just simply love you

Ji Ran's aunt had a great-grandson recently, and her parents brought her to congratulate her.After traveling all the way and not seeing each other for a long time, Ji's father and mother decided to have a wedding banquet before leaving, but Ji Ran was really tired of the noise of a big house, so he found an excuse and sneaked away to the lake near the village to hide. .

What she didn't expect was that as soon as she got to the lake, she saw a familiar figure, it was Su Mei, who was gathering here.

In the shimmering lake, the lotus in the pond is dazzlingly blooming. On the emerald green lotus leaves, the pink petals tremble slightly with the breeze.Su Mei is standing in the summer color of the lotus pond, dancing with water pens, embellishing the beauty of the world silently.

Ji Ran stepped lightly and approached Su Mei quietly.Seeing that Su Mei was painting seriously, she couldn't bear to be disturbed, and just quietly followed her.

Ji Ran didn't know how long he watched from the sidelines, from the white paper covered with only a layer of light cyan background, to the emerald green lotus leaves, the pink petals jumped out on the paper, it seemed that it didn't take long, and it seemed that it had been a long time, but When the eyes are closed, the painting paper is full of flowers blooming in the pond, and the mountains and fields are full of green.

When Su Mei was painting, she had no other distractions. Apart from the scene in front of her eyes, there was nothing that could easily distract her, so she didn't notice when Ji Ran approached quietly.

Putting down the watercolor pen, Su Mei carefully looked at the finished painting, and suddenly felt a shadow cast in front of her, she subconsciously turned around, and saw Ji Ran standing behind her with a smile on his face.

Ji Ran saw the surprise in Su Mei's eyes, she raised her hand and tucked her disheveled hair behind her ears, and smiled gently at Su Mei, "Su Mei, we meet again."

After a brief moment of surprise, Su Mei also looked at Ji Ran with a smile, with her unique style in her eyes, "I never expected to meet you here, Ji Ran."

Su Mei's voice is very pleasant, like a trickle, with a clear sweetness, especially the last "Ji Ran", soft and low, crisp and melodious, Ji Ran couldn't help but feel a thin tingle in her ears. pink.

"I'm here to visit relatives. There are too many people and it's a bit boring to stay here, so I came out to get some air." The restlessness in Ji Ran's heart caused by the noise in the room gradually disappeared because of the person in front of him.

"It's okay to be a family together?" Su Mei lightly brushed her hair, lowering her eyes slightly.She grew up with her grandmother since she was a child, without other relatives, and has never experienced what it feels like to get together with a big family. She has never had it before, and she will never have it in the future.

"It's not very good." Ji Ran shook his head lightly, and sighed, "There are so many people with mixed opinions, there are always some people who like to criticize you based on their blood relationship which is almost nothing, and they obviously say bad things but still act like they are doing it for you. The way you think about it is not as good as a stranger's kindness towards you."

"People who are close to you are more likely to hurt others." Su Mei's eyes were silently covered with a thin layer of frost, and then she said as if chatting, "Did someone say something that made you unhappy?"

"It's nothing, it's just a cliché, it's nothing more than getting married earlier and having children." Ji Ran pulled the corners of his lips helplessly, thinking of the crowd of people in the room surrounding him and talking to each other. She cared deeply about her life-long affairs, and her temples hurt suddenly.

Su Mei was taken aback, so she was bothering about this, she thought someone said something hurtful.But thinking of the urging from Xu Sheng and the others, Su Mei felt sorry for her.

"It seems that you have also been urged." Ji Ran noticed Su Mei's expression and raised his eyebrows.

"It's probably the fate that every single person can't escape." Su Mei smiled and shook her head, feeling helpless for her care for those few friends.

"Are you single?" Ji Ran was surprised, because he was too surprised and ignored the joy that flashed in his heart.

Su Mei raised her eyebrows, and looked at Ji Ran with a half-smile, "Why, can't I be single, aren't you too?"

"I'm different from you." Ji Ran grumbled.

Su Mei laughed and said, "What's different?"

"You are so good-looking, there must be a lot of people chasing you." Ji Ran blinked and made a big circle at Su Mei, "There must be more than this."

Su Mei smiled, and gave Ji Ran a sideways look, she was indescribably coquettish, "If they chase me, I will like them? If someone chases you, you will agree?"

"If you're the one chasing me, I'll think about it." Ji Ran suddenly blinked and smiled at Su Mei, his eyes full of misery.

"I still have to think about it, so I don't want to chase after it." Su Mei spread her hands at Ji Ran and gave up easily.

Ji Ran nodded to Su Mei with a serious expression, "Well, I seem to know why you are single."

Su Mei also said to Ji Ran with a serious expression: "Well, I also seem to know why you are single."

"You are too persistent!"

"You're too picky!"

The two spoke at the same time, then looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing.

Suddenly, a child's cry came from not far away, and the two looked for their reputation, only to see a girl crying terribly, tears falling down like moneyless beads, while the other girl was sitting on the ground, being beaten by five or six people. Surrounded by two boys, one of them grabbed her by the collar, they seemed to be arguing about something, the boy suddenly spat at the girl, the girl turned her face away silently, raised one arm and wiped her dirty face .

Su Mei frowned, and when she was about to stop, she saw Ji Ran running over with a yell.

"What's going on?" Ji Ran frowned and separated the two children who were locked together, and saw that the girl on the ground was covered in dust all over her body, her arms and face were covered with bruises, and there was even traces of blood on the corner of her mouth.On the other hand, the crying girl was completely clean except for a little dust on her buttocks.

The girl on the ground was silent and didn't answer, but the boy said confidently: "She pushed Tweety to the ground first and made her cry. I'm helping Tweety teach her a lesson."

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl on the ground raised her eyes and looked at him. The cruelty in her eyes at that moment made even Ji Ran startled when she saw it, and the boy who was stared at him took a step back unconsciously.

Su Mei looked at the child on the ground, her fingertips trembled slightly, and her ears roared, making her unable to tell what night it was and where she was.She seems to have seen the lonely and helpless self at the beginning. Silence may be her last stubbornness.

"Why did she push you when she's so good? What did you do to her?" Ji Ran looked at Tweety coldly. Since she was the cause, let her explain.

Cui'er looked at the expressionless Ji Ran, and suddenly burst into tears, "She is a bastard that no one wants, and I didn't say anything wrong!"

Su Mei trembled all over, and subconsciously looked at the girl on the ground, only to see the girl bit her lips tightly, blood oozing from between her lips and teeth, but she still didn't make a sound, only her eyes burst into a fierce light.

"Shut up!" Ji Ran yelled angrily, she stared at the group of children, her face was extremely ugly, "Is this how your parents taught you to be human? People can't choose their own origin, you can bully as you please if you live a happy life Are those children from unfortunate families? There is such great malice at such a young age, do you really think that you are young and ignorant and not responsible for your words and deeds?"

The few children had never heard such a great truth, their faces were flushed by Ji Ran's training, and they all remained silent, some even had tears in their eyes.Tweety was biting her lips at this time, tears were rolling in her eyes, but she seemed to be enduring it, stubbornly not letting it fall.

Ji Ran ignored them, she squatted down on her own, and gently hugged the girl on the ground into her arms. The girl resisted struggling at first, but when Ji Ran stroked her hair, the girl suddenly hugged her tightly. Holding her skirt, her thin body leaned into Ji Ran's arms trembling slightly.

Su Mei watched the girl bit her lips in Ji Ran's arms and shed tears silently, and watched Ji Ran pat her back gently and carefully. Gradually, a light mist appeared in her eyes, as if Seeing the distant self through the two of them.

If there was someone who treated me so tenderly at that time, perhaps recalling my childhood would give me a little more warmth.It's a pity that she was not as lucky as this child at the beginning, and she didn't meet such a person to hug herself.

Feeling that the girl in her arms stopped crying, Ji Ran took out a tissue and wiped her tear-stained little face, she raised her eyes and glanced at the children beside her, and said coldly: "If you let me know, which one of you will be happy in the future? If you dare to bully her, your parents don't care, I will help them discipline her, understand?"

The boy refused to accept: "Who do you think you are, why do you care about us!"

Ji Ran sneered, grabbed the boy without saying a word, and slapped his ass hard while the boy was struggling.

Such a big child, butt pain is a trivial matter, mainly because I feel that I have lost face in front of my friends, so I burst into tears, "You dare to hit me, you dare to hit me, I will let my dad come to you for revenge !"

"Go and call your dad over here, I'm afraid you won't succeed." Ji Ran raised his eyebrows and glanced at the boy, then suddenly pulled him in front of his face, and said with a cold face, "But if you dare to bully her again, you will be killed in the future." I see you beat you once, even if your parents are here!"

The boy was silenced by Ji Ran, and the other children were too frightened to look at Ji Ran again.

Ji Ran let go of the boy and pushed him lightly, "Go, go and call your dad, I want to see what kind of parents can raise such a brat like you." That disdainful expression was very hurtful. boy's self-esteem.

"Why, do you feel that your self-esteem has been hurt?" Ji Ran looked at the boy, "Then you did something worthy of respect."

"What is something worthy of respect?" The boy gritted his teeth and asked Ji Ran.

"It is natural to take the initiative to protect those children who are being bullied, instead of becoming one of the bullies." Ji Ran looked at the boy seriously, as if telling him and all the children, "The truly powerful People become stronger and stronger in the process of protecting others time and time again. Bullying others will only make you bluff and fail. Don’t take it for granted to expose other people’s scars just because you are a child. You think you are just joking , but the harm caused by your jokes may take others a lifetime to heal."

The children were silent for a long time. The boy pursed his lips and walked towards the girl suddenly. After standing in front of her, the boy said seriously: "I won't bully you anymore, I will protect you."

Facing the boy's kindness, the girl remained silent.

Ji Ran smiled and patted the girl's head, "Before you become strong, it's not shameful to be sheltered by others. Remember to say thank you to others for their kindness."

The girl pursed her lips when she heard this, she looked up at Ji Ran, then at the boy who was looking at her, and finally said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"We must get along well in the future." Ji Ran winked and smiled at the children, not being so cruel just now, "Okay, it's almost dinner time, let's go home for dinner, otherwise the family members should be worried."

The children who were reminded by Ji Ran dispersed together. The girl originally left with the boy, but she ran back after walking a few steps.

"What's wrong?" Ji Ran looked at the girl with a smile and said softly.

"Thank you." The girl whispered with flushed cheeks.

"You're welcome." Ji Ran replied gently.

As if mustering up her courage, the girl looked up at Ji Ran, "Sister, what's your name?"

"It doesn't matter who your sister is, the important thing is that you learn to protect yourself in the future." Ji Ran was still gentle, she took out a few pieces of candy from her pocket and put them in the girl's hand, and said with a faint smile, "Go, he is waiting for you." you."

The girl clenched the candy in her hand, bit her lip and looked at Ji Ran.

Ji Ran also looked at her with a smile, but said nothing.

The girl nodded to Ji Ran, turned around and ran towards the boy. After a while, the two figures disappeared at the end of the road.

Su Mei, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly asked, "Why didn't you tell her your name?"

"It's just a chance meeting." Ji Ran lowered his eyes, but there was a trace of indifference in his gentle voice, "The future road still depends on her to walk alone. I am just a passer-by in her life, so there is no need to leave a name."

"Then why are you willing to tell me your name?" Su Mei asked softly, looking at Ji Ran quietly.

Looking at those charming peach blossom eyes, Ji Ran felt a string in his heart was gently plucked, as if a long time ago, there was someone who looked at her like this, and her eyes were so captivating.But she clearly knew that such a person had never appeared in her life.This feeling is really inexplicable and cannot be ignored.

Ji Ran sighed: "Su Mei, do you believe in fate?"

Su Mei shook her head quietly.

Ji Ran smiled softly: "I didn't believe in fate before, but now, I always feel that I have a special bond with you." Ji Ran suddenly winked at Su Mei, "Maybe we will meet again in the near future."

Su Mei raised her eyebrows, and a sultry smile appeared on her lips, "Then I'll wait for Miss Ji's appearance with hope in my heart."
