That night, when Song Wenran took Wen Wenqian to find Wen Wenyao in the corner of the hot pot restaurant, he couldn't help complaining: "Call me out to have hot pot with you tonight."

Wen Wenyao was ordering with the menu, and he said without looking up: "Today's Valentine's Day, restaurants with a better atmosphere and quieter environment are all queuing up, only the hot pot restaurant is the same as usual, and you can still get a reservation by calling. After finishing speaking, he handed the ordered menu to Song Wenran, "See what else you want."

When Song Wenran took it over, he said, "So you know that today is Valentine's Day?"

Wen Wenyao picked up the chopsticks and opened the outer package, looked at Song Wenran and said, "What happened to Valentine's Day? You still have a date?"

Song Wenran asked strangely, "Why can't I have a date?"

This afternoon, on the way he sent Bai Chong home, Bai Chong invited him to have dinner together, but he had already agreed to Wen Wenyao, so he rejected Bai Chong.

He told Bai Chong that he had already made an appointment, but Bai Chong didn't ask who he was dating.

Up to now, facing Wen Wenyao, he said, "If you hadn't asked me out first, I would probably have dinner with someone else."

Wen Wenyao's first reaction was to ask, "Male or female?"

Song Wenran didn't answer, but glanced at Wen Qian who was sitting beside her.

Wen Qian obviously didn't pay attention to what they were talking about, but tried her best to look at the menu in Song Wenran's hand and said, "I want luncheon meat."

Song Wenran ticked the back of the luncheon meat and said, "Okay, luncheon meat."

Wen Wenyao didn't continue to ask, he just said: "That's really embarrassing."

Song Wenran finished ordering and handed the menu to the waiter. He smiled at Wen Wenyao and said, "It's okay, brother is the most important thing."

Wen Wenyao couldn't help but also laughed.

Tonight, among the three brothers, only Wen Wenhao went on a date with his girlfriend.Wen Wenyao and Song Wenran took Wen Qian to sit in the corner of the hot pot restaurant, staring at the boiling red soup in the pot.

Both Wen Wenyao and Song Wenran have their own concerns, but Wen Qian is the only one who concentrates on waiting for the luncheon meat to be cooked.

Song Wenran helped Wen Qian put a piece of luncheon meat into the oil dish, and then asked Wen Wenyao, "Aren't you dating Dr. Jane?"

Wen Wenyao "Huh?" He raised his head and looked at him, "Who told you that I got back together with her?"

Song Wenran said: "I thought, didn't everyone think you were waiting for her?"

"I'm not waiting for her," Wen Wenyao lowered his gaze, and stretched out his chopsticks to eat the meat in the pot.

Song Wenran then asked: "Then why don't you fall in love and get married?"

"Fear of marriage, fear of giving affection, and too many injuries," Wen Wenyao said in a casual tone, "You can choose more."

Song Wenran put down his chopsticks and looked at him, "Brother, are you too influenced by Dad's emotional experience?"

"Don't you?" Wen Wenyao asked him.

Song Wenran nodded, "I have, but I am a little different from you, and I try my best to avoid those bad influences."

Wen Wenyao picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

Song Wenran continued: "Father's fundamental problem is not only being fickle, but also being irresponsible. There are not many people like him in this world. Ask yourself, do you want to be like him when you have a family in the future?"

Wen Wenyao did not answer.

Song Wenran looked at him, "Brother, do you have someone you like?"

Wen Wenyao sighed deeply, "It's not just that, there are other inappropriate things between me and him."

Song Wenran thought of Bai Chong, "Whether it's suitable or not, you can only know if you are together."

Wen Wenyao tapped the edge of the pot with his chopsticks, "Stop talking about that, and eat."

Although Wen Wenyao refused to continue talking, Song Wenran still felt that maybe Wen Wenyao really met a suitable person this time.

When the meal was almost finished, Song Wenran received a call from Bai Chong asking where he was.

Song Wenran glanced at Wen Wenyao who was sitting opposite, and replied in a low voice, "I'm having dinner with someone."

Bai Chong said, "Have you finished eating? I'll pick you up after eating."

Song Wenran was stunned, and asked, "Where are you? Let's make an appointment to meet."

After dinner, Song Wenran asked Wen Wenyao to take Wen Qian back first, and he went to find Bai Chong himself.

Bai Chong drove the car and parked on the side of the road not far from the hotpot restaurant. When Song Wenran opened the door to get in the car, Bai Chong asked him: "You don't want the person you're dating to see me?"

Song Wenran said, "Yes."

Bai Chong started the car, "Are you afraid that he will be angry if you leave suddenly?"

Song Wenran thought for a while and said, "My eldest brother should not be so stingy."

"Your elder brother?" Bai Chong glanced at him.

Song Wenran nodded with a smile, "My elder brother and my younger sister."

Bai Chong couldn't help but also laughed, "Are you wasting Valentine's Day like this?"

Song Wenran said: "If two people are together, why should we care which day is the holiday?"

Bai Chong nodded, "You are right."

Song Wenran asked Bai Chong: "Mr. Bai, you clearly know that I have an appointment tonight, so is it appropriate to interrupt my date?"

Bai Chong answered him while driving: "Of course I can't stop you from having dinner with someone, but I have the right to know what you are doing after dinner."

"You have the right to know?" Song Wenran was surprised that Bai Chong spoke so confidently.

Bai Chong said: "I expressed my heart to you, and you haven't rejected me yet. I think I still have the right to know before you formally reject me."

Song Wenran looked at him quietly for a while, and asked, "Then where are we going now?"

Bai Chong said: "Go wherever you want, I just want to stay with you."

Staying together with these four words is very tempting to Song Wenran.

To a certain extent, he and Wen Wenyao are both victims of the broken relationship between their parents. Wen Wenyao is afraid of avoiding feelings because of this, while he lacks feelings, whether it is love or family affection.

The hurdle between him and Bai Chong did not lie in Bai Ziqi or Bai Yangyu, but that he once doubted Bai Chong's emotional dedication.Whether it is to the woman who loved him in the past or to his child now, if he and Bai Chong want to continue walking, they cannot separate the past.

But this is not a hurdle that cannot be overcome.Bai Chong has a huge attraction for him, because of this hurdle, he temporarily delays the pace of sinking in.If one day Bai Chong can clear this hurdle, he may jump into Bai Chong's vortex without hesitation.

Bai Chong said that he just wanted to stay with Song Wenran, so he finally parked the car by a river, neither of them got out of the car, but just pressed down the car window to breathe the clean air at night.

Song Wenran didn't speak, in fact, it's good to stay quietly without speaking.

Bai Chong suddenly leaned over, opened the drawer in front of the passenger seat, and took out a rectangular box.

He handed the box to Song Wenran, "A gift for you."

Song Wenran didn't reach out to take it, he said, "I didn't buy you a gift."

Bai Chong smiled and said, "If you can happily accept this gift, I will be very happy."

Song Wenran hesitated for a moment, took the box and opened it, only to find a watch inside.

Compared with the one given to him by Chen Jie, it is obviously much more delicate and expensive.

Song Wenran frowned slightly, "I said I don't need a watch."

Bai Chong said: "You don't need it, so you always carry this one?" He said, grabbing Song Wenran's wrist.

Song Wenran said: "Others gave it to you, and it's a waste if you don't wear it."

Bai Chong nodded, "You're right, I bought all the presents, it's a waste if you don't want them. I don't know who gave that watch, I just don't want to see you wearing it."

Song Wenran felt absurd, "Mr. Bai, when did you become so childish?"

Bai Chong answered him calmly: "When I put my whole heart into my relationship."

Song Wenran was slightly stunned by this answer.

Bai Chong grabbed his hand, gently but irresistibly unfastened the watch that Chen Jie gave to Song Wenran, and put on the watch he bought for Song Wenran.

Song Wenran didn't resist, he just asked, "This watch must be expensive, right?"

Bai Chong didn't answer the question, he put the watch on Song Wenran carefully, then let go of his hand and said, "I hope you will like it."

When he went back that night, Song Wenran put the watch that Chen Jie gave him in the drawer.

He lay on the bed, staring at the new watch on his wrist for a moment.He realized that in his heart, Bai Chong and Chen Jie were very different. Chen Jie's gift was a burden to him, but Bai Chong's watch was worthless, and he only felt the other party's heart.

On Wednesday afternoon, Bai Chong attended the weekly regular meeting at the new campus on the outskirts of Chongyi City.The new campus is jointly built with Chongda, a comprehensive university, where first and second freshmen of Chongda Medical University will study and live together with Chongda students.

The new campus occupies a vast area and is located in a remote location. It takes about an hour to drive into the city.

After the meeting, Song Wenran drove Bai Chong back.

Bai Chong asked him: "Do you like the gift?"

Song Wenran glanced at the watch on his wrist, but did not answer.

But Bai Chong was very satisfied seeing that he was still wearing it obediently.

On the way back, Song Wenran habitually took a shortcut. He drove the car into a narrow alley where two cars could barely pass by. Both sides were surrounded by high walls outside the newly built community.

When the car drove into the alley, Bai Chong asked Song Wenran, "Are you free for dinner tonight?"

Song Wenran said, "I'm going to pick up Wenqian."

Bai Chong said to him, "You can take Wen Qian with you."

Song Wenran didn't answer him, because he suddenly found a van coming from the opposite alley.

At that time they had just driven the car into the middle of the alley.

It's not that Song Wenran didn't miss the car here, but the dilapidated van on the opposite side was obviously not in the right condition. It was very fast and occupied the middle of the road, so it could directly hit their car when it came over.

Song Wenran slowed down and honked the horn, but the car didn't intend to slow down. He immediately glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a van appearing in the alley behind him.

He said to Bai Chong: "Mr. Bai be careful." Then without explaining, he quickly put the reverse gear on and stepped on the accelerator, and drove the car backwards quickly.

At this moment, Bai Chong realized that something was wrong. He didn't ask Song Wenran why he reversed the car suddenly. He just watched the car back up and hit the van behind him.

The car behind turned and just started, the speed was not fast enough. After being hit by Song Wenran, it backed up for a short distance, but soon stabilized, and hit the wall with a dozen steering wheels at an angle, resisting the force of the car's back. .

Song Wenran locked the car door tightly. Seeing that Bai Chong had already taken out his mobile phone to call the police, he honked the horn vigorously, hoping to attract the attention of vehicles or pedestrians outside.

The car in front chased and stopped in front of them, completely blocking the front and back roads.Four or five men wearing hats, masks, and sunglasses that covered their faces tightly jumped out of the car, surrounded them with long knives and iron bars in their hands, and shouted, "Get out of the car!"

Song Wenran continued to honk the horn vigorously.

Someone knocked on the front windshield of the car with an iron rod. The bulletproof glass cracked instantly but did not shatter. Song Wenran subconsciously avoided it.

Next, another person started to smash the window of the rear seat with a stick. The person repeatedly hit a place with the stick, and the glass quickly shattered, and even small glass shards fell on the rear seat.

Bai Chong had already called the police. At this time, he tried his best to avoid to one side without saying a word, but soon someone went around to the opposite side and tried to knock on the glass here.

Song Wenran was startled, and he said to Bai Chong: "You must not get out of the car!"

Bai Chong shouted sharply: "Don't go!"

Song Wenran had already opened the car door, and at the same time kicked the stomach of the person in front of him who wanted to open the door. After kicking the person away, he quickly got out of the car and closed the door.

Bai Chong tried to hold him back, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful.

The car keys were in Song Wenran's trousers pocket. He locked the door as soon as he got out of the car, then grabbed the person knocking on the rear glass and pushed him away.

Two people came towards Song Wenran, and the other three continued to smash the glass.

Song Wenran ducked to avoid the stick hitting his head, and at the same time raised his foot to trip the man, then grabbed the other man's wrist sideways, and twisted his knife with his backhand.

The two of them didn't expect Song Wenran to be so agile, and the long knife was robbed, so they panicked and took two steps back.

At this time, the third person hit Song Wenran backhandedly with a stick.This person is obviously better than the previous two, with great strength and skilled fighting moves.

Song Wenran had no intention of fighting with him, but saw that a person had almost smashed the rear car window, and was about to reach in to pull the car door lock, so he quickly avoided the person, and slashed at the person behind with a long knife.

The man had his arm chopped off, and he backed up again and again with a scream, and the stick fell to the ground.

Bai Chong was in the car and couldn't help shouting: "Be careful!"

The man behind him swung his stick around Song Wenran, strangled his neck and pulled him back.

Song Wenran was pulled back, grabbed the iron rod in front of his neck with one hand, stepped on the car door with the other to use his strength to flip backwards, and twisted his legs around his neck to exert force, and the two of them fell to the ground at the same time.

Song Wenran pressed one hand on the broken glass on the ground, the knife in his right hand fell off, and the man's sunglasses fell to the ground.

The two turned over and jumped up to grab the knife at the same time. Song Wenran saw the eyes of the person in front of him and blurted out: "Chen Jie!"

He was too familiar with Chen Jie's eyes.For a long time, Midnight dreamed back to Chen Jie's face.

When the name was blurted out, Song Wenran saw that the person in front of him stiffened obviously.

He snatched back the knife, and when he stood up, he heard Bai Chong shout: "Wen Ran!" Immediately afterwards, his back felt cold, and someone chopped it off with a knife in the back. Seeing a strong figure trying to open the car door, he shouted loudly: "Xu Chu! You are willing to die for money, right?"

As expected, the man froze, and failed to open the car door in panic.

Song Wenran heard someone say: "Kill him!" Then the person who had beheaded him just now made up for it again.

"Stop!" Bai Chong shouted, subconsciously reaching out to open the door.

At the same time, Chen Jie blocked the man's knife with a stick, and said in a deep voice, "How dare you!"

At this time, everyone heard the sound of horns coming from outside the alley, and besides the sound of police sirens.

Song Wenran suddenly raised the knife and stabbed it into the rear tire of the van in front.

Of their two vans, the rear one got stuck on the wall, and the front one had a punctured tire. Now even if they caught Bai Chong, they couldn't evacuate the scene quickly.

In anger, Chen Jie raised his stick towards Song Wenran's head, but he still failed to hit it.

Xu Chu, who was identified, was the first to drop his stick and run away. After seeing him run away, the others also dropped their weapons and ran away one after another.Chen Jie was the last one. He gave Song Wenran a hard look, then turned around and ran towards the opposite alley.

Only then did Song Wenran feel the burning pain in his back, and he threw himself forward without strength, gasping for breath.

Gently supporting his chin with one hand, Song Wenran heard Bai Chong's trembling voice, "Wenran?"

Song Wenran said: "I'm fine." He supported the ground with one hand, and suddenly felt a pain, only to realize that the palm of his hand was hurt by the glass just now, so he had to grab Bai Chong with the other hand, turned over and sat on the floor. On the ground, he raised his head and saw a wound on Bai Chong's face, he frowned and said, "You are injured."

Bai Chong reached out to pick him up and said, "I'll take you to the hospital."
