Chapter 38
Jane Shuo giggled.
She leaned closer, opened her mouth, and wrapped the entire black muzzle into her mouth.
"Ahhh." She opened her mouth wide and pointed at the muzzle of the gun: "Ahhh."
It's like the most boring game in my childhood, "ahhhhh" to the rotating electric fan, and then listen to how my voice will be chopped into pieces by the fan.
The hollow gun barrel, like a deep cave, is responding to Jian Shuo's cry.
There was a slight and cold echo, which could not be heard by others, but Ruan Mohan's sensitive ears could hear it.
She pulled the muzzle out of Jian Shuo's mouth and aimed at the target paper again.
Aim, shoot.Aim, shoot.Aim, shoot.
Ten rings of guns and guns.
Finally, Ruan Mohan took off the soundproof earmuffs and put down the gun: "We should go."
Jian Shuo was already bored, so she ran to the counter sometime and bought a pistol-shaped lollipop, and sucked it while leaning against the transparent partition between the target positions.
She smiled and put the lollipop in front of Ruan Mohan: "Would you like to eat it?"
Ruan Mohan opened her hand: "No."
When walking out of the shooting range, Jian Shuo followed Ruan Mohan, jumping every step, like a rabbit.
While jumping up and down, she asked Ruan Mohan, "Why did you shoot the gun all of a sudden?"
Waving the pistol-shaped lollipop in his hand: "Bang bang bang!"
Ruan Mohan had already walked to the parking lot, opened his car door, and glanced at Jian Shuo: "Because, from all levels, the game has been increased."
"Isn't it?"
Jian Shuo didn't know what to think of, a bewitching smile appeared on his face: "Yes."
"Fun, very fun."
Ruan Mohan opened the car door, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
Jian Shuo waved a lollipop behind her and shouted: "Hey, this shooting range is in the suburbs, why don't you give me a ride?"
"I don't even want to come here for online car-hailing! Hey, Ruan Mohan!"
******
The next afternoon, Ruan Mohan came to the shooting range again.
The reception staff was taken aback when they saw her: "Miss, is it you again?"
Then he smiled: "Shooting is fun, isn't it?"
Ruan Mohan nodded, not wanting to talk further.
Shooting doesn't mean much to her.It is interesting to compare shooting opponents.
This shooting range is remote, and there are not many customers. Today, the entire shooting range is even more empty, and there is no one there.This is also the reason why Ruan Mohan chose this place.
clean enough.
She leaned against the transparent partition between the target positions, and unconsciously rubbed her fingers on the cold butt of the gun.The rough non-slip points rub against her soft fingertips.
She remembered the way Jian Shuo aimed at her with a gun yesterday: "Bang!"
"Director Ruan."
An elegant voice reminded Ruan Mohan with a smile.
Ruan Mohan turned his head and greeted lightly: "Mr. Jiang."
In Jiang Kailun's hand, she actually held a pistol-shaped lollipop that Jian Shuo ate yesterday. While eating, she also raised an unopened lollipop and asked Ruan Mohan with a smile, "Do you want to eat?"
Ruan Mohan shook his head.
She thought about it, and Jiang Karen was indeed like this.Wine, food, cigars, sweets.
Jiang Karen does not resist any external material enjoyment.
Jiang Kailun didn't mind Ruan Mohan's refusal, put the lollipop into the windbreaker pocket with a smile, and pointed to the round table next to him: "Sit down for a while."
Ruan Mohan: "Aren't we here to shoot?"
Jiang Kailun: "One shot decides the outcome, it won't be long."
Ruan Mohan was slightly surprised: "One shot?"
Jiang Kailun smiled: "What, are you afraid?"
Ruan Mohan shook his head: "Yes."
The two sat down at the round table.
Jiang Karen looked at her: "Director Ruan seems to talk very little."
Ruan Mohan remained silent, with an indifferent expression.
Jiang Karen smiled, reached out, took out an English pocket book from his pocket, and turned to the slightly creased page.
She ignored Ruan Mohan and started reading on her own.
Ruan Mohan glanced at the cover, it was Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein".
Ruan Mohan remembered that she had watched this movie with Ruan Qingyin, more commonly known as "Frankenstein", it tells about a monster made of stumps, but yearns for companionship, warmth and friendship.
Jiang Kailun looked up at her: "Interested in this novel?"
Ruan Mohan shook his head: "No."
"That's right." Jiang Kailun smiled: "Emotions are the most boring thing in this world."
She read the last page of the book and stood up: "Come on, our contest."
She walked up to the target position, put on sound-proof earmuffs, and didn't even make any preparations. She raised the gun with one hand more casually than Jian Shuo did yesterday, and didn't aim. There was a "bang", and the bullets had already shot out.
On the side, Ruan Mohan, who was also wearing sound-proof earmuffs, looked at the target paper: Ten Rings.
At that moment, what Ruan Mohan thought of was Jiang Kailun's fingers that seemed to have a constant temperature, neither cold nor warm. The reason behind it was that Jiang Kailun had sent every piece of clothing he had for a heat preservation test.
So today, Jiang Kailun can accurately hit the tenth ring with just a random raise of his hand. The only possible reason behind it is that Jiang Kailun knows every muscle of his own, from the force to the direction.
Ruan Mohan felt a chill run down his spine.
Jian Shuo has a flaw.But Jiang Karen didn't.
Jian Shuo is like a charming monster.And Jiang Karen, like an invulnerable inanimate body.
In fact, Ruan Mohan already had a premonition when he first saw Jiang Kailun's photo on the projection screen shown by Jian Ming.
It turns out that there really is such a woman in the world whose rank is higher than her and Jian Shuo combined.
Ginger, Kay, Lun.
Jiang Kailun put down the gun with a smile: "Director Ruan, it's your turn." Ruan Mohan saw her say it with her lips.
Ruan Mohan breathed lightly, raised the pistol and held it with both hands.
Aim with one eye and shoot steadily.
She will not give up the most confident posture just to get angry.
Even if her program is not as perfect as Jiang Karen's, she is still that robot that can control everything.
Ruan Mohan took off his earmuffs and looked at the target paper.
No accident, ten rings.
"Heh." Jiang Kailun said with a smile: "As a novice shooter, Director Ruan has such accuracy, it's amazing."
Ruan Mohan pursed his lips.
"Why do you say I'm a novice shooter?"
Jiang Karen shrugged with a smile, a very British gesture, and did not answer.
Ruan Mohan didn't even know which action or micro-expression of himself exposed the fact that he only touched the gun for the second time.
But it doesn't matter, after all, she also scored a tie, which was a tie with Jiang Kailun.
Jiang Kailun asked her with a smile: "What should I do if there is a tie?"
"Should we implement all the conditions of our bet, or not?"
Ruan Mohan looked at her indifferently: "You knew that we would draw."
Jiang Karen smiled: "I don't know anything."
"You, think about it."
The two came out of the shooting range together, and Jiang Kailun asked Ruan Mohan, "Aren't you in a hurry? I want to take you somewhere."
"Is it far?"
"It's near the shooting range."
Ruan Mohan was a little puzzled, and followed behind Jiang Kailun.
She didn't expect Jiang Karen to take her around to the back of the shooting range.It seems that this place was once intended to be a small park for the guests who came to shoot to take a nap and relax.
Only later, probably because of too little passenger flow and high maintenance costs, gradually, this place was gradually abandoned.
It's spring, but it's still full of dead leaves from last autumn, drained of water by nature, and bits and pieces are piled up under the trees, on the trails, and on the benches beside the trails.
It was like a world beyond.The world is noisy spring, here is lonely autumn.
Ruan Mohan's gaze suddenly froze as he looked at the past, his breathing became slightly disordered.
Jiang Kailun smiled: "Oh, you've already seen it."
Ruan Mohan felt that the sensitivity of Jiang Kailun's ears might not be inferior to his own, and he could also hear the rhythm of people's breathing.
Ruan Mohan breathed calmly, without showing any signs of expression.
Jiang Karen stood still: "Look, your little friend is asleep."
It's Jian Shuo.
Still wearing the bright yellow windbreaker from yesterday and a pair of lemon yellow high heels, curled up on a bench beside the trail and fell asleep.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, her long, thick black hair hung down into the withered yellow leaves. The bright yellow windbreaker and high-heeled shoes on her body almost blended with the withered yellow of the bench field, not eye-catching.
Just following her sleeping breath, a dead leaf on the bench fell to the ground lightly.
Ruan Mohan stared at the fallen dead leaf.
"It's true that she hasn't grown up yet." Ruan Mohan said indifferently, "However, she's not my little friend."
At this time, Ruan Mohan found that Jian Shuo was a light sleeper.
The voice of her talking to Jiang Kailun, like the sound of footsteps, was already very soft, but Jian Shuo on the bench suddenly opened her eyes, turned over, and sat up vigilantly.
Ruan Mohan remembered that he had read a psychological saying: people who have no sense of security in their hearts sleep very lightly.
Jian Shuo was sitting on a bench among a dead leaf, and when she moved, a large piece of the dead leaf under her was crushed, making a rattling sound, like the sound of a butterfly carcass shattering, piercing into Ruan Mohan's eardrum .
Like a lonely world, Jian Shuo is also a dead leaf that has been drained of water.
The expression on Jian Shuo's face was only dazed for a moment, and he soon came to his senses, looking at Ruan Mohan and Jiang Kailun standing side by side from a distance, squinting his eyes.
Even from such a distance, you can still see her pair of jet-black pupils, the background color is cold and nothingness.
Then she smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled up, stood up, and walked towards Ruan Mohan and Jiang Kailun.
"Heh, you're quite courageous." Jiang Kailun's red lips barely moved, and she said such a sentence inaudibly, only Ruan Mohan beside her could hear it.
With such a coquettish and lazy smile, Jian Shuo stood in front of Ruan Mohan and Jiang Kailun, with her hands behind her back.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Kailun was the first to speak with a smile, pointing to Ruan Mohan: "Waiting for her?"
"Since teaching her to shoot here yesterday, have you been waiting here for her?"
Jian Shuo glanced at Ruan Mohan, and found that Ruan Mohan shook his head very subtly.
It wasn't Ruan Mohan who told Jiang Kailun that it was Jian Shuo who taught her how to shoot yesterday.
Jian Shuo twitched the corner of her mouth again: "I'll wait."
She stretched out her fingers, pinched the curly ends of her long black hair, and twisted them around her fingertips: "It's just that this place is fun, like another world outside this world."
Jiang Kailun smiled and said, "Don't children have to go home after dark?"
"Go home?" Jian Shuo said "ha": "What's so interesting about going home."
"I see." Jiang Karen nodded.
"I know who you are." Jian Shuo said suddenly.
Ruan Mohan stared at Jian Shuo's fingers wrapped around the curly hair, the fingertips trembled slightly, very slightly.
I don't know if such trembling will be caught in Jiang Kailun's sable eyes.
But Ruan Mohan thought, since she could tell, it was impossible for Jiang Kailun's eyes to be as sharp as hers.
Sure enough, the next second, Jiang Kailun smiled and asked Jian Shuo: "You are very afraid of me, aren't you?"
******
Jian Shuo snorted, and flicked back the curly hair wrapped around her fingers.
A gust of wind blew up, and Jian Shuo's thick black hair instantly flew backwards with the wind, flying high.
Like a lonely world, a dark flag guides the army of undead to find the way home.
She ignored Jiang Kailun and looked at Ruan Mohan who was standing quietly beside Jiang Kailun.
"Come behind me," she said.
Ruan Mohan stood still, with downcast eyes, looking at Jian Shuo's feet, following her along the way, and crushed a field of dead leaves by her.
Like the body of a butterfly, scattered here and there.
Jian Shuo repeated again: "Come behind me, Ruan Mohan."
Jiang Kailun let out a chuckle beside Ruan Mohan.
She asked Ruan Mohan: "Are you going?"
Ruan Mohan raised his head and met Jian Shuo's dark eyes.
She found that Jian Shuo was not smiling at this time, her dark eyes were heavy, like the feeling of looking at Ruan Mohan yesterday when Ruan Mohan's ears were ringing by the gunshots.
Like an ancient lake, the background cannot be seen at a glance, attracting people to look in again and again.
"Let's go." Ruan Mohan said lightly.
Jian Shuo was taken aback.
In Ruan Mohan's mind, the scene of Jian Shuo covering her ears yesterday was replayed. Jian Shuo didn't smile when he looked at her. Amidst the whirling "buzzing" tinnitus, she could only see Jian Shuo in front of her. Speaking to her with lips:
"Take a deep breath."
"Take a deep breath through your nose."
At this time, Jian Shuo asked her in front of her: "Ruan Mohan, what did you say?"
Ruan Mo said coldly: "Boss Jiang is right, it's always bad for children not to go home at night."
"you……"
Jian Shuo took a step forward, but found that Ruan Mohan had already turned to Jiang Kailun: "Boss Jiang, since we are tied, we should implement the terms of the bet."
Jiang Karen smiled gracefully: "Of course."
Ruan Mohan had already turned around, and walked quietly towards the outside of the abandoned small park.
Jian Shuo looked at her slender back, raised her high heels, and kicked the thick layer of dead leaves on the ground, making a loud rattling sound.
Ruan Mohan didn't look back.
On the contrary, Jiang Kailun was still standing there, and asked Jian Shuo with a smile, "Do you know who I am?"
Jian Shuo still looked at Ruan Mohan's back, and only answered in his mouth: "I know."
"I also know who you are." Jiang Kailun smiled, took a step closer, and tried to pick Jian Shuo's chin with his slender fingers: "Little monster, kid."
Jian Shuo wanted to hide, but unexpectedly, Jiang Kailun moved faster than her, and his fingers still touched Jian Shuo's chin.
After only touching it for a moment, Jian Shuo bounced away like an electric shock, like a furious cat, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he spat viciously at Jiang Kailun.
Jiang Kailun just stood there, smiling gracefully, neither dodging, nor covering up with her bag like Ruan Mohan used to, allowing a little bit of Jian Shuo's spittle to splash on her elegant suit.
"Oh, what a big temper."
"Having a bad temper is not a good thing." She also turned around, about to leave the abandoned park.
"When your temper subsides, you can guess, Director Ruan...which one of us does she need more?"
Jian Shuo shouted behind Jiang Kailun: "You and Ruan Mohan, what bet did you make?"
"Nothing to do with you."
Jiang Karen walked away.
******
Wang Nuo didn't expect that she would see Jian Shuo again in Xiaoyan so soon.
Together with other teachers, she took care of the children to sleep, washed the children's clothes, and came to the classroom by the last person, preparing to reorganize the picture books the children had read to see if there was anything else that needed to be added.
She always laughed at the one who went to bed last.
After turning on the lights in the classroom, she suddenly saw a person lying on the desks arranged in a circle. Wang Nuo was shocked, turned around immediately, and picked up the metal baseball bat behind the door.
Jian Shuo raised her head lazily: "Hey, you don't really think that broken stick is useful?"
Wang Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, and hid the metal baseball bat behind the door.
"What time is it?" Jian Shuo rubbed her eyes and asked.
She really fell asleep just now.
"Eleven o'clock." Wang Nuo asked her, "What are you doing here?"
Jian Shuo only knows Xiaoyan's classroom.The last time I came to sign the funding contract, because all the offices of Xiaoyan were crowded and small, Wang Nuo took her here to sign.
Jian Shuo woke up, and that coquettish and ghostly smile climbed onto her face again: "Hey, glasses girl, do you know your Mo Han, do you have a new boss now?"
Wang Nuo recalled: "Jiang Kailun."
She was also impressed by the elegant and well-proportioned woman in her mid-forties.
Jian Shuo pulled the corners of her mouth into a smile, stood up, and leaned close to Wang Nuo's ear.
Wang Nuo took a step back.
"Are you afraid of me?" Jian Shuo smiled coquettishly.
Wang Nuo saw her move her shoulders, as if her whole body was tense just now, but after realizing that Wang Nuo was afraid of her, she suddenly relaxed.
Wang Nuo thought about it, and felt that Jian Shuo was a bit like Xiaoyan's child.Sometimes Wang Nuo took the children out for social gatherings, and found that some of the children, not only were not moved by the lively and cheerful ordinary children, but languished instead.
You have to wait until you return to Xiaoyan, and return to the familiar and controllable environment, and then you can relax after a while.
It's a bit like Jian Shuo's shoulder movement just now.
Wang Nuo said softly, "No, I'm not afraid of you."
"That's right, it's not me you should be afraid of." Jian Shuo smiled lazily: "Glasses girl, I'm here to give you a tip."
"That woman surnamed Jiang seems to have taken a fancy to your Mo Han."
Wang Nuo was taken aback.
Jian Shuo let out a strange chuckle: "It's over, it's over, your coldness is dangerous."
"You make it clear..."
When Wang Nuo wanted to ask again, he found that Jian Shuo had jumped onto the windowsill nearby, holding two lemon yellow high heels in his hands, like a swift cat.
She turned her head and gave Wang Nuo a charming smile, jumped out through the open window, and disappeared into the vast night.
Wang Nuo was left standing there alone in a daze, only to see the beige curtains hanging by the window, which were blown by the gust of wind from the gap in the window pushed open by Jian Shuo, swinging leisurely.
Wang Nuo felt a little unbelievable.
Ginger Karen?
******
On Monday, when Ruan Mohan was about to leave work, he received a call from Wang Nuo: "In the company?"
"exist."
"I'm also near Lingyin. It's the bookstore last time. I have some picture books that need to be replenished. I'll buy them today." She hesitated for a while: "I'll come to you and cook a meal for Yinyin at your house?"
"it is good."
Ruan Mohan agreed and hung up the phone.
After get off work, Ruan Mohan went to the lobby on the first floor as before, and received Wang Nuo who was standing there with a bag full of vegetables.
The two took the elevator together to the underground parking lot.
Wang Nuo couldn't help but looked around.
"Looking for someone?" Ruan Mohan asked her.
"No." Wang Nuo smiled: "I just suddenly remembered that the last time I walked here with you was very lively."
"I met Jian Shuo first, and then I met your boss named Jiang."
Ruan Mohan remained silent.
"That Mr. Jiang, today...haven't gotten off work yet?"
At this time, there was a burst of "hee hee hee" laughter in the corner, the sound was enchanting, and it sounded even weirder in the dark underground parking lot.
Wang Nuo blushed for a moment, but Ruan Mohan's face was indifferent, and he was not surprised by the laughter.
Jian Shuo walked out from the corner with a smile. She was hiding behind a huge Hummer just now.
She raised her eyebrows and asked Ruan Mohan: "You know I'm here?"
Ruan Mohan was too lazy to speak, and pointed to his nose and ears, which meant that there was the sound of breathing.
Jian Shuo snorted, and when she turned to Wang Nuo, she smiled again: "I'm sorry, glasses lady, I couldn't help laughing."
"The way you test your Mohan, can it be a little bit worse?"
"You told Wang Nuo?" Ruan Mohan asked indifferently.
"Yes." Jian Shuo nodded without hesitation: "I told the glasses girl that your boss has taken a fancy to you."
She was grinning, as if she was talking about something extremely interesting.
Ruan Mohan was expressionless, not surprised at all.
On the side, Wang Nuo's face turned even redder: "You know I came to you because I have something to ask, and going to Book City is just an excuse..."
Ruan Mohan suddenly said: "Yes, Jiang has always taken a fancy to me."
Like Jian Shuo just now, he admitted without hesitation.
Instead, Jian Shuo was taken aback, and Wang Nuo was also taken aback.
Ruan Mohan looked indifferent, as if he was just stating a well-known fact.
Wang Nuo froze in place, but Jian Shuo squinted her eyes like a cat: "Why did she fall in love with you?"
Ruan Mohan: "I don't know either."
An elegant voice came from behind the three of them: "Want to know?"
The three of them turned their heads together, and saw Jiang Karen standing there with a decent smile, wearing a delicate suit and high heels, and carrying a platinum bag.
She smiled and said, "After Director Ruan has visited my house, I think Director Ruan will know the answer."
The words just now were addressed to the three of them, and then she looked at Ruan Mohan alone: "Director Ruan, you haven't decided with me when the terms of our bet last time will be implemented."
Jian Shuo's voice turned cold in an instant: "The condition of your bet with that woman is that you go to her house?"
Ruan Mohan ignored Jian Shuo and just looked at Jiang Kailun.
Her face was calm, Jian Shuo lowered her eyes, and looked at Ruan Mohan's fingers specially.
His fingertips trembled slightly.
Seeing that Ruan Mohan didn't answer, Jiang Kailun didn't force it at all, and said with a smile: "There's no rush, you take your time to think about it."
She said goodbye to the three of them politely: "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
She turned around and walked towards the direction where she parked.
Jian Shuo stared at Jiang Kailun's leaving back, until her back disappeared completely, and then she showed a coquettish smile again, and asked Ruan Mohan, "You don't want her too, do you?"
"Oh, my lady with glasses, you are really dangerous."
Wang Nuo couldn't bear it anymore: "Don't make trouble, okay?"
Jian Shuo played with her hair indifferently, and Ruan Mohan suddenly asked her: "I understand why Wang Nuo came to me. But why are you here today?"
"You won't, you like me?"
Ruan Mohan asked Jian Shuo this question without hesitation, just like admitting that Jiang Kailun had a crush on him just now.
Jian Shuo let out a "ha": "How is it possible?"
The coquettish smile on her face never faded, and the cold and emptiness flashed in her eyes.
Wang Nuo felt a chill down his spine, but Ruan Mohan was unmoved.
She pressed further: "Then what are you doing here?"
As if Jian Shuo had been prepared for a long time, she took out a chicken sausage from the pocket at the bottom of the pomegranate red fluffy dress, and shook it: "I'm here to find my good friend."
"That cat, it's my best friend now."
Ruan Mohan ignored Jian Shuo and turned to ask Wang Nuo, "Are you still cooking at my house?"
Wang Nuo was startled, then nodded, "If possible."
"Let's go then."
Before leaving with Wang Nuo, Ruan Mo gave Jian Shuo a cold look: "You won't follow me home, will you?"
"Like you really like me?"
Jian Shuo shook the chicken sausage in her hand: "I told you, I'm here to find the cat, not you."
"Whoever you go with, whether you go home or not, has nothing to do with me."
"Really?" Ruan Mo said coldly, "That's good."
She opened the door to get into the car, carried Wang Nuo, and drove away.
Jian Shuo was left alone in the underground parking lot, watching Ruan Mohan's roaring away car, with cold eyes, ripped off the wrapping paper of the chicken sausage in his hand, and stuffed the whole sausage into his mouth viciously.
Chew it to pieces.
