Chapter 36

Thirty-six chapters

Putting the ring into the bag, Lu Ran kept his head down, inexplicably uneasy.

Zhuang Jing.

Even if you don't think about it, this person is still running between her and Han Moyan. Even if you don't want to admit it, Zhuang Jing still has an indelible mark in Han Moyan's heart... If Han Moyan knew just now...

"Lu Ran, Lu Ran..."

Hearing the sound, Lu Ran raised his head, and Han Moyan in the driver's seat changed the parking gear and asked, "How about right here?"

"what?"

Unbuttoning the seat belt, Han Moyan was also taken aback: "Didn't you just say that you want to learn to drive?"

It was only then that Lu Ran remembered that she was just saying it casually, but she didn't expect Han Moyan to take it seriously, restraining her emotions, Lu Ran blinked and smiled: "Okay."

The location I chose was in the outskirts of the country. Han Moyan taught very seriously, and Lu Ran was really a good student. It didn't take long for him to be proficient enough to go on the road, but it was inevitable that some newbies would be reckless. Lu Ran held the steering wheel tightly and stared at Looking at the road ahead, he looked tense as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"You don't have to..."

Lu Ran stopped the car, turned around and asked, "Huh?"

"Don't be so nervous."

Hearing the sound, Lu Ran relaxed a little bit, and said with a smile on his lips: "I'm a little too nervous."

Slightly let go of her hand, inexplicably relaxed, she has always been like this, she wants to go all out in everything, whether it is reading a book for Han Moyan, or trying to get close to him, she will do her best, but some things are not the tighter the grasp The more she can grasp it, even today, for her, she still feels uneasy, feeling... the person in front of her still seems out of reach.

Putting those thoughts aside, Lu Ran started driving again.

Back home, Zhuang Jing's text message unexpectedly appeared in front of her.

The inexplicable anxiety made her always feel that something she didn't want to see would happen. Looking at the time, it was past nine o'clock in the evening. Lu Ran hesitated for a while and was still carrying her bag to go out.

"Going out so late?" Mama Lu poked her head out of the closet, "You're getting married soon, why don't you restrain yourself?"

"I see."

Lu's mother thought it would be Lu Ran's retaliation, but she didn't expect that what was waiting was Lu Ran's faint sound, followed by the slight sound of closing the door.

The central hospital was not close, and it took Lu Ran half an hour to arrive.

At this time, the quietness in the hospital was even a little weird. Now that she had arrived, she didn't plan to back down, and went up the stairs after asking the front desk for the ward number.

There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the hospital. He walked to the floor and opened the door of the inpatient department.

The receptionist said that Zhuang Jing was out of danger, and she hadn't asked about the specific illness... Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly froze.

In the empty corridor, stood a familiar figure.

Realized that even hours before, he had been by her side.

The hand holding the doorknob just stopped, and Lu Ran suddenly didn't know how to continue, like a frozen TV screen, a sentence echoed in his mind.

How did Han Moyan know?
How did he know that Zhuang Jing was here?How did he come?Does he know that she deleted his text message?

Questions one after another, dizzying.

While she was hesitating, Han Moyan had already stepped into the ward.

Reason told her that it was best to leave here as soon as possible, as if nothing had happened, she was going to marry Han Moyan soon, and she couldn't make a mistake at this juncture.

But... how could she endure it?
Such self-deception.

In the end, he opened the door and walked towards Zhuang Jing's ward. The corridor was very quiet, and the lights in most of the rooms were turned off. When Lu Ran walked to the door, he could vaguely hear voices inside. What can't be heard.

He put his hand on the door panel, and at the moment he was about to knock it down, he stopped again.

Her hands were shaking, she was afraid.

She has never been without fear, and the fact that Han Moyan used to be Zhuang Jing probably still remains in her subconscious mind. Everything now seems to be stolen by her.

The door was suddenly opened, and Lu Ran spoke directly to Han Moyan.

A second or two of silence.

Lu Ran took a step back and turned around. She really wanted to leave now, the farther she went, the better.

"Lu Ran, why are you here?"

Lu Ran took a deep breath, without looking back, and asked him, "Then why are you here?"

"I'm here to visit."

Seeing Lu Ran's hesitant expression, Han Moyan closed the door and sighed imperceptibly, "Let's go out and talk."

There is a 24-hour coffee shop downstairs in the hospital. There are not many people at this time, and they are scattered in the corner in twos and threes, talking in low voices.

Lu Ran thought about many questions along the way, but when he really sat down, he couldn't ask a single word.

Sitting opposite was Han Moyan, she really couldn't keep her calm when facing Zhuang Jing.

Rubbing the coffee cup repeatedly with her fingers, she said softly, "Do you know she was hurt?"

Han Moyan nodded: "Well, someone called."

The voice was calm without any ups and downs, just like usual.

Lu Ran asked unconsciously: "...Aren't you curious about how I know?"

"The caller was the hospital. They said that a kind person had sent me a text message before, but I didn't reply." After a pause, he continued, "I think you must have seen it."

It turned out to have been discovered.

It's really embarrassing to behave like this.

The fingers holding the cup tightened, Lu Ran looked down at the foam floating in the cup: "And then?"

"what?"

After considering his words for a long time, Lu Ran asked lightly: "Does our wedding need to be postponed?"

"why?"

"Don't you blame me? And... You shouldn't be worried when you hear the news of her car accident? "

Han Moyan's answer was unexpected: "This has nothing to do with our wedding."

Hearing this, Lu Ran was taken aback for a moment, then slowly raised his head and looked at the man sitting across from him.

The lighting in the coffee shop was not bright, and the man's facial features became three-dimensional under the semi-dark light, much like some kind of stone sculptures used in painting classes or expressionless male models on the cover of magazines.

This seems to be the expression that has not changed since they met.

Han Moyan lowered his brows, and said helplessly in his tone: "What do you think will happen to me? Rekindle the old relationship with her, and then break up with you before the wedding...The reason is that you deleted my text messages?"

Lu Ran opened his mouth, and suddenly felt a little hard to speak.

Because in fact she did.

No matter how confident she is in front of Zhuang Jing, she still has a lot of doubts in her heart. How long have they known each other and how long have they been in love? This is something she will never get into.

"Han Moyan, do you really... have no feelings for her at all?"

His eyes fixed on Han Moyan involuntarily, feeling uneasy even he didn't realize it, anticipating but also afraid.

...It's not like Lu Ran in the past at all.

Han Moyan suddenly smiled: "Lu Ran, do you not believe me at all? What do you need to do to believe me?"

She has asked such a question more than once.

Lu Ran froze for a moment.

How could she believe it?

Listening to other people's narration, looking at the beautiful past they shared together, and even seeing Han Moyan's drunken gaffe when he first met Zhuang Jing, she really couldn't turn a blind eye.Even though I told myself time and time again that it was nothing, it was already a thing of the past, but the knot in my heart still existed and I couldn't get rid of it.

Suddenly, the phone rang in the coffee shop.

Han Moyan answered the phone, "Mmm", his brows became tighter and tighter, Lu Ran's heart sank, and he hung up the phone before asking: "What's wrong?"

Picking up the windbreaker jacket, Han Moyan said simply: "The doctor's call, you... come with me."

Zhuang Jing hit the back of her head and left leg. Her condition was stable at first, but she didn't know why she suddenly developed shortness of breath at night.

Following behind Han Moyan, watching him go about his business, just like he used to take care of her, Lu Ran's heart was filled with mixed feelings, which was indescribable.

Sitting on the empty plastic chair in the hospital, before he knew it, Lu Ran closed his eyelids and fell asleep.

When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found that I was wearing Han Moyan's coat. The central air conditioner in the hospital didn't work very well, but I felt warm for no reason.

The light in the corridor is very dim, and there are crackling sounds.

Lu Ran hesitated for a moment, then stopped.

At this time, is Han Moyan by Zhuang Jing's side? That's right. After all, she was the one who was seriously injured. There is nothing to say in terms of emotion and reason... But still...

"Do you want milk tea? The hot drink machine is broken, only milk tea."

He raised his head suddenly, facing the hand that Han Moyan handed over, holding the paper cup with his slender fingers, his face was shrouded in shadow, his outline was stern, and his expression was unclear.

Dumbly took the paper cup in Han Moyan's hand, his fingertips hurt.

Very hot.

Han Moyan held the bottom of the cup and took the cup again, and put it aside: "It's a bit hot."

"It's okay, the weather is a bit cold, it's good to be hot."

Lu Ran stubbornly took the paper cup, letting the scalding heat spread from her fingertips to her whole body.

There was a moment of silence, just as Lu Ran wanted to speak out, he was interrupted by the electric bell.

Zhuang Jing's ward.

Han Moyan only paused, then followed the nurse's footsteps into the ward. Lu Ran stood at the door, wondering if he should go in or not.

The nurse checked briefly, said with a smile, "Since I'm awake, there's nothing else to do" and left the ward.

Zhuang Jing's voice was as gentle and melodious as ever, a little sickly and even more pitiful: "Ayan, thank you."

Han Moyan replied indifferently: "You're welcome."

"You hate me so much, you hate me so much that you have to say such polite words to me?"

"No."

"Can I not tell my parents about my car accident?"

"It is your thing."

Zhuang Jing sighed lightly: "Ayan, do we have to do this?"

"Have a good rest." Han Moyan changed the subject, "Do you want to buy something to eat?"

"I'm not very hungry, can you get me some water?"

"it is good."

After finishing speaking, Han Moyan came out again.

Lu Ran couldn't help asking: "Are you going to guard her tonight?"

"Why?" Han Moyan looked at her suspiciously, "I'm just doing my duty as a friend."

She didn't want to make trouble for no reason, so she took the water glass from Han Moyan.

"I'll do your duty, you go back."

Han Moyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

After pouring the water, Lu Ran knocked on the door and walked in. Zhuang Jing was obviously taken aback when she saw it was her, but she reacted faster, pursing her lips and chuckling: "Are you so afraid of me seeing him?"

Her original intention was to stimulate Lu Ran.

Lu Ran answered "Oh" in a nonchalant manner, and then said more flatly: "It's a little bit, so you won't have a chance to see him again. The consultation fee has been paid for you, don't worry, I can call you if you have any questions." Friend, I don't believe you only know Han Moyan here."

Putting down the cup, Lu Ran was about to leave, but Zhuang Jing suddenly called out to her: "Miss Lu!"

Lu Ran didn't look back, but stopped in his tracks: "What's the matter?"

Zhuang Jing's expression suddenly became sluggish, and her voice was mixed with pleading: "Give me Han Moyan, please, I really love him, and I really regret it. I miss him all the time during the six years he left. He is going crazy, but I dare not come back, because I am afraid to see his indifferent appearance...Miss Lu, I am not young anymore, but you are still young and beautiful. With your conditions, I can definitely find someone better than Han Moyan , why do you want to grab a man who doesn't love you with me?"

"I really don't want to lose him, I beg you."

If you know today, why should you be in the beginning.

If you don't cherish yourself, you can't blame others.

Lu Ran held the doorknob and remained unmoved: "You are not the only one who loves him. You only loved him for a year or two, but I have loved him for six years. Do you think I will let go?"

With a sudden crash, Zhuang Jing fell off the hospital bed.

The drip bottle fell and shattered, and my injured left leg also drooped.

Lu Ran turned around in shock, but someone had already opened the door and came in to help Zhuang Jing who fell on the ground.

Zhuang Jing's face was pale, and she fell into Han Moyan's arms, clenched white fingers firmly grasping Han Moyan's coat, as if she would lose her breath at any moment, weak and vulnerable.

Such a beautiful and strong woman fell into your arms in such a posture of complete dependence, even Lu Ran felt a faint feeling of pity.

This is a woman who is naturally attractive.

but……

Clenching his fingers tightly, Lu Ran pulled away the wards and walked out.

If she didn't leave, she really didn't know what she would do.

The wind lifted the corner of her windbreaker, and Lu Ran suddenly wanted to light a cigarette.

It's not smoking, it's just lighting one, and temporarily paralyzing yourself in the fragrance of nicotine.

I searched all over my pockets and bags, but I couldn't find the cigarette, but I found the ring.

The wedding ring she just got was not too big or too small for the ring finger of her left hand. It is said that this is the place closest to her heart, but the beautiful diamond ring still couldn't stabilize her restless heart.

The phone rang suddenly.

After receiving it, it was Han Moyan's voice: "Lu Ran, where have you been?"

Lu Ran paused, and replied: "It's outside, I plan to go back."

"I'll take you back."

Lu Ran: "Okay, when are you coming out?"

Han Moyan was silent for a while, and there was a woman's voice on the other end of the phone. Lu Ran's patience suddenly ran out: "Forget it, you don't need to send it, I will go back by myself."

Then hang up the phone.

She is very firm and determined to marry Han Moyan.

But...but he couldn't confirm that Han Moyan was really willing to marry her.

If Zhuang Jing didn't disappear and kept pestering Han Moyan like this, then...she couldn't bear even one day like this.
