Zhou Wenxuan sighed helplessly, "I can explain all of this."
Chen Ran crossed his arms across his chest, as if he were interrogating a criminal. "Okay, you talk, and I'll listen."
Zhou Wenxuan pinched her puffy cheeks lovingly, "First of all, I left my phone at the company that day, and you called, and Su Yi happened to hear it. It was really a coincidence."
"That time at Starbucks, we were working on an offer, and you just saw us sitting together, talking and laughing. If you had come closer, you would have heard that I was smiling at her because I mentioned you to her."
"Do you think I should believe it or not?" Chen Ran snorted lightly, his tone arrogant.
"You have to believe it." He stroked her head with his big hand, his tone gentle, "Ranran, I can't refuse the company's arrangement. If you really mind, I will resign after completing these projects and stay away from her."
Chen Ran couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "You have just joined the company not long ago, and your career has just started to improve. Are you willing to give it up?"
Zhou Wenxuan said firmly: "The only thing I am reluctant to do is to let you suffer with me."
"Ranran, I know Su Yi's feelings for me, but when I'm with her, I always have only one thought in mind, which is to work hard to complete these tasks and get bonuses and salary increases."
"I don't want you to think twice before turning on the air conditioner anymore."
When Chen Ran saw the water and electricity bill last month, he was dumbfounded.
After checking and comparing online, I found out that the air conditioner in the rental house is of level five energy consumption.
She is most afraid of heat. In summer, she turns on the air conditioner almost all day long, and even when she is sweating profusely, she has to take two showers.
If you don’t manage a household, you don’t know how expensive oil and salt are.
After the water and electricity bills taught her a lesson, she would rather endure the scorching heat than turn on the air conditioner.
This made Zhou Wenxuan feel distressed and guilty.
I see!
Chen Ran's mouth was almost stretched to his ears, but tears welled up in his eyes. "I'm not afraid of hardship, Zhou Wenxuan, I love you."
"I should be the one saying this." Zhou Wenxuan gently wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Ranran, I love you. You chose to be with me without hesitation. I don't want you to lose. I will spend my whole life proving to your parents how sincere I am to you."
Chen Ran choked up and said, "I won't let you lose either."
All misunderstandings were cleared up, and the two hugged each other tightly, looking at each other sweetly.
"Let's go home."
Zhou Wenxuan pulled the luggage with one hand and held her hand tightly with the other.
The scorching heat of their palms blended with each other.
Chen Ran's heart was filled with happiness.
"Wenxuan, look, that looks so sweet!"
Across the street, there is a stall selling colorful delicacies, and the tempting sweet aroma wafts into your nose.
"Yeah, just as sweet as us." Zhou Wenxuan pinched her nose lovingly, "Wait here, I'll go buy it."
"Yes, sir."
Chen Ran watched the man jogging away. The breeze made his T-shirt flutter slightly, and so did his long legs wrapped in jeans.
Even after entering society, he is still the same as when he was in college.
Clean, gentle and handsome.
She fell in love at first sight.
Zhou Wenxuan.
How come you are so handsome and so nice!
The man was holding two cigarettes and ran towards her on the zebra crossing. Chen Ran waved at him happily....
Crunch!
"Bang--"
Cars collided, the harsh sound of tires and brakes, and the shrill screams of passers-by rang out one after another.
But Chen Ran couldn't hear anything.
In his pupils, there was only the young body that was knocked away, and the blood that stained the fallen...
——
"...That's what happened. You and your boyfriend had a fight and reconciled that same day. But a serious car accident occurred that day, affecting several passers-by, Zhou Wenxuan being one of them."
Tang Yu told the viewers in the live broadcast room what happened that day.
[Half a month ago... I remember there was indeed a serious traffic accident that day, not far from my home. It was even on the news. Could it be the same one the anchor described?]
Some netizens also found the news from that day: [A man, after arguing with his wife, drank alcohol and drove the wrong way, causing a tragic accident. Five cars collided, and two pedestrians died on the spot. The scene was horrific.]
I remember this news story too... Oh my god, it turns out the guy who died was the girl's boyfriend. How despicable! So many families have been torn apart by drunk driving. I'm speechless. The country already has such strict penalties for drunk driving, so why do some people still break the law?!
[Drunk driving is now not only a criminal offense but also affects future generations. My great uncle's license was revoked for drunk driving. Not only did he have a criminal record, but it also affected my cousin's civil service exam.]
The deeply buried pain burst out as if it had found a gap.
Chen Ran's teeth were trembling.
"If I hadn't argued with him and ran away that day, if I hadn't wanted to eat... nothing would have happened to him. It's all my fault."
Tang Yu said: "After Zhou Wenxuan's death, you were filled with pain and guilt. Unable to bear it, you forgot the memory of his accident. In fact, you were the one who returned the house and waited in the company. Your colleagues also told you that Zhou Wenxuan was gone, but you still didn't want to believe it..."
[This is how it happened! I'm crying! This little sister is so miserable! I can't accept it either.]
[This isn't your fault. It's all the fault of the drunk driver. He harmed so many people and should be sentenced to death.]
[Alas, what about the death penalty? Her boyfriend will never come back.]
"That's right, he died because of one! Haha, he actually died, why didn't I die? It would have been better if I had died instead."
Chen Ran suddenly threw his head back and laughed so hard that tears came out, looking crazy.
Mother Shen was frightened and cried out: "Ranran, this is all an accident, you didn't want it to happen. If Wenxuan knew how painful you are now, he would not be at peace even if he left."
"How do you know? Did he tell you?" Chen Ran yelled, his eyes red. "Then you can ask him to tell me in person, okay? It's me who deserves to die. It's me who killed him!"
Many netizens felt sad and upset.
[At this time, any comfort is pale.]
If she hadn't been so insistent, running out of the house without listening to any explanation and insisting on eating something, how could this have happened? This kind of talk is just self-deception, an attempt to alleviate one's guilt.
[The person above, are you still human? Victim blaming theory?]
[Heh, what happened has happened. Unless the blogger makes Zhou Wenxuan's ghost appear, I don't think she will ever forgive herself.]
[Don't be too ridiculous, how is it possible?! ]
