I was the first to catch up

At the beginning of May, Fang Ranran completed her credits and graduated ahead of schedule, which she planned a long time ago.But plans have also changed. For example, she planned to graduate early and go to graduate school, but now, she just wants to go back to Huanjiang to meet Yu Xiaomin.

It's okay to slow down the rhythm. For Fang Ranran now, what she needs most is to rely on Yu Xiaomin, stay by her side, and gain motivation for life bit by bit.It's not too late to start when the motivation is full - anyway, she is Mrs. Fang, and she has the willful capital.

Although she thought so, Yu Xiaomin felt guilty for a long time after seeing her.In the first month, she kept saying, Fang Ranran, you don't need to stay here.Just come back and visit me once in a while, you can go to a better place.

Fang Ranran would always hug her when she heard the words - she now understood that treating Yu Xiaomin would be willful and reckless, and it was completely unfeasible to reason with her and pretend to be mature.

At least, at this stage where they can't tell clearly, hugging her and saying "Are you going to drive me away?" is much more useful than simply reasoning.

"You—well. What can I do with you?"

In the end, Yu Xiaomin often had to say this with a sigh.Fang Ranran still hugged her tightly, with a successful smile on his face again.

She thought to herself that the word "grow up" is really useful. She has grown up and is in her 20s. No matter what Yu Xiaomin thinks in her heart, she will finally stop trying to interfere with herself.

Just like Yu Xiaomin would say before, you are still young, you have never seen the world, that's why you think I'm good and like me.

But now?Now Fang Ranran has been abroad and seen many things and people.Maybe it's not enough.But Fang Ranran still chose to stay here, by Yu Xiaomin's side.

Yu Xiaomin, Yu Xiaomin, do you know what this means?

Sometimes, Fang Ranran stood at the door of the store and looked at Yu Xiaomin who was busy inside, as usual, and felt that Yu Xiaomin still didn't understand.But when night came, she hugged Yu Xiaomin's body in the dark, kissed her, and heard her panting, she felt that Yu Xiaomin understood—understood how much she loved her, and they were in love .

Even if Yu Xiaomin didn't admit it personally.

After two months like this, Fang Ranran has developed the habit of going to bed late and waking up late, and waiting at the door of the store 15 minutes earlier when Yu Xiaomin gets off work.This day she was waiting at the door again, still wearing the sweater that Yu Xiaomin usually wears.

Yu Xiaomin once strongly condemned this. She felt that it was a waste for Fang Ranran to wear her oversized clothes - she obviously had better-looking and more suitable clothes.

But Fang Ranran's answer is still:

"I want to wear it, what's wrong?"

It happened to be night, and Yu Xiaomin's complaints were quickly submerged in her panting. She watched Fang Ranran take off her clothes, revealing a thin body, disheveled hair, and cold eyes - but this temperature difference was just right. Yu Xiaomin likes it.

So she had no choice but to whisper, with tears in her eyes, Fang Ranran, you are like this every time, it's too bad.

Thinking about this, Fang Ranran wanted to lower her head and sniff Yu Xiaomin's scent - just as she was about to do so, a gentle voice came from behind:

"Fang Ranran, why are you peeking at mom again?"

Fang Ranran was startled, she saw Jiang Lingyu as soon as she turned her head. Standing there, 23-year-old Jiang Lingyu didn't seem to have changed much - at least in Fang Ranran's eyes.

If I had to say it, Jiang Lingyu's hair grew a bit longer, she put on a pair of glasses, and she became more bookish.

She carried a few bags of things in her hand, probably Yu Xiaomin called her here.Fang Ranran looked away without answering, but her face turned red for no reason.

"No peeps."

It is to look at it above board.

She muttered a few words, and Jiang Lingyu stood beside her, smiling.

Jiang Lingyu has been on vacation since a week ago.After she came back, she often came to help, the same as before - so that the number of customers increased visibly during this period, making Yu Xiaomin busy for a while.

"Hey, Fang Ranran, every time my mother tells me that I'm busy with something, so I have to live in the store, and when I don't go home--do I go to your house?"

Fang Ranran thought that Jiang Lingyu was about to go in, but she didn't expect her to stand there and said so suddenly.

Fang Ranran was shocked, but she remained calm:

"Well, I want her to sleep in my place. Compared with the store, my house is more suitable for her to rest."

"But my house is closer to the breakfast place."

"I happened to be walking around here after dinner, and when I passed the store I would—"

"——will you call your mother to go home with you? Fang Ranran, how come your ability to make excuses has become so bad."

Jiang Lingyu laughed until her shoulders trembled slightly, Fang Ranran frowned, feeling a little helpless.She wondered what had happened to her during this time, she was too easy to relax, right?

It seems that I still can't relax my vigilance because of Yu Xiaomin. Fang Ranran was about to make up for her flawed excuses. Jiang Lingyu smiled and said suddenly:

"Fang Ranran, are you with your mother?"

Oh, it turned out that I came prepared.

Fang Ranran blinked, but she wasn't surprised - how could a sensitive person like Jiang Lingyu not notice it?

But she still asked:

"Is it that obvious?"

Jiang Lingyu smiled helplessly:

"It's that obvious."

Fang Ranran looked at her for a while. She thought that this step would be difficult, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.After all, Jiang Lingyu was only two years older than her, and she even imagined that she would strongly resist all of this.

Maybe things would have developed like this, but someone appeared and planted a seed.This kind of seed made Jiang Lingyu finally smile, and mentioned it easily at this moment, as if he had already prepared for it.

Even so, Fang Ranran shook his head and said softly:

"Although I would like to admit it - but, Yu Xiaomin and I are not together. And I don't expect this now."

These words surprised Jiang Lingyu, she looked at Fang Ranran and then at Yu Xiaomin in the shop.She frowned, a little confused.

Seeing this, Fang Ranran shrugged, as if he didn't care at all.When the time came, she walked in first and went to Yu Xiaomin's side.But Jiang Lingyu didn't move, she watched Fang Ranran raise her head and talk to Xiao Min, they smiled at each other, and there was a little emotion that Jiang Lingyu was familiar with in their eyes.

But, it shouldn't be like this.

She sighed softly in her heart and said so.

Fang Ranran, you can't be satisfied with this.

Jiang Lingyu shook his head and made up his mind.

When Jiang Lingyu came home that night, Yu Xiaomin was already busy in the kitchen.Jiang Lingyu put down the things in her hands and walked over, squeezing beside her - now Jiang Lingyu can stand side by side with Xiao Min.Just looking from the back, it is impossible to tell who is the mother and who is the daughter.

"Mom, didn't I say it all, can I fix dinner by myself? If I want to do it, at least wait until I get home to help you."

Jiang Lingyu has said this many times and complained, but Yu Xiaomin never listens.She has always taken everything on her own, never uttering a single complaint.

"You still have to do things in the store now, just order takeaway, there are only two of us - otherwise, it would be nice to invite Fang Ranran to have dinner together."

"One on each side of you, the kitchen can't stand up. You have that time to do your own business."

Yu Xiaomin's mouth is much stronger than Jiang Lingyu's, and Jiang Lingyu is speechless every time she replies.When Jiang Lingyu was a child, she was always depressed because of this incident, but it is different now——

"Mom, I know about you and Fang Ranran."

Now she is too aware of Yu Xiaomin's weakness.

"You're saying..."

She saw that Yu Xiaomin, who never showed weakness, showed a trace of timidity in his eyes - Yu Xiaomin was scared.

Jiang Lingyu suddenly felt distressed, but she did not regret it.

"You are—what are you talking about. Me and Fang Ranran? How is it possible, she is a girl. Even if you don't mention this, how old is she and how old am I? She is just a child to me, how can we possible--"

"—Mom, you treat everyone like a child."

Yu Xiaomin's hands were still wet, she took a few steps back in a panic, and came to the corner.The water drops from his hand fell on the ground, Jiang Lingyu stood there, looking at her calmly.

Now Jiang Lingyu can already say that.

For her, growing up is no longer about catching up with Yu Xiaomin, but about becoming as strong as others.The purpose of growing up is to speak steadily at this moment, and the words convey the power that can make Xiao Min feel at ease:

"It's like me now. You see, I can take care of myself, but you still feel that I need you. Well, I do need you, and I will be very sad if you leave me. But now I can go on my own, too."

Because she has proven it.There is nothing wrong with losing something in order to grow.It was precisely because of the loss that she was reborn from the fire—maybe the price was too high, and she still didn't want to look back.

Jiang Lingyu took a deep breath and said slowly:

"So, even if you and Fang Ranran are together, I will only say: great, that Yu Xiaomin who was dragged down by me can finally obtain his own happiness."

Jiang Lingyu was laughing, but tears were shining in his eyes.

"I—I'd be very happy."

Instead of words came a firm hug.Yu Xiaomin hugged her and sobbed back:

"No...no. You didn't drag me down, never."

The corners of Jiang Lingyu's mouth curled up, and she patted Yu Xiaomin on the back, that Yu Xiaomin who was crying like a child.The position seems to be reversed now.

At the same time, she seems to have heard someone say: Isn't the proprietress worthy of her own happiness?

These words planted seeds in Jiang Lingyu's heart, and finally blossomed at this moment, so that Jiang Lingyu can now think like this:

There is no priority in the order of attaining happiness.I am happy enough to be raised by you.So, please, please enjoy your own happiness.

This is what Yu Xiaomin deserves.
