Phoenix pattern in a different world

Wanting to caress the person in the painting, but afraid of damaging it, he raised and lowered his hand, and then raised and lowered it, which was a bit funny in the end.

Seeing that his expression was different, Jiang Jue stepped forward, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and said: "I have so many things, and I can give you countless things, but there are very few things that can make you admire. I don't know if the painting today can catch your eyes?"

As soon as Jiang Jue finished speaking, Li Ran laughed, for real. He was silent for a moment, and only said two words - thank you.

Such a simple word, to Jiang Jue, was like rain and dew, which cheered up his already tired heart.

Li Ran caressed the faces of the two people in the painting, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Jiang Jue accompanied him thoughtfully, Li Ran stared at the portrait intently, while he stared at the other party, his emotions fluctuated with the expression on the other party's face.

But the gloomy look on Li Ran's face did not escape his sight after all.

At that moment, he wanted to hold the other party in his arms, comfort him with soft words, and heal the pain in his heart.

However, he did not do so.

This time, he chose to restrain his desires, thereby fulfilling the dignity of the other party.

After Li Ran came back to his senses, he collected his emotions, filled the teacups in front of each other, raised his glasses to Jiang Jue, and said with a smile: "I will replace wine with tea, thank you for your great gift!"

Jiang Jue stared at the other party with a deep smile on his face, raised his teacup, and said, "I have won a vanguard battalion commander for nothing, and I should be the one to thank you! This painting will be counted as a congratulatory gift for your first appointment as commander, how about it?"

The other party spoke very earnestly, and Li Ran couldn't refuse, so he nodded with a smile, drank the tea in the cup, and said, "Since it's an appointment gift from His Majesty, then I won't be polite."

Jiang Jue laughed and said, "Xiao Ran, this is the first time I've heard you call me that."

Li Ran refilled his cup of tea and said, "Why? Do you like this name?"

Jiang Jue waved his hand as if laughing, and said, "Forgive me, I'm really not used to being called by you like this. It's better to call me by my name as before."

Li Ran raised his glass to signal to the other party, and said with a smile: "You said that."

As he spoke, he met Jiang Jue's gaze, glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled.

Tonight's Feng Gong, the two of them are extremely harmonious, the usual precautions and suspicions are no longer there, but there is more sincerity and understanding.

"Tell me about your past."

Jiang Jue turned his gaze to the painting, and Li Ran followed his gaze, seemingly falling silent.

Jiang Jue thought that the other party didn't want to bring it up, and was about to change the subject, but Li Ran said quietly: "I was born in a slum in Chicago, and my parents were both stowaways from the mainland. When I was nine years old, my father had a car accident I died, and my family had no source of income, so I could only rely on my mother as a servant to make ends meet. When I was 13 years old, I joined a small local gang, and then I struggled all the way here. I was in my early years and was about to marry my girlfriend, but during a transaction, my brother stabbed me in the dark. The other shot me in the chest. I thought I would die, but when I woke up again, it was time Here. You know what happened after this, so there's no need to talk about it."

This is almost the time that Li Ran has spoken the most.

Although Jiang Jue didn't understand some words, Jiang Jue could understand the meaning of the other party's words.

Li Ran had suffered, Jiang Jue had guessed this early on.

It's just that Li Ran's first half of his life was so troubled, which was beyond his expectation.

From this point of view, there is indeed a reason why the opponent has such a deep defense.

After Jiang Jue understood it, his heart felt a tingling pain.

Li Ran glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Hey, what kind of eyes are you looking at? Are you sympathizing with me?"

Jiang Jue looked over with a smile but said nothing, Li Ran gave him a sly look, and said, "If I knew this earlier, I really shouldn't talk so much."

Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Jiang Jue changed the topic. He asked, "What do you mean by that girlfriend and marriage?"

Li Ran frowned and said, "Your question really stumps me."

He was scratching his head thinking how to explain to the other party, but Jiang Jue stared at him leisurely, with no intention of urging him at all.

Li Ran thought for a moment, then said: "The meaning of marriage is that two people will live together from now on, like a family. The girlfriend I'm talking about is the object of marriage."

Jiang Jue's phoenix eyes narrowed, he could have heard some clues, but the other party's face was calm, he didn't care about it, let alone there was no need to care about it.

All in all, that so-called "girlfriend" was a thing of the past, so there was no need for him to worry about someone who didn't exist.

"But getting married means getting married."

Jiang Jue spoke casually while playing with the teacup in his hand.

Li Ran nodded, and Jiang Jue saw that there was some longing in his eyes, and there was a glint in his eyes, and said: "Actually, your mother is really amazing! The pain of losing a husband is unbearable for any woman." However, even though she felt pain in her heart, she still took on the important task of taking care of you two, and raised you and your younger sister. A woman who can do this has to be admired."

Seeing that the other party spoke sincerely, Li Ran nodded in agreement. Jiang Jue seemed to remember something, and asked, "By the way, since you can draw the two of them on paper, can you also draw your former appearance?" Come out and let me see?"

Li Ran stared at him for a moment, then shook his head as if laughing, and said, "Isn't it the same if you look at it or not? The appearance has changed, but the consciousness is always mine. Could it be that if the body changes, I am not me anymore?"

He spoke like a tongue twister, but Jiang Jue looked over with a look of enlightenment on his face, and said: "It is true, I am confused. The external appearance of a person is just an empty skin, just like my love. It will be Li Ran, not Li Ran."

Li Ran didn't scoff at the affectionate look on the other side's face this time.

Jiang Jue's true feelings, if he can't feel it for this sake, he is deceiving himself.

However, love has always been a matter for both parties. It is not that the other party likes it, so you must give something in return.

And Li Ran knew very well that at this time, he didn't have that strange feeling for Jiang Jue.

Perhaps it was because facing the portraits of his relatives that his heart became surprisingly soft, or perhaps it was Jiang Jue's true feelings that really moved him a little.

This time, facing Jiang Jue's affectionate confession, Li Ran remained silent and did not refute.For Jiang Jue, such a reaction was as good as it could be.

Then, he smiled heartily, and Li Ran gave him a look with a broken smile, speechless on his face.

"By the way, what exactly is that Chicago you just mentioned?"

At this time, Jiang Jue was like an ignorant child, and the light in his eyes full of endless curiosity about unknown things made Li Ran laugh and shake his head frequently.

He smiled and poured a cup of tea for the other party, and said, "Chicago is not a thing, but a city, just like Luocheng."

Jiang Jue nodded with clarity, pondered for a moment, and asked again: "But compared to my Luo City, which one do you think is better?"

The other party looked at him expectantly, and Li Ran was not good at attacking this man, so he replied: "Actually, this thing is not easy to compare. There are things in Chicago that are not available in Luocheng, but there are things in Luocheng that are available in Chicago." It may not be possible to find it either. So I don’t know how to answer this question for you.”

"Xiaoran, it's too general for you to say that. Can you be more specific?"

"Be specific? Let me think about it!"

After a moment of silence in the inner room, Li Ran's cool and elegant voice sounded again, he drew something on the paper, handed it to Jiang Jue, and asked, "For example, have you seen this thing? "

Jiang Jue took it over and looked at it, becoming more and more puzzled: "What is this?"

"guess?"

"Xiaoran, you know that it is impossible for me to guess, how can you be so secretive?"

Li Ran was amused by the other party's helpless expression. Jiang Jue pointed to the thing in the painting and asked, "The rows of symbols below are so weird. What's the purpose? Why are there people in it? Or tell me directly?" Let me, I have never seen or heard of this thing!"

Li Ran laughed again and said, "This thing is called a computer. After it is turned on, not only can you see people in it, but you can also see many other things."

Jiang Jue looked at him in amazement, and sighed: "There is such a magical thing in the world?!"

"Hehe, this is just one of the more advanced devices. There are many good things you haven't seen before, such as mobile phones and TVs. Put them in front of you. I'm sure you'll be shocked! Hey, you've never seen these things before. Their benefits, I don’t even know how to explain them to you..."

Li Ran was so excited that he couldn't hold it back for a while.

Jiang Jue sat quietly opposite him, watching him talk about everything he was familiar with excitedly, and that joy seemed to infect him, making his heart soft and warm.

Tonight's Jiang Jue was surprisingly interested, especially what Li Ran saw, heard and said.

Facing Jiang Jue's strange questions one after another, Li Ran answered them one by one very cooperatively.

That night, the relationship between the emperor and the empress was so harmonious that the servants guarding the entrance of the inner room peeped
