Second Hand Love Letter - Chapter 85
The cicadas outside the window continued, and the cool breeze of the air conditioner reverberated in the room, fighting against the noon sun.
The bean paste had already inhaled a whole can of canned food, and was lying on Chen Ruoyu’s bed leisurely licking her hair.
The second floor was quiet, the slender shadow was surrounded by origami roses, and the letter that was hidden in the box was taken out.
Shi Ran looked at the font on the envelope that belonged to her, and found out that Chen Ruoyu had kept the second-hand love letter that she threw to her.
She realized that she seemed to have discovered a big secret, the secret hidden in the girl’s heart under the so-called “not dealing with it”.
Shi Ran once thought that Chen Ruoyu had many, many secrets.
She has a secret with Song Yi, a secret with Shen Yan, and she has a secret even more.
She was curious, surprised, and mindful of this, but in fact she seemed to be Chen Ruoyu’s biggest secret.
After licking the hair, the beanbag got up from the bed and walked down the second floor slowly, swaying his tail and skipping Shi Ran’s sight.
She looked at the bean bag she lost and found, and thought of Icarus, who had been identified by her.
Shi Ran’s secret joy when she discovered Chen Ruoyu was like the foam on the beach when the waves hit the beach, and gradually dissipated. Instead, she realized Chen Ruoyu’s silent attention to her for seven years.
Shi Ran stood up from the ground holding the love letter in his hand, put on a skirt of Chen Ruoyu and walked out.
The origami roses were scattered on the ground as bright red as they were alive, rolling with the brushed skirt, she couldn’t wait for Chen Ruoyu to understand the “other her” she told her that day, she is going to find it now. Chen Ruoyu.
The street lights at the crossroads in the distance came on, and an empty rental car drove towards Shi Ran in the distance.
He waved, got in the car, Shi Ran gave the master the address of Chen Ruoyu’s hospital and urged the master to hurry up.
I don’t know if every taxi driver has ever had the fantasy of such an emergency. The taxi uncle said ok and drove his car to the edge of speeding.
The street scene outside the window quickly receded, the wind from the car swayed over the street trees, and the turquoise leaves swayed and made a rustling sound.
Shi Ran thought a lot in her heart, her heartbeat had never beaten so violently for a person before.
The car passed by the bridge that had a great relationship with them once again. The sparkling water on the river was flickering. During the day and different nights, the boats and ferries swimming back and forth broke the calm that the river maintained at night.
Shi Ran remembered Icarus, who would chat with him many nights during his annual leave.
She stayed with her for many nights, not because of the jet lag when she was abroad, but because the other party was Chen Ruoyu and she was Shi Ran.
She told herself on this bridge that day that she was always there.
It’s the truth, it’s the truth.
She really has always been there.
Shi Ran just watched the bridge getting closer and farther away from him, all Chen Ruoyu was surging in his mind.
From when they started hanging out again, to when they pressed pause for their love affair in the hospital, to Chen Ruoyu asking whether to try with her or not, and then their reunion at the company and at the bar …
In the end, it stopped in the high school classroom full of familiar faces.
Chen Ruoyu, who was sitting in the middle of the second row, raised her eyes when she introduced herself.
The love letter in Shi Ran’s hand was light, old and weightless, but it felt heavy to her.
She found out that she can be cherished for a long time, and she is also worthy of being loved.
They get along as equals and love as equals.
No one’s dodder.
The hospital building where Chen Ruoyu was located was gradually exposed in front of the rippling green line of sight, Shi Ran’s heartbeat could not be calmed down, and she clearly described the writing of “heartbeat” to her.
Shi Ran didn’t know when she fell in love with Chen Ruoyu, but now she can admit with absolute certainty that she likes Chen Ruoyu like never before.
The suddenly opened door broke the silence of the ward, and Chen Ruoyu was looking at the document with a hint of displeasure between her brows.
But when she looked up and found that the person standing at the door was Shi Ran, the displeasure between her brows disappeared instantly, and she asked in a calm tone, “Why did you suddenly come?”
Shi Ran squeezed the letter that was folded in her pocket and said, “I just miss you a little.”
Can’t wait to see you right away.
Chen Ruoyu recognized Shi Ran’s clothes as her own, motioned her to sit over, and asked, “Have you had a nightmare?”
The gold-rimmed glasses gave her a sense of alienation, but the sunlight gave her another layer of tenderness.
This man’s voice was soft, but his tone was extraordinarily soft, and the hand extended to Shi Ran took the privileges she only gave to Shi Ran.
Shi Ran listened and shook her head. There were countless words in her heart that she wanted to tell Chen Ruoyu, but they were all piled up in her heart, and the bustling weaving could not form a complete sentence.
After sinking for a while, she called out Chen Ruoyu’s name seriously, and said, “Chen Ruoyu, can I ask you a few questions?”
Chen Ruoyu rarely saw Shi Ran show such an expression, she nodded and said, “Okay, you can ask.”
“How on earth did you notice Doubao?” Shi Ran asked.
Chen Ruoyu could probably sense that Shi Ran should have understood something, took off her eyes, and told her honestly: “In the beginning, I often saw you feeding a cat after school, so I would also pay attention to it. it.”
“It rained heavily that day, and I came back from the cram school. I was worried about the bean paste and asked the driver to detour. The bean paste’s nest was washed away by the rain, and the little one huddled in the bushes, screaming pitifully. I didn’t wait for you, I rescued Doubao without authorization. The little guy was in a very bad state at the time, and he stayed in the hospital for a long time before he was out of danger. “
When Shi Ran listened to Chen Ruoyu’s calm narration, he couldn’t help but feel a pain in his heart.
This person talks about how the bean bag is all over, but doesn’t say a word about what she experienced in the rainy evening.
Shi Ran took the initiative to ask, “What about you? It’s raining so hard, and Doubao didn’t have any relatives at that time. How are you?”
“I’m fine.” Chen Ruoyu shook her head, as if she had never experienced anything bad.
Shi Ran didn’t. She fed bean paste for half a year. She knew better than Chen Ruoyu what kind of temper this little guy was at that time.
Seeing that Chen Ruoyu refused to answer her real situation, she simply asked Chen Ruoyu to answer, “Did Dousha swear at that time?”
Chen Ruoyu couldn’t, so she nodded.
“Did they arrest you?” Shi Ran asked again.
Still unable, Chen Ruoyu nodded again.
Shi Ran’s face immediately showed distress, she put her hand on the back of Chen Ruoyu’s hand, and then asked, “Then did your family agree to you raising it at that time?”
Chen Ruoyu shook her head and said again, “But I’m going abroad soon, so they don’t care about cats anymore.”
Chen Ruoyu spoke earnestly as always, but her voice was a bit more cunning like she had learned from Shi Ran.
Shi Ran couldn’t help but laughed and said angrily, “What kind of trick are you trying to get rid of.”
Chen Ruoyu also smiled.
It’s really not a good idea, but in the end, Doubao was successfully adopted by her, so that’s enough.
Even though the stories of the past may have a different meaning when recalled, they always carry a heavy color.
Shi Ran pursed her lips and smiled and leaned over Chen Ruoyu’s lap. She felt Chen Ruoyu’s temperature greedily through the quilt, then turned her face slightly to look at Chen Ruoyu, hooked her hand and asked: “Do you want to know who the other you are?”
“It’s me.” Chen Ruoyu replied firmly, the tablet on the side still used the cover that Shi Ran painted for Icarus.
She gently twisted her fingers together with Shi Ran, and said, “I’m sorry, I’ve been staying by your side in such a despicable way.”
Shi Ran arched his nose at Chen Ruoyu when he heard this, and said with a smile, “I feel like you are a little bit of a voyeur.”
“Follow me to feed the cat and spy on my private account. Director Chen, I really didn’t expect you to have two faces.”
Chen Ruoyu was a little guilty and quibble: “I just recognized your painting on the Internet.”
Shi Ran clasped Chen Ruoyu’s hand in dissatisfaction, and asked a little perversely, “Can’t you say that you like me? That’s why you like me.”
Chen Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, Shi Ran’s words were too straightforward, and every word of the straightforwardness was written “like”.
She simply stopped covering it up, nodded and admitted, “Yes, I like you.”
“like you very much.”
Chen Ruoyu’s own “like” sounded in Shi Ran’s ears, and she instantly felt that countless fireworks exploded in her heart, illuminating her world brightly and brilliantly.
Shi Ran’s face was filled with an uncontrollable smile, she awkwardly took out the letter from her pocket and said, “Then why do you keep things like this since you like me? Are you angry?”
But Chen Ruoyu didn’t. “Because you gave it to me. Because it’s a love letter.”
She paused for a moment, looked at Shi Ran with serious and sincere eyes, and said, “The first time I saw you was on the morning of your transfer, just a quick glance made me unforgettable, you are so small. A smile like the sun immediately caught my eye…”
Shi Ran was stunned when he heard these words.
What Chen Ruoyu said was nothing else, it was exactly what was written in the second-hand love letter in her hand.
To what extent can she memorize all the contents of the love letters she wrote to others?
Shi Ran didn’t know, only that Chen Ruoyu was looking at her at this moment, which made her ears warm.
“It rained heavily that day, you came to me from the rain curtain, and gave your umbrella to me, whose skirt was wet by the rain. From that day on, my eyes didn’t even know how to leave you. It’s as if you are the only one left in this world.”
“I know that maybe you have always regarded me as a very good friend, tolerated me, and accepted me into your circle, but I don’t just want to be your classmate and friend. It may be too direct to say this, and it may make We will never be friends again, but I am even more afraid that you will be taken away by some class, and one day I will not be able to stand upright with you.”
The second-to-last paragraph of the love letter was memorized, Chen Ruoyu paused for a moment, and her thin lips were clearly pursed by her movements.
She carefully inserted her fingers into Shi Ran’s fingers, her eyes were cold and hot, and the dark galaxy was full of stars lit up with love: “So Shi Ran, can you promise me this one? Small request, stay with me, I really, really like you.”
