I once died for you, and I live because of you

When the two arrived in the room, the surroundings instantly fell silent, and Gu Ran felt as if she had just awakened from a dream

Gu Ran, in a moment of desperation, covered her face and hid under the table

Having finished speaking, Su Nan strode out of the room and slammed the door shut.

There were reporters at the entrance. Before Gu Ran had the chance to cry, she saw a tall, unfamiliar man quickly walking towards her, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for them to hear.

Gu Ran's breathing became somewhat rapid, as she had already seen the black leather shoes stopped in front of her, yet she dared not go out, nor even lift her head.

When Gu Ran saw Su Nan, she was in the process of gulping down a mouthful of juice. Startled, she choked on the juice and coughed, her face turning bright red. She looked around, trying to find a place to hide, but before she could regain her composure, the person was already right in front of her

The fact that she is still alive is already the best gift bestowed upon him by heaven, how could he not be happy

After feeling wronged, Gu Ran felt somewhat embarrassed again. She did not know how others would react when encountering their ex-boyfriends, but she was certain that it would not be as pathetic as hiding under the table like she did

If this person was once the vermilion mole on your heart, and you lived like a walking corpse for six years for her, yet she is perfectly fine, unscathed, even ordering a table full of delicious dishes at a hotel, not only eating with great relish but also occasionally laughing heartily at other men, appearing utterly carefree, what should your reaction be

Su Nan, however, feigned ignorance and suddenly strode forward. He walked with such urgency, as if with one more moment's delay, he would lose the cherished treasure in his heart.

She looked up in a daze and immediately saw Su Nan standing in front of her. He was wearing a well-tailored custom suit, still as handsome as ever, making it hard for anyone to look away. However, only she knew that beneath his calm and composed expression, there was actually a raging fury hidden within.

It is simply a disgrace to women

Is it possible to call such behavior, like hiding under the table as soon as one sees him, happiness?

Gu Ran felt somewhat embarrassed and hesitated for a while before speaking, "This isn't appropriate, Zhao Zhao has already booked a room for me"

Su Nan glanced at her expressionlessly and said, "Gu Ran, you really don't even blink when you tell a lie."

Gu Ran felt a twinge of bitterness in her heart, and a thin mist appeared in her eyes

Feeling frustrated, her wrist was suddenly grasped by someone. That person had a pair of clear, fiery eyes, and there was a hint of gritted teeth in their voice: "I am giving you a chance to explain"

What should one’s reaction be upon encountering a person who is rumored to be dead

You are not allowed to go anywhere; you will sleep here tonight

"Zhao Zhao, didn't we agree to go shopping together?" Gu Ran exclaimed upon seeing her, while subtly signaling to Qin Zhao.

Luo Lan looked towards Su Nan's direction, where a couple sat in the distance. The man had his back to him, obscuring his features, while the woman was strikingly beautiful, with bright, expressive eyes that sparkled like the stars in the sky. At that moment, she was laughing heartily, completely losing her composure, yet she appeared exceptionally charming.

Qin Yu was somewhat at a loss, looking at the smirking Qin Zhao.

A slightly hoarse voice resonated from above, carrying a long-lost familiarity, still as pleasant as ever, yet seemingly imbued with a touch of weariness. Gu Ran's heart trembled, hesitating to look up, yet still afraid, even though she herself did not know what exactly she was afraid of

As soon as the words fell, she was enveloped in a warm embrace; he held her tightly, the force almost taking her breath away. She heard his suppressed voice ringing in her ear: "I am so happy, truly happy"

What if a solitary man and woman are alone in a room and she cannot control herself? Engaging in frivolous behavior with an ex-boyfriend is something she is still capable of doing

She raised her head, gathered her courage to look directly at Su Nan, and said: "I am very happy to meet you today"

Su Nan fell silent for a moment, releasing Gu Ran, but his right hand tightly held onto hers. He glanced at Luo Lan, then turned to Gu Ran and said: "Let us return to the room first"

"Hey, Ranran, what's wrong? Did something fall under the table?" Qin Yu, who was sitting opposite her, asked in confusion.

Gu Ran was lost in thought for a long time, then looked around the spacious and luxurious room, and realized: where one sleeps is still sleeping, not to mention she had never slept in a presidential suite before

Saying this, Qin Zhao pulled Qin Yu away from the seat

Gu Ran felt a bit dazed, and then she heard the sound of a key turning. Her heart sank, and she hurried to the door, tugging at the doorknob, only to find it unyielding. She was somewhat stunned; why did he lock the door?

"No, no, no... I'm coming out right now..." Gu Ran heard this and immediately became anxious, hastily trying to climb out. In her rush, she bumped her head against the table, covering her head in pain and grimacing. Suddenly, she noticed a bright light in front of her—the table had been moved.

They are all ex-boyfriends, why is she still fantasizing? Gu Ran secretly despised herself a little.

"What happened?" Luo Lan, a colleague, asked curiously upon seeing the turbulent waves in Su Nan's eyes

She had imagined that they would reunite and had envisioned many scenarios, but she never expected that when they actually met, she would still be as unaccomplished as before. Clearly, she had done nothing wrong, yet she still did not have the courage to face him

Luo Lan was contemplating when Su Nan had already pulled Gu Ran into the room. Just as he was about to follow, the main door slammed shut with a "bang." Luo Lan covered his nose, which was nearly bleeding, and cursed in pain, "Su Nan, you scoundrel who forgets his friends for the sake of beauty!"

Gu Ran's face was somewhat distorted, not afraid of a god-like opponent, but afraid of pig-like teammates, would it kill him not to call her by her name

However, Qin Zhao did not grasp her meaning at all; instead, he feigned a puzzled expression and said, "Is that so? You must be mistaken. Well, I won't say more, my mother is calling us home for dinner..."

Gu Ran felt somewhat wronged; was she not trying to avoid causing him any distress?

Qin Yu and Su Nan were both stunned by her shamelessness

Su Nan took a deep breath and then waved to the waiter, saying, "Please move this table."

Gu Ran pretended to be nonchalant as she took a step forward, hoping to seize the opportunity to break free from Su Nan's grip. However, before she could take a second step, she was forcefully pulled back by Su Nan.

The mere thought of this made him wish he could strangle her with his own hands

Su Nan fixed his gaze on her; from the moment he first saw her, his eyes had not left her. This person had occupied his thoughts for so many years, and he had yearned for her for so long. He had once believed that he would never have the chance to see her again in this lifetime. Yet, it turned out that all the sadness he had endured over the years was nothing but a joke, a deception.

After finishing his words, Su Nan hurriedly pulled Gu Ran into the elevator, heading straight to the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel

Qin Zhao turned her head and glanced at her, and that look clearly conveyed: "Sister, I am unable to help, you must rely on your own fortune"

She turned her head, making an effort to adjust her expression into a fairly perfect smile, looking at Su Nan, and said: "Well, what a coincidence..."

Su Nan did not know how others would react, only that his heart went from shock to ecstasy, then to anger, like a roller coaster, dying and then coming back to life

Gu Ran's face twisted once again—indeed, unreliable friends are to be counted on.

Qin Zhao! Gu Ran glared, how could this guy act like this? Isn't this disregarding her?

Sister, shall we just leave like this?

Gu Ran also realized that her wording was problematic, so she quietly added, "I am still alive, shouldn't you be happy for me?"

What kind of ridiculous metaphor is this? Su Nan's face darkened immediately

Someone seems to be thinking about committing murder, it would be best for us not to get involved in such a bloody scene... Qin Zhao chuckled a couple of times

Gu Ran clearly sensed his "killing intent". She shivered slightly, immediately displaying a look of grievance, and softly said: "Although we have broken up, as the saying goes, business is not about feelings..."

Gu Ran nervously rolled her eyes, and suddenly caught sight of her friend Qin Zhao returning from the restroom, her eyes instantly brightening. She steeled herself to ignore Su Nan's piercing gaze and turned her attention towards Qin Zhao, saying: "Well, Zhao Zhao is back, I will go to the restroom..."

... ...

She had to face reality

Little did she know that as soon as she finished speaking, Su Nan's expression darkened. He pulled her directly into the master bedroom and glared at her fiercely, saying: "I told you, you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Luo Lan followed behind the two of them, thoughtfully observing their tightly clasped hands. Today's Su Nan truly took him by surprise; if captured by reporters, it would likely send shockwaves throughout the entire music industry

"Gu Ran, come out." Su Nan never expected that Gu Ran's first reaction upon seeing him would be to hide. He was instantly filled with rage, but he still managed to keep his composure and called out through gritted teeth.

It was clearly he who said—Gu Ran, I hope I never have to see you again in this lifetime

So she fell silent for a while, and, with a guilty conscience, denied, "You have mistaken the person... I am not Gu Ran..."

But what is there for him to be angry about

Gu Ran was being pulled by Su Nan, her head feeling dizzy, his hand tightly wrapped around hers, so warm, just like before. She recalled the two thousand days and nights in America, remembered the long and cold six winters, and she longed for a hand that could bring her warmth.

Qin Yu was somewhat bewildered by this scene and was about to speak up to intervene when he saw Qin Zhao, who was with Su Nan, rush forward in a single stride, blocking Qin Yu. Then, with a radiant smile directed at Su Nan, he said: "What a coincidence, Su Nan, you and Ran Ran haven't seen each other for a long time, have you? We won't disturb you any longer"

Gu Ran coughed twice in a guilty manner and Gu changed the subject, saying, "It is getting late, I will return to my room first"

When he is a fool
