Chapter 34: Neurosis is coming
But before she said "I like you", Lu Ran interrupted her.
"If I made you into someone who doesn't even like yourself, I would feel guilty." Lu Ran was serious.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... I'm sorry..."
"You didn't apologize to me, so you don't have to keep saying sorry to me. Goodbye, Zhou Yan."
After speaking, Lu Ran turned around and walked across the playground.
Jiang Nuan lay there, feeling uneasy.
She didn't know what to say. Lu Ran asked Zhou Yan to change seats by herself, which sounded very inhumane and cold, but Jiang Nuan knew that Lu Ran's ruthlessness was to make Zhou Yan change from this kind of Come out of the negative emotions.
If you fall in, you can only climb up.
Jiang Nuan and the three of them took the bus home.
She hung the ring and was squeezed around, but what Lu Ran said was what she was thinking about.
——For me, liking someone is to make myself outstanding for her, to do things for her that I have never dared to do, and for her to make myself outstanding enough to make her proud of me.
So such a girl, does she exist?
Let Lu Ran be like a butterfly breaking through the cocoon, breaking through everything and flying high into the sky.
Does such an ideal girl really exist?
"Xiao Nuan! Xiao Nuan!" Rao Can's voice sounded in his ears.
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"I'm at the station. I'll get off first. I see you're in a daze. I'm afraid you're sitting at the wrong station."
"Oh, okay, don't worry, I won't be wrong."
"Who knows then." Rao Can left with a smile.
When Jiang Nuan came to the door, he happened to see Lu Ran carrying the garbage bag down, opened the trash can, and threw it in neatly.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Nuan's knee: "Who are you kneeling with, your pants are so dirty."
Jiang Nuan lowered her head and found that there were just two patches of ash on her knees, which were stained when she was lying on the green belt.
She quickly lowered her head and patted it off.
When she walked into the unit, she found that the elevator door was open, and Lu Ran was waiting for her while pressing the button.
She walked in, glanced at Lu Ran's profile, and lowered her head.
"Didn't you leave the classroom first, why did you arrive home later than me?"
"...Rao Can and I were delayed on the road for a while..."
"Did you eat all the mess?"
"Ah... um."
She couldn't let Lu Ran know that she was listening to the corner, so she missed a bus.
At this time, Jiang Nuan reached the floor, and she walked out, but because she couldn't help it, she turned around and held the elevator.
"That Lu Ran..."
"what?"
"What kind of girl do you like?"
After Jiang Nuan finished speaking, he felt stupid. Are you familiar with Lu Ran? Ask him such questions.
What if Lu Ran thinks you still have thoughts about her?
And Lu Ran will definitely hit you.
"Forget it, I'll just ask casually."
Jiang Nuan was about to turn around, but Lu Ran spoke up.
"The girl I like is magnanimous and open-minded, and she never gives up easily in her pursuit."
"I thought you would say that she is beautiful, confident, charming, and has extraordinary taste!" Jiang Nuan smiled.
Girls are petty, and it is not easy to be open-minded.
"I'll correct it now. The girl I like is not confident, but a little narcissistic."
The corners of Lu Ran's lips were slightly sunken. When Jiang Nuan was in a daze, the elevator door was already closed.
"What the heck is narcissism? Sure enough, people are grouped together! Lu Ran is so narcissistic, and the people he likes must also be narcissistic!"
Jiang Nuan crooked his mouth and went home.
In the evening, Dad gave her a new training plan, which was more likely to be fully implemented than the previous version.
This also means that she must study more efficiently every night, otherwise she will not be able to complete the basic training due to lack of sleep.
Probably because she set herself a goal. At ten o'clock, if she still has problems she doesn't understand, she will take the initiative to go upstairs to find Lu Ran.
And at 5:30 in the morning the next day, she would get up to practice in the morning.
Jiang Nuan was a little surprised to meet Lu Ran wearing short sleeves and sweatpants in the elevator.
He seemed to have expected to meet Jiang Nuan, and threw a pedometer to her.
Jiang Nuan tried to pin it on her arm, but one hand was a bit clumsy to operate. Lu Ran had already stepped out of the elevator, and she was still struggling with the pedometer inside. Seeing that the elevator door was about to close again, Lu Ran turned around. Lock the door.
"Come out, I'll put it on for you."
"Oh."
Jiang Nuan hurried out, Lu Ran lowered his head, and wrapped the pedometer around Jiang Nuan's arm.
He lowered his head and turned his face sideways with concentration, even the slightly upward lashes were clearly visible.
"Let's go. You run with me. The route I choose is less crowded."
"it is good."
Dad originally wanted Jiang Nuan to follow Lu Ran.
She followed behind Lu Ran, ran out of the yard, away from the lively market, and ran around the park.
Lu Ran's endurance and speed have always been good, but in order for Jiang Nuan to keep up, he ran significantly slower than usual.
Jiang Nuan hadn't run for such a long time in a while, so he stopped by the side of the road and braced his knees to adjust his breathing.
Lu Ran came to her side, pulled her wrist and walked forward.
"Walk slowly when you can't run, don't do this, it will put a burden on the heart."
"Don't worry about me, run ahead first."
"I'm fine."
The two walked for a short while, and Jiang Nuan continued to run forward with Lu Ran.
After a half-hour morning run, Jiang Nuan returned home, recorded information such as the number of steps, took a shower, and hurried to eat. When he came downstairs, he saw Lu Ran carrying a schoolbag on his back. wait for yourself.
Jiang Nuan squinted and smiled, and quickly followed him.
Lu Ran didn't say anything and took her to squeeze the bus.
All day in class, Zhou Yan on the right side of Lu Ran was very quiet, never said a word to him or asked a question.
This made Jiang Nuan a little uncomfortable.
The last class in the morning happened to be the class teacher's class. When the get out of class was over, Zhou Yan changed two rows back.
Jiang Nuan, like she didn't know what Lu Ran said to Zhou Yan, lowered her head and recorded the homework to be done that day.
Each of them has their own trajectory, because the influence of each other constantly adjusts their direction, but in the end, they should also go in the direction they always want.
When they were young, they would probably engrave in their hearts everything that the person in their hearts said and did, but when they grow up, they will look back and find that the self who revolves around others is very stupid.
It's not time to let go of the past.
But the world has become bigger, and there are more things that can be put into the heart.
Jiang Nuan turned her face to the side and glanced at Lu Ran.
When your world is no longer the High School Affiliated to Normal University and the Huaifeng Fencing Club, will you think it was a foolish thing to protect me like this?
On Friday, everyone's heart is going to go home, and the speed of packing schoolbags is faster than usual.
Jiang Nuan saw that Lu Ran, who was beside him, had already put away his schoolbag, and was slapping his shoulders, and hurriedly speeded up.
As a result, Jiang Nuan accidentally hit his pencil case on the ground, and it fell out.
And Lu Ran, who was about to leave the group, turned around, put the schoolbag on the table, pulled out the rows of chairs, retrieved Jiang Nuan's pens, and put them back in the pen bag for her.
"Pack your schoolbag, what are you in a hurry?"
Jiang Nuan opened his mouth and almost said, "I'm afraid you won't wait for me", but quickly put it back and didn't say anything.
Lu Ran turned sideways, took out the exercise book and the simulation volume that Jiang Nuan had not had time to put in from the drawer, paused on the table, and was stunned when he opened Jiang Nuan's schoolbag and was about to put it in.
"You are so messy, where can you put it down?"
"...Because I'm in a hurry."
"There are so many buses, so what's the hurry?"
Lu Ran didn't look up at her, but took out all the messy books in her bag, rearranged them, and put them in neatly.
The originally full bag suddenly had a lot of room to spare.
"gone."
Lu Ran carried Jiang Nuan's schoolbag with one hand and walked to the door.
"I...I carry it myself!"
Jiang Nuan followed.
"There are so many books, if you don't grow tall enough, you will blame me for laughing at you again."
Lu Ran walked ahead without looking back, but Jiang Nuan wanted to see his expression clearly.
Walking on the campus, seeing Lu Ran carrying a schoolbag on his shoulders, carrying one in his hand, and a Luffy hanging on the schoolbag, many people looked over curiously.
Jiang Nuan lowered his head and followed behind.
Not far away, Rao Can and Cheng Doudou were standing there waiting for her, Rao Can smiled meaningfully.
When they walked out of the school, they saw a lot of girls looking towards the door on the right. Jiang Nuan followed their line of sight, and saw a tall boy, dressed in the school uniform of another school, looking at the school with his pockets in his pockets. school gate.
Occasionally, he would grab other classmates after school and ask them in an arrogant tone: "Hey! Do you know which class Jiang Nuan is in? Has she finished school yet?"
Probably because this guy is good looking, his peach eyes didn't forget to discharge while questioning, and the girls who were dragged by him were embarrassed.
"Jiang Nuan...she left the school just behind me..."
Jiang Nuan's eyes widened - isn't that boy Lin Shu's neuropathy!
Isn't he from Haichuan City?
What did he do in their high school attached to Nanshi Normal University!
Jiang Nuan immediately turned his head and tried to walk to Lu Ran's side, asking her to block him, who knew that Lin Shu had already seen her.
"Jiang Nuan—"
With such a sound, the classmates who left the school all looked over.
Jiang Nuan didn't mean to stop at all.
Rao Can and Cheng Doudou grabbed her.
"Xiao Nuan, that boy called you!"
"who is he!"
"Go away! Don't know me!"
As soon as he saw Lin Shu, Jiang Nuan remembered the wrist that was twisted by this guy.
She tugged at Lu Ran, lowered her voice and said, "Is that madman coming to me for provocation and revenge?"
When he looked up, he found that Lu Ran's brows were very tight.
Lin Shu had already come to them and stopped Jiang Nuan directly.
He lowered his head and looked at Jiang Nuan with a smile. His originally arrogant temperament instantly became peach blossoms, and Jiang Nuan immediately shrank behind Lu Ran.
Lin Shu smiled: "What are you hiding? I won't eat you."
Rao Can and Cheng Doudou held hands and stood aside.
"I feel murderous." Rao Can said.
"Who's going to kill whom?" Cheng Doudou asked incomprehensibly.
"Obviously Lu Ran is going to kill this man."
"Lin Shu, what are you doing here?" Lu Ran's cold voice sounded.
"Last time I was 'instructed' by Jiang Nuan at Haichuan University, and I felt that I had benefited a lot. If you just want to make progress, of course, you must often learn from each other.
Today is the weekend, and I want to find Coach Jiang to arrange to practice against you. "
As if he couldn't feel Lu Ran's icy attitude, Lin Shu kept turning sideways, trying to catch Jiang Nuan out.
"Then you should go to 'Huaifeng' to find Coach Jiang instead of hanging out at the gate of our school."
Lin Shu raised his eyes to look at Lu Ran, and said, "You're not Jiang Nuan's father, why are you so old-fashioned."
As long as he can drive this guy away, Jiang Nuan can call Lu Ran "Dad" a hundred times.
"We're going home now." After Lu Ran said, he walked forward.
Jiang Nuan quickly followed.
Lin Shu was about to grab Jiang Nuan, but Lu Ran stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Nuan's head behind him, immediately blocking her in front of her.
"What do you want to do?" Lu Ran said.
"The atmosphere is very solemn." Cheng Doudou took a breath.
"When the two powerhouses meet, I will use tarot cards tonight to give Xiaonuan a fortune calculation."
"It's nothing, I twisted her wrist at Haichuan University last time, and I may be rude and friendly in retrospect, so I want to invite Jiang Nuan to dinner, which is an apology."
Lin Shuxiao's people and animals are harmless, but Jiang Nuan still remembers this guy's presumptuous appearance.
He turned his head and looked at Rao Can and Cheng Doudou: "You are all good friends of Jiang Nuan, right? I invite you to have dinner together?"
"No need! I'm going home for dinner tonight!"
"Then tomorrow? We finish sword practice and then eat. Invite Coach Jiang with you?" Lin Shu followed Jiang Nuan. Jiang Nuan hid beside Lu Ran with his head down, and Lu Ran stared coldly ahead.
Rao Can and Cheng Doudou who followed behind felt the atmosphere tense.
"The sword is drawn."
"It feels like a duel in the street in the next second."
"no, I'm fine!"
Jiang Nuan waved, they finally arrived at the bus stop, Lin Shu was still beside him without caring at all.
As soon as the bus came, Jiang Nuan rushed up like a happy rabbit.
Lu Ran went up behind her. Jiang Nuan thought that Lin Shu didn't have a bus card and would have to turn over the change. Who knew he would brazenly say to Cheng Doudou, "Little fairy, help me brush it."
"Oh……"
That fool Cheng Doudou actually brushed him!
There were a lot of people on the bus, and it happened to be during the peak hours of school and get off work. The passengers were crowding around. Lu Ran was holding the lifting ring with one hand and Jiang Nuan's schoolbag with the other.
Jiang Nuan lowered his head, but Lin Shu got closer and closer, even squeezing, squeezing directly to Jiang Nuan's side.
"Jiang Nuan, I went to Huaifeng last weekend to apologize to your father."
Lin Shu said while leaning his face over.
Jiang Nuan turned her face to the other side, and half of her body was tightly pressed against Lu Ran's body.
There was no expression on Lu Ran's face, and he didn't look at Lin Shu.
"If you fulfill the bet, then we'll settle." Jiang Nuan replied.
"What did you say? There were too many people I couldn't hear."
This guy Lin Shu definitely did it on purpose.
"I said that since you fulfilled the agreement, the two of us are cleared--" Jiang Nuan shouted loudly, and the students on the bus and the adults who got off work all looked over.
"Then why didn't I see you at your father's place?" Lin Shu didn't care about the sight of these people, and continued to lean towards Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan turned sideways, and at the moment when the bus shook, Jiang Nuan cleverly got into the gap between Lu Ran and the seat.
Lin Shu was about to move forward when Lu Ran suddenly changed the position of the lifting ring and pressed it directly on the seat, blocking Lin Shu.
Jiang Nuan couldn't squeeze anymore, turned his face to the other side, and deliberately put on an expression of "I don't want to see you".
Cheng Doudou and Rao Can, who were squeezed not far away, were watching the play on tiptoe.
"I think it's going to be crazy this weekend," Rao Can said.
"I think that Lin Shu is quite handsome!" Cheng Doudou commented madly.
"Then Lu Ran and Lin Shu, which one do you choose?"
"Definitely Lin Shu. Lu Ran is so serious, every day with him must be like a class. Lin Shu is so good, and he will chase Xiaonuan from Haichuan City to Nanshi!"
Rao Can sighed helplessly: "Then do you want Xiao Nuan to choose Lin Shu or Lu Ran?"
Cheng Doudou thought about it very seriously, and replied, "It's still Lu Ran... Otherwise, no one will teach us what we don't know!"
"So, Lu Ran is a little boring, but it's practical. This Lin Shu, if you prefer tension and excitement, you can choose him. Then again, Doudou, you don't like to ride a roller coaster either."
"Don't we all love each other?"
"That's it." Rao Can smiled.
At this time, Jiang Nuan's neck was almost crooked.
Why didn't this Lin Shu get out of the car?
Lu Ran's arm was lying there, and Lin Shu could no longer take a step beyond the thunderous pool.
He didn't speak anymore, just smiled and looked at Jiang Nuan who was almost surrounded by Lu Ran.
At the next stop, the doors opened and another passenger squeezed in.
Jiang Nuan was almost crushed. Lu Ran, who was standing in front of her, was bumped and leaned towards her. She buried herself in Lu Ran's chest.
There is a pleasant smell of sun drying on his body, and there is a faint fragrance like pine and cypress after the snow around his neck. At first it smelled very cold, but it overflowed into the depths, but it was warm. .
Just like him.
Jiang Nuan simply pressed half of his face against Lu Ran's chest, anyway... he didn't hide anyway! Didn't push her!
Who knew that Lin Shu's neuropathy would actually speak again.
"Hey, Lu Ran... What shower gel do you usually use?"
Lu Ran didn't answer him at all.
But Lin Shu didn't mean to stop, and continued: "Jiang Nuan, does Lu Ran smell good? You're about to get into his bones."
Jiang Nuan's heart skipped a beat, his blood almost rushed to the top of his forehead, wishing he could lift a big knife and chop off Lin Shu's head directly.
Why is this guy so annoying!
Jiang Nuan raised his head and glared at him fiercely.
Only then did he realize that Lin Shu had been looking at her the whole time, the corners of his mouth were hooked, Jiang Nuan gritted his teeth, and continued to tilt his head away from him.
After finally getting out of the car, Lu Ran's hand released, Jiang Nuan was still thinking about how to squeeze out of the crowd, who knew that Lin Shu actually grabbed her left hand.
"I'll take you out."
The devil wants it!
Before Jiang Nuan made a sound, he grabbed his right wrist as well. With that kind of strength and touch, no one except Lu Ran would be.
He was almost squeezed to the exit door, Jiang Nuan was pulled by him, and there was a fuel bottle Lin Shu behind.
When they got out of the car, Jiang Nuan looked at the refreshed Lin Shu with a dark face.
"Why are you here? Where are you going, where are you going!"
"Yeah, where should I go, isn't this the place to go?"
Jiang Nuan stomped and said to Lu Ran, "Let's go! Let's go home!"
Lin Shu was stunned for a while, then pointed to the two of them: "No way? How old are you, so you live together?"
Jiang Nuan was about to go crazy: "Crazy!"
Lu Ran didn't speak, he pressed the elevator button, Jiang Nuan followed him in, and that Lin Shu actually followed up, which was unbearable.
"Where on earth did you live in Nanshi? Stop following us!"
Jiang Nuan originally thought that Lin Shu would go back by train after running to check his presence, but it seems that there is no such trend at present.
"Wherever you go, I will go."
Jiang Nuan took a deep breath, and as soon as the elevator door opened, she rushed out and shouted, "See you in the morning, Lu Ranming!"
This time, she didn't know how much she expected Lu Ran to send her home directly.
When she turned around, she didn't expect that Lin Shu was still following behind her.
With his hands in his pockets, he looked leisurely.
Okay, can you still stay at my house?
Jiang Nuan pressed the doorbell, the door opened, and her mother said with a smile, "Xiao Nuan is back? Ouch? Is the classmate you followed Lin Shu?"
Jiang Nuan was stunned: "Mom—you know him?"
Luo Chen said while holding slippers for them: "Of course I know. Your father told me a long time ago that a classmate from Coach Liang will come over to do confrontation exercises on weekends, and his level is very high."
Lin Shu changed his smirk from before, and was courteous and courteous in front of her mother.
"Hello auntie, trouble auntie."
Lin Shu changed his slippers and went in.
Jiang Nuan was dumbfounded, what?
Her father knew that Lin Shu would come?
Jiang Nuan just walked to the table and saw the four dishes and one soup - braised lion's head, whitebait scrambled eggs, steamed mandarin fish and celery fried lily, plus watermelon soup.
There seemed to be something stewing in a casserole on the stove, and it smelled like pork belly.
So angry!
He even had to eat and drink to feed this neuropathy.
Jiang Nuan stared unhappily at Lin Shu who was already sitting on the sofa.
Lin Shu narrowed his eyes and smiled at her.
But my mother threw out a sentence from the kitchen: "Give Lin Shu a can of Coke."
"No more Coke!" Jiang Nuan called out without even looking.
Who knew that my mother took a jar and gave it to him: "Isn't this still there?"
Jiang Nuan turned his head and went to his room, who knew that Lin Shu would even follow him.
