Chapter 31: It's you they're digging
"I'm just curious. Your neck is thin and small. You have to fight against Lin Shu with your face shield. What if you get split?" Lu Ran's voice was soft, passing over Jiang Nuan's small neck.
Jiang Nuan's heart was beating, trying to hold onto that breath tightly.
"Don't worry, I will persevere!"
When Jiang Nuan turned around, she saw Lu Ran's curved lips.
When he smiles, he is really good looking.
Jiang Nuan suddenly wanted to ask him if she was the only one who had seen it.
"Have you done it yet? We have chosen a place to go to Haichuan's Flavored Seafood City." Jian Ming asked with a smile.
"Come on! Come on!"
After stopping a few taxis, a group of them went to Seafood City in a mighty manner and directly occupied a large table.
"Jianming, do you want to eat anything?"
"Yes." Jian Ming smiled.
Jiang Nuan hurriedly shook his hand: "Brother Jianming, we don't eat too expensive! It's good enough!"
Mu Sheng also quickly said: "Yes, yes, it's delicious."
Zhuang Yun was delighted: "Jianming, I can't see that your junior, junior, and junior sisters treat you so well! Unlike these little bastards, every time they go out for a dinner, they have to eat and wear my old man."
Jian Ming raised his hand and scratched the tip of Jiang Nuan's nose: "You can't eat enough of me. And with people from Haichuan University, I won't feed my enemies too much."
Jiang Nuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, and lowered his head.
Mu Sheng said in a low voice, "Oh my God, this is the first time I've seen a young girl with a shy expression. It's incredible."
"You're a girl with a shy expression?" Jiang Nuan raised his hand and made a move to beat Mu Sheng.
Although everyone said that they should slaughter a concise meal, this place is originally a cheap seafood city, and the most expensive is abalone and lobster.
I ordered one porridge for lobster, one for abalone, and the rest was stir-fried prawns and the like.
Jiang Nuan likes to eat shrimp. He grabs the shrimp and pushes the shrimp shell into his mouth. The tail of the shrimp just swept across his cheek, leaving a trace.
Jiang Nuan was about to wipe it with the back of her hand, but Jian Ming had already pulled the napkin and wiped it for her.
Zhuang Yun said dissatisfiedly: "Jianming, you are a handsome man. No one in Haichuan is better-looking than you, and you want to trick Jiang Nuan into a big b."
The concise teammates immediately counterattacked: "Zhuang Yun, make yourself look better!"
"It's useless for me to look good. I have a girlfriend. This is to tell the coach that our men's saber team will recruit handsome guys in the future..."
Zhuang Yun looked at Lu Ran and suddenly thought of something: "Lu Ran, otherwise you will come to our Haichuan! It's not a problem for you to take the Haichuan test, we will have handsome guys like this."
"I'll consider it." Lu Ran said lightly.
Jiang Nuan turned her face curiously and asked in a low voice, "Don't you really want to go to the university in the imperial capital?"
"Eat your shrimp."
As soon as Jiang Nuan lowered his head, he found that there were two more shelled shrimps in his bowl.
After eating, Lu Ran and the others played a few team practice matches with B University and the Haichuan fencing team all afternoon.
Although Mu Sheng and Xu Zitian were not as sophisticated as college students, they were still very skilled, and Jiang Nuan, who had seen it all over the place, was terribly excited.
When Lu Ran and Jian Ming confronted each other, they were full of tension, and every sword seemed to pierce the line of sight!
"Noisily cut the miscellaneous bullets, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate."
Jiang Nuan's eyes couldn't keep up with the sharpness of the concise attack and the transition between offense and defense, but Lu Ran, his opponent, was always able to control the rhythm in turn, intercepting and strangling.
The various strategies, feints, and fencing line changes of the saber were vividly displayed.
Obviously fencing is a gentlemanly and dexterous sport, but the confrontation between the two men filled the air with the most explosive androgen hormones.
Although Lu Ran and the others didn't win, it could be seen that everyone was satisfied.
As long as Jiang Nuan closed his eyes, it was all that thrilling and wonderful scene after scene.
Jian Bing is undoubtedly powerful, he is a gap and a mark, and every sword is Lu Ran's determination to cross the past regardless of everything.
All the fencing strategies and tactics burst out brightly, making her eyes want to capture every moment.
The sternness and determination of the concise attack, the dormancy when retreating, and the patience waiting for the spark to flash, all made Jiang Nuan feel terrified and in awe.
His fencing has reached a certain level beyond reach, but Lu Ran can match it, which is another kind of power.
The members of Haichuan University and the B team who were watching the game were stunned, and the surprise was followed by a sense of crisis.
Because they knew very well that in two years, Lu Ran would also become a college student, and would become another daunting opponent after Jianming.
At dusk, Lu Ran and the others had to take the train back to Nanshi, and it was rare for Jianming and Zhuang Yun to send them off together.
At the train station, Jian Ming brought a bag of snacks to Jiang Nuan and touched her head: "Next time I go to Nanshi, I have to visit Master and Master. Otherwise, I won't be able to see my younger sister."
Jiang Nuan lowered her head and her ears turned red again.
"Let's go." Lu Ran took the snacks from Jiang Nuan's hand and pulled Jiang Nuan's wrist into the car.
After sitting down, Jiang Nuan remembered that there was a simple towel on his back.
She lay on the window, took out the towel, and wanted to give it back to Jane.
But Jian Ming did not reach out to pick it up, and replied with a smile: "Next time we meet, give it to me again."
The train started, and the concise figure became farther and farther away. Jiang Nuan only saw his smile gradually blur, and then sat back.
Xu Zitian and Mu Sheng sat in the back, the two chatted, but Lu Ran was very quiet.
It should be said that he has been very quiet.
Jiang Nuan opened the bag, which contained potato chips, yogurt, and plum. It can be said that there are all kinds of snacks that girls may like to eat.
And a box of Ferrero.
Jiang Nuan touched her nose and smiled. It seemed that Jianming couldn't forget the fact that she had to use Ferrero to coax her to go home with her mother when she was a child.
"What do you like to eat?" Jiang Nuan asked Lu Ran next to him, "I'll open it for you."
"I don't eat snacks." Lu Ran replied.
"Oh, you are living a really healthy life." Jiang Nuan pursed her lips, took out a bag of plums, and put it in her mouth.
Xu Zitian and Mu Sheng, who were behind, immediately coaxed: "Let's eat it! Lu Ran won't eat it, let us eat it!"
Jiang Nuan was not stingy, and gave them both potato chips and spicy tofu.
Compared with the two people behind, Jiang Nuan and Lu Ran were too quiet.
Lu Ran leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.
Jiang Nuan asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say you want to go to the university in the imperial capital? Why did you say you would consider it when Zhuang Yun asked you? Don't you want Zhuang Yun to lose face?"
Lu Ran turned his face to the side and slowly opened his eyes. After a long time, he replied, "Didn't you say that Haichuan University is also good?"
Jiang Nuan narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"But I will try my best to go to the imperial capital."
"Because Jane is there?" Lu Ran asked.
"no."
Because you want to go there.
Because with you, I have grown up.
Their train kept going.
Jiang Nuan looked out the window, just in time to see Lu Ran's profile from the reflection of the glass.
She had wanted to get rid of him.
Get rid of the shadows and pressures he brings to her.
But at the dining table, when she realized that university meant separation, Jiang Nuan suddenly became afraid.
Because she didn't want to part ways with Lu Ran while singing "Those Flowers" with her classmates.
The car arrived, and Mu Sheng and Xu Zitian went home.
Lu Ran was still carrying his bag, Jiang Nuan's backpack in his right hand, and stopped a taxi to go home.
When stepping out of the elevator, Jiang Nuan turned back subconsciously, and she found that Lu Ran was also looking at her, just like when she was competing with Lin Shu.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ran asked softly.
"nothing."
Jiang Nuan turned around and went to ring the doorbell.
She took a beautiful bath, washed the simple towel with soap with her own hands, and hung it on the balcony.
As soon as she came out, she saw her father standing on the balcony with his arms on his hips, chatting with someone, looking very excited, and then locked himself in the study.
"Mom - what happened to my dad?"
"It seems to be a call from an old friend. Don't worry about him, sleep well, and finish your homework tomorrow and Sunday. Otherwise, your dad won't let you go out to play in the future."
"I know I know!"
Back in the room, it was almost eleven o'clock, but Jiang Nuan didn't want to sleep.
If she wants to go to the imperial capital, she can't do it without hard work.
After finding out his own mock papers, Jiang Nuan began to do it one by one.
The next afternoon, Jiang Huai saw a boy with a pocket in his hand at the gate of the fencing hall, standing there with a reluctant look on his face.
I want to go in and come back.
Jiang Huai felt strange: "Who is that?"
Another coach slapped his thigh and said, "I know who he is! He is Lin Shu! He learned fencing from Coach Liang in Haichuan City. What is he doing here?"
Xu Zitian, who was practicing swordsmanship, ran over as soon as he heard the word "Lin Shu".
"He really came to Coach Jiang to apologize!"
After Xu Zitian shouted like this, Mu Sheng also came over.
"Go to the door to apologize? Why?" Jiang Huai didn't understand.
"This kid was disrespectful to Coach Jiang at Haichuan University, and he was taught a lesson by the younger sister!" Xu Zitian said it without thinking, and gave Mu Sheng a slap in the back of his head.
"Who told you to mention Junior Sister? Malatang, you've eaten it for nothing!"
Mu Sheng still remembered that they had promised Jiang Nuan to keep secret where she practiced fencing. At this moment, Xu Zitian said that Jiang Nuan challenged Lin Shu, which Coach Jiang would definitely ask afterwards.
"That's Lin Shu..." Jiang Huai lowered his head and smiled.
Lu Ran also took off his mask and walked to the door. Lin Shu saw that they all came to the door to watch him, and looked like he was about to leave.
"Lin Shu! Why don't you come in when you're already at the door? You came to our Nanshi from Haichuan City just to see each other so far from the door? Coach Jiang can't understand what you want to say." Mu Sheng said.
Lin Shu snorted, broke the jar, and came to Coach Jiang, bowed 90 degrees quickly, and spoke very fast: "Coach Jiang - I'm so sorry I have demeaned your ability outside the world without knowing anything. And the contribution to the sword altar! Never again!"
"Young man...Aren't you tired of talking for so long?" Jiang Huai asked with a smile.
"Not tired." Lin Shu still lowered his head, his ears turning red.
"But I didn't hear the rest except for the sentence 'Coach Jiang' you said at the beginning."
After Jiang Huai said this, Xu Zitian and Mu Sheng behind him laughed unkindly.
Lin Shu raised his head and frowned as if he was about to freak out. He thought Jiang Huai was teasing him, but it was Jiang Huai's smiling eyes.
"Everyone here is a guest, come in. Just in time, I also want to have a chat with an excellent young man like you."
Lin Shu didn't want to go in at first, but Jiang Huai's words "excellent young man" made him feel complacent, so he went in.
As he walked, he looked around.
When he sat down, he was still looking around.
Xu Zitian couldn't help but ask: "You're turning your head around, you're almost catching up with the monkey. What are you looking for?"
"It's so obvious that you can't see it? He's looking for a junior sister." Mu Sheng whispered in Xu Zitian's ear.
"But Junior Sister...isn't here..."
"Let's go! Go! We're only halfway through our practice! Go on!" Mu Sheng pulled Xu Zitian away.
Lu Ran also pressed down his face shield and went back to practice.
Without them watching, Lin Shu felt a lot more at ease.
"I watched your fight with my daughter that day."
Lin Shu raised his head, a little surprised: "That little girl is your daughter..."
"What's the matter? I don't look like my daughter?" Jiang Huai dress asked angrily.
"Like...like..." Lin Shu lowered his head and whispered, "So cute, where does it look like..."
"It stands to reason that her battle experience is not as good as yours, and her explosiveness and speed are not as good as yours, but have you ever wondered why she can get so many points from you?" Jiang Huai asked.
"Because... I actually thought about it for a long time. In terms of battle strategy, she chose not to confront me head-on, and her evasion was very effective."
"Well, what else?"
"Also, her pace is very light, which makes her attack seem to be easily counterattacked by defense, but in fact, if she is not careful, she rushes in front of me. She has a better grasp of the distance between defense and attack than me. Too much."
"Anything else?"
Although Lin Shu wondered in his heart, was Jiang Huai looking for a sense of victory in his self-reflection?
"And in the late game, I've been annoyed by her feints, revealing effective scoring positions."
Jiang Huai nodded with a smile: "Look, in fact, if my daughter were to play against you once, she might not get 10 points."
Lin Shu was stunned.
"Occasional losses are nothing special. The key is to not mess up here." Jiang Huai's fist knocked on his heart, "Our fencing is a competitive sport to overcome the enemy by surprise. If your opponent is always in your expectations. Inside, it's boring, isn't it?"
"Thank you Coach Jiang." At this moment, Lin Shu really felt that the words he said at the door of the bathroom were inappropriate. He lowered his head sincerely and said, "Coach Jiang, I'm sorry, I was too rude before."
"Silly child. The achievements of our predecessors were originally created to be surpassed by you. If you don't have the pride in your heart that what we have accomplished is nothing, then you have no ambition to surpass it. "
Lin Shu's head lowered even more.
"And I thank you too."
"Thank me? Thank me for what?" Lin Shu raised his head and asked incomprehensibly.
"Thank you for letting me... get to know my own daughter better. I always thought that the path I chose for her must be the best, but I was wrong. She herself can go as wonderfully as possible."
When leaving the Huaifeng Fencing Club, Lin Shu asked Jiang Huai, "By the way, Coach Jiang, I don't know what your daughter's name is."
"Her name is Jiang Nuan."
"Jiang Nuan?"
"The 'Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet' that 'Jiang Nuan'."
Lin Shu smiled: "Then Coach Jiang must tell Jiang Nuan when he goes back, I came to apologize!"
"Okay, I know! You little kids!"
Xu Zitian tilted his head to watch Lin Shu leave, and muttered, "No, this guy has heard the name of the little junior sister!"
"He can still eat the little sister!"
At night, when everyone packed up and went home, Lu Ran was sitting in Jiang Huai's car on the way home.
When the car stopped at the traffic light, Jiang Huai suddenly said, "Actually, I know that you support Xiaonuan in taking the fencing road, right?"
"Yes." Lu Ran replied.
"Why?" Jiang Huai asked curiously, "From the first day I saw you, I felt that you were not as calm and rational as a child of this age. You will plan your life and future, but if Xiaonuan goes Practicing fencing and becoming an athlete... I'm afraid she'll be like me, even under pressure that I can't even handle."
"I'm not on the path I planned now, but I feel very happy. Coach Jiang, Xiao Nuan is special. She is so special that as long as I hold a sword and fight her once, I will change myself. However, there is no sword. The Xiao Nuan is very ordinary, so ordinary that I almost can't see the real her."
"Then, as a father, I really don't know what to do. I'm afraid that I knew she chose a hard path, but I didn't stop her. She would blame me when she cried hard." Jiang Huai stepped on the accelerator and opened the door. went out, "Lu Ran, what would you do if you were me?"
"I want her to grow wild and finally shine."
That night, Jiang Nuan had just finished his homework, stretched out, and was proud of the mock paper he had written, when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Xiao Nuan, are you asleep? Dad has something to tell you."
"Ah? Dad!" Jiang Nuan opened the door.
The father and daughter sat there facing each other, Jiang Nuan looked up at his father, and then immediately lowered his head.
"Dad, I haven't bought a cannonball recently, and I listened carefully in class. You're so serious, I'll be nervous."
"I got two calls last night, you know that."
"Ok…"
He also talked for a long time, and his face was full of excitement, and his face was full of oil.
"One is the head coach of the Haichuan University fencing team, and the other is the head coach of the B-big fencing team. They are all my former teammates in the national team."
"Dad, they are going to dig you!" Jiang Nuan raised his head, and little stars were about to shine in his eyes.
"They're going to dig people, but it's not me... it's you."
Jiang Nuan almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"Dig... dig me for what?"
"Because in the college fencing team, it is difficult to find a female saber player who can compete with Lin Shu to that level."
Jiang Nuan was stunned for a while. She looked at her father's eyes carefully, trying to understand his true thoughts and intentions.
Is he angry?
He guessed that she must be practicing swords somewhere?
He knew that every time she said what kind of chemistry cram school she was taking, it was a lie?
Jiang Nuan pinched her sleeve and became nervous.
"The summer vacation is the National Youth Fencing League. There are still more than two months. I thought about it. My daughter... I still have to teach myself."
Jiang Huai's "personal teaching" was very serious, and Jiang Nuan's heart also jumped.
"Dad...are you serious?"
"Seriously, of course. Otherwise, if you become an Olympic champion, the coach is still someone else, how embarrassed will I be?" Jiang Huai asked back.
Jiang Nuan stared blankly at Jiang Huai, like a galloping horse in her heart, she jumped up and hugged Dad's neck.
"Dad! Dad! Great! Great! Dad!"
For the first time, Jiang Nuan was so happy that she wanted to run around the world for a week!
Jiang Huai hugged his daughter tightly. He didn't know how long it had been. For the first time, his daughter hugged him so happily.
That night, Jiang Nuan was so happy that she couldn't sleep at all. She pushed the quilt back and forth, holding her mobile phone and trying to make crazy calls to everyone.
She opened the phone address book, and the first thing that came to her mind was Rao Can, but she didn't press it down, Rao Can should have fallen asleep by now.
Or Cheng Doudou... She is watching idol dramas secretly even if she is not sleeping.
They'd be happy for her, but... they couldn't understand what it really meant to her.
She slid her finger on the word "Lu Ran", and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She remembered the way he looked at her when she and Lin Shu were fighting.
She knew, Lu Ran definitely understood.
Maybe in this world... only Lu Ran would understand.
She sent him a text message: My dad is going to teach me fencing himself!
After sending it successfully, she felt so stupid!
What do you expect Lu Ran to answer you?
It's sure to reward you with an "um".
Jiang Nuan was about to throw the phone back on the desk, but who knew it would vibrate.
The words "Lu Ran" shone brightly, making Jiang Nuan almost drop the phone.
