Chapter 5 I'm Allergic to Perfume
Chapter 5 I'm Allergic to Perfume
Fatty Sun was shocked by Lin Ran's indifferent attitude.
Is this still the same good brother who always revolves around Ye Shixuan?
"Ran-ge, you've been chasing him for so long, you can't let it all go to waste! If you don't try harder, that kid Gong Yu will beat you to it."
Lin Ran remained noncommittal.
When it comes to feelings, there's never a first-come, first-served rule.
All that talk about cultivating feelings is bullshit.
If you really hit it off, you only need to meet for the first time and exchange a few glances to be together.
If you don't like someone, even if you lick the earth's core to the ground, it won't help.
Moreover, there's no risk of failure at the last minute, and sunk costs cannot be excluded from decision-making. Otherwise, the outcome would be the same as Lin Ran's previous life, a path that only leads to further darkness.
Cutting losses in time is the key.
"I have absolutely no interest in her right now," Lin Ran said.
Fatty Sun shook his head: "Sigh, I understand you, brother. You're just too proud to admit you were rejected, so you're being stubborn. You can lie to yourself, but don't lie to your brother."
"Sigh, you haven't been electrocuted enough."
"What?"
Fatty Sun looked completely bewildered.
Lin Ran couldn't help but think of how Sun Pangzi later fell in love online and met a girl whose grandfather's tea from the tea plantation was not selling well.
Faced with this classic tactic, Fatty Sun was overcome with sympathy and immediately transferred several thousand yuan to the money.
A video message came through, featuring a very beautiful girl who said she wanted Fatty Sun to pick her up for their wedding.
Fatty Sun directly controlled the big head with the small head, and traveled thousands of miles to a remote village on the border. When he woke up again, he was immediately treated with an electric baton.
At this moment, Gong Yu ran into the classroom carrying a cake and milk tea. Sweat mixed with hair oil smeared his forehead and shone brightly on his face, making him look like Zhu Bajie from Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.
"Qianqian, give the cake and milk tea to Shixuan, and yours is in there too."
Gong Yu beckoned to Jiang Qianqian, called her aside, and gave her the things he had bought.
After taking it, Jiang Qianqian snorted in Lin Ran's direction, "Lin Ran, do you see the difference between you and Gong Yu? If you lose to him, it's your own fault!"
Lin Ran looked at Gong Yu with some confusion and said, "Ye Shixuan is sitting right there, why didn't you personally deliver the food you bought to her?"
"You just don't understand!"
Gong Yu, with a profound and unfathomable look, shook his head and said to Lin Ran, "Since you are so eager to learn, I will teach you!"
Personally delivering food to Ye Shixuan is too blatant and suggests an attempt to curry favor, which can be troubling and stressful for a girl!
A true gentleman would have her best friend deliver the food, so Ye Shixuan could enjoy it without feeling pressured. Only a gentleman like that will win a girl's heart! Sigh, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. You still have a lot to learn!
"I've learned a lot."
Lin Ran gave him a thumbs up.
At this moment, the homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang Ci'an, walked into the classroom with a kind smile on his face.
"Students, you've all worked hard these past three years. I wish you all a bright future! May your path be clear and may you often come back to visit your alma mater."
No one had ever seen the stern Old Wang with such a kind side.
The thought that three years had passed so quickly and that everyone would soon be going their separate ways, perhaps never to see each other again, made many classmates feel a lump in their throats and their eyes red.
Lin Ran didn't dwell on the sadness of parting. He opened his phone and searched for marketing accounts on WeChat official accounts.
Then I found an article about liver disease.
[Shocking! These eight signs indicate your liver is in distress! Don't wait until it's too late to regret it!]
Lin Ran clicked in to take a look. As expected of a marketing account, although the content contained scientific evidence, it was described in a particularly terrifying way. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
I simply forwarded it to my teacher's wife.
Old Wang used to tutor students for free, and Lin Ran was one of them. He went to Old Wang's house with him. His wife was a very kind person and would always cook for the students herself.
Moreover, the teacher's wife is very health-conscious, to the point of being somewhat anxious about health. This kind of marketing content is most likely to attract her attention.
【Sorry, Master's wife, I sent this to the wrong person. I was planning to forward it to the family group.】Lin Ran added.
The teacher's wife immediately replied: 【Oh dear! Xiao Ran, you forwarded this so timely! The article describes red palms and spider angiomas—your teacher has all these symptoms! This old man won't listen to advice; when he gets back, I'm going to drag him for a medical checkup!】
Lin Ran: [Your concerns are valid. The teacher is taking us to take a group photo right now, and I noticed that the whites of his eyes are a bit yellow. You should take him to get checked out soon.]
Old Wang died 10 years later, before his illness had progressed to liver cancer. With his teacher's wife taking him for a checkup, Lin Ran was relieved of that burden.
When taking the group photo, Gong Yu quickly took out the hair mousse he had brought from his backpack and sprayed a lot more on his head, making it sparkle in the sun. He arrived next to Ye Shixuan with what he thought was a perfect look.
However, Ye Shixuan walked directly towards Lin Ran in the last row.
Gong Yu was dumbfounded.
Why are you ignoring me today?
Ye Shixuan said with a wronged expression.
Lin Ran frowned. Why did they come all this way?
"Excuse me, I'm allergic to perfume."
Lin Ran moved a few steps to the side, to the very edge of the line, and pulled Fatty Sun to her side, preventing Ye Shixuan from standing next to her.
Ye Shixuan's face flushed red and then turned pale. She had specially sprayed her mother's perfume today and even stood next to Lin Ran, but he looked disgusted.
"Lin Ran, don't even think about me forgiving you!" she said, her eyes red and full of grievance, tears welling up in her eyes.
The students all looked over, surprised that Lin Ran had actually made Ye Shixuan cry.
Gong Yu was secretly delighted. Now that's great, Lin Ran has no chance at all!
"Holy crap, Ran-ge, you actually went to such lengths to fool our buddies! You've really angered Ye Shixuan!"
"I think you're out of power."
……
After the group photo, Lin Ran called on Fatty Sun to help him carry the sack full of documents out of the campus.
Su Peixue was queuing outside Chayan.
She had never had milk tea before, and seeing so many people queuing outside the shop, it must taste really good!
Lin Ran helped me out of a predicament yesterday, treated me to shumai today, and even offered to help me make money. It's only right that I treat him to a cup of milk tea.
When Su Peixue reached the front of the line, she glanced at the price list and was stunned to see that the signature Orchid Latte cost 16 yuan a cup.
I only have 19 yuan left in my pocket.
Su Peixue gritted her teeth, took out all her money, and kept only 3 yuan.
"Hello, I'd like a Yulan Latte."
Three yuan can buy six steamed buns, enough to last me for two days.
