It had been raining in recent days, and the dim corridor was only illuminated by a small window at the top of the stairs. 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 scorching eyes, and approached Su Nan without saying a word. The latter was frightened by his cold temperament and shivered. She let him in without time to stop him.
With a "bang", the door was closed.
Su Nan stammered, "You are trespassing. I can call the police and have you arrested."
Maybe it was because she felt guilty for leaving without saying goodbye last time, she didn’t even dare to meet his eyes.
"Su Nan." She called out quietly, as if she didn't take her threat seriously at all.
Zhou Rang stood at the entrance, looking at her expressionlessly. He remained silent for a long time without saying anything.
After being apart for more than a minute, she found it difficult to understand him.
Seeing that Zhou Rang didn't speak again after calling him, Su Nan was confused by his inexplicable behavior, so he encouraged himself in his heart and said through gritted teeth: "What do you want to do?"
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at him who remained silent.
"I ran into Chang Yelin at the Nanzhou Hotel the day before yesterday. He was with a girl and behaved very intimately. I had someone check it out. You and him are not in a relationship at all, and you have never been in a relationship."
"So, why did you reject me?"
As soon as Zhou Rang opened his mouth, it was like a bombshell blasted into 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 are the one who does it yourself, don't you know that? Now you dare to ask me in person, isn't it a bit too shameless?"
Zhou Rang frowned and explained anxiously: "I had my own difficulties at the beginning, so when I found you in Beijing, I wanted to explain it, but who knew you wouldn'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?"
"It was you who got the girl pregnant. What complaints 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 punched and kicked Zhou Rang.
"What?" Zhou Rang looked confused and let Su Nan vent her anger on him. He got the girl pregnant? This was all nonsense.
In his entire life, he had only had sex with Su Nan a few times last week. How could he make another woman pregnant?
"You are still pretending to me. Can't a grown man be more responsible? The child is already a few months old, and he can already call you daddy."
Su Nan was extremely angry and slapped Zhou Rang hard on the face. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he changed the subject.
"You don't think you can control me just because I slept with you, and then you two-timing me, keeping one at home and another outside, so now you come here and say sweet words to make me willingly be your mistress, right?"
"Zhou Rang, you're not a good person, but you think you're pretty, ugh."
Su Nan had used a lot of force in that slap just now, and there was already a fresh slap mark on Zhou Rang's face. However, he did not get angry, but instead 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 before. Get out." Su Nan struggled hard and almost slapped her in the mouth.
"I didn't cheat, and I don't have any children." Zhou Rang was quick to grab Su Nan's chin and prevented 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 why he had been inexplicably accused of the crimes over the past period of time.
"Ah?" Su Nan froze in place, all the hatred at this moment was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down, feeling extremely uncomfortable, his eyes had been red for a long time, at this moment he 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 she hugged his waist tightly with both hands, 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 incoherently and sobbed constantly.
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 more aggrieved. She pouted and pushed him away, turning the tables: "That's because you suddenly became cold to me, and then left without saying anything to me. Do you know how worried I was?"
"If I can't find her, I won't start to have wild thoughts. 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 really only believed Qin Sihan's one-sided story and convicted Zhou Rang of being a scumbag.
This is unfair to both of them and to the relationship.
But...
"Then what am I in your heart? You never told me about your love affair and kept it from me, then suddenly left for a few months." Su Nan wiped the tear marks on her face, her little face red from crying.
"You have always been the most important person in my heart."
Zhou Rang wiped away the tears from her eyes with distress. His throat rolled several times. He prepared himself mentally before he slowly explained, "Nannan, I have wanted to tell you everything for a long time. Fortunately, it is 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 came to find you."
"We first met in the black market, so you should have guessed that I am a bit shady as a prostitute."
"I first came into contact with this industry after I was discharged from the army. I went to visit a former captain who returned home early due to injury, and I encountered some things at his home."
At this point, Zhou Rang slowly lowered his head, as if he was having trouble speaking. After taking a few deep breaths, he continued, "The captain's hands were blown up during a drill while trying to save a recruit who made a mistake in operation."
"He was awarded a military rank and was discharged with honor. He should be respected, but the reality is cruel. Not only his fellow villagers, but even his parents despised him as a disabled person who couldn't work. Sometimes he didn't even have a meal at the end of the day."
Su Nan could hear the anger and sobs in Zhou Rang's words, and patted his back to comfort him. He 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 their country and people are treated like this.
Su Nan couldn't imagine what kind of life the captain Zhou Rang mentioned would be living in a place where no one could see him.
