Heart distance

When Lu Tinglan was asked again, she avoided Ling Ran's aggressive gaze, "This has nothing to do with you."

"Why, the dignified Boss Lu, can't hold his breath and feel guilty so soon?" Ling Ran moved his knuckles slightly, "Did you forget what you said at the beginning?"

Ling Ran patted the table, "Say, you don't know him."

"Ling Ran, this is my private matter. Don't forget the agreement we signed not to interfere with the other party's personal life." Lu Tinglan said in a stern voice.

Ling Ran brushed his waist-length curly hair and snorted lightly, "Boss Lu, you think too highly of yourself. To be honest, it's not your turn to meddle in other people's business. I just asked for that kid."

"So, according to the contract, what I like to do is my freedom, and you have no right to interfere."

Lu Tinglan leaned on the chair, crossed his hands, touched his chin lightly, took a deep breath, "Boss Ling..."

Ling Ran raised his wrist to look at his watch, and interrupted him, "Sorry, I'm going to pick up Xiaoduo from school, I'm not interested in wasting time with you, see you later."

"Oh, that's right." Ling Ran just walked to the door of the meeting room. "Next weekend, I arranged for a reporter to play around. My assistant will contact your assistant after the address and time are fixed. Don't make me wait."

Ling Ran ignored Lu Tinglan and walked out of the meeting room with his handbag.

The sound of high heels that were fading away could not calm Lu Tinglan's invisibility anxiety. He closed his eyes and kneaded his temples, trying to help himself relax.

Lu Tinglan agreed to the marriage plan. Apart from gaining greater experience benefits, he and Ling Ran have the same goal in a certain matter. Such a partner is the best for Lu Tinglan.

Initially, in Situ Jing's plan, two people were required to live together temporarily.But Ling Ran obviously cared more than him, so he let it go.Fortunately, both of them are known to be crazy in the business world. Even if outsiders see them as a business marriage without emotion, it does not affect the prosperity of each other's company shares.

A week later, the assistant informed Lu Tinglan and Ling Ran of their date one day in advance.

This restaurant is more than two hours' drive from the city center, and it is an extremely remote high-end niche themed restaurant.

According to the agreement, Lu Tinglan arrived at the agreed place half an hour earlier.

Lu Tinglan sat at the table, flipping through the bidding contracts drawn up at the daytime meeting.During the interval, he glanced at the time, and there were about 15 minutes left.

He loosened his tie, took out his old mobile phone from his pocket, and opened the chat history.

Recently, Han Ziqi insisted on sending him WeChat messages every day, saying good morning in the morning and good night before going to bed.

However, Lu Tinglan still didn't return.

It's not that you can't, it's that you dare not.

He is afraid of replying once, and it will be out of control.

But more than ten hours have passed today, and Han Ziqi hasn't sent him any more messages.

Lu Tinglan loosened his tie again, upset.

The sound of high-heeled shoes came from far and near outside the door, and Lu Tinglan took the opportunity to withdraw his phone.

"Sorry, the traffic jam on the way here has kept you waiting."

Lu Tinglan raised his eyes, and his eyes just met Ling Ran who was pushing the door.

His eyes turned slightly to the left, and finally he focused all his attention on the thin young man behind Ling Ran.

Unexpectedly, uneasy.

The ones who came with Ling Ran included Lin Duo and Han Ziqi who hadn't sent him a WeChat message all day.

As if playing an old stuck silent movie, the two of them froze in place, and the picture was forced to stop at this frame for a long time.

Han Ziqi felt guilty and didn't dare to look into Lu Tinglan's eyes, so he could only look down at the ground.

"Yo, what are you doing in a daze, sit down quickly." Ling Ran greeted the other two, "Boss Lu, you don't mind if I call my girlfriend and her little classmates together."

"It's up to you." Lu Tinglan still looked indifferent and indifferent.

"Brother Tinglan, hello." Lin Duo waved at him.

Han Ziqi didn't know how to respond, so he could only pretend to be a cloud of air, and came diagonally opposite the square table farthest from Lu Tinglan.

"Go, go, this is Xiaoduo's seat, you sit over there." Ling Ran didn't show any mercy to Han Ziqi, and pushed him directly to the seat next to Lu Tinglan.

Han Ziqi was completely passive, but he didn't have any right to choose.He sneaked a glance at Lu Tinglan, and saw that the other party didn't respond, so he opened the stool and sat down, keeping a distance of about half a meter between the two of them.

The service staff handed each person the menu in turn.

Ling Ran opened the menu, "You two can order whatever you like. Boss Lu is treating you today, so you're welcome."

The others ordered almost the same dishes, and Han Ziqi was the only one left.

Ling Ran urged: "Boy, are you alright?"

"I want king crab."

What Han Ziqi left behind easily caused the breath of the man beside him to tremble, even if it was only for a tenth of a second.

"Boy, you know how to order. I heard that the crabs in this restaurant are extremely delicious." Ling Ran turned to the waiter and said, "Give one to each of us."

After the crabs were served, Han Ziqi took out one and peeled it.He was really not good at peeling this kind of thing at first, but until now, he still didn't want to learn it.

"Tear—!" Han Ziqi was punctured by the crab's leg, frowned, and put his fingertips in his mouth.

Lin Duo, who was sitting directly in front of him, said with concern: "Ziqi, if you don't know how to peel that one, don't force it. I can help you when I peel it off for my sister."

"Also, look at the burn blisters on your hands, it seems to be serious, and you've been flooded again in the past few days."

"It's okay, I can do it myself." Han Ziqi declined.

The blisters were left from the previous cooking, because the medicine was not applied in time, and the technology was not up to standard, the old wounds were not healed, and new wounds appeared one after another.

Han Ziqi did not take it seriously.

He held his mouth for a while, looking at the wound that was no longer oozing blood, and was about to pick up the crab and continue peeling, but was snatched away at the same time with a hand attached to the crab.

Instead, there is a finished product, with crab roe and crab meat neatly peeled and separated.

Han Ziqi pursed his lips and said softly, "Thank you."

"Yo, I didn't expect our Boss Lu to be so caring about people, he even peeled the crabs with golden hands." Ling Ran watched the show with his chin propped up, "Our Xiaoduo is too miserable. Help me peel."

Lin Duo picked up a peeled crab leg and stuffed it into Ling Ran's mouth, "Alright sister, I don't need you to peel it. If you want to eat it, I'll peel it for you anytime."

"Mr. Ling, you like chatting so much, why not change the dating project into a tea party next time." Lu Tinglan sarcastically.

"Forget it, the only motivation for me to be at the same table with you is this delicious food. If this is gone, I swear, I won't be able to last for a minute."

The smell of gunpowder between the two was still strong, Lin Duo was busy persuading: "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

After the meal was almost finished, Lin Duo put down his chopsticks, raised his head and said to him, "Ziqi, there is a free cotton candy delivery at the entrance of the restaurant, can you go with me?"

Han Ziqi heard Lin Duo's implication, nodded and got up.

The two walked out of the restaurant side by side, and Han Ziqi said, "Is it really okay to put them together alone?"

Han Ziqi even wondered if the two presidents worth over [-] million would fight like elementary school students.

Lin Duo smiled and shook his head, "No, the two of them have a clear separation between work and personal affairs. After all, I came here for dinner today to film the news of their date for the reporter. It's not convenient for us to sit there."

"But...you won't be unhappy if I push you away?" Lin Duo said in a gentle voice, "But don't worry, my sister won't like Brother Tinglan."

"Although it's a bit narcissistic to say so, I will always be the only one in my sister's heart." Lin Duo's eyes were filled with unreserved happiness.

"Well, I can see that Sister Ran cares about you very much." Han Ziqi was curious, "However, how did you and Sister Ran meet?"

"The two of us grew up together." Lin Duo said as he walked, "I admired her when I was young, and I liked to follow her everywhere. You know, she has a bad temper, but she only treats me well. I am complacent about it." many years."

"As my sister grew older, more and more men around her pursued her. It wasn't until I was 16 that I realized that I didn't simply admire him, but fell in love with him."

Han Ziqi listened quietly.

"Sister Ran has paid a lot for me, but when I think that she will marry someone else in the future, I can no longer control myself. When I was alone, I blocked her in my bedroom and confessed to her boldly. "

Having said that, Lin Duo blushed, lowered her head and covered it, "I was really impulsive at that time, but I don't regret it at all. When you like someone, you have to take the initiative to hold her in the palm of your hand as much as possible. I understand I have felt the taste of loss, so I don’t want to try again.”

Han Ziqi's back was slightly stiff, he pursed his lips, and suddenly realized that he was not as good as the slender girl in front of him.

"However, I was still scolded by my sister." Lin Duo couldn't help laughing.

"why?"

"She said that I stole her words and did what she always wanted to do but didn't dare to do." Lin Duo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My sister is sometimes naive like a child, because of this, she got angry and ignored me for a week .”

Lin Duo's eyes were filled with happiness, "Can you think of it? We were officially dating for a week, but she refused to talk to me because I was the first to confess my love."

"You two have a really good relationship." Han Ziqi felt bitter.

Lin Duo turned to look at him, and encouraged him: "You are also very good, I can see that brother Tinglan likes you, please give him some time."

Han Ziqi shook his head, "It's because of me. I don't have your courage. I'm cowardly and cowardly in this kind of thing."

Seeing that Han Ziqi was in a bad mood, Lin Duo changed the subject, "Okay, let's not talk about this."

The two walked to the window where the cotton candy was given away for free, and Lin Duo chose a bunny-shaped one, "Do you want one? But, you boys should think it's childish."

Han Ziqi took off a dinosaur outline, "No, my brother likes it very much."

"Really? Then your brother is so cute." Lin Duo blinked.

"Well, it's very cute." Han Ziqi was thoughtful.

Lin Duo confirmed the time, "Okay, go back quickly, it will be too late."

"So fast?" Less than 10 minutes passed.

"No, this is already the limit. If it's later, my sister may overturn the table." Lin Duo trotted back with Han Ziqi holding the marshmallow.

When the two came to the table, they saw Ling Ran standing by the table, aiming at Lu Tinglan with the tip of a fork.

The man, An Sheng, was sitting by the side, but he lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, obviously already very irritable.

Lin Duo quickly took back the fork in Ling Ran's hand, and comforted him: "Sister, let's go home quickly, I'm tired."

Seeing Lin Duo coming back, Ling Ran's expression softened instantly, "Okay, let's go home."

Ling Ran put his arms around Lin Duo's shoulders, and just after taking two steps, he stopped and turned to Han Ziqi and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, boy, I won't see you off tonight, you can figure out a solution yourself."

Ling Ran had a deep meaning, "Just to remind you, there are almost no taxis here. If you really can't find anyone, you probably have to walk back."

"However, it's [-] kilometers away from here to your school, so please do it yourself."

When Ling Ran turned his head to leave, he finally glanced at Lu Tinglan who was sitting on the side, and raised the corners of his mouth.

Until only Han Ziqi and Lu Tinglan were left at the table, the former pressed his fingertips on the table, looked at the indifferent Lu Tinglan, and tried his best to organize words in his mind.

"Let's go." Lu Tinglan stood up and tightened his tie, "I'll take you home."

"Oh." Han Ziqi replied, suppressing the wanton spread of happiness, obediently followed behind the man.

Han Ziqi followed him to the side of the car, "Can I take the co-pilot?"

"It's up to you." Lu Tinglan said coldly, obviously not wanting to talk too much with him.

Han Ziqi opened the car door and got in. The car drove along the main road to the city, and the two of them were silent all the way.

The car stopped at a 24-hour pharmacy.

Lu Tinglan unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car, and walked into the pharmacy by himself.

A few minutes later, Lu Tinglan handed him a box of burn ointment, "Three times a day, remember to apply it."

Han Ziqi was flustered and excited, holding the medicine box in the palm of his hand, loosening it for fear of falling off, tightening for fear of crushing it, "Thank you."

Lu Tinglan didn't reply, and started the car again.

Han Ziqi's eyes drooped on the burn ointment, and he couldn't stop thinking about what Lin Duo said in the restaurant.

Under the super long red street lights on the main road, Lu Tinglan stepped on the brakes.

Han Ziqi put his thoughts into countless permutations and combinations. He breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed the medicine box tightly, "Tonight we will go to the dormitory to sing together, and we won't come back at night. I don't bring my key or ID card, so I can't stay in the hotel. Also, tomorrow is the weekend, and they probably won't be back the next day."

The false excuses are so weak that they can be seen through in an instant, but Han Ziqi blocked all possible solutions. The purpose is so obvious that the person concerned cannot not be aware of it.

But Lu Tinglan still didn't respond.

He wanted to repeat it again, or make another excuse, but he was afraid it would be annoying.

Until the car stopped in front of Lu Tinglan's house, Han Ziqi was led into the villa by him.

In the car, because the lights are dim, it can help him resist shyness.But the overhead light in the living room of the villa was dazzling and bright, and Han Ziqi's thoughts were exposed in the air, and he couldn't hold on for a moment.

"I'm going to take a shower." It was obvious that he was the one who wanted to come in, but at this moment, he was repeatedly defeated by sudden weakness.

Han Ziqi closed the bathroom door, not daring to look in the mirror, but only dared to rinse his hot body with cold water.

After cooling down completely, Han Ziqi turned off the shower, only to realize a more troublesome problem, he had no change of clothes.

He couldn't help but think of the way Lu Tinglan knocked on his door when he came to his house, wrapped in a bath towel and with his upper body naked.

Don't you want to think the same about him?

Han Ziqi's legs felt weak, and he squatted down on the bathroom floor, burying his head in his arms.

It's too shameful not to be able to do it.

After doing countless mental constructions for himself, Han Ziqi wrapped his lower body in a bath towel and wore one on his upper body. He took a deep breath and opened the bathroom door.

But he found that at the door of the bathroom, Lu Tinglan had already prepared a clean set of home clothes for him.

Han Ziqi secretly took it in.

The clothes belonged to Lu Tinglan, and there was his fragrance on them.It is a safe taste that Han Ziqi likes.

Han Ziqi put it on, the cotton top was a size too big, just enough to cover Han Ziqi's thighs.

He picked up the trousers again, raised one foot and was about to put it on, but on the way to stand on one foot, he fell straight down because the ground was wet and slippery.

"What's wrong?" Lu Tinglan rushed over upon hearing the sound, and pushed open the door with a panicked expression.

I saw Han Ziqi's lower body with bare legs, covering his ankles, squatting on the ground.

The two slender and white legs were pale and dazzling under the charming water vapor and warm light in the bathroom.

"I twisted my foot."

Lu Tinglan let out a long breath, bent down, and grabbed his arm, "Can you still get up?"

"No." Han Ziqi was aggrieved.

Lu Tinglan sighed, "I'll help you up."

Han Ziqi lowered his eyes, bit his lip, and stuck his fingertips into his palm, "Can't you carry me out?"

The author has something to say: the little clever ghost will never be forced by others again, the choice is whether to carry it on your back or hug it, the little clever ghost will only ask you to hug it, tsk tsk tsk!

So, here comes the question, will Boss Lu hug him or not?

The second watch is still at nine o'clock in the evening!
