Substitute Shadow God Ascension Project

The person who is harmful, but at the same time gives him the ultimate care.

Xiang Ran stretched out his hand and slowly scratched the scar on his cheek. The tentacles were rough and uneven. He never took this scar seriously, but at this moment he desperately hoped that it would disappear from his face completely.

It turns out that love really makes people humble!It turns out that I love him so deeply!

It was too late for him to wake up.

The food on the table had cooled down, so he picked up his chopsticks again, and ate all the food that had lost its temperature one bite at a time. He ate very slowly, chewing carefully, with a focused expression.

Swallowing the last bite of food, my stomach was filled with a heavy sense of fullness, but my heart was empty as if a big piece was missing.

He took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Zhou Chao, "My body has returned to normal, and I don't need to cook for me from today. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

At first, Xiang Ran waited nervously with some anticipation, and he didn't reply for a long time, as if confirming what he thought in his heart, all the blood on his small face faded, and water vapor gradually appeared in his eyes.

Yan Yan has no itinerary today, thinking that he hasn't seen Xiang Ran for a long time, he plans to go to "Ban Xia" in the afternoon, and when he called Xiang Ran at noon, no one answered for half a day, so he called the store staff, the little girl Tell him with a little worry: The boss is in a bad mood, and he didn't come down after going upstairs at noon.

Now he couldn't sit still anymore, hung up the phone and went straight to "Ban Xia".

Turning in from the stairs, Yan Yan saw Xiang Ran who was kneeling on the sofa in the living room. When he got closer, he found that he looked sad, with wet tears on his face.

"What happened?" Yan Yan squatted in front of him and asked softly.

Xiang Ran looked up at him, crying: "Yan Yan, I seem to like someone, but he doesn't like me anymore."

Yan Yan raised her hand to gently wipe away his tears, and asked, "Who is it?"

Xiang Ran choked up and said, "Zhou Chao."

Yan Yan frowned slightly, "How do you know he doesn't like you, as far as I know, he loves you to death."

Xiang Ran took his hand and touched the scar on his face: "No, no one will like me now who is disfigured."

Yan Yan held his wrist backhandedly: "Xiang Ran, believe me, there is such a person who has loved you from the past to the present, and will not lose any points because of your scar, but will instead protect you because of not being able to protect you well." And deeply blamed himself. That person is Zhou Chao."

Xiang Ran stopped sobbing and stared at him blankly.

Yan Yan clenched his hand: "There's something I've kept from you for so long, I think maybe now is the best time to tell you. This 'Ban Xia' dessert shop was given to you by Zhou Chao in my name. He personally found this location, this house, and even the two employees downstairs for you. During that time, you were in a bad mood, and he was afraid that you would not be able to live alone after you left, so he came up with the idea of ​​opening a shop. He was also afraid You didn't accept his help and put all these favors on my head. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would have a psychological burden, but now, if you really figure it out, go after it bravely. "

"But..." Xiang Ran muttered.

Yan Yan smiled, "You don't have to worry about your scars. Have you forgotten that you were the one who desperately wanted to escape from him at the beginning. He never disliked you even a bit from the beginning to the end, and even after you left, he still tried his best I tried my best to protect you. I heard that the two bodyguards from before were also sent by him. Now I don’t know where they are secretly protecting you. Even if you can’t pass your own test, now that technology is so advanced, it’s still hard to get rid of this scar. It’s not easy.”

A little blush gradually appeared on Xiang Ran's tear-stained cheeks, "He...really..."

Yan Yan nodded, with a playful look on his face: "Really, although I still don't like that self-righteous guy very much. But as long as you really like it, then I, as a friend, have to reluctantly accept it."

Xiang Ran laughed through his tears.

"Hurry up and go find him!" Yan Yan patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.

After Xiang Ran made several phone calls to Zhou Chao and no one answered, he couldn't sit still anymore and ran directly to Zhou Chao's house.He didn't know if he still lived here, after all, that house was closer to the crew, but far away from the company.At the beginning, he condescended to accommodate himself, but now that they broke up, he naturally moved to another house that was closer to his work place.

Yan Yan came out from Banxia with Xiang Ran, and watched him get into the taxi to Zhou Chao's house.

The car receded out of sight, gradually disappearing.He thought of the scene when they met for the first time, the gentle young man who stepped forward to speak for him, experienced more than a year of ill-fated fate, stumbled to this day, and now he can finally stumble into the door of happiness.While he was happy for him in his heart, when he thought of his separation and reunion with Zhou Yi, his heart was gradually occupied by bitterness.He looked up at the vast sky, blinked his sore eyes, took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and tried his best to suppress the sadness.

When Xiang Ran got off the taxi and walked towards the community, he felt nervous.The greening of the community is good, and there are lush trees everywhere. Going forward, the oleanders are in full bloom, and the golden sweet-scented osmanthus trees are fragrant.

He has lived here for nearly a year, but he has never paid attention to appreciating the environment of the community. He used to stubbornly close his heart, dislike him and everything around him, and pay no attention to it. Now that he thinks about it, he missed too much.

Xiang Ran hesitated in the community for a long time, and dialed him again. When he heard that the ringtone was cut off but still not connected, he took a deep breath of air, and the faint scent of osmanthus was refreshing.After his restless heart was soothed, he hurried upstairs.

When he came to his door, Xiang Ran suddenly wanted to know if the password had been changed. After inputting a series of numbers, he heard a "click" sound of the door lock turning, and then the door slowly opened.

After he was stunned for a second, joy came one after another, and there was a hint of sweetness in his heart.

He thought he would come here in vain, but he didn't expect any movement in the room.Following the sound, he walked lightly to the door of the kitchen, and saw him wearing an apron and cooking with a spatula.He was so engrossed that he didn't even notice the presence of another person in the room.

From where Xiang Ran was standing, he could clearly see how he was cooking.His right hand didn't seem to be working hard, and he had to use his left hand to hold his right wrist to stir fry when cooking. The spatula slipped in his hand twice in a row, and he was not discouraged, and his expression did not change.His expression is focused and seems to be enjoying it.But Xiang Ran still felt the pain he was trying to suppress from the sweat dripping from the corners of his forehead and the tip of his nose.

Zhou Chao glanced sideways at Xiang Ran when he was throwing salt. He was surprised for a second, then smiled and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Xiang Ran was still immersed in the shock of seeing him cook hard with his injuries, and did not answer.

Zhou Chaoguan lost his temper, strode up to him, looked him up and down carefully, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen whispered in my ear that you have a ruddy complexion and a healthy body, so let me stop cooking for you. , I don’t think it has reached the standard in my heart, and I have to feed it for at least a year and a half.” Seeing that he was silent, he teased: “Are you afraid that I will listen to his slander, so you hurried over to explain G?"

Xiang Ran shuddered and looked at him with a frown.

Seeing his face change, Zhou Chao quickly put away his teasing heart, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you this. I was too excited to see you, and I got carried away..."

"You didn't see the text message?" Xiang Ran interrupted him suddenly.

Zhou Chao froze for a moment, then shook his head: "I left my phone at the office at noon." After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly turned back to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot and saw that the braised pork ribs had almost absorbed the juice, turned off the fire, and put his right hand He couldn't stop trembling while serving the dishes. He felt Xiang Ran's gaze staring at him, felt guilty, turned his head and pretended to be normal with a smile: "You go to the sofa and sit for a while, I'll go find you right away."

Xiang Ran looked dignified, stood where he was, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Zhou Chao had no choice but to try his best to hold back the tingling pain from his palm, and tremblingly took a plate of dishes out of the pot. During the process of serving the dishes, a few ribs fell on the countertop, and he had no time to take care of them. Putting it on the plate, he let out a sigh of relief.

Before he could rejoice for a few seconds, Xiang Ran suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Why did you keep it from me?" His voice was extremely hoarse because of the excitement.

Zhou Chao was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized, frowned and said, "What did Xiao Chen tell you? Don't believe his alarmist words."

Without thinking about it, Xiang Ran stepped forward and began to unbutton his shirt.His heart seemed to be clenched tightly, and there was only one thought in his mind-he wanted to see the wound on his arm.

When he got to the second button, a hand forcefully stopped him from continuing to move down. He failed to push it away several times, angrily, and stared at him: "You have stripped my clothes so many times before, and I didn't even resist. .”

Zhou Chao was amused by him with a snort, and took off his clothes by himself.

After the shirt was taken off, it was thrown on the ground casually. The sunlight reflected on his naked upper body through the window, revealing his lean muscles.

Xiang Ran grabbed his right arm and found the knife scar on the right shoulder.When Zhou Chaohu blocked the knife for him in front of him, he never found a chance to say thank you to him from the beginning to the end.Even afterward, along with those painful memories.If Xiao Chen hadn't mentioned it, he really didn't know if he would still remember it.

Gently rubbing the skin around the scar with his fingers, Xiang Ran asked softly, "It must have hurt at that time, right?"

Zhou Chao sighed softly, and reached out with his left hand to grab his hand: "Xiang Ran, don't you
