Chapter 7 Good night, the best friend in the world
He can be reborn
It would make sense if Ah Piao existed in the world, right?
But he didn’t do anything wrong at all!
When he was at the door just now, the more he heard the cry, the more familiar it became. When he opened the door, he found it.
really!
"I thought it was someone's daughter-in-law who was bullied, but when I came in I found out it was Miss Xu, shouldn't I? It's not your style to squat in the corridor and cry."
Zhang Mingyang walked to the stairs and sat side by side with the girl.
The sensor light on the first floor was broken, and he could only observe the girl beside him who was crying silently through the faint moonlight.
The moonlight shines through the window on Xu Duanran's face, adding a sense of holiness to her.
The main reason why he fell in love with Xu Duanran so wholeheartedly in his last life was because she was beautiful!
"You don't have to worry about it." The girl wiped her tears stubbornly.
Well, she still looks better when she doesn’t speak.
"The grandma on the third floor has a heart disease, and the children on the fifth floor are probably still making up classes before school. Don't scare them."
Xu Duanran didn't reply, but she seemed to find it scary to cry alone in this dark corridor.
She took out a tissue and wiped her face, then turned her head and ignored Zhang Mingyang.
"Don't be like this. If you don't know better, you might think I've ruined you."
Hearing Zhang Mingyang's teasing, Xu Duanran became angry and stretched out his slender legs to kick him. He kept moving his body to the side, trying to sit further away from this pervert.
"You weren't like this before." Xu Duanran muttered like an angry little daughter-in-law.
"What kind?" Zhang Mingyang grinned. "I have always been like this, but you didn't realize it."
Seeing the harmless smile of the young man, Xu Duanran wanted to go up and touch his head, maybe it would make her feel better.
But in the end, she still failed to stretch out her raised hand.
"Did you quarrel with your father again?" After a moment of silence, Zhang Mingyang asked.
The two have known each other since childhood. Xu Duanran's father, Xu Mo, rarely returns to Steel City. Every time he comes back, the father and daughter will definitely have a big fight.
In school, Xu Duanran is the goddess that everyone either envies or envies.
She is pretty, has good grades, and the most important thing is that her family still has money. Her only shortcoming is probably her poor personality. Oh no, she has personality!
But only Zhang Mingyang, who grew up with her, knew that behind the eldest lady was a lonely dead child.
Xu Duanran's mother Duan Yunyun passed away very early. His mother always talked about this best friend whom she called "Sister Duan" when she had nothing to do, but Zhang Mingyang could only see that beautiful woman in the photos.
When I was a child, I eavesdropped on the conversations of my elders. They all said that Xu Mo was not a human being. Xu Mo had cheated on her before Duan Yunyun died. He remarried as soon as his first wife passed away.
However, what Zhang Mingyang heard more about was the glorious deeds of Xu Mo, who started from scratch in Steel City, engaged in real estate business all the way to Linjiang, the provincial capital.
No one knows how many small goals he earned.
After his mother passed away, Xu Duanran was brought up by his grandmother, who later also passed away.
Xu Mo wanted to take her back to Linjiang, but she didn't agree, so she lived alone in the old house.
"No." Xu Duanran's feeble reply was obviously very unconvincing.
Zhang Mingyang didn't bother to care about the reason why the father and daughter quarreled. It was just his father's preaching or wanting Xu Duanran to move over and live with him.
He stood up from the stair stool and stretched his stiff body.
It was obviously summer and the weather was very hot, but after sitting on the stairs for a while, I felt a chill in my butt.
After realizing what day it was, Zhang Mingyang stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Duanran up from the stair stool.
Speaking of which, he couldn't remember what he was studying, but he remembered certain days for a lifetime.
"You sit here for so long and you don't worry about your stomach hurting. Do you think you won't be able to take care of yourself without me?"
The girl's little hands are delicate and soft, and feel cool and comfortable to touch.
"Let's go home!"
Xu Duanran rarely struggled and allowed Zhang Mingyang to pull him. After the two of them walked out of the darkness onto the elevator, the girl with red and swollen eyes still had no intention of letting go.
Think back to before rebirth.
"Uncle Xu must have his own difficulties..."
Then he was kicked home by Xu Duanran.
Can't bear to look back.
"Why are you laughing?" Xu Duanran raised his head and glared at Zhang Mingyang. The blush on the girl's cheeks extended to the roots of her ears.
"I remembered happy things."
"Shit, you must be thinking that I'm acting like a young lady again, and I'm making trouble unreasonably. In short, it's all my fault." Xu Duanran's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end he didn't know who he was talking to.
She lowered her head and saw Zhang Mingyang wearing the shoes she gave him yesterday, and she felt a little better.
"How can you be called a eldest lady?" Zhang Mingyang pulled Xu Duanran out of the elevator. "Elder ladies are the embodiment of courage and wisdom, and you are at best..."
Zhang Mingyang paused deliberately to attract Xu Duanran's attention.
"What's that?" Xu Duanran raised his right hand maliciously. She probably guessed that Zhang Mingyang would not have anything nice to say.
"I am a little daughter-in-law who is still full of resentment and dare not speak out after being bullied. Oh, no, why are you hitting me? I am telling the truth!"
The hands that were holding each other were also released, and the boys and girls came to the security door in a noisy manner.
"Look at what time it is, go home and go to bed quickly." Zhang Mingyang imitated the voice of the high school dean and educated Xu Duanran.
Xu Duanran glared at him and turned the key to open the door.
After the door opened, the room was filled with endless darkness.
The layout of Xu Duanran's home is the same as that of Zhang Mingyang's home, with two floors and five rooms and two living rooms.
The difference is that there are three people living in Zhang Mingyang's home, and occasionally elder relatives come over, making the home very lively.
Xu Duanran usually lives alone, and the huge room looks particularly empty against the background of her thin figure.
"Have a good sleep. When you wake up tomorrow morning, you will still be the proud Miss Xu." After finishing speaking, Zhang Mingyang breathed a sigh of relief. He had a headache when he thought about having to pack his luggage when he went home.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He didn't mention anything about what happened between her and Xu Mo. Some things were unresolved, and talking about them would only increase worries.
What's more, although Xu's father is a bit of a scumbag, he still has nothing to say to his daughter.
The big heater disappeared little by little. It was obviously summer, but Xu Duanran felt a little cold.
Looking at that generous back, she tremblingly stretched out her hand to retain him, but finally let it go.
"Zhang Mingyang."
"Huh?" Zhang Mingyang was a little surprised when he was suddenly called by Xu Duanran.
"I rejected you that day..." Xu Duanran wanted to say it was because he was embarrassed, but when the words came to his lips, he changed to: "I really don't want to fall in love now."
"Xu, you've gone too far. I haven't done anything harmful, right? Are you going to issue the good guy card a second time?"
Zhang Mingyang still had his signature smile on his face. He pretended to be shocked, making the crying Xu Duanran laugh.
"Then what kind of relationship do you think the two of us have now?" Xu Duanran hopes that the relationship between them can be any kind of relationship, quasi-couple, childhood sweetheart, pursuer and pursued, etc., but he doesn't want it to be a friendship.
"Friend..." Zhang Mingyang still gave the same answer as last night, but after seeing Xu Duanran's malicious eyes, he immediately changed his answer: "The best friend in the world!"
"We have known each other since we were children, and there is no one who has a better relationship than the two of us, so of course we are the best friends in the world." Zhang Mingyang explained.
After all, it's just a friendship.
"You pass the test." Xu Duanran's mouth revealed an imperceptible arc.
"Good night then, my best friend in the world."
"Don't tell anyone what you saw tonight!" Xu Duanran waved his pink fist.
"I know, I know."
After getting the affirmative answer, she closed the security door triumphantly, as if she had won as long as she closed the door first.
Through the peephole, Xu Duanran carefully observed the whole process of the boy taking out the key and opening the door.
The moment the door opposite closed, a feeling of loss came over me.
My childhood sweetheart has returned to her smiling, naughty and sunny self again. She should be happy.
But she suddenly felt that the distance between the two seemed to have widened, as if a decade had passed between the two hearts.
Xu Duanran was a little angry. First of all, he said that he was the one who liked him and that he was the one who was his friend. He clearly said that he could give him a chance to pursue her. Why didn't he understand?
She was so angry that she lightly chopped her feet on the ground.
