The person who dragged Gou An away was none other than He Ran's uncle, He Jinxing, who had met Lu Wan once.

Mr. He didn't look like someone who would always meddle in other people's business. After he sent Lu Wan to the hospital that day, he didn't do anything extra.

Or if it were someone else, they would inevitably think that this handsome man was trying to take the opportunity to get close to a beauty hunter, but after He Ran showed up that day, Mr. He did not linger in the ward, and when he left, he did not even come in to say goodbye to her.

But tonight was different.

Perhaps because the person who was attacked was a younger person he knew, Mr. He held Gou An in his arms at this moment, showing a very protective attitude.

He had a strong aura, like a natural barrier. After he descended from the sky, no one dared to come within five meters of him... At this moment, he leaned forward slightly and lowered his head, seemingly speaking patiently to the person who was covering his suit and was still struggling.

Watching the two people disappear behind the stage curtain, Lu Wan bit his lower lip, feeling an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.

At this moment, she was completely exhausted and was able to stand only with the support of He Ran's arm around her waist.

I was helped to sit down on the nearest chair in a daze, and then I heard someone ask, "Did you kill Gou An's cat?"

Before she could come to her senses, she vaguely heard someone asking her this, and she sobbed and whispered, "I didn't mean it. I've never had a cat, and I don't know that cats can't stay in a room with lilies..."

As she spoke, her voice gradually became quieter. She raised her head, hoping to get some comfort. Her eyes swept across the crowd around her who looked embarrassed after hearing her answer, and finally stopped at He Ran.

He Ran took his hand off her shoulder, hesitated, and said, "Wanwan, I have to go see her."

Lu Wan was stunned.

There were waves in his eyes.

Before today, she had never felt that Gou An posed any threat to her. He Ran had always been very kind to her. The information she received was that He Ran was very angry that Gou An had deceived him and pretended to be his savior. The two of them were already discussing breaking off their engagement...

These were told to He Ran by her friends.

Although their relationship has not been confirmed yet, they even jokingly call her "sister-in-law" when they get together.

At this moment, without waiting for Lu Wan's approval, He Ran was obviously not prepared to wait for her definite answer. He stood up straight and turned around to leave.

As soon as he took a step, Lu Wan grabbed the index finger of his right hand.

Turning back, the girl looked at him pleadingly with red eyes and whispered, "He Ran, don't go."

He Ran pursed his lips silently, and said in a voice that only they could hear: "We haven't canceled the engagement yet. If I don't go, my uncle will be angry and tell my family, which will be even more troublesome."

Is this really the case?

Disbelief flickered in Lu Wan's dark brown eyes, which were bright because of tears.

In fact, it wasn't just Lu Wan. He Ran himself didn't believe what he said.

But he still left, leaving Lu Wan crying again, even though she said in a sobbing, soft and hoarse voice the moment he turned away: "Think it over, if you leave, we will never talk again."

Unfortunately, He Ran seemed not to hear what she said and walked away without looking back.

When the backstage curtain was lifted by the late-coming young man, Gou An had already changed into clean clothes.

After hearing the whole story, the first-grade girl quickly changed sides and lent her her clean shirt temporarily.

The junior high school girl was 1.72 meters tall, and the white men's shirt was a little big for Gou An, covering half of her palm. He Ran took a quick look at her and his pupils immediately shrank.

"Where did the clothes come from?"

He took three or two steps to Gou An and asked.

Gou An was hiding in the shadows in the corner of the backstage, sitting on a small armchair with her knees hugged, curled up into a ball.

After hearing He Ran's voice, she looked up at him somewhat dully and numbly, paused, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The voice that usually sounded soft and coquettish now sounded cold.

He Ran was stunned for a moment, and looked into a pair of dark eyes. The eyes were as dark as an unfathomable bottomless icy lake, staring at him.

When the camera was pointed at Lu Wan just now, it inevitably captured He Ran who was beside her. So even though he was standing on the stage in the chaos, Gou An saw his fiancé and his girlfriend, just like Shan Wuling, Tiandi He, Ziwei and Erkang, Shuhuan and Yiping, hugging each other tightly.

——What a great irony.

At that moment, Gou An was stabbed in a useless way. At the same time, she inevitably realized why Gou An in the original novel hated Lu Wan so much...

Gou An might not like He Ran, but that was the companionship of their childhood and the engagement they had made when they were babies.

The young man in front of her was tall and handsome, with a good heart. Perhaps he was even good enough compared to his peers. She once thought that although they did not like each other, if something happened, he would at least stand on her side.

Friendship is good too.

Childhood sweethearts.

He was the boy she would see every day when she went out with her breakfast, turned left, waved at him, and asked him if he wanted to go to school together.

But she was completely wrong.

When she was hit by a drink, he held another girl who was unharmed but in tears, and just watched from afar, without moving.

That's enough.

Gou An is indeed the top team leader of the cowardly group. She can apologize to He Ran for her previous deception, but she will not allow herself to continue to be a big idiot.

She just wanted to apologize to the audience for having had the slightest expectation of He Ran.

At this time, the two of them fell into a strange silence. He Ran was a little worried when he found that Gou An seemed to be too lazy to even argue with him. It could be said that he was too lazy to pay attention to him. He still wanted to make a few excuses...

But he couldn't say the words.

"Why don't you wait until tomorrow morning?"

A plain male voice sounded, and the two people who were standing in silence turned their heads. They saw a man bending over and walking in from behind the curtain with his suit jacket casually draped over his shoulders and his white shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

When He Ran realized that He Jinxing's clothes were worn properly on him, his first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.

Before he had time to think about why this happened, He Jinxing had already come up to the two of them and handed a paper cup in his hand to Gou An.

He Ran thought Gou An would refuse.

After all, in the past, when she saw He Jinxing, she wanted to stay three meters away from him.

Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't hide this time. She leaned forward and put her pink nose close to the paper cup handed over. She sniffed it and showed a resistance expression after a moment: "Hot chocolate? I don't drink colored things now."

Obviously, the opened bottle of Coke left him with a traumatic experience.

He Jinxing glanced at her, put down the paper cup, and commented with two words: "Pretentious."

He Ran next to him seemed to remember something and reached out to grab Gou An's wrist: "Where did the Coke hit you just now? Let me see--"

Gou An dodged backwards and avoided his hand.

He Jinxing just stood by and watched, without any extra expression as he saw his future niece-in-law avoiding her nephew like the plague.

He Ran is a little bully.

As the eldest grandson in the family, although Grandpa He ordered him around every day, he actually doted on him and inevitably spoiled him to the point of developing the temper of a spoiled brat.

So now that he saw Gou An avoiding him like this, besides feeling a little guilty, he was also more panicked.

Frowning fiercely, he muttered "Stop it" and reached out to grab Gou An's arm forcefully.

His brows suddenly furrowed.

"To the hospital."

"Let go."

They both spoke at the same time.

Before he put down his sleeves, Gou An fiercely pushed He Ran away and said, "Don't worry about me. Go find your girlfriend."

He Ran staggered back a meter, and He Jinxing kindly helped him up. Facing his nephew's completely tense emotions, the man raised his eyebrows jokingly, as if he quite enjoyed watching this show.

"What girlfriend?" He Ran was a little flustered. "My uncle is still here——"

"You dare not admit it? He... He - Uncle has already seen the school forum. Who are you acting for?"

He was so angry that he cursed at people and did not forget to use the name that had just been corrected.

He Jinxing found a chair and sat down, looking at the little girl's red face, with no emotion in her eyes. In fact, he was quite satisfied that her memory had finally improved.

He Ran, who had his back to him, didn't see it at all. He didn't even have time to ask Gou An where the term "uncle" came from. There were too many things he wanted to clear up right now: "Don't listen to those people's nonsense. I never said that Lu Wan and I were dating! What are you doing here making random guesses? I didn't mean to not come over just now. She was crying like that, what could I do? Besides, I'm here now!"

"Yeah!"

"yes!"

“Die!”

"What!"

"What kind of man is it to dare to do something but not admit it? Oh," Gou An suddenly had a bad idea and stopped abruptly, "So what are you trying to prove to me now?"

"What? What are you talking about?"

"He Ran, just announce that I am your fiancée. After you make the announcement, I will believe whatever you say."

"……?"

Gou An looked at the boy's face in front of him which froze in an instant. This time he didn't feel sad at all and sneered loudly.

She was just trying to organize her words to ridicule this fool, but at this moment she saw the friendship level above He Ran's head flashing wildly, and then "swoosh", it jumped from [45] to [50]! Gou An was so shocked that her eyes widened. She hadn't figured out what was going on with Young Master He's train of thought -

He pulled his arm over again.

She wanted to snatch it back, but He Ran frowned and scolded her, "Don't move." Then he took out his cell phone and took a picture of her injured area.

After taking the photo, he lowered his head and pressed a few buttons on his phone, typing a few words. About half a minute later, he threw the phone back to Gou An.

Gou An picked it up for no apparent reason and took a look. Only then did he realize that the screen on his phone was the WeChat Moments interface.

[He Ran: Well, I won’t sleep tonight. I was supposed to give a good speech to freshmen but it turned out like this. Thank you to the ignoring crowd for their “heroic act”.

I sent my wife to the hospital overnight.

"picture"】

The picture shows Gou An’s arm.

The Moments are public, and there aren’t even any group-visible labels below.

When Gou An took the phone, less than a minute after posting to his circle of friends, there were already countless replies such as “…”, “?”, “Ahhhhhh”, and “OvO my eyes are as big as copper bells”.

Gou An: “…”

no……

ah.

This? She just said it casually. Is this person crazy?

Without hesitation, she deleted the post on her Moments with a gloomy face.

He Ran watched her delete her Moments and became anxious. He reached out to grab the phone, "Why are you deleting it? You didn't ask me to post it!"

He snatched the phone back and restored the circle of friends that had just been deleted and posted it again.

This time, it was visible to the naked eye that the number of likes and comments increased rapidly at a speed of half a second. Even if you glanced from a distance, you could see countless exclamation marks filling the screen!

Gou An was so anxious that she had changed from sitting on the chair to standing on it (this way she was a head taller than He Ran), and the two of them were fighting over the broken phone -

The situation was getting quite chaotic.

Gou An suddenly stopped.

He Ran was stunned and looked at her strangely: "What are you doing?"

Gou An pointed at the phone he held high and said, "Three seconds ago, Lu Wan left you a question mark in a private message."

He Ran suddenly lost his voice.

Gou An's hand, which was about to grab the phone, hesitated for a moment, and after a few seconds it fell down. He patted the stunned boy's shoulder and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, you've already had an accident. If she hasn't deleted you as a friend, I'll wash my hair upside down."

He Ran: “…”

Gou An jumped off the chair, ignoring He Ran who was lying there like an ice sculpture, and looked at He Jinxing——

The latter had finally had enough of the farce, and at this moment, he used his mobile phone to like his nephew's fresh official announcement on WeChat Moments, and raised his head, "Hospital?"

Gou An was very annoyed with He Ran and didn't want to stay with He Jinxing.

She shook her head and said obediently, "I want to go home...uncle."

She added the title reluctantly and found that with these two words, the man seemed to become a little more kind.

As expected, He Jinxing did not insist on going to the hospital. He just nodded and called the driver to drive over.

Gou An was about to refuse him and emphasize that she needed to be quiet for a while, when someone grabbed her arm from behind. She turned around and looked at He Ran, who was gritting his teeth, inexplicably.

"Where are you going?!"

"go home."

"Me too!"

"Chasing back Lu Wan with tears?"

He Ran finally exploded.

“Gou An! You asked me to post on Moments! I posted it! I didn’t block anyone, not even Lu Wan!” He couldn’t help but yell, “Don’t you know what this means, or are you fucking illiterate?!”

My voice almost changed in pitch at the end.

Gou An blinked his eyes when he was yelled at, and said innocently: "I was just kidding, who told you to take it seriously?"
