Chapter 23



"Have you finished talking yet?" The thug was already extremely impatient, swinging a wooden baseball bat towards Yi Ran with murderous intent.

Song Yumeng couldn't see what was happening behind her, she could only hear the sound of the baseball bat swinging in the air, "whoosh", the force was quite strong, she was terrified, her ten fingers kept pinching underneath, her palms were sweating, but she was still praying in her heart: Don't let Yi Ran get hit! Yi Ran had fought

a lot before, she wasn't sure if she could beat a group of thugs, but she was more than enough to beat one.

Yi Ran dodged the swinging stick by leaning to the side, seized the opportunity, and punched the thug in the face. Yi Ran was quite strong, and he used ten times more strength in this punch, causing the gangster to fall to the ground.

Yi Ran did not stab him again, and when the gangster stood up trembling, he just clenched his fist and slowly approached her. The gangster thought Yi Ran was going to hit him again, but he didn't want to be hit a second time, so he turned around and ran away, not even taking the baseball bat on the ground. Yi

Ran did not chase him, and let him go. "Hey!" Song Yumeng was still avoiding, but she turned around when she heard the familiar voice, but she didn't expect Yi Ran to throw a small thing at her. "Please have a lollipop." Song Yumeng looked at the extra orange-flavored lollipop in her hand, and suddenly remembered what happened in the morning. Yi Ran distributed candy to everyone in the class, but she didn't get any, and the feeling of grievance surged up again. "You're only telling me now, what were you doing then? Also, don't you know that I hate sweets?" "Why should I know? Are we familiar with each other?" Yi Ran, carrying his schoolbag, crossed his hands behind his head, walked forward leisurely, without even glancing at Song Yumeng behind him, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "If you don't like it, just throw it away. You don't want it anyway, right?" The last sentence made Song Yumeng start to panic again. She knew that Yi Ran must still be angry with her, otherwise he wouldn't say such a thing. "Stingy." Song Yumeng whispered bad things about Yi Ran, but her steps were still honestly following her, with the lollipop tightly in her hand. She was just saying something harsh, how could he throw it away? She blamed Yi Ran for being too serious. Didn't he understand when he said something harsh? Yi Ran walked forward with her hands behind her head, and turned her head back deliberately. She was curious whether Song Yumeng had caught up with her. Seeing Song Yumeng following her not far away with a sullen look on her face, holding the orange-flavored lollipop in her hand, Yi Ran curled her lips and smiled, and continued to walk forward leisurely. The timid egg said no with her mouth, but her body was quite honest! There was a traffic light that lasted for a minute ahead, and Yi Ran stopped in front of the sidewalk to wait. Song Yumeng also stopped and stood there, holding the shoulder strap of her schoolbag in her left hand and the lollipop in her right hand. She bit her lower lip and looked at Yi Ran's back, hesitating about something. There were only 20 seconds left before the red light turned red, but Song Yumeng still hadn't caught up. Yi Ran couldn't hold back any longer, so he turned around and said to her, "Why aren't you coming?" Song Yumeng immediately trotted over, her heart beating fast, and she was inexplicably nervous. She thought Yi Ran would say something, but he didn't. He just glanced at her and then turned his gaze to the red light that was jumping seconds. Waiting for the green light, but also waiting for something else. "I was wrong about what happened this morning. I shouldn't have said that." Song Yumeng turned her head away, covering her slightly red face with her hair. She was very embarrassed. After a long while, she twisted her head and said, "Can you... stop being angry?" The green light came on, and Yi Ran smiled faintly, and strode forward with the crowd. This made Song Yumeng even more embarrassed. Could it be that Yi Ran was still angry? But she had already apologized, what was the big deal? "Stingy." Song Yumeng said bad things about Yi Ran in a low voice again, but she still followed her honestly. "Why are you so petty? I've already apologized..." Yi Ran suddenly turned around as soon as she finished speaking. The two were so close that Song Yumeng didn't have time to brake and bumped into her shoulder. She stopped, and her feet happened to be the last sidewalk. The green light passed, and the red light came on again. During the rush hour, cars honked their horns and passed by Song Yumeng one after another, but she stood still and looked at Yi Ran with a dull look in her eyes. Yi Ran frowned, grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the safe sidewalk, a little annoyed: "There's a car behind you, don't you know to move?" Song Yumeng calmly withdrew her hand, stared at her face and said seriously: "Are you still angry?" "No." Yi Ran tried his best to make his expression not look angry. In fact, he was no longer angry when Song Yumeng followed her closely with a lollipop. "But your apology is too unreasonable, you didn't even say those three words?" Yi Ran raised his eyebrows and teased. Song Yumeng lowered her head, her eyes downcast and kept looking at her toes, her naturally falling long hair covered her embarrassed face. Yi Ran waited patiently for her to speak. "Thank you..." Song Yumeng spoke a little softly, and Yi Ran suspected that he had heard it wrong. "Thank me?" She was surprised. "Thank me for what?" Song Yumeng raised her head and looked at her. "Thank you for helping me just now, and for protecting me." She turned her head away again, pinching her fingers below, her whole face flushed. Yi Ran chuckled, "It's just a small favor, no need to thank me." She leaned down slightly to carefully examine Song Yumeng's face, and joked, "Thank you, why are you blushing? Are you shy?" "Who is shy?!" Song Yumeng reacted particularly strongly, waving her fists in the air, and passers-by cast strange eyes at her. Yi Ran curled his lips and smiled at her, then clasped his hands behind his head and continued to walk forward, smiling all the way. Song Yumeng stopped following her, because she knew Yi Ran was no longer angry with her. ... In the blink of an eye, the new semester was almost halfway through, and the midterm exam was coming. "This midterm exam is still very important, and you all have to take it seriously." Tang Xiangping pushed her glasses and continued, "Don't answer questions randomly in this exam. I vaguely remember that someone answered geography questions randomly last time..." She didn't say who it was, but her eyes warned Yi Ran. After class, Song Yumeng deliberately went over to laugh at Yi Ran. "I'm talking to you. I told you not to answer questions randomly." She said with a snicker. Since the last incident, Song Yumeng always likes to find faults and tease Yi Ran whenever she gets the chance. But Yi Ran doesn't mind, and she has teased Song Yumeng a lot. Yi Ran smiled and said, "You're still blaming me. Didn't you also scribble on the math answer sheet? It's just that the examiner didn't tell Tang Seng, otherwise you would have been scolded too."

Song Yumeng didn't take it seriously: "Humph, this only shows that I'm lucky!"

Yi Ran was not annoyed, and said: "How about this, let's do it seriously this time and see who gets a higher score."

"I'm too lazy to compete with you, it's a waste of time." Yi

Ran looked her up and down, and said cunningly: "You are afraid of losing the exam and embarrassing me, so you don't dare to compete?"

"Nonsense! It's obviously me who has no interest in competing with you, okay!" Song Yumeng argued with reason, her face turned red, just to cover up the fact that she was afraid of being embarrassed.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to compete, forget it." Yi Ran crossed his arms and bent down to get closer to Song Yumeng, "But, you can't escape as the last one."

The moment Yi Ran approached, Song Yumeng took a step back to keep a distance from her, her face turned even redder, and she didn't know if it was because of anger or something else.

"You're just waiting to get the last place in the exam!"

Song Yumeng went back to her seat angrily. A few minutes after she left, Xu Yuan came over and said to Yi Ran while getting some water, "How are your preparations going? Are you confident in the exam?"

"What can I do? It's just like that." Yi Ran stopped working on the questions, clasped his hands behind his head and leaned back in the chair. He looked a little cynical. "I'm ready to get the last place in the exam again. I really envy you academic masters who can easily get the first place with just a few strokes of the pen."

Xu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "If you are willing to spend time, you can also get the first place. If you don't understand, you can ask me."

"What a coincidence. I just happen to have a question I don't know how to do. It's this one." There was a geography test paper on the table. Yi Ran pointed to one of the multiple-choice questions and asked.

"This question..." Xu Yuan looked at it for a few seconds and then came up with an idea. Unfortunately, the bell for class rang. "I'll tell you next time. Class is about to start." Yi

Ran nodded and let Xu Yuan go. She was just asking casually anyway, so it didn't matter whether she listened or not.

The class was about to start and the teacher hadn't come yet. Yi Ran took out a lollipop and wanted to eat it. When she looked behind the door to see if there was a teacher on patrol, she found that Song Yumeng was actually looking at her, and she was looking at her with a very resentful look.

It was creepy.

Yi Ran shuddered and couldn't help wondering if she had done something to irritate this young lady again. But when she thought about it, it seemed that she didn't do anything except talking to Xu Yuan just now.

Could it be that even this could irritate her?

But it was true. Song Yumeng hated Xu Yuan the most and had told her many times not to pay attention to Xu Yuan. Yi Ran remembered this.

But...

what if she paid attention to Xu Yuan? Why should he listen to Song Yumeng so much? Could it be that Song Yumeng really ignored Liu Luoyang after she told her to?

It was just a habit! Yi Ran looked at her without hesitation while eating candy, and his eyes were not much better than hers in terms of resentment.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Song Yumeng looked away first, and her expression looked like she was a little upset.

Yi Ran guessed that if nothing unexpected happened, she would definitely come over to cause trouble after class.

As expected, Song Yumeng really came over after class, and it seemed that she came with bad intentions.

"Hey, what did that woman say to you again? Did she ask you to ask her questions again?"

Song Yumeng's tone was not friendly at all, but Yi Ran just wanted to laugh for some reason. The more angry she was, the happier she wanted to laugh.

"How do you know this? Do you have a super hearing?"

"You're nothing! You are not allowed to ask her. That woman is obviously not a good person!"

Yi Ran held back his laughter and looked at her. He felt that compared to Xu Yuan, Song Yumeng, who would get angry when she got angry, was even less likely to be a good person.

"The monitor is kind-hearted. She just said she would come over after class to explain the problem to me." Yi Ran deliberately took out the geography test paper again, pointed at the question and said, "Here, this is it."

Song Yumeng snatched the test paper and said in surprise before she finished reading the question: "You don't know how to do this simple question?"

Yi Ran threw her hands helplessly, "Yeah, I'm stupid. I don't know how to do this simple question. Then you can explain it to me."

She thought Song Yumeng would refuse, but she really did.

Xu Yuan came over to explain the problem as promised, and found Song Yumeng standing next to Yi Ran with a glimmer of disgust in her eyes.

"This..." Xu Yuan pointed at Song Yumeng and looked at Yi Ran, not knowing what to say.

Song Yumeng was interrupted after she had just spoken a few words. She was very annoyed. When she saw that it was Xu Yuan, she became even more annoyed.

"Why are you butting in? Can't you see that I am explaining a problem to Yi Shenjing?" Yi

Ran put his fist between his nose, trying his best to hide his laughter, and did not come out to help Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan left in boredom.

After she walked away, Yi Ran put his fist down and said with a smile: "Now that she's gone, you can continue."

"This question is not difficult, let's, first..." After talking for a long time without saying anything, Song Yumeng saw that there was a mark of 2018 Jiangsu College Entrance Examination next to this question.

It turned out that this question was from the college entrance examination. No wonder she had no idea at all. However, Song Yumeng was already in a dilemma. If she had known, she would not have boasted. She said it was very simple, but she couldn't say it.

Song Yumeng's face was full of embarrassment and turned red. Yi Ran finally couldn't help laughing. He pushed her head with his finger and said, "If you don't know how to do it, just say you don't know how to do it. You boasted that it was very simple. Now you are embarrassed, right?"

"Don't laugh! Otherwise, I will ask someone to beat you up!" Yi Ran

stopped laughing suddenly. After she turned her back and walked away, he laughed recklessly.

Cowards will say harsh words, but if they really fight, they will hide behind her.
