Touching the cold doorknob with his fingertips, Xue Ran hesitated instinctively before pushing open the door, and saw the man with his legs crossed on the sofa.
He was wearing a slightly loose suit, and his leather shoes were polished very brightly. The person next to him was half kneeling and lighting the cigar dangling from his lips.
... Ten years later, she finally saw this person again.

Xue Ran unconsciously clenched his fists and stepped forward.

The person in front of me named Xue Shiyan, probably because of his youthful appearance, looks only 50 or [-] years old. It is not because of her poisonous-Xiao's fierce figure in her mind, but rather thin. There is no violent aura on him, and his demeanor is even With some elegance,

She didn't remember the other person's appearance at all in her memory, but as soon as she got close, the sense of familiarity filled Xue Ran's brain. She secretly rejoiced that she didn't feel very friendly when she saw the man at the moment, which meant that she obviously didn't have Stockholm syndrome.

The man's facial features are distinct and he doesn't look old, and there are still signs of loose skin when he looks closely. He heard the movement, and looked at her slightly sideways.

"Xue Ran?"

 His voice was very rough, a typical smoky voice, his tone was a little surprised, but the expression on his face was still unwavering.

"Yes." Xue Ran stood by the sofa, looking down at him.

 The man's hair is a little long, soft but shiny, leaning on the sofa, feeling lazy and depressed, he glanced at the previous man slightly, and said lightly:
 "You're back."

The tone of voice can easily make the person speaking to him feel that the relationship between the two is very close.

 Probably, people with similar magnetic fields are always particularly easy to strike up a conversation with. At this moment, facing Xue Shiyan, who subconsciously has never met, Xue Ran doesn't even feel unfamiliar at all.

 "Remember when you were a kid?"

 He sat up a little, and said in a hoarse voice:
 "As soon as I hugged you, you bit me,"

 The man raised his hand as he spoke, and half pulled down the black glove, revealing a very light sunken scar on the tiger's mouth.
 "Just like a disobedient wild cat."

 Xue Ran sneered.

 "Do you know why I left you?"

 Xue Ran snorted softly, "Could it be that I look like your daughter?"

 She looked at the undecided person in front of her, and said, "Is your daughter Xue Ran?"

 The man's facial features, which had been stiff for a long time, finally changed, and it was only the corners of his eyebrows that moved.

 "How do we look like?" Xue Ran asked.

 "You..." He paused for a long time before saying without sincerity, "You are all smart."

 After finishing speaking, Xue Shiyan put down the leg resting on the other knee, got up and stood up,

 "Sorry, I can't accompany you today."

 He checked his watch, probably there was something to deal with, then he turned and walked towards the door.

 Xue Ran knew that he obviously hadn't figured out how to deal with him. There was an elusive tenderness all over the man's body. The more friendly he was with others, the easier it was to hide the knife in his smile. He didn't seem malicious on the surface, but he didn't necessarily spare her life. .

 "Can I ask you a question?"

Probably fearing that there would be no more chances, Xue Ran suddenly called him to stop, seeing the other party stop politely, and then asked:

 "Are you doing what you are doing now for revenge?"

 He didn't seem to have the slightest desire to think about this question, turned half sideways, and said:
"forget."

Xue Ran stared at a strand of white hair on his temples, and asked:
"What's the point?"

 "Everything I do is meaningless," the man turned his head and said in a hoarse voice:
 "My meaning died 20 years ago, and I just need another reason to live."

 .
 Xue Ran walked around the corner and met Bai Zi who was waiting for her at the stairs, his eyes lit up the moment he looked up,
"Heh, you're almost unrecognizable with your outfit!"

 Xue Ran was dressed in the same uniform as the rest of the group. Except for the eye-catching white face and neck, the whole body was black, and the dark color made her eyebrows and eyes more profound, but she looked rather cold and stern when she stared at people with a blank face.

 "How is it?" Bai Zinc asked, "Did you have a good time talking with the boss?"

 "How long have I been with him before?" Xue Ran asked.

"Three years."

 "Three years? It feels like we've known each other for more than ten years." She couldn't help but sigh.

 "Maybe my existence will remind him of the past, but," Xue Ran said, "he gets a little bit of comfort from me, but the pain afterwards is a thousand times greater.
Wanting to kill me, but being unable to do so, this is probably how he felt when he saw me. "

 "Ah?" Hearing this, Bai Xin showed a strange expression, "No way, I thought... he likes you very much."

"Like is like, take me as sustenance, the form of existence may not be so single."

Xue Ran said: "Who knows if he wants me to remember him alive or dead?"

"……No way."

"Don't worry, I won't forget that you dragged me into the water, besides,"

Xue Ran snorted and glared at him, "If I die, I will never let you go!"

Bai Xin patted the other person's shoulder with a guilty smile, "Don't, I'm most afraid of ghosts, you can't..."

"Huh? What happened to your hand?"

Suddenly seeing a smear of red on his cuff, Xue Ran's eyes froze.

"Oh," Bai Zinc covered up the injury on his wrist, "It must have hit you."

Xue Ran snorted coldly, and casually raised his arm to have a look, "Such a deep wound, did you spot the one hitting the knife?"

"Hey, little injury." He withdrew his hand back in embarrassment.

"Do you have any common sense, don't you know that the wound will be infected? Are you really in a hurry to reincarnate?"

Xue Ran stared at him and said expressionlessly: "I think you should hurry to the infirmary and get bandaged."

"That's not necessary."

"Isn't it good to pretend to be a little girl and be pitiful? What can you do now, are you smart?"

"I..." Bai Xin choked up, swallowed his saliva and said, "I'll go, black history, don't mention it."

"In short, if I don't get out alive, you can't die, understand?"

Xue Ran said in a warning tone, glanced at the other party with cold eyes, and walked forward with his hands in his jacket.

Looking at the back of the predecessor, Bai Xin squeezed his wrist, couldn't help taking a breath,
It's only been a few days, and she has already separated from her past identity, and her temperament is completely different...
.
Xue Ran was absent-mindedly walking towards the elevator, and heard the voices of people passing by talking, and vaguely heard a sentence,
"It's Boss An, Boss An is back."

An Yu!

She is back too.

Xue Ran was surprised when he heard the sound of high-heeled shoes behind him, and his back tensed instantly like a conditioned reflex.

 The fragmentary memories in her mind began to piece together, and some fragments flashed before her eyes, as if she saw a woman with her back turned to her, and her cold voice sounded in her ears,

"Why do you stick to the past?"

The words were not meant for her. After saying that, the woman turned her head, squatted down slightly, pinched her face with cold fingers, and the corners of her raised lips were slightly dangerous.

"Give her to me."

Xue Ran took a sharp breath.

"Boss Ann!"

"Boss Ann!"

When she heard other people's voices, she didn't need to turn her head, she could already feel the woman's breath, as well as the faint smell of perfume lingering at the tip of her nose, which seemed to be able to penetrate into the bones of a person.

Xue Ran stopped in front of the elevator, and raised his hand to press the button. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of An Yu taking a step forward and standing beside her.
Probably just came back from out of town, the woman slowly took off her gloves, and elegantly took off the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose,
"I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Feeling the gaze from the side, Xue Ran also turned his head to look at her, looking at those eyes that were very similar to Jiang Xun, but the arcs at the end of the eyes were a little more seductive.

"Is it my illusion? I think you seem to be different," she narrowed her eyes slightly as she stared at Xue Ran,
"Did you remember something?"

She raised her hand as if she wanted to pinch Xue Ran's chin, making the latter take a step back to escape. An Yu was not annoyed, she lowered her hand and turned around unhurriedly. Just at this moment, the elevator door opened slowly, and she lifted The foot stepped in.

"Aren't you coming in?"

Seeing the other party looking at him with a smile, Xue Ran clenched his fists under his cuffs, stepped forward bravely, and stared at the closed iron door in front of him with serious eyes.

"Have you seen him?"

Xue Ran's eyebrows twitched, realizing that she was referring to Xue Shiyan,
"Ah."

"I heard that you plan to join the group?"

Without waiting for the other party to respond, the woman chuckled again and said, "But I don't believe it."

Xue Ran turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw the other party's eyes staring at her with half a smile,
"I don't believe that you will betray Jiang Xun."

Xue Ran's eyes widened suddenly, she dared to mention those two words!
"I think he must like you very much,"

The woman's tone was soft, but when she spoke, a look of joy and satisfaction flashed in her eyes,

"It's interesting to watch a person become completely different because of you, lose his principles and bottom line in order to please you, isn't it?"

Xue Ran didn't respond to the other party's gaze, turned his head and looked straight ahead expressionlessly,

"Playing with people's hearts, I'm not interested."

"Really?" The woman still smiled,

"Actually, aren't you also very excited?
Looking at such a person, so high and mighty, but trying every means to attract your attention and please you, are you fascinated by him? "

Xue Ran couldn't help but glanced at the other party, sometimes it was really hard to imagine that this person was Jiang Xun's mother.

She didn't answer, and tried her best to restrain the haste she would inadvertently show when facing women, and stepped out of the elevator at the same time as the door opened.

After walking a few steps, Xue Ran was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the iron gate behind him closing and slowly ascending.

She hurried back to the room, locked the door, sat on the sofa, and rubbed her sore temples with her hands.

Until now, the memory of the past has still not been fully recovered, she only vaguely felt that the missing part might be related to An Yu, so that she could explain the unreasonable fear in her heart when facing the other party,
Or, the encounter with Jiang Xun was just a part of the woman's plan?And she herself is just a pawn at all?

Thinking of this, Xue Ran felt angry and disgusted.

She leaned her head back against the back, closed her eyes and concentrated for a few minutes, until someone knocked on the door,
"Who is it?" Her voice was a little impatient.

"Miss Xue, it's me."

Hearing a man's voice, Xue Ran opened his eyes, got up tiredly and opened the door.

Seeing that the other party brought food and water with a plate, Xue Ran reached out to take it, and stopped him when he turned his head and said:

"By the way, what's your name?"

"I don't have a name. Miss Xue can call you whatever she wants."

The man lowered his head, unable to see other emotions in his eyes.

 Xue Ran couldn't help raising his eyes and glanced at the other party, secretly thinking that a person like him probably doesn't deserve to have an identity in the group, let alone a name.

"Then take one, I'm not good at calling it." She said casually.

 "Well...you can call me Ah Qiu," he said, "It happened to be autumn when I was born."

"it is good."

Xue Ran nodded, turned around, and waved the other party away.

She put down her things and stared at the rippling water in the glass for a long time before she picked up the chopsticks at the side and took a piece of beef from the dinner plate into her mouth.
