"Things are going so well today, thanks to Ringo's help. I invite everyone out to dinner in the evening. "Chubby was just hungry, and after eating something casually in the dormitory, he became lively again.

"You have to compensate me well, not only did you carry you for so long today, but also made me lie in front of Teacher Chen, and I'm sorry for my hard work this day if I don't slaughter you hard."

"It's okay, I have a lot of meat on my body, you can slaughter it as you like."

During the meal, Lin Huan told his three roommates about his plan to go home to live, although he regretted it, he respected Lin Huan's choice. However, it is easier to apply for a dormitory at the university, as long as you sign the disclaimer and admit that all the accidents that occurred during the stay abroad have nothing to do with the school, then you can leave the dormitory at any time. However, since he is not a poor student, he will not be refunded the accommodation fee, and the dormitory of the school is still reserved, so he can come back at any time if he wants to live.

In this way, there may be fewer and fewer opportunities for several people to sit and eat together like they do now. So a few people drank some wine today.

Also at dinner in the evening, Chen Xinran answered a phone call, but since answering the call, Chen Xinran's mood has become very low, and the whole person has lost the vitality that he usually has.

After going home with Shangguan Le, he didn't sweat as usual, and went to rest alone before eight o'clock.

Shangguan Le could see that Chen Xinran was in a bad mood today, so he didn't make a noise about her as usual, and let her go to the bedroom alone.

In Shangguan Le's eyes, Chen Xinran is such a strong person, she is not only very good, but she has a bad temper, she has offended many people over the years, how many times she has been in danger, it was Chen Xinran who saved herself. She is optimistic, strong, no matter what turmoil, she will stand in front of herself, not let herself be hurt a little, and she has a withdrawn personality, is not good at communicating with people, speaks straightforwardly and quickly, Chen Xinran has also taught herself a lot in dealing with people. In the few years they have been together, she has already become the pillar and shield of Shangguan Le. But with such a person, it turned out that she would also be sad and sad, although Shangguan Le didn't know what happened to her. But Shangguan Le had never seen Xinran like this.

The helplessness and sadness she felt after answering the phone was almost written on her face. Shangguan Le experienced the word empathy for the first time, and just now Chen Xinran saw Shangguan Le's concerned gaze, and didn't say anything, just reluctantly showed her a smile, so that he didn't have to worry. But I'm afraid Chen Xinran herself doesn't know how bitter her smile is in Shangguan Le's eyes, and how distressed Shangguan Le's pretend strength is.

Shangguan Le didn't fiddle with her musical instruments today, she was afraid that the sound she made would affect Chen Xinran, but Shangguan Le had never comforted others after living for so many years, and she also wanted to comfort and comfort Xinran, but she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing and it would backfire. Shangguan Le searched on the Internet for how to comfort others, but what he found on the Internet was all self-talk, without any reference at all, and he searched on the Internet for a long time without any results. Shangguan Le turned off the computer in distress, and the time was not early, so it was better to rest early.

Shangguan Le came to the bedroom, thinking that Xinran had already fallen asleep, but he didn't expect that the decorative lamp at the bedside was still on, although the light was weak, he could see Chen Xinran lying on the bed clearly.

Chen Xinran lay on his side with his eyes closed, his head not resting on the pillow. The whole person curled up together, like a newborn baby.

Approaching Chen Xinran's face, Shangguan Le saw that Chen Xinran still had a little tear stain on his face, obviously crying just now.

Shangguan Le took off his shoes and lay on the bed facing Chen Xinran. With some pity, she hugged Chen Xinran in her arms, feeling that Chen Xinran was not struggling, obviously she also knew that no one else would appear in this bedroom.

Shangguan Le hugged Chen Xinran tighter, and whispered in Chen Xinran's ear: "Xinran, don't be sad." ”

Although Shangguan Le also wanted to know why Chen Xinran was sad, he wanted Chen Xinran not to be so sad anymore.

Chen Xinran smelled the faint aroma of Shangguan Le's body, shrank his head into her arms again, and couldn't help sobbing.

Feeling Chen Xinran in his arms, he cried faintly. Shangguan Le wondered if he had made Xinran even more sad?

Shangguan Le rubbed Chen Xinran's short hair with one hand, and gently patted Chen Xinran's back with the other, as if coaxing a crying baby.

"I'm so happy, don't cry."

Chen Xinran was so amused by Shangguan Le's small movements that she broke away from Shangguan Le's arms and pointed her finger at Shangguan Le's delicate nose.

"Lele, do you treat me like a child?"

Shangguan Le smiled a little embarrassedly, "Xinran, are you still uncomfortable?" I was worried just now. ”

"Don't worry, I'm Chen Xinran, no one can beat me." Chen Xinran wiped the tears from her face with her hands, and said with a smile, it can be seen that her smile at this time is not pretending to be strong.

Chen Xinran and Shangguan Le were lying side by side on the bed, and they had already turned off the lights at this time, but tonight's bright moon was hanging high, and the stars in the sky were also shining, so it was not like they couldn't see their fingers in the bedroom.

"Lele, I'll tell you a story, do you want to hear it?" Chen Xinran turned his head to look at Shangguan Le who was lying beside him, and said softly.

"Okay." Shangguan Le knew that the story that Chen Xinran was about to tell, and the eight achievements were the reason why she was sad and sad today.

"The protagonists of the story are my parents." Chen Xinran told the story.

"At that time, they were still very young, my father was a so-called literary youth, drawing comics for a living, at that time the Internet was not developed, and my father still had some foundation, so he worked in a comic club, although the income was not much, but it was enough to make a living.

And my mother's family conditions are quite good, the family runs a supermarket, the whole family is counting on the supermarket for a living, my grandparents due to years of hard work, my mother died when she was in her twenties, maybe at that time, my mother already knew my dad.

In fact, my mother is two years older than my father, and more than 20 years ago, it was rare for a woman to be older than a man. I don't know what the reason is, my mom fell in love with my dad, maybe that's what the book says about love without knowing what to do, and going deep. But I think it's probably because my dad draws comics all day, so he loses a lot of well-being, and that kind of literary atmosphere may be very attractive to my mother, who runs a supermarket and is busy all day.

Naturally, my dad wouldn't like a woman who was two years older than him, especially my mom wasn't pretty, but my mom was rich, and my dad might have taken a fancy to my mom's money, in short, the two of them were together. According to my mom, in the relationship between the two of them, my mom has always been the active party. Maybe my dad never loved my mom from beginning to end, he was only with my mom because of money.

After they got married, my father's job in the comic club became more and more sluggish, but my mother's supermarket was getting better and better, and I think it had something to do with my mother's hard work. So my dad quit that job and spent the whole day loitering.

Later, when I was very young, my dad got into the bad habit of gambling, and gambling has always been deeper and deeper. He lost all the money that the family could lose, and my mother was really stupid at that time, every time she said that she would never give my dad money again, but every time my dad came back and said a few soft words, my mom gave my dad the money she had saved to gamble. However, my mother still has a bottom line, that is, the supermarket passed down by my grandparents cannot be moved, so the life of the family has been going on.

My mom probably saw my dad too, when I was ten years old, the two of them finally divorced, in fact, I was still very happy in this way, because in my childhood memory, my mom was always bullied by my dad, and I always saw my mom crying alone at night.

It's not that easy to do. My dad still wouldn't let us go, he knew that my mom still had money, after all, such a big supermarket would definitely have income. Every once in a while, he would come to my mom and ask for money, and sometimes my mom would hide the money, and if he didn't find it, she would punch and kick the two of us. It's just that I don't know why, my mom never called the police, maybe she still has a little fantasy about my dad in her heart.

Before I graduated from elementary school, I went to learn taekwondo, and I studied it very seriously because I wanted to protect my mother, and since she didn't want to call the police, I had to rely on my own hands.

I remember that time I was in the third year of junior high school, he came to ask the two of us for money again, it happened that I was doing my homework at home that day, after hearing my mother's crying, I came out and beat him up for the first time, I hit him and lost several of his front teeth, he cried and shouted to promise me that he would never come to us again. ”

After talking for so long, Shangguan Le finally saw Chen Xinran have a smile on his face.

Sure enough, from that day on, he never dared to come to us again. When I was in my second year of high school, your dad came to see me, and my uncle asked me to accompany you to college to keep you safe, and my uncle bought my supermarket, and gave my mom enough money to buy two of those supermarkets. He also told my mother that if my father dared to harass him again, I would notify him as soon as possible. That's why I feel comfortable going to school so far away, otherwise I would definitely stay with my mother. ”

Shangguan Le knew about what Chen Xinran said at the end, and when his father did this, he told him in advance.

"But this afternoon, my mom called and said my dad was coming to her again. Unlike before, this time my mother's voice sounded very happy, she said that her father knew that he was wrong before, and now he wants his mother to give him another chance, and he wants to live a good life with his mother. For my father, I will never believe him again in my life, but my mother was stupid again, she believed it, and said that she would remarry my father and start again. ”

Chen Xinran sighed. "I was sad for my mother in the afternoon, she had loved someone who didn't love her at all her life, even if she was covered in bruises, still like a moth to a fire, and I was almost certain that it was only a matter of time before they would have another conflict in the future. It's just that my mom is almost fifty years old, and she can't afford to be frustrated anymore. I think my dad definitely didn't have any money to spend, and he happened to know that I wasn't with my mom, so he dared to lie to my mom, and if I was there, he wouldn't dare to come. ”

Shangguan Le listened carefully to Chen Xinran's words, and she didn't know how to comfort Chen Xinran. So she hugged Chen Xinran in her arms again, thinking that this would make Chen Xinran feel comforted.

"Lele, I'm fine, after talking, I feel much more relaxed. You really don't have to worry. ”

Hearing Chen Xinran's words, Shangguan Le let go of her.

The two did not speak again, and were silent for a full hour.

"Lele, are you asleep?" Chen Xinran asked in a low voice.

"Well, you're not asleep yet, are you still going to tell me a story?" Although Shangguan Le didn't fall asleep, he was also very sleepy, and he heard Chen Xinran asking himself in a daze, Shangguan Le replied lazily.

"Lele, if you fall in love with someone in the future, but that person doesn't love you, then you must not be with him, if you are with someone who doesn't love you, the injured person will only be yourself, especially if you are so simple, you must keep your eyes open, you know?" Chen Xinran said earnestly.

"Okay, I got it." Although Shangguan Le heard Chen Xinran's words, he didn't listen to them.

"Lele, be serious, what I say is very important." Chen Xinran sat up and shook Shangguan Le vigorously to make her sober up.

"Gladly, I really heard what you said." Shangguan Le said with a bitter face.

"Lele, you have money in your family, so you have to keep your eyes open, and you must recognize whether the other party fell in love with you because of money, and whether there is something else."

"Okay, I see, you obviously haven't been in a relationship before, but you have to pretend to know everything." Shangguan Le yawned and said.

Hearing Shangguan Le ridiculing himself, Chen Xinran said with a big face: "Maybe I won't meet someone in my life who likes me and I like it." ”

"Why? Why is our Miss Chen's vision so high? Shangguan Le lay on the bed, supporting himself with his elbows. Tell me, what kind of guy do you like? ”

Chen Xinran thought seriously for a while, "The person I like." Must be a little better, at least a strong person, otherwise he will make me angry and can't bear the beating? He has to be kind, caring, yes, and pleasing to the eye. It can't be the kind that is too ugly to affect your appetite at a glance. By the way, the most important thing is that he has to like me. Chen Xinran closed his eyes and fantasized: "If there is really someone who can like me from the bottom of his bones, then everything is not important." ”

"Xinran, then I'm afraid you can only be with me for the rest of your life. Otherwise, the two of us can make do with it. Shangguan Le thought to himself, with your temper of fighting if you don't agree, who would like to die like you from the bottom of his bones? But she didn't dare to say this to Chen Xinran, otherwise Chen Xinran was not in a good mood today, and she might really pull herself up and beat her.

"That's not good, I still have to find my Prince Charming, who wants to be with you for the rest of your life?" After talking for so long, Chen Xinran felt that his mood was much better.

"Lele, tell me about you, what kind of people do you like?"

Shangguan Le thought about it with great interest, imagining what kind of person he would be with many years later? However, at the thought of spending a long life with a man, Shangguan Le felt terrible, and couldn't help but be timid again, it's good to be alone, why be with another person and entangle the rest of the lives of the two people?

"I've never liked anyone else since I've grown up, and I've never been in a relationship, so if I like someone in the future, then he must also be in a relationship for the first time, otherwise it's too unfair to me. He must not be worse than you, because I am so easy to get into trouble, and if he is poor, even I will not be able to protect him. Shangguan Le shook his head thoughtfully.

"Haha, then I'm afraid it's not easy for you to find a better man than me." Chen Xinran is still very confident in his skills.

"It's true that it's not easy to find someone who can start from the beginning. If each other is not the only one that cannot be replaced, then I would rather not. Shangguan Le pretended to sigh again, "Could it be that I, a beautiful woman, can only be accompanied by those cold musical instruments for the rest of my life?" ”
