Chapter 42

A few people talked and laughed after dinner. Father Ji had the habit of walking around. After greeting everyone, he went out for a walk alone. Su Mei wanted to clean up the dining table with Ji Ran, but was pulled by the enthusiastic mother Ji into the living room to chat and watch TV, leaving Ji Ran alone to work.

Although she was working, Ji Ran had a sweet smile on her lips. It could be seen that Ji's mother liked Su Mei very much, and she looked at Su Mei with light in her eyes. Oh, she knew that she was just like herself. Yan Gou couldn't resist Su Mei's prosperous beauty at all. Especially in order to leave a good impression on them, Su Mei's dress is very well-behaved and sensible, and her mouth is like smearing honey, so she coaxed Mother Ji into a set, and the smile almost went to the back of her ears. .

Ji Ran, who had finally finished working in the kitchen for a long time, came out with a plate of fruit platters. As soon as they approached them, they heard Ji's mother saying, "Xiao Su, you should come to play often in the future! Don't look at it. Ji Ran's temperament is so gentle, but she is actually cold in her bones, and her father and I have been worried since childhood that if something happens to this child in the future, we won't be able to find anyone to help."

As she spoke, Ji's mother sighed: "In high school, I finally brought a friend home, but after college, I didn't see them anymore. It's okay, I met you, you child just looked at you. She is more stable and sensible than her, so I will take care of her more in the future."

Ji Ran's scalp was numb when she heard Ji's mother say that she brought her friends home from high school. Can this be over? You are really my mother, God pit.

Su Mei saw Ji Ran with a somewhat unnatural expression, and knew that she had heard Ji's mother's words, her face remained calm, she smiled and said to Ji's mother: "Auntie, in fact, Ji Ran has many friends, I only know three of them. , it's not that she lost contact with the high school friend you mentioned, this time we are going to climb the mountain, and she is also there."

After speaking, Su Mei looked at Ji Ran with a half-smile, and Ji's mother followed Su Mei's gaze and looked back.

Ji Mu: "Yo, when did you become so sensible and know how to make a fruit platter?"

"Hey, Mom, it must be very hard to be busy with such a large table. Eat some fruit and take a break. You can try this mango, it's so sweet!" As soon as Ji Ran sat down to taste it, Ji Ran used it first. A toothpick inserted a piece of mango and brought it to Su Mei's mouth, flatteringly said, "Su Mei, you can try it too."

Su Mei looked at Ji Ran's funny appearance, and most of her unhappiness dissipated. Just as she was about to open her mouth to eat it, she heard Ji's mother say, "This mango is so sweet. In the past, Qingqing's child liked mangoes the most."

With just those words, Su Mei's lips were tightly pursed, her face gradually condensed, but thinking that Mother Ji was still on the side, she could not help leaning back, bowing her head slightly, her drooping hair covering her cheeks, and said softly: " Eat it, I'm allergic to mango."

Seeing Su Mei's resistance, Ji Ran almost jumped in anger.

Mom, you want me to break up as soon as I fall in love, right? Why don't you mention which one is not open? I haven't seen you care so much about Yan Qing before? Co-author I now have someone I like, do you have to remind me in front of her how much I liked someone before?

Ji Ran leaned forward, blocking most of Su Mei's body, and his hand quietly went over to hold Su Mei's hand. Su Mei was making some money at first, but she was afraid that Ji's mother would find out that something was wrong, so Ji Ran held her back. .

Feeling that Su Mei was no longer struggling, Ji Ran's heart settled down. She put the mango in her hand back on the fruit bowl, and pouted, "I don't like mangoes either." Then she said to Ji's mother sternly, "Mom, My relationship with Yan Qing is not that good, so don't keep mentioning her."

Ji's mother was a little puzzled and asked aloud, "Why can't you mention her? Xiao Su said just now that you are going to climb the mountain together."

"That's when we happened to meet, not an appointment to go together." Ji Ran thought for a while and said, "Don't you know, we didn't contact each other very early, and we didn't have a deep friendship."

What does this have to do with not being able to mention her? Although Mother Ji was still puzzled, she subconsciously felt that after Ji Ran said not to mention her, she felt that it was better not to mention her: "Oh, so that's the case, Xiao Su, you are allergic to mangoes, and what about watermelon, hurry up Try this watermelon, it's sweet too."

Mother Ji naturally turned the topic to Su Mei and greeted her with a smile. What does she like about Su Mei? She has a pretty face, sweet mouth, and politeness. All the friends around Ji Ran should be like her. This can be reassuring.

Su Mei saw how Ji Ran was talking to Ji's mother so seriously just now because she didn't want to make herself unhappy, and the displeasure in her heart disappeared long ago. She hid their holding hands behind Ji Ran's back, got up and inserted a piece of watermelon with a toothpick. , sent it to Ji Ran: "Auntie, I have been busy for so long and I haven't eaten yet. Hey, do you like watermelon?"

Ji Ran was flattered, and hurriedly opened his mouth to hold the watermelon, and smiled while eating: "I like it, my favorite fruit is watermelon."

Ji's mother watched the interaction between the two children and was very happy. The relationship between the two was really good. Even when Yan Qing came here before, she never saw Ji Ran smile so happily.

The three had another conversation. It was getting late, and Ji's father also came back. Ji's mother told Ji Ran that the guest room had been tidied up, but Ji Ran said that there was no need to be so troublesome. it is good. Mother Ji didn't think much, yawned and went back to the house with Father Ji to rest. Ji Ran led Su Mei to wash up and returned to his bedroom.

Ji Ran's bedroom is similar to her own home, mainly in cool colors, and there are not many things. Among the many books standing up, Su Mei saw a photo album and stared at it. She asked softly, "Can you? see?"

Following Su Mei's gaze, Ji Ran smiled and said, "You can see my things, you can see whatever you want."

Ji Ran took down the photo album and handed it to Su Mei: "You look at it first, I'll get you pajamas."

Su Mei: "Okay."

When opened the album, saw a tightly wrinkled baby wrapped, with a few strands of yellow hair clinging to the scalp, mouth wide open, tears streaming down his face, and it looked like he had just been born.

Turning a page, what they saw was the young mother Ji holding the baby, and the father Ji standing behind her slightly bent over. , grinning, a family of three looking happy.

Turning another page, what saw was a half-year-old girl, wearing a little emperor's clothes, holding a small sword, and looking majestic in front of the camera.

Su Mei's fingers rubbed against the girl's face, and she couldn't help laughing when she saw her expression.

Ji Ran, who came with pajamas, came over and saw this photo, and couldn't help but frown: "Haha, when I was a child, I really liked Huanzhugege, and after pestering my parents for a long time, they took me to rent this dress to take pictures. "

"Your parents love you very much." Su Mei raised her eyes to look at Ji Ran. From the photo, you can see what a happy family of three they are. She murmured, "You are very happy."

But because of themselves, they may lose this smile...

Thinking of this, Su Mei's eyes were dense, she looked at Ji Ran and then at the photo in her hand, and when she spoke again, she said with a feeling of depression and sadness she didn't know: "Ji Ran..."

Just calling out her name, the heartache is difficult to maintain, what should say to her, what can say to her?

Ji Ran seemed to know her hesitation, so he reached out and hugged her into his arms, hugging her tightly: "Su Mei, we will be very happy too."

"Don't be afraid, they will accept you and love you like they love me." Ji Ran kissed Su Mei's forehead, his eyes were serious and determined, "Trust me, Su Mei."

"Yeah." Su Mei replied softly, her heart calmed down.

This person can always accurately find his unease, and can always comfort himself very well, as if as long as she is there, any difficulties and obstacles can be easily solved.

After meeting her, he finally found a place to return.

The two hugged each other for a while, Ji Ran stroked Su Mei's hair, handed her the pajamas, and motioned her to change it.

Holding the pajamas, Su Mei blushed. She looked at Ji Ran and didn't move, but Ji Ran seemed to have just reacted and went to the bathroom with her pajamas.

It's not like they didn't change pajamas in front of each other when they slept together before, so why are they embarrassed now that they have confirmed their relationship?

After Ji Ran changed into her pajamas and returned, Su Mei was already lying on the bed in her pajamas. Seeing Su Mei lying on the bed with a graceful figure, Ji Ran swallowed her saliva and secretly felt that she still has a long way to go.

Ji Ran lifted the quilt and was hugged by Su Mei as soon as she lay in. Her face was buried in Ji Ran's arms, and her voice was muffled: "Ji Ran, Yan Qing also likes you."

Oops, didn't expect Su Mei to care so much about Yan Qing, this problem must be solved properly, and she can't let her affect the relationship between the two.

Ji Ran's heart alarmed, she wrapped around Su Mei's waist and corrected herself seriously: "No, I don't like her anymore. Su Mei, I only like you."

After a pause, Ji Ran continued: "Su Mei, I am a person who can only look forward. My present and future are yours alone, and have nothing to do with her. If it is not necessary in the future, I will not I will see her again, and even if I meet her, you will definitely be there, okay?"

"Ji Ran, it's not that I don't believe you." After hearing Ji Ran's words, Su Mei raised her head and looked at Ji Ran, her face blushed and a little embarrassed, "I'm just jealous..."

"I know." Ji Ran smiled and looked at Su Mei, her eyes sparkling, "Little vinegar is happy, but big vinegar hurts my body, I will definitely respect myself and not make Miss Su sad."

Su Mei rolled her eyes at Ji Ran and snorted softly, "Not serious."

Although she said disgusting words, Su Mei's heart was sweetly panicked. She rested her head lightly on Ji Ran's shoulder, as if as long as she was there, she would be able to give herself infinite courage.

Ji Ran embraced her and gently caressed her back with his hand, as if to remove her deep unease and worry.

The two were relatively speechless. In this quiet atmosphere, Su Mei recalled her past and finally summoned up her courage and said in a flat tone: "Ji Ran, I am different from you, I am a person who was not expected from birth. Children, my parents divorced when I was a child, and no one wanted me, I followed my grandmother, and later in high school, she also passed away."

"Ji Ran, a person who doesn't even love her biological parents doesn't deserve to expect the love of others." Su Mei said this, her eyes were full of silence. They fought so fiercely, but no one wanted her.

"No, Su Mei." Ji Ran looked at the woman in his arms distressedly. Her mindless eyes deeply stabbed Ji Ran's heart. The original family is extremely important to a person's life, but if it is not Good influence, then she will work hard to heal her pain with the rest of her life, "Your grandmother turned into a star to guard you in the night sky. She used to love you all the time, but now, you have me."

"But Ji Ran, as you said, some people are born with original sin." Su Mei raised her eyes and looked at Ji Ran's eyes, her eyes were full of pain and reluctance, "Ji Ran, I don't want to lie to you, my Parents, both are unfaithful to marriage, and I have their blood flowing, maybe I am also an unfaithful person, are you really willing to be with me?"

Ji Ran looked at Su Mei's red eyes and felt pity in her heart. She didn't expect that her unintentional words would bring such deep pain to Su Mei.

She hugged Su Mei tightly and kissed her forehead gently: "I was wrong, Su Mei, forgive me for the bastard words I said before."

"Su Mei, you are not guilty, you are not them, you should not bear the guilt they committed."

"Su Mei, don't be afraid, I won't leave you like them, I'll always be by your side."

Ji Ran's eyes looked into Su Mei's, and her eyes were full of sea-like affection: "Su Mei, I love you."

As if making a promise, Ji Ran said solemnly, "The rest of my life is all about you, just you, and only you."

Tears slowly fell in Su Mei's eyes, but a happy smile appeared on her face.
