C11 Of Course I Can't Do Without You
"But I wasn't a doctor five years ago."
The words that came out of his mouth instantly froze the atmosphere. It was so quiet that even their breathing seemed to have stopped.
His lips moved a few times, but he couldn't say anything. His fingers were opened one by one by Xin Ran as she pushed him out of the room with her hands on his chest. When he lowered his eyes, the door closed in front of him, "Go back to work, or else I'll really get angry."
"..." Sis, I'm sorry. "I didn't mean to …"
But no one told him it didn't matter.
Xi Chengle stood outside for a long time. It was the call from the hospital asking him how long he would be back. The operation would be in an hour. He closed his eyes and opened them again.
"No, I'll be back in fifteen minutes."
He looked at the door for a while longer before he turned around and left Xin Ran's apartment building in the elevator.
The speed of the car was 4 red lights, and after 15 minutes, he changed his clothes and arrived outside the operating room of the hospital.
"..."
Xin Ran didn't have to wait long before she received a call asking her to meet him at the nearest Starbucks. The caller said, "I know you don't want to see me again, but, of course, I can't forget the beauty of the past. If you don't come, I'll wait. "
She said lightly, "I'll go over."
But he showed a bit of excitement and joy, "Of course, I know … My words last time were too harsh. Sorry, I'll wait for you. "
It was the middle of summer, and the sun outside seemed to be able to burn one's skin.
Xin Ran wore a white jigsaw T-shirt with a linen gray skirt that reached to her ankles, white cloth shoes, and sunglasses before she left. She also wore a watermelon red silk shawl.
It wasn't far on foot, not even ten minutes, and although his forehead was sweating, it wasn't an unbearable range.
When they arrived at Starbucks, they saw the Mercedes that was the color of fire in the parking lot. Xin Ran's gaze immediately left the spot, but when she looked back, she caught a glimpse of a figure hiding behind a car not too far away from the red Mercedes.
Seeing that she stood up as soon as she entered the door, Su Zifan was inexplicably happy. He walked a few steps towards her and wanted to take her hand, but Xin Ran dodged his hand.
A look of deep loss crossed his face.
As she sat down, she wiped the tabletop with a tissue and brushed the sofa, as she always did. Xin Ran moved past the place he wiped and sat sideways to the innermost area. She took out a wet tissue from her bag and wiped her hands meticulously.
The fingers that he had touched earlier were white and slender, as though they were boneless.
Su Zifan's happiness and excitement turned into sadness. His face turned grey as he waved at the waiter behind her with a wry smile.
"What do you have to say for yourself today?" Xin Ran didn't even raise her eyes to look at him. She was still carefully wiping her fingers, unable to suppress the urge to vomit. As long as she thought of … Just the thought of him and Yu Wanwan in the same bed.
She couldn't suppress the urge to pull him out.
How could they do this to her?
Su Zifan didn't know what she was thinking, he just thought that she really hated him to the end, and then thought back to the past. Then he thought back to the words he blurted out from the bottom of his heart last time … Had she really never loved him?
If you love, why have you been so light for five years, smiling so little in front of him?
However, if she had never loved him before, why would she agree to his unmarried nature … However, after he saved up enough money to buy the ring that she liked, he was sent into a bottomless abyss, not even giving her a chance to repent.
But no matter what he had done before, he had shaken off this notion of certainty. He reached out to take her hand, but she looked at him in surprise and avoided it, looking at him as if he were a monster.
"Of course, after all these years, I have never asked you for anything. I was wrong about this matter, I know that I do not have the qualifications … But, of course, I can't do without you. Can you give me one last chance? "
Xin Ran frowned at him, her eyes filled with regret and pleading.
Su Zifan was proud, he never lost his composure, he never asked for help, even when his mother was hospitalized two years ago … He knew that all the doctors in the hospital added up to less than she had, but in the end he held his mother's hand in tears and did not beg her when he saw her die because no doctor dared to operate.
"I …" After all, these five years had been the darkest period of her life, accompanying her to this day.
"Of course, I will not beg for you to give me the answer now, but I will still say the same thing. I will wait. I will wait for you to give me my last chance." Su Zifan's eyes were full of determination.
He stretched out his hand and stiffly withdrew it.
Xin Ran's mind was in a mess.
He didn't know what to say.
At this time, a sobbing voice interrupted them, "Zifan, what should we do? What do you want me to do with the child in my womb? " She threw herself at Su Zifan's legs and knelt at his feet, tears streaming down her face silently.
It was Yu Wanwan.
Xin Ran raised her eyes and looked at her. She was actually much more haggard than when she saw her in the clubhouse last night. Her blue eyes were ringed, and her face was frighteningly pale.
"Yu Wanwan!" "Why are you here?" Su Zifan obviously didn't expect this woman to appear just as Xin Ran was about to waver.
When he saw Yu Wanwan, his expression was exceptionally wonderful, changing between green, red, white, black and purple.
Xin Ran felt that many gazes were directed towards them. However, as they were not in the coffee shop, they did not affect her reputation. Therefore, she did not even spare a glance for these unfamiliar gazes.
If she was willing to turn around and take a look, she would notice a figure sitting in a booth in the corner, lightly looking at her face.
"Zifan, do you really not see how much I love you? Why, why do you only have one Xin Ran who never has you in her eyes, Zifan... Open your eyes and take a look! " Lili hugged Su Zifan's leg tightly, her clear words jabbing at his heart.
Su Zifan's expression was ugly as he suddenly looked towards Xin Ran, "Of course, don't listen to her. I know you have feelings for me! I believe you. "
Just as Xin Ran was about to stand up and leave, she suddenly stopped and felt moved in her heart.
Yu Wanwan could tell from her actions that she was hesitating. They were too familiar with each other, too familiar with each other.
"Xin Ran, you promised me that you would help us!" Yu Wanwan shook her head with all her might, begging Xin Ran as she looked up at her.
Many of the Starbucks guests had stopped eating or talking or working, and their eyes were focused on the three of them like dazzling lights.
Xin Ran used to think that Yu Wanwan was very smart, but only now did she realize that she was a little stupid.
Su Zifan pulled Yu Wanwan, who was kneeling at his feet, up. With a pale and gentle face, he gritted his teeth like a Yama from hell and said, "Yu Wanwan, don't go overboard! I didn't go to find you these days because I thought you would understand that you were the one who planned everything last time. You should know what's in the alcohol. I wanted to give you some face since you're a woman, but if you're shameless, don't blame me for being rude as well! "
"Su Zifan..." You are heartless. " Yu Wanwan's expression was even uglier than a dead person's. She couldn't even find a trace of her usual expression as she looked up at the man who had become a stranger. "You know that I love you so much, but you would rather stay with a woman who will never love you than see me, don't you?
Su Zifan stared at her with a wooden face, not saying anything.
Xin Ran was not afraid of being watched by others, but she did not like the naked stares that seemed to take her for a zoo. She stood up and said in a low voice, "You guys go ahead."
She stood up and headed outside, but Su Zifan followed closely behind, "Of course, there's nothing to talk about between us. I'll send you back."
Xin Ran shook her head. She didn't know what her ex-fiancée and ex-best friend would say to this couple at this time.
For the time being, he did not want to see them again.
However, Yu Wanwan's voice came from behind and said with despair, "Su Zifan, since you don't want us, mother and son, then what's the point of me living?"
Her voice was followed by the crisp sound of a glass.
Xin Ran and Su Zifan turned around at the same time and saw the red fountain shooting out. Yu Wanwan looked at them with resentment and a weird smile on her pale face. She said, "If that's the case, then as long as we die, you can be together."
After the exclamations came a strange silence.
Yu Wanwan continued, "Then I'll help you. Su Zifan, you have to love a woman who doesn't love you. Let me help you …"
"Madman." Xin Ran smelled the familiar scent and frowned. She glanced sideways at Su Zifan. Without even looking at her, he ran towards Yu Wanwan, who was about to fall to the ground, with a dark face.
"Yu Wanwan!" Su Zifan's voice was full of panic. Under the crowd's gaze, he hugged the laughing woman and held tightly onto the spot where blood was spurting out from her wrist. He raised his head and shouted, "Hurry up and hit 120!"
Xin Ran didn't even turn her head to look at the chaotic Starbucks. She just turned around and left.
During that day, Xin Ran didn't even feel hungry, just laid quietly on the bed with her eyes wide open. She thought of nothing in her head, but it seemed like she didn't think of anything at all.
