Chapter 33

In the roar of the kitchen’s exhaust hood1.

Butler Lin’s smile stiffened and he slowly shuddered.

“Youngest…. Young Master?”

His faltering tone made Luo Zhan, who had taken the lunch box, raise his eyes and lazily glance at him.

Then Young Master Luo smiled coldly: “It’s me. Not possessed, you don’t need to look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Butler Lin had experienced many things in his years, so the shock from the sight in front of him only caused him to be momentarily startled.

He soon regained his smile fitting of a professional butler and bowed slightly towards Luo Zhan.

“Young Master, I wouldn’t have been that surprised if I had seen a ghost.”

Luo Zhan: “……”

“You wait here for a moment.”

He had, with great difficulty, tricked Tang Ran back into her room. Luo Zhan didn’t have time to waste. He first turned around and brought the ancient wooden lunch box in his hand into the kitchen, and the food inside was transferred onto the prepared plates. Then he put the things he took out of the fridge according to the list into the lunch box.

Before leaving the counter, Luo Zhan also conveniently turned off the exhaust hood that had been running for a long time.

Not long after, Butler Lin saw Luo Zhan walking back to the door with the lunch box and handed it over to him. Butler Lin reached out to receive it.

Luo Zhan narrowed his eyes and threatened, “Don’t say anything about this to anyone today, not even my grandfather.”

Butler Lin was stunned and answered truthfully, “I met the Eldest Young Master before I came, so he already knows the purpose of my visit.”

Luo Zhan lazily raised his eyes, “I meant about the apron.”

“……” Butler Lin once again glanced at the somehow threatening-looking Hello Kitty on their icy-faced Young Master. He held back a smile and nodded with difficulty, “I understand. “

After being silently ridiculed again, Luo Zhan expressionlessly thought how possible it would be to silence him.

Butler Lin keenly sensed the murderous aura on their Young Master’s body and promptly straightened up: “Eldest Young Master asked me to give you a message.”

Luo Zhan frowned slightly, “What’s the message?”

Butler Lin repeated word for word: “If he’s still interested, the thing that we didn’t finish talking about before, then come and talk to me before today’s over.”

“……”

Butler Lin was too dedicated, so even Luo Xiu’s gentle and warm smiling appearance was imitated to a seventy or eighty percent similarity-

Luo Zhan was instantly disgusted.

Before he could say anything, a door from the direction of the bedroom opened behind him, and a girl’s voice rang out from the hallway: “Luo Zhan, did someone come?”

“……”

The smile on Butler Lin’s face became astonished.

He felt that this voice sounded familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it before.

But that didn’t stop him from looking at Luo Zhan again in amazement-

The Luo family’s Young Master was famous for his high standards that were demanding to the point of insanity. Because of his fixation toward beautiful eyes, he has been secretly laughed at by outsiders for being eccentric and strange.

This time, he was acting so weird because he had suddenly become enlightened?

Luo Zhan didn’t give Butler Lin the opportunity to communicate with his eyes. He withdrew his gaze that still carried disdain, lazily turned around, and smoothly closed the door.

“You don’t know them. It was someone selling insurance.”

“…… Oh.”

The last bit of their exchange could be heard before the door closed in Butler Lin’s face.

Knowing that this meant for him to disappear immediately, Butler Lin could only sigh, pretend he hadn’t seen anything, pretend he didn’t know anything, and turn into the elevator room to leave.

Young Master Luo’s had lived a pampered life, but his mind was top notch, and his memory even better.

Before Butler Lin arrived, Luo Zhan was given the recipes for each dish in the lunch box, and he basically remembered eighty or ninety percent, if not a hundred, after reading them through once.

Therefore, during lunch time, Luo Zhan presented the ingredients, knife-work and cooking instructions of each dish to Tang Ran very smoothly and naturally. She was listening with great interest as she ate.

Looking at the little girl’s lips that gradually reddened as she ate, Luo Zhan seriously thought about how possible it would be to add a cooking function for their generalization focus on home service robots.

For this kind of demand, the INT team could go take cooking class or something like that….

Young Master Luo was in deep thought.

If you take advantage of someone, it would be difficult to refuse the other party’s request.

After eating the lunch “made” by Luo Zhan, Tang Ran was too embarrassed to drive him out. When Luo Zhan suggested listening to a radio drama together, Tang Ran was already sleepy according to her biological clock, but she still pushed through it and nodded in agreement.

At first, Tang Ran could still converse a little with Luo Zhan. After listening for half an episode of the radio drama, Luo Zhan inadvertently glanced back and found the little girl lying on a small cushion in between the two large cushions on the sofa. Her palm-sized face was mostly covered by the long and mussed up hair, and her eyelashes quietly rested on her cheeks.

Her breathing made the strands of hair flutter gently as she slept soundly.

Luo Zhan blanked then dropped his hand to pick up his phone on the table to turn off the radio drama. Then he walked to Tang Ran’s room, picked up a soft blanket from the bench at the end of her bed and brought it to the living room.

When he arrived at the sofa, Luo Zhan leaned down and covered the girl with the blanket.

It slightly disturbed the sleeping girl. She rolled over under the blanket in her sleep and then lightly rubbed her cheek against the big pillow next to her.

“Luoluo…. this is the wrong way….”

The little girl softly murmured in her dream.

Luo Zhan’s upper body froze in mid-air.

After a few seconds, he slowly stretched out his hand towards the girl before stopping inches away from the long dark hair on her head.

He wanted to rub the little girl who still cherished “Luoluo” even in her dreams, but Luo Zhan didn’t want to risk waking her up in the end.

His hand clenched above the girl’s head and stopped himself.

“…… Sweet dreams.”

Luo Zhan heard his own voice whispering.

Using a low and gentle voice that he himself had never heard before.

.

Tang Ran’s mind was peaceful for some reason and her sleep was extraordinarily deep and long.

So much so that when she woke up, she was in a bit of a trance that she didn’t know what day and year it was. Wrapped in the soft blanket, she thought for a while. From her muddled thoughts, Tang Ran slowly sorted out what happened before she had fallen asleep.

She was unsure of what time it was and unsure if there was anyone at home. And if so, who was it?

Tang Ran slowly sat up and carefully called out in the darkness, “Luoluo?”

“…… I’m here.”

After the silence, only the lazy, cold and lordly sound of the navigational system rang out from the phone placed beside her.

Tang Ran sat unmoving in the darkness.

At this moment, her heart suddenly flooded with an unexplainable painfulness. The loneliness and sadness she had tried for a long time to escape from caught up with her easily in the darkness after the extraordinarily long nap.

At this moment, she realized that what she was really looking forward to when she called out this name was much more than just the AI “Luoluo” in her phone.

After all, “Luoluo” was just “Luoluo”.

She could be greedy too.

Wishing for something more.

The girl’s arms under the blanket slowly tightened. Never before had such intense sadness wrapped around her heart like an intangible vine .
