Don’t Cry

Chapter 17

Views:

The laboratory was dead silent.

Tan Yunchang, who had been expected before the door opened, reacted the fastest at this time.

He stepped forward, as if flashing to the middle-aged teacher's side, and then shielded his face full of flattering smiles under the teacher's eyelids—

"Oh, Mr. Liu, who did you hear, Brother Zhan didn't come to the lab today!"

While Tan Yunchang was talking, the two brothers seemed to hold the teacher's arm and turned him around, "What do you want to ask? Is it about the robot competition? It's okay, it's okay, there are other people in our laboratory who know about this matter, no need for Brother Zhan. Come and tell you."

The teacher was dazedly dragged out a few steps before he could react, twisting his neck to look back, "Hey? But I think Luo Zhan is already there—"

"Nothing, you read it wrong!" Tan Yunchang hurriedly stopped his voice and winked at the boy standing by the door, "It's a coincidence that he is in charge of the robot competition project, teacher, just ask him!"

"... Ah, yes, I'm in charge." The boy at the door reacted, and cooperated with Tan Yunchang to pull the teacher out of the laboratory.

Less than half a minute before and after.

Looking at the door that was closed again in front of him, Tan Yunchang felt as if a layer of skin had been ripped off. He let out a long sigh, reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and turned his head cautiously.

The int members in the lab are as quiet as chickens.

In the center where their eyes converged, the girl who had just whispered the word "Luo Zhan" was still standing there motionless.

The white, clean and beautiful face that was showing some gorgeousness at the beginning was peaceful and quiet, and the eyelashes were like a small fan under the eyelids, depicting a faint shadow.

From the beginning to the end of Tan Yunchang's farce, she just stood with her eyes closed like the most silent audience member, without speaking or moving.

-If it wasn't for the reverberation of "Luo Zhan" still lingering in his ears, Tan Yunchang would have felt that the little girl didn't hear the male teacher at all.

Unable to understand the situation for a while, Tan Yunchang had to look behind the girl for help.

However, seeing that Luo Zhan, who was clearly the party involved, seemed calmer than anyone else at this moment, there was not much emotion on the face of the scourge of Leng Bai Qingjun, and he only looked at Tang Ran's back with his dark eyes.

Both of them were playing silence with themselves—Tan Yunchang was going crazy.

In this silence, Tang Ran finally moved.

It's not that she didn't respond, but there were too many pictures and voices pouring into her mind at this moment, which made her unable to return to her senses for a while.

Tang Ran slowly clenched the blind stick in his hand and asked softly, "Did that person just come to find you?"

No need to point it out, everyone in the lab who heard this sentence also knew who this question was asked.

Luo Zhan's eyes moved slightly.

Before he could speak, Tan Yunchang stepped forward with an embarrassed smile and said, "How can you? Sister Tang, you misunderstood. What... Luo Zhan sometimes comes to our laboratory, and the teacher came to him."

The girl was silent for a few seconds, "Yeah." She replied lightly, her emotions were light, and she couldn't tell whether she believed it or not.

"And this matter, Luo Xiu also knows about it—isn't it, Luo Xiu?" Tan Yunchang tried his best to wink at Luo Zhan while trying to make up for it, implying that he would strike while the iron was hot and explain a few more words.

Luo Zhan didn't seem to hear it.

He did not cooperate, neither speaking nor moving. The boy just stood beside him with a lazy expression as usual, without saying a word, looking down at the girl.

Emotions in those dark eyes were deep and shallow, and they fluctuated.

Tan Yunchang's head grew big.

Luo Zhan's silence turned his explanation into obscurity. Even a fool would have found something tricky.

Tan Yunchang waited desperately to be exposed by the little girl, and by the way thought about what would happen if the girl cried out in anger or made a fuss.

However, before Tan Yunchang came up with the first set of countermeasures in his head, he heard Tang Ran speak.

The sound is quiet and peaceful.

"There are many motors inside this robot, will the battery life be affected?"

Tan Yunchang: "...?"

Failing to keep up with the speed of the topic change, Tan Yunchang was dumbfounded for a while, and then came back to his senses with a low cough from Luo Zhan, "Continue, continue? This part was not studied by me - Lin Qianhua, come and introduce Tang Ran's sister about the battery life. ."

"Ah, okay, here we go."

Someone in the quiet corner of the laboratory responded and ran quickly to explain it to Tang Ran.

Taking advantage of this time, Tan Yunchang quickly pulled Luo Zhan aside: "What's the situation? Did she believe it?"

Luo Zhan lowered his eyes lazily and sat down on the long table in the laboratory. Folding his long legs, he raised his eyes to look in the direction of the girl, still not speaking.

Tan Yunchang was anxious and suppressed his voice: "Hey, ancestor, what's going on with you today? We're taking care of you, why are you suddenly not cooperating at all - it's almost killing me!"

"I cooperate, it will only reveal the stuff faster." Luo Zhan finally responded.

Tan Yunchang: "Then you said that Sister Tang believed my nonsense?"

"...How do I know." Luo Zhan replied lazily, "I can't read minds."

Tan Yunchang: "Don't be modest, how can you not know it, ancestor? Even if you didn't know it before, you can develop on-site - try reading it?"

"… "

Luo Zhan ignored him.

Tan Yunchang pulled his hair in annoyance: "Okay, since you don't care, then your exposure will be exposed... But what if Sister Tang is angry with our laboratory and never goes to the int store again?"

"Why don't you go."

"What else can I do?" Tan Yunchang sighed: "I'm afraid Xuedi Meng will have to break up with me when I look back."

"… "

Luo Zhan's eyes flickered with emotion.

A few seconds later, the teenager stood up straight with one hand on the edge of the table, and looked back coolly, "Does this have anything to do with him?"

Tan Yunchang was taken aback, "You don't know that Meng Xueyu likes Sister Tang? It shouldn't be, how can anyone in our laboratory not know?"

Luo Zhan's eyes moved slightly, and then he sneered coldly, "Did he confess, or did he succeed?"

Tan Yunchang: "That's not true, he never dared."

Luo Zhan hooked the corner of his mouth, his eyes were cold: "It's none of his business whether Tang Ran goes to the store or not."

Tan Yunchang was dumbfounded.

After thinking for a moment, Tan Yunchang finally came up with something unusual.

He turned his head to look at Luo Zhan, his expression became a little nervous, "No, ancestor, what did you mean by that?"

Luo Zhanzhi raised his eyes to look at him.

Tan Yunchang was so nervous that he stuttered, "How can I think about this and this? Why is it wrong? You are not really interested in our sister Tang, are you?"

"… "

Luo Zhan was silent for two seconds, the corners of his mouth twitched indifferently, and he sneered in a low voice, "Her 16th birthday hasn't passed, I seem to be interested in her?"

Tan Yunchang nodded with difficulty: "Like."

Luo Zhan smiled coldly: "Am I perverted?"

Tan Yunchang: "..."

Tan Yunchang was relieved and smiled awkwardly: "That's because I think too much, but it doesn't need to be so cruel, after all, we Xiaomeng like Sister Tang."

Luo Zhan sneered, leaning back to the table, "Let him dream."

Tan Yunchang's newly restored smile froze again, and this time he was silent for a long time: "You know that your reaction is generally only reflected in two types of identities."

Luo Zhan glanced at him coldly: "?"

Tan Yunchang: "Dad or boyfriend."

Luo Zhan: "… "

Before Luo Zhan could speak, a figure in the laboratory walked to the corner and stopped in front of the two. It was Lin Qianhua who was responsible for introducing Tang Ran to the battery life of the robot.

He hesitated and said, "Brother Zhan, Senior Tan."

Tan Yunchang asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Qianhua said, "The little girl said she's almost done watching, and she's going back."

Tan Yunchang was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his watch: "It's only what time, why are you leaving now?"

As he spoke, his eyes skipped over Lin Qianhua and fell to the back. He saw the girl standing in front of the glass cabinet with her head lowered slightly, her long soft hair covering most of her face, and her emotions were not clearly discernible.

Tan Yunchang sighed lightly, "As expected, I still found out..."

Before he finished speaking, the boy beside him who was sitting lazily at the table had straightened up.

Picking up the jacket with one hand and hooking it into the crook of his arm, Luo Zhan walked to the door of the laboratory, "I'll take her back."

"Why don't you just let someone else deliver it. On the way, she asks you what to do if you reveal your stuff again?" Tan Yunchang pressed his voice worriedly and chased after him.

Luo Zhan narrowed his eyes lightly and said nothing.

It was too late to say, the laboratory was a few steps away from here to there, and the two quickly walked to Tang Ran's side.

Luo Zhan stopped, "I'll take you home." With that, he lowered his body to collect the blind stick in the girl's hand.

A second before the boy's slender knuckles touched the blind stick, the girl with her eyes closed seemed to notice, and the hand holding the blind stick subconsciously ducked to the other side.

The blind stick wiped Luo Zhan's fingers and moved to the side.

Luo Zhan's figure stopped, and after a few seconds he raised his eyes.

The little girl lowered her head slightly. There was a very light swirl in the middle of the long hair hanging down, which made people want to raise their hands and touch them.

Luo Zhan lowered his eyes.

Tang Ran clenched the blind stick tightly in his hand, his fingertips turned white, and said softly, "I already remember the way. You don't need to help me when I go out. I'll go by myself."

The voice sounded normal, but I couldn't tell what was going on.

At least Tan Yunchang didn't tell the difference. He was afraid of Luo Zhan's embarrassment, so he laughed out of the siege, "That's true. Our sister Tang's ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments is first-class, so I shouldn't have asked if I left—"

Before he finished speaking, Tan Yunchang watched Luo Zhan frown, raised his hand and held the girl's blind cane without refusing to refuse:

"give me."

Tan Yunchang: "...?"

"I can do it myself." For the first time, Tang Ran insisted on holding the blind stick and didn't let go. After speaking, the girl's lips pursed nervously, and a little paleness appeared in the lustrous rosy color.

Tan Yunchang turned his head in embarrassment, and lowered his voice to persuade Luo Zhan, "Ancestor, what do you care about with the little girl? If she wants to go by herself, let her—"

"Tang Ran."

Luo Zhan said coldly.

Tan Yunchang heard the rare violent ups and downs in Luo Zhan's voice, his neck shrank, and he swallowed the rest of the words, daring to speak.

It was the first time that Tang Ran heard a voice that was always lazy and not serious talking to her so fiercely.

The little girl was timid, and as soon as the man's gloomy voice that could scare away half of the lab members fell, her fingertips shook slightly, and she finally slowly released her hand.

Only the lips were bitten whiter.

Luo Zhan glanced over, and his eyes froze slightly. He regained his senses, put away the blind stick, then leaned over and pulled the girl's thin white hand to put it on his forearm.

Through the thin shirt, he could feel the coolness of her fingertips, not sure if he was scared or angry.

Luo Zhan had to slowly suppress the restlessness that had risen in his heart.

After a few seconds of silence, he sighed silently.

Following the thought that had just popped up in his heart - Luo Zhan raised his other hand and touched the girl's hair.

"Sorry, my fault. Shouldn't have killed you."

As soon as these words came out, all the int members who were still pretending to be absent in the laboratory stopped their movements at the same time, and after a second or two, each turned their heads with wide-eyed eyes.

Tan Yunchang, who was closest to the two, was the first to bear the brunt, dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

- The words "Luo Zhan" and "Fu Ruan", they never thought they could put them together in their lifetime.

As for the parties involved, Luo Zhan didn't care at all how much soul impact he had brought to the team members. Seeing that the little girl's hand finally grabbed the cuff of his shirt hesitantly, Luo Zhan's eyes loosened.

"Let's go."

"… "

Feeling a lot of eyes falling on him, Tang Ran was quiet for a few seconds, but still responded lightly.

Two figures, one tall and one short, disappeared outside the door.

After a long while, Tan Yunchang, who was standing there dumbfounded, finally regained his senses with difficulty, and murmured:

"It's all fucking like this, and I dare to say that I'm not a pervert."

When Luo Zhan came here, he deliberately stuck to the time for class, and there were not many people on the campus of K University. But the early departure proposed by Tang Ran temporarily changed the plan—

When the two came out of the laboratory building, they were catching up with the group of students who had finished the first major get out of class in the school.

The red convertible supercar parked in the temporary parking area is extremely eye-catching and rare on the university campus. Coupled with Luo Zhan's scourge face that everyone knows in K, the rate of return is basically 100%.

Not to mention, this K-major, who is famous for being "not cold to all female creatures", even led an invisible blind girl along the way.

Just before they arrived at the car, the campus forum and post bar of K University were already swiped with photos and discussion posts of the two of them.

Luo Zhan looked at the news notification from the laboratory, put away the phone carelessly, and lowered his eyes.

It is probably rare to experience such a crowd of people. The little girl beside him was very quiet and nervous along the way. The thin white hands started to tug at his cuffs, and by this time, they had developed into tightly grasping him. wrist. It's like taking him as the life-saving straw.

On that beautiful little face, the uneasiness was almost written in the expression.

In the face of such a pitiful little girl, Luo Zhan found that in addition to sympathy, there was another hidden emotion deep in his heart.

This development may really become a metamorphosis.

Luo Zhan frowned.

"Are you there?" Tang Ran asked softly after waiting for a while without seeing any movement.

"... um." Luo Zhan returned to his senses, took out the car key and unlocked it, and flicked his hand on the sharp streamlined door on the passenger side. The door sensed and automatically opened.

Luo Zhan helped the little girl into the car and got into the driver's seat himself.

Before the car key was inserted into the keyhole, Luo Zhan heard the quiet little girl beside him suddenly ask.

"Are you... Luo Xiu or Luo Zhan?"

Luo Zhan stopped.

After a while, he snorted softly. The key inserted into the hole was released by him, Luo Zhan leaned into the seat, turned his head, and stared at the little girl who was sitting quietly.

"Why didn't you ask in the lab just now, and only remember now?"

Tang Ran's hand on her knee unconsciously clenched the corner of her skirt. She lowered her head without explaining.

Then she heard that lazy and pleasant voice sounded again, this time the voice line was extremely low, and the distance seemed to be closer than just before—

"Are you afraid that exposing it in front of so many people will make me unable to step down from the stage?"

Tang Ran's figure was slightly stiff.

… was guessed.

After nearly half a minute of silence in the car.

The voice laughed coldly and lazily: "But now they are all gone, you can't even find someone who can verify my statement, how can you confirm it?"

Hearing this sentence, Tang Ran finally spoke up.

"It can be confirmed." She raised her head, discerning the direction the voice was facing Luo Zhan. The girl's eyelashes dangling under her eyelids trembled uncomfortably, "You repeat that you are Luo Xiu, I can tell the difference."

Luo Zhan: "Distinguish what?"

Tang Ran's voice softened: "Distinguish... Are you lying?"

Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and smiled, "How to tell the difference, listening to the heartbeat or testing the pulse?"

"… "

The little girl expressed her protest in silence.

Luo Zhan narrowed his eyes lightly, "Okay. Then try it—see if I'm lying."

"Um."

Tang Ran turned around, his face was slightly tense, and his attitude was serious.

Luo Zhan was angry and funny, he lowered his hand and pulled the girl's thin white hand up, straight to the front of his chest, just above his heart.

Tang Ran was startled.

Through the thin shirt, she could clearly feel the unfamiliar body temperature and the texture lines of the muscles.

As if being scalded, Tang Ran pulled his hand back subconsciously, but was firmly held down by the man.

Luo Zhan lowered his eyes, his voice was casual: "This way you can hear it more clearly, little detective?"

"No, no—"

"I'll only say it once."

"..." Tang Ran froze, but slowly stopped struggling. She closed her eyes, nervously discerning every sound in the air.

"I'm… "

Luo Zhan's eyes traced the outline of the girl's quiet and serene facial features, and then was entangled by the thin strands of hair. During the slow down time, Luo Zhan heard his heartbeat break away from the noise in his ears and became clear and powerful.

All senses and perceptions, finally all converge on the hand in front of the heart.

Luo Zhan's Adam's apple rolled down gently.

After a while, in the darkness that the girl could not see, he lowered his eyes and showed a defeated and embarrassed smile.

"... I'm Luo Zhan."
