The community faces Jinji Lake, a 5A-level scenic spot in the north, and Dushu Lake in the south, and is located in the center of Suzhou Industrial Park.

Lin Ran followed Su Cheng all the way to the depths of the community, and there were few pedestrians, only three or two cars speeding by.

The podocarpus trees on both sides of the road are neatly trimmed, and the camphor trees of the previous year are verdant and green, covering the single-family villas behind them.

There is also a large area of artificial lake in the community, standing on a high place to look at, the artificial lake seems to be integrated with the landscape of Jinji Lake in the distance, the water forest is connected to the green mountains and green hills, but it is to find a quiet place in the bustling city.

"This environment is really not poking." Lin Ran looked around with some satisfaction.

"It's good everywhere except for the price." Su Cheng laughed and walked into a villa by the lake with Lin Ran.

Pushing open the aluminum art gate of the courtyard, there is a small garden of more than 100 square meters.

Small trees and low shrubs, stone walls and wall lamps echo each other, and the visual space is instantly reflected.

Stepping on the steps, Su Cheng gently tapped the fingerprint lock of the door with her index finger, pushed open the heavy armored door, she took a pair of shoe covers for Lin Ran from the shoe cabinet, and then turned on the air conditioner and heater.

The area of the villa is not small, there is a storage room on the ground, and there is a three-story building on the ground, with 5 bedrooms and 3 living rooms for a total of 600 square meters.

The living room on the first floor is quite large, and the enclosed sofa coffee table and the central mantelpiece complement each other, without any sense of disobedience.

Su Cheng's own room was on the second floor, and she wore strawberry bear slippers and took Lin Ran upstairs.

The staircase is surrounded by beaded chandeliers that resemble fireflies, and a warm and soft light pours over the steps.

"My parents haven't come back, and I'm living alone these days, so it's boring." Su Cheng said as he walked.

Lin Ran subconsciously responded, Su Cheng was in front of him when he went upstairs, so Lin Ran could just look at his girlfriend's calves with the help of the height of the steps.

Su Cheng was wearing a pair of loose ripped jeans when she just went out to eat, and her bare ankles were red when the cold wind blew in winter.

Now back in the house, the warm breeze of the air conditioner has thinned the crimson color on her ankles, and the true color of her jade-like warm skin gradually emerges, which really responds to the word white and red.

Lin Ran's attention was attracted by this ankle.

Su Cheng is one meter tall and in her early seventies, coupled with excellent body proportions and a thin body, when she goes up the steps, she can highlight the slender calf Achilles tendon with a slight force, slender and feminine with a sense of strength.

The delicate ankle sockets on both sides of the Achilles tendon of the calf are slightly concave inward, which makes Lin Ran think about it.

"I have a lot of books, and I plan to buy another bookcase when I come back, I don't want to put it in the study, what do you think about it in my own room?"

Su Cheng stepped on the floor of the second floor.

She didn't hear the answer, turned her head to look at Lin Ran, and noticed that her boyfriend didn't hear her question.

“…… What do you think? Su Cheng repeated the question, and after asking this sentence, she followed Lin Ran's gaze to her feet.

Her face turned red, and she quickly pulled down the hem of her pants to hide the thin ankle.

Lin Ran retracted his gaze at this time.

"What are you staring at my feet for?" Su Cheng's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"Teacher Su, you are so cute." Lin Ran couldn't help but say.

“…… Where is cute? Su Cheng's face became more and more ruddy, but she still asked softly, and the science girl's strength to get to the bottom came up again.

"It's cute everywhere." Lin Ran said smoothly.

Su Cheng's hands and feet were at a loss, her face was hot, and her shallow knowledge of love was not enough for her to support this conversation any longer, so she quickly and skillfully pulled the topic away.

"I'll take you to my room." Su Cheng said bluntly.

Her room wasn't empty, with a large bed neatly folded, a wardrobe tucked away in the wall to take up extra space, and a silver suitcase standing behind the door.

Desks and computer desks flank the room, with a variety of math books and math notes on one side and a water-cooled chassis and Ferrari red Filco keyboard on the other.

It doesn't seem to be out of place.

"I just want to buy a bookcase to put here," Su Cheng's face returned to normal, and she gestured with her fingers to the empty space between the desk and the computer desk, "so that I don't have to run around all the time." ”

Lin Ran turned around twice in front of his girlfriend's desk, and the math book that Su Cheng had asked him to buy in the United States was also placed on it.

He counted the location.

"You have to move your desk to the side, otherwise there will be a spare space in the corner of the room, and the custom bookcase will not be able to fit it."

The two moved their desks two steps into the corner, so that the chairs were facing the window.

"Hey, is there anyone living in the house over there?" Lin Ran looked through the window next door to Su Cheng's house, where there was also a single-family villa, and the grass and trees in the garden were neatly trimmed, but there didn't seem to be any fireworks inside.

"No," Su Cheng was very sure, "I saw someone come to see the house this morning." ”

Lin Ran sat at Su Cheng's house until 9 o'clock in the evening before getting up to leave.

Su Cheng was afraid that he would get lost at night, so he simply put on his shoes and sent Lin Ran away.

The street lamps on both sides of the street and the bright moon in the sky poured down the dim yellow light, and the shadows cast by the light on the ground were long, and the winter wind stirred the camphor trees.

Su Cheng hovered under the street lamp.

At this time, they have already left the residential area, and there is a security booth in the distance, and they can leave the community by walking along the avenue.

"And we'll see you tomorrow?" Su Chengse shrunk and wrapped his arms around his body, and said in a soft voice.

Lin Ran looked back at her.

Su Cheng wore a plain white thin down jacket over a black sweatshirt, and a pair of white sneakers under his jeans.

The owner's legs were a little stiff from the cold, so he gently knocked it against the tiles of the sidewalk, and the clattering sound of the shoes was particularly clear in the silence of the winter night.

Lin Ran looked at Su Cheng's pretty face with a white and clean face shrunk in the middle of the fur edge of the down jacket and hat, standing under the dim street lamp, she looked simple and charming.

As he said in the villa, Lin Ran felt that Su Cheng was cute everywhere, and even liked her gentle stomping of her feet.

"Why don't you speak?" The cold wind blows through the winter night in Suzhou, and Su Cheng feels a little cold.

"Teacher Su, can I hug you?" Lin Ran suddenly spoke, staring straight into her eyes.

Su Cheng didn't say anything, just jumped two steps forward and staggered a little farther away from the street lamp.

Lin Ran also took two steps forward and took her into his arms.

"It's so cold, it's cold......" Su Cheng shrank in Lin Ran's black down jacket with his two hands.

Her body was still trembling slightly from stimulation, but she couldn't tell whether it was cold or Lin Ran's palm at the moment.

The two stood by the street lamp and whispered, their voices wrapped in the white air produced by winter breathing, and gently hit each other's ears with a little affection.

"It's time to go, or you'll have to stay up all night when you go back." Su Cheng wanted to push him away.

Rational emotions occupied her eyes, and most of the time, Su Cheng was always so calm.

Maybe Su Cheng was still in his arms at the moment, and Lin Ran wanted to peel off Su Cheng's calm shell.

He sent the gods and said:

"Can I kiss you?"

Su Cheng's brain was like someone had put a captain's powder keg, which exploded in an instant and fell into a blank.

Su Cheng looked at the handsome Lin Ran in front of her, this was the boy she had missed, and Lin Ran had been by her side for as long as she could remember.

He appeared in his world like a gust of wind with a bright smile, and he was no longer missing.

Her eyes darkened, her lips lifted slightly, and her tone was solemn, "Do you really want to ask me this question, Mr. Lin." ”

The words entered Lin Ran's ears with a bit of moist moisture, tickling the tip of his heart.

"Can I take that back?" Lin Ran asked cautiously, he wasn't sure of Su Cheng's attitude.

“…… No. Su Cheng smiled brightly.

She slowly stood on tiptoe, her fingers grabbed Lin Ran's down jacket, and the white clatter shoes finally stopped making a dissatisfied clicking sound.

Lin Ran's heart stopped beating for half a beat, and then leaned down slightly.

Softness meets softness for the first time.

The shadows of the two gradually intertwined, and then slowly shortened under the streetlights.

The brass street lamp had been struck, and now it was its turn to make a dull sound of displeasure.

……

Su Cheng's face was flushed, and her legs were a little weak, and now she was finally sure that her body was not shivering from the cold.

Lin Ran saw that her originally calm and self-contained eyes were stained with a bit of affection.

"Teacher Su."

"Huh?"

"Orange ......" Lin Ran whispered in Su Cheng's ear again, and each syllable was heavily beaten in Su Cheng's heart. 3a Reading Network

"Hmm."

"Let's go, it's too cold." Su Cheng pulled out of Lin Ran's arms and helped him zip up his down jacket.

"I'll come to see the house tomorrow afternoon," Lin Ran gently wiped his fingers over the side of his girlfriend's face, "the one next door to your house." ”

The two were reluctant to separate, and Lin Ran watched Su Cheng's figure disappear before taking a taxi to his home.

I haven't looked at my phone for an hour, and there has been a mess in the YM group.

Lin Ran looked at the 99+ message prompt and quickly moved to the first unread message.

Xiao Tian was the first to attack, he threw out a bunch of pictures, and then went crazy @刘青松.

In the picture is a record of posts and replies from an account called 'Tear Wound,' Tieba.

One of the most recent posts read, 'Just ask, what it's like to be teammates with a World Champion?' ’

The theme post comes with a picture of a few pots of pothos on a clean and bright staircase.

Lin Ran recognized it at a glance as the YM base, and he could see the lush pothos every day when he went downstairs.

Lin Ran asked, [This is Liu Qingsong's post number? 】

The garlic king finally raised his eyebrows and began to take revenge, [That's not it, there is nothing more powerful than your torn wound! ] 】

Then he sent a voice message.

"I'll give you a talent rune of the hammerstone, three red attack power, six armor, and five yellow fixed health ......"

Xiao Yu began to reread the post record left by Liu Qingsong in the post bar before, and it was not difficult to hear the joy of the garlic king from the voice.

[Can Brother Hao kick him? ] This person is too noisy] Liu Qingsong finally typed and replied.

But the players, coaches, analysts and managers are all surfing at high intensity, trying to keep Liu Qingsong's black history in their mobile phones.

No one paid any attention to him.

As soon as Xiao Tian saw the main protagonist appear, his tone became more and more mocking and rampant.

"Hahahaha...... If I don't have a sword in my hand, I can't protect you; If I keep holding the sword, I won't be able to hold you tightly, you can really do it, Liu Qingsong, I've watched too much Bleach anime, right? ”

Lin Ran looked at two pictures and found blind spots.

[Didn't any of you find the information in this picture?] 】

He edited the picture sent by Xiao Tian and posted it to the group, and drew a red circle on the key information.

Liu Qingsong's post bar number 'tearing wounds,' had a reply in 14 years - people can't blame the sky for being stupid.

"People can't blame the sky for being stupid, hahahahaha......" Jin Gong sent a voice.

[I didn't expect Liu Qingsong to be the real prophet, I'm too young] The prophet replied.

"It's still called Liu Qingsong? It's called tearing less! "Xiao Tian was very excited.

Liu Qingsong paid the price for his crazy garlic Wang Ba emoji in the group yesterday, and he is now lying down and mocking.

When he woke up the next morning, Lin Ran called the sales office of Lakeside Four Seasons to make an appointment for the afternoon viewing.

It is a new house that has not yet been sold, the unit is slightly smaller than Su Cheng's house, with three floors of 550 square meters on the ground, and the final price of this single-family villa is 2800W, and it is still a rough house that has to be renovated.

Lin Ran didn't worry about the decoration, he felt that the decoration style of Su Cheng's house was quite suitable for him, and asked Su's father for the contact information of the design team.

As long as there is money, the procedures will be carried out quickly.

At the beginning of January this year, Lin Ran's signing fee, two months' salary for the new contract, the LPL Summer Tournament bonus and the live broadcast income have all been distributed, and his bank card balance has grown rapidly.

But even so, after paying 840W for the first time, Lin Ran's savings are only a few hundred thousand.

The remaining nearly 2,000W was paid off in the form of a 10-year loan, and 20W was repaid every month, which was not much pressure on Lin Ran.

He looked at the single-family villa in front of him, full of a sense of accomplishment.

After more than a year of professional work, I finally changed a house and came out.

The renovation was agreed, and the 2017 Lunar New Year was quietly approached.

Lin Mingdong returned home in the early morning of the 28th of the lunar month, and the sound of unlocking woke up the sleeping Lin Ran.

"Coming back?" Lin Ran opened the door and rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, the last time he and Lin Mingdong met was back in the early summer of last year.

Lin Mingdong was dressed in a suit, and the moment he saw Lin Ran, his serious facial expression softened slightly.

"Hmm......" he lowered down and took off his shoes, "I heard that you and Su Cheng are in love?" ”

Lin Ran subconsciously said, "We've been talking for half a year, and you're very well-informed." ”

After saying that, he regretted it.

Lin Ran is not the hairy boy who has not entered the society now, he knows that his tone of voice towards Lin Mingdong is a little impulsive, and he doesn't want to make trouble for himself during the New Year.

"On Chinese New Year's Eve, I plan to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with Su Cheng's family of three, are you free?" Lin Mingdong straightened up, lifted his glasses and asked.

Lin Ran was quite surprised, Lin Mingdong didn't have a straight face to seriously criticize and correct his attitude just now, it was incredible.

"Yes, there is ......time," Lin Ran replied, "There is another thing, I bought a house in Lakeside Four Seasons two days ago. ”

"I know, your Uncle Su told me," Lin Mingdong took off his suit and put it on his forearm, "It's good to decide your own money, but don't spend it blindly...... Do you have enough money? ”

Lin Mingdong's tone tonight was exceptionally gentle.

"Enough is enough." Lin Ran waved his hand, he didn't accept his shoes and didn't go to the PC, he stayed in the base every day and had nowhere to spend his money.

"Go to sleep, and tomorrow I'll buy two couplets to stick at the door." Lin Mingdong pushed the suitcase into the master bedroom and closed the door.

Lin Mingdong's attitude made Lin Ran think for a moment that he hadn't woken up.

He scratched the black hair on the top of his head and went back to his bedroom to go back to sleep.

Lin Mingdong took a shower, sat on the bed and opened his suitcase.

At the top is a group photo, the date in the corner of the photo is fixed in September 2009, Lin Ran is sitting in the center of the sofa, with two arms around his parents sitting on both sides, and the three of them are smiling happily at the camera.

Lin Mingdong's fingers gently brushed over the family in the photo.

He remembers that at that time, he and his wife took advantage of the vigorous development of the mobile Internet, and their salaries increased several times, and the equity dividends were soft.

As a result, the family bought two new houses, and the quality of life improved steadily, but unexpectedly, his wife suddenly fell seriously ill and died in two months.

After that, Lin Mingdong put all his energy into his work, became a trapeze, and didn't care much about Lin Ran, and basically relied on Lin Ran's grandparents and the Su family couple who knew each other well.

When Lin Ran was in high school, the elderly in the family also passed away one after another, and the Su family and his wife's place of work also left Suzhou, and Lin Ran basically lived alone.

Lin Mingdong sighed, put the group photo on the bedside, and picked up a book below.

Anna Freud's Mental Health Thoughts.

He chose this book last month after careful screening to help study the psychological state of adolescent children, read it in his spare time, and revise his words and deeds when facing children, and the effect of today's dialogue with Lin Ran is indeed different.

Lin Mingdong is trying to change, albeit a little late, but he still wants to make up for it.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Mingdong ordered a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the Kempinski Hotel on the shore of Jinji Lake, and Su's father and mother also returned to Suzhou two days before Chinese New Year's Eve.

"You don't have any more conflicts with your father, do you?" Su Cheng knew that Lin Ran and Lin Mingdong didn't deal with each other very well, so after meeting, he hurriedly pulled his boyfriend aside and asked with concern.

"It's okay, he's been in a good temper lately," Lin Ran glanced at the three people on the other side of the table, "I think it's inexplicable, he doesn't care about me eating hamburgers now." ”

"That's a bit weird," Su Cheng frowned, "but it doesn't seem to be a bad thing?" ”

"That's right, I can order McNuggets at home at noon now, and the double-layered custard burger is really delicious." Lin Ran nodded in agreement.

"That's all you have in mind," Su Cheng glanced at him, "Your dad has made his attitude clear first, and you don't have to stiffen on." ”

"I know, I know, ......I know," Lin Ran diverted the topic, "Your mother is a little excited?" ”

Su Mu's face was flushed, holding a wine glass in her hand, and her face was full of smiles.

"Two days ago, I talked about a large real estate company merger and acquisition, but she was very happy." Su Cheng smiled and filled Lin Ran's cup with freshly squeezed orange juice.

Su Mu is a partner of the Red Circle Law Firm, and this big case has a lot of income.

This year's Spring Festival Gala is playing on the TV in the private room, and the Spring Festival Gala in these years is really not interesting, and it is the background sound of everyone's chat.

When the clock was about to ring at zero o'clock, Lin Ran pulled Su Cheng out of the private room, ran down the corridor, opened the wide balcony door, and lit up the dark night outside the window with a little starry.

"Ten, nine, eight......" The two held hands and watched the New Year's countdown to Jinji Lake outside.

The moment the count reaches zero, the south side of Suzhou blooms with gorgeous fireworks.

Since this year, fireworks have been banned in the city, but fireworks can still be set off from the south of Dushu Lake, and they stand on the upper floors of the hotel to take in the fireworks on the south side.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Lin!" Su Cheng's eyes smiled into a crescent moon.
