Chapter 309: The Best in Daxia?!
Lu Ran rested for two full days before he recovered from his overdrawn body.

That morning happened to be the day when "Tianjiao" announced its results.

With a high score of 149 points, Lu Ran stood out from the crowd and jumped directly from third place in the overall list to the top!
First place on the list of geniuses!
As for the 1 point deduction?
do not know!
Maybe it’s because sleeping is so hated?
In any case, this honor surprised Lu Ran.

It also made his supporters ecstatic, and the atmosphere in major forums was like Chinese New Year.

The young man who was the best in Rainy Alley finally became the true "best in Daxia"!
All 10 judges and teachers who participated in the scoring left comments for Lu Ran, and the shortest one was the most popular.

Just five simple words:
“The best in the world!”

Such comments make people excited and make the fans feel proud.

Regardless of whether this ranking can be maintained after the next two episodes of "Tianjiao", at least for now, Lu Ran is number one on the Tianbang!

For a moment, Lu Ran turned red and purple, and then purple and black.
The official of "Tianjiao" also contacted Lu Ran, hoping that he could cooperate and do an interview program, and then follow the program team to visit schools in some remote areas to bring warmth to the people there and cheer for the believers and students.

In the past, Lu Ran, as a senior high school student, was exempted from many activities.

Now that he has gone to college, the authorities naturally came to find him.

Lu Ran felt that this activity was very meaningful and he really wanted to participate.

The problem is that he is at a critical period of advancement to the Jiang realm and needs to be calm and reflect.

In desperation, Lu Ran explained the situation to the program team leader.

The other party did not make things difficult for him, but just agreed that Lu Ran could participate in the event after he was promoted to Jiang Realm.

No one thought that Lu Ran would be stuck in the fifth stage of River Realm for his entire life like other believers.

As the number one prodigy in Daxia, he could naturally advance at any time!
No one wants to be a sinner of Daxia.

However, "Tianjiao" still hopes that Lu Ran can spare 2 hours to do a simple interview.

Lu Ran couldn't refuse anymore, so he agreed.

As a result, on the 19th day of the lunar calendar, when the country was lifted from lockdown, the crew of Tianjiao rushed to Yuxiang.

Lu Ran attended this interview with Jiang Ruyi, which lasted exactly two hours, no more, no less. The group set off directly back to Beijing, leaving in a clean and efficient manner.

Even Lu Ran was stunned!
If he hadn't signed more than a hundred names, Lu Ran would have really thought that this group of people were too lazy to bother with him.

However, Lu Ran’s good days seemed to be limited to just a few days.

When everything was back on track, Lu Ran fell into the old path of daily failure.

He caught the ray of spiritual light in the realm of rosy clouds, but failed to catch his own.

Sometimes, Lu Ran would reflect on whether he was too impatient.

Even for the most talented first or second class God believers, it is normal to be stuck in the fifth stage of the River Realm for three to five months.

I have been home since the fourth day of August. How many days have I gained enlightenment so far?
With this in mind, Lu Ran calmed himself down, meditated diligently throughout the day, and spent another fifteenth day in Yuxiang City.

On the night of September 15th, Lu Ran was still patrolling with Sun Zhengfang and others.

That night, God opened his eyes and spared the suffering Rain Alley City.

God finally spared Yu Xiang, but not Lu Ran.

He still hasn't found a way to advance.

Jiang Ruyi watched Lu Ran becoming more and more silent day by day, and became more and more worried.

All along, Lu Ran's path to promotion has been too smooth.

At the age of 18, he is ranked first on the summer list. No matter how mature Lu Ran is, he has great ambition.

Now, day after day of praying has been fruitless.

To say he wasn't hurt would be a lie.

The seemingly ordinary days changed a little on the fourth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar.

That day, Lu Ran stayed on the abandoned rooftop by the Wulie River until two in the morning before returning home.

When he returned home, he stood in front of the master bedroom door for a long time.

The bedroom was empty.

There was only her faint fragrance, but no trace of her.

After two months, Lu Ran has become accustomed to the warm meals in the kitchen and the figure sleeping soundly in the master bedroom every time he returns home.

On this day,

The food is still there, but the beauty is gone.

"Ah"

Lu Ran took a deep breath, tilted his body, and leaned against the door frame.

Have I neglected her?
seems like it.

Been neglected for a long time.

I come back later and later every day.

When she woke up in the morning, she had already prepared breakfast and left, returning to the Jiang family to worship the gods.

Every day, the two of them seemed to have few words to say to each other.

There were even a few days when I got so stuck in a rut that I didn't come home all night.

Maybe she has been dissatisfied for a long time.

Lu Ran looked at the empty bed silently for a long time. Then he found his cell phone and checked WeChat.

The last time the two chatted on the phone was a long, long time ago.

I checked the time, it was about two in the morning.
Lu Ran hesitated for a moment, but put away his phone.

After going to the kitchen for a midnight snack, Lu Ran returned to the master bedroom and fell asleep.

On weekdays, he only slept four or five hours, and sometimes he would quietly go out before Ruyi woke up.

Advancing to the Jiang realm has become Lu Ran's obsession.

Today, Lu Ran slept soundly and never woke up.
Dusk.

Jiang Ruyi opened the door and walked in. When she closed the door, she saw the shoes under the shoe rack on the side.

She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Bang." The door closed with a sound neither loud nor soft.

Jiang Ruyi came back to her senses and her heart tightened.

She took off her leather boots, walked quietly into the house without wearing slippers.

As expected, Lu Ran was seen lying on the bed in the master bedroom. "You're back." Lu Ran said softly.

"Did I wake you up?" Jiang Ruyi said softly and walked in.

Lu Ran was sleepy and was speechless for a moment when he saw Jiang Ruyi coming to his bedside.

She was wearing a dark long trench coat and a dark red knitted scarf, looking elegant and beautiful.

Compared to the day of our separation last fall, the immaturity on her face has faded a lot.

Even with the warm-toned scarf to balance it out, it was hard to conceal her increasingly elegant and cool temperament.

"Why didn't you go to practice today?" Jiang Ruyi leaned forward with her knees against the bed, looking at the silent Lu Ran.

Looking at her still gentle eyes, Lu Ran became a little uncertain.

She doesn't seem angry?
"Lu Ran?" Jiang Ruyi called softly.

"Tired." Lu Ran looked away and said casually.

There is nothing wrong with this reason.

For two whole months, except for around the 15th, Lu Ran went out early and came back late every day.

Physical fatigue is one thing, mental fatigue is another.

"Are you sick?" Jiang Ruyi reached out and placed her hand on Lu Ran's forehead.

Cool and soft.

Jiang Ruyi frowned slightly: "Why is it so hot?"

Lu Ran looked at his girlfriend helplessly: "Your hands are cold."

Jiang Ruyi: “.”

Lu Ran: “.”

It is the beginning of October in the lunar calendar, the time when autumn turns to winter, and it is indeed a bit cold outside.

"I'm glad you're not sick." Jiang Ruyi rolled her eyes at Lu Ran, stood up, took off her scarf and walked out of the bedroom.

After a while, the tall figure appeared in front of the master bedroom door again, with one hand on the door handle, pretending to close the door:

"Want to sleep a little longer?"

Lu Ran suddenly said: "You were not at home last night."

Jiang Ruyi paused.

Lu Ran: "Is there something going on with your uncle and aunt? Or?"

Jiang Ruyi pursed her lips, looking a little hesitant: "I"

"what happened?"

Jiang Ruyi hesitated for a long time, and whispered: "I have been promoted, and I have been practicing in front of the shrine, so I haven't come here."

"Ok?"

"The fifth stage of the river realm."

"That's great!" Lu Ran was delighted, but then he became a little confused. "Is there anything difficult to say?"

Jiang Ruyi glanced at Lu Ran cautiously, then shook her head gently: "No."

You know, as early as two months ago, Lu Ran was already at the fifth stage of the River Realm.

When he first returned from Luoxian Mountain, he looked like a god, with stars in his eyes.

Day after day, Jiang Ruyi watched with her own eyes as the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

She was unable to do anything and could only try her best to take care of his daily life and restrain herself from disturbing his feelings.

Now, two months later, the two are once again on equal footing.

Jiang Ruyi knew how much Lu Ran had paid and how difficult his heart was.

She was indeed a little worried that Lu Ran would be hit hard.

"You" Lu Ran thought for a moment and understood the other person's psychological state.

He looked at his girlfriend angrily and amusedly, and waved, "Come."

Jiang Ruyi lowered her head slightly and walked over.

When they approached the bed, a warm hand grabbed her cold wrist.

"Hmm." Jiang Ruyi let out a soft cry and was pulled down onto the bed.

Lu Ran pressed her down, supported her body with his hands, and looked down into her eyes:

"I'm so happy that you've advanced!

In your heart, am I so stingy? "

Jiang Ruyi raised her eyelids and looked closely at Lu Ran's eyes.

After a long while, she looked away and whispered, "Are you afraid that you will be upset?"

"Haha." Lu Ran was really angry and laughed.

When he saw a smile on Jiang Ruyi's face, Lu Ran was so angry that his teeth were itching!

What kind of person am I in your heart?
My own failure is terrible, but my girlfriend’s success is more worrying to me?
"I'll go make dinner." Jiang Ruyi whispered and pretended to leave.

Lu Ran held her down again: "Let's go out and eat. I'll celebrate for you!"

When talking about the word "celebrate", Lu Ran deliberately added emphasis.

"Oh." Jiang Ruyi looked away, "What are we going to eat?"

Lu Ran snorted: "Let's have mutton hotpot, it fits your great achievements."

"Haha~" Jiang Ruyi couldn't help laughing, but quickly held it back.

Lamb is an ingredient that does not appear on the Lu family’s table.

Although Lord Fairy Sheep has nothing to do with the sheep in the world, it doesn't care at all.

But mutton has the word "sheep" in it after all.
"Let's go." Lu Ran urged. He hadn't eaten mutton hotpot for a long time and was indeed a little craving for it.

The two men put on their clothes, hats and scarves, and after being fully armed, they quickly walked out of the house.

The two of them didn't know at this time.
What will this trip bring them?
