Chapter V 009: We have known each other for a long time
"Welcome home, Ranran!"
The low-alcoholic voice cuts through a beautiful arc, with the fullness of the arc, and penetrates directly into people's hearts!
Shu Ran was completely stunned. She hurriedly raised her little face that had been plunged into his arms. The shadow refracted by the swaying crystal bead curtain was cast on the man's face. Her eyes were fixed on that.
Zhang had a faint smile on his face.
"You-" Shu Ran suddenly felt like she was in a trance. She stretched out her hand and pushed him away. Why did he appear here? Or was she in the wrong place?
The crystal bead curtain was shaken by Shu Ran's panic pushing action and made a crashing sound. Shu Ran stepped back. When she heard a "Be careful!" sounded in her ears, she had no time to stop and leaned back.
She hit the wall. The man who was pushed by her took a big step and stretched out his arms to hug her. His big palm protected the back of her head. A soft hum sounded above Shu Ran's head.
After passing through the slightly cool hair, his palm stabilized the back of her head. Shu Ran's back still hit the wall, but because it was blocked by the back of his hand, she didn't feel much pain, but there was a strong pain from the top of her head.
The muffled groan brought Shu Ran, who was still in shock, back to his senses.
"Hey, you guys -" Grandma Ran opened the sliding door of the kitchen and saw such a scene as soon as she came out. She was speechless for a moment, and then she laughed in surprise, "I wonder who came in, it's this girl from my family who is back!
"
***The smile brought Shu Ran back to her senses completely, confirming that this was indeed her home and that she had not gone to the wrong place.
"Qing Wen, come and take a look - Huh? Ran Ran is back?" Grandpa Ran who came down from upstairs was also stunned for a moment, still holding a box in his hand. Shu Ran hurriedly broke away from Shang Qing Wen's hand.
, dodged away very quickly, and looked at Shang Qingwen. Although his eyes were no longer hostile, they were still full of repulsion.
Shang Qingwen was wearing a light-colored shirt and a thin sweater. Even though the suit pants were dark in color, there was no hint of coldness in his whole person. I don't know if it was because of his texture.
The soft sweater reminded Shu Ran of the word "warmth", or was it because she heard the pounding heartbeat in his chest when she ran into his arms just now? In short, Shu Ran was so picky that she couldn't find a bad word to describe it.
The man standing in front of me now.
Shu Ran made no secret of her repulsive gaze, while Shang Qingwen also stood there and let her see it openly, with a light smile on his face, not shying away from Shu Ran's hostile gaze towards him.
If I had to pick one thing that was incongruous with his outfit, it would be the slippers on his feet.
Shu Ran looked at the pair of cartoon plush slippers on Shang Qingwen's feet. There was a brown big-eared rabbit on the toe of the shoe. The ears were drooped. With the pair of small eyes, he had an adorable look.
Shu Ran didn't expect that the slippers she bought would one day fit on this man's feet. Moreover, although the upper body was casual but dignified, the cute shoes underneath -
Shu Ran was dumbfounded! She couldn't help but burst into laughter and almost laughed out loud. She felt that he was still standing there looking at her, and felt that it was a bit rude to laugh at this time. Shu Ran bit her lip, held back her laughter, and walked downstairs.
The grandpa who came gave me a gentle hug, "Grandpa, I'm back!"
"You girl -" Grandpa Ran walked down the last step with a smile and turned his eyes to Shang Qingwen, "Qingwen, this is my granddaughter Shu Ran, just call her 'Ran Ran'!"
"Grandpa!" Shu Ran raised her head and looked at the smiling grandpa, her pretty brows furrowed slightly, she didn't understand why grandpa called him so "affectionate", Qingwen??
"Yes, grandpa!" Shang Qing smiled gracefully, put the handkerchief he was holding into his trouser pocket, stretched out his hand towards Shu Ran, and said softly: "Of course, we meet again!"
This sentence made Shu Ran's face turn cold. She remembered that night a few days ago, when she just threw down a few hundred dollars and said, 'Mr. Shang, we won't see you again!' And his words, 'We will meet again.
'This sounds a bit ironic!
Shu Ran looked at his stretched out hand and placed it in front of her. He looked at her with a pair of smiling eyes. She let go of her grandfather's hand but did not reach out. Instead, she looked at him, feeling so relaxed and familiar with him.
When she called out "Ranran", she felt like goosebumps were rising all over her body. She looked at her grandma bustling in and out of the kitchen, and hurriedly walked over, "Grandma, let me help you!"
Shu Ran turned a blind eye and walked sideways past Shang Qingwen. Shang Qingwen retracted his hand that was stretched out in the air. Grandpa Ran's eyes moved, and he noticed his granddaughter's hostility towards him, and he was also puzzled. Although his granddaughter
His temper was a little weird, but this was the first time he treated a guest like this. It was inevitable that he was a little rude, but seeing that Shang Qingwen didn't show any embarrassment at all, he felt relieved and said softly: "Qingwen, I have such a bad temper.
Something weird!"
"Grandpa, I know!" Shang Qingwen gently touched her nose when she retracted her hand. Well, it seems that she is still angry about that night!
"Hey, do you know each other?" Grandpa Ran looked at the smile on Shang Qingwen's face and couldn't help but ask, if he didn't know her, this girl wouldn't show such a face to a stranger!
Shang Qingwen followed Grandpa Ran, his tone was very soft and warm, "Yes, Grandpa, Ran Ran and I have known each other for a long time!"
After Shang Qingwen finished speaking, he heard the crisp sound of dishes clinking together in the kitchen. He did not turn around to look. There was a hint of smile in his deep eyes, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up slightly!
"Oh, Ran Ran, hurry up, rinse it with water, you see how careless you are, it's bleeding!" Grandma whispered, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold Shu Ran's finger that was cut by the broken bowl, and put it under the faucet to rinse it with water.
After a moment, Sister Fei hurriedly put down her work and went to get the medical kit. Shu Ran grabbed her, put her injured finger in her mouth, sucked hard, and comforted the two of them, "It's okay.
A little injury!"
"Small injuries are injuries. Of course, I will take you upstairs to take care of it!" Grandma pulled Shu Ran and walked upstairs. Shu Ran was pulled out of the kitchen, but her eyes looked towards the living room, because there was a door across the room.
She couldn't actually see anything on the screen, but her damn ears were keenly listening to the movements on the other side. Just like just now, she heard the words "Ranran and I have known each other for a long time", which shocked her so much that she held it in her hand.
All the dishes inside were smashed to the floor.
Have you known each other for a long time?
Who has known him for a long time?
Separated by a screen, Shu Ran only heard the low conversation coming from the living room when she went upstairs. From the tone, they seemed to be talking about something. Their voices were relatively low, and Shu Ran didn't listen.
When she said something, she was pulled up to the second floor by grandma and entered the living room on the second floor. Grandma found a medical kit to treat her wounds. Shu Ran asked in a low voice in confusion: "Grandma, why is he here?"
Grandma cleaned her wound with potion and checked that the wound was not long, but only cut a little bit of skin. Then she relaxed her brows and looked at Shu Ran, "Ranran, from your tone, do you know each other?
"
She was a little surprised when she saw the two people hugging each other in the dining room just now. Her granddaughter has a cold temper. She heard that girl Xue Jing said that her cold temper scared away all the men around her who admired her. She also looked forward to it.
When will my granddaughter be able to bring a boyfriend back? At first I thought it was a long way off, but today it happened quite unexpectedly!
Shu Ran was about to say 'I don't know', but when she raised her eyes and saw her grandma's inquiring eyes, she knew that her attentive grandma had seen some clues to the actions she just made. Now she was going to say 'I don't know'.
'There is a suspicion of concealment.
"How many times have we met!" Shu Ran replied dully. After hearing this, Grandma Ran smiled, bandaged her granddaughter's injured finger, and stopped asking any more questions. Her granddaughter was always tight-lipped, even if she wanted to ask
She couldn't figure out the reason, but her granddaughter's expression at this time didn't seem to let her even think about it. She stood up with a smile and said softly: "Go down and eat!"
Shu Ran's meal was the most unnatural meal at home. During the meal, Grandpa and Shang Qingwen talked about some scenic spots in various places, and of course their opinions on many national events. Grandpa was a
Shang Qingwen is a talkative person. Shang Qingwen talks very slowly at the dinner table. Shu Ran has seen his attitude when dealing with dinner, but it is different from the last time he had dinner with the Qin family in the hotel. At this time, his body is leaning forward slightly.
, Grandpa’s eyes were very sincere when he spoke. What was in his eyes was not a deliberate attempt to please, but humility from the heart. However, he was extremely natural and easy-going, and could pick up the next topic after one topic ended.
, people don’t feel the embarrassment of stopping the topic. This skill of controlling the atmosphere of the conversation makes Shu Ran have to look at him differently. Maybe there is a kind of person like this who is not born to be silent and can drive this cordial conversation atmosphere to continue.
By the time you finish your meal, you still feel unsatisfied.
The sunshine in the afternoon was nice. After lunch, Shu Ran had to rush back to City D. She had agreed with her grandfather and grandma before she came that she could not stay at home today. She had to rush back to select the questions for the final exam paper.
She never followed the textbooks in her daily lectures, but the content of the exams could not be too biased. Therefore, she had been studying the textbooks for several nights in a row, intending to choose her favorite topics from the sea of questions she found.
"Of course, the highway is still closed in the afternoon, so you have to go back by another way!" Grandma packed up all the things she wanted to bring to her.
"The roads were not closed when I came here. Now the weather is just right and there is no fog. Why are the roads closed?" Shu Ran was stunned for a moment. If she had to say that it was foggy in the morning and the roads were closed, she could still figure it out. The sunshine is very good now!
"You didn't listen carefully when you were eating, right? You were distracted just now!" Grandma laughed out loud, and Shu Ran wondered, did she miss something?
"Half an hour ago, there was a series of rear-end collisions on the highway from Jiahe to City D. A car filled with gasoline exploded, causing the cars behind it to catch fire. Now the road has been closed.
A notice has been posted on the highway, and I'm afraid normal traffic won't be restored in a short time!"
Is there such a thing?
Shu Ran was stunned for a moment while holding the hand warmer. She remembered that if she wanted to go back and drive, she would have to go back on the ordinary road. It would take more than an hour to drive. Thinking about the winding road, Shu Ran felt a little uncomfortable.
Scalp numbness.
"Just in time, Qing Wen also wants to go back. However, you can help grandpa see Qing Wen off!" The people who came out of the study on the second floor walked downstairs slowly. Shang Qingwen walked behind grandpa and did not express any opinions on grandpa's proposal.
, but turned his attention to Shu Ran, who was holding Nuan Baobao.
Shu Ran frowned. She didn't know what her grandfather and Shang Qingwen were talking about in private. She went up to the second floor after dinner. She didn't know what they were talking about that made her grandfather take it so seriously!
Didn't he drive here?
Seemingly seeing the confusion in Shu Ran's eyes, Shang Qingwen smiled lightly and said, "If it's inconvenient for you, I won't be too late to wait for Guan Yang to come back!"
"Guanyang won't be able to do that thing in a short time! You are in a hurry. Don't look at the good weather now. The meteorological station has announced that there will be a university in the evening. In addition, the highway is closed, and that road is not
It’s easy to go, it’s too late and it’s not safe!” Grandpa Ran said, looked at Shu Ran who looked reluctant, and said with a smile: “Of course, can you help Grandpa deliver Qing Wen?”
"Qingwen, Qingwen, grandpa's call is more than affectionate?"
Shu Ran's doubts became more and more serious. Facing her grandfather's request with a smile, could she say no? Could she let Shang Qingwen take the subway back directly? If she hadn't used a car to go to work on weekdays, she would have been in such a situation.
She would directly choose to abandon the car and take the subway back, which is efficient, fast and safe. If she had known better, she should not have bought so many things and she could only drive back today!
"Okay!" Shu Ran said lightly. Although she didn't know what he had in mind, since grandpa had already spoken, she had no reason to refuse.
Shu Ran hugged her family one by one before leaving. Grandpa whispered a belated happy birthday to her in her ear. Shu Ran smiled softly. Grandpa agreed to come back today to make up for her birthday, but
She felt that there was no need. The day of being remembered by others was not what she liked. The so-called celebration would only make her feel uncomfortable. Grandpa obviously understood it, so he didn't mention it at all during the meal today.
When it was time to say goodbye, he gently said "Happy Birthday" in her ear.
Shu Ran was grateful for the two old men's delicate thoughts and waved goodbye to them. When they came out of Yin's Villa, neither of the two people in the car spoke. The long silence made Shu Ran feel a little drowsy while driving.
Feeling, no wonder people say that people who have to drive should not eat too much. She had eaten a little too much at noon. She reached out to press the music button, and the person sitting next to her also stretched out her hand at this time, and they both agreed.
The movement caused the two hands to touch together inadvertently. Shu Ran retracted his hand as fast as lightning, and Shang Qingwen's finger happened to press on the music key. Seeing her retracting her hand very quickly, Shang Qingwen
Wen pressed his fingers lightly, glanced sideways at her, chuckled lightly, said nothing, closed his eyes after retracting his hand, leaned back on the chair leisurely, and closed his eyes.
Keep your eyes open!
Is he like this??
Shu Ran was still wondering about the faint look in his eyes when he glanced at her just now, but when she turned around, she saw that he had closed his eyes and was resting. Jacky Cheung's old song "Kiss Goodbye" sounded in the car, with a light melancholy tune.
The lyrics are also full of sadness. The sound effect in the car is good, the singing surrounds my ears, and the atmosphere created is also a bit sad.
Shu Ran was a little uncomfortable with a man sitting in her car and listening to such songs. It was true that she liked old songs. If there was no such person beside her, she could still concentrate on listening to the songs and driving at the same time. But in this situation,
She felt very uncomfortable!
The expressway from Jiahe to City D has been closed. Many private cars can only take this road. There are many cars in front of them. Within half an hour of driving, there are already situations where they stop for a while.
The reason is that there are too many cars, and there is only one road, and the left lane is the lane used by oncoming traffic. You can neither jump in line nor use the lane dangerously. You can only wait in line at the back.
Shu Ran took a deep breath and felt that she really should abandon the car and take the subway back. She looked at the brake lights flashing behind the car in front of her and couldn't help but said: "If you are in a hurry, just get off the car and take the subway back. That's the fastest!"
She didn't pay attention to whether the person next to her was really asleep, but she just felt that he couldn't fall asleep so quickly!
Sure enough, the person next to me responded, "You want me to walk back two miles in reverse and then take the subway back to City D?"
The voice was very light, but Shu Ran could hear a hint of displeasure in his words.
Well? Is he still in a bad mood?
The anger in Shu Ran's stomach was also ignited by his words at this time. She looked sideways and saw that the other party was looking ahead with slightly squinted eyes. She could not clearly see his facial expression at this time.
But I also know that it shouldn’t be a good time at this time!
Hey, when did she decide so firmly based on her feelings that the other person must look bad?
This should be the feeling that only those who are very familiar with it will have!
Shu Ran was a little annoyed by her own thoughts, and even more upset by Shang Qingwen's words. She slammed on the brakes. The car was originally sliding forward slowly, but her braking force caused the car body to shake violently.
, Shang Qingwen, who was sitting on the side, was shaken, and then he heard an unfavorable voice coming from his ear, "I just suggested that if you are unlucky, you might be blocked on this road tonight. Now,
It’s still too late to leave! If we walk back later, it won’t be a short two miles!”
After Shu Ran finished speaking, she found that she felt an inexplicable sense of relief when she said this sentence. Even her long legs on the brakes swayed back and forth twice in response to her happy voice.
Well, I feel happy just thinking about him getting out of the car and walking two miles!
Shang Qingwen glanced at the woman who had made a small move and raised his eyebrows. Well, do you want to drive him out of the car? You promised him in front of his grandfather just now, but now he wants to drive him before he has even driven one-tenth of the distance.
Throw away?
Shang Qingwen's eyes narrowed, this girl is very courageous!
