This is the anti-theft seal "..."

"Or will you be my daughter?" Lu Ran held his chin and looked at Jiang Nuan sideways.

"Pooh!"

When Lu Ran left Jiang Nuan's room, Jiang Nuan bowed his head and was excited that the jailer was finally leaving.

Who knew her neck was slightly pinched.

"I really want to give you a guillotine."

"what?"

After Lu Ran left, Jiang Nuan remembered that Chen Shimei had been looked at by a dog's head!

On the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Nuan got his wish and met Cheng Doudou and Rao Can at the entrance of the cinema.

"Hahaha! My dear, what are you wearing!"

Rao Can dressed up really well today, with a woolen coat, jeans and snow boots, the whole person is fashionable and slender, not bloated at all.

Even Beanie looks so cute.

Instead, Jiang Nuan was wearing a camel-colored coat, an old one, with a fur ball on the neckline.

"Hey, don't mention it! Didn't my down jacket fall into the pond and be completely scrapped? I haven't had time to buy a new one!" Jiang Nuan tugged at the collar, she was not particular about her clothes.

"It doesn't matter, the discounts in the mall are so great these days. We will accompany you to buy a new one."

Speaking of this, Jiang Nuan twitched the corners of his mouth, "Don't mention it, I have to go home tonight and write the chemistry paper."

"What's the matter? Tomorrow will be New Year's Eve! What papers are you still writing!"

"Because the 'plug-in' is too powerful."

"What plug-in?" Cheng Doudou asked puzzled.

"It's Lu Ran! He unexpectedly asked my dad to help me review the basics! I'm catching up with clockwork every day now, and I don't get more sleep for a minute of sleep." Jiang Nuan is sad sighed.

Rao Can smiled: "I just said that if anyone else can save you, it's only Lu Ran."

"Hey, wait...Is Lu Ran's winter vacation homework done? Can you borrow it for us to see?" Little stars lit up in Cheng Doudou's eyes.

"Do you think Lu Ran is the kind of person who would borrow winter vacation homework for others?" Jiang Nuan asked rhetorically.

Cheng Doudou shook his head.

"You can ask Lu Ran all the questions we can't do. If you can, we will." Rao Can blinked.

"Hey, I got it, I got it. Send me what you don't know at night, okay?"

"Hey, this is our Nuan young master!" Rao Can hugged Jiang Nuan's face and kissed it hard, "I'll invite you to the Babylonian buffet for a while!"

"No way! Eat Babylon again! That's not a buffet - it's a self-abuse meal! You said you would eat Babylon's buffet, so I'll take a Morphine first!"

"Some people eat so much nonsense!" Rao Can pressed the back of Jiang Nuan's head fiercely, "You don't even count, how much is a pair of KFC's New Orleans grilled wings? Forty-five Babylonians alone, You only need to eat eight pairs of grilled wings, and we will earn back our buffet fee!"

"Eight pairs? When did we not get tired of eating the fifth pair?" Jiang Nuan spread his hands.

"Then are you going?" Rao Can pinched her neck.

"Go! Go! Okay? It hasn't started to jam, don't let me vomit now! Let's talk it out! Don't take so many grilled wings! If you can't eat it, you have to force me to eat it."

"Oh, isn't that what a boyfriend is for?"

"I'm not your boyfriend!"

"But you are our warm boy!"

Half a head taller and smaller than Jiang Nuan, Rao Can leaned on her shoulder very greasy.

Although they had agreed to Chapter Three in advance, when they sat down in Babylon, they naturally fell into an atmosphere of anticipation and competition for roasting wings.

Basically, every time the grilled wings came up, the plate would be empty within a minute. The three girls sat there, Cheng Doudou propped up a fork and watched the vacant seat of the grilled wings.

Just as the chef in the white top hat brought the grilled wings, Cheng Doudou was the first to rush up.

"Hey! Doudou! Don't take too much!"

Before Cheng Doudou stood in front of Roast Wing, he was blocked by two tall boys. Seeing that Roast Wing was about to be empty again, Rao Can pushed Jiang Nuan and motioned for her to help Cheng Doudou, not to let her alone People suffer.

Jiang Nuan took a breath and rolled up the sleeves on both sides, thinking she was going to fight, but who knew she came behind one of the boys and patted the other on the back.

"Hey, brother, your grandpa Mao fell off!"

"yes?"

The two boys who were clipping grilled wings bowed their heads at the same time. Cheng Doudou directly stretched out the plate without even using a clip, and scooped out a plate of chicken wings.

Jiang Nuan looked at Doudou, she didn't expect such a divine operation at all.

The two boys found that there was no money on the ground, and when they looked up again, most of the chicken wings were gone.

"Hey, how are you doing?" one of the boys looked at Jiang Nuan and Cheng Doudou and said.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"First come, first come! Let's come to the chicken wings first, we should serve it first."

Babylon bakes a lot of chicken wings every time, but the guests who come to eat know that eating grilled wings is the most cost-effective way, so they all come to serve them. If you move slowly, you may not be able to grab a chicken wing tip.

"This chicken wing is not a 100-meter race. You have to run to the destination first. If you have it, you will have it." Jiang Nuan shrugged, "Could it be that you still care about girls?"

The two boys looked over Jiang Nuan's shoulders and happened to see Rao Can.

Rao Can smiled and nodded, the one who smiled was an elegant royal sister Fan Er, and the anger of the two boys disappeared immediately.

"What's wrong?" A cold voice rang out.

So familiar, as if it was the sound of a cello flowing through his mind, Jiang Nuan turned around and saw the slender figure.

He was still wearing that simple sweater, the simpler it made him stand out.

"Lu Ran? You... came to eat Babylon too?"

One of them looked at Lu Ran: "Lu Ran, do you know them? Classmates?"

Another baby-faced one followed: "They almost swept the roasted wings clean..."

"Then let them eat, as long as they have the ability to finish eating." Lu Ran looked at Jiang Nuan with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth again. He turned around and tapped lightly on the wall with his fingers.

There is a sign on the wall - five times the fine for waste.

Looking at the brand, Jiang Nuan felt full before he even started eating.

When he returned to his position, Cheng Doudou regretted it.

"It's over, those two boys and Lu Ran are together! We scooped up the chicken wings, will Lu Ran be angry with us and stop teaching Xiao Nuan!"

"Don't worry, he won't! If my dad is worried about whether I can continue to study in the second year of high school, Lu Ran will be even more uncomfortable. In the whole Nanshi, he can't find a better coach than my dad. "

Having said that, Jiang Nuan's heart uncontrollably focused on the table behind him.

The sound of their chatting, the crisp sound of their knife and fork touching the plate, and the sound of their clinking glasses all hit Jiang Nuan's nerves.

Xu Zitian leaned in front of Lu Ran and whispered, "Lu Ran, those three girls are all from the middle school attached to your Normal University? They're very bold! If they can eat so much, who can afford them in the future?"

"It's difficult for you to raise yourself." Lu Ran didn't even raise his eyes.

"What's the name of that girl with long hair?" Mu Sheng looked in Rao Can's direction from time to time.

"Ask yourself."

"What about that? The one who used a plate to scoop chicken wings..." Xu Zitian stared at Cheng Doudou without any cover, Cheng Doudou lowered his head and looked a little pitiful.

"Didn't you hear our head Lu say 'ask yourself'?" Mu Sheng smiled, as if he really wanted to get up.

Mu Sheng was about to approach him when Lu Ran suddenly dropped a sentence.

"Coach Jiang's daughter is there."

"What? You mean...the daughter of our patriarch is also there? Which one?" Xu Zitian immediately turned to look at them.

"Don't stare at others like that, you lose your share!" Mu Sheng tapped Xu Zitian on the head, "Let me guess, the daughter of the patriarch must have the temperament of a fairy sister, she must be the girl with long hair!"

"But I think it should be the one with the chicken wings and the round face!"

At this time, Rao Can had already used a plate to divide Cheng Doudou's chicken wings in half, and got up to bring them to Lu Ran.

"Okay, Doudou, don't be so sad. You two made a mistake, and I will go to the public relations to make up for it. Lu Ran won't be angry with you, isn't it just roasted wings?"

Rao Can came to Lu Ran's table with roasted wings, Mu Sheng immediately stood up, and even Xu Zitian stood up, only Lu Ran was still sitting there.

"I'm sorry just now, we Doudou love grilled wings very much, but every time we come here, we can't rob others. This time, I was a little excited when I saw the grilled wings that just came out of the oven. I knew that everyone was my own, so why would I need to grab it? ."

Rao Can's words "my own person" made Mu Sheng immediately happy.

"Thank you, Junior Sister!"

As soon as Mu Sheng took the plate, Rao Can couldn't help laughing: "Junior sister? When did I become a junior sister?"

"You said 'my own person' just now...Aren't you Coach Jiang's daughter?"

"Me?" Rao Can was stunned for a while, and then he reacted immediately, "You guys learned fencing with Coach Jiang, right? I'm Rao Can, that's Cheng Doudou, as for your junior sister..."

"Ah...she's Coach Jiang's daughter..."

Although Jiang Nuan didn't pass, they could hear their conversation clearly, including the disappointment in Mu Sheng's voice.

Since they were all her father's disciples, she had nothing to be ashamed of, she turned her head and gestured to wipe her neck.

Xu Zitian scratched his head and said, "Looking at it this way, it really looks like Coach Jiang."

"Where is it like?"

"The fierce look is quite similar."

Mu Sheng laughed following Xu Zitian's words, and by the way, he pushed Lu Ran with his elbow and said, "Master Lu, is our junior sister who has inherited the fine tradition of the ancestors and is fierce every day?"

"There are always silly cats who think they are tigers."

Lu Ran said lightly, and Mu Sheng and Xu Zitian laughed along with them.

Even geniuses have character flaws!

"Of course—everything is too much, and fate is bound to end sooner!"

"Ayo, where did this come from?" Lu Jinfeng asked with a smile.

""Wind and Cloud dominates the world"! Uncle definitely doesn't watch TV series!"

The two families laughed.

After eating, the Lu Ran family helped pack up and left.

In the evening, Jiang Nuan was sitting on the head of the bed, looking at "Man Friends" borrowed from Doudou, when a knock on the door sounded, Jiang Nuan immediately hid the magazine under the quilt.

"Xiao Nuan, can Dad come in?"

"okay……"

Her father is probably going to have a long talk with her about her "running away from home" this time. Let's talk about it. Today, I have "let it go". It is "disobedience".

Jiang Huai opened the door, walked in, pulled the chair, and sat down beside Jiang Nuan's bed.

"Xiao Nuan, Dad has something to say to you."

"Oh." Jiang Nuan lowered her head, she was not used to chatting with her father.

"I know, you're not happy that I don't let you practice fencing, and I also know that although I don't let you practice with me, it doesn't mean you haven't practiced secretly elsewhere."

Jiang Nuan's fingertips trembled, and it was over. Could it be that the situation had reversed, and my father had come to Xing Shi to ask for his guilt.

"Although we guessed it to some extent, we all kept silent because...because we also understand that people always have some hobbies. We deprive you of all other things you like to do in order to get you into college. wrong."

Jiang Nuan's originally tense mood slowly relaxed. In fact, every time she was an excuse to go to a cram school with Rao Can and the others, she actually went to a certain fencing club. At the end of each practice, I have to rush to the cram school, for fear that my parents will suddenly come to pick her up at night.

"Dad, you are the first world championship champion from our Nanshi City and the best coach here. I don't understand that you can teach Lu Ran so patiently, and even cultivate conciseness, but you won't teach me, yes why?"

"Because...because parents don't want their children to walk a difficult road, they all want you to live a simple and happy life. What you see is the glory of being an athlete and winning glory for the country, but you I didn't see the sadness behind it. Not everyone can stand on the best and highest arena to show what he has learned in his life. This competition may be more intense than the college entrance examination. And even if you stand very high, so what? What? Soon there will be younger, better and more talented people who will surpass you. You are always trying not to be overtaken. And when you come down, you will soon be forgotten. After my uncle retired, because I wasn't a student, and I wasn't good at managing relationships, the money I earned from being an athlete would soon run out... Your mother has to work harder to earn money to take care of the family."

"But Uncle Lu is different. He was admitted to the university and entered the sports bureau."

"Yes, I envy you Uncle Lu, but I never envy him. Everything he has is his hard work. Although the saying 'knowledge is power' is too old-fashioned, it is true. Full of enthusiasm after all It will subside, but after Dad doesn't want you...you don't even have the money to live your life well."

Jiang Nuan listened to his father's words quietly.

Although Jiang Huai did not speak deeply, Jiang Nuan knew that his father must have many regrets and injustices in his life.

"Dad, when mom was pregnant with me, did you worry that I wasn't good? What if I couldn't get into college? What if I couldn't find a good job? What if I kept getting old? What if I let Are you and my mother exhausted for a lifetime?" Jiang Nuan asked earnestly with his head raised.

Jiang Huai couldn't help but laugh.

"Who knows? But you were born to me and can only be raised."

"So, my path is my own choice, and I only know when I go down."

"Yo, you still know how to pretend to be an adult?" Jiang Huai pressed Jiang Nuan's head.

Jiang Nuan took his father's hand and begged, "Just sign it for me?"

"What word?"

"Just the registration form for the National Youth Championship! Minors need their parents' signatures."

"I won't sign. Your mother won't sign either." Jiang Huai got up.

"Dad - why are you like this!"

Jiang Huai chuckled: "When the school starts, if you can pass the test and continue to study in the second year of high school, I will sign it for you."

"real?"

"Really." Jiang Huai rubbed her daughter's head, "You can pursue the sky above your head, but don't forget your feet."

"Dad, your preaching is too outdated."

"Really, then I'm not out of date."

"what?"

"You're reading comic books under the quilt, and you think I don't know?"

Jiang Nuan immediately became nervous.

Jiang Huai didn't ask Jiang Nuan to "turn in the stolen goods", but got up and left.

When his father left, Jiang Nuan was happy but sad for three seconds.

To pass the test at the beginning of the school, how can do without Lu Ran?

But I swore I just said I wouldn't bother him anymore!

How to take it back!

Jiang Nuan kicked the quilt vigorously twice, thinking that she might be finished this time.

Who knew that Jiang Nuan was woken up by his mother again the next morning.

"Xiao Nuan, get up! Get up! Hurry up, Lu Ran is here!"

"What! Lu Ran is here!" Jiang Nuan sat up suddenly.

"Yes. Hurry up, Lu Ran will give you a lesson, he has training in the afternoon, don't dawdle!"

Jiang Nuan came to the door of the room barefoot in her pajamas, and just wanted to see if Lu Ran was really here, but who knew that the other party was just walking to her door, and the two looked at each other, Jiang Nuan felt inexplicably their eyes Got scalded.

Lu Ran lowered his head, saw her bare feet, closed the door of her bedroom, and said across the door, "put on your shoes quickly."

So, in the winter vacation after Jiang Nuan, Lu Ran was basically there.

The muddy down jacket was put into the washing machine by my mother to poison it again. After drying, the down inside was no longer as fluffy as before, and it lost its previous effect when worn on the body.

On the contrary, the strap of the small knitted satchel that he was hanging on the hanger was hooked with wool.

"Mom - this is what you knitted for me?" Jiang Nuan came to her mother with a small bag, wanting to act coquettishly.

"Ah? It's not me."

"It's not you... Who else could it be. Could it be my father?"

"I don't know."

Maybe Dad took it to grandma and asked grandma to hook it up?

Jiang Nuan called grandma, but grandma said she didn't know Jiang Nuan's bag was broken.

Who hooked the yarn for her? Such ingenuity, doing good deeds without leaving a name... Jiang Nuan's mind came to a certain person's name, and then immediately shook his head - it's hard to imagine the way that person is crocheting yarn! If he has such a skill, he might as well finish knitting that scarf!

The night before school started, Jiang Nuan couldn't sleep. She tossed in the quilt like pancakes.

She really couldn't sleep, so she turned on the light again, and read the set of mock exam papers, mathematics and small synthesis that Lu Ran gave her.

It was obvious that Lu Ran was not a god, so it was much more difficult to figure out the paper that the teacher gave out, but Jiang Nuan still read the paper from beginning to end, and his irritability finally subsided. He pulled the quilt and slept until dawn.

The next morning, she turned out her school uniform, put a set of pants on her body, and her ankles were out, which seemed to be a little shorter than before the New Year.

"It's definitely I've grown taller, it can't be that I've gained weight!" Jiang Nuan said with great certainty.

As soon as he entered the elevator and opened the door, he saw Lu Ran.

His school uniform was covered with a down jacket with almost no style, and he was very tall and straight, so Jiang Nuan couldn't help but glance at it again.

"Your school uniform and pants are quite appropriate." Jiang Nuan looked down at Lu Ran's ankle.
