Chapter 93, Guarding the Secret

Late at night, when Jiang Ran was in a drowsy sleep, she felt the person holding her arm carefully let go, got up and left the room.

The footsteps went away, Jiang Ran opened his eyes, and walked lightly to the door of the room.Seeing Si Xu entered the study, she didn't follow directly.

"Let him go there alone, will he tear down the study?" Si Xu must go to the study now because of the materials that Qin Huai didn't find. "We agreed to look for it together tomorrow. He is so sneaky. Is there something that I can't know?"

The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. Just as Jiang Ran was about to go out and follow up to have a look, he heard footsteps coming out of the study.

She quickly ran back to the bed, covered the quilt and closed her eyes, pretending nothing happened.

……

Not realizing that the girl was still awake, Si Xu relaxed his movements and got into the quilt, and waited for the cold air around him to dissipate before reaching out and hugging the girl into his arms again.

It seems he came back empty-handed?Still haven't found what you're looking for?
Eyes opened slightly, Jiang Ran squirmed and moved up.

"Don't move." The man tightened his arms around her waist and said vaguely, "Are you awake?"

"Didn't fall asleep." Jiang Ran poked his chest when the little trick was discovered, "What did you just do?"

"Go find something."

"material?"

"No."

"Then you..." Looking for something in Jiang's study?What could make Si Xu run to the study in the middle of the night like this?

"It's nothing important, go to sleep."

"Oh." Thinking that this person had worked with Jiang Yize for so long, Jiang Yize might have some special entrustment, Jiang Ran didn't insist on asking, "Good night, Si Xu."

……

Good night……

"Dye-ran~Dye-ran~"

With the first memory of the dream, Jiang Ran was already immune to the sound.You don't need to open your eyes to know who is calling her.

"Jiang Ran, wake up!" the man yelled impatiently, and lifted the quilt directly, "Little aunt and uncle have been waiting for you downstairs for a long time, get up quickly!"

"I don't remember..." The little girl turned over, hugging the quilt and refusing to let go, "Shen Yang, don't make noise, let me sleep for another 10 minutes."

"Still sleeping? You slept all morning, and now you have slept for more than two hours. Are you the reincarnation of a koala?" The young man grabbed her, "Get up! Hurry up! It's snowing outside, why don't you come and take a look? "

snow?The little girl got up quickly, staring at her disheveled hair, got out of bed and ran to the window to look out.

"Wow, is it really snowing?" The little girl opened her eyes wide and stared at the flying snowflakes for a moment. When the boy took the slippers and put them at her feet, she stepped on the slippers and grabbed the boy's hand, "The big watch Brother, is Xiaobai going to come back with Dad this time?"

"What Xiaobai, that's your second cousin." The young man took her by the collar and threw it into the cloakroom, "Xiaobai is going to cram school, so I don't have time to come over—you change your clothes yourself, little aunt is going to pick up uncle, you Change your clothes and come down by yourself."

"Ow."

Jiang Ran's eyes followed the little girl, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.

At the entrance of the living room, the man who had just entered shook off the snow from his body, took off his coat and handed it to his wife. After the two whispered something, the man leaned over and kissed his lover's forehead.

The little girl raised her hand to cover her eyes, and let out a long snort, causing both of them to look at her.

Seeing the little girl looking down from the crack in the railing of the stairs, the man smiled and called her name: "Ranran."

The little girl ran downstairs on short legs and stopped in front of the man: "Father, welcome back, you have worked hard."

"You girl, why is your mouth so sweet all of a sudden?" The man laughed, rubbing the top of the little girl's hair, "Do you miss Dad?"

The little girl hummed: "It's okay..."

Man: "..." showing a sad expression, "Didn't Ranran miss Dad at all?"

The little girl had sour teeth: "Dad, your expression is so ugly..."

Man: "..." This time I was completely hit.

After listening to the father and daughter dislike each other, the woman who hung up the coat leaned over and hugged the little girl, but she said to the man: "The plum blossoms in the garden are blooming—the plum blossoms you brought to that child last time." , does he like it?"

Mentioning the child, the happy smile on the man's face disappeared.

He pursed his lips, and said in a bitter voice, "I like it—although, he still doesn't know what liking is."

"Ah." The little girl raised her hand, "What about the big white rabbit I gave him? Does he like it?"

Looking at his daughter's immature face, the man raised the corner of his mouth and said softly: "He likes it very much, and asked me to thank you."

"That's good." The little girl said seriously, "No one in this world can resist the charm of the big white rabbit."

"Haha, you are trying to find an excuse for yourself to eat candy, little girl."

"Hmph, that's right."

Unlike the short dream last time, this time, time passed through the dream all night until the man left the next day.

"Ranran, Dad is going to work, Ranran has to be obedient at home, you know?"

"it is good."

"Don't fight with your brother, you know?"

"I didn't fight with my brother."

"Yes, you just beat him unilaterally."

"..."

Be obedient, don't fight with your brother, let alone beat him unilaterally...

After Jiang Ran woke up from the dream, the man's exhortations still echoed in his mind, causing him a headache.

However, compared to the headache, she finally remembered something very important.

……

Under the plum blossom tree, feeling that the other end of the shovel touched a hard object, Si Xufang moved lightly to clean up the soil around the iron box.

Jiang Ran squatted aside, looked at the iron box showing a little bit of its original shape, and clenched his fists to cheer up Si Xu: "Be careful, Si Xu, don't break it."

"Yeah." Throwing the shovel, he took out the iron box and put it aside, Si Xu looked at the lock hole on the box, "I need a key."

"Here." Jiang Ran handed him the key, "I got this key back from Luo Rui - now that I think about it, I'm so witty."

In the dream, she saw that Jiang Yize buried the box here, and then gave the key to Shen Muxin.

"I did a little bit of manipulation inside this thing. If you force it to open it, the strong acid on the top of the box will destroy all the data. This is the only key. You should keep it safe."

"Yize, why are you giving me this...?"

"If in the future... that thing really leaks out of the laboratory in the future, you remember, take this key to Dongchao City to find a person named Si Nian, she will know what to do next."

"But……"

"This is the only way to protect you—Mumu, if I'm alone, I can't stop their plan at all, so...the only thing I can do is to protect you and Ranran."

Even in her dream, she could feel the sadness and determination of the man when he said these words.

At that time, Shen Muxin took over the key - if so, how could she commit suicide?
That woman, who was clearly prepared to take over from her husband to guard the secret, how could she die in love?
……

As Jiang Ran expected, the box contained all the information related to the virus—published and unpublished, all of Jiang Yize's research results.

After reading it once, Si Xu packed it in a file bag and stuffed it into his own space.

By the way, the man's eyes stayed on the plum tree for a long time.

Jiang Ran stopped walking back to the house in doubt: "Si Xu?"

What's wrong with this plum tree...?

"Jiang Ran, do you like plum blossoms?"

"...It's okay." Jiang Ran said honestly, "Actually, I don't have any flowers that I like very much."

"That's it." There was some regret in the tone, "Jiang Ran, don't you think plum blossoms are beautiful?"

pretty?

He won't... want to stuff this plum tree into the space and take it away with him?
