The south wind blows into your heart

Chapter 2 Sugar
"Ah-"

Before going to sleep, Nan Xiao sneezed loudly while holding her mobile phone on the bed.

Ah Ruan went to lock the door while yawning, looked up and asked her, "Have you caught a cold?"

"No." Nan Xiao rubbed her nose, Qi Qiran said, "I'm afraid someone scolded me."

"Oh, you don't care about those people, it's so boring, whoever dares to bully you in the future, we will clean her up for you!" A Ruan turned off the lights, and the dormitory fell into silence.

After a long time, a voice came from Nan Xiao's bed: "Thank you."

The three of them laughed silently.They are not stupid. When Nan Xiao came back, her eyes were swollen. Any fool would know that she must have cried, but she didn't face them. The only reason was that she didn't want everyone to worry too much, so at A Ruan's suggestion, everyone They all pretended to be nonchalant, said what to say, cared about her silently, it was better than anything else.

Nan Xiao was editing the last line of text in the diary with her mobile phone in hand, when she suddenly received three new WeChat messages, which were sent almost at the same time, and even the content was exactly the same——

"Xiaoxiao, good night."

Her eyes became hot, and she took a deep breath.

"Good night, you too."

The soft choking sound floats in the small space, and through the gauze-like mosquito net, it nourishes every pure and soft heart. It is a rare pure land, where you can enjoy the sunshine and withstand electricity. Flash and thunder.

Nan Xiao looked at the glimmering phone screen, thought for a while, and decisively replaced the last line in the diary, "The night is very cold, I really hope that I can embrace the light when I wake up" with - that's great, no matter how deep You can see the light even at night.

Who said no.

In fact, even Nan Xiao herself couldn't remember exactly when she began to worship Lu Ran, a male god with many stars and moons.

The first time I heard this name was during a live interview in a science and technology innovation column in this city.At the scene of the international robotics competition, a young female reporter excitedly raised the microphone in front of a tired boy with unruly eyes, and asked him how he felt about winning the gold medal on behalf of the Chinese team.

Everyone thought that he would thank his parents according to the routine, and then fight for the younger generations, but his answer was absolutely shocking.

"My feeling is probably that I will never participate in this kind of competition again in the future."

The female reporter was a little surprised: "The gold award this time can send you to K University, why don't you want to participate again?"

"Guaranteed?" Lu Ran obviously showed a puzzled expression, and said frankly, "I don't need to be recommended, I can pass the exam. Let's leave the opportunity to those who need it."

There was a commotion at the scene.

The corner of the female reporter's mouth was twitching: "In that case, can you tell everyone, what wish do you hope can be realized?"

Lu Dashen blinked his panda-like dark circles, stretched his waist, and said solemnly: "I just want to go back and have a good sleep, really."

……

The description of being young and frivolous was not placed on Lu Ran's head after all, because he is not crazy, but really superior in strength. If others dare to say that, they will probably be drowned by saliva from all directions within two days, and he But because it's too good, I feel it should be taken for granted.In the end, the facts were exactly as he said, Lu Ran voluntarily gave up the qualification to be sent to K University, got in with his super strength, and continued his ordinary life.

At that time, Nan Xiao had just entered the third year of high school and was facing tremendous pressure.As an old employee who has been working on the Internet for many years, his father always talks about Lu Ran’s name every day, praising him for how great he is. After listening to it for a long time, Nan Xiao subconsciously accepts this fact automatically, and then accidentally gets it. Knowing some of Lu Ran's glorious deeds, he naturally admires this senior who is a year older than himself.

But this is just a pure worship stage. If you like it, I'm afraid you have to start with that incident.

In a deep sleep, Nan Xiao once again dreamed of the night before filling out the application form for the college entrance examination.

Chen Meng, the best friend of Nanxiao High School, called her out, took a taxi mysteriously, and came to the gate of K, saying that she planned to do an earth-shattering event, which was to confess her love to Senior Lu Ran.

"Lu Ran?"

"Yes, it's Lu Ran, the great computer god who won the gold medal in the robot competition. I want to confess my love to him."

Nan Xiao was extremely surprised, because she never imagined what it would be like to stand side by side with such a person.

However, Chen Meng obviously didn't think so much.

"I really like him. I've liked him since the first time we met in high school. If I don't confess my love now, I won't have the chance to go to another school in the future. Nan Xiao, I don't want to regret it!"

Nan Xiao's heart moved slightly: "Okay, then confess, I support you unconditionally."

Chen Meng gave her a big bear hug, and walked into the reception room with her head held high. She didn't know what she said to the security guard, but soon the other party picked up the phone receiver.

After a while, a thin and tall figure came from the dark night.

The hot evening wind changed direction and teased his face. The white T-shirt on his body was full of wind, and it swayed left and right with the steps under his feet.

For a moment, Nan Xiao was dumbfounded, and couldn't think of any adjectives except for the word "amazing".

With one hand in his pocket, he stopped at K's gate, looking sleepy.

Chen Meng blushed and ran towards the boy.

Nan Xiao stared blankly in the distance, and suddenly admired Chen Meng's courage. She thought, if it was her at this moment, she might not dare to approach that direction at all.

He is so perfect.

During the whole confession process, Lu Ran never opened his mouth, but quietly tilted his head to listen to what Chen Meng said.Chen Meng on the opposite side was very excited, and recited the prepared confession verbatim. Because he was too nervous, he looked like a robot doll, his whole body was stiff.

Nan Xiao sweated for her.

After the 10-minute confession, Chen Meng presented a cake made by himself.

Lu Ran paused, but did not answer.

"Finished?"

"Well, it's over."

"How do you want me to answer?"

Both Chen Meng and Nan Xiao who was hiding aside were taken aback.

"What the senior wants to say, just...just say it."

"Okay." Lu Ran nodded and smiled, expressing his relief for her blunt words.

He bowed his head and thought for a moment, Nan Xiao thought he was preparing a long speech, maybe he was admonishing Chen Meng to focus on his studies, or tactfully refusing to speak, not accepting it, just like the interview with the female TV reporter, Lu Ran's answer Nan Xiao was deeply impressed.

"Your confession and cake are so boring, so I'm sorry."

Nan Xiao didn't remember how she sent Chen Meng home in the end, she only knew that she cried all the way, miserable and helpless, she kept asking her: "Xiaoxiao, am I really bad?"

Nan Xiao was speechless and could only hug her to comfort her.

Perhaps to Lu Ran, this is no big deal, but what he denied was Chen Meng's efforts and intentions, which made Nan Xiao feel blocked.

Early the next morning, while her parents were still sound asleep, she filled in K University in the college entrance examination volunteer column.

Not knowing whether it was naive arrogance, or a stubborn temper that wanted to get to the bottom of a matter, she decided to come to K University to see how superior he really is.

However, the reality soon told Nan Xiao that he was unattainable.

I remember the day when she first entered school, she carried a huge suitcase, took the admission notice to complete the admission procedures, and began to search for the dormitory, but her sense of direction was too poor, so she had to turn to the security guard for help.

"Oh, Building No. 5 in Qingyuan District, it's not far away, you just go straight ahead, then turn left, if you can't find it, just stop a passerby and ask, where does Lu Ran, a second-year student from the Department of Computer Science, live? Yes, you are on the opposite floor."

……

This fame has spread so far that it is difficult for her not to ignore it.

Nan Xiao nodded lazily, and continued walking in the direction pointed by the security uncle. As expected, she lost her way halfway, so she stopped a tired middle-aged man in embarrassment and asked him the direction of the dormitory building. .

"Excuse me, do you know where Lu Ran, a second-year student in the Department of Computer Science, lives?" She still didn't believe it, and any passer-by could know it?
"You mean Lu Ran? You must know it. Look, is there a flagpole over there... Yes, after walking over there, turn right, there is a small road, turn left again, and you will find Lu Ran's dormitory building."

From then on, Nan Xiao never doubted Lu Ran's fame.

Chen Meng went to a liberal arts school far away, and Nan Xiao also started her busy life of science and engineering.

Occasionally on campus, he would be lucky enough to pass by Lu Ran, but he may not remember his appearance for a long time. That night when he confessed to Chen Meng, she always stood in the distance and never approached. Presumably he didn't pay attention at all. arrive.

During the freshman military training, the girls in the same battalion had already lined up, vying to start courting a certain god. Nan Xiao even suspected that most of the girls were admitted to K University because of Lu Ran.

Nan Xiao didn't want to admit that she liked her.

Be silent, just be silent, otherwise you will betray Chen Meng and make yourself unhappy?
However, the trigger for the "Confession Gate" incident was the awards ceremony held at the University Student Activity Center a month ago. Nan Xiao heard that Lu Ran was the protagonist, so she couldn't help rushing over. During the intermission, she arrived Looking for the restroom backstage, it was a coincidence that I saw another embarrassing confession.

The girl is young and immature, she should be a freshman, with a ponytail and a huge bouquet of roses in her arms, shyly saying "I like you" to Lu Ran.

The ending is much the same.

"Your confession and roses are so boring, so I'm sorry."

……

Nan Xiao began to suspect that Lu Ran was an emotionless weirdo with only cold computer codes in his mind.

What kind of confession can catch Lu Dashen's eyes?
So after the extreme struggle and entanglement, Nan Xiao decided to hide behind the screen and use the most innovative way she could think of to make a confession that shocked the whole school, so that Lu Ran could know that there are thousands of ways to confess, But everyone's heart is very precious and cannot be trampled on at will.

Then... let's play big.

It was a dark night's sleep.

There was no class the next morning. According to the usual habits, the four people in the dormitory would sleep until they woke up naturally, and then they would take turns going downstairs to buy food to solve everyone's food problems.

Today it was Er Mi's turn, but Nan Xiao was woken up by a strong shake.

"Xiaoxiao get up quickly, something has happened." Er Mi stretched out her hand to pull her quilt.

"What are you doing..." Nan Xiao was in a drowsy sleep, and pulled back the quilt with a loud cry. The two of them were in a stalemate. Soon, the chatter woke up the girls on the other two beds.

Ah Ruan lifted the mosquito net impatiently, and complained in this direction: "Whoever buys breakfast is different?"

"It's not buying breakfast, it's online, online!" Ermi beat her chest and stamped her feet, with an anxious expression on her face, "Xiaoxiao, turn on your computer quickly, someone has hacked into the homepage of our school's official website and posted some...not very good things."

The appearance of Er Mi's hesitation to speak gave Nan Xiao a bad feeling in his heart.

She got up quickly, jumped out of bed in three steps at a time, opened her laptop, and went straight to the school's official website.

As soon as the interface was refreshed, there was a video of the same 2 minutes and 37 seconds long. Although the picture was rough, the content was quite explosive. Nan Xiao's name was posted bluntly, and there was even a photo, but with freckles and narrowed eyes , and added two big buck teeth, which was not fun, and aimed at her computer technology, unabashedly mocking her as a rookie without self-knowledge, which is the biggest shame in the history of the computer department.

There is not a single dirty word in the whole process, but every sentence pokes my heart.

Nan Xiao felt that the blood in her whole body was flowing backward rapidly, and her hands and feet began to become cold.

She didn't know who made this video, let alone how many times it had been played on the homepage in a loop, how many people had seen it, even spread it, and commented unscrupulously.

Her heart was so congested that she couldn't breathe, Nan Xiao's mind went blank, the other three wanted to comfort her, but they didn't know what to say, so they could only silently stay behind her.

Soon there were screams one after another in the corridor, some excited and some doubtful, no less than the shocking effect of what she did that night.

"Xiaoxiao, who did this..." Qianqian held Nan Xiao's hand with red eyes.

She shook her head in despair, clueless.

"Oh, I have a bad temper!" Ah Ruan kicked the door, scratching his head angrily, "I think it's probably from the art department, what's it called, Lin Zhiyu? The department can't afford it, how could it be so? A bully. Let's go, Xiaoxiao, let's settle the score with her!"

Nan Xiao sat without moving, and was stunned.

Under the anxious urging of several people, the computer screen suddenly flickered, and the vicious video disappeared, replaced by a promotional advertisement of the school science and technology association.

"Do you want to challenge yourself and keep studying? Do you want to break out of the siege and stand out from the crowd? Do you want to have a high-end and high-end university life? Then come and join the school science and technology association and fight side by side with Lu Ran! "

After finishing, I also posted a photo of Lu Ran's head shot secretly taken somewhere, the pixels are extremely low, but the effect is excellent.

……

This time, the trainer did not catch the murderer at the speed of sprinting [-] meters. He only determined that the general area was in Qingyuan District, but he could not find out which dormitory building or which dormitory.

"The instructor shouted in the grade group." Qianqian pulled her braid and pointed her phone at everyone, "Let the person who posted the video take the initiative to admit his mistake and apologize to Xiaoxiao."

Nan Xiao twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment.

is it possible?
The person who can do this kind of thing pretends to be so good, isn't it just to humiliate her?How could he take the initiative to admit his mistake.

Sure enough, there was a dead silence in the grade group, and no one answered at all.

Nan Xiao soon received a call from the instructor. While comforting her, the instructor hoped that she could provide some clues to see who was the most likely initiator of this incident. The school will definitely uphold justice for her.

"Xiaoxiao, hurry up, tell me it's Lin Zhiyu." A Ruan kept winking at her.

Nan Xiao was silent for a moment, and after a strong ideological struggle, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you instructor for your concern, I can't think of anyone who would do such a thing, it's probably a misunderstanding, let's not pursue it any further."

The trainer was obviously taken aback for a while, and then said "hmm" after a while.

"Then let the management personnel of the safety center continue to investigate. It is necessary to pursue accountability. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. It is beyond my expectation that you can think so. Last time, the teacher was so angry that he shouldn't say that about you. ,study hard."

"Thank you instructor."

At the end of the call, Ah Ruan couldn't understand Nan Xiao's thoughts.

"Xiaoxiao, why did you promise us yesterday? Be brave, be brave!"

"Forget it, pack up, let's go downstairs and have dinner together."

"Nan Xiao!"

"If you don't go, I'll go alone." She got up quickly, rushed to the bathroom with the washbasin in her arms, and came back 5 minutes later, with wet bangs stuck to her forehead, and hurriedly began to change clothes.

The three of them watched her silently, until at a certain moment, when the silence became unbearable, Ah Ruan kicked the door panel.

"Walk, go, go down and eat with her!"

The three of them came out one file at a time, Ah Ruan pointed at Nan Xiao's nose and scolded her for being worthless, but Nan Xiao felt less uncomfortable.

It seems that Lu Ran is indeed out of reach.

It is a good habit to retreat in the face of difficulties.

At the end of the last class in the afternoon, Nan Xiao rejected the three people's offer to help clean the north playground, and went there alone with the broom.

The sky was gray, and the thick clouds were extremely low, as if it was going to rain.

The number of students doing sports is obviously much less than yesterday, and the basketball court next door is rarely quiet. Without Lu Ran, no one seems willing to stay there any longer.

A few sporadic international exchange students are not afraid of the weather conditions. They play football on the grass in the center of the playground, take a shot, and the ball is scored. Open your hands and raise your arms and shout, as if you are the well-deserved protagonist of the football field.

Nan Xiao watched the football for a while, but she didn't quite understand it, so she lowered her head and started sweeping the floor silently.

"Why is there no help today?"

A question floated faintly above his head, like a voice from heaven.

She raised her head, looked over the rostrum, and met the eyes of the boy lying lazily on the guardrail.

Nan Xiao noticed that a cross-body schoolbag was quietly leaning against his feet. From the looks of it, Lu Ran should have been here for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have left the schoolbag on the ground.

"I don't want them to come. I can handle this matter myself."

"Yo, don't you want to, or don't you dare?" Lu Ran told her lie, "You are afraid that they will encounter the same thing as you, right?"

Nan Xiao's heart skipped a beat, she sniffed, and looked away.

"Don't admit it?" Lu Ran smiled, grabbed the railing with one hand, jumped down from the top, and jumped onto the rostrum.He leaned over, lowered his head, and his clear eyes fixed on Nan Xiao's face.

Don't panic, it's fake.

She subconsciously took a step back, trying to escape, but the moment she decided to turn around, she stopped the car.

"We've met... before?" Lu Ran said.

"No, absolutely not." Nan Xiao denied without thinking.

"That's it, then what you said last night, dare to love is a dream?"

last night?

What did she say last night?

Nan Xiao wanted to play dumb, but Lu Ran was not easy to fool.

"You used to be from the High School Affiliated to K University, and I saw you as a flag bearer."

……

"The friend you mentioned last night is called Chen Meng, right? You accompanied her to confess your love."

……

"Don't talk about it. Thinking about it this way, have we actually met each other? Then tell me, what kind of mood do you have when you look at me, the senior of your direct line?"

……

It's over, it's all exposed, Nan Xiao feels that she has lost all face in her life.She was holding the broom, her palms ached from the rough hemp rope, and her eyes were erratic.

"You are my idol." Nan Xiao was a little embarrassed, but she still forgot to add, "It was just before, not now."

Lu Ran raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Nan Xiao answered truthfully: "Because I wanted to get good grades in the third year of high school, so my father asked me to learn from you, but now there is no need for the college entrance examination."

Lu Ran couldn't laugh or cry: "Then what is it now?"

Nan Xiao bit her lips: "It's just... a high-ranking senior."

She used the word "superior", which made Lu Ran frown slightly.He didn't intend to ask anything when he came today, he just wanted to see if she was affected by what happened in the morning, but now it seems that her opinion of himself is beyond his imagination.

Lu Ran never felt that he was superior.

"Have you ever looked in the mirror?" he asked suddenly.

Nan Xiao raised her head and nodded in confusion: "Yes."

"Then do you think the person in the mirror must be exactly the same as the real self?"

"I have no idea."

"Then let me tell you, it's different." Lu Ran put his elbows on the railing and looked into the distance, "How can a person see through others when he can't even see himself clearly? So don't be fooled by the illusions you imagined. It's not a good thing to be deceived." Lu Ran walked up the steps and picked up his satchel.

Nan Xiao was still savoring his words, half understanding.

Lu Ran walked slowly past her, paused, and said: "Don't worry about the sky, no matter how fierce the rumors are, they are nothing more than a few rumors, just for conversation after dinner. Your foundation is not bad, but there is a problem with your method. If you don’t believe me, you can endure what happened in the morning, if you need it, you can always consider coming to the Science and Technology Association of the school, and I will take you personally.”

Nan Xiao shook her head, her attitude was firm: "I won't go."

Getting close to him would be in danger of ruining his reputation, let alone bringing it in person, so as not to be gossiped again, she didn't want to cause trouble again.

Lu Ran had already guessed what she was thinking, and chuckled softly: "Why, are you scared? Don't be nervous, I just want to help. If you are willing to be a technical scum, then I didn't say anything."

Slinging the schoolbag on his shoulders, Lu Ran left gracefully, but the words he said lingered in his ears for a long time and could not be dispelled.

Technical scum... the devil is willing to continue to be scum.

"I will work hard myself, and sooner or later I will surpass you, just wait and see!" Nan Xiao punched and kicked that tall and tall figure, attracting the surprised eyes of the foreign students playing football.

Lu Ran lowered his head and pursed his lips, his smile deepening.

Some people, tsk tsk, have to be forced to do this, otherwise they may be completely depraved.

There is a saying that goes well, the road you choose, you have to walk on your knees.Nan Xiao looked at a bunch of Internet technology tutorials in pure English in front of her, and suddenly felt that she had talked too much?

K University has the most majestic library in this city. It is not only the appearance, but also the interior space. It is seven floors high and can accommodate nearly 4 people at the same time. In addition to the popular library, the self-study room is also often full.

Ever since she boasted about Haikou in front of Lu Ran, Nan Xiao has been depressed all day long. After two days of not thinking about tea and food, she resolutely went to the library to queue up for a fixed seat in the self-study room. Die-hard roommates, who ran alone to enjoy the ocean of knowledge.

It's just that she seems to have forgotten that she can't "swim"...

"Senior sister, you are really good." The freshman girl next door looked at Nan Xiao adoringly, and pointed to the book in front of her, "It's all in English, and it's hard for me to read it."

Yeah, it's hard to read!
Nan Xiao roared inwardly.

It’s not that she is not good at English, she is also a person with close to full marks in English in the college entrance examination, but there are too many professional terms in this kind of book, so I have to look it up every few paragraphs, and I have to put it in different contexts to feel it.Besides, English before university was born for exams, who wants to get these?She always thought that if she passed CET-[-] and CET-[-], she could declare the end of her English journey.

In order to establish her image as a high school senior, the corners of Nan Xiao's mouth twitched, showing a calm look: "Ah, it's nothing, I'll get used to it after watching too much."

The little girl's eyes lit up instantly: "Sister is so good, can you help me with this programming question? It's an additional question, and I want to score."

Nan Xiao's heart skipped a beat, she weighed a few pounds, she was as bright as a mirror, as long as it was a topic that appeared in the book, everything would be fine if she memorized it, after all, her advantage was memory, not comprehension.

"Don't worry, let me take a look..." She took a deep breath, took the topic, and stared at it for a few minutes, but her whole body was not feeling well.

Are you sure this is for a freshman?

"Well, this question is not difficult, but I have to check the information, some things are not clear, can you wait for me?"

The little girl nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Sister, hurry up and come back, be careful on the road."

Nan Xiao maintained an elegant smile, and walked out of the study room calmly. As soon as she turned around, the smile on her face collapsed, and she slapped her trouser pocket, laughing was uglier than crying.

Oops, I forgot my phone, how can I install it?
Now go back and ask for help with your mobile phone, wouldn't you tear down your desk?
What a shame.

Just at the very moment, a slender figure with a halo came out from the elevator opposite, and instantly won the hearts of countless fans.

Nan Xiao's attention was rather strange. He noticed that he had changed into a pair of Adidas blade shoes. Compared with yesterday, the height difference between them had widened a bit.

Is Lu Ran this tall?In the previous two close encounters, one was when he was sitting and the other was when he was standing on the rostrum, Nan Xiao couldn't feel such an obvious height difference.

But it's different now.He just walked towards him nonchalantly. The closer he got, the higher Nan Xiao's neck was raised, and his head was almost congested with blood.

"Hi..." Nan Xiao raised her hand and greeted him stiffly.

Lu Ran stopped, looked around in confusion, and finally slid down quietly, with his head lowered deeply, his eyes were puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized: "So you are so short."

……

"Almost missed."

Lu Ran raised the corner of his mouth, showing a smile that couldn't be more kind.

Nan Xiao always felt that his smile was malicious.

"It's a coincidence that Lu Dashen is also learning from himself." Nan Xiao looked at the tutorial book in his arms that was about to reach the same height as herself, and laughed dryly.

Lu Ran shook his head: "I'm here to return the book."

Nan Xiao was shocked and said, "There are so many... How long have you been watching?"

"Two weeks."

"all?"

"Well, all."

Nan Xiao couldn't believe what she heard, this guy is from Mars!
"Looking so fast, are you sure you can remember it?"

Lu Ran was surprised, and asked her back: "Why should I remember?"

"If you don't remember, doesn't that mean you didn't watch it?"

"Reading a book is not an endorsement, no wonder you are a scumbag."

Lu Ran once again showed a smile that couldn't be more kind.This time Nan Xiao was very sure that he had malicious intentions.

The conversation between the two of them as if no one else was there caused dissatisfaction among some of Lu Ran's followers, especially after they recognized Nan Xiao, the discussion became much louder.In the vortex of public opinion, it was always uncomfortable, Nan Xiao tactfully kept her mouth shut, making way for the Great God.

Just as Lu Ran took a few steps, she suddenly thought of something, and chased after her: "Well, can you help me with this programming problem?"

Lu Ran stopped in his tracks and glanced down: "In library 306 on the third floor, there is a copy of "C primer plus" in the fifth row of area B, and there is a case analysis of this question in Chapter 2."

Is it so godlike?Nan Xiao didn't believe in evil, so she took the elevator and went straight to the third floor. Sure enough, she found the book Lu Ran was talking about in the library of 306. When she turned to Chapter 2, she saw the exact same title as her own, with English letters one by one The dance of hands and feet jumped on the paper, as if mocking her mercilessly.

For some reason, a fire of fighting spirit burned in his chest.This is a feeling I haven’t felt for a long time. The last time was before the college entrance examination, my father pointed to someone’s name on TV and said, “Learn from him, this is a talent, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future.”

At the beginning, she was also the "child of other people" in the mouth of those parents. She studied hard and was always the first person to finish reciting English texts.Ever since Lu Ran appeared, she had a goal and a direction to pursue. She entered K University in a daze, and found that the gap between people is simply worlds apart.When she was still worrying about not being able to read the pure English course, someone had already rummaged through these.

Holding her breath in her heart, Nan Xiao borrowed all the stack of books that Lu Ran was holding just now by relying on her memory.

At the service desk, the staff member was an elderly lady, who held up a barcode reader and confirmed to Nan Xiao again: "Do you have to borrow all these at once?"

"Yeah." She nodded without hesitation.

"Strange, I thought it was the student named Lu Ran who was strict with himself, but it turned out to be a task assigned by the teacher!"

The code reader mechanically read the information of each book, Nan Xiao wanted to explain, but gave up after thinking about it.

"Thank you."

She picked up the books, took the elevator back to the study room on the sixth floor, solved the additional problem for the girl next door, and then placed the new stack of tutorials next to the old one, rolled up her sleeves and looked at it seriously .

The eyeballs of the little girl next door are about to pop out, the senior is really working hard...

What Nan Xiao didn't notice was that, two rows away from the diagonally behind, a certain man was spinning a gel pen in a calm manner, glanced at Nan Xiao, then at her desk, shook his head with a helpless smile, Get up and leave quietly.

The good learning time always flies by.

Nan Xiao gnawed on the book in her arms like a fascination, and in a blink of an eye, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.At this time, the cafeteria might not have enough food, so it seems that they can only take a detour to the snack street next to the school to make do with it.

Nan Xiao thought about it, it was already so late anyway, and she wasn't afraid to be an hour late.This Friday, the library closes at nine o'clock. She came here after giving up the nourishing life of going to the cinema with her three roommates. No matter what, she had to make enough money, so she rubbed her face and cheered up to continue fighting .

The older and younger girl next door went to eat early and never came back, until the classic saxophone solo "Going Home" sounded in the library, she ran over in a hurry, holding a stack of books in her hands, her face full of joy. With a flowery smile.

"Sister!"

Nan Xiao was taken aback by her, and raised her head blankly: "You borrowed these?"

The little girl nodded.

"Can you finish watching?"

Nan Xiao suddenly felt a sense of guilt, did she put too much pressure on the first-year students?If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have borrowed all the books at once.

The little girl looked indifferent, and pushed the book in front of her with a smile: "Senior sister reads it, not me, that's it. My task is completed, senior sister goodbye!" After finishing speaking, the little girl jumped up and down. left.

At the moment, Nan Xiao’s desk looks like this: a stack of pure English books that she found extremely difficult after she borrowed them, a stack of Internet tutorials that peeked at Lu Ran’s book list, and a stack of professional books that were inexplicably stuffed by school girls. reading material.

Nan Xiao suddenly felt a pain in her head... But the stack that the schoolgirl stuffed was pretty good to be honest, it was in Chinese and English, the content was not particularly profound, and it was very easy to read, it could kill the endless pain caused by the first two stacks. and torture.After weighing again and again, Nan Xiao finally decided to give up the accumulation of difficulty, and it is better to start with the most simple and easy-to-understand knowledge.

At the service desk, the aunt who handled the borrowing procedures for her not long ago had a complicated expression, both surprised and confused.

"It's over so soon?"

The corners of Nan Xiao's mouth twitched in embarrassment: "Well, it's over."

"Current students..." The aunt held up the barcode reader, shaking her head while recycling brand-new books. Obviously, such an answer did not have much credibility.

"I'm sorry to cause you trouble." Nan Xiao obediently handed over the borrowing card, apologizing repeatedly.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, whoever asks me to do this, and ah, you are not the only one who borrows books like this, the one named Lu Ran borrowed books twice in a row today, but in the end he couldn't take it, and asked a young girl to hug him up."

Nan Xiao froze for a moment, something flashed through her mind.

She was staring at the toe of the somewhat whitish canvas shoes in a daze, the aunt called her twice before she realized, took the borrowing card, thanked her and left.

I do not know when it began to rain outside.The weather forecast started reminding everyone to bring umbrellas three days ago. Nanxiao took umbrellas for two days, but the annoyance was that the sky was clear, so she decided not to bring them today, but it rained.

Still torrential rain.

The dull thunder is rumbling in the sky, the bean-sized raindrops are crackling down, and the wind blowing on the face is humid, wrapped in a strong earthy smell, and has the most primitive taste of nature.There are thousands of lights in the distance, and the hazy rain curtain lies in the gray area of ​​tranquility and impetuosity, sometimes big and sometimes small.

Nan Xiao and several other students who were also alone gathered under the eaves of the door, and began to call for help, but unfortunately she couldn't find a suitable person, because the three people who were most likely to bring her umbrellas in such a heavy rain were sitting at the moment In the huge movie theater, eating popcorn and drinking Coke.She couldn't bear to disturb their leisure time, although she knew that as long as she made a phone call, they would definitely come over.

She stretched out her hand and tested the size of the rain. It took only a few seconds. When she retracted it, her whole arm was wet and even a little cold.

"Is there no one to pick you up?" The last girl next to her took the umbrella from her boyfriend and handed it to her, "Why don't you use this one first, and I'll ask my boyfriend to go back again!"

Nan Xiao waved her hands again and again: "It doesn't matter, I have already contacted someone, and I will have an umbrella soon."

"really?"

"Well, really, thank you."

The girl was still a little worried, and before leaving, she told Nan Xiao to be careful, and Nan Xiao was very grateful.So, in front of the entire library, she was the only one left waiting alone, and she didn't even know what she was waiting for.

The lights went out, and the seven-story library behind me fell asleep.The darkness of the night is rushing towards our faces, and a few faint lights are dotted like fireflies in the pouring rain, which seems a bit powerless.

When can the school get new street lights?
Nan Xiao's thoughts turned from the heavy rain to strange places, and began to count the number of streetlights on the small road opposite.

One two three four five, five four three two one.

After counting back and forth several times, I feel bored, forget it, let's think about how to go back.

While thinking hard, the sound of running came from the hazy rain.The blade sneakers stepped into the water-logged potholes, the rain splashed everywhere, wet the trousers and the uppers, leaving circles of turbulent and trembling ripples, the white T-shirt was full of wind, and a figure came towards the wind, the bean-sized A string of raindrops made the surface of the umbrella crackle, and in the gust of wind and rain, a black umbrella was born out of nowhere.

"Hey, why don't you go back?" Lu Ran's chest heaved slightly, the front of the white T-shirt was wet, but the back was dry.

Nan Xiao suddenly remembered a passage in Sherlock Holmes's detective stories - when a person runs faster in the rain, the clothes in front of him will be soaked, but the clothes behind him will not be affected.

She was stunned for a moment, then raised her head: "You... come to pick me up?"

Lu Ran raised his chin, put away the umbrella casually, and gave her a sideways glance: "You think too much. I just left something in the library, come here to see if I can pick it up." He raised his foot and kicked Kicking the locked door, shrugged, "Looks like a wasted trip."

Nan Xiao lowered her head in frustration and clenched her fingers.

Transparent drops of water dripped from the hair on his forehead, Lu Ran shook his hair, and gave her a sideways glance: "Why, didn't you bring an umbrella?"

"Ah."

"Take it."

He casually stuffed the wet folding umbrella to Nan Xiao, and did not forget to tell him: "It's not mine, take care of it, and remember to return it when we meet next time."

Nan Xiao suddenly raised her head: "Then what should you do?"

An umbrella is not enough.

Lu Ran waved his hand: "This is not something you should worry about, go back quickly."

His tone was a little impatient, and after he finished speaking, he crossed his arms and counted the street lights opposite him in a bored way.

One two three four five, five four three two one.

Nan Xiao held up her umbrella and walked into the rain: "Thank you."

"Ah."

She paused, wanted to say something, opened her mouth a few times but gave up again.Step into the potholes filled with water, leaving ripples that gradually spread.The sound of the rain was quieter than before, the surface of the umbrella was tinkling, and the cold wind that turned around was blowing around, entangled every inch of exposed skin, and a fine layer of goose bumps suddenly appeared when it was blowing.

While blowing, Nan Xiao suddenly woke up.

When she turned back, Lu Ran still kept his arms crossed, and a handsome silhouette was reflected in the misty light and shadow of the street lamp.

In the night, those eyes were quiet and wise, and they moved towards her unhurriedly.

Nan Xiao blinked embarrassingly, and took a deep breath: "Well, I haven't had dinner yet, why don't we...together!"

After a while.

"Ah."
