“Then what do you want?” Settling down his mind that was startled by Tan Yunchang, Luo Zhan lazily lowered his eyes and asked.

Tan Yunchang said excitedly, “Since you two know each other, and Lin Qianhua said that you have had a good talk, why don’t you arrange a time to invite him to get to know us in the lab?”

“It’s to get to know you, right?”

“Hehe, heh. Conveniently, get to know us all.”

Luo Zhan lazily drooped his eyes and coldly quirked the corners of his lips, “He isn’t gay.”

“?” Tan Yunchang took a while to react then came back to his senses in a hurry, “I’m not either!”

Luo Zhan smiled coldly, “Then why are you so eager to get to know him?”

“That’s different! Lan Jingqian is my number one male god! Years ago, I heard about his past achievements, his entire journey from his youth as he matured. He started from nothing as a poor college student to being a young upstart at the top of his field―his life could be a five million word article!”

Luo Zhan was annoyed by Tan Yunchang’s noisiness, so he lazily made a sound of agreement and said, “Some other time, I’ll invite you guys out for a meal.”

“Okay! Thank you, Brother Zhan! From now on, you’re my real brother! Good night, dear brother!”

“……”

Luo Zhan hung up the phone expressionlessly.

He tossed the phone aside, but stopped after he withdrew his hand. After a long time, he slowly lowered his body and picked up the coin on the table.

After looking at it for a few seconds, Luo Zhan chuckled involuntarily.

“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have accepted it. For you and this one coin, do you know how much I bet on it.”

“……”

It was quiet late at night.

Inside the nest on the branch outside the window, a sleeping fledgling lightly rubbed its head, letting out a low chirp as it dreamed.

The next day after noon, the Tang family arranged two cars to pick up Tang Ran.

The first one took away all of the little girl’s luggage, and the second one was a convertible driven by the chauffeur who picked her up before.

Yang Yilan finally sent her to the car downstairs. Until Tang Ran slowly sat down in the car, Yang Yilan still didn’t hadn’t let go of the girl’s hand.

The rim of her eyes were red and tears were gathering in her eyes, but she squeezed out a smile and blinked her tears away. “Xiao Ran, after you get to the Tang residence, you have to take good care of yourself, okay? Don’t allow yourself to be wronged. If something happens, call Granny. If worst comes to worst…… if worst comes to worst, Granny will take you back to live at my house, okay?”

Tang Ran sat in the car. The dry, hot summer sky was above her head, noisy cicadas around her, but she couldn’t see the blinding sunlight. The air was humid and stiflingly hot. She clenched her fingers, but only felt her palm was cool and icy.

Tang Ran slowly relaxed her breathing and bent the corners of her. “Granny, I’ll live well in the Tang residence, so don’t worry…… I’ll call you, too. I still want to hear the sound of my uncle and aunt’s little baby talking.”

“Okay, okay,” Yang Yilan held back her tears and forced a smile, “When he can walk, Granny will bring him to see you, okay?”

“Mm.” Tang Yan whispered, “We have a deal, Granny.”

“……”

The hand that you didn’t want to let go inevitably had to be let go, and the person you don’t want to see off inevitably had to been sent off.

The car drove down the long street into the traffic, going farther and farther away. When the car turned the corner of an intersection, Tang Ran knew that Yang Yilan wouldn’t be able to see her anymore and her curved lips dropped a little.

She wanted to restrain herself, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t help feeling her intangible emotions.

The girl lowered her head a little with reddened eyes.

From today onwards, she would be on her own.

A single person should also live well.
