The sky is also gloomy today, and I don't know if it will rain later.

On the way to the cafeteria, Xu Jing timidly looked at the sky with dark lights flickering.

She is actually quite a timid girl, and she is even afraid of cloudy days. When she was a child, when she was alone at home and encountered a cloudy and rainy day, she would shrink into the bed and dare not come out. If it thunders, it will be even more terrifying, and you may be scared to cry.

If mom or dad were home, she would burrow into their arms – preferably both of them, of course, so she wouldn't be scared to get between them.

"Boom ......"

A dull thunder rolled through the sky.

Xu Jing subconsciously shrank her neck and hid behind Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan was curious: "What are you doing?" ”

Xu Jing was a little embarrassed, so she had to look at him pitifully.

“……”

“……”

“…… You're not afraid of thunder, are you? ”

The girl nodded unproductively.

Jiang Lan seemed to sigh, but he didn't laugh at her, and then turned his head away.

Not...... He didn't seem to refuse......

Xu Jing didn't care, since Jiang Lan didn't refuse, it meant that she could hide behind him.

The girl then shrunk into a ball and followed behind Jiang Lan with peace of mind, still holding Jiang Lan's big water cup in her arms.

Really, alas, hiding behind Jiang Lan will not be afraid anymore.

Jiang Lan is very tall, but not as tall as a thin bamboo pole, but the kind of height that will give people a sense of security.

Although he usually has no expression, and sometimes his face is strained, it is because of this that he gives her a very reliable feeling.

When she shrank behind him, Xu Jing had a magical confidence, even if the whole world wanted to unite to bully her, she would not be afraid.

If it rains outside when she is at home in the future, she can also get into Jiang Lan's arms and rub her head against him like a kitten......

Belch! What was I thinking!

The girl's face suddenly became hot, and her head burned like an overloaded CPU......

Come back to your senses.

Jiang Lan's back was still in front of her, blocking the wind and darkness of the world.

Being protected by him like this, Xu Jing was very satisfied and very disappointed.

It's a pity that they are just ordinary friends now, if ......

The girl herself shook her head at herself.

What the hell was she thinking?

Falling in love has always been a luxury, something that people like her can't reach. Regardless of whether Jiang Lan doesn't like her foolish bag, even if Jiang Lan is really broken, he has to like her......

She didn't have the courage to respond.

Jiang Lan is such an excellent boy, how can someone like her be expected?

In fact, it is very satisfying to be his ordinary friend......

Jiang Lan suddenly stopped.

The girl didn't bump into him this time—she threw herself on his back because she was so close.

Jiang Lan probably didn't expect her to be able to bump into her like this, and she was almost thrown away, so she hurriedly held on to the doorknob next to her.

Otherwise, it would have been a terrible fallover composition later, and even worse he'd be down there......

He reluctantly glanced back at the bag behind him.

Xu Jing lowered her head hesitantly: "Yes, I'm sorry......"

"It's fine."

Jiang Lan took his own water cup from her arms.

Xu Jing actually subconsciously hugged it tightly, as if she didn't want him to take it.

The two winked at each other briefly.

Xu Jing suddenly remembered that the water cup belonged to Jiang Lan, so she quickly released his water cup.

After the episode, the two entered the cafeteria.

The girl lowered her head, her mouth was so embarrassed that it turned into a moving wavy line, and her toes were picking at her shoes, and she was about to dig a small hole.

She thought that she must protect the water cup from being snatched away by others, but she didn't react when Jiang Lan took it, and she didn't let him take it...... He didn't misunderstand himself......

Jiang Lan suddenly stopped again.

Fortunately, Xu Jing was far away this time, although she was still distracted, but she reacted and didn't bump into it.

Not...... Pity.

I saw Jiang Lan take out his meal card: "Let's go, I'll invite you to lunch today." ”

"Huh?"

The girl blinked in surprise.

"You help me get the water cup back, and I'll treat you to a meal."

Jiang Lan explained to her why she wanted to invite her to dinner, and then walked directly to the front.

Must go ahead. Because...... Can't let her see herself blushing......

Jiang Lan didn't know why he was embarrassed because he was just inviting ordinary friends to dinner.

Could it be that subconsciously Xu Jing is no longer an ordinary friend?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Jiang Lan hurriedly shook his head. Recently, I feel that Xu Jing in my brain is getting more and more sticky, and I have to shake it hard to get rid of it.

Inadvertently over-shaken, Jiang Lan accidentally saw the girl behind him.

She was also looking at herself with her eyes open, like a danzi.

So Xu Jing, who was finally thrown out, stuck back......

Jiang Lan rolled his eyes helplessly at himself.

Well...... It's also normal, they have indeed interacted a little bit more recently, and it doesn't seem appropriate to define it as an ordinary friend.

But they're not good friends.

Well...... Then be good friends!

Yes, good friends.

Jiang Lan finally felt at ease.

"Young man, come to dinner!"

The canteen uncle has already recognized him, after all, there are really not many handsome guys like this.

I was wondering why the little girl didn't come, and a little head popped up after the back of the handsome guy.

The uncle's polite smile gradually distorted into an aunt's smile.

"Whatever you want to eat, pick it."

Jiang Lan let her come to the front. "You can also pick a slightly more expensive one."

"Hmm......"

Xu Jing nodded, but she still picked a cheap scrambled egg with tomatoes first, and then habitually looked at the cabbage and spicy tofu.

At this time, she remembered what Jiang Lan said, and quickly glanced back at Jiang Lan's expression.

Jiang Lan's expression was really a little helpless.

said that she was invited to dinner, but this bun still chose a scrambled egg with tomatoes first......

Xu Jing thought he was angry, and timidly turned her head away, not daring to look at the cheap dishes anymore.

The girl hesitated and looked at the more expensive dishes.

Braised pork, beef stew with potatoes, sloppy pork, pork ribs, large chicken thighs......

It's all good food, and she didn't even dare to look at it before. Otherwise, you will feel that the food you ordered will not taste good.

Sensing that saliva was about to pop out of the corners of her mouth, the girl quickly wiped it with her sleeve.

"Which one do you want to eat?"

"Hmm......"

The girl looked at the potato stew, then looked back at Jiang Lan, and didn't directly say that she wanted to eat it, but carefully patted the big iron plate with her claws.

Jiang Lan suddenly felt like a kitten in a documentary, running into someone's vegetable market, seeing a fish seller, she ran over to ask for fish to eat, and pointed to the fish she wanted with her claws with her boss.

A strange desire to bully her rose in my heart......

"But, can you eat it?"

"Eat, you can eat."

"Wow......"

The girl looked at Jiang Lan's generous appearance adoringly, and her eyes were full of small stars.

In the end, though, she ordered a potato beef stew — the cheapest of the meat dishes.

Jiang Lan was not surprised. He knew it was going to happen.

Well, fortunately it's not a monkey...... Otherwise, you must not slaughter him for thirty pieces first......
