Traveling through the world of the book, but there seem to be too many heroines

The plot of the animated film is simple.

It's a romance film.

It's probably a story about a boy and a girl who grew up in the countryside by the sea, got separated in middle school because of transferring schools, and finally got together in a big city.

Because the hero and heroine did not end up together, Jiang Zilin even cried.

Her eyes behind the sunglasses were red, and I had to wipe away many of her tears.

"Wow... isn't Xiaoran sad?"

"What are you sad about?"

"What if Xiaoran also leaves her sister, just like in the movies!"

"Will not."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Ran said softly.

"I just live the life I want to live, so it won't be like that."

"Ah? Xiaoran has also started to speak weird words like Lengleng that her sister can't understand!"

"Well……"

Chen Ran smiled and continued to wipe away the tears from Jiang Zilin's eyes.

In the dark movie theater, Jiang Zilin returned to her usual lively and chattering self, always whispering something in her ear.

Chen Ran realized it.

Perhaps, for her, as long as she didn't see so many people around her, her whole state wouldn't be so bad.

and so.

That's why I always keep my head down and look at the ground when I go out. I also wear sunglasses to avoid looking at others.

In the fitting room, seeing her reflection in the mirror would scare her, even if it was "herself".

why?

After watching the movie, I came out of the department store and took the last subway which was not crowded.

Chen Ran listened to Jiang Zilin talking about her own story.

"It's not because of some terrible thing that happened to me when I was a child, which caused me some psychological trauma... Of course, normally, abnormal people are like this, that is... there must be a cause and effect or something."

"Of course there are people like that, but my sister is born with that condition. She's been like this since she was born and since she can remember."

"My mother said that I liked to hide by myself since I was a child and would cry when I saw people."

Sitting in a deserted subway car, Jiang Zilin sighed, half leaned on herself, and whispered...

Chapter 46: He is someone else's husband~

In the empty car at the end of the subway.

Chen Ran just sat there, listening to Jiang Zilin muttering softly beside her. She was holding several paper bags, which were all gifts she bought for the mother and daughter today.

There were still some sugar stains on the woman's slightly round and fleshy chin where the mask did not completely cover it.

It was probably left over from eating popcorn while watching the movie just now.

Chen Ran stretched out his hand and naturally helped her wipe it off, and let Jiang Zilin beside him move closer, with a soft look, and put her little head and most of her body on his shoulders.

“I’ve also been to a psychiatrist.”

Jiang Zilin continued speaking.

"But it's useless. Some illnesses just can't be cured. You can't just take some medicine or see a doctor and they will be cured. This is especially true for someone like my sister. There may be only a few people in the world who have similar strange illnesses."

"So, I understand, sister. Since only a few people have this problem, then of course most people don't care about it and let them fend for themselves. After all, it costs a lot of money and manpower to serve a few people..."

"It's not impossible, but I definitely can't do it. Xiaoran, you can understand, right?"

Chen Ran nodded.

"Well, no one cares about the psychological problems of boys or girls in a small city, so people always think that children from wealthy families have more psychological problems."

"correct!"

Jiang Zilin echoed.

"But this is only natural. There are so many important things in the world, such as wars and humanitarian crises. There are still people who can't afford food or water. When you think about it this way, the fact that I am a little abnormal is really insignificant."

She was obviously a little optimistic, but that was normal.

Chen Ran thinks.

The most important thing for Jiang Zilin is that she has had a younger sister and mother who have been with her since she was a child and who have calmly accepted the fact that she is abnormal.

The family environment in which one grows up is crucial for everyone.

"So my sister made the decision when she was very young! It doesn't matter if I can't go out to study or work, I will do my best in what I can do and help the family!!"

"That's why Sister Xiaolin's cooking is so delicious and she's so good at cleaning."

"Hehehe, of course. This is the result of more than ten years of continuous efforts. It is not just a simple repetition, but also requires summarizing experience, exchanging ideas, and learning the latest skills and knowledge..."

Talk about what you are good at.

Jiang Zilin suddenly became talkative, and completely relaxed, leaning on herself.

Chen Ran could even feel the woman's burning hot skin through the not-so-thick clothes.

The empty subway car slowly seemed to turn into a sauna.

Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Jiang Zilin's forehead, but she kept sticking closer and closer to him, just like a couple in love who wanted to sleep in each other's arms the hotter the day.

He talked for a long time.

How to clean the house, which step should be started and which step should be ended;

I usually have to cook several dishes when I eat, what my mother likes to eat, what Leng Leng likes to eat, and what I like to eat...

How often do you do a thorough cleaning? When you are cleaning the yard, you may come across stray kittens or puppies, or find a bird's nest under the eaves. What should you do if cockroaches or even snakes appear in the house?

Jiang Zilin's words were incoherent and she just spoke whatever came to her mind.

Then, he changed the subject.

"But even so, sometimes I still want to go out. It's because I know I can't go out that I want to go out, because I saw a place on TV or saw a photo of a place."

“There will be times when you want to go out.”

"But there's nothing to see. The subway is at rush hour, the izakaya is packed with people, and the streets are full of middle-aged uncles and aunts who are exhausted after get off work."

"Because I have never seen it once, I even wonder if I will never see it again in my life."

Jiang Zilin said this and looked at herself again.

Chen Ran took over the conversation and uttered that classic quote which was both very true and nonsense.

"Well, it's like a besieged city. People outside want to get in, and Sister Xiaolin inside wants to get out."

"Yes, yes, there are many people who envy my sister's life, and there are many on the Internet!"

The topic ends here because the subway has arrived.

Jiang Zilin, who looked weak just now, became much more energetic instantly when she came out of the subway station and returned to the familiar old street.

On the deserted street in the dark night.

He was jumping around like a little child, and said he wanted to go to his grandma to buy some osmanthus cake.

"It's already past ten o'clock, Sister Xiaolin, is Grandma Yang's still open?"

"Open it, open it!"

Jiang Zilin's confident tone made Chen Ran wonder if this guy often sneaked out late at night to buy cakes.

The woman pulled herself and ran very fast.

At this moment, she was not nervous at all, nor was she afraid at all.

Ugh.

The pastry shop was still open.

On the dark roadside, the orange light pouring from the windows illuminated the cakes placed under the windowsill, in an iron basin and covered with plastic sheeting.

Grandma Yang was still lying in the rocking chair behind the window, but there was one difference from the past.

Next to the old lady, there was a little girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old with white hair, sitting on a small stool.

Look at myself and Jiang Zilin coming.

He immediately stood up, took Jiang Zilin's money with one hand, and weighed pastries for the woman with the other.

The little girl's movements were neat and efficient, and incredibly cold, which was totally inconsistent with her age.

Chen Ran remembered.

Jiang Zilin seemed to have gossiped about something, saying that the little girl in front of her was picked up by Grandma Yang on the roadside, and it was as if she was picked up by her mother and taken home.

"..."

"Xiaolin is here."

Waving the palm-leaf fan in her hand, Grandma Yang looked at herself with a puzzled look again.

Apparently he had forgotten who he was again.

"This is someone's husband, grandma."

"Oh, Xiaolin is getting married."

"Mmmmmmm!"

"When are you going to have a baby?"

"I'm already pregnant! Next year... maybe next year... um..."

Counting on her fingers, it was obvious that Jiang Zilin's math grades were not very ideal. She didn't even know what month of next year would be ten months from now.

"It's good to be married, it's good to be married..."

Grandma Yang turned her head again and watched TV.

Chen Ran stood by and didn't say a word the whole time.

Because I'm used to Jiang Zilin's nonsense, and it's hard to explain it clearly to the old man.

So I just remained silent.

He took the pastries from the equally silent little Loli.

On the way home after buying the pastries, Chen Ran found that Jiang Zilin seemed happier than before. She hugged her arms and took two jumps with one step. She didn't know what had happened to make her so happy.

Chapter 47: Shouldn’t we go get a room?

When I got home in the evening, Jiang Lengleng was still in the living room, doing homework, waiting for me and her sister to come back.

“Cold!!!”

Jiang Zilin, who was jumping around outside just now, became even more lawless when she returned home.

He immediately hugged his sister who was sitting in the living room.

"Do you miss your sister~"

"No."

"Humph! Xiaoran bought you a present."

"Eh?"

Looking at the girl staring blankly at the small leather shoes he bought for her, Chen Ran always found it a little funny for some reason.

Jiang Lengleng is like this sometimes, always making people laugh for no apparent reason.

"Thank you, Xiaoran."

"Need not."
