Chapter 33, Childhood Sweetheart



Yu Ranran hadn't received any response from Gu Wan. She wasn't afraid. Didn't she want to know how she got it? The more she thought about it, the more her head felt like it was about to explode. Why had Gu Wan become the object of everyone's pity? She had nothing left.

Cen Zhan watched her hide in the corner with her legs hugged warily.

"Yu Ranran, are you okay? Don't look at it, and don't think about it."

Yu Ranran suddenly reached out and hugged Cen Zhan, crying, "Cen Zhan, you are all I have. Please don't leave me."

Cen Zhan saw the scar on her arm and was silent for a long time. "Okay."

Yu Ranran finally calmed down after hearing this.

Cen Zhan brought the medicine over and said, "Take it first."

When Yu Ranran went to sleep, she would hold Cen Zhan's hand.

"Cen Zhan, who would you choose? Me and Gu Wan."

"Choose you." Cen Zhan didn't know how he felt after saying this. Gu Wan's figure was all in his mind.

Only then did Yu Ranran close her eyes and fall asleep peacefully.

Gu Wan rummaged through the drawers at home and finally found the school uniform and the scarf that Cen Zhan had brought over last time. She called that number for the first time in four years.

"Cen Zhan, is it convenient for us to meet? I have something to return to you."

You always have to move forward and make a choice. Although Yu Ranran deceived him, he didn't know people well, so who can he blame? Gu Wan believed that he had given him a chance.

Cen Zhan closed the ward door and hummed, "See you at the coffee shop on Beiyang 1st Street."

Yu Ranran opened her eyes again. Cen Zhan didn't want her anymore, and Gu Wan was calling him again. She was going crazy, and she had to pinch her palms hard to control her increasingly crazy heart.

Gu Wan put on a hat and a thick down jacket and wrapped herself up. When she arrived, Cen Zhan had already sat down.

Cen Zhan has been looking very haggard these past few days. Yu Ranran is always making trouble and she doesn't trust anyone except herself.

Gu Wan sat down and placed the washed school uniform on the table, with the scarf she wore that time on it.

"Give it back to you."

Cen Zhan pursed his lips. She had promised to return his school uniform tomorrow. It was four years late, but she still kept it.

"It's no use anymore."

Gu Wan feigned a relaxed smile. "Just pretend that what's online never happened. I'm an actor now, so it's inevitable that some news like this will come out."

Cen Zhan's eyelids have been twitching today, and he always feels that something is happening.

"Okay, Yu Ranran is in a very bad condition now. I've been taking care of her recently."

Gu Wan frowned, sighed, and seemed to let it go.

"Actually, I know, but I still want to ask, Cen Zhan, have you ever been moved by me? Even a little bit?"

She asked very seriously, her eyes full of anticipation.

The original owner had also asked this, but Cen Zhan felt that even looking at her was a waste of time at that time.

Cen Zhan looked down at the school uniform and said, "Gu Wan, Yu Ranran has lost everything. She only has me. I will not give up on her at this time. After all, she gave up her life for me." He is not a gentleman, but he understands Yu Ranran's feeling of being the only one left.

Gu Wan hummed, seeming a little flustered, and picked up the mask on the table. "Then Cen Zhan, I'm sorry for disturbing you for so long. Those text messages also harassed you. I won't do that again in the future. I wish you happiness. Goodbye."

Cen Zhan stood up and reached out to grab her wrist, his voice hoarse, "Wanwan, don't you want me anymore?"

She turned back and slowly pried his fingers apart, put on her hat, and turned to leave.

Cen Zhan clenched his fists. He couldn't escape his responsibility and the four years of companionship. After all, Yu Ranran had done nothing wrong, right?

Gu Wan breathed a sigh of relief as she walked out of the coffee shop. Since that was the case, it would depend on how Yu Ranran handled things next. The New Year was really lively, and there were people setting off fireworks in the square.

Gu Wan accompanied her grandmother for a walk every night.

Yu Ranran couldn't help but read the comments online in the hospital. She knew that Cen Zhan went to see Gu Wan that day. Since that day, Cen Zhan often lost his focus and wanted to explain things to her. She looked at the screen recording on her mobile phone with shaking hands. She wanted to destroy Gu Wan.

Cen Quan has been calling Cen Zhan these days, asking him to come home for dinner. It's New Year's Day, and none of the children have returned.

Cen Zhan was really bored. He didn't want to go to the hospital, nor did he want to go home. Many times he drove aimlessly back to the tube building. His memories of Gu Wan were not so vivid, but that time she reached out and held the hem of his school uniform, hugging him so firmly. If he had not returned to the Cen family and stayed here forever, they would have been together naturally. He felt distressed when he thought of this. Gu Wan must have been very disappointed with his answer that day, but he could not abandon Yu Ranran.

Cen Quan also saw the recent rumors on the Internet.

"Cen Zhan, you must go home today."

Cen Zhan has been smoking more and more recently. "I have something else to do and I won't be going back."

Gu Wan asked someone to anonymously send the recording to several gossip bloggers. This recording would force Yu Ranran to hand over the text message screen recording as soon as possible.

"Big news! A recording was sent by a hotel staff member. The night Gu Wan won her first Newcomer Award, she was almost sexually assaulted. The mastermind behind this was Yu Ranran."

As he said this, he also posted a screenshot and blurred the other person's face.

"I didn't know who Yu Ranran was at the time, but now looking back I understand."

"Please blogger, please give me a thick code."

Netizens were very shocked and felt that this year was not peaceful at all.

In the recording, Gu Wan's voice was very clear. She was fearless in the face of danger and protected herself.

"I have to say, Gu Wan is so cool. I want to be her fan now."

"Why did Yu Ranran target Gu Wan a few years ago? Weren't they high school classmates?"

"This method is so dirty. They are all girls, why can they do this?"

"I'm jumping up and down like a wild civet in a melon field. Is there a class representative?"

"My girl, I really want to scold Yu Ranran."

Chu Le immediately called Gu Wan.

"Why didn't I know about this? You didn't tell me?"

Gu Wan was arranging flowers at home. She thought it would be better to put some green plants in the room in winter, which would be good for people's health.

"What is it?"

Chu Le said in a serious tone, "Gu Wan, on the night of the Best Newcomer Award."

Gu Wan actually didn’t think it was a big deal.

"I already beat him up, and it's been so long."

Chu Le frowned, "Was she doing this for Cen Zhan back then?"

Gu Wan took the scissors and placed the trimmed flowers in the vase. "Right, they were all abroad at that time."

Chu Le was silent for a long time, but still asked the question.

"Where are you and Cen Zhan at now?"

Gu Wan thought for a moment, "There was no step where he chose Yu Ranran."

Chu Le thought her tone was relaxed, but she knew how sad Gu Wan was. That was the person she had loved for a very long time. They had known each other since they were three years old and had been with each other for more than ten years.

"Don't be sad, I'll ask my uncle to give you two more houses."

Gu Wan was not sad at all. Her mission was about to be completed, and she could finally use the remaining time to film well and further realize the original owner's dream.

"No."

Chu Le felt that this was not possible, so he hung up the phone and rushed into Chu Yuan's study.

"Uncle, come on, are there any good properties opening?"

Chu Yuan knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, "Send Gu Wan?"

Chu Le nodded, "She has made it clear to Cen Zhan that it will never happen again. Gu Wan must be very sad. I have to comfort her."

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Call my assistant." But he was a little surprised that Cen Zhan would choose Yu Ranran?

Gu Wan looked at the trending searches online and posted a Weibo.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

It’s just a simple sentence. There are many things that you don’t need to reply to personally.

Cen Zhan found it unbelievable. Two years ago?

Yu Ranran fearfully grabbed Cen Zhan's hand.

"I'm sorry, Cen Zhan. I didn't think clearly at that time. I was just jealous that you were still thinking about her every day in front of me. I didn't mean it. I didn't intend to do anything to her. I just said a few extra words in front of my dad's partner. Cen Zhan, believe me, I didn't mean it."

Cen Zhan shook off her hand. He thought Yu Ranran was just naive and ignorant, and had made some small mistakes, but she was kind-hearted. She chattered a lot every day, and it was easy to tell what she was thinking.

"Yu Ranran, let's calm down. Also, when you recover, I have something to tell you."

He walked out of the hospital, took out his cell phone and looked at Gu Wan's number, but still didn't call her. He decided to deal with the problems between them after the incident with Yu Ranran was over.

Gu Wan saw that the incident was fermenting rapidly online. She felt that this matter was deliberately orchestrated. Although two years had passed, the recording had been circulated and the authorities had intervened.

Gu Wan also went over to cooperate with the investigation, and she just described what happened at the time.

In this situation, Gu Wan was accompanied by a female police officer.

"You're great, but if you encounter something like this again, you must call the police immediately."

Gu Wan nodded and said, "Thank you, thank you for your trouble." After she finished her work, she left the police station. She did not see the boss from that year, nor did she see Yu Ranran.

Cen Chao sent a lawyer to talk to Gu Wan's lawyer about a private settlement.

Gu Wan refused.

The boss didn't expect that the incident from a few years ago would be dug up again, and he accused Yu Ranran to death.

A month later, Yu Ranran was finally released because the doctor issued a certificate stating that her mental state was not good and she needed to seek medical treatment outside.

Gu Wan just felt it was a pity that she had only stayed there for a month. She really hoped that she could live there, but she guessed that Yu Ranran could not bear it any longer, so she called Chu Le by the way.

"Just a reminder, I need to do some public relations. I've been sending messages to Cen Zhan all these years, which is considered straightforward. Now that Yu Ranran has the video in her hand, I guess she's going to post it online."

Chu Le was drinking water and almost choked to death.

"You have such a big handle, Gu Wan, you are really bold."

Gu Wan was packing her luggage. She had finished filming her scenes and had to move to another city. "That's nothing. I'll post on Weibo when the time comes. Just cooperate."

Her career will not be ruined by Yu Ranran.

Yu Ranran sat on the bed with a dazed expression. She had lost her career, Cen Zhan had never come to see her once, and her parents were gone. Did she have anything left? It was all Gu Wan's fault. She was a troublemaker and she wanted to ruin Gu Wan's reputation.

Cen Chao had just finished talking to the doctor. He came in from outside, sighed, and sat down beside her. "Ranran, take good care of yourself. I'll send you abroad later." China wasn't suitable for her. "Then change your name."

Yu Ranran leaned on Cen Chao's shoulder, "Brother Cen Chao, do you think Cen Zhan doesn't want me anymore?"

Cen Chao reached out and patted her hand. "Ranran, how could you do that two years ago? Gu Wan had just won the Best Newcomer award. You know if that person succeeded, Gu Wan would be ruined."

Yu Ranran wanted to destroy her, so why didn't she destroy her back then?

"Brother Cen Chao, you go back first. I want to be alone." After saying that, she lay on her side on the bed and covered herself with the quilt.

Although Cen Chao was worried about her, there was a lot of work in the studio, and it was okay to have a nurse to take care of her.

"Then I'll go back first. Call me if you have anything."

Yu Ranran got up in the middle of the night and took out her cell phone, looking at the text messages inside. She wanted to ruin Gu Wan's reputation and sent a message to a gossip blogger through her second account.

Gu Wan had been traveling all day today. She washed up and went to bed at the new hotel. The next morning, when she turned on her phone, she saw countless text messages and missed calls.

Among them, Chu Le’s accounted for a small half, and there was also Cen Zhan’s.

Gu Wan lay on the bed and clicked on the trending search to take a look.

"Big melon series, Gu Wan sent text messages to the man on different dates over the past four years. You can tell her phone is still old-fashioned. It shocked me for a year."

Below is a screen recording, and the comments below are simply exploding.

"Oh my god, can a goddess like someone so much?"

"So the man is Cen Zhan?"

"Why is it an old-fashioned phone? And who recorded it?"

"No, am I the only one who thinks it's sweet?"

"Upstairs, I'm shivering too."

"Could a goddess also be unable to obtain love? I suddenly felt relieved."

"Come to think of it, I also liked someone for many, many years. Gu Wan was braver and more persistent than me."

Gu Wan glanced down and turned off her phone, then went into the bathroom to brush her teeth. Then she heard her phone ringing again. She answered the call while brushing her teeth.

"Thank God, Gu Wan, you finally answered the phone. What should I do?" Although Chu Le had been given a warning by Gu Wan, he still couldn't help but feel scared.

Gu Wan casually tucked her hair and rinsed her mouth. "I'll respond in a while." She wiped her mouth with a towel, turned around and leaned against the sink.

"Thank you all for your concern. I sent the text message. I thought that phone was no longer used, but I didn't expect it to be found. It's actually quite good. That was my youth, and it was also the first time I loved someone without reservation. But I'm sorry everyone, I failed. I hope girls like me can love others so passionately, bravely love, and express love. Also, I'm currently single. The man is my high school classmate. He already has someone he needs to take care of for the rest of his life. Please don't disturb him. Although my youth didn't end perfectly, I have no regrets."

The picture is a photo of her without makeup, and her smile is very warm.

Chu Le read her Weibo post and laughed. Gu Wan should be the agent.

Hot search terms, "Gu Wan's response".

After putting it down, Gu Wan went to wash her face and have breakfast.

Many people were moved by Gu Wan’s speech. Who hasn’t liked someone when they were young? Every word she said was so sincere, frank and warm.

Gu Wan is as brave as ever, she is a ray of light.

"The goose girl is so great. I don't know why I'm so touched."

"Shout out loud! I will always support Gu Wan. You have done a lot that I dare not do."

"Yeah, no regrets at all."

Of course, some people also scolded Gu Wan.

"I'm just a passerby. I don't think Gu Wan did anything wrong. If openly loving someone is wrong, then what else is right? Who hasn't loved someone in their youth? I won't judge this relationship, but I think Gu Wan is really brave."

Chu Le observed for a day and then called Gu Wan with a smile, "This battle was a great victory. What do you think, classmate Gu Wan?"

Gu Wan saw that Cen Zhan kept calling her, but she didn't answer any of them. He had explained it so clearly last time, so what was the use now?

"Nothing special. I'm starting filming here."

When Yu Dekun saw Gu Wan on the set, he just sighed and shook his head.

When Gu Wan had lunch at noon, she took her lunch box and sat aside to eat.

Yu Dekun wandered over to her and said, "How about I introduce you to someone? What do you think of Xu Cang? He's a little older than you, but older is better. He's more considerate."

Gu Wan almost spit out the food in her mouth.

Yu Dekun saw this and quickly handed her a bottle of water. "Why are you so excited?"

Gu Wan took a sip of water and swallowed it before waving her hand. "Director Yu, I'm still young and not considering marriage."

Yu Dekun looked at her with a worried look on his face. "When I first met you, you were only eighteen years old. I've always treated you like my own daughter. If you have anything to say, you must tell me. Don't keep it in your heart."

He thought about it and said, "Really."

For the first time, Gu Wan felt that this play had deceived many people. "Director Yu, thank you for your concern. I'm fine."

Yu Dekun felt that there was a gap between him and the child, probably because he was a boy, so he simply stood up and went aside to call Nan Jin.

"When you have time, talk to Gu Wan more. The child is without a father and a mother. I told her about it, but she didn't want to talk about it. Besides, she has a good relationship with you."

Nan Jin quickly agreed on the phone, "Okay, Director Yu, don't worry."

Yu Dekun looked at Gu Wan who was eating silently. He swore not to let him see that brat, otherwise he would put a sack on him and beat him up.

Cen Zhan didn't sleep all night. He read all the text messages sent by Gu Wan in the video one by one. It turned out that this was the reason why she asked him if he used the same mobile phone number from that year. It turned out that she had already confessed her feelings to him. It turned out that her eyes would turn red even when she said Happy New Year to him.

She took the five million but donated it right away. Cen Zhan felt pain every time he breathed, and his heart seemed to be held by a pair of big hands. She asked herself so cautiously whether he had ever fallen in love with her.

He knew clearly that he was no longer qualified, and it was he who chose Yu Ranran first.

His Wanwan doesn't want him anymore.

Cen Quan had also seen the gossip online recently, after all, it had been going on for several days.

The little girl is doing well now. On the contrary, Yu Ranran stopped Cen Zhan and called him.

Cen Zhan thought it was Gu Wan who called back, so he immediately took it and took a look, but it wasn't. He had originally hung up, but accidentally received it by sliding the wrong button.

"Don't worry about Yu Ranran anymore. We have nothing to do with the Yu family anymore."

Cen Zhan just sneered when he heard this, "Cen Quan, stop meddling in my affairs."

Cen Quan understood his son quite well. "I knew you liked Gu Wan back then. That look in your eyes couldn't lie. But Gu Wan wasn't worthy of you back then. And the matter of Yu Ranran blocking the wooden cannon for you was arranged by her and me because you wouldn't shirk such a responsibility. Now that you know, just give up on her."

Cen Zhan was in disbelief at first, then he laughed. His whole life was supposed to be controlled by others.

"Cen Quan, do you think Gu Wan is not worthy of me? But I think I'm the dirtiest. I'm the fucking dirtiest."

His cold face was full of decadence, with stubble growing on his chin overnight. His cell phone fell to the floor and broke into two pieces. He was not originally alone, but he lost Gu Wan, lost her in his own pride and arrogance, in his self-righteousness.

Yu Ranran saw Cen Zhan again after two days. Her eyes were full of surprise. She stepped forward and pulled his sleeve, "Cen Zhan, Cen Zhan, please don't leave me. You are the only one I have."

Cen Zhan shook off her hand and pinched her chin, "Yu Ranran, you ruined me. Let's go to hell together."

Yu Ranran used both hands to pry his hands apart, "Cen Zhan, I love you, I love you."

Cen Zhan let go of his hand. "Yu Ranran, that thing was planned by you and Cen Quan, right? Why did I meet you?"

He said this and shook his head in self-mockery.

Yu Ranran's face instantly lost all color, "Cen Zhan, you know everything? But it's true that I was hurt because of you."

Cen Zhan looked at Yu Ranran and said, "Why did you show up? I had already walked out of the quagmire, but you pulled me back in." After he said that, he walked out of the ward as if all his strength had been drained away.

Yu Ranran stared at Cen Zhan's figure in a daze.

Then another incident broke out on the Internet.

"Will this gossip ever end? It turns out it was Yu Ranran's fake account that leaked the screen recording. I'm really shocked."

This marketing account also included a screenshot proving that it was a secondary account.

Two hundred thousand comments in ten minutes.

"No way, what does she want to do? To prove that Gu Wan loves someone so persistently???"

"She doesn't think that we'll dislike Gu Wan anymore after we find out."

"I think you got the truth upstairs."

"Add ID card, I think so too."

"So Yu Ranran also likes that guy, which is why she attacked Gu Wan two years ago?"

"You are so smart upstairs, it's like this."

The matter was discussed very heatedly.

Chu Le watched while eating an apple, and could only say that netizens were really powerful.

Yu Ranran's name ranked first on the hot search list, and it was a huge hit.

Yu Ranran saw the comments on the above with her mobile phone in the ward, and she started to post on Weibo frantically using her own account. How could they say that?

"Is it wrong for me to like Cen Zhan?"

"Why does everyone like her and not me?"

"Her parents are dead, and I've already paid compensation, so why won't you let me go?"

"I hate you. I hate you."

Netizens were just sitting around doing nothing, so when they saw these Weibo posts, they all responded and answered her questions.

Gu Wan looked at everything on Weibo. Yu Ranran was almost going crazy, but that was good.

Cen Chao was busy in the studio. When he saw these Weibo posts, he immediately called the nurse and asked her to snatch the phone from Yu Ranran's hand.

Yu Ranran has gone crazy.

Gu Wan watched all this coldly. It was so pitiful, but what did it have to do with her?

Two months later, Gu Wan finished filming and flew home. As soon as she got off the plane, she received a call from Chu Le.

"Did you get off the plane safely?"

"Let me tell you, yesterday Cen Chao sent Yu Ranran to a mental hospital. She's crazy. I never thought she would actually go crazy."

Gu Wan raised the corner of her mouth, "It's good enough that someone is taking care of her."

Having been to prison and a mental hospital, Yu Ranran can say that her life was worth living.

The author has something to say:
