Chapter 55: Undercurrent
A simple smile instantly disintegrated Jiang Nuan's embarrassment.
"Nuan Nuan, not every time I hit the street, I have a cushion in front of me."
"Well..." Jiang Nuan took his hand back and immediately looked in Lu Ran's direction.
His hands were still in his pockets, but she once felt that the gentle eyes that only she had seen had cooled down.
"Brother Jianming, did you only come to Nanshi today? In fact, just wait for me to come back at home, otherwise you come to school to find me, what if you don't find it?"
Jian Ming smiled and replied, "But I think I can definitely find you."
Jiang Nuan was really embarrassed.
Lu Ran, who was on the side, glanced at her and said, "I asked which test room you were in, how could I not find it."
Jian Ming didn't mind Lu Ran's icy attitude at the moment, and said, "Yes, so I didn't rely on 'fate' to find Xiao Nuan, but premeditated."
"Her brain is not very useful, and she may not be able to accept your premeditated plan."
Jiang Nuan's mind was about to explode.
I always feel that the two people go back and forth not to "communicate" well, but to "attack" each other.
The group finally reached the station, and Jiang Nuan stood between Lu Ran and Jian Ming. It felt like a piece of tofu. If they were crushed again by the two of them, it would really turn into tofu dregs.
Jiang Nuan looked back at Rao Can and Cheng Doudou who were standing not far away. The two were chatting happily.
"Xiao Nuan's expression seems to be destroyed..." Cheng Doudou said.
"If I were her, let me be destroyed so sweetly."
At this time, the bus came. When the door opened, Lu Ran went up first. Jiang Nuan quickly followed. Just as he reached out to grab the handle by the door, Lu Ran grabbed his wrist and pulled him up.
Although he was black-faced the whole time, but being pulled by him like this made his wrists hurt, but Jiang Nuan finally felt relieved.
Still no place, Lu Ran and Jian Ming both pulled the rings, and Jiang Nuan was caught between them again.
Today is Friday, and there are a lot of people in the car after two stops.
Jiang Nuan felt that he was the bean paste stuffing in the middle of the sandwich cake, and he didn't know who released the "toxic gas", Jiang Nuan almost spit it out.
Even Cheng Doudou couldn't help shouting, "The air is poisonous!"
With such a shout, several passengers in the carriage complained.
"Is this a sweet potato or a leek!"
"I think it's soybeans!"
"Fuck... Who opened the window! It's terrible!"
Jiang Nuan turned her face sideways and leaned on Lu Ran's body, because he had the smell she liked on his body.
Jian Ming lowered his eyes and saw that half of Jiang Nuan's forehead was about to fall into Lu Ran's arms, he suddenly stretched his arms and opened the car window.
Fresh air poured in, and while blowing away the "poisonous gas", it also diluted the smell on Lu Ran's body.
At this time, the car arrived at the station, and suddenly stopped, Jiang Nuan fell back to the concise direction with inertia.
Jiang Nuan subconsciously stretched out his hand to support Jian Bing's chest. At this time, a large number of passengers who got off the bus crowded over and directly squeezed Jiang Nuan into Jian Bing's arms.
"sorry Sorry!"
Jiang Nuan raised her head and looked at Jian Ming while apologizing. At that moment, what she saw was not the gentle smile in Jian Ming's eyes, nor the elegant demeanor, but the man who seemed to be the man with murderous aura on the field.
Jiang Nuan was about to struggle, but Jane's palm pressed her lower back so hard that Jiang Nuan almost stuck into his arms.
When the door of the next car was closed and the car was almost half empty, all the cover disappeared. Rao Can and Cheng Doudou were stunned when they saw Jiang Nuan being held in their arms by Jane.
"This is the rhythm of heaven..." Rao Can said.
"It's a pity... I'm going to get off at the next stop!"
"It's a pity for you? Do you want to see the two of them cut each other in the bus?"
Rao Can looked at Lu Ran, Lu Ran was holding the ring with one hand, and the other hand was no longer in his pocket.
Although there were passengers who wanted to get off one after another, Rao Can clearly saw Lu Ran stretch out his hand to pull Jiang Nuan back to him, but Jian Ming made the first move. Now Lu Ran's clasped fingers, Whitening between the joints.
Lu Ran's whole body exudes a sense of Xiao Su, even Rao Can, who thinks he has friendship with him, can feel the sword drawn in the silence.
"I'm on my feet now! Thank you!" Jiang Nuan thanked him, and the fighting intent in Jian Ming's eyes was instantly suppressed.
As if he was worried that Jiang Nuan would be frightened, he smiled: "Just stand firm."
Jiang Nuan exhaled, but the hand on his back did not mean to let go.
"There are seats over there."
Lu Ran's voice sounded, like a sharp blade covered with frost, about to be unsheathed.
His hand reached out, bypassed Jiang Nuan directly, squeezed between her and Jian Ming, and forcefully took her away from his embrace.
Lu Ran took her around half a circle, and took her away from him and Jian Ming. She rushed to that position and sat down like the rest of her life.
It didn't take long for Cheng Doudou and Rao Can to get out of the car one after another. Seeing Lu Ran and Jian Ming standing beside her, Jiang Nuan felt that the atmosphere was even more depressing than when someone released poison gas before.
After a few more minutes, they finally arrived.
Jiang Nuan quickly got up and got out of the car with Lu Ran and Jian Ming.
Standing in the narrow elevator room, looking at the mobile phone information with a concise expression as usual, Lu Ran was standing beside Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Lu Ran, but the elevator door opened before she touched it.
As soon as Jian Ming turned around, Jiang Nuan put his hands behind his back, showing a nervous expression.
The eyes that were originally simple and gentle, became cold in that moment.
The door opened, and Xu Zitian and Mu Sheng stood at the door.
"Wait for a long time! You are finally back!"
"Isn't it just a final exam? Look at me, just fill up the paper and hand it in!" Xu Zitian said with a grin.
Jian Ming lightly smiled and rubbed Xu Zitian's head: "Xiao Nuan and Lu Ran both want to be admitted to the university with the ability of cultural students."
"Isn't this what the entertainment industry said, it's obvious that you can eat by your looks, but it depends on your acting skills?"
"Come in!" Jiang Nuan pressed Xu Zitian with both hands and pushed him away.
Probably because of Xu Zitian and Mu Sheng, Jiang Nuan felt that the atmosphere was not as tense as on the bus.
At this time, Luo Chen carried a pot of boiled fish and placed it in the center of the table: "How many of you! Just love to eat this kind of spicy food!"
Xu Zitian was so drooling that he tapped the bowl and said, "I'm so greedy!"
"The home-cooked fish is really boiled fish without so much oil! But it's also healthy to eat!"
Jiang Huai walked in front of Jiang Nuan and asked casually, "Did you do well in the test today? Is the general examination okay?"
Jiang Nuan sighed helplessly: "Dad - I managed to get out of Lizong, can't you let me catch my breath?"
"Okay, you can rest first! But let's say, if your grades decline this time, I won't sign your registration form."
Jiang Nuan pursed his lips.
Lu Ran said, "The chemical difficulty of this time is not very high, within the range that she can handle."
Jian Ming pulled the chair next to Jiang Nuan, sat down, and said with a smile, "I can't tell, Lu Ran knows Xiao Nuan's learning ability very well."
Jiang Huai immediately smiled: "Jian Ming, I told you that Xiao Nuan has made great progress this semester, but I forgot to tell you that it's because Lu Ran has been tutoring Xiao Nuan with her homework! The two of them are at the same table! What's up with Xiao Nuan? No, Lu Ran will teach her right away! It's more effective than the remedial classes reported outside!"
Jiang Nuan immediately climbed up the pole: "Since Lu Ran is more effective than the remedial class, let me drop out of the chemistry remedial class! It's really useless! That teacher's teaching is not as good as Lu Ran's!"
Jian Ming supported his chin and turned his face to look at Jiang Nuan.
His expression seemed to be casual, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but the sharpness in his eyes was looming, and when his eyebrows were slightly raised, Jiang Nuan felt pressure inexplicably.
"When did you get so close?"
As if standing on both ends of the kendo, Jian Ming would split the air with a sword at any time, making every cell in her tremble.
But when Lu Ran's icy voice sounded, the tension eased a little.
"We're at the same table this semester. If Xiao Nuan can get into the Imperial Capital in the future, in addition to her own efforts, it will depend on who can teach her."
Xu Zitian was still cooking fish with chopsticks, but Mu Sheng faintly sensed something and said, "There are so many good dishes today, how come there is no Coke!"
When Luo Chen heard it, he immediately walked out of the kitchen and said, "Isn't there a case of Coke next to the refrigerator?"
"Really?" Mu Sheng got up to look for it, and then said, "No! I guess it was finished when I came to dinner last time!"
"Then I'll go buy it!" Jiang Nuan stood up immediately, she was the master, and everyone wanted to drink coke, but she didn't have any, so of course she had to go down to buy it.
"I'll go with you."
"I go with you."
Lu Ran and Jian Ming spoke at the same time.
Jiang Nuan immediately said, "Just follow Lu Ran with me! Brother Jianming, you are a guest, wait for us here!"
"Lu Ran is also a guest, right?" Jian Ming smiled and tilted his head, "Or do you think you are closer to Lu Ran, so you're embarrassed to trouble me?"
Jiang Nuan opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.
Lu Ran had already walked to the door to put on his shoes, and Jiang Nuan had no choice but to pat his head: "Then... let's go together..."
Watching the three of them leave, Mu Sheng raised his hand to cover his face: "My mother, I thought I could use Coke to ease the atmosphere, but I just moved the battlefield to another place!"
"What?" Xu Zitian said while biting the steamed pork.
"What kind of person do you think Jianming is?" Mu Sheng asked Xu Zitian.
"What else is there to say? The swordsmanship is top-notch, the response is fast, the aura is strong in the arena, and it is easy to talk in real life..."
"Don't be stupid. A person who has a strong aura on the field and shows no mercy to his opponents cannot be a gentle and compassionate gentleman in life. He just puts himself in the sheath. Jian Ming and Lu Ran , are very similar people, but they seem to be walking on two extremes." Mu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
"I don't understand... Isn't Brother Jian Ming very good..."
At this time, Jiang Huai calmed down and looked at Mu Sheng: "You are indeed very sensitive."
"Yes, Master, you have taught Jian Bing for so long, he can keep himself, but he can't hide from Master, right?"
"He and Lu Ran are both people who clearly know what their goals are. For their own purposes, they can endure, hibernate, and use failure to gain experience of defeating opponents. Lu Ran is not good at hiding himself, so it is best to The concealment is silence. Concise is better at keeping the edge. When the suppression reaches a certain level, it will be as sharp and unstoppable as the explosion. Both of them can be full of momentum when they erupt and are good at grasping a hit and hitting A typical example. Lu Ran and Jianming are really good opponents. It's just..."
"Just what?" Xu Zitian asked curiously.
However, Mu Sheng understood Jiang Huai's next sentence: "It's just that life is not the arena, you can't be greedy for winning."
Once again, entering the elevator with Lu Ran and concisely, Jiang Nuan always suspected that without her, the two of them would fight directly here.
"I remember that there is a canteen at the entrance of the community? It should be enough to buy a box of cans." Jian Ming turned his face to the side and looked at Jiang Nuan.
His smile was light and gentle, like a teenager who played with her in the snow when he was a child.
His eyes occasionally made her feel the pressure, like an illusion.
"Well, yes."
When they came to the canteen, Coke was found all at once, but Jiang Nuan still subconsciously looked at the things on the shelf along the shelf.
"Little raccoon simply noodles!" Jiang Nuan immediately took two bags.
"Do you want Mimi shrimp sticks?" Lu Ran's voice came from the other side of the shelf.
"Where?"
"You move the crispy noodles away."
Jiang Nuan moved the crispy noodles and saw Lu Ran on the other side of the shelf grabbing a bag of shrimp sticks. His eyes slowly raised, like countless wings passing over her heart.
She didn't know how she would do that, so she stretched out her hand and scratched his eyelashes from the gap between the crispy noodles and Mimi shrimp sticks.
Lu Ran looked at her and didn't seem to expect her to do that.
Jiang Nuan was a little nervous. Although he and Lu Ran were quite familiar with each other, "hands-on" was something he had never experienced before, which made Jiang Nuan nervous.
But Lu Ran wasn't angry, he just kept looking at her.
She heard the voice of Jian Ming approaching, and when she was in a panic to withdraw her hand, Lu Ran clasped her hand.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Nuan could feel that Jian Ming had come behind her.
She tried to take her hand away, but Lu Ran held it tightly until she said, "You guys still took so many snacks? Take it to the boss and pay together."
Jian Ming turned around, Jiang Nuan let out a breath, and Lu Ran, who was opposite, let go of her.
There was a humming in her head, and she hurriedly hugged her Jianming and followed Jianming forward, because she was too nervous, she didn't notice Jianming in front of her stopping at all, and she bumped into him directly.
The noodles just fell to the ground, Jiang Nuan really wanted to scold his brain for being so useless! Why don't you have eyes while walking!
She quickly squatted down to pick it up, and Jian Ming also turned around and knelt down on one knee to help her pick it up.
"thanks!"
The moment Jiang Nuan raised his head, Jian Ming leaned forward slightly on the opposite side. His warm eyebrows and eyes carried a mysterious sense of aggression under the backlight. When his "it's okay" overflowed from his lips, Jiang Nuan had a kind of counterpart The illusion of getting closer.
The boss's voice came: "You have to pay for the broken noodles!"
"We all buy them." Jian Ming turned around and said.
The sense of aggression finally eased, and Jiang Nuan hurriedly stood up holding her crisp face, and when she looked up, she saw Lu Ran standing at the exit of the shelf, looking at her.
His eyes were like a sea of ice that was about to boil, and some kind of chilling war intent was overwhelming.
Jiang Nuan was stunned, this was not the usual Lu Ran.
His emotions are always well restrained.
Rather than at this moment, as if to burst out from the cracks in the abyss.
Jian Ming slowly turned around and said in a very calm tone, "I can't participate in the youth fencing championship because I'm too old. It will take at least a year for the college league to meet you. The rest of the club league will also have to wait. long time."
"Then let's fight today." Lu Ran's voice sounded very light.
It's as simple as saying that instead of Coke tonight, I'm going to drink Sprite.
"You... what do you want to do? Fight today? Where will you fight?" Jiang Nuan felt that these two people were abnormal today!
"That's right, my wife made so many delicious dishes today. Let's do it tomorrow." Jian Bing said.
"Okay, tomorrow." After speaking, Lu Ran took two pictures of Grandpa Mao from his pocket on the boss's table, "Let's just make it together."
Jiang Nuan regretted it for the first time.
They moved the Coke back, and the two of them looked as usual, sitting on the left and right of Jiang Nuan.
Everyone opened Coke to celebrate, and even Jiang Huai, who didn't like children drinking soda, opened a can.
"Jian Ming, you came here from the imperial capital for thousands of miles, but it's for you, the younger brothers and sisters!"
"Senior brother is for us?" Xu Zitian was surprised.
"Yes, for you." Jian Ming adjusted his sitting posture, looking more relaxed and comfortable, holding a Coke can in one hand, the other hand lightly on his knee, turned his face to look at Jiang Nuan, "It's also for Xiao Nuan. It's her first time participating in this kind of national competition, and I'm here to spar with her. The focus is on fake moves and all kinds of complex counter-attacks."
"It turned out to be for the younger sister..." Xu Zitian was a little disappointed.
"If it's sparring, Xiao Nuan's fake moves and complex counterattacks are technically perfect." Lu Ran said.
"Really? Why did I forget that Xiao Nuan is also in the arms. It seems that in addition to studying for the exam, you are also with you in the technical practice of the saber?" Jian Ming asked with a smile.
