Chapter 121 Hungry
The sky brightened again.
Lu Ran opened his eyes hazily and saw the same bright sunlight as yesterday.
He was in bed the whole time he opened his eyes and closed them.
It was as if the whole day yesterday had disappeared into thin air.
Lu Ran just raised his hand to cover his eyes and lay in bed without moving.
His limbs were numb, as if he was pressed by stones and couldn't lift them.
Lu Ran opened his eyes again and looked at the curtains fluttering on the side.
It was the curtain of Ji Min's bedroom, not the ward without windows in his memory.
Although he had been reborn for a long time, sometimes when Lu Ran opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep, he still couldn't tell whether the world in front of him was real.
He occasionally wondered if the so-called rebirth was just a dream he had while lying on the hospital bed.
Lian Ji Min and Da Huang were the same.
So Lu Ran didn't like to linger in bed for too long.
He wouldn't indulge in such boring speculations.
Lu Ran moved his heavy limbs, turned over and got up to get out of bed.
He just lay on the bed with his arms, and he couldn't help but pause.
Very good.
Now it's confirmed that he was not dreaming.
He had never had such an experience in his life, and he couldn't dream of such a real and bizarre feeling.
Ji Min just returned to the room and was ready to see if Lu Ran woke up.
As soon as he opened the bedroom door, he saw the boy hunched over and got out of bed.
His eyes swept across the boy's collarbone inconspicuously, and the idea of teasing had not yet arisen.
Ji Min saw the legs of the person beside the bed soften and he sat directly on the carpet.
"Hey!" Ji Min hurried over and helped the man up.
Ji Min had a look of disbelief on his face.
He paused, but couldn't help asking: "Not really? I remember I didn't go too far..."
But halfway through, he felt that this was like shirking responsibility.
So he asked softly: "...Does it hurt?"
"Hurt?"
Lu Ran grabbed Ji Min's arm with one hand, supported his forehead with the other, and said in a nearly weak voice,
"Let's talk about this later. The most important thing now is, do you have anything to eat?"
Ji Min: "......?"
Lu Ran supported his forehead, only to feel dizzy and black eyes.
He felt it carefully and said firmly: "I'm hungry. I'm almost starving to death. Give me something to eat!"
Ji Min: "..."
Lu Ran got up late yesterday morning and missed breakfast.
He didn't have time to eat lunch.
He had a strenuous exercise that lasted the whole afternoon.
When he finished the exercise, he was already paralyzed.
His mind was full of sleep, so who would remember to eat?
Now he slept until early this morning.
Having eaten nothing all day, Lu Ran just felt that he was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, and he was almost starving.
Even though he was so weak, Lu Ran was still very persistent. He
was determined to go downstairs to the restaurant to have breakfast by himself.
Ji Min wanted to hug him in the middle of the way, but was thrown aside.
Lu Ran still argued: "You walk too slowly while holding me!"
Ji Min: "..."
After finally walking to the dining table, Lu Ran sat on the chair, picked up the porridge in front of him and gulped down two bowls.
He then picked up the fried shrimp balls in front of him and ate the whole plate.
Ji Min, who was about to pick up his chopsticks: "..."
After finishing a whole plate of fried shrimp balls, he finished a whole basket of steamed buns, two shengjian, and a piece of cheesecake.
Lu Ran felt like he had come back to his soul.
He poured himself another bowl of soup and drank it.
After drinking it, he saw Ji Min holding the bowl, looking at him silently.
"...What are you looking at?" Lu Ran asked incoherently with something in his mouth.
Ji Min: "...Nothing."
I was just thinking, you are worthy of me.
Even the morning afterward was spent so differently.
At first glance, he ate more than he did yesterday, who had worked hard all afternoon.
Ji Min sighed.
Seeing that Lu Ran was about to eat more, he reached out to stop the boy: "Your stomach will be uncomfortable if you eat more." He
couldn't help laughing again: "Who was it that asked you to get up for a midnight snack last night? You slept like a dead pig."
Lu Ran rolled his eyes, but couldn't help eating another bun before stopping.
Today is still a day off.
After Ji Min had breakfast, he was free.
There were no servants in the villa, and housekeeper Chen went out to play chess with old friends.
Only Ji Min and Lu Ran were left at home.
Lu Ran still looked a little listless.
He was lying on the sofa, transferring files to his phone. He
was not very peaceful even lying there, so he changed his position.
Ji Min watched for a while, then reached out and pulled him into his arms.
"Don't interrupt me, I'm transferring files to the counselor."
Lu Ran said.
Ji Min rubbed his neck with his slightly stubbled chin, and said unhappily, "Do you have to transfer it now?"
When the boy's finger pressed the send button, the man raised his hand, snatched the phone, threw it aside, and turned around with him in his arms.
"Hey, don't move." Lu Ran put his hand on his shoulder and said, "I just ate too much, if you hold me too hard, I will vomit on you."
Ji Min: "..."
"Are you allergic to romance?" the man asked gritting his teeth.
Lu Ran couldn't help but laughed for a long time while sitting on his lap.
As he laughed, his knees slipped and he did a split.
He just happened to pull the muscle in his thigh which was aching from the beginning.
Lu Ran: "..."
He couldn't laugh anymore.
Ji Min pressed him back into his arms.
He pinched Lu Ran's wrist, and then went up to pinch his elbow and shoulder.
With a serious look on his face, he asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Lu Ran: "..."
He looked at Ji Min with a wooden face and asked back, "Where do you want me to say it, Uncle Ji?"
Ji Min clicked his tongue, raised his hand and patted his waist, "I'm asking you seriously, does your joint hurt?"
Lu Ran paused imperceptibly and said, "I said it doesn't hurt." After
he finished speaking, he raised his head and met the man's dark eyes.
The man put his hands around his waist, leaned on the sofa and said slowly and coldly:
"Some people told me not to hide this and that, but they kept it a secret and didn't tell me anything."
This was said in a very sinister way.
Lu Ran suddenly felt guilty for a moment and raised his hand to scratch his head. Seeing
him like this, Ji Min raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Are you really hiding something from me?"
Lu Ran: "..."
"Are you lying to me?" he said.
"I'm talking to you properly." Ji Min sat up straighter and asked again, "Tell me the truth, does your joint still hurt?"
Lu Ran: "..."
He was silent for a while, and said ambiguously: "It doesn't hurt much, and it hurts all the time. Once you get used to it, it almost doesn't hurt."
Ji Min's face darkened, and he patted his waist again, but in the end he didn't say anything.
In the afternoon, Lu Ran, who was lying on the bed to catch up on his sleep, was pulled up.
Ji Min didn't explain and stuffed him into the car directly.
After the car started on the road and drove for a long time, Lu Ran finally woke up completely.
He opened the car window and looked, then looked at Ji Min and asked, "Where are we going?"
"To see a doctor for you." Ji Min said.
Lu Ran said subconsciously: "I'm not going to the hospital."
Ji Min explained helplessly: "It's not a hospital, it's a psychological clinic."
Lu Ran was silent.
He had read Ji Min's suicide note.
This guy seemed calm on the surface, but he kept the doctor's words in mind when he had a car accident last time. He
had already screened several well-known psychologists before the operation.
In the suicide note, he didn't forget to ask him to go and try.
Now, he didn't say anything and just pulled him over.
Lu Ran didn't resist.
He was in pain all the time and it was very annoying.
But Lu Ran knew very well that this was probably not something that the doctor could solve.
After entering the clinic, Lu Ran sat down on the sofa.
Ji Min also followed in. He did not sit down, but stood behind Lu Ran.
The psychiatrist sitting diagonally looked at Lu Ran carefully and smiled:
"Classmate, is it you?"
"Huh?" Lu Ran was a little surprised.
He raised his eyes and looked at the doctor in front of him.
The doctor was a woman with a very kind face, and looked younger than Mrs. Shen.
But Lu Ran did not remember meeting her.
The doctor smiled and explained: "Once I was on leave to visit relatives, and I passed by the place where you were lying in the community, and heard you tell a story."
Lu Ran remembered it then.
This should be talking about the time when he was driven out of the house by the Shen family.
There were many people who listened to his story at that time, and Lu Ran did not remember them all clearly.
"Story?" Ji Min asked, "You're lying outside and telling stories?"
Lu Ran coughed and said, "I just made it up."
But after thinking about it, he didn't seem to say anything other than his life experience.
So he became frank again and said, "Autobiography."
But after the consultation officially started, Ji Min was "asked" to leave.
Lu Ran didn't have the habit of confiding in others.
He didn't think he had anything to confide in.
He just cooperated with the psychologist and did some therapy and exercises.
He didn't have much hope.
Coming to the clinic on time every week was more to make Ji Min stop worrying.
Anyway, it wasn't busy during the summer vacation.
But the Beijing business district has been very lively recently.
The signing ceremony for the HZ project is about to be held.
Now everyone knows that this project will most likely fall to the Shen family.
Moreover, the technological breakthroughs made by the Shen family recently have indeed made people jealous.
A wave of admiration for the Shen family has gradually emerged in the circle.
Mrs. Shen has become more socializing and attends endless salons every day.
There are also many people around Shen Xingzhuo.
Lu Ran was soaking in the laboratory and didn't pay attention to these.
Only when Fang Chen came to him, he whispered gossip in his ear a few times.
Originally, these things did not bother Lu Ran.
Until, there was a senior in the laboratory who frequently took the initiative to come to contact him.
Whether it was doing experiments or holding group meetings, he would come to help and speak for him enthusiastically.
One time, under the pretext of talking about experiments, he and I walked to the school gate at night.
We were seen by Ji Min who came to pick him up.
The man kicked over the jealous jar with his foot, and was filled with sourness.
Lu Ran was speechless for a long time, and asked the senior directly what was the matter.
The senior was scared by Ji Min.
He stammered and explained the reason why he approached Lu Ran.
It turned out that he heard that Lu Ran was also a member of the Shen family.
And his family wanted to get close to the Shen family, but couldn't find a way, so they came to get close to Lu Ran.
Lu Ran was speechless for a long time. He didn't expect that someone would flatter him.
This is enough to illustrate the recent high status of the Shen family.
Not to mention Shen Xingran.
He has been living a life of being surrounded by stars recently. When he
went back to school to submit a document during the summer vacation, a group of friends came to him.
One day, he came out of the psychological clinic.
Lu Ran saw Shen Xingran not far away.
Shen Xingran was accompanied by an acquaintance, Jin Lino, who was fed toilet water by Lu Ran several times.
The two were in a close posture, but after talking for a while, they separated.
Shen Xingran turned around and saw Lu Ran not far away, and was stunned for a moment.
Soon he smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
"It is quite a coincidence." Lu Ran looked at Jin who had already walked away.
Shen Xingran raised his chin and smiled proudly: "How do you feel when you see your suitor circling around me now?"
Lu Ran: "..."
He was silent for a moment, but couldn't help asking sincerely: "When you kissed him, did you know that he had drunk toilet water?"
Shen Xingran's expression suddenly cracked.
The two had nothing to talk about.
Shen Xingran turned around and left.
Halfway through the walk, he turned his head and looked at Lu Ran, smiling and saying,
"The Shen family is now thriving, even the mortal enemy of the Lino family is trying to curry favor with me. I wonder if you will regret leaving the Shen family!"
Lu Ran smiled and said nothing.
When he got back to the car,
Ji Min took him over and asked, "Are you in such a good mood today?"
"Yes, I am."
Lu Ran looked through the car window at Shen Xingran's back.
