They all want to control me!

Chapter 87 Kiss

The atmosphere seems a bit off.

Su Lingle is very sensitive to the atmosphere around her. Even though it was just a normal dinner for three, there seemed to be a subtle atmosphere floating around the table, and this atmosphere had nothing to do with her!

This last point is the most infuriating!

Thinking of this, Su Lingle kicked the opposite leg under the table.

Lin Ran looked up in bewilderment. What was this guy doing?

Su Lingle puffed out her cheeks and ate her food in silence with her head down.

Forget it, forget it. It's fine if you can't understand my eyes. You could understand them just now, but in the blink of an eye, something happened between you and Tao Zhiyao, and even the last bit of understanding between childhood sweethearts is gone.

She picked up a piece of beef, put it in the rice, and poked it around with the tip of her chopsticks, causing the meat and rice grains to mix unevenly.

In fact, she knew in her heart that something must have happened between Lin Ran and Tao Zhiyao when she made the phone call.

What the hell is it?! I want to know!

After the meal, Tao Zhiyao took the initiative to wash the dishes, and Lin Ran went to help. Su Lingle, who had been a housekeeper for several days, found herself with some free time.

Lying on the sofa playing on her phone, Su Lingle's attention was completely off the screen. She secretly observed the two people in the kitchen out of the corner of her eye; they didn't say a word. It was too strange.

So boring, so frustrating!

I'm looking for fun!

Got it!

Su Lingle smiled, opened Jiang Qiaoqiao's chat interface, sent a Doro emoji, and added the two big characters "Idiot" next to it.

buzz~

Jiang Qiaoqiao: (Thanks, you're an idiot too)

The serious expressions of the Naruto characters, paired with the two large characters for cursing, create a huge contrast that is strangely hilarious.

Su Ling laughed and continued sending out emojis, engaging in a passionate online exchange with Jiang Qiaoqiao.

Come on, let's insult each other!

…………

"How did she suddenly become a net addict?"

Lin Ran saw Su Ling lying on the sofa, kneeling with her butt sticking out, laughing as she rapidly tapped on her phone screen.

Beside her, Tao Zhiyao wiped the water droplets from her hands with a tissue, glanced at the time on her watch, and saw it was 8:30.

"Lin Ran, I have to go. Wang Hui said the dorm supervisor will be checking the dorms tonight."

"I send you."

"Could this...?"

"Why are you being so formal with me? I'm leaving."

Lin Ran naturally took her small hand, opened the security door, and went downstairs.

The residents of the old neighborhood are mostly elderly men and women, so it's very quiet at night, but it's still very noisy outside the neighborhood.

The neighborhood is not far from the school, and Tao Zhiyao is preparing to walk home.

Lin Ran felt completely at ease knowing that she, a girl, was going home alone.

Even if they encounter bad people, it's the other person who's worried about ending up in an ambulance, not Tao Zhiyao.

"Lin Ran...am I being a bit annoying? I'm acting silly while you're cooking..."

Tao Zhiyao had been holding a grudge about this matter, which was why she was so silent during the meal.

She listened to her strategist best friend's advice and went straight to confide her troubles and feelings. Only after calming down did she belatedly realize that something was wrong.

She's completely turned into an annoying online girlfriend!

Tao Zhiyao was both nervous and scared. If Lin Ran nodded now and admitted that she was annoyed, she would really rush out of the community and be too ashamed to face anyone.

Large truck, dangerous!

"Isn't it annoying when you hug me...? Rather than annoying, I prefer you to express yourself more like this," Lin Ran said with a smile, ruffling her head. "Before, you would keep things to yourself and not say anything. Even if I found out, I couldn't help you. That was what bothered me the most."

"..."

Tao Zhiyao suddenly stopped and lowered her head.

The streetlight shone on her, half of her cute little face was in shadow, so her expression was unreadable.

Lin Ran walked over, puzzled, and squatted down in front of her: "Why did you suddenly stop walking?"

Before he could finish speaking, two very strong arms suddenly pulled him into a tight embrace, and a shy whisper escaped his lips:

"Thank you, I like... I like..."

Tao Zhiyao didn't say the last two words aloud. She held them in her throat for a long time before finally expressing her feelings with "heart fluttering".

She gently pressed her lips to Lin Ran's cheek.

The moment the warm, moist sensation arrived, all the sounds around him seemed to disappear. In this small space, there was only him and the blushing girl.

The contact between the lips was very brief, almost a brief touch.

But both of them realized that they seemed to have stepped through a large door standing in front of them and entered a new world.

Tao Zhiyao's mind went blank, and her body acted before her thoughts. After realizing the situation, she felt dizzy and turned to run away.

Lin Ran grabbed her hand and pulled it back.

You kissed me and then ran away; you seem like a scumbag.

"Um, I... didn't... mean..."

Tao Zhiyao is now unable to speak normally, stuttering and her eyes are darting around. She used to be very strong, but now she is easily restrained by Lin Ran.

Lin Ran held her in his arms, gently kissed her forehead, and patted her head while smiling:

"You ran too fast. I didn't even say see you tomorrow."

"Ah, um!"

Tao Zhiyao nodded emphatically, her blushing face looking incredibly cute. "I...I...I was kissed?!"

Ah ah ah ah ah!

This time, Lin Ran let her go. Watching her hurried figure, she almost tripped over her own feet and fell as she left the residential area. He couldn't help but chuckle.

How could I not be happy being with such a lovely girl?

Lin Ran suddenly had a thought, looked up at the apartment building, and then... saw Su Lingle sitting cross-legged by the window with a lollipop in her mouth.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, then Su Lingle got up and left the balcony, while Lin Ran returned to the rented room.

Su Lingle wasn't in the living room or kitchen; she must have gone back to her room. She needs to take a bus tomorrow and definitely needs to rest early.

Lin Ran read for a while, poured himself a glass of warm water and drank it. He then set the control time for the two women for tomorrow: Jiang Qiaoqiao during the day and Su Lingle in the early morning, so as not to delay her from taking the bus.

After everything was finished, Lin Ran lay in bed reading until 23:58 PM.

Suddenly, with a click, the bedroom door opened from the outside.

Su Lingle, wearing only her underwear, walked in carrying a pillow.

Her caramel-colored hair was wet and cascaded down her back, exposing large areas of skin to the light. As she walked, her face gradually turned red, as if she were drunk.

Lin Ran took a sniff and noticed a slight smell of alcohol and shower gel.

"You're really something else. You have a train to catch tomorrow, and you're drinking tonight? Aren't you afraid of being late?"

"Hiccup... The train leaves at 11 a.m., so I'm not worried... Besides, I... I didn't drink much, just three cans of ice-cold beer, and... I took a shower, so I don't smell much..."

Su Lingle collapsed onto the bed, half-drunk and half-awake, her limbs clinging to Lin Ran's body like pincers, skin to skin in close contact. She buried her face in Lin Ran's chest and murmured:

"Let's sleep together tonight."
