They all want to control me!

Chapter 44 First Meeting

[Teamwork +5]

[Compatibility with Jiang Qiaoqiao: 46]

Damn system, you call this thing "chemistry"? I'd say "affection" is more like it.

I increased Jiang Qiaoqiao's affection for me to test if I could improve our compatibility, and it actually worked!

Just kidding, there's still a certain unspoken understanding between us.

Lin Ran removed the "smiling" mask, sat alone in the lounge, and checked the system panel.

He already knew that Jiang Qiaoqiao had guessed the seduction plan and had run away in advance.

Jiang Qiaoqiao guessed his thoughts and made an emergency retreat. He also had Xiao Nan block the car door in advance.

This might be the reason for the increase in synergy.

ding dong~

Xiao Nan: Ran-ge, this Cullinan is worth over six million dollars. I couldn't buy it even if I sold myself. Are you sure that what we're doing won't anger Jiang Qiaoqiao, and she'll wipe us all out and throw us into the sea to feed the sharks? I saw it clearly just now; the aunt next to her had her hand on her waist, probably reaching for a gun! That's how it's portrayed in spy movies!

Lin Ran: Don't worry, Jiang Qiaoqiao won't kill me, I'm confident.

Xiao Nan: What about me?

Lin Ran: Probably, maybe, perhaps, no... right?

Xiao Nan: Damn! I risked my life to flag down a car for you, you have to treat me to KFC today, Thursday!

Lin Ran: OK!

By the way, treating someone to KFC feels so familiar.

Something similar seems to have happened last Thursday.

Lin Ran thought to himself, if this were published in a 7 o'clock online novel, it would definitely be criticized by readers as being a low-quality piece of writing.

Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~ Ding-er-xiang, ding-dong~

Lin Ran answered the phone.

Xiao Nan's urgent voice came through: "It's bad, Ran-ge! She spotted me, glanced at me like she wanted to kill me, and then went back to school with the nanny! Should I chase after her?"

"No need to chase them. I know where they'll go. You just keep watch over the Cullinan."

Lin Ran hung up the phone, stood up and stretched, her neck and shoulders making creaking sounds.

…………

"Given Lin Ran's personality, now that he's discovered me, he'll definitely cut off my escape route."

"Teaching Building A1..."

"On the left, the middle one of the three buildings is Building A."

Jiang Qiaoqiao had been there countless times and knew the place intimately, so she pointed out the direction directly.

Aunt Zhao looked at her in surprise: "Qiaoqiao knows so much about the school?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao had already prepared an explanation: "I had a video call with Lin Ran and saw the entire school's layout."

Aunt Zhao didn't suspect anything and pushed the wheelchair to Building A.

Although wheelchairs are intelligent, they are still not as fast or safe as being pushed by a human.

When they had walked halfway across the playground, Jiang Qiaoqiao said:

"Aunt Zhao, once you enter the teaching building, head south and exit through the small door."

"Huh? Why?"

"Senior Gao Yan has spotted me and is calling Lin Ran. Aunt Zhao, don't turn around, pretend you haven't noticed."

"..."

Following Jiang Qiaoqiao's instructions, Aunt Zhao entered the teaching building and left through a small door, taking advantage of a blind spot in the surveillance cameras.

"Let's go to the auditorium. The Hanfu Club and Lin Ran's performance is the last one. We walked around outside for a bit. The meeting in the auditorium should be over by now. The most dangerous place is also the safest place."

"What if the little boy guesses you'll go back to the lecture hall?"

"He'll definitely guess it," Jiang Qiaoqiao said. "He'll also guess that I guessed his thoughts, and that he won't go to the lecture hall, so I'm here in the lecture hall now."

"Would a typical boy think about things this complicatedly?" Aunt Zhao was skeptical.

"He has more tricks up his sleeve than I do." At this point, Jiang Qiaoqiao turned around and said, "Aunt Zhao, you need to be careful. He's shameless and has no bottom line. He's capable of anything. He might bribe you to spy on me."

"I only do things that are good for Qiaoqiao," Aunt Zhao said with a smile.

If someone can come up with things like "giving gifts and publicly recognizing a godmother," what else wouldn't they do?

Even if you gave Jiang Qiaoqiao a million brainstorming ideas, she still couldn't come up with a way to "recognize relatives".

A divine being.

One of the elevator surveillance cameras in Building A was broken, so Jiang Qiaoqiao directed Aunt Zhao to push the wheelchair in.

The elevator slowly ascended.

Jiang Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief; she was safe now.

Ding--!

The elevator reached the top floor.

Aunt Zhao pushed the wheelchair out.

The two strolled leisurely toward the lecture hall; there was no need to rush now.

"Aunt Zhao, push me to the window."

"it is good."

Jiang Qiaoqiao looked down through the window.

The student council president, Gao Yan, Da Niu and Er Niu, Tao Zhiyao, Wang Hui, Xiao Nan, and an unfamiliar girl wearing black-rimmed glasses gathered in the center of the playground, seemingly discussing something. After a dozen seconds, they dispersed.

Jiang Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, controlled her wheelchair, and entered the lecture hall.

Everyone has left; only the cleaning lady is left cleaning.

Her tense heart relaxed slightly, she let out a long sigh, leaned back in her chair, rested her chin on her hand, and smiled:

"Lin Ran, I won."

The perpetrator will return to the crime scene, and Jiang Qiaoqiao will also return to the place where she started. Now, she feels unparalleled pleasure, breathes easily, and trembles all over.

Just as she was peacefully enjoying her victory, a warm, large hand gently rested on her shoulder.

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice said with a smile:

"Got you?"

"How...how could this be?"

Jiang Qiaoqiao's body stiffened instantly.

This is not reasonable.

Just now, that group of people were looking for me everywhere, not knowing my exact whereabouts or why Lin Ran would appear in the lecture hall.

"Come on, turn around and let me see your face."

Lin Ran could only see Jiang Qiaoqiao's profile from his angle, but even so, she was stunning enough, with a fair face, a straight nose, and rosy lips slightly parted in surprise.

If you look closely, you can see a layer of fine, soft down on her earlobes and neck, where the skin gradually turns light red. Further down, you can see her collarbone exposed by the V-neck knitwear, which adds an allure to her innocent look.

As for her figure, that depends on who she's compared to. Lin Ran felt Tao Zhiyao could obediently leave the stage; the difference wasn't just one or two levels, it was like the gap between hills and peaks. Her long skirt covered her legs, only revealing her ankles, which her low-cut shoes couldn't quite cover, along with her white lace-trimmed socks.

Lin Ran reached out and removed the cat ear hair clip from the side of her hair, fiddled with it in his hand for a few moments, and said with interest:

"I didn't realize you had such a girlish heart."

"..."

Why aren't you saying anything?

"……run!"

The girl in the wheelchair suddenly stood up and took a step forward. She didn't want to be captured and wanted to struggle a little longer.

Lin Ran reacted faster than her, reaching out to grab her arm and pulling her back.

Jiang Qiaoqiao's legs were not healthy after all, and when Lin Ran pulled her, she lost her strength and crashed into his solid chest.

The familiar scent filled her nostrils. She had smelled it countless times, but this was the first time she had smelled and felt it with her own body, and a sour and itchy feeling welled up in her heart.

At this moment, Jiang Qiaoqiao realized that she couldn't escape, so she could only raise her head and look Lin Ran in the eye.

This was the first time the two had met in real life.
