Chương 10: Resolve hatred with a kind heart
Su Ran looked at the direction where Xu Tianna drove away, his heart full of resentment and helplessness. She drove at 100 mph for 20 minutes, which means that Su Ran is at least 30 kilometers away from his residence. He couldn't help but complain secretly, why did he encounter all these strange things recently.
He picked up his slippers from the ground, tightened his clothes, and looked up at the night sky. Fortunately, the Big Dipper was still flashing. He found the brightest Yuheng star with his memory, and after determining the directions of east, south, west and north, he walked towards the blurred lights in the distance, looking like a lonely escape.
It took half an hour for Su Ran to finally see a road with vehicles. When he looked closely, his anger rose instantly, and he really wanted to teach that cruel woman a lesson. The road in front of him was the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway at the junction of Suzhou and Wuxi.
Su Ran trudged along this long road until dawn, when he was lucky enough to meet a kind passerby. The passerby drove him to the city. Su Ran was grateful, but he had no choice but to hand over the half-smoked pack of cigarettes to the driver as fare, and then hurried away.
After entering the community, Su Ran's anger burned fiercely. He was determined to have a good talk with Xu Tianna, not about life ideals, but why she treated him like this.
Back in the house, Su Ran placed the guitar on the table in the living room and walked straight to Xu Tianna's door. He raised his hand and knocked hard, venting his dissatisfaction: "Is it fun to tease me? Do you know that I have to go to work tomorrow?" He looked at the sky outside the window, which was already slightly bright, and hurriedly corrected: "No, it's today. You tormented me like this all night, how can I go to work? If the boss gets angry and fires me, will you support me?"
Su Ran talked incessantly, but there was no response from the house.
"If you want me to scold you more harshly, continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb." He knocked hard on the door again.
The house was still dead silent.
"Didn't she come back?" Su Ran was puzzled and reached out to twist the door handle, but found that the door was locked tightly.
Su Ran thought, anyway, in Xu Tianna's eyes, he might be a rogue, and it didn't matter if he broke into her room at night. He found the key to her room from a bunch of keys and then opened the door. Whether she was asleep or awake, he had to have a good argument with her.
Su Ran turned on the light and finally saw Xu Tianna lying on the bed. She was covered with a quilt, facing away from him, and still silent.
"You slept soundly, but have you ever thought about how much suffering I have suffered? The wind blew my nose all the way. A-choo!" Su Ran sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said angrily: "I tell you, I have never seen anyone do things like you since I was a child. It's too cruel and too unkind!"
Su Ran scolded until his mouth was dry, but Xu Tianna was as stable as Mount Tai, motionless.
Just when Su Ran was about to pull her out of the bed to argue face to face, Xu Tianna suddenly coughed violently.
Based on common sense, Su Ran judged that if his sneezing just now was a sign of a cold, then Xu Tianna's cough was most likely a fever, which must have been caused by the cold last night.
Su Ran was stunned for a moment, then cursed: "God has eyes! You are being punished!"
Xu Tianna coughed again, but did not respond to Su Ran. It was not known whether she was too lazy to pay attention or because she was too hot and painful to argue with him.
"Get out." After a while, Xu Tianna said in a cold tone.
"You don't need to remind me. I like to watch people die without helping. I'd rather you cough to death. You deserve it. It's retribution!" Su Ran said this, but his feet walked out of Xu Tianna's room involuntarily.
Su Ran was going to take a hot bath and then take a rest. However, intermittent coughing came from Xu Tianna's room.
He stopped walking towards the bathroom, and suddenly fell into a tangle of struggles. He thought to himself, he was the only man in this room, and she was coughing so helplessly, should he really watch and do nothing?
"Forget it. After being a 'bad guy' for so long, it's time for me to do something good and accumulate some virtue for myself." Su Ran said to himself in his heart.
He put the towel in his hand on the sofa and turned to the kitchen. After searching in the kitchen, he found a piece of ginger and a bag of old brown sugar, then lit the gas stove and began to boil ginger and brown sugar soup.
At this time, Su Ran was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. He lit a cigarette to refresh himself and stared at the brown sugar ginger soup boiling in the pot with a numb look.
A round of rising sun had already appeared in the easternmost horizon of the window. The breeze gently blew over the spider plants hanging on the balcony. The new day exuded the eternal vitality and freshness in the early morning. Su Ran couldn't help but be a little fascinated. He felt that the world at this time was particularly charming, as if it belonged only to him. Perhaps compared to the hustle and bustle of the night, he was more fond of the tranquility and beauty of this morning in his heart.
Xu Tianna's cough woke Su Ran from his absent-mindedness, and he realized that the ginger soup had been boiling in the pot for a long time. He quickly turned off the gas stove, filled a bowl of ginger soup, and walked towards Xu Tianna's room.
"I've made a bowl of ginger soup. Drink it." Su Ran said, standing beside Xu Tianna's bed.
"You don't have to pretend to be kind." Xu Tianna still didn't appreciate it.
"Who is kind to you? I'm just afraid that your coughing will affect my sleep." Su Ran muttered in dissatisfaction.
Xu Tianna responded unceremoniously: "If you move out, you won't hear it."
"If I move out, you will cough to death at home and no one will know. Stop talking nonsense, drink the ginger soup quickly!" Su Ran put down the bowl in his hand, put Xu Tianna's pillow upright, and helped her sit up a little rudely.
Su Ran reached out and touched her forehead, and it was indeed hot. He picked up the bowl on the bedside table and handed it to her again: "Drink the ginger soup first."
Xu Tianna didn't resist this time, took the ginger soup and drank it slowly. Although she still didn't speak, her expression was no longer as cold as before.
"After you finish drinking, just sleep under the quilt. Leave the bowl here. I'll come back to collect it later. You have a low fever. I'll buy you some antipyretics and cough suppressants."
Su Ran was worried that his cold would get worse, so he put on a thick coat before going out. He rarely gets sick, and his family doesn't have common medicines, so he can only go to the pharmacy to buy medicine for Xu Tianna.
Because it was still early, most pharmacies were not open for business. Su Ran worked hard and ran for several stops before finally finding a clinic that was open. After buying the medicine, he immediately took a taxi back to his residence. After all the trouble, the time was already 7:30.
Back to his residence again, Su Ran walked into Xu Tianna's room and found that she had fallen asleep. Seeing her even breathing and peaceful expression, Su Ran didn't have the heart to wake her up.
He took Xu Tianna's cell phone out of her bag, dialed his own number, and left a note on her bedside table: "Remember to take antipyretics and cough medicine after you wake up. If you have any questions, call me. I have saved the number in your phone. The 'bad guy' in your eyes, I think of myself as a good person - Su Ranliu."
Su Ran tucked her in gently and left the room quietly.
He hurriedly took a hot bath. Because of the tight time, he didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he hurriedly took the bus to the company. On the bus, Su Ran was sleepy like a tide. He tried to stay awake, but he still yawned one after another. Finally, he simply held his chin with one hand and dozed off in a posture that seemed to be thinking but actually sleeping. If you don't get close and observe carefully, others will definitely not notice that he is sleeping.
Lu Chen has been extremely busy recently because he is getting married soon. He didn't arrive at the company until almost ten o'clock. As soon as he saw Su Ran, he raised his hand and slapped her awake: "Did you go to the nightclub again last night?"
Thinking of what happened last night, Su Ran was full of anger, but he didn't want to vent his anger on Lu Chen. He yawned again and responded: "I didn't sleep well. I was tossing and turning all night."
Lu Chen misunderstood his meaning and teased: "You kid should pay attention to nourishing your kidneys. Although you are young, you can't stand your unrestrained fooling around with women like this."
"We are all educated people. Can you speak more subtly?" Su Ran said helplessly.
Lu Chen smiled and then asked Su Ran: "Did you help me with the plan for setting up a counter for GI yesterday?"
"It's done. It's in the document on drive D." Su Ran replied weakly.
Lu Chen nodded, handed over another note and said, "Su Ran, I will ask the manager for a personal leave for you later. You will accompany Lin Yue to the mall to buy all the things you want to buy according to the list on this note."
"Are you getting married or am I getting married? You want me to accompany Lin Yue to buy things?" Su Ran found it a little funny.
Lu Chen sighed and explained, "I have no choice. There are too many things to buy, and Lin Yue can't carry them alone. I have to go to Shanghai with the people from the investment department to discuss setting up a counter in our mall with GI. I can't let my personal affairs affect the investment plan that the company has been preparing for several months, right?"
"Okay." Su Ran responded, and couldn't help yawning again. He was tossed by Xu Tianna last night and walked most of the night. He didn't sleep all night, how could he not be sleepy?
Lu Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to dinner when I come back tonight."
"Go and do your own thing. I'll take a nap." Su Ran waved at Lu Chen.
"Don't nap. Lin Yue is waiting for you downstairs in the company." Lu Chen paused, lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "By the way, Lin Yue replied to the email. There is an 80% chance that she will rush back from the United States on the day I marry her."
Su Ran stared at Lu Chen with wide eyes, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly. His heart seemed to be instantly drawn into a vortex of ice and fire. After three years, is she finally coming back?
Su Ran went downstairs with mixed feelings to meet Lin Yue. Seeing his tired look, Lin Yue asked with concern: "Su Ran, why do you look so haggard? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Ran shook her head and said: "I didn't sleep well last night, I'm just a little tired."
Lin Yue didn't ask any more questions. She took out the shopping list and said: "Then let's go quickly. There are still many things to buy."
Su Ran and Lin Yue came to the mall, which was bustling with people. They looked for and bought the items on the list one by one. In the process of selecting wedding supplies, Lin Yue asked Su Ran's opinion from time to time, and Su Ran also gave his own suggestions seriously. However, his thoughts drifted back to the news that Lu Chen told him from time to time.
"Su Ran, what do you think of this wedding candy box?" Lin Yue asked, picking up an exquisite wedding candy box.
"Well, it's pretty good-looking and exquisite." Su Ran came back to his senses and answered.
Lin Yue seemed to have noticed Su Ran's thoughts. She put down the wedding candy box, looked at Su Ran and said, "Are you thinking about her coming back?"
Su Ran was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Three years have passed so fast. I don't know how to face her."
Lin Yue gently held Su Ran's hand and said, "No matter what, I will be by your side to support you."
Su Ran's heart was warmed, and he looked at Lin Yue gratefully and said, "Thank you, Lin Yue."
After shopping, Su Ran and Lin Yue walked out of the mall with large and small bags. Lin Yue said, "I'll take the things home first, and you go back and have a good rest. You look really tired."
Su Ran nodded and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."
Su Ran returned to the company and sat in his seat, but his heart was still restless. He didn't know what would happen after Lin Yue came back, nor did he know how to make a choice. At this moment, his mobile phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Xu Tianna. He was shocked and didn't know what Xu Tianna wanted to talk to him about.
"Hello, Xu Tianna, what's the matter?" Su Ran asked.
"Su Ran, where are you? I feel better and want to say thank you." Xu Tianna's voice still sounded a little weak.
"I'm at the company. I hope you feel better." Su Ran said.
"I'm really sorry for last night. I shouldn't have treated you like that." Xu Tianna apologized.
"It's okay, you're sick, take a good rest." Su Ran said.
"Well, then I'll hang up." Xu Tianna said.
After Su Ran hung up the phone, his emotions became more complicated. He didn't know how the relationship between him and Xu Tianna would develop, nor did he know where the emotional entanglement between him and Lin Yue and Lin Yue would go. He just felt as if he was trapped in a huge mystery and couldn't find a way out.
After get off work, Lu Chen really kept his promise to treat Su Ran to dinner. At the dinner table, Lu Chen saw that Su Ran was worried, so he asked, "Su Ran, are you still worried about Lin Yue's return?"
Su Ran nodded and said, "I don't know what to do. I don't want to hurt anyone."
Lu Chen took a sip of wine and said, "Sometimes, emotional matters are very complicated. You have to follow your heart."
Su Ran smiled helplessly and said, "If I knew where my heart should go, I wouldn't be so worried."
After dinner, Su Ran returned to his residence. He opened the door and saw the guitar in the living room, and remembered the scene of singing in the wilderness last night. He walked to the guitar, picked up the guitar, gently plucked the strings, and played a soothing song. He hoped that through music, he could calm his mood and find the answer in his heart.
Just when Su Ran was immersed in the music, the door suddenly opened. He looked up and saw Xu Tianna standing at the door. Her face was still a little pale, but she looked much better.
"Su Ran, I heard you playing the guitar, so I came in. I hope I didn't disturb you." Xu Tianna said.
"No, come in and sit down." Su Ran said.
Xu Tianna walked into the living room, sat on the sofa and said, "You play really well. I have never heard such beautiful music."
Su Ran smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. How are you?"
"Much better. I took medicine and had a good sleep. I feel much better." Xu Tianna said.
The two sat in the living room and talked about music, life and other topics. During the chat, Su Ran found that Xu Tianna was actually a very profound and interesting person. His view of Xu Tianna also changed unconsciously.
"Su Ran, actually I want to tell you that I treated you like that last night because I..." Xu Tianna hesitated.
"Why?" Su Ran asked.
"Because I like you." Xu Tianna said with courage.
Su Ran was shocked. He didn't expect Xu Tianna to say such a thing suddenly. He looked at Xu Tianna, not knowing how to respond.
"Xu Tianna, I..." Su Ran was about to speak when his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Lin Yue. He hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to answer the call.
"You answer it, maybe there is something important." Xu Tianna said.
Su Ran nodded, then picked up the phone. "Hello, Lin Yue, what's up?"
"Su Ran, when I was sorting things out at home, I found some old photos of us. I thought you might want to see them, can you come over?" Lin Yue said.
"I..." Su Ran looked at Xu Tianna, feeling very entangled.
"Su Ran, go ahead. If there is anything, call me." Xu Tianna said.
Su Ran looked at Xu Tianna gratefully, then said to Lin Yue: "Okay, I'll come right over."
After Su Ran hung up the phone, he said to Xu Tianna: "Then I'll go first."
"Well, be careful on the road." Xu Tianna said.
Su Ran got up and left his residence, heading for Lin Yue's house. He didn't know what was waiting for him, nor did he know how he should face Lin Yue and Xu Tianna. He just felt that his life was becoming more and more complicated and more and more unpredictable.
