A high-end western restaurant in city D!

"The media is really just picking on rumors, taking facts out of context, misinterpreting facts, exaggerating and boring, isn't it?"

Zhen Nuanyang held the sterilized chopsticks in her hand. She tapped a corner of the newspaper with the other end of the chopsticks and glanced at Shu Ran who was sitting opposite. The chopsticks poked the food on the plate. It looked like

No appetite.

Shu Ran buried her head while eating the food on the plate. When she saw Nuan Yangyang eating Western food with chopsticks in her hand, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked, "Have you been like this in the United States these years?" Do you still use your own chopsticks to eat Western food?

"I always remind myself not to forget the most quintessential Chinese chopsticks!" Nuan Yangyang said, clenching the chopsticks in his hands with a 'clack-clack' sound, not minding the strange looks from the diners sitting next to him, like

Just now she added a special request when ordering, asking for the steak to be cut into slices, similar to the width, length and thickness of garlic white meat, a famous dish in China. The waiter's lips twitched when she heard it!

"Why don't you add another one? How many degrees can the oil temperature not exceed?" Shu Ran picked up a small piece with a knife and fork and put it into his mouth. He glanced at Zhen Nuanyang, with a look in his eyes that made you feel like you have always been the best in your life.

This is it, it’s hopeless!

Zhen Nuanyang replied disapprovingly, "It's just an occupational disease. Just like you, when I see a grave, I think about digging it for treasures. When I see someone wearing jade ornaments on their wrists and neck, I wonder whether it is real or fake.

How valuable is the quality of the Dynasty products? Is there any room for appreciation in the next few years? These are all conditioned reflexes!"

Zhen Nuanyang said it was a matter of course. Seeing that Shu Ran was eating the steak on the plate with a good appetite, he put down the chopsticks in his hands, wiped his hands with a wet paper towel and asked: "There is a sentence that I have been holding back from that night until now.

Now I want to ask you, don’t beat around the bush, just express it simply and clearly!”

Shu Ran raised his face and glanced at her. Her warm way of speaking was unambiguous at all. It was a miracle that she had been able to hold back the question she wanted to ask from that night until now!

"Ask, I'll answer!" Shu Ran put down her knife and fork, knowing that if she didn't answer, this stubborn guy wouldn't let her go so easily.

"How long have Lin Xuejing and Si Lan been together?"

Shu Ran was stunned for a moment. She originally thought Zhen Nuanyang would ask her about her personal affairs, but she didn't expect that she would actually ask Lin Xuejing.

"I really don't know that!" Shu Ran said, feeling a little guilty. That night when she was drinking by the river, Shu Ran found out that Lin Xuejing had really been with Si Lan. But as for when it happened, she really didn't know.

I know, she suddenly thought that she paid too little attention to her friends, and she never liked to get involved in her friends' personal affairs, so she found out so late!

Zhen Nuanyang stopped talking. He took out a photo from his handbag and handed it to Shu Ran. The background of the photo was at night, but the angle and picture were very clear. The picture showed Lin Xuejing getting out of the Porsche car.

, although it was just a back figure, Shu Ran, who was familiar with it, still recognized it at a glance.

Shu Ran took the photo and asked, "Is there any problem?" She didn't quite understand what Nuan Yangyang meant when he showed her this photo!

Nuan Yangyang stretched out her hand to adjust the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said calmly: "Ye Qingai was my classmate when I was a graduate student in the United States. She gave me this photo!"

Shu Ran understood immediately and put the photo on the table. This was not a drama in many rich families' love affairs, even though the other party's handling method was very low-key.

At the end of last month, Si Lan and Miss Ye completed their engagement ceremony!

From her own point of view, Shu Ran felt that she had no right to interfere in her friend's private life. She just felt sorry for her friend in her heart, empathizing with her friend's inner pain and feeling very helpless about the reality of the situation.

Support? Let your friends do the shady underground work? What’s more, it has been exposed to the light now!

Objection? Everyone’s emotions are free. How can you dominate other people’s thinking and other people’s decisions?

The meal became boring because of the topic of Lin Xuejing. Nuan Yangyang said that Lin Xuejing was so drunk that night that she cried all the way back. That way Nuan Yangyang couldn't send her home, so she had to take Lin Xuejing with her.

Went to where she lived.

"Love nourishes women, but it also hurts women. Just like a dose of opium, a woman's slow warmth causes the drug to penetrate silently, slowly creating dependence, and finally she cannot quit it at all.

!" Zhen Nuanyang finished speaking slowly and glanced at the other side, "Shu Ran, since you can't quit, why don't you stay confused like this?"

You obviously love deeply and painfully, but you persist so stubbornly!

Shu Ran lowered her eyes. The warm afternoon sun filtering in from the window made her eyes reflect a little, making it difficult to open her eyes.

"Once in high school we read a sentence in a book, we left because of love! At that time we were talking about how you should not leave now that you are in love. Only today do I realize that when you really come to

Only at this step will you understand the profound meaning of this sentence. Because you are demanding perfection, you can't tolerate a grain of sand in your eyes. Upright tolerance will make you more painful, so why force yourself to accept it!"

Zhen Nuanyang fell silent after hearing what she said. Shu Ran picked up the cup and took a sip of juice, "I have to go to the hospital to check on Zhan Bai's condition!"

After Shu Ran finished speaking, she put down the empty cup. Knowing that Zhen Nuanyang was going to do something, she stood up and waved to leave first. Zhen Nuanyang looked at her back as she left quickly, sighed slightly, and the chopsticks in her hand made a crunching sound.

Leaving Nie Zhanbai behind is a thorn in the thorn.

As soon as Shu Ran saw Zhan Bai in the hospital bed, she thought of your mother who jumped off the building to her death!

Nie Zhanyun, why don’t you make it easy for others even though everyone is dead?

－－－－－－－Gorgeous dividing line－－－－－－－－－－－

Nie Zhanbai's treatment plan has been formulated, and the attending doctor has also talked to Shu Ran twice to make a series of humanized modifications. Naturally, he also discussed the expected effect, although this hope seems slim.

After Shu Ran relaxed Zhan Bai's muscles, he was already sweating from exhaustion. The nurse next to him was also helping, massaging some of Nie Zhan Bai's secret parts. Although Zhan Bai was thin, he had quite a big frame.

, so it still takes a lot of effort to help turn over and move!

The body muscle relaxation twice a day, coupled with the flexibility training of the limbs, are all things Shu Ran has carefully learned under the doctor's explanation. Although it seems easy, it is not easy to insist on completing the whole set every day.

"Ms. Shu, please rest for a while! It's still quite tiring after this!" The nurse is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He has received professional nursing training and was recommended by the attending doctor. He is a dedicated person!

Shu Ran was lifting her sleeves and rubbing Zhan Bai's atrophied arm muscles. The protruding joints made her palms hurt. She smiled when she heard the nurse's caring words, "It's okay, I can still hold on!"

During this period, she ran to the hospital early every morning. First, she checked Zhan Bai's physical condition, and then did muscle relaxation exercises for him. If there were classes, she would run back to take a shower after finishing her work at the hospital, and then go directly to school.

Sometimes I am too busy with the first class in the morning, so I ask Shu Tongya to come over and take care of me. She will bring a book here in the afternoon when there is no class, sit on the airy balcony, drink tea and read!

Days like this lasted for a week, and her daily work life gradually became regular. Shu Ran occasionally received invitations from Professor Wen to work part-time at the research institute, but she did not dare to leave other places, and she stayed there for more than half a month.

Once she leaves, who will take care of Zhan Bai?

Grandma and grandpa felt sorry for her and suggested that they take care of Zhan Bai, but Shu Ran thought that they were in their seventies after all, so it would be better for her to take care of others!

"Does Miss Shu have classes this afternoon?" the nurse asked with a smile, looking at the novel Shu Ran placed on the sofa where she was sitting alone.

Shu Ran nodded. She had two classes in the morning, so she was already quite tired. She stood on the podium for nearly two hours. She was so tired that her bones and joints were weak. Fortunately, there was no class in the afternoon, so she could take a rest!

Shu Ran was about to get a basin of water and come over to wipe her hands when she saw someone standing at the door of the ward. He was wearing a black suit, a sharp-edged man with an excellent temperament but extremely sharp eyes, and his assistant was standing next to him.

Shu Ran did not go to fetch water anymore, but pulled down her sleeves. When she walked to the door, she heard a voice that was almost mocking and indifferent.

"You can be so embarrassed about that one, but you are particularly concerned about this one!" Shao Zhaomo said and glanced at the unconscious man on the bed, then turned his eyes to Shu Ran and said indifferently, "Shu Ran

However, you are still really sad!"

Shu Ran listened to Shao Zhaomo's cynicism, stood in front of him and accepted his strange gaze. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Are you here to get me something? Give it to me!" Shu Ran

As he said that, he had already stretched out his hand, waiting for Shao Zhaomo to give it to her!

Shao Zhaomo chuckled, "So impatient?" After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said in a calm tone: "He has already signed it, and the thing is there. If you want it, go get it yourself!

"

After Shao Zhaomo left, Shu Ran stood at the door of the ward, with the words that Shao Zhaomo said when he finally left still ringing in his ears. After a while, he raised his face.

He signed it!

When the big stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground, I felt sad for no reason.

Wasn't this the moment she was waiting for? But at this moment, her heart became empty!

In the evening, there was still a gathering of three people. People say that the most important thing for people who are not in love is time. Zhen Nuanyang's appeal is still the same. She has dinner three times a week and never misses each time. She also chooses a specific private club to open this one.

The owner of the private club is one of her childhood friends, and he knows all the preferences of this woman Zhen Nuanyang, so she likes her. However, every time Nuanyang goes to eat, he will be prepared to vomit blood in advance.

The last time I drank too much here, Shu Ran found that her drinking ability was getting better and better. In the past, she would get so drunk that she would get dizzy after just a few drinks. But that time, after soaking in the river for a night, her drinking ability got better.

.

"Hey, that's enough!" Shu Ran reached out and blocked the rim of her goblet. Red wine was wine, and she didn't plan to drink tonight!

"I'll take a sip anyway!" The mouth of the wine bottle in Zhen Nuanyang's hand passed over the back of Shu Ran's hand, and he opportunistically poured half a cup for her.

Lin Xuejing suffered stomach bleeding from drinking a while ago. She was in the recuperation stage and was recently ordered to rest at home by Wei's mother. Today, it was Shu Ran who called Shu Ran to get her back to freedom. However, when she heard about drinking, she shook her head and directly drank the food in front of her.

Putting the wine glass aside, he buried his head in eating the fresh fruit on the plate.

In Lin Xuejing's words, it is a bloody lesson. If you can't drink it, you really can't drink it!

Shu Ran lamented that as long as Zhen Nuanyang is in City D and as long as she doesn't have a boyfriend, days like this will continue over and over again, and she won't move because other places are too dirty for her!

Several of the specialty dishes are made by Nuan Yang's best friend, who is male and the owner of this club.

At this moment, Shu Ran looked at the two women lying next to the open kitchen and watching a grown man cooking. Shu Ran felt a little uncomfortable.

"I feel that men who can cook are very attractive!" Nuan Yangyang held up a red wine glass in his hand and smiled at his friend. He found that Shu Ran, who was sitting over there, had a very calm face, unlike Lin Xuejing, who was gibbering and startled.

He leaned over and touched Shu Ran's arm, "Hey, how are you? What do you think?"

What, how about what?

Shu Ran was stunned for a moment. Looking at his friend's raised eyebrows, he suddenly frowned because he had been led on several blind dates by Shu Tongya before, especially when Uncle Qin was also there.

, the blind date with the men from Uncle Qin's company was still fresh in her memory, and Nuanyang's actions of raising her eyebrows and winking immediately made her spit out the orange juice she had swallowed in her throat.

Shu Ran naturally ate less for dinner, but the meal didn't last long. She finally walked out of the room. Shu Ran glared at Nuan Yangyang who was following behind her. No matter what the situation, her ideas were all over her.

Already?

She really didn't know anything about it beforehand. Today, Nuan Yangyang reminded her in particular, and then she realized belatedly that her male best friend did look at her a little strangely.

Zhen Nuanyang couldn't help but touch her nose because of Shu Ran's cold eyes. Lin Xuejing felt Shu Ran's gaze and reached out to touch her forehead. She took the opportunity to glare at Nuanyang and said everything.
