Chapter 167: Ranran, Are You Afraid of Me?
Suddenly hearing such a question, Lin Ran was caught off guard: "This ......"
If I were to tell the truth, would you just throw me off the platform?
Mo Zhi didn't look at her, just took her wrist and took her to slowly stroll on the observation deck: "To be honest. ”
After a few minutes, he heard the little girl whisper, "Actually, a little." ”
To be precise, it's not fear, it's the natural awe of the sworn enemy!
"Why, huh?" Sensing her nervousness, he lowered his voice and continued to ask.
If it falls in the eyes of others, even in the eyes of the old couple of the Mo family, they will be very surprised, Mo Zhi actually has such a day of soft-spoken and patient talk to people?
Is this still the second master Mo who was too rational and calm when he was a child, and even made his sister suspect that he was an artificial intelligence robot?
But as long as he faces the little girl in his heart, Mo Zhi is a patience that can't be used up no matter what.
"Second uncle, it's really scary when you don't have an expression." Lin Ran thought about it and chose such a reason.
After all, she couldn't say anything about childhood shadows or something.
"As long as you are not foolish and do not admit that you have made a mistake of principle, I will not be angry with you." Although the observation deck brought heating from the house, the wind was still cold at night, so Mo Zhi stopped, put her windbreaker on, and said seriously and solemnly.
He could feel from the beginning that although Lin Ran would reveal the little girl's side in front of him, once something happened, he subconsciously chose to avoid him because he was afraid of him.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, but to dissolve the ice called fear that has been generated in Lin Ran's heart for some reason, it obviously takes a lot of time and patience.
And these were given to her by Mo Zhi willingly.
Rubbing the hair of the girl who was a little stunned, the man's eyes were as bright as a whole starry sky: "Ranran, you don't have to change in a hurry, just adapt slowly, I'm here, I won't leave." ”
"You say, what do you mean by my second uncle?" The next morning, Lin Ran said distressedly to Ji Anran on the other side of the video, "Because of this, I had a strange dream last night. ”
Thinking of the content of those dreams, Lin Ran couldn't help but be a little shy.
How could she dream of that kind of content like a romance drama, and the object is still the second uncle!
It's all Su Mingyi's fault, he said that kind of nonsense before, look at it, it still has an impact now!
On the other side of Yancheng, Su Mingyi, who was concentrating on studying the direction of the stock, suddenly let out an earth-shattering sneeze, and quickly got up and closed the window crack used for ventilation.
"I think, could it be Mo Lao who knocked him." Ji Anran didn't notice her strange appearance, "Mo Lao must be afraid that Second Master Mo is too indifferent to you and scares you so much that he can't review well, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, so he just came to ask you?" ”
Lin Ran took a bite of Aunt Qi's cut apple to hide her shyness just now: "What you said makes a lot of sense." ”
"That's right, he still has to listen to Mo Lao's words." Ji Anran became proud.
Swallowing the apple in his mouth, Lin Ran finished the second half of the sentence: "It's a pity that the person you are talking about cannot be the second uncle." ”
"Huh?" Didn't you say that Second Master Mo was the most filial, didn't he even listen to Old Mo's words?
Lin Ran spread his hands: "It's not like you haven't seen my second uncle, if Grandpa Mo beats him like this, he will only reduce the time he spends with me." ”
If you can't see each other, how can you talk about being too indifferent to her?
Thinking about the few brief face-to-face meetings with Second Master Mo, Ji Anran nodded: "This is indeed the case." ”
Looking at Lin Ran's meditative appearance, she couldn't help it, and still said her first thought: "Actually, you don't have to think about it, since the second master has said this, you can rest assured and be bold and don't be afraid of him?" ”
"I want to too," Lin Ran was depressed when she said this, "but this is the same as the relationship between a mouse and a cat, isn't it a bit difficult for you to let the mouse not be afraid of his rival?" ”
She didn't want to, especially when she had already changed her opinion of Mo Zhi.
Ji Anran: "...... Does the second master know that he is a cat in your heart? ”
"How did you manage to get the point so crooked?"
"Anyway, you try your best, it's possible that you were too careful when facing him, and the second master felt uncomfortable." Seeing her meditating, Ji Anran still said her initial thoughts.
Without waiting for Lin Ran to respond, the video call was forced to be interrupted because a call suddenly came in from her side.
WeChat video is not good at all, and it is always possible to be interrupted by a phone call.
Secretly remembering in his heart that next time he would have to use a tablet video like Ji Anran, Lin Ran picked up the phone: "Mr. Zhou, do you have anything to do?" ”
On the other end of the phone was her elusive uncle, Zhou Huai'an.
"The things you asked me to check have eyebrows." The man is not polite to her, and he is straight to the point.
"Find out who stalked me that night?" Lin Ran was a little surprised.
Uncle Rong, who has been in Yancheng all the year round, hasn't found out yet, why did Zhou Huai'an move so fast?
"I naturally have my own way," Zhou Huai'an heard the girl's surprise, and said lightly, "Those two people are Rong Pengtao's former subordinates." ”
Rong Pengtao, why is it Rong Pengtao again?
But this can also make it clear why the results of Zhou Huai'an's investigation are faster than Uncle Rong's, after all, Rong Pengtao is not from Yancheng, and Uncle Rong's connections are limited to Yancheng, so naturally he didn't check so quickly.
Lin Ran was a little strange: "Then they are following me...... What is it for? ”
It can't be to avenge Rong Pengtao, right?
This is a bit too bloody.
"I only checked their identities, and the two men were detained last week for theft, and after that, they will likely be sentenced to up to three years in prison."
Although Zhou Huai'an said it lightly, it was enough to make Lin Ran vigilant.
Because this whole thing is full of clever words.
Just when they were found out, and then they were going to look down, they were detained?
After all, the detention center is a state organ with its own procedures and disciplines, and even if Zhou Huai'an has his hands and eyes in the sky, it is impossible to go inside to continue the investigation.
Coupled with the subsequent fixed-term imprisonment, it is clear that this clue is cut off here, making it impossible to check.
"But there's one thing, it's a windfall."
Hearing this, Lin Ran, who was originally immersed in thoughts, came back to his senses: "What? ”
"Qiao Jingyi really gave birth to a daughter who dares to think and do as much as he does." He sneered disdainfully, "That sister of yours once tried to contact these two people to find out the news that you and the Qin family were in Yancheng. It's a pity that without Rong Pengtao, no one will take her in their eyes at all. ”
"Qiao An'an......" Lin Ran let out a breath, "She really vows not to give up to achieve her goal......
Hung up the phone and looked at the name of Rong Pengtao that he had just written on the paper, Lin Ran picked up the pen and drew two horizontal lines underneath.
This man is like a ghost, stubbornly appearing in every abnormal thing.
But I don't know when I'll be able to speak.
After thinking about it for a while, he found that he still had no clue, Lin Ran patted his face and decided to forget about this matter for the time being, after all, he couldn't find anything for a while, so he should focus on the exam in front of him first.
There are priorities, even if it is weird and worrying, if it can't be solved for a while, you must put it aside and not let it affect your spirit and mood.
was so disturbed by the phone call, and it was also the time when she usually had to start reviewing, so naturally she couldn't continue to video with Ji Anran.
Lin Ran sent her a WeChat explanation, tied up her hair, cheered up, and devoted herself to the final review.
Once you dedicate yourself to doing something, it's easy to forget the passage of time.
When Lin Ran finished writing the last line and stretched, he realized that it was time for lunch.
I don't know what Aunt Qi will do at noon today.
She thought as she stepped out of the room.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the stairs, he heard some noise in the living room, and Lin Ran was a little strange, so he quickened his pace and hurried downstairs.
