"Impossible. I'm just curious about her. How could I fall in love with her?”
After thinking for a while, Xing Lan still smiled bitterly. He didn't think that he loved Jinghan.
"Every love has a different form and feeling. Perhaps your love begins with curiosity.”
The little demon turned around and looked at Xing Lan. After saying that, she looked at the road ahead again.
"I still don't believe you. Hey, stop the car. I'm going to buy something.”
When they passed by a supermarket, Xing Lan signaled for Little Yao to stop the car.
"What do you want to buy?"
The little demon was a little puzzled because the necessities in the car were very complete.
"Just you wait."
As he spoke, Xing Lan got out of the car and walked towards the supermarket. When he returned, he had a pack of cigarettes in his hand.
"I really don't know when you'll be able to quit smoking.”
Seeing Xing Lan get into the car, Little Yao rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Smoking is a good thing. When you are lonely and alone, only its heart will be willing to accompany you. As long as you have money, it will never abandon you. Don't worry, even if I quit eating, I won't quit smoking.”
Xing Lan smiled as he fiddled with the cigarette case. The words he said seemed to be a kind of lament.
"It's as if you're often abandoned.”
The little demon still pretended not to be affected.
"(*^__^*) Heehee…”
Xing Lan laughed as he went to unwrap it.
"Hey, let me tell you, smoking is not allowed in my car.”
Seeing Xing Lan take out a cigarette, Little Yao said in shock.
"What are you doing? You're acting as if I stole your vegetables. If you don't want to let me go, then let me go.”
Xing Lan teased as he prepared to get off the car.
"Hey, hey, okay, let's go. I'm really impressed by you.”
Little Yao directly promised Xing Lan to smoke in the car, but Xing Lan still did not smoke. When Little Yao teased him, Xing Lan defended himself with his strong self-control. Of course, the result was that Little Yao rolled her eyes.
Time could really change everything. After being together for a long time, Xing Lan no longer had the hostility towards Xiaoyao when they first met, and Xiaoyao also no longer had the restraint when Xing Lan was hostile. The two of them went to Tian An Men and the Great Wall. Unfortunately, it suddenly rained in the afternoon, and the two of them had no choice but to terminate their plan to go to Xiangshan.
"How do you feel?"
On the way back, the car stopped in front of the sidewalk at the crossroads. The red light at the top showed that the time was 59 seconds. It was still drizzling outside, but it was just 2 p. m., but because of the dense dark clouds in the sky, it was like a sunset. People holding umbrellas walked on the sidewalk in groups. Those who did not hold umbrellas held their documents on their heads and ran quickly to the other side. The cars on both sides were also racing past, causing the thin water on the ground to splash in all directions. Xing Lan, who was in the car, looked at the brush that occasionally brushed past the windshield and asked Little Witch with a smile.
"It was quite fun, but I didn't take the cable car. I wonder how it would feel to see the Great Wall from the cable car. I think it should be very magnificent, hehe.”
Little Yao smiled in response to Xing Lan. From Little Yao's tone, Xing Lan could hear that she was still immersed in the process of playing.
"Will you stay in Beijing?"
As Xing Lan spoke, he lowered his head and lit up a cigarette. A cloud of smoke that gave people a feeling of chaos was spat out from Xing Lan's mouth, and the little demon began to become silent.
"Actually…"
It was difficult for the little demon to say this.
"Actually what?"
Xing Lan turned to look at Little Yao.
"Actually, I don't have a flower shop. I lied to you. This won't stop us from becoming friends, right?”
The little demon smiled at Xing Lan. Xing Lan's eyes never left her.
"We are friends."
Turning his head to take a puff of his cigarette, Xing Lan did not reveal any emotions. He did not expect Little Yao to actually lie to him.
"I came to Beijing after I came back from the base. After all, it's an international city. It's also my dream to come to Beijing. You know that I'm more cautious when I come back from the base.”
"Testing me, right?"
Turning around to look at the little demon, Xing Lan directly spoke.
"I hope you can understand."
The little demon's tone was very low.
"I should be glad to have passed your exam.”
Xing Lan looked out of the car window after he finished speaking. His tone was more like a self-deprecating one.
"I'm sorry. Perhaps you're very angry, but that's not my intention. Since I'm telling you this time, it's because I've decided to leave.”
Looking at Xing Lan, Little Demon's tone was very firm.
"Forget it. It's actually nothing. I didn't lose a piece of meat. Don't take it to heart. I just can't accept this lie for a moment.”
Throwing away the cigarette butt in his hand, Xing Lan closed the car window with a look of relief.
"Let's go."
Looking at the green light, Xing Lan gestured for Xiaoyao to drive.
"Thank you. What about you? What are your plans?”
After starting the car, Little Demon asked Xing Lan.
"Continue to make up your own dreams. Without the unique conditions of others, you can only be a restless clown for the time being.”
Xing Lan had an indifferent expression.
"Hehe, I forgot that you're also an artist. You really didn't recognize Mount Tai.”
The atmosphere was broken as the little demon teased.
"Aren't you planning to stay in Beijing?"
Looking at Xing Lan, the little demon continued to ask.
"No, I need a place to be inspired. Although Beijing is not bad, it makes my thoughts very chaotic, just like now.”
As Xing Lan spoke, he pointed at the speeding cars and countless people and continued,"" If it were any other city, it would be a very quiet and sad moment, but not in Beijing. Beijing is like a gorgeous stone sculpture to me. When you are happy, he is like this, and when you are sad, he is still like this. I am a novice in the field of artistic conception painting, so I can't withstand such cruel training.”
" Pfft!" Little Demon laughed." You're treating the characteristics of Beijing as your training. Hehe, it's so funny. You're indeed a rookie in the art world. I think I can already see you succeed. But what you said is very reasonable. Although some people have described Beijing to me, it's definitely not as classic as yours. I'm also looking for the reason why I left Beijing. After hearing what you said, I suddenly feel the same."”
"A city must have its own unique characteristics. Beijing also has its own good places. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people willing to come to Beijing.”
Xing Lan lit another cigarette.
"There are always some reasons that will make you willingly stay in a certain city, whether you like it or not.”
The little demon's words were more like a sigh.
Xing Lan did not reply. The car became very quiet for a moment.
The rain did not slow down at all. From time to time, a few cars would fly past them. The sound of " Shua Shua " could be heard without end. The cars slowly slowed down as they turned the corner. The road to Xing Lan's residence was already a foot away. Through the glass of the car window, Xing Lan could see that there were still many people queuing up in the rain in front of the bus stop. Wang Yu and Ya Bin were actually among them.
"I'm going back."
Little Yao parked the car by the roadside, and Xing Lan turned to look at her.
"Yeah, I'm leaving too."
Little Yao also looked at Xing Lan.
"Are you leaving today?"
Xing Lan asked with a trace of doubt.
"En, actually, I didn't plan to come back when I went to Shen Yang. It's pretty good, I had a lot of fun today.”
The little demon smiled at Xing Lan.
"We will meet again, right?”
Xing Lan kept looking at Little Yao.
"Yes, I will. I definitely will."
Little Yao looked at Xing Lan again after she finished speaking.
"Oh, right."
The little demon seemed to have thought of something and immediately rummaged through the back seat. After a while, an exquisite box appeared in her hand.
"I almost forgot. I was going to give you a pendant, but I didn't expect you to wear it, so I can only give you this. I hope you don't mind.”
Little Yao looked at the "wall fire" on Xing Lan's neck and stared at the box.
"What is this?"
Xing Lan took the box and opened it immediately. It was a belt. The exquisite packaging and the unique design of the front part made Xing Lan know that this belt must be expensive.
"Don't misunderstand. I brought Uncle Wang, Liu Nan, and the others, so you must accept them.”
Looking at the small demon, he spoke again.
"Alright, but I don't have anything to give you.”
Xing Lan looked at Little Yao again.
"I've already thought it through. You just need to give me an autograph. What if you really become famous one day and forget about me?”
As Little Witch spoke, she took out an exquisite notebook and pen under Xing Lan's bitter smile.
"I'm about to vomit blood, hehe."
As Xing Lan spoke, he still took the pen and notebook.
"You're not allowed to look at it. You can talk about my ugly writing after you leave.”
After Xing Lan finished writing, he closed the book and only returned it to Xiao Yao after she agreed.
"If possible, try to change your job. Your language organization, expression, and personality are different from them. The higher-ups have a certain degree of self-restraint. After all, they are highly educated people, so they should be very suitable for you. So if possible, it's better to return to Chengdu. Don't misunderstand. When I noticed you, you had just arrived in Chengdu.”
During this period of silence, the little demon spoke up to dissuade him. Her words were very serious. Perhaps she was afraid that Xing Lan would misunderstand, so the little demon spoke up to explain.
"I will consider it."
This time, Xing Lan did not blame Little Yao for tracking him down.
"I really don't understand why you have to squeeze into such a field when you've been a high-ranking official for the past few years. Although you've only been in the base for such a short time, you're completely capable of supporting yourself.”
Little Yao looked at Xing Lan after asking this question. Xing Lan could not help but smile bitterly. He had never seen Little Yao, who knew half of the things in the sky and all the things on the ground, be so curious. Little Yao did not care about Xing Lan's bitter smile. He just continued to look at him with an expression of anticipation.
"Then, watch."
Xing Lan pulled his upper lip closer to Little Witch. Little Witch instinctively raised her eyebrows and looked closer when she was sure that Xing Lan had no ill intentions.
"Did you fight with someone?"
Looking at the not-so-obvious scar on Xing Lan's mouth, Little Yao's tone carried a trace of questioning.
"Would I be injured like this in a fight?"
Sitting back in his seat, Xing Lan lit a cigarette and his thoughts seemed to fly back to a long time ago. Little Yao kept looking at him.
"I drank too much and got into a car accident. I was drunk and driving without a license.”
Xing Lan exhaled a smoke ring and continued,"" Thirteen years old. I only found out after the incident. At the prime of thirteen years old, how much money do you think I would have to spend to buy one of her legs? I was wondering if it was my leg that was broken at that time. Now that I think about it, would I not blame myself so much? Hehe, but it's not. I'm not the one who broke my leg. Therefore, God destined me to owe others time and time again. I don't want to owe others.”
After saying that, Xing Lan smiled to himself. His smile seemed so forced to Little Yao.
"It's as if what should happen is destined.”
The little demon was almost talking to herself.
"Be careful on the road."
Xing Lan walked into the rain as he spoke. Little Yao did not stop him. Xing Lan, who was in the rain, heard the car start slightly and then slowly leave. Xing Lan did not know if he was very disappointed at that time because he wrote on the signature he left for Little Yao: Forget-me-not. Even Xing Lan himself could not explain why he wrote these. After pondering for a while, Xing Lan smiled bitterly and realized that this was the first time he had gone out alone with a girl. That feeling was very strange.
"Where did he go?"
While he was thinking, Wang Yu's words interrupted Xing Lan's thoughts. Xing Lan looked over and saw Wang Yu and Ya Bin, who were waiting for the bus, sharing an umbrella. Hearing Wang Yu's words, Ya Bin also smiled and expressed his goodwill to Xing Lan.
"F * ck, my belt."
Xing Lan turned around under the puzzled gazes of Wang Yu and the other two, but the little demon had long disappeared without a trace.
"What's wrong? You're acting like you've lost your soul.”
Looking at Xing Lan, Wang Yu spoke in a heavy northeastern accent. Xing Lan sadly realized that he had forgotten to take his belt during the rush.
"It's fine. What are you guys going to do?”
Looking at Wang Yu, Xing Lan asked in confusion. He had already put down the matter of the belt in his heart because it was not his to begin with.
"We have to go to work soon. During this period of time, the shop will be renovated.”
Ya Bin explained.
"We're leaving."
Wang Yu got into the car as he spoke. Xing Lan waved at them and walked towards the company.
Only Xuan Mo and Peng Liang were in the communication room. Peng Liang was on duty today, and because it was raining, he seemed very free.
"It's quite comfortable."
Walking into the room and looking at Peng Liang who was flipping through a book with his head lowered, Xing Lan teased and greeted him.
"Yo, you're back. Where did you go?”
Peng Liang closed his book and looked outside before looking at Xing Lan. He asked in confusion.
"It's nothing. I'm going to see a friend.”
Xing Lan replied.
"Why didn't you go out? Where's Gao Weiren?”
Looking at Xuan Mo, Xing Lan asked.
"He went to work. He said he was going to do some sales.”
Xuan Mo replied in a bored manner. Xing Lan knew that Gao Wei had been working in sales with a comrade recently. He left early and returned late every day.
"Let's go back and stay."
Xing Lan directly suggested to go back.
"Let's go."
Perhaps because he was too bored, Xuan Mo followed Xing Lan's footsteps.
The rain gradually lessened, leaving behind a thin layer of mud on the streets after the rain. Xing Lan and Xuan Mo had to stop every time they passed by because the mud had already stained their pants. The restaurants on both sides of the street were almost full. People were leisurely drinking and chatting. Xing Lan and Xuan Mo did not stop and directly opened the courtyard door and went upstairs with familiarity.
"Uh, why didn't you go to work?”
As soon as she went up to the attic, Jing Han walked out of the room with a basin of water. She looked at Jing Han and Xing Lan with a trace of doubt because they had to work today.
"I'll go over in a while. It's a last-minute adjustment. Where did you guys go?”
Jing Han said as she went to pour some water. Xing Lan and the other two went straight into the house.
"Your jobs are so good. You have twenty-four breaks a day.”
Walking into the room, Xing Lan turned on his computer and looked at Jing Han.
"There's nothing to do even if you don't go to work.”
Xing Lan had a very aggrieved look on his face as he held the basin in his hand.
"Are you sick?"
Looking at Jing Han's pale face, Xing Lan asked worriedly.
"I just don't feel well."
Jing Han pouted.
Xing Lan got up and touched her forehead. It was very hot.
"You have a fever. Let's go to the hospital.”
Xing Lan urged.
"There's no need. I still have to go to work later.”
Jing Han insisted.
"Why are you still working if you're not feeling well?"
Xing Lan was a little unhappy.
"Yes, if you're sick, you should see a doctor. Delaying isn't a solution.”
Xuan Mo, who had been silent all this while, also spoke up to dissuade him.
"Hurry up and put on some clothes."
Xing Lan urged. Hearing that, Jing Han turned around and returned to her room. The three of them went straight to the clinic. Xing Lan did not know how Jing Han knew that there was a clinic inside because the clinic was very small and hidden.
The young doctor suggested an IV drip, but Jinghan did not want it. Xing Lan still urged the doctor to give her an IV drip because Jinghan's face was indeed very pale. As she watched the liquid slowly drip into the plastic tube, the room became very quiet.
After a while, Xing Lan went outside to light a cigarette.
"I'm just reminding you that love is the most unclear thing. Love can surpass age, society, looks, and many other boundaries that can't be crossed. Two juniors who have a deep hatred for each other can still fall in love, not to mention that you're so inseparable now. If anything happens to her now, I feel that you won't be as indifferent as when you first met her.”
Little Yao's words struck Xing Lan's fragile nerves. With a cigarette in his hand, Xing Lan looked at Jinghan who was sitting quietly through the clinic's glass. There was a television in the clinic. Jinghan was engrossed in watching it and was very quiet. Her face was sickly pale and naturally quiet. At this moment, Xing Lan suddenly felt an unbearable heartache when he saw it.
