Forbidden

The recording was only a few dozen seconds long, with large blank sections before, after, and in the middle. Cheng Suran listened to it several times and confirmed that it was their voices——Bai Lu was hysterical, and Jiang Yu was calm and calm.

Nurturing, teasing, not worthy... These ugly words suddenly pierced her heart.

But soon she sensed something was wrong.

Who sent this email?

The sender's email address is a string of messy English letters, and there is no valuable information to be found, and the sender cannot be found along the email address.And her work email address is open to the public and can be found online.

The subject of the email is "Jiang Yu". The sender must know her and know her relationship with Jiang Yu. I chose this title in case she missed it by mistake.

The content of the recording was not cohesive, without any context, as if it had been edited and presented deliberately in front of her.Knowing her and Jiang Yu's past, knowing what she cares about, knowing how to accurately provoke conflicts...

She used her toes to figure out who it was.

Ah.

Cheng Suran sneered.

If she didn't know about Jiang Yu's past, if she didn't know the grievances between Jiang Yu and Bai Lu, if it was five years ago, this flawed recording file would be enough to break her fragile glass heart.But now, she understands everything, and her heart is no longer made of glass.

Obviously Bai Lu wanted to provoke her relationship with Jiang Yu.

What can be explained by just two sentences?Context, background, emotion, nothing at all, just sending the recording to her so impatiently and rudely, and even exposed himself, how could someone be so stupid?

She was funny and confused, and gradually began to wonder if there might be some hidden purpose behind it...

Do you want to tell Jiang Yu?

Cheng Suran was caught in a tangle, imagining Jiang Yu's reaction when he knew about this incident—maybe he would panic and explain to her in a hurry, which would distract his energy and make it difficult to concentrate on dealing with the lawsuit with Bai Lu.

After thinking about it, she decided not to speak for now.

Just pretend you didn't see this email.

She exited the page and continued to browse other emails. After a while, this matter was forgotten until Wen Ruoxian knocked on the door and called her for dinner.

……

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little awkward.

Wen Ruoxian was still the same as before, habitually picking up vegetables for Cheng Suran, but the moment he stretched out the chopsticks, he thought of something again, and silently put the vegetables he picked up into his bowl.

Cheng Suran noticed it, but he could only pretend he didn't notice, and lowered his head to eat.

Suddenly there was nothing to say between them.

Do not--

You can also talk about work.

It's just that work is over.For the rest of the moving, Cheng Suran felt a little uneasy, thinking about what to say, he was absent-minded when eating.

If you want to live together with Jiang Yu, you have to move out from here, and there will only be one person in the family of two people.

"Of course, are you going to move soon?" Wen Ruoxian asked suddenly.

Cheng Suran was startled, looking into those warm and smiling black eyes, it seemed as if his mind had been seen through.She nodded lightly: "Well... After these two days of work." She lowered her eyes and poked the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks. ..."

Before finishing speaking, Wen Ruoxian interrupted with a faint smile: "Of course, it's okay, you don't have to worry about it too much."

"..." Cheng Suran choked on his throat.

"Oh."

Wen Ruoxian still looked at her, hesitated for a while, and said, "I'll buy you a new bed sheet and quilt cover, the old one... just leave it here."

Cheng Suran immediately understood what she meant, and suddenly he couldn't swallow the food in his mouth.

It turned out that she had already guessed it.

The face became thinner and haggard under the light.

"Ran Ran?"

"it is good……"

She swallowed hard and nodded hard.

The house was rented for five years at a time, and now there are still four months left for two years. When the contract expires, they will be eligible to buy a house.They used to plan to buy a house together and set up a home in Jiangcheng together.

Now she has Jiang Yu.

Where there is Jiang Yu is her home...

After eating, Cheng Suran took the initiative to clean up the dishes, put them in the dishwasher, and while waiting, he held his mobile phone to reply to the message.

Jiang Keke: [I may lose sleep tonight...]

Cheng Suran: [? ]

Jiang Keke: [Because you're not here, a fake rabbit is not as comfortable to hold as a real rabbit, and if it's uncomfortable, you can't sleep. ]

Cheng Suran pursed his lips and smiled.

[Aren't you a rabbit yourself? ]

Jiang Keke: [I want to see you every morning when I open my eyes. ]

Although it was a simple sentence, Cheng Suran's heart softened when he saw it, it was warm and sweet.

Just as he was about to reply, Jiang Yu sent another picture.

It's a screenshot of the phone's calendar.

February NO.20 was circled.

Jiang Keke: [I took you home on your birthday and prepared a mysterious gift for you. ]

Cheng Suran was shocked.

Birthday……

Her 27th birthday is approaching.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu still remembered.The corners of her eyes were moist, and she wished she could fly to this person right now. She blinked and typed with a smile: [Okay. ]

My heart was beating violently with anticipation.

……

Birthday is Friday.

Originally, Cheng Suran gave herself a vacation, but an old client called temporarily and asked her to go to the meeting to save the situation.The situation was urgent, so she agreed because of the loss of face. The ten o'clock in the morning that she had agreed with Jiang Yu was changed to five o'clock in the afternoon.

Early in the morning, she put down her mobile phone, turned over, and saw a gift box beside the bed.

Delicate pale pink packaging, and a greeting card.

[Happy birthday to Ranran. ]

The inscription is "string".

Cheng Suran got up from the bed, unwrapped the gift box, and inside was a set of books that she had wanted for a long time——an autographed edition.

"what--"

She was so excited that she hugged the book and kissed it.

Picking up the phone, he sent a message to Wen Ruoxian: [Thank you Ruoxian, I like the gift very much! ! ! ]

Wen Ruoxian replied in seconds: [There is breakfast in the kitchen, remember to eat it. ]

[it is good. ]

Cheng Suran was about to put down his phone when Wen Ruoxian sent another message: [You can come back and sit down if you have time. ]

She replied two "um", and hurriedly exited the chat box...

With plenty of time in the morning, Cheng Suran packed her luggage at home. She didn't have many things to take away, mainly clothes and books, but she couldn't move them all at once. She only packed two big boxes full and moved them another day.

After packing her luggage, she sat down and read the meeting materials for a while. Although it was an emergency rescue meeting, it was not an academic meeting, and the difficulty was relatively low.

I made a simple meal at noon and left for the meeting place in the afternoon.

Two full hours.

When I came back, it was already past four o'clock. Cheng Suran pushed two big boxes to the door, turned around, and took a last look at the house.

The phone vibrates in the pocket.

Jiang Yu's phone call.

"Of course, I'm here. Do you have much stuff? I'll go up and get it for you." The woman's gentle voice penetrated into the eardrums.

Cheng Suran smiled across the phone, "It's just two boxes, I can do it myself."

"Then I'll wait for you at the door."

"Ah."

……

A black car parked at the gate of Marina Bay.

Jiang Yu sat in the driver's seat, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, looking at the gate of the community from a distance, tapping the window sill with his slender fingers.

The figure that made her think about it day and night finally appeared before her eyes.

She opened the door and got out of the car. She couldn't wait to greet her, and took one of the suitcases. "Is that all?"

"No," Cheng Suran shook his head, followed her to the trunk, and skillfully put things in, "There are also some books and infrequently used ornaments, which cannot be moved all at once. I will come again another day."

"When the time comes, I'll come with you and move together." Jiang Yu closed the door, took her hand naturally, walked around to the right, and opened the co-pilot's door for her.

When Cheng Suran got into the car, he sat still, and a large shadow suddenly fell on his head.

A light fragrance of iris hits the nostrils.

Heart beats suddenly.

Jiang Yu bent down, stretched out his hand to fasten her seat belt, and while she was distracted, quickly kissed her face, "Let's go, my birthday boy."

Cheng Suran's ears turned red.

She didn't come back to herself until Jiang Yu got in the car, turned to look out the window, pressed the burning ear with the back of her hand, her eyes showed shame...

The two neighborhoods are very close, about a few minutes, when they arrived at Greenshang Mansion, Jiang Yu did not drive the car directly into the basement, but parked at the gate, and led Cheng Suran to the guard room to register, the authentication information was family members.

From now on, Cheng Suran can enter and exit the community without hindrance.

The two pushed the box to the elevator from the basement. Cheng Suran took Jiang Yu's arm and leaned softly on her shoulder, "Why are they family members and not friends?"

Aren't same-sex couples just pretending to be friends?

She was worried about causing trouble to Jiang Yu in the future.

Jiang Yu seemed to know what she was thinking, smiled, and said, "Because friends are separated, family members are the only ones. My lover doesn't need to use other identities to cover up."

Those loving eyes stared at her deeply.

Cheng Suran's heart skipped a beat.

The elevator has arrived.

She regained consciousness in a trance, stepped out, looked at the familiar door in front of her, and suddenly felt a sense of belonging.Her home changed from one big house to another, and the people around her also changed from one person to another.

"Ranbao, welcome home." Jiang Yu said earnestly in his ear, then took her hand, and lightly touched the combination lock.

She fingerprints her.

The double doors open.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked in hand in hand.

Jiang Yu had already rearranged the whole house.

Next to the shoe cabinet at home, there is a small cabinet dedicated to the two of them. There are four pairs of couple slippers in it, one pair for each season.The decorations at the entrance have been replaced by simple and symmetrical sets.In the living room, dining room, balcony and other public areas, things in pairs can be seen everywhere.

The master bedroom has changed the most.

In the cloakroom, a whole wall of cabinets was vacated, which was specially reserved for Cheng Suran to store clothes, and the size was adjusted according to her height.A semi-hollowed-out porch-style partition was added to the study room to divide the space into two, and a new set of tables and chairs was added.All the bunny dolls in the bedroom were gone. There were two pillows on the big bed, and a full set of pink strawberry sheets. Even the dressing table was made into a double size, and it was completely arranged according to the hostess' specifications.

There is a framed photo on the bedside table, with the only photo of them together embedded in it.

On the ship on Hexin Island.

"Of course, do you still like it?" Jiang Yu let go of his hand, hugged Cheng Suran into his arms, bowed his head and kissed her face.

With a smile in his eyes, Cheng Suran nodded slightly: "Yes."

"You can add whatever you like. When we have time, we will redecorate the house. From now on, this will be our nest."

"It's good as it is now, I like the style you like too." The two small pear dimples sank softly.

Jiang Yu's heart softened, and he kissed her forehead again, "Of course, close your eyes, there will be surprises."

"what?"

Although Cheng Suran asked, he still closed his eyes obediently.

There was a rustle.

Her hand was carefully picked up, and suddenly, there was a cool metal touch from the fingertips, and it slowly slid from the top to the bottom, and a thin ring even surrounded the fingers.

"!!"

She was startled, almost screaming, and opened her eyes impatiently.

A ring suddenly appeared on the ring finger of his left hand.

Silver light shimmers, rhinestones are brilliant.

A surprised smile appeared on her face.

"Does it look good?" Jiang Yu raised his left hand, with his back to her, wearing an identical ring on his ring finger.

"This is a couple's ring. I found someone to customize it, and there are our names on it."

Small letters are engraved on the ring ring, one is "YU" and the other is "RAN". Wearing each other on each other's hands means holding each other in the palm of their hands forever.

"Ranbao, happy birthday."

Cheng Suran's eyes turned red in an instant, hugged Jiang Yu, and buried her face in the crook of her neck, "Jiang Keke, you fouled..."

"Huh?" Jiang Yu was so rubbed that his breath trembled.

"Only a wedding ring should be worn on the ring finger."

"Then I propose to you."

"Think beautifully!"

As soon as he said this, Cheng Suran was overjoyed in his heart, his chest was trembling violently, and there seemed to be a vigorous and passionate fire burning in his body.

Jiang Yu stroked her hair and whispered in his ear: "Didn't you say last time that you want to eat the meal I cooked with my own hands? Tonight I will show my hand and make birthday meal for the birthday star."

"I'll help you." Cheng Suran looked up at her.

"it is good."

Today, Jiang Yu gave the nanny a holiday, went to buy ingredients, designed dishes, and prepared to cook a dinner for his lover by himself.Before Cheng Suran came, she had already packed up the ingredients, down to the ratio of seasonings, and placed them neatly.

Cheng Suran helped her in the kitchen.

Five courses, one dessert, one soup, plus red wine and candlelight.

A small birthday cake with two rabbits painted on it.

For so many years, Cheng Suran tasted Jiang Yu's cooking for the first time, and she was really amazed. She was reluctant to waste every dish, even if she was already full, she tried her best to stuff it into her mouth.

She suddenly understood why Jiang Yu would rather risk allergies than stop chopsticks that day...

Jiang Yu was afraid that she might break it, so he had to take the plate away.

After eating too much, Cheng Suran lay paralyzed on the sofa and refused to move. Her stomach was so distended that Jiang Yu was helpless and dumbfounded. She gave her a digestive tablet, and it took three hours to feel better.

"Well, sister..."

"Are you still eating that much?"

"Dare to do it next time."

"..." Jiang Yu pinched her ear with an annoyed smile.

It was past nine o'clock at the moment, Cheng Suran picked up his mobile phone and sent messages to Moments, replied to WeChat messages one by one, and then went to the bathroom of the master bedroom to take a shower.

Jiang Yu also went to the second bathroom to take a shower.

She came out before Cheng Suran, went back to the bedroom, took out two small boxes from the bottom drawer of the cabinet, unpacked them, took the contents and put them on the bedside table...

Everything was ready, there was the sound of footsteps on slippers outside, and Cheng Suran came in wearing a red nightgown.

The lights suddenly went out.

"elder sister?"

"power cut?"

"Sister..." Before she finished speaking, a pair of slender and powerful arms wrapped around her waist, and she suddenly spun, she fell into the warm and fragrant embrace unexpectedly, and her warm lips pressed against it.

The scorching breath, strong and gentle.

Vetiver orris is intoxicating.

Cheng Suran's hands and feet felt weak all of a sudden, and he was invincible, so he could only bear it passively, with a low sob overflowing from his throat.

The lights came on again.

"Ranbao..." Jiang Yu leaned back a little, afraid that she would not be breathing well again.

Cheng Suran panted and opened his eyes.

A ray of warm yellow light streamed down from the top of her head. It was gorgeous, bright, and looked like a crystal. Her mind buzzed, and the pictures of the past flooded her eyes again...

Jiang Yu bowed his head to kiss her again.

"Don't—" Cheng Suran turned his head to avoid it, put his hands on her shoulders, and tried to push her away.

Jiang Yu propped up his upper body with his arms, "Of course, what's wrong?"

"You used to be like this..." Cheng Suran turned his face sideways, and his voice was very soft.

Luxurious suites, beautiful crystal lamps, cold and ruthless benefactors, well-behaved and weak canaries... The memory is deeply rooted in my heart, and it has become an insurmountable hurdle, and I feel awkward just thinking about it.

Jiang Yu suddenly understood.

In the past, she was the patron, she was the canary.That relationship became a lingering shadow between each other.

Could it be that she can't touch Ranran in the future?

Jiang Yu was discouraged, and fell to one side, lying on his back, squinting at the ceiling lights.

Suddenly, Cheng Suran turned over, embraced Jiang Yu, and followed her example, slowly wrapping her soft lips around her.

Jiang Yu was stiff all over.

Seemingly sensing the man's intentions, she subconsciously wanted to push him away, but she stretched out her hand, but was grabbed by Cheng Suran and pressed firmly to her side.

"Of course, don't—" There was a trace of panic in the voice.

Cheng Suran pecked her lips, swam along the delicately carved outline, kissed her nose, eyes, ears... and finally returned to her lips, making a sound like a lick.

"You are allowed to bully me, and I am not allowed to bully you?"

"..."

"Only the gold master will not allow it."

"..."

Jiang Yu was so choked that he couldn't speak.

"Sister, don't be afraid..." Cheng Suran leaned against her ear, his hoarse voice was full of trembling itch.

"I'd like some hot cocoa."

……

A fire was burning.
