〖Confession: 20 days left in the death countdown〗

━━━━━━━━━━

After five days of climbing over mountains and crossing rivers, Wei'er and Banning finally returned to Ella Village.

During these five days, they experienced a reunion beyond life and death, ate disgusting hyena meat under the starlight, and drank sweet groundwater... Every day was difficult for them, but after arriving at Ella Village, the painful past seemed to be just a blink of an eye.

Thinking back on the time they spent together in hardship, and the times they spent together and taking care of each other, Wei'er still feels a little shy, but she is more filled with joy and reluctance to leave.

Five days is not a long time, but the relationship between Wei'er and Banning is better than that accumulated in five months.

Nowadays, there is often no need for verbal communication between two people; they can understand each other with just a glance.

In addition, Elle temporarily gave up her intention to kill Banning.

The "temporary" condition is: until Banning's "mission" is completed.

[Note: For Banning's mission, see "3.4 - Two Letters"]

Of course, if Elle found out that Benning had cheated on her or came out, or did something else to let Vera down, he would be killed without mercy.

·

In addition, during this period, Wei'er did not mention the confession that night to Banning, and she did not allow her sister Elle to mention it.

Just like Elle's condition of not taking action against Banning for the time being, Ver wants to wait until Banning completes his mission before confirming her feelings with him. Moreover, she hopes that before that day comes, she will have grown into someone who can fight alongside Banning.

·

After returning to Ella Village, the first thing Wei'er and Banning did was to treat Grandma Kana.

The brown rock flowers collected by Banning were very effective. Grandma Kana felt much better after taking two doses of brown rock flower potion that day. She was even able to get out of bed and walk early the next morning.

Everyone in the village was happy for Grandma Kana's recovery, but they were also sad about Rod's unfortunate passing.

In this Prison Star world, every life is precious and every life is fragile.

·

Everyone in Ella Village was relieved at the return of the two young people, but Jiang Ran became more and more nervous these days.

Because, the remaining time of the "Confession Death Countdown" no longer allows for "slacking off".

This morning, Jiang Ran saw that Grandma Kana was able to walk, so he said goodbye to Wei'er and everyone else, and hurriedly set off for Sunny Town without even having lunch.

As of today, there are only 19 days left in Jiang Ran's "confession death countdown".

19 days may sound like a lot, but after deducting the 11 days needed to get from Ella Village to Sunny Town, there are actually only 8 days left to pursue the next girl.

In those 8 days, if it were on Earth, it might be the first time for me to go out to eat or watch a movie with a girl.

So this time, Jiang Ran must perform "Speed"...!

·

·

For Jiang Ran, if he wants to maximize his time, the remote town of Sunny is not a good place to go.

Gude Town was originally a good option, but Jiang Ran knew that Viviana and other members of the Feiqi family had recently gathered in Gude Town.

Even if we put aside the matter of "pigeon blood", Jiang Ran still went to Good Town to pursue other girls when he knew that Viviana was also in the same town. That was really pouring spicy oil into the panties - he was asking for death.

As for why the next target couldn't be Viviana, Jiang Ran had two reasons:

First, although Jiang Ran had established a bond with Viviana, this bond was not enough to bridge the gap in their status and strength;

Secondly, there are people from the Feiqi family in Gude Town. In the worst case scenario, Viviana's parents might be there too.

Jiang Ran was worried that he might accidentally lose his life by trying to get something for nothing under the nose of his future father-in-law.

Therefore, even though time would become extremely tight, he had no choice but to go to Sunny Town.

·

Before leaving Shadou Canyon, Jiang Ran accidentally "obtained" a war horse.

This warhorse may not be the fastest among the Gude Town cavalry, but it is definitely the smartest.

After the death of its master, the warhorse had been wandering in the canyon, but after meeting Jiang Ran and Wei'er, it took the initiative to follow them.

Jiang Ran felt that this horse was destined to be with him, so he deliberately chose a gentle slope route and took it out of Shadou Canyon. Unexpectedly, the horse was still reluctant to leave after being free, so Jiang Ran and Wei'er rode it back to Ella Village.

Now, Jiang Ran was riding this warhorse on the dirt road. With it, the journey time to Sunny Town could be shortened by more than half.

Without it, Jiang Ran would have no choice but to risk his life and go to Gude Town to try his luck.

To thank the warhorse for its contribution, Jiang Ran gave it a name.

"Hurry up! Little motorcycle!"

·

·

The mountains are high and the road is long, and the horses’ hooves are paddling.

Traveling alone can sometimes be lonely.

However, Jiang Ran wouldn't.

Because there is still a stupid loli in his mind.

(Benni: Jiang Yan, why didn’t you ask Wei’er to go to Sunny Town with you?)

(Jiang Ran: Are you asking even though you already know the answer?)

(Benni: Yes, I’m here to fight for Wei’er!)

The silly lolita understood Jiang Ran a little bit, and she saw that Jiang Ran was avoiding Wei'er.

Even if Jiang Ran didn't go to Sunny Town to win over other girls, he would find a way to separate from Wei'er temporarily.

Jiang Ran thought that he had been with Wei'er and Ai'er for too long this time. If they continued to be together, uncontrollable "accidents" might happen.

(Jiang Ran: I didn’t do anything.)

(Benni: Tsk, you're a scumbag just because you didn't do anything. Let me tell you, you're just like a scumbag, keeping someone hanging without explicitly rejecting them.)

(Jiang Ran: I can’t find any reason to reject her.)

(Benni: Oh oh oh? So you like Wei'er?)

(Jiang Ran: How ironic, not rejecting someone means you like them?)

Jiang Ran's question stumped the silly loli. As a novice in love, she couldn't answer such a philosophical question.

(Benni: So, so, do you like Wei'er or not?)

(Jiang Ran: I have a body that is “dead”, so I can’t like anyone.)

Jiang Ran's words silenced the stupid loli.

A person who is guilty of a crime has not yet been punished.

A body ready to die means that Jiang Ran’s life is not his own.

When it comes to discussing Jiang Ran's current situation as a "person waiting to die", Silly Loli knows as much as Jiang Ran.

In order to survive and continue to upgrade his super-dimensional divine eyes, Jiang Ran inevitably has to continue to make more girls fall in love with him... and the more girls like him, the harder it will be for Jiang Ran to manage this "backyard".

In fact, the stupid loli knew that Jiang Ran could have rejected Wei'er's confession and been a cool scumbag.

As long as he refused, he would not have the burden of conscience and would not have to consider Wei'er anymore. However, Jiang Ran chose the most difficult path.

It's not like the silly loli hasn't seen Jiang Ran's decisiveness in killing people, nor has it been like she hasn't seen Jiang Ran remain calm and composed even in dangerous situations. Therefore, she couldn't understand why Jiang Ran would act like a "stupid good guy" when it comes to emotional matters.

After thinking it over again and again, Silly Loli finally made a decision. She submitted a request to the "Omniscient Wisdom Library" to inquire about Jiang Ran's background.

4.4 - Jiang Ran's Past (Part ) (Update)

Jiang Ran, whose real name is Jiang Yiran, means to be a righteous person.

When he was a child, Jiang Ran did not "disappoint" his parents' expectations. He had a strong sense of justice and could not tolerate any unfairness or injustice.

However, unfairness and injustice are the norm in this world, and that is why little Jiang Ran fights with other children almost every day.

Normally, if a child fights with others outside, he will be beaten again when he gets home, but little Jiang Ran is very "lucky". Growing up in the countryside, he can only see his parents during the Chinese New Year.

For little Jiang Ran, being scolded and beaten by his parents is happiness.

·

Xiao Jiangran's grandparents passed away early, and his parents worked in the city all year round. He was saved from starvation by the care of his aunts, uncles, and neighbors.

Because of this, little Jiang Ran would stand up for the children of his relatives and friends every other day. Today he would punch the child king of the East Village, and tomorrow he would kick the young master of the West Village.

Xiao Jiangran's "bad reputation" spread throughout the surrounding villages.

Later, little Jiang Ran went to the primary school in the village and continued to live a life of flying, jumping, punching and kicking.

His radical way of dealing with things soon earned him the nickname "Jiang Yiran, flammable and explosive."

Little Jiang Ran didn't care about his nickname. He just couldn't stand some kids bullying others just because they were tall, and he couldn't stand some kids treating other kids like slaves just because their families were rich.

However, the children in school are different from his friends in the village. Jiang Ran's behavior of upholding fairness and justice is not recognized by them. Even the children he has helped are unwilling to play with him.

Xiao Jiangran was isolated.

But he still adheres to his own values.

And, as he got older, he began to discover new problems.

Little Jiangran was confused as to why the head teacher's son could get an extra set of stationery and a set of school uniform.

Xiao Jiangran was confused as to why everyone had to pay for the spring and autumn outings, even if some people were sick and couldn't go.

Little Jiang Ran was confused as to why his daughter, who was older than him, could open her textbook during the exam, while others would be scolded if they even turned their heads.

Little Jiang Ran couldn't find an answer to his confusion, so he asked an adult, and the answer he got was:

Because he is the son of the head teacher, he can.

Because she is the daughter of the older grade, she can.

Because that’s the school’s policy, and you’re still young, so you don’t understand.

……

Little Jiang Ran was indeed still too young. He had not yet read Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman", so he could not ask the question:

"It has always been like this, is it right?"

However, the teachers were annoyed by him. During the Chinese New Year, they called Jiang Ran's parents to the school and scolded them, telling Jiang Ran not to cause trouble again, otherwise he would be expelled.

·

Xiao Jiangran's parents are sensible people. They did not criticize Xiao Jiangran for the teacher's scolding. On the contrary, they told Xiao Jiangran that everything he did was right and that the school and the teacher were wrong.

"But, I'm sorry, Yiran, mom and dad don't have the money to take you to the city to study now."

"You have to study hard here until you graduate. When you graduate from elementary school, Mom and Dad will have enough money to take you to the city."

"So, Yiran, thank you for your patience. Let's not cause any more trouble, okay?"

Looking at his parents with red eyes, little Jiang Ran nodded silently.

He wanted to ask, "Mom and Dad, if I turn a blind eye to evil, can I still be a righteous person?"

But when he thought about his parents being scolded and unable to raise their heads at school, Jiang Ran swallowed the question back into his stomach.

·

Since then, Jiang Ran has become a coward in school.
