Chapter 295 – Between Han Xuegang And Xian Zihao, Who Is The Man That You Truly Love
Jiang Yijun pushed her hand away with a cold face, "I said Jiang Ruolan isn't here. You bugged me for more than ten minutes. Now that she's back, if you have anything you need, just go and find her."
Jiang Yijun turned around and walked inside without looking back after saying that.
"Hey, Yijun! F*ck! Is this how you treat a guest like me?" Yi Meixiu waved her little fist and knocked on his back. Then, she ran excitedly to Jiang Ruolan's side. After that, she sneakily glanced at the handsome man beside her. "Hey, who is this handsome man?"
"Meixiu, you're not working today? Why did you come looking for me?" Jiang Ruolan immediately asked her.
"Aiya, nothing is as important as a handsome brother right now! Where did you find him? Is he yours? If not, then I'm going to make my move! I've just regained my bachelorhood! Speaking of which, he and Yijun were a little like one another! But he is really my type! Hurry up and tell me. Have you made a move yet?" Yi Meixiu whispered while holding her arm.
However, no matter how low her voice was, Xian Zihao could clearly hear it from the side.
Jiang Ruolan turned her head awkwardly to look at Xian Zihao, only to see him smiling.
"Ugh …He …"
At the same time, Xian Zihao's arm was half-wrapped around her shoulder. Just as Jiang Ruolan was about to introduce him to Yi Meixiu, Xian Zihao had already introduced himself. "Hello, I'm her husband."
"What?!"
Yi Meixiu was completely petrified. It was only after a long time that she returned to her senses. She looked at Jiang Ruolan's blushing face with an astonishing gaze.
"Jiang Ruolan! You really got married?! The man you told me about at the rice noodle shop back then…"
Yi Meixiu wasn't able to finish her words. She had always felt that it was completely impossible, but the man in front of her clearly had an extraordinary temperament.
"Let's talk inside." Jiang Ruolan pulled her hand.
Yi Meixiu swallowed her saliva, looked at Xian Zihao, and then back at Jiang Ruolan. Seeing that she was wearing what looked to be his coat, Yi Meixiu finally realized it was the truth.
The two of them seemed to be compatible. No matter how infatuated Yi Meixiu was, she did not dare to mess around, so she could only shrug her shoulders and say, "Alright."
Yi Meixiu had just walked out of a hurried relationship, and it wasn't easy for her to meet a good man. When she found a good man, he was Jiang Ruolan's husband. Why was her life so bitter?
Just as three of them entered Jiang Ruolan's house, Yi Meixiu immediately ran over to the couch and picked up a glass of water. After drinking two mouthfuls, she said loudly, "Jiang Ruolan, you're too ungrateful. When did you get married? You didn't even give me an invitation!"
Jiang Ruolan glanced sideways at her but didn't explain. She just turned around to look at Xian Zihao, afraid that he wouldn't be able to get used to the small size house. But seeing the look on his face when he walked in, the way he casually opened the side door, as if he was observing the small rented room she had lived in… The feeling of being looked over by the man she cared about rose in her heart.
At this moment, Jiang Yijun came out from the other bedroom, causing Xian Zihao to glance at him.
Jiang Yijun looked at him expressionlessly.
To avoid bad things from happening, Jiang Ruolan tried to smooth things over. "Yijun, why don't you go and help me–"
"Let's talk outside." Xian Zihao cut her and said this to Jiang Yijun.
Jiang Ruolan immediately shut her mouth and looked hesitantly at Xian Zihao, who had a calm expression. Then, she turned her head to look at Jiang Yijun.
Jiang Yijun nodded. "Sure."
Jiang Ruolan did not know what to say about this feeling of politeness and distance. Xian Zihao seemed to have seen through her worry and gave her a comforting look before walking out the door.
Before Jiang Yijun left, both of them exchanged glances with each other. His face turned cold and he left the room without saying anything.
"Ruolan, is he really your husband?" Yi Meixiu finally calmed down and asked with a depressed look on her face while sitting on the sofa.
Obviously, in Yi Meixiu's mind, she still remembered the love fairy tale between Jiang Ruolan and Han Xuegang a few years ago.
But in this lifetime, there were only a few women who could really marry their first love. At the time, both of them were very ignorant about love. Maybe they were together because of love, or maybe it was because of their young passions. At least in that failed relationship, Jiang Ruolan learned to cherish and understand what she really wanted.
She had already graduated from the compulsory course of her life.
Jiang Ruolan walked over and placed Xian Zihao's jacket on the back of the couch. She sat beside Yi Meixiu and looked at the melancholy in her eyes, "Meixiu, we were once best friends, and I have never intended to hide a lot of things from you. In the past month, you were the one who helped distract me, making me feel as if I have gone back in time while we were still in university."
"When Han Xuegang and I were together, you once said that if Han Xuegang were willing to be ordinary and worked hard step by step, our future would definitely be very good. But at that time, we all thought that men's ambitions were too modest."
Jiang Ruolan spent almost an hour recounting everything that had happened in the last six months, including how Han Xuegang used her and his betrayal, her encounter with Xian Zihao, and some matters in her life, including the wedding, the misunderstanding caused by Zhou Shufen and Xiaoyi.
After listening to all of this, Yi Meixiu became quiet for a long time before she said, "I didn't expect him to become like this. However, a few months ago, Han Xuegang came to F City for his business trip. I heard he went back to look for something at school. At that time, I thought you two were still together, but looking at how you came back, I know you weren't together anymore, but I didn't dare to ask."
Jiang Ruolan was stunned and then smiled in relief, "Of course I'm doing very well. There is no absolute in life. Before the end of life comes, no one will know who they will meet next. Because of Han Xuegang's betrayal and use, Xian Zihao had given me too much hope and warmth. He pulled out my thorn so that I wouldn't have to face those hardships alone."
"So what you said at the rice noodle shop was true." Yi Meixiu suddenly sighed. "But I remember that you were telling it like a joke, and then we even visited that forum. Ruolan, I …"
Yi Meixiu pursed her lips and looked at her for a long time before asking softly, "Ruolan, between Han Xuegang and Xian Zihao, who is the man that you truly love?"
Jiang Ruolan laughed. "The question never crossed my mind. Everyone is too young, too lonely, and in need of something, even if it is just something that makes others happy, but unfortunately, love is one of them, and I unluckily came across it."
"As for your question.." Jiang Ruolan looked out the window at the sunlight. "I've heard that people's hearts are like a semicircle, and when they find their better half, that person will be their eternal sunlight."
"And Xian Zihao…He should be my other half-circle."
Therefore, when the circle was forcibly torn apart, she would feel pain, but she would not shed another tear to show that she was weak. However, that pain was something she would never be able to forget for the rest of her life.
And when her half-circle was filled up and reformed into a circle without a trace, she realized that this was the feeling of belonging that she hadn't felt in a long time.
