Extra: Fifteen Years in a Dream 1.

　　The two leaders who had just returned to a relationship did not announce it to the world, but silently put their rings back on.

　　Ruan Zheng handled matters through Jiang Qi, avoiding meeting people, but Luo Yu had to go out, and his ring on the ring finger was so noticeable that he couldn't avoid being asked.

　　He could ignore others, but after a few days, his mother Yu Xinxin came to Pingshi to see her friends, and she saw Luo Yu's ring at a glance.

　　Luo Yu had briefly mentioned his and Ruan Zheng's matters to his father.

　　His father had always had a laissez-faire attitude towards Luo Yu, as long as Luo Yu managed the business well and later had a child, he didn't bother to ask anything else.

　　Luo Yu's mother stared at Luo Yu's hand for a few seconds, and just as Luo Yu was about to explain, she asked, "Are you really going to marry Ruan Zheng? When are you going to do it?" "You even know the name?" Luo Yu didn't expect his mother to be so well-informed.

　　He thought his father wouldn't mention it in such detail.

　　"We won't have a wedding ceremony, it's not suitable." "Can't you let me meet her?" His mother took off her sunglasses, put them in her bag, and asked with dignity.

　　Luo Yu's mother, Yu Xinxin, came from a prestigious family and was a medical doctor.

　　She was not very interested in discussing private life with Luo Yu, but since her son had put on a wedding ring, she had to meet the other half.

　　Luo Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask him what his plans are for lunch.

　　I know you're busy too." Luo Yu immediately called Ruan Zheng and asked if he had time to have a meal together and meet his mother.

　　Ruan Zheng remained silent for two seconds on the other end of the phone and said he had time, asking Luo Yu to send him the address.

　　Ruan Zheng arrived a little late, carrying a shopping bag, and dressed well.

　　Yu Xin Xin saw him coming in, and didn't expect it to be Ruan Zheng.

　　She rushed to speak, "Little friend, did you come to the wrong door?" Luo Yu introduced awkwardly, "Mom, this is Ruan Zheng." Ruan Zheng had been away for a few days and only arrived in Ping City last night.

　　He had just lay down on the bed and was disturbed again by Luo Yu.

　　He hadn't slept much since their short separation, and he wasn't in the best condition.

　　He followed Luo Yu and called out "mom." After calling, he also hesitated for a moment and changed his words, "aunt." "Calling me mom is fine too," Yu Xin Xin laughed at Ruan Zheng's confusion and motioned for him to sit next to her like a little puppy.

　　Ruan Zheng sat down and handed the shopping bag in his hand to Yu Xin Xin, saying, "Luo Yu didn't mention it, so I didn't know you were coming.

　　I bought a small gift downstairs just now." Yu Xin Xin took a look and saw it was a high-end diamond brooch.

　　She asked Ruan Zheng, "You can buy this anywhere in Ping City?" "A customer happened to pick it up for me, and I liked it, so he gave it to me," Ruan Zheng spoke politely and elegantly, pleasing the elders.

　　Yu Xin Xin didn't think much and said, "He's really a good person." "Did he spend a lot of money or pull out a gun?" Luo Yu wasn't easily intimidated, deliberately embarrassing him.

　　Ruan Zheng turned his head to smile at Luo Yu, and Luo Yu unilaterally declared war and then called a truce.

　　Yu Xin Xin found it interesting and said, "Why is Luo Yu suddenly so obedient? Does Little Ruan have compromising photos of you?" Luo Yu didn't dare to be temperamental in front of his mother and shook his head, raising his glass to her, "Please eat more vegetables." "Little Ruan, have we met somewhere before?" Yu Xin Xin suddenly asked.

　　Ruan Zheng paused for a moment and answered, "Yes." Luo Yu turned to ask him, "When?" "When I was younger," Ruan Zheng said, "Aunt saved my life." When Yu Xin Xin heard him say that, she also remembered.

　　She smiled at Ruan Zheng and said, "It's not easy for you to have sent my wallet to the school." "It's my duty," Ruan Zheng also smiled.

　　Luo Yu listened to them as if they were playing dumb, and he desperately wanted to know, but he pretended to not be curious at all and did not join their conversation.

　　Yu Xin Xin looked at Ruan Zheng, who didn't want to talk about it, and changed the subject.

　　That evening, Ruan Zheng and Jiang Qi had to go to a warehouse in the south of the city.

　　Luo Yu took the opportunity when Ruan Zheng wasn't home to call his mother and ask what was really going on.

　　Yu Xin Xin said, "Do you remember when we went to the border for a trip more than ten years ago?" Luo Yu thought for a moment before saying, "I have some recollection." "You definitely don't remember.

　　You and Shen Qi went to a hunting ground and played for a few days," Yu Xin Xin paused before continuing, "During those few days, a little boy fainted near our cabin." It had been a long time since the incident, and Yu Xin Xin recalled it slowly, "He had many injuries, and I helped him with basic treatment, fed him, and let him take a bath.

　　Seeing that he was around the same age as you and was pitiful, I even gave him some money for his trip home.

　　After he left, I realized my wallet was missing, and you said it was that little boy who stole it.

　　Not long after we returned home, a package arrived at my school.

　　It was my wallet, with a note saying that I had accidentally misplaced it.

　　Oh, and there was a photo of you when you were a teenager in the wallet.

　　You were much more handsome back then, full of youth.

　　Little Ruan, on the other hand, looks exactly the same as when he was little, fair and cute."

　　"You said...," Yu Xin Xin said mockingly towards Luo Yu.

　　Luo Yu didn't want to listen anymore and hung up the phone as soon as he found an excuse.

　　Not long after, Ruan Zheng came back, still wearing the youthful sweater from the afternoon.

　　He saw Luo Yu sitting on the sofa, looking at materials on his computer, and walked over to kiss Luo Yu.

　　"Where's Auntie?" Ruan Zheng asked.

　　"She's at the hotel," Luo Yu said, "You almost died in front of my mother when you were young?" Ruan Zheng blinked at Luo Yu, closed his laptop, and said, "Are you trying to trap me, Mr.

　　Luo?" "To trap or not to trap?" Luo Yu embraced his waist and pressed him against his body.

　　Ruan Zheng couldn't help but laugh and whispered in Luo Yu's ear, "Not to trap." Luo Yu saw that he really didn't want to say anything, so he stopped asking.

　　After all, there were other things he wanted to do.

　　2.

　　On the third day after Yu Xin Xin arrived in Ping City, she arranged to meet Ruan Zheng alone.

　　Ruan Zheng brought a gift for Yu Xin Xin, a hard-to-find first edition medical book, which he placed in the car prepared for her by Luo Yu.

　　He took her to have an afternoon tea with a view of the sea.

　　Yu Xin Xin felt that Xiao Ruan was very quiet, like a scholar, and it was impossible for anyone not to like him.

　　If she were to choose a son, she wouldn't hesitate to choose Ruan Zheng.

　　The two of them casually chatted about the weather in Ping City and Luo Yu's bad temper.

　　Suddenly, Yu Xin Xin said, "Xiao Ruan, did you secretly keep a copy of Luo Yu's photo that you sent back to me in my wallet?" Ruan Zheng almost spat out the tea he had just taken a sip of.

　　He stammered for a while before admitting it.

　　Yu Xin Xin laughed at him for a while, looked at her watch, and said she had to leave.

　　Ruan Zheng walked her downstairs.

　　He had originally intended to meet Jiang Qi, but changed his mind and went back home.

　　He hadn't returned to his own place for a long time and had been living with Luo Yu.

　　Ruan Zheng had a safe in his house, which contained his favorite guns, some cash, and a photo.

　　When Ruan Zheng was fourteen years old, he took people to make a delivery on the border.

　　The buyers were some retired soldiers from a neighboring country who were all wicked and desperate.

　　They thought Ruan Zheng looked young and only brought a dozen people with him, thinking that no one would dare to cause trouble.

　　With evil intentions, they tried to double-cross him on the spot after receiving the goods.

　　In the end, only Ruan Zheng walked out alive.

　　He put the diamonds in his backpack, washed away the obvious bloodstains in a nearby stream, and despite being disoriented, his desire to survive was strong.

　　He walked along the path without knowing where he was going until everything went black before him and he passed out.

　　When he woke up, it was Yu Xin Xin who was helping to disinfect the scrapes on his arm.

　　Ruan Zheng remained silent, and after a while, he finally said thank you.

　　Yu Xin Xin asked him about his situation, and Ruan Zheng answered what he could politely.

　　He asked Yu Xin Xin if he could borrow a place to take a shower.

　　The only thing Ruan Zheng's father approved of him was his good recovery ability.

　　He slept in Yu Xin Xin's room for most of the day and felt much better.

　　Now the most important thing was to bring the diamonds back to his father.

　　Yu Xin Xin gave him Luo Yu's clothes and said they were her son's clothes.

　　They might be a bit big, but Ruan Zheng could manage.

　　After Ruan Zheng finished showering, Yu Xin Xin felt even more heartbroken for him.

　　This cute and tender boy hadn't even gone through puberty yet and she didn't know where all these injuries came from.

　　Ruan Zheng wore Luo Yu's clothes, which were a size too big for him, and stood obediently beside Yu Xin Xin.

　　Unable to resist, Yu Xin Xin said, "Should I have someone take you home?" Ruan Zheng shook his head and said he would go back by himself.

　　"Is your family treating you well?"

　　"Yu Xin Xin suspected that his injuries were caused by domestic violence and tentatively asked.

　　Ruan Zheng hesitated for a moment before saying it was okay.

　　Yu Xin Xin couldn't rest assured and took some money from her wallet and insisted on giving it to Ruan Zheng.

　　Ruan Zheng couldn't refuse and accepted it.

　　He also asked Yu Xin Xin for her account number, promising to repay her when he got home.

　　Yu Xin Xin pinched Ruan Zheng's fair face and said, 'If only my troublemaker son at home was half as well-behaved as you.' Ruan Zheng rarely heard anyone praise him and felt a little shy, asking, 'Really?' 'At home, he's like a little tyrant,' Yu Xin Xin said.

　　'Everyone has to listen to him.' Ruan Zheng raised his head and asked, 'Does his dad listen to him too?' 'Nobody can refuse to listen to him,' Yu Xin Xin looked at Ruan Zheng, thinking that this child was quite pitiful, not knowing where to go.

　　The border is chaotic in some areas, but Ruan Zheng didn't answer, perhaps there was some hidden reason, but it wasn't something she should worry about.

　　Ruan Zheng thanked Yu Xin Xin and was about to leave.

　　He picked up his bag and bid her farewell.

　　As he walked outside the small cabin, along the cobblestone path towards the hotel entrance, two teenagers, about fourteen or fifteen years old, passed by carrying backpacks.

　　The taller one of the two had a fierce and handsome appearance, towering over Ruan Zheng by half a head.

　　Every move he made exuded a dangerous aggressiveness.

　　The setting sun cast its rays through the trees, slightly softening his sharp brows and eyes.

　　But he didn't notice Ruan Zheng.

　　As they passed by, he heard the other teenager say, 'Luo Yu, you're just relying on having a better horse than me, right?' Ruan Zheng glanced at Luo Yu, and Luo Yu felt Ruan Zheng's gaze.

　　They briefly locked eyes for a second.

　　Luo Yu's facial features were profound, and he scanned Ruan Zheng's face expressionlessly.

　　Ruan Zheng suddenly felt a dryness in his mouth and his heart racing.

　　Before he had time to think, Luo Yu turned his head without a care and cursed, 'Fuck you, Shen Qiyin.' On his way back home, Ruan Zheng wanted to buy some food.

　　When he opened his bag, he found that Yu Xin Xin's wallet had somehow ended up in his bag.

　　He opened it and saw Luo Yu's photo.

　　Luo Yu was leaning against a tree, looking aloof and superior, as if he didn't care about anyone.

　　'If only he could see me,' Ruan Zheng thought.

　　Lost in his thoughts, he saved a copy of the photo and found Yu Xin Xin's school address, then mailed the wallet to her.

　　3.

　　In Ruan Zheng's second year in Ping City, Luo Yu's family also moved to Ping City.

　　Jiang Qi had long noticed Ruan Zheng's interest in Luo Yu but hadn't revealed it.

　　He kept a copy of anything related to Luo Yu and caught Ruan Zheng secretly looking at them several times.

　　Jiang Qi initially thought Ruan Zheng was studying his opponent's information to gain an advantage, but Ruan Zheng's interest in Luo Yu seemed genuine and grew stronger over time.

　　Finally, two years later, one day, Ruan Zheng spread several photos on his desk.

　　Jiang Qi walked over and asked what he was doing.

　　Ruan Zheng propped his chin on his hand and said, 'What do you think these people have in common?' 'Are they all effeminate?' Jiang Qi speculated after studying the photos.

　　Ruan Zheng pondered and said, 'They all resemble me.' Jiang Qi almost knelt down in disbelief, thinking to himself, 'Please don't call yourself effeminate again.

　　I almost forgot the word 'effeminate' existed.' 'Go invite Luo Yu for me,' Ruan Zheng said.

　　'I'll sign it.' 4.

　　Ruan Zheng didn't wait for Luo Yu."

　　Jiang Qi knew that he had waited all night and for a few more days before he finally saw Ruan Zheng.

　　Ruan Zheng was still the same, looking gentle and peaceful, very amiable and easy to get along with.

　　Jiang Qi thought for a moment before asking him, "How is it?" Ruan Zheng replied, "Ruan Zheng may not be able to do it." -End-
