The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else - Chapter 131
In the gorgeously decorated high-end western restaurant, a man in a suit and leather shoes sat at a table by the window chatting and laughing.
Among these people, the young and handsome Fang Xiran was the most conspicuous. Although there was a scar on his face, compared to a group of middle-aged, fat, bald, beer-bellied old men, the scar that had faded was insignificant.
Fang Xiran came to H City on a business trip. After signing the contract in the afternoon, the partner kindly invited him to eat at this western restaurant that is said to be the longest and most famous in H City.
Fang Xiran didn’t want to come, because he came to H City for another purpose.
Two days ago, he learned that Lu Shijin took a private jet to H city. Although he really wanted to come to H city to find someone right away, his dignity as a man made him unable to let go of his body to actively bow his head and ask for peace.
So, under the guise of this business trip to H City, he “dropped in” to see Lu Shijin.
Fang Xiran thought that he wanted to see Lu Shijin because he wanted to make peace.
Lu Shijin is a smart person. I believe that Lu Shijin should understand what he means when he sees him. Follow the steps he gave, stop being angry, and go back with him obediently.
Fang Xiran didn’t think about it, what if Lu Shijin refused to go back with him?
Master Fang said that it doesn’t matter, if you don’t go back with him this time, then you will never go back. He is not uncommon to marry a man who does not obey him.
Men, just can’t get used to it.
Even though Fang Xiran didn’t want to entertain, but the partner’s kindness was difficult, so he had to stay for this meal.
But he never expected to meet Lu Shijin in the western restaurant.
Lu Shijin sat at a table against the wall, two tables and two aisles separated from Fang Xiran’s.
The western restaurant at dinner time was already full of guests. Fang Xiran didn’t know if Lu Shijin had noticed him. No matter how he looked at Lu Shijin, Lu Shijin never looked sideways and carefully studied the menu in his hand.
There are so many people from the partner, and Fang Xiran is not easy to go to find someone, so he can only stare at Lu Shijin’s movement from the corner of his eye, while absent-mindedly dealing with the partner’s chat.
“Mr. Fang, our H city is close to the sea. The seafood here is famous all over the country. Next time you come over, I will take you to taste the authentic local seafood!”
Fang Xiran smiled perfunctorily: “Okay, thank you.”
“Mr. Fang, how do you feel about your steak? This restaurant is opened by a French. I have eaten all the western restaurants in H City, and this one has the most authentic taste, and the steak is made of Japanese Wagyu beef. , it’s shipped by air every day.”
Fang Xiran took a sip of red wine and nodded, “Very good, really good.”
“As long as Mr. Fang is satisfied with the food, we are afraid that the reception will be poor. By the way, does Mr. Fang have any activities in the evening? Would you like me to arrange it for you?”
“No, thank you. I want to go back to the hotel to rest at night.” Fang Xiran glanced at Lu Shijin as if he was calling someone, with a bright smile like a peach blossom.
Who to call? As for smiling so happily?
When she thought of saying goodbye to Lu Shijin without telling her, she tossed and slept through the night, but the other person’s mood didn’t seem to be affected at all, Fang Xiran felt sour and bitter as if it was soaked in freshly squeezed lemon juice.
But he soon realized that he was still too sour.
After Lu Shijin hung up the phone, not long after that, a handsome guy walked into the western restaurant and walked straight to the table where Lu Shijin was sitting.
The handsome guy is dressed in a dark blue suit, very British gentleman, with a standard inverted triangle model body, which can be called a walking human-shaped hanger.
And that face is also very enchanting, very similar to the male lead of an idol drama that has been very popular on TV recently.
Fang Xiran saw the handsome guy walk in front of Lu Shijin, first leaned over and said something to Lu Shijin, making Lu Shijin smile, then pulled out the seat opposite Lu Shijin and sat down.
Lu Shijin snapped his fingers and called the waiter. After ordering his own, he pushed the menu to the handsome guy. If the handsome guy refused, he should have asked Lu Shijin to order for him. Lu Shijin stretched out **** to signal the waiter to order the same two steak.
After the waiter left, the two chatted enthusiastically. Lu Shijin never let go of the corners of his mouth from beginning to end. Under the light of the crystal lamp above his head, his eyes were shining brightly at the man opposite him.
Fang Xiran saw that Lu Shijin was looking at other men with such eyes, and recalled that it seemed that Lu Shijin had never looked at him with such eagerly-anticipated eyes. A strong jealousy surged into his heart, and frost suddenly condensed on his face. Ugly can’t be more ugly.
No wonder I had to think about going back, it turned out that I had hooked up with Xiaobailian so quickly!
Thankfully, he came and saw it with his own eyes, otherwise, he would not have known that there was a green grassland growing on the top of his head!
The man sitting across from him saw Fang Xiran’s face suddenly sank. He thought he didn’t know what annoyed Fang Xiran, so he asked carefully, “Mr. Fang, what’s wrong? Did we do something that made you dissatisfied?”
Fang Xiran stared at Lu Shijin’s direction with burning eyes, gritted his teeth and choked out four words from his mouth: “Qi, yes, this, reason.”
The others were startled and looked at each other in dismay. They had a good chat just now, why did Fang Xiran suddenly change his face?
Everyone was at a loss as to what they did wrong and what they said wrong, which made Fang Xiran so angry.
In the end, it was the leader of the partners who spoke tremblingly, stood up and smiled and said, “Mr. Fang, if we do something wrong, just say it’s fine, and we will compensate you.”
Only then did Fang Xiran turn his attention back to the dinner table, realizing that it was his performance that misunderstood others, and forced a smile to appease everyone.
“No, it’s none of your business. I just lost my mind and thought about things, not against you.”
Others were relieved after hearing the words and regained their happy expressions. Someone asked Fang Xiran jokingly: “Mr. Fang, your expression just now scared us, as if you were going to eat people. I don’t know what happened or who told you. So angry? Can you tell us about it?”
Fang Xiran pretended to inadvertently glanced to the left, and said with a sneer: “Of course, it’s not a big deal, but I remembered about a canary that I raised for two years, and one day I forgot to feed it. Close the cage and the bird flew out the window and never came back.”
“So that’s the case. It can be seen that no matter how well domesticated these pets are, they are still unreasonable animals. Even if you feed them deliciously for two years, they will still run away when they have a chance, they are not familiar with them. “
Fang Xiran’s eyes were cold, “Who said no.”
“Is that Xiao Fang always going to keep birds? I know a bird expert who has myna parrots and even eagles in his place. a line?”
“No need,” Fang Xiran raised the glass and drank the remaining red wine in the quilt, “I just want my original bird.”
“But… didn’t you say you’ve already flown away?”
Fang Xiran twitched the corner of his mouth and mocked: “If he flies away, then catch him back. Even if he flies to the ends of the earth, I can catch him.”
Someone gave Fang Xiran an idea: “It would be best if you can catch the original one, Mr. Fang, you have to be careful next time, you must close the cage and don’t give it a chance to escape, this bird will fly out. After all, small animals are just like us, who doesn’t like freedom? It’s best to put a chain on the bird’s feet, so that even if you forget to close the cage, the bird can’t fly away!”
Fang Xiran glanced at the person who was speaking, and raised his eyebrows with admiration in his eyes, “You are right.”
The man was flattered and raised his glass to respect Fang Xiran, “Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your appreciation, haha, I’m just randomly coming up with ideas.”
Fang Xiran put down the empty wine glass and said lightly, “Okay, it’s almost the same for dinner tonight. Thanks to the hospitality, next time you come to City C, feel free to come and find me, I’ll be the host.”
The others thanked Fang Xiran politely, chatted for a while, and then stood up and left.
When Fang Xiran stood up, he deliberately lowered his head and coughed lightly, quietly raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Shijin’s table, but the people and the handsome guy were chatting hotly, and they didn’t notice his existence at all.
Mad! Exploded! mad!
Fortunately, Fang Xiran still remembered who he was, resisted the urge to lift the table, and left the western restaurant with the others.
Someone proposed to send Fang Xiran in a car, but Fang Xiran refused. Fang Xiran excused himself by saying that he wanted to take a walk and enjoy the night view of H City, so that others would not care about him.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to give up. Everyone got in the car and left, leaving Fang Xiran alone at the door of the western restaurant.
Of course he wasn’t going for a walk or going back to the hotel, he was here to wait for Lu Shijin to come out.
Because the two people inside didn’t know if they would do something that other adult men would do after eating, and he would never allow such a thing to happen!
However, it is not appropriate to just stand at the entrance of the western restaurant, what it looks like to be seen by the guests who come in and out.
Fang Xiran walked to a small alley next to the western restaurant, stood in the shadow where the lights could not shine, stared at the flow of people entering and leaving the door, and patiently waited for Lu Shijin to show up.
He stood there for half an hour, and Lu Shijin and the handsome guy who ate with him finally walked out of the western restaurant talking and laughing.
The two walked to the side of the road, and the handsome man waved to stop a taxi, it seemed that the two were going to leave together.
Are you going to the hotel? Are you going to open a room? Are you ready to fight till dawn?
Questions kept popping up in Fang Xiran’s mind, and he couldn’t hold it any longer. He strode towards the two of them, and before Lu Shijin bent over to get into the car, he stretched out his arm to stop them.
Lu Shijin expressed doubts that a hand suddenly stopped him and prevented him from getting in the car. When he looked up, he didn’t expect that the owner of the arm was Fang Xiran.
Lu Shijin: “Why are you here?”
Fang Xiran: “Where are you going?”
The two asked each other in unison, and then answered in unison.
Lu Shijin: “Where do you care about me?”
Fang Xiran: “Are you expecting me not to come? Do you continue to wave?”
Lu Shijin rolled his eyes dismissively, “Stupid.”
The handsome star-faced guy reacted and looked at Fang Xiran, who seemed to be in a state of anger, and asked Lu Shijin in confusion, “Do you know each other?”
The two answered at the same time.
Lu Shijin: “I don’t know.”
Fang Xiran: “I’m his fiance.”
Star-faced handsome guy: “…” Well, it turns out that the master is coming.
“Fiancé?” Lu Shijin sneered, “Didn’t your assistant bring you what I said? I’ve broken up with you, who is your fiancé?”
Fang Xiran looked indifferent, “You want to break the engagement, who agreed? If I don’t agree, it hasn’t been lifted yet.”
Lu Shijin: “I don’t need your consent, I have nothing to do with you anyway.”
The taxi driver got impatient, pressed down the car window and shouted, “Are you going to get in the car? Hurry up if you want to get in the car, the cars behind are waiting, don’t delay my business, okay?”
“We got in the car, let’s go right away.” Lu Shijin waved Fang Xiran’s hand away, pretending to get into the car, Fang Xiran reached out to stop him but was blocked by the handsome guy.
“This gentleman, didn’t you hear what Mr. Lu said just now?”
Fang Xiran twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at him with a sneer, “What are you doing to make me respect myself?”
The handsome guy listened to Fang Xiran’s rude words, his face darkened, and he pushed Fang Xiran directly: “Please step aside.”
Fang Xiran accurately grabbed the handsome guy’s arm and twisted it with his backhand, causing him pain to retract his hand, and then twisting his wrist in a leisurely manner, “Who are you going to do with your feet?”
Of course, the handsome guy was not convinced. He was going to pursue Lu Shijin. Of course, he was not willing to be so ridiculed by Fang Xiran in front of Lu Shijin. He became angry and raised his fist to hit Fang Xiran in the face.
Fang Xiran dodged nimbly. The two well-dressed handsome guys scuffled together on the street regardless of their appearance. Lu Shijin hurriedly went over to fight, but the two were crazy and refused to stop no matter how persuaded they were.
Although Fang Xiran was not down, he was injured on his feet. The handsome guy found out that his walking posture was a bit weird, so he seized his weakness and focused on his feet.
Fang Xiran was accidentally tripped by him, his body did not stabilize, and he fell straight backwards in Lu Shijin’s exclamation, the back of his head hit the back of his head, making a clear “bang”!
Lu Shijin hurriedly squatted down and helped Fang Xiran up and called him by his name, but Fang Xiran’s eyes were closed and he seemed to faint and lost consciousness.
The star-faced handsome guy didn’t expect that he just stumbled on Fang Xiran, and Fang Xiran fell unconscious, a little overwhelmed, “Mr. Lu, I, I…”
Lu Shijin held Fang Xiran tightly in his arms, his brows were wrinkled, his face was ugly, he didn’t even look at the handsome guy, and said calmly, “help me get him to the car.”
“Oh, good!” The handsome guy hurriedly helped Lu Shijin help Fang Xiran into the car, “Are you going to the hospital?”
Lu Shijin closed the car door and said “um”, the handsome guy asked attentively, “Do you need me to accompany you?”
Lu Shijin raised his eyes and glanced at him coldly, “No need.” Then he went around to the other side of the car, opened the door and got in the car, urging the driver to go to the nearest hospital.
The handsome guy watched the taxi go away, and rubbed his nose that was hurt by Fang Xiran just now.
The last look Lu Shijin looked at him was so cold that he had the illusion that the two would never meet again in the future.
Don’t you mean they don’t matter? Then why is he so nervous? baffling!
——
In the hospital, the doctor briefly examined Fang Xiran, who was in a coma. The back of his head was indeed swollen, but after a CT scan of the brain, no congestion was found, and he couldn’t wake up, probably because of a concussion. The reason, the doctor suggested to stay in the hospital for observation and wait until the patient wakes up.
It was already night, so the hospital could not arrange a senior ward, and could only arrange an ordinary ward for Fang Xiran to rest.
There are a total of three beds in the ward, all of which are sleeping patients.
Fang Xiran was in the innermost position. Fortunately, each hospital bed was separated by a curtain, which ensured a certain degree of privacy for the patient.
Lu Shijin sat beside Fang Xiran’s hospital bed, waiting for Fang Xiran to wake up with a blank expression.
In fact, he had already known through 711 that Fang Xiran would come to H City and would go to that western restaurant in the evening, so he appeared there on purpose and invited Xiao Xianrou to have dinner together, just to see Fang Xiran’s reaction.
If Fang Xiran is angry, it proves that he has him in his heart, so he can give Fang Xiran a chance.
But he didn’t expect Fang Xiran to be injured because of this. Fang Xiran’s brain was hit by a car accident before. What if the old injury recurred because of this fall?
He was angry with Fang Xiran, angry at him being arrogant, angry at him not believing himself, but seeing Fang Xiran lying on the hospital bed now, he couldn’t help but feel distressed.
What a sin.
“Convenience store, you said that after Fang Xiran wakes up, should I continue to fight with him, or forgive him?” Lu Shijin asked 711 in distress.
711: “Follow your inner thoughts.”
Lu Shijin sighed: “I want to give him a little punishment to make him realize his mistakes, but I didn’t want to hurt him. But if I just forgive him, I’m unwilling.”
711: “In the end, the two of you were not open and honest with each other. You didn’t tell Fang Xiran your intentions for him. It’s reasonable for Fang Xiran to be suspicious of you, and Fang Xiran didn’t tell you his purpose. It’s the most taboo in relationships. The main thing is to conceal and deceive. This is how misunderstandings often arise. You want to gain Xu Meiru’s trust by approaching Fang Zhuoer, and achieve the purpose of grasping the evidence of Xu Meiru’s murder of Fang Xiran. You can tell Fang Xiran about this kind of thing, so that he will not Don’t you misunderstand that you and Fang Zhuoer have an affair?”
Lu Shijin: “You forgot? We were in a cold war before. He said that I bought it with money, and I don’t play for nothing.”
711: “Isn’t that because you deliberately harassed him in front of his friends and made him lose face, so he said that on purpose?”
Lu Shijin went back again: “But that’s because he’s hiding from me that he wants to go **** with his friends!”
711: “To be honest, do you really believe that with Fang Xiran’s noble and glamorous personality, even if you go gay, will you mess with people?”
Lu Shijin: “…” Well, thinking about it carefully, it seems unlikely.
Why is it said by the convenience store that he seems to be making trouble for himself?
No, Lu Shijin, stay awake, you’re right, it’s all the dog man’s fault!
“Convenience store.” Lu Shijin said quietly.
711: “Why?”
Lu Shijin: “I find that you are more and more like an emotional expert.”
711 laughed: “This is for the authorities to confuse the bystanders.”
Lu Shijin: “Fuck, your ability to brainwash people first!”
After listening to the brainwashing of 711, Lu Shijin had a headache. Anyway, Fang Xiran hadn’t woken up yet, so he planned to go outside for a while.
Lu Shijin got up and left the ward, but just as he stepped out of the door of the ward on his front foot, Fang Xiran on the bed on the back foot quietly opened his eyes.
He lay down for a while, confirming that Lu Shijin would not be back so soon, and quickly turned over to find his cell phone from under the pillow.
It was a mistake, Fang Xiran didn’t expect to come this time. The development of things was completely unexpected to him. He originally thought that if he came here, Lu Shijin would make up with him, but he didn’t expect Lu Shi to have a new love this morning!
If he hadn’t just fallen on the ground in a hurry and pretended to faint, Lu Shijin would have been arguing with him, and he would have gone to the hotel to open a room with that little white face!
But he only thought of pretending to be dizzy, but he didn’t think about how to tell Lu Shijin when he woke up, so he had to keep pretending.
What if he wakes up and Lu Shijin is still clamoring to break up the engagement with him?
Fang Xiran has never had any experience in coaxing people, so at this time, he had to turn to his good buddy, the lover Zhao Ze, to ask him how to deal with this situation.
Fang Xiran sent Zhao Ze a WeChat message: [Where? Jianghu emergency! 】
Zhao Ze quickly came back: [What’s wrong, brother? 】
Fang Xiran: [I have a friend who had a conflict with his partner, and I don’t know how to solve it. I would like to ask you if you have a good solution. 】
Zhao Ze: [What’s the matter? /Pick nose]
Fang Xiran: [My friend, he made a big mistake. 】
Zhao Ze: [What big mistake? Is it cheating or raising a third child? 】
Fang Xiran: [It’s not that serious. 】
Fang Xiran told Zhao Ze about the cause and effect. Of course, he didn’t say anything about himself, but still firmly called him a friend.
After Zhao Ze listened to Fang Xiran’s voice message, he didn’t reply.
Fang Xiran couldn’t help urging him to ask: [How is it? Is there anything you can do to get that friend of mine to change his mind? 】
Zhao Ze: [Do you call this serious? Is this worse than cheating? Your friend was not beaten to death by his target, so he is dead! 】
Fang Xiran: [I asked you to help with ideas, not for you to be cynical. 】
Zhao Ze: [In this case, my suggestion is to let your friend go back to the furnace and rebuild it. If you want to die, don’t blame the crematorium for the fire. /prayer/prayer/prayer]
Fang Xiran: [………………]
Zhao Ze: [By the way, who is that friend of yours? Why didn’t I know you had such a brain-dead friend? /doubt】
Fang Xiran threw the phone away and refused to contact this friend again.
“Rebuild it…rebuild it…” Fang Xiran lay down on the bed, muttering these four words repeatedly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, that’s right! It’s just a rebuild!
There is a way!
At this time, just when he heard the sound of the door of the ward opening, Fang Xiran hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He felt that Lu Shijin had returned to his bedside. After pondering for a while, he shook his eyelashes, rolled his eyes and opened them slowly. eye.
When Lu Shijin saw him awake, he was surprised and delighted, “Are you awake? How do you feel? Do you have a headache?”
Fang Xiran blinked, stared at Lu Shijin’s face for a while, and his expression slowly began to become dazed.
Looking at his expression, Lu Shijin suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, Fang Xiran frowned and asked in confusion, “Who are you? Where is this?”
Lu Shijin: “…” Come to this set again!
