Although he learned some news related to his father, it brought more new problems, and everything added up to make Xiao Lan feel even more confusing.

He thought about his father Xiao Chengyan, about his skills, about coming to the world, and seemed a little absent-minded all afternoon.

By the time of dinner, Xiao Lan's state was still a little low.

At this time, Luo walked up to him: "Sir, I booked a well-known Spanish restaurant before, and it has a good reputation. Why don't we go to have dinner and relax."

Before looking for information about Xiao Chengyan, Luo had prevented any news that might put Xiao Lan in a bad mood, and he also made several preparations for this.

Xiao Lan originally wanted to say that she was not in the mood to eat, but thinking that Luo might have made a lot of reservations in advance, it didn't seem good to refuse it like this, and ordering takeout would have to wait anyway, and finally nodded in agreement.

Still driving by Luo, the two came to the reserved restaurant.

The waiter led the two and sat down in the box that Luo had reserved.

In the exquisitely decorated restaurant, the soothing music and delicious food really make people feel comfortable.

The paella in front of you is full of aroma, the seafood in the rice is very fresh, the taste is full of elasticity and rich in the fresh and sweet taste of seafood, with the loose and well-defined rice, every bite is greatly enhanced by both taste and touch. satisfy.

The low-temperature slow-cooked beef is tender and juicy, paired with the chef's special sauce, every bite is a treat.

The wood-roasted suckling pig is crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. It is paired with two kinds of dipping sauces, the apple puree is sweet and flavorful, and the spicy sauce has a unique Spanish flavor. The taste is unique and wonderful.

As a side dish, the Puerto Rican mushrooms were fried just right, with both the fragrance of fungi and a unique hint of spiciness, which was very refreshing to eat.

Even if Xiao Lan is a person who eats all kinds of delicious food, he can taste the deliciousness of these foods. Sure enough, when you are in a bad mood, eating a delicious meal can really lift your spirits.

He put the beef on the plate into his mouth, and the irritability caused by the overwhelming doubt in his heart subsided a little.

Seeing that Xiao Lan's frowning brows stretched slightly, Luo took a sip from the glass: "Sir, how about we go for a ride after dinner?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Lan has not experienced a pastime such as a drive for many years. After all, he has neither a car nor money, and no time yet. For a while, he really misses it.

The last time he drove for a drive was probably when his parents were still there, and he was the most carefree teenager.

"Fresh air and the environment along the way also help to relax." Luo added with a smile.

——

after dinner.

Luo drove the car and drove Xiao Lan along the river. Fortunately, non-human beings would not be troubled by the problem of drunk driving.

The cool wind by the river brushed Xiao Lan's cheeks, bringing with it the hustle and bustle of the city at night. The dazzling lights reflected in the river water, scattered little by little with the waves, and became a pool of stars.

Xiao Lan leaned against the car window, staring at the splendid night scene that was constantly passing by the window. For a moment, thoughts flew in his mind, as if he had thought a lot and then seemed to think nothing at all.

He hadn't had the luxury of resting in a daze for a long, long time.

In the past, even if he graduated with honors, the poor credit status and the loan sharks who often came to the door made him shut out of better jobs. He can only do some odd jobs, and each of them is very difficult to last, and the never-ending part-time jobs and debts force him to have no chance to breathe.

After entering the world of advent, it is full of danger and always by my side. It seems that the whole person must be stretched tightly all the time, and the slightest slack will bring the risk of death...

Luo observed Xiao Lan's empty expression, he did not speak to disturb Xiao Lan's state at the moment, but just drove the car more smoothly and moved forward quietly.

The gentleman should be very tired. Even if the physical exhaustion can be recovered, the superimposed burden on the mind will not be reduced.

Luo hoped that everything he did would make Xiao Lan feel a little more relaxed, even if there was an invisible abyss ahead, even if there were many dangers soon, at least for now, it could make him feel comfortable and relaxed.

I don't know how long it has been driving, and the Ferrari stopped on a hillside in the suburbs.

Xiao Lan regained consciousness and looked up. The front of the hillside was wide open. Tomorrow seemed to be a sunny day, and the starry sky at the moment was exceptionally bright.

Seeing Xiao Lan's attention returning, Luo said, "Want to get out of the car and have a look?"

Xiao Lan nodded and got out of the car. The surroundings were quiet, except for the faint chirping of insects from the grass and bushes, which made it even more quiet at the moment. It seemed that he and Luo were the only two left in the world.

The mountain air with fresh water vapor and the fragrance of grass and trees makes people feel extra comfortable.

"Bam—"

At this time, fireworks suddenly rose from the foot of the mountain, and the continuous fireworks exploded in the night sky, embellishing the night brightly. .

"It is said that in the human world, fireworks symbolize blessings and are often set off on festival days."

"Bless you, sir."

Xiao Lan turned her head, just in time to meet Luo's smiling face, which was reflected by the fireworks.

The light of the fireworks outlines Luo's outline with a layer of shimmer, which makes this non-human person have an excellent appearance and shows a kind of beauty that is out of the world. Like the ghosts in legends that will tempt lost travelers and lead them to a point of no return.

Perhaps those travelers who are willing to be deceived have seen such a scene.

After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Lan finally recovered: "...Thank you, Luo."

In the cool night wind, Luo took out the hot tea prepared in advance and handed it to Xiao Lan: "No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Xiao Lan held hot tea and watched this fireworks specially prepared for him side by side with Luo.

The depression and confusion in my heart suddenly dissipated.

Regardless of whether it came to the world or his father's incident, it happened anyway, and the troubles can't be changed. It's better to keep going, and you will always find hope for yourself when you move forward.

Besides, he also has a good teammate who will never give up. When one person finds it difficult, the two may bring a new way out.

Xiao Lan silently turned her head and glanced at the people around her, with a smile on her face, and said to him silently in her heart: It's nice to meet you.

——

After watching the fireworks, the two drove home.

It was already late at night.

Xiao Lan was at the door of her house, but she saw the dog walker who reminded them that the house was not right when they just moved in. It turned out that the uncle lived next door to them, but he didn't see that energetic Erha today.

The uncle also noticed Xiao Lan, and he greeted them with a smile: "How are you guys, you look very energetic!"

Xiao Lan got out of the car, returned the salute to the uncle, and chatted for a while.

During the conversation, Xiao Lan learned that the uncle's surname is Zhang, and he is now retired. He usually grows vegetables in his garden to feed the dogs. Although it was not very realistic to see the lights in the dark, Xiao Lan still saw the pitted vegetable field of Uncle Zhang's house.

Uncle, Erha and Caidi can't have both.

Uncle Zhang asked Xiao Lan, "Young man, how about you?"

Xiao Lan: "My name is Xiao Lan. I'm a freelancer. I usually run outside most of the time, but I probably don't come back often."

Uncle Zhang was very envious when he heard it: "Freelancing is good, what you do is up to you. When I open a company by myself, I have to be trapped in the office, either my own or someone else's, and I can't escape from work even if I have a meal. Okay, now throw the company to my son, let him lose his hair, hahaha."

"Now I grow vegetables and raise my dog ​​son, so I can be considered a freelance vegetable farmer."

It can't be seen that this is still an uncle who founded a business from scratch, although he is now addicted to growing vegetables.

At this time, Luo parked the car and came over, and Uncle Zhang was also very interested in him: "Young man, what do you do? Are you also a freelancer like Xiao Xiao?"

Luo shook his head slightly towards Uncle Zhang: "Hello, my name is Fei Luo, I'm just Mr.'s personal assistant."

Uncle Zhang looked at Luo and then at Xiao Lan, with a clear look in his eyes: "Personal assistant, I understand, I understand. You two seem to be a good match, and I'm not as pedantic as those old guys. Bless you."

Luo smiled, but didn't mean to explain.

Xiao Lan's smile gradually disappeared: "..."

No, sir, what did you know! ! ! Is your circle so complicated?

He tried to divert this embarrassing topic: "That... Grandpa Zhang, what are you doing out so late? It's dark outside, so be careful when you bump into it."

Uncle Zhang scratched his head: "It's not my Tie Hanhan, it's that Erha, who took down the window and ran out."

Xiao Lan looked towards Uncle Zhang's house, and sure enough, he saw that the window of a room on the second floor had disappeared, and it was torn down neatly. don't know how many times it happened.

"Need help?" Xiao Lan asked.

"No." Uncle Zhang confidently took out a special beef sausage for pets from his pocket. He tore the package and waved it skillfully, and the aroma of the beef was instantly released.

Uncle Zhang shouted, "Tie Hanhan, what do you think this is?"

Xiao Lan was deeply impressed. It seems that Uncle Zhang has also grown up.

Then, out of nowhere, a muddy Erha came out of nowhere, and ran wildly with its tail flapping, dropping mud while running.

Uncle Zhang just showed a winning smile, but unexpectedly Erha directly put his muddy dog ​​head on him. Uncle Zhang couldn't dodge in time, and was pushed all the way back to the house from the gate of his own courtyard.

In the distance, there was his annoyed voice:

"Tie Hanhan! Stop! You are all muddy!"

"Ouch, my TV!"

"Put it down! That's your brother's clothes!!"

Xiao Lan: "..."

Perhaps on the road of domesticating Erha, Uncle Zhang still has a long way to grow.

——

When the two returned home, Xiao Lan suddenly stopped when they passed the sofa.

Before he walked to the sofa, he took out a tablet that Luo bought for him and handed it to Luo: "I found something for you before, but I almost forgot to give it to you."

Luo reached out to take it, and saw a video displayed on the tablet - "Little girl, Sister Butterfly teaches you to draw flowers".

The open list also includes "Sister Dudu teaches you to draw cats", "Sister Yueyue teaches you to draw a small house", "Sister Orange teaches you to draw the sky" and many other children's painting tutorial series.

Luo: "..."

He still smiled and accepted.

It's really hard to keep smiling at times like this...
