Jiang Ran was like a bristling kitten, using her Phantom Hissing Technique.
If the other person actually got their way, she would be a slave for one day and a servant for 100.
I absolutely cannot let her speak!
“Gynophobia? But you weren’t like this last time. I’d actually like to see what you’re like when it flares up.”
Tao Xixue reached out and pinched Jiang Ran’s little belly.
“It’s so soft~”
Is she even human?
She had thought Gu Ge was invincible, but Tao Xixue was even more over the top.
Jiang Ran was a complete weakling.
If she really fought Tao Xixue, she would lose spectacularly.
Should I use Big Dog Munch Munch on her!?
“See? You’re fine. We’re here, get out of the car.”
Tao Xixue got off Jiang Ran.
The latter was like a withered flower, her consciousness slowly dimming, completely unsure of what to do next.
Jiang Ran got out of the car in a daze.
Walking along the path to the school, her mind was filled with what had just occurred.
She didn’t quite understand exactly where things had gone wrong to make them act this way.
Following the location sent by the Principal, Jiang Ran arrived at a tidy office.
On the sofa, a couple had already been waiting for a long time.
“Are you Student Jiang Ran?”
A woman with a face similar to Bai Ranran’s stood up from the sofa.
“Hello, I’m Jiang Ran. May I ask why you were looking for me?”
Jiang Ran placed her bag by her side, her gaze landing on the two people dressed in casual clothes.
Bai’s Mom coughed lightly and spoke calmly.
“Jiang Ran, don’t be nervous. Auntie just wants to ask one thing. Has Ranran mentioned anything to you about coming home lately?”
“Coming home? I didn’t know about that.”
Jiang Ran scratched her head and shook it.
“I don’t know. Ranran and I are just ordinary classmates. We usually just do group projects together in class, and that’s it. She hasn’t told me anything about her family.”
Bai’s Mom’s gaze gradually dimmed.
“I see… Thank you, Jiang Ran. Since you’re already here, these are some snacks Uncle and Auntie prepared for you. Please take them.”
A bag of snacks was pulled from Bai’s Mom’s bag and placed on the table.
Jiang Ran glanced at the brands and didn’t recognize them at all.
“What are these? They don’t look like anything I’ve seen on the market before.”
In Jiang Ran’s memory, the packaging of these snacks was very rare—types she had never seen before—and they even had quite a bit of fancy foreign text on them.
“They are some snacks her father and I bought while we were away. Take them and share them with your friends. This is a small token of our appreciation, so please accept them.”
The snacks were pushed toward her; there was a bit of everything.
Jiang Ran waved her hand.
“I can’t take these. Auntie, you should keep them for Ranran.”
“Then how about you help me bring them to her? We’re quite busy. Now that we’ve come this one time, we’ll probably have to head back to the laboratory right away. It’s our fault for not taking good care of Ranran. If you can, please look after her for us.”
Looking at the snacks, Jiang Ran swallowed.
She really wanted to refuse, but her stomach was already growling.
Since she hadn’t really eaten any breakfast that morning, she nodded.
“Fine, I’ll bring them to her. You probably have something you want to say to Ranran, right?”
Jiang Ran made a simple guess.
She felt that the reason this couple was looking for her had to be related to passing on a message; otherwise, they wouldn’t have sought her out at this hour.
Seeing how perceptive Jiang Ran was, Bai’s Mom, who had been hesitant about whether to speak, stopped pretending.
She nudged the man next to her, and Bai’s Dad spoke up.
“It’s like this. We mainly came back this time to see Ranran. When she was little, she was far away from us, so we were never able to see her. If you have the time, could you help us find out why she hates us so much?”
“This…”
Jiang Ran’s mouth hung open.
She hadn’t expected Ranran to have issues with her family.
If that were the case, if she helped Ranran reconcile with her family, could she cure Ranran’s condition?
Bai’s Mom bit her lip.
“What is it? If it’s too difficult, just forget it. It’s enough for us to know she isn’t lonely if you can just keep her company.”
On the way there, Bai’s Mom had already mentally prepared herself, so the suggestions she made were fairly reasonable.
“It’s not that. I think you should tell her these things yourselves slowly. I am just a classmate, after all. However, if there’s any trouble I can help with, this is my VX.”
Jiang Ran took out her phone and displayed her QR code, already calculating how to help Bai Ranran’s parents in her mind.
As long as Bai Ranran returned to normal, her own crisis would be resolved along with it.
Bai’s Mom was a bit surprised but still took out her phone.
“Alright, thank you.”
“Okay, now that you’ve added me, Auntie, let’s talk about it later if anything comes up.”
Jiang Ran didn’t stay to chat further and stood up to leave the office.
Calculating the time, it was almost time for class.
Jiang Ran set her alarm and headed to the classroom.
***
Upon entering the classroom, Jiang Ran found a seat in the back.
She opened her phone and looked at the information she had been given, feeling quite worried.
She wasn’t sure how to tell Bai Ranran.
Today was a combined class for two majors, and Bai Ranran wasn’t in the same class as Jiang Ran; they had only been together during the last combined class.
She noticed that Su Wanqing had sent her another message, once again asking if she wanted to play games.
Jiang Ran ignored it.
When class ended, she sent a location to Bai Ranran, saying she had something for her.
During the Ideology Class, Bai Ranran was bored and sipping on a drink.
Because eating wasn’t allowed in this Ideology Class, she could only settle for drinking water.
Right when class finished, Bai Ranran felt the phone in her pocket vibrate.
After opening it, she saw Jiang Ran’s message.
Bai Ranran quickly grabbed her backpack and was the first to run out of the classroom.
The people who usually had some interaction with Bai Ranran thought the sun had risen from the west.
They were very puzzled—why was she running so fast?
By the school fountain, Jiang Ran crouched down to look at the fish in the pond.
An out-of-breath voice sounded behind her.
“Jiang Ran, I’m here. Why were you looking for me?”
Jiang Ran turned her head and looked at Bai Ranran’s exquisite face.
It was flushed pink, and even without makeup, she looked incredibly beautiful.
Just one look made one feel as if she were a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.
It was true that Bai Ranran was beautiful, but Jiang Ran was also aware of her current state.
There was no way anything could happen between her and Bai Ranran.
Therefore, Jiang Ran took the items she had prepared out of her pocket.
“Your parents asked me to give these to you. I’ve brought them for you.”
“My parents… they… they found you?”
Bai Ranran’s expression fluctuated between dark and light.
Staring at Jiang Ran’s face, she actually started to cry, which left Jiang Ran dumbfounded.
Wait, girl, what are you crying for?
Quite a few people nearby stopped to look.
After seeing it was two girls, they quickly hurried away.
Jiang Ran waved her hands and asked:
“Bai Ranran, why are you crying!?”
