When it comes to Wei Ran, you can't help but talk about Qiao Rui.

He was in fine shape at the time of the last call, and we haven't seen each other in a while since that night.

When he helped me find Chu Qingchuan, he suffered from a cold, and I never thanked him in person......

I glanced at the time, went to the mall, bought some supplements, and drove directly to Qiao Rui's studio to try my luck without making a phone call.

Soon after the doorbell rang, Qiao Rui opened the door for me.

As soon as he saw me, he had a smile on his face, but I was stunned for half a second.

How did he get so emaciated?

"Qiao Rui, why are you ......" I forgot his nickname on weekdays for a while, and I was only surprised.

"Come in and talk. Isn't it fashionable to be skinny and beautiful now?" he snorted, reached out and took what I was carrying, pretending to be flattered: "Hey, I used to get things from me, but this time I saw the money back." ”

I rolled my eyes and followed him into the house.

The heating in the studio was bustling, and he was wearing cotton trousers and a T-shirt, a little fat and not very fit. Is it because you've lost weight? I muttered to myself.

"Who's coming?" came the woman's voice.

"The sun. Qiao Rui said in the direction of the kitchen.

After a short silence, a beautiful figure flashed out, Wei Ran did have a temperament, and she was also very elegant with an apron.

"The sun is coming, why don't you say hello in advance? I don't have to prepare food. She smiled.

Qiao Rui smiled when he heard this: "Let Jiaoyang invite us to a big dinner?"

"Hahaha!" This question, even I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Please! ”

"Haha, just kidding. You came just in time for the sun, a friend happened to come over in the morning, brought Bordeaux and a fine steak, you sit down, I'll fry it. Qiao Rui walked up to Wei Ran, put his palm on her shoulder, and pushed her to the sofa.

Wei Ran frowned, pretending to be angry: "As soon as the sun comes, you won't listen to the doctor, right?"

I watched with a smile on the sidelines, unable to speak.

"You still talk to the rare guests, the kitchen is not a place for you to enter, and the smoke is heavy. Wei Ran turned around and broke away from Qiao Rui's grasp.

Qiao Rui shrugged his shoulders and gave me a helpless smile.

"Master Qiao, are you sick?" I felt guilty in my heart, feeling that I didn't care enough about my friends.

Qiao Rui was about to speak, Wei Ran turned around and turned his head sideways and said to me, "Pneumonia." ”

I was stunned, I didn't expect him to be so sick.

Qiao Rui sat on the sofa like no one else and poured me tea.

I rubbed my hands together and asked embarrassedly, "Was it the last time I was cold?"

"Who hasn't been sick when they're old? Now that the air pollution is so bad, not to mention pneumonia, it's not uncommon for lung cancer. Qiao Rui said, handing over the teacup.

The more he downplayed the matter, the more guilty I felt.

Perhaps seeing the apology in my heart, he said seriously: "If you don't want to go, come to see my old man more in the future and buy more supplements." I heard that the high mountain tea is good......"

Qiao Rui is a tea addict, I can't understand it anymore, so I echoed: "Yes, yes, understand." ”

"Sun, don't listen to him. With me here, I still need you to buy it for him? Wei Ran came out with the red wine and put it on the table.

Soon, the aroma of the steak overflowed, and Qiao Rui woke up the red wine.

Just as I was about to sit down, Ethan called me and asked me, "Did Brother Chuan look for you?"

I blurted out, "No." ”

"The man is gone!" he roared, his tone conveying uneasiness.

"Calm down, he's not a child, he can't be lost. I reassured, but I became anxious.

"Are you home?" asked Ethan again.

"No, I don't. I replied.

"Then how do you know he didn't go looking for you? I'll go to your house. "Ethan is really anxious, like a 'hairy' child.

"You wait, ten seconds. "I didn't hang up the phone, I opened the location app directly, and the red dot was moving.

That's right with what I thought, he didn't go to look for me, because the direction was towards Anling Mountain.

"The surveillance outside my house shows that there is no one, you go to Anling Mountain to take a look, maybe he will go to worship Sister Meng." I lied and put my phone back to my ear.

As soon as the words fell, the ears became busy.

I stared at the red dot on the screen in amazement, not knowing what I was doing.

"How is he? I heard that the operation was successful. Qiao Rui sat across from me, his hands resting on the table, lunch had been set, and Wei Ran was also seated beside him.

"It's good. I said uncomfortably.

"That's good. Qiao Rui cut the steak with his hands, and then exchanged the cut plate with the untouched one in front of Wei Ran.

"Master Qiao really takes care of people. I complimented.

Wei Ran's smile was happy and satisfied, and Qiao Rui glanced at me lightly: "You didn't eat less before." ”

"That's different, one is a quasi-wife, the other is a good friend, the treatment must be different, right, Wei Ran?" I deliberately created an atmosphere to be more joyful, but also to make the relationship more harmonious.

After all, I know Qiao Rui very well, but I don't have much contact with Wei Ran.

I raised my glass and toasted Wei Ran: "Wei Ran, you also participated in and helped in the public welfare exhibition of Xingmang before, I borrowed your wine to toast you, don't you think I'm insincere?"

Wei Ran smiled, picked up her wine glass and touched it with me: "No, artists should give back to the society for public welfare." ”

"Well, it's good that I didn't get you involved. "I steered the conversation to the recent hot spots.

Qiao Rui began to cut my steak again, without saying a word.

"What are your plans next? The situation is like this, it is very bad for you, I am afraid that in Jiangcheng, if you don't solve this matter, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the future. Wei Ran looked at me with concern.

"I ......" I was about to say that I planned to study abroad, but Qiao Rui intercepted my words, and he said unhappily: "What is it difficult to gain a foothold? Are people blind?"

"Jiaoyang is not angry, why are you angry? I also care about Jiaoyang, a woman's reputation is very important, okay?" Wei Ran changed his gentleness just now, full of grievances.

Qiao Rui frowned, buried his head and continued to process the steak on the plate, no longer speaking.

I felt that this unprovoked quarrel started because of me, and I couldn't help it: "Wei Ran is caring about me, I can hear it." Master Qiao rest assured, I'm not such a cautious person, how could I misunderstand your wife? Don't embarrass Wei Ran just to take care of my face......

I played a round field so that Wei Ran would not be embarrassed.

Wei Ran smiled: "I'm sorry for the sun, he has always helped his friends, and he has left me to help my buddies several times." ”

Wei Ran's Mandarin is not very standard, with a soft and glutinous tone, gentle and delicate, and when she says "buddy", it sounds very cute.

"Master Qiao, that is, a gentle and independent woman like Wei Ran, can stand you. "I think when I first met Qiao Rui, when I learned that he was Mongolian, I always couldn't help but hum "the man who sets the horse".

In fact, Qiao Rui is not a man with big nerves, thick and thin, rigid and soft.

Because I am not familiar with Wei Ran, I will inevitably praise Wei Ran and belittle Qiao Rui, if everyone is very familiar with each other, it will be different, then they will definitely tear each other down.

In the topic I deliberately created, the atmosphere gradually improved, and we began to talk about art, career, and things in the circle.

I glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and at one o'clock, my phone rang.

I wiped my hands unhurriedly and glanced at the caller ID to make sure that the person sitting across from me could see it.

"Hello Officer Xing, what? Ke'er's father caught it? Great! Well, okay. Thank you!" I recalled the feeling of receiving a call from Xing Jing when I was shopping in the mall, and played it again.

Before hanging up, I asked him to call me again at one o'clock.

To put it bluntly, it's a play.

While acting, I secretly observed Wei Ran's reaction.

She looked as usual, and fed Qiao Rui a mouthful of salad.

But I still noticed that when I said, "Father Ke'er got it," her hand holding the fork paused for a second.

I put my phone back on the table and announced with a slight emotion, "Kerr's father has been caught! ”

"It's worth a toast. Qiao Rui raised his glass and smiled gently.

"Yes! Congratulations. Wei Ran sincerely agreed.

The crystal cups made a crisp sound when they collided together, and the bright red "liquid" body shook.

"Well, as long as there is justice, my gossip is nothing. It's just that I really want to know who took advantage of Kerr's tragic experience and made a girl who has no ability to resist harm be talked about. I took a sip of my wine and spoke slowly.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Wei Ran said: "I can't say that, the public cares about Ke'er, I think someone has started fundraising and crowdfunding, and everyone is helping her." ”

"Care? I don't think Kerr needs that kind of care. The scars are torn open and exposed in the sun, people's sympathy and pity come from the initial desire to snoop, good people do have it, but more people are watching the excitement, and even psychologically distorted people are still saying things full of malice and suggestion. Once the heat is over, what's left?" I asked rhetorically.

Wei Ran's expression was a little unnatural: "Jiaoyang, I can understand your mood." ”

"No, no one can understand her, and she doesn't need to be understood. Blazing Sun, do you know something?" Qiao Rui looked at me with a little worry in his eyes.

There are the most real emotions in people's eyes, and Qiao Rui is the one who can stabilize my emotions.

"Yes, I have some evidence, and behind this matter, there are dirty interests, and perhaps some ulterior motives. I won't miss any of those who are suspected. Either resort to the law, and if the law can't control it, I will also let them taste the taste of online violence. I said with an understated smile.

"Hmm. The cost of rumor-mongering is too low, the value of traffic is too great, and the public opinion environment suffers greatly. Qiao Rui nodded.

"I'm full, it's time to go back to work. "I ate the last steak and clapped my hands to leave.

"I'll send the sun. Wei Ran said before Qiao Rui.
