"When you understand, you will know what love is."

Shangguan Jue's voice was very soft. At an age when he didn't understand love, he didn't know what love was. But when he discovered what love was, it had already penetrated deep into his bones and he was unable to let go...

******************************

Today Qiu Ze and An Ran went to visit the two people's new home. Although Lan Yuan liked living together as a family, considering that the two were newlyweds after all, living together alone was more conducive to the development of their relationship, so they and Qiu Yuan

I took the initiative to give a house to two people as a wedding gift. It is only a twenty-minute drive from their home. You only need to add some furniture and decorate it yourself to move in.

Work is being done in a hurry to prepare it for use as a new house.

The two of them went to see the progress today. After arriving at the new house, Qiu Ze began to direct this and that, busy non-stop, while An Ran walked to the side, picked up water, took out a box of things from the bag, took a look and returned

Qiu Ze, who was busy, hesitated and put it in his mouth. The two of them stayed busy in the new house until the evening before driving back to Qiu's house for dinner.

On the way back, he passed by a cake shop. An Ran hesitated for a moment and then said to Qiu Ze: "Qiu Ze, stop the car."

"Is something wrong?"

"I'll buy something."

It seemed to have become a habit. After An Ran got out of the car, he walked out shortly after holding a small cake in his hand.

"Don't you like this cake flavor?"

What's next? "Suddenly I want to eat."

An Ran was stunned for a moment, then explained softly.

*******************************

Xiaoxiao fell asleep. Shangguan Rui left Xiaoxiao's room and returned to his own room. The room without turning on the lights was completely shrouded in darkness. Today is a special day. I have been waiting for it. In the end, my phone never vibrated. My heart felt like a needle.

It felt like it was being pricked, and it was so densely painful that it was almost suffocating.

Leaning against the bedside, he reached out and picked up the cell phone placed aside.

His fingers slid over the buttons, and finally a group of numbers appeared in the dialing bar.

A set of unmarked numbers, this is the new number he got. It has been in his hand for several days, but he has not pulled it out once.

As if guarding something carefully, at night, there was a dull pain in my chest, and the number I had just glanced at had been imprinted in my mind.

My hand shook for a moment, and when I realized what I was doing, the phone had already been pulled out.

This number has been pressed countless times but never dialed once...

The beeping sound was so clear in the dark night, and Shangguan Rui's big hand on the bed was so tight.

An Ran was leaning on something on the bed when the phone rang and he glanced at the number...

My heart trembled slightly.

Looking towards the bathroom, Qiu Ze was taking a shower.

The phone was still ringing. After hesitating for a moment, An Ran reached for the phone and walked to the balcony connected to the bedroom, pressing the answer button.

The moment the call was connected, there was silence between them.

Shangguan Rui felt the pain in his chest become even more severe. In the darkness, only the light of the screen remained.

"Today is my birthday."

"Happy birthday."

An Ran paused and said in a calm voice. Today is his birthday, she remembered. But she was busy from morning to night, and finally silently pretended to forget about it. She has become accustomed to four birthdays in four years.

I said happy birthday to him from the bottom of my heart.

Then there was silence again…

"If there's nothing else, I'll first...".

The words haven’t finished yet…

"Honey, the water has been put away for you, you can take a shower."

Qiu Ze came out of the bathroom and saw An Ran on the balcony, with a bath towel around his waist and wiping his wet hair, and walked in. An Ran's hand shook inaudibly, as if he wanted to hold down the phone.

Before taking action, he silently put it down. In fact, what was he covering up...

Shangguan Ruixin on the other side of the phone seemed to have been stabbed suddenly, with blood dripping from his face.

"You...sleep together?"

It was difficult to spit out every word. Shangguan Rui closed his eyes in the darkness to cover his painful eyes. The sharp pain eroded in the dark night, so painful.

"Um."

An Ran's throat hurt a little, and she uttered a word hoarsely.

"Don't call me anymore. It's not good for each other."

An Ran took a deep breath, said it slightly coldly, and hung up the phone. The phone was so painful that it was held in her hand, and she heard the painful gasping sound on the other end of the phone. In fact, this phone connection should not be connected.

He picked it up, even though he knew who it was, he still picked it up before his brain came to his senses. He exhaled heavily, it would only increase the pain, so why bother.

"Honey, what's wrong? It's cold outside, come in quickly."

Qiu Ze looked at An Ran who was still standing outside and walked over. When An Ran turned his head, the expression on his face was well hidden.

"Well, I'm fine. I'm going to take a shower."

"Go quickly."

Qiu Ze nodded and spoke nonchalantly, with a hint of joking. His eyes looked at An Ran, who had turned away from him, and his back was a little stiff. Qiu Ze did not follow him back to the room immediately, but stood there.

, the lowered eyes hide the deepest emotions.

After following An Ran for four years, he got to know not only An Ran, but also Shangguan Rui...

Today is his birthday... That cake is Shangguan Rui's favorite... Every year on this day, An Ran will buy a cake like that, and he will be in another car, watching her sitting alone in the cake shop

Finish the cake...

*************************************

"Mom, Qi Sheng will be obedient, please don't stop Qi Sheng."

"Mom, Qi Sheng will listen to whatever you say. Don't stop Qi Sheng."

"Mom, because I know you don't want anyone to check me, so Qi Sheng listens to mom."

"Mom, Qi Sheng didn't do it on purpose. Qi Sheng just wanted her mother to see her uncle."

"Mom, I hope it doesn't hurt, really."

As the sun set and the night shrouded, Xia Ruoyu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes. The tears almost never stopped. Even when she was sedated and fell asleep, tears would continue to flow from the corners of her eyes. The pillow was soaked.

While Qi Sheng's words kept lingering in her mind, Xia Ruoyu's eyes just stared at the ceiling...

"Ruoyu."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded in her ears, and Xia Ruoyu slowly turned her gaze to look at the tired-looking man.

When Feng Xirui's face came into view, Xia Ruoyu's silently weeping face suddenly twisted into a ball. She sat up from the bed, raised her hand, and slapped Feng Xirui's face hard.

The sharp sound broke the silence of the night...

"Murderer, please return Qi Sheng to me. Feng Xirui, please return Qi Sheng to me. You murderer, my Qi Sheng, you killed my Qi Sheng."

Xia Ruoyu lifted Feng Xirui's collar like she was crazy and screamed hysterically.

Feng Xirui's face was slapped hard by Xia Ruoyu, and the fingerprints were clearly reflected on his handsome face.

"Ruoyu."

Feng Xirui clasped Xia Ruoyu's wrist and hugged Xia Ruoyu forcefully into his arms.

"Don't touch me, ah...let me go, your hands are stained with my Qi Sheng's blood, it's all because of you, Qi Sheng died...it's all because of you..."

Xia Ruoyu was so excited that she struggled violently in Feng Xirui's arms. Even Feng Xirui's strength could not control Xia Ruoyu's struggle.

The person was pushed away a little, and Xia Ruoyu threw everything within reach at Feng Xirui. Then she got off the bed with bare feet and was about to walk out...

"I want to see Qi Sheng, Qi Sheng...my Qi Sheng..."

Why is she here? Where is her Qi Sheng?

Xia Ruoyu got out of bed, and the fragment she had just thrown on the ground was stepped on by her. The sharp fragment pierced the sole of his foot. The pain was obviously very painful, but Xia Ruoyu seemed not to feel it...

"Ruoyu."

Feng Xirui, who was pushed back, saw Xia Ruoyu's feet stepping on the broken glass and immediately came over. Before the person could get closer, Xia Ruoyu's feet had moved again and her body was leaning back. Her whole body was moving forward.

The fragments fell over, and Feng Xirui didn't care about Xia Ruoyu's excessive emotions. He stretched out his hand to hug Xia Ruoyu and hugged her hard into his arms...

The door was also pushed open at this moment...

"Ruier."

When Xu Qing opened the door, she saw at a glance that Xia Ruoyu's feet were stained with blood, and there were several distinct blood marks on the ground. Feng Xirui hugged Xia Ruoyu and stood among the broken glass that was shattered on the ground.

"Mom, you go out first."
