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. You are 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 think you're cute too." After speaking, Aunt Yuan gave Jiang Nuan a red envelope, "A happy new year, learning and progress."

"Thank you, Auntie Yuan!"

Before Jiang Nuan put the red envelope into her pocket, Lu Ran's hand fell down 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!"

"Don't think so much! You are not fit to use your brain now!" Rao Can comforted.

Before the Chinese New Year, many patients were discharged from the hospital. Jiang Nuan's whole body, including his brain, was carefully examined. MRI was used, but nothing was found. The pneumonia was completely cured, so he was ready to be discharged.

Jiang Nuan's father and mother packed her things and took her home.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Nuan looked out the window. Everything outside the car window was so familiar, but a small part of her memory was lost.

Jiang Nuan sighed.

It's just a short paragraph, life is so long, the capacity of the brain is limited, and forgetting is to remember more important things.

Jiang Nuan's mother Luo Chen put her arms around her daughter's shoulder and comforted her: "Are you worried that you have forgotten all the knowledge from the second semester of high school? It doesn't matter, it is very likely that you will suddenly remember it when you read the book. Your father discussed it and asked a special teacher to make it up for you. If you still have an impression, you may be able to pick it up. The next semester starts, and the class teacher will arrange a test for you. If your grades are good, you can continue to read. If the grades are not satisfactory, we will study it again for the next semester as a solid foundation."

Jiang Nuan glanced at her father, Jiang Huai, who was driving. She knew deeply that he was a saber athlete, and always hoped that her daughter could go to a good university instead of graduating from high school like her father did. After retiring, she lost her athlete. The halo of life, the choice of life is much less.

"You have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step. Since you have returned to the same place, if you can't catch up with others when you run, it is better to start from the same place and walk step by step more steadily than others." Jiang Huai opened his mouth.

Jiang Nuan turned her face to the side, looked out the window, and whispered, "I don't like reading, I think it's good to go to a sports school and be an athlete."

Mother glanced at Jiang Nuan and motioned her to stop mentioning the matter of the sports school. Father Jiang Huai's greatest hope for Jiang Nuan is that she will be able to enter a university seriously.

When he got home, Jiang Nuan took a hot bath and sat in front of his desk. He suddenly remembered what Cheng Doudou had said about the white swan in his blog, and hurried to his parents' study.

In their home, computers are strictly controlled. Afraid that Jiang Nuan's addiction to the Internet will affect his studies, his parents usually lock the door of the study, but they never imagined that there is a place outside called "Internet Cafe".

The mother who was preparing the evening hot pot in the kitchen shouted: "Hey, you girl, why do you go to the computer as soon as you come back!"

"Mom - I have something to confirm! Otherwise, even if the Buddha's light shines, I won't go to heaven!"

Jiang Nuan originally wanted to log in to his blog, but who knows... the password is wrong!

Her birthday plus the house number, not right.

Her student number plus birthday, not right.

Her parents' birthday month, not right.

Can't even try it!

"Forget it!"

Password try again tomorrow! Take a look at what you've posted today!

Jiang Nuan searched for herself, and then she saw the blog that made her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys burst - you are a white swan, but I can't bear to eat swan meat, you can give me a piece of feathers.

Oh my god!

It's not just hot eyes! It is simply a denial of the sturdy life of the past ten years!

Can't watch it any longer!

If she keeps watching, she will lose the courage to live!

Fortunately, only Doudou and Rao Can know about her blog, and both of them left messages under the blog.

quack quack quack pea: hee hee, as soon as Master Nuan came out, he went bald and the swans were hairless!

The fairy of the Nile: Leaps only eat swan meat, let's eat roast duck.

And an ID she had never seen before also left a sentence: I would rather you always be an ugly duckling who doesn't grow up.

"Nima, the ugly duckling who never grows up? This person has a grudge against me!"

The ugly duckling will never become a white swan when it grows up.

This is the same as cursing that the little green worm can never break its cocoon and become a butterfly... Of course, it may just be an ugly moth after breaking its cocoon.

Jiang Nuan immediately turned off the computer, and she was no longer in the mood to retrieve the password.

At this time, the mother in the kitchen shouted: "Xiao Nuan, do me a favor and put the tableware and chopsticks."

Jiang Nuan turned off the computer, cleaned up his mood, and walked out, looking at the table full of lamb slices, beef slices, tofu, fish balls, and vegetables, dumbfounded.

"Mom! It's just our family of three, what are you doing with so many dishes!"

Even if you want to make up for her, it's not like this!

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Today Lu Ran came back from the imperial capital. His father has to work overtime to prepare for the club fencing league at this stop, and his mother will not come back from her training until tomorrow. Lu Ran will have dinner with our family tonight. "

Jiang Nuan was holding the bowl and almost slipped.

"Lu... Lu Ran is coming to our house for dinner?"

"What's the matter with you? Lu Ran came to our house for dinner before, weren't you very happy?"

"I... am I happy?"

How am I happy?

——The "fly hand rubbing style" appeared in her mind, looking forward to it...

"Also, Lu Ran brought you out of the pond this time. The doctor said that if it's later, you'll be gone." Luo Chen brought the stewed bone soup, this is their hot pot soup base , and then gave Jiang Nuan a serious look, "You didn't know how scary you were at that time. The children on the shore were crying, and a few adults were in a hurry and didn't know where you were. Only Lu Ran jumped down to look for it without saying anything. is you."

"The pond is not deep... I remember it seems to be one meter eight..."

"Not deep? Not deep, it's more than your height! You can't even climb up! Lu Ran pushed you up, and you were unconscious. Originally, Lu Ran was going to the imperial capital for confrontation training that afternoon, but you got pneumonia. , the hospital said that your high fever will not go down and your brain will be broken. Your father and I are both blinded. It was Lu Ran who stayed with us for two days. Line up for payment, food and water for you. They are all teenage children. Lu Ran is really sensible."

Hearing this, Jiang Nuan was surprised.

Because she always felt that Lu Ran was the kind of guy who was very indifferent to other people's affairs, but she didn't expect that he would save her. Of course, everyone's life is at stake, and they are all classmates, so it's not impossible to see death, but Jiang Nuan didn't expect that her parents would be with her in the hospital for two days.

At this moment, the doorbell rang, Jiang Nuan's heart trembled, and she saw her mother rushing to the door with a warm voice: "Lu Ran is here! Come in! Are you tired of coming back from the imperial capital for the New Year?"

"Thank you auntie, I'm fine, not tired."

In the moist and warm hot pot, Lu Ran's voice has a calm and restrained voice that does not belong to this age, just like the wind blowing through the treetops in winter, with pieces of ice ridges hitting one after another cold voice, once it cracks, The warmth of another world will flow in.

"Where's your luggage?"

"Let's go home."

Lu Ran was standing at the door changing his slippers. At this time, Jiang Nuan could only see the top of his head.

Because of his fencing practice, he is taller than the other boys in his grade, typical of long arms and long legs. Female classmates who like to watch Korean dramas are full of fantasies about Lu Ran's long legs.

He is putting his head down and putting his shoes into the shoe cabinet. From this angle, Jiang Nuan can just see his straight nose and slightly upward lashes.

Lu Ran's eyelashes are very long, but they are not feminine. On the contrary, they make his neat facial features appear much softer.

"Oops! I boiled rice wine and stewed eggs! I almost forgot!"

As soon as mother walked away, there was no more shelter between Jiang Nuan and Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was wearing a dark-colored knee-length coat, and even casual slacks, Jiang Nuan could imagine that the lines of his calf must be smooth and powerful.

The smoky gray and white woolen collar seemed to be a little short, and it only went around the neck, and the strong chin was buried in the collar, which gave him a little boyish temperament.

The words from my blog flashed in my mind - you are a white swan, but I am reluctant to eat swan meat, you can give me a piece of feathers.

Jiang Nuan took a step back, but Lu Ran just raised his head. There was not much turbulence in those clear eyes. He took off his coat indifferently and hung it on the hanger by the door.

"Are you ill?" His voice was still cold from the north.

"Ah... um, alright..."

"Can you do homework during the winter vacation?" Lu Ran turned his back to her, his voice light.

"No, the things I learned in the second year of high school are returned to the teacher." Jiang Nuan licked his lower lip.

But more than ten seconds passed, and Lu Ran's voice was not heard.

As soon as Jiang Nuan raised his eyes, he found that Lu Ran was leaning towards him.

Under the backlight, there seemed to be a faint streamer in his eyes, making her unpredictable.

"Which teacher can teach you."

"What?" Jiang Nuan subconsciously took a half step back.

But Lu Ran got closer, and his cool voice sounded in her ear: "Except me."

"what?"

"Not to the teacher, but to me." Lu Ran glanced at Jiang Nuan and walked to the kitchen, "Aunt Luo, I'll serve you the rice wine."

Like a hallucination, the tense heart slowly unwinds.

It seems that Rao Can said that Lu Ran was a plug-in she got into in the science class. Wasn't it a fabrication?

"Oh, leave it to me here. Just go and sit, and I'll bake you a patty, and you'll have a pad for your stomach."

Jiang Nuan touched her chin. Could it be that she had paid for the phone bill as a gift, or she had just been discharged from the hospital after recovering from a serious illness, and her mother did not cook her braised pork, but baked a meat pie for Lu Ran?

Lu Ran helped Jiang Nuan's mother put the rice wine pot on the table.

Jiang Nuan's father also finished the phone call and came over from the balcony to eat.

"Oh! Lu Ran is here! I heard that in this practice match, you almost won Jianming! It's incredible, and the future generations are terrifying."

Jian Ming was the first student of his father Jiang Huai, and he was also the most proud of him. He was the Sabre Champion of the National Collegiate Fencing League, and was also selected to participate in the Youth Olympic Games.

Jiang Nuan lowered his head and underestimated a sentence in a low voice: "I almost won, but I lost. Why is it still 'fearful for future generations'."

"The speed of conciseness is very fast, and the distance control of stepping back and defensive counterattack is worth learning from."

"He has more actual combat experience than you. I watched the video of your practice match. It's beyond my expectation that you can suppress him for so long." Jiang Nuan's father poured a glass of rice wine and held the cup with Lu Ran, "You Where's your father? Did he put pressure on you again?"

"It's not a pressure, it's just asking me to analyze the reason why I lost to Jane."

"Is it the reason for every sword? A lot of things in this world can't be achieved without hard work and seriousness, and it takes time."

The two chatted, which made Jiang Nuan a little envious. Lu Ran practiced the sword with her father. They had a lot of topics, but her father didn't teach her much. This feeling made Jiang Nuan sour.

When she was a child, Jiang Nuan's father was the object of her showing off. He once won the championship at the World Championships and also won the bronze medal at the Olympic Games.

But as she grew up little by little, Jiang Nuan stopped showing off to others, because such a father refused to teach Jiang Nuan fencing, insisting that she study hard every day and get into a good university, but instead devoted herself to Lu Ran Do your best.

Jiang Nuan knew that part of her previous disgust with Lu Ran was also due to envy.

Turning his face to the side, Lu Ran looked good even when he was eating hot pot. His eyebrows and eyes seemed to be dyed in ink. His seemingly cold and indifferent facial features had a faint charm.

Don't look! No matter how good-looking it is, it is not on my own face!

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 an opponent, when she stood opposite me, I thought that I had the right place and the right place, and of course I would win to the end. But when she hit me with a sword, it seemed like the past ten years had gone by. After that, I can only stare at her. There are so many outstanding people in this world, but I can only look at her - probably because she gave me such an amazing opening."

"Really... an opponent?" Jiang Nuan's eyes were full of mist, and he couldn't see Lu Ran's expression at all.

Does Lu Ran mean conciseness? But Lu Ran would not despise conciseness!

"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 opponent? Are you helping my father to 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 don't remember anything." Lu Ran's napkin was stretched out and stuck to Jiang Nuan's nose. Jiang Nuan blew it out as if venting his anger. Lu Ran seemed to hold the napkin indifferently.

"Remember what?" 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 him, 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 expectations My dad was so mad at me that he had high blood pressure and was admitted to the hospital."

Jiang Nuan was stunned, is there such a thing? She really doesn't 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, you were watching me and Concise on TV, analyzing my every stroke, win or lose. You said, if I didn't stick to it, then maybe Concise will 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 swordsmanship mentioned it. When I do, I will definitely talk about Concise. I am the backup for Concise's position, and he is his double insurance."

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