how far is Forever

Chapter 13

01
Jiang Chuan and Yan Lele, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of me and smiled wickedly at me. I looked at Jiang Chuan and knew that he must have bad intentions.

"Ruoruo, Lele's birthday is coming, she held a birthday party at their house, you must come!" Jiang Chuan said, pulling my sleeve.

I glanced at him: "Jiang Chuan, what's your expression, it's disgusting."

His expression was almost flattering: "You must come, cover me."

"What do you mean?"

"Luo Yan can't come because of something. Song Junmu's background is too chaotic. Lele doesn't want to invite me, so I'm the only boy left. If you don't come, Lele's parents will know something! You come After I got it, I can tell everyone that I pestered you and let you take it with me, so no one would find it strange that we are childhood sweethearts."

"Pfft—you can think of such a far-fetched reason, and I was defeated by you." Jiang Chuan was indeed Jiang Chuan, and the reason he came up with was the same as his, without any technical content.

I nodded and agreed, and Yan Lele hugged Jiang Chuan happily: "Great, if Su Ruo agrees to help, you can come to my house to celebrate my birthday with me in a fair manner."

"Yes!"

Seeing the smiles on their faces, I, an outsider, was infected and laughed from the bottom of my heart.

On Yan Lele's birthday, I called Jiang Chuan early in the morning to ask him when he was going to leave the house. We went together, and I felt a little weird going alone.

"Jiang Chuan, what are you doing? You asked me to go and you didn't go?" I almost ran away when I heard him say that I couldn't go for the time being. Go, but he actually told me that he couldn't go there for the time being due to something!

"I really have something to do so I can't go for the time being. You go first, and I'll be there later." Jiang Chuan said soft words to me.

"Today is your girlfriend's birthday, and you are late, aren't you afraid that she will kill you?"

"My family, Lele, is not you!" Jiang Chuan stopped suddenly, and said in a different sentence, "Actually, this matter is also for Lele, Su Ruo, I know you are the best, so go and help me with it first."

It was a long time later that I found out that the reason why Jiang Chuan was busy that day was because Yan Lele said that she wanted to watch the fireworks at the birthday party.The place where their family lives is not allowed to set off fireworks, Jiang Chuan is busy for her to see it.

"Then I'll go first, you remember to go there early."

"Understood Miss, I promise I will rush over there in time." Jiang Chuan's voice was playful and he looked very happy.Hearing his pleasure, I was not as angry as I was at first.

Yan Lele's home is a villa facing the river. The architectural style has the unique romantic feelings of the Mediterranean. It is surrounded by fiery red roses. The afternoon sun shines on the path in the garden. I feel unreal when I walk on it. Feel.

I followed Yan Lele into the party scene, and everything around me was dumbfounded again. Gorgeousness is not the point, the point is that there are people in dresses everywhere, and I am the only one wearing jeans. I feel like a funny clown, Can't wait to find a place to hide in.

Yan Lele smiled and took my hand and said, "It's okay, they are business friends of my parents and their children, and here, only you are my best friend."

Hearing what she said, I felt a little relieved, and followed Yan Lele in the crowd. I heard other people's whispers and saw other people's eyes on me, but it didn't matter, I was here to participate My friend's birthday party is not theirs. What they say has nothing to do with me.

"Lele, is this your classmate?" A girl holding a glass of red wine asked Yan Lele.

Yan Lele tightened my hand and said with a smile, "This is my best friend Su Ruo."

"Best friend!" The man looked me up and down, with a mocking smile on his lips, "Ha ha."

Yan Lele pulled me away from the "ground of right and wrong", and comforted me and said, "Su Ruo, don't bother with them, I just admit that you are my good friend. Let's go, I'll show you something."

Yan Lele pulled me into her room. One room of hers was bigger than my entire family. She showed me many birthday presents. Among them was a very beautiful necklace, a top-quality pearl necklace. , there is also a beautiful pendant below.

Yan Lele said: "This is a gift from my parents, and it was custom-made by a famous designer."

I couldn't help but sigh: "This must be very expensive?"

Yan Lele smiled: "I don't know!" She handed the necklace in front of me and said, "Would you like to try it on, it's very beautiful."

Before I could refuse, Yan Lele had already walked up behind me and put the pearl necklace around my neck: "Look, I'll just say it's beautiful." She took the mirror, and the necklace was really beautiful, but it didn't fit I have the temperament of a commoner.

"Lele, aunt let you go out for a while." A girl came in and said with a disdainful glance at me.

"Okay, Su Ruo, I'll go out first, and I'll be back in a while."

I nodded and watched Yan Lele walk out of the room happily. When she walked to the door, she looked back at me with a smile that couldn't be concealed in her eyes.

I took off the necklace and put it in the brocade box, and touched the necklace around my neck with my fingers. It is not expensive, it is not comparable to any precious gemstones, and it is not designed by a well-known designer, but it was given to me by Su Luoyan. It is the real priceless treasure.I love it more than that expensive necklace.

"You are Su Ruo, right? Lele let you go down." The girl walked in again, she still didn't look good towards me, her face was full of disgust, "Don't dawdle, let's go!"

I followed the girl downstairs, and there were many people standing in the living room downstairs. Everyone was drinking and drinking, and Lele was surrounded by it, like a princess.

Everyone was polite to each other, and no one noticed me in the corner. I hid in the corner with a plate, eating exquisite cakes, and looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window.

As the wind blows, the red roses at night are so gorgeous that they almost drip water, lingering in the coldness of the night, the branches sway, and several petals dance, flying past the window, out of the garden, and into the sky, brilliant for a while.

"what--"

Suddenly, I heard Lele's scream. I was worried that something might happen to her, so I hurriedly put down the cake and squeezed into the crowd: "Lele, are you okay?"

"Su Ruo, my necklace is gone, the necklace my parents gave me is gone." She grabbed my arm and said anxiously.

"Necklace? I remember I put it in the brocade box in your room, why did it disappear?"

She shook her head helplessly: "I don't know, I don't know."

"Don't pretend to be a good person, it must be you, I remember seeing that necklace around your neck." The girl who asked me to go out suddenly stood up and said with a sneer.

"Fortunately, Lele treats her as a good friend. It's really shameless for her to do something sneaky."

"Don't talk nonsense, Su Ruo won't, won't..." Yan Lele stopped them from saying anything that would hurt me.

I looked at her with some gratitude, but she avoided my sight.

I don't know who said it first: "Call the police."

"Yes, then call the police." Others echoed.

Of course, this group of rich people will not wait for the police to arrive. The girl walked up to me and asked arrogantly, "Is that you?"

I shook my head: "No."

"Then do you dare to let us search you?"

"Xiaoxiao, don't make trouble, I believe it's not Su Ruo." Yan Lele stopped the girl, still speaking for me.

"You can find out if you do a search, right?" The girl named Xiaoxiao didn't seem to want to let me go at all. Before I agreed, she had already started, and I didn't even stop her.

I was stunned, Xiaoxiao was holding that necklace in her hand, I turned my head to look at Yan Lele, she looked at me incredulously, stepped back two steps and asked: "Su Ruo, why is it you?"

"Lele, you believe me, it's really not me."

My explanation became feeble, and people around me started whispering, and some even said shamelessly loudly.I feel like the world is collapsing, how this is happening, I don't know, not at all.

02
Until I sat in the police station and was interrogated, I still didn't know what happened.

I kept repeating "I didn't steal" over and over and they didn't believe it.

Yes, how could they believe that the necklace really appeared in my pocket, there is no way to argue.

"Su Ruo."

I looked up, Song Junmu was standing at the door panting, seeing me, he strode to me.

Tears of grievance poured down: "Song Junmu..."

"It's okay, I have everything, you just need to tell the truth." He held my hand, and at that moment my world saw a glimmer of light.

Afterwards, everyone except Ji Nuannuan came. The first thing Jiang Chuan did when he entered the door was Yan Lele who rushed towards him. If, why?"

I also want to know why, but who can give me an answer.

"Su Ruo, is that you?"

I didn't expect that Su Luoyan's first words when he saw me were this.

I looked at him in surprise, thinking that I had an illusion, my brother, my dearest brother, actually asked me if I was a thief?Doesn't he know me best?Could it be that in his mind I am that kind of greedy and bad girl?

Song Junmu stood in front of me and protected me: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Ruoruo do such a thing?"

Su Luoyan pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

I took a deep breath, full of cold smell, I fought back the tears, looked at him, and said, "Su Luoyan, do you really think I am the one who stole things?"

"I just wanted to make sure."

"Just to be sure? If you are sure in your heart, do you need to confirm it again from me?"

"Su Ruo, don't act like this. I'm your elder brother. I worry about you more than anyone else, but I also want to know the truth of the matter, right? After Jiang Chuan and Lele told me, I also said that it wasn't you who did it. Yes, but the things are in your pocket again, and I can protect you better only if I know the truth." Su Luoyan seldom said so many words at once, he looked at me with something I couldn't understand, " Su Ruo, trust me and tell me the truth."

"The truth? Hehe, will you believe me when I tell you? Su Luoyan, I have thought of many possibilities, the only thing I didn't expect is that you would not trust me. I always thought that even if the whole world doesn't trust me, you , my brother, you will always believe in me and stand by my side, today I found out that I was wrong, very wrong."

"Su Ruo, don't be like this, I just want to know the truth."

"The truth? Then I'll tell you." I tore off the necklace he gave me from my neck and threw it into his arms. "The truth is, starting today, I, Su Ruo, and Su Luoyan have nothing to do with each other."

He stood there stupidly, didn't catch the necklace I threw, but didn't speak again.That necklace, which I have always regarded as a treasure, is now thrown on the ground by me, stained with dust.

I have always regarded it as the most expensive necklace in the world. I would even give up my life for it, but why did the person who gave me the necklace doubt me?

"Su Ruo..."

About that necklace, Jiang Chuan knew about it. In the past, he clamored for me to lend it to him, but I was reluctant, but now he saw me throwing that necklace out with his own eyes.

The scene became very quiet.

Su Luoyan's lips were tightly pressed together, he didn't speak, not a single word.He stood stiffly in front of me, looked at me, and just said nothing.

"Don't cry, there's still me." Song Junmu hugged me, giving me the last warmth.

The lawyer arrived soon, because the amount lost was not large, and Yan Lele and Song Junmu's parents were business partners, and their family decided not to sue me, so I can leave safely.Even so, I also know that from now on I will live my life as a thief, and I will never forget it, let alone those who watched.

The pale fluorescent lights illuminated the police room, I looked at Su Luoyan, but he didn't dare to look at me, I felt a sore pain in my heart.

When we all came out of the police station, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening, standing in the hall, watching the outside world was already rainy.

"Do you want me to ask the driver to take you back?" Yan Lele tried to smile in front of me, but the corners of her lips were trembling slightly.

"Lele, I'm sorry, you have to believe that it's really not me."

"Su Ruo, we all understand you." Jiang Chuan comforted me, but I still saw something I didn't want to see from the bottom of his eyes.

Jiang Chuan, you know me, don't you know that I know you better?Your little thoughts can't escape my eyes.

"I know." I looked at Jiang Chuan, he was my most cherished friend, and I looked at Yan Lele again, ignoring the faint pain in my heart, I held my hands tightly.

Is this life?

Standing in front of me is my elder brother and my best friend. They all hide their distrust of me. I once said that the three of us will be together forever. In the end, it was just my wishful thinking.

The air was so tight that it was suffocating, Jiang Chuan didn't speak anymore, and I was a little tired.Su Luoyan walked over, the last thing I want to see now is him, I used to regard him as a treasure, but he gave me a knife in the weakest and most defenseless corner of my heart.

Su Luoyan said: "Su Ruo, it's getting late, I'll take you back."

I looked at him and unknowingly hoarse my voice: "Why?"

Probably because he was a little strange about my question, Su Luoyan showed a strange expression.

I said to him with a stiff voice: "Don't you suspect that I am a thief? Bringing such a thief sister back to school, as a sign of the law department of University A, don't you feel ashamed of this?"

He frowned: "I didn't say that."

"But you doubt me!"

I'm really angry, I'm really resentful!My pain is so obvious, why can't Su Luoyan, who is my elder brother, understand!For so many years, he didn't even give me this little trust!

Song Junmu said: "Ruoruo, come with me, it's so late, it's not convenient to go back to the dormitory, I have a house near the school, I can stay for one night."

I was silent for a while, then nodded.

"No!" Su Luoyan walked in front of us and yelled in my ear, "Su Ruo is a girl, how can I live alone with you at night?"

"Why not? Ruoruo is my girlfriend." Song Junmu also became annoyed.

"So what? If I say no, it's not!"

"Why should I listen to you?"

"Because I'm her brother!"

I frowned, their quarrel was like a sharp long sword, every word pierced deeply into my heart: "Enough!"

I'm already very irritable, and I can't bear any quarrels. I looked at the two of them and made my decision: "Junmu and I will go back, just like this."

Just like this...

I didn't look at anyone again.

I know that Su Luoyan will be hurt because of my decision. Since I was a child, I have never disobeyed his will, but I know that I can't extricate myself from the pain because of his words.

The relationship we just eased is still falling apart!
Song Junmu took off his coat and put it on me, then put it in his arms: "We're going back..."

I nodded, leaned against him, and slowly closed my eyes, feeling tired from the bottom of my heart.

Could it be just a dream tonight?Can I go back to the past when I open my eyes?I asked myself over and over again in my heart.

I always thought that the simple and lovely Yan Lele had changed, and I always thought that Su Luoyan, who knew me best, had changed.What is left in this world worthy of my belief and hope?

I raised my head and looked at Song Junmu, with my favorite smile on his face, he said: "Let's get in the car, Ruoruo sleeps for a while, and when we get home, I'll call you."

That Song Junmu who I don't remember seeing is still by my side.I feel that I owe him more and more, watching the drizzle fall on him, the wall of my heart begins to collapse little by little.

I blinked my eyes, and the rain fell down my slightly raised cheeks, like cold tears. I don't know if God is crying?or myself?
Song Junmu dried me one by one, and I could only hear his soft whisper: "We're going back."

He took me into the car, and I leaned in his arms from the beginning to the end. The glass of the car window was reflected by the street lights outside. The night scene of the city reflected the extravagant light, and everything seemed to be dazzling and blurred.

I opened and closed my eyes slightly, probably because I was tired, and my temples were torn in pain.Song Junmu patted my back lightly, like a quiet lullaby, my eyes were so sleepy that I couldn't open them anytime soon.

Outside the window, the rain is still rustling...

The world was pitch black, and I stood in fear, unable to find an exit.
