Chapter 93

Views:

Tang Ran sat on the hospital bed, the tears on her face were still dry, she just stared blankly at Luo Zhan walking from the door of the ward to her step by step.

Luo Zhan stopped by the girl's hospital bed.

He raised his hand, gently wiped away the tears on Tang Ran's cheeks, then leaned down on the edge of the hospital bed and whispered, "I'm sorry, Ranran, I'm late again." The mechanical voice was close at hand, revealing Husky magnetic.

"…!"

For Tang Ran, the unbelievable sound and image finally combined in a close distance and could no longer be denied.

Her pupils shrank slightly, and she finally came back to her senses: "Luo, Luo Luo?"

"AI voice assistant, bionic robot, and Luo Zhan, which Luo Luo do you want to call?" Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and smiled helplessly, "But no matter which one, it's all me."

"how come… "

Tang Ran glanced blankly at Luo Zhan with his low gaze, as if he couldn't understand how his bionic robot could suddenly become the most familiar person.

Luo Zhan didn't speak or move, just let Tang Ran look at it.

After a long time, the girl on the hospital bed shifted and whispered, "Are you pretending to be my robot to deceive me because you were afraid that I would be sad?"

Luo Zhan was startled. When he regained his senses, he couldn't help laughing and crying: "I did lie to you, but not now, but in the past—from the very beginning, the robot Luo Luo who came to you is me."

Tang Ran was stunned on the hospital bed.

"Still don't believe it?" Luo Zhan laughed dumbly. He held Tang Ran's hand and raised her finger, "Then let's recall."

"?"

Tang Ran's thoughts were so chaotic that Luo Zhan held his fingers and carried him between the two of them without resisting.

Luo Zhan said in a low voice, "Close your eyes."

Tang Ran asked inexplicably, "What do you want to do?"

"Obey, dye."

"..." Tang Ran hesitated, but slowly closed his eyes.

In the darkness she was most familiar with, Tang Ran felt every trace of pulling force—Luo Zhan pulled her hand up slowly, and then her fingertips touched the familiar body temperature.

As if being scalded, Tang Ran's fingertips shrank back suddenly.

Luo Zhan's eyes darkened, just looking at the girl's closed eyes as if she was frightened, he couldn't help lowering his eyes slightly and laughed hoarsely: "When we first met, you were much bolder than you are now. It's... lord."

Tang Ran's mind was stunned, and her mind automatically began to recall this day a year ago. After experiencing great sadness and surprise, she said and did to the "birthday gift" that suddenly appeared in front of her.

[The eyelashes are so long. It was soft to the touch, and seemed to be a little warped.]

[…]

[The bridge of the nose is also high... The lips are thin... Is there temperature control here too?]

[Yes, Master.]

[what is this?]

At this moment, Tang Ran suddenly remembered the frozen robot and the mechanical voice that suddenly became a little hoarse.

Tang Ran suddenly opened his eyes as if frightened.

What he said was...

Tang Ran's fingers were gripped even tighter, but the retracted distance was narrowed again - her fingertips were attached to the delicate and cool body skin at the man's neck, and the underside of her fingertips was an obvious bulge.

Luo Zhan was looking at her and smiled faintly.

"This is the Adam's apple, master."

Tang Ran: "!"

The quiet and well-behaved hand that Luo Zhan held in his palm broke away with a swish and pulled it back.

The little girl looked at Luo Zhan with wide eyes, like a frightened kitten or some other creature.

The expression was filled with some kind of silent accusation.

Luo Zhan laughed: "Don't look at me like this, as if I've done something to you. Ranran, you should have remembered it - it was you who did it to me first."

Tang Ran instinctively refuted: "But I thought you were a robot at that time."

Luo Zhan nodded: "I was indeed at that time."

Tang Ran choked.

After several seconds passed, she finally frowned and said slowly, "So, are you really a robot Luo Luo?"

Luo Zhan smiled lightly and nodded seriously: "Well. You should feel it, and you can feel it more - the robot by your side has always been me."

"Why do you want to do that."

Luo Zhan was helpless: "Most of what Tan Yunchang said was right—the newcomer in the int lab broke the bionic robot gift that grandpa prepared for you. But the time was not in the two months that I went to country t, but before your birthday."

"You can tell me clearly."

Luo Zhan said frankly: "At that time, you just arrived at Tang's house and lived by yourself. You were looking forward to that gift. How could I have the heart to disappoint you?"

The little girl pursed her lips: "So you were lying to me from the beginning."

Luo Zhan was silent.

"At first you told me you were Luo Xiu, then you pretended to be my robot, and even..."

Tang Ran's words suddenly stopped.

Luo Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his eyes alertly: "Even what?"

"It's nothing," after a moment, the girl wrinkled her nose and muttered softly, "I'm just thinking, how many things have you lied to me."

"… "

Luo Zhan couldn't help but look away guiltily.

The room was quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, the little girl on the hospital bed finally moved. Luo Zhan's eyes caught her for the first time, waiting for some unknown "verdict".

The little girl said honestly: "My robot didn't have an accident, I'm very happy; but you have had countless opportunities to tell me the truth, but you have been hiding it from me, and I'm not happy. So I'm in a mess now, and I still want to... "

Luo Zhan frowned while listening: "Want to be alone for a while?"

Tang Ran raised her eyes unexpectedly: "How do you know?"

Luo Zhan: "Before I came, I thought about all the consequences that I could think of."

Tang Ran blinked: "Then my answer, is it a good result or a bad result for Luo Luo?"

Luo Zhan: "The worst."

Tang Ran was obviously surprised. She wrinkled the tip of her nose and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Am I easy to deceive and coax in Luo Luo's heart?"

"No," Luo Zhan sighed, raising his hand and rubbing the top of the little girl's head, "all the answers that I can't see you are the worst for me."

"… "

"However, this is the 'retribution' I deserve. We little girls should learn to be cruel, treat everyone the same, and don't forgive easily."

After Luo Zhan finished speaking, he retracted his hand reluctantly, and stood up straight: "Then I'm leaving, do you rest?"

"Yeah." Tang Ran nodded.

Luo Zhan turned around and walked out of the ward.

When he got to the door, he stopped, turned around and asked, "Do you really want me to celebrate your birthday with you here?" Luo Zhan paused and smiled wickedly, "Master?"

The little girl on the hospital bed lived up to her expectations, and her pale face quickly turned red.

She clenched the quilt under her hand and tried her best to bulge her face: "I want to listen to Luo Luo's advice and be cruel to anyone, so... No, don't."

Luo Zhan tutted lightly, angrily and funny: "What I taught you, are you going to use it all on me?"

The little girl pursed her lips and didn't speak, she didn't look sideways, her little face was stern and cold.

"Okay," Luo Zhan stepped out of the room, looking at the girl on the hospital bed with a last look, his eyes softened, "Good night, my little girl."

"… "

The ward door is closed.

In the darkened room, after a long silence, the girl on the hospital bed slowly lay down.

She stayed facing the dark ceiling above her head for a long time, the quilt was grabbed by the corner of the little girl and pulled up little by little, covering her white and rosy cheeks.

After a long time, a low murmur with a slight smile came from under the quilt.

"Good night, Luo Luo."

Luo Zhan stood outside Tang Ran's ward, leaning against the wall, waiting silently with his eyes down.

It wasn't until the only very light breathing in the silent room that he had left a slit in the door of the ward became even and steady, Luo Zhan slowly stood up straight.

He sewed the last line of the door shut, turned around and walked towards the stairs with his trouser pockets in.

When passing the nurse station, a young female nurse came out across from Luo Zhan. Luo Zhan hadn't seen her before, and didn't care, he was ready to walk over with drooping eyes.

However, the other party glanced at Luo Zhan while rubbing shoulders, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at Luo Zhan: "Ah, it's you."

Luo Zhan's footsteps stopped, his eyes lifted lightly: "We know each other?"

The nurse was stunned for a moment, then smiled apologetically: "Am I a little too sudden and scared you? I'm sorry, but you should be the boyfriend of the little girl who lives in the v1 room, right?"

"… "

Luo Zhan looked back.

The room he just walked out of was the vip 1 ward of the sanatorium attached to the private eye hospital in Jiajunxi.

Luo Zhan's indifferent mood eased a little. He didn't admit or deny it, he just turned sideways and said, "I don't remember seeing you in the v1 ward."

"It's true that we haven't seen each other, but I have seen you," the nurse laughed. "To be precise, I have seen many pictures of you."

Luo Zhan was startled and frowned: "Where is my photo?"

The nurse stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "It's in that little girl's ward. For the first two months, this little girl came to our nurse station every day to pick up some newspapers related to the technology field that no one else has ever read, and also I will cut out the track report about a game called the Songke Cup. I saw it when I went to change her dressing one day, and she showed me her collection - little girl to find all the ones you have participated in. I'm afraid it took a lot of work to edit the newspaper clips of the competition."

Luo Zhan couldn't be stunned for a long time before he could react: "All?"

"Yeah." The nurse said with a non-defensive smile, "I think the earliest newspaper photos in it are six or seven years old, right? You look like fourteen or fifteen years old in it. If it wasn't for this little girl's collection If you take pictures of you every year, I'm not sure it's you."

"You just said, when did that happen?"

"Well, it was two or three months ago. The little girl's eye stitches were removed not long ago. At that time, I told her not to stare at these things all the time."

"… "

Luo Zhan froze in place for two seconds, turned his head slowly, and looked at the ward he came from behind with complicated eyes.

If he had collected photos of him participating in the competition every year, it would explain why Tang Ran had no unexpected reaction when he saw him at the K City International Airport more than a month ago.

She made all the mental preparations and went to that airport after practicing how many times they met.

Even her answer when they mentioned the young boy—

[Actually, I have forgotten what he looks like. After all, it's been too long.]

The real truth is that she never forgot.

She just pretended to forget the "culprit" who had blinded her for ten years in front of everyone, just for him, for all his guilt and self-blame.

Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and slowly clenched his fists.

"Obviously said to learn to be ruthless, but it's so simple to forgive when it comes to the biggest thing." Luo Zhan said in a hoarse voice, loosening his stiff fingers.

He lightly raised the corners of his mouth mockingly, put his hand back in his trouser pocket, and the slender figure slowly walked down the stairs.

"But what to do—just forgive that coward who can only run away, I can't do it."

A week has passed since Tang Ran's old birthday, and she has not received any news from Luo Zhan.

Until a phone call from Tan Yunchang suddenly came over that Sunday afternoon without warning.

As soon as Tang Ran picked up the phone, Tan Yunchang's voice on the other side of the phone rushed into her ear: "Sister Tang Ran, have you contacted Luo Zhan in the last two days?"

Tang Ran was stunned for a moment, shook her head instinctively, and then thought that Tan Yunchang couldn't see her reaction, she said, "No, we haven't been in touch since my birthday last week... Did something happen? "

Tan Yunchang gritted his teeth: "It's okay, I'll-"

"Store manager," Tang Ran clenched her phone tightly, her voice tense unconsciously, "I hope you don't hide anything from me about Luo Luo."

Tan Yunchang choked.

After a while, after Tang Ran urged again, Tan Yunchang had to speak: "I don't know if I should tell you this, but if Luo Zhan finds out, it is estimated that he will be chasing me all over the street..."

Tang Ran held her breath nervously: "What's the matter?"

Tan Yunchang: "From this Thursday to today, Luo Zhan has not been seen in the laboratory for three full days - his mobile phone can't get through, I called the Luo family, they refused to disclose it, I went to the Luo family to find someone , they won't let me in either."

Tang Ran only felt a buzz in his head, and all his thinking ability was emptied in an instant.

After a few seconds, she asked with a pale face, "Did something happen to Luo, Luo Luo?"

"I guessed the same way. We have a friend named Qi Jin. He is very well-informed. We also asked him about many things, so after I couldn't get in touch with Luo Zhan, I went to ask him."

After Tan Yunchang finished speaking, he seemed to stop with some hesitation, and after thinking for a second or two, he said awkwardly:

"According to Qi Jin's statement, Mr. Luo's birthday party this year was postponed to this Wednesday for unknown reasons. Tang Shixin came to visit on behalf of the Tang family, and Luo Zhan openly contradicted Mr. Luo in front of many guests from famous families and directly confronted Tang. The family is torn apart, and there is no room for the possibility of the marriage contract between the two families..."

Tan Yunchang fell silent.

Tang Ran's breathing was trembling slightly, she clenched her fingertips tightly, and pinched her palms to the point of redness and deep depression, but she didn't realize: "Then what?"

Tan Yunchang sighed: "Yes, it is said that Mr. Luo was mad, and he asked Luo Zhan to agree to the marriage contract, and then apologized to Tang Shixin. If he didn't agree... If he didn't agree, he would be called to change his tune. Take it soft."

Tang Ran's eyes trembled: "Did he agree?"

Tan Yunchang was silent for a while, then sighed faintly: "Qi Jin said that the blue brick Luo Zhan was kneeling on was dripping with blood... He didn't say a word until he passed out."

"!"
