After the stand-in resigned

The driver finally brought the last pile of presents, piled up on the floor into a hill, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his brow, and said, "Miss, it's all here."

"Thanks for your hard work..." Ling Ran said, "I won't go back, you can go back by yourself."

Before the driver nodded, An Fan said, "By the way, take the gift away."

"This..." The driver looked at Ling Ran in embarrassment and asked her what she meant.

Ling Ran really couldn't decide, she looked at An Fan again, and An Fan said, "I don't need it."

Ling Ran tried to persuade: "I want to make up for you..."

"Then there's no need..." An Fan looked up at Ling Ran, "You can't compensate me by giving me a gift, and the birthday I thought about before wasn't receiving your gift."

Ling Ran felt sour for a while, and said to the driver after a while, "Thank you for your hard work, let's take it all away."

The driver then babbled and emptied the hill that had been built.

When the sound of the engine outside the yard goes away, it seems that even the last bit of noise in the summer night has been taken away, making the living room in this small courtyard extraordinarily quiet.

The light bulb above his head was glowing with a cold white light, An Fan looked at Ling Ran standing under the light, and cut through the silence: "Have you eaten yet?"

Ling Ran shook her head.

The buttercream on the surface of the cake bloomed into delicate flowers. An Fan estimated that Ling Ran would wait outside for a long time, so she said, "Sit down and eat some together."

An Fan just ordered a dish of boiled pork. The two of them shared a dish that was actually a bit small, but fortunately there was cake.

After the meal, An Fan first cut a piece for Ling Ran, and then cut another piece for himself. The two sat and ate the cake, still silent.

The atmosphere was really weird, and An Fan couldn't help but think about how awkward it was when she got along with Ling Ran before?It doesn't seem to be the case, Ling Ran used to love to chat, why doesn't he talk now?

After digging half of a piece of cake, An Fan realized that the taste was very familiar. She picked up the box and looked at the label. It was indeed the one she always ordered, that is, the one that ordered a mousse cake and a chestnut cake every year for her birthday. .

An Fan was surprised: "How do you know that I love this chestnut cake?"

An Fan thought it was a coincidence or something, but Ling Ran said, "I went to see your parents."

An Fan's eyes widened instantly.

"I want to know something." Ling Ran added weakly under An Fan's gaze.

You go see what they do!An Fan originally wanted to say this, but the reason why Ling Ran did this must be what she said, and it was meaningless to ask again, so An Fan had to express her dissatisfaction in another way: "You still dare to go out when you are like this!" Seeing someone? Aren't you afraid of being exposed!"

Ling Ran felt aggrieved by being rejected, she didn't even eat the cake, and said, "I can still have a meeting like this, I just came here after the meeting today."

An Fan didn't care about Ling Ran's professional ability, she only wanted to know one thing: "What did they tell you?"

Ling Ran said: "It was beyond my expectation. They were very supportive of me being with you, and they told me a lot about your childhood, including our first meeting."

An Fan was stunned for a moment. When she first met her, Ling Ran added, "It's in the Children's Palace. Your pants are dirty. I'll take you home."

"Uncles and aunts are very regretful. They asked me to treat you well. Before leaving, they also said that if possible, they hope that I can help persuade you and accept them. They want to treat you well and make up for you."

Just as An Fan was about to speak, Ling Ran lowered his head and sighed: "They seem to think that you will listen to me especially, and they even asked me to persuade you. But I am obviously on the same side as them, and you don't want to see me. I want them to help me persuade you."

Ling Ran said everything, but An Fan simply didn't say anything.

She settled the remaining cakes in a muffled voice before she put down the fork and heard the creak of the courtyard door being pushed open.An Fan looked out, just in time to see the landlady, Sister Liang, walking in.

"Hey, eat..." The polite words stopped the moment she saw Ling Ran, and she smiled a little embarrassedly and joked: "Oh, I haven't ruined anything good, have I?"

"Uh..." An Fan remembered the scene of being smashed by Sister Liang, and looked at Ling Ran, Ling Ran's neck was already flushed.

An Fan had no choice but to say hello: "We are eating cake, do you want to have a piece too? Bring some back to Uncle Liang."

"Okay, whose birthday is it?" Sister Liang replied very brightly, "I'm worried about supper, it seems that this trip came at the right time."

An Fan cut it in half, looked up curiously: "Sister, what's the matter here?"

"It's nothing, I didn't see you living alone a few days ago, and I wanted to come here to remind you to close the doors and windows these days, and don't go out casually at night."

Sister Liang took the water poured by Ling Ran, took a sip, and said: "The village chief is sending a group message to us, saying that a criminal seems to have escaped to our place. He has not been caught yet. He reminds us to pay attention to safety. The photo Yes, let me show you first."

Ling Ran looked at the photo with a serious face, An Fan also leaned over to look at it, and Sister Liang said, "I don't know if it's true, I just came to remind you to pay more attention to safety these days, and I wanted to ask if you want to go to our place Stay for a few days, and I'll be relieved to see your girlfriend here."

"Girlfriend?" An Fan shifted his focus.

"Ah..." Sister Liang pointed at Ling Ran: "Isn't that what it is... Ouch." She smiled embarrassingly as if thinking of something.

An Fan felt that Ling dyed/seduced her first, and she really couldn't explain it clearly, so she simply put up with it.

Sister Liang sent Anfan a safety notice and photos, and happily left with half of the cake in her arms.

Ling Ran was still staring at the security notification on Anfan's phone, Anfan gritted his teeth and asked her, "What's the matter with your girlfriend?"

Ling Ran slowly raised her head: "Last time she broke in suddenly and asked me who I was. You know what I looked like at the time. If I didn't say it was your girlfriend, we wouldn't be able to explain it."

It seemed so, but after hearing what was going on, An Fan became even more depressed, and said, "So you're fine if you don't dress like that."

Ling Ran was also dissatisfied: "The TV drama is deceiving, and you will change your mind if you say it like this, you bastard."

An Fan pursed his lips.

Ling Ran poked her again, and said in a serious tone: "It's so dangerous here, let's go back to my house for a few days, and come back when someone catches us."

"No." An Fan had already put away his phone and turned to clean up the dining table.In case no one can catch her all the time, can she still stay with Ling Ran?

Ling Ran followed up and persuaded: "It's okay if you don't go, then try not to go out these few days, and take me with you when you go out. You have to sleep with me at night. If I don't sleep, I will protect you by the side."

An Fan suspected that this was the real purpose, stared at her suspiciously, and finally snorted without saying a word.

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Ling Ran turned and left.

An Fan was surprised, he pricked up his ears to listen, and realized that Ling Ran had just gone to close the courtyard door, but she hadn't returned yet.

An Fan hid behind the door curiously, and saw Ling Ran wandering around the courtyard wall, raising his head from time to time, frowning, as if thinking about the possibility of entering through the courtyard wall.

An Fan stuffed the remaining cakes into the refrigerator, packed the box into a garbage bag, and Ling Ran came in from the outside after the inspection, and said, "The gate of the courtyard is still not safe. I checked and it is possible to climb in from outside the wall. Today I to sleep with you."

An Fan said: "Let's close the door and lock the door, everything will be fine."

Ling Ran didn't get into it: "I don't sleep, I'm watching you from the side..."

She said: "Anyway, I haven't been able to sleep recently, it doesn't matter if I sleep or not."

An Fan inexplicably remembered the picture of Ling Ran sleeping next to the washing machine with her skirt in his arms, and whenever he thought about the heat, he would get angry, An Fan hurriedly said, "Don't come, you sleep in the baby room."

Seeing that Ling Ran still wanted to refute, An Fan said: "The reason why the baby room is next to the bedroom is to take care of any movement at night. Sleeping in the baby room won't affect your looking at me... okay, let's just say that It's settled." An Fan hurriedly ended the topic.

The sleep problem is solved, but there are still difficulties before going to bed, such as taking a bath.

Judging by Ling Ran's clinginess, An Fan couldn't tell whether she was clingy by nature after amnesia or simply worried about her safety.

An Fan went to take a shower, Ling Ran wanted to watch her outside the bathroom door.An Fan thought at the time, if you like to guard it, guard it, it won't hinder her in any way.

But Ling Ran went to take a bath and asked her to accompany her, isn't that too much?

An Fan even dreamed of going back to the hotel where Li Xiang proposed on the night, she was forced to stay in the room by Ling Ran, just like this, she took a bath and Ling Ran guarded the door, and Ling Ran asked her to go in as a spectator while taking a bath, it was unreasonable.

An Fan would not play tricks with her a second time, and flatly rejected this request.

The consequence of refusing this request was that Ling Ran took a quick battle bath.

An Fan remembered that the time passed when she picked up the phone to check the news, Ling Ran had already entered from the door, and the door was closed and locked in one go.

Entering the bedroom and meeting An Fan's eyes, Ling Ran explained for some reason: "I'm not dirty."

"Oh." An Fanxin said that it's none of my business, you don't sleep with me anyway.

An Fan watched Ling Ran walk by with his hair loose, a thought flashed through his mind, and he asked, "Are you scared?"

Ling Ran paused, and then agreed: "Yes, so can you let me sleep here?"

An Fan stretched out his hand in a "please" gesture: "I can take care of you even where you sleep, and take care of each other."

Ling Ran then went back to the nursery.

There is no air-conditioning in the baby room, all because the doors of the bedroom and the baby room are not closed, and a fan is blowing to send cold air in.

As soon as Ling Ran entered the baby's room, there was no movement. After a while, even the lights were turned off, leaving only the slight sound of the fan.

An Fan noticed that Ling Ran who entered the baby room had a special magical power. She was always curious about what Ling Ran was doing. This kind of thinking was really bad. In order not to repeat the same mistakes, An Fan also turned off the lights and closed his eyes to sleep.

I don't fall asleep at the usual time, even if I fall asleep, I feel half-dream and half-awake, and I don't always sleep deeply.

I don't know how long I have been sleeping like this, but suddenly there was a crisp "pop" sound from the courtyard wall, like the sound of broken glass, which especially stimulated people's eardrums in the quiet night.

An Fan woke up with a start, goosebumps on his arms, and cold sweat slowly seeping down his back.

She gasped for breath, and the hands that fell outside the quilt were suddenly held. They were a pair of warm hands, which continuously delivered the heat of ironing, covering her cold fingertips.

Through the faint moonlight outside the window, An Fan saw a person leaning against the edge of the bed, who was patting her chest, again and again, with a gentle and comfortable frequency.

An Fan slowly realized that this was Ling Ran.

It was supposed to be a horror story to fall asleep in the middle of the night and find someone next to the bed, but An Fan didn't seem to be afraid.

On the contrary, the fear aroused by the shattering glass was miraculously soothed by the person at the edge of the bed.

An Fan didn't know how long Ling Ran had been guarding her bedside. She later realized that there were rumors of criminals fleeing here, so she suddenly spoke hoarsely: "Ling Ran?"

"Did I wake you up?" Ling Ran replied quickly, and she was awake when she heard the voice.

An Fan asked, "Are you afraid?"

Ling Ran paused, and it took a long time before she gave a soft "hmm".

An Fan moved aside and said, "Then you can go to sleep."
