Chapter 46 Alienation
"Little Qiao, are you okay!" Zhu Liyun asked worriedly looking at Mu Ran who was always in a daze.

"Ah, I'm ok!" Mu Ran came back to her senses, saw that Zhu Liyun had finished her meal, and immediately put down the knife and fork and said, "I'm done eating, let's go back!"

The way back was a secluded path with luxuriant trees on both sides and sparse white light from the street lamps. Many couples were holding hands and walking on the road.

There were a few evenings when Yan Peicheng took Mu Ran's hand and passed by this road, so he was considered a close couple by others!But now, the two women who are full of worries, with their own secrets in their hearts, walk together on this path that seems to have suddenly become long.Two lonely hearts, just go on like this, a path of their own choice.

Back at the homestay, before returning to their respective rooms, Zhu Liyun said to Mu Ran meaningfully: "Little Qiao, I can tell from your eyes that you are a woman with many stories. Do you want to talk? Maybe if you tell the third person what's on your mind, you'll feel a lot more relaxed and less depressed. I've told you so much today, and I'm in a much better mood now."

Mu Ran nodded. Sometimes, her heart is so dull and depressing that she almost suffocates. For example, now, her heart is aching, maybe she also needs to talk!
"I hope you have a lot of gains today. Sister wishes you happiness." Zhu Liyun had more things to say to Mu Ran, but she hesitated to speak, turning it into the simplest blessing.

"I will." Mu Ran thought, she can treat herself better, she doesn't want to repeat the tragedy of Zhu Liyun.

Mu Ran entered the room, unloaded her satchel, and casually threw the bag full of handicrafts that she picked up today on the table.After taking a shower, I lay on the bed, but I never closed my eyes.

As the night deepened, Yan Peicheng still didn't come back, Mu Ran seemed to be used to being hugged by him to sleep, and tossed and turned on the bed alone, unable to fall asleep.She scolded herself in her heart for being cheap. It's only been a few days, and she has relied on him so much. If he returns to the bustling city in a few days, when he has countless women and most of them can't take care of her, won't she have insomnia all night? up!
Mu Ran forced herself to close her eyes, but at this moment, there was the sound of the door opening.

Yan Peicheng pushed the door open and entered the room, but the first time he saw colorful things were thrown messily on the wooden table, he couldn't help picking up a few and looked at them, a smile that he didn't even notice was raised at the corner of his mouth.It turned out that this was what she gained from shopping all day today.

A men's wallet fell into his sight. He picked it up and opened it in surprise. There was even a photo inside. In the photo, she had a rare smile on her face. She couldn't even open her eyes, but she became the most beautiful scenery among the ancient wooden houses on the street.

Yan Peicheng reluctantly closed the wallet, put the wallet back on the table, walked to the big bed in the house, climbed up, hugged the soft bed on the bed, and kept rubbing against the back of her neck.

Mu Ran's sensitive nose smelled the unfamiliar scent of shower gel on the man behind him, and suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. She moved her body outside, but still did not move out of his surroundings.

"Where did you go to play today? Did you have fun? What did you gain?" With a force on his arm, he pulled her closer to him.

He wanted her to be in his arms, telling him about the whole day's experience, sharing every moment of happiness and sorrow with him.However, she couldn't arouse the slightest interest, and said in a general way: "Nothing special, just went to a village for a stroll."

"Have you gained nothing all day? There is nothing to share with me?" His lips came to her shoulders, with an indomitable look. Today he is like a child, entangled with her.

After Mu Ran sighed, she turned over to face him, and told him Zhu Liyun's story. Seeing his silence for a while, she said, "Tell me, isn't it common for a woman to fall in love with a man she shouldn't love?" Is this a kind of sadness? And after holding on to the love in my heart for so many years, I still can't see any results, isn't it a greater sadness? There are very few such stupid women in this world, don't you think?"

Mu Ran didn't know whether Yan Peicheng was moved by such a love, but she knew that he felt something in his heart, so that he didn't say a word for a long time, until Mu Ran gave up waiting for him to talk about his views At the time, he said: "It's quite stupid, what a stupid woman."

Mu Ran was a little disappointed, she actually expected him to be touched by such a love. A man like him has a heart harder than a rock, and he won't melt for a certain woman!She would not overreach herself and hope that this man would change for herself. In his heart, she was far from qualified.

After another long silence, he asked, "Did you bring me a gift today?"

It was only then that Mu Ran remembered that she had bought a wallet for this man, but there was no need to give it away now.

"With your status, if you don't have anything, how can those ordinary things in the market catch your eyes!" Mu Ran said indifferently.

Yan Peicheng's eyes suddenly darkened. Doesn't this woman know the word "heart"?It's true that he doesn't want anything, but what else does he want that he can easily get?
"Didn't you have a better time without my interruption all day long? Am I that annoying to you?" He was overwhelmed by her lukewarm attitude and her words of teasing people to death Arouse the anger of the heart.He wished he could crush this woman.

Mu Ran sneered and said, "Didn't you call me all day long?"

"If I don't call you, you won't call me, right?"

Mu Ran felt sad for a while, originally she wanted to call him and ask if he would like to have dinner together, but he already has a beautiful woman as his companion, how could she bother him!

"..." Mu Ran didn't say a word, turned her back to Yan Peicheng, and closed her eyes.

Yan Peicheng became even more angry. He straightened Mu Ran's body, turned over and sat on her, and stared at her angrily.Every time she looked so tepid, it always drove him crazy, wishing he could strangle her to death.

After the two confronted each other for half the salary, he finally couldn't do anything, got out of bed discouraged, put on his clothes and said, "When will you woman have a heart! Haven't I treated you well these days? I'm so angry with you for some reason, the woman really It's not something you can't get used to!"

Yan Peicheng slammed the door and left angrily. How many times he was driven away by her like this, she is really capable!
Yan Peicheng didn't come back all night, Mu Ran didn't expect much from him, he always had somewhere to go, maybe that woman was waiting for him after washing, unlike her, she was boring and unrefined.

The next day, he didn't come back all day, nor did he call her, and he didn't see anyone until the evening.

On the third day, Mu Ran returned to the B&B after lunch. He was sitting in the room, with several cigarette butts lying in the ashtray, probably sitting alone for a long time.

"Have you eaten?" Mu Ran asked him.

"Yes." He answered briefly.

The two of them seemed to have nothing more to say, Mu Ran walked past him without saying a word, and climbed into bed to take a nap.

After more than ten minutes, he stood up, walked to the closet, took some clothes, then stared at a corner of the closet for a long time, finally put the men's wallet in his pocket, and looked at Mu Ran lying on the bed. After a while, he walked out of the room.

On this day, Mu Ran finished dinner alone, went to the bar where she met the band that day, went crazy with them for two hours, and then dragged her lonely figure back home.

Passing by the beach, there were many people having a carnival. When they got closer, Mu Ran realized that it was a small reception. Because there were a few Chinese faces, Mu Ran sat aside and paid more attention.However, at this time, two people walked over, they walked by her side, and did not see her.

The man puts his arm around the woman's waist, the handsome man and the beautiful woman are a perfect match, dazzling the passers-by.They approached the reveling crowd intimately, immediately eliciting cheers.

Mu Ran got up and left quietly.

When Mu Ran returned to the B&B, many people gathered at the door, and there were even policemen. Mu Ran quickly ran over and asked a bystander, "What happened?"

"He's dead, he left peacefully in bed." The man shook his head and sighed.

Mu Ran quickly pushed aside the crowd and went in, seeing two people carrying a person out of Zhu Liyun's room, Mu Ran wanted to go over and lift the white cloth to have a look, but was stopped by someone.

Mu Ran was stunned, standing there without moving for a long time.

She died, she left safely like this, she was finally free, is that so?
Mu Ran remembered Zhu Liyun telling her the story of the lighthouse, is this the limit she can bear?She was tired, so ended everything like this.

Mu Ran thought she was a strong woman, but she didn't know what was the last straw that broke the camel's back, maybe it was a call from that man, maybe it was the extinguishing of the lighthouse in her heart...

After she left, Mu Ran was shivering while sitting alone in the room. She had told her the day before that she wanted to hear her story, so she found her best audience, but she left and had no chance.

It's been a long time since I felt like this. Mu Ran felt that she was very fragile, so fragile that she needed a hug to support herself. She called Yan Peicheng, but no one answered the call.

Mu Ran sneered, she was too naive, he was never a man she could rely on... She thought too much.It's just that she is too helpless, but she needs a hug.

That night, Mu Ran completely suffered from insomnia. She didn't close her eyes until it was almost dawn. Her dream was full of scenes of Zhu Liyun jumping off the lighthouse.

In the morning, when the sun bathed the entire village, Mu Ran opened her eyes, feeling powerless.Last night, she felt drowsy as if she had fallen asleep, but her mind was messed up and she didn't really fall asleep at all.
