C312 His Heart
"Speaking of which, that's true. What, Master wants to give me a compensation?" Pei Luoluo wiped her mouth. Her clothes were full and she did not forget to knock on the bamboo stick again.
"Yes, I really have something for you!" Zhang Chen looked at the mess on the dining table that was left with only the plates, and raised his chin, as if he was asking Pei Luoluo if she had eaten enough.
Pei Luoluo was slightly stunned, then nodded and followed Zhang Chen out of the restaurant.
Sitting in the car, Pei Luoluo curiously asked Zhang Chen what kind of gift it was a few times, but Zhang Chen just kept silent and did not answer. It seemed that it would be a very mysterious Surface.
This feeling made Pei Luoluo's heart itch, and she looked forward to it even more.
In the end, Pei Luoluo was brought to Zhang Chen's apartment building. When she was still looking at Zhang Chen with a blank expression, she waited for a very calm sentence. "The gift is at home. I will go and get it for you."
Pei Luoluo pouted. Zhang Chen ignored her exaggerated appearance and opened the car door to enter the apartment.
He originally wanted to invite Pei Luoluo to sit back on the car, but when he thought that there might be some people following behind them quietly and countless pairs of eyes were looking at them, he felt uncomfortable.
He did not want Pei Luoluo to be called away by Xiao Yichen before she could even warm up her butt in his house.
It was only a few minutes up and down, but when Zhang Chen returned to the car again, he did not see her.
Zhang Chen's hand trembled and almost dropped the thing in his hand. He opened the car door and quickly checked the situation inside. There were no signs of dragging or struggling. The things in the car were intact in the corner they should be in. He stepped out of the car again and began to look around in panic. In the end, he picked up his phone and prepared to make a call.
His eyes were panicked and even a little angry. He stood in the front of the car and punched the hood. The pain made him even more irritable. He had been gentle and refined just now, but now he had the urge to tear people apart.
Pei Luoluo, who was in broad daylight, actually disappeared from under his eyes! She had actually disappeared from his hands! The more Zhang Chen thought about it, the more he lost his normal thinking ability. His mind was in a mess. It caused him to fall into a deep abyss of panic. He did not even notice that a figure had walked to his side.
He was not worried that Pei Luoluo would not be able to explain to Xiao Yichen if something happened to her when she was with him. Instead, he found that he could not bear the fact that he had lost Pei Luoluo. He had always thought of himself as Master and had never crossed realms. But now... The more worried he was, the more terrifying the scenes appeared in his mind. He was even more unable to control his own emotions.
He had just said that he would help her fend off the wind and rain in the future. How could he lose her!?
"Master?" He felt that someone had patted him on the shoulder with a very slight force. Then, with a soft call, it pulled him back to his thoughts like a savior.
Zhang Chen did not seem to have recovered from his thoughts. He almost turned around in the next second and held Pei Luoluo tightly in his arms. He was anxious and relieved as if he had found a treasure. "Where did you go?"
As soon as he said that, Zhang Chen found that his voice had gone mute.
"I went to buy water. I'm thirsty. You don't even have a bottle of mineral water in your car." Pei Luoluo pouted and handed a bottle to Zhang Chen.
"And I sent you WeChat. Didn't you see it?" Pei Luoluo said as she drank half of the mineral water. She was really thirsty. However, she did not expect that after leaving for a while, she would see Zhang Chen's furious look from afar when she came back. That scene of him smashing the hood and that pair of cold and angry eyes. She felt that it was very strange in her eyes.
No matter which side Zhang Chen was on, she had seen it before. Other than this kind of fury, she had never seen it before.
"Wechat... WeChat?" Zhang Chen seemed to be in a trance as he took out his phone. Sure enough, there was a Wechat message notification on the top left corner of the phone.
"Master, don't be too nervous. I'm not a priceless jewel. Who would stare at me and kidnap me for no reason? Besides, aren't Xiao Yichen's men following us? "
Pei Luoluo's reminder still did not let Zhang Chen feel at ease. He had just entered the trap or his mind had not recovered yet, so he did not let go of Pei Luoluo's hand.
"Master, I am going to be strangled to death." Pei Luoluo raised her hand and patted Zhang Chen's back, trying to comfort him.
But before her hand could touch the body that was still trembling, it was pulled away.
"Sorry, I was too anxious just now." Zhang Chen forced a smile, but what was reflected on his face was a bitter smile.
In Pei Luoluo's eyes, what she saw was melancholy, sadness, and heartache entanglement. These feelings interweaved together, making her suddenly unable to understand.
She only walked away for a while, really just for a while! The convenience store was within Zhang Chen's line of sight. In just three to five minutes, Zhang Chen almost went crazy.
When Pei Luoluo had this thought, she suddenly understood another thing.
No matter how nervous a person was, it was determined by the depth of their emotions. If Zhang Chen was like this, anyone with a brain would understand what was going on.
"Gift?" Pei Luoluo stretched out her hand, wanting to ease the heavy atmosphere.
"Ah? Yes! A gift!" Zhang Chen let out a sigh. He reached out his palm to Pei Luoluo and opened it. It was a rectangular red box.
"Thank you, Master!" Pei Luoluo smiled like a child. She took the box and asked with anticipation, "Can I open it now?"
Seeing Zhang Chen nod slightly, Pei Luoluo opened the box in the next second. Then, her expression froze.
"This..." She opened her mouth and did not say anything for a long time.
"Yes, this is the doll you saw last time when you were rushing to the Peach Blossom Market. I felt that its charm was somewhat similar to yours, so I bought it. I originally wanted to send you back, but you left in a hurry that night. " Zhang Chen pursed his lips and smiled. He also saw Pei Luoluo's dazed expression.
She still remembered this clay doll with silver hair accessories. It was wearing a top that exposed the navel of a few famous families. It was not as long as a knee short skirt. There were complicated but very beautiful patterns carved on it. Especially the smile on its face, which seemed to be really vivid and lifelike, just like a miniature version of a real person's doll. At that time, she picked it up and looked at it for quite a while. Zuo Xin thought that she liked it and specially picked it for her for a long time. Only then did she say that the one in her hand really resembled her.
Now that she looked closely, it really looked very similar. The way they dressed was very similar to Pei Luoluo, who was also wearing the clothes of a minority clan back then.
It was just that at that time, she felt that beautiful things might not be practical. She was used to living a life of struggling with reality. In her eyes, these little things were a luxury. No matter how beautiful they were, it was not within her scope of consideration.
However, she did not expect that Zhang Chen actually saw it and bought it.
