In the past twenty years of Luo Zhan’s life, he had heard too many confessions.
Regardless of age, or even gender.
There was a joke in K University:
People who are particularly good-looking are naturally the most popular; if they also have a top-notch brain, they will be the favored ones who attract attention wherever they go; if they also have a prominent family background and indescribable sex appeal… that was Luo Zhan.
So when the INT lab didn’t restrict outsiders in the beginning, confessions happened in Luo Zhan’s life almost more frequently than three meals a day.
Before today, if someone had told Luo Zhan that one day he would stay stunned for a full half minute because of a little girl’s unexpected confession, he would definitely sneer and would not even bother to pay attention to such nonsense.
Until it actually happened.
At this moment——
“Luo Luo?”
“…”
“Luo Luo, why are you silent?”
“…”
“Luo Luo? Don’t scare me. Are you running a bug?”
“——”
Tang Ran stood up anxiously and moved the tables and chairs, causing them to rub against the floor, making a teeth-grinding sound.
Luo Zhan suddenly came back to his senses after hearing this sharp voice.
“…”
Looking at the girl behind the table, he opened his mouth.
After a long time, the speechless Luo Zhan finally couldn’t help but raise his hands to cover his eyes.
He laughed silently, dumbly and awkwardly.
Cold white skin was a very sexy skin color. Usually, it was so white that it seemed frigid, but at this time, it couldn’t hide its emotions——
Even with his hands covering his face, a faint blush had already spread across the young man’s face and neck.
“Luo Luo?”
The girl had stood up from behind the table worriedly.
Luo Zhan didn’t dare to speak.
He knew that his voice must be very hoarse at this moment, because the joyful emotions that made his whole body hot were overflowing from his body.
Eyes, voice, movements, breathing, heartbeat, temperature…all parts of the body and senses had “betrayed” him at this moment.
He couldn’t hide it, he couldn’t suppress it.
The laziest and most frivolous young master of the Luo family, to whom talking nonsense was as easy as drinking water.
He never thought that one day he wouldn’t be able to even make a perfunctory interjection, let alone that there would be a moment in his life when he would be so embarrassed.
“Luo Luo…”
Tang Ran stood up from behind the square table and groped her way to the position of the “robot” in the dark.
She raised her hand nervously and probed in the air, then her fingertips bumped into the robot’s collarbone.
The temperature was almost scorching, completely different from the warm and cool feeling she had felt before.
Tang Ran was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand.
She stayed still for a few seconds, then quickened her pace as best she could and walked towards the bedroom.
Luo Zhan stood there frozen for a long time. After all the overflowing emotions were pushed back into the depths of his body, his rationality returned and he “unsealed” his body.
In the empty living room, the “culprit” little girl had disappeared.
Remembering her last move, Luo Zhan stretched out his stiff long legs and walked towards the girl’s bedroom.
Before he reached the door, Luo Zhan heard Tang Ran, who seemed to be standing next to the bedroom door, talking on the phone anxiously:
“I think it should be running a bug. Luo Luo seems to have crashed. Manager, you guys should come and take a look in advance.”
Tan Yunchang’s voice had a strange tone, and considering Luo Zhan’s familiarity with him, it seemed like he was trying hard to hold back a smile.
“This bionic robot should not be able to freeze. Don’t worry, sister Tang Ran. Just wait until it recovers… No, just wait for it to restart automatically.”
Tang Ran was feeling worried and anxious at the moment and did not notice that Tan Yunchang had made a mistake in his choice of words.
She sounded even more anxious: “But Luo Luo’s body temperature control seems to be out of control. It’s very hot. I’m particularly worried that the chip will burn out.”
Tan Yunchang: “Pfft, has its temperature risen? Of course, you guys are chatting so irritatingly…”
Luo Zhan couldn’t listen anymore.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door in front of him.
Standing by the door, Tang Ran, who was concentrating intently, was startled and instinctively turned around with a pale face.
After a few seconds, she reacted and said in a surprised tone: “Luo Luo? – Are you okay?”
Luo Zhan’s cold white skin was still stained with a faint red.
But those dark eyes had calmed down. He glanced coldly at the phone in Tang Ran’s hand, and after making a serious note to deal with Tan Yunchang in his heart, Luo Zhan spoke.
“An error occurred during operation. The system had been shut down for repair and has now restarted.”
The mechanical voice tried to remain calm.
But the hoarseness after experiencing a barrage of emotion was still hidden in the voice.
Fortunately, the little girl only had a sense of surprise at the moment, and didn’t notice this detail at all: “That’s great, I was scared to death… I thought you were going to break down.”
Tang Ran breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly remembered the call on her phone. She quickly picked it up again: “Manager, Luo Luo has restarted and is back to normal!”
Tan Yunchang was probably about to roll over with laughter. He returned to the phone and tried his best to hold back his laughter until his voice trembled: “That’s good, that’s good.”
Tang Ran said: “But can you come pick him up early tonight and take him back to check him out? I’m still worried that there may be other problems.” In order not to arouse the girl’s suspicion, and also out of his own desire to survive, Tan Yunchang held back his laughter and agreed.
After pushing the mechanical box onto the transport vehicle along the slide on the special device together with Lin Qianhua, Tan Yunchang couldn’t help it and turned back and walked to Tang Ran who was still waiting worriedly outside the side house.
“Sister Tang,” Tan Yunchang smiled so hard on the way here tonight that his face became stiff. Now he finally didn’t have to hold it back and could speak normally, “What on earth did you say to Luo…Luo Luo tonight that caused him to ‘freeze and restart’?”
Tang Ran recalled blankly: “I just did what the store manager said, and asked him to start the love teaching module, and then asked him to teach me how to pursue the boy I like.”
“Then what?”
“Then, he asked who it was…” Tang Ran lowered her head a little embarrassedly, “After I said the name, he seemed to freeze.”
The moment she finished speaking, an inexplicable realization and thought quickly flashed through Tang Ran’s heart.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have time to catch it and was brought back to consciousness by Tan Yunchang’s laughter.
Tang Ran looked up in confusion: “Manager, what are you laughing at?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay…” Tan Yunchang felt like he was about to die of laughter. He waved his hands with difficulty, “I just wanted to ask about the trigger point of the bug so that I can go back and check it.”
“Okay.” Tang Ran nodded worriedly, “If there are any problems, remember to notify me, Manager.”
“Yes, of course. Don’t worry. It’s cold at night. Go back quickly, sister Tang Ran.”
“…”
Then the truck drove away in the night.
When they were some distance away from the Tang family compound, Lin Qianhua skillfully parked the car on the side of the road.
The situation tonight was really “special”, and he couldn’t help it, so he went to the back of the truck with Tan Yunchang to take Luo Zhan out of the mechanical box.
At first, he didn’t see anything. But when Luo Zhan returned to the cockpit of the transport vehicle without saying a word, but with the help of the lights inside the vehicle, Tan Yunchang saw things clearly and burst out laughing.
“Hahahaha, oh my god, ancestor, don’t tell me that it’s been almost an hour since the girl confessed to you and the blush on your face hasn’t faded yet, hahahahaha…”
Luo Zhan leaned back in the car seat with his eyes lazily lowered, his sharp, fair cheekbones still tinged with a pink halo.
Hearing what Tan Yunchang said, he snorted coldly.
“It’s faded.”
Lin Qianhua was more honest, and at this moment he was more shocked. He looked at Luo Zhan in a daze and instinctively retorted: “It’s true that it hasn’t faded, Brother Zhan.”
“Blushing for an hour, do you think I’m a perpetual motion machine?”
Luo Zhan didn’t raise his eyelids. But after a few seconds of silence, he followed his conscience and spoke.
“That was just in the mechanical box… I remembered it again.”
Tan Yunchang, who had just straightened up, fell back laughing again.
Friday afternoon, in a teahouse box of a club in K City.
“Hahaha it’s true! My male god, believe me, these are Luo Zhan’s original words!”
“…”
Lan Jingqian, the founder of AUTO who had been very popular in major financial magazines recently, was sitting opposite Tan Yunchang at this time, listening to him with a faint smile.
In the casual conversation after talking about the cutting-edge situation in the field of automatic control, Tan Yunchang couldn’t help but mention the first “stain” in Luo Zhan’s brilliant life.
Luo Zhan had already reminded people about the grudge between Lan Jingqian and the Tang family, so Tan Yunchang avoided mentioning anything related to Tang Ran and only talked about Luo Zhan’s reaction afterwards.
And Lan Jingqian was indeed quite interested.
He was holding a purple clay cup with a fine sand texture, and after listening, he smiled and turned his eyes to the listless boy diagonally opposite.
“Young Master Luo can also have this side?”
Luo Zhan quirked his eyelids, glanced at Tan Yunchang, and curled his lips coldly: “Tan Yunchang wants to advertise for me all the time.”
“Don’t blame him. I’m curious too.” Lan Jingqian smiled. “How did that girl confess to you to get such a big reaction from you?”
“…”
Luo Zhan didn’t say anything, so Tan Yunchang immediately took over: “This is the magical part – I asked around, and the girl didn’t even say a serious ‘I like you’.”
Lan Jingqian was surprised: “Huh?”
Tan Yunchang laughed mischievously: “At most, he overheard her saying ‘I like someone, his name is Luo Zhan’, and our ancestor immediately surrendered and was defeated.”
Lan Jingqian turned to Luo Zhan: “It seems that you really like that girl?”
Luo Zhan stopped playing with the purple clay cup with his knuckles. His eyes looked a little uncomfortable, and he looked aside.
Lan Jingqian asked: “It’s a good thing if two people are in love with each other. Are you dating?”
“How could that be possible?” Tan Yunchang almost laughed out loud when he mentioned this. “The girl is several years younger than Brother Zhan and she hasn’t even reached adulthood yet!”
Lan Jingqian was stunned for two seconds, then laughed and shook his head.
“Then you better be careful not to get bumped into by the girl’s parents – otherwise I’m afraid they won’t let you go.”
