The answer completely different from what he imagined made Tang Ran stunned in the seat.

In a trance, the voices from the time she had known the person in front of her came in again and recalled them in her mind.

[I'm not Luo Zhan... I'm Luo Xiu.]

[My relationship with my brother is not good. He has bullied me since I was a child, and everyone in the family prefers him.]

[It's really beautiful, then Luo Zhan should marry you.]

[But he only likes beautiful eyes, so he won't like you.]

[Luo Zhan is a bastard, don't pay attention to him.]

[You are the most beautiful, no one can compare to you.]

[Luo Zhan has already left. Next time, I'll take you to greet him.]

[Are you so afraid of him?]

It was the same picture in the dark, only the voice of the man was there.

It was completely different from the ridicule, contempt, and disgust she had experienced from others—he was always in a lazy and indifferent tone, like a young man walking down the noisy long street on the first day of his first encounter, who was always indifferent at all times.

When she was most disturbed and helpless, it was he who pulled her out of the quagmire darkness and whispered to her, "I'm here".

But it was all a lie.

He casually gave her the appearance of a poor boy with a poor background, and she still believed it deeply. After returning home, she often thought about it, and then worried that the rumored unruly young master of the Luo family would bully her friend "Luo Xiu".

… fraud.

Tang Ran lowered his head. The grievance that came up in her heart made her nose a little sore.

She bit her lip and didn't say a word, but quietly and stubbornly pulled back the hand that the man had pressed against her chest.

After all, she is only a blind girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, and her strength is pitifully small.

Moreover, with such slender and fragile arms, Luo Zhan was very sure that he could clasp her two wrists with one hand, which could easily make her unable to move.

But the little girl didn't spare any effort or leeway. She didn't care at all about her delicate skin that could leave a red mark when she pressed it a little bit, and only stubbornly pulled her hand back.

Seeing the girl's white hands slowly turn red, Luo Zhan frowned.

After a stalemate for a second or two, he was still reluctant to let go.

Tang Ran, who withdrew his hand, did not hesitate, and immediately retracted himself to the side that was close to the car door and away from Luo Zhan.

Luo Zhan tutted softly. Suppressing the impatience that came up from the bottom of his heart, he frowned and leaned over to pull the girl's seat belt.

"Why are you hiding so far? Sit up, and I won't abduct you."

"..." The little girl replied without saying a word.

Luo Zhan, who hooked his seat belt, frowned and lowered his eyes.

At a close distance, the little girl's thin body was tightly shrunk in the leather seat, and her whole body avoided and resisted any contact with him.

That little head was also held down very low, and if he hadn't leaned over to pull the seat belt, he would hardly have seen his delicate face hidden under his long soft hair.

Even at this time, from his perspective, he could only see the girl's bitten white lips, a touch of lustrous and bright color from light to dark in front of her teeth, revealing a gorgeous contrast with her skin color.

Luo Zhan felt his temple jump suddenly.

I don't know if I was frightened by the picture in my mind, but the young master, who was always lazy and contemptuous, rarely panicked for a second.

The seat belt buckled twice, and finally successfully inserted into the safety buckle.

Luo Zhan took the steering wheel.

The slender knuckles were slowly pressed, and then slowly loosened after being stiff for a while.

Taking the sunglasses from the car sunglasses case and putting them on, Luo Zhan started the car.

One second before the supercar's excellent engine chirps, Tang Ran, who lowered his head, heard a hallucinatory mute in his ears:

"Don't bite your lip."

"?"

Tang Ran was stunned for two seconds, and slowly released the lower lip that was bitten unconsciously by him.

After exposing his nature, the young master of the Luo family was as eccentric and unruly as the rumors said...

The little girl frowned.

Luo Zhan sent Tang Ran to the downstairs of the apartment.

Because I came back early, there was no one downstairs to pick me up. Luo Zhan stopped the car and looked at the passenger seat beside him.

The little girl was holding the two four-point seat belts on the left and right, and she didn't say a word to him.

"arrive."

Luo Zhan turned sideways, preparing to unfasten the seat belt for the little girl.

Just before he could lift the safety buckle, the girl's hand pressed the red unlocking buckle one step ahead of him, and released the safety belt with a click.

Then Tang Ran raised her beautiful face and said softly without emotion: "Thank you, please give me the blind stick."

Luo Zhan's hand in the air fell back, he frowned, and repeated: "'Please'?"

The little girl didn't speak.

Luo Zhan laughed angrily, the tip of his tongue pressed against his upper jaw, and his dark eyes held down restlessness, "Are you trying to clear up your relationship with me?"

Tang Ran still didn't speak.

"Because I'm Luo Zhan not Luo Xiu, so you discriminate against me?"

Tang Ran was quiet for a few seconds, then said seriously: "You lied to me first, you can't confuse black and white."

"… "

Luo Zhan narrowed his eyes lightly, he supported the girl's seat, leaned forward, and forced the sensitive, retracted girl into the cramped triangular space.

When Tang Ran retreated to the point where there was no way out, and when his back reached the door, Luo Zhan took the initiative to stop.

He snorted softly, "I confuse black and white? You dare to say that you don't discriminate against me - when I was Luo Xiu, you would hide from me like this?"

The little girl was silent in a guilty conscience, and after a few seconds she whispered, "Then you can't lie to me."

Luo Zhan: "If I didn't lie to you, you would have avoided me from that day?"

Tang Ran: "..."

Luo Zhan: "Yes or no, talk."

Tang Ran pursed her lips lightly.

After waiting for a while, she nodded slowly and honestly: "Well."

Luo Zhan: "..."

Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl's quiet brows, the small tip of her nose, and her mouth pursed because of anxiety.

After staring for a few seconds, he rolled his eyes, "Forget it. I'll take you upstairs."

Luo Zhan got out of the car, picked up the blind stick behind the seat, and opened the door on Tang Ran's side again. The little girl touched the door of the car and walked down carefully, then stretched out her hand.

"Just give me the blind stick."

Looking at the white and beautiful hand under his eyelids, Luo Zhan slowly frowned, "It's not Luo Xiu, I don't even have the qualification to send you upstairs?"

Tang Ran hesitated, but still didn't speak.

Luo Zhan stared at her for two seconds, turned his face away, and laughed in anger. He passed the cane into the girl's hand.

Tang Ran groped and held it, and just wanted to take it back, but found that the other end was still held by Luo Zhan and did not let go. She was a little dazed and raised her head slightly.

"Tell that grandma of yours to come and pick you up." The voice in front of her was a little irritable.

Tang Ran: "I can do it myself..."

Luo Zhan: "Or I'll take you up."

The girl stopped for two seconds, let go of her blind stick, and looked down for her cell phone.

Luo Zhan looked down, his dark eyes fluctuating with emotions—

No one has ever called him so suffocated since he was a child.

Still can't catch fire.

Half a minute passed.

Tang Ran finally stopped slowly, "The phone seems to be at home."

The corner of Luo Zhan's mouth twitched coldly, and he tapped the girl's palm with his blind stick, "It's not that I didn't give you a choice."

Tang Ran: "..."

The little girl was silent for a few seconds, and then held it up.

Young Master Luo suddenly felt that the shadows in his heart were swept away. He turned around and happily led the little girl to the apartment building.

This apartment building consists of three households. Tang Ran lives in the middle household on the 12th floor, all facing south.

It's a pity that Young Master Luo couldn't see the door, and Tang Ran issued an "expulsion order" in the elevator—

"Thank you for taking me back." Standing in front of the ladder door, the little girl held the blind cane, her voice and expression as quiet as her expression.

Luo Zhan frowned, "I made a special trip to pick you up and didn't even invite me to drink a glass of water?"

Tang Ran thought for a while, "Do you want to drink water?"

Luo Zhan: "… "

He knew that if he said "yes", the little girl would probably let him wait here and then go back and get him a bottle of mineral water.

This idea suddenly turned Luo Zhan's scourge face blue, and he sneered angrily: "Do I look like a beggar?"

Tang Ran raised his head blankly: "?"

Luo Zhan withdrew from the imaginary picture of the brain tonic, only to find that the little girl standing in front of him was still waiting for his answer.

Luo Zhan frowned, "...Nothing."

Tang Ran nodded, "Then I'm going home? Be careful on the road, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, Tang Ran turned around and left without any reluctance.

Luo Zhan stepped forward without thinking about it, and stopped the little girl by hooking his arm.

Tang Ran's center of gravity was unsteady due to the sudden pull, and she reached out to the side in a panic. Someone in the darkness grabbed her hand for the first time and supported her again.

After Tang Ran regained his footing in shock, he reacted and pulled his hand back from Luo Zhan immediately.

The suddenly empty palm made Luo Zhan's heart feel as if a piece had been cut off.

Luo Zhan couldn't hold back any longer, he frowned: "Luo Zhan is so annoying to you? Did I do something heinous to you?"

"… "

Tang Ran clenched the fingertips that still had familiar temperature.

After a while, she shook her head lightly: "No. I don't hate you."

Luo Zhan: "Then why are you hiding from me?"

Tang Ran lowered his head.

After a long while, Luo Zhan heard the little girl say softly, "Because you will be engaged to Tang Luoqian."

Luo Zhan smiled coldly, "Who said that? When did I agree? In the 21st century, if you want to arrange marriage to interfere with freedom, it will violate the criminal law."

The girl lowered her head, "And my grandma also said that I will have a very powerful brother-in-law in the future. I can't provoke you, and I can't offend you... Otherwise, I won't be able to go back to the Tang family."

"—"

Luo Zhan frowned.

The girl's low tone at the end of her words made him tug at his heart, but there was no reason or cause and effect. The unspeakable irritability slowly climbed up from the bottom of his heart, tying his breath tightly, like a tongue of fire licking a wound.

When his sanity returned to clarity, he leaned over to a position very close to the girl. The little bit of irritability in the eyes slowly grinds, and finally wraps up into a lazy and cold smile in the voice:

"Who's your brother-in-law? Do you touch porcelain?"

"… "

Looking at the girl's pale face, Luo Zhan lowered his eyes. After a pause, he straightened up, and his voice became lazy, "If you don't drink, you won't drink." The young man turned around and walked back with drooping eyelids, "Who cares about your glass of water?"

Luo Zhan walked back to the stairs and stopped.

A second before pressing the elevator button, he heard the sound of the girl behind him slowly tapping the blind stick to leave, he asked without looking back, "You really have nothing else to tell me?"

The voice behind him stopped.

In Luo Zhan's eyes, a little hope and pleasure tore through the deep-pressed restlessness and drilled out—

"In the future," the little girl said softly, earnestly and sincerely, "it's better not to bully Luo Xiu."

Luo Zhan: "… "

Luo Zhan: "?"

When Luo Zhan turned around angrily, the little girl behind him had already walked out of the elevator with a blind stick.

Facing the air, Young Master Luo was so angry in the elevator room alone.

He walked into the elevator with a cold and handsome face.

When he left the apartment building without looking back, the young man looked stern. When the phone rang, the voice he picked up sounded hoarse and manic: "Speak."

The opposite was silent for two seconds, then smiled gently: "Who made you so angry?"

"..." Luo Zhan took off his phone and glanced at it, it was Luo Xiu's number.

Thinking of the "parting speech" he received from an ungrateful little girl, Luo Zhan had the thought of picking someone out of the phone to make an appointment.

His voice was deep again, "I have something to say."

On the other side of the phone, Luo Xiu asked with a smile, "Is it something related to that little girl named Tang Ran?"

Luo Zhan's tone was indifferent, "Anything about her from today has nothing to do with me." While speaking, Luo Zhan walked to the front of the car and took the remote control key to unlock it.

"Oh, it doesn't matter to you that she might be sleeping on the street today, right?"

"—"

Luo Zhan's figure stopped abruptly.

Luo Xiu: "Well, I'll pretend I didn't receive the call from that lady Yang..."

"What's wrong with her?" Luo Zhan frowned, interrupting Luo Xiu's voice.

Luo Xiu smiled gently: "Isn't it about you?"

"… "

Luo Zhan turned around expressionlessly, leaned on the front cover of the car, and said in a lazy and cold voice, "I'm just asking."

Luo Xiu: "Ms. Yang called me through my grandfather, saying that her daughter-in-law had to go home because of her sudden premature birth - let 'me' take care of Tang Ran who was picked up by 'me' first."

Luo Zhan lowered his eyes, "It's not that she can't take care of herself."

"Oh," Luo Xiu thought of something, "it seems that the little girl has neither the phone nor the key. Ms. Yang said she put the key under the carpet, so let 'me' let me know."

"… "

"I'm done with curiosity? It sounds like you shouldn't be with that little girl. It's fine if you don't hear it. I'll be busy with you."

Luo Zhan smiled coldly, "I will."

hang up the phone.

Luo Zhan's handsome face was cold, and he unlocked the car.

The red supercar threw a neat tail line and drove out.

Apartment downstairs.

The two passing by showed envious expressions.

"It's so handsome, if only I had one too."

"Yeah, who wouldn't want to... eh? Why did the car come back??"
