Chapter 239: A Wordless Goodbye
Because Ji Ran and Li Chaonan rarely see each other these days, this meeting is very cordial, and when the two go to choose seafood with a plate, they don't forget to ask each other about each other's lives.
"How? Great writer, how are you doing lately? Li Chaonan asked with a smile.
"Hehe, it's still like that, not long ago, the writers' association came to the invitation letter, saying that if I have the intention, I can write an application, and the association will consider it, but now I am hesitating, I don't know if I should write this application." Ji Ran said.
Hearing this, Li Chaonan was taken aback, "The Writers' Association is going to recruit you as a member?" ”
"Be quiet, I haven't written a word yet, people just said let me write an application, as for it, I have to say another, I'm just afraid that I'm hot, and if I don't pass the application, wouldn't it be very embarrassing? What's more, the old-timers in the writers' association are all old writers with profound literary skills, and I am just an online writer, where can I be qualified to be on an equal footing with others? So, I was hesitant. Ji Ran said embarrassedly.
When Li Chaonan heard this, he pursed his lips, "What's this?" The seniors of the writers' association invited you, which means that people recognize you, at this time, if you don't know how to lift, people still think that you are a shelf, this application letter must be written. ”
"Do you really want to write?"
"I have to write it, how can I let go of such a good opportunity?" Li Chaonan said with certainty.
Ji Ran listened to Li Chaonan's suggestion, as if he had taken a reassuring pill, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, then I'll write an application letter and try it." ”
Li Chaonan smiled and nodded, "En." When the time comes, you will join the writers' association, but don't forget to treat yourself, great writer. ”
"Huh. I can't forget you. Ji Ran said with a smile.
For eating buffets, Ji Ran has his own three picks, the so-called three picks are: pick the expensive to eat, pick the less to eat, and pick the food you don't know, and the same is true for seafood, what big fish and prawns. I'm used to seeing it on weekdays, and it's not expensive, if you just eat these. It definitely won't be able to get back its roots, but there was a big crab that attracted Ji Ran's attention.
Ji Ran recognized it as king crab, and when he went to Wanbei City with Hong Dali before, he had eaten it once. It's just that. Since then, Ji Ran has never had this kind of good mouth, but I didn't expect to meet it here again after a few years, of course Ji Ran won't let it go.
"Superman, let's go, go pick a king crab." Ji Ran pulled Li Chaonan towards the king crab area, only to see the huge aquarium. A few king crabs were dancing their teeth and claws, as if they were saying to Ji Ran, "Eat me." Come and eat me! ”
Ji Ran smiled, eat you and eat you, picked a big king crab and let the chef put it in the pot.
The king crab shell is thick, so it takes a while to cook, and this time has become a good time for Ji Ran and Li Chaonan to chat.
"Hey, it's been going so fast, how's it going? Did the two of them steal the forbidden fruit? Ji Ran asked with a smile.
Li Chaonan frowned, "Me with him?" How can it be? I haven't even held my hand. ”
When Ji Ran heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "Won't it?" Is he so conservative? ”
Li Chaonan pursed his lips, "It's not that he's conservative, it's that I don't let him lead, to be honest, I don't have feelings for him." ”
Ji Ran turned his head to look at Chen Kangjian, who was chatting with Wang Le, judging from his speech and demeanor, he was not a very rude person, how could Li Chaonan resist him so much?
"Is there something wrong with him?" Ji Ran asked.
Li Chaonan shook his head, "I didn't pay much attention to this, overall it was fine, and there was nothing wrong with it, but I just didn't call him." ”
Ji Ran smiled and pursed his lips, "Okay, don't be so picky, I heard Wang Le say that people will go to your company to pick you up every day after work, and they are better for you than for his own mother, what else do you have to choose?"
Besides, people don't make less money than you, so cultivate your relationship well, and if you can't do it, just communicate with him, which will enhance your relationship. ”
Ji Ran said, ** blinked, Li Chaonan heard this, and a layer of goosebumps arose all over his body, "Communicate with him?" I might as well talk to the gherkins. ”
After a while, the king crab was cooked and served to the table, although everyone at the table was talking and laughing, but whether it was Ji Ran or Wang Le, they all felt that between Li Chaonan and Chen Kangjian, there was some disagreement, on the surface they were talking and laughing, but their eyes were very empty, and there was no emotional exchange between Ji Ran and Wang Le, which made the situation of the two a little awkward.
Of course, this is a matter between Li Chaonan and Chen Kangjian, and besides, emotional matters cannot be forced, Ji Ran and Wang Le are not easy to say, pretending not to see anything, and continue to eat and drink, talking and laughing.
After lunch, the four said goodbye, Wang Le drove Ji Ran back to school, and Chen Kangjian drove Li Chaonan back to Wang Le's company.
On the way back to school, Ji Ran also talked to Wang Le about Li Chaonan and Chen Kangjian.
"It's been so long, why are the two of them still like strangers? What's the problem? Ji Ran asked.
Wang Le shook his head with a smile, "How do I know?" Those two people are indeed a little inseparable, but seriously, I think Chen Kangjian is not bad, and he is absolutely sincere to Li Chaonan, but your good sister seems to be lukewarm to others, and most of the problem is Li Chaonan. ”
Ji Ran nodded thoughtfully, "I think so, Superman always said that he didn't feel anything with Chen Kangjian, could it be that she already has someone she likes, right?" ”
"And you don't know yet?" Wang Le asked with a smile.
Ji Ran thought about it, and I never heard that Li Chaonan liked someone?
Before meeting Chen Kangjian, Li Chaonan had never even been in love once, let alone heard that she liked a certain boy, when he was in school, Li Chaonan was always very indifferent to boys, and even once made Ji Ran think that Li Chaonan was a lala, and after graduating from college, I didn't see Li Chaonan dragging with any man, strictly speaking, Chen Kangjian should be the first man Li Chaonan came into contact with.
"But that's weird, don't supermen like men?" Ji Ran thought strangely.
Wang Le was amused, "She doesn't like men and still likes women?" ”
Ji Ran shook his head, "Although Superman has some female personality, her orientation should be normal, and I haven't seen her have any weird behaviors in school." ”
"Maybe it's fate that hasn't arrived, and when fate comes, it will naturally come to fruition, just like when I was chasing you, didn't you ignore me at first? Later, I stalked and stalked you to marry you a goblin. Wang Le said with a smile.
Ji Ran's pretty face flushed, and his little hand twisted on Wang Le's arm, and Wang Le, who was in pain, grinned for a while, "Don't, don't, drive, it's dangerous." ”
"Hmph, you are bold, dare to call me a little goblin."
"Hehe, that's praising you, describing a woman as beautiful, just saying that she looks like a goblin." Wang Le argued with a smile.
"You're a goblin, that's ugly."
"The goblin is not a vixen, what's so ugly? The word came from the West, and the goblins in the West refer to elves, and elves are so beautiful. Wang Le said with a smile.
"Okay, don't be poor, concentrate on driving." Ji Ran rolled his eyes and said.
After Li Chaonan got into Chen Kangjian's car, the car only drove for a while, and Li Chaonan asked Chen Kangjian to park on the side of the road.
Chen Kangjian looked at Li Chaonan inexplicably, "Chaonan, aren't you going back to the company?" ”
Li Chaonan smiled, "Yes, but I'll go back to the apartment first." ”
"I'll send you." Chen Kangjian said.
"No need, you have to go to work in the afternoon, don't delay you, I'll just take a taxi back by myself." Li Chaonan said and got out of the car.
Chen Kangjian was a little anxious, and in a hurry, he reached out and grabbed Li Chaonan's hand, "Chaonan, don't go, what did I do wrong?" Why do you keep snubbing me so much? If it's my shortcomings, I'm willing to correct them for you and give me a chance, okay? ”
Li Chaonan frowned and broke free of Chen Kangjian's hand, "Mr. Chen, you are a good person, there is nothing to change, it's just that I don't think the two of us are suitable, you better find someone else." ”
Li Chaonan finally couldn't help but say what was in his heart, Chen Kangjian's heart hurt like a knife, the corners of his mouth trembled, but he couldn't say a word.
Li Chaonan looked at Chen Kangjian so uncomfortable, and he was a little unbearable, but emotional things can't be forced, if you love someone, you must be prepared to be injured in advance, love is giving, not taking, not paying, you will get something, so even if Chen Kangjian loves Li Chaonan wholeheartedly, in the end, he can't get any mercy.
Li Chaonan got out of the car, took a taxi and left, Chen Kangjian held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his breathing became slightly short, his mood was very dull, and he seemed to have a big stone pressed on his chest, and he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe......
I don't know how long it took for Chen Kangjian to come back to his senses from his sadness, take a deep breath, and drive away slowly.
The reason why Li Chaonan hurriedly returned to the apartment, in fact, was because he was worried about Hong Dali, although Hong Dali's injury at this time had recovered a lot, but Li Chaonan still wanted to take care of him personally, so he bought a roast chicken on the way and brought it back.
When Li Chaonan returned to the apartment, he found that the apartment was empty, and there was a note on the coffee table in the room, "Chaonan, thank you, I will never forget your kindness in this life, I took a photo of you, I will think of you when I see her, forget me, go back to your life, I wish you happiness." ”
Looking at this note, Li Chaonan's heart instantly froze, as if he was tightly captured by a hand, and he was even suffocating his breath, these days, the reason why his life is full of fun and his face is full of smiles is entirely because of Hong Dali's company, although he also thought that he would separate, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, so suddenly, and he didn't even say goodbye.
Li Chaonan didn't know where Hong Dali went, and he didn't know if he would come back, looking at the empty room, Li Chaonan's heart instantly became cold, and the cold was about to break, and he forgot the pain numbly. (To be continued......)
