The bathroom in the partial house is located next to the aisle directly opposite Tang Ran's bedroom door. From the semi-frosted glass door of the bathroom, you have to walk down the aisle into the room to get to the big bed and wardrobe.
Tang Ran came out with only a bath towel, obviously going to change clothes in the bedroom.
A wet and defenseless little girl was right in front of her, and you could smell the fragrance in the air as the bathroom door opened without getting close.
In this scenario, Luo Zhan was very unsure whether he could play the role of a "robot" without any flaws.
So he decided to pretend to be air - wait for the opportunity to leave when the little girl entered the bedroom from beside him.
There was nothing wrong with this plan, but Luo Zhan forgot the puppy-like nose of the little girl beside him.
So when Luo Zhan held his breath without squinting, the girl walking past him suddenly stopped without warning.
The tip of the girl's nose moved slightly, as if she sniffed the air, and then she slowly tilted her head and asked uncertainly, "... Luo Luo?"
Luo Zhan: "..."
After a few seconds of silence, the "robot" lowered its eyes resignedly.
The mechanical sound vibrated slightly in the humid air soaked with the bath water, with a certain low-duty magnetic texture—
"I'm here, Master."
Tang Ran, who was sure of her guess, was stunned for a few seconds before she recovered, "Why did you come in?"
Hidden under the half-closed eyelashes, the emotions in the dark eyes fluctuated deeply and shallowly. It was a little difficult to restrain those thoughts that did not listen to rational arrangements, and the mechanical voice tried its best to maintain the smoothness without fluctuations:
"The owner is not there, the induction heat source."
Tang Ran nodded suddenly, she bent her eyes and smiled, and praised without hesitation: "Luo Luo is really amazing."
"… "
Young Master Luo, who was lazy and never serious in his life, discovered for the first time that he was so thin-skinned that he would be ashamed to be praised by a little girl with a single word.
Fortunately, Tang Ran didn't dwell on this topic, but said to him like comforting a real person: "then wait for me for a while, I'll change my clothes and come out soon."
"Yes." Luo Zhan thought of something, the emotion in his eyes settled down, he lowered his eyes and responded, "Master."
"… "
Luo Zhan returned to the living room of the side house, stood at the square table and waited for a few minutes, when Luo Zhan heard a rustling sound coming from the corridor of the bedroom.
He looked up.
After about ten seconds, the girl in the white nightdress emerged from the aisle.
Luo Zhan guessed that this white nightdress was probably bought for her by the woman who was affectionately called grandma by Tang Ran. It had a similar aesthetic to the pink apron from Hello Kitty—
The pure white nightdress has a little puff sleeves, the wide collar, cuffs and the tail of the skirt, with a light-colored lace edge tattooed with roses.
There is no waist design, and the girl's slender waist is completely hidden in the empty nightdress. Looking up, you can see a little bit of a slightly raised arc of the small chest.
But the most eye-catching thing is the girl's gorgeous face that turns red after bathing, and the hooked collarbone exposed in front of the wide lace collar.
Luo Zhan used to listen to the boys in the int team joking in their spare time, always talking about "killing the collarbone" and "playing with the legs", and he repeatedly sneered and ignored it.
I saw it with my own eyes twice today, and only then did I know what a blunt knife sharpening on the apex of my heart is, what a feeling it is that people can't bear to forget it.
Luo Zhan suppressed his desire to cough and looked away.
At this moment, Tang Ran had stopped in front of him.
"Luo Luo, didn't you wait too long?" the little girl asked anxiously.
The mechanical voice was silent for two seconds: "My time belongs to the master, and the master does not need to feel any guilt."
Tang Ran lightly lowered her eyes and smiled: "But it's the saddest when you're waiting alone... I don't like that feeling. So I hope Luo Luo won't be treated that way."
Stuck by some emotion in the girl's words, Luo Zhan was stunned in place.
When he came back to his senses, the little girl who had become familiar with him as a "robot" these days had already bypassed him, walked to the square table and sat down.
Luo Zhan turned around, opened his mouth, and decided to remain as ignorant as a "robot" should be: "What did the master just do."
"Take a shower." The girl replied softly without doubt.
Luo Zhan's eyes swept across the girl's long hair wetly draped behind him, "...Is your hair dry?"
"No," Tang Ran said regretfully, "because I couldn't see anything, grandma was worried that it would be too dangerous for me to use the hair dryer, so I was not allowed to use it."
"I'll help you."
"…?"
Tang Ran's hand wiping her hair stopped, and after a second or two, she raised her head in surprise, "Does Luo Luo still have this function?"
"Yeah." Young Master Luo replied without blushing.
"Then... Okay," the little girl said with a happy smile, "Thank you Luo Luo."
"It is my honor to serve the master."
Luo Zhan walked over and stopped behind Tang Ran. At such a close distance, the girl's body smells like a water lily mixed with some kind of fruity woody fragrance, which is more obvious.
The aroma seemed to have a substance, and it circled around him, and it even stirred him into a trance.
Luo Zhan lowered his eyes slightly and raised his hand hesitantly—
The girl put a long towel on top of her head and let its furry sides hang down, lining her long black hair, like two long drooping ears.
Luo Zhan covered his slender fingers with a towel, and rubbed them slowly and awkwardly.
Feeling the stiffness and unaccustomedness of that hand, Tang Ran, whose hair was ruffled, couldn't help laughing, his eyes were crescent-like, and his voice became much more lively.
"Luo Luo, the developer of your hair-wiping function must have never wiped someone's hair. Are you clearly touching your head?"
It was indeed the first time in his life that Young Master Luo, who was helping someone wipe his hair, was questioned and lowered his eyes a little uncomfortably.
His movements were a little lighter.
"In the future... I will improve, Master."
The little girl in the nightgown was persuaded by Luo Zhan to go back to the bedroom to rest early out of selfishness.
So when Tan Yunchang and Lin Qianhua came to the side house where they had left the door ahead of time, they unexpectedly saw Luo Zhan standing outside.
Tan Yunchang was stunned for a moment, and after he came in, he looked around.
Luo Zhan heard the movement and said in a low voice, "She's already asleep."
Tan Yunchang was stunned: "I fell asleep so early."
Luo Zhan glanced over coldly, "Didn't you say you wanted her to get up early tomorrow morning?"
Feeling a little coolness in these words, Tan Yunchang felt the grievances of not being human, inside and out, and he looked at Luo Zhan sadly: "Isn't it what you said to prepare in advance, why do you blame me now?"
"It's us ahead, not her."
Tan Yunchang looked even more aggrieved: "Your master is human, aren't Qianhua and I human? Brother Zhan, you are too light-"
Before he finished speaking, Luo Zhan, who stepped forward, covered his mouth.
"Shh," the young man who was close at hand had cold brows and lazy eyes, with a shimmer in the depths of his eyes, "don't disturb her."
Tan Yunchang: "..."
ojbk, they are not real people compared to the little girl.
Luo Zhan returned to the truck outside the Tang family compound. Before getting into the car, Tan Yunchang looked at Luo Zhan strangely several times by the lights in the car.
After Luo Zhan got into the car, he habitually leaned into the car, until he noticed Tan Yunchang's gaze, he picked his eyes, "Is something wrong?"
Tan Yunchang said: "I just wanted to ask at the Tang family's side house, why do you look so..."
"Very much." Luo Zhan lowered his eyes with no interest.
Tan Yunchang thought about his words, "Very, restless?"
Luo Zhan: "."
After receiving a cold and lazy glance from someone, Tan Yunchang innocently defended: "If you don't believe me, ask Qianhua."
Lin Qianhua, who was driving, was cued for no reason. After hesitating for a while, he nodded honestly, "Brother Zhan, your eyes are a little red tonight."
Tan Yunchang replied: "What's more than the corner of the eye? I feel that it's all red to the neck, just follow, just follow—" Tan Yunchang got stuck, and after a few seconds he slapped his thigh and smiled wickedly: "It's like watching the 'little movie for the first time'. 'Like, the stamina is huge!"
Luo Zhan: "… "
Luo Zhan snorted coldly and leaned back with his eyes closed.
Tan Yunchang: "Hey, Ancestor, aren't you guilty? Are you really bored waiting in a side house and watching a small movie with your mobile phone? Do you have any good resources to share?"
"..." Luo Zhan endured and said nothing.
"It's fine if you don't share it," Tan Yunchang said in a familiar tone, "but it's easy to have a spring dream after watching it for the first time. You can take it easy, we have to run a long way tomorrow."
Luo Zhan opened his eyes unbearably, and his dark eyes were cold.
He twitched the corners of his mouth coldly, his tone mocking.
"Since I was a child, what kind of beauty have I never seen? In a spring dream, do you think I am you?"
Thinking of this person's degree of pursuit, Tan Yunchang, who felt crushed by dimensionality reduction, turned his head angrily and weakly.
The next morning, Tang Ran woke up very early.
In the early morning, the side house was quieter, and there was not even a sound outside. It was a bit quiet and cold, and the little girl was still lying alone in front of the square table, waiting for the appointments Tan Yunchang and Lin Qianhua to come to pick them up.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Ran heard two voices talking outside the house. One of the voices seems to belong to Tan Yunchang.
The little girl lying in front of the table sat up straight with a swish, like an excited cub who was alert but couldn't hold back her desire to "get out of the hole".
She pressed the button of the latch remote control.
The sound of the conversation, which had just been vague before, became clear as the door opened.
One of the voices complained slightly: "Didn't they all come at night, why did they come here early in the morning?"
Tan Yunchang's voice said: "I'm sorry, security brother, we do have a situation today, and we have to invite this little girl to go to the laboratory together."
Security guard: "Okay, I'll be waiting here, you go in."
Tan Yunchang: "Okay okay, sorry to trouble you."
Security: "Hey wait—"
Tan Yunchang: "What's wrong?"
Security guard: "Who's next to you wearing a baseball cap, doesn't seem to be the one who came before?"
"Damn," Tan Yunchang said with a smile, "there are too many people in our laboratory. The one who came at night didn't dare to let him get up early. In case of fatigue driving, would it be okay?"
"Okay, then you should pick up someone and leave quickly, don't delay for too long."
"no problem."
A few seconds later, Tang Ran heard the door of the side house being pushed open. She stopped in front of the entrance and felt someone approaching.
Tang Ran smiled lightly: "Good morning, store manager."
"… Good morning."
The person who approached stopped for a few seconds, raised his hand, and rubbed her long hair.
The faint scent of cedar wood mixed with the morning dew, and the smell of cold snow water tangled in her long hair.
The voice that was close at hand had a familiar hoarseness, and a lazy and cold smile—
"Little girl."
