Volume 1 Chapter 69 Coffee
Lin Ran called her grandmother and asked her not to worry about herself, and then she browsed the news aimlessly, which she usually couldn't see, but in fact, Lin Ran had a very serious mobile phone dependence, and she couldn't imagine what it would be like if she went out without her mobile phone.
It was also at this time that she felt someone gently pat her on the shoulder, and Lin Ran's whole body immediately entered a state of alert, if she hadn't immediately reacted that this was a coffee shop, she might have reached out directly to greet her.
Lin Ran turned his head and looked over, and was surprised for a moment: "It's you?" ”
The man standing behind her, wearing an ordinary shirt and trousers, was the man she had a relationship with two years ago, Yancheng is a very big city, and this coincidence still couldn't help but make Lin Ran really surprised.
The man smiled shallow after seeing the surprise on her face: "It's a coincidence, isn't it?" ”
"yes, and in this kind of overcrowded café." Lin Ran shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and then moved a few steps with the person in front of him, "Seriously, why do so many people want a cup of coffee after ordering this?" ”
"And you, aren't you one of those people you are talking about?" The man did not respond to Lin Ran's words, on the contrary, he threw the question back in front of Lin Ran with a smile.
To be honest, Lin Ran didn't like this kind of conversation.
She has always hated to use mental work in this kind of ordinary conversation, Lin Ran has always thought that she has caused the rapid death of many brain cells in the working state, she feels that for her own sake, she usually uses her brain less and uses her brain less.
She sighed in her heart, and had to work very hard to deal with the man in front of her, I don't know why, Lin Ran just felt that the man in front of her was like a sharp knife, trying hard to pierce into her own protective range, this feeling made her involuntarily erect the spikes all over her body, wanting to make the other party retreat.
"You know, overtime." Lin Ran showed a helpless expression and lied, "And I have to need this." ”
"Ah, I agree with you very much on this point," the man looked at Lin Ran's apricot eyes and replied quietly, "Working overtime is a headache, isn't it?" ”
Lin Ran glanced at the team in front of her, and couldn't help but calculate in her heart how long it would take for her to drink coffee, and whether it was the right choice to queue up to buy coffee and deal with this man: "Especially when you are connected to the day shift and the night shift." ”
The man looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise: "Lian Ban...... It's a very inappropriate question, but what do you do? ”
"I think you should be kept a little bit of mystery, don't I?" Lin Ran looked at him with a smile, and there was a sense of agility in her eyes, "You know, under this kind of coincidence, mystery is the best choice." ”
The man thinks it's very strange, although this girl is just having a normal conversation with him, but even if he has deliberately restrained the aura on his body, but he has not carried out any camouflage behavior in the past few years, which makes the aura on his body still unconsciously reveal a trace of clues, even if ordinary people are not aware of it, they will subconsciously dodge or obey, but this girl in front of him ...... But he has always looked at him with careless pride.
This is very interesting to him and very attractive to him.
"Well, that might work, who knows?" The man pretended to be pitiful and said, "But I guess you can answer this question, you're not a local...... At least you didn't spend your childhood here. ”
"In fact, my father was born here." Lin Ran didn't have any need to hide on this issue, "But I didn't stay here for long. ”
The man raised his eyebrows: "Went abroad?" ”
"No, it's just moving to another place." Lin Ran was pleased to find that there was only one person left in front of him, "But I think I can ask you the same question about this question, but I obviously don't have the foreshadowing of the previous question, will you answer it?" ”
"I guess," the man smiled, "but my six years here have made me think of myself as half a local. ”
Lin Ran took a step forward after ordering the order: "Although I have stayed in Yancheng, it is a pity that I still haven't had time to walk around properly." ”
"Then this can indeed be called a pity," the man ordered according to his preference, "Yancheng is a good place." ”
"Probably, after all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes." Lin Ran said while watching the waiter make coffee idly, "But my guardian is obviously not worried that I am wandering outside alone, and he said that it has not been peaceful here recently. ”
The man looked at her a little strangely: "Did your guardian say what it was?" ”
"No, but that's what my colleagues are saying," Lin Ran finally took her hot coffee and took a big sip with obvious satisfaction, "it makes me want to go home, and to be honest, I probably wouldn't have needed to come here if it weren't for my father." ”
"Didn't your mother object?" The man asked after taking his cup of coffee.
Lin Ran took another sip of coffee: "When I was four or five years old, my mother remarried. ”
"Sorry, I don't know ......"
"No, no, it's okay," Lin Ran smiled, "She didn't abandon me, so your apology doesn't mean anything." ”
The two walked out of the coffee shop side by side while chatting, Lin Ran was sure that she didn't like the temperature in Yancheng, and she was also sure that Yancheng didn't welcome her arrival, she scolded angrily in her heart, but on the surface, she didn't move: "So...... Where are you going? ”
"Go back to work overtime, I still have the documents to read," the man took a sip of his coffee, and Lin Ran was sure that he would never try the taste of pure black coffee again in his life, "Where are you going, I'll send you over, it's so late after all." ”
"Ah......" Just when Lin Ran was about to answer something, the afterglow of her eyes skimmed something unusual, and it was almost her innate vigilance that made her wake up in an instant, "Actually, I'm going to go home, but don't worry, I'll be there in a few minutes, and my brother is also waiting for me." ”
The man is not a fool, he naturally heard the politeness in Lin Ran's tone, and he nodded: "Be careful on the road." ”
"Of course," Lin Ran gave him an almost perfect smile under the streetlamp, "and so do you." ”
Lin Ran didn't deliberately speed up or slow down after turning away, she listened to her footsteps echoing in the silent night, and after she turned this fork in the road in order to avoid the man's gaze, the layer of camouflage in her eyes had completely disappeared-
finally revealed the cold as frost inside those eyes.
The person following behind her should not be a novice, Lin Ran thought quietly, but unfortunately she had seen too many such tricks, so that she was not interested in them at all now.
But it was just in time, and she hadn't moved her muscles and bones for a long time anyway.
The two men were a little surprised to find that the girl who had been walking in front of them had disappeared, but when they saw the path that was not too secret, they glanced at each other and saw the same smile on each other's face.
Since the one who had already said that this little princess only needed not to die, then what had been done to her was something that no one could control.
has such an eye-catching face, which can only be blamed on herself.
The path was not very long, and the light of the parking lot on the opposite side coldly illuminated a wall at the end, and the men walked half of the road in a few steps, and the figure of the man standing by the wall became clearer and clearer.
But just when they were about to be able to touch the girl, the girl who had been facing away from them finally turned around, and the expression on her face made them stunned in place.
This girl standing in the cold light, even in such a dirty and dark path, it is difficult to hide her beautiful appearance that shocks everyone, but there is still a smile on that face, this smile is so cold, all the way to the heart, freezing the internal organs.
She just smiled and looked at the two strong men standing across from her, her voice soft, and her right hand hanging down at her side slowly put the phone back in her pocket.
She said—
"It's so slow to catch up, don't you know that waiting for someone is one of the things I hate the most?"
