Chapter 2254

At the same time as the last word fell, the surrounding air pressure instantly dropped, and the whole world seemed to fall into an indescribable silence, so quiet that Jiang Yifan could clearly hear his own heartbeat, breathing, and swallowing saliva suddenly , grunted, I don't know if it was nervous, guilty, or other emotions, in short, Jiang Yifan's mood became extremely complicated following Gu Nancheng's words, "You..."

"You know everything?"

This was something Jiang Yifan didn't think of. He thought he had hidden it well and was secret enough, but he didn't expect that Gu Nancheng had poured out all his details now.

Gu Nancheng knew who he was, and from his tone, it seemed that he knew it a long time ago, but he didn't say it out. Therefore, because of Enen's relationship, Gu Nancheng must have secretly investigated his details, and he was very happy. If you are capable, check it out.

Sure enough, Gu Nancheng cared more about Enen than he could have imagined, otherwise he wouldn't have investigated all the friends around Enen clearly and clearly.

If he guessed correctly, since the first day he appeared beside En En, Gu Nancheng had noticed him, and from the very beginning, he had been seen through, but he himself was still ignorant, thinking that he was He's very smart, his cleverness is nothing to mention in front of Gu Nancheng. To put it bluntly, the other party might look at him as if he was watching a joke.

Just like now, Gu Nancheng exposed his attitude in front of him, taking no time to rush, like a wild beast, teasing his prey, while before he was chattering and guessing about his relationship with Enen, The other party probably didn't care at all, they were just watching him dying.

That's right, what is Gu Nancheng afraid of? Gu Nancheng was sure that he would not dare to say it. Even if he did, in Gu Nancheng's eyes, Enen would not believe it, and it might even be because of his own nonsense that Enen hated it. After falling in love with him, he was blacklisted in his heart, so Gu Nancheng was naturally fearless, but he didn't want Enen to know about these things about himself.

"As for your matter, do you think I don't know?" In the darkness, the young man's voice was extremely indifferent and contemptuous, "Jiang Yifan, I advise you, don't be too smart, if you don't want to get rid of Enen disappear, then be honest, don't play any tricks, let alone use any means, otherwise, I don't mind letting Enen know what kind of person you used to be."

After leaving this warning, Gu Nancheng was no longer willing to talk nonsense with Jiang Yifan, lay down on the bed again, closed his eyes, "Sleep calmly."

Now it's all right, Jiang Yifan can't even think about being honest, he also lay back on the sofa again, not as before, tossing and turning on the sofa, making Gu Nancheng unable to sleep because of the noise, now even the sofa is too big for him It's too narrow, too short, but it doesn't matter anymore. He slightly hooked his legs and lay on the sofa with his big eyes open, motionless.

There is nothing in front of me, only a piece of blackness that can't be seen with my fingers. In my mind, I repeat over and over again, all of Nancheng's few, but heavyweight words like bombs, "So, who are you? It's now Where is Jiang Yifan, the most popular school girl in the school, or that little fat guy who suffered humiliation every day?"

"Jiang Yifan, let me advise you, don't be too smart. If you don't want to disappear from Enen's side completely, then be honest and don't play any tricks, let alone use any means. Otherwise, I don't mind letting Enen know. what kind of person you were."

At the beginning, he only knew about Gu Nancheng's thoughts, so he kept probing and tried various methods to prove it. Then, as he expected, at least in Gu Nancheng's reaction, the answers were all written in Inside, he thought that Gu Nancheng would be afraid and worried about being exposed when he knew these terrible secrets, so in the future, he would hide his liking for Enen a little deeper.

Then in this case, his goal has been achieved. The deeper Gu Nancheng hides, the more opportunities he has, but he never expected that no matter how good his abacus is, it will be useless. Who is Gu Nancheng? An ordinary student's brain is not comparable to that of ordinary people, and even his thoughts cannot be understood thoroughly by ordinary people.

Sure enough, a few or two sentences were so flimsy. Their conversation started from him taking the initiative to attack, and then he was beaten back very passively. He was easily killed by Gu Nancheng, and this person was completely controlled. He said that hitting a snake to hit seven inches is not wrong at all. Gu Nancheng didn't need much effort to hit him directly from seven inches. none.

Because what Gu Nancheng thought was right, Jiang Yifan is not afraid of anything now, but he is afraid that Enen will know his past and what kind of person Jiang Yifan was. Reborn and reborn, but his embarrassment, ugliness, filth, cowardice, and all his dark history have all existed.

Even the past can't be erased, even if he takes an eraser, he can't erase it no matter what, and the more beautiful he is now, the more he doesn't want Enen to know his distress, he is a boy, he has his own Self-esteem, especially in front of the girls you like, naturally you have to face.

Although Enen is pure and innocent, she never disliked him when he was the ugliest, and was even willing to help him when he was being bullied, but that was different, it was just sympathizing with the weak and not being able to see others It's just bullying classmates. If it comes to liking, Enen will never like Jiang Yifan like that. When he thinks of that disgusting look, even he himself can't accept it, let alone a delicate girl?

So, that's why he never told Enen how they met. He hoped that this would be a secret in his heart forever, and Enen would never remember it again. What he wanted Enen to see was The current Jiang Yifan is not the little fat man who was piled up in the corner all day long, beaten and scolded, and shaking all over his body when he ran.

No girl would have a good impression of such a boy. He understands human nature too well, and it was hard for him to stand by Enen's side and become best friends with her. Now he can't make any mistakes, because He can't afford to gamble, and he can't afford to lose. If the paper can't cover the fire after all, it's a matter of the future, and we'll talk about it in the future. when.

It has to be said that Gu Nancheng's warning played a crucial role. This night, Jiang Yifan didn't chatter like before, trying to pull something useful out of Nancheng's mouth. He didn't continue to toss and turn, affecting Nancheng's sleep, but he was obedient, didn't say a word, and slept quietly on the sofa. Although his eyes were open, he couldn't fall asleep until almost dawn due to insomnia.

It was almost six o'clock before he closed his eyes in a daze. He didn't know how long he had slept. In the dimness, he heard someone talking and rustling in the room. He heard When there is movement, he wants to open his eyes, but his eyelids are so heavy, no matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to open them, um, he's too sleepy.

"Why is he sleeping on the sofa?" In Nancheng's room, Enen squatted by the sofa, looked at the person sleeping soundly on it, and asked suspiciously.

Last night, Jiang Yifan couldn't sleep all night, but Enen was different. Ever since she received Gu Nancheng's text message and received those three words, Enen was always happy in her heart. Every time she was in a good mood, she couldn't sleep well. It smells a lot, and even the dreams I have at night are sweet and beautiful, in short, it is particularly comfortable and down-to-earth.

After getting enough sleep, her whole body is naturally relaxed when she wakes up in the morning, so Enen happily ran to Nancheng's room, ready to go downstairs for dinner with him and Jiang Yifan, but unexpectedly, she saw Jiang Yifan on the sofa, sleeping like a head Like a dead pig, even she and Nancheng have been talking for a long time, and he has no intention of getting up.

Nancheng came out of the bathroom. He was already tidied up, clean and in his best appearance. Hearing what Enen said, he said coldly, "Sleep with me in the same bed, he thinks it's too crowded. "

Nancheng was talking nonsense with his eyes open, but Enen naturally didn't know it. He thought what he said was true, so he couldn't help complaining, "Then he is really hypocritical."

Well, in fact, Enen felt a little unbalanced in her heart. There was a thunder before, and she was scared to death. She ran to Gu Nancheng's room with her pillow in her arms, and wanted to sleep with him, but she was driven to sleep on the sofa. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yifan had Sleeping on the bed but still pretending not to sleep, compared to this, En En felt really mad, anyway, she was mad, what the hell.

"Let's go." Nancheng came over, "Go downstairs for dinner."

"Then what should he do?" Enen pointed to Jiang Yifan who was on the sofa, "Why don't you wake him up?"

"If he could wake up, he would have woken up a long time ago." Nancheng said, "Let him sleep."

It's best to sleep as long as possible, he doesn't want to sit at the same table with Jiang Yifan for dinner, let alone go to school with him.

In Nancheng's eyes, Jiang Yifan is not only a rival in love, but also a superfluous person who shouldn't appear in front of them.

En En looked at the time, it was getting late, "But if he doesn't get up again, he will be late for school."

"Just ask for leave for him." Nancheng didn't take things like being late for school seriously.

Enen really can't understand, how can someone sleep so deeply, and no matter how stupid she is, she can tell that Gu Nancheng doesn't seem to like Jiang Yifan very much, and doesn't want to go to school with him, otherwise, no matter what , will find a way to wake up Jiang Yifan, instead of leaving him alone and saying that he is late, let her ask for leave for Jiang Yifan, "Can this work?"

Enen originally wanted to follow Gu Nancheng's lead, but she thought that Jiang Yifan took good care of herself and helped a lot with her studies. They usually get along very happily, especially when Fang Ya is still around, so After much deliberation, Enen decided to bring Jiang Yifan along.

Now that Jiang Yifan came to the house, he was a guest. If he left him at home just because he slept too deeply, and they went to school, it would be too immoral. Enen felt that such an immoral thing She shouldn't have done it, "Forget it, let's wake him up together."

After the words fell, Enen had reached out and pushed the person on the sofa, calling his name, "Jiang Yifan, Jiang Yifan has woken up!"

The person on the sofa stretched his eyelids, but he didn't open them. The movements in Enen's hands couldn't help but amplified a bit, and the decibels were directly raised, "Jiang Yifan, wake up, don't pretend to be dead, the sun is shining on your butt, get up go to school!"

Still not responding much, Enen took a deep breath, "Here, you forced me to do this, so don't blame me."

In the end, En En did a trick, and directly found a book and rolled it up like a receiver, put one side on Jiang Yifan's ear, and on the other side, pointed his mouth at the mouth of the receiver, and the Lion roared, "Ahhhhhhhh , Get up, get up, Jiang Yifan gets up!"

This trick obviously worked. Jiang Yifan in his sleep was frightened and jumped up from the sofa suddenly, his eyes widened. After seeing Enen and the crime tools in her hands, he couldn't help but swear, "Damn!" !"

"Gu Nuoen, you are going to scare me to death!"

Jiang Yifan was almost deaf in his ears, and he was really frightened, panting heavily, and his chest heaved violently.

"Blame me?" Enen snorted twice and said, "You don't wake up no matter what, then I have to think of a way to scare you to death. You sleep like a pig. I have never seen someone who sleeps so deeply. People, I can't wake up anyway."

Jiang Yifan took a few deep breaths, and then he recovered a bit, but he was dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.

Enduring the discomfort, he got down from the sofa and explained, "Last night I had insomnia, and I didn't fall asleep until this morning. Can you sleep well?"

"You still have insomnia." Enen snapped.

Jiang Yifan was speechless, "Isn't insomnia normal? Don't make it look like New World."

"Let me just say, why are you sleeping so abnormally? It turned out to be insomnia." Enen thought for a while and said, "Then in my opinion, my house is not suitable for you to sleep in. Don't come here in the future, so as not to suffer from insomnia again."

"That won't work." Jiang Yifan refused, he also wanted to stay at their house with insomnia, besides, there was a special situation last night, and it didn't happen every day.

"Since you're all awake, wash up and come down to eat quickly. Gu Nan and I have packed up early, so let's go first." Without giving Jiang Yifan a chance to speak, Enen had already grabbed Gu Nancheng's arm and tugged at him. Watching him go out of the room, "Gu Nancheng, let's go and have dinner."

"Don't you think about waiting for me?" Jiang Yifan shouted at the backs of the two, and only Enen responded to him with his back turned and waved at him.

Soon, their backs disappeared from Jiang Yifan's sight.

Seeing that the door was empty and there was nothing, Jiang Yifan stood there for almost a minute before enduring the discomfort in his body and walked to the bathroom.

In the mirror of the washstand, the bruises under his eyes were heavy, and his face was slightly pale. He raised his hand and touched his forehead, and it was a little hot. Sure enough, he guessed right, he had a fever, otherwise, no matter what happened at night, Insomnia, he wouldn't be unable to get out of bed, probably because there was no quilt last night, and the air conditioner in the room was turned on at a low level, so he must have caught a cold.

Alas, what a terrible night, Jiang Yifan sighed in his heart, while En En went downstairs talking and laughing with Gu Nancheng, and came to the restaurant to have breakfast together.

Gu Yebai, who was having breakfast, heard the sound, looked up at the source of the sound, and greeted his precious daughter, "Enen, good morning."

"Good morning, Dad!" Enen smiled sweetly, with crooked brows and eyes.

This smile touched the heart of the old father. His daughter has grown up. Every time he sees Enen, Gu Yebai wants to sigh a hundred times. His daughter is so good. Thank fate for allowing him to have Having such a sweetheart, her smile sweetened him so early in the morning. His life is really perfect. Until today, he has no regrets at all. "Sit down and have breakfast."

"Okay!" When Enen sat down, she did not forget Tang Guoer, "Mom, good morning."

"Well, it's all good. You and Nannan should eat more. We're going to take exams soon. Don't be malnourished. You can't keep up with your studies." Tang Guoer didn't worry about anything in this family, and now the only thing she worries about is , Enen's study and those messy little things.

Enen nodded obediently, and then had breakfast with Gu Nancheng, Tang Guoer realized something was wrong, "Enen, why are you two coming down to eat, where is Fanfan?"

"Fanfan is a guest, you have to take good care of the guests and don't leave them behind."

Enen explained, "We didn't leave him behind. He overslept before, so he was later than us. He should be coming down now. There is only this little space in the house, and he can't get lost."

When Enen said this, Gu Yebai, as an old father, immediately followed the words of his precious daughter, "That's right, don't worry, wife, it's not a big deal, boys are so delicate, come down and do it yourself." Come down, is it possible that you have to wait and be with Enen, she must be hungry, so she came down to eat with Nancheng first, right, Enen?"

"Yeah!" Enen said happily, "Long live Dad!"

Ouch, sweetheart, it's so sweet that Gu Yebai can't bear it, thank fate again, thank his wife.

Tang Guo'er sighed helplessly, and spoiled her to the extreme, "You guys, it's true."

About a few minutes later, when Enen hadn't eaten half of his meal, Jiang Yifan appeared, wearing a school uniform, and politely greeted Tang Guoer and Gu Yebai, "Uncle, aunt, good morning!"

"Fanfan, you are finally here, sit down and have breakfast!" Seeing Jiang Yifan, Tang Guoer was very enthusiastic, and hurriedly greeted him to come and sit down, "Everyone is already eating, don't mind, what do you want to eat and eat?" Auntie said, Auntie will let the kitchen prepare it for you immediately."

Jiang Yifan naturally didn't mind, he couldn't wait for everyone to wait for an outsider to serve the meal, so he would feel embarrassed, and he would also feel sorry, after all, he got up late, "Auntie, don't be so polite to me, I don't want to eat anything Okay, I'm not picky at all."

"It's good not to be picky about food!" Even though she said so, Tang Guoer still greeted the people to serve a lot of breakfast, and let Jiang Yifan choose to eat. Jiang Yifan smiled and thanked, "Thank you, auntie."

Gu Yebai ate breakfast slowly, and only occasionally turned his attention to Jiang Yifan. He is a very good kid, aside from his appearance, he has a good personality and is very polite. He looks more cheerful. No wonder he and Enenchu ​​became friends , "Your name is Jiang Yifan?"

Gu Yebai's voice was rustling, full of the charm of a mature man.

After all, Enen is Jiang Yifan's favorite girl. Jiang Yifan is inevitably a little nervous when facing her father. After all, father and mother are different. Gu Yebai is the head of the family. Even if he is casual, he will inevitably feel oppressive.

Jiang Yifan suppressed his nervousness, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Yes, uncle."

"Jiang Yifan." Gu Yebai read his name together, and said, "It's a good name."

The man's thin lips opened and closed, but Jiang Yifan became more and more nervous. He could almost hear the sound of his heart beating, almost jumping out of his throat, "Thank you uncle."

"You're welcome." A guest came to the house. As the head of the family, Gu Yebai saw his wife's liking attitude towards this child, so he couldn't help but say a few more words, "Your parents should love you, right? Sail, smooth sailing."

Smooth sailing, smooth sailing.

Your parents should love you very much.

Jiang Yifan's hand holding the chopsticks shook slightly, and the chopsticks almost fell out of his grip.

He lowered his head slightly, and there was an indescribable loneliness between his brows.

Jiang Yifan, Yifan, smooth sailing.

When anyone hears his name, they will probably think the same as Gu Yebai. Your parents should love you, so they gave you such a name. I hope your future life will be smooth sailing. No disaster, no disease, no pain, everything goes smoothly.

But, who ever knew that his name was actually not given by his parents. In fact, no one loves him, and no one loves him. In that cold home, no one cares about him, let alone his future. smooth sailing.

Yifan, it’s just that he was left in that house without even a name, and the servants didn’t know what to call him. In the end, he was an old servant. I just called him Yifan by the way, that's all, no meaningful name, let alone any background, just a casual or even casual name.

But this name always makes people think too much, even if its existence is like a joke, and his previous life was like a joke.

If it hadn't been for Enen's appearance, if Enen hadn't stretched out his hand to him, if he hadn't caught the beam of light, there would be no Jiang Yifan who is reborn today, and he would live forever in coldness and darkness, in humbleness and In humiliation.

He pursed his dry lips, and said the funniest joke, "Well, he loves me a lot."

"By the way, your parents are doing..."

"Oh man!" Gu Yebai seemed to want to know about Jiang Yifan's situation. After all, he was Enen's classmate and also Enen's friend. He had heard Enen mention this person several times. Now that he saw this person, he He felt that as a father, he should have a basic understanding of Jiang Yifan, so that he could feel relieved.

But after only a few words, Tang Guoer interrupted, "Fanfan is a guest, and this is his first visit to our house, can you stop asking questions like checking your household registration? You can see that you frightened the child, and your face turned pale with nervousness."

Jiang Yifan's face was indeed pale, but it wasn't because he was frightened. On the one hand, Gu Yebai mentioned his parents, and on the other hand, he was sick and had a little fever. , should."

"Have you seen that, people have already said so." Gu Yebai immediately said, "I'm not really investigating the household registration, I just care about it casually, isn't that okay?"

Tang Guo'er rolled her eyes, as if she was too lazy to talk to him, "Fanfan, ignore him, have a good breakfast, go to school with Enen and the others after eating, you Uncle Gu, you don't care about anything. Well, there is just too much nonsense, you just treat him as air."

"Wife, what are you talking nonsense, why do I call it too much nonsense?" Gu Yebai retorted dissatisfiedly, "I don't talk too much to enliven the family atmosphere. If I don't talk too much, this family will fall apart."

"Eat!" Tang Guoer said, "Eat your meal well and shut your mouth!"

"I'm so angry, you have to coax me, if you don't coax me, you won't eat."

"Coax your sister, Gu Yebai, I think you are going to heaven or something?"

The couple is at the dinner table, you talk to each other, it's bickering, it's better to say flirting, this is a way for the couple to get along, it seems that there are always endless things to say, even nonsense. Unwilling to close that mouth, Enen and Nancheng are also used to it, so they naturally take it easy, but Jiang Yifan, seeing the lively conversation and laughter at the dinner table, showed a kind of expression in his eyes that he had never seen before. envy.

That's right, he envied such a scene, such a scene, envied the family atmosphere of Gu's family, envied the excitement at their dinner table, and envied this warm family. These were things he wanted, but he couldn't even hope for. He wanted to own it even in his dreams, wanted to live in such an environment, and wanted to grow up like a normal child, but he didn't.

He doesn't have it, and he can't get it. All he has is a cold dining table, sitting on a chair, as if he is always alone, no one talks, no one laughs, no one fights, there is no restaurant with any temperature, only He was alone, sitting there quietly, eating mechanically.

Any little sound from the dinner plate can echo in the huge restaurant.

It's too lonely, too lonely, and he really doesn't want to live a day like that. He wants to join the Gu family, eat, talk, laugh, and make trouble with them, to be a part of them, to feel People who live in warmth never want to go back to that lonely home, never want to be alone again.

He watched them quarreling almost greedily, and he couldn't bear to blink his eyes, until the itchy feeling in his throat made him cough uncontrollably, "Ahem, ahem!"

Tang Guoer's bickering with Gu Yebai stopped abruptly, and her eyes fell on him, and she asked with concern, "Fanfan, why are you coughing? Do you have a cold? Do you want to take some cold medicine?" ?”

Jiang Yifan shook his head, "No, Auntie doesn't need to be so nervous, I just have a sudden itchy throat."

"That's good, that's good." While Tang Guoer breathed a sigh of relief, she still didn't forget to remind, "Recently, the temperature difference between morning and night has been a bit large. You are all taking exams, so you must pay attention to your body and don't catch a cold. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Enen nodded obediently, and then Tang Guoer turned around, and had a heated fight with her husband again.

After dinner, the family's driver took the three of them to school. Along the way, Enen was chatting with Nancheng. Since the two had quarreled last night and then reconciled, their relationship has inexplicably warmed up. Before For a long time, she didn't like to talk much. Now, in front of Gu Nancheng, the talkative Enen seems to have returned.

When she was almost at school, Enen realized that Gu Nancheng had always had that personality, listening quietly and occasionally replying with a few words, but what was abnormal was that she always got along with her and was more talkative than her. The chattering Jiang Yifan was silent from the beginning to the end. This is undoubtedly outrageous, his mother opened the door for Outrageous, and outrageously got home.

"Why didn't Jiang Yifan speak?" Enen was finally willing to give Jiang Yifan some attention. Gu Nancheng naturally knew about it a long time ago, but he didn't want to talk, let alone respond to any topic about Jiang Yifan. Enen turned his head and called His name, "Jiang Yifan?"

But he saw Jiang Yifan leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes closed tightly, sleeping very soundly, he didn't even hear her call his name, "Huh? Fell asleep again?"

Enen felt strange, she had never seen Jiang Yifan so sleepy.

In front of her, he always seemed to be full of energy, as if he would never know or be sleepy.

Forget it, let him sleep for a while, and wake him up when we get to school.

En En muttered in a low voice, about ten minutes later, the school arrived, the driver parked the car at the school gate, got out of the car first, and opened the car door for them neatly.

"Jiang Yifan!" Jiang Yifan was still sleeping and didn't wake up. Enen reached out and patted his face lightly. Seeing that he didn't respond much, she moved closer to his ear and called him, "Jiang Yifan!"

Jiang Yifan finally heard it, opened his eyelids tremblingly, his ears were buzzing, it was the sound of students coming and going.

The school gate was already very noisy, Jiang Yifan yawned, "Are you at school yet?"

"Nonsense, of course it's here." Otherwise, why would she wake him up, let him sleep for a while.

"Sorry, I was too sleepy and fell asleep again." Jiang Yifan said while yawning.

"Get out of the car, it's time to go to school." Enen reminded.

Only then did Jiang Yifan carry his schoolbag, get out of the car weakly, and walk towards the school with Enen and the others.

But along the way, he didn't have much energy, and even felt dizzy all over. He didn't even know when they separated from Gu Nancheng. He walked all the way to the classroom, feeling extremely confused, as full of energy as usual. Comparing, soft and incompatible, they are like two different people.

So as soon as he entered the classroom, he threw his schoolbag aside and sat on the chair. Fang Ya noticed something strange, "Jiang Yifan, what's wrong with you? Why is it like being sucked dry of your yang energy by a female ghost?"

Not to mention, just like Jiang Yifan is like now, with pale face, bruised eye circles, and a weak look, it is really no different from being sucked out of Yang Qi, Fang Ya's description is very appropriate, "Tell me, what happened to you last night? What are you doing?"

Jiang Yifan felt that he didn't have the energy to answer, but fortunately Enen helped him answer, "He suffered from insomnia last night, he didn't sleep all night, and only fell asleep in the morning."

"No wonder, his complexion is so bad." Fang Ya suddenly realized, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, how do you know that he has insomnia and didn't sleep all night last night?"

En En told the truth, "He slept at my house last night. No matter how I called him in the morning, he couldn't wake him up. How do you think I knew?"

"What? What?" Fang Ya's eyes widened, she obviously heard something incredible, her eyes were wide open, "Jiang Yifan slept at your house last night? Why did you call him in the morning, and you couldn't wake him up? "

This topic was so shocking that the eyes of the people around them all fell on them, especially Jiang Yifan's tablemate, Qin Zhi, whose face was extremely ugly.

"No, no, no, Enen, you guys last night..." Fang Ya couldn't believe it, the sky, the earth, they are still junior high school students, even if they want to fall in love, it's too fast to reach this stage. Even Fang Ya, who has always been very open-minded, couldn't believe what she heard, "You two slept together last night?"

"Damn!" Enen finally realized that what she said was so misleading, so she hurriedly
