New Year's Eve late at night.
The main road in K City is deserted and clear, making people almost forget the splendid scene of the busy traffic on weekdays.
The dark blue sports car galloped down the empty street. On both sides of the car window, the shadows of passing trees and street lamps are like ghosts chasing, along with the noise and lights of Wanjia, they are left behind in the splendid Luli.
After going retrograde through the long dark night, the car finally stopped on the side of the main road next to the Tang family compound.
Luo Zhan took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
Opposite pick up soon.
Across the phone, the girl's voice was soft and joyful: "Luo Luo, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year," Luo Zhan responded, and then said with a smile, "But it's not New Year yet."
"Come on, come on."
"… "
Tonight, the little girl's voice sounded extraordinarily lively, and Luo Zhan couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth. He leaned forward, leaned on the steering wheel, and looked at the lights of the Tang family dormant in the dark at the end of the fork in the road.
The little bits of light reflected in his dark eyes, showing a gentleness that was different from usual.
"Do you have any New Year's wishes, little girl, the Wishing Pool will help you realize it."
"New Year's resolution..." The little girl muttered, and after thinking hard for a long time, she asked in a low voice, "If you haven't thought of it yet, can you mention it later?"
Luo Zhan couldn't help laughing: "Only at 0 o'clock in the new year can be called a New Year's wish, and of course it doesn't count after that. Our little girl can't be so greedy."
Tang Ran was a little dejected: "Oh."
This disappointed little tone poked Luo Zhan's heart firmly.
After a few seconds of silence, he leaned on the steering wheel and smiled helplessly with his forehead supported: "Forget it, I admit defeat. I can mention Ran Ran's New Year's resolution whenever I want, even if it is delayed until the last day of the year, I will Make it happen for you."
"That's not possible," the little girl laughed, which could be heard bright and bright through the phone, "On the last day, you have to have a new New Year's resolution."
Luo Zhan laughed dumbly.
A few seconds of silence on the phone.
Then the two of them spoke almost at the same time—
"Luo Luo, are you at home now?"
"Our little girl has returned to the side house?"
After tacit understanding, Luo Zhan said with a low smile: "I asked first."
Tang Ran hesitated: "Isn't it me?"
"no."
"Oh."
"So you have to answer me first." After Luo Zhan bullied the little girl, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up, "Have you returned to the house?"
"Well, it's been a long time since I came back."
"You haven't slept?"
"Uncle driver is here and said he wants to accompany me for New Year's Eve. Besides," the little girl said a little embarrassedly, "I'm waiting for your call."
Luo Zhan asked unexpectedly, "How did you know that I would call you?"
Tang Ran thought about it and said seriously: "Because I want to call Luo Luo, I think Luo Luo should think so too."
Luo Zhan was startled.
After a while, he lowered his eyes and couldn't help laughing dumbly: "You really..."
Tang Ran waited curiously: "?"
Luo Zhan didn't continue, didn't explain, just said, "I'll take you a little tighter when we get back to the light in the future."
Tang Ran was puzzled, and could only answer in a dazed and obedient manner.
"Is the uncle driver with you now?"
"Well," the little girl laughed, "do you want to ask uncle how's the new year?"
"No, he will take the opportunity to hang up on me." Luo Zhan joked, "But I also have a New Year's wish, can Ranran help me realize it?"
Tang Ran was stunned for a moment, and became excited after the reaction: "What is it, Luo Luo, you said."
"I'm so happy that I can fulfill my New Year's wish?" Luo Zhan couldn't help teasing her.
"Of course. You have always been my wishing well, and I want to be yours too."
"Well." Luo Zhan said pleasantly, "Didn't you ask where I am? I'm not at home now, not far from you."
Tang Ran stayed for a while.
Luo Zhan said: "So my New Year's wish is to see my little girl appear in front of me like a magic trick before 0:00."
"!"
Having known each other for more than half a year, the tacit understanding between Tang Ran and Luo Zhan has already reached the point where they can get through.
When the little girl came back to her senses, the happy voice came from the mobile phone to Luo Zhan's ears—
"Uncle, can you take me to the side of the road where we usually change cars? Luo Luo is waiting for me there!"
"… "
Before hearing the answer, Luo Zhan could already imagine Lan Jingqian's reaction. He couldn't help holding his forehead down and lowered his eyes, laughing hoarsely.
The high-beam headlights of the car broke through the dark night, and across the front window, directly brushed Luo Zhan's face.
Luo Zhan, who was lying on the steering wheel, instinctively raised his arm to block the dazzling light in front of his eyes. When he looked up to see where the light was coming from, Luo Zhan turned his head with a half-smile and snorted lightly.
The black sedan eventually stopped face to face.
Luo Zhan pushed open the door of the supercar, stepped out of the car with long legs, and stepped on the ground hard and frozen by the cold winter.
The leather shoes made a slight but rhythmic sound as they stepped on the hard asphalt.
A few seconds later, Luo Zhan stopped outside the passenger seat of the semi-convertible car. He held the door and leaned down.
"Happy New Year's Eve, Ran Ran."
The little girl holding the seat belt in the passenger seat blushed. I don't know if it was because of the wind or excitement, but when she heard this, she raised her head, the corners of her eyes were curved, and the corners of her mouth were raised: "Happy New Year's Eve, Luo Luo!"
This chorus-like conversation made the man in the driver's seat clutching the steering wheel even more upset. Lan Jingqian turned his face sideways and looked at Luo Zhan.
Luo Zhan raised his eyes and smiled lazily: "Long time no see, uncle."
"… "
In the new year, Lan Jingqian was so busy in the company that he was too busy, and even the frequency of appearing on Tang Ran's side was much lower. Apart from the phone contact, he and Luo Zhan really hadn't met at the side house for nearly a month.
In other words, Luo Zhan stayed by his precious daughter's side again without supervision, and didn't know if he had done anything bad.
But Tang Ran was most unprepared for Luo Zhan.
The old father sighed in his heart, with a serious expression on his face: "In such a cold weather, I have to call people out. What if Xiao Ranrong catches a cold?"
Just as Luo Zhan was about to speak, the little girl in the passenger seat turned her face away and said seriously, "No uncle, it's only been a while, my resistance isn't that bad, and I'm dressed very warm."
Lan Jingqian was speechless.
Luo Zhan held the car door and smiled dumbly: "I didn't think about it carefully. I wanted to come over to accompany the little girl for New Year's Eve, but Lin Qianhua and the others went home and the car couldn't come. This is the only way..."
Tang Ran couldn't help but turn back happily after hearing half of it: "Is Luo Luo here to accompany me for New Year's Eve today?"
"if not."
Luo Zhan laughed, raised his hand and rubbed the little girl through the wool cap: "I ran across most of K City, just to say Happy New Year's Eve to you in person?"
"Then get in the car, you can... can you hide in the back row?"
Lan Jingqian tapped the steering wheel and smiled faintly: "After all, the hood is open. If the security guards come to check, the probability of being found in the back row is too high - let's go to the trunk, it's safe there."
Tang Ran was stunned: "Can you hide from people in the trunk?"
Lan Jingqian was not in a hurry to answer, and turned to look at Luo Zhan.
After looking at each other for two seconds, Luo Zhan raised his eyebrows: "It's your honor."
"do not."
Tang Ran was anxious, she turned around and touched Luo Zhan's hand on the side door. The knuckles are slender and strong, but they are just as cool as ice and snow.
The little girl raised her head anxiously: "Why aren't you wearing gloves?"
Luo Zhan smiled helplessly: "I should ask you this question." The little girl's hand was much warmer than his, thin and white, and very soft.
"But I held a hot water bottle, and you came by car."
"It's okay. I closed the hood on the road."
"Oh..." Tang Ran didn't know what to think, and lowered her head.
Luo Zhan suppressed the reluctance to touch his skin, and pulled his cool hand back from the little girl: "Okay. It's too cold outside, put your hand back in."
Tang Ran clenched his fingers tightly but did not let go: "It must be very uncomfortable to hide in the trunk, we should think of a different way?"
"Don't worry." Luo Zhan smiled dumbly, "We'll see you later."
"… "
Twenty minutes later.
On the open space in front of the Tang family's side house, the black car slowly stopped.
Duan Qingyan, who was waiting under the stone steps, quickly walked out of the passenger seat: "Xiao Ran?"
Tang Ran heard the voice and looked up in surprise: "Have you been here for a long time?"
"I just arrived." Duan Qingyan opened the car door and helped Tang Ran down in the car, "I thought you were asleep when no one answered the door. I only knew you were out after asking the security guard—this is the New Year's Eve, you are here. What are you doing outside?"
Tang Ran laughed: "I received another friend for New Year's Eve."
"Pick up... people?"
Duan Qingyan was stunned and looked at the back of the car.
She didn't dare to look at the big boss in the driver's seat - not long ago, she discovered that Tang Ran's new driver was Lan Jingqian, and she encountered a very familiar but relatively mild "threat".
However, the back seat was even more empty at this time, and there was no one there.
In the icy cold wind, Duan Qingyan shivered violently, and turned her head with a stiff neck: "Xiao Xiao Ran, is your friend sitting in the back row... You, you, have you talked to it before?"
Tang Ran felt a slight tremor in the hand holding him.
After being stunned for two seconds, she reacted and laughed softly: "You misunderstood." Tang Ran turned sideways in the direction of the car, "Uncle, open the door quickly, don't suffocate him."
Lan Jingqian raised his hand and pressed the button on the control panel.
The next second, the shivering Duan Qingyan froze in place—
The trunk door opened slowly.
After a rustling, the rebellious young master of the Luo family got out of the trunk in embarrassment.
