C12 The Promise Is Still There but Things Have Changed
At two o'clock at night, she woke up with a stomach spasm and cold sweat all over her body.
She reached for her cell phone to make a call. After feeling around the bed for a long time, she realized that her bag had been robbed for two days and two nights.
Because of Su Zifan and Yu Wanwan, she wasn't in the mood to buy a phone. The landline was still in the living room, but she didn't even have the strength to get up.
The sound control light on the ground lit up as she woke up. Xin Ran felt dizzy, and her stomach spasmed as she crawled beside the bed and retched for a long time.
She closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep, but she could not. She propped herself up and supported herself on the wall as she walked out. After searching through the medicine cabinet, she realized that the last attack on her stomach had been too long ago.
It had actually been a long time since he had a stomachache. At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Su Zifan's face. He smiled gently and took care of every moment he saw.
Ye Zichen shook the images out of his mind and called Situ Xuxu.
It seemed that he was still awake. His voice was hoarse and mesmerizing, as if he was someone who had gone through many events. "Hello? Xin, you … "Mhmm …" The sound disappeared for a few seconds, then returned to normal. "Why are you still up so late?"
Xin Ran gasped from the pain, her palms were covered in sweat. She curled herself up into the sofa and said weakly, "You can come over, there's a pharmacy at the entrance of the district that's going to buy two boxes of methylene …" "Ugh!"
Situ Xuxu's panicked voice came from the phone, "Xin! Xin, what's wrong!? "
When Situ Xuxu came over, Xin Ran was in so much pain that she didn't have any strength left. She knew she should hold on and open the door for her, but she couldn't move her body.
The shrill, resentful voice of five years ago rang out in his head in broken tones.
"You are the one who killed my son! Why don't you go and die? "
"He's only 18 years old. We trust you that much …"
"Family members, please don't be agitated. The risk of surgery has been clearly stated in the surgical records. This is not the responsibility of the hospital and doctors."
Whose voice was it that was so firm and calm that he could hear her, and who was it that hugged her body and told her gently, "Of course, you're not afraid. I'll accompany you for the rest of your life. Even if you never get on the operating table again, you're still my favorite woman. "
After a burning pain on her face, Xin Ran reluctantly opened her eyes.
What she saw was Situ Xuxu's face, devoid of any trace of blood. Seeing her eyes open, she actually reached out and hugged her, crying loudly.
Xin Ran could not remember what happened after that.
When she regained consciousness, she could smell the familiar scent of water. Her hands were gripped tightly by someone's big hands, and her arms were numb. She opened her eyes and tilted her head to see a face with messy hair and handsome features.
It was Xi Chengle.
She only moved a little before she woke up from her sleep. The fog in her eyes gradually cleared up. Her beautiful lips were still the same as when she was young. When she was angry, she would pucker up subconsciously.
"Sis, you're awake!" Xi Chengle was pleasantly surprised. He grinned like an innocent big boy.
Xin Ran felt that her cousin was really beautiful. His smile made her feel as if she couldn't look straight at him. She pulled the corner of her mouth open in an attempt to smile at him, but found her dry lips unable to naturally smile.
He could only give up and smile bitterly, "I've been sleepwalking."
Xi Chengle burst out laughing, but his face turned cold as he laughed. He threw away his hand that was tightly clenched and said angrily: "You can't even take care of yourself, are you really 26 years old, or six years old? What do you think you are, eating nothing all day? The machine still had to be recharged and maintained! You are someone who needs to eat in order to live, do you understand? "
"Baby ~ I was wrong." Xin Ran quickly apologized with a guilty look on her face.
Even if Xi Chengle was extremely angry, he wouldn't be able to vent it out at this moment. He helplessly looked at her and kept sighing.
Xin Ran found it funny that he was so angry. She laughed, and he gouged her with his eyes.
It was unknown who Situ Xuxu's voice was speaking to outside the door, "You guys, let me go in first!"
Someone replied lightly, "Sure!"
"?" Xin Ran looked at Xi Chengle and asked silently who it was outside.
Xi Chengle shook his head and rolled his eyes. How could he know who they knew!
As soon as the door opened, Situ Xuxu walked in with one hand behind her back. She walked up to Xin Ran's sickbed and winked at her, giving her a meaningful smile. She stroked her chin and studied Xin Ran for a long time before whispering, "I really couldn't tell …" "Tsk tsk!"
Xin Ran was completely confused by her expression. She blinked innocently and asked, "What are you doing?"
Situ Xuxuwei lowered her body and once again carefully observed her face. She muttered to herself, "I can't tell where the charming fox spirits come from …"
Xi Chengle lost his patience first. It could be said that he was impatient with no one but Xin Ran.
After having been kept in suspense for such a long time, he asked in a bad tone, "Who is outside?"
Situ Xuxu had always liked young guy, not to mention Xi Chengle's looks and family background, they were definitely the best among young guyzhong.
He had been blinded by that man just a moment ago. Now, when he heard that person's voice, he immediately turned around and smiled sweetly. He stroked his chin and stroked his long hair.
Feeling embarrassed, Xin Ran turned her face away and put her hand over her eyes.
As expected, Xi Chengle's bright eyes were clouded. His handsome face was beyond ugly. He coughed lightly in disdain: "Hmph!" She couldn't even be bothered to look at him.
Situ Xuxu didn't mind at all. She didn't feel embarrassed at all. She even wanted to flirt with some top-grade fresh meat. However, she heard someone outside knocking on the door lightly. He couldn't wait any longer.
"You're really something!" Situ Xuxu reached out her hand that was hidden behind her back. What was hidden in her hand was Xin Ran's bag. She handed it over to the confused Xin Ran with a mysterious smile, "I let him in!"
"Who is it?"
"Who is it?"
The siblings asked in unison. However, Situ Xuxu lowered her voice and said, "We'll know soon!"
Xin Ran's eyes widened in shock when she saw the person entering the room. The bag in her hand was unzipping, and the latest version of Mad Madness flew into her line of sight. He felt like he was dreaming.
He was dressed in a black suit, a white shirt, and a well-done tie. Above that was a face that no one would ever be able to forget once they saw him.
His eyes were as deep as the dark night, his nose was long and straight, and his lips were neither thin nor thick, perfectly perfect. What was most breathtaking was that his aura of grace and elegance seemed to have a sense of indifference, like a prince from a famous medieval painting.
When Xin Ran's gaze landed on the bottom of his eyes, it was unknown why she had a sense of tranquility in her mind, causing her heart to throb inexplicably.
However, that feeling was too fast, and it disappeared even faster.
"Miss Xin!" "We meet again ~"
The noble and elegant man who seemed to have come out from a medieval painting stuck his face out, smiling as he greeted Xin Ran on the sickbed. "I heard you were hospitalized, so my husband must come over to see you to be at ease."
The fragrance of flowers assaulted the room.
Only then did Xin Ran notice that Gu Youran was holding a handful of perfume lilies and was stuffing them into the hands of his husband.
Xi Chengle felt that the treasures in his house were being coveted by others. His expression was extremely ugly. He asked the person on the bed with an awkward expression, "Sis, who are they?"
Xin Ran exclaimed, revealing a similarly puzzled expression. She looked over to Situ Xuxu, who was covering her mouth as if she wanted to watch something.
"Slowly? "Why are Mr. Gu and this person, Mr. Zhou …"
"Sigh, I've forgotten about such a big matter!" Only then did Situ Xuxu walk in from the door and sat down beside Xin Ran's sickbed. She smiled and said, "Xin, you should thank these two properly. They helped get your bag and phone back."
Therefore, Situ Xuxu simply and very exaggeratedly told Gu Youran about returning Xin Ranbao and her cellphone after receiving the call back to the store. Her eyes kept glinting, to the point that it was soul-stirring.
Xin Ran felt ashamed. She really wanted to keep her face closed and not admit that this woman was her friend.
"Please take a seat you two. Take your time and pour a cup of water." Xin Ran finally thought of a way to interrupt Situ Xuxu's blabbering.
When Xi Chengle heard what Zhou Jinheng said all day, not only did his expression not ease up, it became even more cautious as he looked at Zhou Jinheng. Deep in his heart, he felt that this person was not simple and was very annoying!
Gu Youran saw that his husband was like an iceberg that didn't understand how to grasp a beauty. He pushed him forward and winked at him. Gu Youran pointed at the flower that he had forcefully stuffed into his hand and pouted his mouth.
"Miss Xin, this is my husband's token of appreciation." Gu Youran really wanted to go on stage himself. Seeing that his family's Mr. Zhou was really going to carry on with the silence to the end, he could only push him to the end and do it on his own behalf.
Puzzled, Xin Ran smiled. "Thank you." He stretched out his hand to receive the flower that he had never offered before. His heart beat like a drum: This person didn't seem to want to come over, but they had only met face to face. Since he didn't want to come, why should he force it?
The flowers were not released, and Xin Ran could not receive them. She felt a little awkward and wanted to withdraw her hand, but the flowers were stuffed all over her.
