After the stand-in resigned

After that day, the relationship between An Fan and Ling Ran improved a lot, but it only stayed at a much better level.

An Fan lived in the villa in Xishan District. He usually eats at school, and only goes back to this place when he sleeps.

Aunt Zhang occasionally came to make soup for her to nourish her body, Anfan only drank soup, and didn't ask or inquire about anything else, and lived a peaceful and peaceful life.

Xia Ping would call her more frequently than before, and the content was mostly to ask her about her health, and she rarely persuaded her to go home, perhaps because she knew she didn't want to.

But there are still calls to persuade her to go home, and the content is still linked to Ling Ran.

An Fan thought that Xia Ping had misunderstood the relationship between her and Ling Ran, because every time she mentioned this matter, she would say, "You can take Ling Ran home for dinner together." An Fan didn't know that she was trying to show a mother The generosity was her sincere repentance, but An Fan didn't tell the truth, she made the mistake, making them all think that she and Ling Ran were already together.

There are always exceptions.

In the middle of the third round of review, there are a few textbooks that Anfan will use next week at home. There is no delay in business. In addition, the weather is getting colder, and the school’s winter uniforms are still at home. Due to various reasons, Anfan decided to Take a trip home to replenish supplies.

The idea was very free and easy, but before going home, An Fan really struggled for a while.

As time went by, An Fan didn't feel that the conflict between her and her parents had reached the point of irreconcilability, especially Xia Ping's frequent phone calls, and her kind and gentle tone always made her feel that she was a wayward and unreasonable daughter. An Fan knew that She is not, but she still needs someone to tell her that she is not, so she asked Ling Ran for help, and Ling Ran told her clearly that this matter was not her willfulness, and that her parents' partiality was not advisable, and she was expressing her demands legitimately.

The method was very reasonable, but An Fan gradually didn't know why she came to Xishan District, the only thing she could be sure of was that she didn't want to go back to that home.

Yes, don't want to go home.

I don't know how to deal with this situation.

If the conflict between her and her parents was on the surface, she would deal with it directly, without saying a word when she got home, and leave after taking the things, without delay for a minute.

But not now, An Fan can't tell exactly what the situation is, the cold war is obviously not advisable, but An Fan can't do it like in the past when nothing happened, and An Fan has no idea what to do after returning home.

But he had to go home, and An Fan, who struggled for a while, finally made up his mind, and sent Xia Ping a text message before going home, the content was very simple, I will go home to pick up something tonight.

An Fan threw the nerve-wracking problem to her parents, and she made up her mind that she would respond to whatever they did to her.

When get out of class was over, An Fan packed his schoolbag and walked out of the school gate. He accidentally saw An Zhize's car. He stood a few steps away from the car and looked around. When he saw her, he immediately waved his hand excitedly and shouted enthusiastically: "Niannian !"

An Fan pulled his lips and smiled, clutching the strap of his schoolbag in his hand, he walked up bravely, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Mom said you will go home today, let me pick you up." An Zhize started to open the door, and invited: "Get in the car."

The atmosphere on the road was quite harmonious. An Zhize avoided talking about core issues, only asked about the current situation, and told An Fan not to study too hard, and chatted all the way home.

At the door of the house, An Fan took a deep breath before pushing the door open.

She didn't check what was going on in the house immediately. When she lowered her head to change her shoes, Xia Ping greeted her enthusiastically. This tone really shouldn't be a mother talking to her daughter. An Fan felt a little sad when she heard it, and had a feeling of saying no. feeling out.

An Fan then parted his lips and smiled at her. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of An Qingyi sitting on the sofa, and Ling Ran beside her.

For a moment, her eyes widened.

——Why did Ling Ran come?

Xia Ping rubbed her hands aside and said, "I heard that when you go home tonight, mom called Ling Ran here on her own initiative, and we'll have a lively meal together. You won't blame mom, will you?"

An Fan felt in a daze that it was unrealistic for her to leave after taking her things, at least she had to stay for dinner, after all Ling Ran was still there.

An Fan shook his head, but didn't say much, he clutched his empty schoolbag tightly and said, "I'm going to the room to pack my things."

The textbooks he was looking for were found, and the winter clothes he needed were already packed. An Fan sat down on the edge of the bed, hesitating, when there was a knock on the door, Ling Ran opened the door and walked in.

Arriving just in time, An Fan waited for her to approach, lowered his voice and asked, "Why did you come!"

Ling Ran said it rightly: "I heard that you were going home today, and I was afraid that you would be wronged. It happened that they invited me to dinner, so I came together."

Ling Ran raised her eyes, looked around, and asked leisurely, "Have you packed everything you need to bring?"

Time was running out, An Fan didn't have time to talk about this, she explained the situation concisely: "They think I'm with you now, so you have to cooperate with me later, don't say anything..."

An Fan struggled for a long time, but still felt that it would be more appropriate to make mistakes.Explain why she and Ling Ran are not together, explain why she would lie about it... Just thinking about it is a headache, why not ask Ling Ran to cooperate with her in acting.

Ling Ran was surprised for less than a second, without asking why, just nodded: "Yes."

An Fan raised his eyebrows with joy, and subconsciously grabbed Ling Ran's shoulders to walk out. This was a small gesture transmitted by her deskmate. When he was happy, he would love to hug her shoulders, and she learned it subtly.

But within a second of holding the shoulder, An Fan started to feel awkward again, because the object was Ling Ran, and Ling Ran liked her, so this action was inappropriate.

Ling Ran calmly put the stiff hands on her shoulders on her arms, as if correcting her: "Couples have to go here."

An Fan obediently took her by the arm and walked out.She thought that Ling Ran must have seen her discomfort, but she didn't say much, and even helped her out, which was inexplicably heart-warming.

The seats at the dinner table have changed, and An Fan and Ling Ran are now on one side. The change of positions in a short period of time seems ridiculous, especially since it also confirms a change in a certain relationship.

An Fan tried his best not to be affected, and concentrated on eating.

At the dinner table, An Zhize and Ling Ran were mostly chatting, and Xia Ping served An Fan dishes from a distance, just like she used to take care of An Qingyi, An Fan looked tired and said, "I can eat by myself. "

Xia Ping shyly withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Then you eat by yourself, eat more."

An Fan didn't mean to make Xia Ping lose face on purpose, she was indeed tired, she looked tired, and Xia Ping felt tired too.

It is not appropriate to apply the way of being considerate to An Qingyi to her, and An Fan also finds that he doesn't want it now.

An Qingyi, who had been silent all this time, said: "That shrimp I have always liked every year, Mr. Ling, please help me change places."

Ling Ran, who was named, looked up, looked at An Fan, and moved the garlic prawns from the corner of the table to An Fan. An Fan said in the gap, "I don't want it, I don't want to eat it."

"Then have a bowl of soup..." An Qingyi said while helping to serve the soup: "Flower Maw Coconut Chicken, I heard that you are going back. Mom has been busy in the kitchen for a long time."

She held the soup in both hands and handed it over, looking at her sincerely.

She looks like a good older sister now, not only her older sister, but also her parents seem to only favor her. The whole family is looking at her, as if it is such a big deal for her to pout and stare.

The atmosphere at the table was very strange. In order not to make the atmosphere even more strange, An Fan took the bowl of soup, took a sip, and commented: "It's delicious."

"As long as you like it, as long as you like it." Xia Ping said it twice in succession with joy, her eyes flickering faintly, and said that she would cook it for her next time she came home.

An Fan continued to drink the soup without saying a word, and suddenly heard An Qingyi ask, "When did Mr. Ling stay with us every year?"

She seemed to be gossiping, looking at Ling Ran innocently: "Why doesn't she like to talk too much, you didn't bully her, did you?"

For a while, An Fan really didn't understand what An Qingyi wanted to ask, and whether she was asking as a sister or as Ling Ran's admirer. An Fan wanted to hold Ling Ran back from answering. , Unexpectedly, Ling Ran's cell phone rang at this moment, she glanced at the screen first, and then replied: "It's been a while."

She picked up the phone and said, "I don't know if I bullied her or not, so that Anfan won't say bad things about me in front of me. I'll go out and answer the phone, and you can talk." After she finished speaking, she rubbed Anfan's face head, got up and left.

An Fan felt that Ling Ran's answer was pretty good, at least the girlfriend's character set stood still, and she met the probing gazes of the three, and said slowly, "No, she didn't bully me."

Ling Ran came back quickly after answering the phone, sat down and said, "My mother, asked me if I would take Anfan home this week, and also said that she went shopping in the afternoon and bought some winter clothes for Anfan, and asked when I would pick them up. .”

She seemed to be explaining the content of the call, then handed the phone to An Fan and said, "I took a picture, see if you like it?"

When An Fan took the phone, he was still thinking that Ling Ran's acting was really well done, and there were new winter clothes, but when he looked at the screen, there was no winter clothes, and there was only one line on it: "If you want to leave, I will find a way."

An Fan shook his head, and answered yes, but An Zhize thought that An Fan was picky about his winter clothes, and said, "Hey, you can't be rude! If you don't like the things bought by the elders, you have to accept them and say thank you."

An Fan couldn't laugh or cry, looked at Ling Ran, and gave her an innocent look.

Ling Ran never thought that there was such a misunderstanding, so she could only help out: "It's okay, just leave it to me when the time comes."

She said that the relationship between the two of them is already very good. While admiring An Fan, she couldn't help but wonder if the lie was getting bigger and bigger. Now she and Ling Ran have seen their parents and are about to live together. How will they get along in the future?

If you can't think of an answer to a nerve-wracking question, don't think about it for the time being.

After the meal, An Fan was about to leave with his schoolbag on his back, but was dragged by Xia Ping to say that he would stay another night. After some stalemate, Ling Ran stood up and said, "Auntie, it's like this. We were going back to my mother's house for dinner today. She called just now to ask this, it's my fault, she didn't make it clear to An Fan immediately, she thought she had to go there, so she left in a hurry."

Ling Ran discussed, "Why don't I call my mom later? Just tell her that Anfan won't be coming, and tell her not to wait."

When Ling Ran said this, Xia Ping naturally couldn't insist anymore, she said: "Since we have made an appointment, let's go, it's not good to wait too long."

Ling Ran still declined, saying that her mother's side was fine, Xia Ping insisted that breaking the appointment was not good, and after a few pushes, An Fan logically got into Ling Ran's car and left home.

On the way, An Fan sincerely thanked her, Ling Ran laughed and said, "I won't go home if I don't want to."

An Fan murmured: "It's not that I don't want to go back, it's just that it's weird..."

An Fan looked at Ling Ran in the driver's seat, and appealed to his mind: "I feel that they are all looking at me, it's very strange, and I don't want to be like this."

Ling Ran made a timely suggestion: "Then find a time to chat with them? Talk about your thoughts, some people are like this, you don't tell her she will never know what you think."

An Fan was terrified when he thought about the scene, and shook his head: "I don't want it anymore, so be it."

Ling Ran laughed: "Then are you still going home?"

An Fan thought about it in a difficult situation: "If she calls again."

What Anfan didn't expect was that Xia Ping called so quickly. At the end of the weekend, Xia Ping called again, saying that the soup was ready, and asking if she would return.

After rejecting it two or three times in a row, and it was unreasonable to refuse again, An Fan felt that it was better to go home.

But before going home, An Fan called Ling Ran.She talked a lot, but didn't talk about the main points. Fortunately, Ling Ran didn't look too busy. No matter what she said, she patiently agreed with her. Even when she complained that there were fewer clouds in the sky than yesterday, she could answer "" It’s a pity, I like watching clouds by the window when I’m free.” An Fan thought it was almost time, and asked her, “Aren’t you busy today?”

Ling Ran stopped signing, glanced at the pile of documents at hand, and said unconscionably, "I'm not very busy."

The assistant next to her was still holding a large number of documents. She looked over with wide eyes and saw Ling Ranyun lightly smiling at the phone: "Can I help you?"

"Ah..." An Fan grabbed the leaves of the tree, tore off a piece, and ravaged it with his fingertips, and asked, "Can you accompany me home for dinner tonight?"

"Yes..." Ling Ran responded heartily: "Why do you have to make a lot of preparations when you invite me to dinner? Isn't this something I should be happy about?"

"It's just..." An Fan said: "Maybe I have to pretend to be a girlfriend."

Ling Ran said, "That's something I'm more happy about."

An Fan's ears were inexplicably warm, and she didn't know what to say, so she blurted out a goodbye, and quickly hung up the phone.

Clutching the phone, An Fan's heart was still pounding, she thought, please do it this time, and when she adjusts her mentality, she won't need Ling Ran to accompany her.

Facts have proved that adjusting the mentality is a technical job, but calling to ask for help is easy. After An Fan couldn't count how many times he had asked Ling Ran, the third year of high school ushered in a week-long winter vacation.

The winter vacation is the annual vacation, and the 27th of the new year falls on the fourth day of the first lunar month. It is a traditional festival for family reunion. Anfan has no reason to stay in Xishan District. Similarly, she can no longer ask Ling Ran to go home with her. After all, people have families too. To reunite.

Two days before the holiday, Anfan stayed in the bedroom. Xia Ping often brought snacks or fruits to her room. Seeing that she was always doing homework, she told her not to bother too much. It was fine to come out to play games or watch TV. Pay attention to work and rest. combined.

An Fan said yes, but in fact he still did his homework.

On the one hand, there is a lot of homework in the third year of high school, and on the other hand, there is also the reason why she doesn't want to go to the living room. She still feels awkward staying in the same space with her family.

Secretly awkward.

Xia Ping's caring care for An Qingyi is as usual, and this caring has been distributed to An Fan today. In the past, An Fan would feel happy, but now there is a feeling that this caring is only due to her troubles. idea.Even though he knew her idea was wrong, An Fan still couldn't resolve it.

If she was in a bad mood, she went to find Ling Ran.This is a small habit that An Fan has developed in the past few months.

Ling Ran seemed to be there all the time, even if she couldn't sleep at three o'clock in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, she could send a random "Hello" to her, and she could quickly reply "I'm here", which felt very reassuring.

An Fan understands that there is no such thing as a good thing without a reason in the world, and she thinks that Ling Ran indulges in every possible way because she likes it, if she doesn't like it, she should keep a distance, it is obviously inappropriate to be confused like this.

The difficult thing is that she can neither distance nor ignore Ling Ran. She is a little used to finding her immediately when encountering any problems. Ling Ran seems to be omnipotent. No matter what difficulties she raises, she can solve.

The current relationship isn't quite right, but it doesn't go any further either.

An Fan attributed the reason to Ling Ran no longer resorting to those ambiguous words.At the beginning, she could still hear Ling Ran say some ambiguous words such as girlfriend, as if hinting at her, but now she doesn't mention it at all, quietly, just listen to her, her identity has changed into a caring big sister , or the tree.

An Fan drew the tree behind her school card, the tree she used to relieve her worries.

In the past, she faced the tree to relieve negative emotions, then it was the fake tree on the school card, and now it is Ling Ran.

An Fan couldn't remember how long it had been since she looked at the school card.

In the dead of night, An Fan also reviewed the relationship between her and Ling Ran, or her feelings for Ling Ran. An Fan felt that he should like him a little bit, no matter how bad he was, he would always be dependent.

If Ling Ranti likes her, she should agree to be together, An Fan thought, it's not that difficult for her to like someone.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and the flavor of the year was made up of people. It was not easy for An Fan to stay in the bedroom all the time, so she moved to the living room, listening to her parents discussing whether to go to her grandparents' house for the New Year.

Xia Ping's negative opinion was because of An Qingyi's body. An Qingyi had just lived in the hospital once a year ago, and Xia Ping didn't want her to make trouble anymore, even though An Qingyi had always stated that she was fine.

In the stalemate, An Zhize asked An Fan's opinion, An Fan was surprised for a moment, and said casually, "I can do it." Usually, she just obeyed in this kind of thing, and she was used to it.

The final result of the discussion was that An Zhize went to pick up his grandparents, An Fan was noncommittal, and there was still some time before the New Year's Eve dinner, An Fan was bored, so he sent Ling Ran a message: What are you doing.

Ling Ran came back after a while, and sent a photo of the desk, and she wrote: working overtime.

It's too pitiful to work overtime on New Year's Eve, An Fan sent a cat rubbing his head emoji, Ling Ran came back and rolled around, An Fan was amused, and at the same time felt an impulse, she wanted to find Ling Ran.

The impulse came unexpectedly, Anfan didn't dare to delay, and immediately went back to the room, changed his clothes, and was about to go out with his mobile phone in his hand.

"I'm going out for a while!" An Fan shouted at the people who were busy in the kitchen while changing his shoes.

"Where are you going?" Xia Ping returned, An Fan raised her head to prevaricate, but met An Qingyi's calm gaze, and she asked, "Are you looking for Ling Ran?"

An Fan originally wanted to talk about buying teaching materials, but she didn't want to lie to An Qingyi anymore, so she nodded: "She's working overtime, let me accompany her." After speaking, she turned and left without seeing An Qingyi's expression up.

After taking a taxi to the downstairs of Lingran's company, An Fan looked up at the towering building in front of him, and retreated inexplicably. Was she too impulsive?

—Go in, or go back?

An Fan struggled downstairs for quite a while, when his phone rang suddenly, it was Ling Ran calling.

An Fan connected without saying anything, and heard Ling Ran's voice coming from the other side: "I just looked up at the clouds in the sky, there are a few more clouds than yesterday, are you happy?"

An Fan then looked up at the sky, the blue sky surrounded by white clouds, indeed more than yesterday, she said: "Happy."

Ling Ran laughed: "Then I lowered my head again and found that there was a person standing at the door of my company who looked very much like you. Am I wrong?"

An Fan looked up at the building again, but couldn't tell where Ling Ran was, so he replied, "That's right."

Ling Ran was silent for a while, her voice changed a little, and she said, "Come up, I'm in the conference room on the third floor."

An Fan was led up to the third floor by Ling Ran's assistant. She thought she would see Ling Ran as soon as she reached the third floor, so she was nervous all the way. Unexpectedly, she was taken by the assistant to the small room next to the conference room , there is a leather sofa in the room, in front of the sofa is a coffee table with refreshments on it, a piece of glass is opened in the wall in front of the coffee table, and the details of the meeting room can be seen in full view.

The assistant said from the side: "Boss Ling still has a meeting, you can wait here for a while, if you have anything to tell me."

An Fan nodded his thanks, looked at Ling Ran in the conference room, and inexplicably calmed down from his nervousness.

She knew what she was here for.

The meeting was about to end, An Fan was led to Ling Ran's office by his assistant, and after a while Ling Ran arrived after the meeting.

She looked at her for a few seconds and smiled: "Why did you come?"

An Fan said: "I feel sorry for you working overtime, so I came to see you. I didn't expect so many people to accompany you to work overtime."

Ling Ran said: "Something went wrong temporarily, and there was no need to add it."

She walked to the coffee table and drank half a glass of water, then looked at An Fan and said, "I'm glad you can come to see me."

An Fan pursed his lips. She was about to ignite spontaneously. She didn't want to keep talking about this, so she said, "I saw you in a meeting just now. You are amazing."

"Is it fierce?"

An Fan thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's okay."

Ling Ran didn't know if he was joking or it was real, and he was saying, "Just sit there and watch as I think about you, I purposely restrained my temper, lest you might be scared."

An Fan blinked: "Even if you are fierce, I won't be scared, right?" She is not a child.

"Really?" Ling Ran's face changed instantly, the sharpness in his eyes really stunned An Fan.

She laughed again: "I'm teasing you, so you don't have to tease me."

Ling Ran looked at the time. It was five o'clock. It was not time for dinner, but there was nothing wrong with eating at this time. She asked, "Are you hungry?"

An Fan shook his head. She didn't want to talk about it either. Halfway through the deliberation, she mentioned again: "Don't you want to know why I'm here?"

Ling Ran smiled for no reason, and asked along, as if bewitching: "Why are you here?"

An Fan took two steps closer, but it was too close, so she stepped back, looked at Ling Ran and said, "I found that I like you a little bit."

Ling Ran smiled: "Really?"

An Fan was stunned for two seconds. This was really not what she imagined. If Ling Ran liked her, shouldn't they be mentioned together?

An Fan was stunned: "You don't like me anymore?"

Ling Ran was afraid of making people anxious, so she hurriedly stepped forward to embrace him, and said, "How come, I have always liked it, and I'm just waiting for you to fall in love."

She hugged her and murmured: "You don't even know how long I've been waiting for your words."

An Fan recalled the time the two had known each other, and retorted: "It doesn't seem long..."

Ling Ran disagreed quite a bit, and buried her head in rubbing against her neck.

This scale really exceeded An Fan's expectations. She struggled to break away, panting slightly, with moisture in her eyes and flushed cheeks, she said, "It's a bit fast."

Ling Ran smiled and stopped moving her.

In order to ease the atmosphere, An Fan racked his brains to find something to talk to, and murmured, "I really thought you didn't like me just now."

"Why do you think so..." Ling Ran was helpless, got up and took a tablet from the desk, tapped the screen a few times and handed it to her: "Look."

An Fan took it suspiciously, looking at the full screen of the schedule, he still didn't understand Ling Ran's meaning.

Ling Ran hugged the person: "I'm so busy, I almost have no time to go to the toilet. Every day, you can chat if you want to chat, and eat if you want to eat. Do you think I like it?"

An Fan was stunned, his face was hot, and he was silent for a while.

Ling Ran grabbed the man's hand, interlocked his fingers, and asked deliberately: "Is this together?"

An Fan said, "Forget it."

Ling Ran was dissatisfied: "How do you call it a calculation? This is it!"

An Fan was even more dissatisfied: "Then you know everything and still ask me on purpose?"

Ling Ran hugged the man and smiled, but didn't speak.She could vaguely guess Anfan's purpose for coming here today, but she wanted Anfan to explain it himself.

So Ling Ran also cheated this time: "I want to hear it from you."

An Fan hesitated for a while, then nodded solemnly: "Yes."

After ordering, I still felt that it was not enough, so I turned around and hugged her, and whispered in her ear, "We are together!"

【Finish】

The author has something to say: I have to write a lot more, and it's good to end here.
