Chapter 125 Sudden Chaos
Cheng Ning followed her mother and cousin to the supermarket in the county town to buy things they would need for tomorrow.
Wearing headphones and listening to Lu Ran's voice, she looked for the things her mother wanted her to buy in the food section while talking to Lu Ran.
"You are a person!"
Lu Ran's laughter came through the headphones.
"Yes, my parents each have their own things to do at home, so my job is to buy things."
Cheng Ning said weakly, "Oh, then you should be careful when you're alone."
"Haha, you're worried about a grown man like me? You've forgotten, I train every day. Even three or five ordinary big men can't get close to me."
Cheng Ning found it rather strange.
"Three and a half! You can't use adjectives like that with people."
"Uh, I was just trying to make you laugh!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ning realized that she had not understood Lu Ran's meaning. In the past, she had always thought that Lu Ran was silly and too straightforward.
But now it seems I'm not much better off myself.
"sorry."
"Here we go again. Sorry, it was your comma, wasn't it!"
"right···"
Cheng Ning pursed her lips: "Don't be angry!"
"What can I possibly be angry about? Oh well, I'm used to your attitude. By the way, Sanshui County isn't that far from your Dalin County. I really want to come over and pat your head."
Cheng Ning was delighted: "Really?"
"No way! It's not far, but it still takes several hours. A round trip would take half a day. Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve, and I'll be helping my parents prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. I definitely won't have time. You actually believe that?"
Cheng Ning gave a disappointed "Oh".
As they were chatting, Cheng Ning suddenly noticed that things had become very noisy on Lu Ran's end, as if something had happened.
He asked worriedly, "What happened to you? I heard someone shouting 'Call the police!'"
"Oh, it should be fine. It seems like a patient escaped."
"patient?"
"Okay, that's all for now. I still need to buy some things. We'll talk later."
Cheng Ning wanted to say that it would be fine to chat while shopping, which is what she was doing right now, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. She simply said "Oh" and waited for Lu Ran to hang up.
"Hey, Ning-jie, how can you date like this? If you miss your brother-in-law, just tell him directly. If you don't want to hang up, just say, 'Lu Ran, I want to talk to you for a few more hours.' I advise you not to hang up on me whether you're eating, sleeping, or going to the bathroom, or you'll have to bear the consequences."
Wu Xiaomeng appeared beside Cheng Ning without her noticing, and Cheng Ning only noticed her after hanging up the phone.
"Xiao Meng, when did you get here?"
Cheng Ning's face turned red.
Wu Xiaomeng said speechlessly, "I arrived a long time ago. It was because you were so focused on your brother-in-law that you didn't notice me, Sister Ning."
"Also, Ning-jie, why are you blushing? The content of your conversation with your brother-in-law can only be described as bland and tasteless. What's there to be afraid of being overheard?"
"Next time you call your brother-in-law, use the phrases I just taught you, and he won't hang up."
Cheng Ning said softly, "What he dislikes most is being told what to do and having his time planned out. That's definitely not acceptable."
Wu Xiaomeng shrugged: "This is dating, that's a different kind of sister."
"Forget it, Ning-jie, just do it your way. Maybe your brother-in-law will like your style!"
Wu Xiaomeng thought about it for a while and suddenly understood a principle.
What she said seemed to be just her preferred approach, and might not be suitable for others.
Especially with Ning's personality, it's definitely impossible for her to be assertive and flirtatious.
Wu Xiaomeng suddenly looked at Cheng Ning with curiosity.
"Sister Ning, I suddenly thought of a question. Could you answer it for me?"
"What's the problem?"
"Ning, you talk to your brother-in-law on the phone so softly, you get shy even when I overhear you saying the most normal things. So when you kiss in private, is it always your brother-in-law who forces a kiss on you?"
Cheng Ning blushed deeply.
"Xiao Meng, you, you shouldn't talk nonsense."
"Look, you're so shy just from asking me a question. I don't believe you would dare to kiss your brother-in-law on your own initiative, so it must be that he always forces a kiss on you."
"I understand. Someone with your personality, Sister Ning, would definitely enjoy being kissed by someone you like. You might look shy, but you're actually very happy inside and your body is very honest... mmm mmm."
Cheng Ning couldn't stand it anymore and covered her cousin's mouth to stop her from speaking further.
It's like having some little secret you've kept hidden exposed – you feel ashamed, angry, and flustered.

the other side.
Not long ago, Lu Ran walked into a shopping mall while talking on the phone with Cheng Ning.
When he finished shopping and was about to leave, he found the lobby extremely chaotic as soon as he got to the first floor.
Some people screamed, and others shouted for the police to be called.
"Everyone, move back over here. Don't panic or run around."
Led by security, Lu Ran arrived at a corner, and from this angle, he could finally see the cause of the chaos.
It was a long-haired man wearing a hospital gown, holding a fruit knife, confronting several security guards holding shields.
The man grabbed a girl, so the security guards didn't dare to make any moves.
It appears that someone was injured at the scene, as there was some blood on the ground.
"What happened to you? I heard someone shouting 'Call the police!'"
Lu Ran thought for a moment and replied, "Oh, it should be fine. It seems like a patient ran away."
"patient?"
"Okay, that's all for now. I still need to buy some things. We'll talk later."
Lu Ran didn't tell Cheng Ning too much, so as not to worry her.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ran planned to find a safe place to hide, or retreat upstairs. Although there were many people, what if the criminals had a brain fart and chose him? After all, he was wearing a hospital gown, so there was a high probability that they had mental problems.
But now the perpetrator has lost control of his emotions and goes berserk whenever he sees someone running. It is very likely that if he moves, the perpetrator will harm the hostage.
Regardless of whether his conscience would be troubled, he would certainly face legal consequences. At the very least, he couldn't run around unless someone else did, so Lu Ran had no choice but to stay put.
Fortunately, the police arrived at that moment.
The person who called the police said that the perpetrator might have a mental illness, so the police officers arrived quietly without sirens and even changed into security guard uniforms to avoid provoking the perpetrator.
This shows that the uncles are very professional.
However, everyone underestimated the criminals.
This guy looks crazy, but he has sharp eyes and a clear head.
Upon seeing that the security guard in front of him had changed, he immediately brandished a fruit knife and started shouting.
"Get out, all of you get out, or I'll kill you all."
The thug's subsequent behavior made Lu Ran wonder if he was mentally ill.
They took the hostages directly and walked towards a crowded area, so that even if the police wanted to shoot them, they wouldn't have a chance.
"Don't get agitated, we can discuss the conditions calmly."
"I have no conditions. I just want to kill that pair of scumbags. And that pretty boy too, damn it, so what if he's a little good-looking? What do you see in him, you bitch?"
