16. Time
Shen Ran actually couldn't forget that day.
Before that, they hadn't been in touch for several days, Shen Ran tried to complete a list on his own for the first time, and almost didn't eat or drink on it, while Qin Muchuan was also busy preparing for the opening of the new store.
On the day his store opened, Shen Ran remembered it, so he casually asked him online: "Has it opened?" How's the business? โ
Originally, she didn't expect him to reply to her message immediately, because she knew that the new store would be busier than before in the opening days, but what she didn't expect was that his โกโก would soon pop up a message.
"You are?"
"I am a friend of Qin Muchuan. You're not him? โ
"yes, he's out there."
"Oh, so who are?"
"Guess."
"His girlfriend?"
asked tentatively, but I didn't expect the other party to send a tacit, shy smile.
Shen Ran couldn't say what she felt at the time, although she hadn't seen him in those years, but they chatted more speculatively and happily than ever, and she would even teach him: "Don't be so rigid and serious, girls don't like it." โ
If Qin Muchuan is free, he will also ask her: "What kind of girl does she like?" โ
Shen Ran said: "You can make money, you can flirt, you must be mature and considerate, and you must also be smart and black-bellied." "Sometimes when I read a novel and see some of the plots in which the male protagonist quietly teases the heroine, she will also send it to him casually.
She not only watched him slowly become successful, but also watched his personality gradually become more calm and atmospheric, and now, it was time to mature and harvest, but that man had nothing to do with her anymore.
Shen Ran herself couldn't tell what she felt in her heart at that time, the depression and anger of the cabbage that she had worked so hard to grow and finally let other people's pigs gnaw it, so that she didn't climb out of the computer to pull the woman's hair, even if her cultivation was already very good, okay?
She blocked her camera, clicked on the video chat, the person over there took it, and then she saw her.
A very beautiful girl, with light makeup and light brushes, long hair half-pulled, wearing a T-shirt in the standard of Qin Muchuan's convenience store, and the LOGO on the clothes was designed by her.
She looked up and down in front of the screen for a while, asking, "Why can't I see you?" โ
The voice is clear and soft, and it is very beautiful.
Shen Ran hurriedly turned off the video and took the โกโก offline.
Since then, she has not logged in to Time.
After so many years, Shen Ran has been able to keep herself calm very well, and she asked calmly: "You talked about a girlfriend before, didn't you?" โ
Qin Muchuan: "......"
"Well, I saw her when your store opened that day."
Qin Muchuan: ......
She looked at him fiercely, "So you're not together now, right?" โ
This is a bit of a joke, because she is very sure, according to Qin Muchuan's three views, she doesn't believe that he will provoke her when he has a partner.
However, Qin Muchuan didn't respond to her, he just looked at her and asked, "Why did you change your name to add me?" โ
Why?
Shen Ran blinked, "It doesn't seem to make sense to say this at this time, right?" โ
"Say!"
Shen Ran was silent for a while, in fact, she could make up a statement to make him believe, but she knew that in fact, he understood, and the lie would only make him more ridiculous.
So she said: "When I came back, I just felt sorry for you, Meimei, do you remember?" When I was in college, I was a classmate in the dormitory, and she said to me, you seem to be in a bad state, so ......"
"So you want to see if I'm doing well, you approach me in a different identity and comfort me, just to make yourself feel at ease, right? Seeing that I have a girlfriend, so you can rest assured, and then ......" Qin Muchuan said this, as if he couldn't say anything anymore, he paused for a moment and sneered, "Shen Ran, I said before that you were a little irresponsible and really wronged you, you see, how responsible, affectionate and righteous, you are still responsible for psychological guidance and career planning after dumping people, do you need me to solemnly say 'thank you'?" โ
โฆโฆ She knew that he might not necessarily be grateful to her, and Shen Ran said dryly, "Well, no need." โ
Qin Muchuan gritted his teeth and glared at her, and finally pounced on her and bit her neck with a "snort": "Sleep!" โ
Shen Ran covered his neck, didn't even dare to struggle, and obediently followed him to bed.
It was raining outside, and the sound of the rain was so noisy that people couldn't sleep, but she didn't turn over, and honestly nestled in his arms.
Her cold feet touched his warm body, and she tried to move away, but he firmly grabbed it back and put it back between his legs.
This action made her feel warm, she raised her face, and wanted to tell him: "Qin Muchuan, in fact, I really liked you at that time, because I liked it, so I couldn't let it go like that." โ
Just opened his mouth, and he blocked it back.
He said, "Shut up, if you say one more word, I'll bite you more." โ
His hand gripped her chest hard, and it hurt a little, but it didn't hurt much.
Shen Ran thought that they would do something if they held them like that, but in fact, they didn't do anything.
She also thought that she would not be able to sleep, but as a result, she slept very deeply.
When I woke up, the light in the room was still a little dim, and the thick curtains blocked out the real daylight outside. She rolled over and lay on the bed not quite moving.
Until I heard Qin Muchuan's voice outside, faintly.
She looked at the time, and it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.
She sat up in horror, trying to find her phone but not finding it.
When I went to the living room, I saw her mobile phone quietly placed on the table outside, Qin Muchuan was sitting on the sofa and making a call, with his own computer open in front of him, and there were many literary materials.
Shen Ran rubbed his hair, and after he finished the call, he asked a little embarrassedly, "You didn't go to work?" โ
He looked at her with a smile and said, "On the weekend, you have to work overtime?" โ
Shen Ran saved at this time, ah, a week has passed.
She hadn't woken up too much, and her reaction was a little slow, sitting on the sofa next to her, holding her forehead in a daze.
Qin Muchuan asked: "Don't wash your face?" His gaze swept over her, slightly disgusted.
Shen Ran was embarrassed, so he ran to the bathroom.
In the mirror, a messy person is reflected, and it is impossible to see it.
She hated to grab the ground with her head, but she had to pack up and go out to meet people. Outside, the rain had stopped, and the sun was shining through the clouds, shining a thin light.
But after all, it's sunny, isn't it?
The clothes washed yesterday were also dry, Shen Ran put them on, and by the way, he took out the clothes in the basket and washed them off.
After a long time before going out, Qin Muchuan didn't seem to notice her embarrassment, and told her: "There is breakfast in the kitchen." โ
Shen Ran let out an "oh" and entered the kitchen, where he saw a pot of hot water boiling in the pot on the stove, which was warm with soy milk, thick and sweet millet porridge, and a few side dishes.
She took it out and sat down next to him to eat: "You made it?" โ
"Do you think I have that idleness?" He asked lightly.
Shen Ran smiled, she had just checked, and there were traces of use of the juicer and casserole in the kitchen, but he didn't want to admit his intentions, and she didn't debunk it.
The so-called people are difficult to dismantle.
After eating a few bites by herself, she scooped a spoonful of porridge and handed it to his lips, Qin Muchuan turned his head, and he didn't mean to eat it.
"Would you like to save some face?"
After a stalemate, he still ate the spoonful of porridge, viciously, like a tiger pounced on food, always with a little unwillingness.
Shen Ran smiled, and when he fed him again, he seemed much more comfortable, Qin Muchuan raised his eyebrows, ate it, and suddenly hugged her and fed it back into her mouth.
She held the porridge in her hand, and she was powerless to resist, and the mouthful of porridge went into her own stomach again.
He knew that she didn't like this "feeding" very much.
After forcing her to finish eating, he let go of her, gently wiped his fingers on her lips, and pointed to her lips and threatened, "If you plan to finish it like this, I don't mind." โ
Shen Ran was really honest, and sat away from him.
A smile slipped in Qin Muchuan's eyes, and he continued to look at the quotation form in his hand page by page, and his slender fingers were still unconsciously playing with the pen between his fingers.
Seeing her pick up his mobile phone, he seemed to suddenly remember, and said lightly: "Your father called you in the morning." โ
Shen Ran stiffened slightly: "You took it?" โ
"Hmm, I accidentally pressed it."
Shen Ran: ......
Shen Ran turned on her phone, and her father called her a total of three times in the morning, namely, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, and nine o'clock fifteen, and the displayed status was answered.
Well, all three of them accidentally pressed, can she guess that he did it on purpose?
Qin Muchuan also asked her fakely: "Will it be troublesome?" Spread his hands, looking very regretful, "I think you're going to sleep quite deeply, I wanted to hang up." โ
So, it's really just a hand slip.
His expression was extremely serious and serious, Shen Ran couldn't say anything even if he was suspicious, and people were afraid that she wouldn't sleep well, so she was so considerate.
So she could only smile and say, "Thank you." โ
"You're welcome." Qin Muchuan said. That tone, how unpleasant it sounds.
Probably the phone was answered by a man, but Comrade Shen didn't call again, but just sent her a few WeChat messages, and his tone was very kind: "Xiao Ran, this weekend, shouldn't you come back to see our two old guys?" โ
is so gentle and drizzly, Shen's mother hasn't moved yet, Shen Ran believes that what awaits her when she goes home must be a stormy torture.
She asked Qin Muchuan with some trepidation: "Can you ask, what did you say to my father?" โ
"Huh?" Qin Muchuan raised his head from the text, thought about it, and parroted and said, "Your father asked you what you were doing, I said I was sleeping, and then he asked me who I was, and I said I was Qin Muchuan." โ
"And then?"
"And then he hung up."
Shen Ran: ......
She could fully imagine the fright her father was when he heard Qin Muchuan say this, and it is estimated that what was circling in his mind at that time was: Didn't he say that the surname Qin was very attentive so he didn't like it? The daughter will actually lie to her parents?!
Or, oh my God, my little lamb-like daughter is living with someone!
Okay, the latter sentence was made up by Shen Ran herself, but all along, she was indeed the same as a pure lamb in front of her parents.
Silently stroked her forehead, Shen Ran collected and washed the dishes, and after coming out, she packed up her things and said to Qin Muchuan listlessly: "I'll go back." โ
Seeing that she looked like she was going to the execution ground, Qin Muchuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why don't I go back with you?" He touched his chin and considered it, "Maybe I can help you clarify." โ
Shen Ran couldn't help but feel a spirit.
Forget it, as soon as she saw his expression, she knew that she was not at ease, she cheered up and said, "No need." I'm afraid that he won't think about it, so he said euphemistically, "Next time, I see you're very busy." โ
Qin Muchuan said "um", indicating that he understood.
Shen Ran flattered: "Then, goodbye." โ
Qin Muchuan stared at Wen Jiร n in his hand and didn't respond to her, not only did he not respond, but this time, he didn't even give her a look.
