I was the first to catch up

When following Yu Xiaomin to investigate the location, Fang Ranran did not expect that he would face the hardest moment in his life at this time.

If you want to talk about the reason, it's because Yu Xiaomin is walking almost non-stop.After watching one place, she rushed to the next place.

And Fang Ranran didn't want to be regarded as a burden, so even though she was sweating profusely this time, her feet were sore, and her shoulders were so stiff when she was carrying a backpack, even though she never sweated, she just didn't complain.

After returning to the homestay every day, Fang Ranran insisted on taking a shower, staring at Yu Xiaomin after drinking two cups, then plunged into the pillow and passed out - she was obviously squeezed into the same bed with Yu Xiaomin , but after waking up, there is no memory left.

This situation lasted until the third day, when Yu Xiaomin saw something.Because the temperature rose that day, approaching 38 degrees.They were walking in a stuffy indoor food court, and even Yu Xiaomin fanned the wind and complained:

"It doesn't work here, there is no air-conditioning, and even guests don't want to come. I said why the rent is so cheap, it's obviously indoors, and the flow of people is too—"

Fang Ranran behind him didn't say a word. Yu Xiaomin thought that the child had been surprisingly quiet these past few days. She turned her face and saw Fang Ranran was sweating profusely, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were fixed on the ground. stand there.

Yu Xiaomin walks fast, and she concentrates on her work, rarely looking back.That's why she suddenly realized now that the sweaty Fang Ranran didn't sweat much before, and she didn't even want to move more.

Yu Xiaomin frowned tightly, looking at the crumbling Fang Ranran.A few seconds later, she reached out to grab Fang Ranran's wrist, let her lean against her side, and walked towards the exit together.

"...Yu Xiaomin, don't you want to watch it?"

Fang Ranran's consciousness was obviously a little blurred, she wiped the sweat from her eyebrows, and asked softly.

Yu Xiaomin didn't say a word, and when they went out of the room, the wind would make them feel better.Then Yu Xiaomin took a taxi - before taking a taxi, she went to the canteen next to her to buy a bottle of iced mineral water. After getting in the car, she put the water in Fang Ranran's hand:

"Drink in one sip, don't worry too much."

Then she touched Ranran's forehead with the back of her hand, it was hot, and she didn't know if she really had a fever or was stuffed out.

Fortunately, the air conditioner was turned on in the car, Fang Ranran snuggled up to her, took a sip of water, and fell asleep holding the bottle of mineral water.Yu Xiaomin hugged her and brushed away her wet bangs, with distressed eyes.

"Your daughter? It's such a hot day, and she's so thin. You should let her eat more."

Seeing that Fang Ranran was asleep, the driver in front said so softly.Yu Xiaomin glanced at Fang Ranran in her arms. She was in a deep sleep, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly.

Yu Xiaomin hesitated for two or three seconds, then she shook her head, looked up and said to the driver:

"It's not my daughter, she's a very reliable junior. You're right, she needs to eat more, it's too worrying."

After Yu Xiaomin finished speaking, she looked away, and she looked at Fang Ranran quietly.Maybe a month ago, she would have said, yes, this is my daughter.But not now.

That can no longer be said.

Yu Xiaomin's fingers were placed on Fang Ranran's cheeks, it was better than before, not so hot.The car bumped a bit, and Fang Ranran slid into Yu Xiaomin's arms. Yu Xiaomin caught her well and let her pillow on his lap.

Fang Ranran breathed steadily, as if falling into the sweetest dream.

After arriving at the homestay, Fang Ranran rubbed her eyes and was pulled out of the car by Yu Xiaomin. She asked in a daze:

"Why are you back? Didn't you still have a few places to go this afternoon?"

Yu Xiaomin shook his head and said:

"not going."

Fang Ranran sat down in a daze, Yu Xiaomin asked her to take a bath, and then went out.When Fang Ranran obediently took a shower and came out, Yu Xiaomin also came back. She put something in the refrigerator, and when she saw Fang Ranran coming out, she walked over quickly, and pressed the back of her hand against Ranran's forehead again.

"Well, it's not very hot."

She murmured, and Fang Ranran immediately understood the reason.She frowned, looked at Yu Xiaomin, and Yu Xiaomin took out a thermometer and said:

"Come on, let's take the temperature. If you have a fever, I just bought a fever-reducing patch and put it in the refrigerator. I will put it on at night and go to bed early."

As Yu Xiaomin said, she was about to put it under Fang Ranran's armpit, but Fang Ranran blushed and snatched it up, saying in a low voice, "I'll put it myself".

While waiting, she sat on the bed and looked up at Yu Xiaomin busy there, not knowing what she was doing.When the time was up, she took it out and saw that it was 36 degrees and it was not burned.

Fang Ranran breathed a sigh of relief, and she said:

"Yu Xiaomin, I don't have a fever. I think there is still some time in the afternoon. Let's read the remaining places. Look, if we don't finish reading today, our itinerary will be—"

"Fang Ranran."

Fang Ranran wanted to show her the itinerary on his mobile phone, but Yu Xiaomin's face sank, and Fang Ranran was stunned for a moment, unable to speak.

"If you can't finish reading it, you can't finish it. You came to help me voluntarily, and you won't get any reward. You don't need to work so hard."

After all, Yu Xiaomin took a step forward, she stretched out her hand, and stroked Fang Ranran's bangs hanging on her forehead again. Fang Ranran always likes to blow it out until it's half dry, so her hair is still a little wet, and her face is tender Yes, it is pure and clear.

"You have been feeling sick for a long time, but you are afraid of delaying our trip, so you just endured it all the time, without even complaining, right? Fang Ranran, this is not good. "

Yu Xiaomin pinched Fang Ranran's face. For some reason, the word "child" gradually disappeared from her words. She called her Fang Ranran, but her tone remained unchanged, with a feeling of doting.

"For me," Yu Xiaomin paused, she sighed first, and then said, "You are much more important than opening a branch. I am not in a hurry to open a store. So, if your body is It’s exhausting and I’m going to blame myself.”

These words made Fang Ranran suffocate for a moment, she swallowed her saliva, lowered her head and said "OK".Yu Xiaomin then laughed. She asked Fang Ranran to go to bed, and Fang Ranran obediently obeyed and climbed into bed.

At night, Fang Ranran woke up slowly, a lamp was lit in the room, the curtains were drawn, it was already night.

She turned over and saw Yu Xiaomin sitting beside her, using her tablet clumsily.She took a peek and found that Yu Xiaomin was deleting some itineraries in the itinerary, so that the time would not be so tight.

She looked at it for a while, then looked up at Yu Xiaomin who was serious.Finally she closed her eyes and sank into the pillow again.

Yu Xiaomin seemed to have noticed her movement.Before falling asleep, Fang Ranran faintly heard Yu Xiaomin whisper to her: Good night, Fang Ranran.

After that, the itinerary was much looser, and there was no such thing as being too tired to keep my eyelids open.Perhaps it is also because my body has adapted to such an intensity.Thinking about this, Fang Ranran followed Yu Xiaomin into a shopping mall.

"The place this time was originally a restaurant. It closed down because of bad business, and it's being demolished now."

For some reason, Yu Xiaomin brought Fang Ranran to a coffee shop that was in operation instead.Fang Ranran nodded when she heard the words. The location of this shopping mall is good, but she is afraid that the rent is too expensive and it is not very suitable for a breakfast shop, so she herself is not particularly optimistic about it.

Yu Xiaomin looked around for a while, then she raised her hand and waved. Fang Ranran looked over and found that a middle-aged man who was typing on a notebook also saw them and waved his hand.

"But we are here mainly to meet people... Long time no see, Mr. Liu."

teacher?

Fang Ranran was stunned for a moment, they had already walked to the table, the man Yu Xiaomin called Teacher Liu stood up, shook hands with Yu Xiaomin, said with an embarrassed smile:

"Don't call me that, Miss Xiao Min. After all these years, why do you still like to tease me so much?"

Liu Xiaoran asked them to sit down, and Yu Xiaomin introduced himself for him.Only then did Fang Ranran know that this Liu Xiaoran was Jiang Jiang's roommate in college, and later became friends with Yu Xiaomin.After graduating from university, he stayed in Ming'an as a junior high school teacher, and occasionally contacted Yu Xiaomin.

This time, Liu Xiaoran was the one who found their homestay. After all, he is a native of Ming'an and knows a lot of things. He also found many places on Yu Xiaomin's itinerary.

Fang Ranran took a sip of her latte, and she saw how Yu Xiaomin and Liu Xiaoran were having a good time talking, and she couldn't help being in a trance.

She also occasionally feels a sense of disconnection.When she saw Yu Xiaomin's peers, she couldn't help thinking: Ah, so Yu Xiaomin is already at this age.But when he was alone with her, Fang Ranran never felt that way.

Why is this so?

Fang Ranran was once puzzled.But now, after more things, she seemed to understand something.

When she was alone with Yu Xiaomin, Yu Xiaomin was just Yu Xiaomin.She is not the proprietress of the breakfast shop, nor Jiang Lingyu's mother, nor is she a reliable senior or senior.

She is just Yu Xiaomin.She is strong, of course.She's fragile and hard to see.She is in love, knows how to love someone well, is as gentle as the tide, and can easily overthrow Fang Ranran.

But if someone of Yu Xiaomin's age appears between them——Yu Xiaomin will automatically play the role of "Miss Xiaomin". Miss Xiaomin is 37 years old and has a heavy burden on her shoulders. crush.But she would still say, it's ok, it's ok, don't worry.

This Yu Xiaomin gave Fang Ranran a sense of distance, and even made her helpless, not knowing how to break the mirror.

"—Fang Ranran."

Fang Ranran blinked, and returned to reality from her own thoughts.She saw Yu Xiaomin and Liu Xiaoran looking at her, and Liu Xiaoran continued:

"Yes, Fang Ranran. Look at my memory. "

It was not calling her.

Fang Ranran breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't listen to what they were talking about.

"They all said that Miss Xiao Min brought a clever little secretary with her this time. I thought they were joking, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Liu Xiaoran joked.When he said that, Fang Ranran remembered that Yu Xiaomin had also met some old friends in Ming'an one after another in the past few days, but they just stopped by, and Yu Xiaomin came back a few minutes later, still holding a Lots of gifts.

Yu Xiaomin looked at Liu Xiaoran with blame and said:

"What little secretary, I didn't pay her a salary. At best, she's—"

Sensing Fang Ranran's gaze, Yu Xiaomin smiled and reached out to rub Fang Ranran's hair.

"——is one of my little attendants. And she is very reliable. She is willing to come with me this time, which really helps me a lot."

Liu Xiaoran didn't see it, nor did the others in the coffee shop.But Fang Ranran saw it, the way Yu Xiaomin looked at her - a little different.

She thought that Yu Xiaomin would say "She is just a child, she insisted on coming with me", or "I was afraid of being lonely at home, so I brought her here".Yu Xiaomin's rhetoric has always been like this.

Therefore, when she looked back at Yu Xiaomin in surprise, Yu Xiaomin's eyes met hers for two or three seconds.Then, Yu Xiaomin avoided her sight as if running away, and turned to say something to Liu Xiaoran.

This is a feeling of deja vu, which Fang Ranran experienced during the Chinese New Year.At that time, Yu Xiaomin began to avoid herself, and never made eye contact with her.And this kind of avoidance is her subconscious, not deliberate.

At that time, Fang Ranran thought of a possibility.But she didn't dare to confirm it, because she knew that the possibility was too slim.

But now, at this moment, Fang Ranran thought of that possibility again.That possibility has refreshed the relationship between her and Yu Xiaomin - it is no longer a simple elder and junior.A word slowly emerged from the water, and that word was called "Ambiguous".
