Chapter Seven: Xiao Ranran

Human emotions are always complex. Not only can't I say it, but more often than not, I can't make sense of it. People's emotions are affected by reality, and reality is complex, which is destined to be difficult to purify. That's why there is a story of love in this world.

Xiao Ranran and Lu Qianfan, the two live in the same community, they have been classmates since kindergarten, and they go to and from school together every day. It wasn't until high school that the two went from being in the same class to being next to each other. It was also from that time that Lu Qianfan realized that their relationship had changed.

Xiao Ranran has a cheerful personality, loves to talk and laugh, and is extremely handsome. Since she was a child, she has been surrounded by many boys and girls, a proper child king. Lu Qianfan is like a follower, following Xiao Ranran's side every day. In high school, Xiao Ranran's beautiful embryo also grew, and her appearance became more and more marked. On the pink goose egg face, the facial features are as delicate as the master's carving, especially the pair of smart eyes, and the light at the bottom of the eyes is as bright as the starry sky. With her long black and bright hair, her bare makeup alone is comparable to those little flowers on the screen. So, when she was in high school, there were more and more boys around her, and many bold boys began to confess to her.

Girls in high school tend to be a little more precocious than boys. When Lu Qianfan was still ignorant and longing for love, but he would be unhappy because of too many boys around Xiao Ranran, Xiao Ranran had already begun to deal with the love letters that poured in like a tide.

Among her many admirers, Xiao Ranran chose the most handsome boy in the school, who was named Yang Gaoxu in her impression, and became a big news in the school for a while. It was also from this time that Lu Qianfan discovered that Xiao Ranran was alienating him. Since Xiao Ranran didn't wait for Lu Qianfan to go to school together in the morning, it gradually became that they would not eat together during the lunch break. At the end of school, although the two of them will go home together, on the way, they have changed from walking side by side to one after the other, from talking about nothing to not saying a word.

The communication between the two became less and less, until in the end, only the greetings when they met remained.

Lu Qianfan is not a fool, but he just can't understand: there are still many boys around Xiao Ranran, why Xiao Ranran only alienated him.

Later, Lu Qianfan, who was estranged by Xiao Ranran, had new friends and became famous in the world of programmers. Lu Qianfan occasionally looked at Xiao Ranran, but it seemed that Lu Qianfan had never been seen in Xiao Ranran's eyes.

It wasn't until they were promoted to the third year of high school that Xiao Ranran fell out of love. Yang Gaoxu wanted to go to college in the south, but Xiao Ranran wanted to go to Jinglin University in the imperial capital. The love of high school students is purer than that of college students, but the final outcome is always the same - parting ways because of different paths.

On the day of the breakup, Xiao Ranran behaved very calmly, and even talked and laughed with the people around her. The students in the school thought that she and Yang Gaoxu had just had a big quarrel and would be reconciled in a few days. Only Lu Qianfan noticed something strange because of the familiarity between childhood sweethearts. At the end of school that day, Lu Qianfan walked beside Xiao Ranran again. What the two of them said at that time, Lu Qianfan couldn't remember clearly. He only remembered that Xiao Ranran pulled the corner of his clothes and cried all the way.

Xiao Ranran rarely cries. In Lu Qianfan's impression, the last time she cried was in the third grade of primary school, because her favorite toy since childhood was broken by the boy next door. When he saw those red and swollen eyes again, Lu Qianfan finally realized that he liked Xiao Ranran. It was also from then on that Lu Qianfan gave Xiao Ranran an additional title: "girl". Because she cried exactly the same way she did when she was a child, Lu Qianfan didn't want her to be bullied by anyone again.

After that day, Xiao Ranran no longer hid from Lu Qianfan as before, and the communication between the two gradually returned to its former appearance. The news of Xiao Ranran's breakup with Yang Gaoxu spread quickly, and many boys thought they had another chance, so they launched a love offensive against Xiao Ranran again. However, all of these were blocked by Xiao Ranran with Lu Qianfan.

"Do me a favor." Xiao Ranran would always say this to Lu Qianfan, and Lu Qianfan was naturally willing to serve.

Lu Qianfan never confessed to Xiao Ranran. Because whenever this topic is mentioned, Xiao Ranran will always talk about him left and right, so that Lu Qianfan can't figure out Xiao Ranran's thoughts. Lu Qianfan thought that Xiao Ranran was afraid that the same thing would happen again, so after he took the college entrance examination, Lu resolutely applied for the same school with Xiao Ranran.

On the day he got the admission letter from Jinglin University, Lu Qianfan finally opened his mouth to Xiao Ranran. The result was an unexpected rejection.

Boys often have an indescribable attachment to their first love, and Lu Qianfan is no exception. He pursued Xiao Ranran almost like a stalker until the start of college.

Eighteen-year-old Xiao Ranran is already a complete goddess, with an almost impeccable figure, appearance, and personality. The suitors around her could almost form a company. Then, something similar to high school happened again.

Lu Qianfan is not the only suitor who stalks Xiao Ranran, but the only person who is deliberately alienated by Xiao Ranran is Lu Qianfan. Xiao Ranran even deliberately let her suitors target Lu Qianfan, and more than a dozen groups of people came to find trouble with Lu Qianfan, making Lu Qianfan's freshman year like a mess.

Lu Qianfan, who loved and hated Xiao Ranran, finally gave up. He could only look at Xiao Ranran from afar, watching her and the other boys talking and laughing, and then changing boyfriends at an average rate of every six months.

"Aquaman", "Scumbag", "Green Tea", "White Lotus", "Good Chase"...... All kinds of evil words were pasted on Xiao Ranran's body. As a result, there are more and more scumbags gathered around Xiao Ranran. In the eyes of others, it seems that Xiao Ranran's every love is just playing.

However, Lu Qianfan does not think so. Every relationship between Xiao Ranran ended with her being dumped. And after every relationship ends, Lu Qianfan will see Xiao Ranran crying alone in a corner. At first, Lu Qianfan wanted to comfort Xiao Ranran, but Xiao Ranran would hold back her tears as soon as she saw Lu Qianfan, pretending to leave as if nothing had happened, and when she met again the next day, she would talk and laugh as before.

In desperation, Lu Qianfan had no choice but to stand aside quietly and guard the crying Xiao Ranran. Then, on the night of the second day, he beat up Xiao Ranran's ex-boyfriend and deleted all his game accounts by the way.

This situation continued until Lu Qianfan was sent into the army by his father. This was the farthest he had ever been from Xiao Ranran. As a communications soldier, Lu Qianfan's work has a certain confidential nature, so his access to information from the outside world is much less. It wasn't until the second year of his military service that he went home to visit relatives that he saw Xiao Ranran again.

At that time, Lu Qianfan knew that Xiao Ranran was going to get married, and the object was a rich second generation who seemed to have a successful career. The night before returning to the army, Lu Qianfan made a phone call to Xiao Ranran. He wanted to invite Xiao Ranran to a meal, which was a farewell to his student days. Lu Qianfan didn't have much hope, but Xiao Ranran unexpectedly agreed to the invitation.

Two old friends who had been estranged for a long time sat together again. When he saw Xiao Ranran again, Lu Qianfan found that she was much more mature, but the corners of her mouth were missing the smile she used to have.

That day, both of them drank a lot and talked a lot.

"After all these years, can't you really give up? I'm getting married! ”

"Can't you tell me why you're only avoiding me, girl?"

"Because I like you."

Xiao Ranran's plain words, but like a bomb, they stirred up a huge wave in Lu Qianfan's heart. "What did you say?"

"Do you know how dazzling the program you developed in high school was that even my dad's old engineer was full of praise when he saw it. The more I envy you for liking you, the more clear I am about how far I am from you. The two of us can't be people of the same world. ”

"If you like it, why don't you promise me?"

"Do you know how big the gap is between me and you? You're already a well-known network engineer, and I'm only a bank clerk in the future. No matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with you! ”

"What's ...... this?"

"Because I'm not worthy of you."

"."

"Do you know why my parents divorced? It's because my mom is the pride of the sky, and my dad is just a hard programmer. Why should we be together when the end is decided. ”

"The world is so hostile to programmers...... Programmers only deserve to be single dogs, right? Lu Qianfan smiled. There was a hint of helplessness, bitterness, and anger that I didn't know how to vent in my smile.

"I'm going to do everything I can to get you to give up on me. Alienating you, rejecting you, bullying you, finding a boyfriend. As a result, you don't plan to die at all. In the end, I turned myself into a scumbag, why don't you give up! Why are you still guarding me! I'm going to teach those who bullied me a lesson! Can't you hurry up and find a girlfriend and go in love! Watch me do what I do every day! Xiao Ranran suddenly became hysterical. She shouted at Lu Qianfan, causing the customers next to her to look at her.

"Because, I don't want to see you cry anymore."

"Shut up! It's because of the way you are, I can't even find a serious and reliable man! ”

"I'm sorry."

Xiao Ranran, who realized that she was out of shape, hurriedly restrained her emotions. She said, "Sorry, gaffe. You don't need to apologize, I did it myself. When choosing your first boyfriend in college, find someone who is reliable. Or maybe it's good that you don't invest in your feelings in love, anyway, if you try to like someone else for so long, your heart will still beat faster when you see you. ”

"It's really too much for you to say that."

"Every time I fell out of love, I was sad and wanted to cry, just like when my toys broke when I was a kid. It's not such a special emotion, it's just that because I have given so many things, it's gone...... Xiao Ranran was silent for a while, and said: "Moreover, only when I cry secretly, can I find a reason for myself openly, so that I can stay next to you for a while with peace of mind." Just like in my junior year of high school, I thought we would be able to separate soon. ”

Lu Qianfan smiled dumbly. "If I hadn't been admitted to Kyorin University, maybe it would have been different......

Xiao Ranran patted her cheek. She said, "Seriously, I shouldn't have told you this. I'm getting married, and these words should rot in my stomach. I feel like I'm getting more and more like a green tea. ”

Lu Qianfan smiled bitterly. "Drink the bar, just think this is the black history of young people, forget about it."

"Drink!" Xiao Ranran suddenly smiled very happily, as if she really wanted to forget all this.

If the story ends here, it will only be an unrequited love that the teenager never began. Ignorant feelings, unrealistic wishful thinking, and the faint bitterness of youth.

After Lu Qianfan was discharged from the army, he learned that more than half a year ago, when Xiao Ranran was pregnant, her father died of advanced liver cancer. When Xiao Ranran was taking care of the funeral for her father with advanced liver cancer, her husband cheated on her female subordinate. After the couple divorced, Xiao Ranran, who suffered a heavy mental blow, accidentally miscarried. Frustrated, he suffered from depression and was taken abroad by his mother to take care of him, and has not been heard from since.

This sudden ending was like a needle, stabbing Lu Qianfan's heart fiercely.

In this different world, Lu Qianfan, who returned to school, decided to rewrite this story. "This time, I will definitely protect you."
