Tender trapping

That night Zhuo Wenlang left the villa after dinner,

Standing by the upstairs window, Ran Xu watched the black car gradually go away through the glass. The taillights disappeared into the night and merged with the lights of thousands of houses in the distant city.

He admitted that the feeling of loss and loneliness at that moment was like a tide, surging up in an instant, almost swallowing him.

At midnight, Ran Xu was lying on the bed and couldn't fall asleep no matter what. He could still smell the faint sandalwood fragrance left by Zhuo Wenlang on the tip of his nose. When he closed his eyes, the smile of that man was still in his mind... Thinking of Zhuo Wenlang's many thoughtful things, but it was precisely because the other party had never advanced and retreated slowly that Ran Xu couldn't find any point to hold grudges and discredit him.

Zhuo Wenlang, this name has deeply entered into his life.

Ran Xu wrapped the quilt tightly and rolled his whole body into a ball - he felt a little cold, and his teeth were chattering uncontrollably.

The tree shadows outside the window seemed to laugh at him, swinging in the strong wind in the second half of the night, baring their teeth and waving their claws, proclaiming that the long night is long and the dawn is far from coming.

Ran Xu hit the bed with his fist as if venting, and paced around the room, but he didn't know how to relieve this anxiety.

The maid who was on guard at night noticed the abnormal noise, and she asked Ran Xu softly outside the door if she needed anything.

At this time, it was already 02:30 in the morning, Ran Xu calmed down, lay back on the bed in order not to cause trouble to others, and forced himself to close his eyes to sleep, until it was just dawn outside, he was finally in a daze fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he was a little dizzy, perhaps because he hadn't had a good rest, so Ran Xu pressed his temples and went downstairs to eat.

His luggage was already packed, and he was ready to go. This was the last morning he spent in Chenshan Villa, Zhuo Wenlang's home.

In Ran Xu's plan, maybe Zhuo Wenlang can stay at home today, see him off, and walk to the gate of the courtyard, they can say goodbye, say goodbye, and then maybe... maybe there will be a coveted one. hug.

Ran Xu really didn't understand what he was contradicting, he was the one who proposed the separation, but in the end Zhuo Wenlang didn't stay in the villa, but he felt reluctant.

He smeared jam on a piece of toast twice, almost seeping through and dripping onto his hands. The maid next to him reminded him in a low voice, and Ran Xu came back to his senses and said thank you.

The maid of Zhuo Wenlang's family is a very easy-going woman. She is a few years older than Ran Xu by visual estimation, but she has not yet reached the age of elders. After getting along these few days, the two of them have exchanged a few words. The servant has a good impression of Ran Xu, after all he doesn't seem like a troublesome young master.

Ran Xu has an indescribable beauty. She is not good at culture, so she can only describe this boy as clean, neither overbearing nor humble.

From the conversation between Zhuo Wenlang and Ran Xu in the past two days, she has more or less heard some clues. At this time, seeing Ran Xu's lost soul, she couldn't help but comfort her: "Mr. Zhuo may just not want to talk to you. Goodbye," she said, rubbing her hands on the hem of her trousers.

Ran Xu bit his toast, looked up at her, but didn't respond.

He didn't know how to respond. To this day, Zhuo Wenlang's various thoughts, he still can't say for certain - that person seems to have built a wall around himself, isolating all those who want to peek into his heart.

The maid thought he didn't believe it, and added: "When my man divorced me, I didn't send him off... Oh, what is divorce, I'm stupid, don't take it to heart. Anyway, 20 years old In his early years, he is still young, what will happen in the future..."

Halfway through her comforting words, she heard the doorbell ring.

It was Lee, who said he was coming home to help Zhuo Wenlang get the documents.

"Where are the others?" Ran Xu used this tone for the first time. He followed Lee and stood at the door of Zhuo Wenlang's study.

"He's in the company." Lee held the good things in his hands, and his eyes fell on Ran Xu through his glasses, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking, but he suddenly sighed and said with emotion, "Ran Xu Xu, you were the first one I mistook, but I didn't expect you to break up with Zhuo Wenlang in the end."

"...Yeah." Ran Xu nodded hesitantly, "Actually, I'm a bit reluctant to part with him."

Lee is the only one in this room who can hear him complain. Ran Xu couldn't help but tell him what's on his mind: "Although my reason tells me to stay away, I still like him very much."

"Love is like this." Lee finished the sentence in cadence, like reciting a poem, and then blinked at Ran Xu, "From the standpoint of Zhuo Wenlang's friend, I don't suggest you give him a second chance." second chance, but from his doctor's perspective, I would suggest that you give him a second chance."

"why?"

"Because he really loves you."

This was the last sentence left by Lee, and then he turned around and walked away without mentioning these troublesome emotional trivia.

After all, looking at a person's life, the failed relationship can only be regarded as a small period, and there will be many other things to fill the life.

After listening to Ran Xu's explanation, Lin Yingying gave the answer: Sometimes a person's life is like a herbaceous plant, which changes year by year. You should only temporarily bloom and bear fruit to complete your mission, and leave a seed to wait. next spring.

"My dad told me this." Lin Yingying cleared her throat uncomfortably, and finally hugged Ran Xu slowly, "Come on, elementary school boy, when you become a famous designer in the future, the little girl who chases you Girls can go from the front of the classroom to the back of the classroom."

Ran Xu was noncommittal about this.

But life is still going on the same, and there is one thing that surprised Ran Xu, that is, Zhuo Wenlang didn't really stop promoting Ran Xu's designs as he said on the plane.

On the contrary, the publicity of Anno 3080 is still overwhelming, and Ran Xu's works are still hanging on it. Not long after, other students in the school were also surprised to find that the blind box of this series was actually made by Ran Xu.

Some people praised his work, and some were proud that he was a student of this school. Of course, there were also people talking behind his back, most of which were rumors about Ran Xu hugging his thigh—even though it had been several months since what Sun Cheng did, Those rumors are still occasionally brought up.

But this time Ran Xu didn't care too much, he had too many things to be busy with, or in other words, he had to be busy to make himself forget about those people and things.

He is working on his latest design work, which is an olive branch thrown to him by Xu Ziang - Xu Ziang himself has gradually recovered in Australia, and said that since he did not die, maybe he should give up this idea and live the rest of his life.

Ran Xu didn't mention Zhuo Wenlang to him again. The two exchanged some design matters in text messages. He sent some of the latest sketches to Xu Ziang to see, and the reply was a series of exclamation points and compliments.

"You are a person who is born to eat this food, you are improving too fast!!"

Xu Ziang said in the text message: "When I return to China, I want to hold a new art exhibition. I wonder if you are interested in doing it together. From concept to implementation, you are welcome to participate in the whole process."

Ran Xu blushed when he praised him, and naturally he would not miss such an opportunity, so he agreed immediately.

However, before Ran Xu waited for Xu Ziang to return home, he suddenly received a call from Lee: "No, something happened!"
