Chapter 38

He Cheng did not appear again as he said.

In fact, with his personality, being able to appear once is already the limit. Xu Ran has been waiting for him to send him a text message to tell him which flight to go back on which day, there is no room for negotiation.

But wait and wait, there is no news at all.

Xu Ran began to feel that he was being played.

Why must he go back, just because life is inconvenient? It seems that He Cheng is not someone who will compromise so soon.

If it wasn't forced by external forces, it would be hard for him to imagine that He Cheng would take the initiative to bow his head to him.

But who can force him to this point, the He family? Mai Xing? No matter which one, Xu Ran was not a match that he could handle. He Cheng definitely knew this.

The more Xu Ran thinks about it like this, the more he feels inexplicable, and the less he has expectations.

Probably just a whim, after all, people who have been by my side for so many years are gone, and they will feel unaccustomed after all.

Xu Ran didn't try to hide his disappointment. It's only been three or four months since we broke up, and it's nothing compared to the past ten years. It's normal to be disappointed. After all these years, when it comes to He Cheng, when will he not be disappointed

Liu Ming really had a big heart. After He Cheng left, he acted as if nothing had happened. He should eat and play, but Xu Ran felt sorry for him, after all, he brought his housework here. Perhaps out of concern for his mood, Liu Ming gave him a week off symbolically.

"Take a good rest," Liu Ming patted him on the shoulder, and said very generously, "If it's time to pass, let him pass."

Xu Ran laughed.

He calculated how long it would be before hearing news from He Cheng. ten days? Half a month? three months? a year? still…

Shaking his head, he didn't want to think about it any more.

The air in the city where He Cheng existed was so dirty that it was difficult for him to breathe. Xu Ran went out every night for a walk, from one end of the old alley to the other, and back again, over and over again until the sun set.

The summer night was sweltering and impetuous, and the surroundings were so quiet that there were few people around, so the black car parked at the entrance of the alley became particularly conspicuous.

Seeing that it was still early in the sky, Xu Ran went up and knocked on the window of the driver's seat.

The window fell down, revealing He Cheng's calm face.

"Give up." Xu Ran said lightly, "I won't go with you."

"Reason." Without outsiders, He Cheng returned to his previous domineering tone.

Xu Ran felt tired, "What more reason do you want, didn't you let me go?"

You said you broke up, you said you were bored, you said you were boring and childish, why are you going back on your word now

He Cheng narrowed his eyes, and there was a faint hint of danger in his eyes, "Do you like staying here?"

I feel more at ease anywhere than by your side. Xu Ran thought silently.

Seeing that he didn't answer, He Cheng thought it was acquiescence, and smiled in disbelief, "What can you get here?"

He can't guarantee the most basic things, food, drink and clothing, so he earns living expenses by teaching a student. He Cheng can be sure that now Xu Ran doesn't even have the money to buy a better coat.

The only thing is...

"You can't bear that man?"

As soon as the words came out, He Cheng was stunned. Xu Ran's face turned pale instantly as if he was jealous.

"When you see a man, do you think I have something to do with him?" Xu Ran said incredulously, "From He Yuxuan to Liu Ming, have you ever believed me once from the bottom of your heart?"

Really speechless, the man in front of me is used to branding things with his own brand, and then enclosing them in a fixed protection area, even for Xu Ran, he has a natural desire to monopolize him, as if saying a few words to others is betrayal . Because Xu Ran seldom made friends before, he didn't want to make He Cheng angry, but now he doesn't want to be used to He Cheng's bad habits anymore.

So what, so what, does it have anything to do with you

Xu Ran's attitude completely angered He Cheng, he slammed open the car door and almost knocked Xu Ran to the ground.

"You really fell in love with that man?" He Cheng said angrily, "What's so good about that foolish man? Are you following him so wholeheartedly?"

Xu Ran stared back at him without showing any weakness, "Liu Ming can't do it, but what about Bai Jinming, is he just playing around?"

He Cheng's body shook violently.

"You... you also have contact with Bai Jinming?"

"Yes, I have."

Although it's just an ordinary relationship through a phone call and a text message.

He Cheng was so shocked that he took two steps back, as if for the first time in his life, he carefully looked at this slender and crippled man.

After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "Okay, very good."

Xu Ran, you are really good.

Xu Ran ignored him, walked around the car and went home, closing the door firmly.

He Cheng stood by the roadside, silent for a long time.

As the sky gradually darkened, the street lamps flicked on, and rows of them quietly stretched from this end to the deep alleys in the distance, casting a soft light.

He looked towards the place where Xu Ran disappeared, and took out his cell phone.

"Why did you lie to me?"

Bai Jinming was at the dinner party. He had just been fed white wine, and his ears were buzzing, "What did you say?"

"Xu Ran. You still have contact with him."

Bai Jinming reacted for a while before saying, "Ah, yes."

"Why?" He Cheng's voice was emotionless.

Normally, Bai Jinming would definitely be able to tell that something was wrong with him, but now the restaurant was noisy, making Bai Jinming dizzy.

"Where is the reason?" Bai Jinming wondered, "So what if there is a connection?"

He Cheng looked at the stones on the ground and thought, yes, so what if there is a connection

In the past, when Xu Ran was annoying, he always left him to Bai Jinming. The two of them are also considered friends. Is there anything wrong with being in touch

What am I mad about

He Cheng was surprised by this angry self. He opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't say anything.

Bai Jinming got a little annoyed, and shouted at the top of his voice, "What do you want to do?"

"You have the face to ask me?" He Cheng retorted instinctively, "What contact can you have with him, and what are you talking about?"

Bai Jinming was silent for a long while, then suddenly asked, "He Cheng, are you jealous?"

"..."

He Cheng almost dropped the phone.

wrong. He grabbed his hair and tried to calm himself down, not following Xu Ran's words.

Whoever Xu Ran is with doesn't hinder his plan. If he wants to be recognized by his father and those elders, Xu Ran must go back with him. At least at this time, he can't act like he dumped someone after using him, otherwise he will be scolded behind his back for the rest of his life.

It doesn't matter, all he needs is this person named "Xu Ran". As for who Xu Ran's heart is on, he doesn't mind at all.

His heartbeat was so fast that it seemed to burst through his chest, He Cheng tried his best to suppress the discomfort in his heart, and kept suggesting to himself.

Don't mind, don't mind, don't mind.

Just a cripple, I don't care.

He let out a sigh of relief.

Before going to bed, Xu Ran received a text message, under the recited number was written: Come back, I will treat you well from now on.

Xu Ran also had a very good temper, so instead he thought of joking, lying on the bed and replying: What is your definition of "good"

They didn't speak for a long time.

Xu Ran smiled and put the phone under the pillow, thinking, how could this guy become so bad at telling lies.

Sitting in the car, He Cheng frowned at the rhetorical question.

In fact, he always felt that he was good enough to Xu Ran before. They have everything that should be in a lover's world, but there is a little less intimacy and doting, but this does not affect the good life he gave Xu Ran. If Xu Ran spent the 600,000 on himself, wouldn't his life be much more comfortable than now

Just like that, Xu Ran misunderstood that he had hurt his leg, bought a house behind his back, and brought outsiders there alone.

Xu Ran changed.

Specifically, He Cheng couldn't say, but he knew that Xu Ran had changed.

He is no longer that good lover who is obedient and obedient to He Cheng's words. Xu Ran has always been like that for ten years, but somehow, he changed.

He Cheng felt a little flustered.

At three o'clock in the morning, Xu Ran woke up from the dream again.

However, he had already slept very comfortably this time. He stretched himself and went to the window to look at the sleeping city scenery in the early morning.

At this glance, he saw a corner of the black car protruding from the alley.

He was indeed surprised, hesitated for a moment, took something from the drawer, and went out.

He Cheng curled up in the car and slept uncomfortably, Xu Ran gently knocked on the window to wake him up.

"What are you doing?" Xu Ran asked with a frown.

With a gloomy face, He Chengyin didn't answer this question, but just said, "Come back with me."

Xu Ran sighed, "Why are you doing this?"

Even if Joan can't be found, there will always be someone who is willing to love him, and there will be more beautiful people who are better than himself and more beautiful than him, and they will fall into his arms. Why does he torture himself like this

It has to be said that the moment he saw He Cheng's tired expression, he felt a little distressed.

Maybe he really wants to get back together? Although I don't know why, there is always a 1 in 10,000 chance that they will change their minds. What if this 1 in 10,000 really falls on their heads

Can they really live a good life together as He Cheng said

This is indeed something Xu Ran could not ask for.

Xu Ran squeezed the things in the palm of his hand, letting the edges and corners sting himself. Pain woke him up.

He had to make sure he wouldn't be hurt again.

"You... Do you have any difficulties?"

Without using interrogative sentences, Xu Ran fixedly looked into He Cheng's eyes, trying to see some dodge or hesitation.

He Cheng was stunned for a moment, and asked back, "Why do you say that?"

Xu Ran trembled. Which means, there is.

He Cheng, who had never slept in the car before, was hit by the wind and had a severe headache. He rubbed his temples and said in a low voice, "That guy Mai Xing always wants to take money from me. He preached about you very much, and I Dad's side... it's not easy."

He tried to sell miserably, "Now I have no job in my hand. My dad said that he must treat you well, otherwise he will not let me go back. Help me, and I will give you whatever you want when you go back."

Xu Ran's palms were in severe pain, and his fingertips were sticky and hot, as if his skin had been punctured and bleeding.

now it's right.

He was wrong again.

He Cheng felt that he was very sincere, "Xu Ran, you were kind to me before, I know, you can help me again when you come back."

You used to be nice to me, I know it all.

You help me one more time.

Xu Ran turned his head suddenly, not to let He Cheng see the despair in his eyes.

He walked out on crutches, step by step, not knowing where he was going.

He Cheng chased him and called him, "Xu Ran, where are you going?"

It's also strange that a healthy person can't catch up with a cripple.

There was a distance of two meters between the two, one in front of the other, Xu Ran looked straight ahead, as if he wanted to walk to the end of the world.

Looking at his swaying back, He Cheng's heart suddenly trembled.

"Xu Ran!" He tried to stop, "I won't force you, just stop!"

Don't listen, keep going.

"Xu Ran, stop!"

In the dark street corner without street lights, Xu Ran completely ignored the man who was getting more and more anxious behind him, and walked forward on his own.

Two dazzling lights suddenly shone from the corner.

In just two seconds, He Cheng saw Xu Ran's body suddenly stopped, and he looked towards the direction of the light.

Then turned around and gave him a smile.

Horns, brakes, muffled sounds.

Eyes are bright red.

The author has something to say: the plot is decided long ago
