After a brief pause, Jian Anran raised his head, glanced at Su Yiqi, and replied again: "I'm leaving too."
The cup was thrown into the sink. Su Yiqi walked straight to the door and hung a wooden sign saying "rest" on the handle.
"Aren't you going to deny it? This is unusual."
Jian Anran paused, "Because it's the truth."
"Tell me, where are your facts?" She reached out and patted the bar chair beside her, motioning Su Yiqi to sit down.
"Where should we start?" Su Yiqi scratched his hair.
"I have no class tonight." She even crossed her legs, and Jian Anran suddenly felt like she was talking about some big project worth tens of billions.
"I'm guessing..." Su Yiqi pondered, "Does Xiangyi like you?"
"..."
Frowning, Jian Anran was silent for a while, then lowered her head and clicked her tongue.
"You can't accept lesbians?" Su Yiqi smiled vaguely, tilted his head, "Kongtong?"
"No," she was speechless, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Are you deliberately making fun of me?"
Su Yiqi turned around and poured a glass of water from the console, pushing it in front of Jian Anran, "That's definitely not it."
"What I just said is what I really want to say."
Wait!
She seemed to have just come to her senses, "So what you mean is, Xiangyi is..."
The words were on her lips, and Jian Anran didn't know how to word them for a moment.
"I'm sorry, I always thought you two were..."
Su Yiqi immediately replied: "Couple?"
Nodding, Jian Anran confirmed Su Yiqi's words.
"That must not be the case," Su Yiqi suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, "I am her brother."
Jian Anran was confused: "What brother?"
"Isn't he the 'brother' I knew in elementary and junior high school?" She suddenly became curious about Su Yiqi's and Xiangyi's sophomore years.
"Half brother." Su Yiqi added.
"What's the difference between that and the 'brother' I knew in elementary school and junior high school?" After taking a look, Jian Anran preconceivedly thought that he was arrogant.
"It's much worse," Su Yiqi shook the lemonade in his hand, "My father and her mother are married, and I am her brother in the household registration book."
"What?" Jian Anran couldn't hold it back for a moment and shouted in surprise.
Su Yiqi in front of him was greatly frightened, and then he smiled.
"You must have memorized a poem in junior high school, right?" Facing the red brick wall in front of the operating table, Su Yiqi suddenly said, "The clear water is better when the water is shining, and the mountains are empty and rainy. It is also strange to compare the West Lake to the West Lake.
, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Anran suddenly reacted, "Strange? Suitable?"
"It turns out there's a mystery in your names, but you're not from the same father..."
The voice stopped suddenly, feeling as if she had unearthed some terrible secret, and Jian Anran immediately closed her mouth.
"It's okay, I originally planned to tell you everything," Su Yiqi in front of him paused, "What you want to ask is, she and I are half-sisters, why are our names related?"<
/p>
"Because my dad cheated on her, and it was obvious that the person he cheated on was Xiangyi's mother. At that time, my dad thought Xiangyi was his child, and her household registration book still has a previous name - Su Xiangyi."
"Later, her biological father may have sensed something was wrong, so he filed a lawsuit and took a DNA test. The result was that the child was his. At that time, Xiangyi's mother was the cheating partner and had no income, so Xiangyi awarded the child to his father."
"My dad later took Xiangyi's mother and me to Canada. Xiangyi and we didn't get in touch again until she was 16 years old."
"Wait, wait!" Seeing Su Yiqi start to recall the past endlessly, Jian Anran quickly stopped.
"Xiangyi probably doesn't want us to know these things, right? You don't need to tell me anymore."
Su Yiqi retorted: "What I share with you is about me."
This was also his childhood.
"If she used to be more squeamish in the office, but she has moved away now, we have almost no contact." Jian Anran said.
"Wen Siheng's attitude regarding the plagiarism issue was that she just needed to defend herself, and did not say that she must be punished. Besides, with the Prime Minister and Vice-President protecting her, nothing would happen to her."
After clarifying her thoughts, Jian Anran leaned her waist on the short backrest of the bar and breathed a sigh of relief.
There is a feeling that the more she knows, the greater the burden will be on her shoulders. Her intuition tells her that she should not pry into too many other people's private affairs.
"What are you afraid of?" Su Yiqi revealed her thoughts directly.
"Xiangyi and I are not close enough to know this," Jian Anran smiled helplessly, "We had some criticism of her before because her behavior was not conducive to the implementation of the project. We were not targeting her as a person.
”
"So you just said she likes me..." Her voice dropped by three points, a little unconfident.
"I lied to you," Su Yiqi couldn't help laughing, "but it seems that her previous partner was indeed a senior from your department."
……
Shaking the lemonade in their hands, Jian Anran and Su Yiqi fell into silence again.
"Why aren't you surprised at all?" Su Yiqi suddenly asked.
"Just..." Jian Anran frowned and thought for a while, "It's a bit surprising, but not surprising."
"After all, it's 2023, and there are friends who like the same sex around me. Although I heard that the vast majority of friends still like the opposite sex, some like them all, and some don't like them at all."
"It's not a big deal, just make yourself happy."
"..."
Falling into silence again, Su Yiqi said after a while: "It would be great if everyone was like you."
His voice was so low that even Jian Anran was sitting next to him and couldn't hear him clearly.
"What?" Jian Anran asked.
Su Yiqi shook his head and looked up at the air outlet of the heater. He wondered if there was no ventilation in the store. There seemed to be a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
"Thank you." His volume was just right this time, and Jian Anran could just hear it.
"But why doesn't the Vice-President like you?" She suddenly remembered that she met the Vice-President and Su Yiqi in the hospital a few months ago, and the Vice-President's attitude was not very friendly.
"Is it related to this matter?"
Su Yiqi nodded, "She thought I was the one who led Xiangyi astray. She said she was very good before and could not have such thoughts. She also said I was as evil as her mother."
"I won't say anything worse." The other party smiled bitterly.
The dusk fell outside the glass window, and the lemonade in the glass had bottomed out. Looking at Su Yiqi in front of him, he probably had nothing to say. Jian Anran picked up the coat that was placed aside, stood up and said goodbye to him.
"By the way," Su Yi said strangely before leaving, "I may be more interested in the person you tell me than your words."
"Nooffends." he added.
"So you also...?" Jian Anran was really surprised now.
Facing Jian Anran's direction, Su Yiqi raised the cup in his hand, "That's why you, the deputy dean, think I led her away."
