He said he doesn't love me

"Ran Bao, are you going home for Qingming Festival?" Tang Lele took Sun Ran into a boutique and asked him while introducing the pendant she liked, "Today is the 15th of the lunar year. My brother sent me a message last night asking me if I would go back for Qingming Festival."

Is it fifteen already?

Sun Ran was a little dazed. He hadn't looked at his phone for nearly half a month, but he didn't realize that time had passed so quickly.

"Then do you want to go back?" He turned his head to look at Tang Lele and asked back.

"Of course I have to go back to worship my ancestors. What about you? Otherwise, let's go back together. Li Cheng should go back too. He is the only one in their family. There is no way he would not go back to worship his ancestors during the Qingming Festival." Tang Lele pursed her lips and thought for a while. "If you don't want to go home, then you can go home with me or with Li Cheng."

Li Chengming is going home?

Sun Ran sighed, "Come on, I won't go."

He is the only son, so he must go back, right?

Tang Lele tilted her head and looked at him, "If you didn't go back, didn't your brothers ask?"

Sun Ran shook his head. "I haven't contacted them. Okay, just go back. I'll wait for you to come back." He raised the corner of his mouth slightly. "Just bring me some delicious food."

Tang Lele pouted, "Of course! I plan to bring Han Junjiu back to meet my parents. I was thinking that we would go back together..."

"It's the same for you guys to go back. Forget it. There's no point in going back." Sun Ran retracted his gaze and fell on the jade string beside him. "This one looks pretty good."

"Changing the subject again." Tang Lele put down the things in her hand and looked at the jade necklace that Sun Ran mentioned was pretty good. She couldn't help but feel a little confused. "It's not a real jade. Do you like it? You can buy it and let Li Cheng hang it on the car as a pendant."

"What are you thinking? You don't have to buy it. Besides, I don't like it. I don't need jade." Sun Ran refused immediately after hearing this. "Although I know you don't need money, some things are unnecessary, so save some money."

Tang Lele stretched out her finger and tapped his chest, "Isn't the purpose of going out to play to have fun? If you like it, just buy it. What's the point of saving money like this? You're not happy, and you can't get what you want." He made a face, "It would be great if you were like me, heartless. If you have money, you buy it if you like it. If you don't have money, don't buy it."

Sun Ran sighed helplessly, "Okay, okay, it's up to you, okay?"

"Just tell me whether you like it or not." Tang Lele stared at the jade string. "The quality is indeed not that good, but it looks beautiful. If you like it, I'll buy it for you."

"Goodbye, young master. I just said it casually. If you do this again, I won't dare to say anything." Sun Ran said as he walked out the door and bumped into Han Junjiu who was coming in.

Han Junjiu hurriedly reached out to help him, but unexpectedly, Li Cheng beside him was quicker, and had already stabilized Sun Ran and asked, "Do you want to go out?"

Li Cheng saw that there was nothing wrong with his expression, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Are there any you like?"

Sun Ran shook his head. "I want to go out. It's very stuffy in there. Lele is in there. You go find him. I'm fine."

Seeing that he was fine, Han Junjiu nodded, walked into the store, and looked around for Tang Lele.

"Then let's go out."

Sun Ran took a deep breath and found a wooden chair to sit down with Li Cheng.

"Are you going home during the Qingming Festival?" Sun Ran asked casually, looking at the snow-white mountains in the distance.

Li Cheng hummed, "I want to go back. Why do you suddenly ask this? Come back with me. The flowers at home are blooming. Why don't you go back and take a look?"

Sun Ran shook his head gently, "I don't really want to go back. I finally came out, but I have to run back after not long. It's so boring." As he said this, he stopped sitting and stood up and walked to the fence.

The Southern Alps can still be seen from afar here, but you can't see the clear lake water or the beautiful scenery like a picture scroll.

There was only an artificial rockery and a pond. At this time, fish were playing around in groups, and occasionally poking their heads out, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Li Cheng saw that he was not in high spirits. He didn't know whether it was because he didn't see anything he liked, or because everyone was looking forward to going home during the Qingming Festival, but he alone seemed to have no home.

"Father said he wanted to meet you. We've been married for two years, and he still hasn't seen you." Li Cheng walked up to him and raised his hand to tidy up his hair that was messed up by the breeze. "Let's go get a haircut some other day? You've covered your eyes. What kind of hairstyle do you like? Do you want to take a look first?"

Sun Ran looked at him with a sidelong glance, "No, we're going to separate anyway, there's no need to meet the parents. I don't have any objection to the hairstyle, just cut it short like mine, I'm not picky." He raised his hand and looked at his bandaged finger, "There's still a month before it can be removed, right?"

"Almost, but it depends on the recovery. You need to massage regularly after the removal, so that your mobility can be restored to about 80% to 90% of the original." Li Cheng took his hand and gently rubbed his wrist. "I've been learning massage these two days. When you get better, I'll give you a massage, and you can recover faster."

It turns out that he has been learning these things with his mobile phone recently?

Sun Ran sniffed, "I just don't know if I can still play the piano."

The hand that was pinching his wrist had noticeably gained more strength, and just as he was about to pull his hand back, the strength returned to normal.

It doesn't hurt, but it feels a little itchy when the warm fingers touch me gently.

"You need to ask a doctor about this. But don't worry. Even if you can't play the piano anymore, no one will say anything, and no one dares to say anything." Li Cheng was afraid that he would be sad, so he continued, "Your tendons shouldn't be injured. Don't worry too much. You can't rush this kind of thing. The more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. If you can't play the piano anymore, can you teach me and I'll play it for you?"

His series of words left Sun Ran no chance to interrupt, but he could still feel the love and cherishment from his words.

Sun Ran couldn't help but chuckle, "Why do I feel like you're more worried than I am?"

"I..." Li Cheng touched his nose awkwardly, "I'm just worried that you'll be unhappy. You're my husband, so of course I'm worried."

"Li Cheng, thank you. You are the first person who cares about me so much..." As soon as Sun Ran said this, not to mention Li Cheng, even he himself was stunned.

How could he be the first?

Is it possible that no one has ever cared about me since I was a child?

I have four older brothers, how can I not be as good as him?

Sun Ran couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his brain.

Li Cheng was also confused.

How could I be the first one?

Has no one ever cared about him like this since he was a child?

Li Cheng pondered for a moment, then reached out and held the person in his arms. He couldn't help but choke up as he spoke, "It's okay. In the future, there will be more people who will care about you, love you, and cherish you. My family will also be your family."

"Thank you." Sun Ran let him hold her, closing her eyes and feeling the unreal tenderness.

"That doctor...did she say anything to you? About my condition or something like that." Sun Ran had felt enough, so he took a step back, leaning against the fence and asked him.

Li Cheng shook his head. "She hasn't understood it clearly yet, so there's no way to conclude anything for now. Sun Ran...can we have a name that belongs only to us, like you and Lele? It's weird to keep calling each other by our names."

He leaned over and grinned at Sun Ran, "Look, we got the marriage certificate, and... I keep calling you Sun Ran. I'm not used to it." Li Cheng licked his lips, "Anything is fine, as long as it's not a name. Do you have a nickname? Is Zuo En your name?"

Sun Ran raised his eyebrows, "So what? There are many people who call me Zorn."

Li Cheng swallowed his saliva when he heard this, "Then...what should I call you? Sir? Do you like this title?"

"Forget it, calling by name is fine." Sun Ran pursed his lips, as if thinking. After a while, he sighed as if relieved, "Forget it, whatever you want."

It's only been two years, so I'll just take this as a thank you for your continued concern.

It's just a name, can you eat me?

"Then...be good?" Li Cheng asked tentatively. Sun Ran glared at him immediately after hearing this. "Are you crazy? Do you want me to prove my gender? No, it sounds weird."

"Hmm... really?"

"What's the difference between that and Guaiguai?" Sun Ran was speechless. "Let's just call him Zuo En. At least it's more normal."

"Okay, Zorn." Li Cheng smiled, revealing a row of white and neat teeth, making Sun Ran feel like he had fallen into a trap.

"Ranbao!!" Tang Lele ran over here as soon as he walked out of the store, waving something shiny in his hand.

Sun Ran looked in response and saw that what he was holding in his hand was the jade necklace that he had casually praised.

Tsk, this is also a prodigal son.

He couldn't help but regret saying that. He should have been a mute.

"Ran Bao, here, it's for you." Tang Lele shook the jade necklace towards him, and then, regardless of whether Sun Ran wanted it or not, she directly stuffed it into Li Cheng's hand, "This is Ran Bao's, don't throw it away secretly!"

Li Cheng was speechless for a moment, "…Why would I throw his things?"

Tang Lele, "Ah, I was just giving you a warning, I didn't say you would lose it." He chuckled, "Ran Bao, let's go play over there, that activity should be starting soon. You have to cheer me up so that I can win the championship in one fell swoop!"

Sun Ran curled his lips and said, "I'm not an air pump, what do I need to pump air into?"

"It would be great if you had an air pump. I would swell up directly. Hahahaha." Tang Lele blinked at him. "I bought a gift for Han Junjiu, but I'm afraid he won't like it. Do you think this is too childish?"

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a thumb-sized seal with a pendant. The seal was carved from translucent carnelian and had a lifelike koi carved on it. He turned it over and saw two words engraved on it: Jiule.

"How about it, isn't it beautiful? I also prepared one for you." Tang Lele said as he took out a white seal of similar size, "I was afraid you wouldn't like it, so I only engraved the word 'ran' on it. Look, there's a chubby little rabbit engraved here."

"It's very beautiful. He will definitely like it." Sun Ran stroked the chubby rabbit and couldn't help but smile. "Thank you. I like it very much."

"As long as you like it, hehe." Tang Lele stuffed the two seals back into his pocket and said shyly, "Don't laugh at me for telling you this, this is the first time I give him a gift, and it's his birthday next month. I originally planned to carve it myself, but I don't know how, so I can only carve the words by hand."

Sun Ran raised his eyes slightly, "It's good that he has the heart. Why would he laugh at you? He will definitely be very happy. The words engraved by your lover are priceless!"

"Hey, by the way, Li Cheng's birthday seems to be in July, right? What are you going to give him?"

"July is still early, it's only March." Sun Ran raised an eyebrow, "What to give... we'll talk about it when the time comes."

There are still more than three months left. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Given my personality, I don't know if we will quarrel in three months, let alone preparing a gift for three months later?

"He will be 26 after his birthday this year, right?" Tang Lele touched his chin. "He is five years older than us. Do you two usually have a generation gap?"

Sun Ran shrugged, "I refuse to communicate if there is a generation gap, who cares."

"You can't do this. When two people are together, if one refuses to communicate, it's easy to have conflicts over time." Tang Lele poked Sun Ran's face, "Haven't you heard the saying? It's better to quarrel than to have a cold war."
