Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Stomach pain, heart is also uneasy
When Su Ran teased Xu Tianna for lying, her expression did not change, and she responded calmly: "I remember I told you last time that it is inconvenient for you and me to live in the same room, and our lifestyles and habits are very different. Why do you have to make things difficult for me again and again, and entangle with me endlessly?"
Su Ran also replied calmly: "Don't talk like that, how have I ever made things difficult for you? What I care about is just that room. If you move out, I will never bother you in this life."
Xu Tianna nodded slightly , said: "I believe this, but my name is clearly written on the property certificate, what's the point of you being so concerned?"
Su Ran looked solemn and said sincerely: "Can you and I put ourselves in each other's shoes? If you have lived in a house for more than two years and suddenly have to move out, how would you feel? In Suzhou, we have no place to stand, and our lives are like floating duckweed. We are longing for a place to rely on. Especially when night falls, you will never understand the fear of having nowhere to stay, the depression and helplessness."
Xu Tianna fell silent.
Su Ran also stopped talking. What caused them to conflict at this moment was not only this house, but also the gap caused by class differences. Such obstacles made it difficult for them to understand each other, but they each insisted on their own and tortured each other in their persistence.
After a long time, Su Ran asked with doubt: "In fact, if you insist on me leaving, such as asking the police to solve the problem, I will have to leave. Why haven't you done it yet?"
Xu Tianna looked up at Su Ran, and after a moment of silence, she slowly said: "You are not so bad that the police need to intervene."
Su Ran heard this and said with a wry smile: "Then I am really lucky, fortunately I am not bad enough."
This was originally a sarcastic remark to Xu Tianna, but she responded seriously again: "You can stick to that restaurant and become close friends with that kind of woman. You must not be a person with bad character. It's just that life and emotions put a lot of pressure on you, making you look cynical, as if you can do all kinds of evil, but in fact you just want to comfort yourself."
Su Ran heard this and looked at Xu Tianna in a daze. Over the years, the person who saw him most thoroughly was her. At least Lu Chen, Yan Yan, Robben and other close friends have never said such words. The knot deep in his heart seemed to be gently touched by Xu Tianna. Although it was not completely untied, it was enough to stir his heart.
Su Ran finally spoke: "Are you trying to affirm my character and make me ashamed to pester you so that you can live in peace? Don't play tricks on me. I have also read books and I know the strategy of appeasement."
Xu Tianna remained silent, her expression full of helplessness, helpless against Su Ran's soft and hard tactics. And Su Ran has already made clear her bottom line. If he insisted on staying, she would have no choice. Su Ran thought to himself that he would not give her another chance to imprison himself in the house. How could such a smart and alert person like him be frustrated repeatedly with the same woman?
Su Ran was not ashamed of his pestering Xu Tianna. After all, she had a mansion in this city. Even if he forced her away, she would not feel the feeling of being adrift and helpless. And he would not live in the old house for nothing, and he would pay the rent in full.
At this moment, Su Ran was thinking this way. If Xu Tianna could compromise, they would be happy. It is true that she is beautiful and rich, and as the CEO of Zhuomei, but this does not mean that he must admire her or have any plans. Therefore, he does not need to be too entangled, as long as she is willing to give him the rent, he will never bother her in his life.
After a little thought, Su Ran said to Xu Tianna who had remained silent: "Why don't you rent this house to me? Don't you have another property in Liu'an Jingyuan? You can live there. Just leave me a bank card number and I will deposit the rent into the card on time every month. In this way, you and I don't even need to meet each other, isn't it wonderful?"
Xu Tianna was not moved by Su Ran's proposal at all, and said with a sullen look: "You were so determined to move out last time, why do you go back on your word now?"
"I am such a rogue person, and I act indecisively. Besides, I thought I could find a suitable place to live after moving out, but either the rent is too high or it is far away from my company. It is difficult to be happy in the days of wandering, so I naturally want to return to my old home."
Xu Tianna looked at him with a smile and said: "Your reasons are sufficient, both subjective and objective."
"That's natural, I always do things in a methodical way."
"Don't you think you are too much? Who forces others to rent out a house like this?" Xu Tianna still spoke patiently.
Su Ran pretended to be angry and said, "Is it too much? Otherwise, I will call my friends immediately and let them judge and see who is more excessive. To be honest, you are like the bully bandit in the past, bullying the lives of poor people like us with money."
Xu Tianna finally lost her patience, picked up her handbag from the table, stood up and said, "I don't have time to chat with you. I will never rent this house to you. Don't dream about it anymore."
Su Ran hurriedly followed Xu Tianna out of the noodle shop, wanting to discuss with her again, hoping to properly resolve the house issue tonight.
Xu Tianna was afraid that Su Ran would catch up, so she hurried her steps, and her high heels knocked on the concrete floor, making a "dengdeng" sound. Su Ran followed closely, took a few big steps, and stood in front of Xu Tianna, blocking her way, and asked in a threatening tone: "Are you going to rent it or not?"
Before he finished speaking, Su Ran's stomach was suddenly hit by a heavy hammer, and a sharp pain came over him, causing him to cover his abdomen and squat down instantly. He had not eaten a grain of rice all day today, and just now he had overeaten. How could his stomach, which was already not in good condition, withstand such a torment?
Xu Tianna took the opportunity to bypass him, as if she didn't care whether he lived or died.
"How can you be so cruel, woman? I have an unbearable stomachache, and you have the heart to watch me suffer?"
Xu Tianna stopped and looked back at him: "Why, you want to use the self-torture trick again? I have made it clear to you that the house will not be rented to you."
Su Ran was twitching with pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xu Tianna finally returned to his side, squatted down to check, and asked with doubt: "What's wrong with you?"
"Didn't I just tell you that I have a stomachache. How can you be so embarrassed to watch you die without helping? Last time when you had a fever, I repaid you with kindness and made ginger soup for you and bought medicine for you. Don't forget it." Su Ran frowned and said with a distorted face.
"You are still so fussy now. Didn't I say I wouldn't help you? I'll call an ambulance now." Xu Tianna said as she took out her mobile phone from her handbag.
"Which strange planet did you come from? Don't you even have this common sense? I just have a stomachache, why do I need to call an ambulance? There is a pharmacy a hundred meters to the right across the road. Go buy those quick-acting chewable tablets for stomachache. I can chew two tablets to relieve it."
Xu Tianna glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "You are in such a state, can't you say less and save some strength. Forget it, I'll go now, you wait here."
Su Ran grinned and said, "Go quickly and come back quickly, I'm about to lose my mind in pain."
Xu Tianna nodded in agreement, and then ran quickly across the road. Su Ran looked at her back and sat on the ground weakly. Another wave of severe pain came like a tide. He thought to himself that although the stomachache came suddenly this time, it seemed to be an opportunity. I wonder if it can resolve the stalemate between him and Xu Tianna? On the way to buy medicine, Xu Tianna couldn't help but reflect on whether she and Su Ran were too persistent in their entanglement, and whether there was really no way to find a compromise solution. The two of them had their own thoughts. At this moment when illness and contradictions were intertwined, the future direction became more and more confusing, just like the path in the fog, no one knew where it would lead.
