The car was quiet for a few seconds.
Luo Zhan asked, "Did you hear that?"
Tang Ran thought for a while, then shook his head: "The voice is very vague, I only heard a sentence or two."
"And then hear it so clearly?"
"Um."
"..." Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and smiled, "I'm really unlucky."
Tang Ran was silent.
After a while, the little girl turned around and said softly, "Then let's go."
Luo Zhan was slightly startled, and looked back: "Didn't you just ask me a question, not curious about the answer?"
Tang Ran pursed her lips and didn't speak at first, but Luo Zhan kept waiting patiently for her answer, she could only say: "If Luo Luo doesn't like this question, can we pretend that I didn't ask it?"
"… "
Luo Zhan was stunned for a long time before slowly realizing the unease and careful maintenance behind the girl's words.
His heart moved slightly.
Following his instinct, Luo Zhan raised his hand and touched the top of the girl's head.
Tang Ran was stunned for a moment, raised his head in confusion and turned to face him: "Luo Luo?"
"Don't be afraid, little girl."
Luo Zhan lowered his voice and smiled helplessly and distressedly: "I just said that I was unlucky, not because I didn't like your problem, but because I hoped that the words you happened to hear were not heard, and I felt a little regretful."
"… "
The corners of the little girl's drooping lips pursed a little bit in frustration, and then secretly began to curl up again.
After turning into a radian, Tang Ran recovered and felt a little embarrassed: "Am I particularly sensitive and easy to think too much? Grandma said it's not good for me, but I can't help it... You didn't speak just now, I thought you were I don't like the question."
"No." Luo Zhan categorically denied, "It's just the first time I'm happy-cough, the first time I want to be friends with someone all the time. I have no experience and don't know how to answer."
"Oh."
A nonchalant voice echoed outside the car.
"… "
Luo Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he turned around, he saw Tan Yunchang standing outside the car and sneering: "For the sake of sister Tang Ran, we are not even worthy of being a friend of the young master, right?"
Luo Zhan rarely felt guilty.
Tan Yunchang's line of sight crossed Luo Zhan and looked at Tang Ran in the passenger seat: "Sister Tang, you have no answer to this kind of question. If you want me to say it, it is destined to see the color-"
"Is something wrong?" Luo Zhan interrupted in time, and glanced at him coldly.
Tan Yunchang was choked at the sight. Although he swallowed what he had not finished, it did not prevent him from daring to keep sneering: "Just ask two good friends when are they going to leave?"
"… Now."
Luo Zhan didn't give Tan Yunchang a chance to continue teasing himself in front of Tang Ran. He started the super run and stepped on the accelerator.
Tan Yunchang, who had the courage to expose his shortcomings, was slapped with exhaust gas, and he could only go back into the car that Lin Qianhua drove in angrily.
Carrying the back seat, Tang Luoqian, whose face was pale and cold, followed by the black car chasing the dark blue supercar in front.
on the way.
In the sports car that finally restored the "two-person world", everything was quiet except for the wind passing by.
Luo Zhan held the steering wheel and tapped his index finger on the soft leather holster several times, as if he was swaying about something.
Until the supercar drove close to the high-speed toll station.
Several cars slowed down and lined up in the etc passage. Luo Zhan twisted the front of the car and parked on the side of the road. He unbuckled his seat belt and took something from behind the seat.
Tang Ran listened blankly for a while: "Luo Luo, are you looking for something?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the buckle of the seat belt open, and then a soft blanket-like thing was covered over herself.
Tang Ran was stunned, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed it.
Luo Zhan covered her corners, bent over and fastened her seat belt again: "The autumn wind is cold, and there is no way to drive too slowly on the highway. You must also remember to keep warm in the future."
"Um."
"… "
After Luo Zhan "armed" Tang Ran, he straightened up and suddenly saw the little girl's current appearance, he couldn't help but chuckled and turned his face.
Tang Ran was stunned by laughter: "What's wrong?"
"You're like..."
Luo Zhan looked back and looked at this pink and white blanket that he bought with his own hands under the strange gaze of the salesperson at the bedding store.
There are also four-point safety belts strapped firmly over the blankets.
Watching silently for a few seconds, Luo Zhan couldn't help laughing. He turned his face away again and smiled.
Tang Ran: "?"
Just as she was about to ask again, she heard the slightly hoarse voice beside her ears lowered and said:
"It's like a glutinous glutinous rice dumpling that was bundled up by Fang Fangzheng."
Tang Ran: "..."
There is a picture.
Seeing the little girl's glutinous white face turning a little red, Luo Zhan smiled for a while and stopped.
Between a teenager and a young man, on the face of Qing Jun, who was beginning to mature and angular, his emotions became a little more serious.
Then Tang Ran heard Luo Zhan's voice in the quiet car:
"I just thought about it all the way, but I still haven't found an accurate answer."
Tang Ran turned back blankly: "What answer?"
"You didn't ask me why I was nice to you."
Tang Ran was silent.
Luo Zhan: "Not long ago, I found a reason that should be good for you, but it's been a long time after knowing you, and I know it's not the original reason."
"… "
"According to the automatic control theory part of artificial intelligence, if we want to judge the cause of a problem, then we must first find the input point of the interference corresponding to the problem in this control process."
Tang Ran followed his train of thought quietly, and when she heard this, she asked, "Did you mean the first time you met int?"
"Um."
Luo Zhan leaned into his seat. He lowered his eyes and couldn't help showing his trademark lazy smile, even though the little girl couldn't see it.
"That day was an accident for me. It's not that I haven't seen a little girl in a mess before, but I've never done anything myself - time, place, people, weather conditions... If any one of the factors changed, I might have I won't go back to you."
Luo Zhan paused and looked up helplessly.
"I'm sorry, but I'm such a person, Tang Ran. I'm not the kind or gentle person you imagined. Anything I do for you later will only be realized based on the acquaintance after that accident."
Tang Ran seriously thought about Luo Zhan's words. After a long time, the little girl smiled slowly.
"That's fine too."
"Very good?" Luo Zhan was surprised. He had thought that the girl would not like his answer.
"Well, very good." Tang Ran nodded and said with a chuckle, "This will make me think that what the store manager said is right."
Luo Zhan: "?"
Tang Ran: "It's destined. I used to hate this word, because everything it brought me was not bad and I didn't want it. But if the first gift it brought after these was Luo Luo, I'm happy then."
Tang Ran thought for a while, and then seriously added: "For Luo Luo, I will cherish it in the future."
For the first time, Luo Zhan was stunned by the girl's words for a long time before he regained his senses.
"Although Tan Yunchang's focus is not on this word, but..."
Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and smiled dumbly.
He remembered the orphanage with cramped windows, the dark solitary cell, and the bruised boy in the broken mirror in the nightmares that followed over the month.
He slowly understood why he would forget this memory.
Probably too young and powerless creatures, in the face of unbearable suffering and pain, the escape method chosen by the body instinctively.
but.
If fate's gift to me in the name of suffering is you—
Luo Zhan raised his eyes.
Looking at the girl in front of him, he whispered:
"Then I am grateful and cherish it even more."
Tang Ran didn't know what Luo Zhan was thinking, she just smiled and lowered her eyes.
"Yes, me too."
According to the original plan, after Tan Yunchang and Lin Qianhua carried Tang Luoqian off the expressway, they pretended to lose Luo Zhan's supercar, and then they started on the overpass in M city that was as complicated as a 3D maze. The "travel" that spins around.
When Tang Luoqian was so anxious that his face turned pale, Luo Zhan had already driven Tang Ran in his car and went straight to the eye hospital where Jia Junxi was.
Because the specific follow-up time was already set, after the two arrived at the hospital, they went up to the floor where Jia Junxi's private office was located unimpeded.
It's just that after the front desk confirmed their reservation information, they raised a new question—
"Sorry, Mr. Luo."
The lady at the front desk is not the same as last time, but the same is the reaction of avoiding and blushing when looking at Luo Zhan.
"According to the appointment information record here, the lady you are accompanying needs to do a blood routine test again."
Luo Zhan was already about to help Tang Ran to Jia Junxi's office. Hearing this, he looked back and frowned slightly: "Didn't you finish all the inspection items last time?"
The front desk was taken aback by the cold eyes. After a few seconds, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, is that so? Because I wasn't in charge last time, so I'm not sure about the situation... Then, I'll call and ask."
Luo Zhan frowned and waited in place.
Tang Ran hesitated for a while, stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of his cuff, and said softly, "Luo Luo, don't be so fierce."
Luo Zhan paused, hesitantly bowed his head: "Am I fierce?"
The little girl nodded slowly, then raised her hand, trying to remediately measure a short distance between her delicate thumb and index finger: "A little bit."
Luo Zhan looked at the two thin white fingers and the other little fingers that were curled up obediently.
"Okay," the young master pretended to be serious with a hidden smile, "pay attention next time."
Tang Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
"but."
Luo Zhan remembered the words at the front desk, and narrowed his eyes again unhappily.
He raised his hand, and unconsciously but possessively touched the little girl's head, his tone was dangerous—
"Our little girl is white and tender. Who knows what they are thinking about stabbing you with one more needle."
"… "
The little girl was well-behaved and did not move. Like the ball under the stone lion's paw.
