It was Zhang Chuan and Xu Cheng. They received a call from Yan Xici, and after communicating with each other, they headed towards Xiao Ran's house.
Upon seeing the two, Yan Xici quickly made way for them and politely said, "Brother, please have a seat inside."
The girl had kept the room spotless, and the gray marble floor looked immaculate.
Seeing the two people sit on the sofa, the girl quickly picked up the rag she hadn't had time to remove and said with a smile, "Please sit down first, I'll go get you some water."
After saying that, he turned and went to the kitchen.
Watching the girl's busy figure in the kitchen, Xu Cheng couldn't help but move closer to Zhang Chuan and sigh, "If Yan Li had been half as devoted to Xiao Ran as Xi Ci was, things probably wouldn't have turned out this way."
Zhang Chuan nodded, as if he completely agreed with what was said.
"Who says otherwise? Look how tidy this house is, and how thoughtful it is. Over the years, it always feels like Ranzi is alone. It's hard for her to even see Yan Li, let alone pour us water."
Yan Xici is academically excellent, beautiful, and most importantly, exceptionally sensible.
Now that Xiao Ran and Yan Li are divorced, instead of choosing to live a good life with her sister, she is worried about Xiao Ran and takes the initiative to stay and accompany him, which is truly rare.
"Who says otherwise? My sister-in-law has spent a lot of my money over the years, but she's never said a word of thanks. She's always stirring up trouble between me and her sister!" Xu Cheng was increasingly envious.
Sure enough, sometimes the younger ones are more sensible than the older ones.
Xiao Ran actually left Shi Guang at five o'clock, his mind filled with the general ideas for the new book.
I didn't bother taking a taxi. I walked around the streets for half an hour before finally getting on a bus and swaying back to my seat.
It was already 6:30 when I got home.
She skillfully entered the password on the lock, 0098, which was what Yan Li had set. She was thinking that she would have to change it later, but when she opened the door, she was startled by the scene in front of her.
The girl held a cake with the words "Happy Divorce" written on it in her fair hands, and gave him a bright and cheerful smile. "Brother, happy divorce!"
The two people next to him were his best buddies, Zhang Chuan and Xu Cheng, who were smiling sincerely at him.
"Ranzi, happy divorce!"
"A new life, a new beginning!"
Xiao Ran blinked, and it took him a full three seconds to react.
He looked at Xu Cheng and Zhang Chuan in surprise, "How did you two know I was divorced?"
A lot happened today, and he hasn't had a chance to tell them about his divorce yet.
Besides, he already knew about Xu Cheng's hotpot restaurant situation, and I didn't want to upset him any further.
Unexpectedly, this thing actually appeared in my house.
Xu Cheng pursed his lips, "It's Xi Ci who was worried you might do something rash, so she asked us to give you a surprise."
I don't know where this guy got his good fortune from, to have such a wonderful sister-in-law. I don't know if Xiao Ran is moved or not, but he was definitely touched by the girl's thoughtful behavior.
Zhang Chuan looked on with envy, "Not only did they prepare a cake for you, but they also prepared a table full of your favorite dishes. They're such a sweetheart!"
This sister-in-law—no, she should be called my younger sister now—is so sensible. He also wants to have one.
The girl pursed her lips, looked at Xiao Ran with her watery eyes, and said earnestly, word by word, "I hope you can cheer up soon and not lose faith in life! You may not have my sister, but you still have us."
She meant it sincerely; she hoped Xiao Ran wouldn't be affected by the divorce and would live a good life.
The girl in front of me had a bright and radiant smile. When she looked at me, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes seemed to hold a handful of crushed stars, shimmering with tiny sparkles.
Sincere and heartwarming.
For a fleeting moment, Xiao Ran clearly felt a warm current flowing from his chest into his limbs and bones.
To be honest, he was actually feeling quite unwell that morning.
The three smiling faces in front of him now make him feel happy.
"Who said I've lost faith in life? My life is just beginning!" Xiao Ran smiled.
It's just a divorce!
He's not that fragile.
Hearing him say that, the girl was overjoyed, her eyes shining with excitement in the candlelight.
"That's wonderful! You said it yourself. Now that we've blown out these candles, let's start a new life together. Don't be discouraged; let's be full of hope for the future!"
Xiao Ran obediently blew out the candles, looking both amused and exasperated, and said, "Now, can I come inside?"
Yan Xici suddenly realized, oh no, her brother-in-law is still standing outside!
She quickly placed the cake on the dining table, then squatted down and opened the shoe cabinet door to get a pair of slippers for her brother-in-law.
A thoughtful touch: a welcome message placed on the doormat.
Xiao Ran shook his head, a helpless smile on his face.
He's such a child who never grew up.
The four of them sat at the dining table, looking at the abundant and varied dishes. Xiao Ran glanced at the well-behaved Yan Xici in surprise, "Did you prepare all of this?"
The clever girl wouldn't accept her brother-in-law's excuse of lecturing her. She gave a sly smile and earnestly promised, "This is a rare occurrence; don't let it happen again!!!"
To be honest, there was a bit too much food, but it's a rare treat, and I hope Xiao Ran will be happy.
To be honest, Xiao Ran was really touched.
He himself is not a heartless person.
Xiao Ran didn't sit down, but picked up the beer on the table and poured himself a glass. Then he raised the glass and said confidently, "Hey, I have something to tell you. My last book is getting an adaptation!"
