wait for dawn

speak.

Little did she know, the deputy director recognized Naz and was deeply afraid of someone behind Naz.

The mood in the morning was gloomy and frightened, and the fever that was finally subsided last night was showing a tendency to revive.

Lin Lan couldn't bear it any longer, and lost the mood of self-study. She solemnly rejected her friend's offer to escort her home, and she walked back step by step with Naz in her arms.

Her home in the town is not far from the school, and she arrived at home before 7:30, facing Zetian at the door, carrying two bags of takeaway boxes.

Seeing Lin Lan standing at the door with an uneasy expression, Tsunayoshi Sawada was slightly taken aback, frowned, and quickly walked up to her.

Lin Lan was taken aback, not because of the warm palm covering her forehead and the warm coat falling on her shoulders, but because of the extremely fast speed of Tsunakichi Sawada—the speed that cannot be caught by the naked eye, unlike ordinary people's speed .

For a moment, Gao Mo's words flooded into her mind sharply again.

"That man named 'Sawada'... you'd better stay away from him."

"He is very dangerous. I have never seen such a terrifying person. When he did it, it seemed that he had rehearsed it thousands of times, and it was very smooth. He did not hesitate, and there was no trace of compassion or hesitation in his eyes...Obviously , he and I are of the same kind.”

She seemed to feel... something in her mind, broken.

"The heat hasn't completely receded...how did you come out? It's so cold at night..." His coat that he took off covered her body, and was tightly held by his slender hands; his concerned gaze swept over her schoolbag, and the ink in his eyes became darker , "Do you still have classes at night? But...isn't it summer vacation?" I have always known the strictness of Chinese middle school education, but I didn't expect to occupy the spare time of middle school students to such an extent.

"No...it's just self-study...I won't go tonight." Her voice was low and inaudible, with undetectable panic.

"Then go in first, I've already bought dinner..." The unfinished words were cut off in his throat, Zetian Tsunayoshi met the gaze of Lin Lan who had just raised his head, and his mind suddenly went blank.

There is something hidden in her beautiful eyes.

There was a reflection of him, and...

Scrutiny, negligible vigilance.

——When he looked at her, what he was most afraid of seeing in her eyes.

45

45. Goal 42...

He lowered his eyes to hide the turbulent waves in his pupils.

After only a second, he lifted it up again, and the soft and warm smile still carried in the brown pupils, as if it had never changed: "Go in."

"...Okay." Lin Lan calmed down, took out the key, and opened the door.

In any case, Zetian's care for her was real and true.Perhaps, she shouldn't speculate about him maliciously, who doesn't have a dark side?Even if he is really as Gao Mo said...she should believe her own feelings.Although she had only been in contact with Zetian for a few days, so she couldn't talk about knowing her well, but she believed that...he had no ill intentions towards her.

Open the door, the hall is bright.

In the very center of the living room, a young man with black hair and narrow eyes was sitting on the white leather sofa on the left, looking at her with his head half turned.The hands and fingers on the front side overlapped, showing a bit of laziness.

"You still know how to come back." Lin Lan's face darkened, and his tone was not very friendly.

The boy sitting on the sofa was Lin Yuan, who drove her and Zetian into the city yesterday, but left the two of them in the rain and walked away on his own, causing her to catch a cold in the rain.

Afterwards, I don't know if it was because of his guilty conscience, Lin Yuan who drove away did not go home yesterday.

Lin Yuan stared at Lin Lan expressionlessly for a while, and then suddenly returned to his usual carefree appearance, his eyes were bent with a bit of teasing and narrow-mindedness, "Xiao Lanlan~~" The ending sound is sweet, with hidden With a hint of deep meaning, "Angry?" He grabbed the dark purple knitted jacket beside the sofa, got up and approached her.

Lin Yuan took off the men's coat that was draped over Lin Lan's shoulders naturally, and threw it back together with Naz to Tsunayoshi Sawada who was standing quietly by the door, and then carefully put on his own coat for her. The knitted jacket in hand, the zipper is safely lifted to the neck.

"I'm really bothering Mr. Zetian. I don't know how to thank you for taking care of my family Xiaolan so much." He deliberately bit down on the words "trouble" and "thank you", Lin Yuan narrowed his narrow and clear pupils, The smile on the corner of his lips was both distant and cold.

It was obviously satirizing Zetian: Lin Lan didn't have the turn of an outsider he had just met to take care of him.

Tsunayoshi Sawada, who is used to the many insinuations in the dark world, naturally understood Lin Yuan's implication.

Tsunayoshi Sawada caught the jacket that was thrown back, and comforted Natsu who was grinning hoarsely and glaring at Lin Yuan because of being thrown back violently. His brown pupils were cold for a moment, but they remained flat and calm, whether he liked it or not. He stared angrily at Lin Yuan's provocation.

Although Lin Lan didn't understand Lin Yuan's intentions, she sensed the inexplicable sharp hostility emanating from Lin Yuan, and frowned in disapproval: "Lin Yuan!"

Regardless of Lin Lan's stop, Lin Yuan fixed his eyes on Zetian: "It's getting late, and I'm really sorry for delaying Mr. Zetian for so long. Mr. Zetian is going back now, right? But you must pay attention to safety."

It was actually a naked order to expel guests.

……childish.

Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed slightly.

"Lin Yuan!"

Lin Lan was completely annoyed, and pulled Lin Yuan's arm tightly, but he still ignored it.

"You're welcome, I'm leaving." Tsunakichi Sawada nodded politely, wisely choosing to avoid his sharp edge.Before leaving, he handed the takeaway box to Lin Lan, and gently warned: "Lan Sang, pay attention to your health...don't forget to take your medicine on time."

Hearing that Lin Yuan's sneer stiffened into pieces, Mo Tong suddenly shrank.

His face changed drastically, he clasped Lin Lan's right wrist, touched his pulse lightly with his long fingers, his eyes quickly flashed anxiety and annoyance:

"Why did you have a fever...why didn't you tell me?"

The angry Lin Lan didn't want to pay attention to Lin Yuan at all.I don't know why he is crazy, not to mention his bad attitude towards customers, he drove her and Zetian out of the car yesterday, and today he is stinging with needles,

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sawada, please don't take this guy's nonsense seriously, you..."

"No, it's nothing, I don't need to apologize. I found the hotel where I stayed yesterday, and I came to say goodbye today." As if he had practiced it thousands of times, Zetian's words and deeds were both advanced and retreated, and his words were polite Modesty, but not alienated, making people kind and soothing, "Lan Sang, take a good rest, don't disturb me, see you another day."

Lin Lan watched the resolute back leave his sight, the soft flesh at the tip of his heart seemed to be pricked by a sharp needle.

She wanted to ask to stay, but Lin Yuan's rude and hurtful words had already been said, and Zetian's attitude of giving in and making a decision was also clear.

Of course she knew that Zetian had found a hotel to pay the deposit yesterday. After all, it was a criticism to live in a strange girl's house without relatives, but he didn't leave her house yesterday because...she had a high fever, and he nursed her all night.

She lowered her eyes, annoyed and mixed feelings.

"Lin Yuan, what's the matter with you! Do you know what you're doing?!"

"Shut up, Lin Lan! I think you were stunned by that Japanese, and for him..." Lin Yuan's face turned blue and pale, and he stared at Lin Lan's pale and angry cheeks, forcing himself to hold back With hostility, he managed to keep his words calm, "Don't mention him...Xiaolan, tell me, why did you get sick? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Master, did you forget that it was still raining heavily when you threw me out of the car yesterday?" Lin Lan laughed back angrily—she felt that Lin Yuan, who was the chief culprit, still had to question cause and effect righteously, was very It's ridiculous, "'I won't tell you'? Can I contact you? No matter how many calls you make, the phone will be turned off, and no matter how many text messages you send, there will be no reply. If it weren't for Mr. Zetian, maybe when you come back You can see my bones waiting to be cremated."

Lin Yuan's knuckles clasping her wrist trembled violently, and the blood on his face faded away in an instant.

Thick eyelashes droop, casting shadows on the lower lids.

For a long time, the white and trembling lips moved with difficulty:

"sorry."

As early as the moment those words came out of his mouth, Lin Lan regretted it too much.Even if she gets angry again, she shouldn't say those words that hurt others and herself.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that." Lin Lan shook her hot and swollen head, wrapped her arms around Lin Yuan's waist, and muffled her head buried in his chest, "Brother, what's wrong with you? You've been acting abnormal recently Now. Are you... anxious?"

Lin Yuan, who puts all his strength on his defensive thorns, is irritable and sharp. She has only seen Lin Yuan on the day of Xinzi's death in the past.

"..." Lin Yuan didn't make a sound, raised his hand and gently pushed her away, "Don't think too much, I'm just a little upset." He snatched the takeaway box from Lin Lan's hand, opened it smoothly, and put Shang Wen The hot bento was poured into the trash can, "Haven't you eaten yet? I'll go to the kitchen and make it for you."

"Lin Yuan!" Lin Lan didn't have time to stop, she could only watch the takeaway dinner that Zetian gave her was mercilessly thrown into the trash can, feeling uncomfortable, "How could you do this, it's too much Already!"

Lin Yuan ignored her anger, and before entering the kitchen, he said plainly: "Don't make a fuss. Go sit on the sofa—if you don't want to drink bitter medicine."

The 14-year-old girl's eyes wanted to breathe fire, she drooped her head, her anger was still there, but her arrogance was very spineless.

After dinner.

"Okay, don't be so sullen...so angry, are you really obsessed with that gringo?"

"How is it possible, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Lin Lanjue
