The ancient wooden table made of golden silk sandalwood exudes a faint scent of sandalwood, Yang Qichen's mobile phone is placed on the wooden table, ringing back and forth, but the owner of the mobile phone sits calmly on the wooden chair, looking at the books in his hand, unmoved.

The phone rang again.

Yang Qichen's mother sat on the chair next to Yang Qichen, and could see the caller's name at a glance, reminding Yang Qichen several times, seeing that he didn't mean to answer the phone, she was so anxious that she simply put down the album in her hand and took the initiative to pick up Yang Qichen's mobile phone.

"If you don't take it, I'll take it."

As she spoke, Mother Yang slid her phone to connect the phone.

Yang Qichen just raised his eyes and didn't stop him.

"Yes, yes... I'm your Aunt Yang. ”

"Aunt Yang? Is Yang Qichen not there? ”

finally got through the phone, but it was not the person who answered the phone, and Xu Anran was a little depressed.

Yang Qichen has been out of prison for 5 days, she has been contacting him since he was released from prison, and if she doesn't answer her phone, she will go to find it in person, but whether it is Yang's company or Yang Qichen's apartment, she has not seen anyone else, she has also called the old house, and said that she is not there, as if she is deliberately avoiding her, she just wants an explanation, is it so difficult?

The harder it is to see him, the more persistent he becomes.

"Venucia... He's, he's there! Mother Yang glanced at Yang Qichen and saw that his face had not changed, so she answered Xu Anran truthfully.

"Where is he?"

"Recuperate in the old house." The recuperation of the injury was added by Yang's mother herself, and she wanted to see how Xu Anran would react when she heard it.

"Can you get him to answer the phone?"

"Ahh Yes, yes, you wait. ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Anran didn't notice at all, Yang's mother was a little lost, it was before, the girl was probably chasing after her for a long time, and she couldn't wait to go to Yang Qichen's side immediately, it seems that she was really hurt too deeply by her son.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I felt, Yang's mother directly threw Yang Qichen's mobile phone into Yang Qichen's arms and strode out of the courtyard.

Yang Qichen caught the mobile phone, and the books in his hand fell to the ground.

Leaning over to pick up the book, he glanced at the phone screen, the phone was still timed, and Yang Qichen slowly put the phone to his ear.

What should have come is still coming.

"Enron, it's me."

In an instant, time seemed to stand still with Yang Qichen's opening, Xu Anran held his mobile phone and couldn't breathe for a long time.

"Sorry, I didn't answer your call now."

Yang Qichen saw that Xu Anran did not reply for a long time, and continued.

"May I see you?"

After a long time, Xu Anran's faint voice finally came from the phone. Yang Qichen's heart was suddenly shocked, and he was a little at a loss.

"Well... Okay, when my wound heals, can I call you? ”

"Okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Anran simply replied and hung up the phone.

Yang Qichen put down his phone and looked at the budding plum tree in the yard.

"Do you regret it?"

Yang Qichen's mother walked out of the side wall, looked at Yang Qichen who was stunned, and asked. She didn't leave, hiding in the corner, and Yang Qichen's every move just now fell into her eyes.

She couldn't know the flesh that fell from her body.

"The plum blossoms are about to bloom......" Yang Qichen looked at the plum tree, with a faint smile on his face, but it looked so bitter.

Mother Xu didn't speak, picked up the book that Yang Qichen put on the wooden table, there seemed to be something inside, carefully opened the book, and a photo came into view.

The girl in the photo, with clean black hair and a big smile, is feeding a British shorthair cat with dried fish.

"It's Fat Jiu, when she was in high school, I gave her, and she was very happy at the time. Yang Qichen turned his head to his mother and said softly.

"If you like her so much, why do you want to do these things?"

Mother Yang closed the book and put it back in its place. Looking at his son, fortunately he was infected, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Mother estimates that there will be no daughter-in-law to serve in this life, will you blame her son?"

"Well, anyway, I'll treat her alone as the future daughter-in-law of the Yang family."

Mother Yang smiled at Yang Qichen, shrugged her shoulders, and said with a relaxed face.

Correspondingly, Yang Qichen also pretended to smile easily.

......

On the day Yang Qichen called Xu Anran, it was raining heavily in Shaoxing City.

Yang Qichen sat in a dessert shop, ordered a strawberry mousse cake for Xu Anran, and sat in the store, watching Xu Anran holding a bright umbrella and wearing a coffee-colored coat, walking towards the dessert shop, surrounded by a beige scarf.

He looked at her, through the pedestrians on the road, watched her stop at the door of the dessert shop and closed the umbrella, shaking the rain on the umbrella, watched her put the umbrella neatly in the storage place, watched her push the door, and walked towards him step by step in her direction with her hands......

As soon as Xu Anran arrived at the edge of the seat and sat down, the waiter walked in with a hand warmer bag.

Xu Anran took off his scarf and looked at the hand warmer bag that suddenly appeared in front of him, a little surprised.

"Your store is really heartwarming, and you even provide hand warmer bags." Xu Anran smiled and took the hand warmer bag, saying with a look of surprise.

In the cold winter, it was still raining, and she came all the way from the outside, and it was really freezing for her.

"It's so cold outside, and it's raining so heavily, so Miss can use it to warm your hands." The waiter smiled and walked away.

Xu Anran looked around, but he didn't see anyone using a hand warmer, although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't keep dwelling on it.

"I ordered the strawberry, can you try it?" Yang Qichen looked at the woman in front of him who had never seen him since she came in, and deliberately pushed the cake she ordered in front of her.

"Thanks, I don't eat strawberry-flavored stuff anymore." Xu Anran looked at the cake pushed in front of him, smiled and refused, his tone polite and detached.

Yang Qichen's expression stiffened slightly, and he handed the menu to Xu Anran again.

"You can change it to the one you like."

"No, let's get down to business." Xu Anran took the menu, but put the menu aside, without looking at Yang Qichen the whole time.

“... Well, if you want to know, I can tell you. ”

"Thank you." As if he didn't expect Yang Qichen to agree so generously, Xu Anran glanced at Yang Qichen unexpectedly this time.

"Just ask."

“... Well.... Heh, there are so many questions, I don't know where to start..."Xu Anran thought for a while, and finally chuckled a little weakly.

"Then I'll tell you."

Xu Anran was stunned, looked at Yang Qichen, and nodded.

"I left you two years ago because of a deal with your father, Xu Jianzhong was on a case at that time, he thought I couldn't help him, I didn't look down on me, so I planned to marry you to the Lin family to consolidate the company, in order to stop him, I made a deal with him, he promised me, as long as I left you for two years, handle the case for him, ensure that the case goes smoothly, and when I come back, I can let you get engaged to me, so I left you. In the past two years, I have been in the United States and have never appeared in front of you, all of this makes me miserable, Xu Anran, you may not understand, but I really hate Xu Jianzhong, and I can't wait for him to recover. ”

"So you kidnapped him and bankrupted him?"

"Yes. I hate him, but it's a pity that I am still not clever enough, and I didn't kill him, so you came. Yang Qichen deliberately said with a hideous face, looking like it was really a pity.

"I'm very grateful that you once made a deal with him in order to stop my father from joining me to the Lin family, but did my behavior at that time really make you hate him so much?"

Xu Anran didn't believe it, Yang Qichen's words were not much different from what her father told her, but she still couldn't believe that Yang Qichen would really retaliate.

"Not only do I hate him, I also hate you, Xu Anran, I hate you..."

Yang Qichen took a deep breath and tried to make his expression look natural, but the legs under the table still couldn't stop trembling.

"I'm sorry." A trace of hurt flashed in Xu Anran's eyes, and finally turned into apologies.

"You don't have to apologize, after all, I didn't let you go, you should never forget the nightmare from a year ago, right? Originally, I always planned to hide it, but I didn't expect Han Li's phone to be exposed, since we have also broken up, I think I have nothing to hide, those three people are what I found, I thought you would take the initiative to give up on me! I didn't expect you to have such deep feelings for me, so deep that you thought that you were raped and worthy of me... You can sue me, but you may not succeed. Yang Qichen said, not forgetting to smile disdainfully at Xu Anran.

With that smile, Xu Anran's face turned pale in an instant, but Xu Anran still kept staring at him, hoping to see a flaw in his perfectly concealed expression.

"I... I have one more question. ”

"You ask."

"Do you still love me?"

Xu Anran put down the hand warmer and put his hand under the table, trying to hide his trembling fingers.

Yang Qichen carefully looked at the person in front of him, his forehead was obviously sweating, but he was still dying.

She was asking him, do you still love her?

Love, love, love so much that I can't help myself, love so much that as long as I hear her name, my heart hurts, and I want to cry.

"I don't love it." Two words, decisive and decisive.

What simple two words.

What a difficult two words.

Xu Anran's hands slipped.

"I see."

"Maybe it's over two years ago. I met Lin Zhenrong, I met Tang Youmi, An Ran, they...."

"Enough—" This voice was shouted by Xu Anran, and the endurance had reached the limit.

"Enough, really enough, Yang Qichen, my question is finished, you can go..."

"Goodbye, then."

Yang Qichen touched his numb thighs, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute—"

was about to take a step, but Xu Anran stopped him.

"Any questions?"

"Your story today is very well written and well acted. Despite all the loopholes, I believed it, including when you said... Don't love me. ”

It was raining even harder outside, and in the dessert shop, the girl who hugged her was looking out the window, and no one knew what she was thinking.....

I only felt that the heavy rain in the sky came from the tears that flowed in her heart...

"Miss, do you eat chocolate? This chocolate is very sweet, and you will be happy when you eat it~"

Suddenly, the waiter brought a plate of chocolates and put it in front of Xu Anran.

Xu Anran looked at the chocolate on the plate, picked up one and put it in his mouth.

"It's so bitter..."

......

"Mr. Yang, according to your request, the hot water bottle and chocolate have been delivered."

"Thank you."
