Second Hand Love Letter - Chapter 72
The smell of disinfectant in the hallway was sobering and excessive, and the sound of the rolling wheels of a small cart clearly ran over.
After a lapse of seven years, she felt the palpitations that made her panic again.
Chen Ruoyu looked at the person who had just said this to her, and said, “Shi Ran, if it’s because of things in the gallery, I can explain it.”
Shi Ran shook his head: “It’s not just because of this.”
“Then if you bring it up, I will give you a reasonable explanation.” Chen Ruoyu said hurriedly.
All her panic was revealed in her words.
Shi Ran still shook his head, his fox-like eyes lowered, and said, “You can’t give it to me.”
Because now it’s not just about Shen Yan’s conflict, but Shi Ran himself can’t tell whether he really likes Chen Ruoyu or whether he is attached to her rights.
Just like what Xiaoba said before, Chen Ruoyu and Zhou Yuan are just like Zhou Yuan, they are really good to their lovers, they are always protective and partial, and they will not even show her exhaustion to the other party.
But it is this perfection that makes their other half uneasy.
Shi Ran pursed his lower lip lightly, and said to Chen Ruoyu the thoughts that had accumulated in his heart these days: “There are some conflicts between us, you know everything about me, but I thought I knew everything about you, but I found out that you still There are a lot of things I don’t know.”
“Even I didn’t know that your skin is the kind of sensitive skin that gets really bad without a little water.”
This is just a small point about life, but Shi Ran tells it calmly, but it seems like there are thousands of waves raging in her heart.
Shi Ran once thought that she knew more about Chen Ruoyu than Zhou Yuan and the others. After all, the two of them shared many secrets in common.
However, her understanding of Chen Ruoyu became very poor after Shen Yan’s arrival.
There was a seven-year gap between them, and they knew different people in each other’s social circles.
The reversed sequence hastily blurred Shi Ran’s emotional transition towards Chen Ruoyu, and Shen Yan was just the biggest root tumor derived from this lack of understanding.
The elevator door on the opposite side opened slowly, the people inside came out bustlingly, and the people outside filed in.
The decision to wait for her to talk about it after returning home was not implemented after all.
Shi Ran didn’t leave in a hurry, but took a shallow breath of the air mixed with the smell of disinfectant, and said frankly, “Chen Ruoyu, I just found out now that I really don’t know you very well, and I really don’t mind this kind of thing. It feels like it makes me less like me.”
For Shi Ran, love should be equality.
She will no longer be so extreme as to be accommodating like when she was with Song Yi, and she will not be attached to the favor Chen Ruoyu gave her as she did in the past two days.
She doesn’t want to be dodder.
Even if it is coerced by fate.
She needs to prove, or even rediscover, her feelings for Chen Ruoyu.
Thinking of this, Shi Ran clenched his hand on the plain silk and satin, and continued: “And there have been so many things happening here in Shi Yu recently, I’m really at a loss for what to do. You can also see how my mother looked just now. Arrived, I know you will say, she’s not a trouble, but I don’t want to hear her grinding my ears over and over again, it’s so annoying, right?”
Saying that, Shi Ran smiled reluctantly at Chen Ruoyu as if asking for opinions.
The fox’s eyes will still be curved when he smiles, but without the light, the dimness will only make people feel distressed.
Shi Ran laid the groundwork for a lot, said a lot, and gave a lot of examples.
She is not only looking for a suitable reason for Chen Ruoyu, but also making a reason for herself.
A group of passengers had just left the elevator, and only the two of them were left alone. In the quiet hospital, it was another kind of quiet.
Shi Ran clenched her hand again, her slightly open lips sucked in the cold air, as if it took a lot of effort, she finally opened her mouth again and repeated and said firmly: “So Chen Ruoyu, Let’s stop here.”
When the words fell, Shi Ran summoned a lot of courage to look at Chen Ruoyu.
There was still no expression on the man’s face, but Shi Ran read grief between her brows.
Shi Ran felt as if someone had pinched her heart with a fingernail. She was afraid that her heart would soften, so she lowered her head at a glance, and added, “I have to take care of Shi Yu in the hospital these days, so I won’t return for the time being. It’s home. The room over there should be almost renovated, so you should pack your things and go back to live. The key to the house, just put it on the cabinet at the entrance when you leave…”
Shi Ran arranged the separation of the two people sentence by sentence. Beneath the calm voice was a bluntly beating heart.
Only then did she realize that her choice at the beginning was simply an impossible thing to achieve.
Life is not a game, so there is no way to delete files without deleting them.
Some people silently merge into your world, live in your heart, and if they think about letting go and leaving, it can only be a pain in their hearts.
The sun hangs straight on the dome, and the warmth of the late spring makes people unable to open their eyes.
Chen Ruoyu just listened, and after Shi Ran’s last sentence, she finally said, “What if I say ‘no’?”
Shi Ran expected that Chen Ruoyu would ask such a question, but she still didn’t have the courage to look up at Chen Ruoyu, and only said, “As you said, I can unilaterally terminate the contract.”
“What if I unilaterally disagree, what if I unilaterally want to continue with you?” Chen Ruoyu looked at Shi Ran’s profile and asked two unanswerable questions in a row.
Then, without waiting for Shi Ran to say anything, she said to Shi Ran firmly: “I can accept the suspension of our relationship, but I absolutely do not agree to break up.”
She listened to what Shi Ran told her just now.
She can understand Shi Ran’s anxiety now, but she will never let go of Shi Ran again.
Shi Ran shook his head: “There’s no such reason, it’s unfair to you.”
However, Chen Ruoyu said, “As I said, you can be more selfish to me.”
The passers-by around were noisy, but Chen Ruoyu’s voice was particularly obvious.
Shi Ran listened, his sour heart softened as if being hugged and cared for, the tightly closed lips opened and closed, and the smell of disinfectant was even colder than before.
Shi Ran struggled to say refusal, but Chen Ruoyu was assertive. After only a few seconds, she said, “The three-second countdown is over, and you have no right to refuse again.”
It was obviously arrogant and unreasonable, but Chen Ruoyu said it very seriously.
Shi Ran looked at the childishness on this man’s face, and the corners of his mouth raised a bitter smile under the light, facing the man in front of him with a bit of helplessness, he recovered a bit of spirit and complained: “This is not an auction. , you just don’t want to break up with me.”
Chen Ruoyu nodded, “Yes.”
She watched Shi Ran finally turn to look at her eyes, and said to her with deep eyes, “I can’t bear it.”
The love words of separation always seem to be more moving than usual, and Chen Ruoyu’s voice is far gentler than when he is affectionate.
Shi Ran heard the sound of his heart shaking, and looked at Chen Ruoyu without saying a word.
There were people coming and going around, and the light gave everyone a phantom, leaving only the two people who were entangled.
Shi Ran put on the red lipstick she used on weekdays today. It was as plump and delicious as the most beautiful cherry in summer.
Chen Ruoyu looked at it, hooked Shi Ran’s hand slightly, and asked softly, “lastkiss?”
Shi Ran really smiled this time, raised his hand and hammered Chen Ruoyu’s shoulder, “How can you take advantage of your ex-girlfriend if you break up.”
“Isn’t it just for the time being?” Chen Ruoyu said.
It’s a trial.
Shi Ran knew, but did not answer, turned and walked towards the elevator.
She had no answer in her mind.
Whether she wanted Chen Ruoyu not to be harassed by her mother, or whether she wanted to be dodder, she still decided to separate.
Although it is said to be suspended, it is still unknown whether it will be suspended indefinitely.
There were a lot of people getting on the elevator, so Shi Ran walked over and was at the outermost line.
The people in front were constantly advancing, but Shi Ran seemed to have thought of something, and stopped suddenly, turned around and said to Chen Ruoyu: “Chen Ruoyu, Shen Yan is more suitable for you than me, her family background is innocent, her personality is good, and her appearance is good. …the appearance is also…”
Shi Ran said with difficulty the last sentence about the two of them looking alike, enduring the repulsion in his heart to test the person who had sworn to him just now.
However, Chen Ruoyu gave Shi Ran something she would never have thought of: “I’m not my father.”
Obscure, but straightforward.
It was something that only the two of them knew.
Thinking of this, Shi Ran thought of the word “Shen Yan” again.
Paranoid and selfish, she put Shen Yan into the ranks of not knowing about this matter, looked at Chen Ruoyu from a distance, and walked into the elevator without speaking.
Chen Ruoyu just watched Shi Ran disappear through the crack of the slowly closing door, as if this meeting was really their farewell, and her chest felt an involuntary dull colic.
She didn’t answer the question that could make her feel at ease when she left, she seemed to take her own heart with her when she left.
Nails embedded in flesh, pale palms hidden in clenched fists.
The crowded elevator scattered light on Chen Ruoyu’s face, and those dark and bright eyes in the past were completely dimmed.
Like a puppet with a lost soul.
The lights are on, and night falls.
The bizarre lights are intertwined in the bustling streets, and the neon signs flashing in the bar are eye-catching and light up in different patterns.
The red Porsche parked in the parking lot in front of the bar, like a knife cutting through the night.
Many people’s eyes followed the car to stop, looking forward to what kind of person would come out of this car.
At the same time, the door was pushed open from the inside.
Zhou Yuan rarely wore a hot black skirt with hip wraps, and the short leather jacket made her look a little awkward.
The stilettos stepped on the stone brick ground, and the force seemed to be able to break a person’s leg bone.
She was called out to drink by Chen Ruoyu.
Because I have been really troubled recently, my clothes are also ostentatious.
The weirdness outside the venue continued into the bar. The huge light ball was slowly rotating in the center of the venue. A woman in a rock and roll dress was holding a guitar and singing an English song. The slightly low smokey voice seemed to be rising from the desert. A handful of sand.
The position Chen Ruoyu sent to Zhou Yuan was the bar, and Zhou Yuan walked towards the bar under the dim light.
As soon as she arrived nearby, she saw a somewhat handsome man leaving the bar with his head drooping, with a faint embarrassment on his face.
Zhou Yuan looked a little curious, but turned his head and didn’t feel curious anymore.
Looking from the direction the man left, I could notice a woman sitting alone at the bar drinking.
The long, violet velvet dress had a fork slanted, and the slender and well-proportioned legs were not half eye-catching in the dim light.
Chen Ruoyu held a tall cocktail glass in her hands, and her down eyes wrote the danger of refusing people thousands of miles away, as well as the gloomy and loneliness that still attracts people who are not afraid of death to come and chat.
