meet again

Chapter 23

This is the second time Xin Ran has mentioned that bald dog.

Lin Ting followed behind Xin Ran, and the scene from that year appeared in his mind.

That bald dog was a birthday present that Lin Ting bought for Xin Ran when he was in the third year of high school.

In the third year of high school, Xin Ran and Chu Yiyi had been together for more than a year.The enthusiasm and sweetness of the two at the beginning has faded, and since Xin Ran is not a tolerant person, Miss Chu's temper becomes more and more uncontrollable.During every quarrel, Lin Ting, who followed Chu Yiyi, could always see the tired look on Xin Ran's face. She was not good at explaining, let alone having the heart to explain, so after several quarrels, there was an endless cold war .

Chu Yiyi started flirting with other people, no matter men or women, Lin Ting tried to dissuade her, but stopped abruptly when she opened her mouth.

She is not selfless.She doesn't want to see Chu Yiyi and Xin Ran continue to fight each other, and she doesn't want to just wish them a happy life together.She only thought that these two people would break up soon, but she never thought about it after the breakup.

Lin Ting, who originally had such an idea, should have watched Chu Yiyi and Xin Ran drift away.

but……

Lin Ting stopped and looked at Xin Ran who was carefully choosing gifts.

The sharpness between her brows and eyes is still there, like a fully armed warrior, guarding her territory with all her strength, so as not to let those who plan to do anything wrong have an opportunity.

But Xin Ran was not like this at the time. During the cold war with Chu Yiyi, she was like a soldier who had discarded all armor, struggling hard on her last wall.

That was the first time she saw sadness and confusion in Xin Ran's eyes.

It was just that look that made Lin Ting decide that she would help Chu Yiyi and Xin Ran reconcile, no matter what method she used, as long as this person stopped showing that look.

She stopped Chu Yiyi from going out for karaoke, interrupted her date with other people, and deliberately mentioned Xin Ran in front of Chu Yiyi, so Lin Ting tried all the methods that could be thought of at that age.

She even secretly went to the teacher's office, found out Xin Ran's date of birth, and bought her a gift with the pocket money she had saved for half a semester.

Because a pinch of the big dog's head was stained with other colors, the boss sold it to her cheaply.

She carefully cut off that little bit of hair with small scissors, and cut the other parts evenly.Although the dog looks more silly, but also very cute.Lin Ting hugged it, still very satisfied.

"Chu Yiyi asked me to pass it on. She said, happy birthday to you." This is what Lin Ting said when he hugged the big, clumsy bald dog to Xin Ran.

Those eyes that had been silent for a long time, when they faced Lin Ting for the first time, a light appeared.

But Xin Ran didn't know that it was just a lie.Lin Ting looked at Xin Ran who suddenly became alive, and the resentment in her heart was even heavier. She couldn't control the distressed look on her face. Xin Ran shouldn't be treated like this...

It's just that when Xin Ran hugged the big dog and looked up at her, she suddenly panicked, and Lin Ting, who was already guilty, became even more nervous at the sight, and she forced a smile: "Happy birthday, Shining."

Xin Ran stared at her for a long time, until Lin Ting felt that he was going to be unable to hold on, Xin Ran stretched out his hand and threw the bald silly dog ​​back into her arms: "If you want to say this, call me She speaks for herself."

Then turned and left.

Lin Ting hugged the big dog who was as stupid as her, and felt a little ridiculous, but couldn't laugh anymore.

What is the meaning of bald dog?It's self-indulgence.

Lin Ting stood beside the shelf and stood there for a long time.

Seeing her not moving for a long time, Xin Ran seemed to knock Lin Ting on the head with the small box in her hand, "Hey, didn't you come to help pick out presents?"

Only then did Lin Ting come to his senses, the Xin Ran in front of him still looked the same... But, she was no longer the ridiculous Lin Ting.

"Then you have to tell me, who is it for?" Lin Ting took the opportunity to ask, and even reached out to touch the head that had been beaten by Xin Ran, feeling a little happy.

Xin Ran paused when she put the box back, she turned to look at Lin Ting, and said two words softly: "Secret."

Lin Ting covered his forehead. Is this... is it really their goddess? Why... Why do you feel that the way of opening today is not right?

But this feeling seems to be good... Lin Ting immediately followed, pointing to the things on the shelf and chattering.

The waiter standing on the side looked away, thinking that it was really wrong to be kicked out by the frozen gaze just after introducing a few words, this guest, your friend is obviously more nagging...

In the end, after Lin listened to a bunch of meaningless explanations, Xin Ran chose a set of meticulous teacups, with bright colors and exquisite patterns, which were in line with the aesthetics of the recipient.

When paying the bill, Lin Ting tugged at Xin Ran's sleeve: "Wait for me first, okay?"

Xin Ran looked at the people in line: "I'm going outside."

Lin Ting nodded, and hurriedly turned back.

Xin Ran stood outside the store, which happened to be facing a large floor-to-ceiling window, from which one could see the street lamps shining brightly outside, as well as the still bustling streets.It is rare that the footsteps of pedestrians on the road are no longer in a hurry, but are moving forward slowly, enjoying such a night with a different kind of warmth.

Gradually, thin snowflakes floated in the air again, Xin Ran couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth when he saw the people below suddenly cheered up.

When Lin Ting walked out of the store with the bag in hand, he happened to see her expression at that moment.

She looked at the man, and couldn't help but bend the corner of her mouth.

Xin Ran noticed her gaze, turned around and met her smiling face: "Let's go."

"Yeah!" Lin Tingzhong nodded emphatically, walked quickly to her side, and went out together.

The outdoor weather suddenly turned cold, probably because the distance between the two of them was too close, Lin Ting could clearly feel Xin Ran shivering.

She stopped, even with Xin Ran puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Lin Ting laughed without saying a word. She took out a gray and white cashmere scarf from the bag in her hand, then tiptoed lightly, and wrapped it around Xin Ran's neck.

The sudden warmth made Xin Ran dazed for a moment.

Lin Ting quickly opened the distance between the two of them, and she pretended to be relaxed and said, "You look so chic in your clothes, you will definitely be cold outside. The winter in City C is a veritable winter."

Xin Ran reached out and grabbed the scarf around his neck, his star-like eyes were thoughtful: "Thank you. I will transfer the money for the scarf to you later."

"No need, between old classmates, it's nothing to give a Christmas present, or do you think I'm so fond of taking advantage that I can't afford to give a present." Lin Ting quickly shook her head, she walked in front of Xin Ran, okay So that the people behind him could not see the successful smile on his face: "Let's go quickly, the snow will be heavy soon..."

The author has something to say:

Originally, this chapter should be called "Youth and Stupidity..." Later, I thought about it and couldn't be so cruel to the counselor (laughs)
