After chatting with Ella and Kashma, Sophie carefully analyzed the current situation with Qiao Ran. Sophie thinks that she and Qiao Ran can become partners by taking advantage of the rules of the army, and the second lieutenant will turn a blind eye to them. But if she really confessed to Qiao Ran and expressed her intentions, no matter what the reply she received, she would definitely not be able to hide her thoughts, and the second lieutenant would definitely find out the clues. At that time, even if the second lieutenant spoiled her again, he would not let her partner with Qiao Ran.

What to do? Why don't you partner with Qiao Ran? No, Sophie thought, it was precisely because of the dangerous nature of the work that it was stipulated that there should be no feelings between partners. If one day, Qiao Ran encountered danger at work, and his partner was not himself, that person would leave Qiao Ran nine times out of ten, Sophie was not at ease.

"Your face is wrong, are you sick?"

Ella, who had just returned to the dormitory from outside, saw Sophie's eccentricity at a glance.

Hearing Ella's concern, Sophie realized that her mind was dizzy, and she had no strength in her body. But he was still stubborn: "No, I'm in good health." ”

Ella walked over to Sophie's bed and pressed the back of her hand to her hot forehead.

"You have a fever."

"Hey, hey." Sophie smiled apologetically, she hadn't been sick in a long time, and she didn't react for a while.

"At this time, the infirmary is estimated to be empty, you lie on the bed and rest, I'll help you get some medicine."

"Don't bother Ella......"

"Less nonsense."

Ella gave the order, and Sophie obediently shut up and collapsed on the bed. A few seconds later, I heard Ella go out and close the door.

After receiving the news of her illness, Sophie realized that she felt the taste of fishy crying in her throat, and her body was a little cold, which was spreading from her body to the outside, but her body was hot.

Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, in a daze, she began to think about Qiao Ran's question again. With Qiao Ran, I always feel that he is like an old father, who manages himself from time to time, but he is afraid that he will be greedy and cold, and he is afraid that he will be injured. Now that he had a fever, he would be very angry if he knew. However, he is the one who is in charge of Sophie, and it has always been him who accompanies Sophie to mess around and quarrel with Sophie. This made Sophie feel that Qiao Ran had kept all his remaining childishness to himself, and no one else could see it.

That day, under the dim street lamp, Qiao Ran was waiting for her at the school gate with a book in one hand. Sophie looked from afar, and suddenly found that she didn't know when it started, the two people suddenly had a height difference, Qiao Ran was growing up, and the silhouette of her calm posture was clearly visible. He lowered his head and carefully read every sentence on the book, his angular side face broke away from the childishness of his childhood, and his hand holding the book became strong and wide.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that such Qiao Ran was a little strange, and she didn't know how to get along with him.

When did he and Qiao Ran grow up secretly? In Sophie's memory, the two of them were still at an age when they could share the same bed. At that time, Sophie read horror novels and didn't dare to sleep, so she would hold a pillow in the middle of the night, climb into Qiao Ran's bed, and sleep with him. Qiao Ran's cooking skills are very good, Sophie sometimes comes back late, and the second lieutenant is not at home, Qiao Ran is cooking. Sophie used to feel that Qiao Ran's mouth was used to her, but later she learned that Qiao Ran had been catering to her tastes. Qiao Ran is getting taller and taller, and when walking with him, Sophie's three steps are the distance of Qiao Ran's two steps, and Qiao Ran will deliberately slow down his pace...... When he was seriously ill, all he thought of was Qiao Ran's good ......

Before she found out that she liked Qiao Ran, when the two walked together, Sophie would naturally hold Qiao Ran's hand, and sometimes she would play a prank, suddenly hugging him from behind, and physical contact was also commonplace. Sophie began to realize that she was usually too intimate with Qiao Ran's actions, and the male and female consciousness that she realized afterwards couldn't help but make Sophie blush.

"Qiao Ran." In the drowsiness, she saw Qiao Ran sitting at the head of the bed, and in the next second, her consciousness became clearer - Qiao Ran did come.

"Why are you here? This is a girls' dormitory! ”

"I ran into Ella on the way, and she said that some idiot was sick, so I came to see her."

Qiao Ran knew that Sophie would be angry if he said this, but he had to deliberately tease it, and seeing Sophie's angry but energetic appearance, he was satisfied. But this time, he miscalculated, Sophie didn't reply, but lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”

Qiao Ran was originally going to count down Sophie, but at the moment, his heart relented.

"I brought you porridge and fruit. Take a little first, and wait for Ella to come back before taking the medicine. ”

"I don't have an appetite."

"Eat as much as you want, or I'll open your mouth and pour it in."

Qiao Ran said gentle words in a cold tone, which made Sophie laugh out loud. Sophie suddenly understood why she hadn't discovered her feelings for Qiao Ran earlier, because Qiao Ran had been standing behind her, and as long as she could see him as soon as she turned around, she had long taken Qiao Ran's company for granted.

She sat up from the bed slowly, picked up the food that Qiao Ran gave her, and suddenly said, "You feed me." She began to be coquettish, thinking that she could not waste the opportunity to be sick.

Qiao Ran hesitated for a few seconds, and did so, he never complained about taking care of Sophie.

"Why are you still like a child?"

"You treated me like a child."

Qiao Ran blew the hot air wafting on the porridge and carefully delivered it to Ella's mouth.

With the hot porridge in her mouth, Sophie's heart warmed.

"Qiao Ran, your craftsmanship is getting better and better."

"Some idiot would praise me, it looks like my brain is burned out."

Qiao Ran occasionally showed a smile that was either calm or proud, and when he was with Sophie, he was mostly indulgent or ridiculed. He likes to see Sophie scrambled and unconvinced.

"People who can cook for stupid people are also stupid." Sophie had a serious look on her face.

Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing.

"Qiao Ran, will you always cook for me in the future?"

"Your brain is really burned out, I don't cook, do you cook? There's only one kitchen at home, and if you blow it up, it's gone. ”

"If I have someone I like in the future, if he likes girls who are good at cooking, I will also learn ......"

"I don't know which unlucky guy will be liked by you, and it will affect the kitchen at home."

"You ......"

Under the light, Qiao Ran teased like an arrogant cat, wagging his tail to see that he was full of appearances. But Sophie didn't hate it, she looked at Qiao Ran's delicate facial features, and suddenly realized that just this face was enough to make her heart move.

"Qiao Ran, I like you."

She hugged Qiao Ran, put her arms around his neck, leaned on his ear and whispered in his ear.

His snort was steady, and his warm embrace was familiar and unfamiliar.

"I know."

No, you don't know.

I like you, not the kind of likes you think you have.

I like you, so I want to be with you forever.

I like you, so I don't want you to know.

That's fine, I like you, it's my secret.

"You're hot as a stove right now."

"It just so happens that your physique is cold, I'll give you warmth."

“……”

Before knowing the rules of the army, Sophie imagined countless occasions to confess to Qiao Ran: in the early morning after a rainy day, on a summer night when they were hanging out together, at the moment when the fireworks went off, at the school bonfire, while watching him cook, in the school library, on the way home together...... Now, these fantasies, Sophie has all been recycled, leaving no trace.

"Sophie, even if you go up and kiss him, he won't realize it."

She recalled what Ella said, the ghost made the gods, the action was one step faster than the consciousness, and she really dropped a dragonfly kiss on Qiao Ran's face.

Sophie's heart had never beaten so fast in fifteen years, and her face was like a ripe apple, and it was not clear if it was a fever or something else.

"I seem to be a little burned out......"

She let go of Qiao Ran and hurriedly covered her head with the quilt. Obviously, he once wanted Qiao Ran to discover his mind, but at this moment, he was a little afraid that he would really find out.

"How old is Miss Sophie?" His voice was still so calm and calm.

"Ten...... Fifteen years old. ”

"Isn't it time for you to understand what the difference between men and women is? Don't be like you were when you were a kid. ”

Sophie was both happy and annoyed.

Who is the one who doesn't open his mind?

In love, those who are angry, jealous, flustered, secretly competitive, and ready to move are all the first to be tempted.

But if Sophie removed the quilt at this moment and poked her head out, she would find that the abnormal flush on Qiao Ran's face had spread to her earlobes, and he turned his gaze away, trying to calm the restlessness in his heart.

Sophie and Qiao Ran are like the equator and the poles. One does not hide the warmth in his heart, and the other is good at wrapping the temperature of feelings, and when the two collide, one will always be shaken.

"Qiao Ran, will you partner with me in the future?"

"Nonsense, no one can take care of you except me......"

"So you care so much about me?"

"Because you're only causing trouble for others......"
