A few minutes later.
“The ceremony has already begun, where has Xiao Ran gone?”
“Don’t worry. The gym door is closed, so she must be inside. There are only the water room and the bathroom on this floor. Since there’s no one in the bathroom, she must be over there.”
“It’s dark and the lights are off… Could she really be in there?”
“I’ll go with you and take a look, then you’ll know.”
“Well, be careful.”
“…”
Xu Xuanqing and her roommate walked hand in hand, cautiously and nervously. In the darkness, they unconsciously made their steps as light as possible.
Until they reached the water room.
The door was not closed and they could easily see inside.
Tonight the moonlight was like water, spilling over the floor of the water room, clearly outlining two figures in the corners.
The tall young man sat at the foot of the wall, leaning against it, with one of his long legs stretched out and the other leg bent at one knee, supported on the ground by the neat trouser line.
The petite girl sat on his outstretched legs, leaning on the bent one.
She was leaning sideways, her hands nervously clutching the young man’s shirt and her eyes closed, as she kissed the young man’s lips in a childish manner.
She kissed him in small bits, sometimes she would even kiss his jaw due to nervousness. But at this time, it would only make the young man’s Adam’s apple rolling more obviously.
This kiss was very cautious and nervous. Tang Ran could only hear her heartbeat in her chest and could not hear any other sounds.
So she didn’t even pay attention to the voices and footsteps outside the water room.
Luo Zhan had been on guard all along, and at this moment, he also caught a glimpse of people from the corner of his eye. He finally raised his hand, which had been hanging down by his side, and supported the girl’s thin white neck. He slowly deepened the kiss, while hugging her and turning her slightly.
When it stopped again, the girl’s appearance had been completely obscured in the shadows.
Luo Zhan loosened the strength of his knuckles and allowed the little girl in front of him to kiss his chin clumsily again.
Tenderness suppressed.
When he raised his eyes again, he looked out the door coldly.
The stalemate lasted for several seconds.
The two figures behind the door fled in panic.
This time, the noise finally caught Tang Ran’s attention. The little girl raised her head in confusion, her voice slightly hoarse: “Luo Luo, what’s wrong?”
“It’s okay.” Luo Zhan looked back, his lips curled up, “But the ceremony has already begun.”
“…Ah!” Tang Ran exclaimed and stood up hurriedly, “I forgot.”
“It’s ok.”
“Ah?”
Luo Zhan stood up with Tang Ran, leaned forward and kissed the girl lightly on the lips, then tilted his head and smiled: “You just made out, shouldn’t you wipe your mouth?”
Tang Ran held her breath.
When Luo Zhan stood up with a smile in his eyes, she asked in a low voice: “Did I behave particularly badly just now?”
Luo Zhan said nothing.
Tang Ran’s voice became even quieter: “I don’t know what to do, but I will try my best next time…”
A low, helpless laugh interrupted her self-reflection, and Tang Ran looked up in confusion.
Luo Zhan raised his hand and rubbed her head: “You don’t know what to do and it’s like this. If you wait until you know, then I will ‘die’ in your hands, right?”
“…”
Tang Ran’s face slowly turned red, her eyes sparkling.
“Let’s go, the ceremony has begun.”
“Um!”
After Tang Ran returned to her seat, she discovered that Xu Xuanqing and the other two were looking at her with strange eyes.
Tang Ran felt guilty for two seconds and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Where did you go?”
“Water room. I’m going to answer the phone.”
“Why are you blushing like this when answering the phone?” Xu Xuanqing’s expression became even more complicated, “Xiao Ran, you are not–“
The voice of the ceremony host suddenly rang out from the temporary podium: “The next speaker is the outstanding student representative of the school, Senior Luo Zhan.”
“!”
In a corner below the stage, Tang Ran, Xu Xuanqing and the other three were all startled at the same time.
Tang Ran raised her head.
In front of the podium, Luo Zhan, with his shirt buttoned to the top, walked onto the stage with no expression on his face.
“Hello,” Luo Zhan straightened the microphone, “I am Luo Zhan.”
Before he could finish his words, they were drowned out by the thunderous applause that erupted in the hall.
In the automation department which was highly related to AI, just like Lan Jingqian to Tan Yunchang, Luo Zhan definitely had a considerable number of same-sex fans.
It could even be said that many students who were interested in AI enrolled in K University because of Luo Zhan and his INT laboratory.
Amid the thunderous applause, the young man standing under the spotlight had the same expression as before.
He was neither impatient nor surprised, just waiting for the applause to pass before speaking according to the script. In the huge gymnasium, the man’s voice echoed calmly and coldly in the air, completely different from the emotional hoarseness that Tang Ran heard in the water room a minute or two ago.
Tang Ran’s face felt hot when she remembered that not long ago she had wrinkled the shirt he was wearing and kissed him against the cold tiles in the water room.
She almost didn’t hear what the usual lazy voice said.
When she came back to her senses, Luo Zhan had already stepped down from the stage, and the applause in the hall was even louder than before.
After Luo Zhan finished his speech, the students’ emotions quickly calmed down. Some of them couldn’t help but discuss excitedly in low voices, while others became restless and searched around for the figure of someone who had left the stage.
The last two speeches ended hastily.
The ceremony of the Automation Department ended, and the leaders and teachers who had given their speeches naturally had to leave first, and Luo Zhan was among them.
The freshmen, who were as noisy as chickens, were kept in their places by orders from their classes. The younger students who wanted to approach and talk to this “excellent senior” could only watch helplessly as the figure followed the teachers out of the hall.
One, two, three…
The leaders and teachers disappeared behind the gymnasium gate, and Luo Zhan didn’t know when he fell behind the team.
After talking to the last teacher who was leaving and the other person went out, Luo Zhan stopped in front of the door of the gymnasium.
After a few seconds, the man turned around and walked back.
There was dead silence in the gymnasium for a few seconds, and then there was an uproar.
The class leaders were barely able to appease the fans of Luo Zhan who were about to rush forward.
The department’s automation major, which had the most intersection with AI, was hit hardest. A rough male voice howled in the commotion:
“Senior, I want to get into INT too! I can! I love you!”
A burst of laughter broke out in the hall.
Then the freshmen spontaneously quieted down and looked expectantly at Luo Zhan who was walking back.
Luo Zhan paused and glanced over: “Who loves me?”
Fanboy: “Me!”
“Do you have any shame?”
“No!”
Luo Zhan sneered: “The purpose of the INT laboratory is not to accept shameless people.”
“……?”
The hall was silent for a few seconds before bursting into laughter again.
Luo Zhan finally walked the short distance of a few dozen steps and walked into the group of freshmen sitting on small stools.
He walked between two rows of students and then stopped.
After all the laughter, the freshmen finally remembered the rumor that “Luo Zhan’s mysterious girlfriend is in the Automation Department” that was circulating on campus that morning.
The eyes of the onlookers suddenly lit up, and they wished they could turn into laser lights and scan Luo Zhan directly.
Standing in the focus of everyone’s attention, Luo Zhan didn’t look at anyone. He just half-lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl who was sitting motionless beside his legs, pretending to be an ostrich, with a half-smile.
He curled the corners of his mouth slightly and squatted down.
“Ran Ran.”
Luo Zhan blew in the girl’s ear.
“——!”
Tang Ran couldn’t suppress this instinctive shudder.
Facing those piercing gazes, the little girl raised her head sadly.
Luo Zhan suppressed his laughter and said, “Let’s go for a midnight snack?”
“No,” the little girl shrank back amidst the comments and gazes, muttering softly, “I’m almost being eaten.”
Luo Zhan continued to hold back his laughter: “I’m here, don’t be afraid.”
“I’m only afraid because you’re here.”
Luo Zhan thought for a moment and said, “If you are afraid of trouble and don’t want to admit it, you can pretend that I am just harassing you.”
Tang Ran was stunned for a moment and looked up.
Luo Zhan took her hand, hooked her fingers and slowly spread them out, then lowered his head and kissed her palm. While kissing her, he still smiled frivolously: “You can also slap me and run away.”
Tang Ran choked.
Luo Zhan slowly kissed her palm, then raised his eyes and smiled: “You know I won’t blame you no matter what you do, Ran Ran.”
Tang Ran was silent for two seconds, then lowered his head obediently: “I was wrong.”
Luo Zhan was slightly stunned.
“It’s not that I don’t want to admit it, it’s just…” Tang Ran paused and frowned in confusion, “I don’t think I’m good enough. I’m afraid they’ll find out that you only like me, and they’ll hate me and be disappointed in you.”
Luo Zhan was silent for a moment, then burst out laughing: “I know who I want better than anyone else, and the answer has nothing to do with anyone except us. I don’t care what others think, and Ran Ran shouldn’t care either.”
Tang Ran hesitated and nodded slightly.
Luo Zhan looked at the girl in front of him and slowly lowered his eyes: “I was planning to give it to you after a while, but it seems I can’t bear it anymore.”
Tang Ran looked up in confusion: “?”
She saw Luo Zhan take out a box from his coat pocket.
Tang Ran was stunned for a moment and subconsciously pulled back the hand that Luo Zhan was holding: “I, I am not yet of legal age to get married.”
Luo Zhan was slightly startled, and he couldn’t help laughing softly: “Why are you more anxious than me, little girl.”
“…”
Realizing that she had misunderstood, Tang Ran’s face turned red instantly.
Luo Zhan opened the box with a smile and took out the specially customized necklace inside.
“But the meaning is almost the same.”
Tang Ran looked at the necklace curiously.
There were two pendants on this chain. One was round and flat, with 390 engraved on the front and the word “Ran” engraved on the back; the other pendant was a little more three-dimensional, like…
“This is coin number 390, and there is also a wishing well for Ran Ran alone.”
Luo Zhan leaned forward, put the necklace on the stunned Tang Ran, and then tied it behind her neck.
He turned back, his eyes gentle.
“The wishing well will never leave Ran Ran again. He will do everything he promised you in the past, present and future.”
After tensing for a few seconds, Tang Ran still couldn’t help it and her eyes turned red.
She reached out and hugged the person in front of her, her voice choked with sobs no longer able to hide: “Luo Luo…”
“Don’t cry, little girl,” Luo Zhan lowered his eyes helplessly and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Tang Ran’s face, “Your wishing well will be distressed. His greatest wish is that his little girl will never cry again.”
“Well, I-I won’t cry.”
Tang Ran nodded while holding back her sobs, then she couldn’t hold back her sobs and hiccups.
Luo Zhan felt distressed and amused.
Tang Ran had a depressed look on her face: “Well, does Luo Luo have any other wishes? Tell me, I will definitely make it come true.”
Luo Zhan thought for a moment and said, “Yes.”
“What is it?”
“We’ll get married after you graduate.” Luo Zhan smiled, lowered his head and kissed the girl’s lips, and jokingly said, “Please sleep with me according to the law at that time.”
