He said he doesn't love me

The next morning, Sun Ran dressed neatly and tiptoed out of the apartment, facing the breeze and the rising sun.

He looked at the location on his phone, then raised his head to look at the particularly dilapidated neighborhood in front of him, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Is Ryan sure he gave the right address?

The talented Dr. Zhong he mentioned...

Would you live in a place like this?

It turned out that just last night, Sun Ran asked Siwei to help him find a reliable doctor, preferably one near his apartment.

Siweite immediately mobilized Aijero's former connections, and when those people heard that it was Aijero's child who needed treatment, they immediately introduced a number of reliable doctors. After Siweite and De Ruth screened through layers of screening, only one doctor named Zhong, Zhong Caiye, was left.

Sun Ran found a place to sit down, planning to ask around when he met someone, but he didn't expect to have to wait for half an hour.

Not to mention people, not even a dog was seen.

Sun Ran ran out of patience and immediately called Siwei Te to ask for the doctor's contact number. Siwei Te gave the address to the community, he couldn't search every household, right?

"Beep beep..."

The phone was picked up after just two rings. Sun Ran began to pace in annoyance. "Swei Te, do you have the doctor's phone number? I've been to the location you gave me, but I don't see anyone."

"Master, you've arrived, right? Doctor Zhong said he went to the apartment to pick you up. Oh, look at my brain, I actually forgot to tell you. Please find a place to sit down, I'll call him right away." Siwei Te hung up the phone in a hurry and contacted Zhong Caiye. After asking what happened, there was silence on the other end.

But he still nodded and walked back.

Sun Ran felt like his lungs were about to explode when he heard this. This person's thinking was getting more and more unreliable! He said he would keep his address secret from outsiders, but he turned around and gave the address to someone else? !

If Siwei Te didn't give him a seat, how could the other party pick him up? !

"Damn..." Sun Ran pursed his lips. He hadn't even had breakfast. Was it just to go somewhere else to have an empty stomach?

He sighed and sat back down helplessly. He just hoped that this person could be truly reliable, and not just a name.

At that time, the sun shone through the clouds and shone on Sun Ran's face. He had to raise his hand to block it. But this action pulled the wound again, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly. It was still painful, and he pulled the corner of his mouth in self-mockery.

I put my hands down and let the sunlight shine on my face. The sunlight at this time was not too glaring, but it still made it difficult to open my eyes after looking at it for a long time.

Suddenly, the sunshine disappeared. Sun Ran looked up and saw an umbrella above his head. He blinked to relieve the discomfort, then turned to look at the owner of the umbrella.

The man was wearing light green casual clothes, black pants and white canvas shoes, and he looked youthful.

The man had white hair draped over his shoulders, with a few strands of blue in it, and he wore sparkling earrings on his ears, like twinkling stars. He looked like he was about to be beaten. He had a kind smile on his face, his eyebrows curved, and his thin lips slightly raised, "Hello, Master Zuo En, I am Zhong Caiye, a student your father once sponsored."

"Hello, Doctor Zhong." Sun Ran let down his guard after he introduced himself and took his hands out of his pockets. "You look..."

Zhong Caiye raised an eyebrow, raised his other hand to play with his limp bangs, and continued, "Isn't he quite like the doctor you imagined?"

Sun Ran shook his head honestly. In his impression, doctors should wear the same white coat, have a serious face, and live every day without smiling.

Zhong Caiye smiled softly, "Then just treat me as a friend, not a doctor." He stuffed the umbrella into Sun Ran's hand, "Let's go, let's go up first."

Sun Ran suddenly felt a warm umbrella handle in his hand. He lowered his eyes to look at his hand, then looked at Zhong Caiye's back, and once again felt extremely annoyed for almost pulling out a knife.

Sun Ran, why was your first reaction to take action instead of avoiding it?

He sighed to himself and followed him upstairs.

"I originally wanted to pick you up, but we were on the same page and went to each other's address." Zhong Caiye took out the key and opened the door. Suddenly he turned around and glanced at Sun Ran. "Aren't you hot? It's May and you're still wearing a coat. I always carry an umbrella when I go out."

Sun Ran pinched the corner of his clothes and didn't respond.

Zhong Caiye had expected this reaction, and without waiting for his answer, he turned around and changed his shoes and went into the house. He found a new pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet and placed them under Sun Ran's feet. "Change your shoes first, I'll take the meat out of the refrigerator to defrost it."

"Okay." Sun Ran put away the umbrella, changed his shoes and went into the room.

From time to time, a breeze blew in the bright room. Sun Ran took a look and found that it was the wind outside the window. He sat on the sofa awkwardly, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, ready to find someone to chat with to kill time, but he forgot that he had changed his card and lost contact with all his old friends.

I opened the contacts and saw only a few.

He suddenly lost interest in chatting and just started watching videos.

"Try it." Zhong Caiye brought a few sandwiches from the kitchen. The size of the roast chicken was so amazing that it didn't look like they were bought.

Sun Ran put down his phone, took the gloves and put them on. Zhong Caiye put the food on the table, watched him take a bite, and then turned back to the kitchen.

The aroma of the sandwich made Sun Ran take a bite. The filling inside was delicious, whether it was roasted chicken or lettuce, they were very tasty. He finished one in a few bites, licked his lips with some satisfaction, but he didn't plan to continue eating.

He doesn't have a good appetite. If he can't finish the second meal after just a few bites, it would not only be a waste but also extremely impolite.

After a while, Zhong Caiye came out again with a cup of fragrant milk tea in one hand. He glanced at Sun Ran, then glanced at the plate, "Have another one, don't be polite to me." He sat next to Sun Ran and put the milk tea on the table, "This is cooked according to the method my teacher taught me, try it and see if it tastes the same."

Sun Ran sniffed it, picked up the cup and took a sip. It tasted very similar to what Aijero cooked, but only similar.

"It's a little different, but it tastes good." Sun Ran blew on it and took another sip. "I didn't expect you could cook for yourself."

"Hahaha, have you heard of this saying? When you are in a foreign country, you either have to be able to survive starvation or have superb cooking skills." Zhong Caiye took a sandwich and started eating. He swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled at Sun Ran. "I told you not to treat me as a doctor. I'm older than you, so just call me brother. The doctor was especially good to me when he was alive, so it's my responsibility to take care of you."

Sun Ran pursed his lips but didn't respond. He thought about it carefully and found that Ai Jie Luo didn't seem to have mentioned this person. Could it be... Ai Jie Luo didn't want him to know?

"Can I call you Zorn?" Zhong Caiye finished the sandwich in front of him in a few bites, took two sips of milk tea, and looked up at Sun Ran.

Sun Ran nodded, "Okay."

"Then you can call me brother or just my name. Stay for lunch and I'll let you taste my cooking." He rolled up his sleeves, pulled the rubber band on his wrist to tie his hair back, and grinned at Sun Ran, "You really look like the lady, but I've never seen her. I've only heard the master mention her often."

"I haven't seen you either. I heard from my father that my mother was a very beautiful person who liked music and sunflowers." Sun Ran finished his milk tea and put the cup on the table. "I don't think I've heard my father mention you."

Zhong Caiye waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's normal that you didn't mention it. Sir, you have sponsored many people, so you may not remember me." He smiled without any sadness, as if not being remembered was not a big deal for him.

Sun Ran licked his lips, not knowing what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere. Should he not speak?

"Are you full?" Zhong Caiye put away the cups and plates, made room for them, and asked.

"Yeah." Sun Ran swallowed. Is... it going to start?

"Don't be nervous. Today we are just trying to understand the basic situation. We won't ask too many questions. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to." Zhong Caiye curved his eyebrows and raised his hand to unbutton two buttons. "Take off your clothes. It's quite hot in the room."

Sun Ran opened his mouth, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then obediently took off his coat and put it aside. Without the cover of clothes, the exposed wounds were all exposed to Zhong Caiye's eyes.

I thought he would say something, but Zhong Caiye just glanced at the wounds, then looked away and fixed his gaze on Sun Ran's face, "What did you see at night? What did you see at night?"

Sun Ran was stunned, "Huh?"

Does this question have anything to do with what they want to talk about? He couldn't help but frown. Is this person really not professional enough?

Sun Ran clenched his fists helplessly, not understanding what he meant by asking this, "Black?" He tilted his head and said a color at night that everyone can see. Hearing this, Zhong Caiye rubbed the tip of his nose and smiled at him gently.

"Besides black, is there anything else?" He looked into Sun Ran's eyes and said, "The night in my eyes is also black. It's like a huge whirlpool that eats up everything that makes me happy, leaving only a mess on the ground."

Sun Ran blinked, "I like the abyss, but I am afraid of the night. It scares me... but it seems like there is a pair of hands pushing me in and pulling me out again and again, over and over again, until now."

Zhong Caiye nodded. This was not the first time he had heard such situations, but the person in front of him was his benefactor's only son, so he had to show more patience and concern.

"Pain makes you happy, right?" Zhong Caiye glanced at his wounds and counted them silently in his mind. There were eight in total, in different locations, and all covered by clothes.

"Yes." Sun Ran twisted his fingers, avoiding Zhong Caiye's eyes, "It didn't happen before. In the past, I could calm down by biting my lips or fingers. But...but now I don't know what's wrong. I need more and stronger pain to barely calm down, and it can only last for a while..." He raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Caiye, "Am I...really crazy?"

Zhong Caiye looked at him and shook his head gently. "You are just anxious, but you are far from crazy. Don't scare yourself. Did something happen in the meantime? Or did someone appear around you?"

"...Can I not answer?" Sun Ran let out a breath and pinched his palms tightly. He didn't want to talk about those bad things, and he didn't even want to think about them.

"Of course." Zhong Caiye smiled, "Do you have someone you like?" His eyes fell on the ring on Sun Ran's left hand, "Will things be better when he is with you?"

"It's getting better, but... I still want to lose my temper. I don't want him to be too close to me, but if there's someone else around him, I'll be unhappy and have nightmares..." Sun Ran picked up the cup and wanted to drink something, but found it was empty.

Zhong Caiye poured him a glass of water and continued, "Are the people in the nightmares all people you don't like?"

Sun Ran shook his head and drank the water in the cup. "Most of them are shadows. I can't see their faces clearly. I can only hear their voices."

"Well, do those voices say the same thing?"

"It's different. Every time I dream, it seems to be different."

The two of them talked back and forth for an hour. During this time, Zhong Caiye observed Sun Ran's subconscious movements and reactions while asking questions, and ended the conversation after making some considerations.
