Burn

Chapter 6

The two entered the subway together. The subway at 06:30 is the peak time of people flow.Li Dongyao protected Xu Ran into the carriage, and stood in the corner with his half-embrace.Xu Ran leaned his whole back in his arms, feeling very uncomfortable.I want to turn my body, but there are people on the left and right.

Someone squeezed over and accidentally bumped into the two of them.Li Dongyao pointed to Xu Ran's wound and reminded: "I'm sorry, he was injured, be careful."

Their strange combination quickly attracted the attention of other people in the carriage. Xu Ran heard the young girl next to him whisper to another young girl next to him: "Guess what is the relationship between the two of them?"

The girl didn't know what to answer, and the two laughed in a low voice.

Xu Ran buried his head in his chest, leaned forward as much as he could, and kept a distance from Li Dongyao.Li Dongyao behind him tightened his arms to hold him tighter.

Sure enough, Li Dongyao did not come back to attend the [-]:[-] p.m. meeting with the audit. Xiao Huan was extremely depressed throughout the meeting. Everyone in the audit team was cautious, for fear of stepping on thunder.

Li Dongyao didn't come back until after get off work, and sent him a lot of photos on WeChat.

The appearance of Xu Ran crossing the road, the appearance of Xu Ran going down the stairs, the appearance of Xu Ran standing in the crowd waiting for the subway, the appearance of Xu Ran being held in his arms in the subway...

Xiao Huan didn't understand what this boring psycho was going to do!

After four subway stops, arrive at the destination.The more people get off, the more people get on.Li Dongyao took Xu Ran's hand and squeezed out from the crowd.

After getting out of the carriage, Xu Ran quickly shook off Li Dongyao's hand and followed the flow of people up the escalator, with Li Dongyao following closely behind.

After leaving the subway station, Xu Ran walked towards the parking lot, but Li Dongyao actually followed.

"You, what are you doing?" Xu Ran stopped and asked him.

"I want you to treat me to dinner, I'm helping you so much today." Li Dongyao pointed to the bandaged elbow.

"It's not what I want to go." Xu Ran protested softly, but it is undeniable that fortunately Li Dongyao took him to the hospital. He is anemic and has a scar constitution. The doctor said that if he doesn't go to the hospital again, the wound is very likely to be infected and aggravate the injury. I'm afraid there will be big trouble at that time.

"I don't care, either you treat me to dinner, or I treat you to dinner!" Li Dongyao smiled, as if he would not give up until he reached his goal today.

Xu Ran had no choice but to go forward and get the car first.When he arrived at the parking place, he didn't see his electric car in the place where he parked in the afternoon, and looked around again, but there was still no one.

Li Dongyao stood outside, watched him turn around a few times, and asked, "Can't find the car?"

Xu Ran was already in a hurry, he searched a few times and still couldn't find it.The two women who picked up the car later did not find their electric car.

"Did it get stolen!" the two women exclaimed.

Xu Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he heard the old man who came to pick up the bicycle say: "Recently, there are a lot of thieves here, who specialize in stealing electric bicycles, and several of them have been stolen!"

The two women had already started calling the police. Xu Ran stood aside, completely numb. He had never heard of any of his colleagues whose electric car had been stolen and recovered.This car is a new one that he just bought for [-] yuan. The second-hand car he bought before often ran out of battery halfway.

Li Dongyao felt a little guilty looking at Xu Ran's silent expression. If he hadn't taken him to the hospital today, the car would not have been stolen.

Before Xiao Huan's car drove out of the company's underground garage, he received another WeChat message from Li Dongyao. Xu Ran was still standing next to the two women with a dazed look on his face.

"His car was stolen, it was my fault." Li Dongyao said in WeChat, rarely depressed: "He looked very sad, I said to compensate him, but he didn't want it. I said to send him home, but he didn't want it either."

"You classmate, you are really stubborn!" Li Dongyao concluded with emotion.

"Where are you?"

Li Dongyao finally received Xiao Huan's response, looked at Xu Ran who was not far away talking to the two women whose car had been stolen, and twitched his lips triumphantly.

Xiao Huan arrived soon, the car stopped on the side of the road, and no one got out of the car.

"What are you doing?" He lowered the window and shouted at Li Dongyao.

Hearing his voice, Xu Ran looked back, and his whole body tensed up instantly. He began to blame himself, why did he get involved with Xiao Huan's colleagues.

Li Dongyao ran over and pulled him out of the car: "Your classmate is too stubborn. I have a big reason for the car being stolen today. I shouldn't take him to the hospital on my own. If he doesn't go to the hospital, the car will be fine." Stolen. Well, it's all my fault."

"Xu Ran, I was really wrong today. I should compensate you for this car." Li Dongyao pulled Xiao Huan in front of Xu Ran, and began to say that he would pay for his car.

"Xiao Huan, hurry up and persuade your old classmate, he is so stubborn!"

"I, I don't want it." Xu Ran lowered his head, not daring to look at Xiao Huan.

"He said no." Xiao Huan looked at Li Dongyao coldly.

"Hey——" Li Dongyao looked at the two and didn't know what to say.

"Let's go if he doesn't want it!" Xiao Huan turned and left.

Li Dongyao caught up and stopped him: "Why are you like this!"

Xiao Huan looked at him and sneered: "Then how can you end this scene?"

"Then why did you come?" Li Dongyao turned to his face and asked.

Xiao Huan's mouth twitched.

Li Dongyao hooked the corner of his mouth: "Look, what should we do about today's matter? Xu Ran's car is gone. Changing a car is definitely not a small amount for him. He seems to be short of money. Today's matter is indeed a big deal." I didn't do well."

He deliberately lowered his voice and said this to Xiao Huan.

Xu Ran looked at Xiao Huan, whose face turned sour after having an argument with Li Dongyao, and was already thinking about how to escape from this place.

"He wants to compensate you, so you take it." Xiao Huan said to him.

"Yeah, it was originally my fault." Li Dongyao agreed.

Xu Ran didn't understand why Xiao Huan changed his words, but he still shook his head firmly: "No, thank you." He was indeed sad when his car was stolen, but this kind of thing often happened between his colleagues, he was not unprepared, he I don't think it's Li Dongyao's fault.It's just that the car was newly bought, which he felt was a pity.

"I'll go first, thank you." Xu Ran walked towards the subway entrance on one side.

Li Dongyao stopped him again: "Xiao Huan said to send you home!"

How could Xu Ran believe it!At this moment, he suddenly understood the purpose of Li Dongyao approaching him. He must have known something and wanted to see Xiao Huan and his jokes.

"Xiao Huan, didn't you say to send him home?" Li Dongyao asked Xiao Huan deliberately.

Xiao Huan looked at Xu Ran who was held by him with a face full of resistance and reluctance, and said, "Well, let's go!"

Xu Ran looked back at him in surprise, thinking that he might have heard wrong.

Li Dongyao dragged him away: "I told you to take you home, let's go!"

Xu Ran was pushed into the co-pilot by Li Dongyao, and he did not forget to tell the driver Xiao Huan: "Send him home properly!"

After finishing speaking, he closed the car door and waved to the two people in the car: "Goodbye!"

Without saying a word, Xiao Huan stepped on the accelerator and started on the road.

When the car was far away, Li Dongyao whistled in satisfaction, and reached out to stop a taxi: "Go home!" While in the car, he did not forget to continue sending Xiao Huan a WeChat message: "I can only help you here!" By the way, " It’s all about flicking the clothes to hide the connotation of merit and fame”.

After the car had gone for a while, Xiao Huan asked Xu Ran, "Where do you live?"

Xu Ran reported the address, which is a well-known fringe community where migrants gather in the city. It is dirty and messy, and it is a place where criminal cases frequently occur in the news.

"Rent?"

"Ah."

Xiao Huan watched Xu Ran next to him from the corner of his eye, lowered his head, turned his body sideways to the car door, clasped his hands on his knees.He is nervous.

"What are you going to do?" He asked Xu Ran.

"Huh?" Xu Ran didn't expect him to talk to him, and he didn't realize what he asked.

"Car." Xiao Huan reminded.

"Buy another one." Xu Ran paused for half a second: "I really don't need your colleague to pay for it. It's very common for our car to be stolen. Everyone is mentally prepared. In fact, it is rarely stolen. My car is a new one. Yes, it is easier to attract thieves."

"Are you going to continue like this forever?" After asking, Xiao Huan realized why he asked such a question.

Xu Ran took a moment to understand what he was asking.

"That's all we can do now." He hasn't thought about it in the future.

"Do you owe a lot of money?" Xiao Huan asked after thinking about it.

Xu Ran really showed a shocked and puzzled expression. Not many people knew that he owed a lot of money.Those debts were deliberately transferred to him and his mother by his cruel father back then. Fortunately, he didn't take away the house and car, mortgaged some, and left some.He has paid off most of them one after another over the years, and still owes the bank more than 7 yuan. Xu Ran calculated that he will pay it off in a year.

"It's almost over."

He looked quite relaxed, how could this genetic "stupidity" change?Xiao Huan thought.

"Where's your dad?" he continued.

Xu Ran didn't expect Xiao Huan to know so much.

"Your mother used to go to my dad's store, and my dad knew her. Everything about your family was published in the newspaper, and they all knew about it." Xiao Huan explained a few more words by the way, he didn't want to be misunderstood by him, as if he had deliberately investigated He does.

Of course Xu Ran didn't think so, he was just shocked by Xiao Huan knowing about his family.

"I don't know." After his father abandoned his mother and child, he lost contact.

"Do you hate him?"

"It used to be, but now I don't feel anything." Xu Ran was telling the truth, especially during the time he was lying in the hospital, he was thinking every day, how to find him, how to die with him.I hated him back then!But as time passed, the hardships and hopes of reality gradually replaced those hatreds.

"I'm doing just fine without him."

Xiao Huan suddenly wanted to curse.

An hour later, the car arrived at the side of the community where Xu Ran lived, and he asked Xiao Huan to stop: "I'll just get off here!"

Xiao Huan looked at the entrance of the community without any gates or security settings, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car into the community.

"Left or right?" Xiao Huan asked after the car entered.

"Right, no, left." Xu Ran gestured with his hand.

"Find it out!"

"left."

Xiao Huan turned left and went in, and after turning left again, he arrived at Unit 3 where Xu Ran lived. Only one street light would be on along the way.He got out of the car, and Xiao Huan got out of the car after him.

"How many floors?"

"3th floor."

Xiao Huan took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight and walked into the corridor.Xu Ran silently followed.All the way to the door on the right side of the third floor, Xu Ran took out the key to open the door, and Xiao Huan held the phone beside him to illuminate him.

The door opened, Xu Ran went in, and Xiao Huan followed.

A very old one-bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The partition between the bedroom and the living room is a row of glass doors, the layout and furnishings of the former factory dormitory.There are not many things, and the cleaning is simple and clean.In the living room by the window, there are three pots of plants, one of which grows tall and lush.

Xu Ran looked at Xiao Huan, hesitating whether to ask him to sit for a while before leaving.

Xiao Huan walked to the sofa by himself and sat down. The sofa was a bit broken, and it sank deeply when he sat on it, and there was a creaking sound.

"I'm thirsty." He looked at Xu Ran.

Xu Ran quickly took a glass of water from the water dispenser and handed it to him.He watched him drink it in one gulp.

"I'm leaving." Xiao Huan put down his cup and got up.

"Oh, okay, I'll see you off." Xu Ran got up after him.

"No need." Xiao Huan walked to the door and stopped him who was about to follow.

Xiao Huan turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone again and went downstairs alone.Xu Ran stood at the door and closed the door until he heard the sound of the car starting. He sat slumped at the door as if in a dream.

When Xiao Huan got home, he saw Li Dongyao's WeChat message "I can only help you here" and his mean expression.He knew that everything today was a trap set by the self-righteous director Li Dongyao, but he couldn't hold back and finally jumped into it.
