We are passersby from now on

Chapter 21

Chapter [-]

The time was wrong, so naturally we didn't go to any big hotel, but just met at a nearby coffee shop.

The afternoon sun reflected lazily on the dark green tablecloth, with a touch of warmth. There were not many people in the coffee shop, and there was a peaceful atmosphere in the empty space.

Lu Ran arrived first, ordered a glass of lemon juice and waited for Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan came earlier than she expected, with a smile still on the corner of his mouth, ordered coffee casually, and sat directly opposite Lu Ran.

Seeing the shopping bag beside Lu Ran, he asked casually, "Are you shopping?"

Nodding, Lu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiang, for that matter."

Xiang Yan paused, but still smiled: "You can just call me Xiang Yan, Senior Brother Xiang sounds too awkward."

"Alright, Xiang Yan..." Lu Ran only thought for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, did you do what you did because you wanted to chase me?"

Choked by Lu Ran's straightforwardness, Xiang Yanyu stuffed it for a moment, then stroked his forehead with a smile: "Although I know what I did is obvious, but you should save me a little face." He touched his nose, "Okay, I admit, Miss Lu Ran, I am indeed chasing you."

Lu Ran didn't follow Xiang Yan and smiled again: "I just want to tell you, don't chase after."

"why?"

"I'm with Han Moyan now."

Xiang Yan's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal, and asked with some difficulty: "Is this impossible, how could it be so fast? Doesn't he have a girlfriend? And...he told you that he likes you?"

It was too troublesome to explain, so Lu Ran simply said: "It's not important, I just told you that I don't want you to waste your time."

Lu Ran has always disliked procrastination when doing things, and the only person he couldn't let go of was Han Moyan.

The waiter brought the coffee, and Xiang Yan took a sip. The taste was so bitter that he could hardly swallow it, and then he remembered that he forgot to add sugar and creamer.

At that moment, he smiled wryly again: "Lu Ran, is that why you like him so much?"

Lu Ran has been asked this question too many times, and has no interest in answering it, so he just smiled and looked at Xiang Yan.

Fortunately, Xiang Yan obviously didn't really want her to answer, so he lowered his head and took another sip of the purely bitter coffee, looking at the coffee with pretty eyes, a little lonely: "Chasing you is just one of my obsessions, you don't have to mind too much .Actually, to be honest, I never thought I could really succeed. I just know that you are still single and don’t try. I always feel sorry for my secret love for so many years. Okay, now I also know..."

He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Lu Ran, those smiles disappeared in an instant, and it was only at this time that Lu Ran found a bit of the shadow of Senior Brother Xiang Yan from the man in front of him, stubborn and serious, " Lu Ran, although I don't like you and Han Moyan very much, but... I still hope that you can be happy if you have been in love for so many years. However, there is something I think you need to know. "

"what's up?"

Xiang Yan moved his lips, and said slowly: "I'm currently helping a boss as a legal consultant. He is Han Moyan's college classmate. I heard from him that Han Moyan used to have a very good lover, who is completely different from you. .”

Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, then asked calmly, "What type is that?"

"I also asked by the way. That girl is Han Moyan's senior. According to my client, she has good grades, good looks, good popularity, serious work, and a very gentle personality."

It seems that there is a little... gap between her and her.

And... senior sister... Lu Ran couldn't help thinking of the book she saw on Han Moyan's bookshelf...

She took a sip of lemon juice, forced a smile and said, "That's great, why did you fall in love with Han Moyan?"

"Han Moyan chased her."

Lu Ran almost choked on the lemon juice she was drinking. She coughed twice, but a liquid more sour than lemon juice gushed out of her heart.

Unable to control myself, I could only continue to ask: "Then why aren't they together now?"

"That person later went abroad on a scholarship, and they broke up."

"What's the matter?" Lu Ran lowered her eyes and smiled, "When I was in college, I broke up because of the distance. What's the big deal?"

Xiang Yan seemed a little unbearable: "Lu Ran, you..."

Lifting the bag, Lu Ran said, "If there is nothing else, I'll go first."

Walked aimlessly on the street for hours.

The sky gradually darkened.

He didn't buy anything, he didn't look at anything, but he repeated Xiang Yan's words over and over in his mind.

When she met Han Moyan, Han Moyan had already finished her MBA, and she had no way of knowing about the university. She couldn't even follow Xiang Yan's words to continue imagining what it would be like for Han Moyan to pursue people and have a good relationship...

Is it because she met Han Moyan too late?
Holding the phone tightly, suppressing the desire to ask Lu Qi to help her investigate, Lu Ran hung up the call to Han Moyan in a nonchalant tone.

It took a while to connect. As expected, Han Moyan was still working overtime alone.

Just listening to the cold voice in the microphone, Lu Ran slowly calmed down.

It doesn't matter what the lover was in the past, anyway... Now Han Moyan is hers.

Lu Ran went to buy a porridge with preserved egg and lean meat and fried rice for Han Moyan.

It's not like this kind of thing has never been done before, so Han Moyanxian was only surprised for a moment when he saw her, and then buried himself in processing the documents for a while, and then opened the food box that Lu Ran sent.

The porridge with preserved egg and lean meat is very delicious. The minced meat and preserved egg are evenly mixed, and the fried rice is also plump and round. It is probably just out of the pan. It was still hot when Han Moyan took it apart. These things are delicious when you are working until you are hungry. However, what's more, they are all Han Moyan's favorite foods.

Lu Ran sat on the sofa and watched Han Moyan eat quietly.

The Han family's tutor is not bad, and Han Moyan's eating appearance is pleasing to the eye even if it is not elegant.

At the same time that Han Moyan put down the spoon, Lu Ran walked to Han Moyan's table.

When the light was projected, a small shadow was blocked by Lu Ran's body, Han Moyan raised his head in doubt: "Thank you."

It was still the same face without much ups and downs, the cold and hard lines did not look abrupt, but instead brought out the more handsome face because of the baptism of the years, Lu Ran felt slightly depressed, restrained her mind, she knocked on the table: " Han Moyan, you were unwilling to answer before, can I ask you a question now?"

"Yeah." Nodding for no reason.

"Have you ever seriously liked someone?"

Almost at the moment the question was asked, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to freeze suddenly.

Han Moyan's face was expressionless, and his voice was cold and impersonal: "Why do you have to be obsessed with this question? Didn't I answer you before?"

"Is this answer true to you?"

"Yes."

"Then... who is Zhuang Jing?"

Han Moyan suddenly raised his head, his voice was imperceptibly stiff: "Who told you this name?"

*******************************************************************************
Early flight the next morning.

For fear of traffic jams, Lu Ran got up very early, and still felt sleepy after boarding the plane.

Han Moyan brought his laptop on the plane, obviously doing a final check, the two of them didn't want to talk to each other, so they completely quieted down.

Lu Ran tilted her head and leaned against the back seat.

There was no real quarrel last night. Han Moyan didn't want to say it, and she didn't want to force it. After all, it is a very stupid thing to lose the present tense for a past tense, so Han Moyan finished his work hastily and drove her home.

The two of them didn't say a word during this period, and this silence has continued until now.

The unwillingness in his bones insisted on it, so his mouth has remained stubborn until now.

Lu Ran closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep leaning against the back seat.

When I woke up, the plane was about to land.

Lu Ran didn't realize when she leaned on Han Moyan's shoulder, with a thin blanket covering her body and tucked her neck.

And Han Moyan also fell asleep.

The eyelashes are densely covered, and there is a faint bruise under the eyelids - it is caused by staying up late for a long time.

No matter how angry she was at the other party, she felt a little distressed at this moment.

Lu Ran knew that Han Moyan was desperate to work.

At that time, Han Moyan’s company was still small, so he was in a hurry, staying up late was nothing, and he took the whole team all night for several nights... As a result, the next day after finishing the work, he had a cup of coffee and a pot of hot water to talk about the contract with people in high spirits. He almost fell on the negotiating table, causing their subordinates to rush him to the hospital, where he stayed for a night on glucose, and Lu Ran watched him in the ward for the night, but the next morning, he saw Han Moyan dressed like a normal person The suit wakes her up for work.

Taking off the blanket on her body, Lu Ran gently covered Han Moyan with the blanket.

Unexpectedly, Han Moyan was still awakened. He opened his eyes and relaxed the moment he saw Lu Ran. His eyes were still a little sleepy and hazy when he just woke up. Dye's heart beat twice for a moment.

As if casually, she said, "Here we are, ready to get off the plane."

The confusion in his eyes dissipated, and Han Moyan said as if nothing happened: "I see."

*******************************************************************************
The busy itinerary hardly touches the ground.

When I went back at night, Lu Ran was so tired that she just wanted to sleep and had no other thoughts at all. Han Moyan was busier than her, so naturally.

Ten days later, the meeting finally came to an end. During the period, countless business cards were exchanged, and some cooperation was discussed, but further cooperation projects still need to be discussed.

But these things don't need to be rushed for a while.

I went back to the hotel and had a good night's sleep. When I woke up, I found that my ankles were slightly red and swollen after I took off my high heels.

Picking up the six-centimeter high-heeled shoes, Lu Ran threw them far away. She liked sneakers far more than high-heeled shoes, but no one would wear a pair of sneakers with a skirt swaying.

After getting a beer from the freezer, he perched on the sofa in the suite like a cat until he was woken up by an intercom call.

The organizer organized a trip to a private beach in the afternoon and asked her if she wanted to go.

Lu Ran didn't bring a swimsuit, and she didn't have much interest in sitting on the beach. In the past, she might have left to expand her network, but now... She really doesn't plan to be Han Moyan's assistant for the rest of her life.

But apart from the beach, there are not too few places to play in the seaside city. Thinking of this, Lu Ran dug out a simple T-shirt and jeans from the suitcase, changed the skirt that got in the way a few days ago, and went out I just remembered that I forgot to bring my shoes, and turned my attention to the high heels... Anyway, I won't wear them for the next few days, so Lu Ran directly broke the pointed heels of the high heels, and turned the high heels into flat sandals.

Stepping on sandals to go out, Huo Ran felt much more relaxed.

While bringing it to the door, I thought about buying a map first.

When thinking about looking up, he was facing Han Moyan who just opened the door and was about to come out.
