.

The park is crowded. Li Ran exhaled a breath of white air lightly, and raised his collar with both hands.

"It seems to have gotten colder these days."

"Because it's spring, the boat is heading north."

"Have you heard? Recently, the people above have shuffled their cards very badly, and it won't be like the accident of Zhuan Xuan not long ago, right? ”

"Don't worry, those old guys on our ship are fine."

"Mommy, Mommy, I want that! That one! ”

"Marshmallows? What's delicious is that, it's not necessarily clean. ”

All kinds of people passed by him, but Li Ran only turned back for the immature female voice.

The little girl was unwilling to pull the corner of her mother's clothes, and her eyes never left the mobile stall selling cotton candy, but she kicked a small pebble under her feet, accidentally lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"Hurry up, you're in the way of others." The woman was obviously a little annoyed by this cry, and brushed her hair uncomfortably in the attention of the passers-by, and stepped forward to grab her daughter's shoulder and pull it, urging, "Obedient!" Who told you not to look at the road yourself? ”

The girl only paused for a moment, then cried even harder, wiping her eyes away from the woman's hand.

"Don't be petty!" The woman seemed to have completely lost her patience, and her voice was extremely sharp.

Pinching the freshly baked marshmallow in one hand, Li Ran shook his head, stepped forward unhurriedly, and quietly separated the mother and daughter.

"Get up first, you'll get your clothes dirty if you sit on the ground." He handed the marshmallow to the girl, then picked her up.

The woman frowned and looked at him for a while, took the girl's hand and took a step away, and said a little dissatisfied: "Don't worry about other people's affairs, I'll educate the children." ”

"Okay." Li Ran smiled and nodded gently.

"Thank you, brother." The woman finally sighed and shook the child's shoulder again. Flash Dance.

"Thank you, brother!" The girl is as good as a stream, and her voice is loud.

"Alright, let's go."

The mother and daughter gradually drifted away. Li Ran stopped and watched quietly for a while, until the smile on his face completely dissipated.

Reinsert the crowd. He calmly squeezed into the elevator and struggled to move backwards to make room for the last old man in a wheelchair.

There's a very small chance he'll bump into the girl right here and face to face. Then, years of hard work will be wasted in an instant, just because of this momentary reunion after a long absence.

When this time comes, what should he say to that girl?

Fortunately, such an ironic plot was not staged. With a subtle disappointment lingering in his heart, Li Ran followed a well-dressed middle-aged man into a well-decorated teahouse, like an ordinary Pangu resident who had just finished a busy day at work and could finally rest comfortably at sunset.

After only two knocks on the door of the private room, hurried footsteps were heard inside. Li Ran took a step back, nodded to the young man who pushed the door open as a greeting, and then walked through the door.

"It's been a long time since you've been here in person." The young man made a "please" gesture, "How does it feel to be back in this place again?" Nostalgia? ”

"Because in a short period of time, I can't find someone who is both capable and trustworthy."

"Yes...... After all, the girl who just lost you, do you want me to hug you for comfort? "There is a bit of hypocrisy in the care of young people.

"No, I don't. It's just that I need to deal with a lot of aftermath in person now, and I feel a little upset. Li Ran replied expressionlessly.

"It's not all upsetting." The young man leaned back in his chair relaxedly, "It seems that I still have a lot to learn from you in terms of how to invest emotionally...... As soon as Lu Xiao died, all the remnants of her made up for it consciously went to your men, which was really cost-effective. ”

"Just that little bit of a disabled person, you can take it if you want." Li Ran's tone was leisurely, and he only poured himself a cup of tea.

"Oops,." The young man looked at him with amusement, "You don't look as sad as I expected. I heard that as soon as you received Diao Heyu's contact, you immediately left everything at hand and set out to support - I thought you would regret that you still couldn't save your girl. ”

"My girl." Li Ran repeated it in a low voice, and then a somewhat complicated smile appeared on his face, and he nodded again after a while, "Maybe I should have thought of it a long time ago." ”

"Definitely. After all, it was you who sent her on this road, and she should have thought of it a long time ago. The young man's eyes flickered, "Women, most of them are like that." You are so good to her, even if it is for you to die, I think Lu Xiao is willing. ”

"Are you going to waste our precious meeting time discussing this kind of issue?"

"Okay, okay, it's me who didn't do it." The young man spread his hands, "In general, we suffered a lot of casualties this time, and we were neither able to catch Min Shu nor control Ling Shucheng...... Alas, in this way, it would have been in vain for so long to put my mind in vain. ”

"Not really." Li Ran took a slow sip of tea.

"Yes, at least we've eliminated one of the people who has been holding us back for a long time." The young man played with the empty teacup in front of him, "As soon as Han Yue dies, it will be much easier to do something to Ling Shucheng, but ......"

"But what?" Li Ran asked knowingly.

"I'm also an afterthought, the new girl next to him...... It seems to be called Yuan Sui, right? Most of the time it's not easy. The young man snorted, "I really thought that Ling Shucheng had inadvertently exposed his preference for women—speaking of which, I thought at the time, maybe I could try to put Lu Xiao next to him." ”

“…… What does this have to do with Lu Xiao? Li Ran stared at the tea in the cup.

"How so?" The young man lowered his head and thought for a while, "If you think about it carefully, Yuan Sui and Lu Xiao don't seem to look alike...... Maybe it's my delusion. ”

"Get down to business." Li Ran glanced at him and deliberately lowered his voice.

"Okay, okay." The young man seemed to be a little thirsty, and he also raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, "Although my son is just a thing that can't be put on the stage except for fighting and killing, but he is really not easy to mess with." Recently, no one in the countermeasures group and the army has dared to jump out and say a word of gossip about how many people he has dismissed or set up in the army. ”

"Where's our people?"

"Some of them are involved in leaks, and they can't be saved, so let's leave it at that. Anyway, these people are just used casually, even if they recruit all the tricks they can, we have a way back. ”

"Really? It's so reassuring. Li Ran cheered perfunctorily.

"Don't worry." The young man covered his mouth and coughed twice, "The whole thing is still under our control. ”

-

Seeing that the round apple gradually became angular under the girl's knife-wielding hand, Ling Shucheng, who was leaning on the head of the bed, couldn't help but cough lightly, and reminded in a flat tone: "If you can't control yourself and want to be distracted, it's best not to hold sharp things for the time being." ”

"Oooh." Yuan Sui agreed one after another as if he had just woken up from a dream, hissed at the apple he had carved, and scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's really too ugly...... I'll just cut it into chunks. ”

Ling Shucheng stared at the blue and black under her for a while, and whispered without a preface: "It's hard work." ”

“…… You're welcome, you should be. Yuan Sui smiled a little reluctantly, and quickly changed the topic, "How are you recovering?" ”

"Give me the knife." Ling Shucheng stretched out a hand.

Yuan Sui hesitated slightly, but honestly handed over the knife that had just finished peeling the fruit, and asked at the same time, "What are you going to do?" ”

Ling Shucheng didn't answer, but quickly raised the knife and made a slender cut on the back of his hand.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Yuan Sui's tone instantly raised an octave, and he asked almost in horror, "What are you doing?" ”

"Watch out." Ling Shu Chengping raised his injured hand, "If it was before, before you absentmindedly peeled the next apple, the wound would have disappeared." ”

Yuan Sui tugged at the corners of his mouth and stared at the wound that was strangely smoking, and it took a while to organize the language: "Doesn't it hurt?" ”

“…… Somewhat. Surprised that the girl couldn't grasp the point at all, Ling Shucheng paused for a moment and explained to himself, "What you see is not 'smoke', it is liquefied water vapor, I feel that the wound should be relatively hot." It is estimated that the weather will be warmer a little longer, and it will not be so obvious. ”

"It's scary to watch." Yuan Sui blinked, "Then, you ...... in the future"

"The doctors' claim is that my ability to heal myself will be limited for a long time." Ling Shucheng's paraphrase was as lacking in tone as ever, as if he was reciting a text, "I have been exposed to too much of the blood of the person who can hinder self-healing. If it were someone else, the clotting mechanism would have been permanently destroyed. Before I completely consumed the 'poisonous blood' that had melted into my body, the recovery rate of the wound would only reach one-tenth of its peak at most...... And it can also be accompanied by a lot of side effects that deplete physical energy. ”

"In other words, if you don't have the ability to heal yourself, you probably won't be able to save this time, right?" Yuan Sui straightened his round face, "You're still embarrassed to rejoice." I'm not the only one who thinks so, Brother Yue...... In short, you sometimes act too carelessly. ”

"Yes." Ling Shucheng's eyes darkened slightly, and his voice was very soft, "I've learned a lesson." ”

The two of them were silent for a while, and Yuan Sui rubbed his eyes again, obviously sleepy, and his voice sounded a little muffled: "In short, I have received a definite order, and I will never dare to let you go on a mission alone in the future...... I'm sure I'm holding you back now, but I also have to take responsibility and I hope you'll cooperate. ”

Ling Shucheng nodded and replied, "I'll teach you a little more." ”

"Well, the most urgent thing right now is that I really need a helper to handle chores." Yuan Sui frowned, "I really admire Brother Yue more and more now...... What he used to be able to handle by himself, even if it was three, I probably wouldn't be able to turn it over. It's okay to say that you have been temporarily off work to recuperate, and you can ...... in the future Alas. ”

"I'm sorry." Ling Shucheng lowered his head.

"Don't, don't, you don't have anything to apologize for." Yuan Sui waved his hand, his gaze swept to the wound that Ling Shucheng had just scratched himself, got up and said, "You wait." In the future, we both have to develop a good habit that we can't ignore any wound, and I'll go get you medicine. ”
