Chapter 44: Strangers to Each Other

At the beginning, she still intervened between Nangong Meining and Li Yilan, so she got retribution, she was injured very badly by Li Yilan, just one and a half months, it was enough to completely hurt her body, so it is best not to do things that hurt nature and reason, otherwise, it is easy to be retributed.

After eating the hot pot, the snow that had stopped began to fall disturbedly, and after eating the hot pot, I didn't feel cold at all, but my whole body was hot, and I felt a little hot.

Xu Yaran took off the scarf around her neck and the coat on her body, stepped on the snow that had accumulated, and walked on the lively street. After the two colleagues finished eating, they had already taken a taxi and left. Originally, Xu Yaran planned to drive them back, but it was dangerous to drive in winter, and it was not easy to go by the way, so the two of them took a taxi back.

Xu Yaran came out of the hot pot restaurant and did not pick up the car.

She walked around aimlessly, with a coat in her hand and only a woolen sweater.

People who are destined will always meet them inadvertently. However, she and Li Yilan are destined to be a bad relationship, Xu Yaran raised her head and looked at Nangong Meining and Li Yilan who came over, this is a big square, usually there are many people dancing in this big square, but after a few snowfalls, a thick layer of ground has accumulated on the square.

Today's square is not as crowded as in the past, only couples in twos and threes, passing by the square. Xu Yaran walked alone on the Christmas road, looking a little out of place.

From a distance, I saw Li Yilan and Nangong Meining coming towards each other, Xu Yaran looked at it, this square was too big. She didn't even have a place to hide, she could only watch Li Yilan and Nangong Meining walk towards her.

Xu Yaran's fingertips holding the clothes trembled slightly, but she didn't know if it was because the weather was too cold. There was already a layer of sweat on her forehead, wetting the sea in front of her forehead.

Xu Yaran suddenly didn't want to face Li Yilan and Nangong Meining head-on, facing them would remind Xu Yaran of the seemingly happy life in the past month, but it was a little humiliating at the moment. That period of life was stolen by her from Nangong Meining.

Xu Yaran took out her mobile phone from her bag, and involuntarily dialed a phone number that had been deeply remembered in her mind.

"Hey......" A gentle and nice voice came from the phone, which made Xu Yaran's tightly tied strings break with a bang.

"Midnight?" Xu Yaran's voice trembled slightly, accompanied by a little hoarseness.

She is a coward, and many things, she does not have the courage to face. She didn't have the courage to face Nangong Meining and Li Yilan head-on. It's like she once didn't have the courage to tell Yin Ziye that she actually liked him for ten years.

"What's wrong with you?" Yin Ziye heard the abnormality in Xu Yaran's voice, and he asked a little nervously. As for why he was so nervous, it was probably because he felt that he was sorry for Xu Yaran, so he didn't want Xu Yaran to be hurt again. Yin Ziye said this to himself in his heart, and found a good excuse for his concern for Xu Yaran.

"I'm fine, I just wanted to say to you, Merry Christmas." Xu Yaran tried her best to calm her voice, and tried not to shake her hand holding the phone so much.

She took each step cautiously, looking down at her toes, expecting them to pass by. However, she does not have the courage to face others, which does not mean that others do not have the courage to face him.

Xu Yaran looked down at the two pairs of shoes parked in front of her, her eyes were a little moist, and a tear fell out of her eyes.

"You are Merry Christmas too." Yin Ziye's voice was gentle, as if it had a healing effect, and hearing Yin Ziye's voice, Xu Yaran felt that her heart didn't seem to hurt so much.

"You know what? It's snowing this year's Christmas, and I haven't seen a snowy Christmas in years. Xu Yaran looked at the two pairs of shoes, thinking about how long the owner of the two pairs of shoes would move away from his face.

"Really? It must be beautiful, right? Yin Ziye pushed open the window and looked at the white expanse outside, it was true that he hadn't seen a snowy Christmas for many years. He stretched out his hand, and a piece of snow fell on his hand, and the snow melted after a while, looking at the melted snow, Yin Ziye's eyes were a little lonely.

Xu Yaran's hand holding the phone was slightly forced, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a bitter arc. It turns out that laughter does not really represent happiness, sometimes it also represents helplessness and reality.

"Yes......" Xu Yaran's voice was hoarse, and she trembled slightly.

"Where are you now?" Yin Ziye withdrew his hand, held the snow that had melted into water tightly in his palm, and asked in a gentle voice with a little firmness.

Xu Yaran didn't know why Li Yilan asked her like this, but she still said: "I'm in New Times Square." ”

"Okay, then you wait for me for ten minutes and stand there still." Yin Ziye said to Xu Yaran.

Xu Yaran nodded, but thinking that Yin Ziye couldn't see it on the other end of the phone, she responded in a low voice: "Okay, I'll wait for you here." Xu Yaran's words sounded more like a promise.

There was a blind tone on the other side of the phone. Xu Yaran looked at the pair of shoes in front of her, still staying in front of her, she knew that today's events didn't seem to be so easy to fool.

Xu Yaran took a deep breath, she raised her head, and her gaze fell on Nangong Meining's body. She didn't look at Li Yilan from beginning to end, so it was impossible for her to see the emotion on Li Yilan's face.

"Miss Nangong is so coincidental, are you also here to go shopping?" Xu Yaran looked at Nangong Meining with a calm expression, but she didn't dare to look at Nangong Meining's eyes.

"yes, go out with a friend. Li Yilan, you've seen it, I don't need to introduce it again, right? What about you? Is there just one person? Nangong Meining smiled very kindly and naturally.

"Yes......" Xu Yaran heard that Nangong Meining had already mentioned Li Yilan, so she couldn't pretend that she hadn't seen Li Yilan's existence, otherwise, Nangong Meining would definitely see the trick in it. Xu Yaran felt that her thoughts were a little funny, she should be worried that Nangong Meining saw that the person was Li Yilan, right? But he was a thief, and he was afraid that Nangong Meining would see something.

"Hello Mr. Li, we meet again." Xu Yaran's smile was brilliant, as if Li Yilan was really just a friend she hadn't seen for a long time and wasn't familiar with, and she couldn't find anything wrong.

Li Yilan's brows furrowed tightly, and she looked at the thin sweater on Xu Yaran's body, as well as the coat and towel that Xu Yaran held in her hand. He remembered that Xu Yaran was most afraid of the cold, and when the weather was just getting colder, Xu Yaran couldn't wait to wear all the clothes on his body. When you are at home, the temperature of the air conditioner should also be turned high. She likes to hug warm pillows and curl up on the couch like a puppy.

Now seeing that Xu Yaran is wearing such thin, Li Yilan especially wants to go up and pick up the clothes in Xu Yaran's hand and help Xu Yaran put them on, but he can't help it. Since he chose this path himself, then he should not regret it. And there is nothing to regret, no matter what, there can only be one woman standing next to him.

"We're going back now, should I drop you off?" Nangong Meining asked, she didn't see Xu Yaran's car, so she thought that Xu Yaran didn't drive over. She and Xu Yaran are also in-laws, the people of the Nangong family have always been protective of their shortcomings, and now that they see Xu Yaran alone, Nangong Meining wants to send Xu Yaran back.

Xu Yaran shook her head and said, "No need, I drove over by myself." And I'm still waiting for a friend, you guys go back first, I can do it by myself. ”

"Why don't we go to the front and have a cup of coffee before we go." Li Yilan opened his mouth and said.

He wanted to see who Xu Yaran was waiting for. When Xu Yaran was talking on the phone just now, her voice was very gentle, and it could be seen that she trusted the person on the other side of the phone very much, and she was also dependent. Although she had already made a decision, Li Yilan still wanted to know who the other party was. Sometimes men are very selfish, Li Yilan does not deny that he is also a very selfish man.

Obviously, he has already made a decision to break off with Xu Yaran, and it is the most hurtful way to choose, but he still wants to interfere with the other party's love life. She and Xu Yaran have only been separated for more than half a month, and he is still somewhat influenced by Xu Yaran.

"Okay, let's go have a drink." Nangong Meining nodded, and did not deny Li Yilan's suggestion, she nodded and said.

Now that the two of them have agreed, Xu Yaran can't say anything more. After all, if it were an ordinary person, he would not refuse. Although Xu Yaran was reluctant to drink coffee, she had not forgotten that the role she was playing now was that of an ordinary person, so she could only deal with this matter according to the logic of ordinary people.

Look, she really owes Li Yilan. In front of Li Yilan, he couldn't even do it himself. can only strive for greater benefits for Li Yilan, so as to play a different role.

Sitting in the café with the two of them, Xu Yaran sat quietly opposite Li Yilan and Nangong Meining, stirring the coffee in the cup in her hand. Now she doesn't want to drink coffee at all, in fact she used to like a lot of things, but now she doesn't. But in front of Li Yilan, for Li Yilan's sake, she couldn't say no.

What a ridiculous thing it was, neither of them came to a consensus. In front of Nangong Meining, the people who were once the closest can now only play the role of strangers to each other.
