Obviously, He Has a Crush on Me - Chapter 45

Lu Ran, who was on the side, turned around, said nothing, took the seasoning packet from Jiang Nuan’s hand, tore it open, then lifted her instant noodles and squeezed it in.

Lu Ran looked like it was no big deal, and Jiang Nuan slowly calmed down.

Jiang Nuan and Rao Can are considered good hands and brains among girls, but Doudou is a pig teammate. Although Lu Ran didn’t say a word from beginning to end, Jiang Nuan could imagine how much Lu Ran was about to A heart-wrenching mood.

After playing for more than an hour, I only heard a few boys shouting not far away: “Director Zhang is here – run!”

Jiang Nuan and the others didn’t react when they were wearing the headsets, but Cheng Doudou keenly caught the important news, and quickly took off the headsets, and saw the boys rushed out of the Internet cafe like frightened birds.

Cheng Doudou immediately grabbed Rao Can and Jiang Nuan: “Hurry up! Director Zhang is here!”

“Director Zhang? This place is far from the school! How could Director Zhang come!” Rao Can asked.

But I did see those few boys who fled, and the situation was not a second.

“Never mind! Let’s run away!” Jiang Nuan took off Lu Ran’s headset and pulled up his wrist, “Let’s talk!”

Lu Ran was dragged up by her, and they rushed out of the Internet cafe and ran like crazy.

While running, Cheng Doudou wanted to look back to see how the situation was.

“You’re still looking back! I’m afraid Director Zhang won’t recognize your face!” Jiang Nuan grabbed her.

But Lu Ran stopped.

It should be said that at Lu Ran’s speed, he dragged Jiang Nuan to run, but he seemed to have been running without “trying hard”.

“What are you running for?” Lu Ran asked back.

“What are we running for? Didn’t you hear? Director Zhang is here! How fast are those buddies running!” Jiang Nuan pressed her head helplessly, thinking that Lu Ran really didn’t have enough experience in Internet cafes.

“But the ‘brothers’ you mentioned were wearing school uniforms from the Sixteenth Middle School.”

As soon as Lu Ran finished speaking, Jiang Nuan, Cheng Doudou, and Rao Can all fell silent.

There was an angry voice behind them, and it was estimated that the “brothers” still did not escape the claws and were caught.

Cheng Doudou turned around, this time, no one stopped her from turning around.

I saw the boys in green school uniforms shrank their necks, like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, being reprimanded loudly by a man with a bald beer belly.

He… It is estimated that he is the so-called “Director Zhang”, or even “Director Zhang”…

“When you don’t treat yourself as a thief, you won’t feel guilty of being a thief.” Lu Ran said, and walked back with his pockets in his pocket.

Jiang Nuan and the three quickly followed.

Cheng Doudou covered his face and kept saying “It’s a shame in front of a male god”.

Although a few of them suddenly left, they were caught by the other party and “did their hard work”, but under Lu Ran’s efforts to turn the tide, they were not too miserable when they left the Internet cafe.

They had a great time playing this time, but they also understood the reasoning that they should close when they see it, otherwise they would go home too late, and there would be no chance to come out and play in the future.

On their way home, they were still immersed in the excitement of the game.

Cheng Doudou couldn’t help but ask, “Lu Ran, I always think you are the kind of person who has a lot of self-control and doesn’t have much entertainment in life. I didn’t expect you to play the game so well!”

Hearing this, Jiang Nuan felt inexplicably proud.

Because without her, everyone in the world, including their teachers and classmates, and their parents, would think that Lu Ran was a person who only studied and fencing.

But it’s not.

He is the same as them.

“In my life, entertainment is very rich.” Lu Ran replied.

Jiang Nuan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it. This guy is very entertaining, how could she not know?

She pushed Lu Ran with her elbow: “What do you usually entertain? Don’t tell me what math Olympiad and communication engineering papers are considered entertainment!”

“You.” Lu Ran continued to walk forward with his pockets in his pockets.

“what?”

On the other hand, Rao Can, who was next to him, reacted and replied with a smile: “Lu Ran means – you are the greatest entertainment in his life!”

Jiang Nuan was angry and was about to kick Lu Ran, but who knew that Lu Ran had already walked out of her attack distance with the advantage of his long legs.

At this time, Cheng Doudou said, “Ah, it’s Parkson Department Store.”

“No? You’re not going home now, do you want to go shopping?”

“No… Do you remember? We used to play in the small playground under this mall when we were kids.”

“Is that the playground where a dollar is a coin?”

“Yes. I heard that it will be removed, the supermarket will be expanded, and the game items in it will be relatively old.”

Whether it is Cheng Doudou or Jiang Nuan and Rao Can, they are all nostalgic people.

Jiang Nuan turned to look at Lu Ran, just about to say something, but Lu Ran had already said, “Then let’s go in and have a look.”

Jiang Nuan immediately became happy, and pulled Rao Can and the others to the negative first floor of the mall together.

The music in the playground was a bit awkward. It was playing “Bright and the Big Big Wolf”, and some adults were taking their children there to play some small games such as smashing cockroaches and shooting basketballs.

When Jiang Nuan and the others went to buy coins, the coin seller also told them that they would run out of game coins today, because the place would not be open for business tomorrow.

While Jiang Nuan and the others were discussing how much to buy, Lu Ran gave the other party one hundred yuan.

“Buy them all?”

“all.”

Jiang Nuan was dumbfounded, and quickly grabbed him and said, “I know you have more pocket money than us, but…”

“We have four people, and each of us will definitely be able to use up twenty-five coins. Also, you want to keep a few for souvenirs.”

Jiang Nuan nodded.

She always felt that a “pragmatic” person like Lu Ran should not understand girls’ obsession with “remembrance”.

Although he can’t understand it, he will respect it.

They played the game of shooting first. Rao Can and Cheng Doudou were both types with less developed motor nerves. On the contrary, Jiang Nuan made a shot and knew if there were any.

“Lu Ran, do you want to try it?” Jiang Nuan turned to ask the boy who looked at them lightly with his pockets in his pockets.

“You play.”

Jiang Nuan was a little regretful, but these games might not really attract Lu Ran.

During the electronic shooting, three girls were wiped out.

Jiang Nuan held the electron gun and watched for a long time, thinking that it was not her eyes that had a problem, “I always feel that there is an error in aiming!”

Lu Ran, who had never spoken, finally took it from Jiang Nuan’s hand, “I’ll give it a try.”

“Yeah!”

The three girls all gathered behind Lu Ran, but Lu Ran missed the first two shots.

“Sure enough, even Lu Ran can’t do it?”

But Lu Ran just turned his face sideways, and the third shot hit the target.

Jiang Nuan was stunned for a while, then patted Lu Ran from behind: “Okay! Brother!”

“You touched the boy’s waist casually?” Lu Ran glanced at Jiang Nuan.

“…”

Rao Can and Cheng Doudou were both happy.

Lu Ran’s fourth shot was more accurate. By the tenth round, it hit the bullseye.

Both Rao Can and Cheng Doudou applauded.

At the end of the game, there were more than 20 coins left.

“Let’s go clip the doll!” Cheng Doudou suggested.

Jiang Nuan wrinkled his nose: “Isn’t clipping the doll just to give money to the playground? Anyway, it must have been calculated so that we won’t clip it!”

Rao Can smiled: “Then maybe it will be different with Lu Ran around? Didn’t we still fail to hit the target before? But Lu Ran did it?”

“Yes! We haven’t caught it since we were young. Even my parents couldn’t do it! If Lu Ran can get caught, it’s like a perfect ending!”

So they gathered around the doll machine again.

Lu Ran lowered his head, looked at the pile of pink pigs inside, frowned slightly, and asked, “What is this?”

“Peppa Pig! Don’t you know?” Cheng Doudou said.

Lu Ran didn’t speak, Jiang Nuan touched the back of his head: “I thought this was a pig, but I didn’t expect this pig to have a name?”

Lu Ran held the joystick in his hand, and the girls around him were waiting in full force.

Jiang Nuan smiled: “Hahaha, you really live up to expectations!”

Rao Can said, “Lu Ran is an experience-accumulating type. When he gets the hang of this machine, he will definitely be able to catch it.”

“Okay! We still have a lot of coins for him to accumulate experience, hahaha!”

Lu Ran glanced at Jiang Nuan and said only: “It seems that my failure is particularly easy to please you.”

“That’s right.” Jiang Nuan spread his hands out in disbelief.

Lu Ran failed three times in a row. Rao Can and Cheng Doudou on the side were so nervous that Jiang Nuan was not looking at the pile of Peppa pigs, but Lu Ran’s profile.

That was his serious expression in addition to studying and fencing.

She suddenly realized that for her, this playground left her the best, not because it was about to disappear.

But before it disappeared, Lu Ran accompanied her here.

After a few more times, Lu Ran pulled up the sleeves of his school uniform, revealing the line of his sturdy forearm.

Lu Ran may not have noticed, but Rao Can admired it, while Cheng Doudou couldn’t hide his nympho’s expression, looking at his forearm.

After three or four attempts, Lu Ran still failed.

“There must be something wrong with this machine,” Rao Can said.

“The playground is too stingy. It will end tomorrow, so it’s not too generous today.” Cheng Doudou complained.

Lu Ran was about to put the game coins in his pocket again. Jiang Nuan suddenly remembered that during the Chinese New Year, Lu Ran’s mother talked about his obsession with model competitions in junior high school.

She stretched out her hand and clasped Lu Ran’s wrist, “In fact, it’s good to never be able to clip, so whenever we pass by here, we will remember how powerful the doll machine here is. Don’t put all the coins for one doll machine. It’s all used up.”

Lu Ran looked at Jiang Nuan and nodded.

Jiang Nuan smiled and pointed to the camera that took the photo stickers: “Let’s go take pictures, shall we? There are not many photo cameras left in this city! If we dismantle them here, maybe we will all take pictures in the future. No more headshots!”

“That’s right! I really haven’t seen a place to take a headshot anymore!” Cheng Doudou agreed immediately.

“And the photos here have a beauty effect, unlike my mother, who took the responsibility of destroying my image.” Jiang Nuan spread her hands.

Rao Can immediately laughed: “I really can’t agree more!”

So a few girls squeezed into the photo booth again.

“Lu Ran, aren’t you coming in?” Jiang Nuan asked.

Lu Ran shook his head slightly: “No, take a photo of the three of you girls.”

But Jiang Nuan stretched out his arms and dragged him inside.

“You are now a ‘girlfriend’!”

Rao Can and Cheng Doudou, who were posing, did not smile vividly.

Jiang Nuan seized the opportunity and pressed the button.

“Don’t! It’s too ugly! Delete it!”

“Don’t delete it. Maybe it’s the last photoshoot in your life, and it’s so boring that you guys have to be so hypocritical in concave shapes!”

Jiang Nuan just wouldn’t let them delete it.

“Forget it, for the last time, I won’t care about you. In the dark corner of your heart, you must really want to cherish my ugly appearance for a lifetime.”

“But Lu Ran, it’s really different from our style of painting!”

As soon as Cheng Doudou said it, Jiang Nuan felt that Lu Ran’s expressionless but handsome appearance was in stark contrast to their open-mouthed smile.

“This one is good! Please keep it!”

When they came out, Cheng Doudou and Rao Can were both looking at the photos and choosing the ones they liked to keep.

“Lu Ran, you’ve left evidence that you’re fooling around with us.” Rao Can turned his head and said.

This sentence suddenly reminded Jiang Nuan.

She also had to leave some evidence that Lu Ran came to the playground.

With the last game coin left in her pocket, she tugged at Lu Ran.

“Let’s go, the two of us will also take a photo.”

She originally thought that Lu Ran would stand there still, or say something against her, but Lu Ran nodded and said, “Okay.”

They went in again, and there was no one else but the two of them.

In the small space, the aura belonging to Lu Ran became clear.

He was by her side, and they all wore rustic school uniforms without any extra decoration.

My mind calmed down, and the rest became meticulously wanting to feel the expectations of the other party.

“Lu Ran, did you take a photo before today?” Jiang Nuan asked.

“No.”

Jiang Nuan pursed his lips and suddenly had a lot to say to him.

“I’m very happy today, and thank you very much for helping me get the best grades in my life so far. So, I thought the headshots I took with you today were a little bit special.”

“What’s so special?”

“That’s it… I know you’re someone who keeps your promises, so can you stop taking mug shots with others after today?”

Although Jiang Nuan knew that even if he didn’t say it, the mugshot was outdated. When this place was demolished, Lu Ran probably wouldn’t be able to take mugshots with others anymore.

But what he promised her, and he didn’t have the chance to shoot again, are two different things.

“I’m the only one who keeps my promise, don’t you think it’s unfair?” Lu Ran asked indifferently.

“Ah…then what do you think?”

“You won’t be able to take headshots with others in the future.”

“What? Not even Rao Can and Doudou?”

“They don’t count.”

“Then I can promise you.” Jiang Nuan stretched out his thumb.

Lu Ran’s hand reached out and pressed it on her thumb.

“make a deal.”

They turned around and looked at themselves in the machine.

Lu Ran just stood there, of course he was perfect no matter what, but Jiang Nuan thought about all kinds of funny poses and wanted Lu Ran to laugh, but Lu Ran’s expression didn’t change.

“Hey, don’t be so uncooperative!”

“Why do you have to be ugly, to make yourself special?”

Jiang Nuan was speechless.

At this time, Rao Can’s voice came from outside.

“Can you two hurry up! You won’t do anything ‘indescribable’ in it, will you?”

Jiang Nuan quickly stood up straight, and before she could laugh, Lu Ran pressed it down.

“Hey! Slow down!”

Just when Jiang Nuan looked at him and shouted in dissatisfaction, Lu Ran pressed his hand down again.

“You didn’t pose in any way!”

Jiang Nuan was about to stop him, but who knew that Lu Ran’s hand directly pressed her forehead and brought her back. She waved his hand away in dissatisfaction, but her eyes and nose were wrinkled together, and Lu Ran was caught by Lu Ran again. Then it was filmed.

“Ah! It’s dead!”

“There is one last picture, take a good picture.”

When Lu Ran said this, Jiang Nuan stopped making trouble.

She thought about it for a long time, because Lu Ran was by her side, and she didn’t seem to have any poses to pose.

“The simplest, isn’t it the best?”

“what?”

Lu Ran’s hand reached out, pressed it lightly on Jiang Nuan’s head, and leaned her against his shoulder.

At that moment, Jiang Nuan’s heart was about to burst out.

It was only a short second, he asked her to lean towards him, he asked her to approach him, his lips slowly curled up, and there was a faint smile in his eyes that made Jiang Nuan’s heart soften.

His hand left and pressed the button.

The sound of “click” did not freeze the time, but poked it in her heart.

“Why does this one look like this…” Jiang Nuan tilted her head, but didn’t say it.

“Like the photo on the marriage certificate.” Lu Ran said bluntly.

“Oh my god, if I look ugly, I’d be embarrassed to put it on the bookshelf. But if I’m so serious, if my mother sees it, she will definitely ask me what’s the matter with you!” Like the ground, the heart beats fast.

Lu Ran, how would you answer me?

Is it to run on me, or to clear it?

Will you give me a little, even a little hint that you care about me?

“Then tell your mother that we are upright childhood sweethearts.”

Jiang Nuan looked at Lu Ran stupidly.

Lu Ran must have known that “childhood sweethearts” are not just boys and girls who grew up together.

“Childhood sweethearts” have the simplest and purest expectations and possibilities.

“Okay, let’s print it.” Lu Ran said.

“Well, print it!”

But to their surprise, the photo did not come out and was stuck inside.

The machine displays a print failure.

“Ah! No way! Why is this!”

Jiang Nuan squatted down and stood upside down for a long time, hoping that photo would come out.

She could faintly see that the photo was there, but she couldn’t hold her at all.

“I’m going to find the staff.”

But the staff told them that someone would come to repair it tomorrow, but in fact all the machines here will be removed tomorrow, and they will not come to repair at all.

Jiang Nuan didn’t know what to say, she wanted to cry, but she had to hold back the tears that were about to fall.

“Ah? It’s such a pity! Can you think of a way!” Rao Can negotiated with the staff for a long time, but the business here is going to be closed, how could it be possible to find someone to repair the machine and waste the maintenance cost?

And the staff just compensated them for a few game coins and let them play other games.

Jiang Nuan clenched the game coins in his hand tightly.

“Forget it, let’s go home. It’s so late, there’s still homework to do, right?” Jiang Nuan said.

“That’s right, let’s go back. And don’t we still have a group photo of the four of us? One for each!”

They left here and got on the bus.

There are very few people on the bus at this time.

Jiang Nuan was sitting by the window, and Lu Ran was sitting beside her. They were as silent and silent as every time they took the bus. The bus was swaying until Rao Can and Doudou got off the bus.

“Hey, Lu Ran, have you ever thought about it…”

“What did you think about?” Lu Ran asked.

“It’s just that many of the things we like very much will disappear, such as photo stickers…will be replaced by lomo cameras or various beauty cameras. For example, the games we like will be replaced by new games. For example…it was booming in elementary school The bookstores will also gradually decline and disappear… It seems that it is not because I voluntarily dislike them, but time makes them disappear, and I don’t remember that I liked them.”

After saying these words, Jiang Nuan felt like a big fool.

What’s the matter with Lu Ran?

“But I’ll remember that I promised you that you wouldn’t take selfies with anyone again, and you promised me the same.”

Jiang Nuan turned her face sideways, her eyes were red, she couldn’t help laughing, but she was embarrassed to be seen by Lu Ran.

In my heart, it was as if countless wings were vibrating, overflowing as if they were about to fly out.

Walking into the elevator, Jiang Nuan clapped his hands and suddenly remembered something.

“Ah! That’s right! The wish I wrote in the colorful bottle has been fulfilled! I’m going to the temple to repay the wish on the weekend!”

“It’s not done yet.”

“You don’t know what I wished!”

“Isn’t it because I’m afraid I won’t get into the top three in the grade?”

“Ah? How do you know?”

“You’ve been worried about this for a long time.”
