try to help. "

"Brother, I want to borrow money."

His voice was as thin as a mosquito, but at the end of the quiet corridor, Xiang Ran could still hear it clearly. "How much to borrow?"

"20." After Xiaobai reported the figure, he probably felt that the amount was quite large. After all, he hadn't returned the 15 he borrowed last time, so he quickly explained the reason, "My friend's leg injury is not recovering well, the doctor Said that if he can’t pay for further treatment, he may have to amputate his limb, he is an orphan, and he has no friends, and the only one who can help is me.”

Xiang Ran frowned slightly, "Yes, it's right to lend a helping hand when a friend needs it. Let me transfer it to you now, or the account from last time?"

"That's right." Xiaobai nodded sharply, his eyes became brighter, and the sadness on his face instantly dissipated, replaced by a bright smile. "Brother, thank you. I will work hard to repay you, and I will slowly pay back the money I borrowed from you."

Xiang Ran took out his mobile phone to transfer money, and comforted him, "It's okay, don't be burdened."

"Okay, pay attention to check the receipt."

Xiaobai nodded vigorously, "Thank you brother, then I'll go back to the ward to see my aunt."

Xiang Ran waved to him, watching his leaving back, his originally boring thoughts were interrupted by him, Xiang Ran also decided to get up and leave.

He supported the wall and stood up slowly. Standing up suddenly after squatting for a long time made his eyes darken, and his legs were so numb that he lost consciousness.He stood motionless against the wall, quietly waiting for the dizziness to pass.

Just when he was trying to adapt to the dizziness, footsteps came from the corridor, and then a male voice with a slight accent sounded,

"So smooth!"

Xiang Ran vaguely felt that the voice was familiar, and a picture flashed through his mind in a flash. In the hotel room that caused him a lot of harm, the man who pressed on him and raped him also had the same accent.

It's the gangster with the mole under the corner of his eye!

Xiang Ran was very sure that this voice had appeared in his nightmares countless times, and he definitely heard it right.

The gangster who brutally raped him twice is close at hand, and Xiang Ran can't wait to rush up to subdue him now, but his legs are as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and the blood on his face has faded, and cold sweat is rushing out , The whole person froze in place, unable to even take a step.

He seemed to be back in that messy hotel room again, without any strength in his body, he could only be violated without resistance, no one came to save him, and he could only helplessly watch himself being swallowed up bit by bit.

His stiff body was suddenly put on a hand.

Xiang Ran screamed in fright, took a few steps back, shrank and hid in the corner of the wall, covered his head with both hands, closed his eyes tightly, trembling all over, and kept exclaiming: "Don't, don't..."

"What's the matter with you?" Zhou Chao approached him, wanting to reach out to pull him into his arms but afraid of irritating him, one hand was hanging in the air, hesitating.When he found his figure in the corridor, he felt that something was wrong with him. He just touched his shoulder lightly when he came over, and he was immediately frightened like this.

"It's me, Zhou Chao, what happened? What are you afraid of?"

Is he coming to save me?A voice sounded in the broken Xiang Ran's mind, his closed eyes slowly opened a crack, and he saw clearly that it was the familiar figure, and he suddenly opened his arms and plunged into his chest.The warm and familiar breath swept away the uneasiness in his heart, and he involuntarily deepened the hug, rubbing his head against his side neck continuously.

Zhou Chao was stunned for a second, and then he was overwhelmed by the ecstasy in his heart. He patted his back with one hand, and asked him softly: "What's wrong?"

"... just passed the stairs... I heard his voice... that person..." Xiang Ran was a little incoherent.

"Who?" Zhou Chao was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "You mean the gangster who hurt you with an accent?"

What answered him was Xiang Ran's obvious body shaking.

"I'll go after it." Zhou Chao said and wanted to run to the stairs.

"Don't leave me." Xiang Ran hugged him tightly the moment he pulled away. "It's long gone now."

"Okay, I'm not leaving," Zhou Chao said softly to coax him, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'm here..."

The faint rays of the setting sun shone on this small area, and the scene of the two embracing each other was also dyed a layer of gold.

At night, Xiang Ran walked into the bathroom with his clothes on his front feet, and Zhou Chao took out his mobile phone on his back feet, and quietly went to the balcony to make a call.

"Xiao Chen, send someone to check Bai Lu carefully. Xiang Ran transferred another 20 to his account today, and find out why he is short of money and where the money is going. Be gentle, and don't let Xiang Ran know. "

At the same time, in a shabby house, Xiao Bai frowned and kicked away the empty wine bottle in front of him, and threw a thick file bag on the table, "This is [-], and the rest will be picked up in two days." for you."

There was an indescribable disgust on his face, dissatisfaction in his voice, and he stared at the other person sharply, as if he was a different person from his usual well-behaved and obedient appearance.

The man sitting at the table holding the wine bottle excitedly put down the wine bottle when he saw the envelope, took the envelope and couldn't wait to open it, "Hey, good, great." Because of his excitement, his voice with an accent at this moment Even more ambiguous.

The old light bulbs in the house were shining dimly. Even though the light was dim, the moles under his eyes, which were narrowed into slits when he smiled, were still clearly visible.

Seeing his greedy face, Xiaobai felt annoyed, "You are really getting more and more insatiable, and you even came to the hospital to find me just to ask for money."

"What are you afraid of? He hasn't seen me anyway." The man said nonchalantly while counting the money.

Xiaobai became more irritable, "You should restrain yourself, last time it was 15 yuan, and this time the lion asked for 20 yuan. Can you gamble less? We can agree that we will not Ask me for money again."

"I know, I know." The man was also annoyed.

Xiaobai finished his work and didn't want to stay, turned around to leave but was stopped by that thick accent. "What?" He turned to look at him impatiently.

The man's eyes lit up, "The photos we took last time are almost dusty, do you think we can use this to blackmail him severely."

"No!" Xiaobai suddenly refused. "These photos are of great use to me."

Under the man's inquiring gaze, Xiaobai sneered, "He's been very popular recently, so many girls are chasing after him and calling him husband, if the photos are released at this time, it will be enough to destroy his reputation. This kind of climbing from the highest point to being suddenly caught The feeling of being pulled to the center of the earth is unforgettable."

The backlight on his face was shrouded in shadow, making it difficult to see the expression on his face clearly. The chilling shimmer in those eyes and the viciousness in his words made the man opposite him shudder.

That night, Yan Yan's house renovation project was completed, and he prepared a sumptuous dinner to celebrate with Zhou Yi.

Zhou Chao is holding the stewed soup in the kitchen, ready to drink it when Xiang Ran comes out of the shower.

On the surface, it seems to be calm, and everyone is living happily.But it's like the surface of a lake that seems so calm without any ripples, but no one knows that the hidden reef under the water surface is silently surfacing.

On the second night, it was the time when netizens were most active after dinner. An anonymous netizen who had just registered posted on a gossip website with a lot of traffic, "Large-scale photos of the new young student Xiang Ran, quick look..."

The appearance of this post was like a drop of water dripping from a hot oil pan, and it exploded in an instant.

Netizens who were reasonable at first left messages one after another,

"It's not the same person, is it?"

"It's just the angle!"

"It's obviously a P-picture. Someone saw that he is gaining momentum recently, hack him!"

......

Immediately afterwards, this netizen released several high-definition photos taken from multiple angles. In the photos, Xiang Ran was placed in various unsightly poses, and the man pressing on him was shot in all directions.

Netizens were dumbfounded, and then changed direction.Netizens who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement rolled up their sleeves and typed quickly on the keyboard. Tens of millions of comments made this post a hot topic in an instant.

"Fuck, it's really him! Tsk tsk!"

"I really can't tell, she looks so gentle and jade-like, she's quite relaxed on the bed!"

"It has long been rumored that he is crooked, and now the evidence is overwhelming!"

"It has been widely rumored that he was hired by the big boss of Xingyue, so he took the position so quickly. The man who coded is Zhou Chao, right?"

"Hey, my girlfriend is his fan, and she is crying now, let's not talk about it, I have to comfort my girlfriend."

This post survived for only 10 minutes before it was taken down by Xingyue PR, but these 10 minutes were enough for those unsightly photos to spread among netizens.

Although the mainstream media was forced to remain silent by Xingyue, it still couldn't stop the explosive discussions on the gossip forums.

Netizens keep posting asking for photos, and one or two good netizens post photos, which are quickly deleted by public relations, and then there are posts asking for photos, and the cycle repeats.

The lights of Xingyue Entertainment's public relations department were brightly lit, and the staff tensed up to deal with it urgently. Xiao Chen was so anxious that he sighed and paced back and forth.

When Zhou Chao received the photo from Xiao Chen, he was coaxing Xiang Ran to eat more food. When his phone vibrated, he opened WeChat casually, and several photos came into view unexpectedly. He got angry and threw the phone away with a bang. When I turned my head to look at Xiang Ran, I saw that his face was already pale and limp on the chair, trembling slightly, his eyes staring blankly at the front, and he kept muttering: "It's him...it's him... .He still refuses to let me go..."

Zhou Chao hugged him tightly in his arms distressedly, and kept rubbing his face against his cold cheeks, hoping to send him a trace of coldness.
