Chapter 358 Nanke 1 Dream
The green light came on, Jiang Ning stepped on the accelerator and continued driving home.
She secretly made up her mind that after finishing the things at hand, she would take some time to thank Lu Ran properly.
Before I knew it, the car had arrived at my doorstep.
Jiang Ning dragged her heavy steps into the house and collapsed on the sofa as if she had been drained of strength. She closed her eyes tightly and tried to recall everything that happened tonight.
At this moment, a key detail suddenly jumped into her mind - Lu Ran saved her more than once, but she didn't even have time to ask for his contact information!
Jiang Ning sat up from the sofa and hurriedly took out his mobile phone, but as soon as his finger touched the screen, he retracted it.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind and sent a short message to Lu Ran:
"Thank you for your help tonight, I really appreciate it. If you have time, can we meet and talk?"
After the message was successfully sent, Jiang Ning began to wait anxiously for the other party's response.
Every notification sound made her heart beat faster, but as time passed, there was no movement from the phone.
Finally, a familiar ringtone broke the silence, and Jiang Ning grabbed the phone almost as quickly as possible.
Sure enough, it was Lu Ran’s name flashing on the screen.
She took a deep breath and clicked on the new message, which read: "Of course, I'll wait for you at XX restaurant at 7 o'clock tomorrow night."
The moment he saw these words, Jiang Ning's face broke into a bright smile, and his heart was filled with joy.
She knew that this agreement would be a new starting point for their story...
However, before she could even figure out her relationship with Gu Yuan, there was already another layer of puzzling complexity.
For a moment, I couldn't help feeling a little upset, but I decided to face it. Now that things have come to this, I'll just keep moving forward to avoid regrets in the future.
Gu Yuan did not forget to continue sending her messages.
Seeing those cautious and tentative words, Jiang Ning felt uncomfortable. She was a little afraid to face them and didn't know how to deal with them.
She placed her hand on the phone, thinking over and over again about how to reply, but her heart was full of contradictions and entanglements.
These messages were like a double-edged sword, which made her feel warm and frightened at the same time. Every word seemed to be knocking on her fragile heart, making her unable to escape her true feelings.
Jiang Ning sighed and threw her phone aside. She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night view outside with mixed feelings.
The city was brightly lit and bustling with traffic, but at this moment her heart was confused.
She knew that she had to make a choice, whether it was Gu Yuan or Lu Ran, she needed a clear answer.
This decision will affect her future life, and she can't hesitate any longer.
The next evening, Jiang Ning arrived at the agreed restaurant on time.
Lu Ran had been waiting there long ago. When he saw Jiang Ning coming, he stood up to greet him with a smile, which revealed a hint of anticipation and nervousness.
The two sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Jiang Ning mustered up his courage and spoke first:
"Lu Ran, thank you for saving me again. In fact, I've always wanted to ask you, why did you help me like this?" Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with confusion and uneasiness.
Lu Ran was slightly stunned, then looked into Jiang Ning's eyes seriously and said softly:
"Because... I like you. From the first time I saw you, I was attracted by your unique temperament. Every time I see you in danger, my heart will involuntarily tighten. I hope to be able to protect you and prevent you from being hurt again."
His tone was sincere and firm, and there was a gentle light in his eyes.
Jiang Ning was shocked when he heard these words.
She didn't expect Lu Ran to express his feelings for her so directly.
A blush appeared on her face, and she was at a loss for a moment. After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Lu Ran, I am very grateful for your concern and help. But I haven't figured out my relationship issues yet. I need time to think about it."
Her eyes were candid and sincere, hoping that Lu Ran could understand her situation.
Lu Ran nodded to show his understanding.
He said, "It's okay, I can wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I will be here waiting for you. I believe that one day, you will find that I am the one who is really right for you."
His eyes were full of persistence and determination.
Jiang Ning was moved when she heard this. But at the same time, she also felt pressured. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and said to Lu Ran:
"Lu Ran, I appreciate your love, but my current relationship situation is very complicated and I need time to deal with it. I hope you can understand."
Lu Ran nodded, showing his understanding. He gently held Jiang Ning's hand and said:
"I will wait for you, no matter how long it takes."
……
Jiang Ning smiled slightly, feeling a long-lost warmth in his heart.
She knew that Lu Ran was a trustworthy person, but she also knew that she needed time to sort out her thoughts.
This relationship came too sudden for her, and she needs to think carefully about her future direction.
Jiang Ning and Lu Ran kept in touch. They occasionally went out to eat and watch movies together, enjoying each other's company.
Jiang Ning gradually felt Lu Ran's care and concern. He always appeared when she needed him most, giving her support and encouragement.
At the same time, news about Gu Yuan came from time to time.
Although Jiang Ning did not respond, she always paid attention to Gu Yuan's dynamics. She knew that her feelings for Gu Yuan had not completely disappeared, but were suppressed deep in her heart.
As time went by, Jiang Ning began to understand his true thoughts.
She realized that Lu Ran was the one who could make her heart beat. His kindness, courage and perseverance gradually touched her heart.
As for Gu Yuan, it is more of a habit and dependence. She must break away from this dependence in order to form a complete personality and truly break through her old self and grow up again.
Finally making up his mind, Jiang Ning decided to confess his feelings to Lu Ran.
She asked Lu Ran out and prepared to give him a surprise.
When the two met again, Jiang Ning held Lu Ran's hand tightly, looked into his eyes affectionately, and said:
"Lu Ran, after spending some time together, I find that I have fallen in love with you. Are you willing to be my boyfriend?"
Her voice was filled with happiness and anticipation.
After hearing this, Lu Ran showed an ecstatic expression on his face.
He hugged Jiang Ning tightly and said excitedly:
"Of course I do! I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."
The two hugged each other, feeling each other's warmth and love.
