It had been raining for the past few days, and the dim corridor was only illuminated by a small window at the top of the stairs. But at this moment, a tall figure blocked the only light, making it impossible for her to see the expression of the person who came.
"How did you find this place?" Su Nan took a half step back, his fingertips tightly gripping the door handle.
Zhou Rang looked at her with burning eyes and approached Su Nan without saying a word. Su Nan was frightened by his cold temperament and shuddered. She let him into the house without being able to stop him.
With a bang, the door was closed.
Su Nan stammered, "You're trespassing. I can call the police and have you arrested."
Maybe it was because she left without saying goodbye last time and ran away, so she felt a little guilty, she didn't even dare to meet his eyes.
"Su Nan." It was a calm call, as if he didn't even take her threat into consideration.
Zhou Rang stood at the entrance, looking at her expressionlessly, and remained silent for a long time without saying anything.
After being apart for more than a year, she actually found it difficult to understand him.
Seeing Zhou Rang didn't say anything after calling him, Su Nan was completely confused by his inexplicable behavior. So after mentally bracing himself, he gritted his teeth and said, "What on earth do you want to do?"
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at him who was silent.
"I ran into Chang Yelin at the Nanzhou Hotel the day before yesterday. He was with a girl and they were acting very intimately. I asked someone to check, and they found out you and him are not in a relationship at all, and you have never been in a relationship before."
"So, why did you reject me?"
As soon as Zhou Rang opened his mouth, it was like a bombshell exploded in Su Nan's ears, and she also knew why he came here to find her.
Hearing this, Su Nan's eyes turned red and he sneered, "Why? You did a great job back then, don't you know? And now you dare to ask me in person, isn't that a bit shameless?"
Zhou Rang frowned and explained anxiously, "I had my reasons at the beginning, so when I found you in Beijing, I wanted to explain, but you didn't listen, and then Chang Yelin rushed out again."
Su Nan pointed at the tip of his nose and sneered, "So now you blame me for not giving you time to explain?"
"You are the one who got the girl pregnant. What difficulties do you have?" When Su Nan thought of this, a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart to the top of his head. He couldn't help but rush forward and punch and kick Zhou Rang.
"What?" Zhou Rang let Su Nan vent his anger on him with a confused look on his face. He got the girl pregnant? What nonsense.
In his entire life, he had sex with Su Nan only a few times last week. How could he make another woman pregnant?
"You're still pretending to be nice to me. Can't a grown man take some responsibility? The child is already a few months old, right? He'll be able to call you dad next year."
Su Nan was extremely angry. He raised his hand and slapped Zhou Rang in the face. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he changed the subject.
"Just because I slept with you, you didn't think you could control me and start playing two women at the same time, keeping one at home and another outside, so now you come here and sweet-talk me into being your mistress, right?"
"Zhou Rang, you're not a good person, but you have some beautiful ideas. Ugh."
Su Nan had used great force in that slap just now. A clear mark of the slap had already appeared on Zhou Rang's face, but he was not angry. Instead, he took the opportunity to grab her hand.
"What are you doing? Let me go. I won't be with a man who cheated on me. Get out." Su Nan struggled hard and almost spit on his mouth.
"I didn't cheat, and I don't have any children." Zhou Rang quickly grabbed Su Nan's chin, preventing his arm from being bitten to a bloody pulp in the next second.
At the same time, he also explained in a concise and loud voice the charges that had been inexplicably brought against him over the past year.
"Ah?" Su Nan froze in his tracks. All the hatred was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down. He felt extremely uncomfortable. His eyes, which had been red for a long time, finally shed tears of grievance.
Zhou Rang quickly pulled the person into his arms and sighed helplessly.
He hasn't felt wronged yet, but she has.
"Who do you say is pregnant with my child?" Zhou Rang hugged her greedily, stroking her hair and patting her back over and over again as he did before. His voice unconsciously became a little hoarse, and his eyes were half an inch red.
Su Nan realized something belatedly and hugged his waist tightly, crying, "Qin Sihan, after you suddenly disappeared, she came to Wutong Street to find me with the pregnancy test report and a photo of the two of you."
She spoke in a halting manner, choking with sobs.
Zhou Rang closed his eyes and couldn't help but blame: "Whatever she said is true, so am I really untrustworthy in your heart?"
Su Nan suddenly felt even more aggrieved. With a pout, she pushed him away and turned the tables on him: "That's because you suddenly became cold to me and then left without saying anything to me. Do you know how worried I was?"
"When I couldn't find her, I naturally started to have all sorts of thoughts, and she just happened to come to me at this time."
As she spoke, Su Nan's voice gradually lowered. Now that she thought about it, she had indeed only believed Qin Sihan's one-sided statement and convicted Zhou Rang of being a scumbag.
This is not fair to both of them, and to the relationship.
but……
"Then what am I in your heart? You never told me what happened, kept it from me, and suddenly left for several months." Su Nan wiped the tears from her face, her little face flushed with tears.
"You have always been the most important person in my heart."
Zhou Rang wiped the tears from her eyes distressedly. His throat rolled several times. After preparing himself mentally, he slowly explained, "Nannan, I've wanted to tell you everything for a long time. Fortunately, it's not too late now."
"I don't know whose child Qin Sihan is pregnant with, but it's definitely not mine. I don't know why she went crazy and went to find you."
"We first met in the dark, so you can probably guess what I did was a little shady."
"I got involved in this industry in the first year after I was discharged from the army. I went to visit a former captain who had returned home early due to injury and ran into some things at his home."
At this point, Zhou Rang slowly lowered his head, as if he was having trouble speaking. But after taking a few deep breaths, he continued, "The captain's hand was blown off during a drill while he was trying to save a new recruit who had made a mistake."
"He earned his military rank and an honorable discharge, which should have earned him respect. However, the reality was cruel. Not only his fellow villagers, but even his parents looked down on him as a disabled person with no ability to work. Sometimes he didn't even have a meal all day."
Su Nan could hear the anger and sobs in Zhou Rang's words. He patted his back soothingly and couldn't help but ask, "In this situation, you can live well on the pension, right? How did it become like this?"
It is shocking that soldiers who have dedicated their youth and blood to the country and the people are treated like this.
Su Nan couldn't imagine what kind of life the captain Zhou Rang mentioned would lead in a place where no one could see him.
