As if confirming Xu Ran's words, on the second day, Mu Ran stopped eating.

In the past, when my aunt made a meal and brought people to the dining table, he would pick up the bowls and chopsticks by himself. Although his appetite was very small, people still had the consciousness of eating anyway. But this time after he sat down, he just stared blankly at the table full of dishes, without making any movements with his hands. The auntie continued to persuade him a few words, but seeing that he still didn't respond, she raised her head to look at Yi Tian nervously.

"You go back first."

Auntie looked at the table full of food hesitantly, Yi Tian could see what she was worried about, "I will clean up these." Auntie nodded, took off her apron and left.

When the people left, the atmosphere in the room became tense, Yi Tian looked at Mu Ran with a cold face, slowly clenched his fingers, and the veins on the back of his hands burst out. He suppressed the irritability in his heart, losing his temper depends on the person, if it was the former Mu Ran, he would be panicked, afraid and submissive. But the lifeless person sitting across from him now, even if he overturned the table and punched someone, he wouldn't give him the slightest reaction.

After a stalemate like this for a long time, Yi Tiancai took out his cell phone and dialed Xu Ran's number. There was no sound after connecting, Yi Tian rubbed his brows and said: "He refuses to eat, come and have a look tomorrow." Xu Ran snorted coldly, and Yi Tian continued: "Bring the medicine here." Without waiting Xu Ran answered and hung up the phone.

Time passed by, and the steaming dishes on the dining table cooled slightly. Yi Tian stood up abruptly, threw the phone on the table, frowned and went to sit next to Mu Ran with a serious face, turned the man around to face him a little rudely, picked up a fish roll with his chopsticks, and placed it on the table. On the edge of Mu Ran's mouth, his tone was a bit cold and authentic: "Open your mouth."

Mu Ran blinked his eyes, his eyeballs moved, but when he met Shang Yi Tian's gaze, his eyes were dull, and he didn't respond in any way. Yi Tian didn't get angry, just took a light breath, and repeated patiently, "Open your mouth." His voice was no longer so stiff.

After repeatedly persuading and emphasizing it several times, Mu Ran finally opened his mouth obediently and swallowed the fish roll.

Yi Tian looked at his slightly agitated cheeks as he chewed slowly, and felt that the softest part of his heart seemed to be scratched by someone.

This experience was really novel. Since he was a child, so many people surrounded him, and everyone around him turned pale with shock at the slightest ailment. How could he take care of others, let alone feed them. The Mu Ran in front of him is so fragile that he has no one else to rely on. Without his care, he wouldn't even know how to eat, and he might not be able to live for a minute without him. I don't know why this kind of cognition touched Yi Tian's heart.

Just feeding one to the other, Yi Tian even helped Mu Ran wipe off the vegetable juice that accidentally got on his mouth. If Yi Tian's brothers were there, their eyes would probably pop out, even if they were beaten to death, they wouldn't believe that Young Master Yi, who had always been indifferent and impatient, would still feed people.

Mu Ran didn't eat much, and Yi Tian didn't force him, and put down the bowl after seeing that people stopped opening their mouths. He hadn't eaten yet, and the food was almost cold at this time, so he didn't care, and ate some casually.

Later, the potted plants sent by Yi Tian arrived. He was busy for a long time and was not in the mood. Now that he is free, he wants to add something to the glass greenhouse.

Today's weather is fine, the sun is warm and the sun is not shining on people, Yi Tian opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, led Mu Ran into the glass greenhouse, took the people to sit, and then rolled up his sleeves and started to organize the potted plants.

There is a varnished log bookshelf against the wall of the greenhouse, and the other sides are clean and transparent glass windows, under which there are various beautiful potted plants. Mu Ran was sitting next to the bookshelf, beside him was a green radish that was hanging down to the ground on the wrought iron flower stand. The sunlight hit him through the zenith, making his whole body dyed with a soft halo.

It's just that he sat silently all the time without moving, his fingers curled up stiffly on his knees, his eyes staring blankly into the distance, his lips were so pale that there was no blood in them, in such a place full of vitality, he was like a Decaying statues are so out of place.

Yi Tian turned around to look at him occasionally, and only turned his head to continue the movement when he saw that he was still sitting quietly.

Su Wenyang came at this time, holding a thick leather bag in his hand. Yi Tian made him a cup of coffee and fed Mu Ran some water before sitting down and asking, "Have you checked?"

Su Wenyang put the cowhide bag on the table and pushed it in front of him, "Everything I can find is here. I also passed it on to Miss Xu Ran."

Yi Tian nodded, and he was not in a hurry to open it, but just ordered: "Next week, there will be a batch of Dehua red-glazed porcelain at the Cultural Expo in City G. You can go and have a look, and you can take it away." Hua Porcelain is very active. Although it cannot be compared with Jingdezhen Porcelain, which can easily cost hundreds of millions of yuan, the collection value has a lot of room for growth.

Su Wenyang responded, "A group of people have already passed by, and I will leave in two days." After a pause, he continued: "There is a reception at Lu's house tomorrow night..."

Yi Tian lowered his eyes, reached out to pick up the leather bag, and said lightly: "Push it."

Su Wenyang froze for a moment, and then returned to his expressionless face, "Got it." Since Yi Tian took Mu Ran home until now, he has hardly attended any activities, except that he has more contact with He Xudong and Xu Ran He didn't go out with other friends either, and several people had already called him. However, this is Yi Tian's private matter, and he won't talk too much if he shouldn't.

Yi Tian opened the bag, took out a thick stack of papers and looked carefully with his brows furrowed. Su Wenyang stopped talking, got up and left wisely. Before leaving, he looked at the person who had been sitting beside Yi Tian without saying a word since he came in, thinking about the things he found these days, he felt a little sympathy for the always indifferent person.

Yi Tian kept looking down at the things in his hands, and he didn't notice when Su Wenyang left.

Mu Ran can't communicate with people like this now, and Yi Tian doesn't know him well, Xu Ran can't arrange future treatment without detailed information, so she asked Yi Tian to find out what Mu Ran could find from a young age. Find them all.

Mu Ran was born in a small county town in this city. He was abandoned by his parents in the hospital when he was just born, and was later sent to an orphanage in the county.

The orphanage was built by a local retired old man with his life savings. The conditions are not very good, and even the daily maintenance is somewhat difficult. He was adopted three times, and the third time he encountered a violent couple who were often abused. It was also in the newspapers at the time, and it was reported that the hostess of the house often tied his hands to the railing of the balcony, whipped him with a hanger through his clothes, and forbade him to cry out in pain, and he was not allowed to eat or drink as long as he made a sound. Ready to go to school.

The orphanage is small and privately run, unlike those of the state's formal nature, there will be follow-up investigations, and he was abused and left alone. At first, there were neighbors around to persuade me a few words, and then everyone sighed pitifully, and then turned around to do what to do. There was also one time when the beating was so severe that the neighbors saw him covered in blood and worried about his life, so they called the police.

He was too old when he was sent back to the orphanage, and no one wanted to adopt him. But Mu Ran has always been very competitive. Generally, the children in the orphanage leave at the age of 14, but he has been studying. Because of his good grades, the middle and high schools exempted his tuition fees.

He kept these in mind, calculated the tuition fees after work and sent them back to these schools, and wrote a thank you letter. It's just a pity that the orphanage couldn't continue because of funding, and the old man passed away long ago. The people Mu Ran wanted to repay were also lost.

If he hadn't met Yi Tian, maybe he would have been working so hard and earnestly to live, maybe he could have met a kind girl who really loved him, maybe he would have a lovely child, maybe he would have a happy family.

There are so many possibilities, but time never allows them to exist.

In fact, a person like him doesn't know how to take medicine and take pictures. He was also a gangster who worked with him in the supermarket and often hung out in bars. He accidentally learned of his pranks after the incident and encouraged him. Even the medicine was given by this person.

It was the first time he fell in love with a person. He devoted all the expectations and desires that he had suppressed in his heart since he was a child and never dared to show it to this person. Such strong feelings burned all his reason. I can't even see it, and I just did something wrong in a daze.

It was the only wrong thing he did in his life. Although this matter is so filthy, there is a sincere heart hidden in the deepest part of the filth.

In this world, he only had himself, and later he lost himself, and he really had nothing.
