Chapter 839 Ranbao Extra (12)

The peanuts he had just eaten were inexplicably hard on his teeth, so he immediately stood up and said, "No need, Mom and Dad, I'm done eating. You can continue eating!"

Although he hasn't met the right girl yet, he has absolutely no interest in blind dates!

As the children left one by one, Kong Wange felt a little melancholy: "The children have all grown up and have their own secrets now."

Murong Ting smiled and said, "What? Only we adults are allowed to have secrets, but they aren't allowed to?"

“That’s not what I meant…” Kong Wange pursed her lips.

“Alright, I know you’re worried about them, but these three little brats have perfectly inherited our intelligence and emotional intelligence. What’s there to worry about?” Murong Ting said naturally.

Kong Wange pondered for a moment and said, "You're right."

Murong Ting, who was standing nearby, seemed to remember something and said, "But there is something that I'm a little worried about lately."

"What?"

Murong Ting put down his chopsticks and looked at Kong Wange: "Wen Sichen is back."

"Si Chen?" A hint of surprise flashed in Kong Wange's eyes: "When did this happen?"

“Yesterday.” Murong Ting’s expression turned somewhat somber. “Ranran picked him up. Lin Cheng was on a business trip yesterday and happened to be at the airport, so they bumped into each other by chance.”

"Ranran didn't tell us about this," Kong Wange said thoughtfully.

“That’s why I’m worried—she didn’t tell us.” Murong Ting frowned. “No matter what, the fact that someone close to him has ended up like this is inextricably linked to us. If he were to harm Ranran…”

"Alright, stop spreading rumors. If he really had other feelings for Ranran, he would have done something back when Ranran went abroad. But look, their relationship has only grown closer today."

Kong Wange sighed and said, "Si Chen chose to go abroad back then because he couldn't accept what his sister and mother did. He's straightforward and kind, and he's fundamentally different from those people. I know you're thinking of investigating him, but let's wait and see. Ranran may be carefree, but she's not stupid. She can definitely tell who's good to her and who's taking advantage of her. After all, it's a matter between the younger generation, so let's not get too involved and annoy the children."

His wife's words were quite convincing. After pondering for a moment, Murong Ting nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

...

Meanwhile, Kong Ran, in her room upstairs, was completely unaware of Wen Sichen's instructions; her parents had already found out everything without her knowledge.

At that moment, her mind was completely focused on that phone.

She tossed and turned in bed several times, still unsure of what to say to Zhong Lin first.

I typed the words in the dialog box at least ten times, but in the end, I couldn't send a single one.

She even looked it up on Baidu—

"What should a lady say as the first thing when she talks to a boy she likes?"

How to be a gentle and polite girl?

"How can I make the boy I like like me back?"

The typical communication pattern after adding a guy you like as a friend...

Unfortunately, after investigating, she couldn't reach a conclusion.

The advice she received online was either too cheesy or too pretentious.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and sent the simplest message: 【Hi senior, I'm Kong Ran (cute smiley face)】

After sending the message, she threw her phone aside and started rolling around on the bed again.

Just a few dozen seconds later, she suddenly heard her phone vibrate.

With a quick movement, she sat up abruptly, checked her phone, and saw a message from the other person: 【Hello, junior (gentle smiley face)】

"Ahhhhhh..." Kong Ran covered her mouth and exclaimed excitedly.

She quickly took a screenshot of the chat and sent it to Chu Simiao, adding the message: "[Miaomiao, did you see that? He smiled at me!!]"

A short while later, she received a string of ellipses from Chu Simiao.

However, have you ever considered that this is simply a polite reciprocation because you were too friendly?

Kong Ran immediately said, "I don't care, this is a good start! I'm just wondering what to talk about with him next."

Miaomiao's witty reply: [Let's talk about life, ideals, stars, the moon, anything goes. You can start talking about whatever you want. I'm not going to explain further. I just landed at my hotel today and I'm so sleepy.]

Kong Ran then remembered that although Chu Simiao was studying medicine, she had been playing the cello since elementary school and often went out to perform with the orchestra. In her mother's words, she was doing both, and she would stay on whichever one performed better.

Today she was going to perform a cello in Country Y with the orchestra. She had told her about it before, but she had forgotten about it because she was busy with Zhong Lin's affairs. She shouldn't have done that, she really shouldn't have done that!

Kong Ran immediately replied: 【Okay, Miao, you should rest now! Be careful when you're traveling alone, love you, muah!】

Chu Simiao didn't reply; he'd probably already fallen asleep.

Without his friend's advice, Kong Ran couldn't come up with any better ideas for the time being.

After thinking for a long time, she suddenly had a brilliant idea.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she sent a message to Zhong Lin: "Senior, I have a performance at the graduation party in the small auditorium on Wednesday night. Can you come?"

After sending the message, she clutched her pounding heart, feeling her breathing quicken.

In just a few minutes, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

What will he say?

Do you feel that casually inviting him to the undergraduate graduation party was frivolous?

Will he agree or refuse?

Wednesday isn't a rest day, so they'll probably refuse, right?

But the party is in the evening. If he really wanted to come, he should be able to make time for it.

Before long, she even started thinking about who she should ask for help with her makeup if Zhong Lin came that day, and whether she should have her dress altered.

Just then, my phone suddenly vibrated.

When Kong Ran realized that it was Zhong Lin who had replied, her heart skipped a beat, and she didn't even dare to open the screen for a moment.

After taking several deep breaths, she finally unlocked the door with her fingerprint.

She opened WeChat, but froze on the spot—it wasn't Zhong Lin who replied to her message, but Wen Sichen.

The reply was very concise, just two words plus a punctuation mark, but it struck Kong Ran like a thunderbolt.

Wen Sichen: [Senior?]

Kong Ran: "..."

It took her about ten seconds to realize that she had sent the message to the wrong person.

She originally intended to send it to Zhong Lin, but because the two of them were sitting too close together, her hand trembled and she sent it to Wen Sichen instead.

The crucial point is that she didn't notice for so long, and now she can't take it back even if she wants to!

At this moment, Kong Ran had only one thought: where could she bang her head against a wall? She wanted to die.
