The autumn wind is bleak.
Outside the side house where Tang Ran was not present, the air between the two men standing opposite each other under the stone steps was so cold that it was close to freezing. It gives people the illusion that winter has come early.
After the dead silence, the silence was finally broken—
"Why are you here?" Lan Jingqian asked.
Luo Zhan: "I should say this."
"If I remember correctly," Lan Jingqian's gaze lowered a little bit, "Even if Young Master Luo has a relationship with the Tang family, it should be a marriage contract with the man in the main house—in that case, why did you appear in the side house, Why do you know Tang Ran?"
"… scoff."
The indifferent and cold expression of the young master was cut through by a lazy and mocking smile. He lowered his head, put his hands in his trouser pockets without seriousness, and took two steps forward while laughing—
He stopped in front of Lan Jingqian.
Luo Zhan slowly raised his head.
In those lazy and careless eyes, the beast that was dormant on the ground at this time was cold: "Are you questioning me? In what capacity? The founder of auto technology, or the... driver of the Tang family's partial house?"
At the end, the young man raised the corners of his mouth.
He was clearly smiling, and the muscles from his shoulders back to his arms were slightly tensed, but all of them showed that he was holding back his emotions on the verge of eruption.
—Lan Jingqian's hidden identity became Tang Ran's driver, which undoubtedly touched Luo Zhan's bottom line and high-voltage line at the same time.
If it wasn't for the scruples that Tang Ran was in the side house at this time and might appear at any time, Luo Zhan probably couldn't help picking up the collar of his "good brother" and pulling him aside to question him.
It was the first time that Lan Jingqian faced Luo Zhan like this - after taking off the coat that always looked lazy and didn't care about anything, the young man's eyes were sharp enough to scratch people.
The layer of paper in Lan Jingqian's mind was pierced by this sharp stab:
"So, the little girl you and Tan Yunchang talked about before is the one you took to Jiajunxi for eye examination and treatment, that is, Tang Ran."
"Yes."
Luo Zhan deserved to be firm and decisive, and the sharpness of his eyes was not reduced by half.
"After I answer, it's up to you. Why did you appear in the Tang family's partial house, and why did you want to be Tang Ran's driver?"
Lan Jingqian didn't answer, just nodded slowly: "So the little girl you said that you wanted to harm that day was also Tang Ran."
Luo Zhan frowned, and the corners of his lips raised a cold smile: "Is it related to you?"
Lan Jingqian was expressionless: "Very, good."
"—"
The two looked at each other reluctantly.
There were swords and swords in the eyes, and the atmosphere was stalemate. Seeing that there might be a fight in the next second—
"squeak."
The outer door of the side house was pushed open, and the little girl who changed her coat walked out slowly holding her blind stick.
Facing the quiet darkness, she stopped blankly: "Luo Luo?"
"-I am here."
Luo Zhan, who was confronting Lan Jingqian, didn't turn his head, and instinctively answered first.
The next second he came back to his senses, and under Lan Jingqian's surprised and thoughtful eyes, Young Master Luo rarely showed a little bit of discomfort.
But soon, that little emotion was suppressed by Luo Zhan.
He didn't confront Lan Jingqian anymore, turned around and walked up the stone steps. On the next step of the stone steps where the little girl was standing, Luo Zhan stopped.
He was used to taking the blind cane from the girl's hand as he could, folded it and held it in the palm of his hand, and supported the girl's hand with his right arm: "Are you ready to go?"
"Um."
Tang Ran also habitually clenched Luo Zhan's cuffs.
"Let's go then."
"it is good."
"… "
At the foot of the stone steps, Lan Jingqian, who was a few steps away, stood still and watched this incomparably skillful set of movements, until the two figures, one high and one low, walked in front of him, and he slowly narrowed his eyes.
After standing there for a few seconds, Lan Jingqian opened his legs and followed.
In front of the open space where the house was parked.
A few steps away, Lan Jingqian has already remotely opened the door of the semi-convertible car.
"Let Xiao Ran get on my car."
Luo Zhan, who was parked next to the loading truck in the int laboratory, looked back, his eyes cold: "Why."
"Because I'm Xiaoran's driver." Lan Jingqian glanced to the side, "Besides, do you drive this kind of car to toss her every time you come?"
Luo Zhan frowned slightly: "My car is not convenient to come in."
"Afraid that people in the Tang family's main residence will find out?"
"Nothing to do with you."
"… "
Lin Qianhua heard the movement and got out of the driver's seat of the loading car. He went around the front of the car, walked to Luo Zhan's side, and subconsciously looked up at the person who dared to be tough with their brother Zhan.
Seeing the very familiar face clearly, Lin Qianhua was startled and opened his mouth subconsciously: "Lan—"
Before he finished speaking, Luo Zhan, who had noticed in advance, raised his blind cane in his hand.
The rest of the words were slapped in the mouth by the handle of the blind cane.
Lin Qianhua returned to his senses, and hurriedly retracted his gaze to Luo Zhan in front of him. Lin Qianhua's heart skipped a beat when he met the cold and lazy eyes of the young man.
To shut up.
Luo Zhan frowned and mouthed at Lin Qianhua.
Lin Qianhua immediately blinked frantically, indicating that he understood.
Only then did Luo Zhan put down his blind cane.
Before taking it back, he thought of something, and he lifted the cane handle that hit Lin Qianhua's mouth, and rubbed it on Lin Qianhua's clothes in disgust.
Lin Qianhua gave him a wronged look.
Lan Jingqian watched this "mime play" on the sidelines.
Tang Ran didn't know what happened. After waiting for so long without hearing a voice, she raised her face curiously beside her: "Luo Luo, do you know the driver's uncle?"
"… "
Luo Zhan and Lan Jingqian looked at each other.
next second.
Lan Jingqian looked away lightly: "I don't know."
Luo Zhan laughed coldly: "I haven't seen it before."
Tang Ran was even more at a loss.
Although Luo Zhan was reluctant, considering Tang Ran's comfort, he personally sent the little girl into the black car driven by Lan Jingqian.
When he squatted down to fasten Tang Ran's seat belt, Luo Zhan's voice was laziness and did not hide: "We will change cars when we get to the side of the road. If you feel unsafe, then remember to ring the alarm bell I set for you."
Tang Ran pondered for a while before she understood, and she said softly, "Luo Luo, uncle is very good, don't make fun of him like this."
Luo Zhan lowered his head, buckled the seat belt into the safety buckle, smoothed the folds of the girl's coat, and then raised his eyes.
He reached out and rubbed the girl's long hair lightly, and smiled lazily: "You also said that I am a good person - from this point of view, your judgment can't be referenced at all, I don't believe it."
"Isn't Luo Luo?"
Tang Ran was amused by his self-deprecation, and the corners of his eyes were like crescent moons.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Lan Jingqian glanced blankly.
After holding it for a few seconds, he struggled to look away from Luo Zhan's hateful hand touching the top of Tang Ran's head.
"We're going." Lan Jingqian said.
"..." The smile in Luo Zhan's eyes faded. A few seconds later, he still only looked at Tang Ran, took a half step back, and lowered his hand. "Little girl, see you later."
Tang Ran's hand subconsciously shook in the dark, but he didn't grasp anything.
After returning to her senses, she nodded seriously: "Well, see you later."
"… "
The loading truck drives ahead.
After exiting the back door of the Tang family compound, Luo Zhan took off his obscure baseball cap and threw it beside his seat. He took out his mobile phone and called Tan Yunchang.
"You'll see Tang Ran get off Lan Jingqian's car later, don't say a word, just get in the car and go back to school."
Tan Yunchang digested it for a few seconds on the opposite side: "Lan Jing - my male god??"
"Um."
"Why would he—"
Luo Zhan interrupted coldly: "I have more questions than you now, and my mood is worse than yours. Are you sure you want to ask me now?"
Tan Yunchang swallowed hard.
Luo Zhan leaned into his seat and narrowed his eyes. After a long while, he suddenly said, "After this call is over, you should check with Qi Jin about something immediately."
"What's up?"
"… "
After the phone call between Luo Zhan and Tan Yunchang ended, the car was still dead silent for a while.
Then Lin Qianhua finally recovered from the shock, turned his head to look at Luo Zhan in astonishment: "Brother Zhan, don't you think—"
"I don't think anything, just doubt." Luo Zhan raised his eyelids lazily and paused, "I don't want to die in your hands while driving."
"Oh." Lin Qianhua quickly turned around.
But recalling Luo Zhan's explanation to Tan Yunchang just now, he was still a little uneasy: "But your suspicion is too bold."
"Is it."
Luo Zhan turned his face sideways.
Looking at the black semi-convertible sedan driving in front of the loading car outside the front window glass, Luo Zhan slowly lowered his gaze.
The black convertible was naturally much faster than the loaded car, and pulled to the side of the avenue two minutes earlier.
In the initial silence, Tang Ran tensed for a while, but still couldn't help turning to the driver's seat, and asked softly, "Uncle driver, don't you like Luo Zhan?"
"… "
Lan Jingqian was called back from his chaotic thoughts by Tang Ran's words.
After thinking for two seconds, he said, "I know this young master of the Luo family, and I admire him very much. It's just... It's hard for me to accept him appearing by your side like this."
Tang Ran hesitated and asked, "Why?"
Lan Jingqian sighed and said: "He is the most favored young master of the Luo family, and he is blessed in other aspects. He has developed a rebellious temperament that no one looks down on. That is his pride. It is also his capital. Such young people are sought after everywhere. If Xiaoran likes him, then I will be very worried. "
"… "
The girl in the driver's seat was silent for a long time, and slowly lowered her head: "Uncle the driver also thinks that I am not qualified to stand with Luo Zhan?"
"Of course not!" Lan Jingqian vetoed without thinking, "Xiao Ran deserves to be liked by the best boy in the world."
Tang Ran lightly grabbed the seat belt and whispered, "Luo Luo is the best person in this world for me."
Lan Jingqian's eyes trembled.
After a while, he sighed silently: "Is he good to us Xiaoran?"
Tang Ran nodded vigorously.
After a few seconds of pause, Tang Ran seemed to feel that this was not enough, and spoke again.
"Luo Luo is the best person to me. He was fierce and indifferent at first, but that was just his performance. He would come back to me when it rained, give me his coat, and Accompany me on the bus he has never taken. When I am lost, he will look for me in the heavy rain. When I have not eaten, only he will always remember. I am afraid that when he wants to escape, he will Pretending to be his brother in front of me - he's obviously a very proud person, and that's probably the last thing he wants to do, but he's done a lot for me like that."
After Tang Ran finished speaking, the car was quiet for a long time.
After waiting for a while, the little girl suddenly reacted, blushed and lowered her head: "Did I say too much."
Lan Jingqian slowly returned to his senses, and smiled helplessly: "There are indeed a lot. It seems that you remember everything with him very clearly."
"..." The little girl's face turned even redder. But she nodded seriously and frankly, "Because Luo Luo is very good. He deserves my memory."
"But he's been so nice to you, and I'm worried too."
"?" Tang Ran raised his head blankly.
Lan Jingqian was silent for a few seconds, then raised his hand and touched the girl's head lightly: "Xiao Ran, there is a truth in this world that no one will treat you well for no reason other than your parents."
Tang Ran didn't hear clearly, and tilted his head in confusion.
Lan Jingqian withdrew his hand and looked at the approaching car in the rearview mirror, his eyes became more complicated.
"Without relatives and no reason, there are only two possibilities for you to go against your nature and treat you to the extreme. Either because of guilt, or because of intentions. Which one will he be...or both?"
"… "
Tan Yunchang and Lin Qianhua left in the loading truck.
There was only an inky blue supercar and a dark black semi-convertible sedan on the side of the avenue.
Before Tang Ran changed from Lan Jingqian's car to Luo Zhan's car, she received a call from her grandmother, Yang Yilan, who had taken care of her before.
The little girl was obviously very happy, and she couldn't wait. She picked up the phone and hid behind Luo Zhan's car to answer the call.
Luo Zhan was leaning on the front of the car, waiting lazily with his long legs.
Until his own phone vibrated suddenly.
After reading the news at a glance, Luo Zhan slowly narrowed his eyes. After a few seconds, he straightened up, jumped off the car, and walked straight to the black sedan parked in front of him.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Lan Jingqian's attention soon followed Luo Zhan's approach, and shifted from the little girl in the rearview mirror to Luo Zhan.
He unbuckled his seat belt, turned halfway, and watched Luo Zhan walk to his car.
Lan Jingqian raised his eyes lightly: "Is something wrong, Young Master Luo?"
Luo Zhan held the door of the black car and leaned down slightly: "There is indeed a question I want to confirm with you, Mr. Lan."
Lan Jingqian showed no expression: "I can't bear to be called a young master like this."
"Then change it, Mr. Sui Lan likes it. Oh, I thought of it."
"?" The inexplicable erratic tone made Lan Jingqian frown, looking up at Luo Zhan.
Luo Zhan lowered his dark eyes and smiled suddenly.
"Maybe, I should have called in advance... Dad?"
