Chapter 38 Secret Book
"I just saw my elder sister," Xin Tianyi said. "She said you're into exercise now and you're in better shape. You used to get sick a lot, but now you don't get sick that often. I even bought you some new shoes."
Wei Ran smiled and said, "How is it? It's good to have a sister."
"Yes," Xin Tianyi answered sincerely, "I also want to have a sister. Unfortunately, I don't have one."
"You don't have a sister, but you still have us. Which of the three of us can't be a brother to you?"
Wei Ran's words caused Xin Tianyi to question him.
"If I remember correctly, I should be older than you," Xin Tianyi said, "You were also born in 1974. My birthday is on the first day of the Lunar New Year. How could you be older than me?"
"Not much smaller." Wei Ran said with a smile, "Just a few months."
Wei Ran and Xin Tianyi were born in the same year, in the first half of 1974. Xin Tianyi's birthday fell on the first day of the Lunar New Year, making her younger than anyone else. Zhang Yang and Yuan Dabao were born in 1973, the year before, in the latter half of the year. If you calculated it strictly, they'd be a year older than Xin Tianyi, but a closer look revealed they were only a few months older.
So if you have to say, only Zhang Yang and Yuan Dabao are older than Xin Tianyi, and Wei Ran is the youngest.
Xin Tianyi looked at Wei Ran and felt secretly sad.
The youngest one, who was also the best student and the most well-behaved, was the first to leave them.
He left completely before they even understood what death was.
"Let me tell you something." Xin Tianyi stood up straight and said to Wei Ran solemnly.
Wei Ran looked into Xin Tianyi's eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Exercise can also be dangerous. Take running, for example. If you don't have the right form, you can easily twist your ankle or injure your knee. Or take football, where there's a lot of physical contact. I know Zhang Yang has injured his leg before."
"He was playing football when someone tackled him from the front, injuring the bones in the front of his shin." Wei Ran understood the situation clearly. "I was there too. Zhang Yang immediately fell to the ground, clutching his leg in pain, grimacing, but he didn't make a sound."
When Xin Tianyi heard this, he looked towards Zhang Yang's house.
This person has been like this since childhood.
"Don't interrupt, I haven't finished yet." Xin Tianyi continued, "Take swimming, for example. Many people go swimming in ponds and lakes, thinking the water isn't deep, especially in the summer, so they just run in the water to cool off. But they don't know what's going on underneath. Some are muddy, others are covered in aquatic plants and undercurrents. That can be terrible, and they can kill you instantly."
Wei Ran's eyes widened: "Is it that serious?"
"What do you think? Anyway, remember, never go swimming in the wild. If you have to go, go to a formal swimming pool, the kind with guarded staff."
"Okay. I understand." Wei Ran had never seen Xin Tianyi so serious before, and he nodded solemnly. "I definitely won't go swimming."
"Don't go swimming in the wild!" Xin Tianyi emphasized.
"Yes, we can't go swimming in the wild." Wei Ran said, "I'll have to tell Dabao and the others when I see them later."
"Right, right." Xin Tianyi said, "Let's go call them and run together."
The days after exams were the most carefree, especially since the results were not out yet and everyone had a great time. Even Wei Ran, who was usually very tense, relaxed at this time. Besides playing with his friends, he would sleep until he woke up naturally every day. Moreover, under Zhang Yang's strong persuasion, he also switched his reading from textbooks and orthodox literature to novels. Wei Ran was particularly fascinated by Jin Yong's novels. After finishing a book, he would go to Zhang Yang to exchange it for another one. If it was interesting, he would even take notes. When Zhang Yang saw Wei Ran's notes, he became interested for a while. He and Yuan Dabao stayed at Wei Ran's house for a whole day. Together, the three of them worked out a martial arts secret book.
It is to summarize the various martial arts schools in Jin Yong's novels, and copy down any movements or internal skills.
Looking at the remaining pile of books, the three of them felt that it would take a whole summer, and they didn't know if they could finish organizing all these books.
When the three of them were reading, Wei Ran suggested asking Xin Tianyi to join them, but Yuan Dabao immediately stopped them, saying that girls didn't like martial arts novels.
This statement is biased.
Books are not divided by gender. Xin Tianyi has read Jin Yong's novels over and over again.
So when he heard the three of them working on martial arts secrets, Xin Tianyi also came to help summarize them.
Whenever someone mentioned a set of martial arts, Xin Tianyi could immediately name it, telling them which novel it was originally described in. He could even trace it back to which sect or school it originated from, and even recite some descriptions by heart.
This shocked Yuan Dabao.
Lianlian gave Xin Tianyi a thumbs up and said that she was the real Sweeping Monk.
Xin Tianyi smiled and knocked Yuan Dabao with the book, "I told you to look down on girls. Now you know it."
Yuan Dabao apologized repeatedly for his narrow-mindedness and short-sightedness. But after apologizing, Yuan Dabao still thought, if only Bai Xue was there too.
Happy days always come to an end.
Zhang Liangpeng brought good news and bad news.
The bad news is that starting tomorrow, they won't be able to play like this anymore.
The good news is that the school will post the results of the high school entrance examination tomorrow.
Everyone pondered the definition of good and bad news and discovered that their own definition of good and bad news was different from that of adults.
However, Zhang Liangpeng's news made these families enter the same pattern.
Everyone suffered from insomnia that night.
Only Yuan Dabao was happier than worried before going to bed.
Because the notice will be posted tomorrow, he will be able to see Bai Xue.
When he met her this time, Yuan Dabao had to ask her where her home was and if there was a phone number where he could contact her.
Zhang Yang's family was going to install a telephone, and Yuan Dabao thought his family should be ready soon.
Once the phone is installed, no matter how far the distance is, it will not be a problem.
As for why he wanted to see Bai Xue so much, Yuan Dabao himself couldn't explain it.
He turned over, anticipating the meeting tomorrow, and was able to sleep well.
The author has something to say:
Ten thousand updates on weekends.
