There is a private leisure manor on the outskirts of m city, covering a vast area. The park is planned and designed with a variety of styles of landscape parks, with pleasant scenery.
The manor implements a membership access system, the annual fee is high, and the threshold for membership requirements is extremely high. This also makes it rare to get guests in the manor, and the privacy is very strong.
Lan Jingqian took Tang Ran out on Saturday to let out the air, and the actual destination was here.
Tang Ran couldn't see, and he had been riding a car before entering the park. Naturally, he didn't know what kind of place he came to.
She only knew that after the car was parked, the surroundings seemed to be very quiet.
Lan Jingqian waved back the service staff in the manor who was going to help him park the car, signaled the other party to keep silent, and then got out of the driver's seat.
Walking to the passenger seat of the black semi-convertible car, Lan Jingqian opened the car door and unfastened the seat belt for the little girl in the car.
"Xiao Ran, we're here. You can get off the bus."
Tang Ran sat in the car and hesitated for a while. Instead of rushing to move, he turned his head a little uneasily and asked softly, "Uncle, what is this place?"
Seeing the girl's defense, Lan Jingqian smiled helplessly: "If I really want to kidnap you, then you will be alert now, isn't it a bit late?"
Tang Ran held back, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I just want to come out, I don't want to stay at home all the time... And I know you're not a bad person."
As she spoke, the little girl slowly moved out of the passenger seat while holding the blind stick.
Lan Jing modestly supported the girl and helped her walk on the road paved with marble slabs.
The near-noon sun shone through the leaves of the trees by the path. Shade, broken light, all like lake water, swaying sparkling on the flagstone road with the cool autumn wind.
Lan Jingqian chatted with the girl gently: "How do you know that I'm not a bad guy, a bad guy won't tell you he is."
Tang Ran held the blind stick and walked carefully. Hearing the words, he took a little thought and tilted his head to think: "Sitting together and talking, after a long time, you can always hear the sound."
"People can lie, and their voices can deceive people, so what should I do?" Lan Jingqian asked with a smile and lowered his eyes.
Tang Ran frowned in distress.
Lan Jingqian looked at the little girl who was much shorter than himself, and the mood in his eyes softened.
He raised his hand and touched the top of the little girl's head lightly: "It's not difficult for you."
Tang Ran was touched and stopped.
Lan Jingqian slowed down: "What's wrong?"
Tang Ran recovered and touched his bangs embarrassedly: "Uncle also seems to like touching his head very much."
"… "
Lan Jingqian stopped in place, and after two or three seconds, he slowly narrowed his eyes: "Also?"
Tang Ran didn't notice the subtle emotional changes implied by the word, and only blushed slightly because he thought of someone: "I know someone who treats me like a child, and always likes to touch my head like this."
Lan Jingqian endured the strong emotions in his heart, and tried his best to make his voice sound soft, natural, and casual: "The person you mentioned is the one you mentioned yesterday... Wishing Pond?"
Tang Ran stayed for a while.
After two seconds, she looked up: "Ah, I mentioned it to you yesterday," the little girl blushed and smiled with a small dimple, "I forgot."
"… "
very good. It has reached the point where it will be mentioned unconsciously.
A cool little storm was blowing in Lan Jingqian's eyes.
"What's the name of Xiaoran's friend? Does he often go to Tang's house to play with you?"
"Not very often, he's very busy." The little girl said seriously, "but he was very kind to me. In addition to helping me install a lot of devices in the partial house, he also positioned me. He said that every time I I can turn it on before I go out so he knows where I am."
Lan Jingqian paused: "In addition to positioning, does it have the ability to ask him for help?"
Tang Ran was surprised: "How does uncle know?"
Lan Jingqian did not speak—
He is getting more and more curious now, which top student in the field of control is this, using all the knowledge and skills he learned in his major to move his mind on a little girl.
The more Lan Jingqian thought about it, the more dangerous his eyes became, and he finally managed to suppress it.
He looked down at Tang Ran and followed the little girl's words: "It sounds like he is indeed a very powerful person."
"Right?" The little girl was so happy that her eyes rolled down, as if she was being praised, she raised her face proudly.
Lan Jingqian narrowed his eyes, his voice was still gentle: "Xiao Ran seems to like him very much?"
Tang Ran was stunned.
After two seconds, she turned back and lowered her voice: "Is it that obvious?"
Lan Jingqian was angry and helpless: "When you mentioned him, you always laughed like he was about to bloom."
"… "
The little girl was still silent, which made Lan Jingqian feel a bad feeling in his heart. He frowned: "Could it be that he doesn't like you?"
At the end of the sentence, you can already hear a little anger - how does Lan Jingqian see that his little girls are cute, well-behaved, obedient and sensible, so beautiful when they smile, and so painful when they are sad... How can there be such a thing in this world? Dare the bastard like his little girl?
After being silent for a while, Tang Ran said softly with a bit of frustration: "He seems to think of me as a daughter."
Lan Jingqian: "—?"
Tang Ran didn't notice Lan Jingqian's shock, and still lowered his head and said, "Maybe because I'm young, I'm also short."
Speaking of this, the little girl's face was almost wrinkled with bitterness: "He must be over 1.8 meters tall, and I'm only 159. Standing next to him, he must look like a child."
Lan Jingqian couldn't bear to see the little girl's aggrieved appearance, so he comforted: "It's okay, our little ran is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and it will grow in the future."
Tang Ran sighed softly again, with a serious and heavy expression: "And there are a lot of people who like him."
Lan Jingqian was almost amused by the little girl and asked, "How do you know?"
"His friend told me." Tang Ran said, "He is very good-looking, very good and very smart. There are many girls in their school who like him, let alone outside..."
"Then does he have a girlfriend?"
"Like, no."
"It's as good as you said, and I don't have a girlfriend..."
As Lan Jingqian spoke, a figure of a young man standing lazily in his trouser pockets and smiling half-smiles could not help but appear in his mind.
Lan Jingqian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "It's a very rare species."
Tang Ran fell silent again.
Lan Jingqian waited for a while, then looked down at the little girl: "Why don't you speak again?"
The little girl who had been entangled for a long time raised her head with a serious and serious expression: "Uncle, let me tell you a secret and then ask you a few questions, okay?"
"secret?"
"Well, you have to promise me that you can't tell anyone else."
"...Okay," Lan Jingqian crouched down, "I definitely won't tell anyone."
Tang Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still tense: "The secret is that although it is difficult to achieve, I want to chase him."
Lan Jingqian's expression was slightly stagnant.
After a few seconds, the old father with the alarm bell in his heart broke away from the edge of that complicated and dangerous emotion, and asked, "Then, what is the problem?"
Tang Ran's expression was tangled: "I don't know what to do. The only boys I know are him and his friends, so I can't ask his friends. Although there was a love teaching class yesterday, I still don't know much about dating. Parts should choose what kind of place…”
"Wait a minute," Lan Jingqian recalled the girl's voice in his mind, and then determined that the word he heard was not an illusion, "What love teaching class? Who gave it to you?"
Tang Ran answered honestly, "My robot."
"robot?"
"Well, an intelligent humanoid bionic robot for home service." The little girl also smiled when she mentioned the robot, "It's a gift I received on my birthday this year."
"Able to engage in intelligent dialogue and communication?"
Tang Ran nodded: "I heard that it has hundreds of thousands of language modules, as well as artificial skin and a human-like heartbeat and body temperature. It's very powerful."
"… "
Lan Jingqian frowned slightly—
Although these classification functions are indeed the functions that can be realized at the current technical level, there will still be many problems in theory if these functions are integrated and fully put into commercial sales and home use.
Lan Jingqian did not express this suspicion temporarily. He looked at Tang Ran: "Then, how did that robot teach you?"
Tang Ran said distressedly: "It said that an important step in cultivating relationships is dating. Uncle, are you right?"
"… "
Lan Jingqian, who has only been in a serious relationship once in his life, and who has been in love for many years, fell silent when he heard the words.
After a few seconds of silence, Lan Jingqian said uncertainly, "Yes, right."
Tang Ran heard the hesitation in those words and asked hesitantly, "Uncle, have you ever chased a girl?"
Lan Jingqian: "..."
He didn't.
He was only pursued very strongly by the woman who should make the little girl in front of him call her mother.
Tang Ran waited for silence, and then asked, "How many times have you been in love, uncle?"
Lan Jingqian: "..."
Lan Jingqian: "One time."
Tang Ran: "Ah." I don't know if that little expression is emotion, surprise or sympathy.
Tang Ran asked as much as possible this time: "Uncle, you should have been to other places other than study or work, and have dating experience, right?"
Lan Jingqian: "..."
He was born with no romantic element in this regard, and in school, he also had a cold style of reading only the books of sages and sages.
During the relationship, apart from the library, the study room, the playground and the cafeteria of their two schools, it seems that there are only...
Hotel too.
The air was embarrassingly silent.
The founder of auto technology, who is known in the industry for his calmness and responsiveness, is now frozen in the autumn wind at the end of November, looking at the curious waiting girl opposite, but can't say a word.
This silence lasted for dozens of seconds, and Tang Ran slowly understood something.
She hesitated and comforted softly: "It's okay, uncle, when I have dating experience, I'll teach you."
Lan Jingqian: "..."
