Jiang Nuan sat on the edge of the hospital bed, dangling her legs, and biting into an apple, the sound of her chewing echoed softly in the quiet ward.

“Yo… Xiao Nuan! You look so good! Not at all like the rumors outside!”

A sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl, wearing a horn-buckle coat with blue school uniform pants showing underneath, wearing a pom pom hat, stood at the door of the ward, with a plastic bag in her hand.

“DouDou!” Jiang Nuan’s eyes lit up and stretched out her arms. Cheng DouDou also followed with squinted eyes and a smile, trotting in to hug Jiang Nuan, who knew that Jiang Nuan took the plastic bag in her hand and began to rummage through the snacks inside.

“You heartless! Little aunt carried you all the way, not a word of thanks! Our little boat of friendship has turned over!” Chen DouDou jumped to the side of the hospital bed and sat beside Jiang Nuan.

“Our friendship boat is not made of toilet paper, don’t worry!”

The plastic bag contained a large bag of Lang Wei Xian, Prawn Crackers, Lay’s potato chips, and dried bean curd. Jiang Nuan’s eyes were set straight, and her mouth was watering at these junk foods. She has been eating blandly in the hospital these few days, and her mind is full of junk food, so she immediately opened a bag of Lang Wei Xian and put it into her mouth.

“Ai yo! Take it easy! You’re like a starving ghost!”

“Let’s not talk about this! Tell me first, what are the rumors about me outside?” Jiang Nuan said vaguely, twisting open a bottle of Coke, and her chest immediately opened up and refreshed.

Lang Wei Xian and Coke are the kings of life!

“It is said that you fell into the ice hole in the pond in the middle of winter, and when you were rescued, you had a high fever of more than 40 degrees for several days! Your brain was burned out! Your mouth is full of nonsense! You’re not even talking after that! CanCan and I came to see you once, but the doctors wouldn’t let us in, so we simply stared at you through the glass by the door, squeezing our heads together, thinking you were fine, like sleeping……”Chen DouDou whispered into Jiang Nuan’s ear, “The light outside the window shone on your face, guess what it looks like?”

Jiang Nuan always felt that what Chen DouDou said would not be good words. “Like what?” Jiang Nuan lacked imagination for that image.

“The return of the light! My lord!”

Jiang Nuan is almost going to spray Lang Wei Xian’s crumbs on Cheng DouDou’s face.

“And Buddha’s light is shining!”

At this time, a sweet young girl’s voice came from the corridor outside the ward: “Hello, Auntie!”

“Ai ya! CanCan! You’ve come to see Xiao Nuan!”

That was Jiang Nuan’s another little sister, Rao Can.

Jiang Nuan immediately understood that Rao Can’s loud “Hello, Auntie ” was to remind her that the empress dowager was coming, so she should hide what she shouldn’t eat or drink.

Cheng DouDou jumped down, put away the plastic bag, and pushed it under the hospital bed. While Jiang Nuan opened the drawer, found a wet tissue, and quickly wiped her fingers clean.

“Mouth! Jiang Nuan, you still have Lang Wei Xian in the corner of your mouth!” Cheng DouDou snatched the wet tissue from Jiang Nuan’s hand, wiped it hard, and stuffed it into her pocket.

At this moment, Rao Can walked in with a smile, holding Jiang Nuan’s mother Luo Chen’s arm.

Rao Can is tall among the girls in sophomore Class 3 of their high school. She has a good figure. She never wears makeup, but she looks good in any clothes. She can transform the dirty school uniforms into the style of high-end sports brands.

The corners of Rao Can’s eyes are slightly upward, and every time she looks sideways at people, she gives a different kind of feeling. There are many boys in the class who like her. Jiang Nuan and Chen DouDou have given her the nickname “Fairy”.

This nickname given, Jiang Nuan and DouDou, did not have any derogatory meanings. Every time they called her “Fairy”, most of them were acting like spoiled children.

“Oh, DouDou is here too. This way, the three of you are complete. You can whisper your secrets; I’m not going to be your light bulb.” Jiang Nuan’s mother Luo Chen smiled and walked to the door.

Just as Jiang Nuan and Cheng DouDou were about to let out a breath, Luo Chen stopped and said, “Lang Wei Xian, potato chips and others should be eaten less. You’re just getting better from pneumonia.”

DouDou froze and asked in a whisper: “We are flawless! How did Auntie know that you just ate Lang Wei Xian?”

Rao Can gave them a blank look: “As soon as I came in, the air was filled with the smell of Lang Wei Xian!

After saying that, Rao Can in queenly fashion raised her chin, DouDou plopped down, dragged out the snacks under the bed and threw a packet of prawn crackers to Rao Can.

“Xiao Nuan, did you know that when the doctor gave you a critical illness notice, DouDou’s eyes were swollen from crying!  How can you fall into the ice hole!” Rao Can rubbed Jiang Nuan’s head and said, “You say, if our family’s young master is gone, who will bring us the reference books in the future? Who will open the water for us! When bad boys come after us, who will stand up for us?”

Jiang Nuan touched her nose and smiled: “I can’t give up on you guys either.”

“The most important thing is… me and CanCan have terrible senses of direction. Nanshan Cemetery is so big, what if I can’t find your grave if I want to send you Lang Wei Xian! Fortunately, you didn’t drown.” DouDou jokes, but lowering her head, Jiang Nuan didn’t even need to look to know that DouDou’s eyes were red.

“I don’t want to die either! I am now on the left side of the beautiful and indescribable fairy Rao Can, and on the right is the pure, sweet, gentle and kind-hearted Cheng DouDou. How can the blessing of Qi people be given to others?” Jiang Nuan lifted her shoulders and hugged her two best sisters tightly.

“What about Lu Ran? He didn’t come to see you? You have chased him for so long, this time he heroically saved you and carried you to the ambulance, you finally lay into his arms, no follow-up?”

Rao Can have a smile on her face, even Cheng DouDou looked ready to listen to the story.

Jiang Nuan, however, was dumbfounded and looked like she had eaten a fly’s leg.

“What the hell? I’m chasing Lu Ran? The one with the highest standards, stinky farts, the one with no good words in his mouth, Lu Ran?” Jiang Nuan’s eyes were round, completely shocked, “Could it be that you two heard about me? That I can’t remember things clearly for half a year, so you deliberately came to fool me!”

Rao Can and Chen DouDou looked at each other.

“No… You like Lu Ran’s thing, our entire sophomore Class 3…I should say the whole grade, as long as you are not blind, all know…” Cheng DouDou patted her head, “It’s over! It turns out that fever really could give you amnesia!”

Jiang Nuan was dumbfounded, it seems she was the blind person who didn’t know that “Jiang Nuan likes Lu Ran”.

Compared with the knowledge in her first semester of sophomore year that she had forgotten about, her love for Lu Ran… It made her feel that it was not her brain that had a problem, but the world had a problem.

Lu Ran, the guy who can ride a bicycle indifferently pass through the girls’ admiring eyes, and who can face other boys’ provocations and respond to high-profile counterattacks in a low-key manner, and who can answer the questions that stumped the teacher in a coherent manner, the guy with the perfect mouth but a particularly vicious… guy.

“I can’t stand Lu Ran, don’t you know?” Jiang Nuan looked at her two friends, trying to find traces of jokes in their eyes, but… there was none at all.

“I know. But that was before the first year of high school. You really don’t remember?”

Jiang Nuan’s head shook like a rattle.

Rao Can sighed: “Okay, DouDou, come and tell us.”

“Tell what?”

“How our, Xiao Nuan like Lu Ran thing.”

“I…I also don’t know how she likes Lu Ran! She used to wish that the school motto board would fall off and land on Lu Ran’s head. But then, somehow, she bought a bicycle and followed Lu Ran’s ass after school. She even asked Lu Ran to teach her homework after class and she even resented my head being too big at the morning assembly, blocking her from watching Lu Ran raise the flag ……”

Jiang Nuan froze there, even if it was a midnight dream, she swore she had never thought that one day she would like Lu Ran.

It wasn’t scary, it was terrifying.

“Everyone still talked about the rumor that you chose the science class just to continue chasing Lu Ran. Otherwise, with your shabby physical and chemistry grades, the liberal arts is the only way to go!” Cheng DouDou took Lay’s potato chips apart again, munching like watching a super comedy movie, and Jiang Nuan is the tragic heroine.

Jiang Nuan has never been interested in idol stars. At an ignorant age in middle school, when everyone was madly infatuated with Meteor Garden, she found it difficult to understand. In her eyes, Meteor Garden is a typical example of being named and criticized by the principal at the morning assembly every day and then being expelled from the school.

In high school, when the girls were crazy about the new superstar, Jiang Nuan was reading martial arts novels under the table, admiring a tough guy like Qiao Feng, and disliking Duan Yu, who was so incapable, relying on luck and his pretty face. Always surrounded by Second-Generation Rich women.

At the end of the first final exam, the female classmates around her often discussed South Korea’s Oppa to Lu Ran, and Jiang Nuan found it even more difficult to understand. Whether you like Meteor Garden or Nicholas Tse or Jay Chou, at least these people are far away and have room for fantasy. But Lu Ran…isn’t he born to make girls’ fantasies shattered?

It is undeniable that Lu Ran is very good-looking. In their second year of high school and even in the entire middle school, he has an outstanding temperament. But he really can achieve the instant kill effect by opening his mouth, and never leaving any crumbs for his opponent. And Jiang Nuan was often scolded by him.

For example, Jiang Nuan just entered middle school, and she was given out her school uniform and tried it on while standing in front of the mirror.

Damn Lu Ran said coolly with his hands in his pocket, “Don’t look at it, the mirror will crack.”

Another example, Jiang Nuan’s father asked Lu Ran to teach Jiang Nuan chemistry, and Lu Ran looked at Jiang Nuan’s chemistry paper, summed up: “I found that you can’t do the same thing.”

“Really?” At that time, Jiang Nuan felt that her chemistry was saved.

Who knew that Lu Ran would say: “It’s just ‘this will not happen, that will not happen’.”

The knee was hit by an arrow and cracked to the point of never being able to get up again.

For another example, after the mid-term exam of the last semester of high school, Lu Ran followed his father to Jiang Nuan’s house for dinner. Jiang Nuan’s father shook Lu Ran’s hand sincerely and said, “Please help my Xiao Nuan, I’ve enrolled her in many cram classes, but why can’t this girl’s grades go up?”

Who knew that when Jiang Nuan’s father and Lu Ran’s father went to the balcony to smoke and chat, Lu Ran took away Jiang Nuan’s coke and gave her a sentence: “For you, it’s better to mix with kindergarten.”

You say, how can she like such a person? Even if her brain was broken, and filled with steel and concrete, she couldn’t possibly like Lu Ran!

“You guys must be playing a trick on me.” Jiang Nuan looked at Cheng DouDou with great resistance.

DouDou, however, divinely mended her sword and said, “It’s still written inside your blog — you are a white swan, I can’t bear to eat swan meat, just share a feather with me.”

The flesh is so numb that goosebumps fall all over the place!

Jiang Nuan immediately retorted: “I don’t believe it!”

What a white swan, and how humble to say, “just share a feather with me,” is not the defiant manner in which she defies all “girly hearts”!

Nima's feathers are not IQ, so what’s the use of giving them to her? Is it possible to collect a piece every day and make a goose quilt for the winter!?

“If you don’t believe us, go home and read it on the computer.” Rao Can looked like she was waiting to slap her face.

“But compared to this… the head teacher heard that you lost a lot of memory because of your high fever, so he told your parents that he wanted you to consider whether to follow the senior year next semester… or to repeat.” Cheng DouDou pursed her lips and said, “But I don’t want you to repeat the class, I want you to go to college with us.”

Yes…that’s the point. But she really forgot the knowledge points of the second year of high school.

She opened the winter vacation workbook two days ago, and it looked familiar, but sadly responded to Lu Ran’s words, “This will not happen, that will not happen.”

“What did the doctor say? I don’t think you’ve been burned to stupidity! You still recognize us, don’t you?”

“Alas, I have done so many tests, the doctor said that my logic and memory should be fine… The lost memory, maybe one day I will suddenly remember it, but… If I don’t remember, I just don’t. Anyway, you two are the most important to me, I remember you two just fine.”

“There is another option, that is to give up Science and go to Liberal arts class. This way you can focus on picking up mathematics, otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear physical and chemistry.” Rao Can said.

“Put aside the matter of Lu Ran first, this matter is the most deadly ah.” Jiang Nuan kicked her legs and fell backward, as if giving up the treatment.

How could she have chosen the science class? Was it really because of Lu Ran?

But in her short life of more than ten years, she was definitely not the kind of person who would change her choice just for a boy, let alone a big event like the liberal arts and science class that concerned the college entrance exam.

After struggling for half a minute, Jiang Nuan asked Rao Can pitifully: “CanCan—Fairy—do I really have to repeat the grade…”

“Even if you repeat the grade, the first-year knows that you like Lu Ran ah. If you want to avoid the fact that you have pursued Lu Ran, you just have to cover your ears and steal the bell.” Rao Can smiled and lay back with Jiang Nuan, made a bird-like form to lean on Jiang Nuan’s side.

Cheng DouDou also followed to lie down, the three girls close together, lying together.

“But it doesn’t matter, anyway, everyone in the school knows that you have a problem with your brain. If you don’t want to like Lu Ran anymore, you just have an excuse for your change of heart.”

When did having a problem with your brain become a good thing? And if there is a problem with the brain, isn’t it a mental disability? What do you mean by “change of heart”? She clearly did not have a “heart” for Lu Ran!

Rao Chan’s words …… did not comfort her, okay.

As soon as she gets to school… ah no, when she gets home, she has to meet Lu Ran.

Before middle school, Jiang Nuan and Lu Ran were not familiar with each other. She just heard from her parents how a child named Lu Ran was smart and excellent, and he also inherited the fencing skills of his parents.

Jiang Nuan was unhappy at that time. Isn’t that the bad mentality of your parents who always feel that “other people’s children are better than your own”?

Every time the name “Lu Ran” emerged, Jiang Nuan quickly hummed the nunchaku, hum hum ha ha in her heart.

Lu Ran’s family, however, moved upstairs to Jiang Nuan in his third year of middle school. There were more interactions because the two parents were already acquainted. Jiang Nuan had to admit that she was astonished when she first spotted Lu Ran in the elevator and gave him three more seconds of her attention. Later, this guy was so obnoxious that Jiang Nuan regretted wasting those three seconds of her life

She could hardly imagine that when she went home from the hospital, in case she saw Lu Ran in the elevator, what kind of expression this guy would show and what kind of words he would say to make her lose her seventh sense.

“What a pity, your grades improved quite fast last semester, and you’re all in the middle.” Cheng DouDou said.

“No way. With my lousy math and chemistry?”

“Because you have a powerful plug-in!” Rao Can replied with a smile, “Why don’t you take advantage of the fact that there are still two weeks left for the winter break to end, you should hurry up and let your plug in re-enhance you.”

“Plug-in? What plug-in?”

“Lu Ran. Didn’t you pester Lu Ran to teach you mathematics and chemistry?
