Chapter 72: Lifespan
“Chen Chen, you can’t be like this. Our Hu Wan is still waiting for you!” Hu Wan’s mother looked at the people around her and reminded her awkwardly. She could only turn around and leave.
When the crowd saw that there was no more commotion, they dispersed.
Chen Chen turned around and gently touched Bai Ran’s face. There were still five clear finger marks on it. Her entire face was already swollen, showing how much strength she had used to slap her.
Chen Chen said with heartache, “Does it still hurt?”
Bai Ran was a little aggrieved. She pouted and said, “How can it not hurt?”!!
“It’s all my fault.” Chen Chen hugged Bai Ran.
“Let go of me. They came together. With Sister Hu Wan’s character, she’ll definitely look at us.” Bai Ran suddenly thought of something and wanted to break free from Chen Chen.
“So what if she sees us?” Chen Chen replied casually.
“Huh?” Bai Ran buried herself in Chen Chen’s chest. “What do you mean?”
Chen Chen did not answer. He only let go of Bai Ran and looked into her eyes. “Let’s go home.”
“Ah, aren’t we going to play? You bought the tickets just now, right?” Bai Ran said hesitantly, but Chen Chen had already pulled her hand over.
“What are we still playing for? You’re already injured!” Chen Chen pulled Bai Ran back to the car.
Not far away, Hu Wan clenched her fists tightly when she saw this. Her nails dug into her flesh, and blood was already seeping out.
Bai Ran, I’ll give you one last chance. If you still don’t let go, don’t blame me!
A plan was already forming in her head.
Chen Chen and Bai Ran returned to Bai Ran’s house.
“Where’s your medicine box?” Chen Chen said as soon as he entered.
“There’s no need to be in such a hurry. I was just slapped,” Bai Ran said with a smile as she changed out of her slippers. “Sit down first. I’ll look for it.”
“How can I not be anxious? How could they treat you like this?!” Chen Chen sat down and gritted his teeth, feeling a little angry.
“Treat me like this?” Bai Ran walked to the cabinet and stopped touching the medicine box.
She was really confused by Chen Chen today. He would not have been so unhappy because of her in the past.
It was as if after last night, Chen Chen’s attitude toward her was clearly different.
So he remembered everything?
“Of course!” Chen Chen’s eyes were filled with displeasure. He stood up and walked to Bai Ran’s side, pulling out the medicine box. “I’ll apply the medicine for you first. I’ll resolve this matter.”
“Settle it? How do you want to resolve it?” Bai Ran did not understand and gave him a method she was unwilling to use. She probed, “Are you talking about marrying Sister Hu Wan? That way, they won’t find trouble with me.”
“Do you want me to marry her that much?” Chen Chen’s face darkened as he said speechlessly.
“What if I say I don’t want you to?” Looking at Chen Chen’s expression, Bai Ran suddenly said arrogantly.
She did not know when it began. As long as she saw Chen Chen lean toward her a little, she would subconsciously feel that she had a place in Chen Chen’s heart. She would want to be presumptuous and say the words she wanted to say the most.
“Then don’t ask me that!” Chen Chen said unhappily. His hand had already picked up the cotton bud and dipped it in the medicine to reduce the swelling. He wiped Bai Ran’s face gently and carefully.
“Then will you do what I want?” Bai Ran asked seriously, obediently letting Chen Chen apply the medicine.
“Yes!” Chen Chen suddenly replied decisively.
“Hmm…” Bai Ran did not know how to handle this.
“I want to ask you if you still remember yesterday…” Bai Ran hesitated, wanting to ask the question in her heart.
At this moment, Chen Chen’s phone on the table rang. A WeChat message flashed on the screen.
Bai Ran subconsciously looked down. It said, “Hu Wan: Chen Chen, the doctor gave me an ultimatum.”
Then, another message flashed: I only have about two months of life left.
Chen Chen also saw these two pieces of news, and his expression was grave.
Bai Ran was puzzled. A person who only had two months of life left ran around all day? How was she sick?
