Chapter 91: Dream Core Space 91
Chen Shuting pointed at Lan Tong's schoolbag and said, "Your mother changes your schoolbag to the latest model every semester. Your clothes and shoes are also the most popular styles. She even changes the water in your water cup. Today it's orange juice, tomorrow it's peach juice. And your father, I heard that your father always brings you gifts every time he goes abroad."

This natural and innocent tone of envy inexplicably made Lan Tong feel a little bit lucky.

It seemed that at this moment, even if there were many strange things about her, she was still the one who was envied and loved by others.

Chen Shuting stared at Lan Tong intently, her eyes seemed to be secretly expecting some reaction from her.

The only thing Lan Tong did after hearing this was to smile, and then asked: "Who told you that?"

Chen Shuting didn't seem to expect Lan Tong to ask this suddenly, and the expression on her face instantly became a little unnatural, "No, no one, I saw it myself."

Lan Tong didn't say anything else. She packed her bag and left.

The woman drove Lan Tong back to an upscale residential area.

While Lan Tong and the woman were waiting for the elevator downstairs, another person came with her child.

The woman was talking to the child's parents, and Lan Tong glanced at the child unintentionally.

There were no facial features on her face.

Just like her mother.

But... on her face, around the corners of her mouth, two bright red ropes crossed and embedded into the flesh.

Lu Li in the space could no longer sit still.

Grass.

Isn't this her?
Why is she such a shameless person in Lan Tong's heart? ?
Lan Tong stared at the child for a long time and asked, "Why do you have a red string on your face?"

The child's reaction was a little strange, and he even looked at the adults beside him helplessly.

The conversation between the woman and the other woman ended quickly. She squatted down, took out a wet wipe from her bag, and used it to wipe Lan Tong's face.

"Baby, did you have fun at school today? Look at you, your face is all scratched, like a little cat. Come, let mommy wipe it for you."

"Wait a moment."

Lan Tong tried to refuse, but the woman was too passionate and pressed her face and rubbed it several times before letting go.

When Lan Tong finally got rid of the wiping of her face and looked at the little girl again, her face was empty again.

The two symmetrical intersecting red lines on both sides of the mouth are gone.

Lan Tong's indifferent eyes suddenly became terrifyingly cold, and the wisps of black air surrounding his body suddenly disappeared.

The elevator door opened and the man pulled the girl in.

The woman looked at Lan Tong in a daze and took her into the elevator without any rush.

"what happened?"

Lan Tong blinked, and his frown showed an indescribable complexity.

"It's okay, maybe I'm dazzled again."

The woman smiled, her voice still gentle: "You've been too tired lately."

Lan Tong looked at her calmly.

"Don't you think this is something you wouldn't normally say to a child?"

The woman paused, lowered her eyes and said, "Can't children think about things?"

"You seem to always treat me like a child, but you always subconsciously treat me as an adult."

The woman said: "I know you are grown up, but in my heart, you are still a child no matter how old you are."

"That's an irrelevant answer."

After Lan Tong finished speaking, she got into the elevator.

When she got home, the woman seemed to have forgotten what Lan Tong had asked her in front of the elevator.

He was still so gentle and considerate, treating her and taking care of her in every possible way.

But it was this kind of selfless tenderness and never-angry accommodation that made Lan Tong feel something was wrong.

While eating, the man who called himself "Dad" also came back. Not only did he come back, he also brought the latest model of Barbie doll.

Men are also normal people with facial features. The two of them accompanied Lan Tong to dinner and watched TV for a while. As the night gradually deepened, the two of them sent Lan Tong to bed together, told her stories and accompanied her to sleep, and left only after she fell asleep.

Lu Li was gnashing his teeth secretly in a space.

She couldn't understand why she was a faceless person.

When the lights in the living room were turned off, time in the pseudo-world accelerated again.

Lan Tong suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the window without any warning.

Before, when the woman was about to draw the curtains, Lan Tong said that she was afraid of the dark and wanted to keep some moonlight in the room, which left a view through the window.

The night sky outside the window was changing at an accelerated pace, with the passing clouds, the flashing birds, and the moon striding towards the west. After she watched for a few seconds, everything suddenly returned to normal speed, as if someone had caught them and forced them to release the speed-up button.

In the shadow of the waning moon, Lan Tong sneered softly.

Finally she caught him.

The portrait hanging on the wall was cut diagonally into two halves of light and dark by the moonlight. The blackened face was hidden in the darkness, as if looking at her smile coldly.

Just as Lan Tong was about to get up, the door was suddenly opened.

The woman in her pajamas poked her head out, and the warm light from the small desk lamp in her hand made her face look a little scary.

"Baby, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Lan Tong said naturally: "I was sleeping, but you woke me up."

The woman looked at her suspiciously for a while, then squeezed into the house and said, "Then I'll coax you to sleep before I leave."

"Then you can coax her."

Lan Tong lay back down again.

The woman put down the night light, picked up the fairy tale on the bedside table, and told Lan Tong the story in a soft voice.

After each story she would glance at Lan Tong secretly, but after telling five or six stories, Lan Tong still didn't seem sleepy at all, and the woman's voice was a little hoarse.

Lu Li felt sleepy while listening in the space and couldn't help but yawn lazily.

"Lu Li, how long have I been trapped here?"

Lan Tong's sudden words frightened Lu Li.

She opened her mouth to answer Lan Tong's question, but then she remembered that Lan Tong had disliked her for talking too much, so she closed her mouth angrily.

Lan Tong didn't get an answer for a long time, and the woman beside the bed was already reading the ninth story.

"Land from?"

"..."

"Lu Li, are you asleep?"

Lu Li snorted coldly, making a noise as a way of showing that she was not asleep but just didn't want to pay attention to Lan Tong.

Lan Tong's mouth twitched, and she belatedly realized that Lu Li was angry.

"Lu Li, are you still angry?"

Lu Li's face was filled with displeasure. What did she mean by "she is still angry"?
She had stopped being angry a long time ago, but was just mad at Lan Tong again.

Lan Tong didn't get a response for a long time, and he knew that the other party was doing it on purpose, so he suppressed his annoyance and took a deep breath.

At times, Lu Li's stubbornness was frightening, and he had a kind of blind loyalty that was not very smart but was extremely stubborn.

It's difficult to deal with this kind of person no matter what method you use.

The ninth story was about to be finished, and Lan Tong really didn’t want to listen to the tenth one.

She had no choice but to soften her voice, and cried out in a coquettish and aggrieved tone: "Sister Lu Li, I'm sorry, I don't find you annoying, I like you the most, please forgive me, okay——"

The originally cold voice suddenly became soft, just like those high and mighty flowers that were untainted by the dust of the world were forced to wear collars, lower their heads and lie on each other's knees to rub against each other affectionately to show their goodwill.

Just listening to the sound gives people an infinite sense of satisfaction.

Lu Li's ears suddenly felt numb.
