Chapter 25: espresso

"When you can do all these questions, I will praise you."

"Ah, let me put it another way, are you encouraging me?" Jiang Nuan asked with a squinting smile.

As long as he has no face and no skin, no matter how Lu Ran insults her, it will not be lethal.

She thought that Lu Ran would say, "I encourage you, can you go to Tsinghua University and Peking University?", but what Lu Ran said was: "I will apply to the university in the imperial capital. You have to work harder, where the second line is also quite high."

Jiang Nuan replied without thinking, "Don't worry, I didn't think about taking the university in the Imperial Capital, I'll just take the exam in Haichuan City, and the development of fencing there is better than our Nan City."

Lu Ran, who was still listing the knowledge points and ideas of the big answer on the scratch paper, suddenly stopped writing. The tip of the pen poked a hole on the paper.

"Take it lightly! Be careful that the tip of the pen in front is broken!"

"Ocean University is also good, 211 is heavy."

"Then you don't see Shanghai Sichuan University either." Jiang Nuan was still distressed by the hole in the scratch paper.

"how do you know?"

Lu Ran continued to write on the scratch paper, Jiang Nuan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and poked the other person's arm lightly.

"You won't really apply for Haichuan University, will you?"

"See where you took the test."

"Anyway, I won't go wherever you go, so you'll be angry when you see me."

Actually, I don't want to get angry when I see you.

In case I go to the imperial capital through **** luck, maybe one day I will bump into you when I eat KFC with my classmates, which will affect the endocrine system.

"If your goal is the second book in Haichuan City, you can go back to sleep. Your current level is enough."

Lu Ran put down the pen and began to clean up the notebook that Jiang Nuan had spread on his desk.

"Oh! Don't!" Jiang Nuan thought to herself that this guy must be angry. She said just now that I won't go wherever you go, so she quickly grabbed the opponent's hand and said, "I will do my best to advance towards the second book of the imperial capital! Go! Go! Go!"

Suddenly, Jiang Nuan's nose was scratched by Lu Ran's fingers.

"It's useless. If you can study so hard all the time, it's very possible to get admitted to a key university in the city of God."

Jiang Nuan looked at Lu Ran, a place in her heart was burned, and she turned her face away immediately.

"You...you teach me these questions quickly! It's past ten o'clock, and I still have to go to bed!"

In half an hour, Lu Ran finished the questions, and then took away his solution as usual, and let Jiang Nuan do it himself.

"I'm going to cook noodles, do you want to eat?"

Jiang Nuan, who was doing the question, nodded subconsciously: "Eat, eat, come with ham."

"I cook vermicelli, not instant noodles."

Jiang Nuan then raised his head and scratched his head with his pen: "Ayo, can Lu Ran cook noodles?"

Then, she remembered the time Lu Ran scratched her nose just now.

Only occasionally, really occasionally... She would think that he was actually very good.

After ten minutes, I heard Lu Ran's voice: "Have you made it all?"

"Well, I made it!" Jiang Nuan came to Lu Ran with a scratch paper, like a child presenting a treasure.

The whole living room was filled with the smell of fresh fragrance. Jiang Nuan lifted the lid of the pot and was scalded by the steam. He pinched his ears and did not dare to scream.

Lu Ran looked up at her and said, "Stupid or not, there is a rag next to me."

"Then I'll eat it first!" Jiang Nuan felt that there was no need to be polite, and he took a large bowl with mushrooms, bean sprouts and some shredded pork in it.

"There's an egg in it that's yours. Eat it after it's cold." Lu Ran turned Jiang Nuan's scratch paper to the next page.

Jiang Nuan, who was about to put his face in his mouth, stopped, and hurriedly blew twice, then suddenly thought of something, and raised his head to look at the other party.

Actually you are fine.

And very good.

"What's wrong?"

Probably not hearing Jiang Nuan eating noodles, Lu Ran raised his eyes and looked at her.

"Lu Ran, I have a question for you."

"what?"

"If, I mean, if my dad wasn't your coach, would you still care about me?"

Lu Ran didn't speak, Jiang Nuan lowered his head in disappointment and went to eat noodles.

She suddenly realized that her rivalry with Lu Ran was not just because he was good in her parents' eyes, making her envious and jealous, but more about the things he wouldn't do for others even though it was for her He did, but only because she was his coach's only daughter.

"What do you care?"

"Let me study." Jiang Nuan raised her chin.

"I care about you because you wanted me to take you to the Imperial Capital to study at university. You forgot, I didn't forget. This is between me and you, and has nothing to do with Coach Jiang."

Jiang Nuan was stunned, so it turns out that Lu Ran has been keeping him in control of his studies because of this? But why did he say he wanted to go to the Imperial Capital to study at university? She has always been a typical example of not seeking to make progress in her studies!

Is it because the imperial capital's fencing level is higher?

Jiang Nuan lowered his head and took a big mouthful of noodles.

"It's delicious to cook your noodles. It looks light, but it's very fragrant."

"Because you can't even cook instant noodles." Lu Ran replied.

"You haven't eaten it yet!" Jiang Nuan looked at the other party with the expression "You lied".

"Do you remember if I ate it?" Lu Ran asked back.

Jiang Nuan stopped talking, maybe Lu Ran really ate it.

When Lu Ran put down the scratch paper, he said, "You did everything right, that is, you must take your calculations seriously during the exam."

"Okay."

Lu Ran picked up his chopsticks and was about to scoop up the noodles, but found that he had only picked up a few green vegetables in the pot.

Jiang Nuan stood up and glanced at it: "Hey, it's gone! There's only soup left... You should cook less!"

"Are you sure it's not that you can eat too much?"

Jiang Nuan was speechless.

The monthly exam came soon, and until morning, Jiang Nuan was still holding a bun and a textbook in his hand, trying to memorize the classical Chinese.

While waiting for the elevator, it is also on the back.

Although Luo Chen was glad that Jiang Nuan had become so diligent, he couldn't help but worry about whether there would be danger on her way.

"Xiao Nuan, don't back it up on the road! Watch the road!"

"Got it!"

Hearing the "ding--" sound of the elevator door, Jiang Nuan walked in with the book in his arms, hitting his head directly on someone's body.

"Are you touching porcelain?"

A familiar voice belonging to Lu Ran sounded.

Jiang Nuan quickly took a half step back: "How can I be considered a touch of porcelain?"

"If you don't do well in the language test, you can say that I broke your head." Lu Ran's lips curved slightly.

"You just got hit in the head!" Jiang Nuan bumped the other side with his elbow.

Jiang Nuan got out of the elevator and walked out of the yard, still full of the classical Chinese that he was reciting just now.

During this time, she spent all her time on mathematics, physics and chemistry, but ignored the Chinese and English that she was good at.

As I was walking, I felt that the back collar was being picked up. With such strength and technique, who else could it be except Lu Ran?

As soon as Jiang Nuan looked up, she found that in front of her was a telephone pole with a dog-hunting revelation posted on it.

Lu Ran had already stepped forward.

Jiang Nuan trotted to catch up: "Eh? Why don't you ride a bicycle?"

"broken."

As soon as Lu Ran's words fell, the bus came. The people who went to work and school were in the car, and it looked crowded.

Jiang Nuan sighed and squeezed upward. Someone behind her supported her waist and sent her inside. Jiang Nuan just stood up when the car door behind him closed.

"Lu Ran! Lu Ran!" Jiang Nuan thought that the other party didn't get in the car, but who knew that when she turned around, Lu Ran was standing behind her.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ran asked.

"Nothing, I thought you didn't come up!"

"I can take the next shift if I don't come up." Lu Ran grabbed the pole with one hand.

Jiang Nuan turned around to look for the place to grab it. Who knew that it had just turned halfway, the car shook, and the whole car leaned towards the rear. Jiang Nuan was surrounded by people before she fell down. When she reacted, She was pushed back into Lu Ran's arms again.

"Recite your book." Lu Ran said lightly.

There was a lot of noise in the car, and Lu Ran's arm around Jiang Nuan was so present that Jiang Nuan even felt that as long as he moved again, Lu Ran would push her into his arms.

"Where is this... I can recite it..." Jiang Nuan said in a low voice.

But Lu Ran still heard it.

"Then I will say the last sentence, and you will memorize the next sentence."

"OK."

"Yu Fan Lunjin, while talking and laughing..." Lu Ran lowered his head and looked into Jiang Nuan's eyes.

"The turrets are gone."

"Well. Don't listen to the sound of Chuan Lin hitting the leaves, next sentence?" Lu Ran's words were clear, and his voice was very textured, like a male anchor on the radio.

"Why don't you roar and walk slowly?" Jiang Nuan looked at Lu Ran.

I don't know if it was because the surrounding was too noisy, but Lu Ran's eyes made her feel clear and peaceful.

"Looking back at the desolate place, go back..."

"Neither wind nor rain."

"Well." Lu Ran lowered his chin.

At that moment, Jiang Nuan felt very happy.

It seems that the nervousness of the exam has been forgotten, as if I can do everything.

Just swaying like this, at the gate of the school, Jiang Nuan's hand was dragged by Lu Ran, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the lower door. Lu Ran got out of the car first, and when Jiang Nuan got down, he still held her.

"Don't jump. It's all about exams. Do you want to throw a dog and eat **** to take the exam?"

If it was in the past, Jiang Nuan would definitely be angry, thinking about how to go back, but now she looked at his back walking in front, and suddenly felt that he was actually very cute.

Jiang Nuan trotted two steps and caught up with Lu Ran.

"How many do you think you can take the test this time?"

"I've always played normally, worry about yourself."

Lu Ran glanced back at Jiang Nuan and entered his examination room.

Jiang Nuan shrugged and went to his examination room.

She sat in the penultimate position in the third examination room, which meant that she had to span the entire examination room and win over thirty people.

Sitting in front of her was Zhou Yan.

She turned her head and glanced at Jiang Nuan. Jiang Nuan just smiled at her, but Zhou Yan turned away with a cold face.

Hey, where did I provoke you?

The teacher walked in and emphasized the discipline of the examination room, and then began to distribute the examination papers.

Jiang Nuan took a look at the paper and saw that Lu Ran asked her almost all the fill-in-the-blank questions in front of her on the bus. She couldn't help but sigh that a student is a student, and she can even guess the questions so accurately.

After the exam, Jiang Nuan, Rao Can, and Doudou met. The three of them walked downstairs together. At the corner of the stairs, they saw Lu Ran standing there with a bag on one shoulder.

There were so many classmates coming and going, but he didn't see him move half a step.

"I suddenly had a very reliable guess." Rao Can said.

"Is Goldbach?" Jiang Nuan asked.

She is now thinking about what to eat for a while.

Is it to eat tomato and egg rice bowl? Or eat fish-flavored eggplant? It's not spicy, it's still green pepper meat slices...

"I guess Lu Ran is standing there waiting for you." Rao Can said.

"How can it be?"

At this time, I happened to see a boy in the first examination room coming to Lu Ran and discussing something with him.

Jiang Nuan took Rao Can's hand and went downstairs with the crowd.

Just passing by Lu Ran, Jiang Nuan's back collar was hooked. When she turned around, she saw Lu Ran.

Lu Ran released his fingers and gently pressed down Jiang Nuan's back collar: "Don't eat spicy food at noon. Be careful that your stomach hurts in the afternoon exam."

Eh? How does this guy know she wants spicy food?

"You... don't worry, I eat tomatoes and eggs!"

Just these two short sentences, there are really many people around.

Jiang Nuan quickly lowered his head, pulled Cheng Doudou and went down.

As soon as he walked out of the teaching building, Rao Can slapped Jiang Nuan on the back of the head with a smile: "I just said he was waiting for you!"

"Wait for me to do? Just to say something like that?"

"No, there was a monthly exam last semester. You had to eat Mala Tang at noon. Afterwards, you went to the toilet to have diarrhea in the afternoon exam. The invigilator thought you were cheating and followed you at the door of the bathroom."

Jiang Nuan has a black line on his face... isn't it? Does she really have such a record?

The three entered the school's canteen, Jiang Nuan made a bowl of rice, and saw Cheng Doudou had a piece of paper in his hand, which was quietly opening.

Jiang Nuan put the bowl down and glanced at his head: "What's the matter?"

"My classmates gave it to me." Cheng Doudou said, his face still flushed.

"Oh, someone else gave you a cheat sheet!" Jiang Nuan laughed.

Cheng Doudou put his finger between his lips again: "Be quiet, don't let others hear you. The classmate said that this is the last big question in our liberal arts class in the afternoon monthly exam."

Rao Can was delighted: "Come on. If it's the last big question in the monthly exam, how did the classmate who gave it to you get it?"

"Don't worry about it, you two are good at math, help me see how to answer?"

Rao Can shook his head: "Forget it, my math is plastic."

"plastic?"

"Plastic flowers are fake flowers, plastic dogs are fake dogs, and plastic friendships are fake friendships. As for plastic math...you can tell me whether it's good or not." Jiang Nuan took a big mouthful of tomato rice.

Cheng Doudou sighed: "Plastic friendship is good. Although it is fake, it will last forever."

Rao Can laughed and showed the cheat sheet to Jiang Nuan: "Xiao Nuan, your math is better than mine, help Doudou to have a look."

Jiang Nuan glanced at it, took the pen, finished it in about ten minutes, and then handed it to Doudou.

Doudou showed a surprised expression: "Xiao Nuan, you are amazing! Your math is definitely not plastic!"

"I advise you not to take it too seriously. If anyone can get the big answers of the monthly test, our school teachers' confidentiality work is too bad."

Doudou folded the question seriously and put it in his pocket.

After lunch, Jiang Nuan and Rao Can went to the canteen to buy coffee. When one of them took a cup of Nestle canned coffee to pay for it, Lu Ran's voice came from behind.

"The canned coffee isn't very refreshing, and it's a diuretic that makes you want to go to the bathroom."

When Jiang Nuan turned around, he saw him.

Ouch, why are you everywhere!

The other students in the canteen all looked over at the same time.

Lu Ran usually speaks very little, but he said a whole sentence to Jiang Nuan. Jiang Nuan was really not used to being watched by so many people, so he immediately lowered his head and wanted to get out immediately.

But Rao Can took Jiang Nuan's shoulder wickedly and said to Lu Ran, "Lu Ran, if you have the ability, please invite us to drink coffee that can refresh your mind."

Jiang Nuan bowed to Rao Can, she felt that they were about to be scolded.

Who knew that Lu Ran just raised his arm and looked at his watch, and said, "Let's go, as long as you can drink."

When Lu Ran went out, Cheng Doudou happily followed, saying, "Aiya, Xue Shen, please drink coffee and you will be able to pass."

But Jiang Nuan was pulled by Rao Can because she saw Zhou Yan standing there.

Another wave of hatred has been drawn.

Lu Ran took them to a cafe near the school, and Jiang Nuan and the three sat by the window.

Students usually come to this cafe, most of them order a cup of coffee for self-study or homework.

Rao Can pulled Cheng Doudou to sit together very quickly, while Jiang Nuan could only reluctantly sit in his mouth and let Lu Ran sit next to her.

Lu Ran ordered espresso, which came in a very small cup.

Cheng Doudou vomited just as he took a sip.

"What is this - it's so bitter, like Chinese medicine!"

Rao Can replied: "Isn't that what espresso is? There are several cups in one cup. And this coffee without sugar and cream can increase the basal metabolic rate and help you lose weight."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Xiao Nuan will lie to you, but I won't." Rao Can said with a smile.

Cheng Doudou immediately squinted his eyes and drank the coffee as if he were dying.

Jiang Nuan only took a small sip, his whole face wrinkled.

"My God - this bitterness is really refreshing! Did you do it on purpose?" She looked at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran lightly squeezed the small cup with his fingers, and the steam floated up, as if to wet his eyelashes.

"If you're not used to it, don't drink it."

Jiang Nuan immediately put down the cup, but Rao Can took a small sip, as if he didn't feel bitter at all.

"Don't you feel like drinking Chinese medicine?"

"Although I don't understand the difference in taste between espresso and Chinese medicine, I can pretend I understand. This is the style." Rao Can tapped Jiang Nuan's head with his finger.

They spent ten minutes in the cafe, and Lu Ran raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's almost time, go back and prepare for the afternoon exam."

"Xiao Nuan, just take a sip of yours. The espresso here is quite expensive." Rao Can gave Jiang Nuan a wink and motioned Jiang Nuan not to waste it.

Jiang Nuan swallowed a mouthful of water: "I'll drink it after it cools down..."

"Don't force yourself if you're not used to it. Go."

Lu Ran patted the back of Jiang Nuan's head lightly, took the small cup in front of her, and drank it in one gulp.

Jiang Nuan felt relieved that caramel macchiato was suitable for her.

The four walked out of the cafe, and Lu Ran walked behind them. Rao Can leaned into Jiang Nuan's ear and said, "I saw that Lu Ran drank from the place you drank just now."

Jiang Nuan, who had not thought of anything at first, suddenly missed a beat in his heartbeat.

"It's just... it's not..."

Rao Can pursed his lips and smiled.

Lu Ran went to the first examination room on the top floor. As soon as Jiang Nuan returned to his seat, when he was about to sit down, he found that there were ink marks on his desk.

This kind of ink squeezed out of the fountain pen is not so fast drying.

If you don't pay attention, the paper is printed, and you may not be able to see the title.

Who is this, so immoral?

Jiang Nuan got up to get a rag, soaked it in water, and wiped the table clean.

Fortunately, I came early, and as soon as I dried, the teacher entered the classroom with the monthly test papers.

Jiang Nuan exhaled and told herself not to be affected by her mood. According to what Lu Ran taught her, the papers are based on the difficulty level. The multiple-choice questions that need to be calculated do not need to be calculated from the beginning to the end. Some can use the exclusion method, and some can Use the bring-in method, mark what you are not sure about, and come back to it if you have time.

When the bell rang for the end of the exam, Jiang Nuan exhaled, and Zhou Yan in the front row continued to calculate until the invigilator warned everyone that they must stop writing.

When he got up, the people around him asked Jiang Nuan, "I see that the back of your paper is full of big questions. You can do it?"

"I've done it all, I don't know if it's right or not." Jiang Nuan smiled and touched his head.

"There will definitely be steps!"

At this time, Zhou Yan, who was in front of him, turned around and said, "If it wasn't for Lu Ran, how many questions could you solve?"

After speaking, Zhou Yan took the bag and left.

Jiang Nuan didn't have time to talk to Zhou Yan, Rao Can and Doudou should be waiting for her.

Who knew that she had just walked out of the classroom when she received a call from Rao Can.

"Xiao Nuan - Doudou has an accident!"

"What happened to Doudou? What happened to her?"

"She was caught cheating in the math test by the invigilator and was taken to the grade office! Director Zhang of the teaching office is furious!"

"I'm coming!"

Jiang Nuan immediately carried his bag and ran in the corridor.

Cheng Doudou's bear-like appearance, where is the material for cheating! There must be something wrong here!
