Man, My Man (Part 2)

"Yu Ran, I'm back to school?"

"Yeah."

"What yeah? You won't keep me here!"

Lying on Yu Ran's chest, we enjoyed the afterglow of the climax. Yu Ran was so great just now. He pushed me to the extreme and uncontrollable peak again and again. After the tension and spasm, we ignored each other's sweat and lay together in each other's arms. "Hehe, no need. Although I really want to hold you to sleep, they will think about it if you don't go back."

Yu Ran is very considerate of me. "I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

I scratched his nose. "Hehe, it's not legitimate..."

Yu Ran showed a helpless smile, then smiled comfortingly and said, "It's okay, go back, I'll take you!"

After that, he got up, put on a piece of clothes and went to the bathroom to wash. I lay on the bed, thinking about what he just said. It's not right, yes, I never gave him a name, even though we were very close and intimate, but he and I never wanted to be boyfriend and girlfriend, and we tacitly never mentioned this issue. But I know that he has always been looking forward to me giving him a reasonable name. When I came out of the shower, Yu Ran asked me to sit on the edge of the bed and blow my hair, then combed a very lively braid for me, and left two strands of hair on my temples. He said he liked the feeling of fluttering temples, and always thought that girls like that were beautiful. I stared at him blankly, was he thinking of the girl he liked before? Yu Ran seemed to see what I was thinking, and looked at me with a smile and said: "What are you thinking about, silly girl?"

Every time we finished, there would be a feeling of mutual understanding for a period of time. He could basically feel what I was saying, and I could feel his past... bit by bit, carefully exploring his long-closed inner world. "Yu Ran, tell me about your past..."

When a girl wants to know about a man's past, whether she admits it or not, she has fallen in love with this man, and it will only be deeper than she expected. Although she tried her best to hide it, it was in vain. Yu Ran smiled, hugged me from behind, and buried his face in my hair. He said that holding me like this made him feel very safe and quiet. He liked this tranquility, the tranquility of not competing with the world and others, very comfortable, no longer tired of the mind, just like finding a home...Yu Ran sighed, smiled again, and hugged me tightly to make my back fit his body more closely. He was silent for a while. Was he organizing his words? Or reminiscing about the past? Just when he wanted to speak, my cell phone rang. No way? At this time? These days, Xiangxiang Village Girls are used to me skipping classes and coming back late, and they are also very relieved for this. They have never urged me to go back to the dormitory or anything. They won't come to disrupt the situation now! I looked back at Yu Ran with regret. He lightly kissed my delicate red lips and said, "Go check the phone!"

I stood up and took out the phone from the bag on the chair. I picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. It must be a wrong number or a sales promotion. I hung up without hesitation. I looked at Yu Ran again. My apologetic look had just begun to form when the damn phone rang again! "Answer it!"

Yu Ran smiled and said, "Silly."

"Hmph!"

Dare to laugh at me? I'm afraid you'll be unhappy! I showed my little fist to Yu Ran to intimidate him, and then pressed the answer button. I didn't say anything and waited for the other party to speak. The other party also played silent, "Damn it!"

I cursed and hung up the phone again. Oh my god! I've become prone to swearing after being with Yu Ran for a long time. He is good to me, but that doesn't mean he has changed in everything. In his bones, he is still a... big pervert, a dead bastard! A man who led a group of thugs to surround another group of people and grab their hair! Looking at Yu Ran, he was dressed, smiled sweetly at me and said, "Let's go, it's almost time, I'll take you home!"

I threw the phone back into my bag angrily. I finally got Yu Ran to tell me his past stories, but he was interrupted by such an inexplicable phone call. Seeing him dressed, I knew that he had shut up. I couldn't get those stories out of him tonight, so I had to find another opportunity next time. I don't know if I will be tortured to death by creating such an opportunity next time? The price! The opportunity that I finally paid such a huge price for was actually shattered by a strange phone call! I saw that Yu Ran had changed his shoes. I bought them with him the day before yesterday. He said he wanted to wear couple shoes. I said no, I had enough shoes, but he insisted on buying me a pair of the same ones, saying that this is called couple shoes, and when I wear them, others will know that we are a couple. I said, are you afraid that others won't see it when I walk with you like this? He was grinning and was going to buy it for me... To be honest, there is a wonderful sense of connection when two people walk together wearing the same shoes! When walking, you will pay attention to the road under your feet with the corner of your eyes. In just a moment, you will pay attention to the shoes on your feet. Two pairs of the same shoes, walking in the same style, walking the same road; you are together, the same, and deep in your heart, there will be a sense of belonging that is suddenly touched, and you want to be closer to the people around you... Unconsciously, he put his arm around your waist; unconsciously, you took his hand; unconsciously, you stopped, you stood on tiptoe, and he lowered his head, closed his eyes, four hot and wet lips combined together, swallowing the sweet saliva of both parties in ecstasy, and at this time he held tighter, and you also held his neck, love is simply accumulated and passionate. Going downstairs to the front desk, Yu Ran greeted the receptionist, and the lady gave him a sweet smile warmly. They are all people who live by themselves. They have a natural similarity and are easy to get along with. I just can't get along with the ladies in the hotel. I feel that there is a sense of isolation in the way they look at me. It is difficult to get close to them, so I gave up the idea of ​​greeting them and walked out the front door. There was a man standing in front of me. I couldn't help but shudder when I saw him. I panicked instantly. Why did I feel so intense? Was it because I came out in a hurry and was blown by the cold wind? But after a closer look, I found that the ambient temperature had no effect on me. There was only one conclusion - the man in front of me gave me chills. Zhang Han? No, I haven't seen him for almost two years. As long as this semester ends and the summer vacation is over, it will be exactly two years. Robin? Oh NONONO, Yu Ran told me that he was just a supporting role in my life. He was a scumbag who pursued me when I was emotionally empty. What else can he do besides pretending to be cool? Supporting role means that it is very rare for him to appear again. It's Wang Qin. It's Wang Qin! See? I shouted with many exclamation marks: It's Wang Qin! In his hand, he was holding a mobile phone with a bright screen. And the next moment, my phone rang again. This time, before I took out my phone and pressed the red button, Wang Qin's little finger lightly touched his touch screen. Less than a second later, my phone was silent. The two looked at each other in silence. I was wondering why he appeared at the door of the hotel where Yu Ran was staying, and at this time. I didn't know what he was thinking. I only knew that his face was very calm, not white or red, and his eyes were also cold, but he didn't show any strange emotions. The whole person was like a pool of ancient black water, which was even colder under the cover of the night. "Huh? Xiaoyu, what's wrong?"

Yu Ran rushed up from behind, put his arm around my shoulders, and put his coat on me. I didn't answer, but just stared at Wang Qin blankly, my mind was in a mess, yes! Like a mess! I really can't guess whether he will bear a grudge against me or Yu Ran and do something out of line. I hope he can be more rational and not so stupid! Considering that he is an outstanding graduate of our school, considering that he was accepted by a well-known enterprise, considering that he is the vice president of the school's association and should be more mature than others... "Is it cold?"

Yu Ran saw that I didn't answer, and asked again. Although he seemed to know nothing, I swear that he had noticed Wang Qin, and now there is a tense atmosphere between him and Wang Qin that oppresses me. "Who are you to her?"

It was Wang Qin who asked the question, and he preconceivedly linked himself to me! It's so hateful. Do I have to explain something to Yu Ran again... It's so annoying! Yu Ran sneered, "Hmph", and that feeling was very similar to Sephiroth, with an elegant arc at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of disdain and provocation. Then he stopped entangled with Wang Qin and pulled me away. "Stop right there!" Wang Qin shouted loudly, his feet still motionless. At this time, Yu Ran and I had our backs to him. I was really afraid that he would rush up from behind and hit Yu Ran on the head. Then we would be in danger! Looking at Yu Ran, his cold expression was unmoved, but I believe his attention was also on Wang Qin behind him, and even around us, because I felt a gentle tenderness wrapped around me, and the darkness around was driven away. I believe that Yu Ran will definitely strike with thunder if there is any disturbance. I just believe in him and my feelings. "Xiao Yu! Stop right there!" Wang Qin shouted again: "Come back!" What? The one who called "Stop" was not Yu Ran, but me! Being called by him like this, my heart suddenly hung in the air, and it was in my throat. I was so nervous that my hair stood up all over my body. At this time, I felt a strong force coming from the palm of my hand. Yu Ran pinched me and let me calm down. At this time, Yu Ran did not leave, and slowly turned around to look at Wang Qin. I am his forbidden lover. It is obvious that he is fine with a little suffering, but he will not give up once he provokes me. I am a little worried about Yu Ran, afraid that he will not be able to control himself in a moment of impulse. I hurriedly suppressed the blood that was surging wildly because of the shock just now. I held Yu Ran with my little hand and shook him, gently stroking him twice, trying to soften him with my feminine tenderness, so that he would not be hurt by a head-on confrontation with others. Mu Re also shook me twice in return, indicating that he was still within the scope of reason. Now it mainly depends on Wang Qin's performance, but Wang Qin just wants to sing the opposite tune with me - "Xiao Yu! What did you do just now?" Wang Qin said to me loudly in a tone of questioning a servant. I wanted to open my mouth but didn't know what to say. Should I scold him? I can't scold him because my voice is not as loud as his; should I cover up what Yu Ran and I did just now? I had to make up a reasonable lie... It was ridiculous that I was so confused that I didn't even think about it. I was blocked outside the hotel by others and found out that I was going in and out with a boy. What reason or lie was there? And what qualifications did he have to ask me this? Before I could say anything, Wang Qin took advantage of the situation and said proudly: "Hmm? You have nothing to say after being caught by me, right? Come here quickly and don't be with that guy anymore."

Why do sarcastic words sound so harsh? What's wrong with Yu Ran? How are you better than him? Good job? Compared with Yu Ran, you are really nothing. So what about a foreign company? With your quality, you can only pretend to be a facade to confuse those people who do low-level personnel management. After you get in and work and meet those sharp-eyed foreigners, you will be fired with your temper and mind. "You'd better get out of here quickly. I don't want to see you circling in front of me anymore!"

Yu Ran's tone seemed very relaxed and carefree when he spoke, but it revealed a chilling and cold death. Wang Qin's cheeks bulged, and the muscles on his forehead jumped twice. He looked at Yu Ran for two or three times, then dodged Yu Ran's gaze and said to me with a sincere look, "Xiao Yu, you disappoint me so much... How could you do such a thing?"

"What is it?"

I also asked coldly. I was originally a gentle person, but Wang Qin has always disgusted me. Now that Yu Ran has my back, I am not afraid that he will turn against me with my tone. "You actually came out, came out to do it! You disappoint me so much! How much do you want? I'll give it to you! Can't I afford it? Aha! You name a price!"

Wang Qin held his breath and spit out so many words, his anger was surging, his face was red, like a stingy rooster who challenged, and his broad look of "I have a wallet and it's easy to support you" deeply stimulated my heart. What does "come out to do it?"

You should explain it to me! What do you mean by disappointing you? Who are you to me to say this! He even asked me for money and quoted me a price. He thought I was a prostitute when he saw me in the hotel! Even I couldn't help but get angry. My blood was burning. My heart was hurt and wronged, sour and cold. Not to mention that Yu Ran was furious. He broke free from my hand and started fighting with Wang Qin. Without the support of Yu Ran holding my hand, I fell down. I hugged my knees and squatted on the ground, sobbing sadly. I just felt that I was different from other escorts, but now I turned around and was humiliated and scolded as a lady. The feeling of loss surrounded my stimulated heart. Moreover, no one had yelled at me and insulted me like this since I was a child... The more I thought about it, the more wronged I felt, and the more wronged I felt, the more tears I couldn't stop falling. Yu Ran obviously also felt that I was squatting on the ground and crying with my head down, so the muffled sound of his fists landing on Wang Qin was particularly heavy, and Wang Qin also hit Yu Ran on the head and face. For a while, the rough physical fight between the two could be heard. Damn Yu Ran, bad Yu Ran, you don't come to comfort me at this time, but go to fight with others to defend your dignity as a man... Do you know that I squat here, how much I want you to pick me up and make me happy and laugh! I promise that I will stop crying once you comfort me... And you still want to fight with others because of my crying, and you hit me even harder, do you know that I don't want you to get hurt for me at all... You must be in pain, right? He didn't hit your eyes, did he? He didn't scratch your face, did he? Later, it seemed that the security guard at the gate of the parking lot at the side door of the hotel came to hold them both, saying that if you want to fight, go to another place and don't interfere with business in front of the hotel. So the two of them stopped fighting. Yu Ran came to pull me up. His hands were still strong, but a little trembling. I looked at him in confusion. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "That... I used too much force, and I'm a little exhausted... It's okay, don't worry about me..."

"Who's worried about you! You pervert..."

Before I finished speaking, I threw myself into his arms and burst into tears. It turned out that I was so worried about him just now, afraid that he would be hurt. Now that he is fine and laughing, my tense heart is finally relieved... "Wait! You two wait! The one with a foreign accent, remember, it's not your turn to run wild on my territory! Xiaoyu, hello! You are very good! Wait for me! I won't let you go!"

Wang Qin pointed at us fiercely and said such a string of harsh words. With the security guard's "OK, OK", he ran away from us and staggered away at the corner of the street in the distance. Yu Ran looked at me lovingly and gave me a firm look. I know he is worried that I will be frightened by Wang Qin. His crazy look just now is really scary! But, Yu Ran, I am not afraid, because I have you. With you, I am not afraid of anything! Because, you are a big man, my big man! The man who belongs to me will protect me! I believe this blindly.
