Chapter 5 Go Where You Want to Go

"Where are you going?" Because they both drank, it was not very safe to ask for a driver, so Ji Ran called Lu Ming to ask him to help drive the car away, and take them home by the way.

Just when Ji Ran was thinking about Lu Ming's words, the phone rang. Ji Ran glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone.

Yan Qing's pleasant voice came from the opposite side, "Of course, are you free, can you come and accompany me?"

"Is something wrong?" Ji Ran frowned and looked at the time.

"It's okay, I just miss you a little bit, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Yan Qing's voice was very gentle, the same as before.

Ji Ran didn't speak for a long time, she looked at the street scene flashing by the window, and suddenly smiled in a low voice.

"Of course, are you laughing? Why don't you speak, can you hear me?" Yan Qing's voice was full of doubts.

"It's too late, I still have something to do, let's go another day." Before Yan Qing could answer, Ji Ran hung up the phone, looked up at Lu Ming in the driver's seat, and said as usual, "Amin, please send me back first. Come home, Cheng Cheng also asks you, thank you today."

"Hey, it's all trivial matters." Lu Ming smiled heartily, looked at Ji Ran in the rearview mirror and said with some anxiety, "Are you alright, who just now, why do you feel like you're out of energy after the call? ."

"It's okay, it's Yan Qing." Ji Ran didn't show any expression, but Cheng Cheng rolled his eyes at Lu Ming, as if he was blaming him for talking.

Lu Ming sighed, "It's her, time flies so fast, I've been dumped by her for more than ten years."

No one responded to Lu Ming's words, Ji Ran only felt a pain in her heart, at least they had been together before, but she never had the chance from the beginning.

Ji Ran returned home and threw herself into the sofa without even taking off her coat. She put her arm on her forehead and stared straight at the ceiling, wondering what she was thinking.

Ji Ran's cell phone rang suddenly, which was particularly harsh in this quiet night.

Looking at the name flashing on the screen, she was reluctant to press the answer button, and the ringtone of the mobile phone seemed to be competing with her, but she refused to stop, one missed call and another.

In the end, Ji Ran sighed and picked up the phone.

"Of course, is that you?" Yan Qing asked softly.

"Um."

"are you still busy?"

"No, I'm home already."

"Really, it's so late, what were you doing just now?" Yan Qing asked casually.

"It's nothing, I'm just having dinner with friends." Ji Ran rubbed her swollen temples, as if every word took a lot of her mind.

After a moment of silence, Yan Qing said gently: "Of course, it's so late, who are you with?"

"It's Cheng Cheng." Ji Ran answered what Yan Qing asked, and she never concealed what she wanted to know.

"It turns out that you still have contact. I remember that the two of you had a good relationship in high school."

"Well, I haven't lost contact over the years."

There was a sudden silence between the two, Yan Qing said nothing, and Ji Ran didn't want to speak.

After a long time, Yan Qing finally broke the silence, "Of course, since you're done eating, why don't you come to me?"

"It's too late, I don't want to disturb your rest." Ji Ran pinched between his eyebrows, as if suppressing something.

"But you know, I'm not afraid of being disturbed by you." Yan Qing spoke quickly, as if he wanted to say something.

But you should also know that for you, I can't avoid it.

Ji Ran suddenly chuckled and asked in a self-sacrificing manner, "Qingqing, what do you want me to do? You tell me what I should do, and I will do it."

Yan Qing was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Of course, I want to see you."

"Okay." A smile poured from the corner of Ji Ran's lips, but his eyes turned red in an instant.

Ji Ran changed his coat and took a taxi to go out.

She turned her head silently, looking at the gorgeous street scene, her heart was deserted.

The flashing neon lights are like the eyes of a monster, greedily wanting to devour everything; the piercing whistle is like the roar of a monster, laughing at the fact that everything the world cherishes will eventually become the past.

There is loneliness in the world, life is lonely, no one can walk with you, and you can only go to annihilation alone.

Suddenly, in the surging crowd, Ji Ran saw a familiar figure, and it couldn't be said to be familiar. After all, there was only one relationship, but Ji Ran saw her at a glance and recognized her.

The woman with a smile on her lips and a silent look in her eyes.

She seems to be in some trouble, and everyone around her seems to be watching the fun.

Slightly pursing his lips, Ji Ran stopped the taxi, paid the money, and walked quickly to the crowd.

The person surrounded by the crowd at this time was Su Mei.

On the way home, Su Mei slowed down and stopped at a red light, but a woman suddenly rushed from the side of the road and threw herself on the front of her car.

Facing such an obvious touch of porcelain, Su Mei looked down at the woman on the ground after getting off the car, and smiled coldly.

"Are you going to the hospital or the police station?" Without any nonsense, Su Mei directly gave the woman on the ground two choices.

Perhaps she didn't expect Su Mei to be so calm after bumping into someone. The woman on the ground was obviously stunned. In the whispers of the surrounding people, she seemed to have reacted. Tears began to flow down, and she covered her leg with one hand. "Oh, it hurts to death, my leg must have been broken by you."

"Really?" Su Mei raised her eyebrows, "Then I'll take you to the hospital for examination now."

"No, I'm still in a hurry. You can send me home first and pay us back when we get home." The woman rejected Su Mei, wiping her tears sadly.

There were more and more people around, Su Mei frowned slightly, and when she was about to call the police, a person stood beside her.

"I've already called the police, and the police will be here in a while." Ji Ran shook his cell phone at the woman and sneered, "Last time, you deliberately hit my car and caused me to pay you five hundred dollars, this time Let me photograph the evidence that you touched the porcelain, and I'll see if the police catch you for a while."

The face of the woman on the ground changed suddenly, and the tears stopped instantly. saw her eyes wandering in the crowd, and she rushed out while people were talking, finding a gap, and the speed was actually faster than a rabbit.

Seeing the figure of the woman running away, Ji Ran raised his eyebrows and smiled at the people around him, "Have you not seen enough?"

Hearing Ji Ran's sarcasm, the onlookers lowered their heads and scattered.

"Thank you just now." When Ji Ran came to her side, Su Mei had already recognized her. She didn't expect that they could meet twice in just one night.

"It's alright, anyway, without me, you have to call the police." Ji Ran smiled lightly, "Speaking of which, it's her who should thank me."

Su Mei chuckled and asked curiously, "Then did you really call the police?"

"To frighten her." Ji Ran blinked, remembering the frightened appearance of the woman just now, and couldn't help smiling.

"Sure enough." Su Mei also chuckled, after hearing Ji Ran's words, she guessed that Ji Ran lied to her, "Thank you anyway, if you call the police, the car will be towed away by the traffic police first. , it will take some time and effort to bring it up again.”

"Is it just a verbal thank you?" Ji Ran looked at Su Mei and suddenly asked seriously.

Su Mei was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly, "Are you going to have a drink?" She didn't dislike Ji Ran's self-respect at all.

"You're driving." Ji Ran reminded.

"You can call a chauffeur."

"Not yet." Ji Ran shook his head, then smiled, "Why don't you just tell me your name."

"Do you just want to know the name?" Su Mei chuckled, showing a different style in the night.

"I still want contact information." Ji Ran also smiled and said very frankly to Su Mei.

Su Mei raised her eyebrows, took out a business card from her arms, and handed it to Ji Ran, "Su Mei, don't lose it."

Unexpectedly, Su Mei would actually give her a business card. Ji Ran happily accepted it, and assured her, "I will keep it well, and I will not lose it."

"Yeah." Su Mei responded lightly and said with a smile, "Didn't you return the gift?"

"Hmm." Ji Ran blinked and looked at Su Mei innocently, "My name is Ji Ran, I don't have a business card, Ji is a disciplined Ji, of course it's natural."

"Ji Ran." Su Mei repeated, raising her eyes and smiling at Ji Ran, "Well, I remember."

Ji Ran was a little taken aback by Su Mei's smile. It seemed like a long time ago, someone had smiled at her like this, but she didn't remember her appearance.

"It's so late, where are you going, I'll take you there." Seeing Ji Ran staring at herself, Su Mei shook the car key in her hand and looked at her with a smile.

"No trouble, I'll go to my friend's house, it's just a few steps away, you'd better go home and rest early." Referring to his friend, Ji Ran's expression instantly became indifferent, as if he had changed.

Su Mei frowned and stared at her for a long time without saying a word. Ji Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, and she let her watch without leaving.

"If you don't want to go, don't go." Su Mei suddenly said, her eyes no longer smiling, "Have you forgotten what you said before?"

"How do you know I don't want to?" Ji Ran's tone was indifferent, looking up at Su Mei.

"Don't you think so?" Su Mei raised her eyebrows and asked, her eyes colliding with Ji Ran.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Ji Ran suddenly chuckled, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and raised his head slightly, "I don't want to, I don't want to."

Su Mei suddenly wanted to hug the person in front of her. Even though she was smiling, she could feel that she was so unhappy. For some reason, seeing her unhappy, she felt a little distressed.

Actions were faster than thoughts, and before Su Mei could react, she had already embraced Ji Ran. Ji Ran still covered her eyes, but was hugged by her obediently.

Su Mei sighed softly and stroked her hair, "Ji Ran, go where you want to go."

"Um."

Su Mei left, but Ji Ran still didn't ask her to send her off.

Before leaving, looking at Ji Ran's reddish eyes, Su Mei hesitated and said, "Ji Ran, you can call me if you need anything."

The night wind is gentle, the moonlight is clear and bright, Ji Ran smiles at Su Meiyue with clear eyes, "En."

At the corner of the street, Su Mei subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror, only to see Ji Ran still standing there, watching him go away.

Suddenly, in my heart, it turns out that in this world, there are still people who will keep their eyes on him.

The author has something to say:

I hope everyone can meet the person they love, no matter sooner or later, as long as it is her.
