Xu Moran was stunned for a long time before he recovered from the shock of being struck by lightning. "You actually read this kind of book?"
The cover is rough, the lettering is blurry, and the workmanship is shoddy; it's obviously a pirated book.
This was so unlike the taste of Xu Ye, who pursued extravagance and debauchery. Xu Moran looked at Xu Ye as if he were looking at a wonder of the world.
Xu Ye allowed Xu Moran to look him over with an open and generous attitude, and no matter how she looked at him, his expression remained calm as always. The composure he exuded was not something that could be faked; it required good manners, a broad perspective, and rich experience.
The first two can be obtained as long as one has a good family background, but the last one, experience, can only be enriched with age. Looking at Xu Ran's appearance, no matter how you look at him, he looks only in his twenties.
Why does he seem like a very experienced person? Could it be that he's had plastic surgery, so despite his youthful appearance, he's actually quite old?
The thought popped into Xu Moran's mind, and he gave himself a piece of his mind. "You bastard, have you been watching too many TV dramas lately? Your imagination is so vivid."
After Xu Ranren scrutinized her for a moment, she curled one corner of her lips into a sly smile. "My dear Ranran, actually, beneath my innocent exterior, there's always been an experienced driver inside. It's just that I'm quite good at controlling this experienced driver, so it doesn't come out often."
Xu Moran, "..."
The two people and the dog walked a few more steps forward. Xu Moran turned to the man beside her again and asked the question that had not been answered directly earlier, "How did you know that the suspect's weakness was Xiaomei?"
As soon as Xu Moran finished speaking, she felt something warm and furry nudging her hand. Looking down, she saw a dog's face with a fawning expression.
Xu Moran considered his choice of words. Was it appropriate to use the ingratiating expression on the face of a dog covered in golden fur, since the long fur made it difficult to see the dog's true expression?
It's amazing how even though Xiao Mei's face was covered in dog hair, you could still see her expression.
No wonder it is often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. For dogs, especially intelligent dogs like Xiaomei, no matter how much fur is on their faces, it cannot block the light emanating from their eyes.
Indeed, the reason Xu Moran could see the dog's ingratiating expression on its face was because of its eyes.
Xiaomei thought that when she mentioned its name, she meant she was going to do something to it, or that she didn't want it anymore, so she tried to please her.
Xu Moran gently patted its head and comforted it, "Good boy, what I was talking about, Xiao Mei, has nothing to do with you."
Just then, a butterfly flew by. Xiao Mei, who had been worried about being disliked and abandoned by Xu Moran, changed her dejected and ingratiating attitude and ran after the butterfly on her hind legs.
Xu Moran watched Xiao Mei happily run off and let out a soft breath. She deeply felt that sometimes, people are not as free and happy as a dog.
Xu Moran withdrew his gaze from Xiao Mei and looked at Xu Ye's face again, continuing his questioning: "Tell the truth!"
Xu Ye shrugged. "Ranran, I was just telling the truth."
Xu Moran wasn't so easily fooled. "Xu Ye, can you tell fortunes?"
Xu Ye said seriously, "As a contemporary youth who has received higher education, of course I don't believe in such superstitions."
Seeing his righteous indignation, Xu Moran nodded. "Very good.
