Chapter 43: i would

When I was in elementary school, I took handicraft classes and posted small houses. The small houses of other girls were flat and neat, and she could see that it was a bean curd project at a glance.

As for the popular Origami Paper Crane, only her paper crane was torn when it was turned over, and its wings were incomplete, so it was impossible to fly to the blue sky.

Jiang Nuan lowered her head and continued to study the stars in the bottle.

Only then did Lu Ran speak, "Are you not good at breaking stars, so you came to me to make a wish together?"

Jiang Nuan swallowed: "...I kindly asked you to make a wish together!"

Ouch, how does Lu Ran know everything!

She really doesn't know how to break stars, and she forgot to let Rao Can teach herself. Tomorrow they will go to incense. If Rao Can is asked to teach her temporarily, maybe she will make a fuss and want to see what she has written.

"Okay, I'll teach you." Lu Ran raised his chin, "You can see clearly."

Jiang Nuan immediately put his head over and watched Lu Ran's fingers fold a red strip of paper into stars.

He lowered his eyebrows, his once arrogant expression softened at this moment, the orange halo of the table lamp penetrated the gap between his eyelashes, and even the corners of his eyes were mixed with light and shadow with a mysterious feeling that people wanted to touch .

"Do you understand?" Lu Ran asked.

"Probably understand! Have you learned it?" Jiang Nuan asked.

"No. But look at the stars in your bottle and you'll know it's like this."

Jiang Nuan thought for a while and said, "Wait, I'll write down my wish, and you teach me to fold it again!"

"So, you didn't understand it just now." Lu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Nuante wanted to press down his brows: "Hey, don't you learn the teacher's words, so I will ignore you in the future."

"Hurry up and write your wish." Lu Ran raised his chin.

Jiang Nuan immediately sat down, lay on the table, and wrote word by word seriously.

"Your words are so ugly that the Buddha would have to close his eyes when he saw it."

Jiang Nuan kicked his leg directly, but Lu Ran avoided it easily.

"I'll help you write."

"I don't want it! You must write your own wishes to be sincere!"

And you wouldn't be so kind to help me write my wish, you're definitely going to run on me!

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Lu Ran propped his chin up, looking at her amusingly.

Probably what he did, in his opinion, was as ridiculous as a child.

But to her, it was extremely important and serious.

"I've written it." Jiang Nuan said.

"Then this is the last time I will teach you. You still can't fold it, which shows that the Buddha did not want to see your wish."

Jiang Nuan felt that the corners of her mouth were about to cramp, and she was really about to beat him.

"Are you sure you don't want to write one and put it in?"

"One wish is enough. With so many wishes in such a small bottle, the Buddha will think you are greedy."

"It makes sense too!"

Lu Ran looked at Jiang Nuan, his eyes were deep, Jiang Nuan smiled, and started to fold the stars after him.

After folding, she put her star into the bottle.

"Do you have a lighter at home? I'll melt the red wax and seal the bottle."

"Look if there's anything on the coffee table outside, maybe my dad kept it."

"Okay." Jiang Nuan really found a lighter on the coffee table outside.

She was holding red wax and was about to ignite it with a lighter, but Lu Ran pressed her wrist. His fingertips were slightly warm, as if his blood had a different meaning when it passed by.

"I'll seal the wax for you, you're clumsy."

"Where, I'm very flexible!"

But Lu Ran took the initiative to help her, Jiang Nuan felt very happy, and immediately handed over the red wax and lighter.

Lu Ran's hand was really coincidental. He laid the bottle on the table, melted the red wax, and poured it towards the mouth of the bottle.

The bottle rolls slowly on the table, and the wax oil just falls between the gap between the bottle mouth and the bottle cap.

"What a pair of ingenious hands!" Jiang Nuan exclaimed in a proper manner.

Lu Ran patted her on the head: "Take it."

"I will make a sincere wish!" Jiang Nuan squinted and smiled.

"It's better to memorize a few words than to make a wish." Lu Ran replied.

"My wish... It's useless for me to memorize a few words by myself!"

Because her wish was that Lu Ran could enter the top three in the grade, so that Director Zhang would have no excuse to separate the two of them.

When the wax oil was completely dry, Jiang Nuan took it home.

As soon as she walked out of Lu Ran's room, she suddenly remembered something.

"Lu Ran! Lu Ran! My pen is on yours!"

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Ran holding her pen and taking notes on the book.

"This pen? It's very easy to use." Lu Ran didn't lift his head, the meaning was obvious, that is, this pen was a tribute handed in by Jiang Nuan.

"I still have the same one. Give it to you. Give me this pen." Jiang Nuan walked to Lu Ran's desk, and reached out to retrieve the pen from his fingers.

Who knows, Lu Ran stretched out his left hand and clasped Jiang Nuan's hand on the back of his own.

His fingers curled slightly, as if to hold her tightly.

Jiang Nuan's heart trembled for a moment, and blood seemed to pour from the place where all the limbs wanted to stick to the skin of Lu Ran's palm.

"Since it's all the same pen, why can't I just leave this one for me?" Lu Ran asked her, raising his head halfway.

His voice was not loud, but he seemed to see through the thoughts in Jiang Nuan's mind instantly.

This pen was used concisely, when he was writing blessings for her.

But Jiang Nuan knew that he couldn't say that in front of Lu Ran.

"This is the pen that a good friend of mine used to write his parting speech. I want to keep it."

Jiang Nuan felt that it was the first time that she had behaved so calmly in front of Lu Ran!

Anyway...she didn't lie anyway!

Lu Ran's eyes had a faint smell under the soft orange lamp. This guy is usually cold and arrogant, but at this moment Jiang Nuan somehow felt that he was like a kitten abandoned in a cardboard box on a rainy night. When approaching, she was both alert and expectant, making her want to touch his head.

But soon, Jiang Nuan's self-indulgent illusion was shattered.

"Who is your good friend?" Lu Ran leaned back in his chair calmly.

Jiang Nuan's heart skipped a beat. She had a hunch that Lu Ran knew that this pen was related to conciseness.

"Oh, forget it, forget it, if you think it's easy to use, then you can keep it." Jiang Nuan decided not to "fight" with Lu Ran anymore, he couldn't win anyway.

It's just a pen used by Jane... Could it be that the cola that Jane drinks will collect its cans? She has no choice but to wash the chopsticks that Jane used and find a box for them?

Jiang Nuan moved, and Lu Ran let go.

"Give it back to you." Lu Ran handed her the pen.

"Don't you want it?"

"I don't want it now."

Jiang Nuan carefully observed Lu Ran's expression, made sure he was not angry, and then took the pen back from his hand.

She was holding back the joy in her heart. Although she had done psychological construction for so long, she was very happy to get it back!

"Then I'll go back!" Jiang Nuan quickly became happy, and left Lu Ran's room with his mock roll and multicolored bottle.

When he got home, Jiang Nuan put the colorful bottle away, and when he looked up, he saw his old photos in the cabinet.

Almost forgot!

Gotta hide them now! Otherwise, one day my mother is in the mood, and she takes them out for an exhibition, what a shame for herself!

Thinking of this, Jiang Nuan immediately moved them all out, ready to receive the bottom of the storage box in the wardrobe.

Holding several photo albums, the top one slipped and fell directly to the ground.

Jiang Nuan picked this up. The top one was taken at school when he graduated from junior high school. Of course, it also includes the photo that my mother took that little advertisement for treatment of infertility almost stuck on her face, but in addition, there are also a few normal photos that Rao Can took of her.

Jiang Nuan laughed. Rao Can always captures very well. For example, she sits upside down on the parallel bars and laughs upside down with Cheng Doudou holding spicy strips. For example, she writes seriously with her junior high school graduating class. The appearance of the graduation book.

She remembered another one. She was passing by the plane tree downstairs in the classroom. There were leaves falling on top of her head. She raised her hand and was about to pluck it off.

Rao Can said that Jiang Nuan in the photo was very serious, as if the leaves of the sycamore tree were more serious than the middle school exam paper.

Jiang Nuan likes that photo very much. It seems to be at the end of the album... But, it has disappeared?

Jiang Nuan took the other photo albums and turned them through page by page, but couldn't find them at all.

Eh? what happened?

Jiang Nuan rummaged through all the albums, but still couldn't find the photo.

Did it fall out?

She went back to the sofa in the living room and searched from the gap between the sofa cushions to the coffee table and under the sofa, but still nothing.

Luo Chen came out and saw her daughter lying on the ground looking for someone, and said funnyly, "Nuan Nuan, what are you looking for?"

"Find me a picture!"

"photo?"

"It's the one that Rao Can took for me, the one under the plane tree in the junior high school!"

"That one! I remembered it!"

"You remember? Mom, where did you put it for me?"

Jiang Nuan hurriedly got up.

"Didn't Jian Ming flip through your album that day? When I saw this photo, I told me how the lighting was good, and I talked about the focal length and angle for a long time... Anyway, I just praised you for taking this photo well."

Hearing this, Jiang Nuan's heartbeat more than doubled, and his ears seemed to be scalded and bleeding.

Concisely praise her photo is beautiful!

"Then...then what?"

"Did Jianming also like photography when he was a child? He even took a photo for you. He said he liked this photo and wanted to use it to study and appreciate it with other photography agencies. Everyone said that, don't you just have a photo? , I agreed." Luo Chen thought about it and added, "If you are unhappy, don't blame Jianming, blame mom. Mom told Jianming at the time that she would greet you and ask for your opinion, but After cooking and cleaning, you will forget everything!"

"Mom - why did you give my picture to Brother Jianming! This... I'm so sorry!"

"That... Jianming should just appreciate the shooting technique of that photo? What else can you think of this little girl?" Luo Chen asked amusingly.

This undoubtedly gave Jiang Nuan a stab in the heart.

Mom - I'm your own, right?

Do you think it's a good thing for boys to have no thoughts about your daughter?

"Oh, or you can ask Rao Can, wasn't it taken by a digital camera at that time? She should have a record there!"

Jiang Nuan thought to himself, forget it, his favorite photo has been given concise, and it can be regarded as the best destination for that photo.

But what did mom just say?

Have you ever taken a photo of yourself?

"Mom! Which photos were taken by Brother Jian Ming when I was a child?" Jiang Nuan leaned in front of his mother again.

"The ones you had in your dad's fencing club, basically just for you."

"Those photos are so beautiful! I feel so cute!"

"You're really not an ordinary narcissist!"

"Mom, you should have told me earlier, so that I thought those photos were taken by you and my dad. I also wonder, why did your photography skills hit rock bottom when I grew up?"

"Come on, if you do this again, when you graduate from high school, you can take it yourself!"

"I asked Rao Can to take a picture of me! Otherwise, selfies are popular now!"

Jiang Nuan excitedly took pictures of her childhood.

There is a picture of himself wearing a small red padded jacket, which looks very rustic. It happened to snow in winter. Jiang Nuan fell heavily on the snow, and his nose was arched into the snow. He raised his face and turned towards the camera. man giggle.

She didn't know what kind of mood Jian Ming was in when he took these photos.

After school on Friday, Jiang Nuan was going to go to Youmin Temple with Rao Can and the others, but she didn't die, so it was her turn to clean up today.

She squinted at her deskmate several times, and finally tugged at his sleeve.

"Lu Ran, Lu Ran!"

"What's wrong?" Lu Ran was packing the pen case.

"I'm going to Youmin Temple today, can you help me clean up?"

"No." Lu Ran didn't even think about it.

"I'll give it back to you when you're on duty." Jiang Nuan tugged at Lu Ran's sleeve again.

"I don't care, you return it to me."

"Then I... invite you to dinner?"

They have made an appointment with Rao Can and the others. If they can't go, it will be a disappointment!

"I don't want to eat Mala Tang." Lu Ran stuffed the last book into his bag.

"Forget it, I'll go ask He Zheng!"

Jiang Nuan didn't even have time to pack his schoolbag, so he stood up to call back He Zheng, who was about to leave the classroom.

Who knew that his wrist was pulled by someone, and his strength was quite strong, and the whole person fell diagonally and fell directly into the arms of the person next to him.

Lu Ran's arms wrapped around her and supported her firmly. Jiang Nuan raised his eyes, Lu Ran's nose and lips were in front of him, Jiang Nuan's heart tightened, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

"You... what are you pulling me for!"

Jiang Nuan hurriedly straightened his waist, but Lu Ran's arm was pulled into his arms again, Jiang Nuan almost didn't kiss him on the cheek.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and put one hand on the table.

"Scared me to death!"

"I'll help you on duty." Lu Ran said.

"Really? That's great!" Jiang Nuan thought about it and asked again, "Hey, why did you agree when I said I was looking for He Zheng to help me on duty?"

"If you don't need me to help you on duty, then forget it."

They were so close that as long as Jiang Nuan moved, the tip of his nose would either rub against the bridge of his nose or his cheek.

As soon as Lu Ran spoke, the warm breath touched Jiang Nuan's skin, and he always felt that there was a force that seemed to break through the **** and crack open, overflowing into the surrounding space.

"I...I want..."

Jiang Nuan moved again, but Lu Ran still circled her.

"Oh? What do you want?" Lu Ran turned to look at her.

God, his eyelashes looked like they were going to swipe on the tip of her nose, couldn't take it anymore!

Jiang Nuan pushed hard and finally stood up.

"You... if you don't want to help me on duty, forget it!"

Jiang Henan put his schoolbag on his shoulders, but his heart trembled violently.

Just now... Was Lu Ran holding her?

At this time, Lu Ran's voice came leisurely.

"I would."

Just as Jiang Nuan turned her face to the side, she saw a few classmates looking at them in surprise.

A girl looked at her tablemate beside her and asked in a low voice, "Lu Ran won't... be with Jiang Nuan?"

It's over! It's over! Surely you will be misunderstood!

Originally, Director Zhang thought the two of them were not pleasing to the eye when it came to the comics. If it spreads to Director Zhang's ears again, he would really want to separate them, maybe not even one class.

Who knew that Lu Ran turned around and said to the classmates who were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do: "You can copy the homework, but remember not to talk nonsense."

It was a plain tone, but it had an inexplicable deterrent effect. The girl just shut up immediately, and the other classmates nodded stupidly.

Jiang Nuan beat his thigh in his heart, this is the classroom!

"That...thank...thank you!"

Jiang Nuan hurried out and accidentally bumped into someone else's chair, which made her liver tremble. As soon as she walked out of the classroom door, she saw Rao Can leaning against the corridor and looking at her with a smile.

"What kind of smile do you have!"

"What's my smile? Of course it's 'my family has a young girl growing up'! I don't know, I thought the two of you were getting married in the classroom, didn't you hear Lu Ran say 'I do'?"

Jiang Nuan is going crazy!

"I'm willing to be on duty for you, okay?"

"Good! Good! Good!" Rao Can stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Nuan, "Let's go, Doudou is waiting for us downstairs!"

Today, the incense in Youmin Temple is much stronger than usual, and most of the people who come are students.

On the table in front of the Bodhisattva, there are at least hundreds of multicolored bottles, one by one.

Jiang Nuan followed Rao Can and they were offering incense and kowtow again, and then watched the little novice next to them put their multicolored bottles in the grid, and each multicolored bottle had their names on it.

Jiang Nuan turned around and saw Lin Mixia.

Lin Mixia looked up and saw her too.

Jiang Nuan couldn't help but rejoice: "I said the squad leader, I really thought you never believed in gods and Buddhas! I didn't expect you to come to incense and make a wish!"

Lin Mixia pouted, with no embarrassment on her face: "I just calmed myself down."

"Oh, don't worry! You can definitely stay in the first exam room!"

"Do your best, maybe I can meet you in the first exam room in my high school career." Lin Mixia replied.

"In that case, it may not be enough for me to make a wish alone, so you can make one for me too?"

"I won't waste my wish."

After speaking, Lin Mixia turned around and left.

Cheng Doudou approached Jiang Nuan and said, "Lin Mixia still speaks in such an unflattering tone..."

"Actually, it's okay. She's just like that. She's not bad. She should hope that I can spend more time studying, which is more useful than praying to Buddha."

"How do you know she thinks like that?" Cheng Doudou asked again.

Jiang Nuan was delighted: "Because Lu Ran thinks so too. The top students like them are all practical, and they pay attention to efficiency in doing things. And we, in their eyes, are too inefficient."

The mid-term exam came like this. Jiang Nuan had just finished the math test, and the classmates next to her couldn't wait to come and check the answer with her.

However, she found sadly that the answers to several multiple-choice questions seemed to be different between herself and the people next to her.

And the other party explained it plausibly, what reference book I saw a similar question type, or which teacher learned it when I made up the class.

Jiang Nuan was a little panicked.

In fact, although she felt that the third exam room was the true level of her ability, this time, she still wanted to stay in the second exam room.

When she was trying to understand the other person's thoughts, a hand reached out from behind, covering Jiang Nuan's eyes, her head was thrown back, and she leaned into someone's arms.

This height is neither Rao Can nor Doudou.

The classmates who had been chattering on explaining the topic suddenly became quiet, and only heard Lu Ran's voice.

"After the exam, don't answer the question with others, go home."

Lu Ran? Isn't he in the first exam room? Did you walk around to find her on purpose?

Lu Ran's palm covering Jiang Nuan's eyes moved away, he turned around, and Jiang Nuan quickly followed.

"Lu Ran? Why did you come here through my exam room?"

Lu Ran's bag was hooked by his fingers and draped on his shoulders, which added a little more freedom to his rigorous temperament.

"Because I saw you foolishly listening to the other person explain his wrong answer as if you were listening to a teacher."

"Wrong? Was he really wrong?"

"He was wrong."

"Fortunately, you're here, otherwise I'll die of sadness!
