Tan Yunchang reacted and almost laughed out loud, but he still tried his best to hold back: "No... Sister Tang Ran, why do you ask that, just because of what he said during the day?"
Tang Ran nodded, then shook his head again, and said seriously, "It's not the first time he's said something like this."
Tan Yunchang: "?"
Tang Ran: "The first time we met was when I went to the int store that day, and he took me home. He said it once at the Qingyan Road bus stop."
Tan Yunchang asked in shock, "What did he say?"
Tang Ran recalled, then sat up straight with a small face, imitating Luo Zhan's lazy and cold tone at that time, and said:
"Put your clothes on. The aunt next to me has accused me of abusing my daughter."
"Hahahahaha..."
Before Tang Ran finished his studies, Tan Yunchang almost fell down laughing—
"You're really familiar with Luo Zhan, and you've learned the tone of his voice just like that!"
Tang Ran lay back helplessly and frustrated: "But at that time, I didn't hear the voice of my aunt talking at all, it must have been said by him."
"So, do you think he has treated you as a daughter since then?"
Tang Ran nodded: "Well."
Tan Yunchang laughed so hard that he couldn't sit still, but seeing that the little girl was really depressed, he had to hold back: "cough, but in my impression, Luo Zhan is really not the type... who has the halo of fatherly love."
Tang Ran was silent.
From that emotional state of laughing away, Tan Yunchang suddenly found a question that he had just ignored: "However, sister Tang Ran."
"Um?"
"You seem... really don't want Luo Zhan to treat you as a daughter?" Tan Yunchang considered his words carefully, "Look, in fact, with Luo Zhan's background, being petted by him as a daughter is something that many people dream of - if he really is Do you think so, don't you like it?"
The little girl was lying on the square table and didn't speak.
The thin shadows under the lamp spread over her beautiful face, looking bleak and lost.
This even made Tan Yunchang verify a certain idea in his heart: "You won't be..."
"I don't want him to be like that." Tang Ran summoned all his courage and spoke. "Because I like him."
The girl's voice was very soft, her voice even trembling a little, but with a certain kind of determination.
Tan Yunchang was shocked, and it took a few seconds to find his voice: "You, do you like Luo Zhan? What the hell, that's too—"
The word "Qiao" did not come out, but Tan Yunchang took it in in a dangerous and dangerous time.
It doesn't matter if you tease the little girl and provoke Luo Zhan in other matters, but if Luo Zhan's plan is accidentally destroyed in this matter...
Tan Yunchang really didn't think Luo Zhan could let him see the sun tomorrow morning.
After Tang Ran finished speaking, he anxiously and earnestly waited for Tan Yunchang's reaction. Listening to Tan Yunchang's silence, she waited for a while before asking, "Manager, what are you trying to say?"
Tan Yunchang coughed awkwardly: "Nothing, nothing."
The corners of Tang Ran's mouth were pressed down by heavy emotions, and his voice was low: "Are you trying to say that I am too self-sufficient?"
Tan Yunchang hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I didn't say—"
"But I still want to try."
Tang Ran raised her head and her tone became firmer. Those delicate and soft facial features are rare resolute expressions, "I haven't fought anything since I was a child, because I don't think I can compete. Those beautiful people and things seem to have nothing to do with me from birth, but Luo Luo told me. I am worthy."
Tang Ran paused and said in a softer voice, "He's the only one who told me that. So if it's for him, I think I'll work hard and be brave once. Even if I fail... I fail..."
The little courage that the girl had just mustered up slowly faded away, and her pretty little face wrinkled.
She sighed in frustration: "But if I fail, won't Luo Luo ignore me? He seems to hate girls who show affection to him."
Tan Yunchang's expression distorted, and after finally calming down the turbulent mood, he decided to give the little girl a hint.
After deliberating for a moment, Tan Yunchang said earnestly: "Sister Tang Ran, I wonder if you have heard a word?"
Tang Ran raised his head: "What?"
Tan Yunchang: "That is to say, life is like a large-scale competition composed of many races. Those little things, goals, whether it is emotional or otherwise, it is like a short-distance race."
"Yeah." Tang Ran listened attentively, and nodded approvingly.
"And in these short races, everyone's starting point is different. Some people are more unlucky and stand on the starting line; some people are lucky and stand in the middle of the track."
Tan Yunchang deliberately paused for two seconds, and then emphasized his tone:
"In addition to these people, there are also very few selected children - in some things, she is simply standing on the podium! What more competition, just award the award directly!"
"… "
The little girl stopped talking. She frowned and began to think about Tan Yunchang's words.
After a few seconds, she nodded: "Well, I understand what the manager means."
Tan Yunchang was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, if you understand—"
"The store manager said that Luo Zhan has many, many suitors, enough to fill up from the starting line to the finish line." The little girl looked serious, "So this game will be particularly difficult."
Tan Yunchang: "?"
Tan Yunchang was silent for a few seconds, trying to save himself as if he was gossiping: "You're right to say that, but..."
"Manager, I'm mentally prepared."
Tang Ran clenched her fingers, her tone tense and serious.
"I know Luo Zhan is very good, and his suitors must be very good too. I can't compare to them now, but it doesn't matter, I will try my best to become a better person."
"… "
Tan Yunchang's head is as big as a bucket.
When Tan Yunchang was racking his brains to think about how to bring this apparently deviated situation back, the doorbell of the side house rang.
Tang Ran turned his head: "Did the robot deliver it?"
"… should be."
Tan Yunchang stood up with a tangled expression, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly had an idea.
"Sister Tang Ran."
"Um?"
"If you really want to chase Luo Zhan, you might as well have a chat with your robot."
"...Ah?" Tang Ran asked in confusion, "What are you talking about with it?"
Tan Yunchang was enlightened and showed a mysterious smile: "I didn't tell you before that the language module of this robot comes with a love tutorial module. But we haven't tested this function yet, you can try more keywords, always can inspire.”
Tang Ran hesitated: "But I didn't think about it now..."
"Don't be afraid, just prepare in advance. And if you let 'Luo Luo' keep it a secret, no one will know. He listens to you the most."
"Okay," the little girl nodded hesitantly, "Thank you, store manager."
"You're welcome, you should do it."
Tan Yunchang finished throwing the pot with a wicked smile, suddenly felt relaxed, and just wanted to hum a little tune and go out.
Before leaving, he glanced at the mechanical box that had been placed outside the house. Tan Yunchang deliberately stepped forward and patted the door of the box, and then went around and got on the truck driven by Lin Qianhua.
After he got into the car, Lin Qianhua in the driver's seat asked inexplicably, "Senior, why did you just knock on the door of the mechanical box?"
Tan Yunchang: "It's okay, just remind the people inside."
"remind?"
"Well," Tan Yunchang held back for a while, but he didn't hold back, he laughed gleefully, "I just watched the sky at night, and figured out the fate of someone tonight."
"Ah? Brother Zhan? What's wrong with him?"
"Peach Blossom Tribulation."
"…?"
Tan Yunchang knocked on the door before leaving, which indeed reminded Luo Zhan.
Although Luo Zhan didn't know what happened and didn't have time to communicate with Tan Yunchang, he still intuitively felt that something unusual would happen tonight.
Thinking that it was mostly related to Tang Ran, Luo Zhan was still worried in the end. He took out his mobile phone that was set to silent in the storage box specially set up in the mechanical box, and sent a message to Tan Yunchang:
[What do you mean by knocking that?]
After dozens of seconds, the message came back: [Hey, it's alright, just a reminder. Tonight, Xiao Tang Ran said that she would have a heart-to-heart with her robot.]
Luo Zhan frowned slightly: [This is it?]
[That's it. But tonight you may have a more in-depth chat. I am afraid that your ancestors will be frightened if you are timid, so I will remind you first.]
"… "
In the mechanical box, Luo Zhan froze when he received this message. After a few seconds, the corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking manner, and his fingers pressed on the voice key—
"Ding dong."
On the truck, the mobile phone beeps.
Tan Yunchang, who was joking with Lin Qianhua, looked down and said, "Hey, it's still a voice message."
Lin Qianhua asked, "What did Brother Zhan say?"
"I'll listen."
Tan Yunchang switched to a loudspeaker, a little louder. Then I heard a lazy and pleasant magnetic mechanical sound from the phone:
[You will be frightened by chatting with little girls, do you think I am as unpromising as you?]
Tan Yunchang: "..."
Lin Qianhua heard clearly and smiled beside him.
"You can't scare Brother Zhan. He is blessed by nature, so he always looks like he is lazy and doesn't care about anything. I haven't seen him why he panics. "
Tan Yunchang regained his senses and gritted his teeth angrily: "I almost forgot that this is a commonplace confession by a little girl... It's not really unresponsive, right?"
"Ah? What did you say, senior?"
"It's okay. Forget it, let's go."
"okay."
Since Duan Qingyan, who regularly delivered three meals to the partial house, was "bribed" by Luo Zhan, he moved more freely here every night.
Duan Qingyan was forced to watch this scene countless times—
The little girl ate dinner slowly with her cheeks puffed up, while at the table, the "robot" who would call out "Master" tamely often leaned against the opposite wall while the little girl was paying attention to dinner. Look at the little girl.
In Duan Qingyan's eyes, this scene will automatically switch to another picture:
The little white rabbit, who was completely unaware, was slowly chewing the leaves in the grass, and a big wolf next to the grass was grinding his claws to watch his "dinner".
But most of the time, the big wolves who sharpen their claws are lazy.
And no matter how long he waited, he never seemed impatient. Occasionally, he would drop his eyes and laugh silently when he was amused by the little frowning expression of the girl.
At this time, those eyes that were usually cold and indifferent when they looked at others seemed to become very soft.
—It was completely different from the young master of the Luo family that Duan Qingyan had heard about from the servants of the Tang family, and it felt affectionate and soft.
Until the little girl finished her dinner.
The person by the wall will return to normal as soon as possible, and then express to Duan Qingyan with his eyes, "You can leave as soon as possible".
As usual tonight.
Duan Qingyan swallowed a sigh, and tidied up the table. Before going out with the dining table, she vaguely told Tang Ran: "Recently... there are a lot of bad people, you have to pay attention to safety."
Tang Ran was stunned, and nodded obediently: "I'm not going anywhere, just stay at home."
"… "
Duan Qingyan wanted to cry but had no tears - that's why she was worried!
Duan Qingyan raised her head subconsciously.
Then she saw the boy leaning there in front of the wall not far away, raising his eyes lazily, and glanced at him with some kind of warning, his eyes were cold and indifferent.
Duan Qingyan trembled in her heart and did not dare to say more. She quickly said goodbye to Tang Ran and left with the lunch box.
There is only one person and one "robot" left, and the house is extraordinarily quiet.
After dinner, the little girl lay on the square table, without looking up or speaking for a long time. The thin brows were tightly wrinkled, and they were almost tangled into flower-shaped frowns, and I didn't know what was bothering me.
Luo Zhan in front of the corner couldn't help frowning.
Although Luo Zhan didn't think Tang Ran would say anything that would scare him, he still took the initiative to walk over.
"Good evening, master."
Mechanical sounds cut through the silence.
Tang Ran slowly recovered, raised his head, and said apologetically, "Ah, I forgot that you were still here, I'm sorry Luo Luo."
"It's ok."
"… "
Looking at the little girl who was obviously still absent-minded, Luo Zhan lowered his eyes: "Which language module do you want to activate tonight?"
Tang Ran was silent for a long time, and finally asked softly: "The store manager said you have a love teaching module, right?"
Luo Zhan paused.
After a few seconds, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone became increasingly dangerous: "Of course. The sub-module is turned on."
"It really does." Tang Ran sat up straight in surprise.
After hesitating for a while, she asked solemnly, "Then Luo Luo, can you teach me how... to pursue a boy I like?"
Luo Zhan didn't speak.
There was not a trace of emotion between the clear and handsome facial features, only the slowly tightened cheekbones, from the sharp lines revealed the anger that was forbearance to the point of collapse.
At that moment, his sanity disappeared, and all his thoughts seemed to switch to extremes under the scalding magma and the absolute zero glacier.
The feeling of ice and fire almost drove him crazy.
Tang Ran waited for a long time without hearing the answer, then turned around blankly: "Luo Luo?"
"… "
No reply.
The house was still dead silent.
Tang Ran was a little panicked, and she was about to get up as she groped for the edge of the square table.
Until the mechanical voice sounded in my ear:
"Pursue... who."
Familiar low magnetic, mixed with unfamiliar coldness and hoarseness.
In a place where Tang Ran could not see, in just a few seconds, the cold and white-skinned boy had already endured the redness of the corners of his eyes - those unwillingness and anger were all suppressed by himself before they collapsed.
He lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.
Luo Zhan refused to look up, let alone look at Tang Ran's expression: if he really saw a girl thinking of another boy with a tender face, he was afraid that his emotions would completely collapse.
... It's not her fault to like someone else, he can't scare her.
And in the side house where no one else could see, Luo Zhan didn't need to hide it.
The young master, who had always been rebellious and rebellious, was completely embarrassed in just one or two words from the girl.
In this inexplicably disturbing atmosphere, Tang Ran hesitated before speaking.
Before mentioning that name, she instinctively lowered her voice and lowered her eyes.
Like every girl does when she mentions her crush:
"His name is Luo Zhan."
Luo Zhan: "..."
Luo Zhan: "?"
