Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Almost all of them were acquaintances, the wanton laughter was deafening, and there was already a somewhat unfamiliar atmosphere blowing over their faces.

In a trance, it seems that the past five years are like a dream.

Someone pulled Lu Ran to sit down, and she smiled in relief.

So, chatting, drinking, games, dancing.

On the dance floor, watching the gorgeous lights sprinkled on her body, colorful and constantly changing.

Letting himself consume energy, the song ended, Lu Ran wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat at the bar and ordered a glass of fruit wine, the alcohol content was very low, after drinking a glass, he just felt a little cooler.

Lin Jing was full of energy, she was still twisting her waist, her expression was flamboyant.

Lu Ran took a sip of his wine and smiled unconsciously.

Someone came to Lu Ran's side and ordered a glass of whiskey.

Lu Ran glanced at it, and it was also the stall they had just now, but Lu Ran didn't know it, so he ignored it.

Unexpectedly, the man tapped his knuckles on the wooden tabletop of the bar counter, and spoke as if unintentionally, his voice was pleasant with a jade-like texture, and his words were clear and smooth.

"Lu Ran, long time no see."

Lu Ran was surprised: "You know me?"

Turning his head, the strange man's face was flickering in the dim and mottled light spots, the smile on the corner of his mouth was half a smile, and his slender eyes were slanted, but they were not ugly: "What do you think?"

This face can't be regarded as a passerby, Lu Ran pondered, and quickly searched for the corresponding name in memory.

The other party had already taken the wine handed by the bartender, holding the clear wine glass with slender fingers, the back of the hand was tense, and the lines immediately became three-dimensional, it was a pair of very beautiful hands.

He took a sip before slowly saying to Lu Ran: "It's fine if you don't remember it, and I don't think you can remember it either."

Lu Ran resisted the urge to curse, turned around to look at the dance floor, and ignored him.

The voice continued, with a hint of a smile: "Your temper is much better than before. Before, I'm afraid you would scold me directly."

Listening to a stranger say something that seems to know you very well, Lu Ran suddenly felt very ridiculous.

"Since you know it, you still come to provoke me. Is there something wrong with you?"

After all, put down your glass and leave.

The man seemed to be a little helpless and smiled: "Did you forget the people who spent most of your time in your junior year giving you surprise tutoring?"

Lu Ran was really surprised this time.

After looking at that person up and down, he asked later, "Brother Xiang Yan?"

The other party smiled and nodded: "I thought you had completely forgotten me."

How can I forget, that whole year of hell-style study, throwing away the textbooks for more than ten years, once I want to pick them up, how can it be so simple?

Memories slowly spread through my mind. Those days were really hard. Xiang Yan, as a tutor hired by her family, naturally also worked hard with her, but fortunately, Xiang Yan was used to being a tutor and was patient enough. Two times, three times, even ten times and dozens of times, starting from the most basic.

She is not a person who has the patience to learn at all, but she just wants to be closer to that person, to be worthy of him, so she always clenched her teeth and persisted.

After that year, she was able to keep up with the progress. Xiang Yanye graduated from university and applied for a company in another province. They never saw each other again.

When I saw my old friend again at this moment, my emotions for a moment were indescribably complicated.

But... Recalling back then that senior brother Xiang Yan who wore thick black-rimmed glasses and always wore an old white-washed shirt with messy hair like a chicken coop, who was not good at speaking except for lectures, she really couldn't compare him to now This... this person connects.

So, Lu Ran simply asked his doubts: "Brother Xiang, did you go for plastic surgery?"

Xiang Yan almost spit out half of his drink.

Coughing and blushing, he said, "Ahem...do I look so different?"

Lu Ran nodded.

Xiang Yan laughed loudly: "everyone has said that since I came back to work here. Do you think I have become a lot more handsome?" He said, leaning against the bar, letting the colorful lights shine from his eyes. Sliding across his cheeks, Xiang Yan's facial features have never been ugly, but now he looks lazy, coupled with the smile on his lips, in terms of color, it is indeed very pleasing to the eye.

It's a pity that no matter how good-looking she is, she is not as good-looking as that person in her eyes.

It was rare for Lu Ran not to say anything ugly, but he just held up his wine glass and said with a sigh of emotion: "It's been a long time. It seems that you are doing well now."

"It's not good or bad, at least you don't have to worry about three meals a day, and you can still support your parents." Xiang Yan restrained his smile and asked, "What about you now? Are you doing well?"

Lu Ran shook his head with a smile: "How can you be proud of yourself. I just lost my job."

Xiang Yan didn't think it was strange, but said, "That's right, which boss can bear your outburst, and copied the boss squid again? But, it's no big deal, just let your parents arrange another job you like. .”

Looking down at the crystal liquid swaying in his hand, Lu Ran was silent for a moment.

After playing with it for a while, he raised his glass and drank the remaining wine in one gulp, before Lu Ran showed his face and said, "They didn't recognize me three years ago, don't you know?"

Xiang Yan said "ah" and didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Ran patted him on the shoulder and smiled nonchalantly: "So don't continue to treat me like a dude, let alone how can I be as bad as you think?" Standing on one side and beckoning to her, "Okay, I'll go first, see you later."

"and many more."

Xiang Yan called her to stop, quickly took out a beautiful business card from his shirt pocket and handed it to her.

The beautiful eyes are narrowed, and the expression is a bit sly: "My business card, I just came here, and I just need an assistant. If you are unemployed, I welcome you to come, and the treatment will be favorable."

Lu Ran looked at the business card and then at Xiang Yan, this time he really smiled: "I see."

When Lin Jing came over, she showed a knowing expression.

Lu Ran didn't bother with her, and used the excuse of going to the bathroom to avoid Lin Jing's possible questions.

While washing his hands, he suddenly heard a slight whimper of a woman coming from a certain compartment.

She has never been a nosy person, not to mention that the bar can't be too clean, but... the voice was familiar when the water was turned off. Thinking of the back of the familiar woman she saw just now, Lu Ran just paused, He strode forward and kicked the door of the compartment.

The voice in the compartment fell silent for an instant.

In the next second, a man's rude curse echoed out.

Lu Ran slammed on the door, and the door suddenly opened under the constant scolding.

The disheveled woman was pressed to the ground, her arms were trapped, and she was struggling in an extremely embarrassing situation, while the man's belt had been half untied.

Without even thinking about it, Lu Ran kicked up.

When she was a child, her parents sent her to learn martial arts for a period of time out of fear that she would be bullied. It is different from the airs of Taekwondo. This is real kung fu.

Being kicked hard to the ribs, the man immediately bent over in pain, and Lu Ran kicked him to the ground with both feet.

The more you practice, the more you will know where to exert the most irresistible force.

Just when he wanted to pick up the woman, he didn't want to, but the target didn't seem to see her, but struggled again.

Lu Ran couldn't bear it, so she shouted: "Miss Li Xiaoying!"

That woman seemed to wake up from a dream, and raised her tear-stained face to look at her, with makeup on her face one by one.

It was so ugly that Lu Ran could hardly connect her with the arrogant and glamorous lady from a rich family who was always exquisitely made up.

The woman's eyes lingered on her face for a long time before she choked up and asked tentatively, "Lu, Assistant Lu?"

Lu Ran felt even more impatient. Yes, the reason why she knew this woman was because she was Han Moyan's ex-girlfriend.

In terms of her friendship with this woman, no, it’s not friendship, it’s just a relationship, there is no need to save her. During the days when Han Moyan regarded herself as his girlfriend, this woman often made things difficult for her and ordered her to do this and that, just like a Han Moyan. The appearance of the young lady at home.

He would save her only because...

because of what...

Lu Ran hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, the woman seemed to be a little sober, shook her head, and shouted at her still crying: "Why do you want to save me, you let Han Moyan come over, that bastard Han Moyan, why don't you want me... woo woo ..."

Lu Ran knelt down to help Li Xiaoying untie the rope tied around her hands, and said to her coldly, "I have resigned, and I am no longer Han Moyan's assistant."

She thought of a reason.

He would save her simply because she was the only woman who would go to Han Moyan's office and cry for peace after being dumped by Han Moyan.

She really loves Han Moyan.

Silly as she is.

After hearing Lu Ran's words, Li Xiaoying settled down.

After untying the rope, Lu Ran was about to walk out.

Li Xiaoying's voice came from behind, probably really waking up, and there was a bit of arrogance of a rich lady in her tone: "Hey, you just left like this, I can't get up."
Lu Ran replied without expression: "That's your business."

As soon as these words came out, both of them were a little stunned.

Because Han Moyan said the most.

After realizing it, it was Li Xiaoying who spoke first.

She looked at the tiles on the ground in dismay, and suddenly raised her head, her voice might be self-deprecating or ironic: "Lu Ran, you actually like Han Moyan too."

"So what?" Lu Ran didn't deny it, and it wasn't necessary.

Li Xiaoying suddenly smiled, her smile was desolate: "It's nothing, I just feel that we are really miserable."
