Heart distance

The thin young man next to Ling Ran was wearing a solid-color high-end suit, following the direction of Lu Tinglan's pupils, following the speed of light into his eyes, engraved on the softest area of ​​his heart.

The boy's eyes were avoiding, he didn't dare to look at him at all, his expression was full of guilt and pretending not to care.

Ling Ran naturally took the boy's arm and smiled at him.

The two slowly approached him, and before they could talk, they were stopped by people who were watching the theater halfway.

A middle-aged woman came with a long-haired woman.

A middle-aged woman dressed in a gray-brown cheongsam stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "President Ling, who is this on your side?"

"It's me and Tinglan's younger brother." Ling Ran's official smile was impeccably perfect.

"Oh." Such an answer was obviously not what they expected, and the middle-aged woman was a little disappointed, "I thought..."

"What do you think?" Ling Ran took the champagne from the waiter, "Do you think it's my new love?"

Ling Ran cut straight to the point, causing the other party with ulterior motives to have lingering fears, "No, no, Mr. Ling, you really know how to joke. How can you be such a dubious woman."

"Of course I am not. After all, we Tinglan is so good, how many women can't ask for it." Ling Ran said to the woman next to the middle-aged woman: "Right, Miss Xiaoke, after I heard that Tinglan and I were engaged, you still tried to use the Stunning my fiancé with hallucinogens, conspiring to cook raw rice."

"You!" The woman who had seen through the conspiracy panicked and dared not speak out.

"Mr. Ling, please be careful with your words. The little girl is still in her boudoir, so I hope you will show mercy." The middle-aged woman put her arms around Xiao Ke.

Ling Ran snorted softly, "Don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Wouldn't it be better to think about the consequences before doing things in the future?"

"Let's go!" The mother and daughter couldn't talk to Ling Ran, so they had to flee in desperation.

In a seemingly harmonious business gathering, everyone is hiding an ulterior conspiracy.

The depressive feeling in the boy's heart flowed back to the heart along the veins.

The reality is more painful than he imagined.

"Oh, Mr. Ling, Mr. Lu." A middle-aged woman with a wheat complexion came over and interrupted their supposed conversation again.

The woman looked at Han Ziqi, "I just heard that this is your younger brother?"

"Yes."

"Your brother is really a good-looking talent." The woman couldn't hide her appreciation in her eyes, "It doesn't look very big, is it in college?"

Ling Ran motioned for Han Ziqi to answer by himself.

"Yes, freshman year."

"Which school are you in? What major do you study?" The woman looked like a household checker.

Han Ziqi thought he didn't bother to answer, but because of the environment he was in, he had no choice but to patiently say: "Xiang University, physics."

"Oh, you see, what a coincidence, our daughter is also a freshman, and she is in the school next door to yours." The woman flattered, "Her ideal school was Hunan University, but she had a fever on the day of the exam, so it was just a few points away, hey."

"Look at this child, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. It just so happens that my daughter is also single." The woman looked at Ling Ran, "Mr. Ling, why don't we adults make friends for the children?"

Ling Ran focused on Lu Tinglan, "You still have to ask my family Tinglan about this matter, I have never been in control of children's feelings."

The woman was obviously timid towards Lu Tinglan, but she mustered up her courage in order to build up a relationship, "Mr. Lu, what do you think? Even if the children get to know each other first, it would be nice to have someone to take care of them."

"Sorry, my child is young and currently focuses on studies."

Ling Ran rolled his eyes and didn't interrupt.

"Hey, that's fine." The woman sensed the embarrassment, "Then I won't bother you."

The obstacles dissipated, and finally the peace of the three of them was restored.

The young man lowered his eyes, guilty but pretending to be calm.

Lu Tinglan only treated it as air, and said to Ling Ran, "Come with me."

Then, Lu Tinglan turned his gaze to Han Ziqi and ordered, "You stay here and don't go anywhere."

Lu Tinglan and Ling Ran came to the open-air platform of the living room.

The former tugged on his tie, and the composure he had just now had long since disappeared, "Ling Ran, are you crazy?"

"What's wrong with me?" Ling Ran didn't take it seriously, and asked knowingly.

"Why did you bring him here? Do you know how dangerous it is?" Lu Tinglan said angrily.

"He's not young anymore, he's going to get in touch with the society sooner or later, what's wrong with seeing the market early?" Ling Ran hugged his shoulders, "Besides, the danger is with you, not me, so please stay away from him."

Ling Ran watched the show, "However, how does he dress up today? Vivian's craftsmanship is still so fascinating."

"It's not that good." Lu Tinglan frowned.

"Really?" Ling Ran clicked his tongue, "Then your aesthetics are really bad."

"So, have you finished what you need to say?" Ling Ran looked into the hall, "Now your little sheep is among a group of hungry wolves. I guarantee that at least half of the people present are staring at him."

Lu Tinglan couldn't hide his irritability, and left the platform first, "Take him back immediately."

"It depends on my mood."

When the two returned, Han Ziqi was holding a wine glass and was about to sip it.

Ling Ran quickly snatched it away, "This degree is too high."

With that said, Ling Ran picked up another cup and handed it to him, "Drink this, it's low in strength."

Just as the wine glass passed Han Ziqi's hand, it was snatched by Lu Tinglan again, "You can't drink this either."

The man offered him a glass of lemon juice, "Drink this."

Han Ziqi didn't answer.

Ever since arriving here, Han Ziqi's tense nerves have not been relaxed for a moment. Feeling the anger on Lu Tinglan, he fled in a hurry, "I'm going to the bathroom."

Han Ziqi turned around and walked away from Lu Tinglan.

He stood in front of the half-length mirror in the bathroom, looking at the strange self in front of him, feeling panicked in his heart.

Today Lu Tinglan hardly looked at him directly, as expected, he didn't like this kind of attire.

Han Ziqi couldn't find an exact adjective to express his current self, maybe it was the charm in Linda's eyes, or romantic, but no matter what it was, it was not what he should be like in normal times.

Han Ziqi let out a long breath, wiped his hands, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and walked out of the bathroom.

In order to waste time, he went to the bathroom farthest from the reception hall.

It was very quiet around, no one was there.

After he came out of the bathroom, he passed the utility room next door, and the door suddenly opened.

Before Han Ziqi could react, he was pulled into the door by an external force.

The unlit utility room was pitch black.

Before Han Ziqi understood the situation, his lips were blocked by the scorching heat, and the tip of his tongue quickly penetrated into his mouth, with the force of grabbing.

The man pressed him hard against the wall, and his rapid breathing filled Han Ziqi's surroundings.

When he stopped desperately resisting, the man's arms gradually moved down, encircling his waist.

The relaxed arm refused to let go of his lips, until Han Ziqi gasped for mercy, the man was willing to leave him a little bit.

Arms hugged him tightly again.

The cramped utility room was pitch black, and the young man couldn't see Lu Tinglan's face clearly, he could only feel the man's rapid breathing coming slowly from his sensitive jaw.

"Why did you come here?" Lu Tinglan's wet and hot lips slid back and forth against his chin, "still dressed like this."

"It has nothing to do with you." Han Ziqi was angry, and took advantage of the gap when the man's arm was loose, and pushed him away.

But the slender boy is no match for him.

Just a second after the words were spoken, the man held him even more forcefully, kissed his chin and neck tightly, and refused to let go for a long time.Follow the contour to the upper lip, pulling him away again.

It wasn't until the boy was tortured to the point of begging for mercy that Lu Tinglan finally relented.

Lu Tinglan pinched his chin, and moved his gaze to the neck, "Who tied the tie for you."

Being bullied again and again by the other party, the young man got angry and turned his chin, taking his words as air.

Lu Tinglan pinched him again, "Han Ziqi, don't make me angry."

The boy subdued, avoiding his fiery eyes, "Myself."

"Didn't lie to me?"

"No."

Lu Tinglan was silent for a moment, and his breath eased a little, "Go back immediately, don't stay here anymore."

Afterwards, Lu Tinglan opened the door of the utility room, and the outdoor lights came in.

Han Ziqi stopped talking back, lowered his eyes and pushed away Lu Tinglan's arm, and left in front of him.

Lu Tinglan held him down again, and took off the gold-rimmed glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose.

"What are you doing?" Han Ziqi didn't know whether he should return this thing or not.

"It's not suitable for you to wear one."

It didn't feel good to be called ugly in disguise, Han Ziqi left the utility room disgusted.

Sure enough, he didn't like it.

As soon as he walked to the lobby, he saw Ling Ran who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Ling Ran's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Did you meet Lu Tinglan just now?"

Han Ziqi didn't know how the other party knew about it, so he didn't ask, and just ordered "um".

"Okay." Ling Ran sighed, "I wanted to take you to have a good time, but someone stamped it in advance. Forget it, let's leave it like this today."

"Come on, I'll take you home."

Han Ziqi was sitting in Ling Ran's car, clutching his seat belt, hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Ling Ran noticed the boy's hesitation.

"Has he really been drugged before?"

Ling Ran laughed while holding the steering wheel, "So that's where your kid's focus is."

"Don't worry, that man is stronger than you thought, he only loses his wits in front of you, like an idiot."

"That little trick can't harm him at all, at least in this matter, he is still clean." Ling Ran had something to say, "But I don't know if you two have done anything secretly."

Han Ziqi's ears were burning red, he lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose, "He's just as shrewd in front of me."

"So, do you want to continue playing with him?" Ling Ran asked.

Han Ziqi knew very well that he was not what he should be now, and he did not know when he became unreasonable and lost his mind.He knew it shouldn't be like this, but he was unwilling to do so. He was tortured by the double oppression and was in pain.

"Sister Ran, should I listen to him?" Han Ziqi looked like a child who was self-criticizing.

"Listen to him?" Ling Ran sneered, "He doesn't even understand himself. He pretends to be strong in front of everyone, but he is clearly trying to avoid it."

Han Ziqi's heart ached, and he dug his fingertips into his palm, "What has he been through?"

Ling Ran sighed, "Don't ask me, I also heard it from hearsay, but it must not be a good feeling."

"What would you do if you were me?"

"Me?" Passing the red light, Ling Ran stepped on the brakes and turned to look at him, "Of course I want to continue to torture him. Doesn't he want peace? I want the world to be in chaos!"

Han Ziqi remained silent and did not continue.

Ling Ran drove the car to the destination, "I'll take you to play golf next weekend, and I'll introduce you to an interesting person."

"Hmm." Although Han Ziqi was not interested in other people, he still responded politely.

"That's right." Ling Ran stopped him, "Send him a text message before going to bed, otherwise he will suffer from insomnia."

"Ah."

After Han Ziqi left, Ling Ran called Linda, "Give me a price for Vivian's suit and all the accessories on that kid."

"Sister Ling, look at what you said. You also know that suit is my favorite, and it's not for sale."

"Linda, you know my character, three times, if you don't sell, I can only come hard."

Linda on the other end of the phone sighed, "Sister Ling, let's be honest, someone paid for it half an hour ago. So, please send someone to deliver the clothes to you within two days. Come back, the employer over there is in a hurry to ask for it."

Ling Ran subconsciously asked, "Who is it?"

"Of course we can't disclose this, but let me tell you quietly, this employer is much more generous than you, he paid ten times the price."

"okay, I get it."

Ling Ran hung up the phone and said to himself, "Idiot, you still say you don't like it. You clearly want to hide it at home so that only you can see it."

"Perverted possessiveness."

When Han Ziqi returned home, he remembered Ling Ran's last words.

He touched his swollen lips bitten by Lu Tinglan with his fingers.

As if I can't sleep.

He turned on the ceiling light in the bathroom, glanced at himself in the mirror from the corner of his eye, focused his eyes on his chin, and gasped.

Only then did he understand the meaning of Ling Ran's "seal".

In the mirror, from his left jaw to his neck, there are mottled hickey marks, and under the white light, it is bright red and dazzling.

With such an obvious sign of possessiveness on his body, no matter who it is, it is impossible for anyone to get closer.

Some people declare their sovereignty to the whole world in the strongest and most domineering way.

Obviously alienating himself, but not allowing him to contact other people.

abnormal.

After taking a shower, Han Ziqi passed by Lu Tinglan's room, and pushed the door open by a strange coincidence.

The house still maintains the appearance when he was leaving, as if the peaceful and happy days are still going on, and he seems to have never left.

Han Ziqi shifted his gaze to the table, where there was a row of presents, all prepared for him by Han Ziqi after they parted.

Every Christmas, Valentine's Day, his birthday, every memorable festival, Han Ziqi did not miss any of them.

The young man's eyes finally fixed on the music box. Two years later, the gift that had been painstakingly and painstakingly prepared was still not delivered, and even the packaging remained the same.

He even doubted whether there was a chance to send it out.

Han Ziqi took out his phone and pressed a message.

Han Ziqi: Don't use this method next time, it's too much.

Lu Tinglan: Well, good night.

The news came almost instantly, and the people on the opposite side seemed to have been waiting for him.

Han Ziqi took back his phone, went back to the bathroom again, and looked at the traces of publicity exposed in the air.

terribly upset.

There is still class tomorrow.

He took out his phone again.

Han Ziqi: Sister Ran, how can I cover up such obvious marks.

Ling Ran: What kind of marks, hickeys?Hahaha, you finally saw it?To be honest, Lu Tinglan was too cruel.With that level of strength, it will definitely not go down for a week.

Han Ziqi became more and more upset.

Han Ziqi: Sister Ran, can you stop mocking me?I want to solve the problem now.

Ling Ran: I have my own way.When I send Xiaoduo to school tomorrow, I will drop by your house to pick you up.

The next day, Han Ziqi sat in the back of the car wrapped in a scarf.

Ling Ran was already waiting for him at the side, holding a square box in his hand.

Seeing him coming, Ling Ran turned on the dome light in the rear of the car, tapped something like a sponge back and forth on his chin, and complained while patting, "That bastard Lu Tinglan is so despicable. Have you ever opened your mouth, it got worse after a night."

When Han Ziqi woke up, he saw the tragic scene in the mirror, blushing so hard that his heart beat uncontrollably.

Han Ziqi couldn't help asking: "Can this thing really work?"

"Don't worry, it can cover [-]% of the coverage. It's not easy to sweat in the cold weather. It's no problem to persist for a day."

Han Ziqi was even more annoyed, "What about tomorrow?"

After Ling Ran finished, he dusted it with a layer of powder and handed him the two boxes together, "I'll do it myself in the next few days."

Han Ziqi had a headache, "You want me to cover up this thing like a girl every day?"

"Then what else?" Ling Ran hugged his shoulders, "Could it be that you still let me, who has signed deals worth several hundred million yuan, touch up your makeup every day? Kid, are you crazy or am I crazy?"

Knowing that he was wrong, Han Ziqi silently accepted the cosmetics from Ling Ran.

Grind his teeth secretly.

Lu Tinglan is crazy.

A week later, on the weekend, Han Ziqi and Ling Ran came to a golf course in sportswear.

Then, Ling Ran brought him to a strange man.

"Let me introduce to you, this is my good brother, Han Ziqi, who is studying in the Physics Department of Hunan University, and is your fellow apprentice."

Ling Ran turned to Han Ziqi and said, "This is Yang Xi, who is currently studying for a master's degree at MIT, and just came back from vacation recently."

"Hello."

Yang Xi wore thin-rimmed black-rimmed glasses, and stood in the sun smiling at him like a spring breeze, not annoying.

"Hello, junior." Yang Xi smiled and said, "Polite question, Professor Fu's saliva, how do you feel?"

Han Ziqi was taken aback, and then he couldn't help laughing, "Fortunately, I usually sit in the middle and back row, and I haven't experienced it myself."

There is a Professor Fu at Hunan University who teaches quantum mechanics. He is one of the most influential teachers in the school, but he has a serious flaw. He loves to slobber in his lectures, and the scope is so large that even the students sitting in the first row will not be spared.

Yang Xi couldn't help shaking his head, "You look down on Professor Fu too much. After a while, he will ask all the students to sit in the first row in turn. Anyone who dares to ask for leave or refuse to follow will fail the course directly."

Han Ziqi's spine felt cold.

"Of course, don't try to fool yourself by wearing a hat. His old fox doesn't like that at all. I was clever and brought a baseball bat to class, but I was forced to work as his experimental assistant for three years."

"I can feel the baptism of Professor Fu's saliva every week, so I can't feel his saliva now, and I still miss it." Yang Xi shrugged and laughed at himself: "Look, am I a bad taste?"

"However, when I came to Massachusetts to study in graduate school, I discovered something more terrifying than Professor Fu's saliva."

"What is it?" Han Ziqi couldn't help being curious.

"There is a hot pot in a Chinese restaurant across from Massachusetts, and the base material is actually Professor Fu's saliva."

Han Ziqi couldn't hold back anymore, he burst out laughing.

"You can imagine that I went all the way to a foreign country to study as a graduate student, but I still couldn't escape Professor Fu's clutches." Yang Xi spread his hands and laughed at himself, "The point is, I have a black friend who is particularly obsessed with the hot pot base of that family. Make an appointment with me once a week."

Yang Xi pressed his forehead, "He actually thought it was delicious. I suspect he is an insult to Chinese food."

Ling Ran interrupted the two of them, "Come on, come on, you two meet at the same door, you are very kind, don't leave me here, let's chat while we fight."

Yang Xi asked Han Ziqi, "Can you play golf?"

Han Ziqi shook his head.

Yang Xi handed over a cue, "Let me teach you, we elite students of the Physics Department of Hunan University will not be stumped by this simple sport."

Standing behind the two of them, Ling Ran took out his mobile phone, secretly took a few photos, and clicked to send.

On the other side, Lu Tinglan was negotiating for a land project in the East Development Zone.

He took out his phone and turned it on.

Ling Ran: Look, he's obviously happier when he's not with you.

Lu Tinglan's eyes stopped on the several groups of photos below, his knuckles were clearly tensed.

"Old Lu, hello, Lao Lu, can we let another 3000 million? The partner is quite solid and can develop into a long-term customer."

"No." Lu Tinglan said sarcastically, "The original price will be restored."

"The meeting ends." Lu Tinglan left a sentence and resolutely went to the office.

Others in the meeting were overwhelmed, "Hey, this is very appropriate, this really can't be done like this."

Situ Jing leaned on the swivel chair and watched the back of the other party leaving in a hurry, "It's okay, follow the original plan."

"But where is President Lu?"

"It's okay, I don't know why I'm sulking, so don't talk to him."

After coming out of the meeting room, Lu Tinglan called his assistant, "Shut down that golf course on Changqing Road immediately."

"now?"

"Yes."

"However, there are still many customers there. Mr. Ling is also there, so it might be inappropriate."

"Do as I say." Lu Tinglan hung up the phone without further words.

Less than 5 minutes after Ling Ran sent the message, the staff came over, "I'm sorry, the superior just sent an instruction that the library needs to be temporarily closed. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

Ling Ran had a half-smile, "Hmph, faster than I imagined."

"What do you mean?" Han Ziqi asked subconsciously.

"This stadium belongs to Lu Tinglan."

"So, he did it on purpose?"

"if not?"

"Lu Tinglan? Sister Ran, your fiancé?" The conversation between the two was stopped by the sudden words of the third person.

Ling Ran paused for a few seconds, and was the first to react, "Well, of course it's not."

"Sister Ran." Han Ziqi understood the reason for the marriage, but obviously this kind of thing should not be known to others.

"It's okay, he's one of our own."

Yang Xi is a smart person, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Ling Ran put the cue back into the basket, "Let's go, let's have afternoon tea."

The party continued into the evening, and after dinner, Ling Ran drove Han Ziqi back.

On the way, the boy's cell phone rang.

It was a familiar number, and Han Ziqi hung up three times in a fit of anger.

Ling Ran who noticed it couldn't help asking: "Lu Tinglan's?"

"Ah."

"I suggest you pick it up, otherwise he will go crazy for a week." Ling Ran said indifferently, "You have to know that when he goes crazy, the whole company has to accompany him to work overtime, eighteen hours a day, day and night. "

"It's not that exaggerated." Han Ziqi didn't believe it at all.

"Maybe it will be more exaggerated than this." Ling Ran shrugged, "Then I will block him for the next week."

Han Ziqi was angry, but he still clicked on the text message.

Han Ziqi: Is there something wrong?

Lu Tinglan: Did you go home?

Han Ziqi: Soon.

Lu Tinglan: Where are you now?I'll send a driver to pick you up.

The word "driver" burned hot in Han Ziqi's eyes.

Why is it the driver again, not myself.

Since he's so busy, he doesn't care what he does.

annoying.

Han Ziqi: No, Miss Ran sent me off.

Lu Tinglan: Just the two of you in the car?

Han Ziqi: Otherwise, who else do you want?

After a few more minutes, Lu Ting's message came again.

Lu Tinglan: You listen to me and go to America with your brother, okay?

The favorability that had finally recovered was completely wiped out by the other party's words, leaving nothing behind.

Han Ziqi: Let me say it again, don't try to dominate me, I will never go!

The person who persisted for so long and was not willing to be blacklisted was unceremoniously clicked and deleted by the young man at this second.

He obviously regretted it, but because of the backbone in his heart, he refused to regret it.

At the red light ahead, Ling Ran looked at the people behind him through the rearview mirror, "What, did you quarrel?"

"I blocked him."

Ling Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You children are still in the same routine, don't worry, you will come back sooner or later."

Han Ziqi pinched the edge of the phone and gritted his teeth, "No, never!"

Ling Ran sent Han Ziqi to the door, the young man was exactly the same as the Xiaoduo in her eyes, with that stubbornness on the surface, and softer and gentler heart than anyone else.

And they can't wait to keep the person they like by their side and hide them in their hearts, even if they pay any price, they have to protect them for a lifetime.

The boy who bid farewell to her had long since disappeared. Ling Ran regained his composure and started the car, but was dazzled by the flashing high beams.

Ling Ran was not surprised, and immediately put on the handbrake.

In less than a minute, the man in a suit and leather shoes opened the co-pilot's door and sat in.

"Since everyone is here, why don't you go up? Why do you want to hide here?"

"Boss Ling, you know I can't help it."

Ling Ran raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Let's make a condition." Lu Tinglan was business-like, "Shares, investment, land, anything is fine."

"Boss Lu, you know, for the two of us, we are desperately trying to make money, but money is never what we want." Ling Ran said, "So, the conditions you gave are too unattractive."

"How can you give up?"

"Give up what?"

Lu Tinglan looked tired and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Give up doing those meaningless things for Han Ziqi."

"It's meaningless?" Ling Ran sneered, "If it's meaningless, you wouldn't show up at his door today, and you wouldn't take the initiative to get into my car."

"Or, are you worried that sooner or later he will be out of your control, get farther and farther away from you, or even fall in love with someone else?"

"Lu Tinglan, do you know why I hate you?" Ling Ran's expression turned serious, "I'm disgusted by your escapist attitude. You dare not promise him the future, but you still hold him desperately and refuse to let go. Cowardly and incompetent!"

The surrounding atmosphere became tense due to Lu Tinglan's anger, "You're right, I'm just weak and incompetent. But you know what I've been through."

"Yes, of course I know, that's why I can bear with you." Ling Ran said, "But escaping is never an option, why can't you confess to him?"

"Are you afraid that after he knows what he really wants, he will be afraid of you, afraid of you, or even leave you forever?"

Lu Tinglan smiled helplessly: "I wish he could be afraid of me and leave me. But I know him too well. If I let him know that, he will only get closer to me. No matter what I do, he will never will leave."

Lu Tinglan's eyes turned red, "Ling Ran, you are willing to be imprisoned for Lin Duo, go to darkness, and even never return. Because you love her, you are willing to do everything for her."

"But Han Ziqi is also the only light in my heart. I don't want to let him accompany me into the darkness, and I don't want him to be a bit dirty. I just want to protect him, even if I pay all the price."

Lu Tinglan almost lost control, "I don't have any extravagance, that's all."

"Protect him, want him to be safe?" Ling Ran's nasal cavity was sore, "Even if the price is to lose him forever?"

The author has something to say: Dear friends, I will work harder and harder. By this week, Mr. Lu will be able to solve all the problems, and the emotional lines behind will be all sweet and sweet!

Knock on the blackboard, draw key points, remember that white suit, remember, I promise, it will make you very happy in the future! ! !trust me! ! !
