Living room.

Jiang Lan moved a small stool, supported his cheek with his left hand, and held a large roll of toilet paper in his right hand.

Opposite the coffee table, Xu Jing curled up on the sofa, wiping her tears aggrievedly.

In fact, she didn't want to cry that much...... I just feel that all the bad mood that I have been saving for several days has been released in this short time, and I can't control it when I cry.

Jiang Lan looked at the girl sitting in front of him crying, and his mood was complicated.

Seeing that she was crying so aggrieved, I don't know what happened to his daughter.

After she started crying, Jiang Lan didn't know how to coax her, and she couldn't leave her alone, so she had to sit on the sofa and cry slowly.

It was raining outside.

Two people sat opposite each other in the room, one crying and the other watching.

After a while, I don't know if it was raining heavily or the crying became quieter, and the two voices gradually blended together.

The girl slowly stopped wiping her tears, but she still lowered her head and twitched her body.

She quietly raised her head, wanting to see what Jiang Lan was doing, but she happened to meet his direct gaze.

"Finished crying?"

Xu Jing shuddered when she heard his questioning voice, and quickly lowered her head, ready to continue crying.

"Don't cry."

Jiang Lan raised his voice and commanded.

Xu Jing really didn't dare to cry, she pursed her mouth aggrievedly, and there was a big red and swollen circle around her eyes.

Jiang Lan was a little happy.

It didn't work to comfort her before, but now it works to scare her, what kind of strange attribute is this?

Not to mention, it's fun.

"Don't look down, look at me."

Jiang Lan held back a smile and continued to order with a straight face.

Xu Jing was startled, and really raised her head, but she still didn't dare to look at him. But she didn't dare to look anywhere else, and a pair of eyes only had him as the axis......

“……”

“……”

"Why don't you look at me? Is it because I'm ugly? ”

“？”

Xu Jing didn't expect him to say this at all, and was so anxious that she waved her hand again and again: "No, no!" ”

"Actually, you think I'm handsome, don't you?"

"......" Xu Jing didn't dare to speak, and nodded timidly.

"Since I'm so handsome, you just look at it openly, what are you doing secretly, I don't mind."

“(·△·)？”

The girl can't fix him directly. But he seemed to have a real point, and he seemed to have no way to refute it......

Xu Jing then looked at him boldly.

Jiang Lan is right, he is indeed very handsome. Although it is not so "perfect", it is quite distinctive, with three-dimensional facial features, a divine gaze, and a rebellious temperament between the eyebrows, but it is not frivolous.

It was the first time Xu Jing looked at his face so clearly.

At one point, she even felt that it was okay to be bullied by him......

Jiang Lan enjoyed the girl's longing gaze, and of course her heart was also dark.

As a hexagonal teenager with noble morality, handsomeness, good study, and strong sports, he also admits that he is indeed full of charm, second only to the kind of book friends in the comment area, and there is no way to attract girls.

Of course, that's just to open up the situation, but he's not thick-skinned.

Seeing that Xu Jing was not as nervous as before, Jiang Lan tore a few frames of toilet paper and handed it to her.

Xu Jing noticed that there were still tears on her face, and carefully took the tissue.

"Thank you......"

The girl's voice is soft and glutinous, with a little crisp feeling, which is unexpectedly good.

Jiang Lan held his chin and watched Xu Jing wipe away her tears and look at him cautiously. The crumpled tissues didn't dare to throw them away, and they were held in her arms with both hands.

But this time she didn't keep her head down.

Jiang Lan breathed a sigh of relief and looked into her eyes: "You see that is so, although we are in common trouble at the moment, it is useless to escape and be nervous, we need to face it, what do you say?" ”

Jiang Lan's voice was low and a little magnetic, as if it was a little milder than usual.

The girl nodded vigorously, and her expression was super serious.

"Good. So – how much do you know about distance locking? Try to tell me everything you know. ”

Xu Jing then told the story of the incident one by one.

When she felt that she was speaking a little slowly, she would nervously glance at Jiang Lan's eyes, and when she found that he did not look impatient, she would quietly breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Jing spoke very carefully—but she didn't tell him that the apple was given by herself.

"I guess I understand."

Jiang Lan nodded.

According to Xu Jing's description, the two are not equal in status in the distance lock: he will not notice anything unusual, but Xu Jing will follow him uncontrollably. As for the upper limit of the distance lock, it seems to be constant at the moment, which is five to six meters.

"However, you said that the lockdown was lifted after a while, but not today? Why? ”

"I don't know."

Xu Jing hung her head with some reproach, rubbing the talisman on her wrist uneasily.

"Well, that's okay too."

Jiang Lan held his chin and thought for a moment.

"According to you, the two of us can be separated by five to six meters at the farthest. Then let's try to stay as usual, not to disturb each other, and draw a clear line. The trouble is, it's currently unknown when this distance lock will be lifted. ”

"That's it, if you can't get rid of it tonight, you can sleep here for one night, anyway, the second bedroom is empty, and it doesn't matter if you live there. When it's lifted, you go home. Is that okay? ”

Xu Jing nodded vigorously.

Jiang Lan planned very well, and she didn't have any opinions. Even if she really has an opinion, she is embarrassed to say that this is someone's home after all......

Even if he really wanted to snatch her shoes, there was nothing she could do......

"Okay, that's it."

Jiang Lan snapped his fingers and got up to go to the kitchen.

Xu Jing cautiously raised her hand: "Is it okay for me to call my mother?" Mom is still waiting for me at home......"

"Hit."

While talking, Jiang Lan had already come out of the kitchen with a bucket of instant noodles, and when he saw the girl on the sofa, he went back and got another bucket.

"Can you eat instant noodles? Or can I order you a takeout? ”

"Huh? No, no need to order takeout! I-"

"Okay, then instant noodles."

Jiang Lan got her "permission" and neatly entered the kitchen. Instant noodles are good, they can be made and eaten quickly, and you can go to study after eating, which greatly saves time and cost. It seems that Xu Jing also understands this truth, and it is not difficult to get along with people who understand.

He felt like he could do it again. Even if all kinds of unbelievable things happened today, it couldn't disrupt his learning rhythm!

Roll everyone to death, starting with instant noodles!

……

Xu Jing watched him busy and timidly withdrew his half-stretched hand.

In fact, she wanted to say that she didn't have to order takeout or eat instant noodles. But Jiang Lan has already gone to soak, and now it doesn't seem good for her to refuse.

I'll pay him later...... It's better not to trouble him in the future.

Xu Jing subconsciously puffed out her mouth.

The phone showed that the other party was ringing, and she hurriedly put the phone to her ear.

……

"Hello? Baby? ”

Seconds later, a gentle woman's voice came from the other end of the line. The girl only felt a sour nose and a pain in her throat as if she was stuck in something.

"Baby? It's raining outside, where are you going? Mom made you somen noodles. ”

"Mom's ......"

Xu Jing tried to keep her voice calm: "I...... I'm playing with my classmates and I'll be back later...... Maybe I won't go back. ”

“……”

Silent.

A few seconds later, there was another gentle laugh on the other end of the line.

"That's good, which classmate's house are you playing in?"

"Jiang ...... Uh, no! ”

The girl glanced at him in the kitchen, her head spinning quickly.

"Play at Wu Jiayan's house."

"Oh~ that's good, that's good. Then you have fun with your classmates, and don't fall behind in your studies. Have fun, goodbye baby~"

"Goodbye Mommy......"

Xu Jing did not take the initiative to hang up the phone, and her mother did not take the initiative to hang up the phone. Both of them waited for a while, and finally it was the mother who smiled and hung up the phone.

Mom is happy to have classmates playing with her.

Xu Jing was extremely uncomfortable.

Most of the students in Huaishi No. 1 Middle School are boarding students, and she is no exception, and she is at school from Monday to Friday. Mom usually runs a restaurant by herself, and she can only go back to share the work for her mother on weekends and two days.

I can't go back on weekends now.

And she had a hunch that the distance lock would not be lifted soon, and it would last for a long time, during which she could only get along with Jiang Lan.

Xu Jing was a little nervous.

Jiang Lan seemed to be a person who liked to be alone, and he definitely didn't like her to stay by his side......

Woo, do your best to listen to him!

"Xu Jing?"

He spoke!

The girl quickly sat upright, and her ears stood up.

"Did you finish calling? The noodles are ready to eat. ”

"Oooh!"
