Pei Ran's heart beat fast, but he couldn't tell whether it was because Luo Qingshan was kissing someone else, or the fiery temperature left on his eyelids.
"What do you want to do?" Yan Zhun asked him by pulling him to the wall, which was also the blind spot for Luo Qingshan and the others.
Under the dim light, Pei Ran's face was extremely red, and his skin was white, which would change significantly when he was hot or nervous.
Pei Ran said in a daze: "What?"
"Catch the rape," Yan Zhun said, "or go?"
Pei Ran never thought that one day he would be associated with the word "catch an adulterer".
He finally came back to his senses, opened his mouth stiffly, and took a long time to say, "Forget it... let's go."
Today is Luo Qingshan's birthday, and with so many friends present, Pei Ran didn't want to make too much trouble.
Strictly: "Okay."
Back at the door of the box, Pei Ran lowered his head just as he was about to go in, but Yan Zhun suddenly turned around and said, "You are waiting for me here, I'll go in and tell Lin Kang."
Pei Ran looked at him blankly.
Yan Zhun asked very naturally, "Don't you want to go?"
So Pei Ran waited quietly outside the door for a while, and he even thought about what to say if he ran into Luo Qingshan and Su Nian head-on.
But Luo Qingshan didn't come back until Yan Jun came out of the box.
Yan Zhun came out, holding his coat in his hand: "Let's go."
After walking out of the KTV, Pei Ran was completely recovered by the cold wind in the middle of the night.
Pei Ran lowered his head and scratched his hair, taking a deep breath.
Yan Zhun glanced over his expression, pursed his lips several times, and asked, "Do you want to cry?"
Pei Ran said, "I don't want to."
"You look like you're going to cry."
Pei Ran didn't want to cry, but he was indeed a little confused.
He said, "I'm fine, thank you for coming out with me, I'll treat you to a cup of milk tea."
There happened to be a milk tea shop next to them, and Pei Ran thought that after buying the milk tea, they could leave each other. What happened tonight had a big impact on him, and he had to spend a little time digesting it.
Yan Zhun said: "It's too sweet, don't drink it."
Pei Ran nodded: "Then I will first..."
"Coffee instead," Yan Zhun said. "The one across the street is hand-grinded."
…
Yan Zhun and the owner of the coffee shop seem to be friends, and the two have been chatting at the bar for a long time.
Pei Ran sat alone in his seat, his eyes drifting aimlessly out of the window.
The clunk of the cup touching the table grabbed his attention.
"I didn't let him make it too sweet." Yan Jin sat down.
"Thank you." After Pei Ran finished speaking, he found that he seemed to have been saying thank you to Yan Zhun all this time, "Do you know the boss?"
"Well, my friend, a few years older than us." Yan Zhun said, "I met you through games."
Pei Ran didn't know if he had listened carefully, but just nodded.
He took a sip of coffee, bitter and sweet, and it was indeed much better than those sweet milk teas.
After a moment, he put down the cup: "You know this for a long time?"
Strictly stirring the coffee: "No, I'm not familiar with them."
Not familiar but coming to a birthday party
Pei Ran only regarded it as a cover up between brothers, and he pulled the corner of his mouth: "Well."
Pei Ran caught a glimpse of the tissue at hand, which Yan Zhun had just brought, and pushed it towards him along with the coffee.
Pei Ran couldn't help but said, "I really don't want to cry."
"Well." Yan Zhun asked, "Is the coffee bitter?"
The topic changed too quickly, and Pei Ran paused before answering: "It's a bit, but it's delicious."
Strictly took out a candy from his pocket and put it in front of Pei Ran.
Big White Rabbit Toffee, Pei Ran's favorite toffee, he had to keep a few by his computer.
"You can change anything out of your pocket." Pei Ran peeled off the candy and put it in his mouth, without saying thank you, the moment the milk candy touched the taste buds, Pei Ran's mood was relieved a lot.
It's a pity that he didn't relax for a long time when the phone rang, it was Luo Qingshan calling.
Pei Ran looked down for a few seconds, then hung up. But Luo Qingshan didn't give up, and then called two more times, but Pei Ran still didn't answer. Finally, after the fifth call was pinched off, Luo Qingshan didn't call again.
Just as Pei Ran was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the phone turned on again, this time from Lin Kang.
Pei Ran hesitated for a while, but picked it up.
"Pei Ran, where are you?" Lin Kang's voice was noisy, and he should be still in the box, "Hey! Turn off the music first, I'm on the phone with Pei Ran!"
Pei Ran didn't answer the question: "Is something wrong?"
Lin Kang was stunned for a moment: "Ah, yes... Luo Qingshan is drunk and has been looking for you."
On the other side, Luo Qingshan was drowsy leaning on the sofa, he straightened his back suddenly, and threw himself on Lin Kang: "Pei Ran? My baby? Where is Pei Ran? Pei Ran... Why didn't you answer my call? "
Lin Kang smiled and scolded swear words: "This, this, call you, you can say it yourself."
Pei Ran was caught off guard and got on the phone with Luo Qingshan.
"Baby? Baby?" Luo Qingshan called out twice, then raised his phone and squinted to see that he was on the phone, "Pei Ran, please take care of me."
Luo Qingshan's alcohol intake has always been poor, listening to his tone, it seems that he is not too drunk.
There was nothing to talk about with the drunk, Pei Ran sighed softly: "You are drunk."
"I know..." Luo Qingshan said vaguely, "I know, I'm drunk, you're not happy, I won't drink next time... Baby, come and take me back."
In the background sound, Pei Ran heard the people around Luo Qingshan booing, and Lin Kang shouted to record Luo Qingshan's drunken state.
Pei Ran patiently said, "I'm not going back, you let Lin Kang answer the phone."
"Why?" Luo Qingshan said drunkenly, "No, if you don't come back, I will die."
The background sound became louder and louder, making Pei Ran a headache.
He didn't want to let other people see jokes, so he could only say softly: "Are you obedient?"
Strictly put his hands in his pockets and leaned back on the chair to look at him.
Luo Qingshan thought for a while: "Listen."
"Then give Lin Kang your phone." Pei Ran said, "Be good."
Finally, Lin Kang got the phone back, and Pei Ran explained to him that he would not go back tonight, hoping that Lin Kang could help bring him back to the dormitory.
When he hung up the phone, he heard Luo Qingshan calling his name.
"Good?" Yan Zhun picked up the corner of his mouth sarcastically, "Are you coaxing a child?"
Pei Ran said, "A drunkard is no different from a child."
"It's very different," Yan Zhun said coolly. "Children won't cheat."
Pei Ran frowned lightly, not sure if it was his delusion, but he felt that his strict tone changed after he finished the phone call.
Although Yan Zun is right, saying this at this time is tantamount to tearing Pei Ran's wound.
Pei Ran twitched the corners of his mouth: "Yes."
The phone on the table suddenly vibrated, and it was the voice from Luo Qingshan.
Pei Ran clicked on the voice, because it was too late to put it in his ears, most of the words were released publicly, which were all illogical nonsense.
The key is that behind Luo Qingshan's voice, there is also Su Nian's voice faintly mixed, the words "brother" are called intimately and sticky, and it sounds like the two are very close.
"What is it now?" Yan Zhun said, "A child who can't find a toy?"
Many cheated people like to talk to their friends about their experiences, and are eager to hear their friends complain and help themselves.
But Pei Ran is not. He doesn't like showing his wounds to others. He is used to digesting and relieving by himself.
And in a strict metaphor, he's a toy. Although it may be strict and quick, and it is not a big deal in normal times, Pei Ran is still a little resistant in this case.
He suddenly remembered that he was not familiar with Yan Zhun, not even an ordinary friend.
"Maybe." Pei Ran put away the phone and got up, "It's very late, then I'll go back first and talk later, thank you for helping me tonight."
Pei Ran went to the front desk to pay the bill, the boss handed him the invoice, and Pei Ran stuffed it into his pocket.
He pushed open the door of the coffee shop, and only took two steps when he heard the wind chime on the door of the coffee shop ringing again, followed by someone grabbing his arm.
Yan Zhun's palm was very hot, and Pei Ran was taken aback by him.
"I'm sorry." Yan Zhun still had a cold face, but what he said was admitting his mistake, "I said the wrong thing."
Pei Ran blinked, confused by him: "It's alright, no need to apologize..."
Strictly grabbed all the white rabbit toffee from his pocket and put them all into Pei Ran's palm.
"These are all for you," he said. "Don't be angry."
Pei Ran returned to the dormitory and emptied all the toffee in his pocket next to the computer.
The roommate heard the sound, looked back and smiled: "The big white rabbit has fallen and sold it in bulk?"
"No, it was given by someone else."
The roommate gave a long "Oh": "Why is Luo Qingshan so stubborn, I bought a few for you."
Pei Ran is not keen on showing affection. Usually, when his roommate mentions Luo Qingshan, he is worried that the topic will expand indefinitely, and he will perfunctory him.
He walked to the bathroom with his pajamas and explained, "It wasn't him, it was given by another friend."
"That's right, I'm going out for the night tonight." The corners of the roommate's mouth were almost grinning, "Today Luo Qingshan's birthday, I thought you weren't coming back."
Pei Ran smiled and said nothing.
After taking a shower, the roommate had already left, and Pei Ran lay on the bed, only to find that the screen of the phone was swiped by the message.
Luo Qingshan sent him countless voice messages, some long and some short, and several emojis.
When Luo Qingshan was drunk, he was different from others. Others fell asleep, but he became more and more energetic.
Pei Ran swiped the screen at will, but didn't want to open a single voice.
He didn't want to hear Luo Qingshan's voice or Su Nian's voice, he wanted to sleep peacefully tonight.
Pei Ran exited the chat box and was about to close WeChat when he saw a big "1" on the friend icon.
[Appropriate request to add you as a friend, additional message: strict]
Surrounded by friends who knew each other, Pei Ran didn't delve into where his WeChat ID came from, just clicked to pass the verification, and changed his remarks.
[Strict: [Voice]]
Under the light of the phone, Pei Ran pursed his lips and opened the two-second voice.
"Don't be angry, go to bed early."
Yan Zhun's voice was low and deep, mixed with some water sounds, he should be taking a bath.
Pei Ran suddenly felt amused, it was obviously Luo Qingshan's derailment, how could Yan Zhun keep admitting his mistakes.
Besides... Strictly didn't do anything wrong.
[Pei Ran: I'm not angry, you also go to bed earlier.]
the other side. Standing strictly under the shower head, read the message several times.
