There was originally a smell of gunpowder in the ward, but after Zheng's mother and Xu Ran appeared, the smell of gunpowder was immediately dispersed.
Everyone had different expressions, especially when Zheng Xia saw her mother pulling Xu Ran intimately, she had a bad suspicion.
Although Zheng's mother complains a lot at home, she often speaks mercilessly and scolds Zheng Cheng and Zheng Xia to pieces.
But Mother Zheng is not stupid. Outside, she still understands that she needs to save face for her husband and daughter, so she behaves like a virtuous woman outside, making people feel generous and dignified.
Zheng Cheng looked at his wife who was the first to react and asked: "Honey, why are you holding Xiao Xu?"
"Do you still remember, I told you some time ago that I met a young man who I particularly liked in the supermarket, and I wanted to get him to go on a blind date with my daughter, but I was so absorbed in the conversation that I forgot to contact Xiao Xu.
That's the way..."
"I remember this." Zheng Cheng leaned back slightly, "Don't you want Xiao Xu and..." After saying this, he couldn't help but glance at Zheng Xia who was on the hospital bed.
Zheng Xia's face turned dark and she remained silent.
Xu Ran smiled bitterly and quickly explained: "Auntie, can we talk about this later? I'm still young, and it's too early to get married..."
"I'm not asking you to marry Zheng Xia. You can be friends first..." Zheng's mother suddenly realized, "No, you are already friends! Xiao Xu, let me tell you, my aunt is very optimistic about you, my daughter."
She is self-reliant and arrogant. There are not many people who can be friends with her. If you can become her friend, it means that my daughter must have a good impression of you! Since we are already friends, it is better to spend some time with her first.
That’s okay.”
"Ah this..."
Han Yike raised his head and looked at Zheng Xia's indifferent profile, feeling very surprised in his heart.
Damn it, I consider you a friend, but you actually want to backstab me and poach me?
Zheng Cheng has seen a lot of the world, and he really wanted to think about it so that his expression didn't change color.
Captain Zhang and the director were already standing nearby, their jaws almost dropped.
"Mom, don't mess around..."
Zheng Xia spoke up. She had never been harsh in her tone when dealing with her mother.
She dared to talk back to Zheng Cheng, but she didn't dare to talk back to her mother. It should be said that Zheng Cheng didn't dare to talk back to his wife...
"What are you talking about? Didn't you say it before? Let me ask you clearly."
Zheng Xia rubbed her eyebrows: "I said it, but I was perfunctory...and I didn't expect that the person you were talking about was Xu Ran."
"What's wrong with Xiao Xu? Judging from your tone, you have quite a big opinion against Xiao Xu! You know, he saved you."
"How dare I..."
Xu Ran had rarely seen Zheng Xia in such a posture. Zheng Xia was so stubborn and decisive, even he had to pressure her with kindness to make her compromise a little bit.
Sure enough, one thing comes after another, Zheng's mother doesn't even have to do anything, just like Tang Monk reciting a mantra, Zheng Xia, the Monkey King, will get down on the ground and beg for mercy.
"Auntie, listen to me, this matter really can't be rushed." Xu Ran smiled bitterly, and finally broke away from Zheng's mother's hand. He sighed slightly: "How can I be worthy of such an outstanding person as Sister Xia..."
In fact, Xu Ran also blamed himself. At that time in the supermarket, he didn't even know that the woman was Zheng Xia's mother, otherwise he would not have followed Zheng's mother in chatting like this.
At that time, he was only focused on dealing with Zheng's mother and didn't pay much attention to the topic of conversation at that time.
Zheng's mother wanted to say something more, but Zheng Cheng interrupted directly: "Honey, don't forget what you came for today, and don't scare Xiao Xu."
After Zheng Cheng reminded her, Zheng's mother realized that she was confused and felt a little embarrassed. She quickly picked up the toilet box and put it on the bed cabinet.
But she found that there was food on the horizontal board of Zheng Xia's hospital bed. She asked doubtfully: "Who bought this?"
Zheng Xia didn't reply. Xu Ran explained with a smile: "Auntie, I didn't say I came to the hospital to visit my friend today. In fact, I came to the hospital to visit Sister Xia. I also brought these meals. I hope I didn't cause any trouble to you."
"Hey, why would Auntie dislike you? You're so kind, polite and courageous." Mother Zheng didn't say much. She just put the food away without opening it. The more she looked at Xu Ran, the more she liked it.
Xu Ran found that he couldn't stand the favorable looks from middle-aged people towards him. At this time, he especially missed Liang Tianbo's eyes that looked down on him...
The appearance of Zheng's mother and Xu Ran, coupled with such an interruption, made it difficult for Zheng Cheng to educate Zheng Xia, and Zheng Xia also kept a dark face and remained silent.
Several people gathered around Zheng Xia's hospital bed and chatted without a word, but under the deliberate guidance of Zheng's mother, the conversation basically revolved around Xu Ran and Zheng Xia.
Xu Ran didn't dare to be perfunctory and dealt with it seriously.
In fact, his plan today is very simple. He just wants to bring Han Yike over to visit Zheng Xia. When he is done, he and Han Yike will go for a walk outside and go shopping.
I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and looking at Han Yike's cute face that also has a little temper, I'm afraid he has no intention of going shopping anymore.
Zheng Cheng looked at Xu Ran from time to time, and the pressure in his eyes was a bit more scrutinizing than that of Liang Tianbo. If Xu Ran hadn't been able to withstand stress internally, he might not be able to bear the current situation.
During this period, Xu Ran glanced at Zheng Xia wildly, signaling her to eat quickly, so that he could find a reason to retreat after eating.
Otherwise, what if you said earlier that Zheng Xia must finish the meal, and then just run away with the unfinished meal?
Zheng Xia seemed to understand what Xu Ran was looking at, and just sighed lightly and continued to eat the food on the horizontal board.
After working hard for half an hour, the pressure to deal with Zheng's mother was extremely high. Seeing that Zheng Xia finally finished the meal, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up to pack the toilet box.
After cleaning the toilet box, Xu Ran quickly pulled Han Yike away. Before leaving, he was forced to exchange mobile phone numbers with Zheng's mother... Looking at Zheng's mother's smile, he was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble ahead.
After Xu Ran and Han Yike left, the director and Captain Zhang also made space for the family, just like before, so that the three of them could chat about common things.
Zheng Cheng still kept a straight face and asked seriously: "Have you ever understood that Xiao Xu?"
Zheng Xia's brows furrowed slightly, and she touched her forehead again: "After knowing...his details, I still understand."
"Have you investigated him?"
"Xu Ran is a bit special. The reason why I met him was by chance. I took him back to the district office to register."
Mother Zheng covered her mouth and exclaimed: "What happened to that child Xiao Xu?"
"It's nothing serious...his file is very clean."
Zheng Cheng nodded, coughed solemnly and asked, "What do you think of Xiao Xu's personality?"
Zheng Xia slowly lowered his head: "I don't have that idea about him."
Mother Zheng: "You can take your time with this."
Zheng Xia herself couldn't figure it out. Her acquaintance with Xu Ran was really by chance, but now she discovered that Xu Ran and her family had had too many accidents. Many things had happened since they met, and there were accidents every time.
encounter.
The more times it happened by chance, the more a hint of resistance arose in Zheng Xia's heart.
It's not that she hates Xu Ran, she just feels that there is no possibility for her and Xu Ran. Although she knows that the two giant Buddhas at home definitely don't care about Xu Ran's life experience, what does Xu Ran think?
She only knew that there shouldn't be too many good-looking girls around Xu Ran. Just last night when she met Su Xiaolu in the restaurant, the looks of others were much better than hers.
I am a very boring woman, no one likes to be around me.
Especially the woman in the restaurant last night was Su Xiaolu's mother, and Xu Ran had already met Su Xiaolu's mother in private.
It was by chance that Xu Ran met his parents, but what about Xu Ran and Su Xiaolu's mother? He had already met Su Xiaolu's mother. Who knows if something had happened between them.
Even if Xu Ran said that she already has a girlfriend, Zheng Xia wouldn't be surprised.
Now looking at the tone and gestures of his parents in front of him, they are somewhat satisfied with Xu Ran, and they also intend to bring Xu Ran and himself together.
But how can things like love be settled like this?
Zheng Cheng knew his daughter well, and when he saw her thinking, he couldn't help but ask: "Do you have any other opinions about Xiao Xu?"
Zheng Xia hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "Putting aside the family aspect, Xu Ran's own conditions are not too bad."
Upon hearing this, Zheng's mother quickly smiled and nodded, but then she became unhappy after Zheng Xia's words.
"But the girls around Xu Ran are not good. Those girls are all beautiful and outstanding. Maybe Xu Ran already has someone he likes, so mom, please don't cause any trouble to Xu Ran."
"What's wrong? Is my daughter terrible? It's like you are inferior to other girls!"
Zheng Xia lifted her bangs. She had wheat-colored skin and a clear face. She looked heroic: "Don't I understand what your daughter is like? And not to mention that Xu Ran doesn't have any thoughts about me at all."
The latter sentence is actually true.
From the moment she and Xu Ran met, Xu Ran's attitude towards her, apart from her concern as a friend, had no inclination towards love at all.
Adults and children are different. When adults are together, they will know what the other person wants as long as they reveal their intentions a little bit.
If Xu Ran wanted to be with him, then Xu Ran would definitely reveal this meaning to let Zheng Xia know, and also to test.
But Xu Ran didn't. The person came to talk to her, and until now, she could barely be considered a friend.
Not to mention... becoming friends with Xu Ran today was out of Zheng Xia's selfish motives.
She knew that Xu Ran was very strong, but her estimate was wrong. She now knew that Xu Ran's strength was far from what he showed at the amusement park last time.
A thousand-pound punch, Xu Ran can really do it... especially with ease.
This can be seen from his fight with the black man last night, when Zheng Xia was clearly driving against the wall.
Xu Ran doesn't have too many skills in fighting. He fights head-on with force and fights back with the strength of a black man.
Such a huge black man was beaten like a child in front of Xu Ran.
If the black man and Xu Ran were evenly matched, maybe Zheng Xia wouldn't take it so seriously... But last night, the black man was beaten to the point where he had no power to fight back.
This is crushing!
This is a crushing force, which also shows that... Xu Ran's power is more than that.
Thinking of Xiao Chen's suggestion while patrolling the streets last night, and the debt she owed to Xu Ran, under the dual inner pressure, Zheng Xia compromised and became friends with Xu Ran.
Part of it was out of kindness, and part of it was... wanting to keep a close eye on Xu Ran in private.
She knew that Xu Ran's file was clean, and even after the investigation, many tutors at Nanda praised Xu Ran highly. But what if something happened to Xu Ran and she accidentally got involved?
With his strength, if he goes astray, it will be a danger to society...
She prevented this from happening in time. In other words, she wanted to become friends with Xu Ran, and then contact her privately to slowly guide and confirm Xu Ran's good condition.
But she would not say these words to her family, because it was selfish... In her heart, she could still think about it. If she said it out, she would feel sorry for Xu Ran's words about being a friend.
Zheng Cheng looked at his daughter and sat upright: "Don't feel bad about yourself."
"I don't think I'm bad, but I know that compared with other girls, I'm not very attractive."
Mother Zheng frowned and said unhappy: "Who said that? My daughter is not bad looking, although she has a bad temper like your father and loves to show off..." As she said this, Mother Zheng suddenly didn't understand her daughter.
Where is the real advantage.
To the society and the country, it seems that no matter what the outside, my daughter is a treasure on the inside.
But when it comes to love between men and women, it seems that my daughter's advantage is vulnerable...
"I'll say it again, Xu Ran doesn't like herself, so don't talk about it anymore."
Zheng Cheng said solemnly: "Then you can chase me."
Zheng Xia was stunned: "What?"
...
Xu Ran held Han Yike's little hand and walked on the way home.
Breeze chased her, and the little girl was obviously unhappy. Seeing this, Xu Ran had no choice but to explain.
"Stop pouting all the time."
"What, do you dislike me now? Do you think I'm annoying?"
Xu Ran clicked his tongue: "How come your tone and attitude are the same as Yiyi's?"
"Then do you dislike me?"
"How could that be? I just think your pouting is too cute. You can't show such a cute expression outside casually."
Han Yike looked surprised: "You... really think I'm cute?"
"Has anyone ever said you're not cute?"
Han Yike touched his face after hearing this: "That's true."
Xu Ran almost laughed out loud in her heart, the little girl was so deceptive.
"Then don't be unhappy. Come on, I'll take you to other places. Is there any place you want to visit?"
"Ducheng..." Han Yike thought of something, "Speaking of Xu Naitao, what do you think of Sister Zheng?"
"Isn't your sister Zheng a very nice person? Why would she take care of you like this?"
"That's what I said...but I think Sister Zheng's parents seem to be very satisfied with you."
"So what if you are satisfied? Love is a matter of uncertainty. Don't be like Yiyi. If you have a good feeling, you must be together. Then I have rejected the confessions of countless girls. Then shouldn't I?
Did you apologize on the spot?"
When she is with Han Yike, Xu Ran is not as formal as other girls and speaks easily and comfortably.
Han Yike suddenly nodded, but still asked Xu Ran seriously.
"Well, Xu Ni, who is cuter, am I, or Sister Zheng, who is cuter?"
