Chapter 90: Heartache
Tan Mo and Hao Ying's drinking spree reaches a fever pitch.
Hao Ying, in particular, has a handsome face that is already visibly drunk.
Even people who can drink too much can't help it, not to mention that Hao Ying has already had a lot to drink before.
Drunk people are so annoying.
Qiao Lan could not help but exclaim.
Hao Ying's attitude towards Qiao Lan has always been quite upright, probably because she likes her, so no matter how much she tugs at other people, she's still a bit of a wimp when it comes to Qiao Lan.
But a drunken Hao Ying is as annoying as she can be, not only annoying but also unreasonable!
Qiao Lan was forced to get away from Tan Mo by saying, "Men don't need women in their fights".
Qiao Lan : "......???"
Bai Yu, who had been watching the show with great interest, lost interest and dragged Qiao Lan to the side to sing.
Qiao Lan is not interested in singing, and as Tan Mo Hao Ying is already surrounded by boys, Qiao Lan can only give up.
Hao Ying looks pretty drunk already, but Tan Mo seems to be okay.
Still the same indifferent look, cold, not much to say, not much different from the beginning of the drink.
Qiao Lan was a little more relieved, and after playing with her cell phone for a while, she was bored, so she went out for some fresh air.
Even if this box is large, but dozens of people crammed into a room, but also a bit stuffy.
This KTV has a small rooftop on the far side of the place, the night wind in June is not very cool, blowing on the body comfortable.
Qiao Lan lying on the railing, looking at the distant street lamps, a rare relaxation in the air for a while, until he heard footsteps and then turned his head.
It's Xiang Xiaohan.
Qiao Lan wasn't too surprised, even surprised.
Yesterday Xiang Xiaohan sent Qiao Lan a lot of wechat.
On WeChat, Xiang Xiaohan asked Qiao Lan if she knew what Tan Mo was really like in private, and if she knew that Tan Mo, who looked so pure and clean, was in fact a devil.
Xiang Xiaohan said Tan Mo had investigated her family situation and was told to take revenge on her family, saying he would make his parents lose their jobs and get her off campus.
[Tan Mo is a devil, you are simply deceived by him], Xiang Xiaohan said, [Are you scared, scared to know that the boy you like is actually such a person?]
Xiang Xiaohan ended up asking that.
Qiao Lan did not return.
Sure enough Xiang Xiaohan couldn't hold it in today, didn't accomplish his goal on WeChat, and now he's coming straight to the man.
Qiao Lan only looked at her, still leaning against the railing, until Xiang Xiaohan walked up to Qiao Lan and asked her, "I can't believe you didn't listen to me at all."
She thought that Qiao Lan had been scared when she didn't reply to her messages, and that she had gone to question Tan Mo. Xiang Xiaohan was still a bit excited to see if Tan Mo would not come today, and if the two of them would finally have a rift.
Today, Qiao Lan and Tan Mo are both here, not only are they here but they're also wearing couple's clothes, and from the beginning until just now, these two have been getting close to each other, and Tan Mo even kissed Tan Mo directly in front of so many people.
Thinking of that kiss just now, Xiang Xiaohan suddenly clenched his fists.
Qiao Lan finally relented and gave Xiang Xiaohan a straight face, saying, "Why should I listen to you?"
"I'm telling the whole truth!"
Xiang Xiaohan exclaimed, "I still have the information that Tan Mo investigated, if you don't believe me, I can show you!"
"It is not necessary," Qiao Lan said faintly, "I believe it."
Xiang Xiaohan was slightly delighted, but then he heard Qiao Lan say, "And then?"
Even if he did investigate your family and threaten you with something, then what, what do you want to do.
"Aren't you scared?"
Xiang Xiaohan stared roundly, "He's not at all what you think he is, he's so scary and you actually like him?"
Qiao Lan dropped her eyes on Xiang Xiaohan and looked at her with a smile, "Yeah, he's so horrible, so why do you still like him?"
Xiang Xiaohan was stunned, as if he was suddenly poked in the deepest secret of his heart, and then reacted sharply with a sharp retort, "Who likes him!"
"Usually you don't give me any trouble, and now you're so aggressive in trying to break us up, you don't like Tan Mo do you still like me?"
Qiao Lan managed to make a joke while mocking people, "Xiang Xiaohan, do you think I'm stupid?"
Xiang Xiaohan's fondness for Tan Mo was noticed by Qiao Lan in her sophomore year of high school, when she and Tan Mo were not yet together. Xiang Xiaohan mentioned Tan Mo a lot in the dormitory, and later asked Qiao Lan for Tan Mo's news whenever she had the chance.
If it wasn't for the fact that Xiang Xiaohan was not a good person, Qiao Lan would have thought that Xiang Xiaohan really wanted to be good to Tan Mo.
Xiang Xiaohan did not expect Qiao Lan actually saw it, face a burst of green a burst of white, held for a while before slowing down the energy to continue, "Now it's you who are talking about, and I have nothing to do with it, even if I like it, I will never be with him..."
"But don't put gold on your face", Qiao Lan can't help but curse when she hears this, do you think Tan Mo can still be with you?
Xiang Xiaohan is not stupid, understand Qiao Lan this sentence is already obvious mockery, you just want Tan Mo also can not see you, a face more and more embarrassed, "Qiao Lan you do not know good and bad, I kindly remind you so that you can see his true face, lest later regret."
"I repeat, Xiang Xiaohan, don't treat me as a fool", Qiao Lan's face sank, "Do you really think that the ambiguous words you said on WeChat have any credibility. Tan Mo will never provoke others, let alone provoke you, if you didn't do something to push him to the edge, how would he come up with those things and even threaten you", Qiao Lan's voice was stern, "You're the one who is bad and still doesn't know it."
"What exactly did you say to him in the first place", Qiao Lan grabbed Xiang Xiaohan, who was obviously flustered by the questioning, "Say it!"
Xiang Xiaohan kept his mouth shut and just didn't say anything.
Qiao Lan commented, "You always say that I think Tan Mo is too innocent, but now I think it's you who imagines me too innocent, you think I've known Tan Mo for three years, do I not know what Tan Mo is like? Do you think I don't know what Tan Mo is like? Why do you think I'm not afraid, because I can do this kind of thing."
Qiao Lan narrowed her eyes, "Don't think I can't do it, it's just a matter of words, in case you didn't know," Qiao Lan whispered in Xiang Xiaohan's ear, "I'm staying at Tan Mo's house right now."
Xiang Xiaohan crept up, the shock and jealousy on his face was too late to hide this time.
"Want to know why?", Xiang Xiaohan snapped, "Fine, I'll tell you, because that's when I found out Tan Mo that he likes you."
Qiao Lan's grip on Xiang Xiaohan's hand suddenly tightened, Xiang Xiaohan continued, "At that time, he was still disabled, but he actually dared to like you, and hid it so carefully, but I still found out", Xiang Xiaohan gritted his teeth, "I was just curious to ask him, after all, Qiao Lan is so good at studying and so pretty, even Hao Ying is after you. "I was just curious to ask him, after all, Qiao Lan is so good at studying and so pretty, even Hao Ying is after you, what qualification does he have to like you when he is disabled and can't even stand up."
Qiao Lan's head boomed with the thought, only to feel as if his heart had been viciously stabbed, and the pain made his entire body shudder.
At that time, Tan Mo was carefully protected by Qiao Lan every day, and even if the outside world said something unpleasant, Qiao Lan could not let him hear a single word.
The person she so guarded over her heart had heard the world's most execrable sarcasm in a time she hadn't known.
He already had low self-esteem, and now that he's been so good, he still has low self-esteem, and still thinks he's not good enough for her.
What about Tan Mo, who couldn't stand up at that time?
It turned out that his liking was so early, he already liked her before she could even understand the liking; and his feelings were so deep that even after hearing such words, he still hid all his liking from her and pressed it all under his heart.
There are some things that I realize only now, but the thought of them still hurts my heart so much that I can't speak.
No wonder Tan Mo always looked like she had something on her mind back then, always seemed unhappy, and was always careful to keep her at arm's length.
That's why he asked the question, "What if I can't stand up for the rest of my life?"
How much did he like it so much that he didn't dare to say it even though he was in so much pain himself, and how much did he like it so much that he finally decided to give up his guilt for his mother and chose to get back on his feet.
At this moment, how much Qiao Lan's heart aches for Tan Mo, how much he loathes the Xiang Xiaohan in front of him.
"I thought you guys would finally be done, but he actually stood up... Qiao Lan, why are you guys ever so lucky..."
"You shut up!"
Qiao Lan couldn't stand it.
"How much has he suffered, do you know what he has been through, you don't know, but what I have been through, Xiang Xiaohan you wouldn't be unaware of that, you have sound parents and a beautiful family, what position are you standing in to say that you are unlucky, even if you are unlucky that is something that you have brought upon yourself," Qiao Lan said in a harsh tone. "You said Tan Mo is a devil you said she is horrible, what kind of face do you have to say this kind of words, compared to Tan Mo you are more like a devil, using other people's pain to satisfy yourself, Xiang Xiaohan, you are not human at all."
"I don't think Tan Mo is scary at all, I just think it's so sad to be liked by someone like you, Tan Mo."
"Xiang Xiaohan, you're the most disgusting person I've ever met in my life", even more disgusting than Qiao's father Qiao's mother.
Qiao Lan never wanted to speak to Xiang Xiaohan again.
She doesn't want to see the devil who stabbed the knife into Tan Mo's chest.
People like that will get what's coming to them one day, and the more that happens, the better off she'll be with Tan Mo.
Her heart only ached for Tan Mo, to hug Tan Mo, to hug her favorite boy who had suffered so much.
Stepping off the small rooftop, Qiao Lan reenters the box.
The box was still buzzing with activity and the splicing was nearing its end.
Had to get to the end.
Because Hao Ying is completely drunk.
Qiao Lan was really shocked, Hao Ying, a big man of 1.87 meters, hugged his brother who is very close to him and actually cried.
Qiao Lan got closer and heard Hao Ying wiping her tears while wishing Hao Ying, "I wish you all happiness!"
Tan Mo sat on the couch across from him, motionless, and spoke indifferently, "Thank you."
"I'm so fucking uncomfortable," Hao Ying continued to howl, drunkenly pouring out everything he usually didn't say, "for the first time in my life I'm chasing after someone, and I'm actually being robbed..."
Qiao Lan: ...... What kind of robbery is this? She knew Tan Mo much earlier than Hao Ying.
Qiao Lan sat down helplessly beside Tan Mo and asked him in a low voice how he was doing.
"It's okay", Tan Mo looked at her and said, finally speaking kindly to Hao Ying for the first time, "Good luck finding a girlfriend sooner rather than later."
Hao Ying waved his hand, "do not look for, sad through", looked up and saw Qiao Lan, a pair of confused eyes looking at Qiao Lan again turned into the previous aggrieved look affectionate said, "the next day he did not want you you two broke up, remember to come to find me, I've always been I'll always be here. ......"
Tan Mo, who was just thinking about Mendicity: ?????
Taking the bottle in his hand, he instantly wanted to stand up and hit someone.
Qiao Lan, who frowned in pain as Tan Mo squeezed her hand violently: "......"
Why the hell did I come in here?
The buddies who were watching the scene finally stopped watching, a few of them picked up Hao Ying and walked away, "Drunk, drunk, what you say is just farting", and dragged Hao Ying to the other side of the sofa, "Brother, brother, have some tea?"
"No drink," Hao Ying refused while huffing and puffing, "I want to sing."
"OK, OK, OK, OK, what to sing, I'll order for you."
Hao Ying wobbled to his feet, "I'll order it myself."
After half a minute, everyone, including Tan Mo, looked at the title of the song and were speechless.
"I'll be waiting for you.
The first line of the lyrics:
Your heart, unwilling to stop for me, your heart, unwilling to wait for me.
Qiao Lan: ......
Grabbing Tan Mo's hand, "It's getting late, we're going home first", he pulled the man towards the usual exit, blocking Hao Ying's heartbreaking "My tears are falling" at the door.
When she finally walked out, a cool breeze hit her, and Qiao Lan took out her cell phone and said, "Wait for me to drop off a car..."
Before the words left his mouth, Tan Mo suddenly hugged Qiao Lan from behind, and his head heavily knocked on Qiao Lan's shoulder.
