Chapter Seventy-Four: Santa's Gift

Maybe it was too cold on the ground, a chill spread all over her limbs, Su Ranran touched her cold hands, bare feet, cold to the bone, she stood up helplessly, touched her hungry rumbling belly, full of bitter grievances but no one could complain, tears couldn't help but flow out.

The mobile phone rang the message prompt, Su Ranran wiped the tears from her face, hurriedly walked over, saw the message, and then looked at the gift box on the coffee table, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Ranran, Merry Christmas!" was a message from Dong Xingliang on his phone.

"Thank you, you too, Tongle. Su Ranran replied in a low spirit.

"Have you eaten? Santa Claus gave you a gift, do you like it?" Soon, Dong Xingliang came back.

Su Ranran opened the delicate gift box, her favorite brand, a new limited edition perfume.

Su Ranran replied with tears in her eyes: "I like it very much, thank you!"

"In the future, I will buy all the new perfumes in their house and give them to you, as long as you are happy. Dong Xingliang's message quickly came back.

But Su Ranran's tears couldn't stop flowing down, like a pearl with a broken thread, falling straight down, holding a small bottle in her hand, like a baby, she cried more and more fiercely.

It turned out that he remembered everything he liked. It turns out that when you are sad, having someone to care about will break all your pretenses, all your stubbornness, and force out your fragile side.

It turned out that she was so eager to have someone who could care about her, love her, accompany her, and love her like Dong Xingliang in the past, but her husband Shen Ling couldn't give any of them.

"Xingliang, I'm so uncomfortable!" Su Ranran typed out a row of words, thought about it, and felt that it was inappropriate, so he changed "uncomfortable" to "hungry" and sent it over.

"It's so late, you haven't eaten yet?" he replied to messages so quickly, always so quickly.

"Hmm. Su Ranran's mother-in-law nodded vigorously in tears, thinking that he was in front of her.

"What time is it, you haven't eaten yet, how does that man take care of you!" he said angrily and distressedly.

"It's that I don't want to eat it myself. Su Ranran didn't want him to worry and replied.

But after waiting for a long time, she didn't wait for his message, leaned on the sofa, cold fingertips, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and felt groggy in her head, she curled up on the sofa, hugged her arms, and fell asleep dizzily.

............

Lin Ruoshui and Liang Yichen walked side by side on the road, and the still verdant camphor trees were dyed with a layer of golden light under the light.

Suddenly, Liang Yichen pulled her, stopped, took out a delicate small box from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Ruoshui.

Lin Ruoshui raised his eyes and said uncertainly: "Give it to me?

Liang Yichen nodded arrogantly.

Lin Ruoshui reached out and took it, opened it gently, and said in surprise: "Wow, what a beautiful bracelet, how do you know I like bracelets!"

"Santa Claus told me that, and he asked me to put it on for you. Liang Yichen selectively ignored her question and said with a smile.

Lin Ruoshui looked at the man with firm eyes in front of her, and then looked at the silver bracelet on her wrist, although the scar under it was much lighter, she could still see it, she frowned, shook her head gently, and said nervously: "No need, I won't trouble you." ”

Liang Yichen raised his eyebrows and said sourly: "You've been wearing that bracelet for a few years, and you are reluctant to change it, your ex-boyfriend gave it to you?"

Lin Ruoshui said slowly: "It was given by someone more important than my ex-boyfriend, I have been used to it in the past few years, wearing it as if he was still by my side, no matter where he is, as long as he is happy, I will be satisfied." ”

The look of guilt in Liang Yichen's eyes flashed, and for a moment, he almost couldn't help but want to tell her that the person she was looking for was right in front of him. But what he Liang Yichen wants is more than just a Lin Ruoshui who obeys his words in order to repay his kindness.

He calmed down slightly, and said with a little emptiness: "Don't live in memory, people should look forward, maybe people have forgotten you, and you still miss him." ”

Lin Ruoshui bowed slightly, his voice was dyed with a trace of sadness, and said softly: "You're right, maybe he doesn't remember me." ”

MR. L, she still couldn't find him after all.

"Then from now on, start with this bracelet, slowly forget about him, he must be the same as me, I hope you can be happy and happy, instead of living in the past, stuck in the future. Liang Yichen gently took her hand and said softly, wanting to help her change the bracelet.

Lin Ruoshui was afraid that Liang Yichen would see the scar on her wrist and ask about her past, so she quickly shook off his hand vigorously, hid her hand behind her back, and hurriedly said, "No...... No, I ...... I ......... myself."

"Okay, you wear it yourself, you haven't changed it tomorrow, you see how I clean you up. Liang Yichen understood her concerns, and thoughtfully did not embarrass her, but threatened fiercely.

"How can I not wear it like you, what can you do to me?" Lin Ruoshui, who breathed a sigh of relief, said angrily.

"Then you'll come and do my laundry, cooking, and cleaning. Liang Yichen pondered for a while, and said with a smile.

"Cut, you're looking for a maid, the price is up, I can consider it. Lin Ruoshui said as he walked, and couldn't help but quip.

"What do you want, it's free, a month!" Liang Yichen leaned into her ear and said softly.

A slightly hot breath sprayed on her face, Lin Ruoshui's face began to heat again, this demonic man is really tempting her all the time, she must be calm, she can't fall into his way, she coughed lightly, concealed her nervousness, took a small step back, looked at his eyes, and said with a smile: "The beauty you think of, it's free, then you come to my house to be a maid!"

The corners of Liang Yichen's mouth curled, just waiting for her words, and then said seriously: "A word is decided, whoever is a puppy will start tomorrow." ”

Lin Ruoshui, who reacted, was annoyed and said, "Liang Yichen, you dare to deceive me!"

Liang Yichen spread his hands and said innocently: "Obviously, you took the initiative to invite me, and I covered the living expenses, how about it, it's a good deal, right?"

"Have you ever done housework? Can you cook? Reach out and I'll see. Lin Ruoshui's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said with a smile.

Liang Yichen stretched out his hand very cooperatively.

"Tut-tut...... This hand is really beautiful, white and tender, more tender than mine, you are afraid that you can't even cook a bowl of noodles, you want to come to my house to eat and drink, you want to be beautiful, hum!"

"If you want to take advantage, just say it, and learn from others to read palmistry, which is not ......vulgar," Liang Yichen said with an ambiguous face.

Her slightly cool fingertips touched his hand, but it made his heart itch for a while, this woman, any inadvertent action, can tug at his heartstrings.

"Who, who wants to take advantage of you. Lin Ruoshui stammered, and hurriedly let go of his hand, but Liang Yichen's grasp was tighter, and she blushed and struggled gently.

"Okay, I won't tease you, go back and change it yourself, it's late, go back. Liang Yichen gently stroked the bracelet on her hand and said softly.

Lin Ruoshui looked at his deep eyes, and in his gentle gaze, he gradually sank, hey, it's really useless, as long as Liang Yichen gives her a little tenderness, she has no way to resist, and even speaks softer than usual: "Well, then I'll go up, thank you for the gift, I like it very much." ”

Liang Yichen nodded, but he was reluctant to let go.

"If you don't let go of me, how can I go. Lin Ruoshui said shyly.

Liang Yichen let go of her hand, gently cupped her face, imprinted an affectionate kiss on her forehead, and said softly: "Good night." ”

Lin Ruoshui nodded shyly and said, "Well, drive carefully and pay attention to safety for a while." ”

Liang Yichen bowed slightly, stood in place, looking at her back as she walked away, a little reluctant, a little lost, and a little longing, he slowly turned around and walked towards the car.

Lin Ruoshui couldn't help but turn around, looking at Liang Yichen's somewhat lonely figure, he had walked away, and breathed a sigh of relief, if he was still looking at her in place, Lin Ruoshui would definitely not be able to control himself, ran over and hugged him tightly, and told him that he actually liked him.

Fortunately, he left, Lin Ruoshui turned around safely and disappeared at the gate of the community.

Her figure disappeared in Liang Yichen's eyes, he stood quietly under the light, watching her leave, until her figure disappeared, he slowly turned around and disappeared into the night.

............

"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ......" the doorbell rang.

Su Ran opened her eyes violently, the bright lights were a little dazzling, the sound of advertisements came from the TV, she rubbed her eyes that were a little painful, sat up, straightened her clothes, grabbed her long hair with her hands, and went to open the door barefoot.

"Xingliang, why are you here?" Seeing the familiar face standing at the door, Su Ranran said in surprise.

"Ranran, I brought you the gimbap you like to eat, as well as braised pig......'s trotters," Dong Xingliang said, handing over the food in his hand.

"Come in. Su Ranran didn't pick it up, turned sideways and let him in.

Dong Xingliang, who entered the house, saw Su Ranran wearing thin clothes and walking barefoot on the ground, and said a little angrily: "It's not that you won't let you barefoot, why are you disobedient, the ground is so cold, the humidity is heavy, what should I do if I am sick?

Dong Xingliang chattered, put things on the coffee table, and quickly brought the coat on the side of the sofa and put it on Su Ranran.

"Why haven't you eaten so late?Shen Ling, haven't come back yet?" Dong Xingliang opened the food box and put it in front of her.

"Don't mention him to me!" Su Ranran said depressedly.

"Okay, don't mention it, eat first, you see you've lost weight. Dong Xingliang said with distressed eyes.

Su Ranran put one in her mouth, the familiar taste made her nose sour, her eyes hot, and tears the size of beans slid down her face, it was her favorite snack in her youth, it was her and Dong Xingliang's best high school career, as long as she wanted to eat, no matter the scorching sun or wind and rain, Dong Xingliang would buy it for her......

"Ran Ran, what's wrong, don't cry, I'll be distressed if you do this......" Dong Xingliang squatted down, stretched out his thumb, and gently wiped away the tears on her face.

Su Ranran's eyes were hazy with tears, she raised her hand like a green hand, touched the familiar face in front of her, threw herself into his arms, and cried bitterly.
