Chapter 26

Twenty-six chapters

Lu Ran never thought that Han Moyan could really cook.

There are not many things left in the refrigerator, tomatoes, eggs, ham, and a cabbage. I don't know where Han Moyan found a blue and white plaid apron. He quickly cut up the tomatoes, ham, and cabbage, and started frying them.

Han Moyan's movements were quick, and the posture of cutting vegetables with his eyes down did not consciously carry the seriousness of work.

Under Han Moyan's concentrated expression, there was an indescribable taste in that almost perfect profile.

The cooking was very fast, and Han Moyan brought out two plates not long after.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried ham with cabbage, and Lu Ran's stewed yam pork ribs soup are enough for a table.

It was the first time to eat at Han Moyan's house, the corners of Lu Ran's mouth raised uncontrollably, and the cold room was a little angry because of the sudden smell of oily smoke wafting from the kitchen.

They are not talkative people, only the occasional sound of chopsticks touching dishes is left for a while.

Although it was not a delicacy, the taste of the two stir-fried dishes kept spreading between Lu Ran's lips and tongue, and the seven-point deliciousness was magnified to ten.

It didn't take long to be swept away by Lu Ran.

Putting down the chopsticks, I heard Han Moyan's voice: "Are you hungry?"

Lu Ran, who was drinking soup, almost choked, coughed twice, changed the topic and laughed: "How do you know how to do it?"

"I lived alone in college."

Without saying much, Han Moyan just said a word.

The atmosphere was so good that Lu Ran didn't want to think too much about it.

The courier that Han Moyan just picked up is still on the table. From Lu Ran's perspective, you can see the printed text on the courier slip:
Sender: Han Sen
It seems that Han Moyan also thought of this package, and opened it without hesitation. Inside was a document. Han Moyan silently glanced at it and put it back into the small box.

Lu Ran was a little curious.

"It's just a real estate transfer document." Han Moyan twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, but didn't smile much, and added, "Birthday gift."

If he was just an ordinary person, his son would probably be moved by such a gift, but for Han Moyan... such a father-son relationship is too chilling.

She has worked for Han Moyan for three years, and she has never met Han Moyan's father, her nominal chairman, a few times.

In comparison, he at least has an elder brother who depends on each other, but Han Moyan has always lived alone.

He opened his mouth, but Lu Ran didn't know how to comfort Han Moyan.

Han Moyan had already stood up, picked up his coat, glanced at the wall clock and said calmly: "It's getting late, I'll take you back."

Nothing was lost or hurt.

Lu Ran suddenly felt that he was ridiculous just now. Han Moyan didn't need comfort. The man in front of him was strong and calm. In the past three years, he had never seen him lose his composure or be sad.

However, how can people not be sad and sad when they lose?

Or... no one can make him like that?

Leaning against the window and looking at the neon lights outside the window calmly, the evening breeze is cool.

Lu Ran's eyes wandered, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the red light, Han Moyan suddenly said again: "There are photos from last time in the cabinet door in front of you."

Lu Ran opened the cabinet door, and there were a bunch of photos placed diagonally inside. The first one was a profile photo of a person.

Behind her was the golden beach and the blue water, but her eyes were so empty that she couldn't stay there.

And this person is her.

Lu Ran silently took the photos, took out the first one, and then scrolled down.

The rest are the scenery photos by the beach, the sand, the seagulls, the sky, and the white clouds, each one is very distinctive and eye-catching, but she can't see it no matter what.

One sentence kept echoing in my mind: Is it really me who Han Moyan took the photo?

After finally putting back the landscape photo, Lu Ran took his own photo and took a closer look. The people in the photo are not amazing. The only thing that impresses people from the beginning to the end is the emptiness in the eyes at that moment. .

For a moment, the photo seemed to come alive.

Lu Ran stared at the photo for a long time until Han Moyan's car stopped at home.

Maybe Han Moyan didn't even know it, but he made her understand for the first time that it was not difficult to be satisfied.

Maybe not much, but Han Moyan... was changed by her at least a little bit.

*******************************************************************************
The weather is getting colder, and the smart and beautiful autumn clothes are gradually replaced by thick windbreakers, and all kinds of scarves can be seen everywhere.

The streets are already filled with the festive atmosphere of the coming New Year.

He worked overtime, accompanied Han Moyan on business trips, held numerous conferences and meetings, and finally negotiated a big project at hand, and he could rest for two days to catch his breath.

The first snow of this winter came unexpectedly.

Outside the window, snowflakes swirl and fall softly, fluttering silently, covering the sky above the city, forming a thick texture, white and dazzling.

Lu Ran turned his attention away from the snowflakes, planning to propose to Han Moyan to eat self-made hot pot.

After Han Moyan’s birthday last time, Lu Ran also opened a stove several times at Han Moyan’s house. Anyway, Han Moyan’s beautiful and exquisite kitchen is a waste if left unused. a hostess.

So it didn't take long for her proposal to be agreed by Han Moyan. It is indeed a good choice to eat hot hot pot in cold weather.

After getting off work, Lu Ran took out a long food list from his bag. Han Moyan looked at the list and was speechless for a moment, but he didn't say anything.

Lu Ran smiled very happily.

She has selfish motives, and most of the food she chooses is food that needs to be processed. She misses Han Moyan's profile when he is serious about chopping vegetables.

In the supermarket, Han Moyan, who was wearing a black windbreaker, was pushing the cart with a blank expression. Lu Ran raised the corners of his mouth and read the labels while filling the cart. He walked and watched, and at first glance, it really looked like they came out together. Wedding couple shopping.

After walking around for a while, a hearty voice suddenly came: "Hey, Han Moyan, you are Han Moyan!"

Lu Ran and Han Moyan turned their heads to look at the same time, only to see a tall man waving at Han Moyan exaggeratedly.

"Hey, I really didn't expect to meet you here, brother, we haven't seen each other for seven or eight years!"

"Yes, Senior Zhang Yizhou." Han Moyan's voice was unusually calm.

The other party seems to be overly enthusiastic: "Don't be so unfamiliar, even if you go abroad, I will always remember you, genius elementary school boy! At that time, you will be the most popular, and the girls chasing you will have to line up from the east to the west of the school. , but you are so envious of us, how is it, how are you doing now... Hey, who is this?"

"I'm fine, she's my girlfriend."

That Zhang Yizhou immediately showed an expression of fascination for a long time, and extended his hand generously: "Sisters and sisters, let's get to know each other. I am Han Moyan's senior. Compared with him, I am useless, but I am lucky. I went abroad to eat a few years ago. Mei Dimi has gone. We used to think about what kind of girl could take down Han Moyan, but today we saw it, tsk tsk, this kid is really lucky..."

Lu Ran also smiled: "Nice to meet you, my name is Lu Ran."

"By the way, Junior Brother Han, our department will hold three outstanding student gatherings next week, so you should go!"

"I still have……"

"Don't disappoint, it's not just me, those who went abroad have come back this year, like Yan Yan, Li Chuan, Xu Xiaomin, and even Zhuang Jing just arrived yesterday! It's a pity not to come to get together!" He said, Zhang Yizhou even squeezed his eyes, "Remember, bring your siblings with you."

Lu Ran was keenly aware that when he heard "Zhuang Jing", Han Moyan's body stiffened unconsciously, and his voice was particularly low when he spoke.

"You mean...Sister Zhuang and Jing?"

She turned her head to look at Han Moyan, her expression was also a little stiff.

"Yeah, don't say you forgot, isn't she the latest to leave, and she was tying flowers before I left."

Han Moyan sneered, and Lu Ran felt cold when he heard that voice: "Yes, I remember."

The other party may also have noticed that something is wrong, and hurriedly said: "Then it's settled, we will contact you when the time comes, we must come! I have something to do, so I will go first. Goodbye."

Han Moyan continued to push the cart, as if nothing had happened.

Lu Ran followed him, and suddenly, he didn't want to talk anymore.

Silent all the way, back home.

After eating the hot pot silently, Lu Ran made a few jokes, Han Moyan behaved as usual, and there was nothing unusual about it.

The more this happened, the more uneasy she felt.

But I don't know how to vent it.

In the next few days, Han Moyan kept hiding it very well. When Lu Ran almost encountered that day in the supermarket was just her illusion, she finally found out that Han Moyan was wrong.

One day, Lu's mother had something to ask Lu Ran to go home early. When she got back, she found a planning document to be left on the company computer, and took a taxi back to the company.

In the dead of night, only one or two lights were on on the floor.

After copying the materials, Lu Ran habitually looked towards Han Moyan's office. There was no one there. Just as he was about to go back, he accidentally saw Han Moyan smoking at the end of the corridor.

Approaching softly, I saw cigarette butts and ash all over the cold ground.

When one cigarette was burned out, he took out a second one and lit it.

The posture is skillful, the eyes are indifferent.

Different from the usual coldness, at this time he is like a beast that has exhausted its strength. Watching the hunter approach step by step, struggling but powerless, the indifference makes people feel heartbroken.

Lu Ran's heart suddenly ached, and he pursed his lips and thought, didn't he just know that Zhuang Jing was back, what about it?
However, the more I thought about it, the more unspeakable something came to my heart.

She didn't dare to look any more, and walked so fast that she almost ran out.

That night, Lu Ran, who had always slept well due to the exhaustion of work, couldn't fall asleep no matter what, and stayed awake all night until dawn.
