willing to be wrong for you

Chapter 11 So Close, So Far 11
On the premise that Zhan Lan gave the driver an extra 100 yuan, the driver ran through three red lights in a row, cutting the four to 10-minute drive time by half.

Half an hour later, Zhanlan had already boarded the train leaving Dongcheng.

It wasn't until the train started that Zhan Lan breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and looked, her palms were already covered with sweat at some point.

The car she was riding in was the oldest kind of iron train. When the train ran over the rails, it would vibrate quite a bit, making people very uncomfortable.The carriage is filled with various smells, occasionally mixed with various dialects, and the sound of children crying, while Zhanlan, sitting by the window and looking out the window, maintains this posture with one hand on her chin For a long time, it was as if she was completely immersed in another world, completely undisturbed by anyone.

After getting off the train, she went to the cemetery first, stood for a while in front of a stele without writing, and put down a few wild flowers that she picked casually.

Then, he took a taxi to a two-story building on the outskirts of the city.

This is a very old house, and the paint on the walls has peeled off a lot, revealing the color of the bricks and tiles inside.Other nearby houses are rarely inhabited, and most of them have demolished half or beams to prevent homeless people from occupying the land here.

He knocked lightly on the door, and soon there was a sound of footsteps, and the iron door was unlocked with a 'click', revealing the face of a middle-aged woman.

Zhanlan smiled slightly.

Seeing the person coming, the woman was surprised at first, and then smiled: "Ah, Xiao Nian is back!"

The woman opened the door, let Zhanlan in, and helped Zhanlan carry her luggage by the way.

Zhan Lan walked inside and asked, "Mama Liu, is Auntie here?"

"Here, it's cloudy and rainy these days, and you know that her legs are not good, so you stay in the room all the time."

Push open the door, and there is a narrow staircase on the left.

Stepping up the stairs, and pushing open the door of a bedroom, Zhanlan looked at the wicker chair by the balcony.

When the person sitting on the wicker chair heard the voice, he turned his head slowly, and when he saw Zhanlan, a look of surprise quickly crossed his face, but this emotion did not last for too long.

Zhanlan took a few steps into the room and closed the door behind her.

"Auntie." She called softly.

Ye Min responded blankly, and asked, "Why are you back?"

Zhan Lan has long been accustomed to Ye Min's reaction, pursed her lips, and stood still: "The company is on holiday, so come back and have a look. The weather is cloudy and sunny recently. I heard Mama Liu say that your legs..."

"My legs are not your concern, understand?" Ye Min interrupted Zhan Lan seriously.

The corners of the blue eyebrows were tinged with a little disappointment, and all the words of concern were blocked in his chest, unable to speak out.

Seeing her like this, Ye Min also knew that his tone was too hasty: "Forget it, I've already returned, so it's useless to talk about it. Ask Liu Ma to make your favorite bitter gourd meat balls at night. It's been a long time since I ate them. "

Hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Zhan Lan's face, and he nodded: "I'm really greedy."

Ye Min also laughed, but the lines of laughter were not deep: "Mama Liu knows all your favorite dishes, let Mama Liu go shopping later, and let's have dinner earlier in the evening."

"Hmm." Zhan Lan nodded with a smile.

Sure enough, Mama Liu knew Zhan Lan's favorite tastes very well, and she cooked a table full of dishes, all of which were her favorites.

"Xiao Nian, this was your favorite food before. I haven't made it for a long time after you left. Try it and see if Mama Liu's cooking skills have deteriorated." Mama Liu picked up a piece of meatball for Zhan Lan.

Zhan Lan took a bite and wrinkled the tip of her nose rather childishly.

Mama Liu was a little nervous: "What's the matter, it's hard to eat?"

Zhanlan glanced at Mama Liu, then smiled slowly: "It's so delicious, it's even better than the abalone and shark's fin I've ever eaten!"

"You kid, you scared me to death!" Mama Liu scolded lightly with a smile, and put a lot of them into the blue bowl: "Then eat more, those abalone and shark's fins are not so delicious, in fact, they are not as nutritious as these. "

Zhanlan really doesn't like to eat those things, mainly because the dishes in the restaurant lack the human touch of the family cooking, so they also find it unpalatable.It's just that Feng Tianjuan has a good taste, so for these home-cooked dishes...

Realizing that she had thought of someone she shouldn't have thought of, Zhan Lan's heart sank, and the ease of joking just now disappeared without a trace, and her expression changed slightly.

Mama Liu was careless and careless, she only cared about adding vegetables to Zhanlan, but Ye Min who was on the side looked at her and thought about it.

After dinner, Mama Liu cleaned up in the dining room, and Zhanlan made Ye Min's favorite rose tea, and brought it to Ye Min's bedroom.

Pushing open the door, Ye Min wiped the photos hanging on the wall as usual.

In most of the photos, you can see the appearance of Ye Min when she was young. She is a very beautiful woman with long black hair flowing vertically on her shoulders. She loves the fire red dress with a pearl necklace and bright lipstick. , even in that era, she was a woman enough to make all men fall in love with her.

Until now, Ye Min's charm is still there, but the charm and enchantment of the past are no longer there, and there are more vicissitudes on his face.

Zhanlan knew that Ye Min didn't like to be disturbed when she wiped these photos, so she quickly put the rose tea on the coffee table and wanted to leave.

"Xiao Nian." Suddenly, Ye Min called her name.

Zhan Lan stopped, turned around, and looked at Ye Min.

Ye Min's gaze stayed on a certain photo, which was a photo of her and a man, and it was also one of Ye Min's most cherished photos.

Her fingers slowly caressed the man in the photo, lingering.

"Are you still used to being there?" Ye Min asked.

Zhan Lan's eyes also stayed on the photo under Ye Min's hand, looked at it for a while, and then shifted his gaze to Ye Min's face: "There is nothing unaccustomed to it, it's all about life, it's the same everywhere."

Ye Min paused his fingers slightly, and turned his head: "Are you blaming me for leaving you there alone to face so many ugly and evil things?"

Zhan Lan narrowed her eyes, but did not answer.

Ye Min sighed lightly.

Zhanlan was still not willing to let Ye Min blame herself, and tried her best to pull out a relaxed smile: "No, Auntie, I know you are doing it for my own good, for my... father's good."

"It's good that you know." Ye Min slowed down and asked, "When do you plan to go back?"

Zhanlan looked at Ye Min: "When does Auntie want me to leave?"

But Ye Min didn't see the hope in her eyes, or maybe she saw it, but she just turned a blind eye.

Ye Min's eyes fell back on the face of the handsome man standing beside her in the photo, but his tone was very calm: "The sooner the better, you also know that the longer you stay here, the easier it is for people to find out."

Zhan Lan lowered her eyes: "Okay, I understand. I will leave as soon as possible."

Coming out of Ye Min's room and closing the door, Zhanlan leaned against the wall, staring at the roof with peeling off the wall in a daze.

At some point, Mama Liu stood beside her, put her hands on her shoulders, and comforted her softly: "Xiao Nian, I know you have had a hard time, but don't blame your auntie. She loves you too."

Zhanlan smiled wryly: "Really, Mama Liu."

Mama Liu was a little sad, and didn't know how to comfort the lost girl in front of her.

I had no choice but to gently embrace Zhanlan's shoulders, hugging her like a mother, Zhanlan buried her head in Mama Liu's arms obediently, and after a long time, said in a muffled voice: "Mama Liu, if you are my How nice mother should be."

Because of this sentence, Mama Liu's eyes also turned red.

Early the next morning, Zhanlan went to a hotel in the town and checked in with the new ID card that Zhou Xinya had found someone to make for her.

"How many days do you need to stay?" asked the front desk lady.

Zhan Lan said: "Two days." Maybe in a shorter time, she will leave.

"Okay. Credit card or cash."

She took out a wad of cash from her wallet, but after a moment her hands paused slightly, she bit her lip in deep thought, and finally put the money back into her wallet, and then took out the bank card that Zhou Xinya gave her before: "Swipe the card, thank you."

Check-in in such a small place was very simple, and soon, Zhanlan moved into the assigned room.

A place of about ten square meters, with poor lighting, a bed, a bathroom, and a TV.

But it was enough for her to stay overnight alone.

Not in the mood to watch TV, Zhan Lan took out the thick book of justice from her luggage.This is also the only thing she brought out from Zhijing Garden.

Unknowingly reading the book, I saw the night, the waiter came to ask if I would like to eat in the room, Zhan Lan thought the service was really good, but she didn’t want to eat anything, shook her head, and finally ordered a bottle which was very cheap I don't know what brand of red wine it is.

She is not good at drinking, after the last time she and Feng Tianjuan met Su Weixin in the clubhouse and got drunk, she has been very careful not to touch any alcoholic beverages.

But today, she wants to get drunk.

After drinking half a bottle, she realized that the alcohol content of this thing was not high, but it had a lot of stamina. In the second half of the night, she had a headache and couldn't sleep. She just kept her eyes open and waited for the dawn.

Sitting on the window sill, looking at the rising sun from the gap between the buildings, seeing that ray of light tearing through the darkness and reflecting through the sky, it is even more enjoyable.

Zhan Lan didn't come down from the window sill until the headache from being blown by the wind got worse.

After washing off the smell of alcohol, she picked out a clean dress and changed into it.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door.

Zhan Lan looked at the clock on the wall, it was 45:[-].

Usually at this time, the waiters of the hotel would not knock on the guest's door casually, and they would not be so rude.

She had a vague premonition, knowing who would be standing behind this door, but Zhan Lan still asked, "Who is outside?"

Of course, the other party did not answer.

She took a deep breath, looked at the door for a while, and walked slowly to open the door.

The door just opened a small crack, and the visitor pushed it impatiently, and Zhan Lan took a step back by the force.

In front of his eyes, Sheng Kai's handsome face appeared.

He looked at Zhanlan triumphantly, and said, "Huishui, you made it easy for me to find it!"

Seeing Sheng Kai, Zhan Lan's expression was very calm, as if she wasn't surprised at all.

She just looked at him silently for two seconds, then turned around and walked into the room as if he didn't exist.

Suddenly, Sheng Kai grabbed her arm and pulled her back in time.

Zhanlan frowned, and looked up at him coldly.Embarrassment flashed across Sheng Kai's eyes, as if it was difficult to say what he said next: "Umm... Third brother can't get away, so he asked me to drive you back."

"I don't want to go back." Zhan Lan said word by word, "I don't even want to go back with you."

"You..." Sheng Kai curled his lips, with a suspicious flush on the base of his ears, took a few deep breaths, and said, "I'm sorry, can't you, it was all mine before, you old man, please forgive me a lot. If I I can't take you back this time, the third brother said that I don't want to go back at all, let me follow you all the time. Please, okay?"

Feng Tianjuan had just come out, he had a backlog of things to do, and he really couldn't get away.But he didn't let Chi Hao come to pick up Zhanlan, but let Sheng Kai come over, making it clear that he wanted him to take the opportunity of being alone with Zhanlan to get her forgiveness.

It seems that after this time, it is impossible for the third brother to let go of this woman again.The third brother hopes that the people around him who he cares about and trust can get along together without any grievances, so he wants him to have a good relationship with Zhanlan.But he doesn't hate Zhanlan as much as before, especially after knowing that Zhanlan went to the police station to rescue the third brother in the end.

Zhanlan didn't want to pay attention to him, she threw off his restraint, and Sheng Kai didn't grab her very hard, because he was afraid of hurting her, he turned around and complained to Feng Tianjun.

Seeing Zhan Lan walking inside, Sheng Kai followed closely behind: "Huishui, you can go back with me. If you don't go back with me this time, the third brother will also send Chi Hao."

Zhanlan sat by the bed and packed up the few books she had slumped on the bed.

Sheng Kai still persuaded unwillingly: "If you don't go back with Chi Hao, the third brother will come and arrest you himself. You know, the third brother is not as patient as I am..."

Zhan Lan finally raised her head and glanced at Sheng Kai.

Sheng Kai was terrified by her: "Well, the third brother is a little more patient than me, but you can't pluck the hair from the tiger's mouth, the third brother..."

"it is good."

Sheng Kai was still talking about something, and after talking for a while, he finally settled down, and looked at Zhanlan in surprise: "What did you just say?"

Zhanlan stopped talking.

Sheng Kai rolled his eyes, showing a foolish smirk: "Come on, I heard it, you said 'yes'. Anyway, you promised, you must follow me after packing!"

This time Sheng Kai came here alone, maybe he didn't want his subordinates to see him bowing down to her.On the way, Sheng Kai drove the car a little faster, and it was obvious that he was eager to return, wishing to run to his third brother immediately.Zhan Lan sat in the co-pilot and was silent all the way, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

Sheng Kai would turn his head to look at Zhanlan from time to time, hesitating to speak.It's not that Zhan Lan didn't feel it, it's just that she didn't bother to pay attention to it, and was even more curious about how long Sheng Kai would hold back.

However, it didn't take long before Sheng Kai finally said, "Hey, Huoshui, I heard that you went to Deputy Director Zhang with evidence alone to stand up for the third brother. I didn't realize that, but you are quite brave. But Don't you care about being with Third Brother, why do you still help us?"

Zhanlan turned her head slowly, glanced at Sheng Kai, did not answer, but asked: "How did Feng Tianjuan tell you to take me back?"

Sheng Kai was stunned, and said sadly: "I said I must bring Jiang Zhanlan back, otherwise I have two choices, one is to follow you and don't have to go back, the other is to break one leg and climb back. Both legs will be broken." Don't let me go back by car, third brother is really cruel."

In the last few sentences, the volume of natural speaking is getting lower and lower.

The corners of Zhan Lan's lips hooked lightly, it really sounded like Feng Tianjuan's tone.

But Feng Tianjuan was only trying to scare Sheng Kai, and only Sheng Kai really thought about the possibility of 'breaking a leg and crawling back'.

When Sheng Kai has no prejudice against you, he is actually a chatty person.Along the way, a person chattered non-stop, but Zhan Lan barely listened.

Later, Sheng Kai, who had thick lines, also noticed something was wrong: "Huishui, why do you look so bad?"

Zhan Lan pinched the center of her eyebrows, resisted the churning in her stomach, and lowered the car window, with the wind blowing on her face, she breathed greedily.

The wind blew through the long blue hair, Sheng Kai smelled a very faint smell of wine, and frowned and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

She nodded, "Yeah."

"How much did you drink?"

"Half a bottle of red wine."

"What?" If someone else had half a bottle of red wine, it wouldn't be a big deal, but he still had some impressions of Zhan Lan's drunkenness last time. This woman drinks very lightly, and she can get drunk even if she doesn't drink, but she is not a worry-free master.

"You don't know how to vomit, do you?" Sheng Kai's face turned pale, this car was a new model specially bought to celebrate the clearing of the third brother's suspicion.

Suddenly, Zhan Lan patted Sheng Kai's seat: "Stop the car!"

Sheng Kai didn't care whether the car could be parked or not, and immediately stepped on the brakes. Zhan Lan opened the car door and quickly ran to the nearby grass.

After vomiting, he felt better, rinsed his mouth with the water Sheng Kai handed over, and barely stood up.

But maybe it was because she stood a little too hard, suddenly her eyes went dark, and she fell forward.

Simply, at the last second, a powerful arm pulled her back into his arms.

Sheng Kai was a little impatient: "How is it? Are you feeling better? You women are delicate, and you will have so many problems when you ride a car."

Zhanlan ignored his complaints, and called weakly: "Sheng Kai."

"Why?" His tone was very aggressive.

"I'm so dizzy, let me lean on for a while."

"Oh."

It was rare for Sheng Kai to be patient and let Zhanlan put his head on his chest. There were cars passing by on the road from time to time, and he didn't know if those people saw the ambiguous posture between him and Zhanlan.

His ears were red, he pushed Zhanlan's shoulder: "Hey, are you okay?"

She didn't answer.

Sheng Kai lifted her shoulders and lowered his head, only to find that Zhan Lan had fallen asleep just like that, her long eyelashes cast a shadow in the sun, and her face was surprisingly small, only then did he realize that she seemed to be more beautiful than before. After a while, he lost a lot of weight, and his slender collarbone was clearly visible.

"Woman, it's really troublesome." I couldn't help repeating, but still gently picked her up by the waist, and put her carefully into the back seat of the car.

Zhan Lan's consciousness was confused, she couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream, but she could vaguely feel that the car drove for a while, and then turned a corner.

This distance should be less than Dongcheng.

She felt that Sheng Kai picked her up, walked for a while, and then heard the voices of strangers, they spoke in a low voice, and couldn't hear a few words, but Sheng Kai's loud voice still gave her a headache.

"This house is also a high-end suite. The small one is like a hospital bed. Is there a bigger one? Are there three bedrooms and one living room?"

Zhan Lan heard the man's aggrieved explanation: "Sir, we are an inn, not a big hotel. There is no such thing as three bedrooms and one living room in the wilderness. Can you make do with one night and stay here first?"

Sheng Kai didn't know what to say again, he clearly disliked it, indeed, a young master like him has never lived in such a place.

But Zhanlan couldn't stand the trouble anymore, she moved uncomfortably in his arms, attracting Sheng Kai's attention, Sheng Kai endured it, and finally paid the money and went through the check-in procedures.

Can be regarded as lying on the bed, Zhanlan just didn't care about anything, and slept in the dark first, and seemed to hear Sheng Kai calling while half asleep, "Hua Shui is uncomfortable, I vomited on the road... No, no, I really didn't provoke her. On the way, I almost missed being a grandma... Ah, I didn't call a doctor... What? But third brother, you have a lot of things to deal with over there, just leave the disaster to me... But..."

What Sheng Kai said again, Zhan Lan no longer had the energy to listen any longer, curled up her lips, and continued to sleep beautifully.

I don't know how long I slept again, half asleep and half awake, I seemed to hear someone talking.

"I really didn't provoke her. It was she who sat in the car and asked me to stop suddenly. Then she vomited as soon as I got out of the car. I didn't get mad at her at all, third brother!" This voice, I knew it was Sheng Kai.

Then, there was silence for a long time.

Until a deliberately low voice sounded: "How long has she been asleep?"

"I've been sleeping since noon until now." Sheng Kai answered honestly.

The man pondered for a while, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little far away, and he seemed to turn around: "Doctor Xu, can you check it?"

"Check what? Didn't Sheng Kai say it was motion sickness? Prescribe some medicine and just take it after waking up. It's nothing serious."

Hearing that person's voice, Zhan Lan became a little sober. She didn't expect that he would come. Didn't Sheng Kai say that he couldn't get away because of something, did he lie to her?But why did he rush over here? Why is Dr. Xu here?

I really don't understand him.

Feng Tianjuan didn't speak any more.

Doctor Xu has known him for many years, so he understands his thoughts.Thinking of Feng Tianjuan's thoughts, Dr. Xu raised his eyebrows, and asked in disbelief: "You won't let me check Miss Jiang...is she pregnant?"
