Extra Chapter 2 Where Will Ran Ran Return To? Sleeping with His Shadow at Dusk

(An independent extra chapter of Lin Yuxi's parents' meeting, free for everyone to watch.)

[1]

In the afternoon, Lin Yuran dozed off on the table.

She had been in the new school for more than a month, and she liked life here very much because no one was controlling her or lecturing her.

What was the next class?

Oh, this didn't seem to be a question that a bad person like her should consider.

She sighed self-deprecatingly. What did the class have to do with her? It didn't affect her sleep anyway.

"That..." A soft voice came from the side, but Lin Yuran didn't respond at all. She always ignored her new deskmate.

"Sleeping like this and pressing your arms will cause poor blood circulation." The girl's noisy voice came again.

Lin Yuran still didn't look up, and said sarcastically: "If you don't like it, can you lend me your arm?"

It must be said that He Suyi was the person who had been her deskmate for the longest time. In the past, she basically sat alone at a desk. Even if she had a deskmate, she didn't stay for long. She would secretly go to the office to ask the teacher to change seats... After all, few people could stand her.

Lin Yuran didn't think that such people were bad, but was pleased that they had good sense. After all, isn't it a disease to be so eager to get someone's cold butt?

However, He Suyi was such a "sick" person.

This guy is really weird, can he really stand me?

There was no sound beside her, it seemed that the girl had been speechless.

It was a familiar feeling, that's it, I'm going to hate myself, adjust my seat like everyone else, let her stay alone, how nice.

As Lin Yuran was thinking, she suddenly felt a soft touch on her right hand, she subconsciously raised her eyes, and then she noticed the prone sleeping pillow at hand.

"I can't lend you my arm, but I have this, it's quite comfortable to sleep prone, you try it!" He Suyi pushed the pillow over again.

This guy is really enough...

Lin Yuran wanted to ignore her as usual, but he felt strange in his heart, why did she have this?

"My mom bought it. She said it's more comfortable to sleep on her stomach when she's tired at school." He Suyi saw her doubts and smiled embarrassedly.

It turns out that there are parents in this world who really support their children to sleep at school, and they worry that their children will not feel comfortable sleeping at school.

If my family knew that I slept at school, I would definitely be scolded.

Perhaps only such good parents can teach such a good girl... Unlike me, who is not upright.

Lin Yuran glanced at the smiling He Suyi, and took the sleeping pillow for some reason.

She wanted to try what it would feel like to sleep on a pillow full of parental care.

After all, she had never had such a thing.

"Who will come to your parents' meeting?" He Suyi asked in a low voice.

She saw that Lin Yuran accepted her kindness, and thought that this guy's ice had melted a little, so she continued to talk.

But she obviously misjudged it. Lin Yuran lay on the pillow and said nothing.

In fact, she also wanted to know who would come to her parents' meeting?

They wouldn't care about that kind of thing.

After all, Lin Yuran herself knew that she was a disappointing child in every aspect.

She was thinking about it and fell asleep unconsciously. In her dream, she dreamed that her father came to her parent-teacher meeting after a long absence and praised her father...

Then she woke up and was laughed at by her classmates because the teacher asked her to bring a pillow to school during class, so why didn't she bring a quilt.

Lin Yuran looked around at her classmates' gloating smiles, her face was unusually calm. She was used to this kind of thing and numb.

Whether it was ridicule or rolling eyes, she didn't know whether she became like this because of these, or became like this to have these.

Forget it, she didn't care.

But what Lin Yuran didn't expect was that the girl next to her raised her hand and proudly told everyone that the pillow was hers, because it was too comfortable that she overslept, and she was also responsible.

The teacher was a little speechless for a while and could only let the two of them stand in the back row as punishment.

This guy is so stupid. Lin Yuran secretly looked at the girl who was standing with him as punishment. For the first time, she thought she was pretty pleasing to the eye.

[2]

Lin Yuran’s dream seemed to be coming true.

Dad was really going to come to her parents’ meeting. When was the last time he came to her parents’ meeting? It seemed to be in the fourth grade of elementary school. Anyway, it had been a long time.

She only remembered that because she beat up a classmate, her father was criticized by the teacher at the parents’ meeting. Then he never came to her parents’ meeting again...

Although, her father never cared why she fought or whether she fought back, because according to the rules of the Lin family, it was wrong for girls to fight.

But her father could come to her parents’ meeting again this time. Lin Yuran felt uneasy and had an indescribable feeling.

She was not very happy. It was just that her seat would not be empty for the first time at the parents’ meeting. How happy could she be?

She had behaved well recently. She hoped that she would not make her father unhappy again... She thought about it and could not give herself a fair evaluation.

"What do you think of my recent performance?" Lin Yuran pulled the pigtail of her deskmate. This action didn't have any other meaning, but it looked easy to pull.

"Hmm..." He Suyi was stunned for a long time, trying to find a word that was not so hurtful, "It seems, it's okay."

She couldn't find it.

"It shouldn't make dad angry, right?" Lin Yuran seemed to be asking himself again, and also seemed to be asking the girl in front of him.

"My dad is coming to the parent-teacher conference!"

She didn't know why she said this. It seemed to emphasize the authenticity of the matter, or to show off, or maybe He Suyi asked her who would come to the parent-teacher meeting before, and she just answered.

"Will uncle come to the parent-teacher conference? That's great!" He Suyi smiled happily.

Lin Yuran couldn't understand why she was happy.

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm happy for you!"

"oh."

Lin Yuran calmly raised the corners of his mouth, yes, he should be happy!

Really happy, very happy.

[3]

The time for the parent-teacher meeting has been adjusted because the head teacher is temporarily busy.

Adjust from morning to afternoon.

This is the most embarrassing news that Lin Yuran has heard recently...

Because this afternoon is also her sister’s parent-teacher meeting.

But there is only one father, whose parent-teacher meeting will he go to?

Her head seemed to have been shot between the eyebrows, and it instantly went blank. How ridiculous that I actually regarded this question as a multiple-choice question...

"What's wrong with you?" He Suyi saw her instant change, and she felt that the soul of her deskmate had been taken away.

"He won't come..." Lin Yuran was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Is my recent performance really okay?"

"Yes!" He Suyi nodded seriously.

"But he can't see it."

[4]

In the evening, Lin Yuran came home in a daze.

Dad is already here, having made a special trip from Shanghai for the sisters’ parent-teacher conference.

Lin Yuran is a little curious, what is his proportion in it? Will it be 10%?

"Ran Ran is back!" Lin Jincheng glanced at her and said it away. He didn't even care about her answer and continued chatting with Lin Yuxi.

It's not that her father is too cold, after all, Lin Yuran usually wouldn't answer at this time.

"The time of our parent-teacher meeting has been changed." She looked at them quietly, "Tomorrow afternoon."

It seemed that her words had an effect, and the room instantly became quiet. It seemed that whoever spoke first would break the ice and let everyone fall to the bottom of the sea.

"It's okay. Our star students are all outsiders, and the parent-teacher conference doesn't matter." Lin Yuxi was just stunned for a moment, and then spoke with a smile, being the first to break the deadlock.

Lin Yuran heard that her smart and sensible sister deliberately wanted to give herself the opportunity of the parent-teacher conference.

"No need."

She didn't want to be condescended to because it would make her look pitiful.

In the end, they still failed to come up with a proper solution. The parents of the two children would hold meetings at the same time. This was a dilemma.

Lin Yuran felt that there was no need to be entangled, and he could just give up on her without thinking. Anyway, he had gotten used to it for so long.

After thinking about it for a long time, didn't you choose your sister in the end?

Wouldn't it be better to express your preference from the beginning? Why do you have to pretend to treat everyone equally, and then favor the other in everything?

Really boring.

[5]

It was not until noon on the day of the parent-teacher meeting that a decision had to be made on this matter.

Whose parent-teacher meeting will dad go to in the afternoon?

Lin Yuran still had some illusions in her heart, because she was still recalling her performance during this period.

She didn't know what her mood was like now. After all, she was not as smart or as reasonable as her sister.

Although he was prepared to fail, when his father said that he was going to his sister's parent-teacher conference, Lin Yuran still felt that something was broken in his heart.

What a strange feeling...

But it was a feeling she knew all too well.

"Your sister's parent-teacher conference this time is part of the filming of the show. As a guest on the show, someone must attend the parent-teacher conference, otherwise someone may say that she is acting like a big star..."

Listening to his father's comprehensive explanation, Lin Yuran nodded.

Yes, compared to this ordinary and potentially embarrassing parent-teacher conference, my sister's side is more important anyway.

She is not unreasonable, ignorant, or selfish...

But why do you feel so uncomfortable?

Is it because no one has come to your parent-teacher conference for a long time? Or is it because of your recent performance? Or is it because she made an appointment with her deskmate?

"Ran Ran?" Lin Yuxi saw something was wrong with her sister at a glance, "Dad, just listen to me and go to Ran Ran's parent-teacher conference. She..."

"I don't care."

Lin Yuran couldn't help but ran out the door, feeling that her eyes were a little wet.

She didn't know why she was like this or why she said this. In fact, what she wanted to say was "It's okay, I'll have a chance next time", but she said this.

Moreover, running away from home is a bad boy.

Fortunately, she was a bad child to begin with.

[6]

The midsummer noon sun was a bit hot, but Lin Yuran was trotting tirelessly.

She was a little afraid of being caught up...

It wasn't that she was afraid of the punishment of running away from home, but that she didn't know how to face them.

Because she clearly understood that she had done something wrong.

It was always her fault.

95% of parents in the world are partial, and the remaining 5% will not admit it.

Generally speaking, parents favor the younger ones, but in Lin Yuran's case it's just the opposite. After all, her sister is so dazzling.

When did you start feeling inferior to your sister? Maybe it’s because my mother told her that my sister is more beautiful, maybe the sisters who play together in the community like her more, maybe it’s because my sister can jump to level five in rubber band dancing but she’s still stuck at level three...

Why is it that she can be so beautiful and outstanding despite being only two years apart?

Think carefully about her smooth side face, thick long hair, and calm temperament. These innate conditions coupled with the dignified demeanor enhanced by dancing, the mature and steady mind and the girl's agility complement each other.

It's as if she was born just to accompany her sister...

Love comes from comparison, and she has experienced it too many times since she was a child, whether it was her father who was the first to call her sister's name when he came home from get off work, whether it was the dance dishes carefully prepared by her mother for her sister, whether it was grandma's thicker Lucky money, no matter what it is...

She cried and argued many times about this, saying that her parents were partial, but they always said that she was rebellious, selfish, thought too much, and was wrong!

Yes, it was originally my fault.

It's my fault that I have such an excellent sister.

[7]

I can't seem to find her again...

Lin Yuxi had never shed so much sweat while practicing dancing.

It's so hot today, and she can actually run so fast under such a poisonous sun. Is this a talent? The name Ran brings talent.

She and her younger sister were both named by their grandma. My mother said that when she was born, her grandma felt that she was getting old instantly, so she named herself after Xi, which signifies old age and also means to enjoy her life in peace.

When my sister was born, looking at the two little girls, my grandma once again wanted to cultivate the next generation of dance, so she named her Ran.

My mother said that she grabbed the folk dance umbrella when she was catching Zhou Zhou, but she didn’t remember it.

Lin Yuxi only remembered that her sister grabbed her hand when she arrested Zhou...

So she decided to be a sister who protects her sister for the rest of her life!

But she was a failure.

One time she lost her sister when she took her to a dance troupe to practice dancing. That was the first time she couldn't find her sister, just like now.

It wasn't until late at night that Lin Yuxi followed the cry and found her sister from the stage's arrears...

That time, my sister was scratched on the head by a steel piece under the shelf, and she became claustrophobic.

Unable to forgive herself, she quit the dance group and left home.

Although she has always said that she quit the dance troupe because she wanted to find a new path, she can actually try a new direction without quitting.

Who wouldn’t want to have both if they could?

After all, she just couldn't forgive herself.

She seems to have guessed where her sister will go...

[8]

Looking at the clear Huaijiang River in front of him, Lin Yuran felt his whole body calm down.

Since she started to be afraid of claustrophobia, she began to like open places, such as the sea, grassland, or riverside.

This is also the place where Huai Lin wants to come most.

When she thought of this, she recalled the night when she had a bloody head injury, herself trapped in the shelf, and the last voice that heard her name crying in her ears.

That was my sister's voice.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you might have blamed yourself for being playful in the first place. Who would have thought that she would get into a place like that?

She thought of many things again.

In the past, when my parents praised my elder sister for her excellence in front of relatives, my elder sister would always explain for a long time that she was also excellent.

She has always been the best person to herself.

Although she hated Lin Yuxi for taking away her love, she had to admit that she was a good sister.

She has really fulfilled her responsibility as a sister. She will take her shopping, give herself gifts, help her choose clothes, give her styling advice, speak for herself in front of her parents, and not let others bully her.

Lin Yuran could hate his parents' favoritism, but he really couldn't hate this sister.

"slowly!"

Just like before, she heard the familiar shout again, but this time, her sister did not cry.

She turned back and looked at Lin Yuxi not far away.

"I remember you mentioned that you wanted to come to this place." Lin Yuxi looked at her safe sister and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems I remembered it correctly!"

"Only you will remember such boring things!" Lin Yuran looked at the sweat on her face, feeling a little uncomfortable.

It seemed that once again, she worried her sister because of her willfulness.

"Uh..." She wanted to say sorry, but she couldn't speak.

"It's okay!"

Lin Yuxi seemed to notice that she was hesitant to speak, so she came over and patted her shoulder with a smile, "Let's go to your school. I'll hold a parent-teacher meeting for you!"

Lin Yuran was stunned for a moment and looked up at her blankly.

"I'm your parent too!"

"Always."

[tail]

Lin Yuxi was reprimanded because her sister's performance in school was not good.

I dress up in strange clothes, sleep in class, don't do my homework, don't do my duty, and occasionally bully my classmates. How can I perform well?

This is the first time in her life that she has been criticized so earnestly... Who knows that she is here for a parent-teacher conference, as she should be.

The moment she walked out of the classroom, she felt relieved.

Lin Yuran came over and looked at her solemnly, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

"The teacher praised you for your good performance and great progress during this period!" Lin Yuxi smiled, "It's a big loss that Dad didn't come!"

She lied.

Seeing her sister's serious expression, Lin Yuxi really didn't want to break her heart.

"Oh!" Lin Yuran nodded heavily, trying to restrain her smile.

Her deskmate really didn't lie to her.

It was a good start, she had to perform better in the future!

After all, she didn't want to make her sister sad.
