As soon as Dr. Conan left, Haiyuan immediately returned to the car. She sat in the passenger seat and took out a gray plastic bag from her carry-on bag. There were two strips of waterproof tape on the bag.
Haiyuan concentrated and held his breath, carefully opened the plastic bag and took out four cassettes. This is what her mother left her. Each tape has a numbered piece of paper attached to it. 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20.
Lu Ren, who was sitting next to Haiyuan, handed her a pair of headphones.
Haiyuan took it, put it on, and inserted the tapes marked with numbers 1-5 into the car tape player.
[Homo sapiens (serious, confused, surprised, joyful, moved, happy...)]
This is the first time Lu Ren has seen that a person's psychological activities can be so rich in a short period of time. At the same time, this is also the first time that Lu Ren has seen Haiyuan showing such a gentle expression.
Normally Huiyuan is always a little nervous and cramped. It seems like he is constantly observing the world with vigilance.
This was true, but she still needed some time to relax and rest.
Lu Ren didn't bother Haiyuan. He put away the appraisal, started the car with a smile, and drove towards his home.
Seeing a doctor or something is naturally just an excuse. The medicine prescribed by Shiina Xi was not finished yet. Lu Ren planned to let Hui Yuan stay at his house first, and then send her back to the doctor's house in the evening.
Along the way, Haiyuan was listening to the tape intently. But when she arrived at the door of her house, she still listened to the tape and refused to get out of the car. And to this day, she still listens to the first tape.
It's not that the audio recorded on a tape is long. According to Lu Ren's guess, it only lasted about ten minutes. The drive from the office to his home took far more than ten minutes.
That's right, Haiyuan didn't listen to it just once, but two or three times...
After listening to it once, I immediately pressed playback and listened to the first tape over and over again.
"Xiao Ai, we are home."
"Haiyuan?"
"Haibara Ai?"
Lu Ren's voice got louder over and over again, but Huiyuan just didn't respond. So Lu Ren reached out and took off Haiyuan's headphones.
"No! Huh?" After subconsciously shouting, Haiyuan finally woke up. But even so, she still stared at the headphones in Lu Ren's hand.
"I'm not trying to steal your things." Lu Ren handed the headphones back to Haiyuan, "It's just that we're home. You can listen to it slowly after you get home, and no one will snatch it from you."
"Oh." Haiyuan stuffed the tape into his bag, got out of the car, ran across the yard with his short legs, and ran to the door of his house.
She stood at the door, turned around and looked back at Lu Ren. Seeing that he had not yet taken action, she urged, "Brother Ren, hurry up. Don't waste time."
This is his fault. I don’t know who just refused to get off the car.
"Yes, yes. Right away."
…
After entering the door, Haiyuan hurriedly said hello to Dabai, ran upstairs and got into the study on the second floor.
There is a tape recorder there.
[Little master, what’s going on? The gentle Baymax expressed doubts. 】
Lu Ren bent down and picked up the orange lying on Dabai's body. After weighing it twice, he replied: "It's nothing. She just misses home."
【in this way. Understood. Dabai also misses his little master. 】
"Hahaha."
Until dinner time, Lu Ren took Huiyuan out of the room.
Carrying means literally.
The child stayed in the study all afternoon without eating or drinking.
It's understandable, but this is ultimately not good for your health.
Being carried by someone in the air, even if the person carrying her was Lu Ren, it still made Haiyuan very embarrassed. And suddenly looking around from Lu Ren's perspective, Haiyuan began to be slightly afraid of heights.
Fortunately, Lu Ren's hand was very steady. He put down Huiyuan, bent down and warned: "You can take a look when you get back, and no one will snatch it from you."
"Um."
Haiyuan closed the door of the study room, followed Lu Ren down to the first floor, and sat on the same sofa. At this time, Orange walked up to Haiyuan and rubbed Haiyuan's arm. Before Haiyuan could touch him twice, Orange jumped onto Lu Ren's lap, nestled in his lap and started to take a nap.
Even if she wasn't allowed to touch her, he even kicked her before leaving...
Haiyuan said quietly: "Brother Ren, has Orange gained weight recently?"
"It does exercise every day and doesn't eat too much. Maybe this is the orange cat's fate. Without talking about this, what do you want to eat later?"
"There's no rush." Haiyuan considered his words and said cautiously, "Brother Ren, I have a request."
"explain."
"That's right, you can make backup copies of those tapes. But can you leave me the originals?"
"What's the backup for? You just keep it."
Haiyuan was a little surprised for a moment: "Aren't you going to hand it in?"
"What's the point of turning it in?" Lu Ren licked the orange, "I haven't told you before. Saving you is my personal behavior. And I don't want anything from you."
"That's it. Then do you want to listen to the contents of the tape." Haiyuan then asked.
"No. Just keep it." Lu Ren put the orange aside, took out his phone and checked the time, "Do you have any other questions? Can we go to eat now? I'm a little hungry."
"Okay. You decide what to eat."
"Then let's go have Chinese food again."
"Um."
…
Just like last time, the restaurant waiter took the two of them to a private room.
Apart from the plot of hometown and fellow countrymen, another reason that cannot be ignored is that even if a private room is full of people, they may not eat as much as these two people.
Making money and helping each other are not contradictory. The most I can get is a small change when I check out.
After the meal, Lu Ren leaned on the chair and closed his eyes comfortably.
Huiyuan didn't say anything and looked at Lu Ren quietly.
Without Lu Ren's knowledge, Haiyuan once again showed the same gentle expression as before.
Two or three minutes later, Lu Ren opened his eyes. "Let's go. I'll take you back."
"Um."
After leaving the Chinese restaurant, Haiyuan sat in the passenger seat as usual. The scenery outside the window slowly receded in her eyes. When she was approaching the doctor's house, she whispered: "Can you stop nearby?"
"Um."
Lu Ren parked the car directly on the side of the road. Anyway, there are no traffic police checks at night.
"Actually, the reasons I told you yesterday were not comprehensive."
"Um."
"Before I got these tapes, I was actually a little scared. I didn't have much memory of my parents. They died not long after I was born. As far back as I can remember, my sister has been taking care of me. I want to know what my parents are like. What kind of people are they, but I am also a little scared. I am afraid that they are not the same as I imagined. This is the reason why I have been putting off getting things. Their reputation is not good, and my father is called A mad scientist. My mother is taciturn and is called the 'angel that fell into hell' by people in the organization."
Lu Ren pondered for a moment, "In that case. Why don't you ask your sister directly. She should have an impression of Miyano and his wife."
"Sister. Sister, she is so kind. Even if I ask about this kind of thing, I still won't get the answer I really want."
"It seems so."
According to Miyano Akemi's temperament, she will definitely only say nice things.
"But now I have the answer I wanted. Thank you. Although I am still not sure what kind of person my father is. But my mother is really gentle. That is enough for me."
Lu Ren didn't answer, but stretched out his hand to rub Huiyuan's head.
Sometimes, being too sensible is not a good thing. With him around, she can be more willful and greedy.
After rubbing it for a while, Lu Ren let go and said, "This afternoon, I called Memu. Dejima is dead, and the remaining people will move out of the house soon. I found some connections and asked someone to Take good care of that house and come regularly to clean and repair it. When things are done here, you can live back in your own home."
"No need." Huiyuan shook her head and looked at Lu Ren: "That's my father's home, not mine. A place with people is home."
"That's fine."
ps: The author made a mistake earlier. Instead of twenty tapes, there were four. Five years per box.
