Chapitre 32: Chapter 32: Dilemma and Help
The next morning, Su Ran left Hengdian and returned to Suzhou in the afternoon. He rushed to the company as soon as possible and reported the situation in detail to the manager Chen Jingming. In this way, the matter of shooting promotional posters for GI was successfully resolved with Le Yao's promise.
In the evening after get off work, Su Ran sat alone in the office for a long time. Since leaving the house where he had lived for more than two years, the panic of having nowhere to go has been following him like a shadow, always entangled with him.
He knew that habit was an extremely terrible force. His pain at this moment all came from habit. He was used to the love that Lin Yue had given him, and he was used to the warmth and comfort that the house brought him.
He couldn't help but feel a little confused. What happened in these years? Why did he keep losing precious things in his life, but he gained very little?
Maybe he knew the answer in his heart, but he just didn't want to admit it. He could only comfort himself in this way: Fortunately, he finally saw a glimmer of hope in his work now, and the progress of his work would surely improve his life in the future. So, he tried to clean up his mood and prepare for a brand new life.
After leaving the company, Su Ran did not look for a new place to live, but decided to stay with Robben temporarily. At least at night, two equally lonely and frustrated men can talk about music and this helpless life together.
He was wandering alone on the street, extremely bored, so he planned to go to the bar to find Robben and have a few drinks.
He left immediately, and he immediately stopped a taxi and went straight to the bar where Robben was singing.
When he arrived at the bar, what came into view was still the familiar lights and the people swaying on the dance floor. Su Ran found a relatively quiet corner and sat down.
Robben came to him with a few bottles of beer, sat down opposite him, handed him a bottle of beer, and said, "I thought you were isolated from this place, why are you here again?"
Su Ran looked around and said half-jokingly, "Come here to breathe some decadent air, I've been living a little too proud recently."
Robben touched the bottle with him lightly, and asked with a smile, "You are used to living a hard life, what's wrong with living a little proudly?"
Su Ran also smiled, raised the bottle and said, "This is the realm of life, young comrade, you still have to slowly understand it, drink."
Robben smiled and shrugged, then took a sip, and then asked, "Did you go to Hengdian to find Le Yao yesterday?"
"I kept it a secret so well, how did you know?" Su Ran asked in surprise.
"I chatted with Le Yao on WeChat today, and she said you went there." Robben explained.
"Actually, I went to Hengdian for work. GI is going to set up a counter in our department store, and they have to appoint Le Yao to take promotional posters for their products. This tough job fell on me." Su Ran said and took another sip of beer.
"No wonder Le Yao was so happy. Maybe she really thought you went to see her on purpose at first." Robben said.
"Even if you go to see her on purpose, it will take the weekend." Su Ran responded.
Robben nodded and didn't ask any more questions. The two drank another bottle of beer. After chatting for a few words, Robben got up and left because it was his turn to perform on stage.
More and more people came to the bar to have fun. Su Ran still sat in the corner, drinking one mouthful after another, and his eyes were a little absent-minded from time to time. The scene of being with Le Yao last night appeared in his mind vaguely, which made him inexplicably sad. This sadness confused him, but it was real.
On the stage, Robben and another female singer sang his own songs, and there was intermittent applause. Su Ran's attention was finally attracted, and he followed the rhythm of the music and snapped his fingers gently.
Robben is actually a very talented folk singer, but he is too determined to stick to his integrity. He is unwilling to create pop songs with a strong commercial flavor, and he disdains to participate in those popular talent shows. Therefore, he has been singing in bars in obscurity for many years, and his life is quite hard. But he doesn't seem to care about this hardship. He often says: "Playing music doesn't have to be famous, but you must have perseverance in your heart."
It's just that after years of getting along, Su Ran doesn't quite know what he is sticking to, but this doesn't affect his appreciation of Robben.
Amid the music, Su Ran's mobile phone vibrated in his pocket. He still snapped his fingers to the rhythm, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and answered it without even looking at the number.
The call was from Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan seemed to have heard the noise in the bar and said to him, "Su Ran, are you hanging out in the bar again?"
"Have a good honeymoon, don't bother your buddies." Su Ran said as he stood up from his chair and swayed gently with the rhythm of the crowd.
"Which bar are you in? I'll find you." Fang Yuan said.
"Didn't you go to Sanya with Yan Yan?" Su Ran asked in confusion.
"It's been raining heavily in Sanya these days. Let's go in a few days."
"Will your wedding leave be enough if you go in a few days?" Su Ran asked.
"It won't take more than a few days. It's enough. Don't talk nonsense, tell me which bar you are in." Fang Yuan said anxiously.
"Su He Bar, come on, I'll treat you to a drink." Su Ran said.
"Then you have to prepare more money. Yan Yan will also go, as well as Lin Yue and Lu Chen." Fang Yuan said.
Hearing the names of Lin Yue and Lu Chen, Su Ran's heart trembled suddenly. After a long pause, he cursed: "You are so stupid after getting married. Why did you bring them here?"
"Why are you so excited? The five of us haven't been together for several years. Besides, you have a girlfriend now. Just call them out to get together and forget about the messy things in the past." Fang Yuan explained.
"Who told you that I have a girlfriend?" Su Ran asked.
"Lin Yue, if you didn't have a girlfriend, I wouldn't bring Lin Yue and Lu Chen to make you unhappy. I have this sense of propriety." Fang Yuan said.
Su Ran then remembered that on the day Fang Yuan got married, he did lie to Lin Yue that Xu Tianna was his girlfriend. Unexpectedly, this lie, at this moment, was like a stone he had lifted, hitting his feet hard, leaving him no way to avoid it.
While he was in a daze, Fang Yuan said to him, "Actually, it was Lu Chen who wanted to get together with you. We are all brothers who have been together since college. Don't let those emotional things make you unhappy. Now everyone is in pairs, wouldn't it be nice to get together?"
Su Ran didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.
Fang Yuan reminded him again, "Remember to ask your girlfriend out. I heard Lin Yue say: She is so beautiful. Lin Yue thinks so, Yan Yan and I really want to broaden our horizons."
Su Ran was about to speak, but Fang Yuan had hung up the phone. Hearing the "beep" sound coming from the phone, Su Ran was stunned.
The bar was still noisy, but Su Ran was sitting on pins and needles, fidgeting. Fang Yuan had said so much, he really couldn't escape. It was all his fault that he said Xu Tianna was his girlfriend that day without thinking of the consequences, but in that situation, he was like a drowning man, in urgent need of a life-saving straw, so he could understand his original behavior. But what should I do now?
Su Ran was at a loss for a long time, and finally decided to call Xu Tianna. He thought that if she still had a little bit of loyalty, she would help.
He took out his mobile phone and found Xu Tianna's number, but he couldn't press it for a long time. He still remembered that when he moved out the day before yesterday, they had a big fight because they didn't buy insecticide powder, and then she forced him to pay back the debt. He was extremely embarrassed at the time, and after leaving the guitar, he almost fled in embarrassment. Is it too spineless to call her at this time?
"No matter, I am a scumbag in her eyes anyway, what kind of backbone can I talk about." Su Ran muttered in a low voice, then plucked up the courage and pressed the dial button.
Listening to the prompt tone of the phone dialing, Su Ran became inexplicably nervous. This nervousness was not without reason. He was worried that Xu Tianna would ridicule his spineless behavior, and even more worried that she would not be willing to help out.
After a moment, the call was connected, and Su Ran heard Xu Tianna's cold voice again: "Why are you calling me?"
"Help from the Jianghu." Su Ran said.
"Help from the Jianghu? Are you going to jump into the river or lake again?" Xu Tianna asked.
Su Ran was choked by her and was speechless for a while. After a while, he said: "It's not jumping into the river this time. Do you remember that last time at my friend's wedding, I told a woman that you are my girlfriend?"
"You still have the nerve to mention this?" Xu Tianna said.
Su Ran hurriedly followed her words and sighed: "Alas~ Isn't it this matter that caused me trouble? My friend said he wanted to see you, and he is on his way now. Come to Su He Bar and save me."
"People like you, even Jesus can't save them." Xu Tianna said mercilessly.
"Don't insult me, it's really urgent. If you don't come, I will be ashamed today." Su Ran said in an almost begging manner.
"Who cares about you?" Xu Tianna was unmoved.
"I beg you, okay?" Su Ran said anxiously.
Xu Tianna still replied indifferently: "You'll be blessed."
Su Ran was immediately angry: "Are you the reincarnation of Master Miejue? Do you have any sense of chivalry? Damn, don't let me see you in Suzhou in the future!"
The phone was suddenly hung up. Listening to the "beep" hang-up sound, Su Ran was completely dumbfounded. He didn't know how to deal with the upcoming party, nor did he know whether the relationship between him and Xu Tianna would become worse. Although he had temporarily solved the problem of Le Yao shooting posters at work, he was also unsure whether there would be other variables in the future. At this moment, he seemed to be in a fog, unable to find a direction, and could only struggle in this endless confusion and anxiety.
