In the end, Jiang Mu did not lend the notebook to Ella to beat Li Hua.

After all, they are good friends and brothers.

So Jiang Mu did it himself.

He picked up his notebook and chased after him, just as Li Hua ran with his learning machine.

Summer vacation is a luxury of time, belonging only to young boys who watch the clouds and dream. The boys chase each other so fast that they tear the summer into flowing arcs of light. The light and shadow cut the cicadas' chirping into pieces, making it blurry, like a window surrounded by smoke.

White mist rose up, exuding the wonderful aroma of soybean paste soup. Ella sat on a not-too-clean table and chairs, looking at the brightly lit high-rise buildings in the distance, her eyes looking empty.

The look as if she was looking up at the clouds was fleeting, and she leaned to the left, like an owl standing on the windowsill and looking into the house, looking into the window again and again.

She turned her face back and asked Jiang Mu with a strange expression:

"Why do I always feel that the chef is always looking at us through the window?"

Jiang Mu hesitated to speak.

"…Maybe it's because I just had a meal here this morning."

Ella's eyes lit up, and she immediately felt the joy of having found a person who shared the same interests with her.

"Yeah, yeah, I come to this restaurant often. Not only is the food delicious, but the portions are also quite large. I can't finish a large portion of noodles by myself, so there's always half a bowl left..."

Miss Black Swan started mumbling.

"But the size of the large and small portions is quite different, but the price is only one dollar different. I always feel like I'm losing out when I order the small portion... It's like turning on the air conditioner in the summer. If you cover yourself with a blanket, you'll feel hot, but if you don't, you'll feel cold..."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Mu and said, "You guys don't have to worry about this!"

Jiang Mu thought for a moment and said, "We boys will feel cold even if we turn on the air conditioner in the summer without a blanket."

Ella almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

"I'm talking about ramen."

"It's cold even when eating ramen."

Ella still couldn't hold it back.

She covered her lips tightly, her cheeks puffed up and turned red, but a faint laugh still seeped out from between her fingers, like gold sand under a funnel.

Jiang Mu discovered that Ella was a girl with a very low sense of humor. For example, at this moment, she kept covering her mouth and trembled for three or four seconds before she let go of her hands. However, the smile at the corner of her lips was like cotton wool hanging on a branch, which could not be blown away by the wind.

He thought about it, took out a notebook from his arms and spread it out.

When Ella saw this, her eyes flickered: "What are you doing?"

"Some ideas, record something."

"Wow, this must be the legendary one! That kind of... um, cool notebook of a very powerful person! I remember it was called... Wait a minute, let me recall."

Jiang Mu was very relieved.

So you see, this girl with good grades is different. She can only eat half a portion of ramen and has to pack up the remaining half.

This is completely different from the heroine who can eat five bowls of ramen for lunch and still wants to have two tea eggs.

We all took out our notebooks. The girl who ate half a bowl knew I was writing an article, while the girl who ate five bowls thought I was writing a menu.

"Yeah, that's right." Jiang Mu was in a good mood, "I just wanted to write..."

"Death Note!" Ella was very excited. "Yes, it's the notebook that can cause a person's heart to stop within forty seconds as long as a name is written on it!"

Then she saw Jiang Mu's face with an expression as if his heart had stopped beating.

"..."

Ella poked her head out like a seal hiding in the glacier and asked cautiously:

"You... wrote your name on it?"

"…Nothing, this isn't the Death Note, it's just a notebook."

Jiang Mu held his forehead with his hand, "I want to be a writer in the future, so I will write something down when I have free time."

Ella's eyes sparkled, "Wow, that's pretty cool too."

"It's not Death Note, it's also very handsome?"

"Of course I am handsome," she said. "My mother has always told me that the most handsome people in the world are those who keep moving towards their goals, just like my father...

It doesn’t matter if you walk slower, walk farther, go off the track, stop to rest, or even go in the wrong direction. The world is round, and as long as you don’t stop, you will always get to where you want to go.”

Jiang Mu's heart moved.

When Ella said this, she looked straight at Jiang Mu, but her eyes did not stay on him.

She seemed to be looking at something very far away. Her eyes were full of longing and beauty, as if starlight was splashing in her eyes.

It's hard to imagine that a girl who would complain about the size of her ramen portion could have such a lively look in her eyes, eyes that were full of longing and yearning for something, eyes without any inferiority complex - eyes that were like looking at the starry sky.

Even wearing old clothes that are a size smaller does not affect the clarity of dreams in those eyes.

"Ah." Jiang Mu looked at Ella and said softly, "He is indeed very handsome."

He lowered his head and wrote something in a rustling voice, the elegant words flowing from the tip of the pen along with his soul.

[Just like the person who pursues his dream, he is as handsome as the person in his dream. 】

The steaming hot ramen was served, like a tired white dragon, and the soup base was like resting clouds.

The white dragon leaped up and disappeared into the dark sky, leaving only the clouds lying quietly at the bottom of the bowl.

Ella stood outside the door holding her learning machine, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Actually, I should have been the one to treat you... After all, I didn't do anything today and I got a learning machine for free."

Jiang Mu leaned against the door and said with a smile: "You can't say that. Have you ever been to some entertainment venues that sell alcohol?"

"Of course not." Ella said as a matter of course, "A bottle of Coke costs three dollars, and adding two ice cubes increases the price by twenty dollars. I must be crazy to spend money there."

After a slight pause, he looked at Jiang Mu:

"...You haven't been there before?"

Her eyes seemed to say "Is there anything wrong with your brain?"

"...I've never been there in my life, but that's not what I'm talking about." Jiang Mu said, "I just want to say that if you've been there, you can see that there are a lot of pretty girls there... They are the main reason why the price of Coke goes up by 20 yuan if you change the container and add two ice cubes."

Ella glanced sideways: "You don't want to compare me to that kind of girl, do you? I'll get angry for you to see, okay?"

"Of course not. I'm just explaining a situation. For some girls, even if they just watch from the side, the effect is not much different from giving money directly to men." Jiang Mu shrugged. "According to this calculation, you at least let me win a lottery of 5 million today."

He laughed: "You've already made me win five million, so what's wrong with me treating you to some ramen?"

Ella's eyes flickered: "You make it seem like all men are being taken advantage of."

"I don't want to admit it, but it's hard to deny it."

"Just like the day you secretly went back and paid back the hundred dollars for the book?"

Jiang Mu was stunned.

Ella laughed happily.

It was that kind of smile again, a mischievous, malicious smile, like a cat jumping on your keyboard while you are working and refusing to leave, and sweeping your coffee cup down with its tail.

She didn't explain how she knew that, nor did she laugh at Jiang Mu's stunned expression.

She just waved and smiled broadly at this side.

"Since you have won five million, there will be no kiss on the cheek today - do you feel like you've been let down?"

"It's just a joke. See you at school. Bye, future great writer!"

The moving vehicles blocked the pretty figure, and the whistling sound drowned out the farewell.

Only the brightly lit buildings remained standing, with the moon and stars sparsely visible.

"What a nice girl, huh?"

A voice sounded in Jiang Mu's ears.

Jiang Mu turned his head and saw the boss who looked like a human trafficker. He was wrapped in a white towel and smelled of a mixture of bone soup and cigarettes.

The boss seemed not to notice Jiang Mu's gaze and continued, "She is a very polite and interesting girl. She came here often two or three years ago. Is she a foreign girl? Her Chinese is so good."

"She's not really a foreigner," Jiang Mu joked. "She even had to ask others for answers when she took an English test."

"Are you familiar with her?"

"Fortunately."

"Compared to the girl from the daytime, who is more familiar?"

"...Not much different. Boss, do you have any impression of the guy from this morning?"

The boss complained: "A little girl can eat five big bowls of ramen. I think it's unimpressive."

"…That's right. Let's settle the bill. How much is it tonight?"

"One hundred twenty."

"?"

Jiang Mu looked at the price written on the wall, then looked at the boss, with an expression that seemed to say "Do you think I'm stupid?"

What's going on? The human trafficker opened a black shop after retirement?

The boss didn't say anything, but just pointed in one direction.

Jiang Mu looked over and saw a stool with a broken leg.

What's wrong with this stool?

It wasn't me who interrupted it.

"That girl waited for you for half an hour this morning and left in a huff." The boss said dimly, "Before she left, she accidentally broke the leg of a stool with her foot."

Jiang Mu: "..."

Are you sure the word "accidentally" is used here?

"I saw that she was angry and didn't notice it, so I didn't remind her." The boss said, "Since you have a good relationship, just settle the bill while you're at it."

Jiang Mu: "..."

Do you believe me when I say we are not familiar with each other?

Jiang Quhan was sitting alone on the steps under the eaves, holding a cigarette of an unknown brand in his mouth.

It was a moonless night, and the entire sky and earth were pitch black, as if they had been swallowed by a giant whale.

"Squeak-"

In the remaining starlight, Jiang Mu walked in holding a large cardboard box. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Quhan sitting on the steps smoking.

"Are you back?" the man asked.

"I'm back." said the boy.

"I'm glad you're back. Come in." Jiang Quhan said, "There are some food I brought back in the house. Remember to heat it up in the pot."

"I've had dinner outside." Jiang Mu said, "I'm not having dinner at your granddaughter's place today."

Jiang Quhan was stunned for three seconds before he realized that Jiang Mu was talking about Ji Suyi...
