After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening again. Liang Tan was still in the company. It was already 10:20 when the meeting ended, which was 20 minutes later than the original video time.

She hurriedly took out her cell phone to contact him, but before she could send a video request, the partner suddenly came. She could only hurriedly send a voice message to Cui Ling saying "Let's talk later" and then went to the meeting.

After receiving the message, Cui Ling was silent for a moment and put the phone in his pocket.

The alarm clock in the room rang, and Wu Chang at the side said, "Turn off your phone, it's time for class."

Cui Ling lowered his eyes and pretended not to hear.

Wu Chang was helpless: "Didn't Liang Tan contact you today?"

"She's busy." Cui Ling replied.

Wu Chang's mouth twitched: "So are you going to continue waiting, or wait while attending class?"

Cui Ling’s answer was to spread out the drawing paper.

Wu Chang breathed a sigh of relief silently and began to teach him.

However, Cui Ling was absent-minded and would take out his phone from time to time to check it. After only being abroad for a dozen days, he had already changed a lot. He knew that the teacher would be angry if he secretly played with his phone during class, so every time he took it out, he remembered to be sneaky.

"...You are the only student in this room. I must be blind to not see this." Wu Chang completely compromised after catching him looking at his phone again. "Don't study for now. Wait until Liang Tan calls you on video."

Upon hearing this, Cui Ling immediately took out his cell phone and placed it solemnly on the drawing board.

Seeing his performance, Wu Chang, who always regarded painting as sacred, blinked his eyes and simply turned around and walked out.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, illuminating the room. Cui Ling was bathing in the sunlight, and the tiny hairs on his face were clearly visible.

He was waiting alone in the study. Wu Chang went to the living room, took two gulps of cold water, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Are you mad at your closed disciple again?" Zhou Cang joked as he was curled up on the sofa watching TV.

When facing people other than Cui Ling, Wu Chang was not so good-tempered. He snorted coldly: "Call Liang Tan and tell her that Cui Ling is still waiting for her video call. Ask her to call quickly."

"I knew it was because of her again." Zhou Cang clicked his tongue and lowered his head to send a message to Liang Tan.

Liang Tan was still in a meeting with her partners, and it was an hour later when she saw the news. She was still working overtime, pinching her nose tiredly, and looked up at the twinkling starry sky outside the French window.

After a long time, she let out a long sigh and called Cui Ling.

Almost instantly.

"Sister." He took the initiative to speak.

Liang Tan smiled and said, "No class?"

"No." Less than a month after going abroad, he learned to answer every question.

Liang Tan hummed softly and stopped talking.

One of them was busy with work all day, and the other was busy with creation all day. Their lives were not very interesting, not to mention that one of them was a taciturn person. When they just separated, Liang Tan tried to find topics to talk about, but now he gradually lost the ability to do so. One reason was that he was too tired from work and had no energy, and the other was that he didn't know what to say.

She looked at Cui Ling quietly, and at the sun-filled study behind him. Cui Ling also looked at her, but she didn't know if his eyes could accommodate the starry sky behind her besides her.

Time passed by minute by minute, and neither of them spoke. When half an hour was almost over, Liang Tan asked, "Have you eaten well recently?"

"Have."

"How was sleep?"

"it is good."

"Did Wu Chang bully you? Was he very strict?" Liang Tan asked again.

Cui Ling shook his head: "No."

After the four questions were asked, silence fell again.

Cui Ling probably realized that her answer was too concise, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes. After a while, she took the initiative to speak: "Sister."

"Hmm?" Liang Tan was tired and sleepy, but he immediately perked up when he heard him calling him.

"Sister." He called again.

Liang Tan couldn't help laughing: "Calling the soul?"

Seeing her smile, Cui Ling's lips also curled up, and there was a hint of flattery in his eyes that he himself didn't even notice.

Liang Tan's eyes were soft: "You must take good care of yourself over there. I will come to see you when I am free."

"it is good."

"It's getting late. You should go to class. It's time for me to go home and rest." Liang Tan said again.

Cui Ling glanced at the video time, 27 minutes and 19 seconds, and there were still two minutes and 41 seconds to half an hour. However, seeing the fatigue on Liang Tan's face, he nodded and said "Okay."

Liang Tan knew that he was waiting for her to hang up. If she didn't hang up, he would sit here and stare at her all night. He was really... not surprisingly stubborn. She sighed with amusement and hung up the phone directly.

The office became quiet again, and a feeling of loneliness suddenly came over him. Liang Tan let out a light breath and began to send messages to Zhou Cang, asking about everything from how many hours Cui Ling slept to what he had eaten in the morning.

Cui Ling was always easy-going most of the time and never paid attention to these details, but as long as she asked, he would definitely pay attention. So after thinking it over, she decided to ask Zhou Cang to prevent Cui Ling from paying too much attention to unnecessary things.

Zhou Cang had obviously already gotten used to her message bombardment. After seeing it, he sighed resignedly, put down his coffee and began to reply to each message one by one.

"Liang Tan again?" Wu Chang glanced at him.

"Who else but her?" Zhou Cang was helpless. Although she was a girl he had a crush on, after being bombarded with her for half a month, he had completely seen through the world.

Cui Ling, who had just walked out of the study, paused.

Wu Chang sneered, but before he could laugh at Zhou Cang, Cui Ling appeared. After a pause, he asked, "Is the fight over?"

"Yeah." Cui Ling nodded.

Wu Chang let out a light breath and stood up: "Then let's go to class quickly. I have to go out at noon and I have to finish the class before leaving." As he spoke, he walked past Cui Ling and quickly entered the study.

Cui Ling followed him silently, and when she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back, and saw Zhou Cang lowering his head and replying to the message with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

Very dazzling.

Cui Ling lowered his eyes and obediently walked into the study.

The video call alone took up half an hour of the two-hour class time. Wu Chang hurriedly finished his lecture in the remaining hour and a half and left. Suddenly, Cui Ling and Zhou Cang were the only ones left in the huge house.

"Cui Ling, come out for dinner." Zhou Cang called him.

Cui Ling pretended not to hear.

Zhou Cang waited for a long time but saw no one, so he pushed the door open and came in: "Cui Ling?"

Cui Ling continued to pretend not to hear.

When Zhou Cang saw him like this, he knew that he must have offended him again. After thinking for a moment, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure you don't want to eat well? Then I'll tell Mr. Liang."

After he said this, Cui Ling suddenly stood up and walked out with an expressionless face.

Zhou Cang followed him, holding back his laughter, and the two of them came to the dining table together. As soon as he sat down, Cui Ling carried the food to the bedroom.

Since coming here, Cui Ling has taken every meal back to the room, so Zhou Cang didn't take it seriously. He just joked in a disgusting way: "Are you going to eat with Mr. Liang's photo again?"

Every time Cui Ling ate, she was alone in the room. She would take out the photos of Liang Tan on her mobile phone and arrange them, then eat while looking at the photos.

Zhou Cang was shocked when he saw it for the first time. His first reaction was that something had happened to Liang Tan, but he was relieved when he saw that the photo was not in black and white. He tactfully reminded Cui Ling that it seemed unlucky to display the photo like this, but seeing that he refused to eat without the photo, he had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.

Sure enough, after Cui Ling brought the meal back to the bedroom, he closed the door directly, then skillfully pointed out Liang Tan’s photo, and officially started today’s lunch.

Liang Tan, who had fallen asleep on the other side of the ocean, suddenly sneezed in his dream, mumbled twice in his sleep, turned over and continued to sleep.

As the days passed, the two lived in their own worlds, twelve hours apart.

Liang Tan promised Cui Ling countless times that he would come to see him, but he was too busy with work and never made it, so he gradually stopped talking to her. The two still video chatted for half an hour every day, but most of the time they were silent, and he could not see any progress in some aspects. Liang Tan could only learn about his life through Zhou Cang.

But in Cui Ling's eyes, it seemed that she chatted more with Zhou Cang than with himself.

Another video call ended in a long silence. Liang Tan exhaled lightly and said to him with a smile: "You go to class. I want to rest."

After saying that, she was about to hang up the phone, but before she even touched the phone, she heard him say faintly, "You're lying."

Liang Tan paused: "Hmm?"

"You are lying." Cui Ling repeated himself, with resentment in his eyes that even a blind person could see.

Liang Tan blinked: "How did I lie?"

"If you don't rest, go find Zhou Cang." Although Cui Ling still didn't speak often, such long sentences gradually became no longer a problem for him.

Liang Tan laughed: "How did you know I was looking for Zhou Cang? Did he tell you?"

Cui Ling remained silent, obviously having guessed it himself.

Liang Tan looked at his silence and became curious again: "Isn't Zhou Cang very good to you? Why don't you like him?"

"I don't like it if someone steals my sister's money." Cui Ling said bluntly.

Liang Tan was stunned: "Rob... me?"

"Ah."

Liang Tan looked at him in silence for a long time, then understood: "Little friend, are you jealous?"

Cui Ling agreed.

"It seems that going abroad with Wu Chang was the right decision. Now you're jealous. That's great," Liang Tan said with a smile. After thinking for a while, he explained, "I contacted him because I wanted to know about your situation, but I was afraid that asking you directly would affect your life. I didn't contact him more than you on purpose."

Cui Ling stared at her, not sure whether he accepted her explanation or not.

A smile flashed in Liang Tan's eyes: "If you don't like it, I will contact him less in the future, okay?"

"Yeah." Cui Ling's expression was visibly relaxed.

Liang Tan coaxed the child a few more times, and only hung up the phone when the child was happy. He turned around and sent a message to Zhou Cang: Next time you check my messages, can you please do it behind Cui Ling's back?

Zhou Cang:?

The next morning, when Cui Ling appeared at the dining table, he quietly placed his phone on the table. Zhou Cang glanced at it casually and saw that his screen was lit up, with a chat page with Liang Tan on it, and the last message was that the video call lasted 41 minutes.

"Cui Ling, keeping your phone on all the time will consume a lot of battery." Zhou Cang kindly reminded.

Cui Ling paused for a moment, then took her breakfast and cell phone and left without looking back.

Zhou Cang looked at Wu Chang innocently: "...Did I provoke him again?"

"He put the chat page up to show off to you that he chatted with Liang Tanduo for eleven minutes yesterday, but you only paid attention to the issue of power consumption. Do you think I have provoked him?" Wu Chang looked at him with disdain.

Zhou Cang: “…” Oh my god, even kids can play tricks on me.

Liang Tan has always said that she wants to go abroad to see Cui Ling, but she never has the time to go. The agreed time has to be postponed again and again. As summer vacation is approaching, she simply gave up the idea of ​​going abroad for the time being and instead concentrated on waiting for him to come back at home.

However, Wu Chang is going to hold a solo exhibition this summer. As his only disciple, Cui Ling not only has to paint a presentable work before the exhibition begins, but also has to participate in the entire exhibition from beginning to end, so he is destined not to be able to go home during the summer vacation.

"It's okay. I'll come to see you when I'm free," Liang Tan said while lying on the bed, carefully hiding his disappointment. He smiled at Cui Ling on the phone, "You should prepare your work well and try to make it a big hit. When I go out, I can also say that I'm so-and-so's sister. It's so prestigious."

Cui Ling's eyes were slightly red, and the reluctance in her eyes was almost overflowing: "When will you come?"

Liang Tan choked for a moment, then said dryly after a while: "Go when you are free."

"You're not free." Cui Ling looked at her and stated this fact.

Liang Tan was also helpless about this. The huge Gu Group was all on her shoulders, and many projects could not be started without her. Not to mention taking a long vacation, even on normal Saturdays and Sundays, it was difficult for her to completely avoid work.

So what Cui Ling said was true, she really didn’t have time.

"Sister." Cui Ling suddenly called her.

Liang Tan came back to her senses and looked at him again: "Sister, promise that you will go as soon as you have time, okay?"

She still didn't say when she would come. Cui Ling looked at her intently, not satisfied with her answer.

Every time Liang Tan was stared at by him with this kind of eyes, she would feel like she was being seen through. She cleared her throat and was about to explain something when there were a few knocks on the door, followed by the housekeeper's voice: "Mr. Liang, do you have time now? I want to report to you about the family expenses in the past six months."

Liang Tan sat up and said, "You can make the decision on this kind of trivial matter. You don't need to tell me."

"No, Mr. Liang, I know you trust me, but when it comes to money, I have to be fair and impartial so that I can carry out the next work." The housekeeper denied.

Liang Tan had no choice but to whisper to Cui Ling: "Don't make any noise, it should be over soon."

He couldn't go home this summer vacation, and she couldn't go to see him for a while. He must be feeling very sad, so he had to comfort her before hanging up the phone.

After Liang Tan gave Cui Ling instructions, he casually placed his phone on the pillow and said, "Come in."

After saying that, she got off the bed. The cushion was pressed down by her so that it sank slightly, and the pillow also sank into a slight arc. The mobile phone placed on it fell down and finally leaned on the pillow, capturing most of the room in the camera.

Cui Ling sat obediently and didn't say a word when he saw the housekeeper come into the room.

The butler walked to the entrance and stopped until Liang Tan sat down on the sofa first, then he followed him to the sofa.
