[Nie Lan Extra 01]

At the end of the 11th season, the Judgment Club gave the players a vacation as usual.

The results of the ruling this year were not very good. I failed to win the trophy in individual competitions and team battles. What is gratifying is that Nie Yuandao and Shan Lan won the championship in the double competition and set a record of the "triple-champion" in the double competition. There is no partner in the league that can surpass their achievements. The senior executives of the ruling are also very satisfied with this result.

The next morning, Shan Lan and Nie Yuandao went home together.

The two families live in the same community, and the two villas happen to be next door.

When he heard that Nie Lan and the other two came back from the holiday, Nie Yuandao's mother prepared a welcome banquet in advance, saying that the two families were celebrating together. Shan Lan received a message from her mother before she even had time to put her luggage on, asking him to go to the Nie family for dinner. He had to follow Nie Yuandao to go directly to the Nie family.

After entering the house, she saw a man with a look of sixty similar to Nie Yuandao. Shan Lan immediately greeted him politely: "Uncle Nie..."

Nie Yuandao's father is a company executive and is extremely strict. Shan Lan has been afraid of him since she was a child and couldn't help but his spine was stiff in front of him. Fortunately, Nie's father didn't say much and nodded and said, "Come in and sit down."

The two changed their shoes and came to the restaurant. The table was already full of rich food. Shanlan's parents were chatting with Nie Yuandao's mother in the restaurant. Seeing them coming, Nie's mother immediately smiled and greeted: "You go and wash your hands, prepare to start a meal, and chat while eating."

Shan Lan nodded obediently: "Okay aunt."

Nie Yuandao also greeted Shan Lan's parents. The two of them went to put down their luggage, washed their hands, and then turned around to the restaurant.

At the dinner party, Nie's mother said with a smile: "I have watched your game too. I won three championships in a row. It's really amazing!"

Nie Yuandao said lightly: "Mom, can you understand the game?"

Nie's mother said bluntly: "What's the matter if you can't understand it? I'll join in the fun. Xiaolan's cards are very fun flying around in the sky."

Shan Lan's father smiled and said, "Our Xiaolan's dream when he was a child was the same as me. He was a scientist who studied aerospace science and technology. As a result, seeing that your family went from afar to play games, he also went to be a professional player."

Shan Lan's mother glanced at her son and said helplessly: "He has loved to follow Yuandao's butt since he was a child. Every day when he goes home, he sips with 'Brother Nie next door'. He really regards Yuandao as a role model."

Nie's mother smiled and said, "I still remember that when Xiaolan was in kindergarten, she often got lost in the community. She always walked through the wrong door and ran to the doorbell at our door. I really wanted to turn him into the house and forget about my son."

Shan Lan's mother also smiled and said, "No, I got off work several times and couldn't find him, but he ran to your house!"

The elders laughed, Shan Lan's face was so blushed that it was about to drip blood. She lowered her head and wanted to dig a crack in the ground to bury herself.

Nie Yuandao glanced at him and a smile rose slightly at the corner of his lips.

...

Twenty years ago, Shan Lan's parents bought a house in this community due to work transfer. His father learned that the neighbor who moved next door was his college classmate. He was extremely excited and invited their family to visit and congratulate him on his house move.

That was the first time Nie Yuandao saw Shan Lan.

The four-year-old boy was wearing a blue short-sleeved sleeve with cartoon patterns, revealing a piece of his arms. His fair face was so tender that he could pinch it out of water. The child's eyes were clear and bright, and his eyelashes were particularly long. When he smiled, his eyes would bend into the shape of a crescent moon, which was so cute.

Dad Shan saw the boy in front of him and said, "This one is far away, right? I have seen your photos, they have grown so big!"

Nie Yuandao greeted him politely: "Hello uncle."

Shan Dad pulled his son over and said, "Be good, call me brother."

The child raised his head and looked at Nie Yuan in curiosity, shouting in a silence: "Brother!"

Nie Yuandao stretched out his hand and rubbed the little boy's head. The hair he touched with his fingers was delicate and soft. He couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's your name? How old are you?"

Shan Lan answered seriously: "My name is Shan Lan, I am four years old."

Nie Yuandao walked into the house with his little hand. Shan Lan was a little shy and hid timidly behind Nie Yuandao, looking around curiously with big eyes.

Nie Dad and Shan Dad are old classmates who have not seen each other for many years. They sat in the living room to reminisce about the past and talked about the topics of college. Others couldn't even get into the conversation. The two mothers were busy in the kitchen, so Nie Yuandao took Xiao Shanlan to his house and found him some toys.

Shan Lan was very happy and sat on the ground and played with it on his own with the toy given by Nie Yuandao.

Nie Yuandao had a headache when he was crying and how he should coax him, but he found that his worries were completely unnecessary - this child was very obedient, and he didn't cry or make a fuss. He sat on the ground and fiddled with the robots seriously, immersed in his own world, and did not speak for an hour.

It was not until his parents asked them to have dinner that Shan Lan walked to the door, looked at Nie Yuandao reluctantly, and asked seriously: "Brother, can I come to your house to have fun tomorrow?"

Nie Yuandao was stunned and said, "I like these toys?"

Shan Lan nodded vigorously, his movements were like a chicken pecking at rice.

Nie Yuandao touched his head and said, "I can't use these, I'll give them all to you."

Shan Lan's eyes lit up suddenly, she ran over and hugged the toys full of her arms, and her eyes smiled like crescent moons: "Thank you brother!"

Maybe he thought that "the brother who gave me toys was a good person." Since that day, Shan Lan liked to follow Nie Yuandao's butt and be a small follower.

It was summer vacation at that time. The twelve-year-old Nie Yuandao liked playing basketball and would go to the community basketball court every afternoon to play basketball.

Shan Lan always likes to follow Nie Yuandao, but unfortunately his height is only as high as Nie Yuandao's legs. The basket is out of reach for him, so he is very difficult for him to throw the ball in, so he is responsible for picking up the ball for Nie Yuandao.

Seeing the child holding the basketball clumsyly and running with short legs, panting, but he always took the ball back and handed it to his own hands seriously. Nie Yuandao, who has always hated children, suddenly felt that this child next door was really obedient and cute.

So every evening, when Nie Yuandao went to play, he would take Xiao Lan along the way. Xiao Shanlan followed him happily to pick up basketballs. Two figures, one big and one small, ran on the basketball court, and the scene seemed to have a different kind of warmth.

As an only child and rarely accompanied Nie Yuandao, he gradually got used to the little followers behind him.

After playing the ball, Nie Yuandao would lead the little guy's hand home together, and Shan Lan followed him obediently, calling him "brother" very sweetly.

School started soon, Nie Yuandao went to a nearby junior high school to study. Shan Lan was five years old and was in the kindergarten class.

In order to allow Shanlan to receive the best education since childhood, Shanlan's parents sent him to the best kindergarten in the imperial capital, which was a bit far from the community where they lived. Fortunately, the school had a special school bus for picking up and dropping off, so they were not afraid of something happening to the child on the road.

On the first day of school, Shan Lan got off the school bus and went home with her schoolbag on her back, and actually ran to the door of the Nie family.

Hearing the door bell, Nie Yuandao opened the door and found Shan Lan standing at the door. He couldn't help but wonder: "Xiao Lan, are you looking for me?"

Shan Lan asked: "Why are my brother at my house?"

Nie Yuandao was stunned and said, "This is my home."

Shan Lan looked up at him blankly: "Isn't this my home?"

Hearing the movement, Mama Nie walked out and saw Xiao Shanlan carrying her schoolbag. She immediately showed a loving mother's smile on her face. She led Shanlan into the house and said, "Xiao Lan, come in quickly, auntie cut you fruit."

Shan Lan was pulled into the Nie family in a daze.

Half an hour later, his parents came over, and everyone realized that Shanlan was not familiar with the road conditions of the community and had no sense of direction since he was a child. In the past, Nie Yuandao took him to the door of his house every day, and he would not get lost. Now the school bus sent the children to the intersection, and there were two forks leading to two villas. The distance between the forks was only 30 meters, but the two roads were too similar, and the gates of the two families were too similar. He couldn't tell the east and west sides, so he accidentally ran to the Nie family on the wrong path.

Shan Lan's mother looked apologized: "It's really causing you trouble."

Mother Nie didn't mind at all and rubbed the child's head with a smile: "It's okay, Xiaolan will come to play often in the future!"

Shan Lan said seriously: "Goodbye Auntie, goodbye brother!"

After school the next day, Nie Yuandao, who heard the doorbell, opened the door and saw that the child Shanlan, carrying his schoolbag, had once again walked the wrong way. He stood at the door of the Nie family, looked up at Nie Yuan in a daze and innocent way and said, "Why are brothers at my house?"

Nie Yuandao had no choice but to hold his forehead: "This is my family... come in."

On the third day, the doorbell rang again on time.

Nie's mother was amused and crying: "Has Xiaolan gone wrong again?"

Nie Yuandao rubbed his temples and said with a headache: "Why does he always come to my house?"

This problem must be solved, and the child Shanlan cannot always go to the wrong door. So Nie Yuandao came up with a good idea and set up a sign at the fork in the distance, with a pen marking on it.

"←Nie Family" "→Shan Lan Family"

Nie Yuandao patiently taught Shan Lan to recognize the words and told him that the right arrow was from his house and the left arrow was from his house.

Shan Lan happily said: You will never go wrong again.

From that day on, Shan Lan did not miss it, and his doorbell did not ring again.

After just one week, Nie Yuandao stood on the second floor. Through the window, he saw Shan Lan coming home from school. The child was wearing a cute cartoon sportswear and carrying a schoolbag on his back to watch at the fork in the road for three seconds, and then jumped home.

Nie Yuandao thought to himself that it was one week since school started, and he should recognize where his home's door was, right? The street sign could be withdrawn, otherwise it would be very stupid to stand at the fork in the road.

So, when he was in school the next morning, Nie Yuandao took the signpost away.

After school in the evening, Nie Yuandao stood by the window on the second floor and watched. Soon, the small figure appeared in his sight. Shan Lan walked to the fork in the road and found that the sign was missing. He stood there in a daze and turned around and turned around and walked towards the Nie family. He ran to the door of the Nie family and ran to the doorbell.

Nie Yuan, who heard the doorbell, said: "..."

So, can he really only rely on signs to recognize the door?

This child’s ability to recognize his way is not as good as a puppy!

When Nie Mama opened the door, she saw the child Shanlan standing at the door, and couldn't help but wonder: "Xiao Lan?" Nie Yuandao suppressed his smile and came down from the second floor, walked to Shanlan and said: "You've gone wrong again."

Shan Lan raised her head and said, "Isn't this my home?"

Nie Yuandao looked at the child with a confused look on his face, and chuckled and rubbed his hair: "It's my family."

Shan Lan lowered her head and said with a red face: "The sign at the intersection is gone, I, I feel like this place is more like my home..."

Nie Yuandao was amused and crying: "Where is more like your home?"

Shan Lan couldn't tell a reason for a long time, and she lowered her head and felt very aggrieved.

Mama Nie smiled and said, "It's okay, come in and play, auntie will give you some delicious food."

Shan Lan was led into the Nie family again. Nie Yuandao had no choice but to turn around and put the signposts at the fork in the road. It seems that he cannot have too high expectations for the ability of Shan Lan's children to recognize their homes.

...

Recalling his childhood, Shan Lan's face became redder and redder. He vaguely remembered that he always took the wrong path when he was a child and ran to the Nie family to knock on the door. Nie Yuandao had no choice but to put a sign for him at the fork in the road.

The street sign written on "→Shan Lan Home" is still standing there, and it has become a unique scenery in the community.

When I saw this sign when I was back home with my luggage today, Nie Yuandao glanced at him meaningfully. Shan Lan really wanted to dig a crack in the ground to bury himself - why did I be so stupid when I was a child?

Thinking of the cute child who rang his doorbell with his schoolbag on his back, Nie Yuandao's lips couldn't help but rise.

Time flies, and the children next door have grown so big in the blink of an eye.
