Tang Ran suddenly released the breath that she was holding. She was so tense that her face was pale, but now she relaxed and finally slowly regained a little color.

“Why did you come back?”

Luo Zhan didn’t answer, but picked up the key and got up. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, “How did you know it was me?”

Tang Ran was stunned, but still answered truthfully: “You have the scent of amber cedar on you, cool and light.”

Sure enough.

Luo Zhan: “Smell good?”

Tang Ran nodded honestly.

Luo Zhan lightly hooked the corner of his mouth, “There’s a fee.”

Tang Ran: “?”

Luo Zhan weighed the key in his hand. He lowered his eyes and recovered his usual lazy smile, “I’m thirsty. Treat me to a glass of water.”

Tang Ran bowed her head, “Granny doesn’t seem to be at home….”

“I have the key here.”

“–“

The girl raised her head suddenly.

If not blind, Luo Zhan thought these beautiful eyes must be bright and gleaming at this time, like they held two pools of water. They would also set off the girl’s pretty face and make it even more beautiful.

The bottom of Luo Zhan’s heart rolled over with deep regret.

“Want the key?” Luo Zhan asked.

Tang Ran promptly nodded her head.

Luo Zhan looked like he saw a little fish that was eager to bite the hook. He lowered his eyes and laughed silently, “For the key, it’s a different price.”

“?” The girl looked up blankly.

Luo Zhan: “If you don’t let me in, you won’t be given the key.”

Tang Ran: “……”

One minute later.

At last, Young Master Luo sat down contentedly on the small sofa in Tang Ran’s house.

After Tang Ran entered the door, she was obviously much more comfortable than outside. Her blind cane was put away in the long cylinder in the foyer. Even without its assistance, Tang Ran still seemed to be able to move around like a normal person.

Luo Zhan watched as the girl fetched a cup and poured a glass of cool and clear water. Then Tang Ran put the pot back in its place and sat in good posture on the other side of the sofa.

“Drink it.” The girl’s voice was very soft.

Although Luo Zhan wasn’t thirsty, he came in using this reason. At this time, he could only pick up the cup.

After taking a sip of water, Luo Zhan seemed to ask casually, “Have you lived here for a long time?”

“It seems to have been seven or eight years.”

Luo Zhan frowned: “The Tang family hasn’t brought you back this whole time?”

Mentioning the Tang family, her pretty face dimmed a bit. She was quiet for a few seconds and curved the corners of her eyes: “Mhm, but it’s okay. I should go back after my 16th birthday.”

“Why wait until then?”

“Granny’s daughter-in-law is about to have a baby. When the baby’s born, Granny will have her own little grandson or granddaughter…. After that, she won’t be able to take care of me anymore.” Tang Ran closed her eyes and spoke in a very soft voice.

She seemed a little down, just carefully concealing it, “Father said he would arrange for me to move to the side house so that it would be more convenient for me.”

Luo Zhan’s voice was slightly cold, “Side house?”

“Well,” Tang Ran didn’t notice and said with curved eyes, “The Tang residence has a big backyard. There’s a separate small house in the southwest corner of the backyard, which is the Tang family’s side house. It’s very secluded, and I like it there.”

“……”

Luo Zhan’s expression grew colder and colder. He leaned into the sofa, and emotions surged in his eyes.

Not hearing Luo Zhan speak for a long time, Tang Ran slowly stopped smiling and showed a little uneasiness, “What’s wrong?”

Luo Zhan returned to his senses and turned his eyes back, “Will you be the only one living there?”

Tang Ran: “Mhm. Granny will go back to her hometown afterwards.”

“Aren’t you afraid?”

Tang Ran was stunned. After a moment, the little girl concealed the bit of timidity and uneasiness in her emotions, curving her eyes into crescents and smiling lightly: “No, ‘Luoluo’ will accompany me.”

“——!”

The water in Luo Zhan’s glass shook.

For a moment, he almost thought Tang Ran was calling him.

What was even more terrifying was that in that split second, he realized he didn’t hate the thought.

Luo Zhan was silent.

Tang Ran was quiet for a while and finally took the initiative to ask: “But why is the key to my house in your possession?”

Luo Zhan was reminded and his consciousness came back, “Your Granny’s daughter-in-law had a premature birth, and she temporarily rushed back.”

Tang Ran was stunned.

Luo Zhan ‘kindly’ prompted, “You can give her a call and ask about the situation.”

“…… Okay.”

Tang Ran didn’t care to say more. She hurriedly got up and went to her bedroom.

Luo Zhan waited in the living room.

Until he heard the faint sound of conversation in the bedroom, he then took out his cell phone and also dialed a phone number.

Within seconds, the call was answered.

On the other side, Tan Yunchang, so hurried he went pale, picked up the phone: “Ancestor, tell me honestly. Is your ‘just a glance’ a normal person’s glance or is it based on a glance of a million years1 kind of glance?”

Luo Zhan: “Something came up temporarily. I couldn’t go back.”

Tan Yunchang: “……”

Tan Yunchang: “If you don’t come back to find the issue with us, what’ll we do about the bionic robot?”

Luo Zhan: “Even if we can figure out the issue, we can’t fix it with our lab’s level of equipment.”

Tan Yunchang: “But Tang Ran’s birthday is in two days. We can’t send a completely ruined robot there, right?”

“……”

Something flashed through Luo Zhan’s eyes.

After a moment, he slowly leaned back into the sofa.

Looking at the ceiling of Tang Ran’s house, remaining silent for a long time, Luo Zhan suddenly laughed lowly.

Tan Yunchang froze on the opposite side, “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at….”

Luo Zhan looked at the dark pattern on the ceiling, his eyes resigned and at ease.

“I might really be going crazy.”
