072: Countdown to the ending (12) 072: Countdown to the ending (12)

In the dim light, Lan Sichen stopped and turned his back to her, his back obviously stiff. Without looking back, a low voice lingered in the empty room, "Besides me, what else can wake you up from your nightmare?

"

Si Lan's hands hanging by his side were clenched weakly, his cicada-shaped eyelashes were trembling slightly, covering his deep and complicated eyes, he tugged his lips, and said in a dry voice for a long time, "Si Chen, I don't want to lie to you.

.The nightmare is indeed related to you, but it is definitely not because of what happened before. Do you believe me?"

Lan Sichen turned around slowly, his eyes falling mechanically on her face one by one. She was thin, pale, and pitiful.

"Perhaps what I don't believe in is fate."

Asi, you are very tolerant. You have the purest heart in the world. You can forgive and let go of past hurts. You forgive Qin Xin, forgive me...

But, As... fate is not forgiving...

It doesn't want us to be together, so what's the point even if I try my best.

The black shadow disappeared into the room, and the tense atmosphere suddenly fell into the ice cave, making people suffocated by the cold. Silan tried his best to suppress the impulse in his heart, bit his lower lip, and looked at the closed door.

Empty, deserted, and the sound of cracks between them shattered Silan's stubborn waiting.

Lan Sichen, to be honest, you don’t want to believe me.

So what if fate is intolerant, so what if the whole world doesn't want us to be together?

What Asi wants is just to be with you, safe and sound forever.

Si Lan didn't know how long he sat there. He fumbled for the cell phone on the bedside table in the dark, pulled out a number from the phone book and dialed it. After ringing for a long time, a low and angry voice came from the other side, "Stupid woman, you better

There is enough reason to call me at such a late hour! Otherwise, I will definitely think you are seducing me!"

"Ruixiu..." Si Lan's voice choked up as he opened his mouth, and he said softly, as if asking for help, "Help me... please help me."

Lan Ruixiu, who was still not clear-headed at first, suddenly stood up when he heard the sobs in her voice, "What happened?"

At dawn, Si Lan made an appointment with Lan Ruixiu and Lan Yunsheng to meet at the restaurant.

Silan received a call from Li Mingzhe while waiting for them.

The man was still arrogant and sycophantic, "I just received the news that he has already taken action. What about you? Are you still planning to sit back and wait for him to abandon you?"

Disappointment flashed through Si Lan's black eyes, and she held the phone tightly with her fingers. She tried her best to keep her voice calm, "Thank you for telling me all this."

Li Mingzhe sneered disdainfully, "You don't need to thank me, I just can't stand how happy you guys are!"

"Really?" If you really can't stand it, you didn't say anything at first and just waited to watch the show. You didn't have to say so many words and do so many things.

Li Mingzhe, are you afraid that I won't be able to accept the fact of being abandoned and will go crazy again?

Li Mingzhe didn't answer her and directly cut off the phone. Si Lan put down the phone and looked up to see the two men sitting in front of him. They both looked at him with inquiring and worried eyes...

In their eyes, Silan saw his pale and haggard look, as if he was going to die soon...

No wonder they are worried.

"Wouldn't Helianze be surprised that you came out so early?"

Lan Yunsheng shrugged nonchalantly, "I'll bring breakfast back later, so I'll tell him and buy him breakfast." He must have been so moved.

Lan Ruixiu's eagle eyes were sharp and he asked coldly: "What happened?" He had never heard her speak to him in such a helpless tone.

"If I had a choice...I wouldn't want you...but I have no choice now. Only you can help me now..."

Si Lan raised his head, his bright and clear eyes lost their past brilliance, and the flowing light flashed with a trace of helplessness and help...

Lan Ruixiu and Lan Ruixiu looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly. Si Lan must have something serious to say, and it was because of Lan Sichen, otherwise she would not not go to Lan Sichen, but to the two of them.

personal.

***

When Silan returned home, he was a little surprised to see Lan Sichen sitting on the sofa. When he went out in the morning, he was not at home yet. It was already noon and he was not at the company...

Are you waiting for me here on purpose?

I glanced at the suitcase at his feet with my peripheral vision, my eyes trembled, I looked at him in disbelief, my jaw tightened...

Lan Sichen stood up, looked at her calmly with his deep eyes, and said calmly: "I'm going on a business trip for about half a month."

On a business trip? Si Lanjuanxiu frowned and really wanted to say, are you sure you are on a business trip and not avoiding me?

Lan Sichen strode to stand in front of her, tapped her frowned brow with his fingertips, and whispered softly: "Don't frown, like an old woman!"

Si Lan bit her lip and stared at him closely. All the words were choked in her throat and she didn't know where to start.

"We only have half a month. I have already made an agreement with the hourly worker. She will come to make breakfast for you in the morning, lunch and evening, and will not disturb you. I am not at home, so you have to take care of yourself." Lan Sichen slapped his hands.

He rubbed the back of her head, running his fingers through her hair, stroking it reluctantly.

"Come back soon." Si Lan said these four words with difficulty, hugging his strong waist tightly with both hands, reluctant to let him go, as if he would never be seen again once he left.

The smile at the corner of Lan Sichen's mouth was a little unnatural, and although his eyes were endlessly doting, they were not as pure as before.

"Be good."

After all, his hands slumped down by his side, he turned away from her embrace, picked up his suitcase, and walked towards the door, not daring to look back, afraid to look at each other, and reluctant to give up.

In the end, I will be reluctant to leave her.

Silan stood there, quietly watching his tall and lonely figure move away from him little by little, and was met by the overwhelming coldness.

The crisp, decisive sound of the door slamming hard hit his heart, and his courage was a little sad. Silan didn't know why he wanted to laugh, but the smile at the corner of his mouth was bitter and tormenting.

After a long time, she just said one thought-provoking sentence, "Lan Sichen, you still broke your promise to me..."

It seems that a home without Lan Sichen cannot be called a "home", but can be called a "house" reluctantly.

The hourly worker's cooking skills were very good, but not as good as hers, and not as good as Lan Sichen's. Silan ate very little at every meal, throwing most of them away or feeding them to stray cats and dogs.

Lan Sichen rarely called Silan after going on a business trip, and when he did, Silan was sleeping. Hearing her soft and unprepared voice, he cut the call after a few words.

Si Lan would often stare at the phone in a daze, tossing and turning in the middle of the night and unable to fall asleep, even if he drank a whole bottle of alcohol, it was of no use.

Lying on the big bed, Si Lan touched the place where he lay. The temperature was freezing, and her mood fell to the bottom. She finally knew what was causing her to be unable to sleep or eat.

——Lovesickness.

Lovesickness is such a beautiful word; but it seems so sour to Si Lan.

The person he misses must miss him, but he would rather the two of them resist the long and deep longing than return to her.

Lan Sichen, is this the answer you gave me?

During the day, Silan went to see those children. Several children had been adopted and taken away by kind-hearted people, and several new children had arrived. They had no families and only had this place. Silan was particularly patient when facing them.

"Sister, aren't you happy?" Seven-year-old Ruoruo was abandoned because of her natural cleft lip. She was originally adopted. However, the couple who adopted her not long ago had their own child. Naturally, they didn't want Ruoruo so they gave her away.

Entered the orphanage.

Silan's face was startled. She often laughed when she was with her children, but she didn't know why Ruoruo would say this.

"Ruoruo, why do you ask like this?"

Ruoruo touched Silan's cheek with her weak and boneless hands, and said slowly in a childish voice: "Because my sister's eyes are not smiling, my sister's eyes are crying."

Silan couldn't help but hug Ruoruo tightly, no longer pretending to smile, "Because sister doesn't know what to do."

"My sister's eyes can cry, and my uncle's eyes can also cry. My sister doesn't know what to do, and my uncle doesn't know what to do either... You are all so strange." Ruoruo pouted her little mouth and said gloomily.

"Uncle?" Is the monsoon steady?

Didn’t Monsoon Wen take Yunsu on a honeymoon abroad?

Ruoruo nodded fiercely, and when she mentioned her uncle, her eyes immediately lit up, "Very beautiful uncle. My uncle likes Ruoruo very much. Both my uncle and Sister Silan really like Ruoruo, and Ruoruo knows it."

Pretty uncle, besides Feng Wen, who else would come here to see the children?

A thought flashed across Slan's mind, a little confused and uncertain, could it be him?

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Ruoruo looked at Si Lan carefully. Her face was cold and emotionless. The child's heart is fragile and sensitive. "Did I say something wrong?"

"No! Ruoruo didn't say the wrong thing!" Silan rubbed her soft hair and hugged her as if he was holding Xiaozhe. Xiaozhe always looked at him with careful eyes, as if he was afraid that he said the wrong thing.

, just like you won’t be liked if you do something wrong.

"Ruoruo, can you tell sister, what uncle looks like?" Cong Chengguang.

"Uncle..." Ruoruo's sharp eyes saw the figure who was about to turn around and leave in the distance, she pointed at him excitedly and said: "The beautiful uncle is here..."

Silan followed her finger and looked in that direction. When her watery eyes saw that person, surprise flowed through her eyes. Her heart seemed to be hit by something inexplicably. It kept trembling and it hurt completely...

Lan Sichen was holding a lot of things in his hands, standing there, his eyes suddenly met with Si Lan's. For a moment, it was as if the world had stopped and the earth had forgotten to rotate. The two people could only see each other in their eyes, and could no longer see each other.

It’s time for the others…

A glimpse of thousands of years, a sea of ​​changes.

The memory traveled back to the time when he was at the gate of the orphanage. Xu Xiaozhe ran towards him excitedly, calling him daddy, daddy...

Now the scene has reappeared, and once again things have changed and people have changed.

"Pretty uncle...are you here to see Ruoruo?" Ruoruo broke free from Si Lan's hand, ran towards Lan Sichen, and hugged his legs excitedly.
To be continued...
