The wind was very cool on the winter night, and there was snow outside. Ruan Qiao was wearing only a turtleneck sweater. The snow fell on the black sweater and melted and disappeared in just a moment.

She took a taxi and rushed to Le Nest.

Today is Christmas, and there is a serious traffic jam in the city center. The driver has no way to take her to the door. Ruan Qiao got out of the car in a hurry.

She didn't know which private room Lin Zhan and the others were in, so she rushed straight to Lechao in one breath, and she identified it one by one through the glass on the private room door.

No, no, neither.

The box on the first floor was about to end, and she accidentally caught a call from the window.

The man Ruan Qiao had a little impression of Lin Zhan’s birthday last year, they had dinner at the same table.

When she saw the man calling, she pushed open the door of the box on the side and went in, and she hurriedly followed.

Through the glass on the door, you can see that there are many people sitting in the private room, singing, drinking, and playing cards, but I didn’t see the junior girl taking drugs with confidence.

The small glass window has limited view, and she struggled to see it. She finally caught a familiar figure, Jiangcheng.

Jiang Cheng was playing poker with people, and it seemed that his cards were not good. He frowned and threw them on the table very hard when playing cards.

There was no Lin Zhan among the two people who played cards with him, and there was no Lin Zhan around him.

Where is the person...

Just as Ruan Qiao Ban stood on tiptoe and wanted to see more carefully, someone suddenly called her behind her, "What are you doing here?"

The voice was cold and there was no need to look back. Ruan Qiao immediately recognized that the person who was speaking was Lin Zhan.

Her back stiffened and she turned around slowly.

Lin Zhan seemed to have drunk wine, and the lemon smell on his body was covered with alcohol.

The two were very close, and Ruan Qiao was blocked by him and had no room to move. When she retreated, she had to unscrew the door handle and broke into a world that did not belong to her.

From time to time, people passing by the corridor looked at them, probably thinking that they were young and interested, playing with wall slams.

"I..." Ruan Qiao didn't know what to say, so she looked up at Lin Zhan.

There was no strange emotion on Lin Zhan's face, and his voice was still very cold, and he asked lightly: "Come and look for me?"

Ruan Qiao lowered her eyes and said "Yeah". "I heard from a junior girl from the study department that you are here often recently, and it seems that there is Fei... Fei/yezi, and what else is Liu/bing..." Her voice became lower and lower.

"Are you worried about me?"

Ruan Qiao subconsciously retorted: "I want to see if you are really so depraved."

Lin Zhan sneered: "I look very brainless and dare to do anything illegal or illegal?"

"You are not very smart at first. I'm afraid you will be harmed by your friends. Isn't the TV always reported on drugging other people's drinks?" Ruan Qiao blurted out what she thought, and only then did she regret it after saying it.

She and Lin Zhan seem to be able to manage so many things now.

She didn't suspect that Lin Zhan would take the initiative to touch those things, but there were indeed some friends he was dating not that good-looking, if they were harmed...

Ruan Qiao felt uneasy when she thought of this these days, and now the stone in her heart has finally come to the ground.

Lin Zhan didn't say anything.

Ruan Qiao couldn't stay any longer. She lowered her head and said, "I have something to do, so I'll go back to school first."

She wanted to bypass Lin Zhan and leave, but Lin Zhan turned around and grabbed her hand.

"Hey, Ruan Qiao."

Ruan Qiao paused.

Lin Zhan said again: "You obviously can't bear to separate from me."

Ruan Qiao was silent and broke away from his hand.

"Last time, I was so reluctant to let go, so I chose to deceive myself and ignore the problems between us. I won't do this time."

She wanted to leave, but Lin Zhan quickly grabbed her hand and blocked her. His eyes were fixed and his expression was serious, and there was no sign of drinking.

"I have drawn three tape drawings in the past two months. After I have finished the manuscript with your friend, pre-sale will be launched at the end of the month. I also signed up for IELTS class and went to take classes three times a week. Last month I went to Gan Pei Chong, and your friend prepaid me for the manuscript fee. I used the manuscript fee to buy winter clothes for Xiao Heipi and the others."

"Ruan Qiao, I do not have any detailed plans for the future. I hold the attitude of being straightforward to the bridge head, because everyone around me is like this. I didn't think there was anything wrong before, but when I wanted to change, I no longer know where to start."

"I even checked Zeng Jiashu's resume and wanted to do better than him, but I have to admit that I may never be able to surpass him in my studies in my life, and I will also... be inferior."

Ruan Qiao slowly raised her eyes and met Lin Zhan's gaze. For a moment, all the things she wanted to say were blocked in her throat and she couldn't say it.

Just by the dim lights in the corridor, Ruan Qiao saw Lin Zhan clearly.

He seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. At this moment, Lin Zhan's cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and frowned slightly, "I'll answer the phone."

He walked to the windowsill and called, and Ruan Qiao leaned against the wall and lowered her eyes, her mind was a little confused.

Jiang Cheng happened to go out to use the bathroom and saw Ruan Qiao standing there, he was a little surprised: "Ruan Qiao?"

Ruan Qiao looked up and stood up straight.

Jiang Cheng approached and asked, "Why are you here? Are you here to find Lin Zhan?"

Ruan Qiao looked at Lin Zhan in the direction, Jiang Cheng followed her gaze and saw Lin Zhan's back.

"Have you made up?"

Ruan Qiao didn't say anything, Jiang Cheng sighed, looked at Lin Zhan's back and said, "He has changed a lot recently, but he is in a bad mood."

He turned his gaze back to Ruan Qiao: "Lin Zhan doesn't let me say it, but I think you should know something. Something went wrong in his family. You know that their family is very rich. If you have money, it is easy to have all kinds of problems. His parents are the only son, and they always spoiled him. He also thought that his parents had always been very loving, but they didn't know that they bought gifts for you in the mall and ran into his father and his lover to buy..."

Jiang Cheng half-squinted his eyes and began to recall, "It was at the end of last semester... By the way, it was the time when you got together with your high school classmates. Everyone happened to meet. He couldn't come out and said he would go home to have dinner with his parents, but he didn't know that he encountered this during the day and ran out of his home."

Ruan Qiao's eyes flashed.

Jiang Cheng: "He thought his mother didn't know about this. After talking to his father, he thought it would be fine in the future. Who knew... He found out that his mother also had an extramarital affair some time ago."

He paused, "That time I was in a bad mood and came out to drink. I encountered a few trouble-provoking things. The man turned green and Lin Zhan and his friend came to find trouble. The one he hated the most now is a third party. Think about it, how could he not fight with others with his personality?"

"Hey, in fact, his parents have been divorced from a long time ago. Not having divorce has something to do with their careers and also with him. He had a showdown with his parents once. His parents had their own games. The only condition was that they could not have children with others. However, he had high expectations for his parents for so many years. He couldn't accept this for a while and he didn't go home recently. His parents were anxious and had been looking for him recently."

Ruan Qiao was bombarded with too much information and was a little overwhelmed.

Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Zhan. He had not finished his phone call yet, "As a friend, I don't know anything else, but he really has nothing to say to you. He has been spoiled since he was a child. He is not a good student like you, but he still has no choice but to be a good student. You can have requirements for him and have to do it step by step. He even goes to teach, and really wants to be better. You also know that he wants face, and he is embarrassed to say something that he can't do well himself, and he is all in his heart..."

Before Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Lin Zhan hung up the phone and turned around.

Jiang Cheng nodded to Ruan Qiao, "I have said everything I should say. You guys have a good chat, I'll go to the bathroom first."

As soon as Jiang Cheng walked around the corner, Lin Zhan returned to Ruan Qiao.

Ruan Qiao's eyes were a little red, and she lowered her eyes to look at Lin Zhan's shoes.

Lin Zhan rubbed her hair and asked, "What did Jiang Cheng tell you about the one who doesn't have a needle on his mouth?"

"I've said everything I should say." Her voice was very small, and I could hear a little choking when I listened carefully.

Seeing Ruan Qiao's appearance, Lin Zhan held up her face and asked tentatively: "Did he say that I am very miserable? He is too exaggerated. I am really not that..."

Before Lin Zhan could finish his words, Ruan Qiao suddenly stood on tiptoe, kissed his lips, and wrapped his hands around his neck.

When people passing by saw such a explosive scene, they whistled one after another and discussed in a low voice: "It's amazing, I kissed you in the corridor!"

After a deep kiss, Ruan Qiao was a little breathless. The wine Lin Zhan had drunk seemed to have only started to get up now. After being catalyzed by the kiss, she seemed a little...excited.

"You are forgiving me, right?"

Ruan Qiao didn't say anything, and stood on tiptoe and skipped his lips, which was the answer.

Lin Zhan hugged her and asked in her ear, "Are you here?"

Ruan Qiao was a little confused, so he subconsciously replied, "No."

After she finished speaking, Lin Zhan let go of her, took her hand and ran out.

***

Tonight is Christmas Eve, and rrychrists are still singing all over the streets. Christmas trees of all sizes are lit up, and many people are wearing deer antlers and red Christmas hats. The snow has not stopped.

After running out of the Lechao, the two of them took a break for a while, Ruan Qiao gasped, and the white air she exhaled was particularly obvious in the air.

She asked, "Where are you going to take me?"

“Check a room.”

Lin Zhan's answer was particularly concise, and Ruan Qiao was stunned for a moment, not sure whether he was joking or serious.

The two stopped by the roadside waiting for rent. Seeing that Ruan Qiao was wearing only a turtleneck sweater, he unbuttoned the buttons of his coat and put Ruan Qiao in his arms.

Ruan Qiao was a small one, wrapped tightly by him.

It seemed difficult to get a taxi on Christmas Eve, but the two of them were lucky. After only a few minutes, a taxi with an empty license plate came over. As soon as they got on the bus, Lin Zhan directly reported the address: "Jun Yi Zhanghua."

The driver confirmed: "Junyi Zhanghua Hotel on Yang'an Road, right?"

"Um."

Ruan Qiao's heart began to thrive, and she really went to check in a room.

Christmas Eve is a good time for couples to spend a good night together. Most of the hotels have been booked, but Junyi Zhanghua is a high-end hotel with not cheap housing prices. When the two arrived, there was a specially launched Christmas couple room.
