Xu Ran was stunned, staring at He Cheng blankly. He Cheng's expression was as cold as ice, and there was a ruthlessness in his dark eyes, as if he wanted to tear him apart like this, crushing him piece by piece under his feet.
The cold eyes pierced Xu Ran's heart. He hurriedly hung up the phone and threw it aside, and explained in a frantic manner, "No, that's just a colleague..."
He knew what He Cheng had misunderstood, and he also knew that he couldn't panic at this time, but the more he understood, the more flustered he was, and all kinds of things mixed together to twist his heartstrings. He said a lot of explanations, but unfortunately none of them was what He Cheng wanted to hear.
Perhaps from the beginning, all the things he said were not what He Cheng wanted to hear.
When he finally explained that he had nothing to say, and fell silent at a loss, He Chengcai said coldly, "This place is not bad."
"What?" Xu Ran was taken aback.
He Cheng stepped into the door, and the leather shoes left a light mark on the clean floor, "I said, this place is nice, it's easy for me to find."
The tone sounded normal, but it set off a storm in Xu Ran's heart.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he gripped He Cheng's sleeve and murmured, "I shouldn't have kept it from you, I'm sorry..."
"Second-hand housing, where's the money?"
"I saved it myself...really," Xu Ran said, "I saved it myself, and I didn't touch your money."
He Cheng raised his eyes to look at him, with a slight sarcasm on his expression, "Saved? You have so much money?"
"real!"
The monthly salary and year-end bonus for so many years, as well as the tens of thousands of yuan I saved from working and studying in the past, plus the loan, are barely enough to buy a small second-hand house in the cheapest part of the city.
He Cheng snorted coldly, and looked around the room's decoration.
After he finished scanning the whole room, his eyes stayed on the kitchen which was still steaming. From here, you can see a corner of the stove, and the pot sitting on it is bubbling and bubbling, emitting the fragrance of food.
Xu Ran seems to have a magical ability to make all the ingredients light and delicious. He Cheng still likes his craftsmanship. When he was extremely tired after working overtime, Xu Ran's supper always made him much more comfortable.
I haven't felt this way for a long time. It is faint, with Xu Ran's unique soft atmosphere, covering the room, and it has a sense of home.
For the taste of what another man did.
He Cheng was furious and clenched his fists to prevent himself from acting like a thug, but he could only become more annoyed by the pain of nails digging into his palm.
It's one thing to quarrel, it's another to join forces with enemies to frame him, and it's another to cheat behind his back.
If Xu Ran had been a very purposeful person from the beginning, He Cheng would not be so angry. For so many years, he didn't understand what Xu Ran wanted from the beginning to the end.
He can give money and people, but if this is the case, Xu Ran should understand his rules. It is impossible for him to allow his pillow to have other men outside.
This cripple always seems to arouse his anger, even though he has wanted to break up countless times, and confirmed to himself that Xu Ran's existence is nothing at all, but this does not mean that he will not face everything in front of him. angry.
He also said sorry, He Cheng didn't know that he was so good at pretending, but he could still say sorry. This trash who is so weak that he can only apologize dares to buy a house and raise a man behind his back.
You ungrateful animal.
He Cheng looked at the kitchen for a long time, then suddenly said, "Xu Ran, you are promising."
Xu Ran was stunned.
He Cheng raised the corner of his mouth, showing an emotionless smile, "I really didn't expect you to have this ability, yes, let me open my eyes."
"He Cheng, don't be like this, listen to my explanation..."
Trembling, Xu Ran pulled He Cheng's hand, but was slapped away.
"You want to regain your freedom, but tell me that you don't need to use this kind of low-handed means."
He Cheng looked at him expressionlessly, and the words that came out of his mouth were extremely cold, "For the sake of the past ten years, I will fulfill you."
"He Cheng!"
Xu Ran interrupted him loudly, he had hardly used such a voice to talk to He Cheng in the past ten years.
"Listen to my explanation, okay? It's not what you think at all. He Yuxuan is just a colleague. Before Mai Xing came to me, he helped me out. I just want to thank him, that's all!"
He wiped the tears from his face indiscriminately, panting slightly.
He Cheng looked at him coldly, and asked, "Have you finished?"
Are you finished
Xu Ran was stunned for a moment, and the words that were full of him slipped to his mouth, and he swallowed them so abruptly. He Cheng looked at him as if he was looking at a shameless monster. For so many years, Xu Ran was used to being despised and ridiculed, but he couldn't bear this kind of gaze that seemed to fix him.
Unable to say another word, Xu Ran stood there like an idiot, watching He Cheng walk into the bedroom. He knew what He Cheng was looking for, He Cheng wanted to find traces of him cohabiting with another man.
It's a pity that there are no traces at all, and even in He Cheng's house there is no warm atmosphere of two people living together. Xu Ran was not a person with a sense of presence at all, his bedroom only had cold air and cold-colored bedding, and was so lonely that he didn't even have any extra decorations.
He Cheng didn't give up. He didn't know what he was being stubborn about, but he just felt that he must find something today so that he could leave this wretched place with peace of mind.
He opened the bedside table, Xu Ran followed into the room, seeing his movements, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"etc… !"
Xu Ran rushed forward, but it was still a step too late.
He Cheng took out the black and gold velvet box which was clearly a class higher than the whole room from the cabinet, his brows furrowed deeper.
This is not something that Xu Ran can afford casually, let alone that kid downstairs. This kind of packaged gift should come from a man who is at the same height as him.
Therefore, Xu Ran hid more than one man.
Thinking of this, He Cheng suddenly smiled, without any evil intentions, just smiled without warning, as if thinking of something interesting, he laughed more and more heartily.
Xu Ran was dumbfounded by his smile.
"Xu Ran, Xu Ran," He Cheng held his forehead, laughing until he had a headache, "You are really good, I underestimated you."
"What... He Cheng, what are you talking about?"
"This man, does he know that you have a little one?"
He Cheng waved the box in his hand, Xu Ran stared blankly and followed the movement of his hand, his thinking couldn't keep up with He Cheng at all.
He opened his mouth with difficulty, "That's for you."
"Ok?"
"It's for you." With courage from nowhere, Xu Ran raised his voice, "I wanted to give it to you when I was eating some time ago, but..."
He hesitated to involve Joan, but the pause sounded too much like an excuse.
He Cheng paused for a moment, then recovered his sanity during his pause, twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly, and opened the box.
A tie clip that was exactly the same as the one he was wearing lay quietly at the bottom of the box covered in red velvet.
"Your previous one broke, so I wanted to give you a new one... but you already have it."
Xu Ran lowered his head, and suddenly lost the strength to face He Cheng squarely.
He Cheng looked at the tie clip with heavy eyes, wondering what he was thinking.
Xu Ran glanced at the corner of his clothes from the corner of his eye, thinking, would He Cheng realize that he was wrong? In this way, the matter of He Yuxuan can also be explained, they can sit down and talk slowly, and all the misunderstandings and entanglements in the past ten years have all disappeared today.
There was a voice in his heart clamoring for resignation, but Xu Ran was too timid to confirm it. He knew that He Cheng would never admit his mistake. The most unlikely thing that could happen to this man was to admit defeat.
Sure enough, He Cheng put down the box slowly, "Have you met Qiao An?"
"Yes, I have seen it."
"You know, this," he tapped the tie pin on his chest with his index finger, "he gave it to me?"
"Yes." Xu Ran closed his eyes in despair.
"You bought the same thing as him... for me?" He Cheng's tone revealed a touch of disbelief, "Which one do you want to see me choose?"
No…
When the words came to his lips, Xu Ran suddenly didn't want to say anything, what else could he say? From the moment he walked into this room, He Cheng had already defined him. No matter what he said, He Cheng would always only think about the worst. In He Cheng's heart, he has long been a heartless person who doesn't know what's good or what's wrong.
But He Cheng, who took this heart first
It's a little ridiculous, He Cheng is a person who has never suffered a disadvantage, no matter whether he is conceited or narcissistic, he has always had the capital of being superior, so that all unreasonable things become reasonable to him. When he said these words, he was calm, as if the facts really developed as he thought.
This is the man I love deeply, Xu Ran thought with a wry smile, how pathetic he is.
Silence was regarded as acquiescence, He Cheng snorted in disbelief, knocked on the corner of the table, and said, "You want to compare with him? What qualifications do you have to compare with him."
This sentence was like a slap in the face, and it woke up Xu Ran's chaotic mind.
Yes, what qualifications does he have to compare with Jo Am
Even the so-called gossip, he has no right to blame He Cheng. What kind of person is He Cheng, and what kind of person is Qiao An? On the other hand, does he have the capital to choose
"You...you can think whatever you like."
These are the last words Xu Ran said to He Cheng.
He Cheng left quite calmly. Xu found something unexpected, which satisfied his little thought. He didn't even have the rage when he first came. He just went to the door and said to Xu Ran, "One The toy has been played for ten years, and it should be replaced."
Xu Ran was silent, just looking at him quietly, tears streaming down his heart, with a peaceful look on the surface.
He knew that He Cheng was talking about him as well as himself.
It's just that He Cheng doesn't know, if he could let go, he would have let him go, so why wait until now.
He never regarded this relationship as a toy, and he never felt that being with He Cheng had any comfort to talk about. He just liked it, just liked it, but was forced to be bruised and bruised. In the end, he could only say, what do you have? Qualified to compare with him.
He is not qualified. What kind of person is Joan, who can make a man remember him for ten years, can he do it? Even if it's right in front of your eyes, in the past ten years, has He Cheng looked him straight once
Sadly, he didn't fully realize this until today. Standing at the door, looking at He Cheng's leaving back, it was cold and determined, as if a frost had fallen into his eyes, casting a shadow over his vision, making him unable to see the direction clearly.
He covered his mouth, trying desperately to suppress the sobs that had lodged in his throat.
Someone ran up from downstairs, bringing a gust of cold wind. Xu Ran couldn't help wrapping his clothes tightly, thinking, why the cold spring this year hasn't passed, otherwise, the sky won't be warm.
The spring flowers haven't bloomed yet, and I was thinking about picking some gardenias to brew flower wine for He Cheng. It will take half a year to brew, and I will drink it when the weather is cold at the end of the year.
The weather has not yet warmed up, but the flowering period that belongs to him will not come again.
He Yuxuan rushed upstairs with his heart hanging, and saw Xu Ran standing at the door with a pale face, and when he saw him, he showed a very strange smile, which made He Yuxuan's heart thump.
Remembering that he was still in the corridor, He Yuxuan dragged Xu Ran into the house, poured a cup of hot water to warm his hands, and asked carefully, "Brother Xu, are you alright?"
Xu Ran sat on the sofa, holding a cup of hot water, staring blankly at a certain point on the ground in front of him, and said after a while, "Well, I'm fine."
"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, look at me." He Yuxuan knelt down in front of him and held his arm worriedly, "What happened?"
Xu Ran raised his head in a daze, and met He Yuxuan's crystal-clear eyes, and suddenly, for some reason, his nose soured, and he burst into tears.
He is not a person who likes to cry, all the tears in the past ten years have been shed on He Cheng, only today, he really couldn't bear it anymore.
He Yuxuan was still young, and he was already thrown into disarray by being so frightened by He Cheng, and now he was even more confused, froze there, not knowing what to do.
Fortunately, Xu Ran slowly adjusted himself, but he was still in a daze, with unfocused eyes showing imperceptible grievances, and asked softly, "Yu Xuan, do you think I live a special life?" fail."
"Brother Xu..." He Yuxuan paused, and squeezed out a sentence, "That man is yours..."
"He's my boyfriend." Xu Ran's voice sounded like the buzzing of a mosquito, he lowered his head again, "Once upon a time."
"You guys quarreled? Is it... because of me?"
He Yuxuan looked around helplessly, wondering if he should leave immediately.
Xu Ran stopped him, "It's not because of you, it's our own problem."
He looked at himself holding He Yuxuan's hand, and suddenly smiled, "It's disgusting, right? Men and men."
"No, not really," He Yuxuan hurriedly said, "Brother Xu, you are a good person."
Xu Ran was overjoyed, He Yuxuan blushed and defended, "Ah, it's not the good guy that the good guy got stuck in, or you're nice, it doesn't matter who you like to be with."
Xu Ran smiled and shook his head, wiping his face. He didn't look in the mirror, but Xu Ran knew that it looked ugly when he cried.
It must be the first time in He Yuxuan's life to comfort a man, the young man's ears were flushed with anxiety, and he couldn't think of any suitable words. Looking at his eager face, Xu Ran thought, even colleagues in the unit can say a little bit of "good" about him, why is he worthless when he comes to He Cheng
Maybe the one who falls in love first will always be the loser, but no matter what I do, it will take ten years, so no matter how bad it is, I have to give something in return.
He has never had a smooth sailing experience in his life, and his biggest regret is that he has devoted most of his schooling career to He Cheng, but he is willing. If asked now, he would still be willing.
But he also felt uneasy, why, could it be that he was destined to be so unbearable in this life, fell into He Cheng's hands, and would never be able to stand up again.
He just wants a safe and stable love, why is it so difficult.
He Yuxuan still cared about He Cheng's misunderstanding, "Why don't you call him back Brother Xu, let's have a face-to-face talk, and it would be good if the misunderstanding is resolved, right?"
Xu Ran looked blankly at the empty doorway, and said hoarsely, "No, he won't come again."
"..."
"We split."
As soon as the four words were uttered, Xu Ran's body seemed to lose all strength, and something slipped through his fingers, and he couldn't catch it even if he wanted to.
It turns out that the long period of struggling for so long can be declared to an end with such a simple sentence.
It's a little ridiculous, but I can't laugh.
He Yuxuan didn't have a good impression of He Cheng in the first place, and with Xu Ran's despair now, he almost blurted out "If we divide, we can find better ones", but the moment he saw Xu Ran's expression, he immediately dismissed it. this thought.
He had never seen such an expression. I have never seen it in anyone, despair, and with a detachment, as if Xu Ran's spirit no longer belongs to this world, only the body is left wandering.
Although he had never seen it before, He Yuxuan knew what this atmosphere meant.
Xu Ran still loves him.
I still love that man who misunderstood without authorization and refused to listen to explanations, who was arrogant and unreasonable.
The man patted his buttocks and walked quickly, but he may never know what kind of tragic wound he left in this dilapidated house of forty square meters.
In this cold air, it was Xu Ran's true heart that was bleeding and lingering.
There is only one in the world, if you get hurt or miss it, you can never go back.
