Chapter 828 Ranbao extra (1)
"Chu Simiao, are you sure Senior Zhong will pass by this road?"
In a grove of trees, two girls were hiding behind a towering ancient tree, whispering to each other as they gazed at the shady path not far away.
One of the girls was wearing a huge sun hat, the brim of which completely covered her rosy face, and the slight tremor in her voice revealed her nervousness.
"Ranran, don't worry, I've found out everything," another girl said sincerely, holding the hand of the girl in the hat. "Senior Zhong Lin has a lecture for the third-year students at 3 pm today. It's 4:30 now, and the lecture has just ended. As long as he goes back to the dormitory, he will definitely take this road. We're here, and we can definitely catch him!"
Kong Ran breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. You said I just wanted to give him a ticket to a stage play, why was I so nervous?"
Chu Simiao, her best friend, chuckled and said, "There's a saying that goes, 'Love makes you lose yourself.' You're only nervous; you already have pretty good mental fortitude."
"Hey, they're here!" Chu Simiao, with her sharp eyes, grabbed Kong Ran and exclaimed, "Look over there, isn't that Senior Zhong coming over there?"
Kong Ran looked closely and saw that the tall, slender man walking towards them, wearing a sky-blue T-shirt, brown trousers, and carrying a white crossbody bag, was none other than Zhong Lin!
Her heart started racing, and her hands started sweating involuntarily.
With her eyes closed, she frantically recited the cheat sheet she had prepared before coming: Hello, Senior Zhong Lin, I am Kong Ran, a junior from your drama club. I wonder if you still remember me?
Thanks to your guidance when I was in the drama club, I was able to successfully complete the graduation performance organized by the drama club. To thank you, I have two tickets here for tonight's stage play, which is performed by a very famous comedian. I wonder if you have time to go with me tonight?
She finished reciting it silently and felt confident. Chu Simiao next to her nudged her, "Alright, stop muttering. If you keep muttering, everyone will be leaving! Go, go!"
Kong Ran took a deep breath, nodded, and, clutching the two tickets, was about to leave like a warrior going into battle.
Unexpectedly, just as she took a step, she saw a beautiful woman running towards her from not far away.
The other woman wore a pale yellow dress that accentuated her elegant figure, and her long, smooth curly hair carried a refreshing fragrance as it ran.
Most importantly, her goal was clear—she ran over and immediately took Zhong Lin's arm!
This sudden turn of events abruptly halted Kong Ran's steps in the grove.
She stared blankly as the other person greeted Zhong Lin affectionately: "Linlin, my darling!"
Zhong Lin seemed to have a headache, but he didn't push her away. He just said helplessly, "Why are you here?"
She scoffed, "Listen to what you're saying! Don't you have any humanity?! We haven't seen each other in ages, don't you miss me at all?!"
Zhong Lin sighed: "Think about it, then tell me, which restaurant do you want to eat at today?"
The beautiful woman chuckled, took his arm, and said, "You know me so well! Come on, come on, I recently discovered a Sichuan restaurant, the food is absolutely amazing..."
As she spoke, she pulled Zhong Lin away step by step.
No one noticed that two girls, looking completely bewildered, remained in the nearby grove of trees.
Once everyone was completely out of sight, Kong Ran silently turned around and looked at Chu Simiao: "Didn't you say that Zhong Lin doesn't have a girlfriend?"
Chu Simiao was also completely bewildered by what had just happened, and subconsciously said guiltily, "No, Ranran, the graduate student I asked around really told me he doesn't have a boyfriend!!"
"Was that beautiful woman just now something I imagined?" Kong Ran's voice was filled with sorrow.
Chu Simiao said cautiously, "...No, that's not it, but what if there's a misunderstanding?! Ranran, you're not just going to give up like this, are you..."
Kong Ran: "..."
She didn't want to give up.
She's liked Zhong Lin for not just a day or two, but for two whole years!!
Ever since she joined the drama club in her sophomore year and saw Zhong Lin once, she has become like Guo Xiang. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she fell in love with Zhong Lin at first sight!
Having grown up, she's seen countless handsome young men, not to mention her own father, brothers, and other family members, whose looks alone far surpass those of many eligible men in Kyoto.
Logically speaking, she should have become immune to handsome men long ago.
But the moment she saw Zhong Lin, she knew she was doomed; she had fallen for him.
He wasn't the most handsome one, but he was tall and thin, clean-cut, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and didn't talk much, but his gentle manner inexplicably captivated her.
Unfortunately, Zhong Lin and she were not in the same department, not only were they not in the same department, but they were not even in the same year.
She was a sophomore in college, and he was a first-year graduate student.
She thought at the time that it didn't matter if she was a first-year graduate student, since they were in the same school and the same club, and there would always be a chance to get to know each other.
Unexpectedly, this person only appeared once in the drama club, and was never seen again after that.
Kong Ran later learned that Zhong Lin had been recognized as an outstanding graduate student by the department and had been sent to R country for an exchange program not long after the start of the semester.
She truly experienced what it meant to be "born before I was born, born after I was old"—a truly unfortunate twist of fate!
Because she also went to Japan for a six-month exchange program during her freshman year, and as soon as she came back, the senior she liked went to Japan again.
But what other options did she have?
We can only wait.
She waited for two whole years!
When Zhong Lin was a third-year graduate student and she was a senior in college, she finally managed to get him back.
Kong Ran didn't believe in love at first sight, but after meeting Zhong Lin once in the past two years, she rejected hundreds of love letters and didn't date a single person from her sophomore year to her senior year.
In the words of her best friend Chu Simiao, Kong Ran is the Three Lives Stone, and she and Zhong Lin definitely had a predestined relationship from a previous life. In this life, they met at first sight and their fate was sealed. They have come to continue their predestined relationship.
Kong Ran found this to be true; otherwise, how could she explain being bewitched?
As soon as she saw him return, a little flame ignited in her heart.
So, taking advantage of the opportunity to rehearse with the drama club, I managed to become acquainted with Zhong Lin.
During those days, she was incredibly grateful that they needed to earn enough club credits to graduate school, otherwise she estimated she wouldn't have seen Zhong Lin much in the clubs.
But that was all it took to become a familiar face.
Because Zhong Lin was so outstanding, it didn't take long for him to successfully "earn" enough credits from the drama club.
Once he had enough credits, he wouldn't come back much, and they would have even fewer opportunities to meet.
Kong Ran and Chu Simiao discussed it and realized that things couldn't continue like this. If they wanted to develop their relationship, how could they not even have a chance to meet?
Besides, they'll be graduating soon, and if this matter isn't resolved, it could become a lifelong regret!
Thus, the scene at the beginning unfolded—they decided to use the junior girl's gratitude for the senior's help in exchange for an opportunity to take the initiative!
