Chapter 50 When Xia Shi saw her for the first time, he was stunned...

Xie Ran was shocked that Gao Shule was able to handle other things with ease just twenty minutes after hearing the secret.

"Do you really believe what I said? Or..."

Or did you think she teamed up with "Gao Luo" to tease her? Xie Ran always felt that Gao Shule was too calm...like she was about to go crazy.

But Gao Shule did not go crazy, she quickly accepted the truth. However, he was still a little restrained when facing Xie Ran.

She made a request to Xie Ran: "Aunt, can you change back to A Luo first?"

She could only speak to A'Luo.

Xie Ran understood but was also very depressed. If he changed completely back to normal and no longer had A'Luo's "skin", would Gao Shule return to being the same as before and be silent when facing him? But they have been together for two months and get along very well!

Xie Ran walked into the room again, and when he came out he had turned into little A'Luo. She wrapped herself in a blanket and sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking at Gao Shule with a pout: "Can't you accept the fact that I am Gao Luo?"

Gao Shule quickly shook her head: "No, no, I... I just haven't gotten used to it yet."

Knowing in the heart is one thing, seeing with the eyes is another. She and Xie Ran had indeed not seen each other for a long time, and she always felt awkward talking to her while looking at her face.

Gao Shule brought the plate of sliced ​​watermelon over and placed it on the coffee table in front of Gao Luo, and even considerately gave her a fork.

Gao Luo didn't bother to be polite with her. She immediately forked a piece of melon and put it into her mouth, eating it angrily. Her cheeks were puffy, her straight nose was wrinkled, and her eyes were black and round. She looked very cute.

Gao Shule's nervous mood was relieved, and she suddenly remembered the scene when she first met A'Luo. At that time she was just like now, sitting cross-legged on the sofa eating. At first glance, it is amazingly beautiful.

Xie Ran has always been very beautiful, the prettiest of all the children in the Gao family. Gao Shule is the same age as her and she first met her when she was four years old. Although she didn't understand what aesthetics was at that time, she already vaguely knew that Xie Ran was different from others.

In the early years, the Gao family's relatives were not as distant as they are now. At that time, they could see each other six or seven times a year. Later, as the younger generations grew up, they met less and less frequently, and the conversations became shorter and shorter.

Gao Shule was impressed by Xie Ran every time she met her.

Before he was eighteen, Xie Ran's face hardly changed at all, and it could be said that he grew up proportionally. After she turned eighteen, she suddenly started to lose weight. The baby fat on her cheeks disappeared, her face became smaller, her chin became pointed, and her eyes were still long and bright, but their shape became more charming.

It might be the change in appearance that made Gao Shule feel unfamiliar and distant from Xie Ran. From that time on, they no longer had any communication.

As the years passed, Gao Shule thought that life would go on as usual. She could not have imagined that there would be such an opportunity for her to be together with A'Luo again.

There were many things I couldn’t understand before, such as why my uncles and aunts had a second child without telling anyone, why even A Luo’s uncle didn’t know she existed, and why Gao Luo looked so much like Xie Ran…

Now I know, because there is no second child at all, Gao Luo is Xie Ran. It would be impossible to believe it if I didn't see it with my own eyes.

"At that time, I came to my aunt and asked her to help find a child to accompany me to participate in the variety show, but my aunt actually didn't agree, right?" Gao Shule asked.

"Well, because my mother clearly distinguishes between patients and friends, and patients cannot be treated as ordinary relationships, so she can't introduce you."

"I understand. I've thought of it." Gao Shule paused and said, "Then why did you go with me?"

"I want to help you. I'm your aunt! It's only natural for an aunt to help her niece!"

It always sounds funny when these words come out of the mouth of this little guy in front of me.

Gao Shule's expression relaxed a little.

Gao Luo continued to reach out to fork the watermelon, and the quilt slipped off her shoulders, revealing her bare shoulders.

Gao Shule finally understood why she was wrapped in a blanket, because she didn't change her clothes.

When Xie Ran doesn't go out, he wears home clothes at home. She was wearing a short-sleeved satin shirt with a lapel. After it was sized down, the shirt became too loose for her and the collar would slide down her shoulders if she moved casually. So you have to wrap yourself in a blanket to prevent yourself from looking indecent.

Gao Luo was eating watermelon when she thought of something, "Will you let me follow you to film variety shows later?"

Gao Shule asked her back: "Why do you ask that? Don't you want to participate?"

"I want to, but I'm afraid you won't agree."

"Why?"

"I'm worried that you'll think I'm hiding this from you on purpose and that I've been teasing you all this time." Gao Luo explained, "I didn't mean to hide this from you on purpose, I just didn't know how to start the conversation. I was afraid you'd think I was a monster. I was also afraid that if you told others, everyone would think I was a monster."

Gao Shule blurted out: "I won't. How could I think of you as a monster, Luo? I won't misunderstand you either. I know you want to help me."

"real?"

"real."

Gao Luo looked at her while biting the fork. After a while, she suddenly smiled.

Humans are truly amazing creatures. Xie Ran always thought he was smart, but when he became smaller, he collapsed for a long time. Gao Shu is such a dull, simple and somewhat naive person, yet she can accept things that ordinary people cannot understand so quickly.

In this vast world, everyone is unique.

"So you will let me continue to accompany you to the variety show?"

"Of course!" Gao Shule lowered her eyelashes and whispered, "A Luo, I know now that there were many times when I would not have been able to pass this level without you."

Gao Luo understood Gao Shule's "this hurdle" as a challenge from other guests to her.

"That's right! You are so timid and you don't dare to conflict with others. If it weren't for me, you would definitely be bullied on the show. I can protect you!"

"……Thank you."

"You're welcome!"

Gao Luo squinted her eyes and smiled, then suddenly asked her, "Are you here to see me today? What's the matter?"

"Oh! Something happened!"

As soon as Gao Shule entered the room, she was shocked by the secret that came out of nowhere and almost forgot that she had something to tell her today.

Gao Shule took out her phone and showed it to Gao Luo: "Producer Liu contacted me and invited me to participate in the recording of "Cultural Sail."

Liu Shao watched the previous episode of "Wonderful Holiday" and saw Gao Shule's performance. He found that Wang Jing did not lie to him and that people did not make blind recommendations. Gao Shule was indeed very suitable for the positioning of the program "Cultural Sail".

Liu Shao thought, if he had known earlier, he would have agreed to Wang Jing. Now he has to take a detour from "Wonderful Holiday".

Gao Luo saw the message and said excitedly: "When, where, can I go? I want to be your audience!"

Her eyes were bright, and Gao Shule smiled: "You look like you are not going to be a spectator, but you have won the lottery."

"That's different. Being your audience is much more rewarding than winning the lottery."

Gao Shule was slightly stunned: "Why?"

"You are so good, you should go to a bigger stage." Gao Luo looked into her eyes and said, "Le Le, you are very, very good. You are gentle, tolerant, independent and resolute. You have put in more effort than ordinary people, and you will definitely reap extraordinary fruits!"

She spoke so seriously, and she truly believed that she could get the results she wanted.

Gao Shule realized it later: "You heard everything I said that night, right?"

Gao Luo was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around, pulled up the quilt, and whispered, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. You just said it next to my ear, so it's normal for me to hear it. I didn't know I put so much pressure on you. I feel sorry for you. In fact, you don't have to compare yourself with anyone, you are the best..."

As Gao Luo spoke, she quietly turned her head to look at Gao Shule, and saw that her back, which had been straight just now, had become shorter, and she was huddled on the sofa, her eyes looking towards somewhere in the void in front of her. His ears were red, and when he looked further ahead, his face was also red.

Gao Shule's current mood was filled with shame and embarrassment after her shameful little secrets in her heart were discovered. She wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.

It's not embarrassing at all. I thought the other person was asleep, so I whispered my thoughts to her. But I didn't expect that she was not asleep and heard everything I said. It would have been fine if he had just heard it, but the other party turned out to be the person involved.

What’s the difference between this and a diary being exposed in public and read out by the person involved!

Gao Shule couldn't sit still anymore and was about to pack her bag and leave.

Gao Luo wanted to keep the person but failed.

I thought Gao Shule was angry, but an hour later, I received a message from her: "I am under pressure. It's my problem, not yours. Ah Luo, don't say sorry to me. I never blame you."

Gao Luo replied: "Then we are still the same as before, right?"

Gao Shule sent a message: "Yeah, it's still the same as before."

Gao Luo struck while the iron was hot and arranged a time for her to meet next time: "Are you free tomorrow? Xia Shi's case is going to court, let's go and listen in together."

After more than a month, the lawsuit between Xia Shi and Feng Daiyue is finally going to court.

Gao Luo asked Xia Shi in advance, and he said that he would appear in court. If nothing unexpected happens, Feng Daiyue should also appear.

Both parties were present in person, so Gao Luo decided to go and listen to the trial. She wanted to see if Feng Daiyue would make a scene in court.

All the previous messages were responded to very quickly, but for this one, Gao Luo waited for almost half an hour before receiving a reply from Gao Shule. One word: "OK."

The next day, Gao Shule drove to pick her up. When she saw Xie Ran appearing as an adult, Gao Shule was stunned.

Xie Ran naturally took her arm and said, "Ah, it's inconvenient to be a child, just try to adapt to it."

Xie Ran felt Gao Shule's arm become stiff, so he pinched it with his hand and said with disgust and worry, "You have to drive, this won't work, don't get on the road and not know how to turn."

Gao Shule was amused by her and relaxed her body.

Gao Luo and Xie Ran are indeed the same soul, just with slightly different appearances, and she can adapt to that.

"Does Xia Shi know that you and Gao Luo are the same person?" Gao Shule asked after they set off.

Xie Ran said, “I don’t know.”

"Then you appear like this..."

"Bring clothes."

"What?"

"Gao Luo's clothes." Xie Ran took the clothes out of the bag and showed them to her. It was a little blue dress.

Gao Shule suddenly remembered that Gao Luo had always had a white long skirt and a pair of disposable slippers in her schoolbag.

"So, you carry these with you in preparation for 'this' time?"

"Yes, it's called buying an umbrella for a sunny day and preparing for a rainy day!"

Xie Ran sent the address of the court to Gao Shule's mobile phone. When they were halfway through the journey, Xie Ran suddenly asked her to change direction and go to the shopping mall in the city.

"Don't you want to sit in on the class? Are you not going?" Gao Shule asked.

"I'm not going. Feng Daiyue applied for a closed trial." Xie Ran pouted: "How boring."

In order to join in the fun today, she dressed up nicely. Don’t waste your makeup. Since you can’t go to court, go shopping.

Xie Ran hadn't gone shopping for a long time, so she went straight to the high-end luxury brand store after entering the mall. It happened to be the new autumn and winter stores, so she could shop to her heart's content in one go.

Several salespeople from brand stores recognized her and served her enthusiastically: "Ms. Xie, how come you have time to come to our store? Are you not busy with work recently?"

Xie Ran didn’t have time to go shopping before, so the salesperson would send the new products of the season to her mobile phone for her to choose, and then ask the employees to deliver them to her home.

Xie Ran flicked her hair and said, "I've quit my job. I'll have plenty of time to go shopping in the future."

When talking about resigning, Xie Ran felt extremely refreshed.

The salesperson was very considerate and said with a big smile on his face: "Then congratulations, Miss Xie!"

Xie Ran gladly accepted the other party's congratulations.

Xie Ran bought clothes and bags for himself and also for Gao Shule. They have similar body shapes, and when they see something nice, they each buy one.

Gao Shule kept shaking her head frantically the whole time, saying, "No, no, don't buy me any. I can't wear so many! And they're all too expensive!"

Xie Ran ignored her, and the salesperson ignored her at first too. She thought to herself that this person was so stupid that she wouldn't even want the item when someone else bought it as a gift. Fortunately, the God of Wealth didn't listen to her.

Later, she looked familiar, so I went up to her and asked, "Is this Gao Shule, Miss Gao?"

Before Gao Shule could react, Xie Ran answered for her: "Yes, she is Gao Shule."

Several salesmen came over when they heard this. "It's really Miss Gao! Your show is so popular. We all watched it. Can we take a photo with you?"

"Sure, give me your phone and I'll take the picture for you." It was still Xie Ran who spoke.

Gao Shule had never encountered such a situation before and felt a little helpless. Xie Ran helped her guide her posture, and even pressed his fingers on both sides of her mouth and pushed them up: "Smile a little."

After that, the same process will be repeated every time I enter a store. Gao Shule was so tired of laughing that Xie Ran suggested they go to the coffee shop on the first floor and sit down.

Finally able to stop and rest, no longer having to deal with those enthusiastic salespeople, Gao Shule walked into the coffee shop as if she had been pardoned, quickly found a seat in the corner, and slumped down on the seat.

Xie Ran said with emotion: "Our Lele is really famous. He is recognized by so many people. He will be even more popular in the future! He will also have good resources!"

Gao Shule mumbled vaguely: "I'm so tired..."

"You're complaining about being tired already? This is just a small fire. If it's a big fire, you probably won't be able to enter and leave the mall freely anymore."

One of the prices of fame is the loss of a free life. Although Gao Shule has always known this, she never expected that it would really happen to her one day.

She thought back to her past life and felt that everything that had just happened was so unreal, but she could really feel the physical fatigue at that moment.

After sitting in the coffee shop for half an hour, Xie Ran received a call from Xia Shi.

She answered, "Xia Shi, how come you have time to call me now? Is the trial over?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.

Xie Ran called out "Hello", and after a moment, an uncertain voice came from the phone: "A Luo?"

The word "A Luo" brought Xie Ran back to his senses.

They are all A'Luo, but you can tell whether she is calling Gao Luo or Xie Ran.

Xie Ran hadn't figured out how to explain why he received a call from him and asked him about the case in a familiar manner, but the other party spoke first.

"The mediation of the case is over. Now I'm out. Do you want to have dinner together later? I..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Xie Ran's surprised voice: "Mediation? You chose to mediate with Feng Daiyue? And the mediation was successful?"

Xie Ran no longer cared about whether it was appropriate for her to say these words given her identity. She was so angry that he chose to mediate even though he knew Feng Daiyue had a conflict with her and Gao Shule! Was the mediation successful? !

Before, he signed Feng Daiyue without her knowledge and invested resources in her debut. Now everyone knows that they had a conflict on the show, and she even fabricated dirty rumors and threw dirty water on him. Can this be reconciled?

A soft persimmon! No, it's a traitor!

"We can have dinner together later, and then I will explain it to you in detail..."

He couldn't even utter the word "release" because Xie Ran had already hung up the phone.

After Xie Ran hung up the phone, he said angrily: "Eating? Eat shit!"

Gao Shule didn't know what was going on, and asked her in confusion: "Was it Xia Shi's call? What did he say?"

"He said he and Feng Daiyue have settled the matter!"

"……ah?"

Gao Shule knew about the lawsuit and also knew that Xia Shi's attitude had always been tough. Like Xie Ran, she did not expect that Xia Shi would choose to mediate with Feng Daiyue.

Although she didn't understand, seeing Xie Ran so angry, Gao Shule was afraid that she might get sick from anger, so she thought about it and tried to comfort her: "Xia Shi has her own considerations when doing things. Maybe the mediation conditions proposed by Feng Daiyue are very suitable..."

Xie Ran glared at her, and Gao Shule immediately pursed her lips. After a while, Ruo Ruo asked: "Do you want to continue shopping? Or go home?"

"No more shopping, let's go home!"

I'm not in the mood at all.

*

Xia Shi knew that Xie Ran had misunderstood him and wanted to explain it to her in person. I called her but she didn't answer, so I went to her house to look for her, but found no one was home.

Xia Shi thought that he would definitely come back in the evening, so he stood outside waiting.

Xie Ran's family lives in a flat residential area in the core area of ​​Lincheng business district, with each household having an area ranging from 500 to 900 square meters. Xie Ran’s family bought an apartment of 780 square meters with two floors. They connected the two floors and made a high-ceiling design.

Outsiders need to make an appointment to enter the community. If they drive in, the license plate number will be detected, and if it is found that the vehicle does not belong to the owner, they will not be allowed to enter.

When Gao Shule visited for the first time, she greeted Xie Yanzhi and his wife in advance. Xie Yanzhi communicated with the property management and hung Gao Shule's license plate number on their house, so she could come and go freely every time.

Xia Shi did not do this when he came to dinner, but his car still drove in because he is actually the owner of this community. He has a house here, but he doesn't live there much.

Because he also has a house in Yunjing Bay, he lives in Yunjing Bay most of the time.

He had seen Xie Ran many times, mostly in the morning on the way to work, when she would drive past him from a distance and in a hurry.

He imagined that she would suddenly stop and look at him, but unfortunately it never happened. She didn't look at herself once.

Xie Ran looked very beautiful today. She was wearing a peacock blue halter-neck long dress, and her skin was glowing white. Her face was made up, and her eyes and eyebrows were bright and charming.

The first time he saw her, Xia Shi was stunned.

Xie Ran didn't know that he was waiting for her at the door of her house, and was suddenly stunned.

The person who was just furious, suddenly didn't know what to say to him or how to react when he thought that he should be a stranger to Xia Shi in his current state.

Xia Shi didn't say anything, he just stared at her. The more Xie Ran was stared at by him, the more guilty she felt, and the anger that had just been ignited was extinguished.

After a long while, Xie Ran spoke first: "Are you...looking for me? Or are you looking for A'Luo?"

Xia Shi finally came back to his senses after hearing this and opened his mouth, "Looking for you."

The voice was a little hoarse, and it didn't even sound like his own voice to him.

"Well, come in first." Xie Ran opened the door with his fingerprint and put down his handbag, "Drink..."

Xie Ran wanted to ask him what he wanted to drink, but when he turned around, he saw Xia Shi standing outside the door with his back to him and his head lowered, as if looking for something.

"What's wrong? Did you lose something?" Xie Ran walked over and wanted to help him look for it.

Xie Ran stood behind him and leaned forward.

She wore perfume today, a sweet woody scent. The scent of caramel mixed with almonds, vanilla, and cloves gently blew over him, enveloping his entire body.

Following closely behind was her slender body. Her shoulders accidentally rested on his back, just a light touch, allowing him to imagine the lightness and softness of her body.

Xia Shi suddenly took two steps forward, put one hand on his face and touched his pocket with the other.

What are you looking for? Don’t show it to her yet! Xie Ran was so curious that he followed him immediately, and kept asking him: "What are you looking for? Tell me and I will help you find it."

Xia Shi searched for a long time but found nothing. He had no choice but to ask Xie Ran: "Do you have...paper?"

"Paper? Yes, there's some in the room. Come in." Xie Ran called him in, but Xia Shi still maintained the same posture, with his back facing her, without moving.

Xie Ran suspected that there was something wrong with his ears and was about to say it again, but Xia Shi suddenly turned around and walked into the house.

His steps were big and fast, and he was in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry to find a toilet.

Hmm... could he really be in a hurry? What’s the point of looking for paper? You have to find a toilet!

Just as Xie Ran was about to tell him where the bathroom was, he saw Xia Shi come in, find a tissue on the table, and wipe his nose with it.

It turned out to be wiping his nose. Xie Ran understood that this person was very proud and didn't want him to see his snot running.

Thinking of his hoarse voice just now, Xie Ran said, "You are not catching a cold, are you? Did you use the air conditioner too much when you were sleeping?"

It is easy to catch a cold in the summer because the body's defense function will be reduced due to frequent exposure to cold and hot environments.

"I have medicine at home. I'll get it for you." Xie Ran said as he went to get him some cold medicine.

"No need." Xia Shi blurted out.

The two words sounded even hoarser than before, and the throat seemed to be dried out by fire and was smoking.

"Then I'll pour you a glass of water." Xie Ran thought to herself, hurry up and pour him some water, otherwise he would die of thirst in front of her.

Xia Shi looked at Xie Ran's back as he quickly walked into the kitchen. He felt helpless, but his heart was still pounding.

Xie Ran's skirt was backless. Her hair was loose when she went out, and she tied it up with a hair tie when she came back, exposing her entire back. When she turned around to open the door, her naked white back suddenly came into Xia Shi's sight.

At that moment, Xia Shi felt the blood boiling all over his body. With the last bit of rationality left, he suspected that he was having a nosebleed. That's why I turned my back immediately.

The first time they met formally, he had a nosebleed in front of others, which made him look so abnormal, but Xie Ran kept getting closer to him.

He searched his pockets for a long time but couldn't find a piece of paper, so he had to go into the house. I rubbed it with paper, luckily it was just an illusion.

Xie Ran poured the water and sat down opposite him.

Xia Shi opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and said, "Do you want to... change your clothes first?"

Xie Ran first glanced at the clothes on her body, then raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes wide, and asked him loudly: "Isn't it good-looking?"

This is a new dress she bought in the spring and she hasn’t worn it once this year!

Who is this person! I haven't even asked him about forgiving Feng Daiyue yet, and I kindly let him into the house to pour him some water, but the first thing he said was that he disliked her clothes?

Give him face!
