better hold on to that past

Xiao Huaijin didn't speak, picked up the chopsticks and started mixing noodles.She felt a little cold, stuffy, and sad.

From the moment she and Luo Ran met, the two of them can be regarded as friends in Xiao Huaijin's eyes, and he can treat her occasional jokes as naturally as he and Mu Qing, without any conflict or resistance.Thinking of being unable to handle business at the bank because of the absence of the manager that day, she opened a green channel for herself. When she was hurt, she chose to trust herself weakly. For the first time, she also unexpectedly developed feelings that can be called pity. Dealing with a person's injury, and when she was alienated from her, she was at a loss and lost...

The noodles in the bowl are delicious, the noodles are tender and elastic, and they are chewy and delicious.The sauce stimulates the taste buds, and the taste is indescribable.But no matter how delicious the noodles are, there is no way to make up for the coldness in Xiao Huaijin's heart.

"You still aren't going to say anything to me." The declarative sentence couldn't hide the doubt in my heart.

Luo Ran stopped his chopsticks, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip.

"What do you want me to say?" Still as calm as water.

Xiao Huaijin couldn't bear to hear that she still acted so blandly despite her already clear questioning, her voice raised a pitch, obviously really angry.

"Luo Ran, you said, let's get acquainted and make friends. To be honest, I don't reject it, although every time we meet it seems a bit strange. But I still do this, what about you?! Zhao's Bank Vice president, the bitch in the outside world, luxury cars and mansions, and the gunshot wound on your shoulder! Luo Ran, I don't like the feeling that I am in the light and you are in the dark. Don't make me think you are mysterious Some scare me, okay?!" After saying this in one breath, Xiao Huaijin suddenly regretted it, what right did she have to say such words like blame and reprimand, Luo Ran is not who she is, so there is no need to explain anything to herself, angry Blood welled up, and I blamed myself for my impulsiveness.

So without waiting for Luo Ran to reply, he immediately said, "I'm sorry, I'm not in a good mood. You eat slowly, I'll go back first." After finishing speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Xiao Huaijin's heart tightened when her own hand was held by Luo Ran's cool hand.

"Zhao's Bank, the president is Zhao Hanlin. The car, as the vice president, shouldn't lose the economic ability and standard of Zhao's bank. He chose it after Zhao Hanlin asked my opinion. The house is also the vice president. Zhao Hanlin's special preferential treatment when the benefits brought to the bank cannot be measured by money. Gunshot wound... Hehe, I should have thought of it, you are such a professional surgeon... You have treated various patients... I can only say that it was an accident. The vice president, it is because I have a special talent that no one else has. Do you still want to hear me continue..." Luo Ran said rationally and seriously.The last sentence has a somewhat enchanting feeling...

Xiao Huaijin didn't expect Luo Ran to explain her impulsive questions one by one so seriously, and looked at Luo Ran who was holding her in surprise.Seeing her dumbfounded look, Luo Ran found it funny, pulled her back to her seat, and continued talking.

"As for the bitch... If I say it, it's true, what do you think..." Luo Ran's eyes were a little bit prettier, and he looked at Xiao Huaijin with amusement.

"A bitch who only cares about money and power, why would she bring a friend she just met to eat noodles at a noodle restaurant less than [-] square meters in a small alley away from the bustling commercial street? You often come here, The proprietress is very kind to you, and that little girl likes you so much, not only because you are just a beautiful big sister." Xiao Huaijin, who had already let go of her heart, returned to the way she should be, and analyzed it carefully.

After hearing her remarks, Luo Ran leaned forward with his elbows on the table, and approached Xiao Huaijin, his eyes were seductive and tender.

"Xiao Huaijin, you are too smart, it makes me uneasy." After a while, Luo Ran's vermilion lips parted slightly, and a soft voice as if water could be wrung out came to Xiao Huaijin's ears.

"You're not stupid, how did you know that Li Yang is...my blind date? And how did you know that I went back to pick up the car after treating your wound last time?" Xiao Huaijin expressed curiosity.I don't know why, but when it comes to Li Yang, I feel a little bit embarrassed.

"Although he is not a big talker, you should be able to understand that there are only a few people in the unit, and Li Yang can be regarded as a pretty good partner. He told his colleagues who are close to him, so it's no secret. Yes. I just didn't expect that the girl he said to be 'excellent' before would be you." Luo Ran's tone was half joking.

Li Yang... I think there is really no need for us to meet next time. "Excellent quality", do you treat yourself as a commodity?A crow flew by in Xiao Huaijin's heart.

"As for how I knew that time when you went back to pick up the car, keep it for now, and I'll tell you next time I have a chance, it's getting late, let's go." Luo Ran intentionally teased Xiao Huaijin's appetite.

"Yeah." It's rare that he didn't mind Luo Ran's small thoughts, and was about to pay the bill.

"No need, just say hello and go straight away, I know Youyuan very well." Luo Ran stopped Xiao Huaijin and explained.

Xiao Huaijin didn't think too much about it, seeing that she and the proprietress looked very familiar.

"Sister Ran is leaving? Xiao Guo can't bear you... don't go, okay..." Xiao Guo, who was playing with toys, saw that Luo Ran and another big sister were leaving, put down the toys, and jumped into Luo Ran's room again. arms.

"Xiao Guo is good, my sister will come again, next time I will bring you a mango lollipop, okay?" Luo Ran coaxed Xiao Guo patiently.

"Xiao Guo, be good, come to mom and don't make trouble." In a gentle but unquestionable tone.Youyuan stood behind the bar, talking to Xiao Guo.

"Then, Sister Ran must come, Xiao Guo is waiting for you... and friends of Sister Ran are welcome too." Xiao Guo sensiblely stopped acting like a baby in Luo Ran's arms, and slowly walked towards her mother.Don't forget to invite Xiao Huaijin politely.

"Well, yes, Xiao Guo is so cute, I will definitely come next time." Looking at Xiao Guo's cute appearance, Xiao Huaijin patted her head before she walked towards her mother.

Then, he said goodbye to Youyuan.After leaving, Xiao Huaijin was a little puzzled, was it his own illusion?Why does the way Youyuan looks at me give me such a deep feeling... I don't know her, and I haven't seen her anywhere, it must be because this unforgettable little shop tonight is too comfortable, Even the boss lady is so unforgettable...

On the way back, the two of them had a delicate atmosphere. Seeing Xiao Huaijin's face turned from cold at first to gentle and tranquil now, Luo Ran also laughed, and began to tease her again.

"I've told you a lot about me, so you should always reciprocate."

"What do you want to say?" Xiao Huaijin couldn't understand.

"Why did you choose to go on a blind date with Li Yang? You are not a girl in her early twenties. It is impossible for your family to introduce you to this one person." Although Luo Ran looked at the road ahead, his words were so naked that people couldn't help it. Changing the topic, her tone was firm, as if Luo Ran was standing by and watching when her mother scolded herself for introducing several outstanding boys to herself, but she ignored them.

"It's just...uh...he's in good condition, um...he looks good, I think he's pretty good, just..." In one sentence, Xiao Huaijin, who had always been calm and calm, stuttered and seemed a little flustered.

"Really~~~Hehe, it's here." The tone raised intriguingly.It was rare for Luo Ran to continue to embarrass Xiao Huaijin, and returned to that Sichuan restaurant in a blink of an eye.

"It's getting late. It's not a good idea to put your car away, or I'll take you home. Be careful on the road. When you get home, send me a short message..." Suddenly realized that the two hadn't exchanged phone numbers. "Can we exchange phone numbers?" Luo Ran changed his usual smiling face and asked a little cautiously.

"Bring the phone." Xiao Huaijin didn't hesitate, asked for Luo Ran's phone and called her own.

"Be careful, too. I will contact you when I get home. Everything happened suddenly tonight, so I didn't bother to ask you, is your injury better?" The tenderness in Xiao Huaijin's words was real and warm.

"Well, it's almost done. I remember what you said, I didn't eat spicy food, I didn't touch the water, and I didn't drink alcohol." Like a child offering treasures, he talked about how obedient he was.

"Well, that's good, I'll go back first. Be careful." Saying that, she turned and prepared to leave.

But in the next second, he uncontrollably grabbed Xiao Huaijin's arm, and pulled her into his arms fiercely, regardless of whether the sudden intimacy would make Xiao Huaijin feel repulsed, he just hugged her like this.

Xiao Huaijin was a little surprised by such a sudden action, but she didn't reject her, nor did she push Luo Ran away.Her embrace is not as warm and intimate as her mother's, nor as wide and thick as her father's.But inexplicably, Xiao Huaijin felt at ease and moved.She also uncontrollably stretched out her hands and hugged Luo Ran.Neither of them spoke for a long time.

In the end Luo Ran let go of Xiao Huaijin, and the two looked at each other and chuckled.After saying goodbye, they went home.

After returning home, he took the initiative to call Luo Ran and said good night to each other.Lying on the bed after washing, for the first time, Xiao Huaijin felt a bit lonely in such a warm bed.

She was still reminiscing about the hug just now, it was the first time the two got so close to each other, Xiao Huaijin didn't understand why she liked her hug so much, her heart was so moved... But she is obviously a woman... What did she do? The thing is, when Luo Ran let go of himself, he was so greedy and reluctant.Even so, Xiao Huaijin knew very clearly that if Luo Ran were a man, he would not be so greedy to lean in her arms.

Luo Ran... what should I do with you...
