But Shen Ming is the person Bai Ran has been waiting for for so long. Even if he is disappointed again, Bai ran can't help making excuses for him in his heart again and again.

These changes, she is not unacceptable.

Maybe her brother has experienced more things than her over the years.

Since he could unconditionally forgive her for making trouble when he was a child, she can forgive him now.

Bai ran pretended to enliven the atmosphere with ease. "Brother, you called me today. Did you just see the painting?"

Shen Ming frowned, then shook his head, "I didn't see it today. I saw it a long time ago."

"Then why today --" Bai ran was stunned.

Shen Ming smiled, but that smile suddenly made Bai ran feel uneasy.

"When I first saw the painting, I felt familiar with it, but I just couldn't remember it. No, just after an operation this morning, I suddenly remembered that you painted the same painting when you were a child," Shen Ming suddenly held Bai Ran's hands tightly, "Yiyi, it's my fault. It took me so long to understand the meaning of the picture you hung today. You... Won't blame me?"

The blood of the whole body seemed to stagnate, and Bai ran couldn't move at all.

She looked at the completely strange face opposite.

"So, you mean, you came to me because you remembered the same painting I drew when I was a child?"

Shen Ming held her tighter, "I'm sorry, Yiyi, it's my fault, but it's also because of the tight schedule of recent surgery. I don't care about your painting at all..."

Bai Ran's whole body began to grow numb, but he just smiled quietly, and then took out his hand.

In fact, she had a lot to say to him.

Over the years, she wanted to tell him so many grievances and heartaches.

But Bai ran now felt that everything was unnecessary.

Her secret hidden in the bottom of her heart, her and his secret, he said to forget

Without drinking a mouthful of milk tea, Bai ran stood up, "I'm sorry, brother. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do later. I'll go back first. We'll get together again when we're free."

Shen Ming wanted to stop her, "Yiyi, are you angry? I said it on purpose. Why are you still angry?"

Bai ran smiled, "don't worry, brother. I'm not angry with you. I'll really have something to do later."

Shen Ming was so anxious that he didn't stop his mouth. He didn't care about so many people around him.

"What can you do! Do you think I don't know what you did! Do you know what your photos on the Internet are like?! with your current reputation, who will be willing to associate with you?!"

Whispers soon came around.

Feel the eyes they cast on themselves. Don't guess. Bai ran knows what image they have in their mouth.

Shen Ming began to regret as soon as he finished, but he held his head high and didn't bow at all.

Bai ran stared at him.

She hated for twenty years and wanted a man for twenty years.

Her only relative in the world.

Also, the man who once said he would protect her all her life.

Disappointment and disbelief seemed to be just a few seconds, and the smile on Bai Ran's face gradually lost its temperature.

"Brother, I know my business well. I don't need you to remind me all the time. If you just said, I'll treat you as caring about me, but don't worry."

After a pause, Bai ran took out a bill from his bag and put it on the table. "Also, I'll really have something to do later. I'll treat you to this meal."

Shen Ming saw that she lifted her feet and left, and quickly followed up, "Yiyi -"

Bai ran stopped, but he didn't lift his head. "Brother, don't call me this in the future."

"Yiyi, I just --"

"You also said that people will change, don't you? To tell you the truth, I've always been pretending," Bai ran slowly grabbed his sleeve. "Depending on this name, it's earthy and ugly. I hated it when I was a child. I forgot to tell you before. I finally have a chance today."

Bai ran repeated again, "brother, I really hate Yiyi."

With that, Bai ran walked towards the store door.

She walked very slowly, but there was a hope in her heart that even she felt impossible.

But there was no movement behind Bai ran until he walked out of the milk tea shop.

When he came to the window, Bai ran turned his head and saw Shen Ming eating a cake.

She slowly lowered her eyes.

Brother, I really hate the name Yi.

Brother, I really hate you now.

When I returned to the villa, it was a little dark.

"Where have you been all afternoon?" seeing Bai ran walking into the living room, Ji Xinqing hurriedly came forward and took her hand.

Can't help frowning, "Why are your hands so cold?" glancing at Bai Ran's godless eyes, Ji Xinqing's voice decreased, "Xiao ran, what's the matter with you...?"

Bai ran shook his head and retracted his hand. "Don't worry, Xinqing. I'm fine. I'll come back when I see my brother."

Before Ji Xinqing could say anything more, Bai ran went straight upstairs.

"Xinqing, have dinner with young master Tang first. I'm a little tired. Go and have a rest first."

"Xiao ran, do you want to bring the food to..."

"No, Xinqing. I have no appetite, so don't bother sister-in-law Li."

Until the sound of closing the door came from the second floor, Ji Xinqing slowly collected the smile on her face.

Bai ran was lying on the bed, and the quilt covered her head.

Maybe, she's really too self righteous.

In this world, no one will really take the words of childhood to heart.

Shen Ming, in fact, there is nothing wrong.

He did what he should do. He didn't apologize to her at all.

She just, a little difficult to accept such Shen Ming, a teenager who is eighteen thousand miles away from her memory.

Thinking of what Shen Ming said in the afternoon, Bai ran suddenly closed his eyes and grabbed the quilt tightly, as if he were venting something.

I don't know how long later, Ji Xinqing's voice came from outside the door, "Xiao ran, are you awake? Can I go in?"

Blanc paused and lifted the bedding. She saw the dark night outside the window.

Like her mood, she couldn't find an outlet.

"Wake up," Bai ran said hoarsely, "come in, Xinqing."

Ji Xinqing came into the room with a bowl of noodles. "After sleeping so long, I should be hungry. I cooked your favorite noodles for you."

Bai ran looked at the bowl in her hand with disgust, "Ji Xinqing, why are you so thick skinned? With your cooking skills, it means that this is my favorite noodles?"

Ji Xinqing pursed her lips and smiled. "You know I'm poor at cooking. It's good to cook noodles for you. Besides, there are not many people in the world who can eat the noodles I cooked myself, but I promise that as long as you take a bite, you won't deny what I just said."

Bai ran skimmed his mouth and took the bowl in Ji Xinqing's hand.

"Eat slowly and be careful of the hot."

Bai ran took only one bite and suddenly stopped. She didn't know whether it was smoked by the heat or something. Her eyes were suddenly blurred.

"Xinqing," Bai ran clumsily raised his hand and wiped his eyes, "Why are you cooking noodles? Isn't sister-in-law Li here?"

Ji Xinqing saw her red eyes and said with a smile, "why, I want to cook noodles for you? Do you dislike that my noodles are not as delicious as sister-in-law Li?"
