Chasing the Light

Chapter 18: Cooperate

Views:

After paying the bill, Su Ran stood at the door of the bookstore waiting for Instructor Han. After waiting for a while, she remembered Instructor Han’s warning... Don’t pay attention to anyone who talks to her.

What's the meaning

Afraid she'd be recognized

Everyone wore sunglasses and hats today, trying not to attract attention. However, when he said that, Su Ran subconsciously looked around.

Uh... It seems like someone is staring at her.

Were you recognized

Su Ran adjusted her sunglasses and looked at the man who was staring at her through the dark brown lenses. The man had a dark skin and was wearing a floral shirt, ripped jeans, dyed yellow hair, a big gold chain around his neck, and a green dragon tattooed on his arm. He smoked a cigarette and looked at her from time to time.

Is he a hooligan

Su Ran pretended to look at her phone and stayed away from that person.

Unexpectedly, that person followed.

"Miss, do you want a ride?"

Su Ran said vigilantly: "No need, my boyfriend will be here soon."

At this moment, a man rushed out from the side, snatched Su Ran's mobile phone, and ran away. He was a cripple and limped away.

Su Ran chased after him without thinking. Artists are most afraid of losing their cell phones. Although there is nothing shameful in her cell phone, it contains many contact numbers. If the phone numbers are leaked, it will cause trouble for others.

The tattooed man also caught up.

"Don't run, give me back my phone." Su Ran was wearing flat shoes. Seeing that the lame man couldn't run fast, she felt that she could catch up with him, but she was always just a little bit short.

"Robbery..." Su Ran shouted, hoping that some kind-hearted person could help her stop the lame man. However, the passers-by just moved aside and had no intention of standing up for justice.

Su Ran was sad and angry that the local customs were so unsophisticated.

In a moment, Su Ran had chased more than fifty meters away.

At this moment, the tattooed man behind her suddenly hugged Su Ran and covered her mouth with one hand, and a van parked on the side of the road had opened its door.

Su Ran shuddered and thought: It's bad.

She immediately realized that the phone robbery was a trap and their target was not the phone but the person.

She immediately broke out in a cold sweat and began to struggle hard, but the tattooed man was very strong and her struggle was of no avail. She was about to be stuffed into the van.

All I heard was an angry shout: "Let her go."

Instructor Han arrived in time, grabbed the tattooed man's hand that was covering Su Ran, twisted it and hit him with an elbow. The tattooed man let go of Su Ran in pain, and Su Ran quickly stepped aside.

The van drove away in a flash, without even having time to close the door.

The tattooed man was pinned to the ground by Han Dong: "You dare to catch my girlfriend's attention, you are looking for death."

Su Ran had already lost two of her three souls out of fright, and when she heard this, the remaining soul disappeared without a trace.

He said she was his girlfriend

“Ouch… It hurts, big brother, please spare me, I was just joking with your girlfriend.” The tattooed man screamed and begged for mercy.

"Is this a joke? Don't let me see you again. I'll beat you every time I see you. Get out of here." Han Dong let go of his hand and kicked the tattooed man on the butt.

The tattooed man ran away, tumbling.

"Are you okay?" Han Dong picked up Su Ran's dropped baseball cap and put it on her. Seeing her dazed look, he thought that she must have been very scared just now.

"I... I'm fine." Su Ran reacted slowly, suddenly remembering that her phone was snatched away by the cripple.

"My cell phone."

Han Dong took Su Ran's hand and said, "You can't lose it."

Yang Fan has already gone after the cripple.

"And my books." Su Ran remembered that the books she bought were still placed in front of the bookstore.

"where?"

"bookstore."

Han Dong took Su Ran's hand and walked towards the bookstore.

Su Ran's mind went blank and she was completely dazed until Han Dong helped her get the book back and took her into an SUV. Only then did she come to her senses.

Yang Fan handed over a mobile phone.

Su Ran took it, unlocked it with her fingerprint, opened it, and confirmed that it was her phone. Her heart finally settled back into her chest.

"Don't take what I said just now to heart. I'm carrying out an important mission and I hope you can cooperate with me. Just treat it as a date." Han Dong said.

Important mission? Date? Su Ran was stunned.

He and Yang Fan were both wearing plain clothes today. They must be carrying out a secret mission and couldn't let the enemy find them! Just like plainclothes police investigating a case.

I'm really curious about what mission he's on. But Su Ran remembered the rules of the army. She didn't tell secrets that shouldn't be told, didn't listen to secrets that shouldn't be heard, and didn't look at secrets that shouldn't be seen. No matter how curious she was, she had to hold it in.

"Well, I will cooperate with you." Su Ran said seriously.

What to do? She was actually a little excited, feeling very excited, does this count as fighting alongside him? And they were pretending to be a couple...

Su Ran had completely forgotten about the robbery and near-kidnapping incident that had occurred before.

"Let's find a place to eat first. What do you want to eat?" Han Dong asked.

"You arrange it." Su Ran said obediently, blinking her big eyes at him.

Han Dong straightened his back unnaturally and avoided her gaze.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he actually felt that her gaze was somewhat affectionate.

Or maybe she got into the role too quickly.

"Yang Fan, go to Broadway."

"Yes." Yang Fan started the car.

When getting off the car, Han Dong walked in front, Su Ran quickly followed and took his arm. Han Dong's body couldn't help but freeze, Su Ran raised her eyebrows at him, her eyes full of playful smiles.

This is what a couple should look like on a date! Besides, wasn't it very natural when he held her hand before

Han Dong was absent-minded for a moment. Her eyes were so bright and when she smiled, it seemed as if the midday sun was eclipsed.

Yang Fan looked back at the captain and Su Ran who were arm in arm, and lamented in his heart: I haven't even had lunch yet, and I'm already being fed a mouthful of dog food.

The captain still dared to say that there was nothing wrong between him and Su Ran. No one would believe him. The excuse of dating was so smooth.

This small county town has a small population and not many tourists, but Broadway’s business is very good and you have to wait in line for a number.

However, Yang Fan went to say hello to the boss, and the boss led them into a private room, which was small but quiet.

"Captain Han, what would you like to eat?" The boss personally brought three cups of tea and asked with a smile.

Han Dong looks at Su Ran.

Su Ran glanced at the menu: "Let's have some rice noodles with mutton in bone broth."

"okay."

"Another serving of beef bone soup, a serving of spicy and sour rice noodles, and a serving of roasted pork trotter," Han Dong continued.

"I'll be there soon." The boss went out with a smile.

"I'll go get some melon seeds." Yang Fan made an excuse and slipped away. He didn't want to be a light bulb here.

Only Han Dong and Su Ran were left in the private room.

Su Ran wanted to laugh when she saw him sitting upright, looking as if he was facing a great enemy, as if she was some kind of monster that would swallow him up. This was not like the way a boyfriend and girlfriend should get along.

"Do you know the boss here?" Su Ran tried to find a topic to talk about, otherwise the atmosphere would be too awkward if neither of them spoke.

"Yes, I know him." His answer was simple and concise.

"You... called me so many times before, just to get me to cooperate with your mission?" Su Ran asked with a smile.

“I guess so!”

"Why me? Is it because I'm a good actor?" Su Ran asked half-jokingly, expecting his answer. Why her instead of Ye Dansha

"Go back and tell me."

Su Ran was depressed: "Do you like to recite the Three Character Classic when you speak?"

Han Dong was stunned for a moment and said awkwardly: "I'm used to it."

It’s the Three Character Classic again.
