Chapter 7 Then
Zhou Ran, and then Ran.
The damage to the van was similar to that of her car.
Hers was a new car, so it was a little more miserable in comparison.
Yan Nian had never dealt with this kind of thing before. This was his first time, so he was prepared to be fined and have points deducted when he came.
"It's time for this crappy piece of bread to retire!" Zhou Ran readily suggested settling the issue privately, and the van driver was quite cooperative.
Finally, they left each other their WeChat accounts and parted ways at the traffic police station.
Two people who would have separated at a fork in the road and never knew each other began to have frequent contact with each other because of a ridiculous traffic accident.
Zhou Ran lives a heartless and carefree life.
The hot and long summer is no longer boring.
When she left Lindu and returned to Lingyun, some unpleasant things happened and she didn't have time to say goodbye to Zhou Ran properly.
Still keep in touch.
After she returned to Lingyun, she officially entered university and her schedule became tight.
Zhou Ran is much more proactive than her and will share good things with her.
Occasionally I would send her a one-cent red envelope to make her feel important.
He went to college in a coastal city and would send her some coastal trinkets, shells or more symbolic beach-style bracelets.
Adhering to the principle of give and take, Yan Nian would also send him some Lingyun specialties.
During holidays, she would find various reasons to chat more, even though she doesn't like to take the initiative or have contact with the opposite sex.
Zhou Ran is an exception.
This continued until the beginning of the second semester of her freshman year. One night, Zhou Ran suddenly sent her a message asking: [What do you think of me?]
After receiving the message, she replied without thinking: [Very good.]
Zhou Ran was not satisfied with her answer, so he sent a series of emojis, filling the screen with kitchen knives.
Zhou Ran: [Can you be more serious? Tell me about it.]
At that time, she felt for the first time that Zhou Ran, who was heartless and didn't care about other people's opinions, actually cared so much about how he was seen in other people's minds.
She didn't know how others viewed Zhou Ran, but it should be the same as hers.
Always so sunny and sincere.
Before she knew it, she had typed a line of heartfelt words and sent it.
【In my heart, you will always be the best one. 】
By the time she reacted and had no time to withdraw, Zhou Ran had already seen it.
Perhaps the goodwill has accumulated to a certain level and is developing in a certain direction of closer development.
Zhou Ran's series of shy and annoying yellow-faced expressions filled her chat interface. After a long time, he sent another voice message.
She was sitting in a corner of the library, putting on headphones and listening.
【Then I will be your boyfriend, okay? 】
The affectionate and lingering voice instantly hit her eardrums, her breathing couldn't help but stagnate, and her heart seemed to slow down for a few beats before starting to beat suddenly.
I was lost in the audio track, listening to it over and over again.
In the silent environment, everything around became unreal, with only the confession and her heartbeat beside her ears.
Only she could hear it.
Very unexpected.
Before this, I always thought that her love was one-sided.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Ran confessed to her.
Zhou Ran didn't get a reply for a long time, so he continued to message her: [There aren't many people like me who are both talented and good-looking. Give me a definite answer!]
Zhou Ran: [?]
In high school and college, many people pursued her, but she coldly rejected them all, and offended many people because of this.
Yan Nian didn't know how to deal with Zhou Ran's sudden confession.
Or a love affair between two people from different places.
I was so panicked that I couldn't calm down for a long time, but my heart felt like it was eating honeyed fruit, and the corners of my lips kept unconsciously rising.
I didn't pay attention to the book all night and told my cousin this secret.
Her cousin was even more excited than her and told her to give it a try boldly.
She didn't respond until she returned to the dormitory: "Okay."
Thinking of this, Yan Nian pressed the shutdown button of his memories in time.
Just then, a WeChat message came in. The phone was on silent mode, and the screen on the desk dimmed and then lit up repeatedly. Yan Nian gathered his thoughts and opened WeChat.
It was from my cousin: [Nian'er, I've gotten off the plane. I'm back from Lingyun to be with you.]
My cousin went to university in Lingyun City and stayed there to work after completing her graduate studies.
He completely integrated into the local customs and culture of Lingyun, even his accent changed.
Cousin: [Nian'er, I miss you so much.]
Cousin: [I heard my second aunt found you a job overnight. How's the job like? Is your boss handsome?]
Yan Nian replied with a curved lip: [The environment is very good.]
Thinking of the change in him when she saw him today, she added: [The boss is also very handsome.]
Cousin gossip: [Wow, is that a guy with abs?]
Yan Nian smiled: [No.]
My cousin likes mature, older men.
Cousin: [Oh! Okay! How about that person?]
Yan Nian thought for a moment and concluded: [He is arrogant and narcissistic, and thinks that every woman is after him.]
Cousin: [Fuck, there are still men like this, who think they have come down from the altar?]
A strong shadow fell from above her head. Yan Nian held up her phone and mechanically turned her head, only to see the hem of a well-cut gray-blue dress.
Very close.
Zhou Ran put his left hand in his pocket and stood behind her condescendingly.
His gaze lingered briefly on her phone and then moved to that indifferent and self-possessed face. He did not have the sudden realization of gossiping about his boss behind his back during working hours. Instead, there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, as if he should not be here.
Yan Nian wasn't what he'd seen. She was feigning composure, feeling like she'd been caught by her boss on her first day of work doing nothing. Unsure if he'd seen the message, she blinked a few times guiltily, then calmly turned off her phone and set it aside, screen down.
Read the contract carefully and attentively.
Zhou Ran chuckled softly, and Yan Nian felt a chill on his back as if his nerves were stimulated.
Fortunately, he left not long after staying. Yan Nian glanced behind him and saw that everyone was busy and quiet, and there was no sign of him.
…
Finally it was six o'clock in the evening. The other three were working overtime. Yan Nian was too embarrassed to leave and continued to sit at his workstation.
At half past six, Gu Pingping sent her a WeChat message: [You can leave work now!]
After receiving the message, Yan Nian reluctantly turned off the computer, picked up his bag, left the office under the gaze of the three people, and punched out!
Yan Nian looked towards the general manager's office, and the door happened to open from the inside. She didn't look at who it was, but looked away and walked out.
I got off the elevator and left the office building. I took a taxi to the office building this morning, and now I had to take a taxi back.
Yan Nian didn't remember his home address and didn't want to go back early, so he walked to the right.
Passing the entrance of Mingyu No. 1 underground parking lot and walking further ahead is a leisure area, which is quite lively now.
Yan Nian walked over slowly, sat down on a bench by the roadside, and stared at the bustling crowd in a daze.
In the distance, a black SUV was parked by the roadside with its hazard lights on. The person in the car had his hands on the steering wheel, his collar slightly open, his head tilted back against the pillow, and his amber pupils looking at the person on the bench in front.
The lonely and thin shadow was stretched out long and motionless, blending into the sunset.
