Chapter 99: Between Us (1)
You can't bear to let me be lonely, and the reason why I suffer for you is not busy, not negligent, not ignorant, not tested, not temporarily forgotten, not withdrawn...... You just don't love me. -- Excerpt from the network
Xiao Ran looked at Fang Jun's back as he left, and for a while, a thousand words seemed to come to his heart together, but in the end, he still didn't say a word. Xia Chenxuan looked at Xiao Ran, who was distracted, politely said "unaccompanied" to Shang Nan beside him, and then pulled Guan Xue, who wanted to say something more, and walked aside.
Shang Nan looked at Xiao Ran, who was still in a daze in the direction Fang Jun left, sighed secretly, glanced at Xia Chenxuan and Guan Xue, who had already walked to the other side and sat down, and stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Xiao Ran's eyes: "Xiao Ran, are you okay?"
Xiao Ran came back to his senses and nodded: "Well, I'm fine." After a pause, he spoke again: "Before I came, Qingxuan and you talked on the phone, right?" Although he was asked, he used an affirmative tone.
"Hmm. Shang Nan said and picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then explained: "She doesn't worry about you coming alone." ”
Xiao Ran hung her head, she couldn't see her expression clearly, and after a long time, Shang Nan heard her tone a little low and a little self-deprecating: "For so many years, I have always felt that I am a very strong person, but I didn't expect to be seen through by Qingxuan at a glance." ”
Shang Nam didn't make a sound, just took the wine glass and drank the wine slowly, mixed with a slight bitter taste flowing down his throat and blood to his stomach and heart. After a long time, Shang Nan stretched out his hand, rubbed Xiao Ran's short hair, and said, "Fool." ”
After listening to Shang Nan's evaluation of himself, Xiao Ran suddenly laughed: "It's quite stupid." ”
Seeing her like this, Shang Nan also laughed together, and after a while, he sighed again and said, "The past is the past, don't think so much." ”
Xiao Ran understood that Shang Nan mistakenly thought that she had not let go of the matter between her and Fang Jun, but her matter could not be explained at all in just a few words, and even if she explained it clearly, others might not believe it, so she nodded along with his words: "Well, I know." ”
Xiao Ran turned his head to take a look, Xia Chenxuan, who was surrounded by several girls not far away, watched him deal with everyone with a polite and restrained smile, and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Leaning on the back of the chair and lazily closing his eyes, it took a long time before he opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to Xia Chenxuan's figure and touched it lightly through the air, with a somewhat drunk voice that looked helpless and lonely: "Actually, the person I care about the most in my heart now used to be 'close to the end of the world' with me, but now he is 'close to the end of the world' with me, I am quite scared." ”
As the saying goes, 'wine is strong and intimidating', after Xiao Ran, the 'coward', finished drinking the wine in the cup in one go, he staggered to his feet, and turned back to Shang Nan, who had not reacted for a while, and showed an extremely bright smile: "I don't want to continue like this, you should work hard!"
Shang Nan was first taken aback by her 'bold words', and then by her sudden bright smile, and by the time he understood the meaning of Xiao Ran's words, she had already walked slowly and leisurely in the direction of Xia Chenxuan. Shang Nan hurriedly got up, walked a few steps quickly and reached out to grab her, Xiao Ran was suddenly pulled by him, staggered for a moment before standing firmly, and turned his head to look at him with a puzzled face: "What's wrong?"
Shang Nan also felt that he was a little abrupt, hesitated for a moment, and said to Xiao Ran with a look of openness: "Xiao Ran, will I introduce you to a boyfriend?"
Xiao Ran quietly looked at Shang Nan's somewhat anxious appearance, and only after a long time did he speak: "Why?"
"No, it's just that I suddenly remembered that I have a buddy who plays very well, he is also single now, and he is now in his hometown, so I want to introduce you to each other. ”
Xiao Ran smiled, in fact, she could understand why Shang Nan suddenly wanted to introduce her boyfriend to her, she didn't want to live up to his concern, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
Shang Nan originally thought that Xiao Ran would not agree, and was thinking about how to convince her later, but when he heard her sudden 'good', he was stunned for a while, and before he could come back to his senses, he heard Xiao Ran continue: "However, you have to wait for me to try it first, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be at ease in my life." ”
"You ......" Shang Nan glanced in the direction of Xia Chenxuan's side and sighed: "Before it starts, you can change the person next to you to like it?" Although Xia Chenxuan looks very gentle with people, he is actually a person who is a little indifferent to everyone in his bones, not to mention, I heard that he has ...... I have a girlfriend. Xiao Ran, the two of us should know each other better, you know that even if it wasn't for Qingxuan's reasons, we have been friends for so many years, I really don't want to see you hurt in the slightest, Qingxuan and I both hope that you can find happiness that truly belongs to you. ”
"Well, I know. Xiao Ran knew that he couldn't explain his feelings for Xia Chenxuan to Shang Nan, so he sighed secretly, raised his head and looked at Shang Nan, with a little helplessness and sadness in his smile: "Thank you for thinking so much about me, but it's too late." ”
When Shang Nan heard this, he was obviously a little shocked: "How could ......it be too late?
"Shang Nam. Xiao Ran interrupted Shang Nan's words, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes, "Really, from the moment I had a car accident, it was already too late." So, you let me give it a try, if...... If there's really no hope, I'll let it go, and you don't have to worry about me. ”
As soon as Xiao Ran finished saying these words, Shang Nan really didn't know what else he could say, so he was silent for a moment before he nodded and instructed: "You drank wine today, walk and pay attention to your feet." ”
"Okay, I'll take notice. ”
From the time Xiao Ran stumbled a little and started walking towards him, to the boy holding her and saying something, Xia Chenxuan has been paying attention. He was actually quite curious about Xiao Ran, I don't know if it was an illusion, whether it was what he heard from Guan Xue's mouth before, or what he felt when he saw her in person now, he always had a feeling that this girl was full of affection for him, and he was surprised and a little puzzled at the same time. When watching Xiao Ran walk towards him step by step, Xia Chenxuan had to admit that he felt a little inexplicably nervous and expectant, he hadn't felt this way for many years.
Xiao Ran walked up to him and stood still, his tone polite and polite: "Excuse me, I want to go out and talk with you alone, is it okay?"
Xia Chenxuan glanced at her and was a little surprised: "Alone?"
"Yes, is that okay?"
Xia Chenxuan glanced back at Guan Xue, who was just as stunned as him, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes." With that, the two of them walked towards the door of the bar, one after the other.
It's almost early in the morning, the rain outside is not as heavy as when it just came, Xiao Ran forgot to wear a coat when she came out, and she was shivering by the cold wind before she remembered, however, she didn't have the energy to go back and get it again, when she lowered her head and was thinking about how she should open her mouth so as not to look abrupt, she suddenly felt a sinking on her shoulders, and a burst of warmth suddenly hit her limbs along her shoulders, Xia Chenxuan took off her coat very gentlemanly and put it on her shoulders.
"Beware of catching a cold. ”
Xiao Ran was stunned and put on Xia Chenxuan's coat, and he didn't know what to say for a while. The body temperature wrapped in her coat, or the warmth that she can't let go of or forget in her memory, and even the familiar and unfamiliar smell on her clothes are the most real attachment in her heart when she dreams back at midnight!
At this moment, Xiao Ran had only one thought in his heart: to find out what difference between reality and dream! Go and let go! Get out, get out of the way! What I like is mine! No one wants to carve up a single bit from me!
