Jiang Nuan didn't know what happened today. It was just a cannonball thing. She was also the one who did the wrong thing. She wanted to play a prank to "frame" Lu Ran, but she didn't lose money by stealing chickens. Mom didn't really blame her. , but as soon as she got close to Lu Ran, she couldn't hold it any longer.

There is always a sense of grievance in my heart.

It cracked like the jar of wine, and Gululu couldn't hold it back when it flowed out.

"Oh, Xiaonuan, sit down. Mom and Dad must love you the most. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk about it! If you can't do it, talk to Aunt Yuan, and Aunt Yuan will go and talk to your parents." Lu Ran's mother hugged Jiang Nuan.

But Jiang Huai was suddenly blocked by his daughter, so he couldn't help himself, and subconsciously said, "How can we just listen to Aunt Chen, you yourself have a bad record of throwing guns before..."

Under the table, Jiang Huai was kicked by his wife.

But the words "bad record" poked Jiang Nuan again inexplicably.

She suddenly remembered what Rao Can had told her on the phone before, that Li Shuyue talked to herself in class, but the teacher Cai, who taught English, instead told her to go to a penalty stand.

Although she didn't remember it clearly, she knew in her heart that even if she told her parents about this, they would probably say, "Li Shuyue is talking to you, you can just ignore her."

She envied those children who were doted on by their parents, and they were protected by their parents when they did something wrong. But with her parents, it seems that she is always wrong.

Jiang Nuan got up, she would definitely not be able to choke on this meal.

"Xiao Nuan, where are you going!" Luo Chen asked.

"Go out and buy a cannonball and fry the whole world's chickens!"

After speaking, Jiang Nuan left with his pocket in his pocket.

"Xiao Nuan! Xiao Nuan!"

"It's alright, it's alright, the child will be fine for a while, and I'll keep the food for her." Luo Chen sighed, she also saw that her daughter was really unhappy this time, and she had to go out for a walk.

They always compare Lu Ran like that. Over time, they really hurt their daughter.

Jiang Huai sat there, looking at Jiang Nuan's back, and wanted to say something, but out of his father's pride, he didn't know how to speak.

The door closed, and after half a minute it opened again.

Jiang Huai thought it was her daughter who was no longer angry, but who knew Jiang Nuan just went to the sofa to get her woolen gloves and went out again.

Luo Chen looked at Jiang Huai's staring look, rolled his eyes at him and said, "You! If you can't speak, don't speak! Did you have a good record from childhood to adulthood?"

"It's like you can talk. Aunt Chen called, didn't you convict Xiaonuan?"

Everyone could see that Jiang Huai and Luo Chen were not in the mood to eat.

At this time, Lu Ran suddenly got up.

"What's the matter, Lu Ran?"

"She's fine." This was what he said just now, but no one seemed to listen. Only at this moment did the adults look over.

Lu Ran went to the hanger and took off the scarf around his neck.

"What?" Jiang Huai didn't understand what he meant.

"She is more open-minded than I am, more tolerant than I am, and more aware of what she wants than me. Where I am not good, she is good."

After speaking, Lu Ran went out.

Jiang Huai was stunned, Luo Chen pushed him: "Look! You're not as sensible as a child! When Lu Ran called me back from Beijing before, he told me, 'Auntie, don't compare me with Xiaonuan again. She can do anything when she's confident.'"

"Lu Ran... He seems to have said..." Jiang Huai showed a regretful expression, "I... Didn't I say this casually? Where can I really compare her to Lu Ran?"

At this time, Jiang Nuan was carrying his pocket alone, took a breath, and the snot was blown by the cold wind, as if it was about to form a crust on his face.

I feel like I have said so many words, and I can't get off the stage a bit.

But... she didn't regret saying it.

Because if it weren't for the blood rushing to her forehead at that moment, she might not be able to say anything in her life, so she could only hold it back.

But why did she remember to take the gloves and forget the napkin?

She originally wanted to see if her parents were chasing after her, but who knew that what she saw was Lu Ran's figure, she was shocked, she immediately shrank to the corner of Aunt Chen's courtyard, squatted down and catted.

It must be that the adults couldn't save face and asked Lu Ran to come down to find her.

She doesn't want it!

go now! go now! Back to eat your meal!

Jiang Nuan sniffed, thinking about spending fifty cents on a pack of tissues for a while.

At this moment, someone stretched out a pack of tissues in front of her.

"Hurry up and wipe it."

Jiang Nuan saw Lu Ran on one side of her face, so shocked that she almost stabbed her foot.

"The devil wants your napkin!" Jiang Nuan waved Lu Ran's hand away.

Does this guy's eyes turn around? She hides so well, how did he find her?

"Don't wipe it, are you going to keep it to eat?"

"You just eat paper towels!"

"...I mean snot."

Looking at his face, Jiang Nuan suddenly burst into tears.

"Why can't you let people be quiet for a while! You've already won, right? I can't compare to you, and I won't eat with you, why do you keep up with your presence!"

The tears and snot can't be controlled anymore, Jiang Nuan wished he couldn't rub them all on Lu Ran's body.

Lu Ran was silent for half a minute before speaking slowly.

"There was a game between you and I. I had the right place at the beginning and thought I would win to the end. But at the end of the game, the situation reversed and I lost horribly."

"Really... What game? Did I compete with you in fencing?" Jiang Nuan's eyes were full of mist, and he couldn't see Lu Ran's expression at all.

"It wasn't until I lost that I realized it wasn't a game at all." Lu Ran's voice was still so cold, but it seemed to be different from usual.

Jiang Nuan grabbed the tissue, wiped it hard, and stared at Lu Ran.

"Why didn't you say anything? What game? Are you helping my dad fool me back? Every time they compare you to me, you can't understand the grievances in my heart. Because you are standing at such a high place. , but I am very ordinary, so ordinary that nothing can satisfy my parents!"

Jiang Nuan's ear seemed to hear a sigh, very light, and was blown away by the wind at once, smashed by the sound of breathing.

"You think your parents are forcing you to study science and take the university entrance exam, not letting you practice fencing, and comparing you to me, which is very aggrieved. But in fact, I also have these. You also scolded my father for me with empathy. It's just that you don't remember." Lu Ran's napkin was stretched out and stuck to Jiang Nuan's nose, Jiang Nuan blew it out as if venting his anger, and Lu Ran seemed to hold the napkin indifferently.

"How could I scold your father? Are you trying to comfort me forcibly?" She asked angrily.

"I don't like fencing, but my dad used to be a fencer and he wanted to beat your dad, but in all the big fights he didn't do it once. So he put that expectation on me But what I like is communication engineering. I told my dad, I don't want to practice fencing anymore, I want to study abroad in the future, choose the path I want to choose, and live the life I want to live instead of living in his Looking forward to it. My dad was so angry with me that he had high blood pressure and was admitted to the hospital."

Jiang Nuan was stunned, is there such a thing? She doesn't seem to remember.

"Outside the door of the ward, I realized that it is impossible for me to live as I want. His expectations are like a net, trapping me in it, and my struggles will hurt him. If you don't love them, so what? Will you take their expectations to heart?"

Jiang Nuan didn't know how Lu Ran managed to control his emotions so that he could say so calmly.

"But you told me the other day that you can't compare to me in anything except fencing. If I give up fencing, you don't know how to prove to your father that you are better than me too. already."

Jiang Nuan was stunned for a while. Indeed, she had absolutely no advantage in front of Lu Ran when it came to reading and discussing the favor of her elders.

But fencing is different. Jiang Nuan knew that Jian Ming had always stood in front of Lu Ran like the Himalayas.

"That day, you actually came to the hospital for your mother to deliver meals to me, but you ate all my meals."

Jiang Nuan is embarrassed, Lu Ran should not be making up, this is indeed something she would do.

"You said excitedly, when you were watching me on TV with Concise, you were analyzing every stroke of mine, win or lose. You said, if I didn't stick to it, then maybe Concise would never be the same in other fields. I was very happy that night because someone other than my parents and my coach was looking forward to me. To this day, my father, my club, sports magazines, the whole youth swordsman world loves it Compare me to Jian Bing. I'm the backup for Jian Bing's position, his double insurance."

At that moment, Jiang Nuan's heart clenched. In the world of competitive sports, second is never as valuable as first.

Lu Ran is a concise backup, a concise backup. When coaches and magazines commented like this, no one would care whether Lu Ran's heart would be hurt or not, and he couldn't even get angry with someone who made such comments like her.

"So don't mind your parents comparing you to me. We can't do whatever we want, but at least we can look up and be ourselves in other people's evaluations."

Lu Ran's voice was soft. People like him never lie because of their pride.

But it was because it wasn't a comforting word, or a lie made up, that Jiang Nuan felt bad.

"Let me tell you, I won't go back!" Jiang Nuan could only say that without being able to say comforting words.

"I know. You're not ashamed to go back now."

"Ah?" Jiang Nuan looked back at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran smiled lightly, there was a hint of warmth in the shallow smile lines at the corner of his eyes, as if he was looking at a child who was making trouble without reason, but he would always cherish her childishness and innocence.

She suddenly remembered the comment left by an unknown person on the blog - may you always be a little ugly duckling.

At this moment, she suddenly understood that it was a blessing that only those who had been hurt by the sky would give her.

If the ugly duckling doesn't grow up, it will just be laughed at as ugly. But when it really turns into a white swan, it must be compared with all beautiful swans, and it must suffer the pain of falling from a height.

"It's hard to use the topic to play it. If it doesn't make a big trouble, going home now will definitely not work." Lu Ran said.

"I didn't even think about it that way!"

"Yeah, you don't have that many twists and turns in your head."

"I want you to take care of it."

Jiang Nuan turned around and continued walking.

Now calm down and think about it, isn't it just a case of throwing a gun to scare chickens, and she didn't really blow up the chickens raised by Aunt Chen, and it's not a big deal to be told by her parents, the main thing is... Lu Ran and his parents Also, super shameless.

After taking two steps, Jiang Nuan turned around and found that Lu Ran was following behind him with his pockets in his pockets.

Jiang Nuan said angrily, "I don't need you to follow me!"

"Whether to go to the 'Mars World'." Lu Ran said.

Jiang Nuan's eyes lit up. Mars World is a chain of Internet cafes.

"You still know the 'Mars World'?" Jiang Nuan said incredulously.

"Go kill time, do you really want to blow the cold wind outside?"

This time, instead, Lu Ran walked in front, and Jiang Nuan followed behind.

"Slow down! Legs are amazing!"

"Don't you admit that your root number is two?"

"Yes, yes, you are 1.88 meters tall, you are the most powerful!"

Do you want me to invite you to eat Baba!

Although it is still Chinese New Year, "Mars World" is still in business.

Jiang Nuan and Lu Ran's machine were next to each other. This guy hung the scarf on the chair and sat down. He didn't play games on the Internet, but watched the video of the World Fencing Championships, or did a mock test online. What's so boring.

That scarf made Jiang Nuan's eyes particularly hot: "I said, it's not that you don't have a scarf, don't put it around, and it's not too cold for the wind to pour into your neck through the gap."

"I only have this scarf." Lu Ran replied.

Jiang Nuan didn't want to fight with him anymore, so he rushed into the game and killed the Quartet with his friends.
