Chapter 778 Are You Really From the Countryside?

Zhang Ran didn't hear the footsteps behind him. He turned around and glanced at her. He immediately understood what was going on, but pretended to be confused: "What's wrong? Are you cold because you're wearing too little?"

As the weather got colder, everyone else put on sweaters or thick coats, with two layers of base clothing, but Tian Baozhu was still wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt and washed-out jeans. She had frostbite on her earlobes and hands.

Tian Baozhu was so shy that she could only let the misunderstanding continue, "...it is indeed a bit cold today."

After entering the house and looking at the antique decoration inside, Tian Baozhu became even more nervous and uneasy. She usually got along well with Zhang Ran, and thought that they got along so well because they were both from the countryside.

It was not until this moment that she truly felt the gap between herself and Zhang Ran.

She was a country girl from a remote area, while Zhang Ran was a real rich girl.

"Ran Ran, are you really from the countryside?" She remembered very clearly that in the dormitory, she and Zhang Ran were the only ones from the countryside.

"How could this be false?" Zhang Ran noticed her discomfort and motioned for her to sit on the sofa. "When I was young, my family was so poor that we only had to use kerosene lamps, not even electric lights. It was only in the past two years that we got rich thanks to a windfall."

After confirming that Zhang Ran had not deceived her, Tian Baozhu felt a little better and sat down uncomfortably. She watched Zhang Ran enter the room with his backpack, and when he came out, the backpack was gone.

Zhang Ran walked over to sit next to her and glanced at the fruit plate on the coffee table. "Why don't you eat?"

Tian Baozhu asked quietly: "Is the handsome guy who sent the fruit just now your brother?"

"No, his name is Xiao Zhang, and he's the cook my family hired."

"Oh." Tian Baozhu ate the fruit in silence and stopped talking. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Let me make a phone call to confirm if my aunt is at home." Zhang Ran took out his cell phone and dialed a number in front of her.

Looking at the phone in her hand, Tian Baozhu lowered her head even more. How could ordinary people afford a mobile phone?

After Luo Youdi sold her RV in S City, she bought a new house and car in Beijing. Zhang Ran has not been there yet, but he is said to be nearby.

"Aunt, where are you now?"

"I didn't go out today and waited for you at home. I'm coming to see you now."

Zhang Ran hung up the phone and looked at Tian Baozhu: "My aunt will be here to pick us up soon. How about you try tutoring the child for an hour today?"

"Ah?" Tian Baozhu was a little puzzled: "Is her house far from here? If it's close, we can just walk there ourselves." It doesn't make sense to let the elders come and pick her up in person.

Zhang Ran explained: "My aunt just bought a house, and I don't know where her house is."

"Oh, okay." Tian Baozhu was very envious when she heard that. She wondered when she could save enough money to buy a house in Beijing and bring the person over.

Luo Youdi came soon. She looked at Tian Baozhu enthusiastically and said, "Xiaoyue has already told me that you are Tian Baozhu, right? I will take you to my home to meet my daughter."

Xiaoyue? Tian Baozhu was a little confused and subconsciously looked at Zhang Ran.

"My nickname is Xiaoyue." Zhang Ran explained and pulled her out.

Luo Youdi bought a large bungalow with a yard, which was more than enough for mother and daughter to live in.

Originally, there were flowers and plants planted in the yard, but Luo Youdi cleared half of them and left the other half for growing vegetables.

Seeing that there were vegetables planted in the yard, Tian Baozhu was no longer so nervous.

"Sister Xiaoyue!"

Xiaoying couldn't wait to run out of the house to greet him. She hugged Zhang Ran's arm, but stretched her neck to look at Tian Baozhu, "You are Sister Baozhu, right? Mom told me that I will study hard with you in the future." After her mother came back from S City, she took her with her wherever she went, fearing that she would disappear again. She saw it with her own eyes and kept it in mind. She couldn't let her mother suffer so much anymore. She wanted to go back to school as soon as possible and return to a normal life.

Tian Baozhu didn't expect her to be so well-behaved and fell in love with her at first sight.
