Difficult To Raise Chapter 41
byChapter 41 Reward: The professor in this class is not too strict, even the first…
The professor in this class was not very strict and didn’t even take the exam.As soon as the class time came, I would open the ppt and talk about the course on my own, reciting various complex theoretical concepts at once. The whole class was dry and there was no interaction with the students.
The students below were all lazy, some were playing with their mobile phones, some were sleeping, and almost no one was listening.
Jiang Ran originally listened attentively, but Jiang Jin kept staring at him from the side, which inevitably distracted him.
After mistaking notes again, Jiang Ran raised his head unbearably and glared at him.
Jiang Jin put away his sunglasses as soon as he entered the classroom, revealing a pair of bright eyes. When Jiang Ran looked over, he bent his eyes and smiled at him, with obvious dimples on his cheeks.
“Can you stop looking at me all the time?” Jiang Ran lowered his voice.
Jiang Jin yawned and leaned lazily on the back of his chair, “What your teacher said is like a holy book, and I can’t understand it. What are you reading if you don’t want to read it?”
“Can’t you play with your phone?”
“What’s so fun about a cell phone?” Jiang Jin was a little uninterested.
Jiang Ran’s blood was pounding. He took out his mobile phone and clicked on a horror puzzle game that he had downloaded for a long time. The game was quite difficult. He had been stuck at the last level for half a month. He handed the phone to Jiang Jin and said, “Since it’s so boring, help me pass the level.”
Jiang Jin took the phone and glanced at the interface, then suddenly chuckled.He turned to look at Jiang Ran, with a sly look in his eyes, “If I pass the level, are there any rewards?”
Jiang Ran was speechless, “You want a reward for playing a small game?”
“Promise me first, brother.” Jiang Jin softened his voice and acted rogue: “Otherwise I won’t play.”
Jiang Ran had nothing to do with him. He just wanted this person to stop disturbing his lectures. Besides, the game was recognized to be very difficult. He didn’t believe Jiang Jin could easily pass the level, so he said perfunctorily: “Let’s clear it first.”
Jiang Jin raised his lips in satisfaction, held his phone obediently, lowered his head and played the game.The look that made Jiang Ran feel uneasy finally disappeared. Only then did he feel relieved and began to concentrate on taking notes.
Until the bell rang, Jiang Ran was packing up his books when a hand stretched out from his side.
Jiang Ran looked sideways and saw Jiang Jin holding up the phone and shaking it with pride in his eyes and brows.
In the game, the little man in overalls rarely showed a sad face, but gave a thumbs up to the screen.Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he realized belatedly that he had actually passed the level.
Jiang Jin came closer, his warm breath touching his ear, “Brother, remember to owe me a reward, you promised me.”
Jiang Ran looked sideways at him and didn’t answer. He just said, “Are you so free today?” He didn’t understand how a high school student could be more free than a college student like him.
“I’m asking for leave.” Jiang Jin said confidently.
Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he felt an unknown fire coming up. He couldn’t help but raise his voice, “What?!”
“Why are you so loud?” Jiang Jin held his chin with one hand and put on an innocent expression, “Who told you that you refused to come to see me, so I had to come to you.”
Jiang Ran took a deep breath and tried to suppress his temper. He dragged Jiang Jin out and said, “Let’s go eat first. After you finish, you can come back to school.”
Jiang Jin followed him and still looked at him with a smile.
The two of them walked towards the cafeteria one after another. When passing by the secluded woods on the west side of the school, Jiang Jin suddenly grabbed his wrist with his backhand and pulled him deep into the woods with a strong tug.
It was lunch time, and the students were all busy eating. No one came to this remote place. The tall trees around them completely hid their figures, and there was almost no clue from the outside.
Jiang Ran didn’t understand what Jiang Jin meant by suddenly pulling him in. He frowned and looked at him, “What are you doing?”
“I don’t want to eat yet.” Jiang Jin lowered his head and came closer, his warm breath spraying on Jiang Ran’s face, “I want a reward.”
“You want-”
The rest of the words were swallowed up in the sudden kiss.Compared to the brutal one last time, this kiss was so gentle that it caught Jiang Ran off guard.The four lips touched each other gently, and Jiang Jin was like a clumsy boy, just touching her like a dragonfly, and then stepped away.
Jiang Ran’s eyes widened, watching as his fluttering eyelashes slowly raised, and the face that was close at hand slowly moved away, and his mind went blank.
Jiang Jin stretched out his hand, touched his lips with his fingertips, and said in a low voice, “It’s very sweet.”
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and smiled at Jiang Ran, revealing a sharp fang and looking straight at him with an expression that was indescribably sultry.
Jiang Ran’s mind exploded with a “boom”, and only his slightly red lips were visible.When he came to his senses, his cheeks were already as red as a ripe crab, half out of shame and half out of anger.
At this moment, he finally understood why he always felt something was wrong before. It turned out to be waiting for him here.As expected, this little lunatic still has the same virtues. Everything about letting go and apologizing is just to coax him!
“What are you crazy about?!” Jiang Ran suppressed his temper and pushed him hard. He wanted to slap him again, but he raised his hand for a moment and then dropped it weakly.
Jiang Jin was pushed back two steps, but he didn’t care at all. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, “What’s wrong? It’s just a kiss. Why do you have such a big reaction? It’s not like you haven’t been kissed before.”
After saying that, he grabbed his hand and swung it at his face, “Hit him if you want, I won’t hide.”
“What do you want?” Jiang Ran withdrew his hand tiredly, his voice full of weakness: “If you are sick, get treated!”
Jiang Jin looked at him deeply for a while, and then suddenly said: “Brother, didn’t you say you want to go back to the past with me? What if this is how I want to reconcile?”
He reached out and touched his cheek.
Jiang Ran frowned and ducked back, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Jiang Jin smiled, but did not continue to move, and said shamelessly: “When I kissed you, I couldn’t remember anything about what happened before.”
“Maybe if I do it a few more times, I’ll give up completely.”
When he said this, his tone was casual and flirtatious.
Jiang Ran’s anger was instantly ignited, and he almost roared: “Wake the fuck up! Don’t think of me as the girls you dated before. I’m not the one you want to try out.”
He felt that Jiang Jin was causing trouble because he was new, because he had only dated girls before, and the last time he had an unexpected close contact with a boy, it aroused his curiosity.In addition, this method can also tease him. He is happy to see him angry, panic, and being played around.
But…but he is not another boy, he is his brother.For a moment, Jiang Ran felt embarrassed and sad, and his eyes were red.
Jiang Jin looked at his red eyes and suddenly fell silent. After a long while, he whispered: “Brother, I have never kissed anyone else, and you are the first one.”
Jiang Ran was startled and turned away feeling uncomfortable: “Why are you telling me this? Who cares about you -”
He realized something was wrong mid-sentence, swallowed the rest of the words, and said angrily: “Don’t you find it disgusting? Don’t you only like girls? Why do you force yourself to do such a thing? Just to make me feel uncomfortable?” Jiang Ran thought it was ridiculous.
Jiang Jin just looked at him steadily, his eyes unspeakable.
“I was lying to you when I said I was disgusting.” He said mockingly, “Why are you so stupid? You believe everything others say.”
“Why do you believe every word I tell lies, and why don’t you believe a word when I tell the truth?”
Jiang Ran was stunned.
“Brother, I really don’t like men.” Jiang Jin lowered his head slightly, his expression serious as never before, “Only you are different. I can’t let you go. I haven’t let you go since I was a child, and I still can’t let you go when I grow up. Even if you want to abandon me, even if you don’t want me, but I…”
He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, “I can’t help it, I give up.”
“But this time, I want to take the initiative,” Jiang Jin stared into his eyes and said word by word: “Whether you want it or not, you can’t escape.”
Jiang Ran looked at him blankly, feeling unprecedented panic.What happened during the four years they were separated?He felt that he really didn’t recognize the person in front of him.Maybe he never really knew him.
In the end, the meal was not eaten, and Jiang Ran almost ran away.
*
After that day, Jiang Jin didn’t appear in front of Jiang Ran again for a long time, but He Qian made several appointments with him.
Jiang Ran ignored it with the excuse that he wanted to work part-time.It wasn’t until he couldn’t hide anymore that he had to agree to go out for dinner with He Qian.
The two went to a nearby restaurant with delicious food. While waiting for the food to be served, Jiang Ran kept staring at He Qian, feeling a little uneasy. He really didn’t want He Qian to suffer unreasonable disasters for his own reasons, but he couldn’t do it if he was asked to stay away from this friend.
That tangled look fell in He Qian’s eyes, leaving him completely confused, “What’s going on? Why are you looking at me like that?”
Jiang Ran picked up the tea and took a sip. He hesitated for a moment and said, “You… must tell me if you encounter any trouble recently.”
“What can happen to me?” He Qian was happy, with a nonchalant look on his face, “Why do you ask so suddenly? Did you hear someone say something? I’m telling you, don’t believe or spread rumors.”
He usually abides by the law and never does anything out of the ordinary. The most he does is chat with people inside when playing games. There is no way that someone will come along the network cable and beat him up.
Jiang Ran said: “Anyway, just remember what I say.”
With Jiang Jin’s current personality, he didn’t dare to turn a deaf ear to his words, but he couldn’t explain it too clearly. He knew He Qian, and if he knew about it, he would go directly to confront Jiang Jin.
“Don’t worry.” Seeing his serious expression, He Qian became a little more serious, “Don’t you know me yet? I don’t like to cause trouble normally, so if you have to talk about who you have provoked recently…”
At this point, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Jiang Ran looked at him blankly.
“Ahem…it’s the little mute I met at my sister’s bar last time. Do you remember?” The smile on He Qian’s face hadn’t dissipated yet. He curled his lips and said, “It’s quite interesting.”
“Who?” Jiang Ran thought about it and couldn’t remember the last time he met a mute.
“It’s the drummer who waited for the rain to stop, the guy who pulled him up to the sky.” He Qian explained.
“You mean He Siyu?” Jiang Ran suddenly realized.
He Qian suppressed a smile and nodded.
Jiang Ran was speechless, “What did you do?”
“What can I do?” He Qian looked at Jiang Ran with an innocent face, “Isn’t he a partner in my sister’s shop? Last time I offended him, my sister scolded me severely and insisted that I apologize to others. I can only listen to my sister’s words and have a good relationship with him. You don’t know, that kid is fun to tease.” As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and the smile on his face deepened.
Jiang Ran couldn’t understand his bad taste at all, so he advised, “Don’t bully others too much, just a child.”
“I’m sensible, so I just tease him for fun.” He Qian shrugged, looking unconcerned, “Speaking of this, my sister and the others have decided to organize a team building at the end of this month. They said they are going to camp on a mountain over in Beicheng. Do you want to go with us?”
Jiang Ran hesitated, “I won’t go.”
He and Shen Xin didn’t know each other that well, so it would be bad to bother them all day long.
“No, everyone in their store is going. It’s so crowded.” He Qian hurriedly advised: “Besides, I know my sister well. If you don’t go, it will be embarrassing for me to be alone. Can you just think of it as helping me?”
He blinked and looked at Jiang Ran expectantly, almost begging him.
Jiang Ran lowered his head. He was really not very good at rejecting others, so he could only say, “Okay then.”
At this time, their dishes were also served one after another.The signature of this shop is boiled fish. The red and spicy soup is paired with the tender and delicious fish. Just looking at it will make you want to eat.
He Qian smiled and gave him a chopstick dish, “Try it, my friend strongly recommended it. He said that he couldn’t find anything better than this one in this area. I know you love fish, so I brought you here to try it.”
Jiang Ran took a bite, and the wonderful taste hit his taste buds instantly, making him squint his eyes in enjoyment, and commented: “It’s really good. The chef has a good control of the heat. The fish is neither old nor burnt, and it is delicious.” He may not have eaten a dish that suits his appetite for a long time.
“If you like it, let’s come again next time.” He Qian said.
The two of them were chatting, and Jiang Ran’s cell phone on the table rang.He took it over and took a look. It was an unfamiliar number.Jiang Ran hesitated for a moment and pressed the answer button.
“Hello? Who is this?”
No one spoke on the other end of the phone, only shallow breathing could be heard.
Jiang Ran frowned, “I’ll die if you don’t speak.”
“Brother——”
A familiar voice suddenly penetrated his ears. It was Jiang Jin. His voice was somewhere between the clearness of a boy and the magnetism of an adult. It was particularly recognizable.
