Chapter 83
When Sheng Yan heard her asking this question, she immediately replied with some amusement:
"Of course not, what are you thinking, although I have indeed reached the marriageable age now, I shouldn't be so hungry-"
Hearing what she said, Zhou Lan's back, which was slightly stiff due to tension, finally relaxed a little.
That's right, Sister Xu is not such a person at all.
But discovering this did not make her feel any better. She didn't know if it was insecurity or something, she took a few steps forward and helped Sheng Yan share all the things in her hands, she lowered her eyes , continued in a gentle voice:
"The marriageable age is just a physiological explanation, but the matter of love still depends on one's own mind. Does Miss Xu want to fall in love?"
In the past, she probably wouldn't actively interfere with Xu Bai's affairs like this.
Especially things like emotional life that are close to personal privacy.
According to Zhou Lan's original positioning of her character in Xu Bai's place, she should put on a look of expectation, considerately and gently ask Xu Bai what kind of partner he wants to find, and even actively help her find a partner.
But don't know how.
It was probably because she was used to living in a rental house with Xu Bai, but now that she suddenly heard that she was going to add a new member to her home, Zhou Lan suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Are you not used to it?
She secretly said to herself in her heart.
Sheng Yan didn't notice the child's thoughts at all, so she continued quite calmly: "I really have such an idea about falling in love recently, after all, the money is almost earned, and I really think about how to live the rest of my life, haha. "
Her tone was relaxed, so why not Zhou Lan paused when she helped her carry things, and after a long time, she asked her in a fluttering voice:
"Ah, is it?"
"Then... what kind of type does Miss Xu like?"
When she asked this question, Zhou Lan didn't even realize how harsh her tone was.
She just felt an uncomfortable feeling welling up from the bottom of her heart, but she couldn't find it after searching carefully, so she could only attribute it to her own illusion.
Perhaps it was because of meeting Zhou Xudong before, Sheng Yan was thinking about how to make this man feel sorry for her on the way back, so she didn't get distracted and paid special attention to Zhou Lan, especially when she came back and swept the other party. Appearance, after confirming that the other party has a good life outside.
Hearing Zhou Lan's question, Sheng Yan smiled, raised her hand and patted her on the shoulder, and said helplessly, "What are you asking about?"
"At such a young age, is it possible that you are still interested in the matchmaker industry?"
Zhou Lan: "..."
She wanted to refute Sheng Yan's words, but when the words reached her lips, she paused and changed into another sentence: "I will be eighteen in a few days, not considered young."
Sheng Yan said "Oh", and asked her back with great interest: "So you want to tell me that you will soon reach the age where you can fall in love."
Zhou Lan's eyes flickered, and she replied a little out of breath: "That's not what I meant."
She said: "Sister Xu, you are obviously talking about your business, but why did it involve me? If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."
Sheng Yan laughed silently, raised her eyebrows, and still touched her head habitually, and said to her: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that sometimes you don't need any reason to like someone, that's not solving a problem." , there is a standard answer and blueprint there for reference.”
"Maybe you have some expectations for your future partner, or there may be some strange standards, but people often only know when they meet, in fact, the person they like is completely different from what they imagined. What reference standard do you set yourself?"
Zhou Lan is about the same height as her now, Sheng Yan didn't realize this, but recently she felt more and more uncomfortable touching the child's head and raising her hand, so she just rubbed it and then put it down.
Sure enough, it would be better to pat the shoulder instead, she secretly decided.
"Of course, I really don't have anything to like now," she continued: "But you, if you really like someone someday, remember to tell me, you sister Xu has no other skills, based on my knowledge and experience, It is more than enough to be a love counselor."
Zhou Lan was almost a little shocked when she heard the first half of her, and thought she was such an emotional person outside, but when she heard the last part, the emotion in her eyes slowly turned calm.
She temporarily put Sheng Yan's shopping bag on the coffee table, took the initiative to pour her a glass of water, and said to her:
"I didn't like any of them, but there were a lot of things that sister Xu said earlier. I thought that sister Xu was such an experienced type."
Sheng Yan raised her hand and scratched her head, she actually felt that what she said was quite reasonable.
But she remembered that she should not have any particularly rich emotional experience.
The system that heard her voice: "..."
no you have.
And not just for a while.
So, Sheng Yan shrugged her shoulders for the last time, and replied very flatly: "I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs run away, after all, there are so many friends around me who are in love."
She didn't intend to give the child any emotional enlightenment in advance, and felt that this matter should follow Zhou Lan's own mind, so she changed the subject:
"Okay, let's stop talking about relationship issues here, the two thousand-year-old single dogs, and share with me where you went to get away with it before."
Zhou Lan blinked, and answered her obediently: "I went to Northern Europe. There is a family that has a good relationship with my uncles. This time, for the birthday of the eldest son of that family, I will go there for the uncles."
Sheng Yan said "oh", and said to her: "Be careful when you go out, and remember not to be too curious when encountering things. I remember that it is quite chaotic abroad now."
Zhou Lan nodded obediently, handed the cup of hot and cold water to Sheng Yan's hand, and sat down on the edge of the sofa with her.
Sheng Yan took a sip from the cup, it was her favorite temperature.
The warm water slowly flowed into the stomach along the throat and esophagus, like a turbulent warm current, easily rolled up the comfort of the person, only to see that she narrowed her eyes slightly, cleared her throat, and spoke again:
"By the way, next weekend is your birthday, have you thought about how to celebrate?"
"I originally thought that if you go out for a long time this time, I will save the gift for you then, but now it seems that I can catch up."
Seeing that she remembered the day so clearly, Zhou Lan, who was originally planning to return to China to celebrate her coming-of-age birthday, had a flash of a smile in his eyes, and then smiled with her and pursed his lips, as if he was a little embarrassed , and then said:
"All according to sister Xu, you can arrange it."
Sheng Yan heard her obeying herself so unconditionally, she almost couldn't laugh or cry: "Listen to me, listen to me, the birthday star is you, at least you have to decide what kind of restaurant you want to eat."
Zhou Lan didn't seem to care about her birthday itself, but was happy with Xu Bai's attention. The joyful arc on her lips was even more provocative, and said to her:
"I heard that a new high-end Japanese restaurant has opened in the food street near the main store of Xu sister. The daily meal supply is limited, and there is no menu of the day. It's all up to the chef - that restaurant should be very good. Interesting, I want to try."
When Sheng Yan was listening to her, she took out her mobile phone and was replying to work news.
When she spoke, he looked away from the phone, looked at her with crooked eyebrows and said, "Yes, I know the boss of that shop well, and when I first came here, a few familiar bosses had dinner together. , His craftsmanship is really good, he really learned it seriously in the island country, and studied it for several years before returning to China to open the restaurant."
"Although it is interest and feelings for him, the quality is not bad."
Zhou Lan nodded and smiled more cheerfully: "Since sister Xu is so sure, please ask sister Xu to make an appointment in advance."
She winked at Sheng Yan playfully.
Sheng Yan naturally responded: "Don't worry, I will greet him tomorrow."
"By the way, your roommates, or the good friends you know at school, do you want to invite them together? I remember when you were in the second year of high school, there were a few little boys who saved money for you on your birthday. Buying birthday presents."
Sheng Yan asked one more question.
Being reminded by her like this, Zhou Lan also remembered those days, those male classmates who were rescued by her from campus bullying, at the party after graduation, I don’t know which one drank too much and played the big adventure game, One of them lost, and all they had to do was send Zhou Lan an invitation to join the group.
It was a small world where several students chatted on weekdays. They all met through Zhou Lan, so naturally it was impossible to isolate her from it.
But usually no one has the courage to pull her into the group, and no one dares to make this suggestion, for fear that seeing her rejected will only increase the embarrassment.
They wished to call her the boss for a long time on weekdays, but they seldom saw her respond. After all, they were still young and thin-skinned, and they didn't dare to think that Zhou Lan would just put their relationship aside like this. How would they continue in normal times? got along.
As a result, several half-year-old boys held back for a long time, and no one dared to be the first to do such a thing in a fever.
In the end, they took advantage of the drinks at the graduation party, taking advantage of drinking too much, and everyone joked with each other to bring this up——
Zhou Lan is naturally not a person to participate in the game.
It should be said that she has never been the type who likes to gather people to play games, and her face seems to always be filled with the words "don't bother me if you don't have long eyes".
As a result, that day, the little fat man who drank the most among the group of people, with a blushing face, came to her not far away with his mobile phone, laughed twice, his eyes were scorched, and he insisted on sticking his tongue out. Asked a sentence:
"Boss, boss, join the group?"
Zhou Lan: "..."
At that time, Zhou Lan felt that his gaze might wake up the drunk little fat man.
But after looking at it for a long time, she asked lightly, "What group?"
The little fat man didn't hear clearly at all, and asked vaguely with his tongue out, "What...what?"
Fortunately, the few people next to him who made this request were sober, so they hurriedly repeated a sentence for him: "Just a few of us who usually chat and fart, haha boss, if you don't want to, forget it, we just want to graduate soon Well, I may not be able to see you everywhere in the future, I’m okay, I’m applying for a local university, but Fatty and Beard will go out of town in the future, it may be difficult to get together.”
Zhou Lan is still very calm.
It seems to be completely different from the noisy, reluctant, and lively atmosphere around.
It seemed that this life experience was nothing more than an ordinary thing in her life, she had no joys or sorrows, nothing special to miss, and nothing special to part with.
Among the people attending the party, she looked the most out of place, as indifferent as a bystander.
So much so that she was obviously the most promising in terms of grades, but few people came to talk to her, and even the teachers just congratulated her politely by virtue of the number of people.
Fatty and the others were wondering if she would come to today's banquet, but they were extremely surprised when they saw her, and couldn't help asking her a question.
What she got was a somewhat helpless sentence:
"Sister Xu insists on me coming."
A few people understood in an instant.
They couldn't think of anyone in the world besides "Sister Xu" who could force their boss to attend such a meaningless and time-wasting party for her.
The scene was very silent for a while.
In other words, in the sober world of the tall, thin man who spoke, it felt like Zhou Lan was silent for a while after saying this.
The tall and thin man was about to say hello and get around this matter, but Zhou Lan nodded calmly and said:
"can."
Xiaopang was the only one in the audience who was not in the situation. After all, he was the worst drunk person. He didn't hear the explanation of the thin and tall man clearly before, so he just stood beside him in a daze, staring at Zhou Lan, wondering what he was thinking.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Zhou Lan's agreement, and immediately clapped my hands and jumped, spilling all the wine in the glass in hand, and said cheerfully:
"She agreed."
"I won!"
The boy with the alias "Beard" didn't see his drunken appearance, so he hurried up to push him away, and said in a speechless voice: "OK, OK, you won, go and rest, hey, you fat man!" Is it heavy again? Your father can't move you no matter what."
The thin and tall man was also stunned for a while, then quickly took out his mobile phone, opened the group, and sent an invitation to Zhou Lan himself.
After seeing Zhou Lan in the group, he suddenly laughed too, and had fun with his mobile phone. After a while, he said to Zhou Lan, wait a minute, and then saw him go to the side and pour himself a glass of beer.
After walking over, he said to Zhou Lan:
"Boss, maybe what happened back then was a matter of little effort for you, we all know that you... are extraordinary, very powerful, better than all of us here."
"But what happened at that time had a great impact on us. No matter what you say, whether you accept it or not, I will respect you for today's glass of wine."
"Maybe you don't even remember our names, but it doesn't matter, I am grateful to you, all my life, because you saved us from the nightmare."
He raised his head and drank the beer in the glass in one gulp. When he drank, there was even excess wine that overflowed from the glass and fell on his face because of his too fast movements and the angle of inclination. , fell into the collar along the chin, neck, and Adam's apple.
Zhou Lan is a person who doesn't like alcohol very much.
Although she is a good drinker.
But unless necessary, she has always been insensitive to things that can numb her nerves.
So she has never understood the behavior of using wine as a substitute for love.
Only that day, at the teacher appreciation banquet, I remembered the sentence that Xu Baiqiang dropped before pushing himself out, "Go and have a look, a gathering that you think is so normal now, maybe one day in the future, it will become a place that you miss. time." Before the tall and thin man thanked her for drinking, she didn't have any deep feelings for Xu Bai's words.
She was just like a bystander, watching the people around her boredly. After all, the life she experienced was much more exciting, more exciting, and more heart-pounding than this small banquet.
However, after hearing what the tall and thin man said, watching him drink up the glass of wine, his eyes were red from choking, but he was about to smile at her, Zhou Lan suddenly felt that unique feeling .
She doesn't need gratitude.
But she should always remember the sincerity and purity of this person when he was grateful to her.
"money."
She spoke suddenly.
The boy who was choking on the alcohol and coughing was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said to her: "Hey what's the matter?"
Zhou Lan just glanced at him calmly, then looked at the fat man and beard who were being helped aside to sleep, and said two more names:
"Liu Yanghe, Hu Zaijun."
It took a while for the tall, thin man named Qian to realize that she was reporting their names.
Tell them the truth, she remembers their names.
After Zhou Lan finished counting their names, she thought about it and said calmly:
"I've always had a good memory, especially when it comes to remembering names."
So, don't worry too much that I won't remember your names after many years.
Zhou Lan thought that she could even remember the name of the first person who died under her hands, including the look in that person's eyes before he died.
But if I tell these children the reason why I remember my name, it will probably scare them to death.
So she omitted the following words.
Sure enough, Qian, who knew nothing, was extremely happy, and patted her chest again:
"I'm going to put my words here today. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, no matter how far away, as long as you give the order, the boss, we will definitely fly to help you get stronger!"
Zhou Lan pulled the corner of her lips gently, and couldn't bear to tell him the truth:
As far as the fighting power of these few is concerned, in the future on their own battlefield, they may not be qualified to be used as backers.
She just smiled, with a gesture of tacit approval.
……
After recovering from that memory, Zhou Lan smiled and replied: "It's okay, no need, they won't come back that day, tell me and come back to celebrate for me a week later."
Sheng Yan immediately understood who she was referring to.
He smiled and followed, "Little Fatty, are they?"
Zhou Lan nodded.
It's very strange, it's obviously not the type that she likes, nor is it the type that has any special meaning to her, but she just let these few inconsequential guys bounce around in her own world until now.
He even made an appointment to meet her every year during the winter and summer vacations.
Sometimes this kind of human touch made her wonder if she would not adapt to those cold and ruthless rhythms when she was on a special mission again, but fortunately, nothing that worried her happened.
In contrast, Zhou Lan seems to be used to switching between various states.
Indifferent and ruthless when facing the Zhou family, obedient and well-behaved when facing Xu Bai, cold but not unreasonable when facing Qian and the others...
There are many, many masks, but she is like a born magician, who is familiar with every face and can use it at her fingertips.
Sheng Yan didn't know that she was immersed in her emotions, so she only asked curiously:
"Didn't you know any friends in college?"
Although she could vaguely realize that Zhou Lan's study in college was more like a formality, she seemed to have many other things to be busy, so that sometimes Sheng Yan didn't see her for a long time, and she would be worried about the child when she saw her. Have you grown up and made yourself unable to understand.
However, every time the other party smiles at her softly as always, talks to her in a soft voice, and still looks as cute as before when listening to her talk, Sheng Yan will secretly think that she is thinking too much.
The child is still the child when I picked it up.
Nothing has changed.
Zhou Lan heard her question, pulled back her thoughts, shook her head, and answered her with a smile: "It's enough, it's not necessary."
She is like a delicate machine, planning every step of her life perfectly, even the number of her friends seems to have a quota set, and she will immediately move on to the next one after reaching the target.
Hearing what she said, Sheng Yan didn't realize anything more, so she put down the hot water cup helplessly, touched the remote control next to her, and sighed with a smile:
"You... If it's not suitable, it's not suitable. There's no need to be so arrogant. If your roommates or classmates hear it, they won't be happy."
"What a good little girl, why is your tone so crazy."
Zhou Lan smiled at her, like a small snow-white daisy swaying gently in the sun, her clean and innocent appearance was very different from the content of her words:
"Sister Xu has always known about my bad virtue."
"They won't know, I will only tell Sister Xu what I really think."
She was still talking, and when Sheng Yan changed the channel, she leaned over and hugged her arm, shook it gently, and asked Sheng Yan: "Does sister Xu prefer well-behaved children? Then I Be more humble from now on."
Sheng Yan snorted and gave her a sideways glance. The arc of her eyes and the half-smile in her eyes made Zhou Lan's heart skip a beat for some reason.
She only heard her reply affectionately: "Stop doing this."
"I like you or not, don't you know?"
After living for the past few years, Zhou Lan has been raised by her as a child, so when Sheng Yan said this, she didn't think about it at all, it was entirely out of family affection.
But for some reason...
Zhou Lan was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and it took him a long time to stay the same, and he leaned over and replied with a smile:
"There are countless, sister Xu likes me the most."
Sheng Yan snorted again, and pushed her head away, not letting her block her from watching the TV screen.
After dinner, around nine o'clock, Sheng Yan got up from the sofa, walked into the room, packed her bathrobe, and went to the bathroom.
After getting along with her for a long time, Zhou Lan, who was in a good mood while she was taking a bath, went to the kitchen to peel a fruit plate and came out. Seeing the coat she had left on the sofa, her thoughts on doing housework came up again, and she carried her coat to go to the kitchen. Go to the bathroom door and knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" There was a reverberation with the sound of water.
Zhou Lan asked, "Sister Xu, do you want to wash your coat today? I'll throw it into the washing machine for you."
"Okay, remember to check if there are any tissues in your pocket, it will be troublesome to wash out a pile of crumbs."
Zhou Lan said yes, and happily carried her coat to the washing machine. Before throwing it down, she checked her pockets and found a few slips and a small hard-shelled piece of paper.
She glanced habitually——
When she saw the name and surname written on the piece of paper, she froze.
The blood all over his body seemed to flow backwards from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The author has something to say: Hey, today's plot was guessed by yesterday's comment section!The hostess was clearly arranged by you!
"Of course not, what are you thinking, although I have indeed reached the marriageable age now, I shouldn't be so hungry-"
Hearing what she said, Zhou Lan's back, which was slightly stiff due to tension, finally relaxed a little.
That's right, Sister Xu is not such a person at all.
But discovering this did not make her feel any better. She didn't know if it was insecurity or something, she took a few steps forward and helped Sheng Yan share all the things in her hands, she lowered her eyes , continued in a gentle voice:

But don't know how.
It was probably because she was used to living in a rental house with Xu Bai, but now that she suddenly heard that she was going to add a new member to her home, Zhou Lan suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Are you not used to it?
She secretly said to herself in her heart.
Sheng Yan didn't notice the child's thoughts at all, so she continued quite calmly: "I really have such an idea about falling in love recently, after all, the money is almost earned, and I really think about how to live the rest of my life, haha. "
Her tone was relaxed, so why not Zhou Lan paused when she helped her carry things, and after a long time, she asked her in a fluttering voice:

"Then... what kind of type does Miss Xu like?"

Zhou Lan is still very calm.
It seems to be completely different from the noisy, reluctant, and lively atmosphere around.
It seemed that this life experience was nothing more than an ordinary thing in her life, she had no joys or sorrows, nothing special to miss, and nothing special to part with.
Among the people attending the party, she looked the most out of place, as indifferent as a bystander.
So much so that she was obviously the most promising in terms of grades, but few people came to talk to her, and even the teachers just congratulated her politely by virtue of the number of people.
Fatty and the others were wondering if she would come to today's banquet, but they were extremely surprised when they saw her, and couldn't help asking her a question.
What she got was a somewhat helpless sentence:
"Sister Xu insists on me coming."
A few people understood in an instant.
They couldn't think of anyone in the world besides "Sister Xu" who could force their boss to attend such a meaningless and time-wasting party for her.
The scene was very silent for a while.
In other words, in the sober world of the tall, thin man who spoke, it felt like Zhou Lan was silent for a while after saying this.
The tall and thin man was about to say hello and get around this matter, but Zhou Lan nodded calmly and said:
"can."
Xiaopang was the only one in the audience who was not in the situation. After all, he was the worst drunk person. He didn't hear the explanation of the thin and tall man clearly before, so he just stood beside him in a daze, staring at Zhou Lan, wondering what he was thinking.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Zhou Lan's agreement, and immediately clapped my hands and jumped, spilling all the wine in the glass in hand, and said cheerfully:
"She agreed."
"I won!"
The boy with the alias "Beard" didn't see his drunken appearance, so he hurried up to push him away, and said in a speechless voice: "OK, OK, you won, go and rest, hey, you fat man!" Is it heavy again? Your father can't move you no matter what."
The thin and tall man was also stunned for a while, then quickly took out his mobile phone, opened the group, and sent an invitation to Zhou Lan himself.
After seeing Zhou Lan in the group, he suddenly laughed too, and had fun with his mobile phone. After a while, he said to Zhou Lan, wait a minute, and then saw him go to the side and pour himself a glass of beer.
After walking over, he said to Zhou Lan:
"Boss, maybe what happened back then was a matter of little effort for you, we all know that you... are extraordinary, very powerful, better than all of us here."
"But what happened at that time had a great impact on us. No matter what you say, whether you accept it or not, I will respect you for today's glass of wine."
"Maybe you don't even remember our names, but it doesn't matter, I am grateful to you, all my life, because you saved us from the nightmare."
He raised his head and drank the beer in the glass in one gulp. When he drank, there was even excess wine that overflowed from the glass and fell on his face because of his too fast movements and the angle of inclination. , fell into the collar along the chin, neck, and Adam's apple.
Zhou Lan is a person who doesn't like alcohol very much.
Although she is a good drinker.
But unless necessary, she has always been insensitive to things that can numb her nerves.
So she has never understood the behavior of using wine as a substitute for love.
Only that day, at the teacher appreciation banquet, I remembered the sentence that Xu Baiqiang dropped before pushing himself out, "Go and have a look, a gathering that you think is so normal now, maybe one day in the future, it will become a place that you miss. time." Before the tall and thin man thanked her for drinking, she didn't have any deep feelings for Xu Bai's words.
She was just like a bystander, watching the people around her boredly. After all, the life she experienced was much more exciting, more exciting, and more heart-pounding than this small banquet.
However, after hearing what the tall and thin man said, watching him drink up the glass of wine, his eyes were red from choking, but he was about to smile at her, Zhou Lan suddenly felt that unique feeling .
She doesn't need gratitude.
But she should always remember the sincerity and purity of this person when he was grateful to her.
"money."
She spoke suddenly.
The boy who was choking on the alcohol and coughing was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said to her: "Hey what's the matter?"
Zhou Lan just glanced at him calmly, then looked at the fat man and beard who were being helped aside to sleep, and said two more names:
"Liu Yanghe, Hu Zaijun."
It took a while for the tall, thin man named Qian to realize that she was reporting their names.
Tell them the truth, she remembers their names.
After Zhou Lan finished counting their names, she thought about it and said calmly:
"I've always had a good memory, especially when it comes to remembering names."
So, don't worry too much that I won't remember your names after many years.
Zhou Lan thought that she could even remember the name of the first person who died under her hands, including the look in that person's eyes before he died.
But if I tell these children the reason why I remember my name, it will probably scare them to death.
So she omitted the following words.
Sure enough, Qian, who knew nothing, was extremely happy, and patted her chest again:
"I'm going to put my words here today. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, no matter how far away, as long as you give the order, the boss, we will definitely fly to help you get stronger!"
Zhou Lan pulled the corner of her lips gently, and couldn't bear to tell him the truth:
As far as the fighting power of these few is concerned, in the future on their own battlefield, they may not be qualified to be used as backers.
She just smiled, with a gesture of tacit approval.
……
After recovering from that memory, Zhou Lan smiled and replied: "It's okay, no need, they won't come back that day, tell me and come back to celebrate for me a week later."
Sheng Yan immediately understood who she was referring to.
He smiled and followed, "Little Fatty, are they?"
Zhou Lan nodded.
It's very strange, it's obviously not the type that she likes, nor is it the type that has any special meaning to her, but she just let these few inconsequential guys bounce around in her own world until now.
He even made an appointment to meet her every year during the winter and summer vacations.
Sometimes this kind of human touch made her wonder if she would not adapt to those cold and ruthless rhythms when she was on a special mission again, but fortunately, nothing that worried her happened.
In contrast, Zhou Lan seems to be used to switching between various states.
Indifferent and ruthless when facing the Zhou family, obedient and well-behaved when facing Xu Bai, cold but not unreasonable when facing Qian and the others...
There are many, many masks, but she is like a born magician, who is familiar with every face and can use it at her fingertips.
Sheng Yan didn't know that she was immersed in her emotions, so she only asked curiously:
"Didn't you know any friends in college?"
Although she could vaguely realize that Zhou Lan's study in college was more like a formality, she seemed to have many other things to be busy, so that sometimes Sheng Yan didn't see her for a long time, and she would be worried about the child when she saw her. Have you grown up and made yourself unable to understand.
However, every time the other party smiles at her softly as always, talks to her in a soft voice, and still looks as cute as before when listening to her talk, Sheng Yan will secretly think that she is thinking too much.
The child is still the child when I picked it up.
Nothing has changed.
Zhou Lan heard her question, pulled back her thoughts, shook her head, and answered her with a smile: "It's enough, it's not necessary."
She is like a delicate machine, planning every step of her life perfectly, even the number of her friends seems to have a quota set, and she will immediately move on to the next one after reaching the target.
Hearing what she said, Sheng Yan didn't realize anything more, so she put down the hot water cup helplessly, touched the remote control next to her, and sighed with a smile:
"You... If it's not suitable, it's not suitable. There's no need to be so arrogant. If your roommates or classmates hear it, they won't be happy."
"What a good little girl, why is your tone so crazy."
Zhou Lan smiled at her, like a small snow-white daisy swaying gently in the sun, her clean and innocent appearance was very different from the content of her words:
"Sister Xu has always known about my bad virtue."
"They won't know, I will only tell Sister Xu what I really think."
She was still talking, and when Sheng Yan changed the channel, she leaned over and hugged her arm, shook it gently, and asked Sheng Yan: "Does sister Xu prefer well-behaved children? Then I Be more humble from now on."
Sheng Yan snorted and gave her a sideways glance. The arc of her eyes and the half-smile in her eyes made Zhou Lan's heart skip a beat for some reason.
She only heard her reply affectionately: "Stop doing this."
"I like you or not, don't you know?"
After living for the past few years, Zhou Lan has been raised by her as a child, so when Sheng Yan said this, she didn't think about it at all, it was entirely out of family affection.
But for some reason...
Zhou Lan was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and it took him a long time to stay the same, and he leaned over and replied with a smile:
"There are countless, sister Xu likes me the most."
Sheng Yan snorted again, and pushed her head away, not letting her block her from watching the TV screen.
After dinner, around nine o'clock, Sheng Yan got up from the sofa, walked into the room, packed her bathrobe, and went to the bathroom.
After getting along with her for a long time, Zhou Lan, who was in a good mood while she was taking a bath, went to the kitchen to peel a fruit plate and came out. Seeing the coat she had left on the sofa, her thoughts on doing housework came up again, and she carried her coat to go to the kitchen. Go to the bathroom door and knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" There was a reverberation with the sound of water.
Zhou Lan asked, "Sister Xu, do you want to wash your coat today? I'll throw it into the washing machine for you."
"Okay, remember to check if there are any tissues in your pocket, it will be troublesome to wash out a pile of crumbs."
Zhou Lan said yes, and happily carried her coat to the washing machine. Before throwing it down, she checked her pockets and found a few slips and a small hard-shelled piece of paper.
She glanced habitually——
When she saw the name and surname written on the piece of paper, she froze.
The blood all over his body seemed to flow backwards from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The author has something to say: Hey, today's plot was guessed by yesterday's comment section!The hostess was clearly arranged by you!
