Tang Ran had a wide variety of inspection items this time, and some of them needed an extra long time to get the inspection reports of. The longest one wouldn’t come out until the next day.
Naturally, it was impossible for Luo Zhan and Tang Ran to stay in the hospital waiting for the test results. So Luo Zhan made an appointment with Jia Junxi’s office over the phone to come to the hospital tomorrow morning to pick up all the test reports and then go to the office to find him. Luo Zhan then led Tang Ran out of the private hospital.
It was quiet all the way to the parking lot.
When they were about to reach the dazzling bright red supercar, the girl who was walking slowly holding Luo Zhan’s arm suddenly spoke in a very soft voice: “Luo Zhan, are you unhappy?”
Luo Zhan’s eyes fell back.
The little girl lowered her head slightly, “Ever since I said you were my brother in the corridor, you seem to have not spoken much… I’m sorry, I didn’t know you cared about this, and I won’t do it again.”
The little girl’s soft apology sounded gentle and harmless, but also a little uneasy and cautious.
“Are you used to admitting your mistakes?” Luo Zhan raised his hand and rubbed the girl’s head, “I don’t mind. You don’t need to apologize for anyone’s attitude.”
Tang Ran hesitated and answered honestly: “Not anyone.”
“Um?”
The little girl raised her face and said seriously: “Luo Zhan… is different.”
Luo Zhan was slightly startled, then asked with a lazy smile: “What’s the difference?”
Tang Ran tilted his head and struggled for a while before finding a suitable definition: “You’re a friend. Besides Granny, you are the best person to me.”
“…”
Luo Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a few seconds, he lowered his head and clicked his tongue in pleasure and a little displeasure: “I must ask you to remove ‘besides’ from now on.”
The words were spoken low and vaguely. Tang Ran didn’t hear them clearly and turned around blankly: “Huh?”
“Nothing, just get in the car.”
Luo Zhan unlocked the supercar by remote control, opened the door for Tang Ran, and bent down to help the girl get into the passenger seat.
After squatting down and fastening Tang Ran’s seat belt, Luo Zhan walked around the front of the car and got into the car.
Before inserting the car keys and igniting the ignition, Luo Zhan suddenly thought of something. He stopped his hand and turned to look beside him: “I don’t mind, but I’m a little curious.”
“?” Tang Ran turned around.
Luo Zhan asked: “Why did you say that when they asked about me in the hospital just now?”
Tang Ran paused hesitantly.
After more than ten seconds, Luo Zhan heard the girl whisper: “I don’t want them to look at you strangely.”
Luo Zhan’s eyes flashed with emotion. After a moment, he lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth silently, leaning on the steering wheel with one hand, “Do you know what they think of me?”
Tang Ran was quiet for two seconds, “The first time we met, at the bus station, you said we looked like father and daughter.”
Luo Zhan: “…”
This was really shooting himself in the foot.
Luo Zhan was angry and funny, “So in your impression, I am an old man?”
Tang Ran shook her head, bent her eyes, and showed a rare playful smile: “I know you are not. The store manager said that you are very good-looking, and many girls in K University are chasing you.”
Luo Zhan: “Since you know it, why do you still say that?”
Tang Ran’s smile faded and she frowned slightly. After hesitating for a while, the girl said quietly and honestly: “I’m afraid they will misunderstand that I am your girlfriend.”
“Beep——”
Luo Zhan’s figure froze and he accidentally pressed the car horn.
After the harsh sound, a rare hint of panic flashed in Young Master Luo’s eyes. He leaned back in the car seat and coughed uncomfortably: “So what if they misunderstand… They don’t know us either.”
Tang Ran shook her head and answered seriously: “The store manager said that you are four years older than me, and you must be very tall, so they will treat you as the kidnapper of a minor.”
“…” Luo Zhan laughed, “You still know about abducting minors?”
Tang Ran was very honest: “The first lesson the braille teacher in the ideological and moral class taught me was a legal lesson related to my own safety and protection awareness.”
“Yeah, I understand.”
Luo Zhan leaned back slightly, looked at the blue sky above him, and smiled lazily: “Because I’m four years older than you, am I a pervert if I accompany you out or act like your boyfriend?”
Tang Ran was stunned.
In her opinion, the word “pervert” was a very serious and vicious derogatory term. She had almost no access to the Internet, and naturally had no idea that this word was often used by young people to laugh at themselves or each other.
After a few seconds passed, she shook her head in a panic: “No, that’s not what I meant. How could you be…”
“Am I not a pervert?”
“Of course not!”
“…” Luo Zhan lowered his voice and smiled hoarsely: “Then you have made a big mistake. Your ideological and moral teacher has taught you so much in vain.”
Tang Ran: “?”
“I’m a pervert.”
The man said in a casual and offbeat tone. He turned on the key, started the car, and drove out.
There was still a lazy smile in the lingering voice——
“So when your eyes are healed, you have to run away if you see me again, little girl.”
The car was noisy as it passed by, but the inside of the car was quiet for a while.
The little girl lowered her head thoughtfully and murmured in a low voice: “That’s not true.”
When they came out of the hospital parking lot, it was already after two o’clock in the afternoon.
In order to prepare for the examination, Tang Ran didn’t eat breakfast. Luo Zhan chose a nearby recommended restaurant for the navigation destination and drove there.
The restaurant was located in an isolated location and covered a large area. Luo Zhan’s car drove up to the porch and stopped. The door on the passenger side of the car was opened by the welcoming waiter. As soon as the waiter saw the little girl sitting inside with her eyes closed, he saw that the young man who got off the driver’s seat had already walked next to him.
“Let me come.”
“Yes, sir.” The waiter took a step back and gave up his position to Luo Zhan.
Luo Zhan leaned over and helped the little girl out of the car.
The waiter standing next to him confirmed what he had just discovered – the quiet and beautiful girl in the passenger seat was blind.
He looked at his colleague on the other side of the car in slight surprise, and then suppressed his gaze and said, “Sir, Miss, please come with me.”
“…”
Located in a completely unfamiliar city, this restaurant focused on creating a private environment for guests to dine in. All the way into the restaurant, Luo Zhan noticed that the girl’s hand on his arm was slowly tightening, with obvious uneasiness.
Taking advantage of a corner, he turned into a blind spot of the waiter. Luo Zhan leaned over and said, “What are you afraid of? Am I going to kidnap you?”
Tang Ran lowered her head in embarrassment: “It feels like this place is very big, very quiet, and there are not many guests. It’s a bit eerie…”
Luo Zhan was startled.
The restaurant in front of him was luxuriously decorated, obviously the work of a famous designer. After ordinary people came in, they would probably be attracted by the ornaments along the road; with excellent lighting, it felt like walking in a museum.
But he didn’t expect that in the dark world of the girl, all she could feel was emptiness, coldness and silence, as well as the gloominess it brought.
Luo Zhan lowered his eyes.
