After dinner, Xu Jianzhong came to the balcony with his hands behind his back, looked at the autumn orchids in full bloom in the flower pots, and stood quietly.

"The basin in front of the palace is called the king of incense in the past, and the gentleman of the square."

"I wonder what kind of uncle he calls himself? Emperor? Still a gentleman. Yang Qichen stepped on the steps, walked to the balcony with a smile, stood in front of the autumn orchid, and gently scraped the leaves of the orchid with his fingertips.

"Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemum alone, he doesn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, he is innocent, I like Lan, but it's just a hobby to spend time in my spare time."

"Really? That's right, now this society is not as black and white as it used to be, probably only gray is the truest color in this world. A gentleman may not be a gentleman, and a villain is not a villain at all. ”

"You don't have to beat around the bush, whatever the reason, it's true that you're wrong. You shouldn't have left her alone at the engagement party. ”

"Heh-" With a sneer, Yang Qichen broke off an orchid leaf and turned to look at Xu Jianzhong.

"I mistook her? Didn't you reiterate the case from two years ago when you reopened your appeal in the United States? When I was engaged to Ran Ran, you deliberately used the case to deliberately support me, didn't you just want me to leave her behind, so that she would be completely dead to me? But Xu Jianzhong, Xu Jianzhong, you shouldn't have thought that An Ran would love me to that extent, right? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Why, are you going to pretend to be confused with me now?"

"You said that someone from two years ago raised the reaffirmation when you were engaged?"

"Uncle couldn't be clearer, isn't he?"

"Heh, hehe... Chenchen, you are so confused, that case is a human life, I took a lot of effort to clear the suspicion and let it close, why should I turn it over. ”

"You mean there's a third person? Why should I believe you? ”

"Believe it or not, but don't forget, what did you trade with me two years ago? A case changes a person, you choose someone. ”

"Deal? yes, how can you forget! My uncle even sold his daughter to me in order to clear his suspicions, and of course I will not forget. There was still a kind smile on his face, but his right hand had been clenched into a fist, and the green tendons that burst out of his arm were distinct.

Of course, he will not forget, how could he have forgotten the reason for his separation from his beloved.

"I... I'm not. I'm just for, for the sake of being good..."

Selling his daughter, what an ugly three words, it is rare that Xu Jianzhong will feel harsh. As if he had been told that he had hit the nail on his head, Xu Jianzhong suddenly looked away with some shame and denied it.

"For the sake of nature? Yes, I've almost forgotten, who did my uncle want to sell Ran Ran to? The Lin family, yes, the Lin family, you see how good, you don't have to pay anything, you can stabilize your tattered company, and then it won't be long before you become the respected father-in-law of the Lin heir, and you can get face, glory and wealth at your fingertips. It's really for her good! ”

"I, what's wrong with me, but I married into a wealthy family, isn't it also a life of glory and wealth? What's so bad! ”

"Glory and wealth, hum, have you asked Ran Ran? Does she want it? It's just selfish, and you want others to become victims of your self-satisfaction. Two years ago, if you hadn't seen someone from the Yang Mansion come over and asked me to go back to the Yang Group, if you hadn't happened to run into a case, I'm afraid you wouldn't have traded with me, right? You say, if Ran Ran knew that her father, whom she had always respected since she was a child, was such a sanctimonious person, what would she do, I am afraid that her intestines would be repentant. ”

Yang Qichen's sentences were tight, between the atmosphere and shame, Xu Jianzhong was obviously unable to restrain himself, standing in front of Qiulan, trembling all over.

"Xu Jianzhong, let's do it for myself. I don't let Ran know this, I just don't want her beautiful dreams to be shattered, I want her to live happily, even if she lives in an illusory fairy tale world forever. Since I promised you two years ago that the case would be safe, I will definitely do it, and I hope that you will play the role of your father and stop doing those things that are against human ethics. I don't think you want to spend the lower half of your body in prison at this age. ”

After speaking, Yang Qichen looked at Qiulan again, gentleman? Hmph, that's ridiculous.

Just glanced at it hurriedly, smiled disdainfully, and took a step away.

"There's one thing, you're wrong."

Behind him, a voice suddenly sounded, and Yang Qichen stopped walking.

"There is actually another reason why I originally intended to make a deal with you and give Ran Ran to you as a price. That is, I believe in you, and I believe that you can be the first choice to protect Ranran. ”

After just a slight pause, Yang Qichen did not respond, and suddenly continued to take a long step.

......

"Ranran, why are you still standing here? What's going on with your fruit bowl, why is it shaking? Could it be your fingers, but you-"

"Mommy, you can help me and bring the fruit to Dad." After speaking, Xu Anran directly stuffed the fruit bowl into his mother's arms, turned around and ran to his room.

"Eh, yes—"

"What's wrong? Aunt. Hearing the sound, Yang Qichen, who came out of the balcony, also walked over.

"Huh? Venucia, it's just in time, take the fruit to the living room and eat it, I'll go see Ran Ran. ”

"What's wrong with Ran Ran?" Looking at the fruit in his hand, Yang Qichen looked at Mother Xu with some confusion and asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, you, you can take it first."

"Oh, okay then." Nodding hesitantly, Yang Qichen walked to the living room with the fruit.

As soon as Xu's mother saw people leaving, she immediately ran anxiously to Xu Anran's room. When I opened the door, I saw Xu Anran rummaging around.

"Ranran, what are you looking for?"

“.....”

"Ran ran ?!!" Seeing that there was no response, Xu Mu raised her voice.

"Huh? Mother? I didn't expect my mother to come, and Xu Anran, who turned around, was obviously startled.

"What are you looking for?" Xu Mu followed Xu Anran's surprised look, lowered her eyes and quickly glanced at Xu Anran's right hand.

"No, it's nothing, there's a note that I can't remember where I put it."

"You tell me honestly, why do your fingers tremble, when you got engaged, you found a reason to prevaricate me, and let you go to the hospital afterwards, you said that you have to wait for Chenchen to come back, I will let you go until today, you tell me honestly, what is going on!!" Xu Anran's little finger was still trembling, and Xu's mother walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, her whole face was only serious and worried.

"Mom, I went to the United States some time ago to see Dr. Xu. He prescribed me some new medicine, saying that I am recovering well now, and changing this medicine is very helpful for my condition, and I will recover faster, but there will be some adverse reactions, but he said that these are normal, really, I don't lie to you, if you don't believe it, you can call and ask Dr. Xu. ”

"You went to the United States? When? Why go on your own, don't tell me. ”

"Venucia had a speech, so I went with him, and while Venucia was busy, I went to Dr. Xu by the way."

"You'd better not lie to me, I'll call Dr. Xu to confirm that my body can't joke."

"What I said is true, how could I lie to Mommy, and, Mommy, you must not mention the United States to Venucia, I am afraid that he will be suspicious, I don't want him to know about my illness."

"I know."

"Thank you, Mommy." Xu Anran smiled and threw herself into her mother's arms. Just for a moment, the smile dimmed.

His eyes unconsciously glanced at the head of the bed that was covered by the quilt, but he didn't have time but still exposed half of the scissors, and felt bitter in his heart.

It's only been less than a month, right? I started to go overboard again.

If it weren't for the mother who broke in in time and woke herself up, I'm afraid. She didn't dare to think... Maybe everything she tried so hard to hide would be ruined, so she and Yang Qichen... Where to go?

Xu Anran, you must persevere, be sober, don't, don't be so vulnerable. You can.

Secretly cheering himself up, Xu Anran moved his fingers, which had gradually regained his calm, and buried them in his mother's arms.

.....

The videos on the Internet have all been deleted overnight, and the clarification that came out of the inexplicable report proves that Xu Anran knows whose masterpiece it is without even thinking about it.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, the eyes of others are indeed much more comfortable to look at her, although she doesn't care much.

"Yang Qichen, let's go on a trip, shall we?"

"What?"

"Travel, it's just a short distance, three days is enough, I just have one class on Friday, just take a vacation. When the time comes, you will make it up to me, you will anyway, okay? ”

"How can you ask for leave like this and want to play, and kidnap the people's teacher." As the words fell, Yang Qichen obviously felt that the whole expression of the person in front of him was wrong.

"But ......"

"But what?" Sensing that things had taken a turn for the better, Xu Anran's eyes lit up instantly.

"There is no way for people's teachers to take sick leave." As he spoke, Yang Qichen raised his hands that were still wrapped in gauze.

"Tsk, that's really a lot of scheming."

"What did you say?!"

"Scheming~"

"You're saying I'm old?!" With a sinister smile, Yang Qichen stretched out his magic grasp to Xu Anran.

"Ah——— haha, don't scratch it, it's so itchy, it's really itchy, ah, hahaha~"

"Do you want to say I'm old? Well? Do you know it's wrong? ”

"Don't say it, don't say it, don't dare anymore, the man is 30 years old, Professor Yang is only 28, tender! Tender and tender! Right? Teacher Yang~" Xu Anran pinched Yang Qichen's cheek with both hands, as if he was very satisfied with its feel, and pinched it into various shapes.

"What do you call me?"

"Teacher~ Isn't that right?"

"I'll hear it again."

"Yang Qichen, you are perverted!!"

"Little girl, don't you really mind? A man ten years older than you, at your age, deserves better peers, doesn't he? It's ridiculous. Even myself, sometimes I don't know if it's right to tie you to me like this. The two of them who were making a fuss suddenly fell silent.

"Shhhhhhhhh

"Ten years, that's a long time! God is really unfair sometimes, let me meet a man who is ten years older than himself, he participated in my growth, he knows everything about me, and he, prematurely experienced the fireworks in the world, I have not participated in ten years of life, do you say it is not fair? ”

Yang Qichen looked at Xu Anran with a wry smile and did not answer, he regretted her youth, but she complained that he had experienced the fireworks in the world too early.

As everyone knows, in the past ten years, there is no her, and there is no brilliance.

It's just that she waited for ten years and saw each other for the first time.

Others have met for ten years as if they had met for the first time, and she and him have met for ten years.
