There are curls of smoke floating above the two cups of cappuccino, and the soft coffee exudes a rich aroma, which is refreshing. The warm afternoon, the warm sunshine, and the winter make people's hearts feel a kind of lazy comfort.
Meng Yanchen picked up the coffee, put it to his lips, took a sip, and put it back. His eyes sank, and his eyes moved to Xu Anran in front of him. He didn't want to lie to Anran, nor did he want to lie to himself. He understood that they could
We continue to be friends, but we no longer feel the same way we did eight years ago...
Suddenly, the atmosphere was very silent, time seemed to have frozen, and there was a feeling of depression and suffocation.
"Yanchen, if you have anything to say, you don't have to hesitate with me." Xu Anran's eyes flashed slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little bitter, and she was the first to break the silence. After all, she grew up with Meng Yanchen, and before he spoke,
She could already predict what he might say. Break up, right? But, even so, she was still looking forward to it, hoping that Meng Yanchen would not say the word break up easily.
Because once you say it, you can know who holds more weight in Yan Chen's heart, between Chu Qiao and himself?
Fortunately, she was resting today and was not on call duty. The hangover from last night still left some traces on her bright face. Her voice was slightly hoarse, her eyes were red, and her cheeks were still slightly flushed.
"Anran, let's break up..." Meng Yanchen cast his eyes on Xu Anran's eyes, opened his thin lips lightly, and said this.
Xu Anran had been prepared for this sentence for a long time. Even when it came to her ears clearly, she couldn't help but feel shocked. The blood in her left chest suddenly couldn't be transmitted, and she just felt it was difficult to breathe. Break up? She didn't want to break up?
Even if he doesn't love her! She still loves him!
Eight years... She suddenly hated the eight years of pursuing her dream. If, in these eight years, she had not gone to the United States, but stayed with Meng Yanchen, maybe she would have married Meng Yanchen long ago. How could it be wrong?
Qiao? Now, she suddenly felt a sense of regret. That time, that time! She really regretted it! If she had known that this situation would happen, she would not have gone to the United States anyway!
"Yanchen, is there really no room for change? Our more than ten years of friendship can only end with the word breakup?" Xu Anran met Meng Yanchen's gaze, with unwillingness and struggle in his eyes: "It's because of Chu Qiao
, right? It’s because of her..."
After thinking for a while, Meng Yanchen shook his head: "The friendship of more than ten years has not ended. I don't think you and I can regain the feeling of lovers, but we are still good friends. If you
If you need my help, I will help you. An Ran, you are very smart, I believe you can understand what I mean..."
Xu Anran tried her best to squeeze out a smile from the corner of her mouth, with anger and sadness surging in her chest. She would not give up on Meng Yanchen, and she would use her own methods to win him back from Chu Qiao's hands. The smile was faint, to
There is only one word on the lips: "Okay."
Meng Yanchen was startled. He had never thought that Xu Anran would agree so simply and neatly, and his pupils couldn't help but suffocate.
"Yanchen, why, don't you believe that I agree to break up?" Xu Anran chuckled lightly, the bitterness of the smile on his lips faded away, and it took on a different kind of grace.
"No." Meng Yanchen replied duplicity.
Xu Anran picked up the semi-cold cappuccino on the table, brought it to her mouth, and smelled the aroma of the coffee, but did not taste it. She just held it in the palm of her hand and warmed her cold little hands. She
She won't be so stupid that she cries, makes trouble, and hangs herself like the abandoned woman in the TV series. This will only make the originally hesitant man make up his mind to abandon this woman.
Tears, if often shed in front of men, will become worthless...
"Yanchen." Xu Anran suddenly said: "Can you stay with me for a while...just for a while." Her voice was extremely low, and she carefully looked at Meng Yanchen's expression, as confused as a child who had done something wrong.
.
Xu Anran had always been confident and flamboyant. Meng Yanchen had rarely seen her look like this and nodded subconsciously. Even if they were not lovers, they were still good friends.
"Well, thank you." Xu Anran listened with a warm smile on her lips. However, Meng Yanchen didn't notice that there was a hint of cunning and success in her eyes that he didn't notice: "Well, today, I suddenly wanted to eat taro.
Waiter, give a portion of taro shreds."
Waiting for the taro to be shredded.
Xu Anran said intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you still remember that when you were a child, you loved eating shredded taro, do you? If you like to eat it, you just love to eat it! But you still want me to shred taro with you, you clearly know that I
I never eat taro. But you still forced me to eat it, and I cried and refused to eat it. In the end, Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng were alarmed."
"Then why do you like to eat it now?" Meng Yanchen's eyes flickered, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Listening to her words, his thoughts couldn't help but return to the old days. At that time, his parents were both there.
, living under the umbrella of parents, everything seems carefree.
Xu Anran's lips curled up into a smile: "When I went to the United States to study, I missed the past days. I was curious about the taste of the shredded taro you like to eat. So, once, I couldn't help but taste it.
I tasted it, but found that the taste was not as bad as I thought. I seemed to even like the taste..." "The way you cried at that time attracted my parents. Although, I pretended
Calm, but I'm still a little scared." Meng Yanchen took a sip of coffee and couldn't help laughing.
"Really?" Xu Anran's eyes widened with clear black and white eyes, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was beautiful. She began to think carefully in her heart. This is what a smart woman should have! Even if she has no feelings, she doesn't believe it.
There will be no memories and affection between them in his heart.
After a while, a piece of shredded taro was delivered to Xu Anran.
Xu Anran picked up a small fork and stuck it on the taro. She took a deep breath and told herself secretly in her heart, An Ran, An Ran, in order to get Yan Chen's heart, in order to let Yan Chen come back to you, do this.
She is willing to do anything, she can do anything, she must be brave, she must be brave. The smile on her lips remains the same, and there is nothing unusual about it. She dug out a small piece of taro and put it into her mouth, chewing it carefully.
The shredded taro is very sweet, almost cloyingly sweet, mixed with the abundant taro flavor. As she said, it is indeed delicious. While eating the shredded taro, she spoke meaningfully of the good times in the past.
memories.
Xu Anran's eyes would sometimes fall on the clock in the cafe. His eyes would stay for a short time, and soon his eyes would fall on Meng Yanchen again.
It's coming! It's coming! The time is coming soon.
To Xu Anran's surprise, her stomach began to cramp, and inadvertently, a few small red spots oozed out on her neck. Xu Anran quickly hugged her stomach: "It hurts... it hurts... my stomach hurts so much."
Ah, Yanchen, it hurts..." This was not acting, but it really hurt. Xu Anran felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, his breathing seemed to be slow, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Sliding down, it shines brightly.
Xu Anran's face was pale, her lips were a little blue, and big beads of sweat fell on her forehead. She was lying on the table, muttering something in her mouth. She thought her voice was loud, but her voice was like a mosquito.
Call it normal.
Meng Yanchen jumped up from his chair, quickly walked to Xu Anran, supported her body, and asked: "Anran, Anran, what's wrong with you? Is it okay for you? What's going on?" I asked.
After a few words, Xu Anran's reply could not be heard, only her frowning eyebrows and tears in the corners of her eyes could be seen.
"Waiter, are there any hospitals around the cafe?" Meng Yanchen's eyes darkened, and there was deep anxiety and concern in his brows. His big hands circled Xu Anran without hesitation, just to make her feel better.
.Does she have stomach problems? How come he never saw her having stomach pains when they were together before?
"Well, yes, yes! It only takes five minutes to drive there!" The waiter thought for a while and replied.
Five minutes is definitely faster than the time it takes for an ambulance to deliver you! Without thinking, Meng Yanchen picked Xu Anran up from her side, hugged her, and strode out of the cafe. This is a matter of life and death! An Ran is like this
He looked weak and worried.
Holding her in the passenger seat, Meng Yanchen turned on the car navigation and followed the voice prompts. The car started quickly, raising dust all the way. The speed reached 80 yards, and the steering wheel was spinning in his hands. Hurry up,
Hurry up, while driving the Bentley, his eyes would fall on Xu Anran from time to time to see if her condition had worsened?
The pain comes in waves. This is not the first time. Every time, as long as she eats something related to taro, she will be allergic. The symptoms of allergy will increase according to the amount of food eaten. She is a doctor, and she is very
Know your own body. Although eating taro may cause allergies and pain, as long as you take a dose of penicillin, these adverse symptoms can be improved immediately. Therefore, she dared to take this gamble.
Taking advantage of the pain, she raised her head slightly, opened her eyes, and looked at Meng Yanchen who was concentrating on driving. She could only see the side of his face, and An Ran could see anxiety and worry from the side of his face.
It turns out that he still cares about herself. As long as he cares about her, she is willing to eat these sweet potatoes and endure such pain for him... She wants Meng Yanchen to be by her side all the time. The best way is to let herself
Being sick makes him feel distressed...
Doing this was very dishonest and even a bit despicable. However, she had no choice but to keep him. If she wanted to keep him, tears alone would not be enough...
