Against the light, the other person’s face was not clearly visible, but Song Zhi Xu still subconsciously took Lin Ran into his arms. The other party approached the two of them and moved the torch light away again, so it took a while for Song Zhi Xu to see the person clearly.
It was a worker wearing blue overalls and a helmet, “Who are you guys and what are you guys doing by coming here?” The other party also sized up the two of them.
Both of them were well dressed and looked like they were rich. This was an old area and it was going to be demolished, so all the rich people had moved out so he didn’t think the two of them were from here either.
Lin Ran, who was already a bit scared, hid behind Song Zhi Xu and pulled tightly at his clothes. Lin Ran was already a bit scared at night, and the fact that there was a stranger in front of them who was a little fierce made him even more scared,”Hello, we are here to look for someone, we wanna ask this address, do you know where it is?” Song Zhi Xu took out his mobile phone and showed it to the other party, he moved from the property deed to the address on his phone.
The other party took a look at it, and then looked at the two men across the street and shook his head, “I don’t know, hurry up and go. Don’t come here in the middle of the night.” The man said goodbye as he waved his hand and let them go while he himself walked to the place where he had come from.
Here, the place was already unattended and was very messy, two rich people, isn’t this to get themselves robbed?
Song Zhi Xu wanted to go after them and asked again, but he felt that Lin Ran’s body was already trembling with fear, so finally Song Zhi Xu just took a look at the words printed on the back of the man’s overalls and did not follow him.
Song Zhi Xu turned around and took Lin Ran in his embrace, hugging him for a while until Lin Ran stabilized before he said in a low voice,

It didn’t take long for the two of them to get back to the car and close the car door, leaving only two people inside, before Lin Ran fell into Song Zhi Xu’s arms with red eyes.
“Song Zhi Xu, at night it’s so scary.”
Song Zhi Xu gently stroked Lin Ran’s back and dropped one light kiss after another on his forehead, waiting until Lin Ran was better before Song Zhi Xu pushed him away and started the car to go back to the place where they stayed.
On the way, Song Zhi Xu parked the car at the roadside and left Lin Ran in the car. He went down to buy Lin Ran a milk tea and a strawberry cake. Lin Ran was holding the cake in the car, taking a sip of milk tea for himself and then feeding Song Zhi Xu a sip later, the taste of milk tea was sweet from his mouth to his heart as he revealed a smile that later showed up on Lin Ran’s face again.
The two of them stayed in a hotel,so it was not convenient to cook by themselves. Song Zhi Xu called the front desk to have their meal delivered. After the two of them finished eating together, they leaned back on the sofa as they watched TV.
Lin Ran leaned on Song Zhi Xu’s chest, suddenly raised his head and asked him, “Song Zhi Xu came here because of Ran Ran right?”
Song Zhi Xu was stunned and a little confused. He came here indeed because of Lin Ran, but how come Lin Ran knew about it?
“Ran Ran, why did you think so?”
“That address, Ran Ran saw it last time.” Lin Ran tugged on Song Zhi Xu’s coat and said in a small voice.
He saw it last time, that little book had the address on it, along with his name, and this time it was that address on Song Zhi Xu’s phone. Song Zhi Xu froze, Lin Ran Lin Ran still remembered that address, after a while he asked cautiously and in a small voice, “Then Ran Ran, do you still remember the photo?”
Lin Ran thought for a moment, then shook his head.
He didn’t remember any photos.
Song Zhi Xu gently patted Lin Ran’s back and lowered his eyes. It was just like what he thought, the problem was in the photo, but Song Zhi Xu still didn’t understand something. In Lin Ran’s bag, there was a “the whole family photo” of the Lin family, and Lin Ran’s father was also on it, so why was Lin Ran fine when he saw that photo?
Was it because the picture of Lin Ran’s father in the box was much younger than the one in the “family photo” or was it because there was…another man in it? It was a pity that he hadn’t brought the photo with him, otherwise he could have taken this opportunity to ask Lin Mu, and perhaps he would have had an answer.
When it was near the time for Lin Ran to go to sleep, he started to get sleepy and yawned, his curly eyelashes wet with tears. Lin Ran leaned into Song Zhi Xu’s arms, his voice a little sleepy as he softly said, “Song Zhi Xu, Ran Ran is sleepy.”
Song Zhi Xu returned to his senses, looked at the time as the corners of his lips curled into a smile.
This little thing was really able to sleep, noon, night, every day, everytime when the time was up, he would get sleepy, only in the morning did he get up a little too early.
He turned off the TV and carried Lin Ran back to the bedroom.
In an unfamiliar place, although there were only the two of them, Lin Ran was still a bit insecure as he was extra clingy to Song Zhi Xu. Before he went to bed, he wore some big disposable slippers and hugged his own nightgown, now looking at Song Zhi Xu while he was waiting anxiously at the bathroom front door. Seeing that Song Zhi Xu did not understand, Lin Ran said in a small voice again, “Ran Ran wants to take a bath together with Song Zhi Xu.”
He would be scared if he couldn’t see Song Zhi Xu if he closed the door during his bath time. Song Zhi Xu looked at Lin Ran and unconsciously swallowed his saliva, but he still shook his head in the end.
“Ran Ran, be obedient and go wash by yourself.”
Lin Ran bit his lip and shook his head, standing stubbornly still in the place, knowing that obviously he had taken a bath previously and Song Zhi Xu was also there.
