Chapter 21
Chapter 21
Yu Ran stood blankly in the corridor, Xiao Lin, Mao Guan and Zuo Yifeng had already gone back first.Gao Che saw that Yu Ran's face was not right, so he didn't leave immediately, and patted Yu Ran's shoulder lightly: "Yu Ran, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Ran shook his head, his face was still bloodless, and his eyes were a little empty.
Gao Che became even more worried: "Are you feeling unwell again?"
Yu Ran shook his head again and forced a smile: "I'm fine, let's go in too."
"Oh." Gao Che followed him, turned his head from time to time to observe his expression, thought of Xiao Lin's words just now and asked casually: "Didn't Miss Xiao Lin say that Zheng Xinli is Mr. Mu's fiancee? Why doesn't she seem to know her?" You, aren't you Mr. Mu's younger brother?"
Yu Ran paused, trying to pretend to be calm: "I don't know, I only found out today that he already has a fiancée." He didn't know how much courage it took him to say the word "fiancée".
He knew that Mu Ran would marry a wife and have children one day, and start his own small family.He also knew that this was the result he had to accept, and he had convinced himself countless times in his heart, but when he really knew that Mu Ran had a fiancée, his heart was so heavy that he almost wanted to die.
Gao Che heard that he didn't know about it, so he didn't say anything, but whispered in his ear quickly: "Your sister-in-law doesn't seem very easy to get along with."
Yu Ran lowered his head and smiled wryly.
Returning to the dressing room, Yu Ran saw Zheng Xinli again and could no longer be calm. She couldn't help but observe her, wanting to take a closer look at what kind of person could become Mu Ran's fiancée, but the more she watched, the more she felt that Disappointed, arrogant, and willful, in his opinion, such a person is not worthy of Mu Ran.
At this time, the staff seemed to have some accidents again. Zheng Xinli stood up and slapped the person across the face, pointed at the girl's nose and scolded, "You don't have eyes, do you? That's what you do? Believe it or not, dare to do this again." I'll just ask Brother Mu Ran to withdraw his capital!"
The staff who were sitting together apologized together, and the female staff who was slapped cried bitterly, apologizing frantically while covering her swollen cheek.
Zheng Xinli was still angry, threw her sunglasses on the table, sat on the sofa with her arms folded, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Where are the directors, call your directors! The staff dare to ask me to come to the rescue with this attitude? Do you know my identity? If it weren't for the sake of Mingyi's investment, I wouldn't even come if you come to invite me!"
Not long after, Tong Yun hurried over, but she who was usually calm and serious had to smile apologetically at this moment, even if she was scolded, she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.
After finally stabilizing Zheng Xinli, Tong Yun heaved a sigh of relief, clapped his hands to the four contestants, regained his serious expression, and said, "Get ready, the rehearsal has officially begun."
In the rehearsal that day, I don't know if it was because of Zheng Xinli, everyone's performance was not very good.Especially Yu Ran, who was completely out of shape during the singing, didn't go in at the beginning, and rushed to shoot the second part. The music director's face was dark when he was watching from the audience.Before going back, the music director specially stopped Yu Ran and asked him to practice hard and get back to his state as soon as possible.
Yu Ran agreed, and she agreed, but she couldn't get back to her status for a long time, and the reason was naturally Zheng Xinli.
In fact, he also had doubts about whether Zheng Xinli was Mu Ran's fiancée, because Mu Ran never mentioned it to him.He believed that if it was true, Mu Ran would not deliberately hide it from him and not let him know.But everyone swears that Zheng Xinli is Mingyi's future proprietress, and Zheng Xinli herself seems to be Mu Ran's fiancée, if it is false, then she is too bold.
He also thought about asking Mu Ran, but every time he took out his phone, he was timid.He was afraid that Mu Ran would tell him it was true.Now it can at least give him a little illusion, and let him comfort himself that maybe this is not true.
He knew that this approach was cowardly, but since the day he fell in love with Mu Ran, he had been a coward for three years, so he didn't care about doing it for a few more days.
After that, Mu Ran would still call him every day, and the two chatted as usual. Yu Ran tried hard to hide his emotions, pretending nothing happened, laughing and making trouble with him, and occasionally acted coquettishly.In front of Gao Che and the others, he also tried his best to pretend to be normal, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that his emotions were wrong at a glance.For this reason, Gao Che felt deeply worried for him, fearing that he would still be like this on the day of the competition.
In the end, I was afraid of what would happen.On the day of the official competition, Yu Ran fell short this time. Not only the fans were disappointed, but even the judges sighed again and again. One judge who was very optimistic about Yu Ran asked him directly if something happened.
Yu Ran had no choice but to prevaricate by citing illness.But he wasn't lying, the cold really didn't go away, and he was almost cured, but then he met Zheng Xinli again, and as a result, he lost his mood, and instead of getting better, his condition got worse.There was still some coughing yesterday, which made Yu Ran's condition worse and worse.
Hearing that Yu Ran was ill, the audience's emotions were not as intense as they were at first, and they gradually began to understand him.
But sympathy belongs to sympathy, and the judging and scoring must be treated fairly, so for Yu Ran's performance this time, the judges' scoring is not very high, it can only reach a middle value.
After the four of them sang, Gao Che ranked first, No. 2 Mao Guan, No. 3 Zuo Yifeng, and Yu Ran fell to the bottom due to poor performance.But Yu Ran had expected this result a long time ago, because the two of them performed very well in the official competition he sang before, and the judges' evaluations were also very good, while Gao Che has been very stable since the first period. The accident will still be the top few.Only he was not in good condition in all aspects, and to make matters worse, his throat was a little inflamed due to a cold, and it was difficult to speak. He really endured physical discomfort and encouraged him to complete this game.
The final result was no surprise, Yu Ran was eliminated, the fans were naturally not reconciled, but they felt distressed seeing him standing on the stage trying to suppress his cough.
The host came over to collect the number plate, Yu Ran took it off and handed it over with both hands.The male host patted Yu Ran on the shoulder after taking it, and sighed.The male host also watched this group of teenagers come to this point all the way, and everyone would be reluctant to leave, not to mention that he liked Yu Ran very much, and now it is even more sad to send him away in person.
Yu Ran smiled and bowed to him, thanking him for taking care of him during this time.
On the way back, no one spoke. Yu Ran sat with Gao Che. Gao Che didn't say a word to him all the way, but just turned his head and looked out the window.
Back at the villa, Zuo Yifeng hugged Yu Ran and went upstairs.
As soon as he entered the room, Yu Ran started to pack his things. Gao Che sat on the bed and looked at him quietly. After a long time, he said sullenly: "At the beginning, we agreed to enter the finals together, but you left first."
Yu Ran smiled and continued packing without looking back: "Sorry, I didn't accompany you to the end."
"Hey," Gao Che sighed, lying on the bed with his pillow in his arms, and said listlessly, "You're about to leave, and suddenly I don't feel motivated to continue the game."
"That can't be done." Yu Ran turned around, sucked hard on his blocked nose, and said, "You must go all out, and you must win the championship. One of us must win the championship."
"That's right," Gao Che nodded, "Well then, I will definitely work hard for your sake."
"Well, you can definitely do it." Yu Ran bumped his fists with him.
After the luggage was packed, Yu Ran waited on the first floor for Xiao Lin to pick her up, but she still didn't arrive after waiting.
"Why didn't Sister Xiaolin come so late today? Didn't she usually come around 10:30? It's almost eleven o'clock today." Gao Che waited downstairs with Yu Ran.
"I don't know, why don't you give her a call." Yu Ran was about to take out his cell phone to call Xiao Lin, when Mu Ran's call came first.
Yu Ran picked it up and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"
"Have you packed your luggage?" Mu Ran asked him.
"Well, it's packed. I'm waiting for Miss Xiaolin. Are you going to sleep? Will it disturb you when you go back now?"
"No," Mu Ran said, "Come out when you pack up, I'm at the door."
"Ah? You came here to pick me up?" Yu Ran was surprised, "You don't need to make a special trip, Sister Xiaolin will take me back."
"Xiao Lin won't come today, I just called her, come out quickly, I'll wait for you at the door." He said and honked the horn.
Yu Ran thought the door he was talking about was the gate, but he didn't expect it to be the door of the villa. Hearing the sound of the horn, he hurried to the door with his luggage.
When he opened the door, Mu Ran was leaning against the side of the car. Seeing him come out, he stepped forward to take the suitcase and put it in the back seat of the car.
"Mr. Mu." Gao Che came out to see Yu Ran off.
Mu Ran nodded and pulled Yu Ran into the car.
"I'm leaving, you work hard, I'll treat you to dinner after your race is over." Yu Ran lowered the car window to say goodbye to Gao Che.
Gao Che nodded with a smile, just about to say goodbye when Mu Ran stepped on the accelerator and the car drove a few meters away.
After getting in the car, Yu Ran started coughing non-stop, and Mu Ran frowned in worry: "Isn't everything getting better soon? Why is it serious again? Is there any medicine? Do you want to go to the hospital for another check?"
Yu Ran sniffed: "I just went to the hospital this afternoon, and the medicine was dispensed. The doctor said it was just a common cold, and it will be fine in a few days."
"Have you taken the medicine?"
"Eat," Yu Ran nodded, "It's okay, it's already much better."
Mu Ran frowned and hummed.
As soon as he got home, Mu Ran tucked him into the quilt directly: "You need to have a good rest now, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow when we wake up."
Yu Ran was indeed tired, but when he thought that he was still sick, he sat up again: "Brother, I'll go back to sleep in my own room today, and it will be troublesome to infect you by then."
"No, brother is in good health, you can sleep here." Mu Ran refused to let him go.
"Okay then," Yu Ran fell asleep, blinked his eyelids and yawned, "Then don't blame me if you get infected."
Mu Ran laughed and nodded: "Well, I see, I don't blame you."
