imaginary rival

Ran Hang ran away.

Without anyone noticing, it disappeared without a trace during the Chinese New Year.

For no reason, Yan An recalled that time in the hotel toilet before, Ran Hang smiled lightly, but not so casually, gloom covered him at that moment, he said, if I continue to stay by her side, I will die.

At this time, Aunt Wang was blocked by Jiang Shiyu, unable to hold the hand of Yan An or Yan's mother, and she was very afraid of Jiang Shiyu's trick of unloading her power. She stared straight at Yan An with a pair of eyes. Dare to do it again.

"I don't know where he went," Yan An took a deep breath, and said to Aunt Wang, "He didn't contact me after he was discharged from the hospital...nor before he was discharged from the hospital. You can go to the police, maybe it will be more useful than looking for me."

Mother Yan looked at Yan An in surprise.

"You don't know! You also say you don't know!" Aunt Wang's emotions became agitated again, "All of them said they didn't know! How could a living person, such a big person, disappear out of thin air?"

As she spoke, she was about to reach out to grab Yan An again, but Yan's mother blocked her almost instantly, and Jiang Shiyu directly blocked Aunt Wang and clicked her tongue impatiently.

"He's sick! How long has he been out of the hospital?!" Aunt Wang yelled, "What if he relapses! What if he jumps off a building again?!"

Jiang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Yan An. Mother Yan's expression became more and more forbearing, almost hovering on the verge of eruption. It seemed that as long as Aunt Wang yelled again, Mother Yan would definitely erupt.

"...Didn't you force him to jump off the building?" Yan An opened his eyes a little too wide, and looked carefully to see if there was no god inside. Rather than reprimanding Aunt Wang, he seemed to be muttering to himself, asking, "What's the connection with 'disease'? Wasn't he forced by you?"

Aunt Wang paused for two seconds, and she wanted to say something, but Mama Yan interrupted her directly, telling her not to come again, and telling her to go to the police immediately.

Jiang Shiyu stood in front of the mother and son until they got into the elevator, and Aunt Wang didn't rush over excitedly.

As if she was suddenly woken up by Yan An for something she had been reluctant to admit, she stood there in a daze, Jiang Shiyu seemed to see her crying, but she didn't know, she was behind the light, so she couldn't see so clearly.

When the elevator door closed, Jiang Shiyu heard a very clear cry.

Mama Yan seemed to be caught by Aunt Wang just going downstairs to buy some breakfast. She never thought that such a person would suddenly appear downstairs. She put the breakfast on the table, remained silent for a long time, and looked up at Yan An and the others. Smiling: "Have you eaten breakfast?"

"...Eat," Yan An came back to his senses, and said to his mother, "Let's go back to the room and do our homework."

"Yeah." Mom replied softly.

Yan An got up and walked to his room, Jiang Shiyu hurriedly followed, entered the room and locked the door, walked over and hugged Yan An from behind.

"They ran away." Yan An turned around and hugged Jiang Shiyu with the same strength.

"Well," Jiang Shiyu paused for a while, then continued, "Aunt Wang may still come here to harass you."

"...I know," Yan An whispered, "If she can't find Ran Hang, she might come to my house all the time... After all, she is that kind of person."

She is the kind of person who will not give up until she reaches the "perfect result" in her heart.

Jiang Shiyu suddenly thought, was Yan An the same way back then, when he was frightened by Aunt Wang and forced him to go to the fifth hospital to see Ran Hang in a semi-threatening manner. If he didn't go, Aunt Wang would continue to squat by him Every location that will appear.

No wonder Ran Hang wanted to escape.

"If she comes again, call the police," Jiang Shiyu said in a low voice, "otherwise she won't let it go."

Yan An's lips opened slightly, and he was about to blurt out something, but he still didn't say it in the end.

A knock on the door interrupted all this.

The two separated immediately, they cleared their throats uncomfortably at the same time, and Yan An walked over to open the door.

"I left some porridge for the two of you, let's go out and eat," Yan's mother said, "I will do my homework after a break."

Yan An nodded, and just about to go out, Yan's mother continued to talk: "Have you been in contact with Ran Hang's mother all these years?"

Jiang Shiyu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Yan An.

"Well, she's been begging me," Yan An raised his hand, rubbed his nose, and said with a smile, "But I've been fine for a long time, don't worry."

"I never knew," Yan's mother also smiled, "You should have told me earlier."

"Don't worry," Yan An said, "Your son is very capable of resisting blows."

Mama Yan didn't speak any more.

Jiang Shiyu maintained this shock until he was at the dining table, and he drank more than half of the porridge before he came back to his senses—Mother Yan never knew about the meeting between Yan An and Ran.

For so many years, Yan An has carried it all by himself.

Maybe there is Xie Lanlan, but the fear in his heart, has he really told Xie Lanlan directly?

There should be none.

Xie Lanlan is very smart, she can see it, but once she sees it, she will not ask in detail. Relatively, there are fewer people to ask, and Yan An, who was originally unwilling to talk about it, is even more unwilling to talk about it up.

Jiang Shiyu always felt that Yan An was stupid.

Either scolding him, or thinking that this person is stupid, he doesn't take anything to heart, and all emotions are superficial.

It now appears that this is not the case.

Yan An is not stupid.

Yan An thought everything through clearly.

He even considered that his mother would be worried about him, so he didn't tell the family about it, and then put his own feelings and feelings of rejection in the last place.

It's kind of silly looking at it that way.

Pretty silly, Yan An.

"What are you staring at me for?" Yan An looked at Jiang Shiyu.

"Nothing." Jiang Shiyu lowered his head.

After eating breakfast, he was unusually silent. Father Yan came out of the room, probably already aware of what happened downstairs just now, with a very ugly expression on his face, but when he spoke, his tone towards Yan An was very peaceful.

"The next time she comes to see you, just tell me," Papa Yan said, "You should study hard now, just do well in the college entrance examination, and leave the rest to the adults."

"Oh, that's true," Yan An said with a smile, "Do you want me to praise you for being handsome?"

Father Yan stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his hand and hit Yan An on the head.

This blow was not serious, Yan An's head was lowered, it didn't hurt, but it was a little sudden.

"I won't ask you about the past," Papa Yan said, "This will make up for it."

Yan An lowered his head and stared at his crotch, enjoying himself for a long time.

The gloomy mood covered by Aunt Wang just now disappeared without a trace.

He still has a way out.

He felt scared and didn't want to face it anymore. He retreated, and his family would always be his retreat.

But if parents find out that he and Jiang Shiyu...

No, now is not the time to think about those.

There is no point in coming out, and there is no need to think about those things prematurely.

Just think about the present moment now.

present.

crotch?

Hold.

Does the homophonic stalk have to deduct money?

Yan An amused himself and grinned for a long time. When he looked up, the three people on the table were all staring at him.

"Okay," Yan's mother sighed, "I can still laugh, and I'm in a pretty good mood."

"As expected of you." Father Yan gave Yan An a thumbs up.

Jiang Shiyu and Yan An looked at each other, smiled, and said nothing.

After eating breakfast and clearing the table, Yan An and Jiang Shiyu went back to the room again, this time without locking the door.

"Where do you think Ran Hang and the others will go?" Yan An sat down at the desk and took out his phone, "North? Abroad? Or..."

"Are you really okay?" Jiang Shiyu also sat over and looked at Yan An worriedly.

Yan An paused, pinched his phone, and after a while, raised his head to look at Jiang Shiyu: "Actually...not that scared or sad, just a little...confused."

"Confused?" Jiang Shiyu frowned.

"Well, confused," Yan An whispered, "'They ran away like this, where did they go? When did they make preparations? Can they live well... ’ I was thinking about these questions just now.”

"Ah." Jiang Shiyu looked at Yan An.

"Other emotions are gone," Yan An sighed, "It has nothing to do with me, right?"

"It had nothing to do with you from the beginning," Jiang Shiyu said, "It's just more completely broken now."

Yan An froze for a moment, nodded, and responded with a smile: "Yes."

He lowered his head, and was just about to send Xie Lanlan a message to ask her to come over to do her homework, when suddenly there was a red dot in the contact line at the bottom, and a friend request popped up.

Yan An paused, and clicked on the column of new friends. A person with no profile picture and garbled ID requested to add a friend.

"...Who is this?" Jiang Shiyu pursed his lips, "The movie seller?"

Yan An glanced at him, and felt that the joke was very low-level: "Who do you think will add me as a friend at this time?"

"Do you look down on those who sell movies?" Jiang Shiyu looked at him, "Those who sell movies don't pick their working hours, you can add them if you want."

Yan An smiled face-saving.

After clicking through with his finger, he added that person to the friend list, and a sentence quickly popped up: Hello.

Yan An answered him with a question mark.

A video popped up right there.

"Fuck." Yan An said.

Jiang Shiyu took the phone over, not letting Yan An see the screen, and connected the video.

Lian Zhou's face appeared on the screen, and the background sound was so loud that he couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

After a while, someone probably put on the earphones, and the voice became much clearer. Jiang Shiyu heard a voice from the other end of the video: "Hello, Jiang Shiyu!"

Immediately afterwards, Ran Hang's face also appeared on the screen.

He was still so thin, but his eyes were bright, maybe it was illuminated by the surrounding light, Jiang Shiyu saw his eyes so bright for the first time.

"We have escaped!" Ran Hang said happily.
