Difficult To Raise Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Ask for advice. After thinking about it for two days, Jiang Ran still…

Jiang Ran’s illness came and went quickly. After a few bottles of water, the discomfort completely disappeared, and the doctor informed him that he could be discharged from the hospital.Jiang Ran took the order from the nurse and went to the inpatient department to complete the procedures.But he unexpectedly learned that someone had already paid his medical bills in advance.

Jiang Ran’s heart moved, and he asked people again, but still didn’t get any useful information.But Jiang Ran never believed that such a coincidence existed in the world.The kind person who sent him to the hospital would feel exactly the same as Jiang Jin.

What if there was a one-in-a-thousand chance that that person was him?

The moment this idea arose, Jiang Ran’s heart beat uncontrollably.

In fact, the words Jiang Jin said before certainly made him uncomfortable, but for Jiang Ran, the thing he couldn’t face the most was not these, but Jiang Jin’s heartfelt rejection.

If his appearance will only cause Jiang Jin pain and make him recall the past again and again, then does he still need to bother him?

After all, Jiang Ran only hoped that Jiang Jin could live a happy life from beginning to end, so that even if they could never see each other again, he would be willing to do so.But now, another possibility was before him.

What if things weren’t what he thought?

Once again, Jiang Ran woke up at two o’clock in the night, helplessly opening his eyes and looking at the snow-white ceiling above his head.

Maybe people are like this. When you don’t see someone, you can still hold back and not think about it, but once you see someone, you can no longer hold back.How could their relationship, which had been together for more than ten years, break up on bad terms just because of a few words like that.

After tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, Jiang Ran simply took out his phone, clicked into the photo album, and looked through the photos from the past one by one.

There are many and mixed photos in the phone. Most of them are homework information, a few are scenery, and the rest are all related to Jiang Jin.

He couldn’t bear to delete any of the photos he took in the past, so he kept them in a separate folder.

Jiang Jin is very photogenic. No matter what angle he takes, there are almost no ugly photos. He seems to be born with camera expressiveness. When Jiang Ran was a little carrot head, Jiang Ran held up his mobile phone to take pictures of him, and he could already smile sweetly at the camera.

So now Jiang Ran looked at Jiang Jin in the photo. The more he looked at it, the cuter he felt, and the more he looked at her, the softer his heart became.

The anger dissipated in an instant, just like Jiang Jin said, he was the first to let go of his hand, it was he who didn’t want him first, and he was the one who was being unreasonable.

Jiang Ran thought, forget it, what is there to be angry with Jiang Jin, or just try again.

If…if he really still cares about him, but can’t get over the hurdle in his heart, then he should take the initiative to untie the knot.

But after they reunited, Jiang Jin was invulnerable and could not tolerate hard or soft things. Jiang Ran really didn’t know how to start, and he was worried.

After thinking about it for two days, Jiang Ran decided to find foreign help. He didn’t know many friends around him, so Tang Qin definitely didn’t need to count on him.After much thought, he still planned to ask for help from Jiang Haodong, who had a girlfriend. After all, coaxing his partner and coaxing his younger brother should be similar to a certain extent, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran was a little hesitant, but he really had no choice but to act like a live doctor. He took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Jiang Haodong.

R: [Mouse, are you here?Ask you something.】

Jiang Haodong had no classes this afternoon and went on a date with his girlfriend after lunch. Jiang Ran waited for a long time before receiving his reply.

Jiang Haodong: [What’s wrong?I was just watching a movie, not looking at my phone.】

R: [It’s not a big deal.】

Jiang Ran typed hesitantly.

R: [That…your girlfriend…]

Jiang Haodong: [?】

Jiang Ran gritted his teeth and directly said what he wanted to ask.

R: [When your girlfriend is angry, how do you comfort her?Do you have any tips to share?】

After the message was sent, Jiang Ran thought he would have to wait a little longer, but he didn’t expect that the other party would reply quickly this time, several times within seconds.

Jiang Haodong: [!!!!】

Jiang Haodong: [There’s something wrong with you, Ran’er.】

Jiang Haodong: [Tell me, are you in love behind our backs?!】

Jiang Ran didn’t think so much when he was typing, but now he realizes something is wrong. This sentence seems to be easily misunderstood, so he quickly explains:

R: [No discussion, not a coaxing partner.】

Jiang Haodong: [?Who are you coaxing?】

R: [Coax my brother.】

Jiang Haodong: [???】

Is this right?He didn’t understand, he was shocked.

R: [I made him angry.】

Jiang Ran sent two crying expressions.

R: [He ignored me. I really don’t know what to do. Is there anything I can do?】

Jiang Haodong:……

Okay, he thought about it, it’s all about coaxing, and it’s the same for everyone. As long as the method is used correctly, the effect should be about the same. He recalled his usual methods of coaxing his girlfriend, and felt that it was quite useful, so he boldly taught his experience.

Jiang Haodong: [Well, it’s actually easy to solve. Let me tell you, if it’s your fault, you definitely can’t just apologize perfunctorily, that won’t work.】

Jiang Haodong: [Like I made a mistake and I want to make it up to you. These words are useless. You must say less. If you say anything, you will step on the thunder.】

Jiang Ran frowned slightly when he saw this line. No wonder Jiang Jin ignored him and his attitude became worse every time.

Jiang Ran felt that what he said made sense and humbly asked for advice.

R: [What should we do?】

Jiang Haodong: [You have to coax his emotions down first, and then apologize after he is no longer angry. The effect will be doubled.You don’t need to teach me about this. Send gifts, say nice things, keep your head down and make small talk. The most important thing is that you have to be careful and let him know that you will change.】

Jiang Haodong: [According to my experience, it’s basically OK up to this point. If it still doesn’t work…]

Jiang Haodong: [Then just hug the person and act coquettishly. At this time, you have to be thick-skinned. If the person loses his temper, the matter will be over.】

Jiang Haodong: [This is my secret to keeping the bottom of the box. I can only help you so far.】

R:【……】

When Jiang Ran saw the last two lines of words, a flash of discomfort flashed across his face.Acting like a baby… How could he do it? In the past, Jiang Jin was the only one who could hug him and act like a baby, and they were both children at the time, so they didn’t pay much attention to it. It still feels weird if he does it now.

Jiang Ran decided to put this aside for now and start with the simplest thing.

Say something nice…give a gift…

This is not difficult, but…

Jiang Ran frowned and suddenly remembered that he didn’t have Jiang Jin’s contact information.He struggled for a while, then silently opened the memo and pulled out a number.Jiang Jin jotted this down when he was taking care of her at the hotel that day when she was drunk.

Click on WeChat, enter your mobile phone number, and an account will pop up on the screen.His avatar is gray and black, and his nickname only has two capital letters, RJ.

As if his heart was slightly hit by something, Jiang Ran stared at the nickname for a long time, his nose feeling a little sore. He once again thought of what happened before. Maybe his guess was true, and Jiang Jin was not as repulsive to him as he showed.

With a hint of expectation, Jiang Ran pressed his hand on the add friend button, hesitated for a moment, and then sent the application.

He left no verification information, and he knew Jiang Jin could recognize him.

Sure enough, until the next day, the friend request was still in vain. Jiang Ran did not feel disappointed. This was expected.

He originally thought that if it didn’t work out, he would go back to his old trick and squat outside Jiang Jin’s school. However, at night, when he was drifting off to sleep, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Jiang Ran touched it with half-squinted eyes, and his mind suddenly became clear.

Jiang Jin actually approved his friend application!

Looking at “RJ” lying quietly in the WeChat list, Jiang Ran couldn’t help but feel happy.He wanted to send a message, but he was afraid that it would disturb Jiang Jin’s rest so late, so he had to suppress his impulse and click on Jiang Jin’s circle of friends.

It’s a pity that it is completely blank. I don’t know if there is no content in the first place, or if it is blocked alone.

Maybe he accidentally clicked OK, or maybe he didn’t recognize it was him at all, but whatever the reason, they added their contact information again, which was undoubtedly a good start.

Miraculously, when Jiang Ran went to bed that night, he didn’t have nightmares for the first time in a long time, and he slept until full moonlight.

The next morning, while the other two roommates in the dormitory were still sleeping, Jiang Ran got up from the bed and went to the cafeteria to have breakfast. He bought a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and a plate of pickled cucumbers, found an empty seat and sat down. After taking two bites, he suddenly remembered that he had added Jiang Jin’s WeChat account last night.

At this point, sending a message should not disturb him.

Jiang Ran thought for a while, took out his phone and clicked into Jiang Jin’s chat box.It was completely empty, except for a notification automatically sent by WeChat that a friend had passed.

Jiang Ran bit his chopsticks, thinking about what Jiang Haodong told him, and started typing on the keyboard.

——Xiao Jin, good morning, have you gotten up?

——…I thought a lot after I came back that day. You are right, I abandoned you first, and you should hate me.

——I can’t change what happened in the past, but I can’t stop seeing you.

——In these four years, I…I miss you very much, every day.I wonder what you will look like when I see you again, wonder if you have grown taller and handsomer, wonder if you have been wronged in these years…

——The only thing I dare not think about… is that I will never see you again.

One message after another was typed out, only to be quickly deleted by him.Jiang Ran’s character has always been introverted. Except for the words “I miss you” he was forced to say last time, he rarely analyzes his heart to others. No matter how turbulent emotions are, even if they are shocking inside, they are often calm and calm when shown.

In the past, Jiang Jin had to be coaxed and pestered before he would say a few annoying words, but now, it was even more impossible to say these words.

I deleted, deleted, and deleted countless times, but in the end only the sentence at the beginning was left, have you gotten up?

Jiang Ran rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that he was hopeless.

He couldn’t even say anything nice.

Naturally, this message fell into the dust. Jiang Jin had no intention of replying. Who would be interested in chatting with such a dry sentence?

Jiang Ran lowered his eyes, a little frustrated. He subconsciously clicked into Jiang Jin’s circle of friends again. It was really just a casual behavior without any expectations.

But after the page was refreshed, it was no longer blank. Jiang Jin posted a new friend circle, and the date was displayed just five minutes ago.The content is very simple, only eight words.

RJ: Go to the gym and play ball on the weekends.

The location is also shared below.

Turns out he wasn’t blocked…

Jiang Ran opened it and saw that the place was not far from S University and was frequented by the surrounding students.He stared at this content for dozens of seconds without even noticing that the screen went dark.When he came back to his senses, he realized that the corners of his lips were raised slightly.

Jiang Ran felt that his mood was like riding a roller coaster. From disappointment to happiness, it was just a matter of a circle of friends.

The fingertips holding the phone tightened slightly. He couldn’t help but wanted to like the post, but he hesitated for a few seconds and finally didn’t click it. He was afraid that Jiang Jin would really block him after he reacted.

The gymnasium is always busy on weekends. In addition to students, there are also some office workers who come here to exercise and relax and release all the fatigue accumulated during the working day.

When Jiang Ran walked to the entrance of the venue, a thin layer of sweat was already forming on his forehead.The weather was not particularly hot at this time, but he did some impromptu homework today, which delayed him for a while. He hurriedly hurriedly took his time, which made him a little impatient.

Fortunately, there were still many empty seats in the auditorium beside the basketball court. Jiang Ran chose a position where he could clearly see the basket and sat down. As soon as he put the mineral water in his hand on the steps, his eyes fell on the group of boys in the center of the court.

They started quickly, jumped, and shot. They had an unmistakable youthful atmosphere. It didn’t take a guess to know that they were students from a nearby school.

There is a boy wearing a black jersey who is particularly conspicuous. He is tall and has long legs, and his movements are flexible. He is as agile as a leopard when running on the court holding a basketball.

Jiang Ran recognized it as Jiang Jin almost at a glance.

He watched as he bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity, retreated briskly under the double-team of two defenders, and gained some distance. Then he raised his wrist and made a neat three-pointer.

The teammate whistled and praised: “Beautiful.”

Jiang Jin smiled and lifted up the hem of his jersey to wipe away the sweat. A section of his tight abdominal muscles was exposed, and his sweat-soaked skin flashed under the sun, looking plainly sultry.

Someone next to him exclaimed slightly, and Jiang Ran looked sideways. They were two girls in sportswear. Although they were very beautifully dressed, their aura was slightly mature and they didn’t look like students.

Jiang Ran inexplicably remembered what Jiang Jin said to the girl in a short skirt in the alley that day. He said he liked someone older than him.

He frowned slightly and glanced at the two of them again.

At this time, the game on the court was reaching the end of the second quarter. The score between the two teams had reached 33:35, and Jiang Jin was temporarily behind.

Jiang Jin was a little frustrated in this game. The other team defended very closely and especially liked to flank him. They blocked his passing route several times. The three-pointer that just made the sidelines applaud was the second time Jiang Jin forced a breakthrough and scored in three minutes.

He raised his head and glanced at the score. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly glanced at the audience and met Jiang Ran’s gaze.

Jiang Ran wore a white T-shirt today, which was exactly the opposite color to the color of his clothes. This light color always matched him well and made him look colder for no reason.

He is undoubtedly good-looking, and as long as he casually sits on the edge, several eyes are already following him, but he himself is unaware of it, his eyes always falling on the court.

Seeing Jiang Jin looking over, he was slightly startled. Two seconds later, his upturned eyes bent down, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Then, Jiang Ran raised his hand and gave him a simple cheering gesture.

Jiang Jin was stunned for a moment, his Adam’s apple rolled almost imperceptibly, and then his eyelashes lowered and he quickly looked away, his expression as calm as if he didn’t see it at all.

At this moment, his teammate came over and patted him on the shoulder, smiling and saying, “It’s up to you.”

Jiang Jin softly said “Hmm”, and his peripheral vision passed by the audience inadvertently. The white figure was still sitting there, his eyes following him closely.

In the next game, Jiang Jin wiped away the fatigue he had felt before, and his whole body felt as if he had been beaten to death, and he was extremely fierce.Catching the ball, taking off, and making a layup are all a series of actions that are done smoothly and in one go.In just five minutes, he scored six points with sudden shots, catching up the score abruptly, and the situation on the court was instantly reversed.
