.

【JC: Is there any discomfort? 】

He still remembered the last time the basketball team had dinner, Bai Ran was not allowed to drink.

[Bai Ran: I was just going upstairs. 】

[Bai Ran: It's okay, just a little dizzy. 】

Bai Ran kicked off his shoes, threw his coat on the sofa casually, and plunged into the quilt. He was still trying to stay awake outside, but now that he was back home in an environment that made him feel at ease, the alcohol gradually picked up.

Seeing that the boss didn't respond, Bai Ran rubbed his eyes sleepily. He was very obedient when he was drunk, and he didn't want to go crazy with alcohol, he just wanted to sleep.

While his consciousness was hazy, the phone in his hand kept vibrating, which woke Bai Ran up again.

It's a WeChat voice call.

Bai Ran raised his eyelids and picked it up.

"Sleeping?" Jiang Chao's voice was low.

After thinking about it, he was still worried, so he called Bai Ran.

"En." Bai Ran turned over and responded obediently.

"Is there any discomfort?" This is what Jiang Chao cares most about.

"It's okay." Bai Ran, who had drunk too much, involuntarily added modal particles.

"elder brother."

He muttered something vaguely.

After calling him brother for a whole day, this title has already been hooked on the boss in Bai Ran's heart.

"Are you happy eating with your classmates?" Jiang Chao knew that he didn't have many friends, so he guessed that he should be happy.

"Happy."

"elder brother."

Jiang Chao's topic successfully opened up Bai Ran's chatter box, and he babbled on and on about all the interesting things that he talked about during the afternoon meal to Jiang Chao.

In fact, Bai Ran's voice is not loud, and the logical order of his speech is not correct. Sometimes Jiang Chao can't understand what he is saying at all, but he still responds, and he will also laugh when he hears Bai Ran's excited tone.

Bai Ran's language system and self-awareness have been divided into two parts, and he still can't get enough of sleepiness while talking.

Jiang Chao put the phone to his ear, listening to Bai Ran's shallow breathing.

He stood by the window, looking at the bright night scene downstairs.

The night is also lingering and gentle.

"Go to sleep."

"Little drunkard."

he said softly.
