In a trance, I saw the man lifting his eyes and smiling at her.

"Xiaobai," he always liked to call her this.

Bai Ran's eyes became more and more blurred, "Gu Ling..."

The man shook his hands in front of her, "Miss, you recognize the wrong person. I'm not the Gu Ling in your mouth."

Bai ran just recovered, but he saw a strange face in front of him.

She quickly lowered her head and refused to let a stranger see her emotions.

"Sorry,"

The man seemed to sigh, "I just noticed you. Have you been crying here for a long time?"

Bai ran shook his head hard. "No, you must have read it wrong."

The man didn't pierce Bai Ran's lie. He just smiled and handed his hand to Bai ran, "let's play a game."

"Guess what's inside. If you guess right, I'll give it to you."

Bai ran looked at him with crazy eyes.

play a game?

Does she know him well?

The man didn't care. He still smiled gently. "Guess, if you guessed right, give it to you. If you guessed wrong, there will be a reward."

Wrong guess and reward?

Is there nothing wrong with this man's brain?

But Bai Ran's mood was strangely better. Anyway, she didn't suffer if she guessed right or wrong.

"Coins?" Bai ran tried to speak.

The man shook his head. "No, guess again. I'll give you another chance."

Bai ran stared at the man's hand and frowned. For a long time, she spit out an uncertain answer, "it's not a coin, is it... Candy?"

The man smiled and spread out his palm. A small candy was lying quietly in his palm.

"Soldiers keep their word," the man handed over his hand. "This sugar is for you."

Bai ran hesitated and refused to answer. She really doubted the stranger's intentions.

The man raised his eyebrows. He showed the medal on his chest to Bai ran. "In the imperial capital, no one dares to pretend to be a soldier."

Bai ran hesitated and finally slowly took the candy from the man.

"Thank you."

The man shook his head. He paused, then took out a big bag of candy from his pocket and handed it to Bai ran.

"It's all for me?" Bai ran doubted the man's uneasy kindness again.

"This is the reward you guessed right."

Bai ran was stunned.

Guess the right reward?

Did she just hear wrong?

Without waiting for Bai ran to say anything, the man directly stuffed the candy into Bai Ran's hand, and then walked away quickly.

After taking a few steps, he stopped again, "Oh, by the way, miss, this bag of sugar was not given to you for nothing. The officer didn't like to see people cry, so he wanted this bag of sugar..." the man coughed awkwardly and ran away quickly.

Bai ran looked at the candy on his hand and blinked.

So, this bag of sugar was bought by the man's officer to block her mouth?

Bai Ran's eyebrows suddenly jumped up.

The officer treated her as a child and coaxed her with candy not to cry!

Bai ran stood there and looked at the candy angrily, but after a long time, the red on her face slowly spread from her ears to her neck.

So, just now, the man and his officer saw her cry?

Bai ran quickly wiped his eyes, looked up and swept around, but found that there was a man just staring at himself near a big tree not far away.

Bai ran was startled.

That look didn't even blink.

Bai ran didn't know how much he had just seen. He could only grin and say hello.

Shen Mu is a complete stranger to her.

Even, she didn't remember what Shen Mu looked like.

Although the man gave her a sense of inexplicable familiarity, Bai ran still didn't take it to heart.

After greeting, Bai ran quickly put away his smile and ran to the villa.

Shen Mu subconsciously raises her feet to keep up with her, but finally, she takes it back silently.

He looked at Bai Ran's back and silently opened his mouth.

It was not until Bai Ran's figure disappeared at the iron gate of the villa that Shen Mu mockingly raised his lips, finally took back his eyes and returned to the car.

Shortly after Shen Mu's car left, another car suddenly drove out of the corner.

"Sir, all the things you asked me to buy have been given to the young lady." the man talking was the man who had just given Bai ran candy.

The man sat in the driving position and looked at the officer in the rearview mirror. His words were full of confusion. "Sir, do you know this lady? Otherwise, why do you send her candy so kindly?"

The man called "officer" paused. He glanced out of the window, but there was no small figure anymore.

"Go back." he lowered his eyes and didn't answer positively.

"Yes, sir."

After the car went farther and farther, the man raised his eyelids slightly and silently squirmed his lips.

No one heard his voice.

"Because I don't like to see her cry."

Bai ran didn't know how long she had been out, but when she returned to the villa, Ji Xinqing was already sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

"Where have you been?" Ji Xinqing asked.

Bai ran shook the candy on her hands and smiled brightly, as if she was not the one who had just squatted on the road and cried bitterly.

"This is not greedy. I went to the nearby supermarket to buy something to eat."

Ji Xinqing frowned, but finally believed her words.

Bai ran untied a candy in time and sent it to Ji Xinqing's mouth, "come on, you eat one, and let the baby taste what sugar is."

Untie one and send it to his mouth. Bai ran was stunned by the familiar taste.

She saw a few small words written on the package of candy.

Green apple.

It's her favorite flavor.

It should be... By chance.

"Why are you stunned? Did you hear what I just said?" Ji Xinqing interrupted Bai Ran's trance.

"Ah?" Bai ran was stunned. "What did you say?"

Ji Xinqing had to repeat her words patiently, "I've told sister-in-law Li to clean up a guest room for you. See what's missing. If it's missing, do you want me to go out with you later?"

Bai ran was frightened.

Let Xinqing go out with her?

She peeked at the stairs.

Nothing happened.

Fortunately, Bai ran exhaled. Fortunately, the man upstairs didn't hear it.

Bai ran quickly waved his hand, "come on, Ji Xinqing, you pregnant woman with a big belly, just have a good rest in the villa. I'll go out alone."

Sister-in-law Li just came in from the courtyard.

Bai ran looked at sister-in-law Li and hurriedly said, "Xinqing, if you really don't trust me, I can let sister-in-law Li accompany me out to buy."

Sister-in-law Li was stunned for a moment, and then came over with a smile.

"Yes, little lady, just stay in the villa. If you go out, not only the young master is not at ease, but I am also not at ease. Just give Miss Bai ran to me."

Ji Xinqing couldn't stick to anything, so she had to promise.

Sister Li prepared everything in the guest room, except Bai Ran's change of clothes.

Bai ran refused to buy new clothes. Sister-in-law Li didn't trust her and had no choice but to follow her to the small apartment where she used to live.

The car was blocked when it reached the door of the community.

Bai ran frowned at a group of reporters blocked at the door of the community.
