Chapter 90: Heartache

Tan Mo and Hao Ying's sparring match has reached a fever pitch.

Hao Ying, in particular, has a handsome face where the drunkenness is clearly visible.

Even the most able drinkers can't hold on to too much, not to mention the fact that Hao Ying had already had a lot to drink before.

Drunk people are so annoying.

Qiao Lan can't help but sigh.

Hao Ying's attitude towards Qiao Lan has always been quite decent, probably because she likes her, so she is still a bit of a coward when it comes to Qiao Lan, no matter how much she tries to be mean to others.

But a drunken Hao Ying can be as annoying as she is unreasonable!

Qiao Lan was kept away from Tan Mo with the unbelievably cheeky statement that "men don't need women to fight each other".

Qiao Lan: "......???"

Bai Yu, who had been watching with great enthusiasm before, lost interest in watching, and dragged Qiao Lan to the side to sing.

Qiao Lan was not interested in singing and Tan Mo Hao Ying was already surrounded by boys, so Qiao Lan had to give up.

Hao Ying looks pretty drunk already, but Tan Mo seems to be okay.

Still the same indifferent look as before, cold, not saying much, not much different from the way he started drinking.

Qiao Lan was relieved, and after playing with her phone for a while, she felt bored and went out for some fresh air.

Even if this box is big, it is a bit stuffy with dozens of people crammed into one room.

There is a small rooftop at the very edge of this ktv, and the night breeze is not very cool in June, so it is comfortable to blow on your body.

Qiao Lan leaned over the railing, looking at the distant streetlights, and took a rare moment of relaxation, only to turn his head when he heard the sound of footsteps.

It is Xiang Xiaohan who is here.

Qiao Lan was not too surprised and even expected.

Yesterday Xiang Xiaohan sent Qiao Lan a lot of weibo messages.

In a WeChat message, Xiang Xiaohan asks Qiao Lan if she knows what Tan Mo is like in private, and if she knows that Tan Mo, who looks so innocent and clean, is in fact a demon.

Xiang Xiaohan said Tan Mo had investigated her family's situation and was said to have taken revenge on her family by saying he would make his parents lose their jobs and get her off campus.

[Tan Mo is a devil, you are simply being cheated by him], Xiang Xiaohan said, [Are you scared, knowing that the boy you like is actually such a person?]

This is what Xiang Xiaohan finally asked.

Qiao Lan did not return.

As expected Xiang Xiaohan couldn't hold back today, he didn't achieve his goal on WeChat and now he's coming straight for someone.

Qiao Lan only looked at her, still leaning against the railing, until Xiang Xiaohan came up to Qiao Lan and asked her, "I can't believe you didn't listen to me at all."

She thought Qiao Lan had been shocked when she didn't reply to her messages and had gone to confront Tan Mo, and Xiang Xiaohan was a little excited to see if Tan Mo would not come today and if there would finally be a rift between the two.

The two have been together since the beginning, and Tan Mo even kissed Tan Mo in front of all those people.

Xiang Xiaohan suddenly clenched his fists when he thought of the kiss he had just received.

Qiao Lan finally gave Xiang Xiaohan a straight face and said, "Why should I listen to you?"

"I'm telling you the whole truth!"

Xiang Xiaohan said excitedly, "I still have the information Tan Mo has investigated, if you don't believe me, I can show you!"

"It is not necessary," Qiao Lan said lightly, "I believe it."

Xiang Xiaohan's heart was slightly pleased, but then he heard Qiao Lan say, "And then what?"

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's eyes rounded up, "He's not at all what you think he is, he's so horrible and you still like him?"

Qiao Lan dropped her eyes on Xiang Xiaohan and looked at her with a smirk, "Yeah, he's so horrible, so why do you still like him?"

Xiang Xiaohan was stunned, as if he had been suddenly poked at his deepest secret, and then reacted with a sharp retort, "Who likes him!"

"You've been giving me trouble in general, 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 taunting people, " Xiang Xiaohan , do you think I'm stupid?"

Xiang Xiaohan was aware of her love for Tan Mo when she was a sophomore in high school. At that time, she and Tan Mo were not yet together, and Xiang Xiaohan talked about Tan Mo a lot in the dormitory, and would ask Qiao Lan about Tan Mo whenever she had the chance.

Qiao Lan would have thought that Xiang Xiaohan really wanted to be good to Tan Mo if he hadn't found out later that Xiang Xiaohan was a bad person.

Xiang Xiaohan didn't expect Qiao Lan to see it, and his face turned blue and white for a while before he could hold his breath and continue, "It's about you guys now, not about me.

"Don't flatter yourself," says Qiao Lan, who can't help but curse when he hears this... Did you think Tan Mo would still be with you?

Xiang Xiaohan is not stupid, he understands that Qiao Lan's statement is already a clear 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 to let you see his true face early, so as not to regret later."

"I repeat, Xiang Xiaohan, don't treat me like a fool", Qiao Lan's face sank, "How much credibility do you really think the ambiguous things you said on your WeChat can have? Tan Mo would never take the initiative to provoke others, let alone you. If you hadn't done something to push him over the edge, how would he have made those things and even threatened you", Qiao Lan's voice was stern, "You're the kind of person who doesn't know you're bad!

"What did you say to him in the first place", Qiao Lan said, grabbing Xiang Xiaohan, who was clearly flustered by the questioning, "Tell me!"

Xiang Xiaohan kept his mouth shut and just didn't say anything.

Qiao Lan laughed coldly, "You always say I think Tan Mo is too innocent, but now I think you think I am too innocent. I don't know what kind of person he is? Why do you think I'm not afraid, because I'm capable of doing such things."

Qiao Lan narrowed his eyes, "Don't think I can't do it, it's just a matter of words, you probably don't know that", Qiao Lan whispered in Xiang Xiaohan's ear, "I'm living in Tan Mo's house right now."

Xiang Xiaohan looked up abruptly, shock and jealousy on his face, this time too much to hide.

"You want to know why," Xiang Xiaohan said suddenly, "well, I'll tell you, because that's when I found out Tan Mo liked you."

Qiao Lan's grip on Xiang Xiaohan's hand suddenly tightened, and Xiang Xiaohan continued, "At that time he was still disabled, but he dared to like you, and he hid it so carefully, but I still found out", Xiang Xiaohan said through clenched teeth. "I was just curious to ask him, after all, Qiao Lan was so good in studies and so beautiful, even Hao Ying was after you, how could he dare to like you when he was disabled and couldn't even stand up?"

Qiao Lan's head exploded with thought, and he felt as if he had been stabbed hard in the heart, so much so that his whole body was shaking with pain.

At that time, Tan Mo was carefully protected by himself every day, and Qiao Lan could not let him hear a single word, even if the outside world said something unpleasant.

The person she so protects over her heart has heard the most heartbreaking irony in the world in a time she didn't know.

He already had an inferiority complex, and now that he has become so good, he still has an inferiority complex and still feels that he is not good enough for her.

At that time, Tan Mo was still unable to stand up.

It turned out that he had liked her so early, before she had understood the liking; and his feelings were so deep that even after hearing such words, he still hid all his liking from her and suppressed it all under his heart.

There are some things that I only know now, but it still hurts my heart too much to say when I think about it.

No wonder Tan Mo always looked like she had something on her mind, always seemed unhappy, and was always careful to keep her distance.

That's why he asks questions like "if I can't stand up for the rest of my life".

How much did he like it so much that he was afraid to say it even though he was in such pain, and how much did he like it so much that he finally decided to give up his guilt about his mother and chose to get back on his feet.

At this moment, Qiao Lan's heart goes out to Tan Mo, and he loathes Xiang Xiaohan.

"I thought you were finally ready to end it, but he actually got up, Qiao Lan , why are you always so lucky..."

"You shut up!"

Qiao Lan couldn't stand it.

"You don't know, but you don't know what I've been through, Xiang Xiaohan. You have good parents and a good family, who are you to say you're unlucky? "You call Tan Mo a devil, you call her horrible, how dare you say such things, you are more like a devil than Tan Mo, using other people's pain to satisfy yourself, Xiang Xiaohan, you are not human."

"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 are the most disgusting person I have ever met in my life", even more disgusting than Qiao's father Qiao's mother.

Qiao Lan never wants to say a word to Xiang Xiaohan again.

She didn't want to see the demon who had stabbed Tan Mo in the heart.

People like this will get what they deserve one day, and the more this happens, the better off she will be with Tan Mo.

Her heart only ached for Tan Mo and she wanted to hug him, her favourite boy who had suffered so much.

After stepping out onto the small rooftop, Qiao Lan re-enters the box.

The box is still buzzing with activity and the splicing is nearing its end.

Had to get to the end.

Because Hao Ying is completely drunk.

Qiao Lan was shocked that Hao Ying, a 6'7" man, was crying while hugging his best friend.

Qiao Lan came closer and heard Hao Ying wiping her tears as she wished Hao Ying, "May you be happy!"

Tan Mo sat on the sofa opposite, motionless, and spoke very indifferently, "Thank you."

"I feel so fucking bad," Hao Ying continued, pouring out all the things he normally doesn't say when he's drunk, "I'm chasing someone for the first time in my life and I'm actually getting snatched away..."

Qiao Lan: ...... What kind of robbery is this? She knew Tan Mo much earlier than Hao Ying.

Qiao Lan sat helplessly beside Tan Mo and asked him in a whisper how he was doing.

"It's okay," Tan Mo said, giving her a look and finally speaking kindly to Hao Ying for the first time, "Good luck finding a girlfriend soon."

Hao Ying waved his hand, "I'm not looking, I'm sad", after looking up and seeing Qiao Lan, a pair of dazed eyes looked at Qiao Lan again turned into the previous aggrieved look affectionately, "In the future, one day when he doesn't want you, you two break up, remember to come to me, I've always been I'm always here ......"

Tan Mo, who was just feeling the Mendicant: ????

Holding the bottle in his hand, he instantly wanted to stand up and hit someone.

Qiao Lan who cringed in pain as Tan Mo squeezed her hand violently: "......"

Why on earth would I want to come in?

The guys next to him finally stopped watching and picked Hao Ying up and walked away, "You're so drunk, just take what you say as a fart", dragging Hao Ying to the other side of the sofa, "Brother, have some tea?"

"No," Hao Ying refused as she huffed and puffed, "I want to sing."

"OK, OK, OK, sing something, I'll order it for you."

Hao Ying wobbled to his feet, "I'll order it myself."

Half a minute later, everyone, including Tan Mo, was speechless at the song title.

I'll be waiting for you

First line of the song.

Your heart, unwilling to stop for me, your heart, unwilling to wait for me.

Qiao Lan: ......

He grabbed Tan Mo's hand and said, "It's late, let's go home first", pulling her out of the door, leaving Hao Ying's heartbreaking "my tears are falling down" outside.

When he finally walked out, the cool breeze hit him and Qiao Lan took out his phone and said, "Wait for me to drop a car..."

Before the words were out of his mouth, Tan Mo suddenly grabbed Qiao Lan from behind and banged his head hard on Qiao Lan's shoulder.
