☆、Rainy Night (Revised)

The sky and the earth seemed to be turned upside down in the heavy rain, a bolt of lightning tore through the dark night sky, followed by rolling thunder from the sky, and an alarm sounded in the parking lot, like the howling of a raging beast, which made people tremble with fear.

Beijing ushered in the first super convective weather this summer. Citizens have received strong storm warnings from various channels since yesterday. Everyone went home early, and no one would go out again if they had nothing to do.

In such a ghostly weather, in the middle of the night, there were no customers in the billiard hall, only one clerk dozed off at the checkout counter at the door, and the reason why the door couldn't be closed was entirely because the guests in the VIP room hadn't finished their work.

The private room was smoky, the lights were dim, and the old air conditioner made a trembling sound, like the panting of a seriously ill old man.There are three people around the pool table, a middle-aged man with a bald head, a tight black vest, wide camouflage cropped pants, and a jade Guanyin hanging around his neck. Muscles stand out with movement.He hit one hit, and a bouquet fell cleanly into the pocket.The tall boy who played with him and another young man with dense tattoos on his arms immediately applauded and complimented with a smile.

The bald man was lazily, not in a hurry to continue hitting the next ball, but turned his face with his club upright, looked at Chen Ran who was sitting upright on the sofa, and said slowly: "Little brother, listen to the bad weather. , Brothers, it’s not easy to earn some money, have you thought about it? Can you give the money today or can’t you? Give me a good word.”

Sitting next to Chen Ran was a skinny guy with colorful hair. He took a sharp puff of a cigarette in his mouth, and then wrapped his arms around Chen Ran's shoulders, almost spitting out the air against his face. Taking a puff of smoke, he said sharply, "That's right, I spent the whole night with you! Don't be shameless! Hurry up and call someone to pay back the money! If you can afford to gamble, you must afford to lose!"

Chen Ran coughed due to choking, his pale face showed no expression, his empty eyes looked past the messy hair in front of him, and he didn't know where to look.

The young man with the tattoo couldn't stand it any longer, and said to the bald man, "Stop talking nonsense with him, third brother, show him some strength!" As he spoke, he walked over and grabbed Chen Ran by the hair, turning his head back He leaned back, and punched Chen Ran's lower abdomen with his right fist. Chen Ran groaned and bent down in pain.

Qian San'er waved his hand, signaling to the younger brother not to worry, he unhurriedly coated the cue with chocolate powder, and then scored two goals steadily and accurately, until there was no bouquet on the table, and only black eight remained. He wiped his hands and walked over.He pinched Chen Ran's chin and made him look up.

Qian San'er looked at the boy in front of him curiously and perplexedly. He has been collecting debts for so many years, and he has seen some anxious and pale-faced ones, some dead-faced ones, and some pretending to be cool and serious. I have never seen someone who is indifferent to oil and salt.Moreover, this child is very good-looking, surpassing Qian San'er's self-righteous cognition. He went through the popular first-line fresh meat that his daughter liked in his mind, and found that he was better than them.

Qian San'er stared at Chen Ran from a close distance, and he could almost see blue blood vessels through his fair to almost transparent skin. His pupils were black and shiny, like bright stars shining in the dark night sky, and his facial features were exquisite. And delicate, it seems to be carefully carved, but it is not abrupt and distorted, but it is natural and makes people look very comfortable.It's just that such a face is not angry at all at the moment, its eyes are empty and scattered, and the thick black eyes seem to be silently telling some horror story.

"Little brother, judging by your appearance and temperament, you don't look like a person who doesn't behave like a normal person. It's only natural to pay off debts. Everyone should be reasonable when they come out to play. We made it very clear a few times ago. Today is The deadline, after twelve o'clock, if you still can't get the money, don't blame the brothers for being merciless. Third brother, I have seen countless people, but I have never seen someone grow up like you. My brothers and I don't mind trying something new..." He said with a fake smile, while stretching out his hand to pinch Chen Ran's white and tender face, his eyes were unscrupulous.

The three people next to him laughed wildly and cursed obscene and shameless words.

Chen Ran looked at him, seemed to hesitate for a while, and said softly after a long while: "I have no money today, wait two more days..."

Qian San'er has lost his temper. Isn't this fucking kidding me?He slapped Chen Ran casually, groped him roughly, took out a mobile phone from his jeans pocket, twisted his hand hard, pressed the mobile phone to open the fingerprint lock.

Chen Ran struggled to grab the phone, but was knocked to the ground by his younger brothers.Qian San'er opened the call log, glanced at it casually, and found that there were at least a dozen missed calls recently with the same number, but only the number without a name. Qian San'er thought it was interesting, and smacked his lips and asked: "This number is 0714 Whose number is it? Interesting, let’s try to make a call..."

Chen Ran's face was finally no longer covered with ice and snow. Seeing that Qian San'er was about to press down, he shouted, "Wait! I'll hit it myself!"

Qian San'er looked at him, and found that his beautiful face became more lively and beautiful with expressions, raised his eyebrows, and threw the phone to him.

Chen Ran picked up the phone, lay down on the ground, found another number in the address book, hesitated for a moment, and called.

"Brother Yang... I'm in some trouble, can you come here..." Chen Ran's voice was a little decadent, with the frustration of being unwilling and helpless.

After finishing the phone call, Qian San'er got someone to help him up, and went to the billiard table by himself, leaned over to aim, and accurately and ruthlessly punched Hei Ba into the pocket. The crisp sound of hitting the ball echoed in the narrow room. There was another thunder outside.

Half an hour later, a gentle-looking young man wearing retro round-frame glasses and a neat suit walked into the billiard hall, and the cashier brother took him to the private room.

The man opened the door and came in, put the umbrella aside calmly, shook off the water droplets on his head, looked around, and when he saw Chen Ran, his eyes were concerned, and he looked at him carefully before finally locking his eyes on On Qian San'er.

"How much does my brother owe you?" Sun Yang asked calmly.

"He has been playing here for more than a month, and he owes a total of 135 million including principal and interest." Qian San'er said seriously: "Little monkey, go and get all the IOUs of the account book, and show this brother over."

The colorful-haired boy responded, and came over with a notebook. Sun Yang glanced casually at his hand, and then looked at Chen Ran. Chen Ran lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Sun Yang sighed in his heart, took out his mobile phone to log in to online banking, and transferred the money in a few seconds according to the account number given by Qian San'er: "Is it all right?" Sun Yang collected the IOU without raising his eyes: " Can we go now?"

Qian San'er received the money, so naturally he didn't say anything, and thanked him with a smile, and asked his subordinates to open the door.

Sun Yang took Chen Ran's arm and led him out. Chen Ran obediently followed, but walked very slowly.From the door of the room to the stairs in the basement of the billiard hall, Chen Ran didn't seem to want to finish the short distance of more than ten meters.

"Does he know?" Chen Ran asked Sun Yang coldly.

"How could you not know? Where am I going to change so much money for you?" Sun Yang's tone could not be said to be ironic or helpless, he turned his head to look at Chen Ran's pale and soft side face: "Stop messing around, okay? Get out later To put it nicely..."

Chen Ran sneered, shook off Sun Yang's hand, and strode up the steps.

Sun Yang followed closely and opened the umbrella at the door, but Chen Ran strode directly into the rainstorm without any pause.The strong wind and the torrential rain drenched him almost instantly. His thin body was like a leaf in the wind and waves, fluttering, as if he would fall down at any time, but he was extremely persistent and walked forward.

Sun Yang's black Camry was parked by the side of the road, and there was a man standing by the car door. He was tall and slender, with a serious and handsome face. He was wearing a handmade high-end black suit, and a neat white shirt with a delicate black bow tie around the collar. He was wearing a huge black long-handled umbrella, but his leather shoes and trousers were inevitably soaked by rain.He stood motionless in the wind and rain, watching Chen Ran walking towards him silently, his gaze was like a cold and sharp blade breaking through the rain, wishing to split Chen Ran in half.

Chen Ran walked up to the man, raised his head slightly to look at him, his slender eyes were slightly raised, and there was a cold, contemptuous and indifferent light in his dark and moist eyes like night, he pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered, Such eyes and smiles mixed into a wonderful reaction on his beautiful face, which was an extremely decadent and charming attitude.

"Yo? Mr. Shen, Director Shen, Best Actor Shen? Just finished attending the awards ceremony? I'm really sorry, but I'm sorry for your trouble in the middle of the night..." Chen Ran said lightly, with a soft and pleasant voice, which instantly disappeared into the sound of the rain.

"Shut up." Shen Yixiu slowly spit out these two words in a deep and slightly hoarse magnetic voice, his eyes were full of cold anger, he changed the umbrella to his left hand, stared into Chen Ran's eyes, and said word by word: "My patience is limited, this is the last time..."

"Oh?" Chen Ran smiled casually, and looked at him provocatively: "What else? You let me go? Kill me? ——It's really what I wish for." Chen Ran admired the anger and unwillingness on Shen Yixiu's face With a complicated expression, a cold and cruel pleasure flashed across his heart. The man in front of him was always aloof, personable, elegant and calm, and invulnerable. Now this expression is really rare. Chen Ran felt that his heart in the ashes seemed to be beating again. He felt alive in the twisted, masochistic thrill of revenge.

Shen Yixiu was completely irritated by the contempt, disdain and sarcasm on his face, a spark ignited in his heart, and quickly ignited a prairie fire in all his limbs, causing his fingertips to tremble slightly.

After Chen Ran returned to him, she started this kind of self-exile depravity and revenge.

One and a half months ago, he took drugs with a group of gangsters in a nightclub. A month ago, he was detained late at night with a group of rich second-generation drag racing. Ten days ago, he got drunk and got into a fight with someone in a bar and almost got scratched. Face……

Enough is really enough, Shen Yixiu thought, he endured again and again, retreated again and again, all his patience, guilt and pity were burned away by raging anger, he stared at Chen Ran's beautiful face, wanting to see from it To even a trace of self-blame or remorse, but no, nothing.

"If you still dare to mess around like this, I'll lock you up!" Shen Yixiu almost bit down on this sentence, forcing it out word by word.

"Okay, it's not that I haven't turned it off." Chen Ran smiled ironically, and raised her hand to wipe away the drops of water that kept falling on her cheeks. "Aren't you going? It's fun to get in the rain here?"

Shen Yixiu didn't move, the hostility exuding from his body seemed to push back the storm, and the air pressure around the two of them suddenly increased, forming a secret and suffocating space.Shen Yixiu suddenly dropped the umbrella in his left hand, raised his right hand, and slapped Chen Ran hard on the cheek!

This slap seemed to pour all the anger in Shen Yixiu's body. Chen Ran was hit by a huge force, and immediately couldn't stand still, and fell into the puddle by the roadside with a bang, splashing countless white water splashes.

Sun Yang, who had been standing a few steps behind, was shocked instantly. He hurried over to support Chen Ran's head to prevent him from bumping into the curb, and gave him a distressed look.

Sun Yang looked up at Shen Yixiu again, startled and anxious, but didn't know what to say for a while: "Boss..."

At that moment, Chen Ran's mind was blank, his eyes were dark, the stars danced wildly in the darkness, the time was stretched infinitely at this moment, as if after a long, long time, all perceptions finally returned to Chen Ran's mind, he felt The left cheek was in severe pain, as if all the blood in his body rushed to the top of his head, his mouth was filled with fishy sweetness with a rusty taste, and the cold rainwater poured on his face, making him almost unable to breathe.

He opened his eyes in a little confusion, and saw Shen Yixiu standing beside him, looking down at him, his eyes were full of unquenchable flames of anger, as well as the heartbreaking heartache in his eyes.

Chen Ran suddenly laughed, at first it was a low sneer, and later it turned into a crazy and distorted laugh, he laughed until tears fell, as if he felt that he could make Shen Yixiu such a popular person like this, it was very fun and very Cool thing.This laughter is simply the most bitter and vicious irony, crushing Shen Yixiu's last rationality like the last straw, his handsome face was distorted by anger, he grabbed Chen Ran by the collar and pulled him up from the water, and raised his hand again Just when the second slap was about to fall, Sun Yang grabbed his arm, pleading in his eyes: "Forget it..." Shen Yixiu looked at him angrily, so he had no choice but to lower his voice again Added a sentence: "What if this is photographed outside?"

Chen Ran looked at them in bewilderment, his head was a little clouded, and suddenly an inexplicable thought swam through his mind like a fish.

He has been with Shen Yixiu for more than five years, and this is the first time he beat him.

☆, scars

As a personal assistant, Sun Yang has been by Shen Yixiu's side for six or seven years, and he has never seen him so irritable and lost his composure. In the chaos, his umbrella was thrown aside, and the three of them were all drenched at the moment.Sun Yang impatiently wiped the rainwater off his face, looked up vigilantly at both ends of the long street, fortunately there was no one on the street in this horrible weather.

Once the news of "Superstar Boss Shen Yixiu beats up the beautiful boy in the street in a rainstorm" is published, the entire entertainment industry will explode, and the stock price of Xingyi Entertainment will plunge, and the vice president Lin Yihui will tear him apart.

Shen Yixiu lowered his arms immediately, exhaled heavily, suppressed his anger, opened the car door, pushed Chen Ran, and said coldly, "Get in the car."

Chen Ran's face was already red and swollen, and the cold rain could not relieve the burning pain, but his expression had returned to a cold and indifferent expression, with a bit of cynical indifference.

He broke away from Shen Yixiu's hand, and got into the car without saying a word.Shen Yixiu followed him into the back seat.Sun Yang breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door of the driver's seat, and sat in heavily. At this moment, a flash of lightning pierced the sky, and then thunder exploded in the dark sky. Sun Yang shook his hand, and dropped the car key. He cursed in his heart After saying a word, he bent down to pick up the key, and finally picked it up, but when he turned on the ignition, he found that his hands were still shaking. He didn't know whether it was because he was too nervous and excited just now, or the atmosphere in the car was too oppressive and weird.

Shen Yixiu and Chen Ran looked at Sun Yang who was in a hurry at the same time, and they both hoped that the damn car would start quickly. After all, at this moment, sitting next to each other every minute was like torture.

Finally, the car started and drove slowly into the blurred sea of ​​city lights in the rain.

It's not far from Chen Ran's apartment here, but in the stormy weather, Sun Yang drove slowly and cautiously, only dared to walk on the highland main road, and even waded through huge puddles several times like this, he prayed all the way. Don't turn off the fire halfway.

Shen Yixiu looked out of the car window, the rain was hitting the glass, the city in his eyes was hazy and confused, the sea of ​​lights in the distance was fragmented, all blurred into an unreal background, leaving only the flashing light and shadows and color blocks, which gradually blurred out of his eyes.

The embarrassing silence of more than half an hour was finally broken. Shen Yixiu spoke suddenly, with a forcibly suppressed calm tone: "Do you know who owned that scene? They were all a group of desperadoes. You went to an underground casino to gamble and borrow money from usury , are you dying? I really want to play, I will take you to Macau..."

Chen Ran was leaning on the back of the chair carelessly at the moment, squinting his eyes and letting the drops of water slide down his hair and cheeks, he didn't respond when he heard this, and it took a long time before he snorted coldly, opened his eyes lazily, and opened his eyes lazily. Hanbi's Liuguang eyes squinted at Shen Yixiu, and said softly: "Anyway, my life is not worth anything..."

Shen Yixiu stared at him, his eyes sparkling, he was silent for a while, and the tiredness and helplessness in his voice could not be concealed when he spoke again: "Ran Ran, we can talk about the issues between us, but you can't hurt yourself like this. unacceptable."

Chen Ran smiled lightly, as if hearing a word to coax a child, he said sarcastically and jokingly: "Talk? What are you talking about? Can you promise me to break up peacefully and never communicate with each other? If you can, I will agree. How about you cherish yourself and live well?

Looking at his flawless profile, Shen Yixiu almost laughed angrily at such unreasonable and logical words.The decadent and gloomy boy in front of him is completely different from the bright and well-behaved boy five years ago. Was it all caused by him?He forced himself to stop thinking like this, turned his head to stare at the rearview mirror, a bitterness slipped down his throat, he swallowed hard, and said coldly: "No. - at least not now." Chen Ran's current spirit If he was just let go like this, he might not even know how he died.

Chen Ran was not surprised, as if he had heard the answer he wanted, he smiled contemptuously, and said indifferently: "That's right, I know, I can't leave because you haven't gotten tired of me." He sat up and glanced at Shen Yixiu : "It's okay, I can wait."

"You..." Shen Yixiu was at a loss for words for a while, feeling a dull pain in his heart, "It's good that you know." Finally he said in a cold voice: "Be good, everyone will have a better life, don't trouble me any more."

Sun Yang was frightened all the way, and when he finally parked the car firmly downstairs in the apartment building, he let out a long breath, raised his eyes and looked at the two people in the back seat from the rearview mirror, and his heart felt cold again. There is no intention of leaving.

"Ahem...that...boss, shall we...?" Sun Yang bite the bullet and opened his mouth, secretly looking at Shen Yixiu's face.

Shen Yixiu glanced at Chen Ran, and said to Sun Yang, "I'm staying here today, and I'll ask the driver to pick me up at 6:[-] tomorrow morning."

Sun Yang wanted to say something else, but Shen Yixiu had already opened the car door and stepped out.

Chen Ran looked at Shen Yixiu with complicated eyes, and saw him stepping up the steps quickly, turning around under the dim light at the door of the building, the expression on his face was dim, but he was obviously waiting for him.

Chen Ran was helpless, this was someone else's house, and he couldn't keep people from living in him. He gave a wry smile, thanked Sun Yang in a low voice, and then got out of the car.

The two entered the corridor in silence all the way, and went up the elevator in silence all the way, and finally entered the door. The two took off their wet clothes and changed their shoes, but they still didn't say a word.

Shen Yixiu went to take a shower, found the pajamas that he hadn't worn for more than two months in the bedroom cabinet, put them on in a mess, took a large towel from the bathroom, and went out to the living room to see that Chen Ran was sitting on a chair daze.

The light in the living room was warm and bright. Shen Yixiu looked at Chen Ran's slender back, thinking that he had lost a whole lot of weight. He walked over silently and wrapped Chen Ran's black hair with a bath towel.

Chen Ran dodged subconsciously, looking up at him with a bit of fear in his eyes, Shen Yixiu smiled bitterly, and brushed the bruises under his eyes and the swollen finger marks on his cheeks with his slender fingers: "Does it still hurt? I'm sorry...I... ..."

Chen Ran turned his gaze away: "Don't say I'm sorry, what's there to be sorry for, the cat and dog at home, if you hit it, do you still need to say sorry?"

Shen Yixiu's breath was stagnant, and he finally realized that it was impossible for them to communicate normally for the time being, so he gave up this effort, and ordered lightly: "Go take a bath."

Chen Ranshun got up, walked into the bathroom with a towel, and heard Shen Yixiu's voice: "Don't lock the door."

"..."

Standing in the bathroom, Chen Ran stared blankly at his ghostly pale and thin self in the mirror. He raised his hand to touch the scar on his face, and suddenly realized that this slap was the first time he and Shen Yixiu had been slapped in the past two months. A real "communication".

He slowly began to take a shower, not wanting to face the man outside at all, the huge shadow that he had always wanted to get rid of but was unable to resist.

When Chen Ran came out of the shower, Shen Yixiu had already gone to bed. On the dining table was a bowl of chicken porridge with mushrooms, steaming whitely. There were small soft black mushrooms, evenly sliced ​​white chicken, and thin slices of ginger. There is also a handful of green onions on the top...

Chen Ran and this bowl of chicken porridge with mushrooms and chicken, which he knew was delicious at first glance, looked at each other for a long time. Finally, he took it to the kitchen and threw it into the trash can together with the bowl and spoon.

The bedside lamp in the bedroom was on. Chen Ran walked in, lifted a corner of the quilt, and lay down gently on the big bed. Shen Yixiu was still asleep, and turned his back to him, and raised his hand to turn off the light.

The complete darkness instantly flooded everything in the room, making all the false cover-ups no longer necessary. Shen Yixiu suddenly turned around and hugged Chen Ran's body tightly. The thinness makes people feel distressed.

Shen Yixiu's voice had a deep and hoarse magnetism, he whispered in Chen Ran's ear with that voice that fascinated countless people: "Ran Ran, I miss you."

Chen Ran turned his back to him, and let him hold him still. Maybe a long time ago, this gentle and lingering love words would make Chen Ran feel excited, as sweet as eating honey, but after going through those persecution, hurt and After cheating, there was only a piece of ashes in his heart, and when he heard these words, there was only dryness and bitterness like weeds.

Shen Yixiu's warm palm reached into Chen Ran's loose pajamas, and gently stroked his collarbone and chest. Chen Ran's body froze, and then trembled.

"—Is it okay?" Shen Yixiu stopped his movements and asked in a low voice.

"Up to you." Chen Ran replied after a while.

These two words are like a bucket of ice water, immediately extinguishing all Shen Yixiu's enthusiasm and efforts. If Chen Ran struggles to resist or keeps silent, he can still be tough--it's not like he hasn't done that before anyway, but Now Chen Ran is like a dying fish, he doesn't care whether he lives or dies, and everything else doesn't matter, which makes Shen Yixiu feel like a funny clown.

He let go of Chen Ran helplessly, lay flat on his body, stared at the ceiling, and closed his eyes in pain after a long, long time.

……

The next morning, when Chen Ran woke up in a daze, Shen Yixiu had already left.He has been suffering from severe insomnia for many days in a row, he could only fall asleep when it was close to dawn, or he would wake up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep again, but last night he fell asleep miraculously, and he didn't even wake up when Shen Yixiu got up.Chen Ran thought it was ridiculous, he shook his head in self-deprecating manner, and wandered into the living room like a ghost, and saw soy milk and steamed buns on the dining table, he thought about it, and finally decided to put this breakfast in the trash can, and Last night's reunion with chicken porridge with mushrooms.

He came to the kitchen with a packed breakfast and looked down, but the trash can was empty, nothing left.

Chen Ran was in a daze when his cell phone rang twice. He went back to the table and turned on the cell phone. It was a text message from Shen Yixiu: I'm going to Shanghai for two days. Be good at home and wait for me to come back to celebrate your birthday.

Chen Ran stared at the phone for a while, her mind seemed to have finally got rid of the muddled state, and she woke up, am I going to celebrate my birthday again?

☆, birthday

One year ago, on the night of July 7th.

Chen Ran was looking at a table of sumptuous dishes at home. He asked the part-time worker, Miss Wu, to come here in the afternoon and teach him how to cook.He is not used to being served by others, and part-time workers usually come to help him do the cleaning once a week.

Eggplant with minced meat, deep-fried shrimp balls in sauce, fried okra...these are all home-cooked dishes that Shen Yixiu loves to eat, but they are not too difficult, but now they are all cold, and they are spread out in front of him like a shameless child.

Looking out of the window, Chen Ran saw that the long summer days had finally gathered the last ray of light, and the whole city sank into darkness, but soon, the colorful sea of ​​lights would embrace this busy city, making it impossible for it to have a moment of leisure.

What is Shen Yixiu busy with?Does he remember that today is his birthday?Two days earlier, I promised well that I would definitely come back before 6 o'clock, and it is almost 7 o'clock now.

Chen Ran struggled for a while, and finally picked up the mobile phone that was turned upside down on the table, and called Shen Yixiu. The line was busy, and Chen Ran listened to the mechanical and electronic female voice say several monotonous reminders, and finally pressed the button unwillingly. cut off the phone.He got up angrily, turned his phone to silent, threw it on the sofa, and turned on the TV.

The entertainment channel is reporting the news that Shen Yixiu led the main creative team to promote this year's Xingyi Entertainment's summer production "Legend of the Mermaid". On the TV, Shen Yixiu stands between the male and female protagonists and the host, smiling, personable and radiant.

The event was almost over, and now it was time for the media to ask questions. A young female reporter under the stage held a microphone, her voice trembling with excitement: "That...Mr. Shen, oh, no, I should call you Director Shen. You have already approached I have not directed any film for a year, why did you choose "Legend of the Mermaid" this time? We all know that you have been very successful at every step from actor to director, and then from director to the owner of the largest film and television company in China. Are you How do you balance these different roles? For you, which kind of work is the most meaningful?"

Shen Yixiu listened intently, smiled and encouraged her with his eyes, then gracefully took the microphone from the host, his eyes swept across the audience to ensure that he took care of everyone, and then he answered: "I think I just I can’t be free, and I don’t want to be constrained. When I was an actor, the director wanted to take care of you. I thought I should be the director. But after I became a director, I found out that the investors wanted to take care of you, so I had to do it myself. Boss, I didn't expect that after becoming a boss, I realized that not only do I have to control everything, but I also have to be controlled everywhere. Now I am not free compared to before..."

His half-truths and half-false jokes made everyone below laugh heartily. Shen Yixiu paused for a moment, no longer the cynical tone just now: "And the movie "Legend of the Mermaid" is actually about a story about finding yourself and insisting on yourself." Then to the story beyond the self, it has a very good imagination, we invested [-] million to use the top special effects to create a mermaid kingdom that only exists in dreams..."

Chen Ran's attention has shifted from Shen Yixiu's words to staring at Shen Yixiu's face. He has been looking at this face for four years, and he can still see a feeling of astonishment from time to time.Chen Ran himself is quite good-looking. His appearance is the most popular young boy style, white, tender, thin and clean, with a natural charm between his eyebrows and eyes.But he felt that if compared with Shen Yixiu, he would be as thin as a piece of white paper.The beauty of Shen Yixiu cannot be classified, it transcends the concepts of geography and time, it is a universal and classical beauty.Shen Yixiu was ten years older than him, and it was the year when this man was in full bloom. He had a prominent family background, a successful career, and a lot of money... He was the proud son of heaven in the eyes of the world, as high as the sun, shining brightly.In front of him, Chen Ran felt like a mediocre little rock, although he could also get the sunshine, but he could never really touch him—of course he didn't want to.

Chen Ran looked up at the cuckoo clock on the wall, the time was close to 8 o'clock, he thought that Shen Yixiu probably wouldn't come, stood up lonely, he had a war between heaven and man in his heart for a while, he still turned out his phone unwillingly, There are no unread messages or missed calls, just the changing time, which seems to be silently mocking him.

Chen Ran was not hungry at all, he wandered from the living room to the bedroom like a ghost, and then from the bedroom to the study, playing games, listening to songs, and coloring the unfinished figure of Optimus Prime, but nothing happened. In the end, he had no choice but to stare at the wall clock on the wall, counting the time from one second to the next with the sound of tick tock, until he felt sleepy when the phone rang suddenly.

Chen Ran was so excited that he almost knocked over the stool when he got up and flew over. He held the phone tightly in his hand, and at a glance, he saw that the name flashing on the phone screen was Sun Yang, not "Brother Yixiu".

"Hello..." Chen Ran slid his finger weakly, and answered the phone: "Sun Yang..."

"Ran Ran, today is your birthday, isn't it? Happy birthday to you! I prepared a birthday present, but I can't go today, so I will send it to you some other day." Sun Yang's background sound was very noisy, he was almost shouting talking.

"Ah, thank you..." Chen Ran grudgingly cheered up and replied, he thought Sun Yang would call him, probably not just to wish him a happy birthday.
