Chapter 134 Love at First Sight
Wu Lan reports to the institute on time every day.
Yan Hengmiao would personally pick her up and drop her off every time, and would even wait outside the institute early just to pick her up and leave as soon as possible.
Wu Lan had seen Yan Hengmiao working on his work several times. But whenever he got in the car, he would put his things away and ask about the results of his inspection.
Wu Lan knew that Yan Hengmiao was very busy, so he suggested that the driver could pick him up, but Yan Hengmiao said he was happy to do so and asked not to drive him away.
Wu Lan had no intention of driving the other person away, so she had to agree to let Yan Hengmiao continue to pick her up.
"His car was parked outside thirty minutes ago."
After reviewing the data report for today's inspection, Du Zhu looked at Wu Lan, who was sitting silently beside him, and suddenly changed the subject: "Have you thought of anything else recently?"
Wu Lan nodded.
After these checks, he did remember some things, but they were all irrelevant and not what he really wanted to remember.
In fact, what he wanted most was to remember something about Yan Hengmiao, but unfortunately there had been no substantial progress.
Du Zhu didn't ask Wu Lan what he remembered, he suddenly started talking about something else.
“Speaking of which, I was quite surprised when he approached me and said he wanted to try this new technology.”
Du Zhu sat across from Wu Lan, placed the notebook on the table, and said calmly, "To be honest, my technology was recently developed. Although I can guarantee the basic safety of the tasker, there are still high risks."
"High risk?"
"Yes."
Du Zhu paused and continued, "As the tasker, that is, you, you are protected by the system's mechanism. I can guarantee your safety. The high risk I refer to is Yan Hengmiao. He faces a very high risk."
"You can think of this fast-forward journey as a 'game.' Normally, I would create different data in the game, which would be the mission targets and the children of destiny you encounter. But Yan Hengmiao said he wouldn't use the data I created."
"He volunteered to become part of the data. I cut his consciousness into countless data chains and input them into the main system. But there is a danger in doing so."
"If something goes wrong, his consciousness will no longer be able to be pieced together, and he will likely fall into a severe state of unconsciousness, that is, a vegetative state."
This was the first time Wu Lan knew these things. He looked at Du Zhu in surprise, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but was at a loss for words.
After a long pause, he asked in a low voice, "So, everyone I met was actually Yan Hengmiao, right?"
"right."
"Then..." Wu Lan paused again, pursed her lips, and looked very complicated. The tips of her two fingers clenched together were so hard that they turned white. "Then what about 2720? Could 2720 be him too?"
"Yes, 2720 is also him."
Wu Lan had already guessed it when he asked this question. But when Du Zhu confirmed that the person 2720 who had always been by his side was also Yan Hengmiao, he was still inevitably surprised.
Although 2720 always acted indifferent, whenever he encountered a problem, 2720 always helped him. Especially after experiencing five small worlds, his trust in 2720 was even higher, and he relied on 2720 even more.
Looking back now, when he first met 2720, he naturally chose to trust the system in his heart, and even felt a faint sense of familiarity with 2720.
Suddenly, Wu Lan thought of something and asked, "Do you know what happened between me and Yan Hengmiao?"
"I've heard something."
Du Zhu thought about it and said, "I have only known Yan Hengmiao for two or three years, but I heard that there has always been someone by his side."
"It's a pity that he always hid that person's information and never let me see a photo of that person. He kept it very secret. Whenever I asked about it, he would always look at me warily, as if he was worried that I was going to steal her from him."
At this point, Du Zhu chuckled: "Later I heard from others that the person was his childhood sweetheart. They grew up together and had a very good relationship, so he was very protective of her and didn't let others explore her at all. He was very stingy."
He looked at Wu Lan, who was listening intently, and his eyes darkened. "Then one day, he suddenly came to me and talked about this new technology. Then I realized that the person was you."
"When we officially entered the fast-travel world, he briefly told me about you. I only know that your parents are very good friends, but because your parents are busy with their careers, they had to temporarily raise you in the Yan family, and you grew up with Yan Hengmiao."
Wu Lan doesn't have a deep memory of her parents, as they were often apart.
These days, he often recalls his childhood, when he would always see a tall figure following him. He couldn't see the person's face, but he knew that the person had always been by his side until he grew up.
After hearing what Du Zhu said, combined with what Yan Hengmiao had said before, Wu Lan was very sure that this person was Yan Hengmiao.
It seems that Yan Hengmiao is not lying.
"Okay, that's all for today's inspection. See you tomorrow."
Du Zhu stood up and opened the door for Wu Lan, "Let me take you out."
Wu Lan nodded and smiled: "Thank you, Dr. Du."
Wu Lan had heard other researchers call him that, so he followed suit. Du Zhu hadn't said anything before, but today he said, "I'm not much older than you, so you can just call me brother."
Since this was Du Zhu's request, Wu Lan quickly changed her tone: "Brother Zhu."
Du Zhu smiled with satisfaction, patted Wu Lan's shoulder gently, and said, "Let's go, he must be getting anxious waiting."
Walking out of the institute's gate, Wu Lan saw a familiar black car parked not far away.
He was about to walk over when Du Zhu stopped him: "Wait a moment."
Wu Lan looked at him curiously, only to see Du Zhu raise his hand and gently touch his head, saying in a gentle voice, "There are a few strands of cotton wool stuck to you. Let me help you get rid of them."
"Uh-huh."
Wu Lan stood there obediently, letting the other person help him sort it out. But he didn't know if it was his illusion, he felt that the other person's movements were a little slow. If it was just a few strands of cotton wool, it should be done quickly.
After a while, he felt the other person's warm big hand suddenly come to his ear and gently touch the tip of his ear.
"Your ears are red, so cute."
These words made Wu Lan stunned for a moment. Looking at the other person's smiling eyes, he blushed a little embarrassedly.
But before he could say anything, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside him, and Du Zhu's wrist was grabbed and thrown away.
Looking at Yan Hengmiao with a dark face, Du Zhu put his hands behind his back, twisted his wrists imperceptibly, and cursed in his heart: This bastard is really strong.
But his face showed nothing, and his voice remained as gentle as ever: "Why did you get off the bus?"
Yan Hengmiao's eyes were gloomy, and there was a hint of hostility in them as he looked at Du Zhu. He really wanted to cripple Du Zhu's hand.
He was waiting for Wu Lan in the car just now, but he didn't expect to see Du Zhu touching Wu Lan's head. This action made him jealous.
When I came to my senses, he had already walked over.
Yan Hengmiao didn't answer Du Zhu. He stared at him with a scrutinizing look and said coldly, "Is today's inspection over?"
Du Zhu: "It's over."
Yan Hengmiao hummed, and said nothing more. He put his hand on Wu Lan's shoulder, as if to indicate something, and said to Wu Lan, "Let's go."
Wu Lan nodded silently, said goodbye to Du Zhu and got in the car.
Only after he sat down did his tense shoulders relax and he secretly patted his chest for his pounding heart.
He didn't know if it was his imagination, but the atmosphere just now didn't seem right. But before he could think about it, a warm hand appeared on his shoulder.
Subconsciously, his body was very familiar with Yan Hengmiao's touch and he did not feel any resistance or discomfort.
This realization surprised him a little.
The car is moving.
Wu Lan sat in the passenger seat and glanced at Yan Hengmiao. She found that the other person's jaw was tense and he was looking at the road ahead with a serious expression. He was in a low mood.
He pursed his lips uneasily, remained quiet, and didn't dare to speak easily.
After returning to the manor, Wu Lan immediately hid in the room.
He was alone at dinner.
When asked where Yan Hengmiao, the steward of Liang, had gone, the steward of Liang said, "The young master is at the training ground now. He said he is not hungry yet, so he asked you to have dinner first."
After the servants served the dishes one by one, Butler Liang thoughtfully opened the bowl of chicken soup for Wu Lan and said, "The soup is still hot. You can drink it later."
"Today's dishes are all prepared according to your previous tastes, and a dessert is also prepared after the meal."
Butler Liang was a bit talkative today. He added, "The dessert was made by the young master himself. It's the Black Forest cake you've always loved."
Wu Lan blinked in surprise and nodded slowly: "Then I'll try it later. Thank you, Uncle Liang."
"Master Lan, you are too polite. This is what I should do."
After he finished speaking, Butler Liang seemed to want to say something else, but he stopped, turned around and left to do other things.
After dinner, Wu Lan went to the back garden for a ten-minute walk before returning to her room.
As soon as I returned to my room, I took a shower and lay on the bed, thinking about what Du Zhu said today. I really wanted to remember those blank memories.
Before going to bed, Butler Liang brought milk.
Since returning to the manor, Butler Liang has brought milk every night, saying it helps with sleep. But Wu Lan didn't feel like drinking it today, so she took a small sip and put it down.
One o'clock in the morning.
The manor was quiet, and the entire villa was also very quiet. Only a tall figure appeared in the corridor on the second floor, walking slowly towards a room.
Yan Hengmiao stood in front of Wu Lan's room. He didn't knock on the door. As if he knew that the person in the room was already asleep, he quietly opened the door.
The room was pitch black.
With the light from the corridor, he immediately locked onto the boy sleeping soundly on the bed.
Gently closing the door, Yan Hengmiao walked into the room, walked quietly to Wu Lan's bed, and knelt on one knee.
The curtains connecting to the terrace were not completely drawn, and with the help of a few rays of moonlight, he could clearly see Wu Lan's sleeping face.
The young man was fast asleep, his delicate eyebrows relaxed, his eyelashes long and thick, casting a small shadow. This sleeping face was truly beautiful, and even though Yan Hengmiao had seen it countless times, he was still captivated by it.
Perhaps it should be said that he fell in love with Wu Lan from the first sight.
He fell in love with Wu Lan at first sight.
At that time, Wu Lan was just a child, but he was deeply attracted to this little guy. He left those who surrounded him and surrounded Wu Lan with satisfaction.
As Wu Lan grew up, she became more and more beautiful and delicate, and it was hard for anyone to look away. No wonder she always attracted some interesting people around her.
Thinking of those guys who had pestered him before, Yan Hengmiao's eyes darkened for a moment, and there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
He secretly dealt with everyone who wanted to get close to Wu Lan, and would never let those people get close to Wu Lan, let alone touch a hair of Wu Lan.
But today, Du Zhu met Wu Lan.
Suddenly, Yan Hengmiao's eyes became even darker, like a pool of thick ink that was bottomless, with a chill surging in it.
If he didn't need to rely on Du Zhu's power to restore Wu Lan's memory, he really wouldn't be able to help but do something.
The big hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists. Yan Hengmiao suppressed the rage in his heart and silently stared at the sleeping baby in front of him.
His gaze lingered on Wu Lan's eyebrows for a long time, with deep love rolling in his deep eyes. His line of sight gradually slid from her eyebrows to the tip of her straight nose, and finally stopped at her plump lips.
Loosening his fist, he raised his hand and gently stroked Wu Lan's cheek, outlining the delicate facial features with his fingertips, not worrying at all that Wu Lan would suddenly wake up.
Before the accident, he and Wu Lan were inseparable and very close. But after the accident, Wu Lan forgot about him, and he didn't dare to get close to Wu Lan for fear of causing displeasure.
If he hadn't been provoked by Du Zhu's actions today, he wouldn't have sneaked in like a thief.
That's so ungraceful.
Fortunately, Wu Lan was already asleep and did not see his shameful behavior.
Thinking of this, Yan Hengmiao's mouth curled up slightly.
He couldn't help but move closer. The pleasant sweet fragrance quickly entered his nose and his throat tightened.
His eyes fell on the plump lips again. He lowered his head slightly and slowly closed the distance between them. His tall nose bridge gently touched the tip of Wu Lan's nose.
Their breaths mixed together, and his thin lips were almost touching Wu Lan's lips.
Suddenly, a little voice of Sha Mian, who was woken up, sounded in the dim room, interrupting Yan Hengmiao's kiss.
"Are you kissing me secretly?"
