Chapter 113: 然然離家出走了
[Ran Ran away from home]

Lin Ran froze for a while before coming back to his senses, he picked it up and looked at it, and then looked at the ones below it, they are some small things, there are pens, handkerchiefs, and number plates, and at the bottom of them are two photos.

Lin Ran’s heart inexplicably had some confusion, his hands unconsciously trembled, but still slowly picked up the photos.

On the top of the photo were two smiling faces, the owners of the two faces were very familiar to him, they were Song Zhixu and his brother.

“Song Zhi Xu, with his brother …” Lin Ran put down the box and looked seriously at the photo in his hand, because it was a head-and-shoulders photo (esp. a formal one used in a passport, ID card etc), the person on top was very clear, and there was another one underneath it, it was the back of two people walking together.

Even if it was just a back view, Lin Ran could instantly recognise that it was Song Zhi Xu and Lin Mu.

His body seemed to have suddenly lost its strength. Song Zhixu rarely showed too many smiles, and even when he smiled at him, it was often a light smile, but in this photo, the smile almost took up all of Song Zhixu’s face.

Lin Ran suddenly thought of the photo of Song Zhi Xu kissing his brother on Mu Qingting’s computer last time, Song Zhi Xu said he was very familiar with his brother.

Lin Ran’s eyes reddened without him realizing it, and he only came back to his senses when tears were dripping down his face.

Lin Ran put away the paper box, hurriedly stood up from the ground to go back to the bedroom, ripped open the quilt, pounced on the bed to cover himself again.

Did Song Zhi Xu like his brother? He kissed his brother before, took photos together, and hid his brother’s things in a box under the bed.

So the person he likes is Gege?

Lin Ran didn’t know how long he stayed under the quilt, and the child in his stomach kicked hard as if it sensed his distress.

Lin Ran’s stomach ached, and he looked down and gently touched it again. He got up from the bed and went downstairs to get his mobile phone, wanting to call Song Zhixu.

Lin Ran never hid from Song Zhixu, found the photo, his heart sad; his first thought was to ask Song Zhixu.

After retrieving the mobile phone and sitting on the bed, Lin Ran dialled Song Zhixu’s number. The phone rang several times before Song Zhixu picked it up, and Song Zhixu’s slightly lowered voice came from inside.

“Ran Ran? What’s wrong?”

Song Zhixu is having a meeting, there are still co-operators sitting opposite, he can not leave, but is also afraid of not answering the phone. Lin Ran probably has something, so he can only slightly tilt his head, connect the phone.

“Song Zhi Xu …” Lin Ran bit his lip and asked in a small voice, “Do you like… Ran Ran’s brother?”

The meeting was still introducing this cooperation, Song Zhixu did not hear Lin Ran’s words, but only vaguely heard Lin Ran say “Gege.”

He thought for a moment and said: “Ran Ran, are you thinking about your brother? If you miss him, you can give him a call, he will answer.”

“No… No.” Lin Ran still wanted to explain but was interrupted by Song Zhi Xu.

“Ran Ran, I have something going on right now, I’ll talk about it later when I get home, okay?”

Song Zhixu was in a meeting with the partners, Song Zhixu couldn’t keep calling, he could only softly pacify Lin Ran first.

Lin Ran’s eyes again floated on a layer of fog, the other end of Song Zhi Xu had already hung up the phone.

Lin Ran sat on the bed for a while, and suddenly saw the clothes on the balcony that he had washed and dried yesterday, and he suddenly stupefied.

Because Lin Ran doesn’t know how to use a dryer, he always washes his clothes by hand and hangs them on the shelf on the balcony. He stood up, walked over and picked up the clothes, and put them on his body, regardless of the fact that they weren’t dry yet.

This is the last time he and Song Zhixu went to pick up his brother. In the car, borrow his brother’s clothes, at that time this joke, now all surfaced.

He is very much like his brother, Lin Ran walked in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at the person inside, ignoring his red eyes, trying to imitate his brother’s smile, looking at the mirror for a long time, he really looked like his brother.

Gege said that they are brothers, that is, they should look like each other.

So Song Zhi Xu, also because he and brother look alike? Song Zhi Xu clearly likes his brother. He saw Song Zhi Xu many times secretly calling his brother on the phone, not allowing him to hear.

Lin Ran heart more and more sad,
before he did not put this matter on his heart, as if pouring beans, so it’s generally welling up, Lin Ran climbed back into bed, covered with the quilt and crying out.

Song Zhixu starts the meeting, under the table to look at the monitoring, Lin Ran lying on the bed covered with a quilt, this will be exactly Lin Ran nap time, so he should be sleeping.

Song Zhixu then turned off the mobile phone and seriously started the meeting.

Lin Ran lay on the bed and cried until he couldn’t cry. He got up from the bed, found a small suitcase and started to pack his things, but it was just a simple packing of his clothes, and also the money that his brother had given him before.

He was afraid to go out, but now he just wanted to find his brother, tell his brother about this, maybe his brother also likes Song Zhixu, then he should not dominate Song Zhixu.

Lin Ran packed up his things, and took off his jacket, which was still a bit wet, and put it on the bed and covered it with a quilt.

He wore a thick suit, took the suitcase and carried his shoulder bag out the door.

The road in the villa area, Song Zhixu every night to take him to walk again, so he will not go wrong, to find the fastest road, out of the villa area, and then walk alone on the road.

The taxi driver passed by and saw Lin Ran carrying his luggage, so he stopped beside him and opened the window to ask,

“Sir, would you like a taxi?”

Lin Ran was shocked by the sudden voice, and took several steps back before looking over timidly.

Biting his lip and hesitating for a while, Lin Ran nodded.

He remembered that last time, he had to take a car to get to the airport.

In the car, Lin Ran tries to lock his eyes to the corner, away from the driver, talking in a small voice: “Ran Ran… Ran Ran is going to the airport.”

“Okay.” The driver glanced back, Lin Ran’s eyes were still a little red and swollen. He thought, which family’s young master with the family quarrel ran out, however he did not ask, directly drove to the airport.

Lin Ran’s body has been tense. Arriving at the airport, he took out money from the bag to pay the taxy, and then entered the airport, bought a ticket to Haicheng. He was quite lucky, waiting for twenty minutes on the plane.

Song Zhixu in the company, added more shifts. He worried that Lin Ran would be hungry at home and speed up the car to drive back.

But when he opened the door of the villa, Song Zhixu didn’t see Lin Ran’s figure, and he uncertainly called “Ran Ran” a few times yet he did not get any response.

Song Zhixu inexplicably tightened his heart, and quickly ran upstairs. No one in the bedroom. He lifted the quilt, under the quilt only Lin Ran’s jacket and his mobile phone.

Song Zhixu was relieved, Lin Ran didn’t bring his mobile phone, he should be hiding in a corner and fall asleep again, he opened the wardrobe in the room, he didn’t see Lin Ran, so he went out of the bedroom to look for him in other places.

Song Zhixu searched around the villa and couldn’t find anything, until he found the last guest room on the first floor, and only when he saw the cardboard box on the floor and the photos scattered on the side did he finally start to panic.

Looking at the photo of himself and Lin Mu leaning together and smiling, Song Zhixu can not remember when the photo was taken.

But Lin Ran should have seen it, and might have mistaken it for something and ran out.

Song Zhixu subconsciously took out his mobile phone to call Lin Ran, but before he could call out, he remembered that Lin Ran’s mobile phone was not with him, and he hurriedly went to look at the wardrobe, and sure enough, there were only a few pieces of clothing missing, and the suitcases were gone, Lin Ran’s clothes were too much, and he hurriedly had just looked at it yet hedidn’t even notice it.

Song Zhixu went to the study room, called up the daytime surveillance, watched the surveillance all over again, and wished he could give himself a few slaps.

When Lin Ran called him during the day, he was crying with red eyes, but he didn’t even hear it on his mobile phone.

He saw Lin Ran changing clothes, then pulled the suitcase out of the door, now the sky is already dark. After a few hours he did not know where Lin Ran went out.

Song Zhixu ran to the security room to adjust the monitoring. Seeing Lin Ran alone out of the district, remembered Lin Ran last time from Haicheng himself by plane to find him, he immediately called the airport to determine Lin Ran is sitting in the plane to Haicheng, and the plane, about an hour and a half ago has landed, his heart is tightened again.

After hanging up the phone, Song Zhi Xu quickly called Lin Mu again and told him to go find Lin Ran.

“You mean Ran Ran made another flight to HaiCheng to look for me?” Lin Mu violently got up from the bed and subconsciously looked at the man beside him who had not yet woken up, “But … But I’m not in the country right now, and no one has lived there in the old mansion for a long time.”

Since he and Xiao Zhengnan were together, Lin Mu lived with Xiao Zhengnan there. He did not go back to his old mansion for a long time, he is now abroad while Xiao Zhengnan’s parents are there too.

After thinking about it Lin Mu added: “You are closer than I am, you take a plane to find him quickly, I will look at the surveillance if he’s there or not, at the entrance of the old mansion, and then let the security guards go and look.”

“Okay, thanks.” Song Zhixu replied, hung up the phone and drove to the airport.

Before arriving at the airport, he received a phone call from Lin Mu, who quickly said on the phone.

“I saw Lin Ran on the monitor. He stood in front of the front door of the old house. I do not know for how long. Now I have already let the security come there, I will also immediately go to the airport, fly back.”

Song Zhixu breathed a sigh of relief, drove to the airport, but the last flight to Haicheng just flew away not long ago, the next flight will take an hour, he can only wait.

On the other hand, Lin Ran lying in the courtyard door of the old house to look inside, still no one there.

He had been standing here for a long time, and his brother hadn’t come back even when it was dark.

He touched his stomach, because he walked too much, his stomach already had some slight pain, the corners of his forehead also oozing cold sweat.

Waiting for a while, Lin Ran sensitively perceived that there were footsteps to his side, he subconsciously looked for a tree and went behind its shadows to hide.

He saw a man, standing in the doorway where he just stood and looked for a while, seemed to be looking for something, yet he did not find it and then left.

Lin Ran did not dare to continue to wait here, he fumbled to the area outside the villa, not knowing how many turns, he found an exit and drilled out to the road and pulled the suitcase in one direction to go.

Lin Ran didn’t know how long he had walked, until his legs were numb and his stomach hurt as much as it did when he finally couldn’t hold on any longer, and squatted down on the ground, crying out in a muffled voice.

He was so afraid of being alone outside.

After crying for a long time, a car stopped in front of Lin Ran, and a voice came from above his head,

“Whose child is it? Why are you crying here in the middle of the night?”
