Second Hand Love Letter

Shi Ran looked at the message Shi Yu sent him, and immediately called her: "What's the matter? Did you tell him that?"

"It's not what I said, sister." Shi Yu shouted injustice, "I was passing by the study just now, and I heard Lao Shi talking to our mother, overheard, and said that I will talk to you when you come back. ."

Shi Yu said, and then asked cautiously: "Sister, will you come back then?"

The lights along the way flashed from Shi Ran's eyes one by one, illuminating her looming disappointment.

She licked her lower lip and asked, "Do you want me to go back?"

Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't want you to go back. We can meet anytime, but now you're going to quarrel with Lao Shi if you can't make it home. I don't want you to have such a bad year."

Shi Yu's words were like a little warm light in winter, which warmed Shi Ran's cold heart.

She smiled and said quite contentedly: "Okay, your sister, I am very happy with your words. My mother made me squirrel mandarin fish. I have to go back and eat it back. Taxis are also very expensive.”

The driver of this taxi is not too talkative. The car was quiet and quiet all the way. The lights in the carriage were flickering and darkening, like a harbinger of the coming storm.

When Shi Ran arrived home, Shi Yu was already squatting at the door waiting.

The boy happily put the phone in his pocket and greeted him: "Sister, you're here."

"Come on." Shi Ran replied, looking at the clothes on Shi Yu's body, and complaining: "What kind of clothes are you wearing this new year, mourning clothes?"

Shi Yu pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, opened the door for Shi Ran, and said, "What, this is a trendy brand I collaborated with Ah Shan, do you understand the trend?"

Shi Ran looked at Shi Yu's body that he couldn't draw such an ugly pattern, and laughed and complained, "This trend is really ugly."

The two of them exchanged glances at each other and saw Shi Haijun who heard the wind standing on the platform on the second floor.

He looked down at his daughter, who he hadn't seen in nearly two years, and called out in his voice, "Shi Ran, come to the study."

Shi Yu was a little worried and pulled Shi Ran's wrist: "Sister."

Shi Ran, adhering to the method of the soldiers coming to cover the water and the soil, patted Shi Yu's hand, "Don't worry."

After that, she took the elevator and walked towards Shi Haijun's study.

This family has not returned for two years, but it is more and more luxurious and rich.

Shi Haijun, like every nouveau riche, started showing off his wealth and success without seeing much of the world. The whole family was like an exhibition hall, which made people feel extremely stiff.

Shi Ran remained polite, knocked on the door, and walked into Shi Haijun's study.

The entire study is even more exaggerated than in the past. There is no elegance and elegance that I want to make, and there are only so-called lavishness piled up by large pieces of mahogany.

Shi Ran didn't like it, so he lowered his eyes and said to the man sitting behind the mahogany table, "Dad, are you looking for me?"

Shi Haijun looked at his well-dressed daughter, didn't beat around the bush, came up and said, "You broke up?"

"Who told you?" Shi Ran asked rhetorically.

Two words, has already pulled up the two people's incomparable atmosphere.

Shi Haijun ignored Shi Ran's question and asked: "Don't care who told me, since you have broken up, go on a blind date with the son of the Wu family after that year, and then discuss marriage."

Shi Ran endured for a while, but frowned, "Why?"

"Because I am your father, because I am now for your own good!" Shi Haijun said oppressively.

"For my own good?" Shi Ran pulled the corner of his lower lip and smiled at the man sitting opposite her who had no fatherly love for her at all.

This man valued profit over justice, patriarchal over women, and would do anything to achieve his goals.

Although she only lived under the same roof with Shi Haijun for a year, she was the person in the family who could understand him the most.

Shi Ran didn't want to show mercy to him, and asked frankly in this room with only the two of them, "Are you doing it for my own good, or for your company?"

Shi Haijun didn't expect that he would be pierced by Shi Ran's mask of hypocrisy as soon as he came up, and asked angrily, "Then you don't want to be because of me, or because you still like women?"

"I've never seen anyone's daughter with a woman. You had to be with that little girl named Song at the beginning, after chasing her for seven years, didn't you break up?! You have to do such a shameful act. Is it the matter?"

Shi Haijun's words pierced directly into Shi Ran's heart, and pierced her beautiful fantasy about today's home.

She looked at the stubborn and stubborn man in front of her like this, and reminded: "Shame, Dad, now is the age of same-sex marriage, I don't think this is a shameful thing!"

Shi Haijun didn't understand, and retorted: "You still don't feel ashamed of liking women, do you?! How could I have given birth to such a wicked obstacle as you."

Shi Ran felt a dull pain in her heart. She thought she didn't care for a long time, but her heart still hurts.

A little bit of disappointment piled up in Shi Ran's eyes, and she asked back, "Dad, don't you like women too?"

It was this rhetorical question that made Shi Haijun suddenly violent, and his generous palm slammed on the table, "Bastard, am I the same as you!"

"I'm a man, you're a woman! The union of men and women is only natural, you are against the rules of ethics! You are really ashamed of our ancestors of the Shi family! Do you know!"

Shi Haijun's tone was the same as when Shi Ran quarreled with him two years ago, and when Shi Ran came out of the closet six years ago.

After a long period of time, he still can't change and is not recognized by his family. The literal definition of "home" has formed a huge sense of separation from reality. Once again, Shi Ran's umbilical cord that is involved with this family is pulled hard.

Shi Ran suddenly found that the emotion she once replaced with indifference was reawakened at some point, and turned into disappointment after broken expectations.

She looked at Shi Haijun, who was separated by a mahogany desk, and her voice became extremely cold: "Dad, you forgot that when my mother gave birth to me, didn't you already say that you are ashamed of your ancestors?"

"Did you want me to be a boy? Since you think I should be a boy, then I should like women."

"Dad, I really don't understand. Since I have already obeyed your wishes, why are you still so angry?" Shi Ran raised his head and smiled at Shi Haijun.

Shi Ran's smile was full of the cuteness that a child should have, but it looked extraordinarily out of place.

Shi Ran deliberately said such words to Shi Haijun.

She was using this almost mental self-mutilation method to embed her words into Shi Haijun's heart.

The more unacceptable he is and the more he presses himself to turn his head, the more she will entangle these things with his concerns.

Shi Haijun looked at it like a dog whose tail was stepped on, patted the table and roared, "Shi Ran! You shameless bastard! Listen to what you said!"

Shi Ran immediately suppressed the smile on his face when he heard the words, and asked coldly, "My next act? Then what are you?"

"Don't you think that what I'm doing now is what you were talking about when I was in my mother's womb?"

When Shi Haijun heard the words, his voice suddenly became louder than before, and he pointed at Shi Ran's nose and scolded: "I gave birth to you to support you, and you have been brought up to sin, right? I have raised you for twenty years, just let others come. Are you watching Lao Tzu's jokes?"

Shi Ran had already prepared for Shi Haijun to look like this, followed his words and nodded with a smile: "Yes."

"You caused me to be what I am now. You are ridiculed by others, and it is your own fault."

When the fact that a person refuses to accept is tied to the thing that cares most about oneself, it often leads to incompetence and rage.

Shi Haijun didn't want to listen to what Shi Ran had to say anymore, so he clenched his fists and yelled at her, "Shut up, Lao Tzu!"

Time seemed to have pressed the pause button at this moment, pressing down the chaos in the entire room.

The crystal ornament refracted the incandescent light, drawing a bright arc in the air, and attacking the thin and unprepared man.

The sound of the crystal shattering was intertwined with the noisy and anxious footsteps downstairs.

Shi Ran fell to the ground clutching his forehead, a strand of blood seeping from his fingers.

She admitted that she had miscalculated, that she had forgotten that her father would use force if he could not speak.

But she doesn't regret it.

She is a fox and a hedgehog, and she has the genes of a lunatic in her bones.

If you are crazy, you will choose to duel people by stabbing others and yourself.

"What's the matter! Why are you arguing again?"

Mother Shi and Shi Yu, who heard the movement downstairs, rushed in suddenly. Shi Yu saw Shi Ran sitting on the ground with crystal fragments scattered around, and hurriedly helped her up: "Sister, are you alright."

Shi Ran was still a little stunned, and followed Shi Yu without saying a word.

At this moment, Shi Yu's pupils suddenly dropped: "Why is there blood, sister, have you been broken?"

Mother Shi comforted her irritated husband, served him to eat quick-acting heart-saving pills, and looked at her injured daughter with a bit of annoyance: "Of course, are you talking back to your father again? Yes, can't you be more obedient?"

Shi Ran covered his aching forehead and sneered, "Am I disobedient? I'm just telling the truth..."

"Ran Ran!"

It's just that Shi Ran's words to stimulate Shi Haijun were interrupted by Shi's mother.

She looked at Shi Ran sullenly, and said, "You have to make your father angry, right?"

Shi Haijun, who was beside him, seemed to have regained his strength. He pointed at Shi Ran and scolded: "If I knew you would be like this, I should have strangled you as soon as you were born!"

Shi Ran couldn't bear it anymore, and choked: "Then you are a murderer who deserves to be stabbed with a thousand swords!"

"You!" Shi Hai's hands were shaking in anger. Mother Shi hurriedly supported him and ordered Shi Ran, "Okay, of course, please apologize to your father."

Indiscriminate, I just want to bow my head and calm things down.

Shi Ran still remembered that when Shi Yu University didn't want to go abroad to make trouble with Shi Haijun, she rushed in crying to protect Shi Yu.

She is a dodder attached to a man.

In her heart, first was Shi Yu, then Shi Haijun, and then her mother's brother and brother, and finally she was herself.

Shi Ran felt laughing in her heart, she knew all this, but she still chose to give her the right to give her hope once.

She never imagined the phone call from the street just now that the knife her mother was stabbing at her was the hope she handed her at noon.

The disappointment in Shi Ran's eyes had accumulated to the extreme, and he looked at Shi's mother and Shi Haijun with deep eyes: "I shouldn't have come back today. I shouldn't have expected anything from you."

After saying that, she put aside Shi Yu's hand to support her, and left without looking back.

Seeing this, Shi Yu wanted to chase after him, but Shi Haijun shouted, "Shi Yu, come back to me! If you dare to follow that **** out of this house today, try it!"

Shi Yu looked at his aloof father with anger in his eyes, but he still raised his feet and chased after Shi Ran.

"sister!"

Shi Ran watched Shi Yu chase him down, stopped at the door, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the car key."

Shi Yu took the car keys out of his pocket and asked hesitantly and nervously, "Sister, where are you going, isn't it New Year's Eve?"

Shi Ran raised his hand on his forehead and laughed at himself: "Can I still celebrate the New Year like this?"

Shi Yu felt so uncomfortable when he heard this.

The family's almost pedantic preference for himself and harshness toward Shi Ran were the ones he could see the most clearly, but he was also the most powerless.

I don't know if the years abroad made him more courageous. He picked up the clothes at the entrance and said, "Sister, I'll take you to the hospital. I'll accompany you for the New Year this year."

Shi Ran heard what Shi Haijun shouted at Shi Yu in the study. He didn't expect Shi Yu to make such a choice, which warmed his heart a bit because of the coldness of this home.

But Shi Ran still didn't choose the option that would bring trouble to Shi Yu, she patted Shi Yu on the shoulder and tried to put a smile on her face: "It's enough to have you, go back. It's cold at night. , you wear so little, it's freezing, they should feel sorry for you again, and they want to strangle me even more."

"sister…"

Shi Yu wanted to say something, but Shi Ran touched his car key with one hand.

Shi Ran didn't look back, pushed the door and walked towards the car with its headlights flashing twice, and said to Shi Yu behind him, "I'm leaving, don't come to me."

Tonight, the night outside the city is lonely, there are no stars, and the moonlight is extraordinarily dim.

The night swallowed up all the light in the day, and also swallowed up all the Shi Ran in Shi Yu's sight.

The same goes for the night in the old town.

Because Chen Ruoyu returned to China this year, and the family's New Year's Eve dinner was a big table, Chen Yuanshan and Chen Shiwei both came.

The three brothers and sisters sat at the round table talking and laughing, and several juniors also talked about fashionable topics, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Except for Chen Ruoyu.

For some reason, she felt uneasy from the morning, and even more so in the afternoon.

"Buzzing..."

At this moment, the phone vibrates on the dining table.

Chen Ruoyu looked at the names jumping on the table, quickly raised her hand to cover the screen, and got up and left the table.

Chen Yinbing noticed Chen Ruoyu's action and looked dissatisfied.

Chen Ruoyu walked to the stairs and picked up Shi Yu's call, and asked bluntly, "Shi Yu? What's wrong with your sister?"

Shi Yu didn't realize why Chen Ruoyu opened her mouth and guessed whether Shi Ran was in an accident, and said to her worriedly: "Sister Ruoyu, my sister had a fight with my dad and was smashed by my dad. , I'm being held at home by my dad, can you help me find my sister?"

Listening to Shi Yu's words, Chen Ruoyu felt that her heart was slammed.

She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know where she often goes?"

"I don't know..." Shi Yu shook his head and speculated randomly: "Maybe he's going home, maybe he's going to the mall, or the video game city..."

Chen Ruoyu felt that Shi Yu's inference was unreliable, so she hung up the phone and hurried to the door.

Chen Shiwei happened to see Chen Ruoyu's hurried appearance, and hurriedly asked, "Ruoyu, where are you going for the New Year's Eve!"

"There is something in the company that needs to be dealt with urgently." Chen Ruoyu calmly prevaricates, put on his coat and boots in three or two, took out the keys in his pocket and walked towards the garage.

Several people looked at the back of Chen Ruoyu leaving, and began to sigh that this big company is not easy to do.

On the other hand, Chen Yinbing was sitting in the front seat, his face was much gloomier than before.

The New Year's Eve in the remote villages in the eastern suburbs is more lively than the city, and the lights lit in every household are wrapped in the smell of reunion.

The night wind blew over the already frozen lake, and it was all the piercing cold that was far away from the crowd.

The dry reeds were barely blown by the wind, and a vague figure could be vaguely seen on the shore.

The empty beer cans rolled with the wind a few times and hit the exposed stone buried in the mud.

Shi Ran sat alone by the lake, watching the intermittent sound of fireworks and firecrackers in the village on the other side.

She still remembered that not long ago, she was also one of these firecrackers, and the little old lady was often shocked by her mischief.

But not so long ago, it was already *** years ago.

When I was chatting with Chen Ruoyu at the hot spring villa a few days ago, I still thought that I was a child who was not loved by others.

Yes, she was never loved by anyone...

Shi Ran sneered, raised his head and took a sip of wine.

The fireworks set off by a family suddenly rose into the sky, and the red and yellow ones exploded into a ball.

Shi Ran didn't know what to do, and thought about Chen Ruoyu.

She wondered in her heart, how wonderful it would be if this person could be by her side now...

"Shi Ran."

A cold voice rang out along with the rustling of the reed poles.

Shi Ran was a little dazed, and his hand tightening his grip on the beer can.

She couldn't believe it, but she still looked in the direction of the voice with some hope.

The reeds swayed in the black world, and a second person appeared in the dimly lit world.

Chen Ruoyu pushed aside the reed pole and walked towards Shi Ran, her thin figure was particularly abrupt in the vastness.

Eyes facing each other, silence is better than sound.

Chen Ruoyu saw that Shi Ran's eyes filled with tears seemed to hide many stars.

But the stars are also afraid of falling.
