87. Private Engagement (1)
"Who are you?!Why do you know me?What are you looking for me?"
Seeing that the little girl was about to run to her, Gao Ran took a big step back with a vigilant face, deliberately pulling a long distance from her.
And the girl was also clever, and when she saw Gao Ran acting like this, she immediately stopped moving, stopped stepping forward, and kept a distance of about three steps from her as she wished.
In addition, the girl didn't feel embarrassed by Gao Ran's direct question, but took a few deep breaths slowly, and after her breathing finally became smooth, she replied with a light smile, "Second Miss High School, I'm Miss An Jiasan, An Yujie." I'm sorry that it was rude for me to meet for the first time in such an abrupt way. I hope you can bear with me a lot, and don't care......"
As she spoke, An Yujie politely bowed slightly to Gao Ran and arched her hand to apologize.
"Miss Ansan?!"
To be honest, although Gao Ran had thought about how she and An Yujie would officially meet before, she never thought that it would be the way she met now!
This is also too unexpected!
Moreover, An Yujie's attitude towards her at the moment was the same as the obvious hostility towards her that day in the academy that day...... This contrast is too big, isn't it?!
"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!"
Gao Ran instantly realized that with this An Yujie's scheming, she would take the initiative to come to her so suddenly, and in this way......
The only explanation Gao Ran could think of, and which she thought was more reasonable, was that the scene where she and An Lu were talking in Anfu before must have been seen by An Yujie in the dark! Moreover, she must have started to play her mind because of this! Moreover, this idea must not have been known to the An family! Otherwise, she would not have "secretly" run out to find her alone immediately after she had just left Anfu!
Although the three of them were in a bustling street market at the moment, An Yujie chased after her alone and did not bring any entourage...... In this regard, Gao Ran can only understand that she was "secretly" chasing after her - at least, she did this, most likely because she didn't want to be discovered by the An family, so she didn't bring an entourage and chose to act alone.
"It's okay! Anyway, sooner or later, I'm going to have to 'compete' with her! It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, since she took the initiative to come to the door, then I want to see what kind of idea she has in mind?!"
Thinking like this, the vigilance in Gao Ran's eyes gradually subsided. Instead, it was the same absolutely "official" kind gaze as An Yujie looked at her at the moment.
Gao Ran took the initiative to take two big steps closer to An Yujie, shortening the original distance between them to a normal distance suitable for the two to talk face-to-face—not intimate, but not estranged either.
"It turned out to be Miss An San! I was fortunate to meet you! Just now in Anfu, I heard Mr. An praise you! Now when I see it, it is really true to her words! I can see that Miss An San is indeed a smart and clever girl! It really makes me envious......
"Hehe, don't make fun of Yu'er, Miss Sophomore! In front of Miss Sophomore, how dare Yu'er boast of being smart......"
After speaking, An Yujie was afraid that what she said just now would make Gao Ran mistakenly think that she didn't want to accept her affection, so she hurriedly explained, "Miss Senior High, I can't hide it, in fact, I have already heard the conversation between you and Grandma Lu just now, I have heard it in the dark room next to the living room...... Yu'er admires the courage and intelligence of the sophomore lady very much, and wants to get acquainted with you......! Don't tell Grandma Lu that I've overheard your conversation! Otherwise, I'll have to be disciplined again......"
Saying that, An Yujie also winked at Gao Ran a little playfully, and her mouth deliberately pursed slightly, lining her childish pink little face very cute-no matter how stupid Gao Ran was, she could see that she was clearly showing favor to her.
It's just that Gao Ran really can't stand her way of showing favor like this-especially after she has seen An Yujie's true attitude towards her in private......
Gao Ran couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and goosebumps straightened up on his body. However, I resisted the urge to take a big step back immediately.
"Hehe, Yu'er laughed. I'm certainly not the kind of person who likes to chew on the root of my tongue and tell the truth. By the way, I see that Yu'er seems to be as big as me, so why don't you call me by my name directly! Call me 'Ran' or 'Ran'er'! Since you call yourself 'Yu'er', then I'm embarrassed to let you continue to call me 'Miss High School', right?!"
Gao Ran naturally understood, and An Yujie specially changed her self-proclaimed intentions. Then she naturally had to "know" follow her wishes, and take the initiative to propose to change each other's names and call each other by their names. In this way, she actually intends to befriend her.
"Well, yes, then I'll call you 'Ran'!"
"Well, good. When responding, Gao Ran naturally smiled at An Yujie. shows her full affinity.
And when An Yujie saw it, she also responded to her with an equally gentle smile.
It's just that the thoughts hidden under the smile are probably only clear to them......
"I think Yu'er came to chase me, there must be something to discuss with me, right?"
As he spoke, Gao Ran looked around and caught a glimpse of a three-story teahouse standing proudly in the most prosperous part of the street.
Thinking about it, after all, it was the "first time" to meet each other, and the two of them were still dressed in fancy clothes at this time...... It seems that there is only one teahouse in the vicinity that can provide the right environment for the two to talk about the next thing - not only suitable for the identity of the two people at this time, but also provide a comfortable and private environment for the two to talk at ease.
"Otherwise, let's go to the teahouse in front of us and find a private room to sit down. And then discuss it carefully, how about it?" After choosing a suitable location in his heart, Gao Ran suggested this.
"Well, that's what I mean! But first, I'll invite you this time! After all, you've come from afar, you're a guest! Let me do my best as a landlord!"
"Well, good. Then I'd be respectful and obey!"
After the two exchanged polite words, An Yujie took the lead and walked towards the teahouse.
Gao Ran and Gao Xi glanced at each other, as if exchanging their own ideas, and then followed An Yujie very tacitly, followed her into the teahouse, and followed her all the way to the innermost private room on the top floor of the teahouse.
"Hehe, seeing that Yu'er is so familiar with the way, could it be that Yu'er is a frequent visitor to this teahouse?
"Oh, Ran is really observant! But you're only half right! I'm indeed a regular here, and this private room is indeed my exclusive private room. However, my spending here is free. Because, this is the property under the name of our family. So, even though I invited you, it can actually be regarded as our home to invite you......"
When she said this, An Yujie did not hide the sense of superiority in her heart, and at the same time, she clearly hinted at Gao Ran in her words: The weight of this tea money is not light!
"Oh, I see......"
Gao Ran listened, but he responded lightly disapprovingly. I still thought to myself, "I'm still too young!, too, I'm only a little over five years old, how mature can I expect her to be?!"
But, then, she felt that she would have such an idea, which was a little ridiculous: "How can I be so naïve as to be a little kid?!
Thinking like this, Gao Ran couldn't help but shake his head slightly and smiled slightly self-deprecatingly.
Somehow, at this moment, she suddenly remembered that once upon a time, when facing Dong Tianyi, she seemed to have had such self-deprecation......
"I wonder what happened to him now?"
Thinking of Dong Tianyi inexplicably, Gao Ran suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart: it was as if the originally calm water surface suddenly wrinkled a shallow ripple for some reason, but it soon dispersed and regained its calm......
Gao Ran couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but the next moment he immediately came back to his senses.
She deliberately shook her head, shook off the strange thoughts that appeared inexplicably in her head, and drew her attention back to the present moment again......
She looked at An Yujie seriously again, and found that she hadn't even pulled away from the little pride she had just now! On her face, Gao Ran could still clearly see the traces of her wanting to show off to her—even if it wasn't obvious.
"Well, maybe this teahouse is the highest grade in this Qingli town, otherwise, she wouldn't have immediately shown such an obvious sense of pride when she mentioned that this was their home's property. It's just a pity......"
It's a pity that An Yujie found the wrong person to show off...... (To be continued.) )
