Tang Ran waited anxiously in the side hall of the Luo family.
The servant who brought her in served her tea and then closed the door and left, leaving her alone waiting in the side hall. Every minute and every second seemed as long as a year or two.
Tang Ran stood up and paced a few steps, and just when she clenched her fingers and decided to go out and take a look, her sensitive ears caught the faint sound of footsteps.
Tang Ran suddenly stopped and looked up at the door of the side hall.
After she counted to three silently in her heart, the door to the side hall was pushed open, revealing the white fingers holding the door with each one clearly visible.
Following closely, a familiar tall figure walked into the room.
Tang Ran’s breath, which she had been holding, suddenly relaxed when she saw that person. She took a quick breath and her face, which had been held for a long time, turned slightly red: “…Luo Luo!”
From a not far distance, the little girl almost ran towards Luo Zhan.
Luo Zhan was startled.
Not counting the lost memory, from the time he met Tang Ran until now, he had never seen her walk hurriedly because of the girl’s eyes, let alone run over.
When Luo Zhan saw the little girl running, his heart almost stopped beating.
He stepped forward instinctively, grabbed the little girl around the waist, and picked her up.
Luo Zhan had already entered, and Luo Qingtang and Bi Qingyan, who were following behind him, had just entered the door.
Before they could figure out whether the call “Luo Luo” was something they imagined, they stopped in shock.
Inside the door, a petite girl with a red face like an apple stood, and it was unclear whether she was scared or anxious.
At this moment, she was hanging her thin white arms and was being held around the waist by their youngest son, looking dazed and obedient, with her whole body held in the air in front of him.
The little girl’s toes were ten centimeters off the ground.
The four people in the room came to their senses.
Tang Ran turned his head in the air with difficulty and confusion: “Luo Luo?”
Luo Qingtang and Bi Qingyan: “——?”
“……Cough.”
At this point, Luo Zhan realized that he had overreacted. He didn’t look at the expressions of the two frightened elders at the door and just put the little girl back on the ground first.
“Don’t run around.” Luo Zhan paused, frowned slightly, and added seriously, “How long ago did you have the stitches removed from your eye surgery? Aren’t you afraid of falling? What if you get bumped into something again?”
Tang Ran lowered her head after being scolded. After listening for a few seconds, she remembered why she came. So, she raised her head again quickly: “Your injury, I heard that Grandpa Luo beat you, is it true? Was he very harsh? Why did the store manager say you bled a lot…”
The girl’s voice became lower and lower as she spoke, and the corners of her eyes started to turn red.
She looked at Luo Zhan carefully and anxiously – but it was not until this moment that she noticed that Luo Zhan was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and dark brown trousers today.
The young man was covered up from head to toe, with nothing showing except his evil face.
This did not make Tang Ran feel relieved at all.
Instead, her eyes became even redder, and she anxiously raised her hand to touch the corner of Luo Zhan’s sweater, trying to lift it up to see the injuries underneath.
Luo Zhan’s forehead jumped, and he quickly pressed down the little girl’s hand.
Tang Ran’s eyes were red, her delicate and beautiful face was tense, and she looked serious and fierce: “Luo Luo, let go, let me see.”
——If it weren’t for the red eyes, the aura would have been even more perfect.
Luo Zhan rarely saw Tang Ran like this and was stunned for two seconds before he came to his senses.
After realizing what was happening, he held the girl’s hand and pressed it back in a soothing manner: “Didn’t I tell you to stop listening to Tan Yunchang’s nonsense? When has he ever been accurate in what he said? I just played a trick on Tang Shixin, and I wasn’t hurt.”
“…”
The little girl was silent for two seconds, then her eyes turned completely red, and her eyes were filled with a shimmering watery color.
“If you were alright, you wouldn’t have come out wearing this today!”
Luo Zhan sighed and rubbed the little girl’s head: “She looks so good, but it would be better if she was easier to deceive.”
Tang Ran’s tears welled up even more.
Luo Zhan frowned in pain: “Don’t cry, do you hear me? I hate to see little girls crying, it’s ugly.”
Tang Ran tried to hold it in, lowered her head and stubbornly tried to lift the corner of Luo Zhan’s sweater: “How bad is the injury… I want to see.”
Luo Zhan held Tang Ran’s hand again.
He promised—
Now the little girl’s tears were just stored up, but if she really saw the wounds on his body that looked so horrible even when he himself looked in the mirror, she would definitely “burst” in the next second.
It had to be the kind that broke the gate and could not be stopped.
“You can’t watch it.” Thinking of that scene, Luo Zhan frowned.
Tang Ran raised her head with a tense face and red eyes: “Why?”
“…”
Luo Zhan was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly thought of something.
The little girl’s fist was wrapped back in his palm. Luo Zhan held her hand and pressed it to his side, then turned around.
“You can’t watch it now because someone else is here.”
“?”
Tang Ran’s vision was cleared so that she could only see Luo Zhan. At the entrance of the side hall, the couple who were watching the show met her eyes.
The air stagnated for a few seconds.
Tang Ran’s eyes had not returned to normal, and the light in the side hall was not bright enough. She looked for a while and then tilted her head blankly: “Luo Luo, who are they?”
Luo Zhan: “This is my father and my mother.”
“——?!”
Tang Ran was caught off guard and stood there in a daze.
“Don’t be restrained, just shout.”
“What should I shout?” The little girl was so frightened that her soul seemed to have flown away.
Luo Zhan was about to speak but stopped.
But he couldn’t suppress his bad intentions and reminded with a hoarse smile: “Just say, Dad and Mom, okay.”
“Mom and Dad…”
Before they could utter the word “good”, Tang Ran came back to her senses and looked up blankly: “?”
Luo Zhan couldn’t help it any longer and lowered his eyes and laughed.
