"Ruanruan is my mother's daughter who was born in ten months' pregnancy. But she has been living among the people since she was a child and has suffered a lot. My mother felt sorry for Ruanruan. She was so angry that she was cruel to you. It's human nature."
"Ruanruan has been an innocent victim from the beginning, and she has done nothing wrong."
"If you want to blame, just blame the third brother. It was the third brother who was too stupid. He ran to hug you without thinking, causing you to be hurt twice. The third brother will make it up to you. The third brother will definitely find a way to cure it.
Your leg."
When Yu Feifan said this, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes, but his tone was still as gentle as possible, as if he was afraid that he would say something wrong and offend Cheng Cheng.
"Third brother, that's not what I meant." What Yu Chengcheng wanted to say was blocked by Yu Feifan. He suddenly turned red and grabbed the armrests of his wheelchair, trying to defend himself.
"Cheng Cheng, I suddenly have a stomachache. I'm going to go back to the room to rest. I'll call my second brother to push you back to the house later."
Yu Feifan dropped these words and left in a hurry as if running away.
Looking at the third brother's escaping back, Yu Chengcheng's face twisted with anger, and his nails dug into the leather on the armrest, leaving a series of hideous scratches.
When Yu Feifan rushed into the house, he saw his father and his second brother comforting his mother in the living room. Ruanruan was sitting next to his elder brother, eating a yogurt and fruit platter. The scene was quite warm and enjoyable.
He couldn't help but feel sour in his heart again, thinking of the suffocating atmosphere when he and Cheng Cheng were in the yard just now, and he seemed to be incompatible with this family.
Yu Feifan glanced at everyone and said to Yu Qing, "Second brother, Cheng Cheng calls you."
After saying that, he turned back upstairs.
Yu Ruanruan paused while eating the fruit, and when she saw the dejected figure of her third brother, she couldn't help but sigh.
She knew this would happen. That incident was a very serious blow to the third brother. It was not easy to get him out of it as soon as possible.
Biting her lip, Yu Ruanruan swallowed the kiwi fruit in her mouth, turned to Yu Yisheng and said, "Brother, why don't you help the third brother find a psychiatrist in a while."
Yu Yisheng nodded, feeling that Ruan Ruan's words made sense.
"I'll keep an eye on it later."
"Buzz buzz-"
At this time, the mobile phone placed on the coffee table suddenly vibrated. Yu Ruanruan glanced at the screen, and suddenly her ears felt hot, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.
Like a conditioned reflex, she immediately picked up her phone before anyone noticed, stood up and found a secluded corner to answer the call.
However, after getting the phone, she remained silent for a long time.
There was also a long silence on the phone.
After a full three seconds of pause, the man's deep and melodious voice came from the other end, "Ruanruan, did you sleep well last night?"
"It's...it's okay...what's wrong?"
"Where's your hand? Does it hurt?"
Hearing the magnetic voice asking about the injury, Yu Ruanruan subconsciously raised her right hand and glanced at the gauze in her palm.
In fact, when I was sleeping last night, my posture was wrong, which put pressure on the wound, which caused excessive bleeding in the morning and made me a little dizzy, but I am feeling much better now.
After replacing it with clean gauze, it is no longer visible.
She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and told the truth, "It will hurt a little, but it's much better. As long as you don't use force or touch the wound, you won't feel it."
After a pause, she asked again, "What about you? Is your injury... better? Does your head still hurt? When will you go for surgery?"
"It's almost time. Huo Yang's matter is settled, that's almost it."
Huo Xu's voice sounded like he was laughing.
What is he laughing at?
Could it be that she smiled because she cared about him?
She was just being polite.
Yu Ruoruan thought awkwardly in her heart, courtesy should be reciprocated.
"oh."
She replied dryly.
"Are you free tonight?"
"What's wrong?" Yu Ruanruan faced the wall and drew circles on the wall with her index finger, going around and around unconsciously. The ten toes hidden in the cotton socks of her slippers also pulled at the soles of the shoes tightly, picking them out.
Pick it out.
Sure enough, the man paused for a moment and said what she expected, "I want to ask you out for a meal, so you can do it for me. I think you won't refuse a patient who is about to undergo surgery, right?"
Yu Ruanruan: "..."
This guy really is!
She dug her toes into the soles of her shoes again and said awkwardly, "Well... that's okay. What time do you think it is? Lunch or dinner?"
"Lunch, I'll pick you up at Yu's house later."
"Ah? In such a hurry? But I..."
"Dududu..."
The call was immediately hung up.
Yu Ruoruan was dumbfounded. There happened to be a public restroom where she answered the phone. She ran into the restroom and looked in the mirror.
She had a nightmare all night last night, with two big dark circles under her eyes, and her face was pale and haggard. Because she only came home to see her third brother, she dressed very casually when going out.
Although she and Huo Xu had shared a room in Qiang Yuan before, the clothes in Qiang Yuan were carefully prepared for her by Huo Xu, even a pair of pajamas was very exquisite.
But because her mother had made an impromptu decision to take her to Fulin Road yesterday, she casually picked up the maid's clothes and wore them this morning.
Originally she didn't care whether the clothes were nice or mediocre, but when she thought that Huo Xu would come to pick her up for dinner later, Yu Ruanruan instantly became confused.
She hurriedly ran upstairs and rushed into her room to find some decent clothes. As soon as she entered the door and saw the empty room, she remembered that she had moved all her belongings to a rental house eight hundred years ago.
Yu Ruoruan returned to the living room absentmindedly, sat on the sofa, clamped her knees together, and kept shaking her legs.
It soon attracted Yu Yisheng's attention.
"Ruanruan, what's wrong with you?"
"Well...I suddenly remembered that I still have some homework to do, so I'm going home first."
When Cheng Zishan heard this, she immediately stood up and said, "Mom will go back with you too."
"Ah, no need, I want to go back to the rental house and I want to go back to get something."
Yu Yisheng frowned, "How can you go back alone?"
His sister had just been kidnapped, and he was worried about letting her encounter any danger again, "Big brother will go with you."
"No, no need..."
Yu Ruoruan felt that her heart had been tempered hard enough, and Huo Yang was already in jail, and the "Cang Lang" organization was now severely cracked down on.
Is the country peaceful and the people safe?
Is it okay for the righteous light to shine on the earth?
"Brother, I'm going back to do some personal things. It's not convenient for me to take you with me. I have to have some privacy, right?"
When she said this, Yu Ruanruan actually felt disgusted with herself.
What privacy?
In fact, she clearly didn't want her family to know that she was going to see Huo Xu.
Yu Ruanruan didn't know what she was thinking.
Even though I have made up my mind to leave here after the college entrance examination, develop abroad, and leave the protagonist group around Yu Chengcheng, maybe it is because I am about to say goodbye that I am even more reluctant to leave.
The last time they met before they parted, she knew that the rational thing to do was to refuse, but her body was not controlled by reason.
Yu Ruoruan finally took a taxi back to the rental house alone.
At noon.
There were no people in the corridor of the apartment, and the elevators were empty.
After she got out of the elevator, she heard footsteps behind her.
Suddenly, the fear in the dusty heart surfaced, and Yu Ruanruan quickened her pace, walking faster and faster. At the same time, the footsteps behind her became closer and closer.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, her whole body became stiff, and she suddenly ran towards the rental house regardless of the situation.
The people behind her also ran toward her.
Just when Yu Ruanruan was about to collapse, a familiar voice sounded, and Huo Xu finally hugged her almost falling body in time, "Ruanruan, it's me."
