29. Provocative
This is the security Zhang Jiang Nuan still respects Uncle Lu, the old friend of his father's former rival and now. She got up, brushed her teeth and washed her face, and came to the living room, squinting and smiling at the Lu family. He said, "Uncle Lu, Aunt Yuan, Happy New Year!"
"Well, Xiao Nuan is really good!" Aunt Yuan pulled Jiang Nuan in front of her. From Lu Ran, she could tell that his mother was definitely a beauty.
"I just got up at ten o'clock. It's really good, little pig." Lu Ran's voice rose, and those eyes looked at her.
"If you are a little pig like Xiao Nuan, I also think you are cute." After that, Aunt Yuan took a red envelope to Jiang Nuan, "A happy new year, learning and progress."
"Thank you, Auntie Yuan!"
Before Jiang Nuan stuffed the red envelope into her pocket, Lu Ran's hand fell in front of her.
"Why?" Jiang Nuan asked.
"If you want to be safe and happy in the new year, you must rely on me to learn and progress. Don't you need to pay?"
"Cut!" Jiang Nuan shook his head and left.
It happened that Jiang Nuan and Lu Ran's father wanted to drink some rice wine, so he sent them both out to buy wine.
The jar of yellow wine had a bit of weight. After Jiang Nuan gave the money, he thought Lu Ran would take it, but who knew that Lu Ran stood there with his pockets in his pocket and didn't mean to reach out.
Jiang Nuan pouted, "Can't you just move it?"
"Do you know what it looks like from the back when you carry the wine?"
"Like what?" Jiang Nuan felt that it was definitely not a good word.
"Polar bear cubs, so I decided to watch Animal World a little more in the back."
"..."
Don't you just say I'm fat! Say I'm swollen!
Jiang Nuan held the jar of wine and walked in front angrily.
didn't think you were that annoying until yesterday!
Lu Ran followed slowly.
After hugging for a long distance, Jiang Nuan's arm was a little sore, the wine didn't sink, the wine jar was really sinking.
"Jiang Nuan!"
Lu Ran's voice sounded from above her head, and as soon as she looked up, she saw several people on motorcycles roaring past the roadside, making arrogant noises, her shoulders were buckled, and they were taken away.
The wine jar smashed to the ground. The motorcycle team of the junior middle school youths left without caring.
Sadness welled up in my heart - Omg, that long stretch of road was holding it in vain!
"Don't you look at the road? I'm not so lucky every time..." Halfway through Lu Ran's words, it was as if the cracked bottle was suddenly closed again.
Jiang Nuan looked up, but Lu Ran's eyes let her know that she scared him just now.
And many years later, when she grew up, she realized that Lu Ran's "I'm not so lucky every time" means "I'm worried that I won't be by your side every time you're in danger".
"Then you'll be fine with wine!" Jiang Nuan replied unhappily.
"You wait here, I'll go back and buy wine." Lu Ran said.
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Nuan felt a lot better.
At least Lu Ran has to hold the big wine jar all the way.
Seeing that Lu Ran was far away, Jiang Nuan, who was bored of waiting, ran to the fireworks shop by the roadside and bought some gadgets.
As soon as Jiang Nuan came out of the store, he saw Lu Ran walking away with a bottle of wine.
Jiang Nuan squinted and stared at his hand until he walked in front of him.
"Hey! Why did you buy the bottled one!"
"It's all flower carvings, and it's all the same in their mouths. Do you really think they'll taste it carefully?"
Lu Ran carried the wine and continued to walk forward.
Jiang Nuan's heart was unhappy.
Can the flower carving of a glass bottle feel as good as being poured out of a wine jar?
Lu Ran is taking chances! This is cheating!
The more Jiang Nuan thought about it, the more angry she became. If Lu Ran bought wine like this, then what was it that she hugged her all the way just now!
They entered the yard and happened to pass Aunt Chen's downstairs.
Aunt Chen lives on the first floor and brings her own small yard.
She kept a litter of chickens in the yard, cooing.
Jiang Nuan squinted his eyes and smirked - Lu Ran, aren't you a serious baby?
She took out the throwing gun she just bought from her pocket and threw it into Aunt Chen's yard.
There was a sound of "bang" on the ground, and the chickens in the cage screamed hoarsely, fluttering so much that their feathers flew.
"Which one kills a thousand knives - little brat!"
Aunt Chen roared, pushed open the yard door and rushed out, only to see Lu Ran standing at the door with wine.
As for Jiang Nuan, he had long run away, stuck his head out from the corner of the yard, glanced at Lu Ran smugly, and retracted again.
"Hey, Lu Ran, why are you? Did you see anyone throwing cannons into my yard?" When Aunt Chen saw Lu Ran, her anger was half gone.
Lu Ran raised his chin and hinted at the corner of the yard, but Jiang Nuan pricked up his ears and wanted to hear Lu Ran's rebuttal seriously.
"Isn't it Jiang Nuan? That little thing likes to do bad things since she was a child! In the past, the grape vines grew out of my place, and she took away all the grapes that had just grown! When she was a child, she also loved to follow the little ones in the courtyard. Throwing a cannonball in my yard!" Aunt Chen patted Lu Ran's shoulder with a worried look, "Aren't you scared? Did it blow you up?"
"No. Aunt Chen, I'm going up to eat."
"Oh, well, you go, you go!"
Jiang Nuan, who was nestled in the corner, was very angry.
What's the logic of this Aunt Chen? When she opened the door and saw Lu Ran outside, she didn't even doubt Lu Ran?
This Aunt Chen has no normal logic at all!
Lu Ran didn't wait for Jiang Nuan, and entered the unit door by himself.
Jiang Nuan stared at her head for a long time, and when she saw Aunt Chen entered the yard, she rushed back to her unit.
Who knew that although Aunt Chen entered the yard, she was watching from the window: "Jiang Nuan—it's really you!"
For fear that Lu Ran would go back and sue her about the black state first, she must follow in Lu Ran's footsteps.
When Lu Ran pressed the doorbell, Jiang Nuan rushed behind him.
Luo Chen opened the door for them and took the wine.
"You two are back! The food is ready, come in quickly."
Jiang Huai and Lu Jinfeng also came in. Jiang Huai picked up the bottle of wine that Lu Ran bought and said with a smile, "Is this what Lu Ran bought?"
"Hey, how do you know?" Jiang Nuan was just about to say that Lu Ran bought a glass bottle to save energy.
"I usually drink 68 yuan a jar of wine. You, Uncle Lu, have to drink this kind of 108 wine. Isn't Lu Ran the only one who can buy it? ."
"Ah? Isn't the jar more expensive?" Jiang Nuan was a little stunned.
So, Lu Ran wasn't trying to save energy, but the bottle he chose was better?
Lu Jinfeng came over and patted Jiang Nuan on the shoulder: "The wine still depends on the year."
It's not red wine, what year is it? Also drawing 1852!
The point is that Lu Ran clearly knows what their father likes to drink, so why didn't she say it when she was holding that big jar all the way!
No, why didn't she say it when she chose this jar of wine!
This is like two people writing papers together. Lu Ran looked at Jiang Nuan in order to save effort. As a result, just after two steps, he realized that Jiang Nuan had made a mistake, so he didn’t tell Jiang Nuan, he made the correct answer and handed in the paper, and he also Got the teacher's praise!
You are not angry!
When it came to dinner, Jiang Nuan didn't want to talk to Lu Ran at all. The atmosphere at the dinner table was very lively. Jiang Huai and Lu Jinfeng recalled the glorious past. It seemed that they did not know each other, and even their mother laughed happily.
"Xiao Nuan, I haven't seen you eat a few bites of so many dishes! This Babao chicken made by your mother is my favorite!" Lu Ran's mother signaled that her son should get along with Jiang Nuan.
Lu Ran picked up the chicken wings of Babao Chicken and put it in Jiang Nuan's bowl. He lowered his voice and said in a serious tone, "This chicken should have never been frightened by a cannonball before it was sacrificed."
There was such a plain and upright expression on his face.
"You like throwing guns so much, do you want me to invite you to eat?" Jiang Nuan asked in a low voice.
"Ah? What throwing guns?"
Jiang Nuan turned his face to stare at Lu Ran, warning him not to talk nonsense.
Lu Ran lowered his head and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.
At this time, the phone rang, Jiang Nuan's mother got up to answer the phone, and then kept apologizing. When she returned to the dinner table, she looked at Jiang Nuan with her arms crossed.
"Um, mom...what's the matter?"
"Jiang Nuan, Jiang Nuan, you really don't fight for a day, you go to the house to uncover the tiles!" Luo Chen frowned, "What are you doing to scare the chickens raised by Aunt Chen with a cannon?"
Jiang Nuan froze, but she didn't expect Aunt Chen to call their house.
"She didn't see it with her own eyes..." Jiang Nuan knew that what she did was definitely wrong, but Aunt Chen completely believed that Lu Ran didn't fry her chicken, and she was sure just by seeing her running out from the corner of the yard It's her, and it's very unpleasant.
"Chen's Aunt Chen said that she saw you. What is she doing to frame you for the New Year?" Luo Chen was actually not angry.
This second half sentence made Jiang Nuan suddenly sad.
"When can you be as sensible as Lu Ran? Studying is not as good as others, and you won't be considerate of your parents, and you have to cause trouble..."
Before Jiang Huai's words were finished, Lu Ran, who had not spoken, said, "Uncle, Jiang Nuan is very good."
"What is she like?" Jiang Huai shook his head helplessly.
"I don't want to eat it."
Jiang Nuan was about to get up, but Jiang Huai stopped her.
"Okay! It's just a small matter! There are still guests! Don't be too self-willed, you child!"
Yes, it's really just a small thing.
But she has lived for so many years and has never experienced a big storm, so small things are big things for her.
Moreover, she always felt that Lu Ran had a lofty and unshakable position in her parents' hearts. And she, Jiang Nuan, seems to be born for comparison and reference.
"Dad, if one day the teacher said that I was talking to my classmate in class, would you believe it? Do you believe it if someone said I couldn't get into college? Some people even said that I didn't have the speed, explosiveness, and skills. If you can't practice fencing well, you won't let me touch it for the rest of your life? Anyway, because Lu Ran has good grades and good academic performance, he is a model and a template! You all recognize and praise! Is nothing to believe in?"
Jiang Nuan stood there, looking at Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai was stunned. He never expected that one day his daughter would ask him these questions, like a complaint.
"Xiao Nuan, how are you talking to your parents?" Luo Chen wanted to pull her down and sit down.
But I don't know why, when my mother said that when Lu Ran saw her throwing a cannonball, she could still be fake, Jiang Nuan hoped that her mother would ask her, "Did you really throw a cannonball?"
Even if her mother knew her too well, she moved her butt to know whether she was going to the bathroom or the kitchen to find food, she still hoped that she would ask her, instead of assuming what she did from other people's words.
"I don't know how to talk to you, so you will listen to what I say. Dad said that I won't let me practice fencing, okay... Because I'm not as good as Lu Ran in my studies, and if I get distracted, I won't be able to go to college, you guys say That's right. When the arts and sciences were divided into classes, you said that the liberal arts had a narrow career choice. My father dreamed of going to university for engineering, and my mother studied medicine. Who cares about how hard I struggle? Whoever thinks that there are only ten majors in the liberal arts, I can study ten, and I can't do a hundred majors in the sciences!"
Jiang Nuan was stunned, she really couldn't imagine Lu Ran standing up to challenge Teacher Cai.
"Mr. Cai asked 'what's not logical?'. Lu Ran replied, 'Jiang Nuan scored 115 points in the English test this time, and Li Shuyue scored 105 points, a difference of 10 points. How did Jiang Nuan disturb Li Shuyue in class while making a big difference How about improving your English grades?'. The classmates all looked at Teacher Cai, and even one or two applauded without thinking. Teacher Cai was blocked and couldn't say anything, and called you back to your seat with a cold face. You ask me why you chose the science class. I don't think it's because of Lu Ran, but because Teacher Cai is the head teacher of the liberal arts class. You think she has prejudice against you, and that incident really hurt you. Love face, where can I go to the liberal arts class to accept the leadership of Teacher Cai."
Jiang Nuan tilted her head, as if a vague shadow flashed in her mind, and a tall and unshakable figure stood in front of her, questioning and resisting the injuries imposed on her.
"You don't even remember this, do you?"
"...It seems to be a bit of an impression. Then...I'm in love with him?"
"Who knows. When you fell in love with him, only you know."
After chatting with Rao Can, Jiang Nuan was sitting on the head of the bed. She didn't dare to close her eyes, because as soon as she closed her eyes, she would imagine Lu Ran's back standing up.
In mind, no matter how wipe it, can't wipe it off.
But Jiang Nuan was a big-hearted person. After a while, he pulled the quilt up, and Lu Ran, Teacher Cai and Li Shuyue were all thrown out of Jiuxiaoyun.
The next day, Jiang Nuan was still in a hurry, and her mother opened the door and pulled her up.
"Xiao Nuan, wake up."
"Um... What are you doing when you wake up... I'm on vacation..." Jiang Nuan raised his leg and clamped the quilt, just as he was about to go back to sleep, the quilt was pulled away mercilessly.
"Lu Ran is here. Didn't your dad say yesterday that Lu Ran would help you pick up things from last semester?"
"What! Lu Ran is here?" Jiang Nuan sat up suddenly, glanced at the alarm clock by the bed, it was only eight in the morning!
It's so early, is it tutoring or reincarnation!
"Yes. Hurry up, brush your teeth and wash your face, I'll go make breakfast for the two of you. Study hard after breakfast! You really want to repeat your grades!"
Jiang Nuan turned his face sideways and looked towards the living room from the crack of the open door, just in time to see Lu Ran's profile face, fortunately... He didn't continue to wrap around the unfinished scarf... Otherwise, he would be embarrassed to death. .
Jiang Nuan brushed his teeth and washed his face as quickly as possible, and came out neatly dressed.
Mom happened to bring red bean porridge and hot steamed buns.
"Come and have something to eat."
Lu Ran stood up with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you Auntie."
Jiang Nuan was stunned for a while, Lu Ran's smile was beautiful, but unfortunately it was almost only at the elders he respected.
Simply scheming boy! Serious and sensible, adults believe him.
In Jiang Nuan's heart, high cold + serious + sensible = boring. When she thought of the rumor that she had chased this boring guy for a semester, she got a head start!
Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, everything is outside the body, you can become a Buddha if you have no face and no skin, no matter how many Lu Rans are, they are all bubble phantoms!
The more embarrassed you are, the more Lu Ran will laugh at you with that "rumour of the rivers and lakes".
"Hey, Lu Ran, why did you get up so early? Have a good winter vacation and don't sleep in!" Jiang Nuan reached out and took a bun.
"You'll get burned."
Lu Ran Gujing's unwavering voice was in stark contrast to Jiang Nuan's screams as his tongue burned.
Jiang Nuan's tears fell, and she saw Lu Ran holding a glass in front of her slender fingers.
"Zhu Bajie was so anxious that the ceiling was scalded by hot tofu."
Jiang Nuan stared hard at Lu Ran, are you laughing? Are you laughing?
When Mom came out with a stack of side dishes, the depression at the corner of Lu Ran's mouth was like a boat being submerged by the ocean, and he couldn't see anything.
Jiang Nuan's tongue hurt, so he quickly took a big mouthful of cold water. Lu Ran calmly poked the bun into his bowl with his chopsticks, took a bite of the side dish, and waited for the heat in the bun to escape from the small hole poked by the chopsticks. .
Jiang Nuan's mother is now babbling: "Jiang Nuan, there are several high school students practicing swordsmanship with your father. After finishing their winter vacation homework, they can still adhere to basic training every day, and there are confrontation exercises from 3:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon. But I don't know, you're not good at studying, you've been shouting all day that you want to practice fencing with your father, but I haven't seen you practice."
Jiang Nuan nodded, trying to plug his ears.
Lu Ran drank a bowl of porridge, ate two buns, sat in the same place, turned his face to look at Jiang Nuan.
His silence and his gaze made Jiang Nuan almost unable to sit still, but she still ate the buns slowly, deliberately dragging the limited time to infinity.
After about five minutes, Lu Ran stood up and hooked Jiang Nuan's back collar with his fingers.
"Go. Study."
"I haven't finished eating yet!"
"Eating too much can leave your brain with insufficient blood flow."
Lu Ran's fingertips were warm. When she was holding Jiang Nuan's back collar, her fingers pressed against the back of her neck. Jiang Nuan's shoulders immediately shrugged, which made Lu Ran's fingers stick even tighter.
"You... don't drag me! My neck is about to break!"
Jiang Nuan sat at the table and watched Lu Ran spread out the math textbook for the second year of high school in front of her. She scratched her head and said, "Oh! Your IQ is not on the same level, you want me to master the knowledge of the second year of high school for more than two weeks, it is simply anti-human!"
"Hurry up. Start with the proposition."
"Just let me repeat. The big deal is that I'll go to the liberal arts class."
Jiang Nuan leaned back and sighed. He didn't hear a word from Lu Ran for a long time, so he turned to look at him.
Lu Ran's expression was stern. He was holding the water pen with his fingers. Because of the force, the originally beautiful knuckles were turning white, but they loosened when Jiang Nuan first noticed it.
"...I said to repeat the grade or go to the liberal arts class, so you don't need to be so angry." Jiang Nuan quickly sat up and put on a serious look.
"I managed to send you to the top three exam rooms of the grade, and you'll tell me if you chose to repeat the grade or the liberal arts class?" Lu Ran's voice had a refreshing function, he squinted his eyes, supported his chin, and gently pointed Knocked, as if thinking about something, Jiang Nuan was a little nervous.
"You...what are you thinking?"
