We are passersby from now on

Chapter 35

Chapter three and five

After exchanging pleasantries wearing masks, the two with the same white-collar temperament sat in the coffee shop.

The waiter brought the menu, but Lu Ran didn't order anything, Zhuang Jing looked at the menu and seemed to want to order coffee, but was stopped by Lu Ran, she seriously warned Zhuang Jing with a standard and alienated smile: "You better not Order some coffee, you know that kind of stuff is hard to wash off when you get on yourself."

Zhuang Jing raised her eyes slightly, chuckled lightly, and ordered soda water.

"Did you mean to throw it on me just now?"

Lu Ran also smiled: "Ms. Zhuang, why bother to ask questions knowingly." She could bear with Han Moyan, but she didn't need to be patient at all with the woman in front of her.

"You hate me?"

Lu Ran returned quickly: "Yes."

Zhuang Jing laughed, and lowered her head slightly: "You probably think that I am a third party, but how do you know, in fact, you are not a third party to me?"

"That's what you want to say?" Lu Ran sneered. "For you? Just ask anyone on the street, and you will know who is the third party. It has been six years since you left. Are you embarrassed to say that others are the third party? If you sit here, you want to give I'll instill the logic of robbers in you, then... you don't need to say it."

Being blocked by Lu Ran's words, Zhuang Jing was also a little dazed for a while.

The waiter brought cold soda water, and the refreshing liquid made Zhuang Jing calm down.

Emotionally, she really has no way to beat Lu Ran, but...Emotions don't need reason. She only has one advantage, but it is also fatal, and that is Han Moyan.

Maintaining a calm attitude, Zhuang Jing still smiled gracefully: "But, Miss Lu, does he love you? Have you ever tried to fall in love?"

This is it again.

Why does anyone have to repeatedly emphasize this with her every time?

Lu Ran laughed back angrily: "Is falling in love so great? Falling in love again was six years ago, not now. Even though you were the one who was by Han Moyan's side before, it's not now, and it won't be again in the future. That's the point. "

After all, Lu Ran glanced at the glass tightly held in Zhuang Jing's hand, got up and was about to leave, but Zhuang Jing grabbed her wrist.

Just about to break free, I heard Zhuang Jing's voice.

"Miss Lu, don't be angry. Do you want to hear about his past?"

What would the Han Moyan of the past, the Han Moyan of six years ago, be like...

Lu Ran stopped in her tracks, and finally sat down: "Say what you want to say quickly."

"At that time, Han Moyan was immature, and he was not as aggressive and cold as he is now. Although he seemed difficult to get along with at first, he was actually very gentle and not difficult to get along with, and sometimes he was unexpectedly reliable." Zhuang Jing's eyes were stained with A trace of tenderness, "I remember one time when I had acute gastroenteritis at night, he rushed to the bottom of the dormitory and couldn't get a taxi, so he carried me all the way to the hospital for emergency treatment. I still remember running in a hurry, and he tripped, I would rather fall and hurt myself than let me get hurt a little..."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Ran didn't feel as sad as she imagined. Maybe she had guessed about these things before, so she didn't feel much when she heard it.

Yes, they were in love.

However, at that time, I hadn't appeared after all, and this was a fact that could not be changed no matter what.

Even in love, there will be first come, first served.

There was no choice but to accept it.

She even thought cruelly, the more they fell in love at that time, the more Han Moyan would be unable to forgive this kind of betrayal.

Sitting there, listening to Zhuang Jing talking about their past.

Another Han Moyan slowly emerged in Lu Ran's mind, still a little silent, not smiling often, careful and calm but occasionally childish, insisting on his own opinions but occasionally changing for the one he loves, and also regretting doing wrong things, He can also play tricks, and sometimes he is scary when he is serious. The most important thing is that he is not as lonely as he is now, nor is he as indifferent as he is now, indifferent to others and indifferent to himself.

Zhuang Jing took a sip of soda water and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you listen for so long."

Looking up, she found that Lu Ran was not as angry and sad as she thought. She just smiled politely at her: "It's nothing, thank you for telling me. But, do you plan to immerse yourself in these memories for the rest of your life?"

Zhuang Jing was taken aback.

There was a bit of cruelty in Lu Ran's smile: "It's sad to live in the memory all the time, because no one will wait for you in place. I don't know how you spent those six years abroad with peace of mind, but I can I am very serious to tell you that Han Moyan is no longer the idiot you were playing with six years ago. You can always deceive yourself into thinking that Han Moyan is still in your pocket. You're not young anymore, don't waste it anymore, find someone to marry as soon as you are old, this is the top priority, self righteous coveting other people's fiancé is not a good thing, and, I bet you won't succeed .”

Zhuang Jing's face became paler with Lu Ran's words, until it was even a little scary in the end.

Lu Ran ignored her and prepared to leave.

She is not the tragic heroine of novels and TV dramas. If this is the only way to get a leading actor, she would rather be a vicious supporting actress.

Turning around just now, I heard Zhuang Jing say: "If you want to gamble, then gamble. It's not yet known who will win." The voice was surprisingly calm.

Lu Ran turned around and smiled: "Have you finally stopped pretending?"

She didn't believe that this woman who had fought alone overseas and returned to her hometown with no relatives would be as pure and kind as a little white rabbit. Such a person would not be able to survive.

But it doesn't matter, whether there is scheming or not, Zhuang Jing has already chosen to let go, so she is not qualified to compete anymore.

*******************************************************************************
Lu Ran waited for a few days, going in and out with Han Moyan, but Zhuang Jing didn't show up again.

Du Han's gallery opened after the year, and Lu Ran took Han Moyan there. Although Han Moyan and Du Han's blind date failed, after all, there is no righteousness in business. What's more, Du Han has gradually developed towards Lu Ran's sister-in-law-to-be.

The gallery cut the ribbon and invited a few well-known painters to take along with two beautiful female stars, and even got a few local TV reporters to interview.

But after all, it is the weather of the twelfth lunar month of winter, so I didn't stay outside much, and it will officially open for business soon.

Originally, Lu Ran was afraid that Du Han's momentum would not be enough, so she specially bought two flower baskets and placed them at the door, but seeing that the row of flower baskets almost filled the entire street, she asked Du Han in a low voice: "Where did you get so many people? "He gestured to the two stars with his elbow, "I even brought the stars over."

Du Han was quite complacent, and hooked his fingers at Lu Ran: "They are all from the circle."

"People in the circle?"

Squeezing his eyes, Du Han slid three letters with his finger, "les".

Only then did Lu Ran notice that there were obviously more female guests than male guests, so she twitched the corners of her mouth: "Aren't you afraid that my brother will be angry?"

Du Han didn't take it seriously: "What's there to be angry with him? I've done good for him, and I'm not allowed to make a few friends?"

After waving at Lu Ran, Du Han laughed and said, "Okay, I'm going to receive the guests first, you and Han Moyan can go shopping casually, just take whatever you like, it's mine."

So, Lu Ran and Han Moyan, two people without artistic talent, went from the first picture to the last one in a formulaic way.

Neither of them are interested in this area. Speaking of it, Lu Ran played in an underground band for a while when he was in high school. There is only work.

In fact, there is nothing bad about it. Making money is not a bad thing after all.

After looking around, Lu Ran asked in a low voice, "Which one do you think looks better?"

Han Moyan pondered for a while, and replied honestly: "They are almost the same."

Lu Ran nodded: "I think so too, I don't understand..."

As soon as he said that, Du Han, who was entertaining the foreign guests, came running again, his expression was very happy: "How about it, are they all masterpieces, are they very characteristic of the times, do you see the "Old Boy Eating Apples"? It reminds you of Newton, Turing, a kind of missing confusion, and whether the structure of this picture of "Leaving the Journey" is illusory, or is it a kind of romantic and spiritual barrenness? Does it remind you of Seventeen The absurd literature of the century? By the way, this one..."

Han Moyan frowned slightly, and asked Lu Ran in a low voice, "What is she talking about?"

Lu Ran replied softly: "She's selling."

Sure enough, after the introduction, Du Han asked expectantly, "Which one do you like?"

Lu Ran couldn't bear to lose face, so he pointed casually: "Just this orange one, cough, it should be fine to hang in the kitchen." Satisfy your greed.

After a few seconds of silence, Du Han said blankly, "This is "The Burning Red Sun"."

Carrying "The Burning Red Sun", they finally escaped from Du Han's gallery, and both of them heaved a sigh of relief.

Lu Ran looked at the time: "Are you okay down here? I received a call yesterday. The engagement ring we ordered is ready. Do you want to go get it together?"

Han Moyan paused for a few seconds before saying, "Okay."

Sitting in the car, Lu Ran has gradually gotten used to the faint smell of gasoline and the vaguely cool atmosphere inside. He knocked on the picture frame with his knuckles one by one, and when he looked up, he saw the peace talisman he had hung on it. The dark blue kit, the red tassels swaying slightly, looks very auspicious in winter.

She suddenly thought of something: "Didn't you say you would borrow my car to drive?"

Han Moyan looked sideways: "Do you want to open it now?"

Looking at the crowded traffic, Lu Ran smiled: "How is it possible now, but I haven't driven for a long time, can you teach me?"

"Okay." Han Moyan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "After taking the ring, find a more open place."

The wedding ring is very simple, the ring is a crossed oblique cross, with a bright diamond inlaid in the middle, and the edges are embellished with small broken diamonds, shining brightly under the reflection of the light.

After all, Lu Ran was a girl, and it took a long time to put it back in the box after looking at it.

After all, this ring represented that her marriage with Han Moyan was about to come true, and it was unshakable.

As soon as he put it down, Lu Ran's phone rang. It was Lu's mother. After he answered the call, the power went off and he borrowed Han Moyan's personal mobile phone to make a call. .

Just as I hung up the phone, a text message suddenly came to my phone.

Lu Ran looked subconsciously, and there were two words on it: "Zhuang Jing."

Han Moyan's private mobile phone number has not changed since she met him, and it is normal for Zhuang Jing to know.

But Lu Ran always felt very awkward, and she clicked on the text message by accident.

There is a line of words on it, but it is obviously not from Zhuang Jing:

Are you a relative of the owner?She was hit by a car and is now in Central Hospital.

Lu Ran was taken aback, he didn't expect such a message, footsteps sounded in his ear, Han Moyan was about to come out soon, Lu Ran shook his hand, and the text message was deleted.

After she calmed down, she thought, it's not that Zhuang Jing doesn't have parents anyway, not to mention that Han Moyan and her are neither related nor related.

With a normal expression, Lu Ran returned the phone to Han Moyan as if nothing happened.
