Chapter 123: I don't want us to be strangers
After hanging up the phone, Tang Luoran sat at his desk, and the cold air poured in through the window, I don't know who opened the window and didn't close it in time.
In order to escape, she lied to Fu Zichen again - saying that he didn't say anything on the phone last night.
"Tang Luoran, I really miss you." Fu Zichen said this on the phone last night, which made her heart beat half a beat slower.
Almost couldn't suppress the feelings that welled up in her heart, before she blurted out, she immediately stopped and chose to be silent, until an even breath came from the other end of the phone - Fu Zichen was obviously asleep.
Now that he calls again, she still chooses to hide the facts, and will continue to hide them in the future.
When he was stunned, Jiang Hanchen was already standing at the door.
Tang Luoran turned sideways to him, but he didn't even notice his existence until Jiang Hanchen took the initiative to knock on the door, "What are you thinking?" β
"Vice Dean, when did you come over?" She was taken aback, and subconsciously turned her head to look, and found that it was Jiang Hanchen, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what I forgot." β
At the mention of this, he was even more nervous than her, and a trace of hesitation flashed on his delicate face, but in an instant, he showed a gentle smile, "Let the past pass, don't think too much." β
If you can do that, that's good.
Responding lightly, Tang Luoran got up and followed his footsteps, turned left, and walked down the corridor, he had been walking in front, if he found that she was slow, he would immediately stop and wait for her to come.
For some reason, since Tang Luoran lost his memory, Jiang Hanchen's relationship with her has grown by leaps and bounds overnight, and now going out to lunch together is no longer something to make a fuss about.
β¦β¦
Sitting down in a window seat in a Western restaurant near the hospital, Jiang Hanchen was still a little worried, "Is it okay to sit in such a transparent position?" What if I get photographed by the media? β
As soon as the words blurted out, he immediately regretted it, and Tang Luoran subconsciously responded, "It's okay - no, I mean I personally think it's okay, but I don't know why you're worried." β
Jiang Hanchen smiled awkwardly, he shook his head and pretended to be stupid, and she didn't pursue it again.
After the waiter removed the plate and replaced it with lemonade, seeing that it was still early, he still said to keep her, "Sit with me for a while, I can finally be alone with you." β
Tang Luoran suddenly felt a heat on her face, she wasn't sure if this feeling was embarrassing, or just embarrassing.
Even though the atmosphere wasn't quite right, she sat down again in obedience, and stirred the lemonade with a straw in her boredom, the crisp sound of the ice cubes shaking to ease her tension.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hanchen still told her, "Although it is not very good to say this when you have amnesia, I think it is not the first time that I have confessed, you should understand my feelings." β
How awkward it sounds like this, after all, it was Zheng Xiaoying who taught him.
While Tang Luoran has forgotten Fu Zichen now, he can take advantage of the loophole, otherwise he doesn't know that he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
As soon as the words fell, the sound of "Dara's" ice cubes stopped, Tang Luoran looked up, she was not surprised, but she didn't expect him to talk about this so quickly, of course, she also guessed that it was Zheng Xiaoying's bad idea.
"I don't want to be friends with you all the time, can I?" Jiang Hanchen seemed to be very calm and even light, the corners of his mouth were always with a smile, and his gaze at her was gentle.
However, the hand on his lap was clenched with nervousness, and he pretended to be calm.
Facing her eyes, she couldn't find anything in Tang Luoran's eyes, she looked a little godless, her expression was in a trance, and her gaze was also erratic, and finally lowered her head, her eyes fell on the glass of lemonade that was too cold, and she didn't look at him.
How to answer this kind of question?
No matter what she thought in her heart, Tang Luoran only knew that if she refused now, it would mean that she did not have amnesia and that the matter would also be exposed-Jiang Hanchen was a smart person, he could definitely see it.
So she didn't refuse, but she didn't agree, she looked up and smiled easily, "I understand your mind, and I also know that one day it will come to this time, but I'm still a little messy now, so give me time to think about it, okay?" β
"Of course." Jiang Hanchen's smile was even stronger, and when his eyes narrowed, it was like a peach blossom, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or lost.
But to say not to be lost is to be a lie.
β¦β¦
After returning to the hospital from the restaurant, Tang Luoran quickly entered the working state, and she didn't have any worries about what had just happened, even she was surprised, but this was also a good thing.
The sky outside the window was always pale, but in the blink of an eye, it was already work time, and night fell, leaving a touch of gray and black.
She changed her white coat in the lounge, put on a hat and scarf, put on a woolen coat, and deliberately lifted the scarf up to cover most of her face, before following the steps of her subordinate colleagues out of the office.
Someone was whispering along the way, but she knew that she was there, so she didn't mention anything about Fu Zichen, but began to sigh about the weather, "Winter is really coming, it snows at both ends in three days, and I haven't seen the sun for several days." β
"Nonsense, the weather is good today." The young male trainee doctor standing next to the nurse patted her on the head with a doting smile on his face.
Tang Luoran stood behind them and slowly went downstairs, if it weren't for the crisp sound of the high heels, she would almost be shaking again.
If Fu Zichen was just a child from an ordinary family, I don't know if they would have come to this point?
didn't have time to think of an answer, because she inadvertently found Fu Zichen who didn't know how long she was standing at the gate of the hospital, even if she was standing far away, she could still tell at a glance that it was him.
It had just snowed, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of white, and he was wearing a dark blue woolen coat, facing sideways to the main entrance of the building, looking up at something he was looking at, and spit out mist from between his thin lips as he breathed.
Tang Luoran subconsciously paused, and the person behind him "tsk", as if he was very dissatisfied with her blocking the way, but he didn't say anything, and walked by her, and she stood firmly.
Somehow, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
This is the first time Fu Zichen has waited for her to get off work, and what she once dreamed of only happened after she lost her memory, how can she not be sad?
Fu Zichen: Is this making amends?
In the end, he couldn't avoid stepping out of his legs and continued to move forward, Tang Luoran grabbed the strap of his handbag, moved his gaze to the side, and pretended to want to pass by him as if nothing happened, although he was a distinct existence to anyone.
It's a pity that the plan didn't succeed, because Fu Zichen stopped her, "Where are you going?" β
Even though she didn't name him, she still subconsciously paused and turned to look at him.
In the next second, she immediately regretted doing this, but Fu Zichen had already walked up to her, he raised his hand to arrange her scarf, lifted it up for her, and said with a smile, "Why are you wearing so much, is it really that cold?" β
He spoke softly, with tenderness between his eyebrows, not like Fu Zichen at all.
In an instant, her heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, Tang Luoran stepped back, and her face was suddenly as hot as fire, but fortunately, the light at the door was dim, and she was in the shadows, so she would not be discovered.
"Why are you here? You're going to track me? She asked in a deep voice, feeling unwilling, "I don't know you at all." β
Pretending to be stupid has always been her forte, so Fu Zichen didn't see the clues, he believed that she didn't remember.
Because even he felt he deserved the punishment.
The protruding Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, Fu Zichen withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and instead reached into the pocket of his woolen coat, he lowered his head, and a mist came out of his mouth, "I know you don't know me, but I know you, and you will slowly remember it in the future, and I am not reluctant." β
"But now, can I take you home?" He asked cautiously, his eyes locked on her pretty face, eager to see a look of surprise.
But the result always backfired, Tang Luoran was stunned for a moment and immediately took two steps back, turned around, and faced him sideways, the outline of her face became clearer under the bleak moonlight, revealing desperation, "I don't think I have a reason to get into a stranger's car." β
After that, the long legs immediately stepped away, Fu Zichen reached out without hesitation to grab her wrist, he still had something to say to her - he was very guilty, and he actually loved her very much.
But it was too late, not because Tang Luoran was unwilling to stop, but because her hand was held by someone other than Fu Zichen, there was no doubt that it was Jiang Hanchen who was chased out of the building.
His face was expressionless, his eyes were aggressive, and he did not exceed the etiquette at all, and reminded Fu Zichen word by word, "Please don't come to Luo Ran again, she is rarely quiet now, can't you let her rest?" β
The strong shoulder shook suddenly, Fu Zichen withdrew his hand, no longer spoke, just glared at him coldly.
Looking at the back of their departure, the fire in Fu Zichen's heart became more and more intense, he simply lowered his head, patted the thin layer of snow accumulated on his shoulder, turned around and returned to the car, looking light on the surface, but the back was full of loneliness.
And Tang Luoran, who was almost half-forced and half-taken away, still couldn't hold back the impulse in her heart, and couldn't help but turn her head to look behind her, seeing him bow his head and pat the snow on his shoulder, and leave immediately, her heart was so sore.
Originally, she also wanted to at least remind him as a stranger that the snow on his shoulders should be patted away......
Turning her head abruptly and finding that Jiang Hanchen was looking at her, Tang Luoran immediately reacted, pursed her lips, and complained to him in an impatient tone, "I really don't know who that person is, I've been annoyed for a few days now, do you know?" β
"I don't know either." Pretending to smile calmly, he ignored a trace of guilt in his heart, and clenched her hand tightly, "I'll take you to the side of the road for a ride, and I'll go back." β
Tang Luoran nodded, a little surprised by his answerβwhy did he lie?
