Campus Rebirth

Chapter 235 Active
"Xiao Jiu, you have become more and more mysterious recently. I have been here many times and I can't find you. It is even harder to see than the president of the country. Come, come, tell sister, what have you been doing? See our house Is there a small word, like that wilted flower, don't mention how depressed it is."

Lin Ran was wearing a light green ruffled dress dotted with black pearls of different sizes in a patchwork pattern, her hair was tied into a butterfly braid that is now popular, sitting quietly in the living room drinking tea, she looked dignified and elegant. Elegant, but she just looks like a lady. When she saw Ai Jiujiu from a distance, she ran over, lashed out at her accusations and complaints, and even more were still fighting for Kong Ci. She still looked like a lady, but This makes her more lively.

But Lin Ran didn't care about these things at first, the image and so on are trivial matters, the small Ci is the big one, she even forgot why she came to find Xiaojiu, when she saw Xiaoci's lonely appearance, she lost her temper instantly I was irritable. Originally, the little guy was autistic, and Xiao Jiu was always in retreat. Is it really important to accompany my younger brother to practice?Such a big house is not even popular, the little guy doesn’t even have anyone to talk to all day long, what’s the point of being a part-time worker, they have no common topic, and it’s not her that Xiaoci needs, he just wants to cling to Xiaojiu That's all.

"If you want to be like this, what's the difference between adopting and not adopting and those scumbags? It's not that I speak badly, but it's really that you didn't do it properly!"

"..."

Before he could speak, he was blocked by Lin Ran, who was speechless, and touched his nose silently. Ai Jiujiu raised his head and saw Kong Ci sitting alone in the garden gazebo assembling things in the background. That figure was indeed a bit lonely , and I don't know if it's a psychological effect, I always feel that the little guy's white shirt looks a little empty, and he looks thinner, and I don't know if he has eaten well recently...

Well, well, she admits that what Lin Ran said is correct, she is indeed a little negligent, recently, apart from going to the mountain to help Jiang Jing see a doctor, she almost spends her time retreating and practicing, and almost has no time for the little one. Words, even the previous walks after dinner are saved.

What's more, Kong Ci is really her younger brother, who is related by blood, unlike Lin Ran who only knows about the relationship of adoption. Kong Ci's depression proves her dereliction of duty.

"Miss Lin, Miss Lin, is it alright if I'm wrong? Don't be irritable. I will pay attention to adjustments in the future. You are not here just for the sake of small words, is it because of the Lin family's business or yourself... ?”

"Ah, that's right, I forgot the business, Xiaojiu will go shopping with me, and give me some advice by the way, my grandpa is going to pass his birthday soon, and you know that after what happened last time, the two elders were so weak that they made up for each other. I can’t make up for it. One year later, my uncle wants to hold a big event, celebrate it, and be filial. They used to treat me badly, but they have been good recently. I have always been soft-hearted, so I can’t see it Birth, old age, sickness and death, not to mention that they are like this now, it is already a big concession for the bottom line, I should also express my heart, so that everyone is good, my mother doesn't care about her own affairs, but she can't see it. Others bully me and my brother, she will not hold grudges because of the friction between her grandma and her forced divorce, but she will be angry because they treat our brothers and sisters badly, and now this family is like this. To some extent, I can let go of a little resentment. Although I said that the relationship is broken, the superficial relationship is not too rigid. The two old people are not in good health. My parents are not the kind of heartless people. They have decided to stay in the old house to wait for illness. I waited until the end of the year to return to Linhai, and I want them to be more comfortable in this home after staying for half a year."

Lin Ran let out a long sigh. She used to think that the people in the old house were very hateful, but now she felt that they were very pitiful. The contradiction in her heart, after all, she couldn't help herself, and couldn't change her worry-loving temperament. This birthday banquet just happened to ease the relationship between everyone, so she cared about the gift.

"By the way, I'll give you the invitation card. You must come when the time comes!"

"Okay, I will definitely go, but obviously you have to worry about the gift, I really can't help you with this."

Ai Jiujiu accepted the invitation with a smile. Looking at the date on it, it was only less than a week away. No wonder Lin Ran was so anxious about the gift that she came here to ask her for advice. Very inexperienced, okay... I have never specially prepared a birthday gift for anyone in my memory. The only thing she remembers is the emperor's uncle who has everything, so she cooked a bowl of birthday noodles for him on his birthday. Uncle Huang is already very happy, born in such a family with no family affection at all, Ai Jiujiu really doesn't know what gifts should be given to relatives.

"Oh, Xiaojiu is so smart, don't leave me alone. I asked you to help me out because I really had no idea. You can't leave me alone."

"..."

Ai Jiujiu smiled wryly, "It's fine for you to embarrass yourself, but also to embarrass me by running here. How do I know what to give? Aren't you torturing me? I've never been good at this kind of thing!"

"Why are you tossing, aren't we friends? Shouldn't you help your friends if they are in trouble!"

Lin Ran is very familiar with Ai Jiujiu now, and she doesn't know what politeness is at all. She also knows that although Xiao Jiu looks cold, she is actually the softest in her heart. Just watching her help the Lin family through the crisis It can be seen how kind-hearted she is, so Xiao Jiu will definitely not bother with her about small things like choosing gifts~

Lin Ran thought well, Ai Jiujiu never regarded her as an outsider, and quite enjoyed the feeling of being needed by her friends. You must know that these were things she never had in her previous life. Lin Ran was a friend she could trust. Otherwise, when she was so busy, the first thing she thought of was to ask Lin Ran to take care of Kong Ci for her, and when she asked Lin Ran to take care of Kong Ci, she had never been polite to Lin Ran.

"If you want me to make an idea, you have to tell me your grandfather's preferences. It's good to have a general direction!"

Ai Jiujiu was already planning to help, so it was certain to go out. She lowered her head and glanced at the silk exercise uniform on her body. Just as she came out of the space, Lin Ran found it. She thought she was in a hurry, so she didn't care to change it It's okay to see friends when you come out, but you can't watch it when you go out, so she has to go back to the room to change clothes, so she called Lin Ran to chat with her and walked to her room.

Lin Ran scratched her head irritably, she couldn't control her strength well, and the neat braid almost caused her to unravel. When she realized that the hair had slipped to the front and back of her forehead, she quickly combed it back with her fingers and fastened it back with a clip. , thinking while following behind Ai Jiujiu.

"I really don't know about this. My grandma is okay. The more expensive and shiny things are, the more she loves them. My grandfather has a hard time with the crow's hobby. As the head of the family, he has always had a paralyzed face." , the number of times I have seen him since I was a child is limited, let alone talking, I just say hello. In the past, he only had Jiang Bailu in his eyes, and he liked everything Jiang Bailu gave him, and he didn't see anything special. What is his preference? Before the accident happened, he was very difficult to guess. After the accident, he didn't know what he was thinking. I was so bored in the room, and basically couldn’t see him except eating. The only change was that when he saw me, he would care about a few words. For example, yesterday, he actually asked me when the school started, knowing that I would not go to school. Finally, I asked my uncle to say hello to the school, he must give me a better dormitory, tsk tsk, alas, I was wrong when I said it, anyway, his attitude towards me has changed a lot now, Let me give you this gift, I can't live without the snacks."

Ai Jiujiu looked back at Lin Ran and knew that what she said was true, so she guided her to think in other ways.

"If you think about it carefully, what is the most important thing in your grandpa's room? The most important thing in a person's living environment is the bedroom. It is easy to see a person's preferences from his living environment. He doesn't like to talk about it, but some actions You can always spot the heresy, you just don't have the intention, with your intelligence, as long as you are serious, you will definitely be able to find it."

With a bitter face, Lin Ran puffed out her cheeks and nodded.

"Well, let me think about it... I usually don't pay much attention to it. When you say that, I really think of something. It's not his room. There is nothing superfluous in his room, but his study. I remember that there were several ancient museum shelves inside, and I can’t remember what was on them. I went in once when I was a child, but I was reprimanded when I entered the door. I haven’t entered since then, and I occasionally go back to the old house. , Passing by once, I heard grandpa scolding the servant, as if he had beaten his bottle... It was the first time I saw him get so angry. I remember that servant was fired that day, but That was all a few years ago, and I haven't encountered this incident since then, if you don't mention it, I will almost forget it."

"Bingo, that's it, antique shelves and the like, your grandpa likes antiques, otherwise how could he get angry over ordinary bottles, it's better to have a guess than to have no direction, even if you guess wrong, it doesn't matter , The antiques are also completely sold, just this, I will change clothes, and I will go to the antique street with you later, by the way, I will bring Xiaoci by the way, I haven’t taken him out for a long time, today is just right, buy gifts to relax That’s right, well, that’s it.”

Ai Jiujiu happily went into the room to change clothes, leaving Lin Ran who was locked outside the door alone, wondering why Xiao Jiu suddenly became excited, there was always a feeling that Xiao Jiu was more anxious than her to go to Antique Street ... Is she thinking too much?
In fact, it’s not that Lin Ran was thinking too much, it’s because Ai Jiujiu suddenly remembered the spirit gathering array that he hadn’t set up until now, and wanted to go to the Antique Street to dig out some ancient jades that have been baptized by the ages, so he was so active of.
