Hearing her say this, Uncle Cheng didn't have the panic in his heart that he had just glanced at the past, and he had a bottom, but he still put down the work in his hand, personally helped Lin Ran to the table and sat down, brought her candy and chocolate, and asked a few words before returning to the kitchen step by step.

Lin Ran sat at the table with a water glass, and she didn't have the heart to think about what Uncle Cheng would think, her mind was full of whether she could finish the progress today.

After eating quickly half-heartedly, Lin Ran took the hot milk and tea that Uncle Cheng had prepared for her and put them in a thermos cup, locked herself back in the study, adjusted her state, and devoted herself to the great cause of saving books after dropping eye drops.

On this day, Lin Ran was so busy that he even ate lunch and dinner in the study, and after sending the manuscript to Xu Jia's mailbox by email at half past two in the morning, this time it was not that he felt that he was back at the end of the college entrance examination, but that he had the feeling of escaping for the first time in his life.

When she stood up, Lin Ran could even hear the clicking sound of her cervical and lumbar spine, she forced herself to take a shower, and even almost fell asleep standing up when brushing her teeth.

If Lin Ran recalled, she didn't even know how she moved from the bathroom to the bed that night, and covered herself with a quilt to sleep.

She only knew that she didn't have any dreams that night, and Hei Tian slept directly until the next day.

So when Lin Hong called him to ask him how his progress was, Lin Ran said with heartfelt emotion: "It's finally over." Seriously, in recent times, I haven't wanted to see a book manuscript again. ”

"Although this wish is very simple, it's a pity," Lin Hong sounded in a good mood, "With this progress of Brother Xu's company, you will definitely be able to get it next week at the latest." ”

Lin Ran was silent for a while, then looked at him seriously and proposed, "For the sake of my mental health, Senior Lin, you can actually make up a white lie to deceive me." ”

"Really? Then next time, I'll try to tell a white lie as much as possible. ”

“…… Thank you so much. ”

Lin Ran made an appointment with Hu Ting to go out to eat together at noon, and during the meal, Lin Ran was obviously a little absent-minded, and seemed to be thinking about something, although Hu Ting, who was eating with her, saw this, but did not break it.

Because with her understanding of Lin Ran, if Lin Ran is willing to tell her about it, when the time comes, she will naturally tell him, but if she is unwilling, no matter how much she asks, she will not reveal a word.

Recently, studying Lin Ran has become a hobby for her, and even a kind of leisure time.

Sure enough, as Hu Ting expected, when she was about to finish eating, Lin Ran had already made a decision: "Do you have something to do tonight?" ”

Hu Ting didn't answer her question directly: "What's the matter with you?" ”

"It's nothing, just ask if you're free, of course, it's best if you're not available." Lin Ran poked the fish on his plate and said happily.

"I've already handed in all my homework, and I don't have anything to do today."

Hearing her say this, Lin Ran sighed and threw away the fork: "Many of my high school classmates are in Yancheng, and they organized a friendship tonight, and the notice given to me yesterday has to let me bring a friend with me." ”

"You're going?" Hu Ting was a little surprised, as far as she knew, Lin Ran was not a person who loved group activities.

She shrugged her shoulders: "Of course I don't want to go, although the class reunion is famous for connecting feelings, it is actually not a comparison meeting of a bunch of people." But the class president said on the phone that I haven't shown up since graduating from high school, and if I don't go this time, I won't give face to the whole class. ”

Hu Ting nodded: "I'll go with you." Have you eaten enough? ”

"No," Lin Ran shook her head honestly, "This shop is really unpalatable, and it's not easy for you to find here." ”

Hu Ting nodded: "I thought it was my sense of taste that was out of order - I had to beat my brother when I went back, and I was recommended to a broken restaurant." ”

The KTV set by the classmates association is also one of the few in Yancheng, and I found a private room according to the room number, and it was already very lively as soon as I opened the door.

Whether it was true or false, seeing Lin Ran, who had not shown up at all after graduation, appeared, everyone stood up to say hello, in the process of responding, the corner of Lin Ran's eyes found that Hu Ting's eyes were a little erratic, she looked at her old classmate, grabbed a gap, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Hu Ting pursed her thin lips: "Among your classmates, there are people my friend once wanted to introduce me to as a boyfriend. ”

Lin Ran's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked with great interest: "Please tell me that you didn't take a fancy to him." ”

"Where did your mind-blowing mind go? Whether I have a crush on him or not, this scene is very embarrassing now, okay? Hu Ting paused, but still told the truth, "It's not a good look, it's just that I was secretly in love with my boyfriend at that time." I made an excuse that it was inconvenient and left. ”

Lin Ran was silent for a while, and suddenly had a bad premonition: "You...... Tell me which one? ”

"The one in the white shirt."

She looked around and found that there was only one person wearing a white shirt, and that was the only classmate of the opposite sex who could still say a few words to her in high school, Wang Wenmao.

"I feel like I'm in the middle of a bloody drama of the year." She put her hands over her face and said weakly, "Can anyone tell me what kind of god this is?" ”

After a round of greetings, the atmosphere was almost lively, and the squad leader of the year clapped his hands twice, attracting everyone's attention: "Everyone, since Lin Ran has brought friends, let's kill people first, right?" ”

Everyone responded, although Lin Ran said that he had not participated in the class reunion since graduation, he had already heard of this tradition.

This is their means to open up the situation, Lin Ran has just listened for a while, and found that they said that it was a friendship, but in fact, the friends they brought had more or less seen before, with her understanding of this group of people, the host would deliberately let Hu Ting draw the killer later, and then the policeman's card would fall into her hands, saying that it was to test each other's tacit understanding.

Lin Ran played the killer card in his hand, a little funny, it would be good if he guessed it, but if he didn't guess it...... I don't know how many friends will have a knot in their hearts because of this after the end of the class reunion every year.

Although he thought so in his heart, Lin Ran had no psychological pressure at all, and watched silently without saying a word.

After the cards were drawn, the squad leader who played the judge announced, "Please close your eyes when it's dark", if you want to say that you are not curious, it is also fake, Lin Ran secretly opened her eyes a slit, and sure enough, she saw Hu Ting observing around.

As a result, before she could close her eyes, Hu Ting's gaze fell directly on her, and even winked at her.

Bad thing!

When it was announced again that "it was dark", Lin Ran hurriedly opened her eyes and pointed at Hu Ting without hesitation, regardless of the squad leader's surprise, gritting her teeth and gesturing "She is a killer".

Usually she doesn't play like this, after all, she knows the answer, and it's not fun to say it.

When everyone opened their eyes, they saw the squad leader announcing with a tangled face: "Okay, to be precise, the killer and the police are all dead." The killer killed the policeman, Lin Ran identified his friends before he died, and the tacit understanding between the two of you is no wonder that you are roommates. ”

There was a burst of laughter in the room, and Lin Ran smiled: "Sister Ting's expression is wrong as soon as she draws a card." ”

Hearing this, everyone was in a commotion, and the atmosphere in the room boiled again, and they began to sing and sing, and play with dice.

Lin Ran played the role of a vase with great conscientiousness, an excellent girl with a shallow smile, just the right amount of noble manners developed because of her background, coupled with her ease of conversation, immediately made her the most concerned person, although she said very little, but seemed to be the focus of the room.

But what Lin Ran was thinking about was the gaze that those people had cast on him and Hu Ting just now, inquiry, jealousy, and disgust.

In an instant, it pulled her back to her high school days.

Just when she was thinking about it, Wang Wenmao, whose face was not very natural, sat over with a drink: "I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you doing now?" ”

Looking at his smile as if he had squeezed out, Lin Ran also felt very tricky, and pretended to answer casually: "It's still the same as before, study seriously, what about you?" ”
