The night before going to Uncle Zhong Zhicheng's house, Qin Ran picked out all the clothes and tried several sets in front of the mirror, but she was not very satisfied.

Or, her clothes are all one style, or rather, there is no style at all.

has a personality like Ling Jiaran and Xiao Lan, and can wear skirts in his own style, Qin Ran can't do it.

Her clothes are modest, in the summer she wears shirts, jeans, or slacks, or sporty pants.

No matter how informal these look, no matter how Zhong Zhicheng's uncle and aunt feel when they see it, even if they stand with Zhong Zhicheng, Qin Ran also feels that they are very incompatible.

Zhong Zhicheng's dress is very formal, and she seems to be very ordinary.

Frustrated, he returned to the bedroom, Qin Ran turned around and fell on the bed weakly.

When Zhong Zhicheng came back from the study, he saw Qin Ran's listless appearance.

"Are you too nervous?" Zhong Zhicheng asked.

Qin Ran rolled over and pleaded, "No, I'm not nervous."

The corners of Zhong Zhicheng's mouth curled, not believing what Qin Ran said, "What do you want to do so much?" They're just my aunts and uncles, not my parents, and they don't care so much. ”

"They don't care, but I do," Qin Ran looked at Zhong Zhicheng, "I just want to make myself a little better, and then get closer to you." ”

Regardless of age, experience, education, or work, the difference between Qin Ran and Zhong Zhicheng is more than a star and a half, for Qin Ran, who has been accustomed to self-reliance since childhood, such a gap makes her feel that she is not worthy of him while taking advantage of Zhong Zhicheng.

Zhong Zhicheng sat down against Qin Ran, grabbed her, and let her lean in his arms.

The person in her arms thinks a lot, but it was Qin Ran who thought like this that made Zhong Zhicheng cherish her even more.

is not only because of Qin Ran's strong distressing past, but also because she is eager to rely on herself, which triggers Zhong Zhicheng's "sense of crisis".

"You always care so much, I think you can leave me at any time if you want to," Zhong Zhicheng said his thoughts.

It seems that there is helplessness and powerlessness in the tone.

Qin Ran got out of his embrace, looked up at him, and asked with a smile, "When did you become so unconfident?" ”

"Is there one?" Zhong Zhicheng asked.

Qin Ran nodded, "Well, very much!" ”

Zhong Zhicheng rubbed Qin Ran's hair twice, and the corners of his mouth were bent.

He looked at Qin Ran with gentle eyes, "I'm not sure if I'm the person you think you are in your heart. ”

“？” Qin Ran looked at him in confusion, but it was all covered by his mysterious and melancholy smile.

Zhong Zhicheng lost his mind for a moment, but he quickly covered it up with a smile again.

---------------------

I was going to go to Zhong Zhicheng's uncle's house first, but the night before, Qin Zhenghua called first and said that Qin Ran would go home on Friday.

Qin Ran wanted to explain that she would go back on Saturday, but Zhong Zhicheng on the side signaled to her and agreed.

"Didn't you plan to go to your uncle's house first?" Qin Ran asked.

Zhong Zhicheng replied: "You are his daughter, if you don't go home on the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can't say it, and our affairs are also happy events, so it's better to tell him as soon as possible." ”

Qin Ran thought that what Zhong Zhicheng said was right, since he agreed, she didn't care.

Habitually take one last look at your phone before going to bed.

Including checking whether there are any missing messages in common contact software such as WeChat and QQ.

As soon as Qin Ran clicked on QQ, several red circle messages popped up.

Among them, the most eye-catching thing for Qin Ran was the three groups of people that the three of them built at the beginning of their internship.

Qin Ran clicked on it, thinking that Ling Jiaran would appear there, but it didn't.

Only Xiao Lan was talking to himself.

She asked everyone about their Mid-Autumn Festival plans in the group, and Qin Ran wanted to reply, but remembering that Ling Jiaran might make her angry if she saw it, Qin Ran withdrew her hand.

Instead, she poked Xiao Lan privately.

Qin Ran told Xiao Lan, Zhong Zhicheng and her about inviting everyone to dinner on Sunday.

Xiao Lan happily agreed, and said that he would give her a wedding gift.

Of course, Qin Ran refused.

However, Xiao Lan insisted, and said that he would not send very valuable things, Qin Ran thought about it and agreed.

I haven't been in contact with Xiao Lan for a long time, Qin Ran opened her dialog box and saw a dynamic reminder of her space.

It's her selfie.

Qin Ran looked at Xiao Lan who still had the same demeanor and exquisite makeup in the photo, and it seemed that the original Xiao Lan had returned.

She clicked into Qin Ran's space and found that there were a few photos of Xiao Lan without a silk scarf.

Because of the endotracheal intubation, Xiao Lan had scars on his throat, and Xiao Lan was troubled by it when he was discharged from the hospital.

However, in the group of pictures she posted now, Xiao Lan is facing the camera sideways, her eyes are arrogant, and the silk scarf around her neck is gone.

Looking carefully at the background of Xiao Lan's photo, it doesn't look like a restaurant or something.

It seems that in the lower left corner of the photo, a small half of the TV cabinet is exposed.

Qin Ran flipped through a few more photos and found that they were all in the same place, although the angle was different.

Another one was taken by Xiao Lan standing on the balcony, and it seemed that he could still see the scenery outside the window.

In the lower right corner of the photo, there appears to be a hand.

It's a man's hand.

Although only half.

Qin Ran guessed that when Xiao Lan was taking this photo, there seemed to be a person standing next to him.

Looking at the background of the photo, the golden decoration style is bold and ostentatious, and there seem to be roses carved on the walls, inconspicuous cabinet legs, and door frames.

The curtains are still bold purple pink, which is extremely ambiguous.

It's not like an apartment or a home décor, it's more like a hotel.

Originally, I just wanted to see Xiao Lan recently, but I accidentally discovered something.

Qin Ran didn't mean to pierce it, or that she was doubting the direction of her judgment.

Xiao Lan is very disciplined, as for how to explain the photo, Qin Ran is not willing to be suspicious.

After graduation, they are real "adults", and no one cares about what they do, let alone have to report to their parents before they are minors.

Qin Ran silently turned off her mobile phone, turned over and lay down.

Zhong Zhicheng turned sideways and hugged her in his arms.

Qin Ran suddenly felt that he was really lucky, Sansheng was fortunate to meet him.

If it weren't for Zhong Zhicheng, if she didn't act so impulsively, maybe she would still be in a state of confusion now.

I had a headache for all kinds of trivial things after graduating from graduate school, and at this time, Qin Ran only felt relaxed.

She seems to have no worries, and Zhong Zhicheng is her backing.

Qin Ran put her hand on Zhong Zhicheng's waist, then buried her head in his chest, and she asked cautiously, "Can I ask you a question?" ”

"Well," Zhong Zhicheng replied a little vaguely, as if he was already in a half-asleep state.

"Why did you think of marrying me in the first place?" Qin Ran asked.

This question was like a thunderbolt, waking up Zhong Zhicheng in the mist.

He instantly sobered up, exerted strength in his arm, and he hugged Qin Ran tightly.

"What? Regret promising me? ”

"No, just ask."

"Remember when I said that on the train, it wasn't the first time I saw you?"

Qin Ran nodded.

It was at the People's Hospital in Manshan County.

The first time Zhong Zhicheng saw the woman who watched her relatives leave, but did not shed tears, she was Qin Ran.

At that time, Qin Ran was standing by the old man's bedside, holding the old man's old wrinkled, cold and stiff hand tightly with both hands.

Zhong Zhicheng, who is accustomed to seeing life and death, has long predicted her outcome for a patient like Grandma Qin Ran, who has organ failure in her whole body.

However, the heart-rending wailing after the ending, crying and scolding are the norm.

Like Qin Ran, he quietly stayed by the old man's side, not saying a word, not saying a word, looking at the old man was like watching a child fall asleep.

The nurse wanted to pull out the various tubes on the old man's body, Qin Ran nodded calmly, her eyes were undisturbed, and she was unusually calm.

"At that time, I happened to come back from the investigation of the lower level hospital, and as soon as I arrived at the department, someone told me that there were 35 patients gone." Zhong Zhicheng's tone was also unfazed, and he said eloquently: "I went to the ward to take a look, and I saw you standing by the bed alone, very quiet. At that time, I was thinking, maybe your relatives will be the most peaceful when they go like this. ”

When he was born, he was warmly welcomed by all, and when he died, his loved ones looked at each other in silence.

It may be fairer for the living to turn grief into indifference.

However, Qin Ran, who was listening, shook her head, "It's not like this, in fact, I can't cry." ”

Even she herself was surprised, even though her grandmother's departure had made her so sad that she couldn't cry at all.

Qin Zhenghua's explanation is that she is too strong, Qin Ran can't find the reason, maybe Qin Zhenghua's words are right.

Qin Ran only remembered that her heart was uncomfortable to death at that time, but the tear ducts did not react in the slightest, and she couldn't feel the sourness that should have been changed.

"I haven't cried for a long time," Qin Ran said, "it seems like it's been since junior high school." ”

After listening to Qin Ran's words, Zhong Zhicheng turned over and pressed Qin Ran under him, he supported Qin Ran with one elbow on his side, straightened his upper body, and looked at the people under him through the dim light.

"If you don't cry, it means that you haven't experienced happiness yet," Zhong Zhicheng stared at Qin Ran's eyes with a gentle gaze.

Qin Ran looked at him suspiciously, but the ambiguous posture of the two made Qin Ran so ashamed that she pretended to turn her head inadvertently.

"But that's fine, put away your tears, don't shed them for others easily, except for me, of course," Zhong Zhicheng hooked his lips and whispered.

Qin Ran felt that he was "talking nonsense" again, and reached out to punishively pat him and push him down.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Zhicheng hooked Qin Ran's request, and when he turned over and lay down, he took Qin Ran up and let her lie on him.

Qin Ran didn't think that you pushed me down, I pushed you down the game is fun, struggling to get up, Zhong Zhicheng grabbed her waist and didn't let her move.

"Hey, let me go."

"Don't let go."

"You're all bored."

"It's not boring, I can't hold you tighter than this position."

-------------------------

When Zhong Zhicheng and Qin Ran arrived at the door of Qin Zhenghua's house, Qin Ran was about to raise his hand to ring the doorbell.

Zhong Zhicheng stretched out his hand to grab Qin Ran, and Qin Ran looked at him suspiciously.

"Wasn't it a mistake for me not to wear a tie today?" Zhong Zhicheng suddenly spoke.

Qin Ran didn't understand why he suddenly asked like this, but after looking at him carefully, he looked like he was almost the same.

The same shirt and trousers, well-dressed, usually in the way and pulled up to the sleeves of the forearm, now the cuffs are properly tied.

"Uh-you-can't be nervous, right?" Qin Ran asked tentatively.

"How so?" The corners of Zhong Zhicheng's mouth twitched, very disdainful.

Qin Ran couldn't help but hide her face and snicker, there was even a time when "Zhong Beauty" was calm.

The last time he examined the patient, he didn't seem to have blushed at all.

At this time, the man who didn't dare to look at Qin Ran and pretended to tilt his head to the side, wasn't he shy?

But his relatives didn't poke him.

Such a fun Zhong Zhicheng, Qin Ran is the first time to see him.
