My girlfriend is from the future!

Chapter 124 No.20 If We Never Met ([-])

He Ranran hung up the phone, returned the phone to Wen Liang, and said with a relaxed face:
"She asked me to come over early the day after tomorrow, and Guo Huai wants me to be his best man."

Wen Liang looked at him suspiciously, but said nothing.

The two only looked at each other for less than two seconds. He Tianran was defeated and shrugged: "Well, it's actually Cao Aiqing who wants to see me."

"She's getting married the day after tomorrow, and wants to see you today?" Wen Liang said strangely. She didn't know the content of the call and could only guess: "Could it be that what she actually wants to see is another you?"

"It would be better if I went to see her." He Tianran pondered for a while, without perfunctory: "Ai Qing in this world has changed too much. Although my relationship with her is very weak now, since she opened her mouth, I still want to go I met once, and I will definitely not give that bastard this opportunity."

Wen Liang paused for a moment, hesitated to speak, she was conflicted in her heart, in fact, in the final analysis, she had no right to mind such things.

However, she was still uneasy, they had only been together for two days, it was not right for Wen Liang to stand at the door and leave, or not to leave.

He Tianran smiled: "What are you afraid of? Afraid that I can't control myself and elope with Cao Aiqing, don't want you?"

Wen Liang glared at him, but still said seriously: "I can see that you wouldn't do such a thing with her, but I still feel a little uneasy, my sixth sense is still very accurate."

The expression on the young man's face remained unchanged: "Okay, don't talk about it, hurry up, pee, pee, you have to get on the plane later."

"Where did she ask you to meet?" Wen Liang didn't care about the prevarication in his words.

"It's our Starbucks downstairs, she will come over in the afternoon." He Tianran said bluntly.

"Um……"

Wen Liang groaned to herself after listening, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Don't worry, I'll send you a photo this afternoon, nothing will happen."

He Tianran comforted the other party's emotions, just at that moment Wen Liang's assistant called her, she responded with a few words, after all, time waits for no one, she could only say helplessly:
"Then, you must wait for me to come back..."

"Well, after I finish meeting with her in the afternoon, I'll wait for you to come back at home in the days to come, and I won't go anywhere. I'm ready to have a soft meal."

He Tianran said with a playful smile, Wen Liang gave him a white look with a smile, then quickly licked his face, and then left in three steps.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, Wen Liang's premonition was correct, the place he met with Cao Aiqing was not a Starbucks, but Nanzhi Island, more than [-] nautical miles away from the port city.

Nanzhi Island is an island around the port city. Compared with the ancient town in the inland city, as a coastal city, there are not too many islands developed as tourist attractions. It takes about an hour to go there by boat from the harbor area. It takes a little more time to arrive, which is more convenient than going to the city center.

He Tianran didn't know why the appointment was there, but what he wanted to know more was why his other self would read that novel to Cao Aiqing.

He said that Wen Liang would fall into the sea, but he didn't; now he indirectly told Cao Aiqing the story that happened in his own timeline, what exactly does he want to do?
There are too many mysteries, He Tianran can only take one step at a time.

"After finishing dealing with Ai Qing's matter...I will definitely go to see him again to ask him some time, and then..." He Tianran touched the rosary, and said to himself, "Then I will go to Quanling Temple."

The time to meet Cao Aiqing was not in the afternoon. In fact, when she called, she was already on the island.

Judging from her tone just now, I hope that the sooner the two meet, the better.

He Tianran changed his clothes, went out to take a taxi to the pier, and bought a ticket to Nanyan Island. He sat in the cabin and wanted to take a nap, but the tourists on the boat were arguing with the chickens and ducks bought by the islanders. He couldn't be at peace, so he could only close his eyes and try to let himself go.

The sea is bumpy, and there is no end to the outside of the ship. The sea breeze blows, and it is cool for a while.

He Tianran's thoughts are unrestrained, and it is rare to enter a state of deep thought. The bewilderment after coming to this world, the excitement when meeting Wen Liang, the disappointment and sigh when facing Cao Aiqing, all these things flashed through his mind. , but what he thinks about the most is himself.

That, the self that has never changed.

The answer can be said to be ready to come out, but in fact it can be summed up in two words, that is——

Cold-blooded.

The so-called introverted, nerdy, unsociable, and ignorant of words are all just appearances. If you look into your heart, you will know how unsatisfactory the original He Tianran is in his spiritual world.

In the past, other people's impression of him was very uniform and shy, even dark. Even in normal social life, he could look very friendly and polite, but the disgusting distance emanating from him Feelings, always reject people thousands of miles away, as if implying:

"So far, please don't cross the line."

This is He Tianran's defense mechanism that has become instinctive. He maintains a state of being able to retreat from an upcoming relationship at any time, and even enjoys it.

"To avoid the end, avoid the beginning."

This is the original He Tianran, who seems sensible, but actually has a cold nature.

Of course he wants to look forward to and love, but how can he give to others what he has never had?

He Tianran has not experienced the 13 years in this world, but when he thinks of this, he can roughly understand the mental state of his other self.

Such a person grew up in an environment where his heart was hurt, and everything around him would not be much better than the black and white world in the eyes of young people.

On the sea level, the outline of a small island gradually emerged. He Tianran came to the bow from the cabin alone. As the island got closer and closer, he saw a white figure standing by the port from a distance. An oil painting expressing loneliness.

It was Cao Aiqing who was waiting for her. She took off her professional suit last time and put on a pure white dress, which was as elegant and quiet as before.

She just stood there.

He Tianran was surprised to find that when he saw her this time, there was a little color on her body.

When the boat stopped and docked, He Tianran followed them onto the pier, and the crowd that came with the boat hurried past them. The two looked at each other, and they were silent for a moment.

When they met this time, Cao Aiqing looked at him seriously again. Unlike the last time when her image changed, this time there was a bit of strange emotion in her eyes.

He Tianran avoided her gaze for a while and asked, "How long have you been waiting?"

Cao Aiqing shook her head, looked away, and said lightly, "Not long."

When she was done, she turned around.

"Come with me."

"……Um."

He Ranran followed, and the two of them walked aimlessly among the paths on the island.

The scenery of Nanzhi Island is very good. It takes about four hours to go around the island. The development of tourism in the port city has greatly promoted the economy of the island. An island of 11 square kilometers has reached the level of a small county. , Along the way, He Tianran not only saw chain convenience stores, restaurants, youth hostels, he even saw a bar street.

Thirteen years ago, He Tianran heard that Nanzhi Island was going to be turned into a "Sea Lijiang" by Hong Kong City. At that time, Nanzhi Island was just an ordinary scenic spot, and there were only two boats going there every day.

Along the way, He Tianran looked fresh, and Cao Aiqing glanced at him from time to time, and the two walked into a music bar that was still open during the day.

The owner of the bar is a cheerful young man in his early 30s. He wears a headscarf, a simple white vest, a pair of baggy polyester pants, and a little stubble on his angular chin. He is a typical The island version of Wenqing dress up.

Seeing Cao Aiqing walk in, he warmly greeted the boss who was washing the wine utensils behind the bar.

"Ai Qing is here, have you returned to the city recently? I haven't seen you for a while, is it still the same?"

Cao Aiqing nodded with a smile, found a seat and sat down, and He Tianran took advantage of the opportunity to sit opposite her.

Not long after, the bar owner served a cocktail named "Necroni". He looked at He Tianran, smiled and asked Cao Aiqing:
"Your brother? Or a new intern in your studio? He's handsome."

"No, he... is my friend."

Cao Aiqing replied.

The owner of the bar noticed the slightly subtle relationship between the two, and looked at He Tianran thoughtfully: "Uh... Then my friend, do you need something to drink?"

He Tianran shook his head: "Water is fine..."

"Give him a whiskey."

Cao Aiqing answered this question for him.

The bar owner looked around, and finally returned to the bar and poured a glass of whiskey for He Tianran.

"Actually don't drink... I'll tell you the truth too."

The boy lowered his head and shook the wine in the glass slightly. The ice cube hit the wall of the glass, making a slight ping-pong sound.

Cao Aiqing's purpose for letting him drink was obvious.

The woman was distracted, without embarrassment, she just raised her neck slightly, took a sip of wine silently, and said slowly:
"Can I see your arm?"

He Tianran smiled bitterly, rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, and stretched it out. On his arm, there was a circle of faint circular teeth marks.

This was when he and Cao Aiqing went to watch the sunrise together on New Year's Day, when he was bitten by a rare willful girl.

"how so……"

Cao Aiqing murmured, she stared at the tooth marks in a daze.

She stretched out her hand involuntarily, she wanted to touch the circle of marks, trying to verify that it was real, but He Tianran had already pulled down his sleeves and retracted his arms when he saw it.

This move made Cao Aiqing look up at the other party impressively.

"You have read that novel, and you should know that in another world, there is a Cao Aiqing who has the same name and face as you, and the background of the parents is the same. We love each other, you don't have to doubt this, but... You are not her, and you don't need to put yourself into someone else's story."

He Tianran's words were quite distinct. After listening to Cao Aiqing, although she had been mentally prepared, she still showed a complex look on her face. She paused for a long time before slowly saying:

"You say you love each other?"

"Well, I love her very much."

He Tianran answered without hesitation. He recalled the days he had experienced with Ai Qing, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"We walked into each other's hearts. At first, she always liked to use her studies as an excuse to reject others. In the final analysis, she still didn't like it enough. But, she was worried that the rejected person would be hurt, and she was really entangled to death. She was very Simple, but also very kind, I like her very much, but it is because of this extreme simplicity and kindness that she has attracted a lot of criticism, but fortunately, there was me by her side at that time, I fell in love with her, and I also protected her. I lost her, and I think she really fell in love with me from then on."

After hearing this, Cao Aiqing sighed faintly.

"I haven't experienced this, so you think, I'm not her?"

He Tianran thought for a while and said:

"That's right, everyone in this world is unique, and will not be replaced just because another He Tianran appears today, and another Cao Aiqing appears tomorrow. This kind of uniqueness is shaped by different experiences and memories. As a result, the unique color presented in everyone's heart, I like Cao Aiqing who belongs to me, I like her beautiful appearance, and I like her pure soul even more."

Cao Aiqing's expression, from listening quietly at the beginning, to bowing her head in thought, now she frowned slightly, and said coldly:
"I agree with what you say, but I don't want you to be just eloquent."

He Tianran said with a distressed smile, "What I'm telling is the truth."

"Then how do you explain your relationship with Wen Liang? You keep saying how much you like Cao Aiqing who belongs to you, but in this world, you seem to have forgotten her, and then brazenly said 13 at the dinner table. The fact that I loved another woman years ago. Yes, I am indeed not the person you like, but I still call this name after all. The difference is that if she knows about your performance, she will be disappointed and will If you suffer silently, you will be foolish enough to think that you are not doing well enough, and then treat you twice as well, while I will express my anger!"

These words, starting from the first rhetorical question, turned into cold arrows, aiming at the weak spot that He Tianran wanted to avoid the most, the lethality was so great that the young man was caught off guard, and was speechless .

After a long time, He Tianran could only say this sentence bluntly.

"This is between me and Wen Liang, it has nothing to do with you."

If it wasn't for the impetus of the falling into the sea scam, he could have said frankly that Wen Liang was his ex-girlfriend. If it wasn't for her appearance, he wouldn't have the courage to protect Cao Aiqing.

It's just that now, even if it's not his girlfriend, He Tianran doesn't have the confidence to be justified.

He really loved Wen Liang deeply in his heart.

Cao Aiqing kept a sneer and said sarcastically:

"You have so many stories, no wonder you like 'Innocent Soul'."

He Tianran got a little annoyed by this sentence, he couldn't help but retorted:

"I don't know why the other me will show you that novel, but I want to remind you that you are getting married the day after tomorrow, and there is no need for you to bother about my affairs..."

As he spoke, he realized that he was emotionally agitated, suppressed his impetuous mood, and continued: "Guo Huai loves you very much. In this world, it is undeniable that he was the one who protected you. Find happiness in love and have a beautiful life of your own.”

After finishing speaking, He Tianran raised his wine glass and held it between the two of them.

Cao Aiqing was indifferent to his actions, so the young man could only withdraw his wine glass angrily, and took a sip himself.

Next to his ear, he suddenly heard a sentence of resignation:

"So, no matter which world it is, I will be bullied, right?"
