Chapter 40(1/2)
"She held me and kept calling your name. To be honest, I've never seen her like that..." Lan Ran said, then reached out and patted her head, feeling dizzy when she drank, and was a little unrestrained, "Hey, why would I tell you this..."
Lan Ran didn't know that Su Moyan and Yu Yao had a specious relationship.
Taking a step back is a friend, and further a lover. Yu Yao chose to take a step back, but Su Moyan did not catch up with him.
Su Moyan listened quietly, while drinking, she imagined Yu Yao getting drunk and calling her own name.
I can't imagine that Yu Yao is so calm all the time, how could he get drunk? It's impossible...
Or is Yu Yao feeling as uncomfortable as her?
Su Moyan's thoughts were in a mess. If Yu Yao couldn't bear to leave her, why didn't he try to keep her at all? Even if there was a little bit of it, it was hope.
Four months ago, Mr. Yu's "rational" attitude made Su Moyan feel that there was no possibility between them.
Lan Ran is a literary and artistic creator. With her personal habits, she likes to have some artistic processing and subjective imagination in her words.
Abbreviated as "adding oil and adding firewood".
But that day, Lan Ran did see the other side of Yu Yao.
She just finished her trip to South America last month and returned to Ningcheng.
"You are not as tidy as before." As soon as you entered the house, Lan Ran threw her oversized mountaineering bag onto the ground.
"How many days do you stay?" Yu Yao just asked lightly.
Seeing Yu Yao, Lan Ran felt that she was gloomy than usual, even though she didn't shine in the sun before.
After Su Moyan left, Yu Yao found that there were more or less traces of her in her house. Even if it was not as tidy as before, it was because of Su Moyan. The pillows on the sofa were always neatly arranged, and every time Su Moyan came, it would make a mess.
Yu Yao always accommodates her. Gradually, his living habits have changed. His home is a little messy, but instead he has a smell of fireworks.
What Su Moyan said was too neat and depressing, she liked to be a little casual.
Lan Ran walked into the living room and looked at the coffee table with several cigarettes on it, which were still removed. She seemed to have discovered a new world, "When did you start smoking?"
Her sister has been a good student girl from the age of childhood. From the day Lan Ran was born, Yu Yao was her role model, although it was forced by parents.
Lan Ran and Yu Yao were in the same high school. In the first year of her high school, Yu Yao was a famous school beauty goddess. At that time, she was just walking with a few smoking students. When Yu Yao discovered it, she was criticized.
Yu Yao hates the smell of smoke more than most people, Lan Ran knows this very well.
Therefore, Yu Yao smoked, in Lan Ran's eyes, the flowering existence of an iron tree.
"No."
"You don't smoke and buy so many cigarettes?"
"Other's." Yu Yao put away the cigarettes and put them back in the original place. They were all left by Su Moyan. Yu Yao remembered what she promised Su Moyan that she would accompany her to the beach once as long as she quit smoking for three months.
On Christmas Eve, Su Moyan quit smoking for three months. After she confessed, she went to the tropical beach with Yu Yao. Su Moyan’s mistake was that she was too confident. She never thought that Yu Yao would reject her so directly and not give her any chance.
"Other's?" Lan Ran looked at the ladies' cigarettes, thinking that the brand was foreign and not common in China. She saw Su Moyan smoking. Lan Ran's reaction was extremely keen, "...Su Moyan?"
Yu Yao did not answer, but when she heard the name, she felt a ripples in her heart. What would she think if she insisted on sticking to her rationality and keeping Su Moyan’s things?
Judging from Yu Yao's reaction, Su Moyan didn't run away. When Yu Yao came back here, Lan Ran felt something was a trick. She was just making jokes at that time, but now it seems that the relationship is not very simple.
"Sister--" Lan Ran cleared her throat, raised her eyebrows and eyes at Yu Yao, her mouth was like a continuous cannon. "Finally, the old cow ate tender grass," she couldn't help but attack the little girl? Are you together? Already live together?!"
Lan Ran became more and more excited when she spoke, and her gossip was restless. When she got to the point of being young, she was happy with gossip news like Yu Yao.
Yu Yao's face became heavier and heavier, "Nothing nonsense."
I remember when she was in high school, she found out that Yu Yao was dating a girl, and her sister said the same thing.
Yu Yao had dated a woman, and Lan Ran discovered in her first year of high school that the girl should be her sister's first love. It's hard to imagine that Yu Yao, the female academic master who has always only studied, can have early love, and the partner of early love is still the same sex.
Since then, Yu Yao helped her keep the secret of smoking, and she helped Yu Yao keep the secret of early love. The relationship between the two is harmonious until now.
Later, Yu Yao broke up with that girl. Lan Ran didn't know the reason or when they broke up. Although the love on campus was innocent and beautiful, it might not be possible to continue. After all, she didn't know how to take responsibility at that time.
Yu Yao's later faced with his cautious relationship, and he must have nothing to do with that relationship.
That night, for the first time, they sat together and drank wine. The two sisters hadn't drunk together for many years.
Yu Yao drank a lot, which made Lan Ran a little worried about her condition.
"I'm in a bad mood, drink so much?"
"Are you still traveling, don't you plan to stop?"
"I don't have any plans for the time being, take a look at it step by step, think about it... how boring is it always in the same place?"
Lan Ran’s words seem familiar, and Yu Yao also said them when he heard Su Mo’s words.
Yu Yao took a sip of wine and turned the wine glass in his hand, "Are you all like this?"
"us?"
"People who like to travel." Yu Yao remembered the photo wall in Su Moyan's living room. Su Moyan said that she lived in sixty-three cities.
"Some people like stability, some people like excitement, some people can't play halfway, some people will keep playing, everyone is different, how do you ask me to answer?"
Lan Ran was a wine jar, but Yu Yao drank more than her tonight.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"I'm a little sleepy." Yu Yao sighed, then leaned against the sofa and narrowed his eyes.
Lan Ran and Yu Yao are completely opposite. Lan Ran can't accumulate any thoughts in her heart and speak in a blunt manner. Yu Yao will keep everything in her heart and always keep her compliment and disgrace, for fear that some things will be seen.
Yu Yao took a short dream after a while.
Su Moyan has been away for more than four months, and she has not taken the initiative to contact herself anymore. Yu Yao tried not to think about some things, but late at night, they got up by themselves.
Yu Yao's head just slid on Lan Ran's shoulder, half asleep and half awake, she murmured.
"Moyan...don't leave..."
Yu Yao said it very lightly, just once, and it was a little vague, but Lan Ran heard it very clearly. She was actually calling Su Moyan's name.
A woman who never allows herself to be in a state of disgrace in front of others, drinks wine and calls someone else's name in her mouth.
Yu Yao likes Su Moyan, Lan Ran is sure.
Although Lan Ran is happy and free and easy alone, she has a special hobby, which is that she likes to make people feel like she is in touch with others.
She knew many people and had introduced them to Yu Yao many of them. There are elites from all walks of life, both men and women. Yu Yao has never looked at the person he likes. A noble and cold woman like her sister, even if she dies alone, Lan Ran will not be surprised.
But unexpectedly, Yu Yao is now attracted by a little girl, which shows that no one can explain the relationship clearly, right?
My thoughts returned to the present moment. Lan Ran ate the roasted chicken skewers and did not continue the topic just now. She said to Su Moyan, which seemed a bit inappropriate.
“Grilled chicken balls are good.”
"Well..." Su Moyan had not yet come out of the topic just now.
"How long are you going to stay in Osaka?"
Su Moyan was silent, not a spacious izakaya, with people coming and going, mixed with the sound of ordering in Japanese.
"Moyan?" Lan Ran took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag, and she went to South America. When she came back, the people around her became sentimental.
Su Moyan was quiet for a long time before saying, "I like her."
Lan Ran was holding a cigarette box in her hand and digesting what Su Moyan said. This was obviously referring to the "Yu Yao" she was just talking about.
"You said...Yu Yao?"
Su Moyan nodded and repeated: "I like her."
Lan Ran carefully sorted out, "You like her, are you still coming to Japan?"
Su Moyan took a breath, "She rejected me."
"Why?"
"I don't know." Tonight, Su Moyan felt even more confused after hearing Lan Ran's words, "If she had me in her heart, why didn't she keep me..."
Su Moyan said these words for the first time.
Lan Ran knew Yu Yao too well. One layer outside Yu Yao was ice and the other inside was fire, but the ice was too thick and it was difficult to even the fire.
On the surface, it made others feel that she was indifferent. After being half drunk, she said "Don't leave" in a slight way. Lan Ran smiled helplessly. This is something Yu Yao could do.
"Child," Lan Ran suddenly became serious about Su Mo, "It would be right for her not to keep you. If you can't even understand this, it's normal for her to refuse you."
Lan Ran felt that Su Moyan didn't know enough about Yu Yao. He was a little younger and had a lot of things. How could Yu Yao accept it easily?
"I'll say all this, think about it yourself." Lan Ran didn't say much to Su Moyan. From the beginning, she felt that Yu Yao and Su Moyan were unlikely to be together. Even if they had a good impression of each other, Yu Yao knew too well what she wanted, which would be a good thing.
If Lan Ran is in love, she will never look for her sister. She has no mood or romanticism and is still tired.
“Do you smoke?”
Looking at the slender cigarettes, Su Moyan was thinking about the past between her and Yu Yao. Do they still have the chance to go to the beach together? She hasn't smoked for more than half a year.
Yu Yao promised her too many things, went to the beach together, worked as a model for her, and made a meal for her every week... Now, nothing has come true.
Su Moyan hesitated for a while, "...Forget it."
“Have you quit smoking?”
To be continued...
