Chapter 5: Being alone

Su Lan went back to the rental house to park, remove makeup, change clothes, and then took a taxi to Su Yu's house. It was already late at night when he entered the house. He helped the servant open the door for her, saying that his wife had gone to bed, and asked Su Lan if she needed to have a midnight snack.

Su Lanshi shook her head and asked the servants to go to bed quickly, and she also wanted to go back to her room to rest.

After washing up and going to bed, I tossed and turned but couldn't sleep.

My brother-in-law Fu Heng stood in the corridor with a wine glass. For the two seconds illuminated by the light, a faint smile seemed to appear on the corner of his lips, but his eyes were too sharp, and even if he smiled, it gave people a sense of oppression.

At that time, I wanted my parents to go to New Zealand to recuperate, so I agreed to live with my cousin's parents. Now Su Lan regrets this decision when she is a little regretful. After all, this brother-in-law seems to be a difficult person to meet.

Miscalculated.

In a daze, she seemed to be asleep, but there seemed to be no more. In the end, Su Lan was awakened by a thunder, and the rumbling sound seemed to explode in her ears, causing her to sit up from the bed, sweating all over her head.

When I came back, I was still full of stars. Now there was lightning and thunder outside, and the roar of wind was like doomsday.

Su Lanshi got off the bed barefoot and didn't turn on the lights. When he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, he happened to see a lightning flash piercing the night sky, illuminating the world in an instant.

Pulling the curtains tightly, she went back to the bed and picked up her phone to take a look at the time. It was only two o'clock in the morning and she lost her sleep for a while, so she put on a thin coat and planned to go downstairs to find water to drink.

I don’t know if it was lightning that broke the circuit and the whole house was out of power, so Su Lan had to use his mobile phone to illuminate it.

He went downstairs to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and got a bottle of water. Su Lan leaned against the scrubber and unscrewed the lid and drank a few sips before he took the water to go back to the room.

At this moment, another lightning flashed across the outside, and the night instantly turned into daylight, followed by a huge thunderclap sound. Su Lanshi was at the kitchen door and was so scared that she was stunned.

The moment the lightning flashed, she saw a man sitting on the sofa in the living room!

Another flash of lightning lit up, and the figure was still sitting steadily on the sofa. Looking closely, the other party was still holding a cigarette in his mouth, and a little scarlet red appeared and fainted.

Is it...Fu Heng?

Su Lanshi was still in shock, so he opened his mouth and spit out two words: Brother-in-law?

A few seconds later, in the rumbling thunder, I vaguely heard the man say her name in a low voice, Su Lanshi?

It's me.Su Lan responded.

After a moment, I heard the man say: Come here.

The tone is very ordinary, but it has an unquestionable sense of oppression, which makes people unconsciously obey.

Su Lanshi was thinking a lot, and soon remembered her well-behaved little white rabbit's character, so she didn't hesitate and walked towards the man's position.

The lightning outside the window disappeared, and the thunder gradually became smaller. The heavy rain hit the floor-to-ceiling windows, making crackling sounds.

The entire space fell into darkness again, only Su Lanshi's mobile phone flashlight shone faintly.

Afraid of thunder?The man grabbed the cigarette in his fingers and raised his chin to look at her.

Although he was sitting and his vision was shorter than that of Sulan, the aura of the superior was far higher than that of Sulan. His eyes were unfathomable and he hid a complex light.

Su Lanshi stood two steps away from him, feeling a little nervous. He didn't know if Fu Heng would associate her with the Su she met in the bar tonight with this close contact.

If he recognizes it, he should question her immediately, right?

No, I was scared by my brother-in-law just now, I don’t know you are sitting here.

The man still looked up at her, laughed softly when he heard this, and said: I'm down before you, sitting here forever, you just haven't seen it.

oh.Su Lanshi responded obediently, that...

She was about to speak, but the man interrupted her first, and then she heard the other party say: It’s boring to smoke alone, can you sit with me?

After saying that, he patted the seat beside her and signaled her to sit down.

Su Lanshi was even more confused. Did he recognize her or did he not?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Su Lan pursed her lips and sat obediently on the sofa, keeping a half-arm distance from him.

It's too weird to be blind, and it's lonely and widowed.

The man around him was very calm, with a smile on his lips and said: I heard from your sister that you have been a good girl since you were a child. You didn't believe it at first, but now you believe it a little.

As he said, he took out the cigarette box from the corner cabinet and handed it over to ask her: Do you know how to smoke?

Su Lanshi lowered his eyes and looked at his cell phone, shook his head, no.

The man smiled again, indeed, good girls don’t smoke.After pausing for a few seconds, he said again: It's okay, I'll teach you.

Sulanshi: …

Brother-in-law, I... don't want to smoke.

The man ignored her words and put half-burned cigarette in his hand on the ashtray, then pulled out one from the cigarette box and handed it to her. When he saw Su Lan didn't answer, he kept handing it, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

After a few seconds of confrontation, Su Lan took the cigarette obediently due to her character design.

So well-behaved.The man had a smile on his words.

With a tingling sound, the lighter was ignited by him, and a tuft of blue flames leaped in front of Sulanshi.
