Chapter 113: I Have a Date with Lei Feng

  Thank you so much for the super many VIP tickets!!!

  Lorraine looked at the hair in her mother's hand, paused for a moment, and suddenly realized: Ah! It was left by sister Yan when she wore this bathrobe last time.

  Uh, I didn't think Mom's eyes and sense of smell would be so sharp!

  Luolin was slightly stunned, and his father Luo Jianrong and mother Li Hong captured Luolin's fleeting expression. Luo Jianrong paused for a moment, then waved his hand: "Alright, stop making these boring jokes. Eat something quickly, and accompany me to the company later."

  Lorraine knew that her father was doing this to avoid embarrassment. When her mother heard Su Jianrong say this, she also stopped pursuing the matter and sat down to eat after glancing at Lorraine, saying, "Well, let's just eat."

  They also knew that their son was now grown up and would soon be in college, basically at the age where he could start dating. The young people of today were not like those from their generation, some even started having puppy love in junior high school. Regarding this phenomenon, Su Jianrong and Li Hong were clear about it, their only comfort was that their son was becoming more sensible, but along with that came psychological and physical maturity that couldn't be stopped. They could only give him subtle reminders, not letting him become too reckless.

  About ten or twenty minutes later, Su Jianrong and Li Hong finished their breakfast and changed their clothes to prepare for leaving the house. Luolin sent her parents off at the door and asked: "Dad and mom, can I go with you to the company?"

  "What are you going to do? Your father and I have a meeting, we're doing something important. You stay home, Chinese New Year is coming soon, don't run around." Mother said, putting on her coat.

  Lorraine nodded.

  The door opened, and Su Jianrong stepped out for a moment, suddenly turned his head back, and then solemnly instructed: "Put more thought into your studies. If you can really get into Jinghua University, I'll buy you a car."

  "Really? That's great!" Loring put on a happy face, but actually he didn't have much desire for any vehicle from the bottom of his heart. He knew that this was one of his father's ways to encourage himself, while reminding him to focus more on studying for now, and in a way, sounding an alarm for himself not to think about other useless things. The little episode at breakfast earlier, his father didn't say anything, but understood it very well.

  After his parents left, Lorraine continued to go on her own way.

  This New Year's passed by very casually. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Luolin followed her parents to visit her uncle's house. She couldn't help but feel that her uncle's gaze was full of meaning. Luolin understood in her heart that some things she had done in the past half year must have already reached her all-knowing uncle's ears in Zhenzhou City.

  Lorraine was quite natural and calm about it. Anyway, he knew that his uncle would not tell his parents those things, because apart from worrying them, there was no use at all.

  After the Chinese New Year, my parents were preparing to return to Yanjing. Luolin asked if he could go to Yanjing to visit his grandfather who was working in the military zone. However, this proposal was rejected by my parents, saying that now his grandfather was busy with work and didn't even have time to rest during the Chinese New Year. They told him to wait until he got into a university in Beijing before going to see him.

  Helpless, Lorraine had no choice but to compromise.

  After his parents left Zongzhou, Luoluo felt lonely again. However, he quite enjoyed this kind of loneliness. Because it was very quiet, and in the stillness, he could think clearly about many things.

  Sometimes, Lorraine feels that this life is just a scam. A small deception here and there, as the years go by, crushing and rolling out a huge lie. From childhood, someone always tells you not to lie, but in order to grow up and survive in this world, you must first learn to lie. This is contradictory, but it reveals the inferiority of human nature. There are many voices around telling you: you have to be number one, get into a famous university, make a lot of money, have a house and a car, inherit the family legacy, and rush about for your child's milk powder money. And so, this life just passes by in a daze.

  If you are willing to stop and think about it, you will find that there is always an invisible force and inertia pulling your nose along the way, all the way to the Western Sky.

  This world is getting busier and busier, but it has formed a solid circle with layers of walls. From the day people are born and become conscious, they are destined to be busy running around in circles, without any time to stop and ask themselves: why?

  Because once you stop, you will be surpassed by others and ruthlessly abandoned by the fast-paced life. So it is destined that no one can escape their fate.

  Unless one day you can stand at the peak and look down on all things.

  Lorin sometimes even thinks that the existence of this world is just a conspiracy, and that the powerful conspirators hiding behind the scenes are trying to numb everyone's thinking with material desires, making people think that life is just birth, aging, illness, and death, just a dull and suffocating process from obscure birth to obscure death.

  If it is said that everyone's life lives in a conspiracy, then this conspirator is undoubtedly the real strongman, who skillfully weaves a soul-stirring net filled with seven emotions and six desires, using human selfish desires to control the world.

  What kind of temperament is this? Who can possess it?

  Lorraine was overly confident, thinking that becoming this supreme ruler was the lifelong goal she had to strive for. This is somewhat arrogant, but what can be done? You're arrogant and can't escape death, you're not arrogant and still end up with one death. Life only has this one lifetime, it's not about being worthy of yourself, but about being worthy of this cruel human game that may pass in a flash, perhaps in just a few decades.

  Pessimistic people are worried about the impermanence of life and the brevity of divine providence. Optimistic people laugh and sing, treating life as a play that goes on year after year.

  After all, attitude determines everything, including your destiny.

  He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. The phone, which had been silent for two days, suddenly rang.

  "Huh?" Lorraine snapped back to reality, tossing aside those perhaps somewhat laughable life epiphanies, and opened her phone to check the incoming call display. She thought it was Jiang Yan's message, but unexpectedly, it was an unfamiliar number.

  He paused for a moment and remembered this unfamiliar number. It was the honest guy who had sent him a text message a few days ago to ask if he was the owner of the lost phone.

  Open the message box, and the content is like this: Hello, do you still remember me? I am Lei Feng's sister.

  Luo Lin was immediately speechless, but at this time he didn't have anything important to do, and suddenly he didn't know what kind of elegant interest he had, and actually started chatting with a stranger: Sister Lei Feng? ... Desecrating the deceased, teasing great men, and arbitrarily changing someone's gender is very unkind.

  Very soon, a response came from the other side, and the speed was not slow. I guess it's a young person, because older people basically use mobile phones to make calls and send text messages, and young people are still in the majority.

  But you got my gender wrong, I'm a girl.

  Oh.

  Do you have time? Let's meet up and I'll return your phone.

  Didn't I give it to you?

  Sorry, no pay for no work, I have a mobile phone, don't need it.

  Lorraine couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration. This young woman who sent the text message was indeed a bit paranoid. But it's also possible that this is a scam, similar to those where they make up an excuse to lure you out and then kidnap or extort you when you meet up.

  But Lorin was not afraid of these things. On the contrary, the person on the other end of the phone call sparked his interest.

  Maybe it's because of the boredom of the past two days during the New Year that he had the mind to take an interest in a strange paranoid person. He replied unexpectedly: Okay, you tell me the time and place.

  After waiting for a while, they finally sent a message: 3 pm, Central Plaza North Entrance.

  Three o'clock in the afternoon?

  Lorraine looked up at the time, it was already 2:30. This girl really knew how to make an appointment. But it didn't matter now, leaving from home and arriving somewhere should take about two hours and fifty minutes.

  Thinking of this, Lorraine changed her clothes and casually tidied up before walking out the door.

  He hailed a taxi as soon as he stepped out, got in and said, "Central Plaza North Entrance, thanks driver."

  "Vroom—" The taxi sped away quickly.

  About ten or twenty minutes later, the taxi arrived at Central Square. Lorraine wasn't a fool and didn't choose to stop directly in front of the north entrance of Central Mall. Instead, he stopped on the opposite side of the road, where there happened to be a small garden. Lorraine paid the fare, got out of the car, and stood in the garden, looking towards the north entrance of Central Mall with his excellent eyesight. Amidst the hustle and bustle, he noticed that there was always a beautiful long-haired girl wearing a white down jacket and a dark blue jeans standing there, occasionally glancing around.

  Although her facial features are not very clear, I can distinctly feel the noble and elegant temperament emanating from her, a slightly immature face that exudes a sense of nobility and dignity. This is related to family education and upbringing, which naturally reveals itself in every gesture, and cannot be feigned.

  It should be her fault after all.

  Lorraine deliberately observed the surroundings of this girl for a while, except for the people strolling around the shopping mall, there were no suspicious individuals at all. This shouldn't be some kind of trap. In fact, if you want to talk about suspicion, I don't know whether those men who pass by the north entrance of the mall and keep looking back at this girl should count as suspicious or not.

  Hehe, this little girl is really a silly head, for a picked-up mobile phone, she's willing to go through so much trouble. In this cold and cruel society, it's truly rare.

  Luo Lin walked up to the overpass with his hands in his pockets, smiling, and slowly crossed to the other side of the road. However, as he got closer and closer, the beautiful girl's face became clearer and clearer, Luo Lin's expression became more and more astonished...

  Just as they were about to walk down the overpass, Lorraine finally saw the girl's fair and lovely face clearly, and immediately stopped in her tracks, blinking her eyes for a long time...

  What the...?! Isn't this... Han Dabanjang?!?!
