Scarlett Ran's Quantum Leap Chapter 10

"Well, your house is so big." Scarlett Ran looked around in the living room and started to look for words.

"It's not my house. It's rented for work convenience." Finley Mo handed her the water glass, "I can't buy a house yet, and I'm not qualified to buy a house."

"Eligibility to buy a house?" For Scarlett Ran, who had never considered buying a house, these four words were too unfamiliar and had never been heard of.

"Well, I haven't paid social security for enough years, so I can't settle down yet and I'm not qualified to buy a house." Finley Mo explained.

"Buying a house is so complicated?" Scarlett Ran understood for the first time, "How many years of social security do I need to pay?"

Finley Mo: "Ten years."

"That's really difficult." Scarlett Ran sighed.

"It's not that difficult." Finley Mo adjusted his sleeves nonchalantly, "If you win a prize like you, you can also be qualified to buy a house."

"Is this award so great?" Scarlett Ran touched her face, "It's a pity that my qualifications can't be transferred to you. I don't need a house and it's useless to keep it."

Finley Mo turned to look at her but said nothing.

"Ah, by the way, midnight snack." Scarlett Ran remembered the business, "Whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you."

"It doesn't matter if you want to eat expensive food. No, no, it must be expensive. I want to have a big meal today, you choose, I treat you. Just treat it as a celebration that I won the prize. I just gave out the bonus, Don't save money for me." Scarlett Ran waved his hand proudly.

"I saw the news. Outstanding young scientists have a bonus of two million. Has it been received?" Finley Mo asked.

Hearing this, Scarlett Ran's eyes widened, "What did you say, two million?"

When the staff asked for her bank card account number and said the bonus would arrive later, Scarlett Ran thought it was only tens of thousands, not even two hundred thousand, but now she was told it was two million.

I hurriedly opened my mobile phone to search and found the press release that won today's award. Sure enough, as Finley Mo said, the news also stated that in addition to receiving medals, the winners will also receive a bonus of two million.

"This much money... I thought it was only 20,000." Scarlett Ran was stunned. "The bonus hasn't arrived yet, but I have money, so you can do whatever you want and don't worry."

"Okay." Finley Mo's lips curved slightly and he looked at Scarlett Ran. "That's it."

"Click." Scarlett Ran looked at Finley Mo without knowing why.

"You said a treat, how can you order it if you don't have your mobile phone?" Finley Mo asked.

"Ah," Scarlett Ran quickly handed over the phone, "Please order, I won't order if I haven't already."

Finley Mo took her phone and swiped it a few times, "I'll order it. You don't have a takeout app on your phone, how can you order it?"

"Is it a takeout app?" Scarlett Ran looked at the several apps on his phone, and indeed none of them looked like they could order takeout.

"I am completely out of touch with the outside world." Scarlett Ran sighed.

"Use my order." Finley Mo opened the mobile takeout app, scrolled down a few pages and asked, "How about some chicken soup wontons?"

"Okay." Scarlett Ran has no pursuit of food, "I'll transfer the money to you."

"Yeah." Finley Mo opened WeChat, "I just saw that you have WeChat, please add me to transfer money."

"Okay." The teacher's wife said that the video was convenient two days ago and taught Scarlett Ran to download and register it.

Scarlett Ran sent a friend application to Finley Mo. Finley Mo was silent for two seconds in front of her gray initial avatar and agreed to "Ran"'s friend application.

"Finley Mo," Scarlett Ran called his name softly.

Finley Mo looked up, waiting for her to continue.

"I'm sorry." Scarlett Ran said solemnly, "Back then, I left a text message saying that I wanted to break up with you when I went abroad. It was very irresponsible."

Finley Mo looked at her, the emotions in his eyes were so complicated that it was difficult to read. After a while, I heard him say: "There is no need to say sorry about this. What you do must be kept secret. It is right not to tell me."

"But there should be a better way to deal with it." Scarlett Ran frowned, "I shouldn't let everyone worry about me."

"What else can we do?" Finley Mo asked, "If a person disappears out of thin air, people who are close to him for whatever reason can find something is wrong. Your roommate and I don't believe that you have gone abroad. We all vaguely know What did you do? You just need an answer. You can't give us this answer, you can only get it by waiting patiently."

"You've done a great job. You didn't keep us waiting for this answer for a long time. And what you did was what you had to do. I'm not a great person, and I don't think you did it from beginning to end. wrong."

Scarlett Ran turned her head, not wanting Finley Mo to see her expression. she

She has always felt guilty for her sudden departure, but everyone who said she was sorry told her that she didn't need to apologize. The knot that made her brood was solved by Finley Mo.

"There is only one thing you need to apologize to me for." Finley Mo said.

Scarlett Ran: "What?"

"Why didn't you contact me immediately after you came back?" Finley Mo asked.

What should I say, Scarlett Ran thought. It means that she doesn't have Finley Mo's current contact information and doesn't know how to contact him. Or do you want to say that you don't want to disturb his life and have a bad influence on him.

"Because I'm too timid." Scarlett Ran finally chose the truest answer and answered frankly.

When doing experiments, Scarlett Ran always has the courage to try boldly and has the perseverance to persevere. But when it comes to matters related to feelings, she is timid and passive, and dare not take a step forward.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Today was probably the day that Scarlett Ran apologized the most in his entire life.

"Well, I received your apology." Finley Mo said, "This is the only thing you need to apologize to me for. As for the rest...the rest are my own choices, you don't have to feel sorry. "

Scarlett Ran pursed her lips tightly, but her mood did not lighten up because of his words.

"Okay, I've said my apology, are we still friends?" Finley Mo asked.

Scarlett Ran smiled and replied: "Of course."

She never knew how to define her relationship with Finley Mo. After all, they had not been in contact for eight years. Now that Finley Mo took the initiative to choose a position, Scarlett Ran breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little disappointed at the same time.

From the day we met, Finley Mo has always been gentle and tolerant. He grew up in an environment of a lot of love, knew how to love and be loved, and could always take care of Scarlett Ran's mood.

At this time, the doorbell rang, and Scarlett Ran came back from her thoughts. It's time to arrive outside.

The security guard delivered the takeout to the door. Finley Mo thanked him and took it, then went to the kitchen and took out two bowls.

He took two wontons of each flavor and pushed the rest to Scarlett Ran.

"Is that all you eat?" Scarlett Ran couldn't believe it.

"Well, I'm going to shoot somewhere else tomorrow afternoon. If I don't even eat these two wontons during the morning shoot, my face will be swollen." Finley Mo has very high demands on himself and must appear in front of the audience in his best condition. . It is precisely because of this high requirement that it can be loved by so many audiences and recognized by the industry.

Scarlett Ran heard these statements for the first time and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not easy for you to work."

Finley Mo is already thin enough and has been keeping fit, but in order to look good on camera, he still has to hold himself to almost strict standards.

"It's okay, I can eat it all, it won't be wasted." Scarlett Ran has been hungry for a long time, and now is her chance to show off her talents.

"I know you've always had a good appetite." Finley Mo said with a smile.

"Mental work also consumes a lot of energy." Scarlett Ran decided to start with the bowl of vegetarian wontons on the left as an appetizer.

"You won't get fat no matter how much you eat." Finley Mo looked at Scarlett Ran's slender arms and wondered how many people envied her physique.

"Well, I won't get fat if I eat." Scarlett Ran poured the vinegar packet into the bowl. "The doctor saw it before and said it was related to malnutrition when I was a child, so I won't get fat if I eat."

Finley Mo was stunned, and he didn't expect this to be the reason. "Have you seen a doctor for treatment?"

"It's nothing." Scarlett Ran ate a wonton. The expensive wontons were indeed delicious. "As long as I don't gain weight, it doesn't have any other effects. I'm very healthy now."

Finley Mo was still worried and felt that it was not as easy as she said. "Why don't you find a Chinese medicine practitioner to treat you?"

Scarlett Ran shook her head, "It doesn't really matter. I had a doctor at the base check it out before. There's nothing wrong with it, as long as I eat a balanced diet."

"Okay." Finley Mo didn't force it, but he kept it in mind and thought about consulting a famous doctor if he had the chance to meet him in the future.

There were only four wontons in total for the late night snack. Finley Mo ate them carefully for a long time. Scarlett Ran finished the whole bowl and he only ate half of it.

Seeing Scarlett Ran pouring another packet of vinegar, Finley Mo asked her: "Do you want to eat pickles? Are they made at home?"

"Okay." Scarlett Ran felt that the wontons were fragrant, but they tasted too bland.

"Yeah." Finley Mo stood up and walked to the kitchen.

Scarlett Ran raised her head and looked at his back in a daze.

Eight years has been too long, and their life trajectories have undergone earth-shaking changes from eight years ago.

During the few hours she reunited with Finley Mo, she felt that they were already in two different worlds, and that the most familiar things about each other had not changed, and that there was no gap left by time between them.
