He didn't expect to meet Lin Ran here. Ji Kun's eyes were full of surprise and happiness.

Seeing him, Lin Ran was also surprised.

He smiled and replied: "It's holiday anyway, let's come here to play."

Ji Kun nodded and greeted Chen Yu and the others.

"Long time no see, Chen Yu."

"People with boyfriends are different. We haven't gotten together for a long time, right?"

After all, he was a child, so Chen Yu was not shy in front of him. He had introduced him to Zhou Ming before.

"Hehe, so you should quickly find a girlfriend."

The smile in Ji Kun's eyes deepened: "There's no rush."

He looked at Lin Ran and Lu Qi beside her, and his eyes darkened when he saw that they were wearing the same color Hanfu.

At this time, a call came in.

Ji Kun answered the phone and didn't know what was being said on the other side. He responded, "Okay, I'll go back now."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Kun said: "My mother's natal family is here, so she stays here with them for a while after the Chinese New Year every year. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Chen Yu nodded: "Okay."

Ji Kun smiled and asked Lin Ran: "How long do you plan to stay here?"

He didn't even look at Lu Qi next to him the whole time.

It was as if he couldn't be seen.

Seeing his smiling face and enthusiasm towards Lin Ran, Lu Qi's expression suddenly changed.

"Maybe we can play for a few more days and then go back." Lin Ran confessed.

"Okay, let's get together before we go back. I know there is a very good private restaurant here. I'll treat you."

Ji Kun said enthusiastically.

"You will all come together when the time comes, Chen Yu and Zhou Ming, won't you be disrespectful?"

Only Lu Qi was not asked.

Chen Yu also noticed something was wrong.

Seeing that Lu Qi's face was not good-looking, Ji Kun was his childhood friend after all, so he couldn't just stop him in front of him.

"good."

Ji Kun shook the phone in his hand at Lin Ran: "Then we will contact you via WeChat then."

"good."

Watching Ji Kun's back, Lin Ran withdrew his gaze and looked into the man's deep dark eyes, only to see that his eyes were full of displeasure.

Lin Ran blinked and tilted his head to look at him: "What's wrong?"

"Angry?"

Lu Qi pursed his lips and said lightly: "No."

After saying that, he turned around and walked forward.

Looking at his back, Lin Ran's lips twitched and he said he was not angry, only a ghost would believe it.

Chen Yu came over and said, "Your Professor Lu seems to be jealous."

"Do you want to go and coax him?"

Lin Ran didn't understand: "Isn't it just to say hello? What is there to be jealous of?"

Chen Yu: "Didn't you notice that just now Ji Kun greeted us, but he was the only one who didn't say hello? It was the same at the party. All of us were invited, except Lu Qi."

"And I feel that Ji Kun is already interested in you."

Speaking of this, Lin Ran reacted immediately.

"I see."

"Thank you, Chen Yu."

Lin Ran had to admit that Chen Yu was indeed much more careful and better than her in getting along with her boyfriend.

"It's okay, we are good friends, so there is nothing you can thank you for."

"You'd better think of a way to coax your Professor Lu first."

After saying that, Chen Yu went to find Zhou Ming.

The two were holding hands and taking photos, not to mention how sweet they looked.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Ran quickened his pace to catch up with the man walking alone in front of him, his back looking cold and cold.

Lu Qi was walking very fast at first, but he realized that she didn't catch up. He turned around and saw that she was whispering something to Chen Yu, and his breathing suddenly became short of breath.

You don’t want to coax Chen Yu when you chat with him, do you?

good very good.

Lu Qi pursed his lips tightly, sulking with himself.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded in my ears, and Lin Ran's breathless voice sounded behind me: "Lu Qi, wait for me."

Only now do you know how to chase him?

I thought to myself, but still slowed down a bit.

Lin Ran caught up quickly.

Walking side by side with him, the man didn't look at her, as if he couldn't see her. Looking at his tight jawline, Lin Ran smiled in his eyes.

She reached out and held his hand hanging by her side. Her hand was a little cold, but his hand was very hot.

Trying hard to squeeze her little hand into his palm.

Lin Ran tried his best to speak softly and coquettishly to him: "It's so cold, Lu Qi, please warm my hands."

The girl's coquettish voice reached her ears.

Lu Qi's heart suddenly softened by half. He loosened his tight lips and held her little hand in his palm to warm it.

Although he didn't say anything, just this action made Lin Ran feel warm in his heart.

I took his hand.

Does this count as the first successful step in coaxing him?

Thinking about it, Lin Ran walked quietly side by side with him.

Qiaotou Ancient Alley, River Wharf, walking on these ancient streets, and wearing such clothes, really makes people feel a little bit empty.

Suddenly, Lin Ran smelled a scent, sweet, fragrant, and smelled very good.

She looked up and saw an old woman in front of her, pushing a wooden cart, as if she was selling something.

"Lu Qi, let's go over there and have a look."

Lin Ran said with shining eyes.

Lu Qidao: "Okay."

When I arrived at the old lady’s stall, I saw that they were selling sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in various colors, which looked very beautiful.

The old lady greeted them warmly. Knowing that Lin Ran wanted to eat, Lu Qi bought two pieces.

Orange-yellow osmanthus cake with a fragrant aroma.

Holding the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Lin Ran continued to follow Lu Qi forward.

She took a bite, and the sweet pastry wrapped with glutinous rice immediately entered her mouth. It was just a little hot, and Lin Ran burst into tears.

"It's so hot."

Lu Qi looked distressed and frowned: "Wait for me."

Then he turned around and went to the supermarket not far away to buy two bottles of water. He unscrewed the bottle caps and handed them to her: "Drink some water first."

Lin Ran held it in his hands and took a few sips.

Only then did the burning sensation in his mouth fade away.

Return the water to him: "Thank you."

Lu Qi: "Is your mouth still hot?"

Lin Ran shook his head: "Much better."

Lu Qi then felt relieved: "Let it cool before eating. It will be very hot right after it comes out of the pot."

Seeing his concerned look, Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, listen to Professor Lu."
