just simply love you

After a busy day, Ji Ran stretched his waist as it was approaching the end of get off work. Finally, the work was almost done, and the rest can be done tomorrow. Anyway, there is no rush.

"Xiao Ji, what delicious food do you go home tonight?" Sister Zhou is the most troublesome person in the office at meal time. She doesn't know what to cook for her husband and children when she gets home, so she always asks other people in the office. What will we have for dinner? It's Ji Ran's question this time.

"I'm going to the supermarket to buy some meat and vegetables, and cook hot pot at home." Ji Ran laughed.

Ji Ran wanted to ask Cheng Cheng to go out to eat hot pot together today, but Cheng Cheng has been too busy recently. She was interviewing the owner of a bar, but she couldn't get an appointment, so she could only go to the bar and wait there, and had no time to go to Ji Ran. Of course.That being the case, Ji Ran didn't bother to ask others, and prepared to cook something at home by himself.

"Yes, it's good to eat hot pot. You can just buy the ingredients and cook at home. It's not as troublesome as cooking. It's better to clean up." Sister Zhou was very satisfied with this dinner. She said enthusiastically to Ji Ran, "Xiao Ji, I'll take Let the child take you there, let's go shopping together?"

"No need, Sister Zhou, we're not on the way either. I'll just go to the supermarket in front of our community to buy it. You can pick up the child quickly. Don't make the child wait." Ji Ran has always been very polite to his colleagues in the office, unwilling trouble them.

"That's fine, then I'll go first." Sister Zhou took a look and walked out of the office first.

One after another, everyone began to pack their things and leave.

Next to the freezer section of the supermarket, Ji Ran randomly took two boxes of meat rolls. Anyway, if you can't finish eating, you can put them in the refrigerator to freeze. He also took lettuce and mushrooms from the fresh section, and Ji Ran pushed the car directly to the seasoning section. to go, but there she met someone she didn't want to meet.

It's really been a long time since we met, so long that Ji Ran has forgotten that she and Yan Qing's house are very close, and both of them like to come to this supermarket to buy things.

Looking at Yan Qing, who was squatting there carefully choosing the base material, and Lu Jiang, who was standing beside her and looking at her with a smile, Ji Ran stopped moving forward, and when he was about to turn around, Yan Qing picked out the base material and stood up. While handing the bottom material to Lu Jiang, he caught a glimpse of Ji Ran in the aisle from the corner of his eye.

"Of course." Yan Qing stopped Ji Ran, walked quickly to her side, his eyes were full of surprises, "Why are you here?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Ji Ran had no choice but to point to the ingredients in the car, and smiled, "What a coincidence, Qingqing, I'm here to buy vegetables, and I want to cook hot pot tonight."

"Do you want to eat hot pot too?" Yan Qing looked at Ji Ran with a soft voice, just like her.

"We met again, Ji Ran." Lu Jiang greeted Ji Ran with a smile, and shook the hot pot base in his hand to Ji Ran, "We also want to eat hot pot tonight, why don't we come to our house together, there are so many people Eating hot pot is lively."

When Ji Ran heard the words "our family", Ji Ran's hand on the cart was tightened, and his fingertips turned white.She raised her eyes to look at Lu Jiang, then glanced at Yan Qing again, narrowed her eyes slightly, coldness floated in her eyes, but she still maintained a smile on her face, "No, I won't bother you, you guys eat."

"Of course..." Yan Qing subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover the back of Ji Ran's hand. She felt the coldness of Ji Ran's fingertips, and hesitated to speak.

Ji Ran pretended to be looking for her mobile phone, and pulled her hand out calmly. There was still Yan Qing's residual warmth on the back of her hand, but she only felt that she was in the severe winter of March and September, and she was always cold from the outside to the bottom of her heart.

Lu Jiang didn't hear Ji Ran's refusal, he just thought she was being polite, and persuaded with a smile, "Why bother, you and Qingqing have such a good relationship, she's been talking to me all day long and I haven't seen you for a long time Woolen cloth."

Ji Ran frowned, even though she was full of resistance in her heart, she couldn't show it. After all, Lu Jiang had good intentions, and it was only herself who was awkward.

"I..." Just as Ji Ran opened his mouth, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder, and the familiar fragrance rushed into Ji Ran's nostrils.

"Ji Ran, haven't you bought it yet, we should go back." The voice of the visitor was clear, sweet and charming.

Ji Ran looked back, and Su Mei's smiling eyebrows came into view.I saw her wink at Ji Ran lightly, her eyes full of smiles narrowed a bit, but also revealed a sense of understanding, she spoke so naturally, as if the two came together, and naturally they were going to return together of.

Ji Ranfu felt his heart, his eyes were filled with warmth when he looked at Su Mei, and completely dispelled the chill in his eyes, "It's almost time, I just bought all the bottom materials, just in time to meet a friend and chat for a while."

"Really?" Su Mei looked at Yan Qing and Lu Jiang with smiling eyes, she nodded to them in a friendly way, and said hello, "Hello."

Ji Ran came to his senses, stood side by side with Su Mei, and introduced to her with a smile: "This is Yan Qing, my high school classmate, and next to her is her boyfriend, Lu Jiang." Then Ji Ran glanced at Yan Qing, The smile remained, "This is my friend, Su Mei."

"Hello." Yan Qing responded to Su Mei with a smile, his eyes lingering on her body with a hint of hostility.Instinctively, she didn't want to see Ji Ran and Su Mei stand together, there seemed to be a different tacit understanding between them, which she had never felt when Ji Ran was with others.She didn't want to see the two of them so close, and didn't want Ji Ran to go back with her. A sense of crisis that she had never felt before spread in Yan Qing's heart, and she couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Ji Ran's wrist.

"Of course, we haven't seen each other for a long time. You are always not free to ask you out recently. We finally met today. Let's go to the store to eat hot pot together." After finishing speaking, Yan Qing looked at Su Mei with a smile, "If Miss Su doesn't mind, Let's go together."

Looking at the white and slender fingers holding Ji Ran's wrist, the corners of Su Mei's lips curled up, and she felt amused in her heart. Is she being too provocative? She is blatantly robbing people, and she looks like she is taking the initiative to invite people, which is really uncomfortable ah.

Looking at Ji Ran, who unconsciously clenched the handle of the cart beside her, showing the blue veins on the back of her hand, Su Mei raised the corners of her lips, and politely declined to Yan Qing: "Miss Yan, I'm sorry, there are still friends waiting for us at home." Well, you and Ji Ran should meet again next time."

After finishing speaking, Su Mei moved her fingertips down, grabbed Ji Ran's other wrist, pulled it lightly, left the stroller, and held it in her palm, "What do you think, Ji Ran, they can hold it at home. Waiting for us to go back and fire."

Su Mei's hand was suddenly wrapped in the palm of her hand, Ji Ran was slightly taken aback, she felt a surge of heat, her whole body was burning badly, especially her hand, she felt so hot that her fingertips were slightly numb, as if she had lost all consciousness Generally speaking, Su Mei can only let Su Mei hold her tightly.

"Well, let's buy something and go back quickly, don't make them wait too long." Ji Ran suppressed the throbbing in his heart, looked at Su Mei with a smile on his face, and said to Yan Qing and the others as if embarrassed, "Qing Qing, let’s make an appointment next time, and you and Lu Jiang should go back earlier, and be careful on the road.”

Knowing that she couldn't force her anymore, Yan Qing grabbed Ji Ran's wrist tightly, and pointed out: "Of course, then I won't force you this time, but next time I ask you out, you can't break the appointment. "

"En." Ji Ran lowered his eyes and responded lightly.

With Ji Ran's consent, Yan Qing let go of her wrist, said goodbye to the two, and walked towards the cashier together with Lu Jiang.

But before parting, Yan Qing raised his eyes to look at Su Mei, there seemed to be deep meaning in his eyes, Su Mei stood beside Ji Ran without avoiding, staring at her, like a silent gunpowder, the two The confrontation has been completed quietly.No one noticed except themselves.

After Yan Qing left, a bitter smile appeared on Ji Ran's lips.It turned out that it still hurts to see each other again, and she still couldn't be completely indifferent.She is so tired of being like this, cowardly and useless, she has no other way but to avoid it.

A hand suddenly touched the top of Ji Ran's head, gently stroking the ends of her hair.Ji Ran was slightly startled, and looked up, only to see Su Mei with a gentle smile on her brows, "Hey, let's go home together."

Su Mei's eyes radiated a soft light, she just said a word so softly, but Ji Ran felt that he had obtained great strength from it, and even the pain brought by Yan Qing in his heart gradually disappeared.

The smile extended from Ji Ran's eyes again, but without a trace of reluctance or hesitation, she responded softly, "Okay."

The two of them were walking home, as if they just remembered, Ji Ran suddenly whispered to Su Mei: "Su Mei, thank you just now."

Su Mei smiled, she didn't expect Ji Ran's reflex arc to be so long, remembering what Ji Ran said to herself that night, she couldn't help but said narrowly: "Is it just a thank you?"

Su Mei came to the supermarket to buy batteries, but accidentally saw Ji Ran, and saw that she seemed to be talking to someone, and wanted to say hello to her before leaving, but for some reason, when she got closer, she felt Seeing Ji Ran's resistance to those two people.Ji Ran's silent figure is like a lonely boat floating in the sea, and there is no trace of support in the vast world.

Without any hesitation, Su Mei walked up to Ji Ran. At least at this moment, she wanted Ji Ran to know that she was not alone.

"Then I'll buy you a drink?" Ji Ran chuckled, obviously thinking about that night, and even the answer was the same as Su Mei's.

"I can learn to speak like others, without any sincerity." Su Mei gave Ji Ran a sideways look, and pretended to be dissatisfied and sneered.

"Then how about..." Ji Ran paused, seeing Su Mei looking at him curiously, and suddenly invited, "Come to my house to eat hot pot, how about it, are you sincere?"

Su Mei was startled, she didn't expect Ji Ran to invite herself to her house.Home is a very private domain for an individual. If it is not for a good relationship, people will not invite others to be guests. So for Ji Ran, is she already a friend who can go to her house as a guest?Thinking of this, Su Mei's mood instantly brightened, and the unhappiness that Yan Qing brought just now was swept away. After all, Su Mei still felt displeased in that silent confrontation.

But when Su Mei squinted at the plastic bag in Ji Ran's hand, she seemed to remind her, "Ji Ran, although you are very sincere, did you forget to buy something?"

"What?" Ji Ran was puzzled, following Su Mei's gaze, he looked down at the bag in his hand, and suddenly patted himself on the forehead, annoyed, "I forgot to buy the hot pot base!" In the episode, she completely forgot that she wanted to buy the hot pot bottom material. This is really everything, only the bottom material is needed.

Seeing Ji Ran's pitiful and annoyed little face, Su Mei smiled, her heart suddenly moved, she blurted out before she could think deeply, "I have them at home, why don't you come to my house."

As soon as the words fell, both of them were startled.

Su Mei is actually a person with strong domain awareness. She has never invited others to the house left by her grandmother, even Xu Sheng and the others did not. But today, she invited Ji Ran so naturally.

"Is it possible?" Ji Ran was the first to react, she looked at Su Mei in surprise, her bright eyes seemed to be filled with bright stars, shining brightly.

Seeing Ji Ran's happy face, the last hesitation in Su Mei's heart dissipated, she looked softly into her eyes, and smiled slightly, "Yes."
