When the car drove into Quanxi Street, the sun had just set.
There was still a hundred meters away from the canteen, and Ning Lan noticed something was wrong.
He was afraid that if he came back late, his mother-in-law couldn't reach the switch, so he turned on the light before going out. However, there is no light in the store now, and the door is closed.
Before the car stopped, Ning Lan opened the car door and jumped down in a panic. There was no one in the store, and there was no one in the house. There was a chair lying beside the wall, and the electric gate two meters above the ground was open.
His heart was pounding, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind, each of which made his heart skip a beat.
When he turned to run out, he nearly bumped into someone.
When Sui Yi saw Ning Lan encountering him, her first reaction was to take two steps back, her face sank suddenly, she turned her head to look at Lu Hao who had parked the car and came over, and asked Ning Lan, "Where did you go with him?"
Ning Lan ignored it and turned to go out, but was stopped by Sui Yi's arm: "Mother-in-law sprained her waist and is now in the street clinic."
Ning Lan raised her head and said in shock, "Sprained waist? What's going on?"
Sui Yi pointed at the overturned chair with his eyes: "Tripping, she climbed on the stool to pull the switch and accidentally twisted it. Now it's all right, the doctor is massaging her."
He said it lightly. In fact, Granny Zhang was already unsteady and fell back. If he was one step late, or his reaction was half a beat slower, it would be more than just twisting his waist.
Ning Lan listened to his words, and her chaotic breathing gradually became steady. He went back to the house to get the money, and just stepped out with one foot, he turned back and asked him, "Did you pay for the medical expenses in advance? How much?"
Sui Yi was already in a depressed mood, and this question undoubtedly made things worse. He took another look at Lu Hao at the door: "Will you give him money when you go out with him and ride in his car?"
Ning Lan didn't want to answer this question, so she lowered her head and counted the money in her hand: "With the clothes from last time, is two thousand enough?"
Ever since Sui Yi saw Ning Lan and Lu Hao come back together, his temples jumped incessantly.
Ning Lan and him are obviously the closest relationship, so he shouldn't just talk about money like he is now. But Ning Lan was willing to give anyone a smile, but she was unwilling to give him even a chance to make up for it.
"Not enough." Sui Yi said, "Have you forgotten that you have a biological mother?"
Ning Lan's eyes widened suddenly, and her lips trembled a few times: "You... did you give her money?"
Sui Yi raised the corners of his mouth, laughing at himself that he could only get his attention in this way.
"Did you give her money? How much?" Ning Lan asked.
"Can not remember."
Ning Lan took two steps forward and asked reluctantly, "How much did you give?"
Afraid that the two of them would fight, Lu Hao went up to pull Ning Lan: "Let's go see mother-in-law first."
Ning Lan shook off his hand and said calmly, "Please, Brother Lu, help me take care of my mother-in-law first. I'll come right after I settle the bill with him."
After Lu Hao left, Sui Yi chuckled and said, "Checkout?"
Is that how he defined their relationship
Ning Lan turned around, took the paper and pen from under the counter, and put it in front of Sui Yi: "Write the card number here, I'll call you."
Sui Yi didn't even look at it, and asked, "What's your relationship with him?"
Ning Lan didn't answer, and pushed the pen and paper towards him: "Write the card number."
Sui Yi was fed up with his avoiding him, raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, forcing him to look at himself: "I ask, what is your relationship with him."
Ning Lan frowned: "Let go."
This time, Sui Yi didn't listen to him, and held on tightly and refused to let go.
He vaguely guessed that Ning Lan had an unusual relationship with the man. The man could go in and out of his house at will. The man's younger brother called him "sister-in-law". Wait for Dr. Lu to come.
He seemed to be the superfluous one. He disturbed Ning Lan's life and hindered Ning Lan's happiness. But he didn't believe it, he wanted to get the answer from Ning Lan's mouth, and wanted to ask him if he really didn't need him anymore.
Ning Lan's shoulders were pinched so painfully, seeing Sui Yi's stance that he would never give up if he didn't force the answer, he drooped his eyelids and said, "What's your business?"
Sui Yi seemed to be hit by a heavy punch that fell from the sky, and his internal organs were shaken.
Once upon a time, he also used this sentence to force Ning Lan to let go, but now it is his turn to know how lethal it is.
He was a little at a loss, and said in an unsure tone: "I... I like you."
He knew the timing was wrong, but he still said it. He didn't know what else to say, he really had no other way.
This time it was Ning Lan's turn to laugh. He finally looked up at Sui Yi and reminded him clearly, word by word, "Don't you like Ji Zhinan?"
A phantom flashed in front of Sui Yi's eyes, the smile in front of him overlapped with the shadow, and the voice in his ear was suddenly far and near: "Do you look like me, do you look like him?"
Ning Lan like this often appears in Sui Yi's dreams. His anxiety and anxiety piled up to the extreme. He grabbed Ning Lan's hand and said, "You don't look like you, you don't look like anyone. Can you go back with me? What do you want from me? Give it all to you, go back with me…”
"Sui Yi."
Sui Yi was stunned for a moment.
This was the first time Ning Lan called him by his first name.
Ning Lan was laughing, but her eyes were cold: "It was you who made me go away, and it was you who made me come back. Why did you tell me everything?"
Sui Yi's mouth moved, and suddenly became mute, unable to utter a word.
The corners of Ning Lan's mouth became higher and higher: "Do you still want to sleep with me?"
After he finished speaking, he raised his other hand and began to unbutton his shirt. He said, "I said earlier, you lend me money, borrow money from my mother, you are the benefactor of our family, and you should give some interest..."
Every word turned into a needle and pierced his heart, Sui Yi hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Don't say it!"
Ning Lan was not afraid at all, but continued: "If it's not enough, you can do it a few more times until it's cool, I... uh."
The next words all vanished in a threatening kiss. Sui Yi squeezed Ning Lan's chin tightly, forcing him to look up, grabbed his waist with the other hand, and imprisoned him in his arms, with his tongue in his mouth to attack the city, and his lips tightly wrapped around him, so fierce. As if to tear him apart.
Sui Yi suddenly felt a pain on the tip of his tongue, and Ning Lan suddenly pushed him away.
Ning Lan was panting heavily, her chest rising and falling rapidly, but her tone was still cold: "If you don't do it, get out, don't waste time here."
The fishy smell in Sui Yi's mouth spread, his complexion was ashen, his teeth clenched.
His anger had already burned to a critical point, and he was afraid that he would say something that could not be taken back under extreme emotions, so he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned around and walked out.
Ning Lan raised his head behind him, his back was reflected in his dilated pupils, watching him melt into the night and walk farther and farther.
Until he could see nothing, he slowly squatted back against the wall, curled up his body, and waited to be engulfed by the darkness.
Sui Yi returned to the car and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
Lu Xiaochuan said that once in a while, he could get rid of his worries for a while, not to mention being happy like a fairy.
He lit one, but didn't smoke it, watching the sparks go on and off, and the ash grew long and fell overwhelmed.
The car was filled with smoke and filled with a choking smell. He was in it, and when he was calm and the smoke was burning to the end, he turned to look out the window, only to find that it was raining.
The summer rain is wrapped in the smell of grass and earth, but because the air pressure is too low, people cannot smell the so-called freshness and fragrance.
The canteen diagonally opposite still didn't turn on the lights. Ning Lan should have gone to the small clinic to find her mother-in-law.
After the tongue hurts, it is numb, and occasionally a hint of fishy sweetness slides down the saliva into the throat. Sui Yi stretched out his hands and let the rain wet his palms, thinking bitterly that his Ning Lan would bite when he was angry, just as cute as before.
So cute that he wanted to pull a tune for him.
Sui Yi subconsciously looked for his violin, but the co-pilot and the back seat were empty. Then he remembered that he was carrying the violin case when he entered the canteen. Seeing that Granny Zhang was about to fall, he threw the violin case on the ground.
When Ning Lan came back at night and found it, she might just pick it up and throw it outside.
Sui Yi rushed to the entrance of the small shop in the heavy rain. He knew that Ning Lan usually left the door unlocked when he went out. As soon as he pulled the handle, the door opened.
It was pitch-dark inside, and Sui Yi turned on his mobile phone as a light source, and only then did he see clearly the piano case lying beside the shelf.
There are also people huddled in the corner.
The room was very quiet, but I could not hear the sound of the man, only the muffled sound of raindrops hitting the eaves.
Sui Yi's heartbeat suddenly became heavier, thump-thump-thump-beat on his eardrums, as if the whole world was nothing but this pounding heartbeat.
Ning Lan's head was buried deep in her knees, motionless, her half-unbuttoned clothes were unbuttoned, and one shoulder was exposed in the air, so thin that it made one's heart tremble.
When he got closer, he couldn't hear any gasps, and he seemed to seal himself completely.
Sui Yi took a deep breath, squatted down slowly, touched his hand, and called him softly, "Lan Lan."
Ning Lan hugged herself tightly, Sui Yi grabbed a piece of his cold wrist, but he couldn't break it, like a frozen stone, only something warm could make him thaw slowly.
Sui Yi couldn't find a point of strength, so he simply knelt on his knees and pressed Ning Lan into his arms. This time, I could finally feel his body trembling, whether it was because of fear or because it was too cold.
Sui Yi kissed the tip of his exposed ear, and continued to call him, "Lan Lan."
Ning Lan didn't reject his closeness, maybe he was unaware and had no time to resist. Since the reunion, this was the first time Sui Yi had held such a good-looking him in his arms.
But Sui Yi couldn't be happy. He would rather Ning Lan get up and beat him, scold him, bite him, make him bleed, and make him hurt.
Just stop torturing yourself like this.
He should have discovered that something was wrong with Ning Lan just now. Ning Lan's heart is so soft, but what she said is always with a knife. While stabbing the other party, why didn't she hurt herself
He doesn't want to show his vulnerable side, so he kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred in this way, which is so stupid that it hurts.
"Lanlan, look up, look up at me, eh?"
With Sui Yi's patient coaxing and persuasion, Ning Lan's tense body slowly relaxed, and she wished that her head, which was buried in the ground, would also be lifted up.
Ning Lan didn't cry, which made Sui Yi heave a sigh of relief. He touched Ning Lan's icy face with a warm hand, trying to transmit the temperature to him through the tight skin.
The originally closed eyes slowly opened, and Ning Lan's dark pupils stared at him, like a child who had just opened his eyes and looked at the world, with a bit of surprise and a bit of confusion in his eyes.
Sui Yi pinched his face: "Don't know me?"
Ning Lan shook her head slightly, without taking her eyes off him for a moment.
"It's cold on the ground, let's get up first."
Sui Yi let go of the hand that was wrapping around his waist, ready to get up first and then hug him. Ning Lan suddenly panicked, grabbed the hem of his clothes and didn't let him move.
Sui Yi heard Ning Lan talking, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, he had to bend over to lean over, hold Ning Lan's face, and half-jokingly said, "Isn't it very fierce and loud just now? What now..."
Anything left is blocked.
Sui Yi saw the water in Ning Lan's eyes surging violently, and then two lines of tears spilled out of his eyes, slid across his cheeks, and when they fell on his hands, they were already cold.
Ning Lan's hand firmly grasped the hem of his clothes, just like when he turned and left three years ago.
"I... I was wrong, I knew I was wrong, you... don't go, don't go, don't want me... "
Sui Yi's eyes suddenly turned black, and then a burst of pain swept through his body.
When Ning Lan cried, there was no sound, but when she was crying and talking, she could hear the choking. Now these careful sobbing, all turned into a sharp arrow pierced deep into his heart.
Wan Arrow pierces the heart is nothing but the same.
Even in the three years he couldn't find Ning Lan, he kept forcing himself to look forward. He believed that Ning Lan was working hard in a corner of the world that he did not know, just like what he saw when he came to Quanxi Street. arrived the same.
But he didn't know that the damage he had done to Ning Lan was so deep and heavy that Ning Lan could only walk forward with an empty shell, and the soul that was thrown away because of being overwhelmed was in the boundless darkness. For three years, I have not found a way out.
