Chapter 60 Playing Tricks

Chen Shuze looked up, saw his dull eyes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Ran said, "Nothing..."

"You don't look fine," Chen Shuze said, "You can't work like this. Do you want to go downstairs and deal with it first?" Feng

Ran nodded.

He strolled in the small garden downstairs, pondering Shen Zhi's thoughts.

Showing goodwill? Asking for peace?

Or just playing a prank on him when he was bored?

After pondering for a long time without any result, Feng Ran and Chen Shuze asked for leave and went straight to He Chuan's shop.

"He Chuan, He Chuan, where's your cell phone? Lend it to me." He said, lifting the curtain, and when he looked up, he saw the person in the room and stopped.

Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan also turned around, and when their eyes met, several colors surged on his face.

But quickly, he lowered his head, said "I'm leaving first", and passed by Feng Ran.

Feng Ran said, "Wait."

Shen Yuan stopped, but didn't look up.

"What are you doing here?" Feng Ran asked, "You're not here to buy anything, are you?"

Shen Yuan said, "I..."

He Chuan actually spoke for him, "Feng Ran, let him go."

Feng Ran stepped aside. After

the man left, Feng Ran asked, "Why did he come here? What's the matter? He's been here for a few days, why didn't you tell me?"

He Chuan's words choked him: "Family affairs."

"...Okay, okay, your family affairs." Feng Ran said, "Then you can at least lend me your phone."

"It's about Shen Zhi." He Chuan said, handing him the phone, his voice soft, "I'm afraid you'll be unhappy."

Feng Ran wanted to ask what it was, but He Chuan put on the headset again and didn't mean to pay attention to him.

So he walked out the door, lit a cigarette, and dialed the number he remembered.

Not long after, Shen Zhi picked up the phone, his voice cold and stiff: "What's the matter."

Feng Ran said, "It's me."

Silence.

Feng Ran continued, "Why did you transfer so much money to me? I don't want it."

Silence.

Feng Ran: "Speak."

Chen Zhi hesitated, then said cautiously, "I... didn't mean anything else."

Feng Ran suddenly noticed his voice was weak, and he was straining to hold it together, probably not wanting to be noticed.

He softened his tone, saying, "I'll be back. You can keep it for yourself. You need money for health and rest."

There was silence again, and just as he was about to hang up, Chen Zhi suddenly said, "How are you and He Chuan?"

Feng Ran, remembering what had just happened, said, "Pretty good. Just don't let your cousin come to him anymore."

Chen Zhi said, "Okay."

Feng Ran stood alone on the street for a moment, then returned the phone.

"He Chuan," he said, his hands resting on the table, "are you hiding something from me?"

He Chuan neither admitted nor denied it, saying, "Not everything. I need to tell you, do I?"

Feng Ran looked at his lowered eyes, his temper flaring. "Okay, that's what you said. I'm curious. How long have you known Shen Zhi's brother? What benefits has he given you that would warrant you teaming up with him to deal with me?"

He Chuan seemed caught off guard by his outburst, and stood up in a daze.

Feng Ran felt it was pointless to say more and left in a huff.

Chen Shuze sent several messages. He had finished his work and remembered Feng Ran's matter, so he asked what was going on.

Feng Ran carefully chose his words to reply: "It's about my ex-boyfriend."

"Have you dealt with it?" Chen Shuze asked.

"Yeah." In fact, Feng Ran didn't know whether that phone call could be considered handled.

Chen Shuze sent another message: "Our little Feng is really capable. His charm is so great that his ex can't forget him. He didn't forget to send money even after the breakup. When will you teach me so that this fortune can come to me? Thumbs up."

Feng Ran cursed and replied: "Mr. Chen, if you want to learn, I'll cut off your tongue first."

Chen Shuze called and said with a smile: "Will you come tonight?"

He Chuan was not satisfied with Feng Ran's quarrel with He Chuan, but he left so hastily. He Chuan was afraid he would not agree.

He had no reason to obey He Chuan on everything, but after all, he had been a tremendous help, so he had to show him due respect and, on top of that, be even nicer, even nicer… Otherwise, he didn't know how to respond to this kindness.

Chen Shuze said leisurely, "I'm coming. I'll give him a day off tomorrow."

It was a rare opportunity for him to get leave, so Feng Ran had no choice but to say, "Come on."

Feng Ran prepared many excuses to deal with Chen Shuze's possible questions, but that evening, Chen Shuze was considerate and didn't mention anything about the afternoon.

He had some peace and quiet, but the next morning, he was woken by another phone call.

This time, it wasn't from He Chuan, but from Feng Qing.

"Brother, what have you been busy with recently?" asked his sister. "I have two things I want to tell you, but I don't know which one to say first."

Feng Ran stood on the balcony. The sunlight came in, making him feel warm all over. He was still a little confused and cleared his throat: "What's the situation? Let's talk about the important things first."

Feng Qing said: "That Chen Zhi is very ill."

Feng Ran frowned: "Who contacted you recently? Shen Yuan? Or mom? Or..."

"No, no, listen to me first," Feng Qing said, "It has nothing to do with them. It's me. I went back to Jiang City to find my classmates, and then I met Shen Yuan. He took me there and took a look at Shen Zhi." "

No, you went with him alone. What if something happened to him? Why didn't you tell me anything?" Feng Ran raised his voice. Chen Shuze made a little noise behind him and restrained himself a little. "Tell me, what did you do there?"

"Oh, why are you so angry?" Feng Qing said anxiously. "My friend and I went there together. It was nothing serious. Chen Zhi was resting at the time and had no idea I was there. I just took a look from a distance and stayed for less than ten seconds. Shen Yuan said that Chen Zhi was diagnosed with cancer and refused to treat it. I think his condition is really serious, it doesn't seem fake. Why don't you go and see him? But you don't have to go. No one is forcing me to persuade you. It's your own decision."

Feng Ran was speechless for a moment. After being apart for a few months, how could Chen Zhi be so seriously ill?

He murmured, "He, why did he go back to Jiang City? How could he..." Could it be because of me?

Impossible, how could Shen Zhi know he was back...

"I don't know. He rented a small house in the south district of the city. The address is..." Feng Qing hesitated and said, "Brother, maybe he is really dying soon. You..."

"Stop talking." Feng Ran suddenly interrupted.

Feng Qing also felt that it was not auspicious, and said: "Okay, I won't say it. In fact, I am quite annoyed with him, especially before, he occupied you alone and didn't let you contact others. I didn't want to go, but Shen Yuan was crying and almost knelt down in front of me. My friend said that it would be okay to take a look, and I thought so, so I went. After I went, I didn't expect him to become like that. Shen Yuan told me that his new paintings were bought as soon as they were exhibited, and he made more than 800,000. But if he is like this, what's the use of asking for money? It's fate..." Feng

Ran stood on the balcony for a long time, the cigarette on his fingertips burned out, and he didn't know it at all.

Turning around, Chen Shuze was sitting on the sofa behind him, looking at him with a smile: "Why, is it related to your ex-boyfriend again?"

Feng Ran nodded.

"He's sick, I want to go see him."

"Sick? Seriously."

"Yes."

"Then he transferred money to you? It can't be a scam. Do you need me to call the police?"

"No, I'll go and check the situation."

Chen Shuze said, "Let's go. I'll change my clothes."

"No, I'll go by myself."

Chen Shuze insisted, "Then I'll take you."

Feng Ran still shook his head, "I'll go by myself."

Chen Shuze was silent and said, "Who are you that makes you look like this?"

"What?"

"Absent-minded." Chen Shuze smiled, "It started since I received the text message yesterday. What's the matter, Feng Ran, you can't be thinking about other people in my bed, right?"

Feng Ran had no time to analyze whether his words were mean or sarcastic. Without saying a word, he hurriedly put on his clothes and said, "I'm leaving."

Chen Shuze sat there the whole time, silent, and didn't move.
