Finally, taking advantage of a pause in Shi Yan's speech, Qin Jianye finally found the opportunity to speak.
He pointed at the bayberries in Lin Ran's hand and said, "Don't just talk, eat some bayberries to moisten your throat."
In the twilight, Lin Ran's expression froze for a moment.
Qin Jianye didn't notice that Shi Yan changed the subject.
He stretched out his hand towards Lin Ran, "Let me take it, your hands are all stained."
Lin Ran subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she heard the latter sentence, she noticed that some of the bayberries were so ripe that they had begun to drip purple juice.
It was about to drip onto my clothes.
Lin Ran was no longer pretentious. She gave all the bayberries in her hand to Shi Yan and wiped her hands carefully with a handkerchief.
Qin Jianye's eyes flashed with regret when he saw this. He should have held it for Ranran just now.
After Shi Yan took the bayberry, he didn't hesitate and just picked one up and threw it into his mouth.
"Let me try it to see if it's sweet."
"Mmm, it's sour and sweet, and tastes good."
As he spoke, he started eating one by one, and soon all the bayberries in his hand were finished.
When he realized what was happening, he pretended to apologize:
"I'm so sorry, I was just greedy and accidentally ate it all."
"How about this, I can't eat your bayberries for free, can I exchange them for candy?"
As he spoke, he took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from his trouser pocket and shared them with Lin Ran and Qin Jianye.
Qin Jianye refused with a somewhat unhappy look.
No one would feel comfortable if their feelings were ruined by others.
Lin Ran took it with a smile.
Still greedy?
Don’t think that she didn’t see that Shi Yan’s face turned bitter when he ate the bayberry.
She couldn't help but salivate at the sight.
This doesn't look like someone who likes eating bayberries.
If she said she liked sweets, she would believe it.
Because she found that Shi Yan seemed to always have candy with him.
However, Lin Ran was a little curious about how this person discovered that he couldn't eat sour food.
Yes, Lin Ran had already seen that Shi Yan was deliberately helping her out.
Shi Yan also knew from Lin Ran's insightful eyes that he had been seen through.
He actually noticed it when Qin Jianye first appeared next to Lin Ran.
He has also been paying attention to their every move.
Naturally, I noticed the subtle changes in Lin Ran's expression when she saw Yang Mei.
Therefore, it is speculated that Lin Ran may not be able to eat sour food.
And Lin Ran's stiff expression when Qin Jianye was showing his courtesy just now further confirmed his guess.
That's why he rarely does such rude things.
Of course, this was not only to help Lin Ran out of trouble, but also for his own selfish reasons.
He didn't want Lin Ran to accept Qin Jianye's kindness.
So I better help myself to eat.
Lin Ran just needs to eat her own White Rabbit milk candy!
Lin Ran certainly could not guess his little thoughts. At this moment, she just felt fortunate that Shi Yan had eaten all the bayberries, otherwise she would not know how to explain it.
The original owner really liked eating bayberry. It could be said that there was nothing the original owner didn’t like to eat.
Even the wild oranges from the mountains, the kind so sour that they make your teeth fall out, she could eat them without batting an eyelid.
But Lin Ran can’t do that!
She can't stand sour food!
Even if it is a fully ripe orange, she won't eat it if it is a little sour.
And she didn't want to put herself in a difficult position just to avoid being exposed.
But today's incident suddenly made Lin Ran realize that Qin Jianye was not truly treating her, but the original owner.
That's why he always remembered all the original owner's childhood hobbies.
Perhaps her previous consideration of trying her best to accept Qin Jianye was not realistic.
She simply couldn't accept with peace of mind that Qin Jianye was transferring his kindness to the original owner to herself.
Even though he didn't know it.
And it's not fair to him.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell him the truth.
"Comrade Lin?"
Lin Ran was lost in thought when she heard Shi Yan's shout.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Shi Yan pointed at the handkerchief in Lin Ran's hand and spread out his hands to signal.
"Can you lend me a handkerchief? I've got a lot of bayberry juice on my hands."
Lin Ran looked at her handkerchief stained with bayberry juice with some hesitation.
"I didn't bring any extra ones. This one is already dirty."
"It's okay, it's all bayberry juice anyway. If it were clean, I'd be embarrassed to lend it to you."
Now that things had come to this, and the bayberry juice in the other person's hand was also to help her, Lin Ran handed over the handkerchief.
But after wiping his hands, Shi Yan folded the handkerchief and put it in his trouser pocket.
It is called:
"I'll give it back to you after I wash it."
Lin Ran: “…”
I always feel weird.
Qin Jianye, who was standing by, also felt that something was a little weird between the two of them.
But he was not so angry as to order some bayberries, so he assured Lin Ran:
"I'll get you some bayberries tomorrow."
Lin Ran: “…”
No need to do that!
She laughed dryly twice and couldn't help asking:
"Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"
"Have you forgotten? Last time I came back to see you after get off work in the evening. Tomorrow I will rest normally and can stay at home for a day. I will go back to the county town early the day after tomorrow.
How about I take you to the county town tomorrow?"
Qin Jianye looked at Lin Ran eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Just when Lin Ran was about to refuse, Shi Yan spoke.
"Maybe not tomorrow, Comrade Lin. I just forgot to tell you that I plan to officially start raising silkworms tomorrow, so I may need to trouble you with many things by then.
