Almost no one in the ancient village knew that Li Ran was deeply in love with Zhuge Yaomei.
Back then, Li Ran came to Dongyang County for begging. He was hungry and fainted at the gate of the city because of the cold and hunger. The old patriarch Zhuge Zhou went into the city to sell mountain products and found him when he came back. He felt compassion for him and took him back to the ancient village.
, since then, he has stayed in the ancient village, when he was only six years old.
After he regained consciousness, the old patriarch Zhuge Zhou inquired and found out that the child's parents had died at the hands of bandits, and he was the only one left. He had been wandering around, and finally reached Dongyang County, where he met him after he fainted from hunger.
To the kind-hearted old patriarch.
Seeing that the child was a poor man, Zhuge Zhou discussed with some old guys in charge in the village and left him behind.
Later, the old patriarch Zhuge Zhou saw that the child was smart and talented, so he adopted him as his adopted son, began to teach him skills, and treated him like his own son. Li Ran also treated him as his biological father. This righteousness
The relationship between father and son is very good.
Zhuge Yaomei is two years younger than Li Ran, but she has a boyish personality and has been hanging out with a group of boys in the village since she was a child. She is especially familiar with Li Ran. The two of them often make mischief and make trouble in the village.
Later, when Zhuge Yaomei grew up, she no longer hung out with those boys all day long, but Li Ran still cared about him and was her best friend.
Unfortunately, the careless Zhuge Yaomei didn't know that in Li Ran's heart, a plant called love had already taken root and sprouted, growing out its first tender leaves.
Because he deeply liked Zhuge Yaomei, when he saw her throwing herself into Zheng Xiao's arms, Li Ran's eyesight went dark and he almost fell to the ground. He shook his head hurriedly to regain his balance.
Continue to pay attention to the development of the situation.
When Zhuge Zhou said those words, Li Ran was completely disappointed. He didn't expect that his adoptive father, who was so close to him, didn't understand his heart at all and actually betrothed Yaomei to Zheng Xiao. This was really disappointing.
He couldn't accept it anymore.
So when Zhuge Hong asked him to go drinking, Li Ran refused because he was afraid that he would lose control after drinking and say something bad or do something bad.
I originally wanted to have some quiet time, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Yaomei and Bailing chose this place to wash their clothes, and they also washed Zheng Xiao's clothes.
Hiding behind the stone, Li Ran clenched his fists subconsciously. He bit his lips to keep himself from making a sound, and continued to lie there, wanting to hear what they had to say.
The two men lowered their heads to wash clothes. The clear stream water was being stirred by the two people, making a gurgling sound. The sound of the conversation mixed with the two people reached Li Ran's ears.
"I said Yaomei, Captain Zheng is back, are you happy this time?" Bai Ling's voice was like a string of silver bells, which sounded particularly clear.
Zhuge Yaomei sighed while rinsing her clothes, "Yes, I finally came back safely, and the stone in my heart fell to the ground."
"Gee, you are so courageous. You dare to do that in front of so many people." Zhuge Yaomei's amazing move seemed to be heard, and Bai Ling laughed even more happily. She teased Zhuge Yaomei.
Zhuge Yaomei chuckled, wrinkled her delicate nose, and snorted, "I don't know what happened. I was so excited at the time, and then -" At this point, her face turned red again.
, I couldn't help but lower my head.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Li Ran's face behind the stone.
After Bailing finished washing a piece of clothing, she straightened up and banged it hard a few times. She seemed to remember something, so she continued to ask, "Yes, brother Li Ran is also very good to you, isn't he? What do you think of him?"
"
Hearing Bai Ling mention him, Li Ran suddenly became nervous. He held his breath and listened carefully, wanting to hear Yaomei's attitude towards him.
Hearing what Bai Ling said, Zhuge Yaomei was obviously stunned for a moment. She seemed to be thinking about the question Bai Ling said. After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "Brother Li Ran, I have always regarded him as my biological brother.
."
Brother——, these three words were like a blow, hitting Li Ran's head hard, making him dizzy, stars flying in front of his eyes, and he almost fell down.
"It turns out that I have always been a biological brother in Yaomei's heart." Li Ran smiled miserably. He realized that he was really stupid, and he actually liked someone stupidly. Isn't this being sentimental? "You are so close to me.
Just because I am a good brother, not someone she likes."
Li Ran was in a state of confusion. He stretched his body irritably, but accidentally stepped on a stone and kicked it into the stream, making a popping sound.
Although this sound was slight, Zhuge Yaomei and Bai Ling were both martial arts practitioners since childhood, so they were immediately alarmed and couldn't help shouting, "Who is there?"
There was silence behind the stone, and no response could be heard.
Zhuge Yaomei shook off the unfinished clothes in her hands and pulled out a pistol from her waist. She and Bai Ling rushed towards the stone with extremely swift movements.
Pressing down on the stone with one arm, Zhuge Yaomei jumped behind the stone, raised the pistol in her hand and shouted, "Don't move."
However, there was no one in front of him, and no one could be seen. This made Zhuge Yaomei wonder, "What's going on? Did I hear wrongly?"
At this time, Bai Ling also walked around the stone with her gun. She patrolled around for a long time, but found nothing, so she said, "There is no one. Did we hear wrongly?"
"Maybe it was the squirrels that made the noise. Okay, let's go back." Although Zhuge Yaomei had doubts, she didn't find anything, so she had to find an excuse to go back and continue washing clothes.
After the two people finished washing their clothes and turned around to leave, a section of reeds in the stream behind the stone swayed slightly, and then a human head emerged from the stream. It was Li Ran.
Li Ranzhen stretched out his hand to wipe the stream water from his face. Li Ran was a little scared: if he hadn't suddenly thought out of his wits and hid in the stream, he would have been caught by Zhuge Yaomei and Bai Ling. That would have been embarrassing.
Walking from the stream to the shore, Li Ran wrung out the water stains in his clothes, then sat down again, leaning against the stone in a daze.
He was wondering why Zhuge Yaomei didn't like him but liked Zheng Xiao. Is it because he saved the lives of people in the ancient village?
"Zheng Xiao, just wait, one day I will surpass you and become the most outstanding man in Guandong Mountain." Li Ran's eyes flashed with cold light, and he slapped a pine cone that fell on the stone to pieces, "
By then, Yaomei will definitely fall in love with me."
With a goal in mind, Li Ran stopped staying here. He left the stream and walked towards his residence.
The clothes on his body were soaked by the stream water. He had to go back and change clothes first!
