Because he saved Ruan Zhi, he was Bai Ming'an's friend. I was left for lunch, and I had no choice but to respond to the enthusiasm.

At the dinner table, several other members of the Ruan family appeared, namely Ruan Lan's third aunt, fourth uncle and their respective spouses, and the strange thing is that there is only one junior in this family.

The niece brought her boyfriend to the door, and Bai Ming'an naturally became the object of everyone's scrutiny, their eyes were either vague or calm, all cast on the handsome figure, and I looked at him from the side, and I sweated for him when I watched from the side.

The only one staring at me was that Aunt Ruan, who looked at me coldly from beginning to end, and this meal was really indigestion.

After the meal, I wanted to find an opportunity to say a few words to Bai Ming'an, and ask Song Li when he would leave and which direction he would go. Because I sent messages to the past, he didn't reply, which made me a little worried.

Unfortunately, as soon as I got up, Bai Ming'an was dragged to tea by the men of the Ruan family, and Aunt Ruan came out and blew the wind on the side: "Miss Ning, what's wrong?" ”

I rolled my eyes and said, "Nothing." Thank you for your hospitality, and when I'm done eating, I should go too. ”

When Aunt Ruan heard me say this, an expression appeared on her face, as if she was saying, "You know each other", I said twice, while glancing at the direction of Bai Ming'an's departure, while thinking in my heart.

At this time, I can only turn to Ruan Lan for help.

As soon as the thought came out, Ruan Lan's gentle voice came: "Ning Huan, it's almost noon now, the weather is so hot, you can rest at my house for a while, and wait for the sun to be less big before leaving." ”

Aunt Ruan glared at her dissatisfiedly: "Miss Renning herself said that she was leaving, why are you forced to keep people?" ”

Ruan Lan's face turned red when she was said. I couldn't answer, so I hurriedly said: "No, I think Ruan Lan's proposal is very good, well, it's like a barbecue fire outside, Auntie won't want me to stay and rest, right?" ”

I looked at her, blinked, tried to look innocent, and managed to gag her.

Some people, you have to compare her with someone who is thick-skinned.

Aunt Ruan snorted. Turned around and walked away.

Ruan Lan smiled apologetically at me. Say to me, "I'll take you to the guest room." ”

"Okay." I nodded.

On the way, we were relatively silent, and the courtyard of the Ruan family was very large and the corridor was very long. This makes the atmosphere of silence between the two particularly torturous. I endured it for a while. Finally the first to speak.

"That's right. You and Bai Ming'an—"

"Me and Hethan—"

At the same time, they opened their mouths and interrupted each other's words, and both of them were stunned. In the end, Ruan Lan laughed and said quietly: "You can say it first." ”

I nodded, but when the words came to my mouth, I involuntarily turned around and asked her, "Before you and Bai Ming'an set off, was Song Li with you?" ”

Ruan Lan was stunned for a moment before she said, "No, Brother Song Li left ahead of schedule, and he has been worried about you since he received your text message." Why, didn't you get in touch on the road? ”

Leaving ahead of schedule, no, no matter how it is, it will not be slower than Ruan Lan and Bai Ming'an, who set off late, and what is even more tangled is that he has not replied to my text messages.

However, I didn't express my worries, and looking at Ruan Lan's appearance, it was obvious that she had her own troubles.

"Oh, he might have something to do." I said.

"That's how it should be." Ruan Lan pulled a light smile, the smile seemed to float on her face, only to show for a second and then disappear, followed by a long silence.

I couldn't help beating the drum in my heart, I blamed the damn Li Rin, just go, why did I say that sentence, fortunately, I didn't die happened to be heard by Ruan Lan, alas.

After a while, the person had already walked to the courtyard of the guest room, and Ruan Lan finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Ning Huan, you are a woman, can you tell me that he is ...... Do you like that person very much? ”

I was stunned when I heard this, there was a big tree in the yard under the summer sun, the lush leaves blocked the eaves, blocking part of the sunlight, and the golden light sprinkled down through the layers of leaves, and became light and shadow on the ground.

Ruan Lan shouldn't have asked this question, not me, to be exact.

After all, I was actually a rival of hers, and I scratched my hair a little awkwardly, looked down at my toes on the ground, and turned my head to look at the scenery in the yard.

"Remember what I told you last time."

There was no head or brain, but Ruan Lan understood, and there was a trace of bitterness at the corner of her mouth, "Remember, you said that no matter what, my position in Ming'an's heart is as important as her." ”

Now that she knew it, I swallowed my saliva and was about to preach, but she cut it off: "But that was before, I ...... now" Her voice lowered, her broken hair was pressed against her cheeks, and her already beautiful face added a little weakness.

She whispered, "The more I love him, the more I can't bear to have another person in his heart, and besides, I am still a substitute for that person." ”

The warm wind blows, and the air smells fresh.

There are thousands of women trapped by love, there are thousands of women in this world, and I can't comfort Ruan Lan, just as I couldn't accept anyone's comfort when I was out of love. Lying on the bed in the guest room, I thought, she just needed time.

It's complicated, but it's clear when you think about it. The story of Bai Ming'an and that Ruan Lan happened in front of him, and no one can erase it, so Ruan Lan has only two choices - either endure or go.

What would she think?

It's probably not something I'm controlling. Lying down and waiting for Song Li's text message for a while, I gradually became sleepy.

The dream tide was surging, the sea was lapping against the rocks, and a man on the shore sat with his back to him, he held that position for a long time without changing, and the sound of the sea was crisp, and finally he stood up, turned his head sideways and smiled inexplicably at me, revealing an elegant face.

In the next second, he made a sharp move, rolled over and jumped into the sea.

Thump.

Drink! I woke up suddenly, and a cold sweat broke out on my forehead. Leaning on the head of the bed, I gasped slightly, and I actually had nightmares in broad daylight, and it was Ruan Zhi who dreamed of it.

What's going on?

I remembered what Ruan Zhi said before, he wanted to die. I couldn't help frowning. Could it be that he had been thinking about suicide for a long time, and that crashing was not his first attempt?

No, I pinched the corner of my pillow and noticed that my heart was beating faster, as if - something was going to happen......

No, I'll have to go out and have a look.

I rolled over and got out of bed, walking through the corridors and alleys with my memory, and the huge Ruan family's house was not cleaned by the so-called subordinates, and this strange phenomenon was left behind after a short stay in my mind.

Crossing the front hall, I carefully recalled the direction in which the Ruan family man had pulled Bai Ming'an. Where? Oh, it should be here. I turned left and went around, and after entering a courtyard. Nguyen Chi was found sitting on the railing.

I smiled happily. I was about to call him: "Mr. Nguyen—" What is that?

My eyes widened suddenly. Damn, this guy is going to kill himself. I didn't have time to think about it, so I rushed straight over. threw himself down and knocked him down, and the two of them fell to the ground together, and even he fell to the ground and his head was dizzy.

Not long after we fell to the ground, a throwing knife fell from the upper railing of the walkway and plunged straight into the dirt.

I got up and glared at Ruan Zhi angrily: "What are you crazy about?" ”

It's not enough to die once, but to come a second time? Knowing that there was a flying knife on it that was about to fall off, he was still sitting in a dangerous place, and even looked up!

I suddenly came to my senses: "That knife, you can't have shot it yourself, right?" "Fuck, I'm sick in the head.

Ruan Zhi, who was thrown to the ground by me, lay there for a while, quietly listening to my madness, and hearing my questioning words, the corners of his mouth tugged lightly, as if he was saying a homely thing: "Yes, it's just a little bit, it's a pity." ”

He sighed slightly, and his eyes did reveal a genuine regret.

My anger rose up all of a sudden, stood up, and looked at him condescendingly, with undisguised contempt in his eyes, "What are you?" A big man with hands and feet, what difficulties can't he get over? Repeatedly trying to end your own life? Are you ashamed? Ever thought about others? ”

Although I am an orphan, it doesn't mean that I don't understand the emotions of people with families, Ruan Zhi, the relatives of the family, if he dies, Ruan Lan's elders will not have to cry to death.

"The first time you crashed, you didn't succeed, do you know why?" I glared at him, "This is God's revelation to you, even though you are a stupid pig-headed, he still gives you a chance to let you live well, understand?" You give me a life! ”

I scolded him, but his expression was very calm, but it seemed that my chest was heaving and his breath was unsteady.

Looking at his indifferent appearance, I yelled at him angrily: "Look at what! ”

If the previous scolding is still bitter, the last roar is purely an exposure of my true nature, a complete shrewd temperament. Ruan Zhi was stunned, and after his expression stagnated for three seconds, he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha......" he clutched his stomach and rolled on the ground, "Ning, Ning Huan, you are so, too funny...... I swear, you're the funniest person I've ever seen in my life......"

"......" I stared at him with a dark face.

Finally, he laughed enough, straightened up and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his temperament returned to elegance, "Ning Huan, are you really interesting?" If he chooses you instead of Lan Lan, maybe you will be happier. ”

"What?" I was confused when I heard it, how did it get to Ruan Lan.

Faced with my doubts, Ruan Zhi didn't mean to answer, but got up from the ground and sat back on the original railing, looked sideways and back, pointed to the flying knife on the ground, and raised his eyebrows: "If I said that I was going to jump down and pick it up, you probably wouldn't allow it, right?" ”

I narrowed my eyes and sat down next to him, my back just blocking his view so that he could not see the sharp weapon stuck in the mud, and said in a cold tone, "I advise you that you better not." ”

I clasped my hands to my chest and said, "You don't want anyone else to know your secret." ”

Ruan Zhi looked over with some surprise: "Are you threatening me?" ”

I raised my eyebrows: "It's just a kind reminder." ”

Ruan Zhi shook his head and smiled, for a long time, sighed softly, and when he looked up again, a little flash flashed in his light brown pupils, looking at me expectantly and provocatively, and said, "I have a bigger and more hidden secret, do you want to know?" ”

I shook my eyebrows and didn't speak.

Ruan Zhi said to himself: "This secret has a lot to do with why I want to commit suicide. ”

The afternoon sun is hot with a kind of inertia, which makes people's bodies weak and their heads dizzy, and they just want to find a place to lie down, thinking about nothing and doing nothing.

And I, in the courtyard of the Ruan family's house, sat on a railing with a young man who had known him for only a few hours, and listened to him tell his story: "Do you know, I once heard people say that the greatest blessing in this life is to live a long life. The quest for longevity never ends, and as a child I heard that adults would do anything to kill each other in order to prolong their lives.

However, Ning Huan, do you know that immortality is not as beautiful as imagined, more often it is just a curse. A curse that brings you untold pain.

The secret I'm about to tell you may sound ridiculous to others, but I know you won't. Although Lan Lan didn't say it, Bai Ming'an's cold and withdrawn temperament is not something that people engaged in ordinary professions have, I have lived two lifetimes, and I know a little about those things on the road.

Bai Ming'an has a corrupt aura on his body, which is very light, so I think he should be a ghost collector. You said that you used to be his assistant, so you are no stranger to ghosts and gods, and supernatural things. You're very good, as of this year, my actual age is one hundred and eighty-four.

This life is already my second life on earth.

In my last life, I lived to be one hundred and fifty years old, and by that age all my family and people I knew were already dead, and I thought I would not die, but at the age of one hundred and fifty there was a turnaround, and there was a man who ...... With the help of me, I ended my long lonely life as I wished.

When I woke up, I became a baby and started my second life with a brand new body. So far, thirty-four years have passed. ”

Ruan Zhi's voice has always been very gentle, without ups and downs, without the climax of narrating the story, and his attitude has always been controlled in the range of indifference. I heard that my heart was already turbulent, and I would never have guessed this layer if I wanted to break my head!

He said before that he wanted to commit suicide because he lived too long, and I always thought that the pessimists who were not sick ** were pretentious, who would have thought ......

There were too many curiosities, too many questions, but they all took a back seat in the face of politeness and respect, and I suppressed it for a while before I cautiously asked, "You mean, you lived a long time and died again?" After being reborn, you still carry the memories of your previous life? ”

Ruan Zhi nodded, and said softly: "My situation is not considered to be reborn, and the family members in the previous life are not these people. ”

"Oh." I nodded vigorously as I understood, and I felt a little more sympathetic in addition to being surprised, Chinese people often say that people can be reincarnated after death, and they can get a bowl of soup at Meng Po under the Nai He Bridge, and they can forget the past after drinking it, and they can start again after stepping into reincarnation. Ruan Zhi's situation is really a bit miserable.

As the only person who has lived so long and carried the memories of his past life, I am afraid that no one can understand the loneliness and depression he endured.

I nodded, suddenly remembered, and asked curiously: "By the way, you said that when you were one hundred and fifty years old, there was a turning point, and someone helped you, who was it?" ”

Ruan Zhi's eyes drooped slightly, and when he raised them again, his gaze seemed to be a lot deeper, and he had a vagina: "Ning Huan, one day, you will regret saving me." (To be continued.) )
