Outside the convenience store, Ruan Xingwan was almost lying on the car window, wondering: "What are they doing here?"
Zhou Cishen glanced along her line of sight and pulled her back: "Just wait."
Ruan Xingwan felt strange and asked suspiciously: "Do you know something?"
Zhou Cishen raised his brows without any trace of trace.
really.
Ruan Xingwan adjusted his sitting position and leaned a little closer to him: "Did Xiaochen tell you what happened?"
Zhou Cishen tapped his fingers on the steering wheel: "No."
Before Ruan Xingwan could continue to ask, he added: "I'm just curious about what happened that night."
"What night?"
Zhou Ci stared at her deeply and said slowly: "The night you pulled my sleeve."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She gradually realized something.
After a long while, Ruan Xingwan said: "In other words, Xiao Chen met Xu Wan that night?"
Zhou Cishen said: "Maybe."
Ruan Xingwan looked at the convenience store again, but due to the distance, he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, and could only see blurry figures.
She spoke slowly: "Xiaochen must have been looking for me for a long time that night."
Ruan Xingwan gently closed her eyes. This happened a long, long time ago, so long ago that she almost forgot.
That was probably the darkest and most powerless night in her life.
She didn't even know when it would dawn.
She didn't know what was waiting for her.
But luckily among the misfortunes, she met Zhou Cishen at dusk, which allowed her life to continue.
But she ignored how desperate and angry Xiao Chen felt when she saw her being taken away by that group of people that night.
It was also this night that both she and Xiao Chen probably saw hope again.
They are people living in desperate situations. Even if they see a glimmer of light, they will try their best to grab it.
At this time, Zhou Cishen held her hand: "The question that is bothering you now should already have an answer."
He was referring to why Xiao Chen fell in love with Xu Wan.
Ruan Xingwan slowly opened his eyes and smiled silently: "I really didn't expect that Xiao Chen would meet Xu Wan so early, nor did I expect that it would be under such circumstances..."
"Actually, I'm also thinking about a question."
"What?"
"If nothing had happened to the Lin family back then, we would probably have gotten engaged."
Ruan Xingwan: "?"
Zhou Cishen looked at her sideways: "Lin Zhiyi has always wanted to marry me."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She moved and tried to pull her hand back, but failed.
"Come on, that's her, maybe I don't have this idea."
Zhou Cishen's lips curled up: "In other words, no matter what, we will get to know each other, even if you don't expect it."
Ruan Xingwan was silent for a while: "You no longer talk about earthy love words, but now you talk about this kind of philosophy of life."
"If you want to hear it, I can tell it too."
Ruan Xingwan immediately raised his hand to interrupt: "No."
…
At the same time, in the convenience store.
When Xu Wan turned around, her eyes were filled with tears.
Ruan Chen stood beside her, with a slender and tall figure.
Xu Wan had never paid attention to his height like she did now. She even swallowed: "You are actually... already so much taller than me."
At that time, he had just reached her shoulders.
Ruan Chen knew that she had already remembered it.
He took the two bottles of hot milk in his hand, paid the bill, and led her out: "It's been almost ten years."
Xu Wan couldn't control his tears for some reason.
Yes, that skinny little boy back then has become a boy who can support her.
After leaving the convenience store, Xu Wan stopped and looked at the corner.
The originally empty space is now covered by layers of cardboard boxes.
She opened her mouth and murmured subconsciously: "Did you find your sister that night..."
"No."
Xu Wan looked up at him: "Then she..."
Although almost ten years have passed, she still feels very uncomfortable when she thinks about the scene that night.
Ruan Chen stood in front of her, leaned slightly, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said in a low and slow voice: "She met Zhou Cishen that night."
Xu Wan remembered it and got it right.
Ruan Xing is in the evening, twilight, Zhou Ci is deep.
She cried and laughed: "This is such a coincidence. I really didn't expect that the people I met that night were you and your sister. I..."
Ruan Chen said: "This should not be described as coincidence, it is fate."
"That night, she met Zhou Cishen, and I also met you."
"The person being protected and cared for has never been you, but me. If I hadn't met you that night, I wouldn't be where I am now."
Xu Wan looked at him with tearful eyes: "So, when we met later, you recognized me at first sight?"
Ruan Chen laughed: "What are you thinking about? I have recognized you on TV a long time ago."
After hearing his answer, Xu Wan realized how stupid his question was.
She almost forgot that she was still an actor and was often active in the public eye...
Ruan Chen added: "That night, for me, is a memory I don't want to remember.
But at the same time, it also carries the best memories of my time.”
Xu Wan's fingertips were trembling a little.
Ruan Chen held her in his arms and whispered: "Everyone has a past that they don't want to face, and I am the same."
Xu Wan closed her eyes. She knew what he was referring to.
After a long while, Xu Wan finally spoke in a low voice: "I'm very glad that I met you at that time."
Ruan Chen hugged her tighter and said without warning: "Will you marry me?"
Xu Wan was stunned: "What?"
Ruan Chen slowly let go of her and pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth. He also knew that what he said was abrupt and he didn't even have any preparation.
He organized his sentences and spoke again: "I..."
