Chapter 8: The debt of love is hard to repay and the journey home is exhausting
Su Ran walked into the bathroom and was shocked to see two oversized laundry baskets full of clothes. He couldn't help but said angrily, "Did you deliberately save clothes for a year to torment me?"
Lin Yue didn't respond, but the sound of the TV in the living room suddenly increased.
Su Ran was so angry that his chest felt stuffy, but he still forced himself to pour out the clothes in the laundry basket. He put the machine-washable clothes in a pile, the hand-washed clothes in a pile, and the underwear in a separate pile.
For the next hour, Su Ran and the washing machine were "busy" at the same time, and finally finished washing this pile of clothes.
He took the washed clothes to the balcony and hung them up one by one. After everything was done, Su Ran stood on the balcony and lit a cigarette to relieve his fatigue.
Lin Yue came over with a fruit plate and asked softly, "Would you like to eat something?"
"No appetite." Su Ran took a deep puff of cigarette and said.
Lin Yue gently pulled out the cigarette between his fingers, took out a tissue from her pocket, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and whispered: "Su Ran, the magazine said that a man who is willing to wash underwear for a woman must be a gentle and reliable good man."
"Don't talk nonsense, do you think I want to wash it?"
Although she was scolded by Su Ran, Lin Yue still took his arm, snuggled up to him and asked: "Have you ever washed other women besides me?"
"No." Su Ran answered impatiently.
"Neither did Jian Xuan?" Lin Yue asked.
"Why are you so annoying, asking these inexplicable questions." Su Ran said and pushed her away.
Lin Yue had long been accustomed to his attitude, neither angry nor talking, just looking at him quietly.
Su Ran put on his coat and said to her: "I'm leaving, don't call me again in the future."
Lin Yue hurriedly grabbed him: "I won't let you go."
"Let go." Su Ran shook his arm and broke free from Lin Yue's pull.
Lin Yue ran to the door again and blocked it, saying, "Don't leave yet, I have something for you." Then she took out a bank card that she had prepared long ago from her pajamas pocket and handed it to him, "Here, there is 10,000 yuan in the card. I know you spent a lot of money on me this time."
Su Ran was stunned: "Where did you get the money?"
"I got an advance from the crew."
"Are you feeling guilty?"
Lin Yue stared at him for a long time with a sad look, and slowly said, "The child is yours. I said, I just want to see your willingness to take responsibility. Of course, I have to pay you back for the money you spent."
The more serious Lin Yue's expression was, the more Su Ran felt that she was acting. In his eyes, Lin Yue was just a woman who liked to linger in the bright lights and wine. The responsibility she talked about was not credible at all. After all, he was also such a person, so he knew this mentality too well.
The reason why she insisted that the child was his was perhaps just an emotional sustenance in emptiness, or perhaps even she herself did not know who the father of the child was. This peculiar psychology is difficult to explain clearly, but people in this complex circle can understand it. They seem free and easy, but they are actually empty inside.
In the end, Su Ran did not accept Lin Yue's card, even though he was short of money. He himself could not explain why he did not want it. Perhaps deep in his heart, he still had a little sympathy for Lin Yue. Although he was very rude to her, he would still lend a hand when she needed it.
No matter how glamorous Lin Yue looked, Su Ran understood her loneliness and emptiness in her heart, because they were the same kind of people. The only difference was that Lin Yue might become famous in the entertainment industry one day, while he could only live his life ordinary and lonely.
After Su Ran left Lin Yue's residence, he immediately took a taxi back to his former residence. He hoped that Xu Tianna would not throw out his luggage because he missed the appointment again. He didn't want to work overtime, and he didn't want to be pestered by Lin Yue to wash clothes, but life was full of helplessness and surprises, making him powerless to resist.
