Capítulo 26: Chapter 26: Ordinary Night Events and Thoughts
Su Ran and Xu Tianna walked towards Ban Die. Su Ran asked with concern: "Ban Die, why didn't you call me when you came? The temperature dropped sharply tonight. It must be so cold for you to sit there like this."
"I called, but your phone was turned off." Ban Die's answer was still very dull, without a trace of emotion.
After Ban Die's reminder, Su Ran remembered that he had thrown his phone into the moat when he was drunk, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. He secretly regretted that he didn't make much money, but he did all kinds of things that ruined the family.
Xu Tianna greeted Ban Die politely: "Uncle, hello."
"Hello to you too, you haven't eaten yet, I bought some vegetables at the supermarket and cooked for you." Ban Die said, taking out a convenient bag from behind, which contained fish and some vegetables.
"Uncle, the porridge you cooked last time was very delicious. You must be a great cook too." Xu Tianna said to Bandie with a smile she had never shown in front of Su Ran. This made Su Ran realize that he was indeed an unpopular person, not Xu Tianna's arrogant attitude.
In response to Xu Tianna's praise, Bandie just smiled and then motioned them to go upstairs.
When going upstairs, Xu Tianna walked in front, and Su Ran and Bandie fell behind. Su Ran asked Bandie with some surprise: "Bandie, have you stayed in Suzhou these days and not gone back?"
"I went to Guangzhou to attend an exhibition again, and passed by Suzhou on the way back." Bandie answered concisely.
Su Ran thought so too. It was almost winter, and it was the time when the state-owned enterprise where Bandie worked had the most heating orders. At this time of year, Bandie had to run around to purchase raw materials.
Back in the house, Bandie went straight into the kitchen and started to get busy. Xu Tianna wanted to help, but was rejected by Bandie, so she went back to her room. Su Ran sat in the living room in a daze, with bitterness in his heart. He knew that this bitterness would probably accompany him for a long time, until the day when he completely forgot about Lin Yue.
After a while, Xu Tianna came out of the room and changed into a home dress. This made her look a lot more friendly, but still beautiful, as if beauty had been integrated into her bones, and she exuded charming charm no matter how she dressed.
"Sitting like a sculpture, can't you go to the kitchen to help your dad?" Xu Tianna seemed dissatisfied with the fact that Ban Di was busy and Su Ran was doing nothing.
"You don't understand, he likes to cook alone." Su Ran explained.
"Is there such a thing?" Xu Tianna was a little curious.
"Because he regards cooking as a pleasure, others helping him is like robbing him of his pleasure."
"Oh, then the food he cooks should be delicious, right?"
"You are not a foodie, why ask so many questions." Su Ran said casually.
"Does it have to be a foodie to ask? Everyone has the right to be curious." Xu Tianna once again confronted Su Ran with dissatisfaction.
"You will know later, it doesn't matter if you wait for a while." Su Ran said perfunctorily.
Xu Tianna did not argue with Su Ran anymore, turned back to her room, and then walked to the bathroom with a laundry basket. Su Ran was a little surprised. It turned out that the goddess had to wash her own clothes.
The sound of water flow came from the bathroom, and then the washing machine began to roll. Listening to the regular rolling sound, Su Ran became more and more absent-minded, and for a moment he seemed to not feel his own existence.
Suddenly, a scream came from the bathroom, which was naturally Xu Tianna's voice. The high decibel instantly woke Su Ran from his absent-mindedness. And Ban Die had already taken a step ahead of him, rushing to the bathroom with a big spoon in his hand, and Su Ran hurriedly followed.
Although Su Ran and Ban Die had put on a big battle, as if they could kill even wolves, Xu Tianna was just confronting a cockroach lying on the bathtub at this time. The cockroach shook its antennae wantonly, while Xu Tianna was pale. This was obviously a contest of great disparity in strength. The funny thing was that the weaker party was actually a living person.
Seeing Su Ran coming, Xu Tianna instinctively stepped back and hid behind him. This scene was exactly the same as the bloody Korean drama at 9 o'clock. Su Ran also got a chance to be a hero and save the beauty, even though his opponent was just a small cockroach.
Su Ran walked to the side of the bathtub, lifted the cockroach by its tentacles and lifted it up. The cockroach struggled desperately, and Xu Tianna screamed again. Su Ran laughed in his heart. Usually Xu Tianna choked him and he was speechless, but now a cockroach hiding in a dark corner could scare her like this. It was true that one thing conquers another.
Su Ran held the cockroach and said to the father: "Add a dish. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Should I stir-fry or steam it?"
Xu Tianna felt sick.
The father seemed to be very protective of Xu Tianna, his face darkened and he said: "Stop it, throw it away quickly."
Su Ran held the cockroach and smiled disdainfully at Xu Tianna, then threw the cockroach out of the window, sighing and saying: "Alas, if it didn't die, it would have become a homeless, disabled cockroach that couldn't take care of itself. It's better to be more careful and kill it."
Xu Tianna naturally knew that Su Ran was using the cockroach to criticize her for always driving her away, but she still hadn't recovered from the cockroach incident just now, and just remained silent with a horrified expression. Su Ran suddenly had a childish and funny idea. If the rich were as afraid of cockroaches as Xu Tianna, he would carry a bag of cockroaches to blackmail and he would be able to get rich easily.
After the emergency, the father went back to the kitchen to work, but Xu Tianna didn't allow Su Ran to leave the bathroom, and asked him to accompany her to finish washing clothes, for fear that another cockroach would jump out from any corner, or a group of them, anyway, they must be the relatives of the cockroach just now.
After a while, the washing was finally finished. Xu Tianna took the clothes out of the drum, and Su Ran sat in the bathtub and looked at her.
After a moment of silence, Su Ran said to her: "I'm moving out tomorrow."
"I know." Xu Tianna replied calmly.
"You must be lonely alone, right?" Su Ran asked.
"Why should I be lonely?" Xu Tianna asked back.
Su Ran pretended to be very disappointed and said: "Yes, how can you be lonely? There are cockroaches A, B, C, and D here to accompany you. They can play hide-and-seek with you when they have nothing to do. It's very lively."
Xu Tianna was startled, and then looked at Su Ran with anger, but Su Ran said calmly: "Hurry up and hang the clothes. We will have dinner later."
At the dinner table, Su Ran, Ban Die and Xu Tianna sat on each side. The usually taciturn father took the initiative today and asked Xu Tianna: "Do you like the food, girl?"
Xu Tianna nodded and said: "Uncle's food is delicious."
Su Ran knew that this was not a compliment. The food made by the father was really great, especially the sweet and sour fish, which was a must. And Xu Tianna was also very knowledgeable and kept eating the sweet and sour fish.
After Xu Tianna praised him, the father nodded and smiled, then looked at Su Ran, as if telling him: "Son, your father can only help you so far, the rest depends on you."
Su Ran would rather he misunderstood the meaning of the father's eyes, because he and Xu Tianna could not develop in the direction of lovers. First, Xu Tianna was extremely tired of him; second, he was still deeply trapped in the shadow brought by Lin Yue and Lu Chen; third, and most importantly, he felt that he was not worthy of Xu Tianna. Just ask, who has ever seen a beautiful girl driving a luxury car fall in love with a down-and-out unreliable person?
He felt that their meeting was not a wonderful arrangement, but God wanted him to see the huge gap between people, and then let him sink in shame and pain. This God is really cruel.
In his wild thoughts, Ban Die said to Su Ran again: "Su Ran, you should fix the water pipe after dinner. There is a little water leakage at the joint. If the weather is colder, it may burst."
"I know." Su Ran responded.
Ban Die nodded, and after a while, he said to Su Ran: "Next time I come, I will bring more rice and flour from home. If you get off work early, go home to cook. Eating out is wasteful and unhygienic." After a while, he added: "You two live together, you should take care of the girl more. You can cook, so do more work at ordinary times."
According to the agreement between Su Ran and Xu Tianna, he has to move out tomorrow, but Ban Die is still using his fantasy to force Su Ran and Xu Tianna's future life together. Su Ran was somewhat helpless, but he didn't know what to say. For example, if he told Ban Die about moving out, he would probably be disappointed.
Su Ran nodded again, and then looked at Xu Tianna. Her expression didn't change at all, she was just eating very attentively.
Finally, Ban Die's attention shifted from Su Ran to Xu Tianna. He asked, "Girl, our Su Ran living with you didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"
Su Ran was afraid that Xu Tianna would reveal her "crimes", so he kicked her lightly under the table, signaling her not to talk nonsense, but Xu Tianna took the opportunity to step heavily on his toes, and he almost threw away the chopsticks in his hand.
"Uncle, he's pretty good, but he always likes to smoke in the house, and he won't change even if I tell him." Xu Tianna first praised and then criticized Ban Die to reveal Su Ran's problems.
Ban Die looked at Su Ran with a gloomy face, Su Ran pretended not to see it, but Ban Die's eyes were still sharp, staring at him relentlessly, and Xu Tianna looked like she was gloating.
"Change it, I will." Su Ran compromised helplessly, but felt that such a compromise was meaningless. After all, he was about to move out. Was it worth worrying about whether he smoked in the house?
After this episode, Ban Die seemed to be in a good mood and asked Su Ran to go to the kitchen to get the glutinous rice wine he brought last time. Su Ran poured a cup for Ban Die and asked Xu Tianna: "Do you want to drink a little?"
Xu Tianna handed the empty cup in front of her forward and said: "Drink a little."
Su Ran poured a little for Xu Tianna and a little for himself, so the three of them sat around a not-so-big table and had a family-filled dinner in this night with thousands of lights.
However, Su Ran knew in his heart that this so-called family atmosphere was only different from dining outside. Because Xu Tianna and them were not a real family, I am afraid that after he moved out, it would be difficult for them to meet in this big city. At this time, Su Ran was also thinking about what to do in the future, whether to continue to immerse himself in the pain of losing Lin Yue, or to try to start over. His heart was full of confusion and struggle. After this dinner, whether there would be any new intersections or changes between him and Xu Tianna, everything was still unknown.
