He said he doesn't love me
Chapter 31: A trip to the coast, meeting an old friend again (2)
At half past ten, Sun Ran and Xia Yi got on the bus to Binhai. Binhai is a bit far from Nanjiang, and it takes two hours to get there by car.
Sun Ran had been extremely excited during these two hours. This was the first time he had traveled far away since he took over the body, and he was going to have fun. How could he not be excited?
Thinking back to the time when he was away from home, the only time he accompanied his boss on a business trip was when he had to arrange everything for his boss, serve him tea and water when he talked, and order and pay for his boss' meals.
In short, he likes to go out, but only on his own. If he goes somewhere with a purpose or plan, he will not be interested.
He likes everything unknown, including this trip. He likes the surprise of just going on a whim without any preparation!
"It's still a long way to go. Do you want to sleep for a while?" Xia Yi stuffed his hands into his pockets. The closer he got to the sea, the colder it seemed to be.
Sun Ran shook his head, "I don't want to sleep, you go to sleep, I'll call you when we get there."
Xia Yi nodded and did not refuse. He really did not sleep well last night. He had just finished preparing for the design competition and it was already past one in the morning. He wanted to find someone to chat with, but everyone was asleep. He originally wanted to call Sun Li, but then he remembered that he was busy negotiating business with other companies recently.
It was almost three o'clock when I fell into a drowsy sleep.
Seeing that he closed his eyes and fell asleep, Sun Ran rummaged through his schoolbag and took out a small blanket to cover Xia Yi. It is easiest to catch a cold when sleeping, so he must be careful.
The journey is long and I am feeling sleepy.
Sun Ran's heart, which was originally excited about going out, slowly calmed down. Looking at the unfamiliar things outside the window, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes bitterly, "Is this the legendary homesickness?"
Sun Ran took out his earphones and put them on, listening to light music and staring at the sky in the distance, seeming to find it boring. He simply turned off his phone and took out a novel to read.
As I was fascinated by the scene, the car stopped in front of a courtyard.
"Are we there yet?" Sun Ran looked at the eaves outside the window. There were door gods and couplets on both sides of the retro gate, and two majestic stone lions stood next to it.
It looks like it's been around for quite some time.
The driver nodded, "We're here sir, this is where you've been located."
"Oh, OK." Sun Ran woke up Xia Yi and put the book into his schoolbag. "Master, how much is it?"
"No need, sir. The gentleman next to you has already paid. Do you need my help with your luggage?" The driver got out of the car and opened the trunk. Sun Ran and Xia Yi got out of the car, each carrying their own things.
"No, thank you." Xia Yi shook his head and refused, then took Sun Ran into the house.
Sun Ran looked around as soon as he entered the door. It turned out to be a quadrangle courtyard. The sunlight penetrated the square patio, casting mottled shadows on the ground, which was a romance unique to nature.
"Look around, I'm going to the bathroom. There's a garden over there, you can go over and take a look." Xia Yi pointed to the stone door on the side and then went to the bathroom.
Sun Ran left the suitcase where it was and walked into the garden.
As he entered the door, he was attracted by the colorful plants. He originally thought that it would be barren inside, but all he saw was lush greenery, and the overgrown weeds he had imagined did not exist.
Two huge crabapple trees were growing in the corner of the wall, and some of their branches had already protruded out of the wall. The surroundings were all white. Sun Ran walked over and took a closer look. It turned out to be a vibrant field of white willow-leaf lilies.
The white willow leaves were mixed with some morning mist and Buddha horns, and there seemed to be some wild flowers that could not be named.
"It's so beautiful, much better than the one at home!" He took a lot of photos with his mobile phone and sent them to the family group, telling his parents and brothers that he had arrived in Binhai and asked everyone not to worry.
When his parents saw this, they directly gave him some money so that he could have fun.
All the brothers in the group gave thumbs up, saying that the flowers were beautiful and that their younger brother’s photography skills were great.
Sun Ran sighed and thought, forget it, no one probably understands what he wants to do.
He picked out a few beautiful ones and posted them on his Moments.
A bunch of people liked his post, and Sun Li was the first to comment on it.
Brother San: Very beautiful, thumbs up!!
Following closely behind were Sun Yan and Sun Qing, both of whom were identical roses. Sun Qi was busy with work, so he clicked the like button and disappeared. The next second, he received a call from Li Cheng.
"Hey?"
Sun Ran squatted down and touched the purple asparagus that stood out among a bunch of white asparagus. He wondered if it was the only one alive, as it looked very lonely.
Among a group of white flowers, it stands out, yet lives freely and unrestrainedly, not affected at all. Instead, it blooms more gorgeously than Bai Wan.
Li Cheng thought for a moment and said, "The flowers are beautiful."
Sun Ran curled his lips, "Oh, thank you. Is that why you called me?"
"No, do you like Liuye Baiwan?" The secretary was waiting for Sun Ran's answer, and the purchase interface was already opened on his phone.
It seems that as soon as Sun Ran said he liked the flower seedlings, he immediately placed an order for them the next second.
Sun Ran smiled, "How do you know?!"
Li Cheng heard his tone change and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was looking in the right direction.
So he scribbled and revised the plan, writing a bunch of words that no one else could understand.
"I saw your circle of friends and thought you should like it. Does Ziwan like it?" Li Cheng nodded to the secretary, and the secretary immediately went to check Ziwan's price.
Sun Ran looked at Zi Wan swaying in the wind and said softly, "You are the first person to ask me if I like you or not. Do you have any special abilities? For example, can you hear other people's thoughts?"
"No, I just think that you have seen many flowers, if you don't like them, you won't post them on WeChat Moments." Li Cheng explained, "Because I am that kind of person too."
Sun Ran laughed, "It seems like we have a tacit understanding! So what do you want to do? Are you going to replace the weeping jasmine at home with Bai Wan and Zi Wan?"
Li Cheng was slightly stunned when he thought of this. Sun Ran paused and said, "No way, do you really have this idea?"
"Well, I'm looking at the seedlings."
"Brother, calm down. I was just in a spur of the moment. Even if I have money, I shouldn't spend it like this. Besides...how come you are so fast?"
Li Cheng didn't want to admit that he was fast, but it was the fact, so he had to change the subject, "I don't like Jasmine, it's a good opportunity to change."
"It's up to you. I'll keep him in your house anyway." Sun Ran stood up and stretched. "Have you eaten?"
It was almost half past one, so there shouldn't be anyone else who hadn't had lunch yet like them.
He just asked casually and didn't expect the other party to answer. After all, it was so late and most people would have already eaten.
"Not yet. I don't know what to eat. Do you have any recommendations?" Li Cheng flipped through his notes. The second step read: Find the skills, ask the other person about their life preferences, remember their likes and dislikes, and you won't make mistakes when making a dinner appointment.
"Do I recommend it?" Sun Ran thought for a moment, "Do you know that there is a large billboard in Nanjiang? It says Xunli there."
Li Cheng nodded, "I know, I pass by here often."
"It's easier now that you know. I heard from Lele that there's a new Sichuan restaurant over there called Yufeng. You can go and try it. If it's delicious, we can go together next time."
"Okay. Do you like spicy food?" Li Cheng wrote down the name of the Sichuan restaurant and asked, "What should I order?"
Sun Ran walked out of the garden, intending to look for Xia Yi, but his steps were attracted by a white magnolia tree in the southeast corner.
The flowers are pointing upwards, white as jade, and you can smell their fragrance if you get close.
"Then try the must-order Sichuan dishes, Mapo Tofu, Maoxuewang, Spicy Chicken and Spicy Fish. Can you handle spicy food?" Sun Ran asked, and Li Cheng smiled.
Is he starting to care about me?
"It's OK. It's not super spicy and I'm fine with it."
"Then you can order the mild spicy one first. I'm afraid you can't handle the spiciness of Sichuan cuisine. Oh, remember to buy some milk so you don't cry because of the spiciness."
"Okay, see you tomorrow night. I'm going to eat first. Have you eaten yet?"
Sun Ran curved his eyebrows and said, "Not yet. I just arrived. It's time for dinner soon. I'll hang up first. See you tomorrow night."
"Well, see you tomorrow night."
Li Cheng asked his secretary to buy flower seedlings, planning to open up the unused rooftop and plant them there. Sun Ran also liked the weeping jasmine, but it was not a good idea to plant them together, so he could only plant them on the rooftop.
After looking at enough flowers and plants, Sun Ran returned to the suitcase. Xia Yi came out and took him to the room to put his things, and then took them out to eat.
It's Saturday, but there are very few people on the streets and only a few shops are open.
It wasn't as crowded as what was said online. Sun Ran looked puzzled. "Isn't Binhai a tourist city and crowded? Today is Saturday, so there should be a lot of people."
Xia Yi smiled, "It's true that it's a tourist city, but...Binhai has another title, the Rose of the Night." He pointed to the closed shops on both sides of the street in the distance, "The most famous thing here is the night market. Naturally, there are more people after nightfall. Let's go and have a bite to eat first, and then I'll take you to experience the charm of the 'Rose of the Night' in the evening!"
"Oh! So that's how it is! I thought everything on the Internet was a scam. Okay, just eat something!" Sun Ran took Xia Yi's arm, "Thank you in advance, brother. You have to hold me close tonight. I can easily get lost."
"Okay, become smaller, and I'll use a belt to tie it around your belt, okay?" Xia Yi tapped his nose, coaxing him like a child. Sun Ran laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back. "I want to, too, but I don't know what to do?! Can you think of a way, brother?"
"Don't worry, if you get lost, I'll use the loud speaker to shout: Sun Ran, little friend, please come to the lost and found office, your brother is waiting for you here."
"Hahahaha, brother is so nice!" Sun Ran patted Xia Yi's shoulder. The two walked into a restaurant and ordered two side dishes for lunch.
After dinner, the two returned to the courtyard to rest. Sun Ran was still sleepy in the morning, so he lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Xia Yi washed his shoes and clothes, and returned to the room to call Sun Li to report that he was safe.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Sun Ran got up to drink water, but he couldn't find a water dispenser or a kitchen. He was really thirsty, so he went to look for someone, but Xia Yi was still sleeping, so he had no choice but to send a message to Xia Yi, saying that he was going out to buy a drink and not to worry if he couldn't find him when he got up.
Sun Ran took his phone and went out, planning to go shopping. It was already afternoon, and the shops on the street were opening one after another, and more and more people were coming.
The originally deserted streets gradually became lively. The setting sun in the distance was glowing slightly red, gradually lengthening the shadows of people on the ground.
As the sun set, the street lights came on one after another, and small stalls were set up one after another. The aroma was so fragrant that Sun Ran couldn't help swallowing.
The "Rose of the Night", which has been silent for a whole day, is finally waking up!
He walked around, and soon he had a lot of things in his hands. Barbecue, candied haws, roasted sweet potatoes, grilled squid, grilled tofu...
Sun Ran felt like he had one stomach doing the work of three stomachs. He always felt like he wanted to eat more, but he couldn't eat anymore. He packed some and planned to take it back for Xia Yi to try. Not sure if it was his illusion, Sun Ran suddenly stopped.
Someone behind him also stopped and pretended to buy something, and walked to a stall selling pots, pans, and utensils.
A man in a suit stopped not far from Sun Ran. Among the pile of casual clothes, the well-fitting suit seemed out of place.
Sun Ran repeated the same trick several times and confirmed that the other party was following him, and immediately felt like he was facing a powerful enemy.
Could it be the original body's romantic debt again? ! Aren't one Li Cheng and one Fu Ci enough?
Who will it be this time? !
The man must have realized that he was exposed, so he simply took a few steps forward to block Sun Ran's way, "Zorn, long time no see."
Sun Ran finally saw the man's face clearly. On his not-so-handsome face, there was a long scar that stretched from his left eye to the right side of his face, making him look horrible.
It looks awkward no matter how you look at it with this suit.
But he had a good figure, with long arms and legs and a slender waist. Sun Ran searched his mind for a long time but had no memory of this person.
This feeling was too familiar, indicating that the original body had forgotten the memory of the person in front of him through the electric shock.
Could it be that he is also related to the original body’s past events?
"Hello... hello, I was injured and lost my memory some time ago, and I can't remember many things. May I ask, who are you..." Sun Ran came up with a universal excuse, and sure enough, he saw a flash of surprise on the other person's face.
Obviously he didn't know what happened to Sun Ran during this period.
The man smiled and said, "I'm Xu Xingyue, your dance teacher. Of course... not anymore."
Dance teacher?!
That dance teacher who suddenly disappeared? ! !
"Teacher... why are you here?" Sun Ran handed him the snack in his hand, "Would you like to try it?"
"No, my stomach is not feeling well. Have you eaten?" Xu Xingyue shook her head and refused Sun Ran's food.
Sun Ran smiled slightly, "Not yet, I'll go first then."
"Do you hate me?"
If I say I hate you, will you hit me?
Sun Ran shook his head with a fake smile, "How could that be? I still have to go back. Teacher, can we have dinner together some other day?"
I just said it casually, I didn't mean it seriously, don't agree with me!
The man nodded, "Then wait a moment. Would you like to add your contact information?" He shook his phone, not giving Sun Ran any reason to refuse.
"What? Does Zorn look down on me? Well... my face is injured, it looks ugly..." He took back his phone and Sun Ran had to agree and added him as a friend.
