He said he doesn't love me

As he was thinking, he became so engrossed that he unknowingly veered off the road and walked into the middle of the street. A car was coming towards him, and the horn honked urgently.

"Beep beep beep!!!"

"Beep beep beep!!!"

"Get out of the way!!"

Sun Ran suddenly came back to his senses and watched the car getting closer and closer to him, but he couldn't move an inch.

"Sun Ran!!!"

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed him by the waist and pulled him to the side of the road, so that he was off the road and back to the side of the road in an instant.

The crutch fell to the side. The man helped him up, turned around to pick up the crutch and stuffed it into his arms, looking at him anxiously, "What are you thinking about? Why did you walk to the road? Do you know how dangerous this is!"

"How did they let you go out alone? Seriously, no one followed you!!"

"You almost scared me to death just now, you know?!"

His words were full of concern and worry. Sun Ran looked up at him. His eyes were already red and a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.

It was as if the person whose life was hanging by a thread was a very important person to him.

"Thank you sir..." Sun Ran took a step back silently. Is there something wrong with this guy?

We are not even related to each other, so why would he be so worried about me?

The man opened his mouth slightly when he heard that, and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"You...you look a lot like my lover. Sorry, I was rude." The man smiled and explained.

Sun Ran blinked his eyes, "Sorry sir, I brought up your sad story. Thank you for saving me. How about this, I'll treat you to a meal?"

"Is this... too intrusive?"

"How could that be? You saved me, and it's only right that I repay you. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner." Sun Ran took out his cell phone and checked the time. It was past three o'clock, and it was not yet time for dinner.

"Well...how about we walk around and eat later?" Sun Ran smiled, "Sir, your voice sounds like someone I know."

The man stared at him in a daze, then smiled after a while, "Really? Then we are quite predestined. Is he your lover?"

Sun Ran shook his head. "I don't know who he is. I can't see his face clearly in my dreams, but I remember his voice. It's very similar to yours, very nice and gentle."

"is it?"

"Yes! But I don't remember what he looks like... Sir, if he knew, would he blame me?"

"No." The man smiled at him, "He won't blame you."

You didn't mean it, I won't blame you.

He was late, so how could he bring himself to blame him?

Sun Ran shook his phone and said, "Let's add each other's contact information, okay?"

The man shook his head.

"Don't get me wrong, I think you look familiar... Sorry. Let's find a place to sit down. It's tiring to stand." Sun Ran put away his phone and took the lead.

The man looked at his back, his eyes unconsciously falling on his legs. Does he still need crutches to walk?

He took a few steps forward to catch up, and chatted with Sun Ran all the way like friends meeting after a long separation.

They found a cafe, sat down and continued the previous topic.

"Then you and your lover must love each other very much, right?" Sun Ran put down his crutches and asked.

The man was puzzled, "Why do you feel that way?"

"Because you went abroad for him!" Sun Ran thought for a moment, "and before he left, he came to see you, hoping to get an answer from you. You two must be in love!"

But, it’s not.

The man twitched his lips and was speechless.

"I didn't understand what he meant." The man ordered two cups of cappuccino, a serving of eclairs, and two madeleine cakes.

Sun Ran stretched out a finger and shook it gently, pouting and saying, "It's not that you don't understand him. Maybe he doesn't know his own feelings either. He just needs a step to move on."

The man's eyes lit up, "Is that really the case?"

Sun Ran looked bewildered, "Sir, I am just expressing my thoughts, which may not be the same as his..."

But you are him.

The waiter brought the meal. Sun Ran's eyes lit up when he saw the dessert, and the man couldn't help but curl his eyebrows.

The man smiled and said, "We've been talking for so long, but I still haven't asked you what your name is?"

"Before asking someone's name, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Sun Ran raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "What's your name, sir?"

"Me? My name is Si Junyi." The man looked at him and said, "Okay, it's your turn to introduce yourself."

"My name is Zorn, and I'm from the Castei family. Sir, just call me Zorn!" Sun Ran smiled sweetly, pinched a puff and put it into his mouth.

"If you like it, eat more. I'll pack a portion for you to take home later." Si Junyi picked up the coffee and gently sipped the milk foam. Then he put down the cup and pinched a piece of cake to eat.

"Huh? Sir, you don't like desserts, why did you order so much?" Sun Ran was puzzled. "I can't eat that much either. I won't be able to eat soon. My father will be angry."

Si Junyi laughed, "Then tell him that you are full. I won't force you to eat."

"No, you don't know. My father hates it most when I eat snacks and skip meals. He always says that I'm too thin and prone to getting sick." Sun Ran curled his lips and ate another puff.

"I care about you because I love you, right?"

"I know, it just sounds annoying. Sir, how did you and your lover... meet?" Sun Ran took a sip of coffee, then propped up his chin and looked at the man.

Si Junyi lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before speaking softly, "We met on a rainy day."

"rain?"

"Yeah, rainy day."

Si Junyi talked about the past, paying attention to Sun Ran's reaction from time to time, but the other party just listened to it as a story.

It wasn't the reaction he wanted at all.

At five o'clock, Si Junyi rejected Sun Ran's invitation to dinner and left the cafe.

Sun Ran was staggering on his way home carrying a bunch of desserts. Perhaps as night fell, the few pedestrians on the street gradually disappeared.

"Si Junyi...what a nice name." Sun Ran smiled, "But it's a pity that his husband actually left him."

Thinking of that handsome face and gentle tone, Sun Ran couldn't help but want to replace him.

He reacted and shook his head quickly, "What are you thinking about? She already has someone she likes, and you're married. No, no, no, no."

But when he thought about what happened today, he felt particularly disgusted with Siwen.

She speaks so righteously, but it's just that she doesn't love him at all, and she's still making up all these weird excuses.

As he thought about this, he couldn't help but think of Si Junyi. It was clearly the first time they met, so why did he feel so familiar?

His thoughts gradually drifted away, giving him a flashy feeling.

"I'll beat you to death, you bastard!!!"

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from afar, and the sounds of shouting and crying entered his ears. Sun Ran didn't want to cause trouble, so he planned to take a detour after hearing the noise.

But the shrill cries made him stop.

It was a roar without words, like a trapped beast, unable to make a sound, only whimpering and wailing.

“No no!!!”

"Let me go! I'm not crazy!!"

"Get away!!!"

who is it?

Who is crying?

Sun Ran turned his head to look at the voices. Several people were holding sticks and waving their weapons around something. The crying became smaller and smaller, and weaker and weaker...

"what to do?"

When Sun Ran came back to his senses, he had already walked into the crowd.

A girl was lying on the floor, covered in blood, curling up her thin body and trying to protect herself.

The ferocious man on the side saw someone stand up, and immediately dropped the things in his hands, changed his previous irritability, put on a smile, and nodded at Sun Ran, "Sir, you don't know, this girl steals things every other day, she must be taught a lesson."

Sun Ran frowned, "What's the point of beating such a young child? If you want to teach, do you have anyone to teach? No, what's the point of having a teacher if beating is useful?! Do you really think that anything good can come out of a beating?"

The people around were stunned when they heard this, and one of them reacted and cursed, "You stinky boy, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. It didn't happen to you, right?!"

"That's right, sir! You are rich, so how can you understand how painful it is for ordinary people like us to lose a few hundred dollars!"

"Sir, you don't understand. We have taught you countless times, but you still can't control it!"

Sun Ran ignored them and looked at the man who had just spoken, "Doesn't she have any parents?"

The man sighed, "She is a beggar, she doesn't have any parents. I adopted her, but I didn't know I could discipline her..."

Sun Ran stared at him, and saw that there was no trace of guilt on his face. He lowered his head and looked at the dying girl, "I want her. I like children. I will adopt her."

The man's eyes widened when he heard this. "Sir, she can steal things. It's useless for you to take her back."

The person next to him pulled him and shook his head.

Sun Ran ignored their beating around the bush and directly expressed his thoughts, "Tell me, how much do you want?"

"Three million, sir. If you give me the money, I will immediately complete the procedures and let you adopt her." The man held out three fingers. The greed in his eyes made Sun Ran tremble all over. He couldn't imagine how a living person could be measured by money.

"Go through the formalities first, and I'll pay you later"

The man refused, "What if you cheat us?"

Just as Sun Ran was about to say something, the man asked, "Sir, you don't look very old. I'm afraid you can't adopt the child. The age difference between the two parties is forty years."

"Is it okay for me to ask my father to come?" Sun Ran glanced at him, "Let's go through the formalities. I'll pay you right away. Can I ask my father to come over now?"

"of course."

Sun Ran walked away and called Ai Jie Luo. After explaining the situation, the other party was very supportive and arrived at the scene more than ten minutes later.

"Father, this is the child!" Sun Ran pointed at the little girl, and Siwei stepped forward and held her in his arms.

"Whose adopted child is this? Come with us to handle the formalities!" Aijie Luo glanced around. The man just now was frightened by his aura and trembled for a while, then stood up.

"Sir, she is my child"

Ai Jie Luo squinted at him, "Jeroen Tail, right?"

The man nodded, "Yes sir, I am Gerontel."

"Go back and prepare your things, and come with us."

The man went back to get some things needed for the procedures and followed them to the government.

After they finished the formalities, Sun Ran transferred the money to the man and got into the car with the little girl.

"Go to the hospital." Ai Jie Luo got in the car and rubbed the little girl's head. Her face was full of vigilance. She only dared to stick half of her head out of Sun Ran's arms and looked at them vigilantly.

"Father, will she be called Zofi from now on?" Sun Ran asked. He saw his father wrote this name when he was doing the paperwork just now.

"Well, from now on she will be called Zoffy. She is your sister."

Sun Ran smiled and said, "Sister, I am your brother, don't be afraid, we will protect you!"

The little girl blinked her big eyes, not understanding what they were laughing at, but it seemed that they didn't want to hurt her. She slowly relaxed and stared at Sun Ran.
