After hearing the answer, Tang Ran paused blankly for a moment, then raised her head and asked, “Do I have to wait until I reach adulthood to open up?”

“Um.”

“Why?”

“Because,” Luo Zhan laughed silently, “it’s not suitable for children.”

“…” The little girl pursed her lips, holding back her dissatisfaction, she lowered her head and muttered softly: “I will be an adult in two years, I am not a child anymore.”

Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and suppressed the smile in his eyes: “Then it will have to wait two years, Master.”

Tang Ran hesitated for a while, but in the end, she had no choice but to nod: “Okay. When the time comes, Luo Luo, remember to tell me.”

Perhaps it was because of his conscience that Tang Ran’s words made Luo Zhan feel guilty. He looked away and was silent for two seconds before responding:

“……Good.”

The little girl’s mind was quick, and she soon shifted her focus from the unsolved puzzle. She looked up at the robot and said, “Luo Luo, are there any more questions in the test?”

“Um.”

“Then keep asking.”

Looking at the girl in front of him, Luo Zhan’s expression softened: “The third question is, where do you most want to go with the person you like?”

“The place I want to go…” Tang Ran repeated softly, “But to me, it seems the same wherever I go.”

Luo Zhan frowned.

Tang Ran did not remain depressed. She quickly raised her voice and curved her eyes slightly: “But if my eyes can be cured in the future, I want to go to Norway to see the Northern Lights.”

“Norway?”

“Um!”

The little girl ignored the robot’s abnormal repetition. She was immersed in her own yearning, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.

“There is a small village called Hamano in Nordland County, Norway. I have seen photos of it before when I was in the orphanage. Their houses are built on the rocks by the lake, supported by high stilts. Opposite them are rugged mountains. At night, the aurora will cover the sky, and the shadows of the mountains will be hidden in the night sky, just like the hometown of the dragon and the princess in Western fairy tales…”

After Tang Ran finished speaking, she slowly came back to her senses, bent her eyes and smiled: “So if I have the chance, I want to go there to see the aurora. It must be beautiful.”

“…”

In the silence, Luo Zhan couldn’t help but raise his hand.

He really wanted to hold the girl in his arms, even if it was just to rub her head and tell her “You will see it soon.”

But when he was just a “robot”, he couldn’t do any of these. So Luo Zhan’s hand, which was about to touch the girl’s head, had to stop, and his slender knuckles restrainedly clenched and retracted slowly.

In the air, that magnetic, mechanical voice responded softly: “All the master’s wishes will come true.”

Tang Ran smiled: “Thank you Luo Luo for your blessing.”

Luo Zhan was silent.

Not a blessing.

He would personally fulfill all her wishes.

Ten o’clock at night.

Tan Yunchang came to the Tang family’s side house to pick up the “robot”, but after entering the door, he found that the little girl, who should have gone back to her room to rest at this time, was lying on the square table in the living room, as if she was worried about something.

Tan Yunchang knocked on the empty door curiously: “Sister Tang?”

The girl behind the square table came to her senses belatedly and sat up straight: “Is the store manager here?”

“Yes, I just arrived,” Tan Yunchang said as he walked in, “It’s already ten o’clock, why haven’t you returned to your room to rest yet?”

“Ah, is it ten o’clock?”

Tan Yunchang: “What are you thinking about so intently that you even forgot the time?”

Tang Ran lowered her voice in embarrassment: “Luo Luo said that his love teaching module has been repaired. I attended his class tonight and it just ended.”

“……?”

Tan Yunchang was shocked, and after a few seconds he managed to find his voice again: “He said he had finished repairing it?”

“Um.”

“And then he…really taught you how to chase Luo Zhan?”

The little girl blushed slightly but nodded frankly.

Tan Yunchang: “…”

Tan Yunchang’s silence made Tang Ran a little uneasy. She asked softly, “Manager, what’s wrong?”

“No, nothing.” Tan Yunchang slowly withdrew his gaze from the mechanical box not far away, “It’s just that from today on, I have a new understanding of how low someone’s bottom line is.”

Tang Ran didn’t hear clearly what Tan Yunchang muttered, and wanted to ask more questions in a daze, but was interrupted by Tan Yunchang.

“Since you’ve been in class all night, what did he…the robot teach you?”

Tang Ran thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t have class the entire night. At the beginning, Luo Luo asked me to complete a voice test questionnaire.”

The girl paused, frowned slightly, and muttered softly, “That questionnaire was very long, and there were a lot of questions.”

Tan Yunchang: “Tsk tsk, so sexy.”

“…Ah?” Tang Ran looked up blankly.

Tan Yunchang immediately changed his tone: “Well, it’s okay. It’s really great. It really is a responsible and good home robot.”

Tang Ran nodded slowly: “Oh.”

“Besides the questionnaire,” Tan Yunchang couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Did he teach you how to pursue… Luo Zhan?”

The little girl’s nose wrinkled when she mentioned this: “Robot Luo Luo said that dating is necessary to warm up a relationship. So if I want to pursue Luo Zhan, I have to create opportunities to be with him.”

Tan Yunchang’s mouth twitched: “How to create?”

Tang Ran agreed very much and turned around with a serious face: “I asked the same question.”

“And what did he say?”

Tang Ran frowned in distress: “Luo Luo said that I should take the initiative to invite the other party out. And it would be best to choose a time when both parties have time, such as the weekend.”

Tan Yunchang understood and decided to help their ancestor make it clear: “Tomorrow seems to be Saturday, right?”

“…”

The girl’s sudden silence made Tan Yunchang feel that things were not simple: “Sister Tang, do you have anything else to do tomorrow?”

“Yes,” Tang Ran nodded, “I have made an appointment with the new driver in my family to go to the suburbs together tomorrow.”

Tan Yunchang: “…”

The unsolved mystery of why the love teaching module was suddenly repaired and why someone’s bottom line suddenly dropped has finally been solved.

“And……”

Tan Yunchang was looking at the mechanical box not far away with “heartache” when he heard the little girl’s voice again.

He turned back: “Huh? And what, Sister Tang?”

Tang Ran hesitated and said, “Luo Zhan should be very busy, right?”

Tan Yunchang: “It’s been good recently. There are no deadlines for projects or paper experiments, so it’s been quite relaxing in the lab.”

Tang Ran: “But he came to pick me up for class this afternoon, and something urgent happened in the lab near the evening, so he left first.”

“…”

Tan Yunchang wiped his face with mixed feelings.

He had something urgent to do after all he was rushing to do the part-time job of a “robot”. How could he not be anxious?

After thinking for a few seconds, Tan Yunchang decided to fight for their ancestor: “Sister Tang, I am familiar with Luo Zhan’s schedule. He has nothing to do tomorrow, why don’t you just ask him to go with you when you go to the suburbs?”

Tang Ran subconsciously wanted to nod but stopped after thinking about it.

After standing there and thinking for a few seconds, the little girl shook her head and said seriously, “That’s not good.”

“Ah? Why not?”

“Because if three people go out together, one of them will definitely feel lonely.”

Tan Yunchang was stunned.

Tang Ran said softly, “It’s better to be alone than to be with others but be isolated by them. I know that feeling is not good at all, so I don’t want the driver uncle or Luo Zhan to feel it.”

“…”

Tan Yunchang was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, his eyes a little touched.

He reached out his hand, wanting to pat the head of this little girl who had suffered a lot of malice and hurt but still maintained empathy and kindness. But considering the jealous king who had already automatically stood up not far behind him, Tan Yunchang gave up.
