CH 24.2

In this life, he and Ran Shutang got closer, and he understood him better. Maybe Ran Shutang really wanted to get closer to him at that time. If he went back that night, would a different story happen later?

Fu Yuanzhou was dazed and stared at Ran Shutang without blinking. At first, Ran Shutang was still doing the question in silence, but his back tightened a little, and he finally raised his head and said, “What are you looking at?”

“I …” Fu Yuanzhou suddenly came back to his senses, only to realize that he had been looking at him for a long time, so he casually found a reason, “I think you are pretty good–ah, no.”

Seeing Ran Shutang’s expression changing again, Fu Yuanzhou found a reason. He sat upright and said, “I just wanted to apologize to you. I didn’t have time to tell you last time, but I have found the photo and understood what happened at that time.”

“I’m sorry.” His expression was serious, “I broke the appointment on the day of the competition and made you wait a whole day. I’m sorry.”

Ran Shutang was silent for a while, then lowered his eyes and asked, “Do you remember?”

“That’s it.” Fu Yuanzhou was a little guilty. He heard all this from his mother. He really lost half all the impression of him. It might have something to do with his fever at the time. He only had memories of his high fever.

“Why didn’t you come?” Ran Shutang asked.

“I had a fever, so I was resting at home.” Fu Yuanzhou said, “At that time, the situation was special, and we couldn’t contact the organizer, but these were not the reasons. I didn’t keep the agreement with you. I’m sorry.”

Ran Shutang was stunned, as if he hadn’t thought that this would be the reason. For a while, his expression was not as calm as it was originally, but now it had become a little complicated. Finally, he slowly shook his head: “I don’t blame you.”

“But the result is the same.” Fu Yuanzhou said, “It’s still the last time I accidentally kissed you, I was also very…”

“Don’t talk about it.” Ran Shutang stood up suddenly, stood there for a few seconds, and then sat down slowly, but his ears were faintly red, “For last week, I don’t blame you.”

When he said that, Fu Yuanzhou naturally wouldn’t bother, and he couldn’t help it, so he continued to talk about the competition: “If you still care about it, we can have another match in the future, in order to decide the outcome of the day.”

“What about having the competition now?” Ran Shutang regained his composure and looked up at him, “I have many sets of chess at home.”

“Not now.” Fu Yuanzhou coughed dryly, “I almost forgot the rules, you have to wait for me to learn again.”

“Okay.” Ran Shutang responded.

The two fell silent for a while, and Fu Yuanzhou thought about what else to apologize for when he heard Ran Shutang speak softly.

“Since the first year of high school, I knew that you didn’t remember me and had no impression of the competition.”

“I told myself, I haven’t seen you for many years, I’ve grown up, it’s normal that you don’t recognize me, but I still can’t control myself, sometimes it would anger me, it’s my fault, and I also want to apologize to you.”

Fu Yuanzhou was a little embarrassed, this was true, the competition was seven or eight years ago, and the two of them had changed a lot, but Ran Shutang was able to recognize him immediately, what an amazing memory and obsession.?

“On the day you came back to school, you said a sentence to me. What you said was ‘actually you have been treating me well all the time’. I was happy, but then…”

Ran Shutang didn’t say it anymore, Fu Yuanzhou felt guilty, he said this sentence originally to vex Ran Shutang, but it made Ran Shutang misunderstand and have great expectations, but later he didn’t recognize the photo at all. No wonder Ran Shutang was so angry.

He thought about it for a while, and then said, “If you want, let the past be like this. From now on, we will be friends.”

Then he stretched out his hand and smiled at Ran Shutang: “We will learn from each other in the future, please also take care of me, I still need your guidance in the future.”

“…Okay.” Ran Shutang was stunned for a moment, he reached out and shook his hand gently, then quickly retracted it.

“Don’t you think it’s a coincidence?” Fu Yuanzhou said with a smile, “You are obviously two years younger than me, but you happened to be a grade-skipping student, and you were admitted to No. 1 High School. You and I became classmates, even at the same table…”

“…It’s not a coincidence.” Ran Shutang said.

“?” Fu Yuanzhou was puzzled.

“It’s not a coincidence that I skipped grades.”

Ran Shutang held his hands and tightened it a little bit, as if the frankness had exhausted all his courage.

“I did it for you… I found you a long time ago, and it took me two years to jump two levels in a row, so that I could study with you and let you know me again.”

Fu Yuanzhou was stunned: “You did it for me?”

Ran Shutang was silent, his face flushed, and he couldn’t admit it a second time.

Then why didn’t you say anything in your last life? Why keep everything in your heart, won’t you be sad?

At this moment, Fu Yuanzhou had too much to say, but he couldn’t say it, and he felt both regret and happiness in his heart.

It was a pity that they had too much friction in their previous life, so that their relationship was bad, and they became strangers; fortunately, there was still a chance to start over in this life. They solved the misunderstanding and could become friends in the future.

It turned out that Ran Shutang didn’t hate him but attached great importance to him.

Fu Yuanzhou was in a good mood and smiled. Suddenly, the phone he put on the table vibrated, and it was Xie Lin who was calling him.

“Where are you?” Xie Lin asked succinctly after he picked up the phone.

“I’m…” Fu Yuanzhou was at a loss for words. When he went out, he didn’t tell Xie Lin, nor did he tell his family what he was going to do. It must have been Xie Lin who went to his house and called him only when he found out that he was not there.

“You and Ran Shutang are tutoring together?” Xie Lin asked.

“How did you know?” Fu Yuanzhou was startled, and then he realized that Xie Lin probably guessed it. Xie Lin knew him too well, and it was not surprising that he could guess it.

“When will it end?”

“It’s almost noon.” Fu Yuanzhou glanced at the watch on the wall, it was almost noon.

“I’m going to find you.” Xie Lin said, “I’ll take you to the western food restaurant you like.”

“Okay.” Fu Yuanzhou was delighted. What a good day, “Then let’s meet directly at the door of the restaurant.”

“Okay.”

Fu Yuanzhou hung up the phone and packed up then said goodbye to Ran Shutang. Ran Shutang stood beside him and looked at him. For some reason, that look reminded Fu Yuanzhou of the Ran Shutang, who was at the alumni meeting in the previous life, so he asked in a mysterious way, “Do you eat western food? Would you like to come with us?”

“Can I?” Ran Shutang did not refuse.

“Of course.” Fu Yuanzhou nodded, “What’s wrong with friends eating together?”

Ran Shutang’s eyes were a bit complicated after hearing this. He went out with him. When the two arrived at the door of the restaurant, Fu Yuanzhou found that not only Xie Lin was here, but also Yu Fei too, Yu Fei must definitely have gone to his house to find him.

Noticing Ran Shutang, who was with him, Xie Lin glanced at him, nodded and said hello. Yu Fei didn’t say anything, just took Fu Yuanzhou’s hand affectionately and took him to the restaurant: “Are you hungry, let’s go in to eat.”

But the moment Yu Fei pushed the door, Fu Yuanzhou’s pupils shrank instantly, because he actually saw Shen Xigou sitting inside.

Really haunting him! Why did he meet Shen Xigou here?

How could Fu Yuanzhou dare to go in? He was about to turn around and leave immediately, but Yu Fei was startled. Instead, he stepped forward quickly, walked to Shen Xigou’s table, and greeted him with a smile.

“Lorenzo, why have you returned to China?”

Fu Yuanzhou’s expression changed instantly.
