He said he doesn't love me

"Beep beep..."

The sudden ringing of a bell rang throughout the room, startling Sun Ran, who was lying down with his dog in his arms watching TV.

The golden retriever looked up in the direction of the sound when he heard it, but Sun Ran was even faster and picked up the phone before it could even bark.

"Zorn, it's me."

Sun Ran had rarely heard this name from other people. Except for Li Cheng, everyone called him Sun Ran, which made him a little stunned. He glanced at the note and saw that it was Zuo Si Te En.

"...Uncle? What's the matter?" Sun Ran sat on the edge of the bed, wondering why he suddenly called him.

Logically speaking, if Aijero had arranged everything, then they would not contact him on their own initiative unless something unexpected happened.

The other end was silent for a while, then slowly spoke, "Zorn, are you feeling better?"

"Much better, the plaster has been removed." Sun Ran stretched out his hand and shook it, only then realizing that they were not on video and the other party couldn't see it. He shrugged and reached out to stroke the dog's head, "If you have anything to say, just tell me, do you need my help?"

"Would it be convenient for you to go back to Paris?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Ran stopped touching the dog and immediately asked if something had happened. Zuo Siten was silent for a long time, but finally couldn't bear to hide it from him, so he told him the key points.

"It's like this, your grandfather's situation... isn't very good. Although I don't like them, they are your relatives after all." Zuo Siten sighed and continued, "If you leave today, you may be able to accompany him for a while, but..."

Sun Ran couldn't help but frown, "But what?"

"If you come back this time, they may not let you go back to China. You are the only child of Aijero, they will not let you wander outside, so... you have to think it through."

Go back?

But no one in Paris knows my identity. If I don't go, it would be unfilial. If I go... it means that he will have to live like Chris Wen, under countless eyes and protection, and lose his freedom.

"But I have my freedom, don't I?" Sun Ran stood up and walked to the window, trying to let the cold wind blow away the irritability and depression in his heart.

"Zorn, they came to me and wanted to persuade you to go back and inherit the family business and go to the American music school with Meyer and the others for further studies. I thought about it for a long time and still wanted to ask for your opinion in advance."

Sun Ran didn't answer. He wanted to leave here, but if the condition for leaving was to lose his freedom, he would rather leave alone and quietly.

"...Uncle knows that you don't like being arranged by others. But think about it carefully. It must be much better for the family to train you than for you to find a way out by yourself. You are young, don't talk to them, talk to me. If no one is with you, I will also be worried. I wanted to say something to you when you were injured this time, but considering your father's face, I can't say anything."

Seeing that Sun Ran was still unwilling to speak, the person on the other end stopped talking and after a while, Sun Ran hung up the phone.

He knew it was impolite, but at the end of the day he was too upset to care about manners.

The family was willing to train him, so they naturally prepared resources and places. The music school was not something he could enter just because he wanted to. I think the family had to work hard to get him a place.

"Tsk, how come we have to meet at the same time?" Sun Ran pulled his bangs in distress. He had originally thought of contacting Xia Yi after leaving to ask if his third brother was with him.

He will try to find out if there is any other hidden secret behind what happened back then. If there is, Sun Zhaoxu will not let him off easily.

But if you say no, he doesn't believe it either.

If there was no hidden secret, why did he choose to kill Sun Zhaolin and leave in a hurry, instead of killing himself together? I had no power to fight back at that time, so it would be easy to kill him.

Didn't he expect that I would come to him?

Sun Ran narrowed his eyes. No, maybe he was just waiting for me to find him.

It is unknown who told Ai Jie Luo about his accident. It is unknown who took Zuo Fei away. And Fu Ci...

Shouldn't he be dead? How could he appear in front of me after falling from such a high place? Where are Xu Xingyue and the others?

do you died?

If Qin Ju and the others' appearance was premeditated, then could he also think...

Zonifen's death wasn't an accident either?

If this is true, then Sun Zhaolin’s death...maybe just the fuse that ignited the bomb, not the bomb itself.

"…Then I must go to Paris." Sun Ran realized this and suddenly felt a headache.

Going there means living under protection, and being followed wherever he goes. Although there are people protecting him, that kind of protection is no different from surveillance.

and also……

What are the identities of those people who have been guiding me in my dreams? They can enter and leave the Sun family freely. Are they sure that the Sun family will not care, or are they sure that they will not resist?

"Beep beep..."

After thinking it over, he finally called back.

The call was answered quickly, as if the person on the other end was waiting for him to think it through.

"I can go back, but... I don't want anyone to follow me, I want my freedom." Sun Ran pinched the palm of his hand. If the person opposite him disagreed, he would just take a look and leave.

"Have you considered?"

"I've made up my mind. I was planning to leave anyway, uncle. I have my own things to do and I won't stop for anyone." Sun Ran said as he looked back at the room. He had lived here for more than a month without realizing it, and he was somewhat reluctant to leave.

But he had already thought of a way out from the beginning, so he expected to feel reluctant.

Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, Zuo Siten couldn't help but feel sorry for him, "Why don't you discuss this with your husband first? He will be sad if you leave so suddenly, right?"

As soon as he said this, Sun Ran was in a dilemma. He had promised Li Cheng that he would not leave without saying goodbye, but in this situation, he had no choice but to leave.

Write a letter...

Doesn't that count as leaving without saying goodbye?

"No, I don't care about him, and he'd better not care about me." Sun Ran pursed his lips lightly. It was easy for him to say this, but he secretly felt an unbearable sense of loss in his heart.

If Li Cheng just wrote a letter and left, he would feel bad too, right?

"... Just make up your mind. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up and go home first." Zuostorn thought for a moment and advised, "Zorn, it's not easy to meet someone you like. Talk to him. Maybe he will be willing to accompany you back to Paris."

Sun Ran swallowed his saliva. He refused to tell Li Cheng because he thought Li Cheng might go with him. If Li Cheng followed him...

Many things will be troublesome. That guy doesn't know those people and doesn't know my past. Why should I drag him into the quagmire and live with me in humiliation?

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, uncle. Is it urgent at the Castei family? If not, I'd like to go there on the 10th." Sun Ran licked his lips. At least give him some time, some time to say goodbye properly.

There was silence on the other end. Today was the 4th, and there were only a few days left until the 10th. The other party should agree.

"I'll talk to them. It's only a few days away. I'll give you a reply later."

"Okay." Sun Ran looked at the hung up phone, feeling confused for a moment.

If I had known this would happen today, I should have done it last night so that he could leave. Sun Ran raised his hand and looked at the bracelet. Sure enough, after a few good days, he was reluctant to leave.

Sun Ran, why are you so mean?

Didn’t you say you wouldn’t like him?

Then what are you sad about?

He let out a long sigh, turned around, took out some letter paper and pen from his suitcase, and sat down to write something.

What would Li Cheng think when he saw this letter?

Should you blame me or forgive me?

Sun Ran looked at the letter paper and couldn't bring himself to write the first word for a long time.

Those words were clearly hanging in his heart, but he couldn't make up his mind to write them down. He frowned and thought, could it be... that I really can't bear to part with him?

He shook his head violently. Are you crazy?! Who the hell are you? How dare you like someone else?! Look at yourself. How can you be half human?

If people don't despise you, you should be grateful. How dare you have improper thoughts about others? Sun Ran, don't forget that you are a patient, a lunatic!

He finally put pen to paper, and along with all the words he wanted to say but couldn't, he put them all on paper and ink. However, he could never say those words out loud.

When Li Cheng came back, it was already past six o'clock. Sun Ran had already put away his things without revealing any flaws.

He gently pushed the door open and saw Sun Ran sitting in the yard, looking up at the sunset sky.

Hearing the door open, Sun Ran turned around and smiled at him, "You're back? Grandma was just saying that if you don't come back, we'll have to eat dinner by ourselves."

He stood up and walked to Li Cheng, "Why do you look so bitter and resentful? Are you unhappy?"

Hearing this, Li Cheng barely managed to curl his lips and said, "I wanted to buy you a small cake, but I went too late and the one I usually eat at was sold out."

When Sun Ran heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, "I thought something had happened, it's just a piece of cake, and besides, I'm not a child, so forget it."

Seeing him smile, Li Cheng took the opportunity to tell him about the video call with his grandfather that night. Unexpectedly, Sun Ran gave him a strange look and tapped his chest with a finger. "Do you need to tell me such a small thing? I'm not a rude and unreasonable person. Just fight me."

"I'm afraid you won't recognize him and it'll be awkward." Li Cheng held his fingers and smiled softly, "Naughty."

"Tsk." Sun Ran retracted his hand and walked into the room first.

Li Cheng shook his head helplessly and followed.

"By the way, grandpa said he'll get you a new psychiatrist, a gentleman." Li Cheng took off his watch and untied his tie, then heaved a sigh of relief, "Finally I'm free, my neck was so stuffy."

Sun Ran frowned and glanced at his neck, and saw that the red marks had broken the skin at some point, and it would be strange if it wasn't uncomfortable when touched by sweat.

"…It's none of my business. I told you I have no experience. You did it yourself." Sun Ran rolled his eyes at him and sat down on the bed. "I told you I don't want a doctor. I don't want a male or female doctor."

"Zorn, it finally worked, and you're much happier, aren't you? I promise, there will be no problem this time. He's married, and he's about the same age as your third brother and the others." Li Cheng sat next to him and gently persuaded him to accept this doctor.

After more than ten minutes of persuasion, Sun Ran still had a stern face and kept shaking his head. He refused when asked the first time, and got angry when asked again.

Li Cheng licked his lips. He had been talking for so long, and then he realized that his mouth was dry. Seeing that persuasion was useless, he simply shrugged and poured himself some water to drink.

"I told you that I don't like doctors. Didn't you say you would listen to me from now on? It turns out that what men say in bed cannot be trusted." Sun Ran glared at him. "Besides, I'm much better now. I don't need a doctor."

Li Cheng sighed, "How about this, let him come over first, just in case."

What the hell, I'm going back to Paris in a few days, you just keep it for yourself!

Sun Ran cursed inwardly, got up and left the room to go to the kitchen.

"Hey..." Li Cheng had just swallowed a mouthful of water when he saw him storming out. He immediately reached out to stop him, but unexpectedly choked himself and started coughing.
