Difficult To Raise Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Mountain Breeze There is a black motorcycle parked at the intersection, its appearance…

There is a black motorcycle parked at the intersection, which looks very cool.Jiang Jin silently put on the helmets for the two of them and pulled Jiang Ran into the back seat.

“Hold on,” he said.

The unique hum of the locomotive suddenly exploded, and the low roar made people’s eardrums tighten. Jiang Ran subconsciously wrapped his arms around his waist, his palms touching his tight waistline, and the next second, the locomotive shot out like an arrow from the string.

The mountain road is winding and the speed is frighteningly fast.The night wind carried a chill and blew past his ears. Jiang Ran’s cheeks were sore from the blowing. He could only press his face tightly against Jiang Jin’s back. Through a layer of clothes, he could still feel the coldness on his body.

“Drive slower! Xiao Jin, drive slower!” He roared loudly, his voice torn into pieces by the wind.

Jiang Jin didn’t say a word and still drove fast.The surrounding trees turned into blurry shadows, flying past his eyes with claws and teeth.Cold, pain, panic, fear… Jiang Ran’s chest rose and fell violently. Jiang Jin’s madness just now still made him feel frightened. He softened his voice and begged tremblingly: “Xiao Jin, please don’t do this. I’m afraid, please drive slower, okay?”

After begging several times, Jiang Jin finally slowed down. His voice came from the wind with a hint of mockery, “Afraid? What are you afraid of? Afraid of me?”

Jiang Ran lowered his eyes and suddenly remembered the scene just now. Jiang Jin must have seen the look in his eyes at that time.He pursed his lips and his eyelashes trembled slightly, “I’m not afraid of you, I just think it’s dangerous.”

Jiang Jin said “Oh” and came to the conclusion lightly: “That’s because I’m afraid of death.”

Jiang Ran didn’t say anything. It’s normal to be afraid of death. Almost everyone is afraid of death, because death is often accompanied by pain, especially if you fall from here, it makes you shudder just thinking about it.

Although he didn’t say a word, it was strange that Jiang Jin seemed to be aware of his thoughts, and added with a smile: “Tell me, what will happen if I take you down from here now? Will you be smashed to pieces and turned into flesh? And then you will be swallowed by wild beasts, and no residue will be found?”

This was a bit of a joke, but Jiang Ran couldn’t laugh at all. He felt a little nervous for no reason. He licked his dry lips and said hoarsely: “Xiao Jin, don’t go crazy.”

“Am I crazy?” Jiang Jin stopped laughing, and his tone suddenly became colder, “Then what happened when you and Li Song kissed on the street just now? Aren’t you crazy?”

“That was just a misunderstanding…” Jiang Ran quickly explained.

“Misunderstanding?” Jiang Jin sneered, his laughter full of sarcasm, “I don’t think so. If I didn’t show up, would you have followed his wishes and kissed him?” His voice suddenly rose, with uncontrollable anger, “I really didn’t expect that you knew who he was and still had no connection with him. Do you just like this kind of garbage?”

“It seems that I disturbed your business just now? Do you want me to say sorry to you?”

Even though he knew he was angry, hearing these words still made people feel embarrassed.Jiang Ran felt tired. It seemed that every time after the reunion, he would quarrel with Jiang Jin because of this kind of thing. He said helplessly: “I really didn’t. If you didn’t come, I would have pushed him away.”

Jiang Jin remained silent and did not speak. He only felt that there was a raging depression in his heart that could not be vented. He recalled the scene he just saw over and over again in his mind. The postures of the two people were exactly the same as the photo he had received before. They were equally annoying and wanted to destroy them.

“It’s up to you,” Jiang Jin said coldly, “I don’t want to interfere with your affairs anymore. You can do whatever you want with other men. Don’t let me see you again.”

As long as Jiang Jin thought about how he waited for Jiang Ran at the hotpot restaurant for hours like a fool today, and thought something had happened to him when he didn’t come, so he hurried over, only to find him entangled with his ex-boyfriend, this anger could not be dissipated.

“Don’t come to see me again, don’t send me any more messages, don’t act like you care about me anymore,” Jiang Jin said without hesitation, “Don’t you feel tired from pretending all day long?”

Every word was like a sharp knife, piercing into Jiang Ran’s heart.He originally thought that Jiang Jin was willing to reply to his messages and add him on WeChat because he had softened his attitude and tried to forgive him, but he didn’t expect that it was just wishful thinking on his part.He lowered his head, the tip of his nose felt sore, and a dense sourness surged in his heart.

“I’m sorry.” Jiang Ran said.

He didn’t know why he was apologizing, but it seemed that he couldn’t say anything else except saying sorry. The gap between them was no longer a day or two. He tried hard to eliminate it, but no matter what he did, it seemed to be in vain.

The mountain road was eerily quiet at night. No one was seen along the road, and there were not even a few cars passing by. The only sounds left in my ears were the whistling of the wind and the loud hum of the motorcycle engine.

“Don’t say this to me again.” Jiang Jin’s voice echoed in the biting mountain wind, “I don’t want to hear it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the car sped up and the surrounding scenery receded rapidly. Jiang Ran was startled and hugged Jiang Jin’s waist tightly, almost pressing against his body.

His vision was blurry. Jiang Jin’s back was hidden in the night and he couldn’t see clearly. He could only vaguely see a bit of white clothes blown by the wind, like white flowers blooming in the darkness. For a moment, it seemed a bit illusory.

Jiang Ran hugged him, his heart beating hard at this high-speed advancement, but he didn’t feel any stimulation. He only felt cold. It was cold when the wind blew over, and what Jiang Jin said was even colder.

It was so cold that he almost lost consciousness.

After that, the relationship between the two that had finally eased reached a freezing point again, and Jiang Jin returned to his previous indifference. For several days in a row, he did not even update his circle of friends.Jiang Ran was helpless and a little worried at the same time, not for anything else, but mainly because he was worried that Jiang Jin would come to retaliate after beating Li Song like that.

That afternoon, Jiang Ran returned to the dormitory after class. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Haodong packing his luggage. The suitcase was spread out on the ground, filled with clothes and daily necessities.Jiang Ran knew that he had been tired of being with his girlfriend recently, and the two were even looking at a house to live together, so he casually asked: “Weren’t you looking for a house before? Is there a suitable one?”

Jiang Haodong smiled and nodded, “I was just about to tell you about this. I saw a house outside the school. It’s only about ten minutes’ walk from here. It’s convenient for classes and so on. I plan to move out soon.”

Jiang Ran said “Oh”, feeling a little reluctant. After all, they had been roommates for two years and the three of them had a good relationship. He said, “We should come back to play more often in the future. Don’t forget about your brothers when you have a girlfriend.”

“How could it be?” Jiang Haodong smiled heartily, “I don’t plan to move all my things. If I get kicked out after a quarrel, there has to be a place to take me, right?”

As soon as these words came out, the melancholy that was left disappeared. Jiang Ran also laughed and said jokingly: “Your girlfriend looks quite gentle, can’t she be so cruel?”

“Oh, you don’t understand.” Jiang Haodong said distressedly: “A woman has a deep heart. She is smiling at you one second, but can beat you up unceremoniously the next second. It is really difficult to guess.”

Although he said this, there was a full smile on his face. Jiang Ran smiled and scolded: “Ganggungun, you came to me on purpose to show your affection, right?”

“Hahahaha.” Jiang Haodong laughed, “Who told you to be single? Seriously, Ran’er, don’t you consider dating a partner? In fact, there are many handsome guys around me.” He winked at Jiang Ran.

After what happened with Li Song, Jiang Ran couldn’t think of falling in love now. He quickly said, “Stop teasing me. I’m fine being alone. I don’t want to be controlled like you.”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Haodong and Li Song seemed to have some friendship, so he asked tentatively: “Hey, Haozi, let me ask you, how did you meet Li Song from the physical education department?”

“Is this it?” Jiang Haodong looked at him suspiciously and asked, “You must have fallen in love with him, right?”

“How could it be?” Jiang Ran quickly denied, “Didn’t he target me last time we had dinner? I just wanted to ask and find out his details.”

Jiang Haodong looked at him for a while and said warningly: “It’s better if you don’t. He’s not very good. I advise you not to have any thoughts about him. In fact, I’m not very familiar with him. I’m mainly familiar with his roommate, the one who was sitting next to him before. Remember? That was a high school classmate of mine. When we were chatting before, I heard him mention that Li Song’s private life is very messy. As long as he is good-looking, he can eat everything, regardless of whether he is a boy or a girl.”

Jiang Haodong said with some disdain: “Both men and women eat it, meat and vegetables are not taboo, and we are not afraid of getting sick.”

Jiang Ran’s face turned pale. The time he talked to Li Song was too short. Even Tang Qin and Jiang Haodong didn’t know about it. He was also very slow about these things and never took the initiative to inquire. He had no idea he was such a person.

“Oh, that’s right.” Jiang Ran said.

“Is he harassing you?” Jiang Haodong squinted at him, “The last time we had dinner, I thought his attitude towards you was strange, but my girlfriend was still here at the time, so I didn’t delve into it further. If he harasses you, just tell me and I will help you solve it.”

“No.” Jiang Ran shook his head. He didn’t want to trouble Jiang Haodong, and he and Li Song had nothing to do with each other.

“Anyway, just stay away from him.” Jiang Haodong said.

“Thank you, Haozi.” Jiang Ran suppressed the look in his eyes and forced a smile, “When are you moving? Then Tang Qin and I will help you.”

“Just these two days.” Jiang Haodong said: “When the place where I live is tidied up, I invite you to come to my house to make hot pot.”

“Okay.” Jiang Ran smiled and said, “I’m waiting.”

“Hey, by the way, the shoes you bought have arrived. I will send you the pick-up code. Remember to pick it up later.” Jiang Haodong said, then remembered the matter again and asked: “How are you and your brother? Are you done with it?”

Jiang Ran’s expression dimmed and he shook his head slightly.

“This…” Jiang Haodong didn’t know what to say, so he could only say: “Your brother is too difficult to coax, how angry he must be.”

Jiang Ran lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding the loneliness in his eyes: “It’s my fault.” He didn’t want to say any more, turned around, picked up the water glass, walked to the water dispenser, and got himself a glass of warm water.

After listening to Jiang Haodong’s words, Jiang Ran became more and more wary of Li Song. He walked around the teaching building of the Physical Education Department for fear of encountering him again.But the strange thing is that since that time, Li Song seemed to have disappeared from the world and never appeared again, let alone harassed him.

Jiang Ran secretly thought to himself, maybe Li Song was scared by Jiang Jin, or maybe he gave up because he got too excited and found it boring. He gradually relaxed and his days returned to the peace of the past.

During this period of time, he tried sending messages to Jiang Jin, but every one of them fell flat and there was no response.He had also been to several places Jiang Jin frequented, but he had never been able to see him.Jiang Ran was helpless and just wanted to wait until his anger subsided.

There was no class in the afternoon, and while Jiang Ran was reading in the library, his phone suddenly vibrated, breaking the silence around him.He looked down and saw that it was a text message from an unknown number. There was no text, only a photo.Jiang Ran opened the door curiously, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

The background of the photo is a bar with dazzling lights, neon lights flashing, and light and shadow intertwined.Beside the bar, two men were hugging each other tightly and kissing inseparably.The angle of the photographer was very tricky, with most of one person’s face exposed.

Jiang Ran recognized at a glance that the man was Li Song, whom he had not seen for a long time.
