Chapter 37 Chapter 36 Temporary lover or lifelong friend

Pei Xiaonan dragged Wei Ran out of the oncology department building in a hurry. At this time, it was approaching the evening peak. She received a WeChat message from Cheng Ge on her mobile phone, and the other party had already arrived at the appointment location.

Pei Xiaonan put down her phone, got into Wei Ran's Harvard H7, and glanced out the window. The sunset glow burned the sky gorgeously, like an oil painting hanging on the sky, but she was not in any mood appreciate.

"When you arrive at the restaurant in a while, don't talk, just sit there and keep smiling, and leave the rest to me."

Wei Ran doesn't know how bad the current relationship between Pei Xiaonan and Cheng Ge is. After all, the two have been in love for three years. When Cheng Ge's father came to the hospital for surgery for stomach cancer, Pei Xiaonan and Cheng Ge met for the first time in the hospital garden. They were both attracted to each other, and it was love at first sight.

Unexpectedly, the reason they broke up in the end was that Cheng Ge wanted Pei Xiaonan to give up her career and go home to be a rich wife.

Wei Ran may be the opposite sex who knows Pei Xiaonan best in the world. He knows this Shanghai girl who has to dress up exquisitely even if she is doing experimental research in the laboratory.

This girl from a single-parent family did not have a very happy childhood. Her mother cheated, her parents divorced, her father passed away, and she lived with her grandmother. She almost dropped out of college because she couldn’t make up the tuition fees. In order to fulfill her dream, she worked three jobs a day. , but also desperately to catch up with academic progress.

After graduating from graduate school, in order to get a school scholarship to recommend to a doctor, I worked on a project crazily for a while. Finally, varicose veins appeared in the fundus of the stomach, and I stayed in the hospital for three weeks.

Wei Ran has seen Pei Xiaonan's courage, Pei Xiaonan's persistence, and everything in Pei Xiaonan's past, and experienced it personally.

Just like what she said in front of the brightly lit Bund building on the night when she got the offer from the research institute: You know Wei Ran, my life has never been flat, but I will never belittle myself, I want Yes, I will work hard to fight for it, so I see gods and gods, ghosts and ghosts, there is no obstacle that can stop me, I will prove to time that I, Pei Xiaonan, will become the best tumor researcher in Shanghai!

On that day, my scientific research results will become the most beautiful medal of merit in my life!

Recalling this, Wei Ran clenched his hands on the steering wheel involuntarily. He looked out of the car window, the lights of the buildings were dim, the horns were honking on the streets, and the whole city was reflected in his eyes, sighing and wandering.

Pei Xiaonan took out the makeup mirror in her bag to touch up her makeup, and kept telling herself in her heart that this was the only decent and effective solution to the problems between her and Cheng Ge.

When the two were in love, Cheng Ge was simply a model boyfriend. The two of them had made plans for their future life, including having a child in the first year, and had a second child before Pei Xiaonan was 35 years old. , Cheng Ge's ideas were influenced by his parents, who insisted that Pei Xiaonan go home and be a full-time wife. Later, the two became more and more dissatisfied with each other, and there were more and more quarrels. They were both stubborn guys. He also refuses to make concessions in love and career.

Therefore, Pei Xiaonan finally decided to let Cheng Ge go, and also let go of herself, and everyone will return to the bridge in the future, and the road will return to the road.

Wei Ran drove to this Michelin three-star western restaurant and parked his car in a nearby square. It was getting dark, and the searchlights in the center of the square illuminated the surroundings like daylight.

After Pei Xiaonan got off the car, he immediately saw Cheng Ge sitting alone on a bench in the square.

There was no smile on his face, he bent his body slightly, leaned his elbows on his knees, and held a business document in his hand, but he didn't look at it, but raised his face, and cast his eyes on Pei Xiaonan and Wei Ran coming to the square direction.

Pei Xiaonan could sense his hesitation from his face, but Cheng Ge did not express his dissatisfaction. For today's date, he deliberately chose a blue suit with a tie of the same color, an exquisite tie clip pinned to his chest, and his hair I also went to the barber shop to get it done.

His eyes lingered on Wei Ran for a few seconds. Cheng Ge was familiar with the only two friends of the opposite sex around Pei Xiaonan, especially this Dr. Wei, who had a heroic vigor and a very clean smile, the kind who could stand in a crowd A handsome guy who couldn't take his eyes away after one glance.

Cheng Ge once regarded Dr. Wei as his imaginary enemy.

Cheng Ge nodded to the other party, and his gaze finally fell back on Pei Xiaonan: "I must be tired after a day of work this year. Let's go in first. I have reserved the seats."

Pei Xiaonan pulled up a strand of hair behind her ears, and Wei Ran noticed her little gesture, which was a subconscious gesture that Pei Xiaonan would make every time she felt guilty.

Cheng Ge deliberately chose a window seat in the restaurant. A bottle of fresh Orchid was placed on the table covered with a clean white tablecloth. There was a faint aroma of red wine in the air. Floating over, giving people a sense of lazy and leisurely rest.

Cheng Ge suddenly looked at Pei Xiaonan and cut off her thoughts: "Honey, what do you like to eat?"

The other party's tone tonight was extraordinarily gentle.

Pei Xiaonan subconsciously twitched his brows, seeing that Cheng Ge was unusual tonight, probably because of the presence of a third party, he was more gentle than usual, and would call out "Dear" three times affectionately Character.

Pei Xiaonan sneered in his heart. Sure enough, men have a sense of territoriality. When a second head of the same sex appears in the territory, their nerves will become extremely sensitive, and they will even send signals to the opposite sex to show their sovereignty.

Soon, the waiter brought out the ordered steak and side dishes one by one. Halfway through eating, Cheng Ge picked up the tablecloth and wiped his mouth, then suddenly held Pei Xiaonan's hand, and said with a gentle smile, "Honey, I You know, before I didn't discuss with you first, I made decisions for you, which made you very dissatisfied. I also persuaded my mother, and now my career is also on the rise. We can have a child a year or two later, so you can You can continue to work for a year or two. After you adjust your mentality, you can resign. If you don’t like our apartment in Shanghai, we can buy it again. You can choose any apartment in Shanghai, anywhere..."

Pei Xiaonan frowned: "Cheng Ge, I remember I told you clearly that I will not give up my job and go home with you to be a full-time wife. You have also received foreign education. What age is it? Such an outdated idea that with your men conquering the world, we women will give up our careers and go home to have children?"

Cheng Ge's heart skipped a beat: "But one of us has to make a sacrifice. Isn't that what it's like to start a family? In contrast, I can't lose my job. Taking a step back, we have to support a family after we get married. You Doing research work in a hospital laboratory, can I get thousands of dollars a month? The economic conditions of the two of us are so different, if I give up my job, we may even have problems living."

Pei Xiaonan's heart burst into flames, and Shun kept ordering herself to calm down. She didn't come to quarrel with Cheng Ge. Fortunately, she had already decided to break up. Why don't we all get together and break up.

Pei Xiaonan looked at Wei Ran, who was visibly stiff, gritted his teeth, leaned over and threatened in a low voice: "Old Wei, it's up to you, don't let me lose the chain at the critical moment!"

Wei Ran could already sense Cheng Ge's unkind eyes on him.

Pei Xiaonan held Wei Ran's hand and clasped his fingers tightly. This action made Wei Ran tremble all over. Feeling the softness and warmth in his palm, he involuntarily held the other's hand back.

Pei Xiaonan held up the hands they held tightly and showed it to Cheng Ge: "Let's break up, I'm in love with Old Wei, you know, we've known each other for ten years, and we've been very close since college. I have a crush on Old Wei, but I dare not say it out loud, for fear that if I say it, I won’t be able to make friends, but I never thought that Old Wei has also been secretly in love with me for ten years, so we decided..."

Hearing these words, Cheng Ge put the cup on the dining table and looked at the two with a sullen expression.

There was a brief silence among the three, but it was not peace, but the night before the storm.

Cheng Ge couldn't stand it anymore, he waved his hand, and all the food on the table was spilled on the ground by him, and the piercing sound of broken porcelain plates came from the dining room, the waiter obviously noticed something was wrong, and stood not far away, hesitating, I don't know if I should step forward.

The anger on Cheng Ge's face was still there, and he questioned in a hoarse voice: "Speak clearly!"

Under his furious judging eyes, Pei Xiaonan smiled abruptly, gracefully: "You have seen it all, I have nothing to explain!"

Cheng Geten stood up with a bang, and looked down at the two of them, his eyes were piercing: "But I didn't do anything to apologize to you!"

Pei Xiaonan frowned briefly: "But you should know in your heart that we will come to this point sooner or later. Since neither of us can make compromises for each other in love, it's better to break up!"

Cheng Ge interrupted him, gnashing his teeth: "Just because I asked you to quit that crappy job! Xiaonan, I really don't understand. A laboratory researcher with a monthly salary of only a few thousand is worth your attention? If you If you really want to do research, I can ask my dad to fund you to build a cancer research institute..."

"Crap job?" Pei Xiaonan couldn't hold back the repressed anger any longer, and stood up, "In your eyes, is that just an insignificant crappy job?"

Pei Xiaonan's face was so distorted that it was almost ferocious: "Do you know what kind of effort I have put in for this crappy job in your eyes? That is my dream, my belief, and the result is what you see as a job. Look down on me, a crappy job that can be thrown away? Have you ever respected my choice?"

The anger on Cheng Ge's face suddenly subsided, Pei Xiaonan didn't want to bear it any longer, and said in a deep voice: "I've said everything that needs to be said, you just treat me as not in love, let's break up! Don't contact me anymore! "

Cheng Ge's face was pale, he saw that Pei Xiaonan's eyes were full of indifference, the two had broken up and quarreled before, but they never showed such a look, it was heartless.

Cheng Ge took a deep breath, and he felt a burst of fear in his heart. In fact, he was afraid of losing the other party.

"Xiaonan, I was wrong, I was really wrong, you can't leave me, you know, I can't live without you!"

Pei Xiaonan smiled at Cheng Ge, but tears burst out suddenly: "Cheng Ge, wake up, we can live well without anyone!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the restaurant stepping on the sky high under her feet. She, Pei Xiaonan, must not leave the stage in disgrace. Even if they broke up, she must maintain her elegant posture.

In the starry sky-colored corridor of the restaurant, the vision blurred by tears became even more blurred. Pei Xiaonan walked outside step by step, her emotions pouring out like the flood of a dam, and suddenly there were footsteps behind her, messy and hurried, Cheng Ge grabbed Pei Xiaonan's hand, and without thinking, Pei Xiaonan slapped Cheng Ge hard on the face with his backhand.

Cheng Ge's face was hot after being beaten in public, his eyes were about to burst into anger: "Have you had enough trouble!"

He squeezed Pei Xiaonan hard with his wrist, causing her to frown.

At the critical moment, a pair of strong hands grabbed the numbness on Cheng Ge's forearm, prompting him to let go.

Wei Ran took off his suit jacket, put it on Pei Xiaonan's bare shoulders, held her in his arms, and walked outside the restaurant.

Cheng Ge looked at the leaving figure angrily, and shouted hysterically: "Pei Xiaonan, you will regret losing me!"

Wei Ran sent Pei Xiaonan to the car all the way, and the anger in her heart was also broken into countless bubbles in the night wind, rising and falling, dissipating into nothingness.

Wei Ran looked at Pei Xiaonan who was crying, and gently hugged her in his arms, Pei Xiaonan's tense muscles instantly relaxed.

Wei Ran asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Pei Xiaonan wiped away the tears on her cheeks with her hands, turned around and walked on the co-pilot: "Come on, go drink with me."

Wei Ran didn't object, and turned around and sat in the driver's seat: "Would you like to go to my house?"

Pei Xiaonan nodded: "I want to eat your spicy crayfish, how spicy and spicy it is!"

Wei Ran chuckled, "As long as you're not afraid of acne, I'm fine."

Pei Xiaonan snorted coldly: "I want to drink cold beer!"

"Okay, no problem, I'll satisfy you!" Wei Ran turned the car around and drove into the traffic.

The moon in the city sky was covered by dark clouds, Wei Ran sneaked a glance at the girl beside him through the remaining moonlight, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Since ten years ago, every time Pei Xiaonan fell in love, Wei Ran would accompany her to relieve her worries, but the relationship between the two was like parallel lines, they stayed together for a lifetime, but they could only hide their love in their hearts.

Wei Ran was afraid countless times that he couldn't help being impulsive, and said the love buried in his heart.

He humbled and guarded her for ten years, because he didn't want to be a lover for a while, so he could only choose to be a friend for a lifetime.
