Under the dim street lights, Shang Qingwen held the woman in his arms with one hand, turned his back to Nie Zhanyun behind him, and walked away.
Shu Ran's steps in his arms were a little messy, and his scattered steps were a little staggering. She was almost completely embraced by him. The breath coming out of her forehead was like a strong tobacco smell, and the hot breath she exhaled created a heat wave.
The alternating hot and cold breath that filled her forehead instantly made her feel a little dazed. Her steps were completely controlled by him. When she raised her face, she realized that she had gone a long way.
Shang Qingwen's sudden appearance made Shu Ran feel confused. When she was unclear about her involvement with Nie Zhanyun, his appearance undoubtedly relieved her. At this time, pressing against his chest, Shu Ran's heart tightened.
The tightened nerves had stretched into a straight line. She wanted to stop, but her legs were driven by his pace under his strong embrace.
She couldn't stop, her waist was tightened by him, and her forehead hit his chest again and again with the inertia of her body. For a moment, her mind was dizzy again from the swaying.
stand up.
"Stop, stop!" Her breathing was a little disordered, and cold air was poured into her throat. There seemed to be a hint of request in her low and hoarse voice. When she heard the sound of firecrackers exploding in her ears, she couldn't help but
She let out a low cry and reached out to cover her ears, but her ears felt warm. She reached out her hand and touched the back of his stretched out hand. Her ears were buzzing, and her generous palms had already covered her ears.
.
There was a buzzing in Shu Ran's head. She buried her head deeply into his chest, closed her eyes tightly, and stopped. Her attention at this time was completely focused on the sound of the firecrackers, so she covered her ears.
With her eyes closed, she didn't know how long the sound of firecrackers lasted, but when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the solid-color wool scarf in front of her. The warm and soft texture felt soft against the skin of her face.
, the familiar smell on the scarf made her brain shake. She raised her face and pushed the person around her away. Her body couldn't help but step back. She was gently embraced by the hand around her waist, and there was a sound in her ears.
A low voice said, "Be careful!"
When Shu Ran turned her head sideways, she was blinded by the shining headlights of a car not far away. Shang Qingwen, who was beside her, had already stretched out his hand to grab her back. The car coming over made a loud noise.
With a low cry, Shu Ran slipped past Shu Ran.
There are many vehicles in the community, but because it is a resettlement villa area, there are no gate posts here, and roads extending in all directions can be driven out, so when walking in the community, special attention should be paid to the vehicles of these households.
Shu Ran was startled when she heard a burst of chatter and laughter not far away. She turned to look at the other side of the road. People were walking in groups under the street lights, and there were children running and playing. Children under the street lights
Some of them held a small red lantern in their hands, of course the kind without candles inside, and followed the adults laughing.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, some people came out to do some activities despite the severe cold. Neighbors chatted with each other and children played with each other for a while. At this time, the sharp-eyed children saw Shu Ran standing under the street lamp. They were first surprised and then...
Smiling and shouting, "Sister Ranran!"
Shu Ran's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly took a step back, a little further away from Shang Qingwen. Unfortunately, her movements were still a little slower. The children who were trotting over stood in front of them with great interest and cheered. One wearing a
The little girl in the red velvet hat, whose little face was red from the cold, looked at Shu Ran cutely, and then at the tall man standing next to Shu Ran. When she looked up, she let out a giggle and spread out towards the two of them.
Little hands!
Under the guidance of this child, the children who gathered around them all spread out their hands in unison. Shu Ran felt anxious. She had forgotten the customs here. When the children stretch out their little hands towards you, you have to disperse.
She gave some candies to the children, but she was unprepared just now and didn't bring anything with her.
Shu Ran dug her hands into the down jacket with some embarrassment, and her face was even more embarrassed. Looking at the open palms, Shu Ran felt like crying. She didn't expect to be surrounded by children at this time!
Especially when facing those cute, passionate and clear eyes, Shu Ran couldn't help but blame herself in her heart. She should have stuffed some in her bag just now.
She was about to squat down and explain to the children, although she didn't think she should, because it was an unwritten custom here for children to reach out and ask for small candies during the New Year, and every adult here would leave the door open during the New Year.
Candies and pastries were prepared at home early, waiting for the children to ask for them. Every little kid who stretched out his hand would get the candy he wanted. This was also the best time in their childhood.
But she had to disappoint them. It was a bit far away from home. She couldn't run back and get candies now. She felt a little regretful. When she was a child, she would get a lot of candies during the Chinese New Year when she lived here.
Candy is the warmest and beautiful memory in her childhood, but today -
"Come on, everyone has something!" When Shu Ran squatted down, the man next to him said softly with a warm smile. A touch of colorful colors passed through Shu Ran's eyes and placed lightly on the little girl's fair and tender breasts.
In the palm of the hand, the child's palm was so small that he couldn't hold the candy in his hand even with his five fingers. He had to stretch out his two hands to hold it, lowered his head and started to look for the little pocket on his body. Shu Ran couldn't help but feel so cute and playful.
He chuckled, quickly reached out to help open the small bag on her clothes, and helped her stuff the candies inside.
Shu Ran didn't expect that he would be carrying candies! When she watched Shang Qingwen take out a lot of candies from her coat pocket, she almost frowned. Those colorful candies were wrapped in his bag.
No matter how I take it out, this posture feels a bit inconsistent. It feels like a tall man but a weakling.
Shang Qingwen, who was just sitting in the dumplings, felt Shu Ran's strange gaze. When he turned to look at her, he saw something strange in her eyes and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. What was this girl thinking about?
Shu Ran took one look at him and felt goosebumps in her heart. At this time, the child's small bag was already full. She quickly lowered her head and zipped the bag for her.
"Thank you Sister Ran Ran!" The little girl is from the same community. When Shu Ran went abroad three years ago, she was just a little older. Now she can run and jump. At this time, she has a rosy little face and is full of happiness.
Smiling, he looked up at the man who was distributing candy, smiled even more happily, and said childishly, "Sister Ranran, was this uncle hugging you just now?"
Shu Ran's face froze while she was squatting on the ground, and her heart skipped a beat. Facing the little girl's bright eyes like clear water, she couldn't find the right words to describe them for a moment. If she said no, she would be lying to her child.
, say yes - that!!!
Shang Qingwen, who was beside him, laughed soothingly amidst the children's laughter. He seemed to have heard the little girl's question. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Shu Ran. At this time, Shu Ran also raised her face, and the two of them looked at each other.
When Shu Ran came into contact, Shu Ran quickly turned her face away. She was about to say that it was because she almost fell due to slippery feet and was supported by him, but Shang Qingwen squatted down and reached out to straighten the hat on the little girl's head.
, smiled and said: "Of course sister is afraid of firecrackers and needs uncle to help her cover her ears!"
His movements were gentle, as if he were caring for the little angel in his palm, and the smile on his face made Shu Ran's expression freeze.
"Wow, uncle, you are doing well!" The child's childish voice rang out, and the children who got the candy gathered around the two of them happily and curiously, especially after hearing what he said.
All eyes sparkled, and their gazes towards Shang Qingwen became adoring and intimate.
Children are so innocent and pure that a piece of candy can completely buy them off.
"Sister Ranran is also afraid of firecrackers, isn't she? I'm so scared too! But sister Ranran has her uncle to cover her ears, and I have my father to cover my ears, so we won't be afraid of firecrackers!" A child said softly, as if he had solved a problem.
As excited as a difficult problem, someone in the community was setting off firecrackers at this time. When the bang-bang-bang sound was heard, the child hurriedly said, "Sister Ranran, let uncle cover your ears!"
Shu Ran felt for a moment that she couldn't laugh or cry!
However, the man next to her actually reached out and covered her two ears. When his warm palms covered her two cold ears, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were fixed on her face.
, after a while he looked away and looked at the little girl who was also squatting in front of him, and said with a smile: "Look, you won't be afraid this way, right?"
"Oh, oh--" Some children started to applaud. Shu Ran's face turned red at his sudden move. She quickly turned her face away and saw someone walking over there approaching.
"Of course, how about taking a walk with your boyfriend? Where are your grandpa and grandma?"
"Oh, it's Ranran!"
People walking by couldn't help but glance at the people around Shu Ran. They were stunned at first, and then smiled warmly. These residents used to live in the same village. After the integration and demolition, they still maintained the neighborly relationship.
They have a harmonious relationship, and Shu Ran gets along very well with the people in the community because of her grandfather and ***. On weekdays, Shu Ran is not at home, and her grandfather and grandma also ask the uncles and uncles in the community to take care of them.
"Uncle Wang! My grandma and grandpa are both at home!" Shu Ran stood up, her face was a little strangely flushed, her expression was a little unnatural, and she felt a little unprepared. I am afraid that the scene of the two embracing each other just now has been forgotten by them.
She saw it, because all the children had seen it just now, especially when she heard someone say, "Walking with her boyfriend!", her heart skipped a beat, knowing that they must have misunderstood!
Shu Ran felt helpless and helpless.
"This is not your first time, young man. I saw you last time. You were busy taking care of things in the hospital. However, what is your boyfriend's name? Let me introduce him to you!" Aunt Wang also said
After walking over, along with several neighbors, everyone looked at the man next to Shu Ran.
Shu Ran's eyes jumped, and the expression on his face was strange at this time. He opened his mouth but no sound came out. At this time, Shang Qing, who was standing next to Shu Ran, smiled softly, "Uncle, aunt, I am
Shang Qingwen!"
After Shang Qingwen introduced himself generously, when Shu Ran heard everyone around him saying "Xiao Shang", his brows were already furrowed and he turned to glare at the man who was taking out his coat and bag. At this time, he was still
A child came over and asked for candies. He took out the only two candies left in his bag, but left one. He didn't know what he whispered in the child's ear. The child raised his face to Shu Ran.
Smiled.
Shu Ran felt that no matter how much she spoke at this time, everyone would think she was trying to hide something, so she simply shut her mouth. As a result, her silence became the default in everyone's eyes. Everyone looked at Shang Qingwen.
The eyes became more meaningful.
At this time, the little girl standing next to Shu Ran affectionately reached out and hugged Shu Ran's long legs, and said obediently: "Grandma, this handsome uncle just hugged sister Ranran!"
The smile on Shu Ran's face, who had been silent all this time, became a little stiff, and her face felt hot for a while. Even the people standing around couldn't help being amused by the child's childish voice. Not to mention the expression on Shu Ran's face.
Embarrassed, she wanted to run away, but Shang Qingwen, who was known as the 'handsome uncle', was surrounded by several children, and was amused by what he said from time to time. She stared at the man who was able to deal with it easily,
Seeing him playing with the little guys so familiarly, she couldn't help but grind her teeth. Watching the adults go away, she took a step and walked back, without looking at the people behind her.
Shang Qingwen, who was playing with the children, kept walking faster and faster, wishing he could run faster with a whoosh.
Damn it, within one night, the topic of Ranran's boyfriend will definitely be spread to everyone in the community. In addition, the last time grandma was hospitalized, many people saw Shang Qingwen, and at this time, everyone
On New Year's Eve, how could the neighbors not think about a man who would appear so grandly at her door? Shu Ran felt crazy in her heart, and her steps became faster and more urgent.
"Of course, don't walk so fast!" Shang Qingwen's voice floated softly from behind, and Shu Ran reached out to cover her ears like a reflex. She didn't want to see him or hear his voice anymore.
Shang Qingwen, who was following her, watched her move forward quickly, her pace still slow. Shu Ran almost started running. She let go of her hand and heard a burst of laughter from behind. She was stunned for a moment, stopped and turned around.
Shang Qingwen stopped and greeted the people walking by. During the greeting, the neighbor glanced at Shu Ran and smiled at Shu Ran. When he turned around, he didn't know what he was talking about.
What, Shu Ran's scalp was numb because of that smile. What on earth was he thinking about today?
Shu Ran turned around and strode back, and walked to Shang Qingwen's side in one breath. In the surprised eyes of the neighbor's uncle, he grabbed Shang Qingwen's hand and dragged him away. As he walked, he walked towards the neighbor's uncle.
He smiled dryly and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, we have something urgent to do. Let's talk another day!"
She dragged her with all her strength, but Shang Qingwen was tall and heavy. His body moved when she pulled him like this, but his steps were slower. Shu Ran dragged her harder, holding on to his hand for dear life.
Dila, after taking several steps, heard a low laughter behind him, "Of course, do we have anything urgent to do?"
As soon as Shu Ran heard his teasing voice, she was about to throw away his hand, but he quickly held it back with his backhand. As soon as she exerted her arm, Shu Ran who was running forward was caught by him.
She was shocked by his move. She turned around and looked into his eyes. When she moved away, she said coldly: "We need to have a good talk!"
Shu Ran said that she wanted to break away from his hand. Shang Qingwen looked at her calmly and stretched out his hand to pull her to another road. Shu Ran was pulled by him and couldn't break free, and was afraid that her voice would be too loud.
He caught the attention of other people in the community, so he had to lower his voice and say in annoyance, "What are you doing? Let go!"
"Of course, don't you want to talk? Let's talk now!" Shang Qingwen said, pulling her towards another intersection. The lights of the commercial vehicle parked there flashed, and he walked closer and pulled her.
Opening the car door, he looked at Shu Ran standing at the door of the car, "Should we go in and talk, or should we just talk here?"
Shu Ran didn't expect that he would agree to talk to her so easily today. While hesitating, she heard the sound of someone talking, the sound of firecrackers, and the people who had had the New Year's Eve dinner came out to do some activities. She saw someone walking towards the car.
Come over, she bent down and got into the car without thinking, but after sitting in, she whispered, "You sit in the front!"
But Shu Ran spoke slowly, and Shang Qingwen had already followed her into the car, sat directly in the back seat of the car, and sat next to her.
When his huge figure sat down, Shu Ran felt that the seats next to her were tilted to that side. She was so shocked that she ran away from him, staying far away from him. Fortunately, there was a lot of space in the car.
She leaned against the car door and looked at the man sitting there warily. Seeing the man's calm facial expression in the dark, she couldn't help but feel frightened. Had she found the wrong place to negotiate?
When she thought of the vigorous car/earthquake scenes in many romance novels, she couldn't help but frown. She couldn't help but place her hand on her abdomen and look to the side with a wary face.
The space inside the car was not small, and the air was filled with the refreshing scent that only belonged to him, with a faint smell of tobacco mixed with a little bit of wine.
Did he drink?
Shu Ran felt nervous and looked at the front of the car again. There was no sign of Guan Yang in the driver's seat. Did he drive here by himself after drinking?
There is strict investigation during the Chinese New Year, so he is not afraid of being caught?
Shu Ran frowned slightly and looked away to calm down as much as possible. He was sorting out the words he wanted to negotiate in his mind when his soft voice rang in his ears, "Does your hand still hurt?"
Shu Ran was startled, and couldn't help but squeeze her wrist. When she was pulling with Nie Zhanyun just now, her hand was crushed by him so hard that it was so painful that she turned pale, but now she is numb.
She moved her hand to one side and was held by his stretched out hand. She struggled, but he didn't let go. His hand was pulled over and opened his sleeve.
"Shang Qingwen!" Once again, their skin touched each other, and she wanted to withdraw her hand in fear. The fear of him spread again. The fear brought about fierce resistance. She couldn't help but couldn't break free.
He yelled and his eyes instantly turned red.
"Don't move, let me see your hands!" Shang Qingwen held her wrist with one hand and stretched out the other hand. When he lifted up his sleeves, he also turned on the lights in the car.
As soon as the light came on, he lowered his head and looked at the red wrist, his eyes fixed on the two red handprints. He felt her hands trembling. He raised his eyes to meet her face, and when his eyes moved slightly
The voice became a little hoarse.
"Does it still hurt?"
Shu Ran's eyes made Shu Ran's heart stop beating. She quickly retracted her hand, leaned against the car door, pulled down her sleeves to cover her wrists, and faced the cold outside the car window.
Ran said, "Let's talk! How can you agree to divorce me?"
The heating in the car was warm, but after Shu Ran said these words, the warm space in the car suddenly felt a little cold. She held her hands together tightly and waited for his answer with bated breath, her eyes even more intense.
She looked at his face motionlessly, for fear of missing any slight expression on his face.
Shang Qingwen's face changed slightly, and then he smiled softly, as if he had expected it, and said softly: "Of course, can you please stop mentioning those two words to me every time we meet and change the subject?
?”
"I don't think I have anything else to talk about with you!" If all those touches and gratitude were still there before, then she wouldn't have such a decisive attitude when she said this now. It's a pity.
, the gratitude and touch he brought to her were completely lost in those two injuries.
Shang Qingwen paused, and when he looked at her sideways, his eyes became dark, "Of course, everyone's attitude towards marriage is different!"
"The way you treat me has made me unable to feel your so-called attitude towards marriage!" Shu Ran said tit for tat, "Or maybe it was a mistake from the beginning!"
After Shu Ran finished speaking, she couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart. She was shocked by her psychological changes at this time, and her heart was in chaos for a moment. But fortunately, she turned her face sideways and looked out of the car window. The shadow on the car window, she
The corners of his lips were trembling slightly.
There was a heavy breathing next to her, and Shu Ran's heart was tightened. The car door was opened automatically at this moment. Shu Ran's face was startled. She didn't understand what he meant, but she heard him whisper: "Give me some time."
Think about it and I will give you an answer!"
Shu Ran, who had already taken one leg out, was slightly startled. When she quickly got out of the car, she looked at the man sitting in the car. His performance today surprised her. Thinking about what she was thinking when she got in the car just now, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Suspected of being a villain and judging a gentleman, she took a step back and said, "Okay, I'll wait! But please don't make me wait too long!"
After Shu Ran finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave when Shang Qingwen's familiar voice sounded behind her.
It drifted slightly coolly in the night breeze.
"Of course, if I don't agree, what will you do?"
Shu Ran stopped, and when she turned around, she tightened her grip on her sleeves!
