Jian Shuo and Ruan Qingyin ate pizza.

If someone robs you, the food will look particularly delicious.

Both of their cheeks puffed up.

"Jane Shuo, you are so treacherous! The pizza you picked has a lot of mushrooms on it, I think the mushrooms are delicious!"

"The piece you picked has five slices of beef on it, but mine only has four slices!"

"Have you figured this out?!"

"of course!"

Ruan Mohan has been sitting quietly opposite them.

Jian Shuo bit the pizza and calmed down.

Ruan Qingyin followed her and calmed down, looking at Jian Shuo and Ruan Mohan.

"Mom, do you really not eat a single bite of pizza?"

Ruan Mohan shook his head.

Jian Shuo suddenly bluffed again: "Ha, there are more mushrooms on this piece!"

"Which one is which?" Ruan Qingyin's attention was attracted.

"Not to you, mine!"

Suddenly, Ruan Mohan's mobile phone on the table rang.

Jian Shuo's hand reaching for the pizza froze suddenly.

Ruan Qingyin took the opportunity to reach out her hand: "Ha, it's mine now!"

Jian Shuo looked at the piece of pizza that Ruan Qingyin had snatched away, but from the corner of her eye, she glanced at Ruan Mohan's phone screen.

Unsurprisingly three words——

Ginger, Kay, Lun.

The phone kept ringing, and the vibrating tabletop with two pizzas undulated slightly: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo——"

Ruan Mohan also kept staring at the piece of pizza that Ruan Qingyin grabbed in his hand, without any reaction.

Just when Jian Shuo thought she would not answer.

Ruan Mohan stood up quietly, holding the phone in his hand: "I'll go out for a while."

Jian Shuo still looked at the pizza in Ruan Qingyin's hand: "Oh."

She didn't know what she said "oh", maybe Ruan Mohan's words were meant to Ruan Qingyin.

The cold and white figure in front of his eyes disappeared, and the scent of fir trees from his nose also disappeared.

Ruan Qingyin bit the pizza: "Are you stupid?"

"Still following out?"

Jian Shuo picked up the piece of pizza that was placed on the iron plate just now, and fed it into his mouth: "Why should I go out with you?"

"It's not my phone."

Ruan Qingyin hummed: "Then don't go!"

"If you tell me not to go, I won't go? Why should I listen to you!" Jian Shuo threw off the pizza and ran out puffing her cheeks.

Ruan Qingyin was left alone at the table, eating pizza, looking at Jian Shuo's back with disgust.

******

When Jian Shuo chased him out, he saw Ruan Mohan sitting on a bench under a tree.

She slowed down and walked over quietly.

Ruan Mohan glanced up at her, without saying a word, took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, and lit it for himself.

In order to eat pizza, Ruan Mohan drove all the way to the city center. It took a while to wait for the pizza to be baked, and it took another while for Jian Shuo and Ruan Qingyin to quarrel with each other to eat pizza. It was almost seven o'clock at this time.

In midsummer and July, it won't be dark at seven o'clock, it still feels like daytime.

It's just that it's different from the afternoon sky, it's still dyed with a little twilight, as if the air around people is a little fuzzy.

Jian Shuo quietly stood in front of Ruan Mohan: "Have you finished answering the phone?"

Ruan Mohan let out a "hmm".

"What did Jiang Karen say?"

Jian Shuo felt that she was asking a silly question, and Ruan Mohan could get her back by saying "it's none of your business".

But Ruan Mohan replied: "About going to visit Yao Yuan's grave tomorrow."

Jian Shuo: "Oh."

Ruan Mohan smoked a cigarette: "You shouldn't go with me tomorrow, right? Bai Jingxian's due date is tomorrow, so she should tell you to go to the hospital."

Jian Shuo: "She called me."

Ruan Mohan: "Oh."

What did you ask Jian Shuo to go to the hospital for?Let her know how difficult it is to have a child, let her know how difficult it is to give up the child and stay with her?

The two stopped talking.

Ruan Mohan was silently smoking a cigarette, Jian Shuo was silently watching the spark on her lips, flickering in the shadow of the tree crown.

Jian Shuo didn't know what she was thinking, so she stretched out her hand and faced Ruan Mohan, spreading her palm open.

Ruan Mohan glanced at her.

"Soot," she said.

Ruan Mohan shook his head.

Jian Shuo bit her lower lip, smiled coquettishly and indifferently, and flicked her hand violently, swinging back and forth in the air, like ADHD.

With such a coquettish and indifferent smile: "Hey, who is that person on Wednesday night?"

Ruan Mohan: "A detective."

Jian Shuo was taken aback: "Detective?"

"I asked her to help me find Bai Jingxian before."

"Then why did she go to your house to look for you? Listen to those crap things, you should have done the investigation long ago."

Ruan Mohan was silent while smoking a cigarette.

Jian Shuo still smiled: "I ran to your house so late to ask you to confess my love?"

Ruan Mohan suddenly raised his head, his light brown eyes met Jian Shuo's dark pupils: "Yes."

Jian Shuo smiled more and more indifferently: "I didn't expect you to be quite popular."

"In addition to Jiang Karen, there is another detective."

"You have so many choices."

Her arms swinging back and forth in the air seemed more and more fidgety.

Ruan Mohan seemed to take a deep breath, and kept looking at Jian Shuo's pupils without saying a word.

Jian Shuo stopped waving her hands and lowered them: "What did you say?"

"Ok?"

"How did you respond to her confession?" Jian Shuo said impatiently, "That's the detective."

Ruan Mohan said indifferently: "Rejected."

Jian Shuo smiled: "Why?"

"Why do you say?"

"Detectives are smarter, not as easy to use as me?"

Ruan Mohan seemed to take another breath, smoking a cigarette, and stopped looking at Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo took another step forward, and confronted Ruan Mohan: "Will you not come back after you go to see Jiang Kailun tomorrow?"

Ruan Mohan was smoking a cigarette, looking down at the bushes: "Didn't you tell me to go?"

"Yes, because I don't want to be your second choice forever."

"Will you?" She asked, "After seeing Jiang Kailun, won't you come back?"

"Do you care?" Ruan Mohan said indifferently, "Aren't you going to the hospital to find Bai Jingxian?"

"Do you want me to go?" Jian Shuo took another step forward.

She smashed a bit of leather on the toe of the shoe, and it reached Ruan Mohan's toe.

Ruan Mohan lowered his head and looked at the toes of their shoes touching together: "What does this have to do with whether I want you to go or not?"

"As long as you say you don't want me to go, I won't go."

Ruan Mohan still lowered his head and took a puff of cigarette.

A gust of wind blows, and a bit of fine soot falls on Ruan Mohan's shoe, and then floats to Jian Shuo's shoe.

Ruan Mohan's thin lips moved.

Close again.

Finally, she spoke slowly: "I won't say anything."

"If you want to go, you can go."

"If you need a mother so badly."

Jian Shuo smiled: "That's it."

"Then let's go our separate ways tomorrow? You go to Jiang Kailun, and I go to Bai Jingxian?"

a long time.

Ruan Mohan: "What do you think?"

Jian Shuo didn't speak.

Ruan Mohan stood up, pinched out the cigarette, and threw it into the roadside trash can: "Go back, Yinyin is waiting alone."

Jian Shuo followed her.

Ruan Mohan didn't look back, and said to her: "You don't need to come in."

"You've almost eaten enough."

Jian Shuo: "The pizza...hasn't finished yet."

At that time, the reason why Jian Shuo asked Ruan Qingyin to order two nine-inch pizzas was not because of greed.

Of course, there is also an element of greed, but in her heart, there is still a faint idea——

It’s as if the meal will never end if there’s no end to the pizza.

Ruan Mohan directly exposed her: "It's impossible to finish two nine-inch pizzas."

"But you still asked Ruan Qingyin to order."

Ruan Mohan's footsteps faltered slightly, and he continued to walk forward.

"I'll pack it so I don't waste food."

"Oh."

"Goodbye."

"……goodbye."

******

Sunday noon.

After Ruan Mohan and Ruan Qingyin had lunch, they stood alone on the balcony, smoking a cigarette.

A little bit of fine rain floated on her white arms, carrying a rare coolness in July.

Ruan Mohan didn't take it seriously, and didn't stand further inside the balcony.

She stared at the slightly wet spot on her forearm, concentrating slightly.

She just didn't expect it to rain today.

It was obviously hot yesterday, but today it started to rain.

On the day I went to visit the tomb, it was actually gray and rainy, which was a ridiculous coincidence.

Ruan Mohan suddenly remembered that Ruan Qingyin once complained to her: "Mom, you don't even know how stupid the servant is!"

"I wanted her to help me with the reading questions, but there was a multiple-choice question, and she chose Rain to express her joy?!"

Ruan Qingyin pursed her lips: "I don't dare to ask her to help me with my homework anymore."

Ruan Mohan was smoking a cigarette, looking at the fine rain curtain in front of him.

She thought Jian Shuo was really ridiculous, how could it be possible to express joy in the rain?

A piece of tide, a piece of dust, every strand of rain seems to be tied to a human heart, falling continuously.

It had nothing to do with elation anyway.

Watching Yu smoking a cigarette, Ruan Mohan's cell phone rang.

She answered indifferently: "Hello."

Jiang Karen's elegant and unwavering voice came: "It's raining today, be careful of the slippery road."

"know."

"Do you need me to pick you up?"

"No, I'm going to drive right away."

"Okay, see you later."

Ruan Mohan hung up the phone.

She quietly smoked the cigarette between her fingers.

That's what Jiang Karen is.

Jiang Kailun will not directly urge you to go, but will only remind you to be careful of slippery roads and ask if you want to pick you up.

As a result, Ruan Mohan had no choice but to drive on time and walk into Jiang Kailun's game step by step.

******

Ruan Mohan finished smoking and walked back to the living room.

She told Ruan Qingyin: "I'm going out."

Ruan Qingyin was sitting on the sofa watching a movie, and said "um" absently.

Ruan Mohan glanced at the TV, it was playing "ET" that Ruan Qingyin hadn't finished watching last time.

Ruan Mohan picked up her bag and was about to go out. When she reached the entrance, Ruan Qingyin suddenly called her: "Mom."

Ruan Mohan turned his head.

Ruan Qingyin was still staring at the TV, but she asked, "Aren't you going home?"

It seems to have a premonition.

Ruan Mohan: "No."

"No matter what, I won't leave you."

she left.

******

On the road, the rainy road surface was splashed with fine rain and fog by passing cars.

In Ruan Mohan's sensitive ears, rustle, rustle, rustle.

Ruan Mohan looked calm, listening to the emotionless mechanical female voice from the navigation: "500 meters ahead, turn left."

Ruan Mohan drove to that intersection, and raised his eyes to glance at the road sign.

His eyes froze for a moment before drifting away.

The street sign said that the right direction of the fork in the road is leading to the H Hospital where Bai Jingxian is located.

Ruan Mohan still looked calm, driving the car towards the left direction of the navigation prompt.

******

It was raining today, and it was not around Qingming, so there were very few people in the cemetery.

Ruan Mohan parked the car, held an umbrella and walked up the steps to the entrance of the cemetery.

Jiang Kailun held a big black umbrella and stood at the entrance of the cemetery waiting for her.

A black dress looks elegant and solemn.

Seeing Ruan Mohan approaching, he smiled and nodded at her: "You are very punctual."

Ruan Mohan said indifferently, "I'm always on time."

Jiang Karen: "Then let's go in."

The two walked quietly into the cemetery one after the other.

Ruan Mohan followed behind Jiang Kailun, looking at Jiang Kailun's back.

The footsteps were light, not as gloomy as she had imagined.

It seemed that the sweeping of the tomb did not have any impact on her mood.

Jiang Kailun is not pretending, she is indeed the person she has always shown in front of Ruan Mohan.

Emotionless.There is no flaw.No pain.Peace forever.

Jiang Kailun led Ruan Mohan to a tombstone: "This is her."

The tombstone is small and short, elegant and delicate.

Ruan Mohan is also wearing a black dress today, a windbreaker style, which suits her cool temperament very well.

Jiang Kailun stood aside, watching Ruan Mohan holding an umbrella in one hand and putting the other in his skirt pocket, his light brown hair blowing in the wind, quietly looking at a small photo inlaid on the tombstone.

The tombstone is extremely simple, except for the photo, there are only Yao Yuan's name and the year of birth and death.

Looking at the photo, Ruan Mohan felt a bit like Bai Jingxian.

It's not about the looks, but the gentle and warm feeling, even warmer than Bai Jingxian.

It seems that he is the most gentle and affectionate person in the world. It is absolutely unexpected that this person is the most unemotional person.

Ruan Mohan asked: "How did you know each other?"

Jiang Karen: "She is my superior. When I was 30 years old, when I was the same age as you, she joined GS."

Ruan Mohan: "That's why you found me."

Jiang Kailun smiled: "Director Ruan, many times I feel that you are smarter than I thought."

"You have already guessed that I have been looking for you to experience the feeling of being in Yao Yuan's place."

She looked at the tombstone and said: "After Yao Yuan joined GS, I quickly fell in love with her, but I also quickly discovered that she is different from ordinary people."

"No emotion, no flaws."

Ruan Mohan asked: "Is she born like Bai Jingxian, or was she raised like you?"

"Natural." Jiang Kailun said: "There are such people in the world, Yao Yuan, Bai Jingxian... Their gene sequences are probably consistent with the kind of natural killers who can't empathize with others."

"It's just that they have an extra sense of reason, so they can hide among ordinary people, look for one target after another, and play one game after another."

Ruan Mohan: "You were Yao Yuan's goal and game back then."

"Yes." Jiang Kailun said: "I was in great pain back then. I couldn't get what I asked for, and I lost it when I got it. It's hard to say which thing is the most painful thing in the world."

"At that time Yao Yuan asked me, do you want to become a person like her, who has no emotion and no pain? To me, this is simply the sweetest poison of temptation."

"Ruan Mohan, I always wanted you to see Yao Yuan, and later, I wanted you to at least come and see Yao Yuan's tomb."

"Because as long as you see Yao Yuan, with your sensitivity, you will know that what I said is true."

"Yao Yuan can use her method to change me step by step from affectionate to ruthless now. I can also use her method to transform you from affectionate to ruthless like me back then."

She asked Ruan Mohan: "Do you believe it?"

Ruan Mohan said lightly, "I believe."

From the photo on the tombstone that looked similar to Bai Jingxian, and from the way Jiang Kailun looked at the photo, she believed it.

Jiang Karen: "I knew you would believe it."

"So, now, would you like to be like me?"

"Without emotion, there really is no pain. Like me, enjoy peace and quiet for ten years."

"Ruan Mohan, come and become my kind."

Ruan Mohan: "In order to let you experience the feeling of being Yao Yuan?"

"Yes." Jiang Kailun smiled: "It's a win-win for us, isn't it?"

"President Jiang." Ruan Mohan looked away from the tombstone, and met Jiang Kailun's sable eyes: "Actually, ever since I promised you to visit the grave, I've never stood here to become your kind."

Jiang Karen: "Then why did you come?"

She thought for a while: "Is it because Jian Shuo wants you to come?"

"Yes, and no." Ruan Mohan said, "If I don't come, I will never be able to prove to Jian Shuo that she is never my second choice."

"If I don't come, I'll never be able to prove to myself whether I'd regret keeping my feelings if I knew how peaceful it was to be emotionless."

She glanced at Yao Yuan on the tombstone, that face was gentler than Bai Jingxian's.

The ultimate state that a person without emotion can achieve.

"Now I see it and I know it."

Jiang Karen: "Don't you yearn for it?"

"Are you sure you won't yearn for it when you have nightmares about Ruan Qiu all night long?"

"Are you sure you won't yearn for Jian Shuo when you know that Jian Shuo chose Bai Jingxian and gave up on you?"

Ruan Mohan glanced at the tombstone again: "To be honest, if there is no Jian Shuo in this world, I will yearn for it."

Jiang Kailun: "There is Jian Shuo in this world, even if you met Jian Shuo before you met me, you still have a choice now."

"No." Ruan Mohan met Jiang Kailun's sable eyes, and for the first time, her fingertips did not tremble at all: "Boss Jiang, you don't understand."

"Maybe you could understand it ten years ago, but you can't understand it now."

"From the moment I met Jian Shuo, I have no choice."

"Jane Shuo, it's never been one of my choices."

******

The rain is still falling.

Holding an umbrella, Ruan Mohan remembered the multiple-choice question that Jian Shuo had done before in the third grade of elementary school. She chose rain to express the author's elated mood.

Ruan Mohan pursed the corners of his lips.

"Boss Jiang, I'm leaving first."

Jiang Kailun asked: "Jian Shuo was going to accompany you, why are you alone now?"

Ruan Mohan glanced at Jiang Kailun.

Jiang Kailun said again: "Jian Shuo went to Bai Jingxian's place, you reject me now, are you really sure you won't regret it?"

Ruan Mohan didn't answer, and walked out of the cemetery holding an umbrella.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

Jiang Kailun's shout sounded behind her: "Ruan Mohan!"

Ruan Mohan turned his head indifferently, put his hands in the skirt pockets of a black dress, and looked at Jiang Kailun with a pair of light brown eyes, calm and composed.

Jiang Kailun was stunned.

For the first time, the elegant and gentle light was no longer shining in her eyes.

Ruan Mohan said indifferently: "Boss Jiang, you have broken your skills."

"It turns out that your flaw was when you discovered that you might never have the chance to be Yao Yuan."

The rain is getting heavier.

Jiang Kailun looked at Ruan Mohan through the heavy rain: "Ruan Mohan, you are so ruthless."

Ruan Mohan: "To each other."

She turned and walked forward again.

Jiang Karen asked behind her, "Where are you going?"

"Hospital H."

"Jian Shuo went to look for Bai Jingxian, and you still want to go to her? She didn't choose you."

"Mr. Jiang." Ruan Mohan looked back at her for the last time: "I think you may not be clear, but I know her better than Jian Shuo."

"I'm pretty sure she's mine. If her pig's brain still can't figure it out, then I'm going to snatch her back now."

"Pig brain?"

"I'm sorry." Ruan Mohan said, "Maybe I've been with my kind for a long time, and her mouth got spoiled."

"Jane Shuo, she is my kind."

******

H Hospital.

The last parking space.

Ruan Mohan drifted beautifully, and when she was about to reverse the car into the garage, a car coming from behind ran right in front of her.

From such an angle, it was obvious that he couldn't stop in, but he was so shameless that he didn't let Ruan Mohan stop in.

Ruan Mohan pulled the car directly to get out of the car, walked into the rain without an umbrella, and knocked on the car window of the other party.

There was a fat man with an inch-cut in the driver's seat, and a short-haired woman in the co-pilot. She also seemed to be visiting relatives and friends in the hospital. She ignored Ruan Mohan at all, and just sat there, looking forward, with a confident look.

The heavy rain drenched Ruan Mohan's body, and soon her long hair was wet, and her windbreaker dress was also wet.

The feeling of huge raindrops hitting her skin was slightly tingling, which made her feel a little refreshed for no reason.

Ruan Mohan walked directly back to his car, and pulled the car to get in the car.

The opponent's car still refused to give way.

Ruan Mohan tapped the oil, and hit it directly, with a "bang".

The other party was startled, and finally he was willing to get out of the car: "I call you crazy?"

Go check out your car now.

Ruan Mohan also got out of the car.

Ruan Mohan's driving skills are very good. He was very skillful in the collision just now. He hit the gas and hit the brakes at the end. In fact, he just hit the other side's car lightly.

Not even leaving any traces, small punishments and big punishments.

Ruan Mo looked at the other party coldly: "Drive away, or I will hit you again."

The fat man with an inch hair was scared a little silly by this cold woman in a black dress.

The short-haired woman stepped forward and pestered: "You hit our car..."

Ruan Mohan: "Do you want to report to the insurance or call the police? It's up to you."

But Che obviously has nothing to do, and the newspaper can't report anything.

Ruan Mohan: "If you don't report it, drive away."

She was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and pulled the car again to get in the car, sat in the driver's seat, and looked at the couple coldly.

Why did she give up the last parking space?

Why should she give up what belongs to her?

Intimidated by her aura, the fat man with the short hair pulled the short-haired woman, cursed and drove away.

Ruan Mohan parked the car, got out of the car and took an umbrella, and walked towards the hospital building.

To walk a certain distance, she plugged a Bluetooth headset into her ear.

The female singer's cool voice is very suitable for the rainy day in midsummer, singing:

"Prove that you love someone,

After all, it's not easy,

Is it cheap?

There are so many songs and tears. (Note 1)"

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and when Ruan Mohan thought it was extreme, it could continue to grow.

The slender heels of the black high-heeled shoes step on the ground water like a stream.

The water flow is getting denser and denser, with the momentum of impacting everything.

The whole world became foggy, and the rain was so heavy that everything in front of us could not be seen clearly. The hospital building that was close in front of us seemed to be in another world far away.

Ruan Mohan's high-heeled shoes stepped on the first step of the hospital building, splashing water all over the ground, crashing.

A coquettish and wronged voice sounded in the heavy rain and became very hazy: "Ruan Mohan."

"Why... did you come here?"
