Engage

After confirming the relationship between lovers, the lives of the two are slightly different.

Jiang Ran is still in charge of three meals a day, and she is already familiar with Qi Lian's taste, every time the food served is very appetizing to Qi Lian, at the same time, she increases the types and frequency of snacks, "feeding" almost without interruption "Look at Qi Lian.In her heart, she wanted Qi Lian to grow some flesh.

She wants Qi Lian to get better.

Thinking about it very much, thinking about it very much, ever since she learned that mental violence meant death for a double S rank, she pretended not to believe it, but there was still fear in her heart, she said in front of Qi Lian every day Joking and laughing, she seemed to have forgotten what she heard that night, but in fact, she was terrified.

She just tasted the sweet taste of love, but immediately tasted the bitterness of love.

"Another extra meal?"

Jiang Ran walked into the study with a plum cake in his hand, Qi Lian was lifted up by the plum fragrance coming towards him, and he looked up and talked to her with a smile.

"It's just a snack, and it won't take up much space in your stomach. Hey, try it."

Jiang Ran's feeding was so intensive that Qi Lian couldn't take it anymore. Before she could say no, a piece of hot pastry came up to her mouth. She had to put down what she was doing, opened her mouth and bit it down, biting off a small piece. Pastry comes, chew delicately.

Jiang Ran's skill in making dim sum is also superb.

Just now I smelled the quiet plum fragrance, now the pastry has a much stronger plum fragrance, but it still does not lose the elegance of plum.Because it is just out of the oven, the pastry is very soft, but it does not look powdery, but has a delicate and soft texture like glutinous rice balls. The pastry is wrapped with smashed date paste, which has been steamed and slightly oily, Qi Lian eats it After two bites, the plum fragrance in the mouth is mixed with the strong fragrance of red dates, and the two are intertwined with each other, which not only adds color to the faint plum fragrance, but also makes the date paste no longer greasy.

Qi Lian ate a piece of plum blossom cake in Jiang Ran's hand in a few strokes, and praised without hesitation: "Plum blossom cake is often found in the palace, and it's not an unprecedented idea to stuff date paste into the cake, but this kind of cake looks ordinary. Qi Qi pastry, made by your hand, how can it be so delicious?"

Jiang Ran smiled and rolled his eyes: "Eat more if it tastes good, come, have another bite."

She gave Qi Lian another piece of pastry and sent it over.

In fact, he is not very used to being taken care of by her so meticulously. Qi Lian lowered his head and bit it, finished it slowly, and said with a gentle smile: "After eating this piece, I can't eat it anymore. If I eat it again, I really want to be fed like a dog by you." Little pig."

Jiang Ran muttered: "It's better to feed him like a pig."

It's better than being so vulnerable, it looks reassuring.

Qi Lian heard her muttering, and Qi Lian felt very helpless: "I've become a pig, do you still want me to be your girlfriend?"

Jiang Ran smiled badly: "Of course I want it. I want to hold my little pig in my arms with tears in my eyes." She saw the timing and stuffed another piece of cake.

Now Qi Lian's mouth was stuffed to the brim, blocked by such a delicious pastry, even if she wanted to refute, she couldn't speak.

Seeing how pitiful she was, Jiang Ran burst out laughing: "Just be content. Whose girlfriend cooks and makes snacks, and brings them to you every time, and you don't want you to clean them up? Your task Just eat, can't you complete the only task?"

After Qi Lian finished chewing the pastry, he fumbled for water. Jiang Ran grabbed the water glass and brought it to her mouth. Qi Lian hugged the water glass and drank a couple of sips, then put the water glass on the table, the helplessness in his expression became more intense : "You don't have to, uh, treat me so meticulously."

Obviously before, Jiang Ran didn't show such meticulousness.

Seeing her seriousness, Jiang Ran glanced at her carefully: "Don't you like it?"

Qi Lian shook his head: "It's not that I don't like it. It's just that"

"Just what?"

"Let me tell you a story."

Want to tell her a story?Jiang Ranen let out a sound and pretended to listen carefully.

Qi Lian's eyes flickered, as if he was organizing his words: "Once upon a time, there was a female bear who lost three children, and finally waited until the fourth child was born."

"Why did she lose her first three children?"

If you want to classify people who listen to stories, Jiang Ran is undoubtedly the thorny head among them. She never listens to a story obediently, because she always has a lot of questions.

Qi Lian was not stopped by her question: "Because other male bears also want to keep their cubs. So cubs are always dangerous, and they are easily killed by other adult male bears. At first, many female bears did not From experience, the survival rate of the first few litters is always very low."

"Sounds like a world of beasts."

"That's right. It's always full of savagery, but the mother bear's motherhood is connected with civilization, and she always wants to protect the cub. For her fourth child, she also tried her best."

"And then what?"

"Later the cub was injured. It was found by an adult male bear one day when it was fishing with the female bear. It was slapped on its paw and broke a leg. The female bear fought with the male bear before it ran away."

"It can't survive, right?" In fact, apart from the questions that are asked, Jiang Ran is really a good storyteller, because she is focused and curious enough, even if it is such a naive story, she can devote all her body and mind .

Well, this is because she vaguely understands what Qi Lian wants to tell her.

"You are wrong, it just survived. It was already autumn, and the mother bear and cubs had successfully accumulated a lot of fat, although there was still a little bit of fat, but the mother bear relied on carrying fish in its mouth every day between forests and streams. Going back and forth successfully gave it hope to survive the winter. Its wounds have also healed, and although its legs are limping, it is indeed not life-threatening.”

Jiang Ran was gradually engrossed in listening.

"Dad, learning to cook is so tiring. I don't want to learn anymore. Can I not go to the store?"

"You have already become a teacher, there is no reason to go back on your word, Ran Ran, listen to your father, you have to learn. Does your hand hurt? Dad will rub it for you."

Of course, she was not always so determined. The kitchen was heavy. Sometimes she cried because she was tired, and sometimes she scolded and cried to Master. Persuade her, relax her hands and feet, and teach her not to give up.

"Qi Lian"

"Ok?"

"Can you stop telling this story?"

"what happened?"

"I miss my dad."

"Then go watch it. The video is fine now, and I can prepare an airship for you. Don't worry, you're not like me. I can't leave Capital Star, but you can."

Qi Lian said softly.

That's different, that's totally different.The man she should call her father is different from the sunshine and rain she once relied on like a sapling.

Jiang Ran forced a smile: "It's okay."

Did she suddenly disappear in the 21st century?Or is it dead?Dad will be sad, right?Fortunately, Master had left a lot of property when she left, which was enough for Dad to take care of him.

"Then, shall I continue to tell you the story?" Qi Lian hasn't finished the story yet, and she hasn't told Jiang Ran what she wanted to tell, so she really doesn't want to give up.

Jiang Ran nodded: "Tell me. What happened to the little bear?"

"They survived that winter, and when the next spring came, the cub's legs were still lame, and he was a disabled bear. The mother bear never let him go out, and brought food back every day. After another two years, the mother bear finally Tired to death in the autumn of the third year."

Qi Lian hadn't finished speaking yet, but Jiang Ran had already guessed the end of the story, so she didn't speak, but just listened to Qi Lian's continuation.

"Shortly after it died, the cub died too. At that time, the cub not only couldn't hunt, but even forgot how to get out of the cave."

"You are not a little bear, you are so powerful, you shouldn't think too much."

"Yeah, I'm great. But Ran Ran, do you really think I'm great?" Qi Lian still smiled softly, that's how she is. Although she told a tragic story that alludes to herself, she also Still very calm.

Jiang Ran nodded without hesitation: "Of course."

"Then why are you even worried that I can't even get a water glass? You feed pastry to my mouth, water to my mouth, I don't know when, you want to help me do everything over."

Jiang Ran was speechless by what she said.

"Look, subconsciously you don't believe I can do those things well."

"It's not like that, I just want to be nice to you."

"I believe it. I know you have no other ideas, but I always have to be vigilant." Of course, Qi Lian knows what a good girl Jiang Ran is. They are in love, and Jiang Ran wants to give her all the good things .

She understood, but she couldn't let things continue like this.

"I have to be vigilant. When I was blind at the beginning, I was so sad that I couldn't walk a step. I lay on the bed for half a year until I got bedsores on my back, like an old man who was dying. Later I tried When I take the first step, I find that there are countless steps after one step. I want to maintain my mobility, so I usually refuse other people's support, which is not enough. Within a small area of ​​the estate."

She said this, as if remembering something interesting, even with a smile on her face.

In fact, in her current view, those things have indeed become valuable experiences, and she feels that she should cherish the efforts she made in those years.

Jiang Ran was stunned for a long time when he heard Qi Lian's words.

That's right, what a proud person Qi Lian is. When she first lived in this apartment, Qi Lian still needed someone to support her or need a cane, but it didn't take long before she was able to walk around like a normal person up.

Jiang Ran actually remembered one thing.

It must have been April or May. One day she was tired from reading, so she fell asleep on the wicker chair in the living room. After sleeping for a long time, she was suddenly awakened by a burst of thoughts.

"Seven steps, eight steps, nine steps"

"The bedroom on the right."

"Turn left, one step, two steps, three steps to the study room."

She heard Qi Lian counting, counting repeatedly, she turned around and saw Qi Lian walking up and down the room with a serious face.She walked really slowly, if Jiang Ran or anyone with eyes could walk those distances, it would take less than a few seconds, but Qi Lian walked very slowly, she kept groping , counting the distances between those rooms, as if remembering their relative positions.

Looking at that scene, Jiang Ran wanted to cry at the time, but she also understood in an instant where the bruises on Qi Lian's face sometimes came from.

It was probably what Qi Lian accidentally bumped into the wall when he threw away his crutches and tried to walk around.

Qi Lian didn't know she was at home that day, did he?Originally, she had class that day, but she overslept.

Qi Lian was very focused at that time, so focused that he didn't realize that there was someone lying on the other side of the living room listening to her chanting for a long time.And Jiang Ran has realized that maybe every time she goes out, Qi Lian will practice like this at home. She knows that Qi Lian may not want this scene to be seen by her, so she keeps silent, even when Qi Lian returns to the bedroom. , just went to open and close the living room door, pretending to have just come home.

In the past two days, he has been worrying about Qi Lian's illness, Jiang Ran almost forgot what a proud and stubborn person Qi Lian was.

"Actually, if I wanted to, I would lie in bed with nothing and someone would take care of everything for me. I could lie in bed and hang around until I die, burning, I'm talking about a girlfriend, not a thing They all help me to be my babysitter."

Jiang Ran was extremely ashamed all of a sudden: "Did I do something stupid?"

"No, because you are Jiang Ran, and you always want to be nice to me, such a nice Jiang Ran." Qi Lian was afraid that she would be sad, so he told a story to hint at her. There was a tendency to feel annoyed, so she immediately comforted Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran shook her head: "But I did something bad with good intentions." There seemed to be a dark cloud over her head, and her whole body was shrouded in that gloomy shadow.

"It's okay, as long as you relax a little and hold my hand in the future." Qi Lian chuckled: "But you can't relax too much, or you won't have a girlfriend to take care of me and love me. I, a blind man, will really It's pitiful."

Still poor!Jiang Ran's tears were suppressed all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but hit her.

"It feels good to be liked and treated carefully." Qi Lian grabbed her hand and held her fist in the palm of his hand. Of course it couldn't wrap her around, but Jiang Ran felt as if she had been completely captured by her. Wrapped in general.

"Ran Ran, I want to be a normal person, and of course I want to be a normal girlfriend. You have to give me a chance."

"what chance?"

"For example, let me treat you like you treat me. I will also make you feel my liking and treat you carefully."

Jiang Ran looked at her, the tears that had just been suppressed seemed to come up again, she took a deep breath, trying to suppress that feeling: "Do you want to be a normal girlfriend?"

"Yes I do."

Jiang Ran pressed his forehead against hers: "Then, we are so close together, do you know what should be the most important thing to do now?"

Qi Lian chuckled, "Of course I know."
