Chapter 112 Perfection

After reading the message, Lu Ran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He replied to Butler Chen for a few words, and then lay back on the bed, only then did he feel sleepy like the sea water pressing down on him.

The next day, Fang Chen came to see Lu Ran again.

What he saw was a completely different scene.

Lu Ran was humming a song while wiping the test bench.

It was obvious that he had completed the task ahead of time.

Moreover, looking at his state, it was completely different from the absent-minded look yesterday.

Fang Chen couldn't help but wonder:

"Looking at your state, I should order a song for you to have good luck."

Usually, if he said this, Lu Ran would probably ignore him.

But today, Lu Ran looked at him and said, "You order it."

Fang Chen: "..."

Even if Lu Ran was willing to sing in public with such an explosive BGM, he would not be willing.

Another day passed, and Lu Ran finally received a video call from Ji Min himself.

The man leaned on the hospital bed, looking no different than usual.

He did not have the weakness and sickness that ordinary people have after a major operation.

On the contrary, because the backrest of the hospital bed was narrow, his shoulders and back seemed broader and thicker.

After the video was connected, neither of them spoke for a while. They

just stared at each other silently.

Lu Ran even put a mobile phone holder on the table and lay on it.

His pair of dark eyes were rolling.

After looking for a while, Ji Min couldn't help laughing and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

His voice was still a little hoarse, which was the sequelae of the anesthesia just wearing off.

Lu Ran stared at the camera for a long time before saying, "Ji Min, I want to see your legs."

"What's so good about it? They're still in plaster."

Ji Min said this, but still turned the camera to show Lu Ran his legs covered in plaster.

Lu Ran felt a little distressed, and couldn't help asking, "Does it hurt?"

After asking, he felt that he had asked a useless question.

One or two days after the operation, when the anesthesia just wore off, is the most difficult.

Ji Min laughed and asked him, "What about you? How are you doing lately?"

Lu Ran straightened up, raised his chin and said, "I've been doing great lately. The experiment went smoothly, I ate well and slept well. Not only did I work two jobs, I also developed new business." The boy

was in high spirits when he spoke, and his face almost showed that he was not affected at all.

"Oh, is that so." Ji Min raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"Yeah!" Lu Ran nodded heavily.

In fact, he felt a little guilty.

He didn't sleep well in the past two days, and he found that he still had dark circles under his eyes when he woke up this morning. He

was not used to eating alone, and he weighed himself in the laboratory yesterday and found that he had lost weight.

But he lost in person but not in battle, and this kind of thing must not be said out loud.

Lu Ran coughed lightly.

Just as he was about to change the topic, he saw the man on the screen, asking jokingly:

"Is it because you are in my room that you slept well?"

Lu Ran was stunned.

Then he immediately turned his head to look.

He saw that the place facing the camera was the bed in the bedroom that belonged to Ji Min.

Now the clothes he changed were still scattered on the armrest beside the bed that Ji Min often used.

Lu Ran: "..."

"You saw it wrong." He tried to save face, "I just came to your room to take a look. Uh, the bathroom here is more convenient!"

Ji Min put his finger on the corner of his forehead and laughed.

After being mercilessly ridiculed, Lu Ran simply started to act like a spoiled child: "Forget it, laugh if you want. What's wrong with me living in my boyfriend's room!"

Ji Min laughed for a long time before he stopped for a while.

He looked at Lu Ran again and asked: "The food was good too? Why did I hear from the housekeeper that you haven't eaten much at night recently?"

Lu Ran was silent and lay back on the table.

He said in a muffled voice: "Since you know everything, why are you asking me?"

For some reason, the longing spread in an instant.

Ji Min was silent.

He nodded and said softly: "I saw it."

"Huh? What?" Lu Ran asked.

Ji Min raised his eyes and looked at him, saying: "I saw you sent a message saying you missed me."

Lu Ran was stunned.

He blinked and suddenly wanted to see Ji Min very much. He

really wanted to run to the closed operating room regardless of everything.

But he still remembered that Ji Min had just finished the operation.

It was not easy to cheer him up and call him now.

He lowered his eyes and said hurriedly: "It's so late, you should go to bed first."

On Ji Min's side, housekeeper Chen also reminded him softly.

Ji Min paused and had to say: "Well, good night, let's talk tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow!"

Lu Ran cheered up again in an instant.

He hung up Ji Min's video, and Fang Chen's phone came in immediately.

He asked: "Why don't you answer when I call you?"

Lu Ran didn't answer, but only asked: "What's the matter?"

"Looking for you to team up to play games!" Fang Chen said.

But soon, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "But while I was calling you, I got some good news."

"What good news?" Lu Ran was a little surprised.

But Fang Chen immediately heard a flustered voice.

He just said: "Hmph! My dad is here. Let's talk tomorrow!"

The next day, Lu Ran unexpectedly met Shen Xingran at school before Fang Chen arrived.

Shen Xingran and other students from the Elite Academy were taking outdoor classes.

Unlike the way she begged Gu Ningqi at Gu's house some time ago, Shen Xingran at school had returned to her usual shining self.

When she saw Lu Ran, she even smiled and greeted him, saying,

"Brother, you should go home recently. Dad is in a good mood. Maybe you can have a good chat."

His tone was very gentle, but the amount of information he conveyed was very rich.

Recently, because Lu Ran and Fang Chen have been very close, other people in the school have paid more attention to Lu Ran.

Someone inevitably mentioned the relationship between Lu Ran and the Shen family, which was different from the previous rumors of illegitimate children.

This time it was because of Fang Chen's identity and his attitude towards Lu Ran.

The rumor that Lu Ran is the legitimate young master of the Shen family was confirmed.

Some people with cunning minds began to admire Lu Ran because of his status.

But the information revealed by Shen Xingran's words was very subtle.

Not only did he point out that Lu Ran did not live in the Shen family, but he also implied that Lu Ran had a bad relationship with his family.

Lu Ran completely ignored the family's palace-fighting style of speaking.

But thinking about what he was going to do in the past two days,

he nodded in agreement: "You are right, I should indeed go back."

Hearing Lu Ran's straightforward response, Shen Xingran's face froze.

At this time, Fang Chen also came over and directly pulled Lu Ran away.

After leaving Shen Xingran's group, Fang Chen turned around and looked at Lu Ran again, saying unhappily:

"I don't like your brother very much. Last time I went to your house, he said he wanted to throw Da Huang out."

"If you play with him again in the future, I won't go to find you." Fang Chen said.

Lu Ran rolled his eyes: "How can you see that I want to play with him?"

The kind of play that pushes people into the pile of feces?

Seeing his attitude, Fang Chen was immediately happy.

Lu Ran thought of Shen Xingran's attitude, and frowned and thought for a while.

Fang Chen recalled what happened last night and said excitedly, "Guess what good news I'm going to tell you?"

Lu Ran looked at him, was silent for a moment, and said, "Is your dad going to hand over that project to the Shen family?"

Fang Chen was stunned: "Ah? You know?"

He was surprised and said, "My dad didn't tell me these things. I passed by his study when I called you yesterday and eavesdropped. My dad seemed to be very interested in your family's new technology recently."

Fang Chen shook his head humbly and said,

"Don't thank me, I can't influence my dad's decision. This is still your Shen family's own awesomeness."

Just after he finished speaking, he found that Lu Ran was staring at him with a sullen face.

"You... why are you looking at me like this?" Fang Chen couldn't help but shudder.

Lu Ran reached out and patted his shoulder: "Take back what you just said, we are still good friends." It is

not a good thing for the Shen family to get the project.

It is a great thing for the Shen family to go bankrupt.

Seeing Lu Ran's face was not right, Fang Chen said embarrassedly: "Your family got such a big project, why are you not happy?"

Lu Ran did not hide it from Fang Chen and told him about the mess between himself and the Shen family.

Fang Chen was amazed:

"Wow, there is such a thing, what do your parents want?"

Then he comforted Lu Ran: "I only heard my father boast, and I don't know what the final result will be."

Lu Ran lowered his head and thought for a while, without saying anything.

In the evening, Ji Min called again on video.

He talked to Lu Ran about his recovery.

Ji Min would send messages every day.

But because they hadn't met, the longing was still piling up.

The man sent good news every day.

The wound healed well, the plaster was removed, and a lightweight stent was replaced...

Fang Chen often came to play with Lu Ran.

Because of his family background, Fang Chen was exposed to a lot of new things.

Lu Ran would occasionally go over to play. Fang

Chen, chosen by Ji Min, actually became one of his few friends.

The laboratory project was also completed perfectly, and Lu Ran also got new credits.

It seemed that everything was moving in a good direction.

Now Lu Ran's life seemed to be completely different from his previous life.

But one day, Lu Ran was sitting on the sofa, holding Da Huang.

But suddenly he felt a sense of unreality.

An inexplicable panic surged up.

Lu Ran couldn't help but call Ji Min on video.

The video was quickly connected.

The man in the video was still in good condition as before, and he looked like someone who could make people feel at ease and reliable.

He asked him with a smile: "What's wrong? Why are you contacting me suddenly?"

Lu Ran couldn't help but call him by his old name again: "Boss, can you...can you stand up now?"

"Yes."

As the man moved, the view in the video rose.

Lu Ran immediately became excited, his eyes became bright: "Then can I go to see you?"

After asking this, the man in the video paused and said: "Wait a little longer, it's not possible at the moment."

"Ah?" Lu Ran's expression fell.

Ji Min hurriedly comforted him.

In the next few days, Lu Ran found various times to contact Ji Min,

no matter when he broadcast the video.

The man always looked so decent, as if this surgery, which took a long time to prepare and lasted for more than ten hours, really did not bring him any pain or side effects. However,

Lu Ran was getting more and more uneasy.

Another video call.

He couldn't help but asked, "Can't I really come to see you?"

Ji Min's answer was the same as before, "Not now."

Lu Ran pursed his lips.

He suddenly pointed at the camera of his mobile phone and shouted, "To be honest, you are not AI, are you?"

The man in the video was stunned, and then laughed out of breath.

"Why do you think so?" Ji Min asked.

"I, I..."

Lu Ran hesitated for a long time, and said firmly, "I just feel something is wrong! Do you want to prove that you are not AI face-swapping?"

"Huh? How to prove it?" Ji Min asked with a smile.

"Make a face for me." Lu Ran said.

Ji Min: "..."

He was helpless for a long time, but still followed the boy's request, pulled the corners of his mouth with his fingers, and made a funny face.

Asked: "Is it okay now?"

Lu Ran was half relieved, but not completely relieved.

The next day, after class.

Lu Ran habitually stood at the door of the classroom waiting for Fang Chen to eat together.

After waiting for a while, looking at the crowd pouring out of the teaching building.

Lu Ran suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Ji Min's operation was too smooth.

Obviously, the operation was so thrilling and took more than ten hours, but in the man's mouth, it seemed like just cutting an ordinary tail.

If the operation was so smooth, Ji Min would not have dragged it out for so long.

And Ji Min's arrangements...

In such a short time, Ji Min arranged bodyguards around him.

He prepared a few months of parental commitments.

These parental commitments were not only signed by Ji Min, but also by Butler Chen.

Even Fang Chen was arranged.

Especially Fang Chen.

This man specially found a friend for him to eat, play, and play games with him.

Such thorough preparations...

seemed to let him gradually get used to life without Ji Min.
