I was the first to catch up

After coming out of the haunted house, Yu Xiaomin looked at her phone, then she stretched herself in the dusk of the evening, and said to Fang Ranran who was beside her for a long time, who had been quiet for a long time:

"Xiaoyu and her classmates are still playing, let's go back first. I'll take you home."

Only then did Fang Ranran raise her head, she was stunned for a moment, and asked:

"……what?"

Yu Xiaomin showed her the phone, and Jiang Lingyu sent her a message 10 minutes ago:

"Mom, are you addicted to playing enough? My classmates and I will go home after dinner. Go home and have a good rest. Don't worry about me today."

Yu Xiaomin returned a tearful expression, and she also said, "As expected of my good daughter, kiss", and Jiang Lingyu returned a somewhat disgusted expression.

Fang Ranran sighed after reading it, she raised her eyes and asked with difficulty:

"...She came with her classmates."

"Yes."

Yu Xiaomin took it for granted, Fang Ranran held his forehead, and suddenly felt a little sorry in his heart.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know how the two of them could have reconciled so quickly, but it's a pity that Fang Ranran was so obsessed with Yu Xiaomin at that time that he couldn't think about anything.

"...No, you don't need to send me back. I'll go by myself."

But this also gave Fang Ranran an excuse.A chance to temporarily escape from Yu Xiaomin and let myself be alone.

When she said this, Yu Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, she bit her lower lip, and when Fang Ranran was about to leave first, Yu Xiaomin grabbed her cuff suddenly.

"Fang Ranran."

Fang Ranran turned her head and stood there looking at her.

Time froze for a moment, Fang Ranran blinked, and what Yu Xiaomin said in the auditorium just now rang out again.At that time, she wiped away her tears and said helplessly:

"Really, why did I cry in front of you, it's so embarrassing."

Yu Xiaomin left Fang Ranran's body, her eyes were red, and she looked away:

"Child, don't dislike me."

It turned out that even Yu Xiaomin would have such an uneasy expression.Fang Ranran didn't speak at that time, she followed Yu Xiaomin out quietly, as if there was no disturbance caused by it.

But at this moment she smiled lightly, Fang Ranran said with a smile:

"See you tomorrow morning, Yu Xiaomin."

Only then did Yu Xiaomin let go of her hand in peace.She nodded and said, well, see you tomorrow.

Fang Ranran didn't have time to call a car, so she took a bus, and she began to regret it a moment after she got on it.It should be given to Yu Xiaomin to see her off. She took too many rides today, and now she feels a little nauseous on the bus.

She endured the feeling of vomiting and sat near Guan Buyu's house, then staggered to her house and rang the doorbell.Guan Buyu didn't open the door for a long time, Fang Ranran slammed on the door vigorously.

"Fang, Mr. Fang?"

The door opened just now, Guan Buyu with red eyes was a little surprised, Fang Ranran immediately pushed her away and rushed into the door to start looking for the trash can.

Guan Buyu looked at Fang Ranran holding the trash can in shock and retching, Fang Ranran looked at her after vomiting, with fierce eyes:

"I didn't drink, I just got motion sickness. Don't look at me like that."

Guan Buyu walked over and sat on the sofa and said;

"What, I thought you were broken in love too."

Fang Ranran rolled her eyes, she sat on the ground and relaxed for a while, then took out a tissue and wiped her mouth.Then she thought for a while and said;

"You're right if you say you're broken in love."

Guan Buyu immediately sat up, she asked "what's the matter" frequently, Fang Ranran stretched out his hand to tell her to shut up:

"Tell me first, what's going on with you. Have you seen Jiang Lingyu?"

Guan Buyu's expression dimmed for a while, then she leaned back and looked at the ceiling:

"...I saw it, but I didn't go up to say hello."

I knew it.

Fang Ranran sighed, she stood up with some difficulty, and went to the refrigerator to grab a bottle of juice.

After she came out, Guan Buyu was already lying on the sofa. It seemed that she had maintained this posture just now, so she didn't want to get up and open the door for her.

Fang Ranran twisted the bottle cap and said:

"However, I'm in a better situation than you. At least Yu Xiaomin gave me a sweet date first, and then slapped me."

Guan Buyu looked at her in surprise and said:

"The lady boss slapped you?!"

Fang Ranran was speechless, she really wanted to throw the bottle cap in Guan Buyu's face.

"Guan Buyu, this is a metaphor."

"Oh."

She walked over and sat opposite Guan Buyu, two mouthfuls of cold juice slipped down her throat and fell into her stomach, Fang Ranran felt better now.

She thought about it, organized her language, and then said her feelings word by word:

"Guan Buyu, I feel like I am a pet to Xiao Min, do you understand? You will like an obedient and cute cat very, very much, but you will not have real love for it, and you will never go to it. Consider the possibility of being with a cat."

"...Master Fang, the cat is much cuter than you."

Guan Buyu mumbled his answer, Fang Ranran rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and felt that he was playing the piano against a cow.

Anyway, that's how she feels today.To be precise, this fact has existed for a long time, but she didn't realize it until today.

It has been that way from the beginning.Yu Xiaomin loves her and cares about her because she regards her as another Jiang Lingyu.

Even though her tone of voice always gave Fang Ranran the illusion that she was equal to her, it was not the case.

This fact may not change for a lifetime.Fang Ranran suddenly understood the pain of "I was not born when you were born, but I am old when I was born".

It would be great if she was born earlier, even if it was only a little earlier, Yu Xiaomin might not just regard her as a child.

The two of them spent a while in silence. During the silence, they said that they wanted to drink, but Fang Ranran put her thoughts back:

"If you don't drink, I feel bad."

It's no fun drinking alone, but if Fang Ran didn't drink, Guan Buyu gave up drinking.She scratched her head a little irritably, and finally summed up the current state of the two of them with a long sigh:

"Fang Ranran, look, we're back on the same starting line now. It's been a waste of time."

These words made Fang Ranran raise her head, she blinked her eyes, and the corners of her mouth suddenly rose slowly:

"...Yeah, we are on the same starting line again."

She repeated Guan Buyu's words, and Guan Buyu looked at her in confusion, thinking that Fang Ranran had finally gone crazy?Thinking too much, her little brain finally can't hold anything?

Fang Ranran stood up suddenly, and Guan Buyu shrank back into the depths of the sofa in fear, fearing that she would go crazy and hurt him.

Fang Ranran stood there, looking high-spirited:

"In other words, we can now be regarded as starting from scratch. For a game, there is a gap to win or lose, and there is no difference between going hand in hand and not advancing! Therefore, at this moment, we are in the same state as when we just started the game, full of infinite possible."

Guan Buyu was stunned when he heard that, Fang Ranran walked her in, and suddenly felt that what Fang Ranran said made sense.

That's right, Fang Ranran couldn't walk an inch, she didn't take a few steps in the first place.And she herself has made great progress, but now she is pushed back. It's not that nothing has changed, everything has just begun!

"Yes, yes! Then we have nothing to be sad about—since the liking hasn't disappeared, the game isn't over either!"

Guan Buyu also raised his hands to cheer, Fang Ranran smiled and repeated Guan Buyu's words in his heart.

Yes, as long as this love has not disappeared, it will continue.Then this chase will never end.

Even if it's just her blind optimism or self-comfort, Fang Ranran occasionally wants to throw away her rationality, raise her hands and cheer with Guan Buyu, and revive her spirits.

Finally, they exchanged glances again, and said that sentence again:

"This time, I must be the first to catch up!!"

The next Monday morning, Yu Xiaomin became extremely busy today because he went to Bajiao Mountain to have fun on Sunday.When it was time for business, neither Fang Ranran nor Guan Buyu came. Yu Xiaomin looked at the door many times, but forced herself not to care.

Maybe I got up late today because I was too tired from playing yesterday.Today's young people are more casual, and it is not normal to come to help on time every day.

Yu Xiaomin comforted herself like this, but she felt in her heart that Fang Ranran was not such a person.Fang Ranran has reported on time every day for the past few months, and she has never made any mistakes in her work.

If it weren't for her being too smart, Yu Xiaomin always felt that she could go to a higher and farther place, and she almost wanted to keep Fang Ranran in the shop.

Occasionally, she would be puzzled by this. Fang Ranran must have a high vision, but why is she so concerned about the things in the store?According to her strength, she should be able to go wherever she wants.

For some reason, Yu Xiaomin always felt that the reason was related to herself.She also had a dream last night, she dreamed that Fang Ranran was standing in front of her, with a delicate, indifferent, ice-like face, and said disdainfully:

"Yu Xiaomin, it turns out that you are not as great as everyone said."

She saw through her weakness, so she felt bored and decided to leave.

Yu Xiaomin knew that her idea was ridiculous, but she always felt that way.

That's why she felt uneasy, and she even regretted it all day long, regretting that she had said things to the other party in that screening hall that she hadn't mentioned to others for a long, long time.

Even, she only told that one person in her life.She said to that person, Jiang Jiang, I'm so tired, I feel like I can't hold on anymore.Jiang Jiang, can you help me?One click, one click.

She has known for a long time that not everyone will really reach out like Jiang Jiang, hold her burden in his arms, and never complain.

What's more, it was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.

In the evening, when Yu Xiaomin cleaned up the store, she put her waist down and sighed.It's okay when she's busy, but when she's free, her whole body will be exhausted, which makes her body a little unprepared.

When she was young, she never felt tired, but now it is always a bit overwhelming. When it is cold, her knees even produce unbearable pain, but she still has no time to stop.

Until Fang Ranran appeared and gave her a short yesterday to let her rest for a while, so——

Yu Xiaomin suddenly realized something.

It turned out to be like this.That's why she couldn't help but tell her those words.

Yu Xiaomin leaned against the table, watching pedestrians passing by the door one after another, and the afterglow of dusk quietly sprinkled on the shop. She lowered her head, feeling a little lost, and a lot, a lot of loneliness.

It would have been nice if it hadn't been said.

If you hold back your emotions and completely play the role of a reliable adult——

"--what."

The door was opened, and Yu Xiaomin looked up.

Fang Ranran froze in embarrassment, her hair was a little messy, and her face was not very good-looking.

She scratched her face like this, and said with some embarrassment:

"Yu Xiaomin, I seem to be late."

Yu Xiaomin in front of her folded her arms with a serious expression on her face.Fang Ranran flinched and looked away, and at the same time scolded Guan silently in his heart.

That guy started to get carried away after cheering up last night, she said, Master Fang, let's drink then!Fang Ranran also said, okay, drink!

So the two drank too much.It was already this afternoon when Fang Ranran woke up, she got up in a panic, and didn't even think about going to school, instead she came to the breakfast shop first.

After all, it was promised yesterday.

Fang Ranran felt annoyed at being like this. Just now he said that he would start from scratch. Why did he make a mistake?

Yu Xiaomin in front of her didn't say a word, Fang Ranran felt more and more regretful, she stood there uneasy, and could only hold back one sentence for a long time:

"Yu Xiaomin, yes—I'm sorry."

Biting her tongue halfway through her words, Yu Xiaomin leaned there and asked suddenly:

"Fang Ranran, will you leave?"

Fang Ranran froze for a moment, she frowned and asked:

"Leave? From where?"

"from here."

Fang Ranran was a little confused, she didn't know what Yu Xiaomin was thinking now, she felt that Yu Xiaomin's words had other meanings, but her mind was empty at the moment, the alcohol last night was still paralyzing her nerves, so Fang Ranran had no choice but to Ask back again:

"Yu Xiaomin, where else can I go?"

Yu Xiaomin didn't speak anymore, she got up and walked over, silently opened her arms and hugged Fang Ranran.Fang Ranran was even more confused. The tip of her nose was buried in the fabric of Xiao Min's sweater. It was a little itchy, but it was so warm and soft.

So she didn't want to think about anything again. Yu Xiaomin's voice was very soft, and she softly reprimanded:

"Fang Ranran, stop drinking. It smells bad and it's not good for your health."

"...Okay, I won't drink any more."

Fang Ranran didn't speak, and Yu Xiaomin also became quiet.She breathed a sigh of relief when she hugged Fang Ranran.

Very dangerous.

she thinks.

The phrase "Fang Ranran, will you leave?" was almost said by her as "Fang Ranran, will you leave me?".

The difference of one word, there is no danger.
