Chapter 32: The "corrupted" Lu Ran

Fortunately, she clenched it tightly, took a deep breath, and Jiang Nuan connected the phone.

"Hello?" She gently hid under the quilt.

"Are you happy?" Lu Ran's voice was also very soft, which made Jiang Nuan wonder if he was also lying under the quilt to pick up her phone.

"Yeah." Don't laugh at me! Don't ruin my mood before going to bed!

"Don't be too happy too soon."

Look, you know this guy can throw cold water.

Next, it must be said that the training will be very hard, the father will be very strict, the competition will be fierce...and so on.

"Because the happier time is yet to come. I close my eyes and I imagine you're holding on to your success, running around the fencing hall, everyone applauding you, you're the pride of everyone."

Jiang Nuan froze there, inexplicably, her tears fell.

"Lu Ran... I don't want to be everyone's pride, all I dream of is to catch up with you somewhere... Let the audience look at me and you are also proud of me." Jiang Nuan wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"You must be a fool. I've always been proud of you and never had to wait until that moment."

Jiang Nuan clasped her phone and opened her eyes.

"Good night."

The phone hangs up.

Jiang Nuan curled up all over. She wanted to grasp every word and every word that Lu Ran said and hug her, for fear that she would wake up the next day and find that none of this happened.

In the morning, Jiang Nuan, who lacked sleep, was called by his mother and sat at the dining table.

Dad handed her a piece of paper and said, "Since you have decided to participate in the competition, you need to do some training. But let me make it clear to you, your grades must remain in the top three exam rooms, if you fall out If you do, I won't let you participate in the game."

When Jiang Nuan heard this, she immediately became nervous.

This is a two-pronged approach to learning and training, grasping with both hands, and a rhythm that requires both hands to be hard!

When she opened the training schedule, she almost fainted.

Get up at 5:30 in the morning for physical training!

She suddenly thought of Lu Ran, who seemed to have persisted like this all along.

How about... try it?

wrong! It must be done!

After breakfast, Jiang Nuan stood at the door waiting for the elevator with her schoolbag on her back. She had an inexplicable expectation in her heart.

Lu Ran, Lu Ran, Lu Ran, Lu Ran must be in the elevator.

As a result, when the elevator door opened, Jiang Nuan was disappointed, it was empty and no one was there.

She didn't rush in until the elevator almost closed.

When she came downstairs, she saw Lu Ran standing at the gate.

Eh? Is he waiting for her?

Come on, Jiang Nuan, self-love is also a disease.

She ran behind Lu Ran and patted him on the shoulder: "Why haven't you left yet?"

As soon as he lowered his head, Jiang Nuan saw that Lu Ran's bicycle lock was sawed off and fell to the ground, and the bicycle was long gone.

"Ahhahahaha!" Jiang Nuan smiled unconscionably, "It seems that your bicycle has been stolen by thieves just like mine! What is this called - flying together! Hahahaha!"

Lu Ran turned around, pressed Jiang Nuan's head directly, and walked towards the station.

Jiang Nuan quickly chased after him.

The two got into the car one after the other.

There was only one seat, so Lu Ran hung on the ring next to the seat. Even if he was a little gentleman, Jiang Nuan squeezed in from Lu Ran's side, and sat down like a small landlord with his schoolbag in his arms.

All the way, Lu Ran looked out the window, but Jiang Nuan couldn't help but look up at Lu Ran.

When the car shook, Jiang Nuan hurriedly lowered her head, but after a while, she looked up again.

From this angle, only Lu Ran's neck and chin can be seen.

But even so, Jiang Nuan also agrees with Rao Can's evaluation of her "exotic beauty".

Lu Ran is really pretty. How could I have felt that Kumozhi was better before?

When the car arrived at the station, Lu Ran lowered his head, gently tugged at the strap of Jiang Nuan's schoolbag, and said, "Get off the bus."

Jiang Nuan got up immediately, followed quickly, and the two entered the school one after the other.

Back in class, everyone was catching up with yesterday's homework before the morning reading, or correcting the answer.

Jiang Nuan took out his mock paper and exercise set, touched Lu Ran with his elbow, and whispered, "Show me. My dad said that if I fall out of the third exam room, I will still be in the summer vacation. Don't let me play."

The math textbook that Lu Ran put on the table had already been turned over to the second semester of the third year of high school. That was the progress of the Rockets.

He stretched out his hand, flipped through Jiang Nuan's homework, and then circled a few questions for her.

"Did it go wrong?"

"Well. Think about it for yourself. I can't think of it."

"It's always a good thing." Jiang Nuan knew that Lu Ran was doing her good. After all, no one could teach her in the exam room, so she took out the training table that her father made up for her and moved it to Lu Ran's side, "Give it to me again. Look at this. I feel like...out of my reach."

Lu Ran didn't say anything, just took it and looked at it.

Just as Jiang Nuan made a question that he did wrong, he heard Lu Ran say, "You are a girl after all, and the training intensity is similar to Mu Sheng, Xu Zitian and the others. I will discuss it with your father."

Hearing what Lu Ran said, Jiang Nuan let out a long breath.

On one side of his face, Jiang Nuan saw a few comic books from the open zipper of Lu Ran's schoolbag. At first glance, it was "One Piece" that he read on the train to Haichuan City that day.

Jiang Nuan stretched out his hand and pointed, "If you fall out, you're finished."

Lu Ran lowered his head and closed the zipper: "If you're finished, I'm not sure."

Jiang Nuan glanced at the other party, then thought again: "Otherwise you can give it to me, and I'll pay it back."

Going to rent a bookstore to hang out, why don't you think it's not like Lu Ran's arrogant academic tyrant would do it, she should do it for the academic scumbag!

"Then I'll use the rent I paid to borrow the back one." Lu Ran said softly.

"Then I will rent "Hunter" to ensure that your three views will be refreshed."

Lu Ran snorted softly and said nothing.

After class, Jiang Nuan took the comic book from Lu Ran and stuffed it into his schoolbag.

She asked Rao Can and Cheng Doudou to wait for her at the place where they often eat fried rice, and returned the book by herself.

This bookstore is deep in an alley near the school. The owner is playing cards online. Jiang Nuan returned the book, but he still didn't borrow "Hunter", and continued to borrow the back of "One Piece".

After all, some characters in "Hunter" are too beyond the scope of normal people, especially Hisoka. In case Lu Ran can't think of it, it's a red river bank if it's not cos, if cos Hiso, isn't that a scourge to the common people? Or "One Piece" is suitable for Lu Ran, a brainless and passionate person.

Who knew that Jiang Nuan was just walking down the alley of the rental bookstore when she saw Director Zhang from the teaching office looking at her with his arms crossed.

Jiang Nuan's heart skipped a beat.

In the eyes of teachers, comic books are all "contraband", and they are called two "cancers" together with online games. If they are caught, their "student license" will be revoked!

take it easy!

Don't beat yourself up!

Director Zhang is not necessarily standing there to catch you!

Jiang Nuan flipped his schoolbag up, turned around, and was about to go back and leave from the other side. Who knew that Director Zhang had spoken.

"Jiang Nuan—you saw me, didn't you even say hello?"

The moment Director Zhang's voice was raised, it was particularly loud in the depths of this secluded alley, and Jiang Nuan's heart skipped a beat from his throat.

She turned around stiffly, lowered her head and said, "Hello, Director Zhang..."

As Director Zhang's footsteps got closer and closer, it was obvious that he had come prepared with a clear purpose. Jiang Nuan closed his eyes and thought, "It's over, it's over... This time, it is estimated that the parents will be called.

Thinking of the look on her mother's face when she saw the large comic books spread out on the teacher's desk, she wished she could hit the wall and lose her memory again!

About half an hour later, Lu Ran, who was eating in the school cafeteria, heard the voice rushing towards him. He subconsciously turned around and saw Cheng Doudou, who was out of breath, followed by Rao Can.

"It's not good! It's not good! Something happened to Xiao Nuan!"

I saw Lu Ran's indifferent expression, his eyes suddenly tightened, and when he stood up, his chopsticks fell to the ground, making a crackling sound, and all the students around looked at him.

"What's up with her?"

Seeing Lu Ran's expression, Rao Can quickly suppressed Cheng Doudou.

"Lu Ran, don't worry, she's not in any danger..." Rao Can said in a low voice, "Just when he came out of the bookstore, he was caught by Director Zhang. If he hadn't passed by the shop where we ate fried rice, , we don't know she's 'capsulated in the gutter' yet."

Lu Ran turned his face to the side, exhaled slowly, and turned to leave the cafeteria.

"Lu Ran, where are you going? It's useless when you see Director Zhang interceding for her." Rao Can quickly followed him.

Director Zhang is a very old-fashioned person. In his heart, apart from studying, reading comics, reading novels, and surfing the Internet are all ideological cancers. He wished that students would follow clockwork. Except for eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, time should be spent. used in learning.

"I'm not going to plead for her."

As Lu Ran spoke, he walked towards the grade office with his long legs.

Rao Can and Cheng Doudou were trotting behind, barely keeping up.

"You didn't replace her to intercede, so what are you doing for her?" Cheng Doudou was out of breath behind.

At this time, Jiang Nuan lowered his head, only to hear a "crashing" sound, and Director Zhang threw the comic books that were just rented out on the table.

"Jiang Nuan, Jiang Nuan! You're really good! As soon as you entered the second exam room, you started to do your job!"

Jiang Nuan's head shrank back.

Teacher Nie, the head teacher, stood behind Director Zhang and sighed, looking like he hated iron.

Jiang Nuan's heart turned back and forth, she would definitely be criticized, she would definitely be asked to write a review, or she might even have to call her parents.

Director Zhang was still angrily denounced Jiang Nuan, but Jiang Nuan felt heartbroken.

I knew it earlier... I won't rent it after I return the book!

There is no stolen goods in the bag, and Director Zhang can't do anything to her!

But hindsight is useless!

She was afraid that after she went back, her mother would care about her reading comics, and what should she do if she didn't let her sign up for the competition?

Thinking of this, Jiang Nuan decided to imitate Cheng Doudou's famous stunt, crying to the point of anger, brewing a good mood, it was a big deal to fly on Director Zhang's trouser legs, crying with a heart-wrenching heart!

Just as Jiang Nuanxi was about to start performing, the knock on the door rang loudly, without any hesitation.

"Who—" Director Zhang was still angry, his voice raised an octave impatiently.

"It's me, Lu Ran."

Jiang Nuan was startled, why did Lu Ran come?

"Lu Ran?" Director Zhang frowned and turned around.

Teacher Nie also opened the door, and saw Lu Ran standing there, obviously in a casual posture, but like a tall and straight poplar.

"What's the matter? Teacher and Director Zhang have something to deal with. If you have any questions, can you come back later?"

Hearing Teacher Nie's voice, Jiang Nuan began to think again.

The top students are the top students, and they can always enjoy VIP-level treatment at the teacher's place - as warm as the spring breeze.

"I'm here for Jiang Nuan's business." Lu Ran replied.

"For Jiang Nuan's business?" Director Zhang frowned. "Lu Ran, you've never been a child who can take care of other people's affairs. What happened to you recently? First it was the liberal arts class's leak, and now it's Jiang Nuan?"

"Because one person does things and one person is responsible. Jiang Nuan is going to return comic books for me. If you don't believe me, Director Zhang, I can go to the bookstore with you. The name of the deposit registered there should be mine, not Jiang Nuan."

Lu Ran's words undoubtedly exploded in the office like a bomb.

"What did you say—Lu Ran! How could you borrow these comic books! How could you read these things! What an international joke!" Director Zhang's eyes almost burst out.

"Yeah! Lu Ran...I see! You said before that you couldn't see clearly and wanted to change seats! You even moved to Jiang Nuan's side...you...you shouldn't be...puppy love, right? No...no...you Shouldn't be interested in love...why are you here to protect Jiang Nuan?"

As soon as the head teacher finished speaking, Jiang Nuan choked on his own saliva, and coughed until his lungs split open!

"Teacher, what kind of brain hole do you have! He didn't choose me for his puppy love!" Jiang Nuan couldn't help crying.

Teacher Nie froze for a moment, but Lu Ran stood there without refuting the question.

Director Zhang immediately turned his head and stared at Jiang Nuan: "Tell me! Are you borrowing these books yourself? How could Lu Ran read such a mess!"

"That's right... Lu Ran, I think you usually look at communication engineering in the university. You... why are you looking at this?"

Jiang Nuan glanced at Lu Ran, she was very grateful that Lu Ran would come to take on all this, at least the revolutionary friendship between them could not stand the test, but if things went on like this, the teachers would definitely think that she had corrupted Lu Ran. Of course, a good student who never had any desire for "entertainment" and "love" turned bad.

It's a worse offense than renting comic books.

She will become a thorn in the eyes of the teacher and Director Zhang, a thorn in the flesh.

If it was in the past, Jiang Nuan would have hated Lu Ran for being a disservice, but at this moment, she felt that someone was supporting her. Even if she faced the accusations of her parents later, she could face it with her chest up. .

She swallowed and was about to open her mouth to take all the "criminals" when Lu Ran spoke again.

"I borrowed these books when I went to Haichuan City to watch the college fencing team. Because the three-hour train ride was too boring. Later, I asked Jiang Nuan to help me return the books. I don't know why Teacher Nie and Director Zhang are so sure of you. Put all the mistakes on Jiang Nuan's head. Besides, I have already completed all the content of my senior year of high school, and the weekly fencing training has not made me fall out of the top ten of the grade, so why can't I read comic books? "

Lu Ran's rhetorical question made Director Zhang and the class teacher stunned.

"Lu ... Lu Ran, do you know what you were talking about just now?"

The head teacher looked at him in astonishment. What the kid said completely subverted their understanding of him.

He's in order, he knows what to do and what not to do, he has more self-control than any teenager they've ever met, but this kid has suddenly fallen and gone to comic books, how is that possible?

"Teacher, you still haven't answered me. I've finished my senior year, and I'm almost finished with communication engineering in my freshman year. Why can't I read comic books?" Lu Ran's expression was calm, with a hint of calmness. Chong Jiangnuan had never felt the coldness, as if he had to come up with an answer.

"Because...because this kind of book is not a proper job! This kind of book will corrupt your mind! This kind of book will have a very negative impact on your personality! If you read some world famous books, such as "Les Miserables", "War and Peace" ” and so on, I definitely won’t stop you, but this kind of book won’t work!” Director Zhang couldn’t help roaring out.

Teacher Nie quickly and quietly grabbed Director Zhang and whispered, "Maybe Lu Ran just wanted to help Jiang Nuan cover! They are at the same table!"

Director Zhang's expression softened slightly, but Lu Ran spoke again: "Because I am at the same table, I have taught her everything Jiang Nuan is not familiar with, and she is grateful to me, so I asked her for help. When the book was returned, she happily went."

Teacher Nie kept telling Lu Ran to stop talking with his eyes, but Lu Ran turned a blind eye to the head teacher's suggestion.

"Both of you write a review for me! Call my parents for me! I'll read your review to the whole school on Monday morning!" Director Zhang's forehead was about to burst with blood vessels.

Jiang Nuan looked at Lu Ran stupidly. This was the first time he had "stained" in his "clean" high school career. In the eyes of the teachers, he was like a brave soldier who suddenly went astray.

"Director Zhang, it's okay to write a review. But please tell me, what do I need to review myself?"

"Review yourself—" In Director Zhang's eyes, Lu Ran in front of him seemed to have fallen for evil, completely subverting his impression of him, "You don't need to write a review after reading this kind of book?"

"This kind of book? What's wrong with this kind of book? Because it's not based on words, but pictures? So the content it conveys is not as widely recognized as "War and Peace" or "Les Miserables"? Or do you just avoid things that you don't know? Am I going to write this in the review because I'm moved by the passion in comic books to fight for ideals and beliefs, so I'm corrupted, Make an in-depth review of this?"

Jiang Nuan was completely dumbfounded. She couldn't believe that the expression on Lu Ran's face had not even changed, yet he could say such a thing.

"It's the other way around! You're the other way around!" Director Zhang looked back at Lu Ran and Jiang Nuan's head teacher, Mr. Nie, his face flushed, "This Lu Ran... is he... is he in that rebellious period? Why didn't you? Optimistic about him? He has such a ideological error, how come you didn't find it!"

Teacher Nie was also at a loss: "Lu Ran...I never need anyone to take care of him in his studies! He is still the first in his class and the third in his grade in this monthly exam!"

"Then he's just complacent!"

"Lu Ran, what's the matter with you? Did other classmates take you to read the comics? Just tell the truth, what's the benefit of helping Jiang Nuan carry these?"

"Teacher, because comics and online games are all products of the development of this era. I also want to understand things in this world and understand why my peers like these things. 'Lu Ran will definitely not play games' , 'Lu Ran will never read comics', 'Lu Ran can't do anything except study and fencing', I just broke off from this world. I never thought to be different, but you teachers, but Make the difference between me and other classmates clear."

Director Zhang opened his mouth, but he was speechless for a while, and he was speechless.

"Next step, do you want to switch me and Jiang Nuan? Do you think she brought me down? Just because my grades are good, I do things that don't suit your heart, and someone else will do it for me. What about taking it? Then this will become the most guilt thing in my life, and it will also become the biggest shadow in Jiang Nuan's growth process. This is what you think, teachers, good students will not do what you don't want them to do, once they do It is the result of the influence of other students." Lu Ran replied.

His voice was slow and slow, in stark contrast to Director Zhang's anger.

At that moment, Jiang Nuan felt that no matter what she faced when she went back, even if her parents refused to sign the competition registration form for her, she would have no regrets.

Because all the words she wanted to express, someone said it for her.

"You...you..." Director Zhang was completely at a loss for words.
