"You're leaving so early?"

When Ji Ran stood at the entrance to change shoes, the Xiang family's grandmother looked reluctant. From behind her, Xiang Yunxin also poked his head out:

"Sister Ji Ran, otherwise, I won't go back tonight, I still want to talk to you. ”

"Next time, it's better to go back today. ”

She rubbed Xiang Yunxin's hair, looking at her much more lively now than before, a little relieved.

No one expected that after what happened last time, the two of them would actually develop into good friends. At first, she would chat occasionally, and then it developed into a party for dinner, and now, the grandmother of the face family is very familiar with her.

Maybe it was because watching the haze in Xiang Yun's eyes decrease little by little, which would also give Ji Ran some hope, so he has always had a positive attitude towards such contact.

"Okay, then I'll have to stay longer next time. ”

"Of course. ”

Ji Ran said goodbye to Xiang Yunxin, who was reluctant, and walked all the way home.

The distance between the two families is actually not too far, and they are thinking about things in a daze, and they have come to it unconsciously.

She stopped as she approached the flower stand in front of the community.

There was a person sitting under the flower stage, which was a rarity in a place that had always been less popular. Ji Ran was half curious and half vigilant, and stood in place looking at the man.

It's just that this figure becomes more familiar the more you look at it.

"Hey, why are you here?"

After recognizing who it was, Ji Ran walked over decisively, stood still in front of him, lowered his head and looked puzzled.

Bai Xingchen's originally drooping head was raised, and he just looked at Ji Ran like this, his mouth was long, but he didn't speak.

Ji Ran couldn't see his expression clearly under the dim light, but her intuition was wrong, she frowned and looked at Bai Xingchen.

Then he found that his face seemed to be injured, his cheeks were broken, and the corners of his mouth were slightly swollen, which made Ji Ran a little surprised, and when his eyes went down, he saw the dark stain on Bai Xingchen's arm T-shirt that looked like coagulated blood, and his expression was a little uncontrollable.

"Let's go to the hospital. ”

She grabbed Bai Xingchen's uninjured hand, and her face was worried that she couldn't cover.

"It's fine. ”

His voice was a little hoarse, and when Ji Ran heard it, he couldn't rest assured.

"Do you need me to carry you?"

She said seriously, but Bai Xingchen sneered, took her hand, supported the edge of the flower stand hard, and stood up:

"It's not that weak yet. ”

"What's wrong with you?"

Ji Ran looked Bai Xingchen up and down carefully, and saw that his complexion didn't seem to be too bad, so he relaxed a little, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on the place where he was injured.

"I encountered something at work. ”

Obviously, as usual, there will be a few gangsters looking for trouble, I originally thought it would be the same as before, just to talk about the deterrence, but who knows, but I was surrounded by a few small people who had been prepared, fortunately, the kung fu in his hands has not weakened for so many years, so there is no problem in putting down a few people, but it is inevitable, and I still have to be injured a little.

"No matter, go to the hospital first. ”

Ji Ran tugged at his sleeve tightly, and there were no other thoughts in her mind, so she wanted to take him to the hospital quickly, the wound really made her feel anxious. Bai Xingchen also went with her.

It wasn't until the nurse helped Bai Xingchen get the medicine, the bandaging was over, and Ji Ran looked left and right to see that there was nothing wrong with it, and then he suddenly thought of the key problem.

"Why are you injured and squatting downstairs in my house?"

"Do you believe me when I say something passing?"

"What do you say?"

The word 'disbelief' was clearly written on his face, and Bai Xingchen sighed deliberately.

"I know you won't believe it, in fact, this time, I want you to do me a favor. ”

"What?"

"I needed a place to borrow. ”

"Where to stay, then ......" Ji Ran said and suddenly reacted: "You mean, you want to live with me?"

Bai Xingchen nodded naturally, and Ji Ran suddenly stood up from the stool with a look of disbelief.

"Not quite right, right...... Otherwise, I'll help you find a house?

"I really need to stay with you, I've been in some trouble lately and need to hide from ......"

"But ......"

Although he knew that the other party was not a bad person, it felt really strange to think of living together, and Ji Ran subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Bai Xingchen looked at her entanglement, and directly made a big move:

"I remember, you said, if I need help, you will definitely help me. ”

If someone else is present, maybe you will hear a little coquettish from his tone, but it's a pity that Ji Ran is still in an awkward state now, and he doesn't notice it at all.

"That'...... How long are you going to stay?"

probably couldn't dodge, and Ji Ran was relieved.

"I'll ...... when I'm recovered"

Bai Xingchen deliberately teased Ji Ran, looking at her tangled brows, laughing inwardly, but adding with a serious face:

"Probably a few days. ”

That seems acceptable? Ji Ran faintly had such a thought in her heart, and then the scene of two people about to live together involuntarily popped up in her mind, and she shook her head in a mess, wanting to throw out all those thoughts and ideas that came out of nowhere.

"That'..... Just a few days. ”

***

"I can only sleep on the couch, are you sure you don't want to change your mind?"

Ji Ran came out of the cabinet with the quilt and spread it on the sofa, not forgetting to struggle again to make Bai Xingchen change his mind.

Bai Xingchen helped her lay out the quilt, looked at the surrounding environment, and suddenly pointed to a place:

"Isn't that room vacant?"

"That ......" Ji Ran looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the door of Ji Kaiyu's room that had been closed for a long time, his expression instantly darkened, and he quickly adjusted his mood again, and pretended to be relaxed and said:

"There was too much clutter in that room to live in. ”

Bai Xingchen didn't ask too much, and sat on the sofa obediently, but his hand was touching the pink and tender quilt, the smile on the corner of his mouth paused, and his expression was a little more crying and laughing.

"This ......" Ji Ran rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly: "It's already my most vegetarian." ”

Although the clothes on weekdays are simple and simple, Ji Ran still has some girlish tastes, mainly reflected in the room decoration always loves all kinds of strange girlish style, looking at the quilt printed with various funeral cartoons, Ji Ran also spent a lot of effort to find a slightly normal bed.

Bai Xingchen raised his eyebrows silently, he didn't expect Ji Ran to have such a contrasting side.

"By the way, I'll put your daily necessities with mine. ”

Ji Ran naturally walked into the bathroom with his things, and when he put the ordinary daily necessities such as quilts and toothbrushes on the table, he looked at the two cups leaning together, and his hands paused.

It's so strange how this suddenly has a feeling of living. Ji Ran didn't realize how many times he shook his head today, but this time he still shook it, driving those inexplicable thoughts out of his mind.

While she was busy, Bai Xingchen did not sit quietly.

He stood up and paced out the window, the floor where Ji Ran lived was relatively low, and the greenery in the community was very good, and as soon as he stretched out his hand from the window, it seemed that he could touch the branches of the trees that grew taller.

The branches are dense, obscuring a lot of light sources, and only a thin light can be seen through the leaves.

The view is very bad.

Bai Xingchen came to a conclusion.

In fact, most of the words that said that he needed to hide were false, and since Gao Yecheng reminded him last time, he was always a little vaguely worried in his heart.

According to Gao Yecheng's style, if you are suspicious, you will definitely get to the bottom of it, Bai Xingchen knows that he shouldn't get too close to Ji Ran anymore, but he can't hide the worry in his heart.

From the beginning, the purpose is not pure and false, but it is true to wait at the door with hope, and the excuse for borrowing is false, but the heart of borrowing is true. Bai Xingchen himself didn't know why he suddenly seemed to lose control, he just wanted Ji Ran to be in the line of sight here.

He wanted to keep her safe, and he wanted to get her out of the mess.

He knows Ji Ran's personality, and he will not give up easily what he believes, but the road ahead is really too dangerous, especially now that Gao Yecheng has been alert.

The moment he saw Ji Ran, he made a decision that he must use some means to let her at least ensure her safety.

"The night view here isn't great, is it? But once you're used to it, you can't tell if it's good or bad. ”

After thinking about it, Ji Ran walked up to him, stuffed an apple into his hand, took a bite of what he was holding, and looked outside following his movements.

"You've been living for a long time?"

Bai Xingchen took a bite of the apple and turned his head to look at her.

"More than twenty years," he said with a playful smile:

"Why, you have to persuade me to move. ”

"If you stay for more than 20 years, you must have your own reasons," Bai Xingchen smiled:

"Or rather, you're short of money. ”

"Wow, that's smart. ”

Ji Ran left the window, sat down on the sofa slowly, raised his face, and said a little banter:

"So the big guy doesn't consider living here to support a little living expenses?"

She swore she was really joking, so she was startled when she saw Bai Xingchen sit down and hand over the card.

"I ...... Just kidding. ”

She pushed back and hurriedly explained.

"I'm not kidding, after all, I have to eat and drink afterwards, and if I don't do something, my heart is unstable. ”

Seeing that the card was pushed over again, Ji Ran was excited, and the words in his mind popped up directly:

"I really don't need to, it's only a few days, I can still afford to raise ......."

Before the word 'you' could be spoken, Ji Ran suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the rhythm of his mouth was too fast, and he almost bit his tongue.

Bai Xingchen was obviously also taken aback by this sentence, his eyebrows raised slightly, but he quickly hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile with a bit of ruffianism, looking at Ji Ran, who was a little embarrassed, and quipped:

"Then it seems that you will need to raise it these days. ”
