Sheng Yan was not afraid of her changing face, she smiled and said to the little girl:

"Appeared near Zhou's castle, apparently thrown out by the people inside—"

"At first I thought you were a servant's child, but after you took out that watch, it didn't look like it. That watch was a classic style from many years ago, with rounded edges and corners. The owner took good care of it and wore it for a long time."

"In addition, you avoided answering your surname, which shows that this surname is not simple and will bring you trouble..."

"To sum up, I happen to be not a fool."

Sheng Yan shrugged and said this to her.

Hearing her words, Zhou Lan's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was slightly agitated.

It's because I exposed too much, and it has nothing to do with this person.

But it is indeed imminent for her to leave the Zhou family.

She paused for a moment, put away the bad breath she was wearing, and said slowly, "You're right."

"However, it is probably impossible to bring me to receive the reward. My father's biological eldest son has already returned to China, so I was kicked out."

She looked at Sheng Yan, stared at it calmly for a while, and then said: "Now that home is in dire straits for me, if I go back, it's tantamount to courting death."

"I know you are kind-hearted and don't want to help me leave the hospital. You are just worried about what happened to me outside. You can't explain it, but if you send me back, you are asking for trouble."

"Old man Zhou's eldest son wishes for me to linger outside, but you send me back to get in his way. Guess what will happen to you?"

Zhou Lan looked at her indifferently, and the details revealed in her words showed that she was not welcome at home.

Sheng Yan was startled for a moment, and suddenly said with a strange expression:

"Eldest son, you mean Zhou Xudong"

Zhou Lan raised her eyebrows, glanced at her up and down, and said, "Why are you waiting to attend his banquet?"

"Then I do want to say sorry to you for messing up your well-dressed event."

Zhou Lan raised her eyebrows, and for the sake of her help yesterday, she even leaned on a cane, and nodded slightly to her in apology.

Sheng Yan never expected that she would pick up this unfavored little girl from Zhou Xudong's family, and there was hardly any introduction about Zhou Xudong's family in the original book.

Sheng Yan thought about the state of this child when he appeared, and also knew that living under such a demon king, it is understandable that this child matured earlier and was more alert.

She shook her head: "It's okay."

She hadn't planned to attend anyway.

In other words, she should actually thank Zhou Lan in turn. If it wasn't for Zhou Lan's appearance that made her focus on the ambulance, maybe she would take the risk and decide to go to the banquet in the end.

Then... the wolf enters the tiger's mouth.

Thinking about it this way, she felt a bit of sympathy for this child.

Seeing that everyone was oppressed by Zhou Xudong, she felt that she might have an ally after she got rid of the scumbag: "You said earlier that you wanted to find a place to live so that it wouldn't cause me any trouble—"

Sheng Yan paused with some hesitation.

Zhou Lan nodded, obviously before, he looked like he didn't believe anyone, but now there was a faint light in his eyes, as if he suddenly ignited a little expectation.

Sheng Yan raised her hand and gently scratched her chin.

She has always had no problem protecting herself under the hands of a scumbag, but now she meets an underage child who needs help. If Zhou Xudong's relationship is not considered, it is no problem for her to share the rent with this child

Otherwise, no matter how you looked at it, it would look like she had succumbed to the evil forces, and then cruelly threw a child on the street.

"Okay, I'll take you there to take a look first, the place is relatively small, you can consider whether you want to live with me after you have seen it."

……

Sheng Yan took Zhou Lan to a taxi and went to the small broken house where she lived outside the school.

That's where she lived when she was working on weekends, because in school, there would always be situations where the dormitory access control time was over, or the roommates who were taking the postgraduate entrance examination would be noisy, and my aunt bought a nearby one to be demolished many years ago. Farmer's houses are rarely rented by anyone on weekdays, so they are simply used as a temporary place for her to stay.

Sheng Yan walked with the child all the way, and suddenly turned around and asked:

"You promise me that Zhou Xudong will not send anyone out to chase you down, or your father will send someone to find you on a sudden whim—"

Zhou Lan looked up at her expressionlessly: "Watch less TV dramas."

Sheng Yan felt relieved: "Yes."

The roads around here are not easy to walk. There are potholes everywhere. If you are not careful, you will easily step into the sewage pit and be splashed with dirty water. If you are not used to this road, ordinary people will go back with a sad face when they come here for the first time.

Sheng Yan turned her head to look at the little girl who was having a little difficulty holding a cane, estimated her skinny figure like a bamboo pole, then stepped back a few steps suddenly, and said to her:

"Or I'll carry you"

Zhou Lan habitually refused: "No need—"

Before she finished speaking, the crutch in her hand was taken away by Sheng Yan, and then the other party naturally half-bent down in front of her, hugged her knees with his backhand, and carried her directly on his back.

Zhou Lan: "..."

She bit her lower lip, unaccustomed to clutching the cloth on Sheng Yan's shoulder.

The other party seemed to be unaffected by the weight of her on his back, avoiding those puddles freely, and even slightly bumped her, and said:

"I've been an adult for too long, have a bad memory? Are you really 16?"

"When I was 16, I was over 1.6 meters tall. Your height and weight don't look like it."

Zhou Lan: "..."

She took a deep breath and said, "It really is."

Weird.

In fact, she is only 14 years old this year.

Speaking of 16, I just don't want others to leave her because of sympathy, so that she can make herself appear more responsible.

Sheng Yan let out an "oh", and felt that she was really pitiful.

This is not the kind of life where you can only live in a closet at home on weekdays, and you don’t eat meat, otherwise how can you get sick and look malnourished?

If we live together in the future, we can make more soup for this child to nourish her.

A thought flashed through Sheng Yan's mind.

……

The place Sheng Yan rented was also on the third floor.

There is no elevator, the old stairs are high and steep, and the handrails can creak when you touch them. The stairs are not even tiled, they are only smoothed with cement. At night, when you step on them, there are a lot of gray paint.

After carrying the child up to the third floor, Sheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, put down her crutches, put her in the place, and then fumbled for the keys from her bag.

Unlock the lock and enter the house in one go.

This is a small house of only [-] to [-] square meters. After the original owner came in, he changed the layout of the house and bought a lot of cheap curtains and sofa covers online. At least it looks very cozy.

She walked in and said, "I only have one bedroom here, and the bed is 1.5 meters. The sofa in the living room can lie on again, but it's too soft——"

"Do you want to buy another 1.5-meter spring bed, or"

Sheng Yan turned her head and glanced at Zhou Lan.

After a pause, she added: "Oh, I mean if you want to live."

Although her aunt's place doesn't charge her money, she still pays her aunt every month according to the average price of the area. This is the stubbornness of the original owner.

Now that she has someone to share with her, it is a good choice to save the mosquito leg meat.

Zhou Lan glanced around.

She liked this room very much when she first saw it.

Unlike the big empty castle where she stayed with her mother before, this place is not cold, and the bright yellow color of SpongeBob SquarePants gives the whole space a warm and bright feeling.

The succulent green plants placed on the window sill add a little vitality to the interior.

Although the table was so small that it seemed that it could only accommodate a computer, the feeling of crowding made her feel lively.

She seems to be unconsciously...

I saw the place I wanted most in my heart.

Zhou Lan drooped her eyelashes and said in a low voice, "Rent."

Sheng Yan smiled, and said to her: "Okay, I can give you half of my wardrobe... Uh, you just live in like this, don't you need to buy some clothes?"

Zhou Lan looked at her and asked seriously, "Where can I buy it?"

Sheng Yan: "..."

She and Zhou Lan looked at each other for a long time, then took out her mobile phone, shook it lightly, and tilted her head:

"Uh, online shopping"

Zhou Lan nodded.

Sheng Yan looked at her for a while, then suddenly said: "You don't even buy a mobile phone, do you?"

Zhou Lan just blinked and didn't speak.

Sheng Yan: "..."

This is really the posture of running away from home.

She said: "Then should I buy it online for you first or... eh, by the way, do you mind using your old phone?"

"My aunt has an old mobile phone, which is [-]% new, and the functions are still normal. She replaced it. I still have a telecommunication card that was given to me at the beginning of school."

Zhou Lan said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Therefore, the first thing Sheng Yan did after she acted bravely was to fiddle with her new roommate's mobile phone and card.

Then I taught her about online shopping and so on, and let her do it by herself.

Sheng Yan went into the room and changed her skirt, took off her makeup, and went out with an umbrella—today's weather forecast said it would rain in the afternoon.

Watching her go out, Zhou Lan was originally sitting on the sofa, then immediately raised her head from the phone and stared at her silently.

Sheng Yan said habitually: "I have to go back to find my roommate. I borrowed the skirt from her a few days ago. I wanted to say that I would return it to them after the banquet yesterday."

Zhou Lan nodded and said nothing.

Sheng Yan went to the entrance to change her shoes, but she didn't know what to think, and she took a few steps back:

"Hey, what do you want for dinner?"

"I have a part-time job tomorrow, and I should come back to live tonight. Takeaways around here generally don't want to come in. I'll bring you dinner."

Zhou Lan thought about it seriously, and said to her, "Just bring a copy of whatever you eat, thank you."

Compared with the sharp look at the beginning, she is now like the cute little sister next door.

Sheng Yan smiled, then changed her shoes and went out.

……

"Boom--"

God changed his face when he said that he would change his face. The thunder of clouds rubbing against each other resounded outside, and the lightning caught in it passed through the window, making the whole room flickering.

Zhou Lan looked left and right, but didn't find where the light switch was for a while. She silently touched a SpongeBob SquarePants pillow, closed her eyes, and sweat was dripping from her ears and temples.

Thin beads of sweat oozed out, and she suddenly heard that shrill scream coming from not far away.

Her tightly closed brows became tighter and tighter, her face began to pale continuously, and even her hands and feet became colder and colder.

Suddenly--

There was a soft "click".

Then came the sound of footsteps.

Accompanied by the sound of a "crack" switch being touched.

Zhou Lan opened her eyes suddenly, and faced Sheng Yan who came in and looked at her. She kept taking deep breaths and realized that something was wrong with her.

Sheng Yan also saw that her expression was wrong, and immediately came over and said to her:

"What’s wrong with you"

"Did something happen just now?"

Zhou Lan wanted to speak, but she could only breathe rapidly. She looked at Sheng Yan, a bit of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and more of it was the accelerating breathing rhythm.

The system is well-informed, and Tong Shengyan said: "She is inhaling too much oxygen, and the carbon dioxide concentration in her body is too low. Find a piece of paper and fold it over her nose and mouth so that she can breathe more carbon dioxide... "

Sheng Yan pulled the newspaper and did as she did, while letting out a sigh of relief.

She thought the child had asthma again.

Thinking of this, she paused while holding the newspaper, and moved to touch the A4 printing paper on the tea table instead. She didn't dare to take anything casually without knowing that the child had asthma.

A hill of paper was gathered between Zhou Lan's nose and mouth.

Sure enough, she slowly calmed down her breathing rhythm.

After about half an hour like this, Sheng Yan looked at her drowsy, as if she was going to sleep soon, and asked in a low voice with some worry: "Did something happen at home just now?"

Zhou Lan struggled and shook her head, apologetic in her eyes.

She seemed to realize that she had broken her promise.

It was agreed that it would not cause any trouble, but just when it was decided to rent, he fell ill again and ran into such a ghostly weather.

Zhou Lan didn't know why she loved this person's rental house so much that she, who was always stubborn and wouldn't bow her head even when her bones were broken, uncharacteristically reached out and tugged at Sheng Yan's sleeve. A little tired and a little weak, he said:

"It's rainy today……"

"I won't in the future."

I won't do it in the future, so don't go back on your word and drive me away.

Sheng Yan opened her eyes slightly, smiled and said to her: "What are you thinking? I finally found a co-tenant to help me pay the rent. I'm too happy to be happy. Don't worry."

While speaking, she raised her hand and gently covered Zhou Lan's eyes.

When warmth covered Zhou Lan's eyes.

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly.

It had been a long time since anyone had been in such close contact with her.

It's just like……

Embrace the daylight in her world again.

Warm and clean.
