Jasmine
The writing of Chapter 2 has already started, it is the twists and turns of the ancient time-traveli
In the past, An Ziqi replied with very few words, and finally ended their conversation with a sudden "Good night!"
Xiao Ran wanted to ask An Ziqi what happened a few times, but when she thought that her sister was the kind of person who wouldn't tell if she didn't want to, she gave up.After thinking about it, I always felt that this matter should have something to do with the phone call An Ziqi answered in the car.
An Ziqi stayed up all night, and as soon as the morning came, she sent a message to Xiao Ran saying that she would not go for a run, so she drove to Yilan City. On the way, she made an appointment with Ran's father on the time and place to meet, and hung up the phone At the same time, a feeling of uneasiness emerged again.
The car passed through the high-rise buildings in Yilan City, the streets were full of traffic, and the criss-crossing traffic facilities constituted the blood and skeleton of the city, and every place outlined its modern logo.
Unknowingly, the car had already approached the teahouse they had made an appointment with in the east of the city. The teahouse was located in a neighborhood full of shops. Beach City is far away from Ran's father's company.However, the moment An Ziqi got out of the car, she suddenly understood something.
An Ziqi parked the car in front of the teahouse, and a vaguely bitter fragrance wafted out, but this did not attract An Ziqi's attention, and it was the restaurant opposite that made An Ziqi stop.
"Ling—Xiang—Ge—" An Ziqi looked at the plaque in the restaurant opposite, and couldn't help but read its name, "Why is it here? And the decoration style is so similar..." An Ziqi said in the Thinking in my heart, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind, "Isn't it surprising?"
An Ziqi looked back and saw that it was Ran's father walking over, An Ziqi nodded.Father Ran nodded, "Let's go inside and talk!" The two walked into the teahouse one after the other.Ran's father chose a seat on the second floor by the window and sat down. From the window, he could see the "Lingxiang Pavilion" on the opposite side.
After a while, the tea master finished making the tea, and curling cigarettes slowly diffused from the purple sand pot. The tea master distributed the teacups to Ran's father and An Ziqi. Fragrant, endless aftertaste.And An Ziqi seemed to lack this elegance, she turned the teacup in her hand, looked at Ran's father and asked, "Uncle, what you said on the phone yesterday..."
Ran's father waved his hand, interrupting An Ziqi's question, and at the same time signaled the tea master to go away.
"You know the Lingxiang Pavilion opposite, right?" Ran's father looked at the simple and elegant restaurant opposite through the glass window, and asked indifferently.
"Well, there used to be a restaurant behind the Academy of Fine Arts."
Father Ran nodded, agreeing with An Ziqi's answer, and added: "Well, I moved here a year ago."
An Ziqi looked at Ran's father in surprise for a moment, wondering what the relocation of this restaurant had to do with Mo Chen.
After a long time, Ran's father withdrew his gaze and looked at An Ziqi with unusually calm eyes, making it impossible to fathom what this man was thinking in his heart. He said to An Ziqi in a tone without any emotion, "A few days ago, I A friend of mine met Mo Chen here..."
An Ziqi couldn't believe her ears, it was like a thunderbolt hit her head, and her whole body went numb. "You... what did you say?"
"She's still alive." Ran's father said clearly word by word.
An Ziqi's eyes were staring, her facial muscles tensed and she opened her mouth, but no sound came out. For a moment, her mind was like a sticky mess, and she felt her body go cold for a while.
An Ziqi had doubts before, she didn't believe that the swollen woman who was salvaged from the water could be Mo Chen, she was wearing the same clothes, and the Mo family confirmed the identity of the deceased.An Ziqi couldn't help it either, it must be under such circumstances and under such a relationship, the Mo family would be considered a great "favor" for An Ziqi to take a look at her.
"Don't you dare to believe it?" Ran's father took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to glance at An Ziqi, and asked slowly.
"I..." An Ziqi hesitated and didn't know how to answer. Over the past few years, she seemed to have just begun to accept the reality of Mo Chen's death, but at this time someone told her that Mo Chen was not dead, and the person who told her unexpectedly It was Xiao Ran's father.
"It's okay, I knew you wouldn't believe it." Father Ran curled his lips, took out two photos from his briefcase, and pushed them in front of An Ziqi. "Do you see if this person is her?"
"This..." An Ziqi looked at the face of the elegantly dressed woman sitting in front of the table in the photo, put her finger on it, caressing the photo lightly, and instantly felt her heart jumping out, "What the hell is going on... ..." An Ziqi asked herself in her heart.
An Ziqi went to observe the photo carefully again, it seemed that the photo should have been taken from outside, only Mo Chen could be seen eating by the window.An Ziqi looked at the interior of the teahouse, and then looked at the photo, "This...was this taken in this teahouse?"
Father Ran nodded.
An Ziqi's hand holding the photo was sweating, and tears welled up in her eyes. She turned her gaze to Ran's father, and could only see the hazy figure of the middle-aged man in front of her. The corners of An Ziqi's mouth trembled slightly and she asked, "She...she now Where?"
☆, wet body
The man seemed very satisfied with An Ziqi's reaction, and replied with a half-smile, "Of course I know where she is now, but do you really want to know?"
An Ziqi was startled, and instantly understood what Ran's father meant.yes!Since he was able to find out Mo Chen's name, and knew that "Lingxiang Pavilion" used to be An Ziqi and Mo Chen's favorite restaurant, and he even found someone to trace Mo Chen's whereabouts, how could he not know where Mo Chen is now? where?But, does An Ziqi really want to know about Mo Chen's whereabouts?Since Mo Chen is still in this world, even in Yilan City, why didn't he go to An Ziqi?An Ziqi thought about it, and there was only one answer that she could think of - Mo Chen was avoiding An Ziqi on purpose, is it true?
On the other hand, An Ziqi is no longer the An Ziqi who just lost Mo Chen. She still has Xiao Ran by her side now. How could he hurt the innocent Xiao Ran?
However, how much did An Ziqi let go of Mo Chen?To answer with a sentence Mo Xi once said, that is, "I think the deepest love is to live like her after separation. This is An Ziqi now." Yes!An Ziqi was living more and more like the Mo Chen from before. It seemed that An Ziqi was the one who left this world after the car accident, and Mo Chen just changed An Ziqi's skin and continued to stay.
An Ziqi's thoughts became more and more chaotic. She no longer had the time to understand how Ran's father found out about all this. She also didn't know whether she wanted to get Mo Chen's news from Ran's father. She even just wanted to leave here and go back. Go to the "son-in-law's mansion" under the blue sea and blue sky, and continue to stay there, keeping that promise.
I don't know why the goal of her struggle in the past few years is to open that "son-in-law's mansion", but she never thought that the fire of love in her heart would be ignited there again. However, this fire of love seems to have nothing to do with Mo Chen.So why is she still there?She couldn't figure it out herself. When she knew the shop was going to be sold, she tried every means to keep the "consort mansion". Although Ran's father helped in the end, the exchange condition was An Ziqi's own idea. , but still felt ashamed of Xiao Ran for agreeing to such an exchange, so An Ziqi never mentioned it to Xiao Ran.
An Ziqi's thoughts were brought back to reality by a sneer, and a piece of paper was unfolded in front of An Ziqi, "She just left here two days ago, this is the city she flew to." Ran's father's voice was so cold Without a trace of emotion, even mixed with a trace of sarcasm.
When An Ziqi raised her eyes, Ran's father had already walked downstairs.
The note was unfolded in front of An Ziqi, reflecting the sunlight outside the window, emitting a dazzling light, a row of English letters came into An Ziqi's eyes, "Where did she go..." An Ziqi looked at the name of the city, and could not help but whisper Soliloquy.That city was the one she and Mo Chen made an appointment with, and it was the first city where they were going to get their certificates. An Ziqi suddenly thought that she was just 30 years old this year, right!This is the age Mo Chen made an appointment with her. "When you are 30 years old, we will go to get the certificate..." Mo Chen's words echoed in An Ziqi's mind over and over again.
When she came out of the teahouse, An Ziqi stood in front of the "Lingxiang Pavilion" shop in a daze and looked at it for a long time, until the waiter greeted her, An Ziqi forced a smile and walked away.
The car drove back to Beach City, and An Ziqi returned to the sea again, with the same blue sea and blue sky, and the same golden soft sand.However, An Ziqi suddenly felt that these were meaningless. "I'm here to watch you, why don't you come to see me? This is also our agreement!" An Ziqi felt disappointed in her heart, and her face was wet.
She parked the car on the shore, and walked aimlessly along the coastline alone. Tourists in twos and threes passed her by, and everything seemed so strange.This was the place where they made a promise, but Mo Chen did not come here to look for An Ziqi.
An Ziqi didn't know how far she had walked, until her legs gave way and she sat on the beach, looking at the endless sea in front of her, and suddenly thought of something in her heart. "No, since she will go to the 'Lingxiang Pavilion', and since she can still stick to that promise, then Ah Chen must have been to the seaside, yes! She must have seen the 'Consort's Mansion'..."
"Then why didn't she stay? Didn't she appear in the 'consort's mansion' one day as I expected?" An Ziqi's head hurt more and more, she buried her head between her knees, not knowing Was it the sleepless night last night, or the sudden incident today that made her exhausted, in short, in the passage of time, An Ziqi fell asleep unconsciously.
The dusk slowly covered the sea surface, and a layer of golden yellow shrouded it. Tourists gradually left, and waves of tide washed out to new heights of the sea surface.An Ziqi was sitting on the sand soaked by seawater, feeling chills coming over her, but she found someone calling her while she was in a daze.
"Sister - sister -" Is this a dream?An Ziqi opened her eyes in a daze, and raised her head from between her knees. "Xiao Ran?" An Ziqi watched curiously as Xiao Ran leaned over to guard her side, stepping barefoot in the sea water, pulling herself gently.
"Sister, you're awake, you scared me to death." Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly tried to hug An Ziqi with both hands, "Sister, get up quickly, the tide is rising."
Only then did An Ziqi realize that the sea water had reached her waist, and she took a few steps back with Xiao Ran's strength.
"Sister, let's go back quickly! Miss Bai is also worried about you. Where did you park the car? I'll drive over here." Xiao Ran helped An Ziqi, who looked haggard, to the gazebo.
An Ziqi touched her body and handed the key to Xiao Ran. Her heart seemed to be hollowed out, unable to speak anymore, she pointed to the distance.
Xiao Ran glanced in the direction An Ziqi pointed, although she could not see the car yet, but she already understood what An Ziqi meant, nodded to An Ziqi, turned around and prepared to drive.
As soon as he walked out of the gazebo, Xiao Ran looked back worriedly, "Sister, sit here and rest for a while, don't go anywhere!"
An Ziqi nodded to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran pursed her lips, and said, "Don't go away!"
"En." An Ziqi squeezed out a hoarse word from her throat.
Xiao Ran walked a few steps along the side of the road, kept looking forward, but couldn't see the car at all, and looked back at An Ziqi worriedly.A taxi stopped beside Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran got into the car. After driving for 10 minutes, he saw the white SUV parked by the side of the road.
When An Ziqi and Xiao Ran returned to the "son-in-law's mansion", Xiaobai was standing outside the shop looking around. Seeing them coming back, he rushed to open the car door, and asked An Ziqi anxiously with a hint of reproach in his voice: "Where are you going? You don't say a word, you go for a whole day, and you don't answer your phone..."
"Miss Xiaobai—" Xiao Ran interrupted Xiaobai's questioning, and signaled Xiaobai to stop talking.
Xiaobai sighed, looking at An Ziqi's gloomy expression, he couldn't help feeling distressed, looked down and saw An Ziqi's clothes dripping, and asked in surprise, "How did you do this? What happened?"
An Ziqi shook her head, and walked slowly into the store, "I want to rest for a while, my head hurts so much."
With questioning eyes, Xiaobai looked back at Xiao Ran, hoping to get an answer from Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran spread his hands to Xiao Bai.
It wasn't until the next morning that An Ziqi woke up again, feeling better. When she went downstairs, she found Xiao Ran was cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
"Little Ran—"
"Sister, are you awake? Sit there and wait, breakfast will be ready soon."
An Ziqi leaned against the kitchen door, quietly watching Xiao Ran's busy back, and saw the gods for a moment.
"Sister, it's time to eat." When Xiao Ran stood in front of An Ziqi with breakfast, An Ziqi finally recovered.
As soon as the breakfast was placed on the table, Xiao Bai also walked down, "Haha, it seems that I came just in time." After speaking, he sat down next to An Ziqi, and handed the empty bowl to An Ziqi as usual. "Hey, what's the matter with you? Tell me what's going on!"
An Ziqi frowned and put the bowl full of porridge in front of Xiao Bai, "Let's eat first!"
Xiao Ran looked at Xiaobai and then sideways at An Ziqi, but she didn't speak anymore, she also lowered her head and started eating breakfast.
The morning sun was shining just right on the white wicker chair outside the door of the "Consort's Mansion", An Ziqi was sitting there thoughtfully holding a glass of water.
"What's wrong with you? Can we talk now?" Xiao Bai walked out of the store by himself, opened the rattan chair and sat opposite An Ziqi.
An Ziqi glanced into the store through the glass window, took a deep breath, and slowly said to Xiao Bai: "Ah Chen may still be alive..."
"Ah! How is this possible?" Xiaobai's eyes widened in surprise, and he leaned over the table.
An Ziqi looked at Xiaobai with calm eyes and nodded.
"How do you know? If she's still alive, where is she now..." Xiao Bai asked like a cannonball.
Only then did An Ziqi tell Xiao Bai from the beginning to the end about meeting Ran's father yesterday.After the words fell, Xiaobai stared at An Ziqi dumbfounded for a long time before recovering, stretched out an arm in front of An Ziqi, "Pinch me, am I dreaming, Mo Chen is already... Isn't their family Have you tested it? How is this possible..."
"I couldn't believe it at first, but look at this..." An Ziqi put the two photos Ran's father gave her in front of Xiao Bai.
Holding the photo, Xiaobai said in surprise, "Impossible!"
"But, this is her!"
Xiaobai looked at this photo several times and wondered, "Is this photo synthetic?"
"I've tested it, it's unlikely. And..." An Ziqi paused, and continued, "The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible. I must have gone to see that person at that time, and it's already swollen to the point where I can't see it. Clear appearance..."
"Then...then what do you... mean? She's still alive?" Xiao Bai asked An Ziqi tentatively.
An Ziqi looked at Xiao Bai with affirmative eyes and nodded.
"What are you going to do? Do you know where she is now?"
"Well, Xiao Ran's father gave me this..." An Ziqi handed Xiao Bai the note that Ran's father gave her.
Xiao Bai took the note and looked at it, then asked An Ziqi, "Is she in this city?"
An Ziqi nodded.
Xiao Bai continued to ask: "Then you plan to find her?"
An Ziqi lowered her eyes, with worry in her eyes.Xiao Bai's question stayed at this moment, without waiting for An Ziqi's answer, but when she raised her eyes unintentionally, she saw a figure silently turning into the shop.
"Xiao Ran!" Xiao Bai's sudden cry made An Ziqi tremble.Is An Ziqi deliberately avoiding Xiao Ran and Xiao Bai from talking about this matter?So, An Ziqi was frightened and at a loss when she heard Xiao Bai call out Xiao Ran?
☆, go?Keep?
"Pa——" the glass fell to the ground, and the glass shards all over the floor reflected the sunlight.While An Ziqi quickly stood up and went after Xiao Ran, the glass in her hand was unfortunately thrown out.
"Xiao Ran! Xiao Ran! Listen to me..." An Ziqi didn't know when Xiao Ran stood at the door, let alone how much Xiao Ran heard about the conversation between her and Xiao Bai.
"Xiao Ran—" An Ziqi pulled Xiao Ran back, "I just found out about this too."
Xiao Ran didn't look back, tears rolled in her eyes, she seemed to realize something, but she didn't want to think about it anymore, but she couldn't accept that it was her father who told An Ziqi about it.
An Ziqi held Xiao Ran back, clearly telling Xiao Ran to listen to her explanation, but when Xiao Ran stopped running forward and stopped resisting, An Ziqi realized that she didn't know what to say.Standing one behind the other in the hall of the "Consort's Mansion", An Ziqi held Xiao Ran's wrist, and the two of them, like sculptures, stopped moving.One second, two seconds, ten seconds, 20 seconds... After almost a minute, Xiao Ran turned his head and looked at An Ziqi with calm eyes.
"Sister, are you going to find her?"
"I..." An Ziqi didn't know how to respond to Xiao Ran's direct question. "Am I going to find her?" An Ziqi kept asking herself this question since she found out about it yesterday, but she never got an answer.
Seeing An Ziqi's hesitant expression, Xiao Ran thought that he had got An Ziqi's affirmative answer, put one hand on An Ziqi's holding hand, gently pushed An Ziqi's hand away, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. , without asking any further questions, and disappeared into An Ziqi's out-of-focus sight.
When An Ziqi went to chase Xiao Ran again, Xiao Ran had already left the "son-in-law's mansion" through the back door. She didn't go back to school, and she didn't even have time to tell An Ziqi that she met a company that she liked at the job fair yesterday. , and the company seems to have a good impression of Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran has been notified to go to the company for further interviews tomorrow.Although this company is not by the sea, it is still in Beach City.So yesterday, before the job fair was over, Xiao Ran excitedly ran back to the "son-in-law's mansion", wanting to tell An Ziqi the good news as soon as possible.However, when they arrived at the "son-in-law's mansion", what they saw were Xiaobai and Youmeng's anxious expressions.
Xiao Ran ran out to look for An Ziqi before he could have lunch. He searched all afternoon, and Xiao Ran turned to all the streets by the sea. It was not until dusk that Xiao Ran saw An Ziqi immersed in the water by the sea.
Xiao Ran guessed that An Ziqi must have encountered something sad, and she also seemed to guess that this matter would have something to do with the Mo family, but she never expected that the person who opened this "door to hell" would be her own. Father.Why did the father go to investigate An Ziqi?Why did my father tell An Ziqi about this?Xiao Ran thought hard and couldn't think of a reason.
She was walking on the street, not wanting to be found by An Ziqi, so she walked to the passenger station without knowing it. "Do you want to go home?" Xiao Ran asked himself in his heart. "Well, let's go back! Otherwise, where else can we go? Maybe we can get some answers when we go back..." Thinking of this, Xiao Ran got on the bus back to the city.
On the other side, An Ziqi looked at the empty bedroom. There were too many memories of her in this room, those with Mo Chen and those with Xiao Ran. An Ziqi sat at the end of the bed, facing the large area in front of her. The shady scene, my heart is constantly churning.
The hand slid towards the wall, and the black curtain was torn apart, and the long-lost hand-painted painting reappeared in front of An Ziqi's eyes.An Ziqi knelt on the ground, in front of the hand-painted painting, and stroked the back of the long-haired woman. "Ah Chen—are you okay now? Why did you choose to leave? Do you want me to find you there? Shall we continue to fulfill our promise?" An Ziqi's hand slid down the wall, her body Slumped on the ground.
A sudden breeze rushed into the bedroom along with the open door.Xiao Bai approached An Ziqi, and sat quietly beside An Ziqi, looking at the hand-painted painting in front of him.
An Ziqi's eyes gradually became moist, and the hand-painted painting in front of her eyes became blurred. An Ziqi wiped her eyes with her hands, but she still couldn't see the characters in the painting clearly.His hands kept rubbing his eyes, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down.
"Ziqi—don't do this..." Xiaobai hugged An Ziqi, just like when Mo Chen left many years ago, she called her "Ziqi", she stayed by her side, as a kind of just right friend Follow her, accompany her with the identity of being an extra good word in front of friends...
An Ziqi was so choked up that she could hardly speak, her trembling body lay on Xiao Bai's shoulder.
"Are you really going to find her? She has already chosen to leave, why do you want to..." Xiaobai's blunt persuasion made An Ziqi cry even more sadly, but this sentence will have to be faced sooner or later, and the more The sooner a decision is made, the better it is for An Ziqi, and it is also good for Xiao Ran.
"I don't know, I really don't know... Why did she leave in the first place? Why did she leave when she came back? Did she really want me?" An Ziqi raised her head, watching with tears all over her face. Xiao Bai, "Also...and, what about Xiao Ran..."
Xiao Bai gently patted An Ziqi on the back, put An Ziqi on his shoulder, and said softly, "Maybe Ah Chen has been here? Maybe she saw you with Xiao Ran? Maybe... "
An Ziqi raised her head again, and asked urgently, "Really? How did you know? Did you see her coming? When? Why didn't you tell me..."
"Ziqi! Ziqi, calm down, I'm just assuming." Xiao Bai shook An Ziqi, trying to wake An Ziqi up.
"What if?" An Ziqi stopped making noise, and looked at Xiao Bai with a pair of dull eyes.
Xiaobai nodded, "Maybe she saw that you and Xiaoran were having a good time, and she didn't want to bother you anymore?"
"Is that really the case?" An Ziqi looked at Xiao Bai suspiciously.
Xiaobai held An Ziqi in his arms again, and said softly: "Well, it's very possible, if that's the case, why would you ruin her kindness? You should live with Xiaoran in a good way." That's right! Since she chose to leave, it means she has given up, right?"
"Give up? She gave up on me..." An Ziqi lay on Xiao Bai's shoulder and repeated these words over and over again.
When Xiao Ran opened the door and entered the house, he did not expect that his father was also at home.If it was a normal day, Father Ran would not be at home at this time, as if he knew Xiao Ran would come back, he was already sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for Xiao Ran.
"Ran Ran, you're back." Ran's father put down the documents in his hand and looked at Xiao Ran.After Ran's father came out of the teahouse yesterday, he went to the company to explain some things, and then went home directly. He never left the house until Xiao Ran entered the door, and brought all the work back home to handle it.He seemed to be waiting for Xiao Ran, waiting for Xiao Ran to come back, waiting to help Xiao Ran sort out his thoughts.
"Dad—" Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment in the living room, then turned around and wanted to go upstairs.
"Ran Ran, come and talk to Dad for a while, okay?" The man said lovingly to his daughter.
Xiao Ran was at a loss and walked up to Ran's father, and stood motionless in front of Ran's father.
Ran's father gestured to the sofa next to him and told Xiao Ran to sit down.
"Ran Ran, your mother and I are just a baby girl like you. We have spoiled you since we were young, and we will satisfy you no matter what you want. Of course, you are also worthy of our pride. You have always been an obedient and sensible child. But, I don't know why you suddenly don't want to go to Dad's company, didn't you say you wanted Dad to retire earlier and took your mother out for a walk a few years ago!"
Xiao Ran lowered her head in shame, not daring to look into her father's eyes.
Ran's father sighed lightly, and continued: "Ran Ran, I don't blame you, you must have your own ideas when you grow up, I just want to find out the reason here. I know that when the child grows up, some things are wrong. I will talk to my parents again, so I have no choice but to check it myself, and I hope you can understand Dad about this."
Ran's father looked at Xiao Ran and saw that Xiao Ran didn't make any reaction, so he had no choice but to continue talking, "However, the results I found also shocked me. My daughter actually fell in love with a girl who was just like me. girl……"
Xiao Ran suddenly clenched her lower lip and raised her eyes to look at her father.She seemed to be waiting for the trial. Although she had the urge to tell her parents many times about such a seemingly outrageous thing, she still couldn't speak out.Now that her father pointed it out, she couldn't see his father's intentions, but she knew that it was impossible for her parents to accept this matter so easily.
The corners of Ran's father's lips curled up slightly, and he said to Xiao Ran in an extremely gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, I paid your mother out today, just to analyze this matter clearly with you."
Xiao Ran looked back around the room, only to realize that her mother was not at home, and she looked at her father with less worry.
"Ran Ran, you know that the people Dad loves the most in this world are you and your mother. No matter who you like, Dad can accept it, as long as she also likes you wholeheartedly. However, after I found out about that matter, I found out that the person you like doesn't like you that much in his heart!"
"Dad, she..." Xiao Ran was about to explain something to An Ziqi when he was interrupted by Ran's father.
"Ran Ran, listen to my analysis first, and it's not too late for you to speak for her again."
Xiao Ran stopped talking, and looked at his father with pursed lips.
Father Ran slowed down, and then said: "I think you already know the result of the investigation. That's right! That girl is still alive. If it's not what I expected, your little sister An should be very troubled now, right?"
Xiao Ran frowned and looked at his father.
"She is wandering between love and pity now. Love, of course, refers to Xiao An's pity for that girl..." Ran's father didn't have the heart to say the following words, and didn't take An Ziqi's feelings for Xiao Ran as pity. speak out.
Father Ran took a deep breath and continued: "Ran Ran, if I were you, I would encourage her to find that girl now, do you know why?"
Xiao Ran looked at his father and shook his head.
"Because if you want to be able to live with someone for a long time, first of all, you have to know whether she really loves you; secondly, it depends on whether the two of you are compatible with each other; In future changes, the living environment is constantly changing. Even if the two of you live together every day, you cannot be the same. If two people grow at different speeds during the changes, it is necessary to rely on mutual understanding. , tolerated each other."
A look of approval appeared on Xiao Ran's face, and he nodded involuntarily following his father's words.
Seeing the change in Xiao Ran's expression, Ran's father relaxed a little, "It is for this reason that I advise you to let her go. Since she is so abnormal when she knows that the girl is still alive, it proves that she There is still that girl in my heart. And if you don’t let her go at this time, or if she doesn’t leave you temporarily because she is reluctant to part with you, then sooner or later she will leave you. Because the two of you will This matter has left a knot, a knot that can never be untied. In this case, you might as well persuade her to find that girl, and entrust the relationship between the two of you in Xiaoan's hands and in the future. And you can also think about the relationship between the two of you during this period of time, whether it is true love or other feelings."
Xiao Ran stared at his father intently, waiting for his father's next words with more and more serious eyes.However, Ran's father didn't seem to want to continue talking. He patted Xiao Ran's shoulder and said lovingly: "Ran Ran, you are already an adult, and my father only analyzed it for you so far. I still need you to explain how to do it. Decide for yourself. No matter what choice you make, Dad will support you. This home will always be your harbor. Remember, no matter what happens, Dad will be at home waiting for you to come back. If you want to talk to Dad, Dad will listen So, if you don't want to talk, Dad will just stay with you."
☆, dust settled
"Dad——" Xiao Ran threw herself into her father's arms, crying uncontrollably, she didn't have any words to refute her father at this moment.Father's love is so great, he can accept things that are unacceptable for his daughter, and he can also clear away possible obstacles in front of her for her daughter, and when her daughter is helpless, he is the big tree on which her daughter perches, Strong arms.
Ran's father patted Xiao Ran's back, and said softly: "Okay! Don't cry, now you just need to strengthen yourself, that's what you have to do." Xiao Ran nodded in his father's arms .
That night, Xiao Ran tossed and turned on the bed, going through all the things after meeting An Ziqi in his head, and seriously thought about what his father said to him during the day.It wasn't until dawn that Xiao Ran made up his mind. After making a decision, he seemed to relax a lot. In the first ray of sunlight coming in from the window, Xiao Ran fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Ran didn't go to that company for a retest. Maybe she missed an opportunity, but she thought about one thing clearly.When Xiao Ran woke up at noon, her head was no longer groggy, and when she walked downstairs, she only saw her mother busy making lunch.Xiao Ran walked up to his mother, and while pinching a piece of green vegetable with his fingers and feeding it to his mouth, he asked his mother, "Mom, where is my dad?"
"Where else can your father go? Go to work!" Ran's mother saw Xiao Ran's actions the moment she turned her head, patted Xiao Ran's hand, and continued, "You child, why can't you fix this problem? Hurry up and wash up. Didn't you go upstairs early in the morning yesterday! Why did you wake up so late today!" Ran's mother chattered non-stop to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran stuck out her tongue at Ran's mother, and hurried out of the kitchen.
After lunch, Xiao Ran still decided to go back to the "consort's mansion". Things still have to be faced, and the phone was turned off last night. When she woke up at noon today, her phone was full of An Ziqi's messages. She knew that such an escape was wrong. It's just that yesterday she needed some time to calmly sort out some things.Now that I have figured things out and made a decision, I need to face it and explain everything clearly.
Xiao Ranlin returned a message to An Ziqi before leaving the house, telling An Ziqi that she was going to go back now, and that she could discuss everything in person later.When seeing An Ziqi, Xiao Ran's heart tightened. Xiao Bai told Xiao Ran that An Ziqi didn't sleep all night, and she didn't lie on the bed until today when she received Xiao Ran's reply. Xiao Ran sat down slowly. Standing next to An Ziqi, looking at her swollen eyes, the tender eyes were full of pity.
Xiao Ran bent her knees and lay down in An Ziqi's arms. An Ziqi didn't open her eyes, but wrapped her arms around Xiao Ran, buried her head in Xiao Ran's hair, and continued to sleep.
The twilight gradually came from the distant mountains, skimming over the blue of the sea, covered with a layer of golden glare.When An Ziqi opened her eyes, Xiao Ran and An Ziqi were still embracing each other in the same position before going to bed. It looked as if nothing had happened, but their bodies were close to each other, but their hearts were more intimate. layer sudden barrier.
After dinner, Xiao Ran stayed in the "consort's mansion", still sitting on the sofa in the living room, still went to take a bath one after another, still An Ziqi gave Xiao Ran her pajamas to wear, still chatted with wine after taking a bath,
Xiao Ran wanted to ask An Ziqi what happened a few times, but when she thought that her sister was the kind of person who wouldn't tell if she didn't want to, she gave up.After thinking about it, I always felt that this matter should have something to do with the phone call An Ziqi answered in the car.
An Ziqi stayed up all night, and as soon as the morning came, she sent a message to Xiao Ran saying that she would not go for a run, so she drove to Yilan City. On the way, she made an appointment with Ran's father on the time and place to meet, and hung up the phone At the same time, a feeling of uneasiness emerged again.
The car passed through the high-rise buildings in Yilan City, the streets were full of traffic, and the criss-crossing traffic facilities constituted the blood and skeleton of the city, and every place outlined its modern logo.
Unknowingly, the car had already approached the teahouse they had made an appointment with in the east of the city. The teahouse was located in a neighborhood full of shops. Beach City is far away from Ran's father's company.However, the moment An Ziqi got out of the car, she suddenly understood something.
An Ziqi parked the car in front of the teahouse, and a vaguely bitter fragrance wafted out, but this did not attract An Ziqi's attention, and it was the restaurant opposite that made An Ziqi stop.
"Ling—Xiang—Ge—" An Ziqi looked at the plaque in the restaurant opposite, and couldn't help but read its name, "Why is it here? And the decoration style is so similar..." An Ziqi said in the Thinking in my heart, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind, "Isn't it surprising?"
An Ziqi looked back and saw that it was Ran's father walking over, An Ziqi nodded.Father Ran nodded, "Let's go inside and talk!" The two walked into the teahouse one after the other.Ran's father chose a seat on the second floor by the window and sat down. From the window, he could see the "Lingxiang Pavilion" on the opposite side.
After a while, the tea master finished making the tea, and curling cigarettes slowly diffused from the purple sand pot. The tea master distributed the teacups to Ran's father and An Ziqi. Fragrant, endless aftertaste.And An Ziqi seemed to lack this elegance, she turned the teacup in her hand, looked at Ran's father and asked, "Uncle, what you said on the phone yesterday..."
Ran's father waved his hand, interrupting An Ziqi's question, and at the same time signaled the tea master to go away.
"You know the Lingxiang Pavilion opposite, right?" Ran's father looked at the simple and elegant restaurant opposite through the glass window, and asked indifferently.
"Well, there used to be a restaurant behind the Academy of Fine Arts."
Father Ran nodded, agreeing with An Ziqi's answer, and added: "Well, I moved here a year ago."
An Ziqi looked at Ran's father in surprise for a moment, wondering what the relocation of this restaurant had to do with Mo Chen.
After a long time, Ran's father withdrew his gaze and looked at An Ziqi with unusually calm eyes, making it impossible to fathom what this man was thinking in his heart. He said to An Ziqi in a tone without any emotion, "A few days ago, I A friend of mine met Mo Chen here..."
An Ziqi couldn't believe her ears, it was like a thunderbolt hit her head, and her whole body went numb. "You... what did you say?"
"She's still alive." Ran's father said clearly word by word.
An Ziqi's eyes were staring, her facial muscles tensed and she opened her mouth, but no sound came out. For a moment, her mind was like a sticky mess, and she felt her body go cold for a while.
An Ziqi had doubts before, she didn't believe that the swollen woman who was salvaged from the water could be Mo Chen, she was wearing the same clothes, and the Mo family confirmed the identity of the deceased.An Ziqi couldn't help it either, it must be under such circumstances and under such a relationship, the Mo family would be considered a great "favor" for An Ziqi to take a look at her.
"Don't you dare to believe it?" Ran's father took a sip of tea, raised his eyes to glance at An Ziqi, and asked slowly.
"I..." An Ziqi hesitated and didn't know how to answer. Over the past few years, she seemed to have just begun to accept the reality of Mo Chen's death, but at this time someone told her that Mo Chen was not dead, and the person who told her unexpectedly It was Xiao Ran's father.
"It's okay, I knew you wouldn't believe it." Father Ran curled his lips, took out two photos from his briefcase, and pushed them in front of An Ziqi. "Do you see if this person is her?"
"This..." An Ziqi looked at the face of the elegantly dressed woman sitting in front of the table in the photo, put her finger on it, caressing the photo lightly, and instantly felt her heart jumping out, "What the hell is going on... ..." An Ziqi asked herself in her heart.
An Ziqi went to observe the photo carefully again, it seemed that the photo should have been taken from outside, only Mo Chen could be seen eating by the window.An Ziqi looked at the interior of the teahouse, and then looked at the photo, "This...was this taken in this teahouse?"
Father Ran nodded.
An Ziqi's hand holding the photo was sweating, and tears welled up in her eyes. She turned her gaze to Ran's father, and could only see the hazy figure of the middle-aged man in front of her. The corners of An Ziqi's mouth trembled slightly and she asked, "She...she now Where?"
☆, wet body
The man seemed very satisfied with An Ziqi's reaction, and replied with a half-smile, "Of course I know where she is now, but do you really want to know?"
An Ziqi was startled, and instantly understood what Ran's father meant.yes!Since he was able to find out Mo Chen's name, and knew that "Lingxiang Pavilion" used to be An Ziqi and Mo Chen's favorite restaurant, and he even found someone to trace Mo Chen's whereabouts, how could he not know where Mo Chen is now? where?But, does An Ziqi really want to know about Mo Chen's whereabouts?Since Mo Chen is still in this world, even in Yilan City, why didn't he go to An Ziqi?An Ziqi thought about it, and there was only one answer that she could think of - Mo Chen was avoiding An Ziqi on purpose, is it true?
On the other hand, An Ziqi is no longer the An Ziqi who just lost Mo Chen. She still has Xiao Ran by her side now. How could he hurt the innocent Xiao Ran?
However, how much did An Ziqi let go of Mo Chen?To answer with a sentence Mo Xi once said, that is, "I think the deepest love is to live like her after separation. This is An Ziqi now." Yes!An Ziqi was living more and more like the Mo Chen from before. It seemed that An Ziqi was the one who left this world after the car accident, and Mo Chen just changed An Ziqi's skin and continued to stay.
An Ziqi's thoughts became more and more chaotic. She no longer had the time to understand how Ran's father found out about all this. She also didn't know whether she wanted to get Mo Chen's news from Ran's father. She even just wanted to leave here and go back. Go to the "son-in-law's mansion" under the blue sea and blue sky, and continue to stay there, keeping that promise.
I don't know why the goal of her struggle in the past few years is to open that "son-in-law's mansion", but she never thought that the fire of love in her heart would be ignited there again. However, this fire of love seems to have nothing to do with Mo Chen.So why is she still there?She couldn't figure it out herself. When she knew the shop was going to be sold, she tried every means to keep the "consort mansion". Although Ran's father helped in the end, the exchange condition was An Ziqi's own idea. , but still felt ashamed of Xiao Ran for agreeing to such an exchange, so An Ziqi never mentioned it to Xiao Ran.
An Ziqi's thoughts were brought back to reality by a sneer, and a piece of paper was unfolded in front of An Ziqi, "She just left here two days ago, this is the city she flew to." Ran's father's voice was so cold Without a trace of emotion, even mixed with a trace of sarcasm.
When An Ziqi raised her eyes, Ran's father had already walked downstairs.
The note was unfolded in front of An Ziqi, reflecting the sunlight outside the window, emitting a dazzling light, a row of English letters came into An Ziqi's eyes, "Where did she go..." An Ziqi looked at the name of the city, and could not help but whisper Soliloquy.That city was the one she and Mo Chen made an appointment with, and it was the first city where they were going to get their certificates. An Ziqi suddenly thought that she was just 30 years old this year, right!This is the age Mo Chen made an appointment with her. "When you are 30 years old, we will go to get the certificate..." Mo Chen's words echoed in An Ziqi's mind over and over again.
When she came out of the teahouse, An Ziqi stood in front of the "Lingxiang Pavilion" shop in a daze and looked at it for a long time, until the waiter greeted her, An Ziqi forced a smile and walked away.
The car drove back to Beach City, and An Ziqi returned to the sea again, with the same blue sea and blue sky, and the same golden soft sand.However, An Ziqi suddenly felt that these were meaningless. "I'm here to watch you, why don't you come to see me? This is also our agreement!" An Ziqi felt disappointed in her heart, and her face was wet.
She parked the car on the shore, and walked aimlessly along the coastline alone. Tourists in twos and threes passed her by, and everything seemed so strange.This was the place where they made a promise, but Mo Chen did not come here to look for An Ziqi.
An Ziqi didn't know how far she had walked, until her legs gave way and she sat on the beach, looking at the endless sea in front of her, and suddenly thought of something in her heart. "No, since she will go to the 'Lingxiang Pavilion', and since she can still stick to that promise, then Ah Chen must have been to the seaside, yes! She must have seen the 'Consort's Mansion'..."
"Then why didn't she stay? Didn't she appear in the 'consort's mansion' one day as I expected?" An Ziqi's head hurt more and more, she buried her head between her knees, not knowing Was it the sleepless night last night, or the sudden incident today that made her exhausted, in short, in the passage of time, An Ziqi fell asleep unconsciously.
The dusk slowly covered the sea surface, and a layer of golden yellow shrouded it. Tourists gradually left, and waves of tide washed out to new heights of the sea surface.An Ziqi was sitting on the sand soaked by seawater, feeling chills coming over her, but she found someone calling her while she was in a daze.
"Sister - sister -" Is this a dream?An Ziqi opened her eyes in a daze, and raised her head from between her knees. "Xiao Ran?" An Ziqi watched curiously as Xiao Ran leaned over to guard her side, stepping barefoot in the sea water, pulling herself gently.
"Sister, you're awake, you scared me to death." Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly tried to hug An Ziqi with both hands, "Sister, get up quickly, the tide is rising."
Only then did An Ziqi realize that the sea water had reached her waist, and she took a few steps back with Xiao Ran's strength.
"Sister, let's go back quickly! Miss Bai is also worried about you. Where did you park the car? I'll drive over here." Xiao Ran helped An Ziqi, who looked haggard, to the gazebo.
An Ziqi touched her body and handed the key to Xiao Ran. Her heart seemed to be hollowed out, unable to speak anymore, she pointed to the distance.
Xiao Ran glanced in the direction An Ziqi pointed, although she could not see the car yet, but she already understood what An Ziqi meant, nodded to An Ziqi, turned around and prepared to drive.
As soon as he walked out of the gazebo, Xiao Ran looked back worriedly, "Sister, sit here and rest for a while, don't go anywhere!"
An Ziqi nodded to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran pursed her lips, and said, "Don't go away!"
"En." An Ziqi squeezed out a hoarse word from her throat.
Xiao Ran walked a few steps along the side of the road, kept looking forward, but couldn't see the car at all, and looked back at An Ziqi worriedly.A taxi stopped beside Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran got into the car. After driving for 10 minutes, he saw the white SUV parked by the side of the road.
When An Ziqi and Xiao Ran returned to the "son-in-law's mansion", Xiaobai was standing outside the shop looking around. Seeing them coming back, he rushed to open the car door, and asked An Ziqi anxiously with a hint of reproach in his voice: "Where are you going? You don't say a word, you go for a whole day, and you don't answer your phone..."
"Miss Xiaobai—" Xiao Ran interrupted Xiaobai's questioning, and signaled Xiaobai to stop talking.
Xiaobai sighed, looking at An Ziqi's gloomy expression, he couldn't help feeling distressed, looked down and saw An Ziqi's clothes dripping, and asked in surprise, "How did you do this? What happened?"
An Ziqi shook her head, and walked slowly into the store, "I want to rest for a while, my head hurts so much."
With questioning eyes, Xiaobai looked back at Xiao Ran, hoping to get an answer from Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran spread his hands to Xiao Bai.
It wasn't until the next morning that An Ziqi woke up again, feeling better. When she went downstairs, she found Xiao Ran was cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
"Little Ran—"
"Sister, are you awake? Sit there and wait, breakfast will be ready soon."
An Ziqi leaned against the kitchen door, quietly watching Xiao Ran's busy back, and saw the gods for a moment.
"Sister, it's time to eat." When Xiao Ran stood in front of An Ziqi with breakfast, An Ziqi finally recovered.
As soon as the breakfast was placed on the table, Xiao Bai also walked down, "Haha, it seems that I came just in time." After speaking, he sat down next to An Ziqi, and handed the empty bowl to An Ziqi as usual. "Hey, what's the matter with you? Tell me what's going on!"
An Ziqi frowned and put the bowl full of porridge in front of Xiao Bai, "Let's eat first!"
Xiao Ran looked at Xiaobai and then sideways at An Ziqi, but she didn't speak anymore, she also lowered her head and started eating breakfast.
The morning sun was shining just right on the white wicker chair outside the door of the "Consort's Mansion", An Ziqi was sitting there thoughtfully holding a glass of water.
"What's wrong with you? Can we talk now?" Xiao Bai walked out of the store by himself, opened the rattan chair and sat opposite An Ziqi.
An Ziqi glanced into the store through the glass window, took a deep breath, and slowly said to Xiao Bai: "Ah Chen may still be alive..."
"Ah! How is this possible?" Xiaobai's eyes widened in surprise, and he leaned over the table.
An Ziqi looked at Xiaobai with calm eyes and nodded.
"How do you know? If she's still alive, where is she now..." Xiao Bai asked like a cannonball.
Only then did An Ziqi tell Xiao Bai from the beginning to the end about meeting Ran's father yesterday.After the words fell, Xiaobai stared at An Ziqi dumbfounded for a long time before recovering, stretched out an arm in front of An Ziqi, "Pinch me, am I dreaming, Mo Chen is already... Isn't their family Have you tested it? How is this possible..."
"I couldn't believe it at first, but look at this..." An Ziqi put the two photos Ran's father gave her in front of Xiao Bai.
Holding the photo, Xiaobai said in surprise, "Impossible!"
"But, this is her!"
Xiaobai looked at this photo several times and wondered, "Is this photo synthetic?"
"I've tested it, it's unlikely. And..." An Ziqi paused, and continued, "The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible. I must have gone to see that person at that time, and it's already swollen to the point where I can't see it. Clear appearance..."
"Then...then what do you... mean? She's still alive?" Xiao Bai asked An Ziqi tentatively.
An Ziqi looked at Xiao Bai with affirmative eyes and nodded.
"What are you going to do? Do you know where she is now?"
"Well, Xiao Ran's father gave me this..." An Ziqi handed Xiao Bai the note that Ran's father gave her.
Xiao Bai took the note and looked at it, then asked An Ziqi, "Is she in this city?"
An Ziqi nodded.
Xiao Bai continued to ask: "Then you plan to find her?"
An Ziqi lowered her eyes, with worry in her eyes.Xiao Bai's question stayed at this moment, without waiting for An Ziqi's answer, but when she raised her eyes unintentionally, she saw a figure silently turning into the shop.
"Xiao Ran!" Xiao Bai's sudden cry made An Ziqi tremble.Is An Ziqi deliberately avoiding Xiao Ran and Xiao Bai from talking about this matter?So, An Ziqi was frightened and at a loss when she heard Xiao Bai call out Xiao Ran?
☆, go?Keep?
"Pa——" the glass fell to the ground, and the glass shards all over the floor reflected the sunlight.While An Ziqi quickly stood up and went after Xiao Ran, the glass in her hand was unfortunately thrown out.
"Xiao Ran! Xiao Ran! Listen to me..." An Ziqi didn't know when Xiao Ran stood at the door, let alone how much Xiao Ran heard about the conversation between her and Xiao Bai.
"Xiao Ran—" An Ziqi pulled Xiao Ran back, "I just found out about this too."
Xiao Ran didn't look back, tears rolled in her eyes, she seemed to realize something, but she didn't want to think about it anymore, but she couldn't accept that it was her father who told An Ziqi about it.
An Ziqi held Xiao Ran back, clearly telling Xiao Ran to listen to her explanation, but when Xiao Ran stopped running forward and stopped resisting, An Ziqi realized that she didn't know what to say.Standing one behind the other in the hall of the "Consort's Mansion", An Ziqi held Xiao Ran's wrist, and the two of them, like sculptures, stopped moving.One second, two seconds, ten seconds, 20 seconds... After almost a minute, Xiao Ran turned his head and looked at An Ziqi with calm eyes.
"Sister, are you going to find her?"
"I..." An Ziqi didn't know how to respond to Xiao Ran's direct question. "Am I going to find her?" An Ziqi kept asking herself this question since she found out about it yesterday, but she never got an answer.
Seeing An Ziqi's hesitant expression, Xiao Ran thought that he had got An Ziqi's affirmative answer, put one hand on An Ziqi's holding hand, gently pushed An Ziqi's hand away, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. , without asking any further questions, and disappeared into An Ziqi's out-of-focus sight.
When An Ziqi went to chase Xiao Ran again, Xiao Ran had already left the "son-in-law's mansion" through the back door. She didn't go back to school, and she didn't even have time to tell An Ziqi that she met a company that she liked at the job fair yesterday. , and the company seems to have a good impression of Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran has been notified to go to the company for further interviews tomorrow.Although this company is not by the sea, it is still in Beach City.So yesterday, before the job fair was over, Xiao Ran excitedly ran back to the "son-in-law's mansion", wanting to tell An Ziqi the good news as soon as possible.However, when they arrived at the "son-in-law's mansion", what they saw were Xiaobai and Youmeng's anxious expressions.
Xiao Ran ran out to look for An Ziqi before he could have lunch. He searched all afternoon, and Xiao Ran turned to all the streets by the sea. It was not until dusk that Xiao Ran saw An Ziqi immersed in the water by the sea.
Xiao Ran guessed that An Ziqi must have encountered something sad, and she also seemed to guess that this matter would have something to do with the Mo family, but she never expected that the person who opened this "door to hell" would be her own. Father.Why did the father go to investigate An Ziqi?Why did my father tell An Ziqi about this?Xiao Ran thought hard and couldn't think of a reason.
She was walking on the street, not wanting to be found by An Ziqi, so she walked to the passenger station without knowing it. "Do you want to go home?" Xiao Ran asked himself in his heart. "Well, let's go back! Otherwise, where else can we go? Maybe we can get some answers when we go back..." Thinking of this, Xiao Ran got on the bus back to the city.
On the other side, An Ziqi looked at the empty bedroom. There were too many memories of her in this room, those with Mo Chen and those with Xiao Ran. An Ziqi sat at the end of the bed, facing the large area in front of her. The shady scene, my heart is constantly churning.
The hand slid towards the wall, and the black curtain was torn apart, and the long-lost hand-painted painting reappeared in front of An Ziqi's eyes.An Ziqi knelt on the ground, in front of the hand-painted painting, and stroked the back of the long-haired woman. "Ah Chen—are you okay now? Why did you choose to leave? Do you want me to find you there? Shall we continue to fulfill our promise?" An Ziqi's hand slid down the wall, her body Slumped on the ground.
A sudden breeze rushed into the bedroom along with the open door.Xiao Bai approached An Ziqi, and sat quietly beside An Ziqi, looking at the hand-painted painting in front of him.
An Ziqi's eyes gradually became moist, and the hand-painted painting in front of her eyes became blurred. An Ziqi wiped her eyes with her hands, but she still couldn't see the characters in the painting clearly.His hands kept rubbing his eyes, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down.
"Ziqi—don't do this..." Xiaobai hugged An Ziqi, just like when Mo Chen left many years ago, she called her "Ziqi", she stayed by her side, as a kind of just right friend Follow her, accompany her with the identity of being an extra good word in front of friends...
An Ziqi was so choked up that she could hardly speak, her trembling body lay on Xiao Bai's shoulder.
"Are you really going to find her? She has already chosen to leave, why do you want to..." Xiaobai's blunt persuasion made An Ziqi cry even more sadly, but this sentence will have to be faced sooner or later, and the more The sooner a decision is made, the better it is for An Ziqi, and it is also good for Xiao Ran.
"I don't know, I really don't know... Why did she leave in the first place? Why did she leave when she came back? Did she really want me?" An Ziqi raised her head, watching with tears all over her face. Xiao Bai, "Also...and, what about Xiao Ran..."
Xiao Bai gently patted An Ziqi on the back, put An Ziqi on his shoulder, and said softly, "Maybe Ah Chen has been here? Maybe she saw you with Xiao Ran? Maybe... "
An Ziqi raised her head again, and asked urgently, "Really? How did you know? Did you see her coming? When? Why didn't you tell me..."
"Ziqi! Ziqi, calm down, I'm just assuming." Xiao Bai shook An Ziqi, trying to wake An Ziqi up.
"What if?" An Ziqi stopped making noise, and looked at Xiao Bai with a pair of dull eyes.
Xiaobai nodded, "Maybe she saw that you and Xiaoran were having a good time, and she didn't want to bother you anymore?"
"Is that really the case?" An Ziqi looked at Xiao Bai suspiciously.
Xiaobai held An Ziqi in his arms again, and said softly: "Well, it's very possible, if that's the case, why would you ruin her kindness? You should live with Xiaoran in a good way." That's right! Since she chose to leave, it means she has given up, right?"
"Give up? She gave up on me..." An Ziqi lay on Xiao Bai's shoulder and repeated these words over and over again.
When Xiao Ran opened the door and entered the house, he did not expect that his father was also at home.If it was a normal day, Father Ran would not be at home at this time, as if he knew Xiao Ran would come back, he was already sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for Xiao Ran.
"Ran Ran, you're back." Ran's father put down the documents in his hand and looked at Xiao Ran.After Ran's father came out of the teahouse yesterday, he went to the company to explain some things, and then went home directly. He never left the house until Xiao Ran entered the door, and brought all the work back home to handle it.He seemed to be waiting for Xiao Ran, waiting for Xiao Ran to come back, waiting to help Xiao Ran sort out his thoughts.
"Dad—" Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment in the living room, then turned around and wanted to go upstairs.
"Ran Ran, come and talk to Dad for a while, okay?" The man said lovingly to his daughter.
Xiao Ran was at a loss and walked up to Ran's father, and stood motionless in front of Ran's father.
Ran's father gestured to the sofa next to him and told Xiao Ran to sit down.
"Ran Ran, your mother and I are just a baby girl like you. We have spoiled you since we were young, and we will satisfy you no matter what you want. Of course, you are also worthy of our pride. You have always been an obedient and sensible child. But, I don't know why you suddenly don't want to go to Dad's company, didn't you say you wanted Dad to retire earlier and took your mother out for a walk a few years ago!"
Xiao Ran lowered her head in shame, not daring to look into her father's eyes.
Ran's father sighed lightly, and continued: "Ran Ran, I don't blame you, you must have your own ideas when you grow up, I just want to find out the reason here. I know that when the child grows up, some things are wrong. I will talk to my parents again, so I have no choice but to check it myself, and I hope you can understand Dad about this."
Ran's father looked at Xiao Ran and saw that Xiao Ran didn't make any reaction, so he had no choice but to continue talking, "However, the results I found also shocked me. My daughter actually fell in love with a girl who was just like me. girl……"
Xiao Ran suddenly clenched her lower lip and raised her eyes to look at her father.She seemed to be waiting for the trial. Although she had the urge to tell her parents many times about such a seemingly outrageous thing, she still couldn't speak out.Now that her father pointed it out, she couldn't see his father's intentions, but she knew that it was impossible for her parents to accept this matter so easily.
The corners of Ran's father's lips curled up slightly, and he said to Xiao Ran in an extremely gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, I paid your mother out today, just to analyze this matter clearly with you."
Xiao Ran looked back around the room, only to realize that her mother was not at home, and she looked at her father with less worry.
"Ran Ran, you know that the people Dad loves the most in this world are you and your mother. No matter who you like, Dad can accept it, as long as she also likes you wholeheartedly. However, after I found out about that matter, I found out that the person you like doesn't like you that much in his heart!"
"Dad, she..." Xiao Ran was about to explain something to An Ziqi when he was interrupted by Ran's father.
"Ran Ran, listen to my analysis first, and it's not too late for you to speak for her again."
Xiao Ran stopped talking, and looked at his father with pursed lips.
Father Ran slowed down, and then said: "I think you already know the result of the investigation. That's right! That girl is still alive. If it's not what I expected, your little sister An should be very troubled now, right?"
Xiao Ran frowned and looked at his father.
"She is wandering between love and pity now. Love, of course, refers to Xiao An's pity for that girl..." Ran's father didn't have the heart to say the following words, and didn't take An Ziqi's feelings for Xiao Ran as pity. speak out.
Father Ran took a deep breath and continued: "Ran Ran, if I were you, I would encourage her to find that girl now, do you know why?"
Xiao Ran looked at his father and shook his head.
"Because if you want to be able to live with someone for a long time, first of all, you have to know whether she really loves you; secondly, it depends on whether the two of you are compatible with each other; In future changes, the living environment is constantly changing. Even if the two of you live together every day, you cannot be the same. If two people grow at different speeds during the changes, it is necessary to rely on mutual understanding. , tolerated each other."
A look of approval appeared on Xiao Ran's face, and he nodded involuntarily following his father's words.
Seeing the change in Xiao Ran's expression, Ran's father relaxed a little, "It is for this reason that I advise you to let her go. Since she is so abnormal when she knows that the girl is still alive, it proves that she There is still that girl in my heart. And if you don’t let her go at this time, or if she doesn’t leave you temporarily because she is reluctant to part with you, then sooner or later she will leave you. Because the two of you will This matter has left a knot, a knot that can never be untied. In this case, you might as well persuade her to find that girl, and entrust the relationship between the two of you in Xiaoan's hands and in the future. And you can also think about the relationship between the two of you during this period of time, whether it is true love or other feelings."
Xiao Ran stared at his father intently, waiting for his father's next words with more and more serious eyes.However, Ran's father didn't seem to want to continue talking. He patted Xiao Ran's shoulder and said lovingly: "Ran Ran, you are already an adult, and my father only analyzed it for you so far. I still need you to explain how to do it. Decide for yourself. No matter what choice you make, Dad will support you. This home will always be your harbor. Remember, no matter what happens, Dad will be at home waiting for you to come back. If you want to talk to Dad, Dad will listen So, if you don't want to talk, Dad will just stay with you."
☆, dust settled
"Dad——" Xiao Ran threw herself into her father's arms, crying uncontrollably, she didn't have any words to refute her father at this moment.Father's love is so great, he can accept things that are unacceptable for his daughter, and he can also clear away possible obstacles in front of her for her daughter, and when her daughter is helpless, he is the big tree on which her daughter perches, Strong arms.
Ran's father patted Xiao Ran's back, and said softly: "Okay! Don't cry, now you just need to strengthen yourself, that's what you have to do." Xiao Ran nodded in his father's arms .
That night, Xiao Ran tossed and turned on the bed, going through all the things after meeting An Ziqi in his head, and seriously thought about what his father said to him during the day.It wasn't until dawn that Xiao Ran made up his mind. After making a decision, he seemed to relax a lot. In the first ray of sunlight coming in from the window, Xiao Ran fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Ran didn't go to that company for a retest. Maybe she missed an opportunity, but she thought about one thing clearly.When Xiao Ran woke up at noon, her head was no longer groggy, and when she walked downstairs, she only saw her mother busy making lunch.Xiao Ran walked up to his mother, and while pinching a piece of green vegetable with his fingers and feeding it to his mouth, he asked his mother, "Mom, where is my dad?"
"Where else can your father go? Go to work!" Ran's mother saw Xiao Ran's actions the moment she turned her head, patted Xiao Ran's hand, and continued, "You child, why can't you fix this problem? Hurry up and wash up. Didn't you go upstairs early in the morning yesterday! Why did you wake up so late today!" Ran's mother chattered non-stop to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran stuck out her tongue at Ran's mother, and hurried out of the kitchen.
After lunch, Xiao Ran still decided to go back to the "consort's mansion". Things still have to be faced, and the phone was turned off last night. When she woke up at noon today, her phone was full of An Ziqi's messages. She knew that such an escape was wrong. It's just that yesterday she needed some time to calmly sort out some things.Now that I have figured things out and made a decision, I need to face it and explain everything clearly.
Xiao Ranlin returned a message to An Ziqi before leaving the house, telling An Ziqi that she was going to go back now, and that she could discuss everything in person later.When seeing An Ziqi, Xiao Ran's heart tightened. Xiao Bai told Xiao Ran that An Ziqi didn't sleep all night, and she didn't lie on the bed until today when she received Xiao Ran's reply. Xiao Ran sat down slowly. Standing next to An Ziqi, looking at her swollen eyes, the tender eyes were full of pity.
Xiao Ran bent her knees and lay down in An Ziqi's arms. An Ziqi didn't open her eyes, but wrapped her arms around Xiao Ran, buried her head in Xiao Ran's hair, and continued to sleep.
The twilight gradually came from the distant mountains, skimming over the blue of the sea, covered with a layer of golden glare.When An Ziqi opened her eyes, Xiao Ran and An Ziqi were still embracing each other in the same position before going to bed. It looked as if nothing had happened, but their bodies were close to each other, but their hearts were more intimate. layer sudden barrier.
After dinner, Xiao Ran stayed in the "consort's mansion", still sitting on the sofa in the living room, still went to take a bath one after another, still An Ziqi gave Xiao Ran her pajamas to wear, still chatted with wine after taking a bath,
