After leaving the study, Luo Zhan didn’t pause, walking straight to the side room next door.

The servant had been waiting outside the side room. When he saw Luo Zhan coming, he bowed slightly, “Young master, Miss Tang Ran is inside.”

Luo Zhan glanced at the closed door and lowered his voice, “Mm, you can leave. There’s no need for you here.”

The servant was stunned and subconsciously looked at the white notepad held in the crook of Luo Zhan’s arm, “But later I have to send Miss Tang Ran downstairs….”

Luo Zhan didn’t say anything and looked at him indifferently.

His scalp was numbed by that stare. The servant had no choice but to agree repeatedly, then turned around and quickly left.

Luo Zhan stood outside the room for two seconds, raised his hand and pushed open the door.

The side room of the study of the Luo residence’s main building was also a small reading room. Using bookshelves to divide the space, various genres and sets of books were displayed on the shelves. The entire other side of the room was arranged with complementary sets of plain solid wood tables and chairs in a simple style.

The little girl who was led in by the servant was sitting on a round wooden stool next to the table.

Probably after hearing the sound of the door opening, the little girl who was leaning against the corner of the table and was about to fall asleep suddenly pricked up her ears, held her blind cane alertly and turned to the direction of the door.

Luo Zhan took it all in and silently hooked the corners of his mouth. He walked over to the table, reached out and pulled over the tray he had brought over in advance, fiddling with the silver dessert spoon on it.

Tang Ran, who was sitting at the table, heard the movement and slowly shrank back a little, her voice light and polite: “Luo Zhan….. brother?”

”……”

Luo Zhan’s fingers stopped for a moment.

After a moment, he lifted his eyes slightly and looked at the little girl who was carefully “looking” at him with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

This was the first time in Young Master Luo’s life that he found being called brother in a soft voice could be a very interesting and even pleasing thing.

Taking the silence as a tacit acknowledgement, the girl fumbled to get down from the wooden bench, “Since your business is over, let’s go downstairs, shall we?”

Just as the words had come out, Tang Ran wrist was grasped and brought back to the table.

Tang Ran’s figure suddenly stopped, tilting her face up nervously.

The hand she was holding was unconsciously clenched. Her thin white fingers were clasped in her palm, her delicate shell-like and lovely pink nails were pinching her palm until it turned pale.

Luo Zhan lowered his eyes for two seconds, then inexplicably reached over and took the cold metal handle of the dessert spoon and lightly pushed it into her palm.

The metal handle was so cold that the little girl’s hand shook.

As she was very close, Luo Zhan could even see the eyelashes above her long, slender, slightly curved eyes, which were closed tightly, trembling gently.

”Luo, Luo Zhan brother…..”

The girl was so scared that her voice was a little unsteady. Because she couldn’t see, she didn’t know what he had given and what he was going to do.

This little tremor at the end of tone brought to mind the delusion that Luo Zhan had startled himself with in the study. He frowned and finally didn’t have the heart to tease her again.

”It’s me.”

The same familiar, lazy, cold and somewhat commanding voice as her navigation.

Tang Ran was dazed: “Luo Xiu?”

”……Mm.” This address made Luo Zhan frown with displeasure.

Tang Ran’s tense shoulders suddenly collapsed, her unconsciously clenched fingers also loosened, “I thought it was Luo Zhan…..”

Luo Zhan raised his eyebrows, “Are you that afraid of him?”

”A little. Granny said he’s really scary, told me not provoke him.” Tang Ran’s loosened fingers touched the cool metal handle, and she touched it curiously, “What is this?”

”A dessert spoon.”

”?”

”Didn’t you not eat anything tonight?” Luo Zhan snapped out of it and put the small shining silver spoon into the girl’s palm, then pulled the tray in front of her, “And you didn’t know to cry out for hunger.”

”I’m not at home, I was embarrassed…..” The girl finished in a whisper and remembered something, “Me not eating anything tonight, how did you know? I heard them say you had something tonight wouldn’t appear.”

Luo Zhan sat on the round wooden stool opposite the girl, propped up his hand to support his cheekbones, and lazily replied, “I saw it from the third floor.”

”Then why didn’t you go down?”

”Luo Zhan didn’t let me.”

”Huh?”

”He doesn’t like me to show up when he’s at home.” After Luo Zhan said that without thinking , he dropped his hand and knocked on the tray, “Eat something. Being hungry for a long time will hurt your stomach.”

”…. Oh.”

The girl nodded and obediently touched the tray to pick up the dessert spoon.

When Luo Zhan was about to watch the little girl eat dessert, the phone in his pants pocket buzzed and vibrated.

Tang Ran across the table raised her head.

Luo Zhan tsked in displeasure and took out his phone, “I’m going to take this call first, you can eat.”

”Okay.”

”……”

To be on the safe side, Luo Zhan walked outside the side room and closed the door before picking up the phone.

The person on the other side stammered, “Zhan, brother Zhan, are you busy, busy tonight ……”

”If you have something to say, say it.” Luo Zhan paused for two seconds and frowned, “What’s wrong with the lab?”

”Just, just that bionic robot that was delivered this morning. I wasn’t in the lab at that moment and also forgot to mention, they thought it was experimental thing we bought. It seems….”

”Seems what.”

Luo Zhan, who was lazily leaning against the wall, straightened up and had a sense of foreboding in his heart.

The opposite side wailed, “It seems that it was dismantled and broken.”

Luo Zhan: “……”
