Chapter 6 Do You Believe in Fate?

Ji Ran's aunt recently added a great-grandson, and her parents brought her to congratulate her. After a long trip, Ji's father and Ji's mother decided to eat the wedding feast before leaving, but Ji Ran was really tired of the noise of the big room, so she found an excuse to sneak to the lake near the village to hide in peace. .

What she didn't expect was that as soon as she walked to the lake, she saw a familiar figure, it was Su Mei who was gathering here.

In the gleaming lake, the lotus flowers in the pond are dazzlingly blooming. On the green lotus leaves, the pink petals tremble slightly with the breeze. Su Mei stood in the summer color of the lotus pond, stroking his pen, silently embellishing the beauty of the world.

Ji Ran lightly stepped and approached Su Mei quietly. Seeing that Su Mei drew seriously, she couldn't bear to be disturbed, and only quietly accompanied her behind her.

Ji Ran didn't know how long he watched, from the white paper with only a layer of light blue background to the emerald green lotus leaf, the pink petals jumped out on the paper, it didn't seem long, and it seemed like a long time, just When the eyes are closed, the painting paper is full of flowers and green mountains.

When Su Mei was painting, she was completely focused. Except for the scene in front of her, there was nothing that could easily distract her, so when Ji Ran approached quietly, she didn't notice it.

Putting down the watercolor pen, Su Mei carefully looked at the finished painting, and suddenly felt a shadow cast in front of her. She turned around subconsciously, and saw Ji Ran standing behind her with a smile on her face.

Ji Ran saw the surprise in Su Mei's eyes, she raised her hand and pinned the tangled hair behind her ear, and smiled gently at Su Mei, "Su Mei, we meet again."

After a short period of surprise, Su Mei also looked at Ji Ran with a smile, with her unique aura between her brows, "I never thought I could meet you here, Ji Ran."

Su Mei's voice was very nice, like a trickle, with a refreshing sweetness, especially the last "Ji Ran", which was soft and low, sweet and mellow, and Ji Ran couldn't help but feel a thin tinge in his ears. pink.

"I came here to visit relatives, and it was a bit boring to stay with too many people, so I came out to breathe." The restlessness in Ji Ran's heart caused by the noise in the house gradually disappeared because of the people in front of him.

"The family is together, isn't it?" Su Mei lightly twisted her hair and lowered her eyes slightly. She grew up with her grandmother and has no other relatives. She has never experienced what it's like to have a big family together, never before and never will.

"It's not very good." Ji Ran shook his head gently and sighed, "There are a lot of people, and there are always people who like to judge you based on that blood relationship that is almost equal to nothing, and they say bad things, but they are all for the sake of it. Your appearance is not as good as the kindness shown by a stranger to you."

"People who are close to you are more likely to hurt people." Su Mei's eyes were silently condensed with a thin layer of frost, and then she said like a small talk, "Did someone say something that made you unhappy?"

"It's nothing, it's just a cliché, it's nothing more than what to get married earlier

give birth

some type of. Ji Ran reluctantly twitched the corners of her lips, her temples suddenly ached when she thought of the dark people surrounding her in that room, you cared for her life-long affairs every word and every word.

Su Mei was stunned for a moment, so she was bothering about this, she thought who said something hurtful. However, thinking of Xu Sheng's urging and the others, Su Mei also felt a little bit of sympathy.

"It seems that you were also urged." Ji Ran raised his eyebrows when he noticed Su Mei's expression.

"This is probably the fate that every single person can't escape." Su Mei chuckled and shook her head, feeling helpless about her care for those friends.

"Are you single?" Ji Ran was surprised, and because he was too surprised, he ignored the joy in his heart.

Su Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Ran with a half-smile, "Why, can't I be single, aren't you?"

"I'm not the same as you." Ji Ran said.

Su Mei smiled and said, "What's different?"

"You're so good-looking, there must be a lot of people chasing you." Ji Ran blinked and made a big circle at Su Mei, "There must be more than this."

Su Mei smiled and squinted at Ji Ran, she was indescribably flirtatious, "Will I like them if they chase me? Will you agree if someone chases you?"

"If the person chasing me is you, I'll consider it." Ji Ran suddenly smiled at Su Mei, his eyes full of urgency.

"I still have to think about it, then I won't chase it anymore." Su Mei spread her hands to Ji Ran and gave up very easily.

Ji Ran nodded solemnly to Su Mei, "Well, I seem to know why you are single."

Su Mei also said to Ji Ran with a serious expression: "Well, I also seem to know why you are single."

"You are too persistent!"

"You are too picky!"

The two made a sound at the same time, then looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly, the cry of a child came from not far away, and the two of them looked around, only to see a girl crying tragically, her tears falling like beads without money, while the other girl was sitting on the ground, being surrounded by five or six. surrounded by boys, one of them grabbed her collar, the two seemed to be arguing about something, the boy suddenly spat the girl, the girl turned her face away in silence, raised one arm and wiped the dirty face .

Su Mei frowned, but when she was about to stop it, she saw that Ji Ran had already yelled at him and ran over.

"What's the matter?" Ji Ran frowned and separated the two children who were pulling together. The girl on the ground was covered in dust, her arms and face were bruised, and there was even a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth. On the other hand, the crying girl on the other side was completely clean, but there was a little dust on her butt.

The girl on the ground was silent and didn't answer. Instead, the boy said confidently, "She pushed Cui'er to the ground first and made her cry. I'm helping Cui'er teach her a lesson."

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl on the ground raised her eyes and glanced at him. At that moment, the cruelty in her eyes made even Ji Ran feel a little startled when she saw it, and the boy who was directly pierced by his gaze took a step back unconsciously.

Su Mei looked at the child on the ground, her fingertips trembled slightly, and her ears roared, making her a little unclear about where she was and where she was. She seemed to see the isolated and helpless self at the time, and silence may be her last stubbornness.

"Why did she push you, and what did you do to her?" Ji Ran looked at Cui'er coldly. Since the cause was her, she should tell her.

Cui'er looked at Ji Ran, who had no expression on her face, and suddenly burst into tears, "She's a wild breed that no one wants, and I didn't say anything wrong!"

Su Mei trembled and looked at the girl on the ground subconsciously, only to see the girl biting her lips tightly, blood oozing between her lips and teeth, but she still didn't make a sound, only a fierce light burst out from her eyes.

"Shut up!" Ji Ran shouted angrily, she stared at the group of children with an ugly face, "Is that how your parents taught you to be human? People can't choose their own background, you can just bully you if you live a happy life. Those children from unfortunate families? You have such great malice at such a young age, do you really think that you are not responsible for your own words and deeds when you are young and ignorant?"

How many children have never heard of such a big truth, Ji Ran's face flushed, all of them were silent, and some even had tears in their eyes. At this moment, Cui Er bit her lips, tears rolling in her eyes, but she seemed to be holding back, stubbornly not letting it fall.

Ji Ran ignored them. She squatted down and gently hugged the girl on the ground into her arms. The girl resisted and struggled at first, but when Ji Ran stroked the ends of her hair, the girl suddenly clenched her tightly. Holding her shirt, her thin body trembled slightly and leaned into Ji Ran's arms.

Su Mei watched as the girl bit her lip in Ji Ran's arms and shed tears silently, watched Ji Ran gently and carefully patted her back, and gradually, a thin layer of water mist appeared in her eyes, as if Seeing the distant self through the two of them.

If there was someone who treated me so tenderly at that time, maybe recalling my childhood would give me a little more warmth. It's a pity that she didn't have the luck of this child at the beginning, and she didn't meet such a person to hug her.

Feeling that the girl in her arms stopped crying, Ji Ran took out a tissue and wiped her little face full of tears, she raised her eyes and glanced at the children beside her, and said coldly, "If you let me know who will be in the future? Dare to bully her, your parents don't care, I will help them discipline and discipline, understand?"

The boy refused to accept: "Who do you think you are, why do you care about us!"

Ji Ran sneered, grabbed the boy without saying a word, and slapped the boy twice while he was struggling.

Such an old child, butt pain is a trivial matter, mainly because I feel that I have lost face in front of my friends, I can't help crying, "You dare to beat me, you dare to beat me, I want my dad to come to you for revenge. !"

"You can call your dad here, I'm afraid you won't succeed." Ji Ran raised his eyebrows and glanced at the boy, suddenly dragged him to his face, and said with a cold face, "But if you dare to bully her again, in the future I see you beating you once, but it's not easy for your parents to come!"

The boy was silenced by Ji Ran's intimidation, and the other children were too frightened to look at Ji Ran again.

Ji Ran let go of the boy and pushed him lightly, "Go, go and call your father, I want to see what kind of parents can teach you a child like you." That disdain look was very hurtful Boy's self-esteem.

"Why, do you feel hurting your self-esteem?" Ji Ran stared at the boy, "Then you do something respectable."

"What is something that people can look up to?" The boy gritted his teeth and asked Ji Ran.

"Naturally it is to take the initiative to protect the children who are being bullied, not to become one of the bullies." Ji Ran looked at the boy seriously, as if speaking to him and to all the children, "The real powerful People become stronger and stronger in the process of protecting others again and again. Bullying others will only make themselves bluff and fail. Don't take it for granted to expose other people's scars just because they are children, you think you are just kidding , but the damage you are joking about may take a lifetime to heal."

The children were silent for a long time. The boy pursed his lips and suddenly walked towards the girl. When he stood in front of her, the boy said seriously: "I won't bully you in the future, I'll protect you."

In the face of the boy's kindness, the girl said nothing.

Ji Ran smiled and touched the girl's head, "Before you become strong, it's not shameful to be sheltered by others. In the face of the kindness of others, remember to say thank you."

The girl pursed her lips when she heard it. She looked up at Ji Ran, then at the boy who was looking at her, and finally said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"Get along well in the future." Ji Ran winked and smiled at the children, no longer as cruel as before, "Okay, it's almost time for dinner, let's go home for dinner, otherwise the family should be worried."

The children who were reminded by Ji Ran scattered together. The girl originally followed the boy, but unexpectedly ran back after a few steps.

"What's wrong?" Ji Ran looked at the girl with a smile and said softly.

"Thank you." The girl whispered with flushed cheeks.

"You're welcome." Ji Ran replied gently.

As if gathering courage, the girl looked up at Ji Ran, "Sister, what's your name?"

"It doesn't matter who your elder sister is, what matters is that you have to learn to protect yourself in the future." Ji Ran was still gentle, she took out a few pieces of candy from her pocket and put it in the girl's hand, smiling lightly, "Come on, he's waiting. you."

The girl clenched the candy in her hand, bit her lip and looked at Ji Ran.

Ji Ran also looked at her with a smile, but said nothing.

The girl nodded to Ji Ran, turned and ran towards the boy, and soon the two of them disappeared at the end of the road.

Su Mei, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly asked, "Why didn't you tell her your name?"

"It's just a chance encounter." Ji Ran lowered his eyes, but there was a hint of indifference in his gentle voice, "I still have to rely on her to walk the road in the future. I'm just a passer-by in her life, and there's no need to leave a name."

"Then why are you willing to tell me your name?" Su Mei asked softly, looking at Ji Ran quietly.

Ji Ran looked at the charming peach blossom eyes, a string in her heart seemed to be gently plucked, as if someone had looked at her like this a long time ago, and her eyes were so captivating. But she clearly knew that no such person had ever appeared in her life. This feeling is really inexplicable and impossible to ignore.

Ji Ran sighed: "Su Mei, do you believe in fate?"

Su Mei shook her head quietly.

Ji Ran smiled softly: "I didn't believe in fate before, but now, I always feel that I have a special bond with you." Ji Ran suddenly winked at Su Mei, "Maybe we will meet again in the near future."

Su Mei raised her eyebrows, and a sultry smile appeared on her lips, "Then I'll hold on to expectations and wait for Miss Ji's appearance."

The author has something to say:

If there is fate, we will meet one day.
