C9 Pancake Face

An Ran envied her for wearing a nice dress.

Su Ruan's mother was gentle and generous. She raised Su Ruan by herself, and she was kind to An Ran as well. She treated An Ran as if she were treating Su Ruan.

As for An Ran's mother, once her father passed away, she immediately remarried. She felt that how could a woman support her child? She was too weak, even if her newly-married husband was plotting against her daughter. She had no intention of taking her daughter away, she only wanted to change her daughter.

If it wasn't for An Ran forcing her mother to divorce her, perhaps she would still be trapped by that man. As for An Ran, she might have chosen to give up.

To give up her mother, or to give up the life she had just had, An Ran herself was unclear.

The two girls clearly had the same experience, but they had different lives.

They were both young and had lost their fathers, but Su Ruan was much luckier than An Ran.

"Su Ruan, how do you feel about liking someone?" An Ran suddenly asked.

Su Ruan's mind spun a few times as a face inexplicably flashed before her eyes. There was a hint of a smile that was not a smile in her eyes as she spoke to Su Ruan, revealing her shoulder straps …

An Ran laid on the bed with her chin on her hands, looking at Su Ruan. She waved her palm in front of Su Ruan, "What are you thinking about? "Her face is so red."

Su Ruan came back to her senses and touched her burning face. "Nothing."

An Ran did not believe her. From the looks of it, she knew that this girl must have something on her mind.

"Why do you suddenly ask, do you have someone you like?" Su Ruan quickly changed the topic.

Sure enough, An Ran sighed, "It should be."

"He helped me a lot. I always thought I was grateful to him, but only recently did I realize that it wasn't gratitude. I like him, very much."

An Ran's eyes dimmed a little, "But he doesn't seem to like me. I heard that he has a childhood friend who grew up with him. I've seen that girl before, she's very outstanding."

Su Ruan quietly listened to An Ran talk about the man she liked.

He could tell that An Ran was feeling inferior.

Her experiences since young had caused her to feel inferiority complex in her bones. However, An Ran didn't know that compared to her tenacity, that trace of inferiority complex was nothing.

During dinner, An Ran recounted her two years of experience.

For the past two years, she had been working hard to divorce her mother and stepfather. While working, she hadn't forgotten to study.

After hearing that she could apply for the adult college entrance exam and safely made a plan, she wouldn't give up on studying. After saving up two years of money, she would go take the college entrance exam and continue her studies.

Su Ruan knew that there was no way she wouldn't succeed in making a decision.

"Then does he like his childhood sweetheart?"

An Ran shook her head in disappointment. "I don't know."

Su Ruan asked again, "Then are they together?"

An Ran's eyes lit up. "No, I asked him. He said they are just neighbors."

Su Ruan tapped An Ran's forehead, "Where's your usual cleverness and boldness? "How can you be so cowardly."

An Ran forced a smile, "You don't know, every time I encounter something related to him, I feel like I'm stupid. It's as if my brain is stuck with paste."

No matter how bold a person was, once he met the person he liked, he would be careful to not act rashly.

Su Ruan, on the other hand, was very curious about that man. She didn't know what kind of man could make Ding Anran become like that.

Su Ruan went to sleep quickly. An Ran covered the thin blanket she kicked off and stared at the stars on the ceiling in a daze.

Her life was so busy that she couldn't even breathe. All sorts of things were pressing down on her, and she was on the verge of collapse.

That person's appearance was her salvation.

When she was on the verge of giving up her life, An Ran would always remember him coming out of the classroom, warm as jade, when An Ran's attention was entirely on the hand holding the chalk.

Those two hands were really pretty, with long joints and neatly trimmed nails. There was some chalk dust on the tips of her fingers, as if there was a speck of dust on a beautiful jade.

As though it was a heavenly music to the ears, he turned to An Ran and asked, "Are you a student here?"

An Ran felt embarrassed, as if she was a spy caught red-handed.

Realizing her embarrassment, he spoke again. "Come in with me."

Without waiting for her to react, he had already turned around and entered the classroom.

An Ran followed in.

When class was over, he brought An Ran to his office. It was he who pointed out a clear path for An Ran.

It made her feel that there was still bright hope left in this dark life.

He didn't know when, but the feelings he had for him had already entered his bones. They had not seen each other for a few days, and now they were deep in each other's hearts.

She didn't just miss Su Ruan, but also wanted to find a place to quietly check her heart out.

When they woke up in the morning, it was already late. Su's Mother went to the store.

Su Ruan came out with a toothbrush. Her breakfast was still warm in the microwave.

Su Ruan brushed her teeth, washed her face, and washed her face before going to wash her face. She pinched Su Ruan's crayon … Shin-chan towel with disgust on her face. "Su Lili, what kind of perverted habit is this? You have to use a crayon to wash towels."

How come she couldn't tell that this cartoon character was cute in any way? He was dumbstruck and had a face like an eggplant.

Su Ruan poured two cups of milk and served them on the table. An Ran took the breakfast out of the microwave.

She didn't forget her crayon, Shin-chan, so she clicked her tongue, "Say, where do you think the eggplant face is cute? Do you like it like this?"

Su Ruan bared her teeth. "You're the one with the eggplant face, you're the one with the cake face!"

An Ran: "…"

After the meal, the crayon Shin-chan's pants on the balcony had dried up. Su Ruan took it off and went back to her room to help Shin-chan put it on.

An Ran walked in while sipping her milk. She leaned against the door frame and said, "Come with me to check on Grandma Wu. I wonder how she's doing."

Su Ruan placed Shin-chan beside the pillow and nodded, "Don't worry, Grandma Wu is in good health. I went to see her a while ago and she was even talking to me about you, worrying about how you are doing."

An Ran's eyes were filled with warmth. She drank the milk in one gulp, found the change of clothes she brought, and changed her pajamas. She urged Su Ruan, "Hurry and change your clothes."

Su Ruan was a bit helpless and anxious.

Su Ruan had a cap on her head, a ginger cap with English letters on the side, loose white sleeves, and a pair of shorts underneath.

After changing their clothes and preparing food and milk for the kitten, the two of them left the house.

When he arrived at Grandma Wu's house, she was picking up vegetables in the yard. She was standing at the door, looking at the sluggish old man, her eyes burning with passion.

When she was young, she was often beaten up by her stepfather. After getting beaten up, he would always come here. Grandma Wu would hold her in her arms and help her wash her wounds, and in her heart, she would look for her stepfather to argue.

But how could an old man like her stop a man in his prime? Every time he got beaten up, Grandma Wu would secretly wipe away her tears as she applied the medicine.

An Ran did not let her go to school until she was in her second year of high school. It was only after Grandma Wu paid for her that she was able to continue her studies.

Fortunately, her grades were very good. Every time she came back with a medal, An Ran would immediately come to Grandma Wu's house and watch as Grandma Wu caressed and blossomed.

Grandma Wu had no children. It was said that she had a son and died of an emergency. Her husband abandoned her and ran away with other women.

Grandma Wu was too old to listen, and her eyes were a little blurry. Even though An Ran and Su Ruan stood at the door for a long time, she did not notice them.

"Grandma Wu." Su Ruan shouted.

The old man did not hear him.

Su Ruan's voice became louder, "Grandma Wu!"

Grandma Wu raised her head and squinted her cloudy eyes. When she saw Su Ruan, a look of pleasant surprise flashed across her eyes. "Aiya, Ruan is here. Come in quickly. It's sunny outside. Grandmother will bring you some oranges for you to eat."

Standing up, only then did she see An Ran through Su Ruan. She was somewhat puzzled and asked Su Ruan with a smile, "Is she Ruan's friend?" "She's really beautiful."

Seeing the two of them not moving, Grandma Wu urged again, "Come in quickly." She instructed Su Ruan, "Ruan, get a stool for your friend. Grandmother will bring you some oranges."

An Ran's throat seemed to be choked by something. She was so sore that she couldn't speak. After a long while, she finally shouted, "Grandma Wu!"
