【78】Is this Ran-Ran expressing his love to Brother? (Two-in-one) part 1

The passerby frowned. “WK? What is that place?”

“It’s a training base!” Li Fenlan was a bit anxious. “A place for playing games!”

The person shook their head. “Don’t know.”

“How can you not know?” Li Fenlan grabbed the person’s sleeve tightly. “WK, isn’t it very famous?”

“I already said I don’t know, stop pulling me!” The person got unhappy too. “Can’t you check a map?”

Only then did Li Fenlan resentfully let go and downloaded a map app on her phone.

She checked where the WK Base was.

But they had gotten off at the high-speed railway station, which wasn’t close to the WK Base at all. It would take over an hour by taxi.

Li Fenlan couldn’t bear to spend that much money, so she and Zhao Quan transferred buses three times before barely arriving.

The WK Base was even bigger than what they had seen on the phone. Zhao Quan’s eyes gleamed. “Living in such a good place, he definitely has money!”

But he also felt it was unfair. “Tch, isn’t he just a stinking gamer? Who knows what methods he used.”

“Wait a moment, you should pretend a little,” Li Fenlan smoothed her hair, making it look a bit messy. “I told you, Wen Ran responds to soft approaches, not hard ones.”

“As long as we get the money!”

The two walked to the entrance. Just as Li Fenlan was about to step inside, she was stopped.

“What are you doing? Outsiders aren’t allowed here.”

The tall security guard looked even stronger than Zhao Quan, so the two dared not act rashly. Li Fenlan smiled apologetically, “I’m here to find someone. Wen Ran, I’m his mother.”

The security guard naturally knew his team’s player. The kid had a pretty good relationship with him usually, but he had never heard Wen Ran mention his parents or family.

A bit suspicious.

“Dawn’s mother?” The security guard glanced at her. “Then didn’t you know they went to play a match recently?”

“Huh?” Li Fenlan was stunned. She knew nothing about esports to begin with, and certainly didn’t know Wen Ran had a match to play. Faced with the security guard’s question, she couldn’t answer at all.

“Also, Dawn hasn’t returned yet. Didn’t you message him?”

Li Fenlan was a bit nervous. “I…”

“Little Za… Ran-Ran had a bit of a conflict with us recently. You know how kids are,” Zhao Quan spoke up to the security guard. “That’s why his mom and I came to see him.”

Li Fenlan immediately nodded along. “Mn, mn, right!”

“That child Ran-Ran, he wasn’t willing to tell us anything.”

The security guard was skeptical but didn’t let them in. “Dawn and the others haven’t returned yet. In principle, the base doesn’t allow outsiders to enter casually. But I can ask him when he returns.”

“Or if you have anything you want to bring him, I can send it up for you.”

Li Fenlan and Zhao Quan looked at each other. They had come to ask for money; they were empty-handed and couldn’t possibly have brought anything for Wen Ran.

And this security guard was stubborn. They could only plan for the long term.

“Sorry to trouble you, Big Brother,” Li Fenlan smiled obsequiously. “We booked a restaurant and wanted to eat with Ran-Ran. How about this—there’s no overnight feud between mother and son—I’ll call him again to contact him. No need for you to worry.”

Li Fenlan had thought it through thoroughly. If she met Wen Ran alone to ask for money, Wen Ran likely wouldn’t give it. But if it was in front of his teammates or other people, Wen Ran couldn’t ignore what others would say.

If the security guard notified him, Wen Ran might cut off their path completely.

“Playing matches my ass, so much trouble!”

Zhao Quan gritted his teeth. “This little bastard really knows how to live!”

Li Fenlan ignored his cursing. “He’s not here now anyway. It’s useless for us to look.”

“Then what do you say we do?”

Li Fenlan thought carefully. “Didn’t the guard say he hasn’t returned yet? That means he’ll definitely be back in the next two days.”

“We’ll just guard the entrance and wait for him,” Li Fenlan said. “Keep a lookout then!”

Zhao Quan nodded in agreement.

His stomach rumbled. Zhao Quan cursed, then said, “I’m starving. Let’s go get some food first.”

The WK Base was in a relatively prosperous area with many large shopping malls and restaurants nearby.

“Since we’re here, let’s find a nice place.” Zhao Quan walked straight into a restaurant that looked expensive. Li Fenlan tried to pull his sleeve but couldn’t stop him.

“Why are you pulling me?”

Li Fenlan reminded him in a low voice, “Brother Quan, we didn’t bring much money. This place looks very expensive.”

Zhao Quan looked at her with disdain. “Look at your limited vision. We’re about to get millions, and you’re worried about one good meal?”

“We finally came out for a trip. Don’t you want to taste what your ‘good son’ eats every day?”

Zhao Quan put heavy emphasis on “good son.” Li Fenlan could only press her lips together and follow behind.

She knew all too well that Zhao Quan liked to enjoy himself. Although he could tolerate things like taking the bus, Zhao Quan never mistreated himself when it came to food and mahjong.

He drank and smoked almost every day.

Previously, when he lost money and they couldn’t even afford milk powder for Moon, Zhao Quan still took the family’s remaining money to buy meat and vegetables for himself.

Zhao Quan held the menu, looked at it pretentiously, and picked several dishes marked as “Signature.”

“Sir, are you sure you want to order this much?” The waiter kindly reminded him, “For just two people, three dishes would be plenty. You won’t be able to finish this much.”

Li Fenlan also saw the prices and was about to speak when Zhao Quan slammed the menu onto the table with a Smack! “What, you think I can’t afford it?”

“Let me tell you, I have plenty of money! What is a little waiter like you shouting for!”

The waiter pursed her lips, but professional ethics prevented her from getting angry. She still had to put on a smile. “Okay, please wait a moment.”

After the food arrived, Zhao Quan stuffed his mouth frantically as if he hadn’t seen food before, but the quantity was so large they couldn’t finish it.

Unwilling to lose face, Zhao Quan glanced at Li Fenlan. “Go ask for a bag to pack it up later.”

Li Fenlan felt pained about the money but did as told.

This meal cost them six hundred yuan. Li Fenlan’s heart ached endlessly.

They had to find Wen Ran quickly.

The two of them camped out near the WK Base, waiting for Wen Ran to return.

Wen Ran went back to his room after returning that night. The hotel they stayed in had twin standard rooms. Jiang Yan wanted to share a room with Wen Ran, but before the rooms were assigned, Orange volunteered and asked if he could room with Jiang Yan since assignments weren’t done yet.

A teammate’s simple request was reasonable, so Jiang Yan helplessly used the excuse that he had to room with the coach to discuss tactics.

As luck would have it, Arrow Cloud said he had agreed to go out with Brother Seven (July) after the match, so only Orange and Wen Ran were left to share a room.

Wen Ran felt it was a bit awkward getting along with Orange. Although it wasn’t to the point of being incompatible like fire and water, the atmosphere was very different from when he was with others.

The two basically didn’t talk much.

When Wen Ran returned, it was already very late.

He opened the door quietly, trying his best not to disturb the other person. He didn’t dare turn on the light, groping in the dark to get to his bed to sleep.

But because he couldn’t see, his right leg accidentally bumped into the corner of the bed.

Although the sound wasn’t loud, it hurt a lot. And in the dark silence, such a small sound was amplified several times.

Wen Ran bit his lip, trying not to make a sound, but he still woke Orange.

The other person turned over. “What are you doing in the middle of the night? Don’t you know people are sleeping?”

Since it was his fault, Wen Ran said, “I accidentally bumped into the bed corner just now. Sorry to disturb you.”

“If you disturbed me, you disturbed me. Why make excuses?” Orange scoffed. “Could it be that because you bumped yourself, I deserve to be disturbed?”

Wen Ran felt the guy wasn’t wrong. “I didn’t mean that. Go to sleep.”

Now it was Orange’s turn to be stunned. Wasn’t Wen Ran quite good at cursing people?

He had already prepared several retorts in his mind to roast Wen Ran, but the other party just gave him this???

Apologizing obediently… that didn’t seem like his style at all.

Moreover, he could hear the sound of Wen Ran sucking in a cold breath just now.

He probably hit it pretty hard.

Thinking of this, Orange felt a bit uneasy.

Actually, he hadn’t fallen asleep yet. He was a night owl and had been playing on his phone until Wen Ran opened the door. Hearing the sound of the keycard and the door, he immediately put down his phone and pretended to sleep.

Originally, he thought if the guy turned on the light, he would get up and yell at him directly.

But he never expected that Wen Ran wouldn’t even turn on his phone light.

Was he always this considerate?
