"Huh-"

Xia Ran stared at the phone screen and sneered, then dropped the phone and turned into the bathroom.

In the evening, Chaoyun called everyone to have dinner together in the restaurant.

Because it is almost the end of the month, and it is December again, such a day is placed at the end of the year, which seems to be a bit solemn.

Ruan Mianmian didn't have much to think about, but it was indeed a little boring to nest in the room alone for a day.

Just when she went downstairs, Ruan Mianmian met Yin Yuexin, and seeing her bored, Ruan Mianmian asked her if she wanted to go to dinner together.

As soon as Yin Yuexin heard that there was an opportunity to eat and drink, she agreed without saying a word.

Ruan Mianmian took Yin Yuexin downstairs together, and when she arrived at the dining table, she was glad that she had brought Yin Yuexin down.

Except for Xia Ran and Chaoyun, the others Ruan Mianmian basically didn't know each other, and there was not a single little girl of the same age.

Fortunately, now with Yin Yuexin as her companion, Ruan Mianmian will not feel too embarrassed.

Ruan Mianmian was not in high spirits all night, but Yin Yuexin was a self-acquaintance.

Not long after the table was served, she was able to talk to the others.

A group of people are chatting about each other, and it seems that the relationship is very familiar.

In fact, it's just the love of meeting two glasses of wine.

Ruan Mianmian ate the food silently, listening to Yin Yuexin chatting with them, which felt quite comfortable.

Xia Ran sat next to Ruan Mianmian.

He probably knew that Ruan Mianmian was emotional, so he didn't say anything, but occasionally put Ruan Mianmian with a few more chopsticks and quietly stopped in front of her.

It's also considerate.

Ruan Mianmian didn't seem to realize that the whole person's face had always been pale and there were no ups and downs.

Occasionally, Chaoyun would say a few words to her, but they were all polite.

Ruan Mianmian finished speaking, and continued to eat by herself.

During the whole scene, everyone else was drinking and talking about the mountains, but only Ruan Mianmian was really full.

The table was bustling, and people drank and talked and played, and became more unscrupulous.

Ruan Mianmian smelled the smell of wine on the table, wrinkled her eyebrows quietly, excused herself to go to the bathroom, and then slipped out the door to breathe.

The night in the town is very quiet and quiet, and you can occasionally hear a few distant dog barks, but other than that, it is a little quiet.

The lights are ethereal and the stars are twinkling overhead, but it is a beautiful scenery with a unique taste.

Ruan Mianmian squatted by the wall, feeling a little emotional for a while.

She missed Jiang Ce.

In fact, after Ruan Mianmian was brought here by Xia Ran, Xia Ran's surveillance of her was not very strict.

If you really want to escape, you can take advantage of it.

But Ruan Mianmian knew that this place was 108,000 miles away from Jiangcheng, and even if she escaped from this homestay, she might not be able to escape Xia Ran's control.

At that time, if he is caught, the situation may change drastically from what he is now.

Therefore, she tried her best to pretend to be obedient during this time, trying to play the image of a well-behaved and lovely sister, and taking advantage of Xia Ran's soft-heartedness to earn enough space for herself to survive.

Xia Ran did love her, although all of this was Xia Qing's.

But Ruan Mianmian could only feel lucky.

She wanted to wait for the end of the month that Xia Ran said, maybe she would really be able to meet Jiang Ce again.

This place is isolated from the world, Xia Ran can put her here so reassuringly, presumably completely prepared.

Or, maybe Xia Ran was confident enough, he knew that Jiang Ce would not find here.

Ruan Mianmian didn't want to do anything useless, and the only way at the moment was to be obedient and wait for the opportunity.

So, when she stood alone on this strange street, she had nothing to do but miss.

Ruan Mianmian lowered her head and fiddled with her fingertips, which were empty.

She put away the ring that Jiang Ce gave her, she was afraid that if something happened, she would lose the ring.

But she couldn't help but touch her ring finger, as if she could feel the touch of the ring.

Make her feel close.

When Xia Ran walked out of the hall, he saw this scene.

It was dark outside, and there was only half of the light pouring out of the hall on the wall.

Ruan Mianmian's body was divided into light and dark by the light, her head was lowered, and her long hair slipped down the sides of her cheeks, and the emotions on her face could not be seen.

But Xia Ran felt that her figure looked full of sadness and depression.

He pursed his lips, wanting to go up and talk to her, but he was afraid to disturb her.

Because, Ruan Mianmian's state at the moment is very familiar to Xia Ran.

She must have been thinking about someone.

Therefore, Xia Ran didn't step forward, just stood at the door and stared at her quietly.

Ruan Mianmian's small body, bending his arms and holding his legs, squatted in the corner of the wall for a long time.

And Xia Ran stared at her silently for a long time.

In fact, Ruan Mianmian could sense Xia Ran's existence, but she just thought that Xia Ran was afraid that she would escape, so she would stare at her here.

I don't know how long it took, Ruan Mianmian's body shook, and her heels were a little numb because of squatting for a long time.

She leaned against the wall and slowly got up, and finally put a touch of warmth on her arm.

Xia Ran came over and grabbed her arm.

After Ruan Mianmian stood firm, he pulled his arm out of his palm.

Xia Ran didn't speak, and took two steps back to himself, widening the distance between the two.

"Xiao Qing'er. ”

Xia Ran looked at Ruan Mianmian and called out the title again.

Ruan Mianmian was a little dazed, and for a while she didn't know whether Xia Ran was more pitiful or she herself was more pitiful.

Obviously, she is the one who is controlled by others, but Xia Ran is too deep into the play.

She was used as Xia Qing's stand-in, even if Xia Ran already understood that this could not mean anything, he was still willing.

Ruan Mianmian thought he was sick.

His thoughts about Xia Qing have tended to be a bit morbid obsession.

But she can't say much, because Xia Ran is indeed a good brother.

Ruan Mianmian breathed a long sigh of relief, she looked up at Xia Ran and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Ran looked into her eyes, and his eyes wanted to look at another person.

He hooked his lips and smiled, "Call brother." ”

Ruan Mianmian obediently repeated, "Brother." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xia Ran was very satisfied, and the haze on his face was swept away in an instant.

"Have you eaten enough?"

Xia Ran asked again.

Ruan Mianmian raised her eyebrows, with a slight smile in her eyes, "Didn't you see it all?"

At the dinner table just now, if you want to talk about the seriousness of eating, no one can compare with her.

Xia Ran raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed.

Ruan Mianmian actually understood that Xia Ran was just casually looking for a topic to talk to.

The night wind was a little cool, and a breeze blew, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Seeing this, Xia Ran wanted to take off his coat and give it to her.

Ruan Mianmian raised her hand to stop, she said, "Thank you, but don't worry, I will only wear the coat that Jiang Ce gave me." ”
