Second Hand Love Letter - Chapter 53
Weeping willows blocked the light of the street lamps, and no one noticed what kind of ambiguity was secretly brewing in the dim car.
Shi Ran listened to Chen Ruoyu’s words, and his unrestrained and rebellious heart was about to move, but everyone at the dinner found that they and Chen Ruoyu had not been up for a long time, so they had to come down to find them.
Shi Ran was still hesitating, but at this moment, the phone in Chen Ruoyu’s pocket rang.
The beating screen vibrated and stuck to Shi Ran’s leg, interrupting the ambiguity that had just been entangled between the two.
Chen Ruoyu let go of Shi Ran’s hand and took out her phone from her pocket.
The beating words made her frown slightly, she said “sorry” to Shi Ran, and pushed the door to the car to pick up the phone.
The scorching heat on the back of his hand slowly disappeared in the night wind that poured in when he opened the door just now.
At dusk, the traffic on the street also became bustling.
Shi Ran looked at Chen Ruoyu’s thin back outside the window, with some worry written in his eyes.
When Chen Ruoyu took out her phone just now, she glanced at it, and the word “Dad” was beating on it.
Shi Ran still remembered the appearance of Chen Yinbing he saw at Song Yi’s birthday party that day.
Although his eyebrows are a bit old-fashioned, they still give people a sense of distance that is not angry and arrogant. When talking to himself, his breath is calm, vigorous and powerful, which is particularly in line with the word “strict father”.
I don’t know what he has to do with Chen Ruoyu…
Shi Ran was thinking so, when the noise from the street came in.
Chen Ruoyu hung up Chen Yinbing’s call and returned to the car.
Her expression looked a little serious, as if mixed with some rare worries, and she said to Shi Ran with consideration: “Sorry, something happened at home, I have to go back now.”
Shi Ran listened, his heart sank, and he hurriedly asked: “Is it serious? Do you want me to help? Or should I help you call Sister Zhou Yuan down and let her accompany you back?”
“No.” Chen Ruoyu looked at Shi Ran’s nervous expression and shook her head calmly at her.
Then, as if to reassure Shi Ran, she looked at the car window on her side and said with a little regret, “It’s rare for you to treat a guest today, I don’t have this kind of good fortune yet.”
Seeing that Chen Ruoyu was still in the mood to tell him this, Shi Ran felt that the matter was not too serious.
The fox-like eyes were bent, and he said with a smile, “You Chen Ruoyu are precious, I have to invite you alone.”
“Okay, I won’t waste your time here, go back quickly, and pay attention to safety on the road.”
Shi Ran warned and got out of the car.
It’s just that before the door was closed by her, the half of her body came in again.
Shi Ran didn’t know what to do, but for the first time he felt a little worried about a person: “That… report to me that you are safe at home. If you have anything, you can call me at any time without turning off the phone.”
Chen Ruoyu looked at the phone that Shi Ran was shaking towards her in her line of sight, her chaotic heart seemed to have pressed down a boulder strong enough to withstand any storm.
She felt that there was no other agreement that would make her feel at ease except for this promise. Her gloomy pupils lit up with a faint smile, and nodded to Shi Ran: “Okay.”
Watching Chen Ruoyu’s car leave, Shi Ran turned around and went to the private room they booked today.
Seeing that Shi Ran came up so late, Xiao Ba immediately came to her side and asked mysteriously, “What the **** are you doing downstairs with the boss? Why did it take you so long to come up, where is the boss?”
“Director Chen went back to his house beforehand, let me come up and tell you.” Shi Ran explained calmly.
Zhou Yuan listened to a little nervous: “What’s going on at Ayu’s house? What’s the matter?”
Shi Ran didn’t know: “She didn’t say it, but it doesn’t look like it’s a serious matter.”
Zhou Yuan felt relieved when he heard the words, patted Shi Ran on the shoulder and said, “Okay, it’s not a big deal, just sit down, you can eat it right away.”
The choking chili smell permeated the entire box with the boiling pot, and the hot air made the whole box extra lively.
Shi Ran is the protagonist of this party, and everyone’s topic is basically all around SaRah.
“I really didn’t expect it. Our studio is really a young dragon and phoenix. Aran, you are so inauthentic, how can you carry us behind your back.”
“Da Xiong, you’re wrong, if Shi Ran didn’t reveal his identity all the time, there would be plagiarism on the orange side? If I say that today is really cool, let’s eat and drink spicy food here, follow SaRah There is talk and laughter, the original painting team on the orange side may be cleaning up the mess with bright lights!”
“Yes, yes, that painter doesn’t know whether it was outsourced or from their studio. It’s really amazing, and imitation can’t imitate the essence. When our Icarus card is exposed, it won’t be a slap. Hit the face over there.”
“Yes, yes, this is the gap between high imitation and top matching!”
“What high imitation, look at the rigidity of the color she uses, it’s not even a low-quality and low-quality match.”
“Yeah! My mother, just how she handled the lines, I don’t know if she thought she didn’t learn to draw before.”
…
Shi Ran sat on the side and listened to everyone choreographing the orange game, and the corners of his mouth never fell.
But when she heard everyone’s comments on Song Yi’s plagiarism, the corner of her mouth fell a little.
It’s just that what she did was not Song Yi, but Chen Ruoyu.
I don’t know why, the temptation of hot pot is clearly in front of me, but Shi Ran is a little absent-minded about what he eats.
Although Chen Ruoyu reassured herself when she was leaving, she also told Zhou Yuan that she should not worry.
But when what happened suddenly settled down in the laughter and laughter, Shi Ran’s anxiety surged up again.
She still remembered what Zhou Yuan said to herself in front of the convenience store bar last winter.
Since the phone call from aunt is not a big deal, do you think that the phone call from dad is usually not good news for Chen Ruoyu.
Song Yi plagiarized her own paintings, and in the afternoon, she entrusted a lawyer to send a lawyer’s letter to Orange Games and Song Yi.
Shi Ran knew that Song Yi’s biggest backer was the Chen family. She was worried that Song Yi would go to the Chen family when she was desperate for what happened today, and Chen Yinbing would use the Chen family to put pressure on Chen Ruoyu to let her clean up this mess for Song Yi.
Shi Ran’s conjecture about Chen Ruoyu’s phone call got worse the more he thought about it.
She is always like this, often many things will involuntarily think in a bad direction.
It’s just that her deductions in the past were all about herself, but this time it was for Chen Ruoyu.
Shi Ran’s thoughts were still going deeper, and the sound of “bang” was interrupted by a familiar voice.
Xiao Ba drank a little too much, put the glass with half a glass of white wine poured on it to Shi Ran’s hand, and said, “What are you thinking? You don’t answer if I ask you? Do you feel ashamed of me! You lied? After all these years, Shi Ran, you are a big badass!”
Shi Ran knew that he was really ashamed of Xiaoba in the matter of the vest, so he followed her words and admitted: “Yes, I’m a big bad guy, Lord Xiaoba, you don’t remember the villain, please forgive Xiaoba. Is it good?”
“Not good!” Xiaoba refused, pushed the wine glass in Shi Ran’s hand into her hand, and said, “One… one wine will wipe out the grievances.”
Seeing this, Xu Mengtian, who was watching, hurriedly stopped: “Little Eighth Sister, this is a half-cup of white wine.”
“I know.” Xiao Ba said and poured himself a cup, and said to Shi Ran’s cup, “So I’ll accompany you! Hehehe…”
“Okay, drink a glass, even if this incident is in the past, right?” Shi Ran was unambiguous and raised his glass.
Not to mention that half a glass of white wine is okay for her, but just because she is a little messy in her heart, she really wants this wine to drown it out.
Xiaoba nodded “yes”, and Xu Mengtian quickly took out his hand: “In order to prevent Miss Eight from going back tomorrow, I’ll record a video here as proof!”
The box in the lighted shot was brighter than in reality, and the two cups clumped together crisply amid the surrounding noise.
Shi Ran held the wine glass, raised her head and drank it down, the spicy wine slid down her throat, the irritation made her frown slightly, and then the spicy stimulus seemed to be non-existent, as she was empty The wine glasses disappeared.
However, the worries in her heart were not burnt away because of this, but intensified as if the fire had touched alcohol.
Xiao Ba drank a little fiercely, and his little face was wrinkled into a ball.
Zhou Yuan hurriedly helped her sit down and said in Shi Ran’s ear, “Don’t worry too much about Ayu, even if it’s Uncle Chen’s phone call, it’s not necessarily a bad thing.”
Shi Ran was a little surprised by Zhou Yuan’s penetrating words, and quickly denied it: “Sister Zhou Yuan, you are wrong, I don’t.”
However, Zhou Yuan smiled and helped Xiaoba to feed the juice smoothly, and then said to Shi Ran: “Some things, if you care about them, you will be messed up. Ayu is the safest person to do things, and he will never let himself be in trouble, you can rest assured. Enough.”
Although Shi Ran denied it, Zhou Yuan’s words accurately stepped on her worried mood, and helped her relieve the worry she had hidden in her heart like a spring breeze.
Shi Ran actually wanted to deny it, but Zhou Yuan didn’t give her a chance.
Xiao Ba felt nauseous after drinking too much, so Zhou Yuan helped her to go to the bathroom outside the box.
The whole box where the hot pot was steaming was a little hazy. Shi Ran just looked at Zhou Yuan’s back, and waited until the door was about to close, and then spit out a sentence from his mouth: “I really, no…”
She and Chen Ruoyu are just bed companions, so she shouldn’t put such a mentality into her.
But the relationship between the two of them seems to be ambiguous from the beginning, and even if it becomes such a relationship, there is no clear sense of boundary.
But it wasn’t long before Shi Ran wanted to understand.
Should not.
Doesn’t mean there really isn’t.
The party ended around 9:40 in the evening, because tomorrow was a rest day, and everyone in the big bear was drunk.
Just like the original painting group gathering last year, it was Shi Ran and Zhou Yuan who took these people back to their residence by taxi.
Tonight’s moon is extraordinarily round, and a bright round hangs above the night, and the dense light sprinkles on the world.
Shi Ran’s eyes were a little drunk, and he squinted slightly, feeling that a bit of moonlight fell on his hands.
“Should we wait for your car to come and go together?” Zhou Yuan asked Shi Ran while supporting Xiaoba.
But before Shi Ran could answer, the little eight who drank too much hugged Zhou Yuan’s neck and rubbed between her neck boldly and boldly: “Sister…Sister, can you accompany me home today…Sister… .”
Shi Ran looked at the usual rabbit-like person, smiled and shook his head: “No need, Sister Zhou Yuan should hurry back with Xiaoba.”
Zhou Yuan nodded and told Shi Ran: “Well, you can pay attention to safety when you go back.”
After she finished speaking, she coaxed Xiaoba with gentle pampering: “Okay, let’s get in the car, shall we?”
Xiao Ba was very satisfied and nodded heavily: “Okay!”
The neon lights dazzled the night, and the back of Xiao Ba, who was gently embraced by Zhou Yuan, was always in Shi Ran’s line of sight.
For some reason, she said that she didn’t want to fall in love in the past, but she actually yearned for Xiaoba and Zhou Yuan to be together, and she was very envious.
The night wind roamed under the dark night, blowing the broken hair hanging down from the temples.
Shi Ran clenched her hand, and the cool breeze penetrated into the palm of her empty hand, making her feel a little uncomfortable with the empty palm.
Today’s taxi driver is a talkative person, Shi Ran kept returning to him, and the man didn’t stop at all along the way.
It’s a bit noisy, but it doesn’t seem like I’m alone.
For safety reasons, Shi Ran was used to having the taxi driver stop at the intersection in front of the apartment.
The night wind was getting colder and colder, Shi Ran involuntarily wrapped the woolen sweater on her body, the rustling new leaves swayed above her head, and she was a little drunk, and she still felt a little lonely.
Why don’t you get used to being alone?
Obviously in the past a lot of times I was alone, didn’t I?
Shi Ran looked at the bright full moon behind the apartment building and felt that it was a bit lonely tonight.
Just before she could dislike the atmosphere tonight, she saw a familiar black car parked downstairs in the apartment in the lower right corner of her line of sight.
The person who took a step before the party was standing next to the Maybach that Shi Ran was too familiar with.
Chen Ruoyu changed into a soft beige knitted cardigan, and the pure cotton white skirt caressed her bare calf in the wind.
She watched Shi Ran walk towards her, pulled the handle of the suitcase beside her, with a gentle smile softened by the moonlight between her eyebrows: “Can you help me for a while?”
