Chapter 10

For a few seconds, Tang Ran almost thought that “Luoluo”, who had walked with her through too many instances of loneliness and despair, had finally come to life like in her dreams.

In the end, she was only a 16 or 17 year old girl. She was unable to see and isolated from the outside world, so she lived more simply than her peers.

She had no colorful experiences or interesting stories in her life, not even a friend of her own age to talk to.

Except for Luoluo.

So just like every girl had fantasies and dreams, Tang Ran dreamed many times that her “Luoluo” would really exist; become a real person who could always talk to her in a lazy, flippant, and cold voice.

No longer an artificial intelligence made up of countless language modules, no longer a voice that could only be stuck inside her small phone. In her dreams, her “Luoluo” was touchable and warm.

Just like this moment…

Tang Ran could hear from her position, through the thin clothes and flesh, the heartbeat “thumping” in the chest with human temperature.

”Luoluo….”

The cold and trembling girl slowly and unconsciously clenched her fingers.

Luo Zhan’s eyes were lowered, silently gazing.

The girl, who was drenched by the pouring rain and looked even smaller, was resting on him. Her body was still shaking a little, her thin white fingers tightly clenching the shirt on his chest.

Her voice was also very soft, with the kind of unease and panic specific to a blind little girl who couldn’t see anything in a completely unfamiliar environment.

It easily reminded people of a poor little kitten shrunken under bushes in the rain, with its fur dripping wet and hanging down—or a sick little kitten that couldn’t see the water in front of the street corner and the danger of upcoming traffic.

Luo Zhan’s hand rose a bit, finally stopped in mid-air, and then dropped down.

”….. How long do you want to hold on?”

Hearing that lazy, indifferent voice, Tang Ran’s body trembled lightly. She was finally pulled out of the illusion where she couldn’t tell whether it was a dream or reality.

After a few seconds of stiffness, Tang Ran slowly let go of the shirt she had clutched until it creased. With her head down, the ends of her long, wet, dangling hair gently curled and stuck up.

”Sorry,” She closed her eyes and slowly moved back half a step, “You….”

”I don’t want to accompany you to get wet in the rain. If you have something to say, do it in the building.”

Luo Zhan bent down and picked up the blind cane on the ground, handed the handle side of the cane to her hand, watched her clenched white fingertips hesitantly release then tighten up again.

The fine, drizzling rain was still falling.

Luo Zhan was still looking down, pausing for a few seconds then took off his half-wet, half-dry jacket.

He took off her soaked jacket with one hand and hung it on his shoulder. Luo Zhan gave the new jacket a shake and put it on her from behind—this time it was properly on, and even draped over the wet little head.

After these actions, it revealed the thin shirt on Luo Zhan’s body that had been wet for some time, semi-transparently stuck to his body, revealing the fair and beautiful muscle lines under the shirt.

He didn’t seem to notice.

Luo Zhan dropped his hand, lightly flexed his long knuckles to clasp the blind cane held firmly in the girl’s hand, “Hold on to it.”

He also held it, carefully guiding the girl to walk slowly at a speed she could adapt to, but his voice still sounded mischievous and lazy—”I’m going to send you back to the base where we keep our kidnapped little girls.”

Tang Ran, who was covered by that person’s familiar smelling jacket over her body so the drizzling rain couldn’t get through, only lowered her head to carefully walk.

As she walked, she thought, ‘The real “Luo Luo” was so vindictive.’

.

The place where Tang Ran had ended up was a bit far from the main building, but close to the building where she came from. Luo Zhan didn’t hesitate to take her back there.

There were already servants in the attached buildings, and today was Elder Luo’s birthday banquet, so in order to receive the guests who were sent to the attached buildings, there was naturally no shortage of people there.

When the servants in the attached building saw their young master in a sorry state with wet black hair, they were dumbstruck for a few seconds before reacting, “Young master, what are you-“

Seeing that the first person he met was a maid, Luo Zhan’s creased brows were slightly relaxed. He gestured to the pale young girl behind him, “Take her to take a hot shower, and deal with her dress.”

”What about you, young master?”

Luo Zhan frowned and withdrew his eyes from the girl whose body was shivering slightly from the cold, “You don’t need to care, take her first.”

”……Yes.”

Half an hour later.

In a guest room on the second floor of the attached building, Tang Ran, who was wearing a bathrobe, sat on the sofa.

The cleaning and steam drying took some time. The maid instructed the extraordinarily quiet young girl before she took the clothes and left first.

Tang Ran closed her eyes and nestled in the corner of the sofa, the wide and soft backrest and armrests giving her a high sense of security. She seemed to be thinking about something with her head down.

It was at this time that Luo Zhan came in.

The guest room’s small bathrobe was still an adult size. Wrapping it around the girl’s body almost bundled her arms and legs, looking like a white glutinous rice dumpling motionlessly shrunk in the nook of the sofa.

But the blow-dried long hair has returned to its normal slightly waviness, and the pretty face between the hair has more than a bit of rosiness after the hot bath. The lovely, red lips had some color to them, adding, to this already out of the ordinary face, a touch of beauty.

Not pale like a sickly child anymore.

Luo Zhan thought with satisfaction as he walked in.

He stopped in front of the girl.

After thinking about it, Luo Zhan didn’t speak directly, but crouched down in front of the sofa where the girl was sitting: “Are you uncomfortable anywher-“

”Are you Luo Zhan?” The girl suddenly looked up, speaking at the same time.

”……”

Luo Zhan was slightly startled.

Then he saw that the girl had obviously shrunk backwards slightly into her bathrobe to reveal a little of her white and tender toes.

She closed her eyes tightly, unaware that her small expression of a slight frown completely revealed her retreat:

”Going to be engaged to Tang Luoqian…. that Luo Zhan, right?”

”Luo Zhan didn’t agree, the marriage won’t happen.”

As he spoke, Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and looked at the girl’s toes that had curled up uneasily to hide away.

He frowned.

Then Luo Zhan looked up and heard himself inexplicably say.

”Anyway, I’m not Luo Zhan…. I’m Luo Xiu.”

For the sake of my wife, I can be anyone, whatever she wants ✓

…

Luo Zhan: I think I’ll regret it later.

Author: You will.

Luo Zhan: ……

Author: And it doesn’t have to be later, just the next chapter.

Luo Zhan: …………
