On the way back, Jane kept thinking about the official announcement. He planned to invite Ke Yan, Fang Huifeng and the others to dinner first, and let his close friends know about him and Ren Qinglin first, and the others would just let it go. He didn't need to take the initiative to say it.
When Ji Yuanxi was in love, he was still in an ambiguous period, and he kept screaming in the bedroom. The three of them were always forced to watch the emotional progress bar of the two of them; after the successful confession, Ji Yuanxi said in the group for the first time. Well, not long after, Jian Ran saw the announcement of his and Xu Keke's release at the same time in the circle of friends.
Should he and Ren Qinglin also post it? What "please advise for the rest of my life", "my second glass is half-price" and so on...
Gee, my teeth are sore.
Jane opened the circle of friends, looking for inspiration, and looked at the reply to the comment just now.
Shen Zixiao: [smiles]
Ji Yuanxi: [Skull] [Skull] [Skull]
Mother-in-law: Wearing so much, we still wear short sleeves here in Guangzhou.
Ke Yan: Wow, is this in the Forbidden City
Lu Shixuan: It is pleasing to the eye.
Xu Keke: The picture has been saved, see you in the forum.
…
Jian Ran was replying to her mother's comment when a new message popped up.
Jian Xu: Jian Ran, who is the boy next to you? very handsome.
Jane was stunned.
Jian Xu is his uncle's daughter. He has a very ordinary relationship with this cousin. We haven't seen each other once in a few years. If we add it to WeChat, it's basically a list. The last message was sent by my cousin half a year ago. She said she was sorry for Jian Ran. , but she really can't accept the commercial marriage, to pursue true love.
Jian Ran didn't want to talk to her at the time, and didn't even reply to an emoji. The two have no contact since then. I didn't expect that she would send a message suddenly, or ask Ren Qinglin about it.
Seeing that his expression was not right, Ren Qinglin asked, "What's wrong?"
Jane put the phone back in her pocket, "Nothing."
Back at home, Ren's mother and the live-in aunt are making dumplings. Ren's mother asked Jian Ran, "Xiao Ran, what kind of dumplings do you like to eat?"
Jian Ran smiled and said, "I can do anything except the stuffed celery."
Ren Qinglin walked to the kitchen, "Mom, I'll help you."
Ren's mother's flour, "No, you can accompany Xiaoran to play games."
"I want to pack a few," Ren Qinglin said. "My brother asked me to pack it for him."
Ren's mother was a little surprised, "Is that so, then you'll have a face-to-face first."
"Well." Ren Qinglin watched Jian Ran silently return to the room and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jian Ran was paralyzed on the single sofa, staring at her cousin's WeChat interface. He didn't reply to the WeChat, and the cousin didn't send it again. There is no status in Jian Xu's circle of friends. Jian Ran clearly remembers that she is a person who likes to show affection very much. In the past three days, she posted about her and her Phoenix boyfriend. Jian Ran really couldn't bear to treat her. Blocked. Now that the hundreds of statuses are gone, did the two quarrel or break up
Jian Ran was thinking wildly, picked up the PS handle and clicked on a game, and played absentmindedly.
Ren Qinglin walked into the room, bent over and hugged Jian Ran from behind, "What are you playing?"
"Well... "Death Stranding"."
"Horror game?"
"A game of express delivery." Jian Ran said, "This game is quite famous, don't you know?"
Ren Qinglin let go of Jian Ran and sat down on the bed opposite him, "I've been a little busy recently, so I haven't paid much attention to the game industry."
Jane felt something was wrong. He looked around and saw that Ren Qinglin's room game was well equipped, and there were a lot of games on various platforms. For example, this "Death Stranding" was just released, and he didn't have time to buy it. Ren Qinglin's PS4 already has it.
Jian Ran stood up and walked to the bookshelf. There were still many games on it. Last time, he found that there were many unopened games. This time, there seemed to be a lot of new unopened games.
"Brother," Ren Qinglin asked with a smile, "what are you looking at?"
Jian Ran said slowly, "Ren Qinglin."
"Um?"
"Do you really like playing games?"
Ren Qinglin was silent for a while, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Because I don't think you're interested in games," Jian Ran shrugged. "Looking back on it now, you never seem to be playing games by yourself, apart from playing games with me?"
Ren Qinglin nodded, "I really don't have much interest in games. These games were bought for my brother."
Jane frowned, "but the first time I came to your house..."
Jian Ran suddenly widened her eyes.
After he found out that he was with Ren Qinglin, he had been immersed in enthusiasm, thus ignoring an important question - when did Ren Qinglin fall in love with him
Jian Ran's brain was whirling. He recalled how the two of them had been together for a few months. He always felt that there were traces to follow from a very early time, but he was too slow to notice anything at that time.
Ren Qinglin took a look at Jian Ran's changing expressions one by one.
He has been worried that Jane will be frightened when she knows how much he wants him, but after what happened last night, he feels that he has nothing to be afraid of.
He has the ability to chase people, and he must also have the ability to keep people by his side.
"Do you want to go to my storage room?" Ren Qinglin asked.
When the topic was suddenly changed, Jian Ran was a little stunned, "Ah?"
"Go and have a look." Ren Qinglin took his hand, "It's very interesting."
Ren Qinglin opened the door of the storage room. The light inside was very dark. For a moment, Jian Ran thought he was going to see the wall covered with his own photos.
Facts have proved that he has watched too many movies, and Ren Qinglin is not as "perverted" as he thought.
The storage room is not too small, like a small study room. There are several rows of bookcases in it. Jian Ran glanced at it, and it was basically some professional books and serious literature. Next to the bookcase was a desk, on which was a surface.
Jane couldn't see anything special about this storage room, "what's so interesting about this?"
Ren Qinglin's fingertips slid across the rows of heavy books, "These books were kept in my room before I met you. After I met you, they would only be ashes in the corner."
Jane's mood is complicated, "You mean, I changed you from an excellent teenager who loves learning to an otaku who plays games every day?"
Ren Qinglin smiled, "No. It's just that after deciding to pursue you, there are too many things to do, and I don't have time to look at anything else."
Jane asked, "what did you do?"
Ren Qinglin: "Open the computer and have a look."
Jane did as she did, "what's the password?"
"JR19990401."
Jian Ran coughed twice and entered the password.
After a brief black screen, a boy's sleeping face appeared on the screen.
Jane:…
It was he who neglected. That's right, it's almost 2020, who would stupidly print photos and stick them on the wall, wouldn't it be fragrant to store them on the computer? !
"Wait, my hairdo... This is my freshman year?"
Ren Qinglin: "Well."
After a few seconds, the photo on the screen was replaced by another one - Jane in camouflage with her eyes drooping in the sun, holding a guitar in her hand.
This is a picture of Jian Ran being forced to perform a show by an instructor during her first year of military training.
Photos continue to switch. Jian Ran stood on the podium in the classroom, frowning at a C voice programming question.
"Where did you get these photos from?"
Ren Qinglin opened a word document, "School forum is a good thing."
[Report - There is a super handsome junior among the freshmen, who has been confirmed to be from the School of Network Engineering!]
[School name and class confirmation, basic information confirmation! It turned out to be an Aries born on April Fool's Day!]
[Multi-picture warning, Jian Xuedi is playing guitar and singing on the playground today~]
[Jian Nanshen has joined the e-sports club! Attached is the application form he filled out. The male god's favorite game turned out to be...]
[According to reliable sources, the school grass is single so far, and the senior sisters are boiling!]
…
Looking at the familiar titles, Jian Ran was stunned: what's the situation, what's the matter, what's going on.
"And these." Ren Qinglin opened another folder, "It was saved after my brother added me to WeChat."
The file is full of screenshots of Jian Ran's circle of friends. When Jian Ran was still in the second phase of middle school, the circle of friends posted more frequently than now, especially in the freshman year, when a few sand sculptures gathered in a dormitory, funny things often happened, and he would occasionally share it in the circle of friends . In addition, there are some screenshots of the game interface and his comments.
Ren Qinglin marked some photos. For example, the hero avatar when he shared his game record; the complete works of "Harry Potter" on the bookcase in his room, the words were so small that he couldn't read them clearly; all the statuses he posted while watching NBA games were classified by Ren Qinglin. , and counted the number of appearances of each star; as well as the shoes he posted, the status of buying an out-of-print game was marked with a key label.
Jian Ran finally understood why every gift that Ren Qinglin gave him that day of confession could be delivered to his heart.
"After collecting this information, I started to get busy." Ren Qinglin opened Taobao and found a purchase record, "This is an order I placed in a power leveling studio."
Jian Ran was startled when she saw the number above, "Three hundred hours?"
"In the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, I practiced for 10 hours a day for a month." Ren Qinglin said, "The booster who taught me was retired from the former professional team, specializing in long/gun positions."
Jane asked: "You only practice long/gun positions?"
"Um."
"why?"
"Because he's handsome, he shot a head in the head." Ren Qinglin laughed a little badly, "Isn't my brother also fascinated by me at the time?"
Jian Ran: "... Indeed."
"In addition to practicing "Watch", I also downloaded all the mobile games you can play, and played them to a similar level to yours. I also read the movies and books you mentioned; I saved them I took your photos and learned about all your hobbies; I even studied your constellation." Ren Qinglin chuckled, "Isn't it ridiculous? To believe in things like constellations."
Jane was stunned, unable to say a word.
"I like you even more than you thought." Ren Qinglin looked into his eyes and said, "I like you for a long time."
Jian Ran opened her mouth, her voice a little hoarse, "If you say that, maybe you do like you and me more than I do. But I will do those things too."
"Um?"
"I'll also get to know your interests, accompany you to do what you want, eat what you want, go wherever you want - I'm more than happy to do anything that makes you happy. Although I don't have I've been in love, but I think when you're loved with your heart, you don't need to be so sensible at all, let alone work so hard."
Ren Qinglin suddenly found out that Jane's straight-minded love words are more romantic than all the gorgeous sweet words in the world.
"Can you tell me, when did it start?" Jian Ran said, "When did you fall in love with me?"
Ren Qinglin said slowly: "After I learned that I was going to marry your cousin, I originally planned to go abroad to escape marriage. But one day, my mother told me that the marriage partner had changed to a boy. Although I knew very well about myself sexual orientation, but I'm still reluctant to marry a guy I've never met."
"Then how did you change your mind?"
Ren said half-truths in person: "My mother showed me your photo, I'm useless, and I fell in love with you at first sight."
Jian Ran doesn't quite believe this statement, "Are you lying?"
"It's boring to tell the story all at once." Ren Qinglin rubbed Jian Ran's hair, "Let's go and eat dumplings first."
Jian Ran refused, "No, you have to finish it now! Hurry up, hurry up, it's terrifying!"
Ren Qinglin smiled, "Brother is really a temperament that can't hold back anything, it seems that the constellation is still a bit accurate."
