New York City, USA, 8 o'clock in the morning.

"An, I won't accompany you to the airport."

Sitting in the taxi, the two of them were silent for a while.

"It doesn't matter. I know you won't be able to stay long if you sneak out."

"And now that you are a big star, you should really pay attention to the impact of some public appearances."

An Ran secretly glanced at Ai Li who was sitting next to her, but An Ran didn't see any expression on her face.

During the dozens of minutes on the way into the city, Ellie spoke only a handful of times.

“Now that flights are so convenient, why can’t we just go wherever we want?”

"Are you right?"

An Ran turned her head, wanting to see Ai Li's expression.

"Oh my god, why are you crying?"

Just when she turned her head, she saw Ellie's forehead leaning against the glass, with two tears hanging on her cheeks.

Unlike the earth-shattering cry, Ellie didn't make a sound when she cried.

Only tears flowed down his cheeks.

There were two traces of tears hanging on her face that could be broken by blows.

So An Ran raised her hand to help her wipe away her tears.

"Do not touch me"

Ellie shook her head violently, her hair swaying like a rattle.

Without raising his head, he stopped An Ran's hand and turned to look out the window again.

"What's wrong? I'm suddenly unhappy."

"Have you been trained by your manager? Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid."

Looking over, he could only see Ellie's golden hair, and An Ran shook her head helplessly.

Then he put his big hand on Ellie's hair and patted it gently.

Feeling a warmth on her back, Ai Li knew that An Ran was gently stroking her hair.

After trembling slightly, she acquiesced to his behavior.

The reason why he didn't want to deal with An Ran was simply his decision to return to China as soon as he was released from prison.

You can obviously feel your feelings for him, why should you be so heartless?

In fact, Ellie herself doesn't think about becoming boyfriend and girlfriend now.

But Ellie wanted to give herself a chance to discover and understand Anron.

Girls always have a male god in their hearts, but when they really fall in love, it is not just because of the outstanding advantages of the other person.

It's about whether his shortcomings can be tolerated.

Obviously, An Ran didn't like herself.

Maybe, but not to the point where I want to try to be boyfriend and girlfriend with myself.

"Just get off the car here. I have to wait here for my agent to pick me up, otherwise it will be troublesome to meet fans or paparazzi."

In front of a hotel, the two got out of the car.

Realizing that she was angry, An Ran didn't know what to do at all.

“You can take the E subway line from here to JFK International Airport.”

"The flight I booked for you is at four o'clock in the afternoon. You still have enough time to have lunch."

"Here are all the documents you need. I've sorted them out for you."

Ai Li said as she helped An Ran adjust her collar.

However, the eyes did not look at him.

"An, let's go."

"Actually, I don't have to leave the United States. It's not because I don't like the United States. It's not because I want to stay away from you."

"But you are obviously resentful when you do this. You are resentful."

"The resentment is unfair. The resentment came to the United States and served two years in prison for no reason."

"You regret that you saved me, that you offended that powerful man by saving me, and that you lost your job."

"I regret losing two years of youth."

She didn't expect that her words would cause such a big reaction from her.

"Do you really miss me that much?"

"I"

An Ran smiled bitterly, it turned out that she was such a person in her heart.

"I'm sorry, Ann, actually I..."

"It's nothing. Go back quickly. You will be easily recognized on the street."

In an instant, it seemed as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

I have never felt so desperate before knowing that I was being tried and sent to prison.

"Ann, are you okay?"

"It's okay, of course I'm okay."

Turning around with a smile, An Ran picked up her only bag and ran to the subway station without looking back.

In just a few seconds, his figure disappeared from the doorway.

Watching him being swallowed up bit by bit by the crowd, Ellie stood stupidly on the roadside with an expressionless face.

"Are you really stupid? You know I didn't mean it."

Ellie scratched her hair and thought angrily.

This is a woman, a duplicitous woman.

Sitting on a China Southern Airlines Boeing plane, I looked at the Chinese stewardess.

Only then did An Ran feel a touch of kindness.

"Sir, what would you like to drink?"

Seeing that she also had yellow skin, the flight attendant tried to ask in Chinese.

"A glass of water will do."

In the past four years, An Ran had hardly spoken Chinese, which made An Ran somewhat uncomfortable speaking.

When he was not in prison before, he often contacted his family and friends.

In the next two years, I didn't even speak a word of Chinese.

I wanted to edit a text message to explain to Ellie, but found that my phone had already been turned off.

"Hey, forget it. Let's wait until we have a chance later."

"What ability can a poor boy who has just been released from prison have to bring you happiness? Ellie, you may not care, but I do."

"What's more, I don't know if Ziyun is married."

"After you get off the plane, you can go and see Nie Fangyuan first. I don't know if he is still at Shandong University at this time."

Thinking of this best friend when he was in the school team, An Ran felt much better.

My only close brother, I wonder if he still remembers me.

We haven’t contacted each other for several years and I owe them a lot.

Then I thought about it and fell asleep peacefully.

"Didn't he hit me?"

Xie Ziyun's heart has been beating wildly since she received the phone call at noon.

She had a hunch that it must have been An Ran.

So I called back immediately after I rushed back.

Unexpectedly, the person who received the call was not An Ran, but he claimed that he was just a waiter and did not know which customer made the call.

He only remembered that the customer seemed to be over 1.9 meters tall.

"Sister, don't wait, I won't call you."

"Anron, it must be Anron!"

It's already early morning in China, but Xie Ziyun doesn't feel sleepy at all.

"I have a hunch that it must have been him who hit me, and he will hit me again!"

"Sister, you've had enough. I've done it for the dozens of times and it's time to go to sleep."

After turning off the lights, Xie Ziyun still didn't feel sleepy at all.

A pair of big eyes shone cunningly in the dim room.

"Since he still contacts me, it means he still has me in his heart."

"Am I pretending to be cool to scare him?"

"Or should I say right away that I miss him very much?"

"Oh my, I'm so confused. I have to figure out how to talk to him first."

At this moment, An Ran didn't know that his return to China would already have so many chain reactions.

What I didn't even know was that on the day he left, the American media exposed the affair between him and Ellie.

"Elle Fanning, the Goddess Falls to Earth"

"Mysterious Man's Night Party with Ellie, Suspected to Stay Overnight"

"Late Night Date: The Story Elle and I Have to Tell"

In just one night, Enron information has made headlines in major entertainment sectors in the United States.

But An Ran, who flew to China, was unaware of it.
