They all want to control me!

Chapter 96: Crying and Fighting, It's All a Mess

Lin Ran was distracted for a moment when she saw the two girls slap each other.

They used to just bicker, but now it's escalated to the point of physical violence, so we can't ignore it anymore.

Lin Ran quickly went over to stop it.

But before he got close, he saw Jiang Qiaoqiao and Su Lingle suddenly hug each other and cry.

"???"

If Lin Ran had a mirror right now, she would definitely see how many question marks were on her head.

What's going on?

They became friends after a fight?

Then I go?

"One slap, isn't that enough?"

"Jiang Qiaoqiao, you make it sound so easy, I'll reluctantly forgive you... But you just slapped me again."

"There's nothing I can do about it, your face just looks like it deserves a beating."

"Oh."

"hehe."

The two women hugged.

After they separated, one crossed his arms and looked out the window, while the other took out his phone to take a picture of his slapped face.

Su Lingle discovered Lin Ran:

"What are you standing there for? Come here."

"..." Lin Ran walked over, looked at the two women, each with a handprint on their face, and twitched the corner of his mouth. "What happened to you two...?"

Su Lingle said, "Jiang Qiaoqiao pulled me over and told me to slap her as an apology and to make up for almost forcing myself on me yesterday. I slapped her, and she thought the slap was too hard, so she slapped me again—indeed, I was venting my personal anger. Now we're even."

"...You two are invincible."

Lin Ran guessed that Jiang Qiaoqiao dragged Su Lingle to a less crowded place to apologize, but she didn't expect her to be so ruthless to herself, letting the other party slap her.

He didn't expect Su Lingle to actually slap him. The sound was several times louder than the slap Jiang Qiaoqiao made, and it sounded painful.

It turns out that it's not just boys who like to solve problems with violence; girls do the same.

Clearly, even if the problem is resolved, the two women are unlikely to reconcile like boys who have fought.

The Cold War is still ongoing.

Lin Ran glanced at them both, then decided to focus on Jiang Qiaoqiao first and walked up to her.

One side of her cheek was visibly red and swollen, her eyes were moist, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

The moment Jiang Qiaoqiao saw Lin Ran, two lines of tears welled up in her red eyes and dripped down her cheeks to her chest.

She pressed her head against Lin Ran's chest and cried silently.

This was the first time Jiang Qiaoqiao had been hit, and even though she had let Su Lingle hit her willingly, it had a great impact on her. Shame, grievance, and guilt all mixed together, and she burst into tears.

"Hey, Jiang Qiaoqiao, you're too cunning! You're not the only one who got beaten up. Me too... I'm not as fragile as you, this pampered young lady!"

Su Lingle spoke confidently at first, but her voice gradually softened towards the end, her tone became tearful, her eyes glistened with tears, and she pressed her trembling lips tightly together, determined not to let the tears fall.

Everyone is their parents' darling at home. Su Lingle had never been hit, let alone slapped. A sense of grievance welled up from her chest.

Lin Ran patted Jiang Qiaoqiao, who was lying on her chest, to comfort her that everything was alright, and then waved helplessly at Su Lingle.

"Come on, don't hold it in."

"I don't!"

"hurry up……"

Lin Ran's tone became more forceful.

Su Lingle pouted, raised her arm, wiped her eyes, shuffled over step by step, grabbed his sleeve, turned her back, and whispered:

"Just for a little while..."

"..."

Lin Ran was too lazy to say anything, so he simply pulled her into his arms, one on each side.

"Hey, you carried me here, it wasn't because I wanted to cry here... I... I was... I was... by that wicked woman Jiang Qiaoqiao..."

"You're the bad one!"

"What?! You're still being stubborn at a time like this?!"

"It's because you insisted on living with Lin Ran that I got angry with you. I arranged a place for you, but you wouldn't move in!"

"Where I live is none of your business. You're being too nosy!"

"shameless……"

"Jiang Qiaoqiao, we just made up, don't make me cause trouble for you again!"

It's hard to hold back.

Lin Ran sighed and tilted his head back slightly.

He was too naive before, harboring the illusion that the two women could get along peacefully.

Now it seems impossible.

Two strong-willed people have no other way to get along peacefully except through conflict and compromise.

Crying and arguing at the same time—only Jiang Qiaoqiao and Su Lingle could pull off something so abstract.

Ding--!

The elevator doors opened.

The cinema was upstairs, and most of the people coming down were parents who were taking their children to the movies during the holidays. When they saw Lin Ran holding two crying girls, they quickly reached out to cover their children's eyes.

"Mommy, why is the older brother carrying the two older sisters?"

"Shh, don't talk. They're having a baby. You must never do that, it's immoral."

God creates children?

Lin Ran laughed in exasperation. "Madam, if you continue to teach the children like this, I'll have to personally teach you about physiology."

We must not pass on incorrect knowledge to future generations.

As the crowd grew, Lin Ran put his arm around two girls and headed to the stairwell next door.

It's shameful to embarrass yourself at home, not in public.

"Hello, junior, what a coincidence." Just as I stepped into the stairwell, a calm female voice came from upstairs.

"?"

No, there are other experts?

Lin Ran raised her head.

At the corner of the stairs, Ruan Xue sat on the step with her laptop on her knees. She pushed up her glasses that shone with a white light, nodded, and then lowered her head to type rapidly.

Senior, you take your novel writing too seriously!

"Shameful..."

Jiang Qiaoqiao gently pinched the soft flesh on Lin Ran's waist.

She stopped crying, but she still dared not leave Lin Ran's chest, afraid of being seen, feeling shy.

At times like this, Su Lingle is surprisingly strong. She pushes Lin Ran away and wipes her tears with both arms, smearing her light makeup.

"Jiang Qiaoqiao, you bad woman, you're so useless! *sigh*"

She made a face and stuck out her tongue.

"You're the useless one!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao looked up, her pretty little face pitifully crying, her eyes bloodshot. She pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears, smoothed her soft hair, and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

However, she kept one arm around Lin Ran's arm, asserting her dominance.

Su Lingle hummed twice and looked up at Ruan Xue.

She had seen Ruan Xue while controlling Lin Ran's body, but this was their first meeting in real life, so she greeted her:

"Hello, I'm Su Lingle. Lin Ran and I are childhood friends. Are you his classmate?"

"Computer science major, Ruan Xue," Ruan Xue said without looking up. She was currently bursting with inspiration, her hands never stopping on the keyboard.

"Did you arrange this meeting?"

Given Su Lingle's precedent, Jiang Qiaoqiao first suspected Lin Ran.

"...No, it was a chance encounter." Lin Ran had a bad feeling.

The two girls stopped arguing and subtly turned their attention to him.

His suspicions were correct. Jiang Qiaoqiao and Su Lingle exchanged a glance, then both turned their gazes to his face, simultaneously extending their hands and saying:

Give me your phone.

I want to see your phone.

"Check the chat history!" the two women said in unison.
