CH 62.2

But this was not the room where he had slept last night, none of his clothes were here and he wasn’t wearing any either. 

Lin Ran could only wrap himself with the quilt and walk out, and just as he left the bedroom door he saw Song Zhi Xu, who had his back facing him, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking outside, “Song Zhi Xu.” Lin Ran called out, somewhat excitedly wanting to run over to him and hug him, but forgetting that he was still wrapped up in the quilt and could not move his legs.

As soon as he took a step, he tripped over the quilt he was wrapped in and fell to the ground, hitting his forehead hard on the floor with a loud thud. 

Lin Ran, who had fallen to the floor, as well as Song Zhi Xu, who had just turned around by the sound, both froze in the same place.

Song Zhi Xu reacted very quickly by walking over to Lin Ran’s side and hurriedly helped him up, but Lin Ran’s forehead was still red. Surprisingly, his eyes were misted with pain as he pouted his mouth, and looked as if he was about to cry.

“Ran Ran, why did you fall? Does it hurt?”

Lin Ran nodded his head, feeling wronged as he said to him, “Song Zhi Xu isn’t here. Ran Ran has no clothes to wear.” 

Song Zhi Xu took Lin Ran into his embrace and looked at him. Lin Ran had wrapped himself up quite tightly, only his feet and head were exposed. He flopped down on the ground like this, however the rest of his body was fine.

Song Zhi Xu called and ordered lunch. He also had the hotel staff boil an egg and sent it up.

It didn’t take long for Lin Ran to be sitting in front of the table looking eagerly and impatiently at the delicious meal on the table, swallowing his saliva as Song Zhi Xu rubbed his forehead with the egg. 

“Song Zhi Xu, can Ran Ran have lunch?” Lin Ran had used up too much energy last night and woke up late in the morning, so he hadn’t eaten breakfast either. By now, his stomach had already started to rumble and protest, but Song Zhi Xu still forbade him to eat, since he must rub his forehead first, “Wait a moment, rub it well, otherwise it will swell up into a ‘horn shaped’.”

Lin Ran’s forehead had already swollen up after just bumping it, therefore Song Zhi Xu had to rub the bulge away first. 

“Ran Ran isn’t afraid, no more rubbing.” Lin Ran shook his head, somewhat uncooperatively since his stomach was already making another rumbling sound at the moment. Looking at his pitiful appearance, Song Zhi Xu couldn’t bear to starve him, so he could only stop the action in his hands first, pushing the dishes that the restaurant had just delivered, in front of Lin Ran and moved them into Lin Ran’s bowl with his chopsticks for him to eat. Lin Ran was so happy that his eyes narrowed as he looked at the food. He lowered his head as he pushed the food into his mouth with chopsticks but thinking of what Song Zhi Xu had told him that he should eat slowly and swallow what was in his mouth, only then he slowed down, eating one small bite every time.

When Lin Ran had finished eating, only then Song Zhi Xu ate the rest of the food and stopped him from clearing the table before then taking him straight back to his room. He had booked the afternoon flight from Hai Cheng to fly back to the capital and now he was packing his luggage, after that he returned the rental car and took a taxi to the airport. 

It was just about the right time.

Lin Ran could only endure not cleaning up the table. Together with Song Zhi Xu, they packed up the luggage together and checked out of the room, before leaving the hotel. 

Because Lin Ran did not take a nap at noon, once on the plane, Lin Ran fell asleep as he leaned on Song Zhi Xu’s arms and slept until the plane landed. He was then woken up by Song Zhi Xu, who then led him out of the airport in a daze. Song Zhi Xu’s car was parked at the airport, so after getting off the plane, the two of them got into the car, only then Song Zhi Xu drove back to the villa.

Lin Ran hadn’t seen his Xiao Guai for three days, so he talked endlessly to Song Zhi Xu in the car. 

Song Zhi Xu listened to him, smiling for a long time.

Not knowing from where Lin Ran had learned that turtles could lay eggs, it was only a few days after he had bought a wife for Xiao Guai that he was already thinking about when the turtles would be able to lay eggs. 

When he got to the point where the eggs could produce many Xiao Guai, only then Song Zhi helplessly Xu interrupted him.

“Baby, do you know that it takes a male turtle and a female turtle to lay eggs?” 

Lin Ran froze, looked at Song Zhi Xu and lightly shook his head. Song Zhi Xu added, “Then do you know whether Xiao Guai and his wife we just bought for him, is a male or a female?”

Lin Ran thought about it and shook his head, his face showing a bit of distress. He seemed not to know anything about it, except that the cartoons said that turtles could lay eggs. “How can I know which is which?” Lin Ran asked 

This time it was Song Zhi Xu who was at loss and couldn’t answer him, because he also didn’t know how to differentiate male from female turtles either.

Just at the time when he was about to find an excuse and say that Xiao Guai was still too young to lay eggs, then his mobile phone suddenly rang. 

Song Zhi Xu glanced at it to see that it was the company assistant, he connected the bluetooth in the car, turned on the audio through speakers and asked directly: “What is it?”

“Boss, are you back now?” The assistant’s voice was a little anxious. 

Song Zhi Xu gave a “Hn”as reply, “I just came back, what’s wrong?

“The company recently had a problem with a multinational project, and they asked you to go over there to talk about it, so you might have to go on a business trip.” The assistant waited for Song Zhi Xu’s answer. 

“Didn’t I already let the vice president go?” Song Zhi Xu knew that there was indeed some trouble with that project.

“It was the news from the vice president’s side that the business partner refused to talk to him and must ask you to go over.” The assistant helplessly but still had to say the words out.
