Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Heart-beating Confusion (Page 2/2)
"Serve me? Didn't you say that she tricked me to the junction of Suzhou and Wuxi's Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway in the middle of the night, and I was so cold that I cried. Is there such a way to serve people?" Su Ran pointed at Fang Yuan, and was speechless again. After a long while, he said, "You bad friend!" Fang Yuan smiled and stood up, patted Su Ran on the shoulder and said, "Su Ran, in fact, it may not be a bad thing for a woman to divert your attention from Lin Yue." Before Su Ran responded, Fang Yuan looked at the watch again and said, "It's almost 7:30. I have an appointment with the wedding company's planner at 8 o'clock. Let's go today." Looking at Fang Yuan's departing back, Su Ran lit a cigarette in confusion, and his heart was full of doubts about his words. Why did Xu Tianna's appearance divert his attention from Lin Yue? After leaving the restaurant, Su Ran bought another can of beer, and while drinking, he walked with the bustling crowd. He heard the laughter of others, but his heart was filled with his endless troubles. Unknowingly, he walked towards home. When he returned home and opened the door, the house was pitch black. Su Ran turned on the lights in the living room and looked around. He felt that the house was deserted and his landlady Xu Tianna seemed to have not returned yet.
Su Ran sat on the sofa and watched TV bored. Without the extravagance of nightclubs, the night became extremely long. He could hardly remember when he was like this. When the night just fell, he was like a little man at home trying to find entertainment in front of the TV, but he felt bored.
It was only half past eight, but Su Ran was upset by the boredom. He smoked a cigarette and was in a daze for a while, but only ten minutes had passed. He felt that he was about to be swallowed by this loneliness. It turned out that a night alone was so difficult.
Su Ran found a guitar in the room, turned out a guitar score, and began to practice singing. If there was anything he liked to do every night besides wandering outside, it would probably be playing guitar to kill time.
After singing a song, when he was about to play the next one, he finally heard a noise outside the house. Then the door was opened, and Su Ran saw Xu Tianna, who was carrying a leather bag and was breathtakingly beautiful.
Although there had been some friction between them, Su Ran was not a narrow-minded person, and he would not belittle Xu Tianna's beauty because of this. In his eyes, this woman seemed to be a masterpiece carefully carved by God.
Su Ran put down the guitar in his hand and asked with a smile: "Are you back?"
"Yeah." Xu Tianna responded and walked towards her room.
"Stop." Su Ran deliberately lowered his voice and shouted with a stern face. In fact, he was just bored and wanted to tease her because he was unwilling to be alone.
Xu Tianna turned around and looked at him: "Is there something wrong?"
Su Ran looked Xu Tianna up and down, and was more and more confused about why this woman was so beautiful. She blurted out: "You said you are so beautiful, you are not a monster, right?"
Xu Tianna frowned slightly and said to him coldly: "Please don't make me feel like I am letting a wolf into the house, okay?"
Su Ran stood up immediately and said excitedly: "Girl, are you sure? I moved into this house first. Isn't your statement of letting a wolf into the house a bit inappropriate?"
Xu Tianna ignored his argument about first come first served, and her tone was still cold: "If you think I am a monster, you can move out at any time, and I won't object."
"Why should I move? This house was originally mine, and you are at best a new tenant. Besides, you promised me to live here, and I abided by the agreement. I stayed at home after work and didn't go anywhere. So don't mention moving again in the future." Su Ran stood up from the sofa to show his excitement.
"I am your new tenant?" Xu Tianna's tone was obviously unhappy.
Su Ran didn't care about her emotions and said, "Yes, from today on, you have to be a female tenant in front of me. In this room, whoever has more seniority is the landlord."
"Don't you think you are boring? In addition, I have to remind you that you don't have to change the concept and impose the title of female tenant on me, because I only agree to let you live here for one month, and you will soon leave here forever as a tenant." Xu Tianna looked at him with a smug look and said.
"What's wrong with one month? I'm happy even if I'm only a landlord for one month." Su Ran responded stubbornly, but his heart was quietly depressed because of Xu Tianna's words "leave here forever".
Xu Tianna didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she said "who cares about you" and turned to walk towards her room.
Su Ran, who was left alone in the living room, took out a cigarette and lit it. In the smoke, he couldn't help but laugh at the identity of "landlord" that he had obtained by cheating.
The smoke slowly drifted out of the window under the light. Su Ran was fascinated by it, and a gust of wind from nowhere made him sober instantly. In this gust of wind, he seemed to see the hazy figure of Lin Yue, and suddenly remembered: In three days, they will meet at Fang Yuan and Yan Yan's wedding. He had a premonition in his heart that the next three days might be more difficult than the three years of separation.
To this day, Su Ran still can't figure out why they didn't have a good start and a good end to their love that they had managed for four years with the best time of their lives? Even if they broke up, they should at least give themselves a reason, but...
Su Ran closed his eyes, and the smoke from the cigarette on his fingertips made his eyes a little moist and his heart full of bitterness.
