The Little Sweet Cutie always think that he is a stand-in - CH 17

Song Zhi Xu knew that this time Lin Ran was scared. He already told Lin Ran in the morning that he would call him ahead to inform him, but just now he had gotten busy so he didn’t check the time, moreover his assistant also didn’t tell him and went over directly at the approximate time.

Lin Ran’s personality was originally timid and overcautious therefore suddenly a stranger entered the courtyard and arrived at the villa door, he must be really frightened.

Song Zhi Xu softened his voice and said, “Ran Ran, don’t be afraid, it’s my fault for not informing you in advance, now the person outside has left, so open the door and bring the things in, okay?”

Lin Ran gave a small “Hmm”, but after a while he whispered again, “Then… Song Zhi Xu, don’t hang up the phone, okay?”

“Okay, I won’t hang up, you take the phone and open the door.” Song Zhi Xu promised him.

Only then did Lin Ran stand up and slowly open the door, which opened a crack, and after he made sure that there was no one outside he quickly brought the things in and closed the door again.

Song Zhi Xu didn’t say anything. Lin Ran called Song Zhi Xu’s name a few more times, he didn’t let out a sigh of relief until Song Zhi Xu answered him.

For the first time, Lin Ran saw food and did not have an appetite. He carefully put it on the table before then crouched down in the gap between the table and the side table, said in a low voice to Song Zhi Xu.

Song Zhi Xu’s secretary brought in his lunch at the moment and he also tidied up the things on the table and went to the side table to eat.

Only then did he casually ask Lin Ran again, “Ran Ran, are you having lunch?”

Lin Ran shook his head and only after he remembered that Song Zhi xu was not next to him (and saw him nodding), did he say in a low voice, “No, Ran Ran…don’t want to eat.”

Song Zhi Xu frowned slightly: “Is the food not to your liking?”

“No, Ran Ran… Ran Ran just missed Song Zhi Xu.” Lin Ran glanced at the lunch box on the table and held the phone tightly.

Song Zhi Xu was silent for a long time and finally said, “Eat first, I’ll go back at night.”

“Ran Ran can’t eat anymore. Can I keep it?”

Song Zhi Xu naturally agreed. These days, he had often accompanied Lin Ran to eat the leftover foods and fortunately he didn’t mind it either, so he went along with Lin Ran.

Only then did Lin Ran obediently stand up and put the leftovers in the fridge. He carefully washed the chopsticks and spoons taken from inside the lunchbox.

He was lying on the sofa as he talked to Song Zhi Xu who spent most of the time listening to him, occasionally replying, and then Lin Ran would continue rambling on and talking non stop.

Not knowing how long he had been lying on the sofa, but his sleepiness came over him and in a daze, Lin Ran then fell asleep

Song Zhi Xu was looking at the company’s documents, after a long time, he then realized that no one was talking on the other side of the phone.

He called him again, “Ran Ran?” There was no answer from the other side, only the sound of indistinct and steady breathing.

He knew that Lin Ran probably fell asleep. He looked at the phone for a moment and was somewhat surprised to see that the call had been going on for more than two hours.

He never liked to talk nonsense, so he never talked on the phone for a long time. He even didn’t have that much patience to listen to his mother’s occasional nagging, but this time he unexpectedly didn’t feel bored or annoyed listening to Lin Ran talking for so long.

When he came back to his senses, Song Zhi Xu hung up the phone straight away.

He was really not normal now, or to be precise, his attitude toward Lin Ran was not normal, which was not a good thing for him.

Song Zhi Xu rubbed his forehead with some irritation and forced himself to turn his attention back to the paperwork.

Lin Ran fell asleep as he lay on the sofa and took a nap, waiting until he woke up yet he was still alone in the villa, with the phone next to him.

Before he was really sober and awake, he called Song Zhi Xu’s name again into the phone, but after waiting for a long time, no one answered.

Lin Ran knew that Song Zhi Xu had hung up.

Lin Ran sat on the sofa for quite a while, then got up to get some water and started wiping the furniture. After wiping all the furniture downstairs, he toughened his aching back and began to wash the clothes.

He didn’t have many dirty clothes since he had only stayed there for a few days. Most of the laundry belonged to Song Zhi Xu so he carried them to the bathroom and washed them one by one by hand.

Although the summer clothes were not difficult to wash, Lin Ran wanted to wash Song Zhi Xu’s clothes especially clean, so he used a lot of strength and it didn’t take a long time for his hands to become red.

But it was especially satisfying for him to do something for Song Zhi Xu.

6 p.m

Song Zhi Xu shut his computer down when it was already time to go back. He stood up to leave, but stopped by his assistant who came in just as he reached the door.

The assistant had some doubts: “Boss, you have a dinner party with Boss Wu tonight, so where are you going?”

This time, Song Zhi Xu also suddenly remembered it just now, yet he didn’t stop his steps.

“Get someone to go on my behalf, I’ll be the host for Boss Wu’s dinner in a few days. Today, I’ll go home first.” After saying that, Song Zhi Xu didn’t stop his step anymore and left with big steps.

The assistant saw his back and thought of the person he saw inside the floor-to-ceiling window during the day, so he didn’t stop him anymore.

He had to go and for the time being, get the company manager to go and deal with it.

Song Zhi Xu drove all the way back to the villa, opened the door yet there was no one inside the villa but there were some noises coming from the bathroom.

Song Zhi Xu didn’t get close, he just called him out, “Lin Ran?”

He heard a sound coming from the bathroom, followed by the door being opened quickly from the inside. Lin Ran came running out from it, wet and with some foam on his forehead.

Seeing Song Zhi Xu, his eyes lit up, with his bare feet, he quickly ran to Song Zhi Xu, put forth a lot of strength as he jumping into his arms, hugging his waist tightly and rubbing his cheek against his chest, rubbing the foam on his forehead onto Song Zhi Xu’s clothes.

Song Zhi Xu’s western style suit with his overcoat wasn’t buttoned and he only wore a white shirt underneath. Lin Ran’s clothes had long been soaked through with water and as soon as it was pressed against him the water stained his shirt and he felt the cold and the wetness.

“Lin Ran? What are you doing?”

Lin Ran lifted his head from Song Zhi Xu’s embrace and smiled brightly at him.

“Ran Ran is washing Song Zhi Xu’s clothes ah.” Lin Ran leaned into Song Zhi Xu’s arms, sniffing Song Zhi Xu’s smell like a puppy.

He really missed Song Zhi Xu too much.

Song Zhi Xu looked at Lin Ran whose entire body was covered in water and showed a trace expression of helplessness. He pushed Lin Ran away from his embrace, pulled his wrist, and walked him back to the bathroom.

After he pushed the door open, he just realized that Lin Ran had found two large basins, one for the clothes that had already been washed while the other one filled with water and placed on the floor.

The fully automatic washing machine was right next to him, but to think that this little fool actually washed the clothes with his hands.

Song Zhi Xu held Lin Ran’s hand as he took a look at it, his entire palm’s skin already wrinkled, his hands also red and a little swollen. He is already like this, yet the little fool was still smiling at him.
