Chapter 34 Picking up the Streamer
Hearing that he could pick up the car so soon, Lu Ran was quite surprised. He didn't refuse and agreed to pick it up in Tianhai City a few days later.
After finishing the phone call, I went back inside.
Cheng Ning and Wang Xiaoyan talked about something, but as soon as Lu Ran entered the door, Wang Xiaoyan looked at him with a strange expression.
Lu Ran felt extremely uncomfortable watching this.
"Officer Wang, what's wrong?"
Wang Xiaoyan smiled and said, "It's nothing."
"This is really beyond my expectations. I thought it would be a guy pursuing a girl, but it turns out it's a girl..."
"Xiaoyan, you promised you wouldn't tell."
Cheng Ning hurriedly tugged at her sister, both flustered and anxious.
Wang Xiaoyan patted her hand: "Okay, I won't say anything. Ning, you can do it. After all, there's a saying, 'Something is separated by a mountain, something is separated by a thin veil.'"
"Ahem, alright, alright, if I say anything more you'll start crying. I have to go now, I'll come see you again when I have time."
Cheng Ning breathed a sigh of relief, for the first time she really wanted her sisters to leave sooner.
He nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go."
Wang Xiaoyan stood up and waved to Lu Ran: "Goodbye, Lu Ran."
Lu Ran smiled and said, "Officer Wang, take care."
Lu Ran finally relaxed after Wang Xiaoyan left.
He sat down next to Cheng Ning and asked, "What did you and Officer Wang talk about just now? What did she mean by those words?"
"What mountain, what yarn!"
Cheng Ning blushed and replied, "No, it's nothing."
After a moment of silence, Cheng Ning stammered, "Lu Ran, you, you."
Lu Ran looked completely bewildered: "What happened to me?"
Cheng Ning bit her lip: "Are you free tonight? How about we go see a movie?"
Lu Ran pursed her lips: "Watch a movie?"
Seemingly sensing the question in Lu Ran's tone, Cheng Ning explained:
"Although I can't see, I sometimes go to the movies with Xiaoyan. She watches, and I listen."
Lu Ran thought about it and agreed; who says blind people can't go to the movie theater?
【ding~】
[Girls have delicate emotions; everything she does carries some meaning. The host doesn't seem to understand this yet, but that's alright. Not understanding won't affect the host's progress in finding a partner.]
[Task: Promise Cheng Ning you'll go to the movies with her.]
[Reward: 100 Treasure Chest Experience Points.]
Lu Ran was taken aback. He had a feeling that the system was hinting at something to him.
He then asked in his mind, "System, could you explain this more clearly?"
no response.
"I'm your host, after all. Can't you even give me this much face? Is playing riddles fun?"
Seeing that the system still didn't respond, Lu Ran stopped thinking about it.
"Sure, what movie do you like? I'll buy the tickets."
[The host accepted Cheng Ning's invitation. She was very happy and gained 100 treasure chest experience points.]
Lu Ran: !!!
Even if the system didn't say so, he would definitely agree.
Cheng Ning took out her phone: "No need, I've already bought it, for 7 PM."
Lu Ran looked at the time and found that the order was placed yesterday.
However, he didn't think much of it, assuming that Cheng Ning just wanted to go out for a walk to clear her head, since she was about to have surgery and it was normal for her to be nervous.
Time quickly came to 6:30 pm.
People's Road, Chengjiang City.
Lu Ran helped Cheng Ning into the movie theater ticket counter.
Duo Duo went to a training institution for training, so he became Cheng Ning's only guide.
The two arrived at the ticket counter. Lu Ran took Cheng Ning's phone, pulled up the ticket code, scanned it against the machine, and two tickets popped out.
After getting their tickets, the two sat for a while.
Upon hearing that they were starting to check tickets for the movie they wanted to see, they got up and went into the cinema.
There weren't many people watching the movie, so you could just pick any prime spot.
The movie plot was a bit boring.
But Lu Ran didn't find it boring at all, and he patiently described the movie scenes to Cheng Ning.
"Wow, good heavens, a red-haired ghost suddenly appeared in human form. Who do we have here? It turns out to be our Miss Jiu'er."
"Pfft," Cheng Ning chuckled.
She had heard the story of Jiu'er and knew who the actress who played the Red-Haired Ghost was, so she immediately understood the humor.
Listening to Lu Ran's vivid description brought color to her dark world.
As she listened, Cheng Ning's eyes reddened, and she burst into tears.
Lu Ran said he would take her to see the world and be her eyes, and this was not just empty talk; Lu Ran has always been doing just that.
"What's wrong with you?"
Hearing the sobbing, Lu Ran quickly turned around to ask, wondering how he could be crying while listening to an abstract explanation!
Cheng Ning shook her head.
She leaned forward, resting her head on Lu Ran's shoulder, and said softly, "Go on, I like listening."
"Okay."
After watching the movie, the two went to a bubble tea shop and ordered two cups of bubble tea. After drinking them, they strolled around outside for a while.
I played until nine o'clock before returning home.
a few days later.
Tomorrow is the agreed-upon day to pick up the car. Since the location is in Tianhai, Lu Ran plans to go there a day early, which means today.
He doesn't plan to drive; he intends to take the high-speed train.
A few days ago, after watching a movie with Cheng Ning, Lu Ran told Cheng Ning that he was going to Tianhai to take care of some business, but he did not mention picking up the car.
Because of the fact that the supercar costs tens of millions, he can't think of a reasonable explanation yet.
After finishing the meal Cheng Ning had prepared, Lu Ran said to her, "My train is at 10 o'clock, I have to leave now."
Cheng Ning nodded: "Mm."
She clenched her fist under the table, then asked, "How long...are you going to be gone?"
Lu Ran laughed and said, "I didn't bring any clothes, just a phone charger and my ID card. I'll be back in two days at the latest."
"Or you could come with me."
When Lu Ran said he would be back the day after tomorrow, Cheng Ning relaxed a lot.
He shook his head and said softly, "What am I going to do? You, be careful when you go out on business. Hurry up and go, it's already nine o'clock."
Lu Ran smiled and said, "Then I'm off!"
"Um."
"Bye-Bye."
"Bye-Bye."
Lu Ran didn't think too much about returning in a day or two. After saying goodbye to Cheng Ning, he went out and took a taxi to the high-speed rail station.
After a several-hour high-speed train ride, Lu Ran finally arrived in Tianhai.
He found a hotel near the store where he was going to pick up his car and booked a room. It was a five-star hotel, costing four figures per night, 8888.
In the past, Lu Ran would have been scared away at just one glance.
But it doesn't matter to him now; he can just swipe his card with his eyes closed and not care about the price.
The hotel offers three free meals a day, cooked on-site by a chef, as well as complimentary drinks. Although the accommodation fee is high, the experience is quite good.
Lu Ran ordered a seafood noodle dish and a glass of lemonade, then sat down at a window seat.
The lobby features floor-to-ceiling windows, offering stunning views of the metropolis at night. Enjoying delicious food while admiring the scenery in this setting is truly wonderful.
"Hello, handsome."
A girl wearing a black tank top and a mini skirt, with long, fair legs and a sweet voice, came up to Lu Ran and greeted him politely, tucking her hair behind her ear.
Her figure was alright, a bit on the thin side, and as for her looks... her makeup was a bit too heavy. Lu Ran smiled politely and said, "Hello."
The girl pointed to the stool: "Can I sit here?"
Lu Ran frowned because he realized the other party was live streaming.
Seeing this, the girl explained, "Don't worry, handsome, I'll only take pictures of myself, I won't take pictures of you."
The girl is an outdoor live streamer with hundreds of thousands of followers on Douyin (TikTok), and her main content involves flirting.
However, she didn't come here today to do a pick-up show; she came to film supercars.
A Koenigsegg will be showing up tomorrow. She was invited by a friend to come and see the car. She just saw a very handsome guy sitting here alone eating.
So they decided to record a program on short notice.
