Chapter 37, Make Her Disappear Completely
After finally coaxing Si Xu to change his wet coat, Jiang Ran put her hands on his shoulders and made him sit on the bed.
The girl looked serious and condescendingly at him. Si Xu looked back in confusion, not understanding the meaning of her eyes.
but……
I always feel that it's chilly around me.
"Si Xu."
“…” He blinked to show that he was listening.
"What is your relationship with Wei Yage?" As the second female lead with a lot of screen time in the original novel, Jiang Ran first needs to find out how much weight that woman holds in Si Xu's heart.
But don't let her find an opportunity to teach someone a lesson, otherwise Si Xu will teach her a lesson again, which would be counterproductive.
"Wei Ya Ge?" Si Xu, who had no special impression of women, asked in confusion, "Why would she have anything to do with me?"
Well, since Si Xu asked, it doesn’t matter. In his opinion, she is not an important role.
Jiang Ran automatically understood what Si Xu said, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously: "That's all right, that's all... I was just asking."
"Jiang Ran." The little girl's mood today was too erratic, unlike usual. Si Xu hesitated, "Are you... having your period?"
Period? Why did he suddenly ask such a question? Jiang Ran shook his head honestly: "No."
Si Xu: "Oh."
Gu Yunqing said that girls would be irritable during their menstrual period, and as a boyfriend, he must give them more care and indulgence - yes, on the way back from the city, Gu Yunqing kept nagging him about how to take care of his girlfriend.
Si Xu remembered something and took Jiang Ran's hand, pulling him to sit on his lap. "I have no experience in this area before. After Gu Yunqing reminded me today, I went to the supermarket and collected a lot of unexpired sanitary napkins."
Jiang Ran, whose cheeks had turned slightly red due to the young man's sudden intimacy, heard the mumbling in her ear: "......???"
Experience in this area? Experience in taking care of women during their periods? Wait, he ran to the supermarket to collect sanitary napkins in front of Gu Yunqing?
"I don't know what brand you like, so I brought a bunch of different brands—that should be enough for you." Si Xu continued the topic. "I'll show them to you later. Tell me which brand you like, and I'll get more next time I collect them."
If this kind of topic is discussed openly, the parties involved will be more or less embarrassed. However, when Jiang Ran heard his serious tone, the embarrassment faded away unconsciously, and in the end, she didn't know whether she was left with helplessness or touched.
"Oh, Gu Yunqing also said that girls shouldn't touch cold water or get cold during their period. When are your periods? I'll prepare a hand warmer for you..."
"Si Xu." Interrupting the young man's inquiry, Jiang Ran hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you... I like you."
Remembering that he didn't like to hear her say thank you, Jiang Ran changed her words temporarily.
The soft lips touched the cheek lightly and left, and the fragrance lingered in the breath for a long time. Si Xu's delicate eyes widened slightly. After thinking for a while, he asked: "In addition to the hot handbag, do you want brown sugar water?" Gu Yunqing seemed to say that brown sugar water was also important.
Jiang Ran laughed: "Okay."
Si Xu squinted at her, his clear light brown eyes shimmering with anticipation.
Jiang Ran: "..." What does he mean? Why is he looking at her like that... She was very panicked.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Si Xu was dissatisfied and raised his head slightly: "Jiang Ran?"
Is he... asking for a kiss? Thinking about what he just said and her response, Jiang Ran suddenly realized: he asked for a hand warmer, she gave him a thank you kiss, and he then asked for brown sugar water...
While she was hesitating, Si Xu stared at her persistently, like a puppy asking for a bone.
To confirm her guess, Jiang Ran hummed and kissed him on the cheek.
Si Xu was satisfied and continued to ask: "Where are the red dates?"
Jiang Ran was sure that he was just asking for a kiss.
After realizing this, Jiang Ran's mouth twitched. She suppressed her smile and nodded in response. Then, before Si Xu could speak, she held his cheek and kissed his slightly open lips.
…
After seeing off the great ancestor, Gu Yunqing looked at the three earth-colored people in the corridor, with a sarcastic arc on his lips.
He had known for a long time that Luo Rui was not an easy person to deal with, but now it seemed that the woman was not as smart as he thought.
Not only is he not as smart as he thinks, he is also extremely smart and self-righteous.
Holding Su Qin's hand as he went upstairs, Gu Yunqing paused for a moment when passing by the three people.
In the hope of keeping them out of trouble during the rest of their trip, Gu Yunqing said, "Luo Rui, Jiang Ran has been following Si Xu for so many days now, there shouldn't be any conflicts or contradictions between you two—why keep chasing her?"
The biggest conflict between Luo Rui and Jiang Ran is Xie Chengzhi.
But now Jiang Ran shows no interest in Xie Chengzhi at all. Should Luo Rui shift her attention from Jiang Ran to somewhere else?
"The idea of not turning back until you hit the wall can only fool a fool with a single-minded mind... Luo Rui, I thought you were a smart person."
After Gu Yunqing finished speaking, he took Su Qin back to the room.
…
In the hallway, Luo Rui took a deep breath and focused on her friend first.
"Zhou Zhou, are you okay?"
Luo Rui pinched his hand, and Zhou Jian broke free from the fear of the spiritual pressure. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered: "No, it's okay..."
Luo Rui took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to her, saying softly, "Zhou Zhou, don't take today's events to heart. Go back and have a good rest."
"……Um."
"Also, don't bother Ranran in the future." Luo Rui sighed. "Ranran's temper has changed a lot since she followed Professor Si. Maybe... maybe she won't be as easy to communicate with as before. Professor Si doesn't seem easy to deal with either. We need help now, so don't make him unhappy."
"I understand." Having been intimidated by Si Xu's spiritual pressure, how could she dare to go and cause trouble for Jiang Ran? At least recently, she wasn't in the mood for that.
After sending Zhou Jian back to her room, Luo Rui leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh.
"Ruirui." Xie Chengzhi was waiting there. Seeing the girl's tired expression, he felt infinite pity and tenderness in his heart.
Walking over and holding his lover's shoulders, Xie Chengzhi whispered: "It's my fault that I'm useless and I made you suffer."
It was Jiang Ranran who pushed Zhou Jian, but because that man was too powerful, not only were they unable to support their companions, they were also forced to bow to the people who bullied them.
"I'm useless... I'm sorry."
As a boyfriend, a guardian, and a companion, Xie Chengzhi felt ashamed at this moment.
"Chengzhi, don't say that." Noticing her boyfriend's dejection, Luo Rui hugged him, patted him gently on the back, and said gently, "Zhou Zhou was impulsive today. We all were impulsive. We all make mistakes—we learn from our mistakes and just don't make them again."
In this situation, Ruirui is still reflecting on herself - his Ruirui is really kind and self-disciplined.
"Ruirui, this is my problem." Holding Luo Rui tightly, Xie Cheng rested his chin on her shoulder and said firmly, "I will practice hard and become stronger. I will be so strong that no one will dare to bully you."
"..." Unexpectedly, today's incident would arouse Xie Chengzhi's long-dormant competitive spirit. Luo Rui nodded vigorously and encouraged her boyfriend, "I know you can do it, Chengzhi, you are my support!"
…
After Xie Chengzhi fell asleep, Luo Rui sat alone in front of the window, staring at the falling snow outside in a daze.
Gu Yunqing was right. Now there was no irreconcilable conflict between her and Jiang Ranran. There was no need for her to compete with Jiang Ranran everywhere, nor was there any need for her to go out of her way to make Jiang Ranran unhappy.
Jiang Ranran followed Si Xu at a time when she was favored by Si Xu.
Si Xu dotes on Jiang Ranran, and angering Jiang Ranran is a provocation to Si Xu. With their team's current strength, facing Si Xu is a dead end.
Considering all the circumstances, any rational person would know that they shouldn't continue to be mean to Jiang Ranran, but...
But she just wouldn't give in.
Before the apocalypse, Jiang Ranran was the most beautiful girl in the school, a daughter of a wealthy family. She had a neatly dressed driver and bodyguard to escort her to and from school, and she was pursued by a handsome man like Xie Chengzhi...
She knew that she could not compare to her, so even though she was devotedly in love with Xie Chengzhi, she just watched from afar, maintaining her last bit of pride, and even dared not let Xie Chengzhi know that there was an admirer like her.
She thought she would live like this for the rest of her life, but who knew the end of the world would come suddenly.
In the end times, the status, wealth, and power of the past have become useless, and only strength is king.
She was finally free from the constraints of family and money, and could express her love openly with her head held high.
And what of the little princess? She hadn't awakened her powers, reduced to an insignificant grain of sand in a chaotic world—scorned, mocked, and used as a plaything by the powerful.
She got everything she had before.
Whether it was Xie Chengzhi's love, the admiration of the people around him, or the status that ordinary people could not reach - she knew that he had stepped on her.
Whenever she saw the once favored daughter of heaven shivering in the corner, besides occasional sympathy, she felt more of a sense of pride.
If Jiang Ranran had always been so well-behaved, she wouldn't mind giving her some love and taking her away with her.
But she just couldn't help but have feelings for Xie Chengzhi, and took advantage of her not paying attention to flirt with Xie Chengzhi several times.
She had good intentions to bring her along, but she seduced her boyfriend! Even though Xie Chengzhi had explained that their conversation was just an ordinary exchange between teammates, a woman's sixth sense told her that things were definitely not that simple.
Jiang Ranran still hopes to win Xie Chengzhi back.
An ordinary person who can only survive by relying on her charity, it would be fine if he didn't feel grateful to her, but he provoked her again and again - how could she tolerate it?
Luo Rui's eyelids twitched violently twice, and she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Now Jiang Ranran seems to be devoted to Si Xu, but that may just be a superficial phenomenon.
No one knows how long Si Xu, with his unrestrained personality, can continue to pamper Jiang Ranran.
When Si Xu gets tired of Jiang Ranran, she will become abandoned again. At that time, she will definitely turn back to Xie Chengzhi, and she can only turn to Xie Chengzhi - with Xie Chengzhi's character, he certainly won't have the heart to refuse his ex-girlfriend's request for help.
Therefore, before that, she must break all of Xie Chengzhi's good impressions of Jiang Ranran, crush the last bit of goodwill and warmth left in his heart, and make him completely tired of Jiang Ranran.
If this is not possible, she will only feel at ease if Jiang Ranran disappears from this world.
