The car was quiet for a few seconds.
Then Luo Zhan asked: “Have you heard it?”
Tang Ran thought for a while and shook her head: “The voice was very vague, I only heard one or two sentences.”
“Then you just heard this sentence so clearly?”
“Yes.”
“…” Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and smiled, “I’m really out of luck.”
Tang Ran was silent.
After a while, the little girl turned her head and said softly: “Then let’s go.”
Luo Zhan was startled slightly and looked back: “Didn’t you just ask me a question, aren’t you curious about the answer?”
Tang Ran pursed her lips and didn’t speak at first, but Luo Zhan waited patiently for her answer. So, she could only say: “If Luo Luo doesn’t like this question, can’t we just assume that I haven’t asked it?”
“…”
Luo Zhan was stunned for a long time before he slowly realized the anxiety and careful maintenance behind the girl’s words.
His heart moved slightly.
Following his instinct, Luo Zhan raised his hand and touched the top of the girl’s head.
Tang Ran was stunned by the touch, so she raised her head in confusion and turned to face him: “Luo Luo?”
“Don’t be afraid, little girl.”
Luo Zhan lowered his voice and smiled helplessly: “I just said that I was out of luck. It was not that I didn’t like your question, but I just hoped that what you happened to hear would not have been heard by you. I just felt a little regretful.”
“…”
The corners of the girl’s drooping lips that had flattened in frustration, secretly began to tilt upwards.
After curling her lips into an arc, Tang Ran came back to her senses and was a little embarrassed: “Am I particularly sensitive and easy to think about things? Grandma said that I was, but I always can’t help… You didn’t talk just now, so I thought you didn’t like this question.”
“No.” Luo Zhan categorically denied, “I just got caught for the first time. This is the first time I wanted to be friends with someone, I have no experience and so I don’t know how to answer.”
“Oh.”
An indifferent voice was heard from outside the car.
“…”
Luo Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head, and saw Tan Yunchang standing outside the car sneering: “For the sake of sister Tang Ran, we are not even worthy of being the young master’s friend now, right?”
Luo Zhan rarely had a guilty conscience.
Tan Yunchang’s gaze crossed Luo Zhan and looked towards Tang Ran in the passenger seat: “Sister Tang, if you ask him this kind of question, there is no answer. Let me say it. It is destined to see…”
“Is there anything?” Luo Zhan interrupted in time, glancing at him with cool eyes.
Tan Yunchang was choked by the sight. Although he swallowed his words before he finished speaking, it did not prevent him from daring to keep a sneer: “Just asking when the two good friends are going to leave?”
“……Right now.”
Luo Zhan did not give Tan Yunchang a chance to continue teasing him in front of Tang Ran, he just started the supercar and pressed the accelerator.
Tan Yunchang, who had the courage to uncover the lie, was given a face of exhaust fumes, and he could only grunt back to the car that Lin Qianhua was driving.
Sitting in the back seat was the pale and cold Tang Luoqian, as the black sedan chased the dark blue supercar in front of them and followed.
On the way.
In the sports car that finally restored the “two-person world”, everything was quiet except for the wind passing by.
Luo Zhan held the steering wheel, tapped his index finger on the soft leather holster several times, seeming to be still worried about the problem.
Until they came near the high-speed toll station. Several cars had slowed down and lined up in the aisle. Luo Zhan twisted the front of the car and stopped on the corner of the road. He then unfastened his seat belt and took something from behind his seat.
Tang Ran listened blankly for a while: “Luo Luo, are you looking for something?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that the buckle of her seat belt was opened, and then a soft blanket-like thing was covered on her body.
Tang Ran was stunned, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed it.
Luo Zhan concealed the corners of his mouth, and then bent again to fasten her seat belt: “The autumn wind is cold. You can’t drive too slowly on high speed roads. You should also remember to keep warm in the future.”
“Ok.”
“…”
After Luo Zhan “armed” Tang Ran, he straightened up, and suddenly seeing the little girl’s current appearance, he couldn’t help but chuckle and turn his face sideways.
Tang Ran was stunned by the laugh: “What’s the matter?”
“You are like…”
Luo Zhan looked back and looked at the pink and white blanket he bought and remembered the strange eyes of the salesperson in the shop.
There was also a four-point seat belt sturdily tied on the blanket.
Watching silently for a few seconds, Luo Zhan couldn’t help but laugh. He turned his face away again and laughed.
Tang Ran: “?”
As soon as she wanted to ask again, she heard the slightly hoarse voice in her ear lower because of the smile and say:
“It’s like a floury rice dumpling that’s being covered by a blanket.”
Tang Ran: “…”
There was a picture.
Seeing the little girl’s glutinous white face stained with sweet red color, Luo Zhan laughed for a while then stopped.
Moving between a teenager and a young man, the emotions on that clear face that was initially mature and angular became a little serious.
Then Tang Ran heard Luo Zhan’s voice in the quiet car:
“I just thought about it all the way, but still haven’t found an accurate answer.”
Tang Ran looked back blankly: “What answer?”
“Didn’t you ask me why I treat you well.”
Tang Ran was silent.
Luo Zhan: “I found a good reason for it not long ago, but it has been a long time since knowing you, and I know it is not the original reason.”
“…”
“According to the automatic control theory of artificial intelligence, we want to determine the cause of a problem, so we must first find the input point of the disturbance in the control process corresponding to the problem.”
Tang Ran quietly followed his train of thought, and when she heard this, she asked: “Do you mean the day when we first met in INT?”
“Yes.”
Luo Zhan leaned into the seat. He lowered his eyes and couldn’t help showing his signature lazy smile, even though the little girl couldn’t see it.
“That day was an accident for me. It’s not like I hadn’t seen an embarrassed little girl before, but I have never done anything by myself. In terms of time, place, person, weather environment… If any factor had changed, I might not have met you that day.”
Luo Zhan said this and looked up a little helplessly.
“Although I am sorry, I am such a person, Tang Ran. I am not the kind or gentle person you have imagined. Anything I did for you afterwards can only be realized based on the acquaintance after that accident.”
Tang Ran seriously thought about what Luo Zhan said. After a long time, the little girl laughed slowly.
“That’s great too.”
“Very good?” Luo Zhan was surprised. He thought that the girl would not like his answer.
“Well, good.” Tang Ran nodded and said with a chuckle, “This makes me feel that what the store manager said is right.”
Luo Zhan: “?”
Tang Ran: “That it’s destined. I used to hate this word because everything it brings to me is bad and I don’t want it. But if the first gift it brings me is Luo Luo, then I am very happy.”
Tang Ran thought for a while, then seriously added: “For Luo Luo, I will cherish it in the future.”
Luo Zhan was stunned by the girl’s words for the first time before he recovered.
“Although Tan Yunchang’s focus is not on this word, but…”
Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and smiled dumbly.
He thought of the nightmares that had been going on in his mind throughout the month, the orphanage with narrow windows, the dim confinement room, and the bruised boy in the fragmented mirror.
He slowly understood why he would forget this memory.
Probably a too young and feeble creature, in the face of unbearable suffering and pain, it was the escape method chosen by the body instinctively.
But.
If destiny gave me you as a gift in the name of suffering, Luo Zhan raised his eyes.
Looking at the girl in front of him, he whispered:
“Then I am grateful and will cherish it more.”
Tang Ran didn’t know what Luo Zhan was thinking, she just smiled and bent her eyes.
“Yes, me too.”
According to the original plan, after Tan Yunchang and Lin Qianhua drove Tang Luoqian off the highway, they pretended to miss Luo Zhan’s supercar, and then started their original plan by moving onto the overpass in M City that was as complicated as the 3D maze. It was almost like “Traveling” around the world.
While Tang Luoqian was so anxious that her face turned pale, Luo Zhan was already driving Tang Ran and heading straight to the eye hospital where Jia Junxi was.
Since the specific follow-up time had already been set, the two went up to the floor where Jia Junxi’s private office was located after arriving at the hospital.
Only after the front desk receptionist confirm their appointment information, did they raise new questions, “Sorry, Mr. Luo.”
The young lady was different from the receptionist last time, but what was same was that she avoided and blushed when she looked at Luo Zhan.
“According to my appointment information record, the lady you are accompanying needs to have a blood test again.”
Luo Zhan was already moving to help Tang Ran to walk to Jia Junxi’s office. He looked back and frowned slightly: “Didn’t all the inspection items have been completed last time?”
The receptionist was startled by the cold eyes. After a few seconds, she said quickly, “Sorry, is that right? Because I was not responsible last time so I am not sure about the situation… Then, I’ll call and ask.”
Luo Zhan frowned and waited in place.
Next to him, Tang Ran hesitated, stretched out her hand to pull the corner of his cuff, and said softly, “Luo Luo, don’t be so fierce.”
He had been the Young Master Luo, who was called lazy and cold-hearted by others for twenty years, so he hesitated and lowered his head: “Am I fierce?”
The little girl nodded slowly, then raised her hand, trying to measure a short distance with her delicate thumb and index finger: “A little bit.”
Luo Zhan looked at the two thin white fingers and the other little fingers that were curled up nicely. He couldn’t help lowering his eyes and raising the corners of his mouth.
“Okay,” the young master hid a smile, pretending to be serious, “pay attention next time.”
Tang Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
“But.”
Luo Zhan remembered the words of the receptionist and narrowed his eyes again uncomfortably.
He raised his hand, he unconsciously but possessively touched the little girl’s head in a dangerous tone, “Our little girl is white and tender, who knows what they are thinking about giving you more shots, maybe they want to get something.”
“…”
The little girl was obedient and motionless. Like the ball pressed under the claws of a stone lion.
