165: Chapter 165 The Third People's Hospital

Murong Lan tightly gripped Xiao Ran's hand, her eyes filled with remorse: "Xiao Ran Gege! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you back then!"

Hearing the girl's apology, Xiao Ran frowned, and confusion once again flickered in his eyes.

He tried to pull his hand away, but it was as if it was locked in a vice.

After an unsuccessful attempt, Xiao Ran could only say in a flat tone:

"I'm sorry, Murong Lan, I really don't know you. I also don't remember you ever hitting me. Could you please let go of my hand?"

His tone, to the girl's ears,

seemed to carry a distant sense of detachment, pushing her a thousand miles away!

Murong Lan's delicate body stiffened as if petrified.

[+3 Days]

This was already the third time Xiao Ran had said he didn't know her!

She didn't understand why Xiao Ran was treating her this way!

It was just a breakup!

It was just two slaps!

At worst, they could just get back together!

She was even willing to let him hit her back twice!

He could even hit her wherever he wanted!

But why had he become so cold... even pretending not to know her... [+1 Day]

But if he didn't know her, why would he come to her house?

Wasn't he coming for her?

Now that they had met!

And it wasn't even her fault to begin with, she had even apologized... He just needed to say: Let's get back together!

She would immediately agree to him!

But he didn't!

He wasn't even willing to give her a gentle look or a soft word!

Xiao Ran lay on the stretcher, once again trying to free his hand from the 'claws'.

Unexpectedly, this time he succeeded.

The girl let go of him.

It was like releasing a kite string, wanting to catch it again, but it flew further and further away.

Until... it disappeared!

Murong Lan trembled as she withdrew her hand and placed it on her pretty face.

It seemed she was trying to feel his lingering warmth.

Unfortunately... it felt cold.

Xiao Ran paid no attention to the girl's actions, instead closing his eyes naturally to rest.

Today, he shouldn't have come out!

Not only did he not eat!

He was also punched by these ungrateful people!

He was numb!

He was too lazy to be angry, and didn't have the energy to be angry.

Anyway, after this punch, he wouldn't get up without five hundred thousand yuan!

He was tired now, he just wanted to lie down comfortably and get a good sleep!

"Mom..." Murong Lan turned around and slumped onto her mother's lap like a withered flower.

"My silly daughter..."

Tang Jiayu's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her red lips parted, as if she wanted to speak but held back.

In her opinion, her daughter no longer had the ability to control Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran wouldn't even acknowledge her anymore.

'Sigh~~~'

Now she couldn't let her daughter know the truth even more.

If she knew, she would definitely go crazy!

By then, her daughter would truly never forget Xiao Ran!

Tang Jiayu gently stroked her daughter's messy long hair, and the mother and daughter remained silent, neither speaking.

The journey was slightly bumpy.

The city's neon lights had just come on.

Faint rainbow light shone through the car window, illuminating his face.

His complexion was clearly pale, yet he was so handsome... Murong Lan was mesmerized... Night fell, prime time.

The operating room light came on.

Murong Lan stood in the corridor outside the door.

She paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.

Tang Jiayu looked at her daughter's distraught appearance and reminded her with a heavy heart: "A Lan, notify Xiao Ran's... they... have a right to know."

The girl's delicate body suddenly stiffened, and a trace of panic crept onto her cheeks.

She had even forgotten that Xiao Ran had a girlfriend!

Tonight, he would rather abandon his girlfriend and come to find her.

But he was beaten into the hospital by her father.

How was she supposed to face Liang Shiqing?!

How was she supposed to face the other girls?!

She wanted to escape... to escape this world that made her feel ashamed!

She knew that after this incident,

she would definitely be listed as their number one public enemy!

And they would even prevent her from contacting Xiao Ran!

'If... I could be a little selfish...'

Murong Lan leaned weakly against the wall.

The empty and silent corridor was filled with a suffocating feeling!

She slowly pulled out her phone from her pocket, the dried bloodstains on her palm looking somewhat gruesome.

But... what had to be faced, had to be faced.

She couldn't possibly keep Xiao Ran Gege locked up at home forever, not letting him see other girls, could she?

Her fingertips trembled as she pressed an unfamiliar number, the green call button.

"Beep~ beep~ beep~"

"Beep beep beep! Xu Qianqian, you can't make a big bear by pouting!"

"Children are not allowed at the table!"

"Exactly! Not only is she the shortest, but the meat there probably doesn't even add up to half a catty!"

"Alright, alright! Don't bully Qianqian anymore!"

"Kong!"

"..."

In the apartment in Xingfu Community, there was a rare scene of harmony.

Xu Qianqian sat on the sofa with Liang Shiqing, looking depressed.

She also wanted to play a few rounds with them, but they refused her on the grounds that her chest was too small!

Lin Yaner, Lu Yiyi, Bai Lu, Gu Yurou.

The four girls were gathered around the mahjong table, playing mahjong.

It seemed they had long forgotten about Xiao Ran.

"Shiqing! Just you watch! I'm going to make Xiao Ran Gege thoroughly abuse them to death! Make them bully me for having small breasts!" The little loli bared her tiny fangs, roaring like an evil dragon.

"Qianqian, don't be angry!" Liang Shiqing patted her hand and continued: "I wonder how Xiao Ran Gege is doing!"

"Xiao Ran Gege saved them, so he must be treated as a honored guest!" Xu Qianqian smiled, "I'm very curious what kind of expression Murong Lan and the others will have when they find out Xiao Ran Gege saved them. Anticipating..."

Little did she know, Xiao Ran was currently lying on an operating table, already being treated as a 'lying guest' by the hospital.

"Kong!"

"Wow! Lin Yaner! You're really not giving me a chance, are you!"

"Hmph hmph! When dealing with a love rival, you strike hard!" Lin Yaner smiled sinisterly.

The next second, a phone rang in the living room!

"The customer cannot..."

The girls instantly focused their gaze on Lin Yaner's face.

Only she would be so shameless as to use such a ringtone.

Lin Yaner sat upright, her face expressionless, and took out her phone.

Her expression suddenly changed to one of surprise.

"Murong Lan?"

"Huh? Murong Lan called you?" Bai Lu looked surprised.

"That person dared to give us attitude that day!" Gu Yurou squeezed the mahjong tile in her hand.

"Hmph hmph! Nothing happens without a reason, I want to see what she's calling about!"

Lin Yaner snorted coldly and answered the phone.

"Oh? It's the arrogant Sister Murong Lan! I wonder what you want from your little sister?" The call connected, and the first words were sarcastic.

"Hello... Yaner..." Murong Lan's voice trembled slightly, sounding somewhat timid.

"Murong Lan, what's wrong with you? Weren't you quite tough that day? Why are you calling me now?"

Lin Yaner's taunt once again tore open the wound in Murong Lan's heart!

"Yaner... I..."

"Don't call me Yaner! From the day you were cold and heartless towards Xiao Ran Gege, you stopped being worthy!"

Murong Lan's small mouth parted slightly, her heart filled with bitterness.

She really wanted to say: Wasn't it you who deliberately stirred up trouble between me and Xiao Ran Gege? How can you turn around and blame me now?

"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up!" Lin Yaner's voice came again.

Murong Lan gritted her teeth, braced herself, and timidly said:

"Xiao Ran Gege is at the Third People's Hospital..."

She didn't dare to directly state the reason for his hospitalization.

Everything, she would explain when they arrived...
