The next day, early morning.
An Ran had a dream.
In the dream, she was walking down the street when soone suddenly approached her and sneered, "An Ran, how do you still have the face to go out?"
"Yeah, we all know you’ve fallen for your own brother, yet he treats you as the target of revenge, hahaha..."
More and more people gathered around.
Sharp laughter echoed from all directions.
An Ran stood there helplessly, covering her ears.
No, I don’t want this!
An Ran suddenly opened her eyes.
The gentle sunlight stread in through the window bars.
This place... it seems to be a hospital room.
Right, last night, she seed to have fainted.
Apparently, there was a naughty kid throwing things from upstairs at her.
An Ran felt a bit disoriented and turned her head to look aside.
She saw Chi Cheng sitting there, wearing a dark gray knitted vest and a white collared shirt, his legs crossed.
His sleeves were rolled up, and the silver chanical watch reflected light in the sunlight.
He lowered his eyes, holding a book entirely in English.
His serene appearance was remarkably similar to an ancient gentleman who was indifferent to fa and fortune.
However, he was not.
Beneath this façade was a deep, unfathomable inner world.
Sensing sothing, Chi Cheng slowly raised his eyes but didn’t show much expression upon An Ran’s awakening, rely saying, "Awake?"
An Ran bit her lower lip, withdrawing her gaze, and didn’t speak.
The door to the hospital room was knocked on, and Mingjie returned with breakfast, exclaiming excitedly upon seeing An Ran awake, "Great, you’re awake! I just happened to bring breakfast, go ahead and eat."
Saying this, he placed the breakfast on the bedside cabinet.
Chi Cheng closed the book, placed it on the wooden chair, and got up to check what he had bought.
At that mont, An Ran saw the wound on Chi Cheng’s hand.
How did that happen?
It was fine during the dayti.
Mingjie sat down carelessly, saying to An Ran, "You don’t know how critical the situation was last night, if not for Brother Chi..."
"Mingjie." Chi Cheng interrupted him, "These two types of porridge aren’t good, go buy so more."
"Huh?" Mingjie looked bewildered.
Why not good?
He bought seafood porridge.
An Ran likes sweet and sour fish, so she should like seafood too, right?
But what Mingjie didn’t know was that while An Ran indeed liked sweet and sour fish, she didn’t like seafood apart from that.
Mingjie stood up.
Never mind, Brother Chi’s word is final.
He obediently went to buy porridge again.
The room fell into silence.
The beauty of the past between An Ran and Chi Cheng seed to have dropped to a nadir with the exposure of the truth.
What to do?
Her heart felt so heavy.
An Ran pulled up the blanket, got up to put on her shoes.
Chi Cheng: "Go lie back down."
"I want to return to B city." An Ran said, wearing her shoes.
"I told you to lie back down." Chi Cheng’s tone grew a bit firm, then softened again, coaxing her as he always did, "Be good, okay?"
The more he acted like this, the closer An Ran was to losing her mind.
"What on earth do you want from ? You don’t like yet treat this way? Why should I listen to you!"
Chi Cheng silently watched her for a while, then slowly stepped forward, "Ranran is just my prey, and what prey naturally does is obediently listen, understand?"
Prey.
I am rely his prey.
Those words from his mouth were so jarring.
An Ran tightly clutched the sheets beneath her, her chest heaving violently.
