"One, two, three ... Nine, ten ..."

Lian Ranranran stepped on the grass with her last foot. Sure enough, a familiar voice came from behind her. "Ranran, you're here!"

Lin Fan ran over from the other entrance of the playground and stood in front of Lian Ranran, smiling like a fool without saying anything.

"Lin Fan, let me ask you something."

Lin Fan had been by Ranran's side for so long, and this was the first time he had seen her so serious as to stand in front of him like an old gentleman and ask questions.

"No matter what Teacher Lian wants to ask, I will answer all of them one by one. Mmm-hmm!"

Lin Fan was still like this. No matter what happened, he would always be like this in front of Lian Ranran, never serious.

When she was angry, he would ride alone on the bike track thousands of miles away to buy her favorite snacks and send them to her to cheer her up.

When she called him when she felt bored in the middle of the night, he would tell her the story of the old monk and the little monk that he had told her thousands of times over the phone. Although he had begun to snore, he simply said, "no, I was just hungry and took a breath of air."

On the day she was rejected by the boy she liked, he immediately ran back from the United States after receiving the call. Without greeting, he appeared in front of her and lent her a shoulder to cry all night, not daring to close his eyes.

Lian Ranran finally realized that the man in front of her had actually done so many things for her, yet she still pretended not to know that she had lived foolishly for such a long time.

He accompanied her on every birthday and sang her a bad birthday song. On the day of the exam, he was the one who gave her tutorial of advanced mathematics every day to make her the best. He was also the one who had been by her side for the days when she lost her mother and had been taking good care of her every day.

"Lin Fan." Lian Ranran now understood what he meant. She was really stupid. "Do you like me?"

The ten steps just now made Lian Ranran figure out a lot of things. If he could appear in front of her within ten steps, it meant that everything was right.

When Lin Fan heard Lian Ranran say the word "like", he stood rooted to the spot, motionless like a wooden man.

She ... actually confessed to me! ! !

If it had been a few days ago, just a few days before he had even entered the hospital, he would have laughed like a fool and hugged Ranran. He would have carried her up and turned her around three times before telling her, "I like you. You don't know that I waited for this day for so many years." Finally, he would bite her lips and pulled her into his arms. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it now.

"Ranran." Lin Fan replied dully, and the smile that had originally spread gradually disappeared. "I ... just treat you as my sister. Don't think too much."

Lian Ranran's heart suddenly felt that something was thrown together. The original happiness suddenly disappeared. The pain caused by her nails deeply into her palm on her back could not be felt, but she could still keep a reluctant smile.

"Ha ha! You are still so innocent. I lied to you. You are my brother, so how can I like you? Hahaha ..."

Her eyes were a little wet. In order not to let Lin Fan see the tears that were about to fall off her face, she ran into his arms and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, taking the opportunity to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

It's no big deal, isn't it just a failed confession?

It wasn't the first time. There would be a second time if there was the first time, so she wouldn't be defeated like this.

Lian Ranran comforted herself and pretended that none of this had happened. Lin Fan was still her best friend.

Lin Fan's hands were stiff behind her, and he did not dare to hug her.

"Du - du - du - du -" The alarm rang throughout the school, making everyone's heart skip a beat.
