Back home, Xu Ran stuffed the tie clip into the bottom drawer of the bedside table. Push it very inside, and then cover it with other items, so as not to accidentally see it when you open the cabinet to get things in the future.
Even if He Cheng didn't need it anymore, he couldn't bear to throw it away. Something less than 20,000 yuan, it hurts just to look at it.
Pushing the cabinet up, there was a dull sound of wood hitting, Xu Ran sat on the bed with his back arched, his posture slumped.
Joan Joan, Joan who will always stand taller than him, Joan who he will never be able to match.
Qiao An was a school girl in high school, and was in the same class as He Cheng. Xu Ran was in the same school as them but in different classes, Xu Ran was in the ordinary class, and the two of them were top students in the fast class.
Qiao An is good-looking, so good-looking that even the boys think he is a well-deserved school girl. Good family background, good looks, good study, and good personality. Joan is a collection of all advantages, but those who have come into contact with him are impressed by his personality charm on the one hand, and on the other hand, they will involuntarily spoil him. Girls think he is an unattainable Prince Charming, while boys think he is a lovely person who needs to be protected.
But the school is always a bit thorny, not everyone likes Joan's high-spirited appearance. Back then, there were a group of gangsters in their school who did nothing serious all day long and only made trouble for others. Joan doesn't like to be always followed by a driver to and from school, and sometimes it's easy to get entangled when she walks by herself.
At this time, He Cheng was the knight who rescued him.
Xu Ran met him twice, He Cheng knocked down the punks, Qiao An stood aside, smiled and said to He Cheng, "You are so handsome."
Seventeen-year-old He Cheng smiled like a young man who had just begun to fall in love, his usual heroic energy didn't know where he went, he just knew how to be happy. Qiao An also laughed, and even Xu Ran was moved by that look.
The first time He Cheng was still very reserved and left without saying a few words. The second time we met after half a year, Xu Ran saw He Cheng hugged Qiao An into his arms after the fight, and said, " Be my man, and I will protect you in the future."
Then go kiss him.
That was He Cheng's first kiss, Xu Ran knew it. He also knew that Joan had decided to accept the kiss long ago. They are a match made in heaven.
At that time, Xu Ran wore glasses, and his appearance was not delicate, but ordinary. He tugged his glasses down hard, blurring his vision with the edge of the frame.
He studies well, but no matter how good he is, he can't get into the fast class full of rich kids, and he can't attract He Cheng's attention.
He is like a piece of gravel, so small and dusty, it can be stepped on easily.
The only thing he can do is to make himself less painful.
Once you get used to it, it won't hurt anymore.
After so many years, he thought that Joan would not come back, after all, he was a person who made up his mind to do it. Maybe it's because of some changes in life abroad, people come back when they want, it has nothing to do with Xu Ran.
Back then, it seemed that Qiao An was the one who broke up first. When he comes back this time, is he going to reconnect with He Cheng
Xu Ran didn't dare to think about it.
If so, then he has absolutely no chance of winning. He Cheng would give him a lot of money and the house, and then delete his contact information without hesitation.
When will it take He Cheng to understand that what he wants when he is with him is not his money at all.
Xu Ran tilted his body, fell on the bed, and buried his face in the pillow.
so tired.
What was supposed to be a celebratory date, why was it so tiring
I have never been so tired before, it must be because I didn't perform well.
It's just that he didn't behave well, and he couldn't think of an answer for a while.
Living in a daze, pretending that there is no such thing as Joan, it will soon be the weekend again. Xu Ran was about to go to bed on Thursday night when he received a call from He Cheng.
"You haven't come home yet?" It started with a rebuke.
Xu Ran was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask when he could go back to live, and then he simply forgot about it.
He could only ask in a low voice, "Can I go back?"
"That's your house, why do you still need to ask me?" Over there, He Cheng seemed to be in a bad mood, and his tone was tingly, "Come back tomorrow, don't be greedy for the hotel's service, and be careful that you don't have enough money for yourself. "
"I didn't... Then I'll go back tomorrow night, are you coming?"
Half of the words were swallowed abruptly. Can't let He Cheng know that he has his own residence, this is his last line of defense.
He Cheng was silent for a while, as if he was recalling the schedule, and then said, "Back, early in the morning, you are ready."
You are ready, which means until dawn. He Cheng gets excited when he drinks, and he especially likes to make troubles.
It's nothing to toss, but Xu Ran really can't bear some places.
He whispered, "Can you...not tie your right leg?"
He Chengle laughed, "Is there still a condition?"
"No, I'm just..."
It's just very painful, very painful, and the right knee is still swollen after the last time. He couldn't struggle on the bed, and when he struggled, He Cheng tied him even tighter, but if he didn't struggle, the angle of the straps would make him pass out from pain.
He Cheng ignored him and hung up.
Xu Ran stared blankly at the screen saver of his phone, and put his other hand on his knee. His knees were cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The year of the injury was seventeen years old, the last sports meeting before he was promoted to the third grade. Xu Ran's class is next door to Qiao An He Cheng's, Qiao An is a cheerleader, and so is Xu Ran. He desperately begged the monitor to let him be a cheerleader, because the cheerleaders can prepare behind the class, and with Qiao An around, He Cheng will definitely follow.
This is the moment when he and He Cheng are the closest.
Carefully staying in the place closest to the next class, Joan stood beside him and gave him a friendly smile. Xu Ran also smiled, feeling very nervous.
He Cheng finished the 100 meters, so he took the first place as a matter of course.
Xu Ran sat there, eyes full of He Cheng's approaching figure. The steps went up step by step, and Xu Ran was trembling when he was about to reach the height they were at. Seeing He Cheng smiling at Qiao An, he suddenly looked over as if he had spotted his gaze.
Xu Ran got up in a hurry, with a lot of movement, Qiao An staggered and fell from the top of the steps.
Xu Ran was dumbfounded, but He Cheng reacted quickly and wanted to hug him. But there were all people sitting around, and he couldn't stretch his movements, so Qiao An just brushed past his arm and fell to the ground.
The scene was chaotic.
Xu Ran stood where he was, with panicked figures of several classes in front of him, and buzzing in his ears. After a long time, someone finally noticed this side, a boy pointed at him and said, "He hit it!"
All eyes were cast on Xu Ran, and Xu Ran didn't move or refute, so more people said, "He hit it, why was he so careless?"
"Aren't you here to apologize? It's so rude, is it on purpose?"
"Don't you know it's dangerous to fall from such a height? Why don't you try to fall!"
"Come down!"
With so many gazes, classmates, teachers, and those who don't know each other, all have disgust and contempt in their eyes.
Xu Ran walked down the steps numbly, and said to Qiao An who was fixing his right foot, "I'm sorry."
Joan waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "No, you didn't hit it, it was me who accidentally slipped my foot. Don't blame others."
Xu Ran wanted to say yes, the two of them didn't bump into each other just now, but the words turned into, "I'm sorry."
He Cheng squatted beside Qiao An, his face was very ugly, he gave him a hard look, but said to his classmates, "The two didn't run into each other just now, it wasn't him."
One asked, "Did you see that?"
"Yes." He Cheng said, "I saw it."
Xu Ran was a little surprised, more grateful, and wanted to say thank you to He Cheng, but He Cheng didn't even look at him.
Both the parties and He Cheng said so, and Xu Ran's suspicion was cleared, but when he returned to the class team, there were still whispers around him.
This kind of thing is like this, Xu Ran knew that if Qiao An and He Cheng didn't talk about it, things would only get worse. He is grateful to both of them.
But when he was walking alone on the road after school, he was suddenly carried into a small alley by three people.
Those three people wore the same school uniform as him, Xu Ran knew them, and they had troubled Joan before.
The three of them didn't say anything, they pressed him directly, one of them grabbed his right leg, pressed his knee, and clicked.
Xu Ran felt that his head had been broken, and he was stunned and didn't feel any pain. They were all in pain.
A few days later, when he limped back to the classroom, the discussion stopped early. Everyone's life is the same, but Xu Ran no longer has to go to physical education class.
The family called the police, but there was no surveillance in the alley, and no one could see who was approaching him from behind. Xu Ran originally told the police, but those three people denied it categorically, and there was no evidence. One of them also said that Xu Ran's grades were good and he was not used to them dawdling, and retaliated against them.
Retaliation, what am I retaliating against? Xu Ran is very confused, are you taking revenge for not handing in your homework every day
The case was settled, and then one day Xu Ran stayed in school on duty, left late, and saw He Cheng talking to those three people in the small garden of the school.
That's it.
Looking at their figures, Xu Ran thought very calmly, so it was like this.
The knight protected the prince from the evil wizard and made the villain pay for his blood.
What a beautiful story.
On Friday, Xu Ran went back to He Cheng's house, and saw that the house had already been tidied up by the part-time workers, so he knew that Bai Jinming was among the people who had borrowed before. Bai Jinming was the only one who would help him clean the room after the carnival. Although it was just a phone call for housekeeping, it was already a rare kindness for Xu Ran.
Cooked a meal, took a shower, and cleaned myself from the inside out. He Cheng is too lazy to clean up the foreplay, he has to do it himself every time.
At one o'clock in the morning, He Cheng came back.
There is no TV drama where Bai Yueguang hugged him, but when Xu Ran went to serve the hangover soup, he saw He Cheng take out his mobile phone and type softly.
He is telling someone that he is safe.
Before Xu Ran could figure it out, he was suddenly dragged into the room.
He Cheng took off his tie, shook it in front of him, his face was a little angry because of drinking, "You don't want this?"
Xu Ran was a little scared, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
"Don't want it?" He Cheng straightened up and grabbed his right ankle. Xu Ran shivered.
He Cheng's hands are big, Xu Ran is thin, and the whole ankle is wrapped in the slightly warm palm. He Cheng pulled down, Xu Ran quickly followed, not daring to put force on his knees.
Then he was horrified to see He Cheng put the tie on.
"The tie is no good, it's too short!" Xu Ran struggled. If the tie is short, the buckle will be short, and there will be less room for him to move, and he may not even be able to move.
He Cheng frowned slightly, dissatisfied with his lack of cooperation, and said, "Shut up."
Xu Ran fell silent for a moment, his eyes turned red.
He Cheng slowly tied the other side of the tie to the end of the bed, leaving a little room for movement, then leaned forward and spread his legs, saying, "It's useless if you don't want it, just let me take it."
