There was a surprisingly quiet meeting at this table, and this unexpected meeting, although timely, still caught people off guard.

"Second uncle, sit down, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Lin Ran didn't look at anything, her eyebrows were lowered, revealing a little sarcastic smile. The face that seems to have not experienced the baptism of time and the world looks very good-looking under such a look, and it looks a little unreal, and Mo Zhi is almost a little stupid to look at.

"You don't want to see me so much?" Mo Zhi also sat down and looked at her directly, even with a hint of scrutiny, "Or do you not want to see me on this occasion?" ”

Lin Ran glanced at the man, but didn't say anything, and slowly finished eating the remaining half of the finger biscuit he had just eaten, and then spoke: "Second uncle, can you please not guess me like a business rival?" ”

If Mo Zhi only said the first half of the sentence, Lin Ran would still feel more or less unhappy, after all, she didn't mean it in her heart, but as soon as the second half of the sentence came out, the fire in her heart came up.

The two of them seemed to be silent, and the wall clock on the wall passed minute by minute, the movement was upsetting, and Lin Ran was suddenly overwhelmed by a nameless fire.

In these days, when Mo Zhi spoke to her for the first time, there was no trace of warmth in his words: "Lin Ran, what can't be said on the surface?" You're going to have to draw a path and let me know what you mean. ”

Lin Ran spread his hands: "Second uncle, I didn't think about it, now it's what you want, it's you who want to draw a way, not me." Otherwise, second uncle, you can do whatever you want, I think I am quite adaptable to school life, you see that you are also busy with business, so don't waste time on me. ”

"Ran." Mo Zhi called her, "I told you a long time ago that all your things are big things for me. ”

"Second uncle, this is really useless to me." Lin Ran's tone and expression were normal, but her face was very white, Mo Zhi grabbed her wrist, Lin Ran subconsciously struggled, but the other party did not let go as he thought, but clenched it tighter. The temperature in the palm of her hand reached her skin, which was stable and a little hot.

Lin Ran's tense muscles suddenly relaxed, Mo Zhi stretched out his fingers and slowly spread them along her wrists, and his palms were quietly attached to the back of her hands, like silent comfort. After a long while, with a sigh, Lin Ran said in a low voice, "Why do you have to care so much?" If we don't care, the two of us can go on as usual and achieve our goals. ”

"You want to talk about your theory of taking what you need?" Mo Zhi silently continued to appease Zhan Yan'an, I don't know why, but there was a strange calm, "If we take what we need, there is no balance between the two of us." Xing Song, whatever you want, I can help you do it, whatever you want, I can give it to you, whether I have it or not, as long as I ......," he paused, "There is nothing to do." ”

Mo Zhi stared at her, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a while, he gently let go of the hand holding her and lowered his gaze. His fingers were crossed together, twisting each other hard, and the joints glowed blue and white.

Lin Ran was actually very confused.

She thought, what's so good about me, pretending to be a Buddha, but in fact I am poisonous and affectionate, I can use everyone around me for the purpose, and I am very boring in my spare time, how can anyone like it?

"I ......" Just when she was about to ask the question, the mobile phone that was thrown aside rang, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he saw the caller, he paused and picked up the phone, "It's me." ”

"No, I'm not free," she said, unconsciously raising her eyes to look at Mo Zhi, "or rather, even if I'm free, I don't want to waste my time eating with you." ”

The other party didn't know what he said, which caused Lin Ran to sneer: "If it's a problem related to your son, please don't ask me out alone, and it's at such a time, wait until you notify everyone else to come to me." ”

With that, she hung up the phone with an unkind face.

"Lin Zheng?" Mo Zhi asked quietly.

She took a sip of the already cold drink, and there was still residual anger in her voice: "Yes, but it has come to this point, and you still expect me to help keep the place for Lin Yiye, I can't help but value myself too much." ”

"Do you know why I asked you that question that day?" The man asked suddenly, his face very calm.

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, and really didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to this, but she still shook her head honestly: "Obviously, I still don't fully understand. ”

"Because you only have strong mood swings when you're dealing with things related to your grandparents and your father." Mo Zhi said lightly, "Indeed, when you face Qiao Jingyi and Qiao An'an, you will also have mood swings. But if they weren't trying to hurt you, you wouldn't care what they would do, even if they were using you as a cover, you wouldn't care about them. ”

This is something that even she doesn't realize.

But Lin Ran couldn't deny any of what Mo Zhi said, because what he said was indeed the truth.

"You say that you have weaker feelings than normal people, but this also proves that you have real feelings for whom." No matter what kind of surprised expression appeared on Lin Ran's face, he continued in a calm voice, "That's why I care, why are you trying to hide something when you are in front of me now." ”

"You weren't like that before, Ranran."

"Second uncle, you want to know, why am I covering it up?" After a while, Lin Ran sighed softly, didn't look at Mo Zhi's expression, and asked.

Mo Zhi didn't speak, but his expression told Lin Ran the answer she wanted.

"That's because I'm scared." Lin Ran finally fixed his gaze and looked straight at the street scene outside the window, "Because of your ...... to me, Second Uncle?" Well,Attitude and behavior,Let me not know.,I'm a timid person.,When I don't know why.,The first choice is always to choose the one that will never hurt you.。。 ”

Over the years, she has created an indestructible armor for herself, but no matter how strong the armor is, it will never be able to resist the softest thing - feelings.

Lin Ran knows better than anyone that she is actually soft-hearted, and when it comes to feelings, she has always looked ahead and backwards, and she can't be decisive.

That's why they will use everything to cover up, cover up the weaknesses they have exposed, and even deceive themselves, thinking that they are invulnerable.

But Mo Zhi's words brutally unveiled all her disguises.

"Now Second Uncle, are you satisfied?" She turned her gaze back, "Feeling satisfied?" ”

Mo Zhi didn't expect Lin Ran to really say everything, looking at her, he didn't know what he was going to say: "Ranran, you ......"

"Actually, it's very simple, second uncle, if you haven't said those words before, I should just assume that I don't know anything, which is fair. Other...... The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and I have long been used to it over the years. Lin Ran waved his hand and said indifferently.

Mo Zhi looked at her, this was rare for Lin Ran, talking frankly about his feelings in front of him, and he forced himself to ignore the inexplicable sourness that suddenly surged up in his heart.

"Then let's do it," Lin Ran felt very tired, and stood up with her bag, "I estimate that there are a lot of things in the school recently, and I may have to write papers at school on weekends, so I won't go back to live for the time being." ”

Just as Lin Ran passed by him, Mo Zhi, who was still sitting, grabbed her wrist and said softly: "I didn't mean to ask you to expose your scars. ”

Lin Ran nodded: "I know, then so be it, I'll go back." ”

Mo Zhi let go of his hand and didn't turn his head, just sat here quietly alone, seemingly not caring if Lin Ran had already left.

just opened his mouth and said calmly in his usual volume: "Ranran, what I said has always been true, and naturally it is impossible to take it back." ”
