They all want to control me!

Chapter 32 Jealousy Grows Stronger?

Jiang Qiaoqiao accepted the hot and sour soup, scanned the code to pay, and took a sip of the soup, which was so hot that she stuck out her tongue.

Then they asked about "Su Lingle".

"That's not something you should be asking."

Lin Ran didn't expect that she would find this girl and even recklessly "pat" her.

"Quickly withdraw the 'pat' message; I don't want to be labeled a mother for no reason."

"Tell me about this Su Lingle, and I'll help you withdraw it."

Jiang Qiaoqiao rested her chin on her hand, a slight smile playing on her lips, and began to threaten, revealing her true nature as a little devil.

"Do whatever you want." Lin Ran was definitely not going to be threatened.

It's just about finding a mother figure; it's not a big deal, but it's not insignificant either. A while ago, I was playing games with my former roommate Wang Jiahao and I also found a mother figure with a double-digit number of digits. It doesn't really matter.

My dear mother, your son has found you a god-sister.

Jiang Qiaoqiao sensed the distance in his tone and suddenly panicked: "Okay, just kidding, I'll take it back right away."

She was afraid that Lin Ran would distance himself from her.

Of course, she also had a self-consistent reason to convince herself—in order to restore the health of her legs, she could not ruin her working relationship with Lin Ran.

After withdrawing, Jiang Qiaoqiao asked cautiously:

Are you still angry? I apologize, I'm sorry.

Lin Ran sensed something was wrong: "Qiaozi, when did you become so obedient?"

"Isn't it good to be obedient? Isn't that exactly the kind of obedient girl you like, like Tao Zhiyao?"

Why are you reacting so strongly?

"...Nothing, I was just excited."

Lin Ran felt a little strange.

After Jiang Qiaoqiao's outburst just now, I feel like I'm the one who's wrong. Could this also be part of her scheme?

The two remained silent after that.

Jiang Qiaoqiao ate grilled cold noodles and slurped down hot and sour soup, trying flavors she had never tasted before.

Lin Ran thought for a moment, then took the initiative to speak and break the deadlock:

"You want to know about Su Lingle?"

"think!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao almost blurted it out, her curiosity evident in her words. Then, realizing it was unladylike, she coughed twice and said in a pretentious manner:

"Actually, I don't really want to listen, but I can be your confidante. I'm here to listen to your troubles anytime."

"You're only a year older than me and you're just pretending to be ignorant."

Lin Ran made a sarcastic remark, then continued, "Su Lingle was my deskmate in junior high. After the high school entrance exam, she went to high school in the provincial capital because of her parents' job changes. We used to be so close that we were sworn brothers, vowing to be best buddies for life, but she ran away on her own, so I nicknamed her 'Little Traitor' in my contacts."

"And then?" Jiang Qiaoqiao asked curiously about his past.

"That's it, that's it," Lin Ran said. "I was hot-blooded at the time and felt that she had betrayed me, but I've let it go now. There are many things in this world that are beyond our control, and we have no choice but to accept them."

"Are you two still in contact?" Jiang Qiaoqiao's heart raced after she asked this question.

"You can see for yourself by looking at the chat history," Lin Ran said helplessly. "I feel like you're becoming a bit dependent on me now, wanting to know everything from me."

"cut."

Jiang Qiaoqiao reopened her phone and tapped on the profile picture of a girl wearing a baseball cap.

The last time we chatted was on New Year's Eve. The other person sent a "Happy New Year" message, and Lin Ran also sent a "Happy New Year" message. Then that was it, and we didn't contact each other for a whole year.

Jiang Qiaoqiao felt relieved.

Although Lin Ran's past has been investigated, it's impossible to find out about such private matters as making friends unless the person himself says so.

She can control Lin Ran's body and deal with outsiders for a short time, but as time goes on, it's hard not to reveal her flaws.

Tao Zhiyao, that naive girl, is easy to fool. But if a childhood sweetheart suddenly appears, the situation will be different. She's not confident that she can perfectly portray "Lin Ran".

Even if they knew that Su Lingle and Lin Ran had a special relationship, it wouldn't matter. It would just mean putting in more effort to play the role of "Lin Ran".

Controlling her body is the last resort. As long as she can still control Lin Ran's body, she will remain a special girl to Lin Ran. That's her confidence.

After eating grilled cold noodles and drinking hot and sour soup, Jiang Qiaoqiao controlled Lin Ran's body to return to the rented room.

I took a shower and practiced guitar; before I knew it, it was midnight.

Lin Ran regained control of her body, tidied up the bedroom, lay down on the bed, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

He remembered some things from his childhood.

On a cloudy day after the high school entrance exam, the boy spent all his pocket money to treat the girl to a farewell dinner.

The two agreed on a time and place.

The boy waited from dawn until dusk, when the girl finally sent a message saying she had boarded the high-speed train to the provincial capital, without giving a reason for breaking their promise.

After that, they basically lost contact, but the boy could often see the girl online, with titles such as "Angel-Kissed Voice," "The Most Unapproachable Little Princess in the Entertainment Industry," and "Past Star."

Regret gradually fades with the passage of time.

Parting is inevitable during student years.

He and his close friends from high school made a pact to stay in touch and play games online after the college entrance exam. However, as they settled into their own lives and integrated into their new university circles, they lost touch with each other and sometimes didn't even exchange messages for a month.

At the time, Lin Ran felt that Su Lingle's breaking her promise and betraying him was a huge deal, but in the long run, it was just an insignificant ripple in her life.

After all, whose youth is without farewells?

…………

on Tuesday.

I still exercised with Tao Zhiyao this morning.

There were two classes in the morning, only one of which was a professional course, so the pressure was low. Lin Ran used Jiang Qiaoqiao to control her body and take the class in her place, while she thought about how to publish the first song on the "Sea Fish" account.

During the second general education class, Lin Ran and Jiang Qiaoqiao had a general discussion.

The most popular format is a combination of video and song.

Lin Ran was in charge of venue and personnel communication.

Jiang Qiaoqiao provided the money and equipment.

"What about the female lead?" Jiang Qiaoqiao asked a crucial question, "We need a female lead for the video."

Lin Ran said, "I want to cast Tao Zhiyao as the female lead, without showing her face. I don't think she'll refuse."

Jiang Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable: "It's a song about the two of us, yet you're making her the female lead?"

"If you can get out of your big villa, I can let you be the leading lady."

"If I can get out, I won't ask about the female lead..."

Jiang Qiaoqiao felt that "Haiyu" was an account exclusively for the two of them, and now that another girl was going to interfere, it felt like she was being forced to share her favorite toy with someone else, which made her unhappy.

Lin Ran said, "What if I just randomly grab a girl on the playground and say, 'Hey, handsome, I'd like to film a love song video with you,' until one of them agrees? Do you think that works?"

This is the skylight effect. At first, many people disagree with opening the skylight, but if you say you want to kick down the door, most people will choose to open the skylight.

Compared to the unfamiliar woman, Jiang Qiaoqiao suddenly felt that Tao Zhiyao was not bad, but she felt a little uncomfortable because Lin Ran had cleverly gotten her to agree.

"I have no objections..."

"It's good that you have no objections."

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the money and equipment would come from Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was a major shareholder. If something happened to her, the filming would definitely not go smoothly.

"I know the president of the photography club. They're going to participate in a national photography competition soon and they're short on materials. I'll try to get them to help with the shooting."

"Is the club president male or female?" Jiang Qiaoqiao suddenly asked.

Without even thinking, she asked instinctively.

"Woman... no, why are you so concerned about gender?"

Lin Ran suddenly felt a sense of immorality, as if he had done something shameful, for no apparent reason.

I'm a good man of the 21st century!

Jiang Qiaoqiao said quietly, "Tao Zhiyao, Su Lingle, and now there's another president of the photography club. You're really popular with girls... I, a friendless cripple, am so envious."

"..."

Lin Ran's sense of immorality intensified.

Wait, could this be... Jiang Qiaoqiao's scheme to make me feel guilty and thus overwhelm me with her aura?

Qiaozi, I'm opening my heart to you, and you're playing tricks on me. What about the love between us?
