He said he doesn't love me

Monday, May 13, 8 a.m.

Sun Ran finished washing up and sat at the table eating bread. He looked at the time and planned to rent a house near the college in the afternoon. Although he could afford to stay in a hotel for a long time, it would be too conspicuous and easy to be targeted.

When he thought that it was not safe for him to live alone, he simply decided to share the house.

"Fortunately, I told the college to report on Wednesday, so I still have a chance to take care of other things." Sun Ran looked in front of the mirror, then turned around resolutely, left the hotel and went to the barber shop.

It was almost one o'clock when I came out of the barber shop.

The sun was shining brightly at that time, and the whole of New York was immersed in a golden ocean. At this time, Sun Ran, with a newly dyed iris hair and a lollipop in his mouth, was walking through the streets and alleys.

He walked and stopped, glancing at a corner not far behind him. Sun Ran licked his lips in annoyance. He knew he was easy to be targeted, but he didn't expect those people to be so brazen in broad daylight and follow him for ten minutes!

"Is there really such a fool?" Sun Ran suddenly stopped, and sure enough, the footsteps behind him also stopped. As if it had been planned for a long time, Sun Ran did not move, and the footsteps stopped.

Depend on!

Sun Ran cursed inwardly, bit the lollipop into pieces, and rushed to the left. The person behind him was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and did the opposite, changing direction to block Sun Ran's way.

"Stupid as hell"

Suddenly, a soft laugh was heard from a corner of the wall, but the sound was too small and was eventually drowned out by the wind.

Sun Ran stood on the high wall, overlooking the figure that was gradually moving away. Suddenly, he felt that his fear just now was really ridiculous.

No matter who sent this person, the person who sent him might not be very smart.

It would be fine if he was following in broad daylight, but his footsteps were so obvious, and he didn't even bother to think before chasing. Sun Ran lowered his eyes and looked at the stones piled up at the foot of the wall. The stones were even a little shaky. If this person had any brains, he wouldn't have escaped so easily.

"There are so many blind spots everywhere. You didn't continue chasing me but chose to block me. Then just block me slowly." Sun Ran supported himself on the wall, flipped over and jumped down. He got rid of the tail temporarily and could go check the house.

Sun Ran took out his cell phone and looked at the houses for rent nearby. Finally, he chose an apartment that was close to the college, less than five kilometers away.

He stretched, threw the garbage in his hand into the trash can, glanced at the location of the apartment, and walked over there.

After crossing the road and turning into Huayuan Community, ten minutes later, Sun Ran stood in front of the Delos Apartment.

"Beep beep..."

Sun Ran walked to the side, made sure he was in the right place, and dialed the phone number left by the tenant.

"Beep beep..."

No one answered the phone, Sun Ran frowned and wanted to turn around and leave immediately. He only had two days, and he had to find a future residence, hospital, and school admission in these two days.

He didn't have time to wait, after all, this was not his only option. However, this was the best option.

He stood there and waited for a while, and when he saw that the other party still had no intention of calling him back, he turned around and looked for the next person. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder, and Sun Ran's pupils suddenly dilated. He was unfamiliar with this place, so who would greet him in this way?

Could it be that the guy was chasing after me?

Without time to think, Sun Ran dodged and ran away. The person behind him saw this and hurriedly explained, "You want to share the apartment, right? Sorry, I was busy just now, so I didn't answer your call."

Sun Ran paused when he heard this and looked up at him.

The man had dyed his hair a beautiful red, and his green eyes stared at Sun Ran without blinking. He wore a pair of golden half-frame glasses on his tall nose, his lips were a beautiful color, and with his white casual clothes, he looked particularly handsome.

"It's me. Are you the owner?" Sun Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought he was going to die here, but it turned out to be a mistake. Sun Ran looked up and down at the person who came, and the other person also looked up and down at him, but in just a moment, the person withdrew his gaze.

"I'm the landlord and also your roommate. My parents were worried about me living alone, so they asked me to rent with someone, but I waited for many days before you showed up." The man scratched his head and stretched out his hand to Sun Ran. "Hello, I'm a first-year student in the piano class of the Juilliard School. My name is Zhang Xu, nice to meet you."

Sun Ran stretched out his hand and shook his hand. "Hello, my name is Tang Chen, and I'm also a first-year student in the piano class at the Juilliard School. Nice to meet you. Can you take me to see the house first?" He looked up at Zhang Xu, then at the people around him, and realized that the people here seemed to be generally taller.

The person in front of him was at least 1.85 meters tall. Sun Ran curled his lips imperceptibly, hoping that the house would be the same as described, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a large balcony.

"Of course, come with me. Are you also a student of the Conservatory of Music?" Zhang Xu took him into the elevator, pressed the button for the fifth floor and asked, "Then why haven't I seen you in class before?"

Sun Ran looked down at his finger and responded, "I'm a freshman and will report on Wednesday."

"This semester will be over in less than two months, why not come back in September?" Zhang Xu looked at his whorls of hair and suddenly reached out to touch them, but that would be too abrupt, so he had to put his hands in his pockets to control himself.

"Is it illegal?" Sun Ran raised his eyebrows, put his phone in his pocket, and looked up at him. "Didn't anyone stipulate that we can't report at this time?"

Zhang Xu shook his head blankly, "That's true...your hair color is pretty good, it makes you look very fair."

Sun Ran opened his lips slightly, but said nothing. He just raised his hand and touched his head, "Thank you."

"Where are you from?" Zhang Xu waved his phone at him, "Add me, we'll be roommates and classmates from now on."

"Okay." Sun Ran thought about it and felt that he was right, so he exchanged phone numbers and WeChat accounts with him.

"drop!"

The elevator bell rang, and Sun Ran took a look and saw that they had reached the fifth floor.

Zhang Xu stepped out of the elevator first and led him to the door. He took out a small card from his bag and touched it against the door, which opened with a beep.

Sun Ran, who was waiting for him to take out the key, couldn't help but be surprised. Why didn't Chantilly have one of these good things? He had to fetch the key every time he went back.

Sun Ran tilted his head and looked at the card, "Do I have one too?"

Zhang Xu nodded and said, "If you are sure you want to move in, I can take you to complete the process." He opened the door and took Sun Ran around the room.

"Look, it's the same as in the introduction. One hundred square meters, two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a balcony." Zhang Xu pushed open the door to the balcony, pointed at the flowers planted on it and smiled at Sun Ran, "You can plant some small things. Look at that flower, I've been raising it for almost half a year."

Sun Ran took a look and saw a pot of beautiful tulips, which were poking their heads out in the wind and basking in the sun.

"Not bad, what about the rent? Is it the same as what was said?" Sun Ran pushed open the door of the room, and there was nothing inside except a bed, a table, and a bookcase. He walked into the room and carefully checked the bathroom and toilet. After seeing that there was no problem, he happily thought that this was the place.

Zhang Xu poured him a glass of water, sat on the sofa and thought for a while, "We are alumni and classmates, so it can be considered fate. How about this, two thousand five hundred dollars a month?"

Sun Ran looked around, picked up the cup and took a sip, "Okay, then how about the water and electricity bills?"

"30/70. I like playing games and taking baths, so I definitely use more water and electricity than you." Zhang Xu stretched. "If you think it's okay, I'll take you to get a door card later."

"Sure." Sun Ran transferred the money to him on the spot. "I'll be there on Wednesday. Can you take me with you?"

Zhang Xu was stunned when he heard that. He was about to say that he seldom went to school, but when he met Sun Ran's eyes, he found that he couldn't say no. "Of course, you can sit with me when the time comes. There's no one next to me."

Sun Ran nodded, "Then I'll go get my things first. They're still at the hotel." He stood up and was about to leave, but when he thought of his suitcases, he turned his head and looked at the tall Zhang Xu, "Can you help me with my luggage? I have a lot of stuff."

Zhang Xu readily agreed and followed him out.

"Then you can apply for the card on your way back. By the way, I haven't asked where you are from. I am half Chinese, because my father is Chinese, but my mother is from here." Zhang Xu looked at Sun Ran who had been silent all the way and asked.

"I'm from Paris" Sun Ran made up without thinking. After all, the name was fake, so it didn't matter whether the identity was real or fake.

"Oh... do you know that our hair color has other meanings?" Zhang Xu touched his head and asked sincerely.

Sun Ran frowned slightly, "What does it mean?"

Is it not allowed to dye your hair blue in New York? Sun Ran lowered his eyes and thought about it, but if this was not allowed, there was no way the stylist would not tell him.

Seeing that he didn't know, Zhang Xu stopped joking and said, "It's nothing, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Sun Ran didn't want to know in the first place, so he naturally stopped asking. He took Zhang Xu upstairs to his room and pointed at the suitcases. "Can you take them? If not, I'll call someone."

"...How come you have so many suitcases?" Zhang Xu opened his mouth in surprise and turned to look at Sun Ran. No wonder he had nothing on him except a cell phone.

All the emotional things are in the hotel.

"Don't panic, I'll just call my friend to help." Zhang Xu smiled at him and called his friend, "Are you done with school? Come and help me carry some things."

"Brother, not yet. Give me the address and I'll go there after school."

Zhang Xu curled his lips, and after hanging up the phone, he shrugged at Sun Ran, "Wait a little longer, they will be here at four o'clock."

Sun Ran glanced at the suitcase, then at Zhang Xu, sighed, and sat on the bed. "Actually, I can take it myself, but my hands don't allow me to do so."

He stretched out his hand, looked into the light, and then drew it back.

As if he heard some disappointment in his tone, Zhang Xu glanced at his hand and asked, "What's wrong with your hand? Is it hurt?"

Sun Ran nodded, but didn't intend to say anything more. After all, this was his privacy, and he didn't want others to treat him as a protected animal.

Just like how Li Cheng treated him, he would always pay attention to his situation while eating with chopsticks...

He didn't know why, but the unbearable pain in his heart spread all over his body again, causing him to pinch his palms tightly. Sun Ran tried to slow down his breathing, but it had little effect.

Finding a hospital is now equally important, he thought.

But where can he find a doctor who can help him wholeheartedly?

Seeing that Sun Ran didn't look well, Zhang Xu had no choice but to sit aside and play with his mobile phone, waiting for the people who came to help to finish school.

Time passed quickly and it was already past twelve o'clock. Zhang Xu put down his phone and asked Sun Ran if he was hungry. He was going to buy something to eat.

"I'm not very hungry, just buy yours." Sun Ran collapsed on the bed weakly, wrapped tightly in the quilt. Zhang Xu pursed his lips and turned away.

Sun Ran listened to the footsteps getting farther and farther away, until he could no longer hear them clearly. He then got up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom.
