In the dream, Shu Ran's whole body was tightly tied up with ropes like water snakes. She was tied up and couldn't move. She opened her mouth to call for help, but large mouthfuls of water were poured in. The water came over her throat and squeezed her.

It held her chest, and she felt so uncomfortable that she felt suffocated and on the verge of death.

On the huge round water bed, the woman rolling around on the bed wrapped in silk quilts was breathing rapidly and nervously. She closed her eyes and felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to scream. Although her mouth was open, she couldn't.

She made a sound, her body was in a large shape with her back pressed against the bed, her limbs seemed to be tightly fixed, she struggled and swayed her head, and the toes of both feet were raised with force.

It’s uncomfortable, it’s uncomfortable!!

Just when she thought she was going to die, she opened her eyes suddenly. What she saw was the snow-white ceiling, not the sea in her dream. She turned to look at her hands. She was not tied.

She tried to curl up her legs, but she felt that her limbs were too weak to exert any strength. Her heart was pounding and she struggled to get up. The pain in her wrists made her cry out in pain. She saw the marks on her wrists.

, the dark purple-red color was printed on her wrist in a zigzag pattern. These marks reminded her that the nightmare last night was real.

As soon as the crazy scene from last night came to mind, Shu Ran hugged her head tightly. When she retracted her feet, the eye-catching rope marks on her ankles made her tremble with fear.

With a click, the bathroom door of the bedroom opened. The man walking out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel looked at the woman sitting on the bed and walked over, but Shu Ran couldn't help but couldn't help herself when she heard his footsteps.

Shrinking back, the panic in his eyes made Shang Qingwen, who was approaching, slightly raise his eyebrows. He sat close and sat over, reaching out to hug her who was shaking, but she avoided it and stared at him with eyes.

Full of rejection and vigilance, he exhaled heavily and whispered: "Ranran, let me see your injuries!"

She looked like a wounded little animal, which made his heart ache slightly.

"Don't come over, you're not allowed to touch me!" Shu Ran yelled at him in a hoarse voice. He is a devil. She hated him for treating him like that last night!

Shang Qingwen's eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but lean over and reach out to hug her. When her fists fell like raindrops, he endured it silently. Even when he hugged her, her legs and legs

Her feet were kicking him like crazy. Shang Qingwen held her in his arms and waited until she was tired before saying softly: "I'll apply some medicine on me! You've already applied it once before! Don't move!"

"Shang Qingwen, get out, you are not allowed to touch me!" Shu Ran's eyes were frighteningly red. She was like an enraged little lion, eager to eat Shang Qingwen who was holding her in one bite.

Go down.

"Of course!" Shang Qingwen's brows were knitted tightly together, and he reached out to touch the injured area where she was strangled by the rope, and hugged her tighter, "Stop making trouble, let me apply medicine to you!

"The red marks on her limbs shocked him. He hurt her last night!

Why would Shu Ran let him touch her? She struggled until Shang Qingwen let go of her. She wrapped the silk quilt around herself and hid at the foot of the bed in fear. Shang Qingwen looked at her actions and felt heavy in his heart.

He calmed down and said softly, "I won't touch you, so you can rest for a while! I'll call you from the school to ask for leave!"

"You don't need to worry about my affairs!" The expression on Shu Ran's pale face was without any warmth, so cold and distant!

Shang Qingwen's lowered eyes were as deep as thick ink. He turned away and went to the dressing room to change clothes. When he came back, he saw Shu Ran still squatting beside the bed. His heart ached slightly. He turned and walked out of the bedroom door, following that

There was a sound of closing the door, and Shu Ran, who was squatting on the ground, shrank into a ball. She was so sad that she wanted to cry. She cried loudly. Her red and swollen eyes were painful and painful. She covered herself with the silk quilt wrapped around her body.

His face vented his inner helplessness into tears.

"Of course, you, do you know, in the newspaper -" Lin Xuejing's voice through the phone was shocked and filled with incredible surprise. When her call came, Shu Ran was walking alone in the CBD square of City D.

On the pedestrian street, more and more people came out for air on Friday afternoon. The sound of the light rail passing by in mid-air shook the cold air. On the wooden seats, comfortable hands were sitting on the chairs.

He held a cup of milk tea in his hand, but the milk tea was already cold.

As if sensing Shu Ran's abnormality, Lin Xuejing whispered twice after receiving no response, "Ran Ran, where are you? I'll come find you!"

"I'm fine, don't worry!" Shu Ran said softly. She felt cold while sitting on the wooden chair. There are such wooden chairs at a distance on the pedestrian street. In winter, except for the part above the head that protects from rain,

Both sides were empty, and when the cold wind blew, the people sitting on the chairs could not help but shiver.

Shu Ran tightened her coat a little tighter, put on Bluetooth headphones on her ears, and when she curled up her neck, she wished she could bury her face deeper.

"Of course, please tell me where you are and I'll come find you, okay?" Lin Xuejing heard the strangeness in her tone of voice, and her worry became more and more solemn. The newspaper published an article about Mr. Shang from the Shang Group.

It was reported that they received their marriage certificate at three o'clock in the morning yesterday, and photos of the two hugging each other intimately in City L were also released. Although the image taken in the photo was not particularly clear, Lin Xuejing, who was familiar with Shu Ran, could tell it was her at a glance.

Lin Xuejing knew about the closeness between the two of them, but was Shu Ran crazy when she received the marriage certificate so quickly?

As a good friend, Lin Xuejing has no idea at all. This world is too crazy. How long have they known each other?

Shu Ran did not tell Lin Xuejing where she was, but only told her that she wanted to be alone, so Lin Xuejing had no choice but to agree and told her to call her as soon as possible if anything happened.

After hanging up the phone, Shu Ran raised her face and looked at the light rail passing by in mid-air. She caught a glimpse of Ms. Shu's phone number lighting up on the screen of her mobile phone. The flickering profile picture hurt her eyes. She turned off her mobile phone. She didn't want to answer it now.

Any phone call.

There are more and more people in the pedestrian street. People around the chairs come and go, but Shu Ran has been sitting here for more than an hour. She looks at the people passing by, because it is almost the Chinese New Year, and she is getting ready.

People carrying New Year's goods in large and small bags came from the New Century Supermarket over there. The mall also hired models to display the latest Korean facial mask in the cold weather. The models were still wearing thin skirts in the harsh winter, standing in a temporary

It was so cold on the stage that my skin got goosebumps, but I put on the sweetest smile on my face and showed the promotional materials in my hand to the audience.

Shu Ran looked at the girls walking on the stage who were not very skilled, and couldn't help but think of herself on the stage that year.

"It's so cold, my God, I'm so cold!" She jumped off the back of the stage and was caught by Nie Zhanyun, who was standing behind with a gloomy look on her face.

"I thought you were so invulnerable that you could still put on such a flawless smile!" Nie Zhanyun said with a bit of sourness. He took off his down jacket and put it directly on her body, wrapping it up and hugging her, and said in a low voice

Voice, "Let's go!"

"I've been standing here for more than an hour and I still haven't paid my salary. Why don't you pay me my salary?"

"How much does it cost per hour?" His brows almost knit together.

She felt a little proud in her heart, took out her hand from the sleeve of her down jacket and shook it, "One hundred and fifty yuan!"

"I'll give you fifteen hundred, come with me!"

"Ah, alas, then at least let me take off my clothes and return them to others, alas, Nie Zhanyun--"

...

Some people say that people who cannot forget the past are because their current life is not good enough and the people they meet are not good enough, so they think of the good things in the past in their minds. She stared at the stage with a smile on her face.

The sweetness of the memories turned bitter.

If the time is not long enough, the new love will not be good enough!

What an ironic statement!

Shu Ran sneered and just turned around to stand up. She had been sitting here for more than an hour, and her legs had already been numb from the cold wind. But when she turned around, she saw the person standing in front of her, and she was surprised for a moment.

I forgot to look away.

Nie Zhanyun didn't know when he stood next to her. He stood in front of her without saying a word. When she turned her face, their eyes met. There was a dark frown in his eyes, and there was a hidden meaning in his tone.

He kept teasing, "Sugar, should I say a belated 'congratulations' to you?"

Shu Ran raised her face, her eyes locked tightly with his. Seeing the gloom flashing in his eyes, she moved her lips and said expressionlessly, "If that's the case, thank you!"

She didn't even say a word of explanation, okay, okay, Shu Ran, this is the cold-blooded you. Sure enough, you forgot the old love when you found a new love. Nie Zhanyun's eyes stirred up a dark storm, and he reached out and grabbed her hand.

She pulled up from her seat.

"What are you doing?" Shu Ran's wrist was squeezed tightly by him, and her heart was shaking with pain. There were still injuries on her wrist!

Nie Zhanyun grabbed her hand, ignoring the strange looks from the people around him, holding her waist with one hand and pressing her body into his arms. The anger that had been accumulated for a long time completely exploded, "This is the birthday you gave me.

Gift? Sugar, if you choose to marry another man on my birthday, can I understand that you are angry with me? "

"I am free to marry whomever I want, Nie Zhanyun. I don't need your consent. Just like you and Tong Yuanyuan, we are mutually exclusive!" Shu Ran showed no weakness and was hugged tightly by Nie Zhanyun. She hated this.

There was a feeling of powerlessness being suppressed by others, but there was a sadness deep in her heart. She actually said that she was the same person as them. Oh, did she even look down on herself?

Nie Zhanyun narrowed his eyes, smiled and moved his face closer, "Sugar, you look so cute when you are jealous!"

madman!

Shu Ran lifted her high heels and stepped on his instep. Nie Zhanyun moved his foot away quickly, but still didn't let go of his hand. The two of them were arguing like a couple having an quarrel. Everyone passing by looked at him.

Looking here, Shu Ran was being held by Nie Zhanyun. His emotions had been relaxed in the previous few meetings and he had never acted in such an extreme way. But this time, Shu Ran felt that he was really angry.

"Nie Zhanyun, what are you thinking?" Shu Ran was a little angry and couldn't help shouting.

Nie Zhanyun hugged her and didn't let go. He felt the struggle of the person in his arms. He squinted his eyes, but his words were more gentle, "Come back to me and break up with that man!" She actually married that man,

Just yesterday, after seeing the news in the newspaper, he was looking for her everywhere like crazy today. He shouldn't have let her go last night, and he shouldn't have let her go when he saw her for the first time back in City D.

She left!

Nie Zhanyun hugged the person in his arms tightly, sugar, no one is more suitable for you than me, I understand you better, and I love you more!

"This is impossible!" Shu Ran was shocked. What did he think of her? He had his Tong Yuanyuan, and he wanted to provoke her, this bastard! The anger in his heart intensified her struggle, and she couldn't do it even with all her strength.

I can't break free from his imprisonment.

"Mr. Nie, I think my dear little wife doesn't like your approach, and I don't like it very much when I see you!" A cool voice came from behind.

The two people who were struggling and confronting each other were stunned for a moment. Shu Ran took advantage of Nie Zhanyun's slightly stunned moment to push his hand away, break free from his arms, and escape from him.

Shang Qingwen stood not far away in a black coat. He looked at Shu Ran who was running away. When he saw him, he stopped in his tracks. Shang Qingwen looked at the little woman who suddenly stopped in front of him.

, the faint smile on his face faded, but the smile lines at the corners of his lips deepened. He walked over, and before Shu Ran could step back, he put his arm around her shoulders and said softly: "Wait for me in the car.

I'll be right away!" After saying that, he handed her the car keys. When she didn't answer, he smiled meaningfully, leaned into her ear and whispered: "If you don't want to be pestered by him, just listen to me!"

Shu Ran took the car key he handed over, and Shang Qingwen whispered to her where the car was parked. The scene of the two whispering was particularly intimate to outsiders, and Shu Ran's ears were touched by him.
