Moonlight falls into my arms

The two started rambling, while Ruan Li and Xiao Lan listened attentively.

"They're all so funny." Ruan Li and Xiao Lan whispered to each other, "Our Pear was so cute when she was little, she even used watercolor pens to put on makeup."

"If you keep talking nonsense, when you were a kid, you went to the river with your Barbie doll and got swept away with it. I was the one who saved you!"

Wow, you've been talking about this for eighteen years!

"Screw your eighteen years, I'm only eighteen this year."

"But I didn't say eighteen years, did I? We didn't see each other much in the following years, so how did you know I said that? Do you have super hearing?"

"I didn't compete with others in peeing distance! It was them who wanted to compete, not me."

"You still competed, didn't you?"

“If you say that again, I’ll post what you did when you were a kid on the school forum.”

"If you hang up, I'll hang up too."

Ruan Li shook her head, pulling Xiao Lan along: "Let's go choose a board first, they might argue for a while."

Two childish kids.

Xiao Lan looked at the two of them and said, "Their argument is quite interesting."

"Luckily, I didn't have any childhood sweethearts, otherwise I'd have more embarrassing stories than pears." Ruan Li put a chain over her mouth. "I'm so glad."

Ruan Li opened her phone and went into her photo album.

"I remember taking a screenshot when Pear told me the model number last time..."

She opened the photo album and searched through it.

"What's this?" Xiao Lan pointed to Ruan Li's photo album.

When Ruan Li saw the photo, it was of Jiang Yuci.

That day at the hospital, he was playing with the cat next to his bedside when Ruan Li took this photo.

Is he the person you like?

“Mm.” Ruan Li nodded.

"You have excellent taste; he's very outstanding."

Ruan Li laughed at her: "How can you tell he's outstanding just by looking at him? Are you just judging by his looks?"

"No, his name is Jiang Yuci, I know him."

Ruan Li asked in surprise, "You know him?"

"It's a one-sided acquaintance. I've wanted to study medicine since I was little. He was on the news before. I was very young at that time. When I decided to study medicine in high school, I searched for many celebrities online to find idols to inspire myself. He was the top science student in the country and got into Peking University. It is said that he was originally recommended to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, but I don't know why he changed his mind at the last minute."

"Wow, that's amazing." Ruan Li looked at the person in the photo.

“His family is well-off too,” Xiao Lan said.

Ruan Li then asked, "How did you figure that out?"

"His demeanor suggests that he grew up in a good environment, but there's no information about his family background online."

"By the way, Lili, what major did you apply for in college?" Xiaolan asked casually.

Ruan Li fell silent.

When she first arrived, she didn't even have an ID card. The school didn't recognize her, the teachers didn't know her, and she couldn't even find her parents.

Let alone going to school, even surviving is difficult.

“I didn’t get to go to school.” Ruan Li shrugged. “Eighteen years of hard study, all for nothing.”

"..." Xiao Lan fell silent. "Let's go take a look."

Ruan Li knew that she didn't bring it up on purpose, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, things are pretty good now. I can earn money, I have a house, I can sleep in every day, and I'm doing what I love. I'm super, super satisfied."

What's even more satisfying is that I also got to know Jiang Yuci.

Ruan Li and Xiao Lan came in after they finished arguing, having just bought the drawing board, and it seemed they had reached some kind of consensus.

"Have you reconciled?"

The two exchanged a glance and then looked away, their eyes filled with mutual disgust: "It's impossible in this lifetime."

Ruan Li hugged her beloved drawing board and said, "Let's go, let's go. I'll go back after playing for a while."

"I can't wait to paint on my new canvas."

I also have a lot of footage of the aquarium on my phone today.

Ruan Li was like she'd been injected with adrenaline; she always walked at the very front when they played later.

It's almost lunchtime.

Li Luo offered to treat them to dinner, but Ruan Li declined and left early.

Jiang Yuci has already finished get off work and is on her way here.

"Why are you going back so early?" Cheng Yu asked.

Ruan Li hugged her drawing board and said, "Well, I'm going home to feed my baby."

Cheng Yu: "......"

Ruan Li smiled and left the mall.

After exiting the main gate, I walked to the right for quite a while before finally spotting Jiang Yuci.

He was walking towards me, and the weather was getting warmer. He was only wearing a plain white shirt.

His features were deep-set, his eyebrows and eyes as dark as ink, like a finely carved painting.

"What did you buy?" Jiang Yuci looked at the bag in Ruan Li's hand and found it very familiar.

I already had a bad feeling.

Ruan Li smiled at him and said, "My new drawing board! I can use it as soon as I get back. I'm so happy today."

Jiang Yuci curled her fingertips slightly. "Let me see."

Ruan Li was surprised that he was quite interested in her drawing board.

His expression looked a bit serious.

"How about it?"

"Hmm...it's fine." Jiang Yuci calmly returned it.

So what happened to the drawing board in his car? It turned out to be the same model.

Dr. Li's sister was absolutely right; it's definitely something that someone Ruan Li's age would like.

If they are different models, he can say that the functions may be different, and she can switch between them.

But the exact same thing was sent out...

Jiang Yuci walked forward and helped Ruan Li open the passenger seat.

Ruan Li said thank you and went inside with her drawing board.

Jiang Yuci glanced at the box in the back seat but still didn't take it out.

"Going to eat?" Jiang Yuci asked.

Ruan Li looked at him and said, "Take me back. I can finish talking on the way."

Jiang Yuci tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "No rush, let's talk after we finish eating."

"No need," Ruan Li thought. If she refused him, neither of them would be able to eat.

"it is good."

Things started to spiral out of Jiang Yuci's control.

He still remembers what Huo Xingzhou said to him.

The first step is to give a gift; the second step is to have a meal together; and the third step is to have a frank conversation.

Step 4: Send the flowers!

But now, the first step has not been completed smoothly.

The second step was also rejected.

Jiang Yuci took a deep breath and said, "Let's go straight to the third and fourth steps."

"Okay." He said.

Jiang Yuci didn't drive; the two of them sat in the car.

"I've thought about it for a long time, and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," Ruan Li said, her head bowed. She had rehearsed the lines in her mind hundreds of times.

"It's alright," Jiang Yuci replied earnestly.

He can wait as long as it takes.

As Ruan Li thought about what was to come, her fingertip couldn't help but slide down the edge of her nail again.

"I'm sorry, I can't agree." Ruan Li lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.

Jiang Yuci was clearly even more stunned than Ruan Li.

He was still holding his phone in his hand when the screen lit up.

His mind was in complete turmoil, and he really wanted to call Huo Xingzhou and yell at him.

Everything went beyond what the two of them had anticipated.

"Why?" He glanced at him sideways.
