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

Cui Ling stared at her for a long while, then suddenly said, "I don't want to call you sister anymore."

Liang Tan's eyelids jumped: "Why, just because I'm leaving, you want to break up with me? Cui Ling, you are really..."

"Liang Tan."

The rest of Liang Tan's words suddenly got stuck in her throat. She couldn't swallow them or spit them out, and her face turned red from holding it in.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally spoke with difficulty: "...What did you call me?"

"Liang Tan." Cui Ling repeated expressionlessly.

Liang Tan was speechless for a long time, then asked, "Just because Zhou Cang called me Liang Tan?"

Cui Ling said nothing, obviously agreeing.

Liang Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Cui Ling, are you childish?!"

"Liang Tan." Cui Ling's answer was to call her again.

Liang Tan glanced at him and said, "Don't be angry. I won't let Zhou Cang call me by my name anymore."

Cui Ling lowered his eyes, wanting to say that he was not angry, but the words could not come out of his mouth, and in the end he could only remain silent.

Liang Tan rubbed his head and said in a slow voice, "Let's go."

Cui Ling responded softly and picked up her luggage.

The two walked out silently. Even without saying anything, they could clearly feel each other's reluctance to leave. How happy they were when they reunited a few days ago, how hard it was to part at this moment.

"Soon," Liang Tan whispered, not sure if he was talking to himself or Cui Ling, "In a little over a month, we will be able to meet."

Cui Ling nodded silently.

The two of them stood at the gate of the courtyard. Liang Tan squinted at him in the sun. When he saw the dullness on his face, he couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, don't be sad."

"Not sad." Cui Ling replied.

Liang Tan smiled and said, "But your expression tells me that you are still very sad."

This sentence was like poking a hornet's nest, and Cui Ling's eyes instantly turned red. Liang Tan was immediately in a panic, and hurriedly patted his back to comfort him: "Don't cry, don't cry, I will video chat with you as soon as I have time, and send you messages every day, okay?"

Cui Ling looked at her steadily, the faint tears in his eyes like broken starlight.

There was a vehicle coming towards them in the distance. Liang Tan caught a glimpse of the license plate and waved his hand. The other party hesitated and pulled over.

Liang Tan continued to pat Cui Ling's back and whispered soothing words. Cui Ling just lowered his head and held the handle of the suitcase tightly with both hands.

After more than ten minutes, his mood did not improve at all, but at least he was willing to speak: "You can go now."

"...How can I leave with peace of mind when you're like this?" Liang Tan was helpless.

Cui Ling pursed her lips, lowered her head and refused to answer.

Liang Tan pinched his fingers, thought for a moment and asked, "How can I make you happier?"

Cui Ling bit her lower lip.

"Do you have a gift you want? Or any request? Just tell me. As long as you are happy, I will agree to anything." Liang Tan has really used all his tricks. Now there is really no other way, so he has to let him make the decision himself.

This trick did have some effect, at least Cui Ling began to frown and think seriously.

Liang Tan perked up upon seeing this, and when he looked at her hesitantly as if wanting to say something, he immediately looked at him encouragingly.

Cui Ling hesitated for a moment, then leaned over cautiously after a while.

Liang Tan blinked in confusion and was about to ask him what he wanted to do when he solemnly kissed her on the cheek.

Liang Tan: “…”

A burst of excited cheers came from the car waiting not far away. She suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Cui Ling in a daze.

"Goodbye, Liang Tan." Cui Ling's cheeks flushed and there were tears in her eyes when she spoke, but she didn't look very sad.

Liang Tan: “…”

Liang Tan looked back every few steps as he got into the car, and he was still looking back until he was almost out of the community.

The assistant who was driving couldn't help but joked when he saw this: "Mr. Liang can't bear to part with her young boyfriend."

Liang Tan came back to his senses and glanced at her: "Stop talking nonsense, that's my brother."

"Hello, brother. Brother smells good. Brother is full of energy and in good health." The assistant immediately made up a bunch of rhymes.

Liang Tan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He is really my brother. He has a very simple mind. He kissed me only because he couldn't bear to do so."

"How is that possible? Master Cui liked you at first sight," the assistant said, glancing at her quickly, and chatting while driving, "Boss Liang, I've been with you for eight years. You haven't been in a relationship yet, right?"

"Busy, no time." Liang Tan lowered his head and sent a message to Cui Ling.

The assistant sighed, "It's not that I don't have time, it's that I haven't met anyone who is worthy of you... I really think Master Cui is good. He is young, good-looking, and talented. Most importantly, he is very obedient and only listens to you. He is simply the ideal in the world."

"...Do you want to change your career and become a matchmaker?" Liang Tan looked up speechlessly.

The assistant chuckled and said, "You really don't have that idea?"

"I've already said that he's just a child. A kiss or a hug are just his ways of expressing intimacy. There is absolutely no secondary meaning. If I have that thought about him, what's the difference between me and an animal?" Liang Tan sneered.

The assistant blinked and said, "If there is a second meaning, why don't you try it with him?"

Liang Tan paused while scrolling through his phone, and sneered, "There will definitely not be a second level."

The assistant blinked and didn't ask any more questions.

After leaving the villa, the two went straight to the partner company which was three hours' drive away. When they arrived at their destination, Liang Tan's mobile phone only had 20% battery left. She hurriedly said goodbye to Cui Ling and officially started working.

This cross-border project was one of the most important projects of Mr. Liang this year, so she, the president, came in person to hold the meeting and negotiate. The negotiation time was set for three days. During these three days, she hardly slept, and even Mr. Liang didn't eat. Every day was a meeting, meeting, and meeting, and she also ignored Cui Ling a lot.

Fortunately, Cui Ling was well-behaved. After hearing how busy she was, he no longer urged her to video chat like before, but only reminded her to eat when it was time for dinner.

In a blink of an eye, it was the last day of the negotiations. After the meeting, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Liang Tan's cell phone dinged. She looked down and saw that it was a message from Cui Ling reminding her to have dinner.

"Master Cui is so thoughtful. I really envy President Liang." The assistant came over again.

Liang Tan glanced at her and said, "If you have time to envy this and that, it seems that I haven't given you enough work. Do you want to..."

"No!" The assistant slipped away immediately.

Liang Tan laughed and lowered his head to reply to Cui Ling: OK.

Cui Ling replied immediately: Are you leaving tomorrow?

Liang Tan pursed his lips: Well, the flight is at six in the morning.

Cui Ling was silent for a long time before replying: Let’s go eat.

Liang Tan sighed and put his phone in his pocket.

The contract was negotiated, and the dinner that night was eaten with the partners. Liang Tan drank some wine, and when she returned to the hotel it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. She suddenly relaxed after being tense for many days, and she fell asleep directly on the bed.

I woke up again, to the alarm clock at four in the morning.

The room was still dark in the early morning. She pinched her nose and turned on the light, then went straight to wash and change clothes. She only looked at her phone after everything was ready.

Then I saw the message my assistant had sent me an hour ago: Mr. Liang, the flight was suddenly cancelled. I have changed it to the 3 pm flight. Just continue sleeping when you see the message.

Liang Tan: “…”

She stared at her phone in silence for a long time, then looked at herself in the dressing mirror who was already ready. After thinking for a long time, she took her phone and went out.

She would not leave until 3pm, so she could have breakfast and lunch with Cui Ling. Liang Tan raised her lips, went downstairs, took a taxi and went straight to Wu Chang's villa.

She got up too early, and it was just dawn when she arrived at Wu Chang's villa. She wanted to send a message to Cui Ling before going into the house, but she didn't want to wake him up in advance.

Just as she was struggling, Wu Chang, who was dressed in casual clothes, suddenly ran over from a distance and looked surprised when he saw her: "Liang Tan?"

"Mr. Wu." Liang Tan's eyes lit up.

Wu Chang looked at her and said, "Shouldn't you go back home today?"

"The flight was cancelled. We won't leave until 3pm. I came to see Cui Ling," Liang Tan said, glancing at the living room. "Is he still not up?"

"I don't know, he's not at home." Wu Chang replied.

Liang Tan was stunned: "Not at home? Then where is he?"

"Hotel." Wu Chang said directly.

A trace of confusion flashed across Liang Tan's eyes.

"It's the same room you stayed in before. He didn't check out and has been living there for the past two days. He also refused to come back for classes. He's been holding his phone all day waiting for your message. You should go check on the child. I miss you so much that I'm going crazy..."

Before Wu Chang could finish his words, Liang Tan turned and walked away, his steps so hurried that it seemed as if someone was chasing him.

Wu Chang stared at her back for a long time, until she completely disappeared from his sight, then he sighed: "You are so concerned about it, how can we end it if we don't get married on the spot."

Liang Tan didn't hear what Wu Chang said and trotted all the way to the hotel.

The receptionist today was the girl who checked her in before. As soon as she saw her, she greeted her warmly: "Your boyfriend is still waiting for you here."

Liang Tan was concerned about Cui Ling, so he did not refute when he heard this, but just smiled and nodded.

"This is your room card." The girl took out the room card directly.

Liang Tan took it, said thank you and went upstairs quickly.

It was already past six in the morning and the sky was still dark. She walked through the long carpeted corridor and finally arrived at the door.

When she thought of Cui Ling being inside, the corners of her lips curled up. She took a deep breath and solemnly swiped her card to enter.

After walking through the living room and coming to his room, Liang Tan looked at the neatly made bed for a moment, then turned around and went back to his room.

He was in her bed.

The tightly closed curtains blocked out 90 percent of the light. In the drowsiness, he was like a harmless child, sleeping soundly with a pillow in his arms.

Liang Tan's eyes suddenly softened. After standing at the door for a long time, he walked in quietly.

When she sat down beside the bed, she saw that his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be sleeping unsteadily. Liang Tan's heart moved, and she couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the marks between his brows.

Cui Ling, who was sleeping, seemed to be aware of something and struggled to open his eyes. When he saw Liang Tan, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Liang Tan said gently: "Sleep a little longer."

Cui Ling's lips moved, and he seemed to say something. Liang Tan didn't hear clearly, so he leaned forward and put his ear close to his lips: "What did you say?"

"I'm dreaming again..." he said vaguely.

Liang Tan laughed and was about to speak when a strong force suddenly pulled her onto the bed. When she came to her senses, Cui Ling had already trapped her tightly.

Liang Tan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "Cui Ling..."

Before he could finish his words, he kissed her with his eyes closed.

Unlike the light touch of a dragonfly skimming the water, after Liang Tan was stunned, it was as if gunpowder exploded in his head, and he was completely stunned by the roar.

Liang Tan suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly grabbed his wrist.

Liang Tan's heart was beating so fast that it almost burst out of his chest. He couldn't breathe consciously and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He quietly pushed him aside and slipped out with his back hunched.

When Cui Ling woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning. He pursed his lips and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.

This time the dream was more real than ever, and it made him sadder than ever.

After sitting alone for a while, he got up, took a shower, changed his clothes, and washed his pajamas. It was half an hour later when he finished all this. He lowered his head and held the phone in his hand. He opened Liang Tan's chat box and sent a message: Sister, have you taken off yet?

Click send, and then a ding-dong sound is heard not far away.

Cui Ling was stunned. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw the person she had been thinking about day and night sleeping soundly on the sofa. The phone she had placed on the coffee table rang and then went black again.

Cui Ling walked to the sofa in a daze, squatted down and stared at her face, but still couldn't be sure whether this was a dream or reality.

After an unknown amount of time, Liang Tan woke up from his light sleep. When he met his gaze, he was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face: "Awake?"

Cui Ling looked at her uneasily, as if he wanted to ask something but didn't dare.

Liang Tan pretended not to notice his worries, cleared his throat and said, "You were still asleep when I came, so I didn't disturb you and went straight to sleep in the living room."

"Didn't you disturb me?" Cui Ling asked carefully.

Liang Tan nodded: "No."

Cui Ling relaxed a little after hearing this.

Liang Tan lowered his head and quietly rubbed the sweat from his palms on his clothes.

"Sister." he called out.

Looking at his pure eyes, Liang Tan couldn't help thinking about him, and a heat suddenly hit his cheeks.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Cui Ling saw her face flushing and immediately reached out to touch it with concern.

Liang Tan quickly dodged backwards. Cui Ling's fingertips missed her and she looked at her after a moment of pause.

"...Are you hungry?" Liang Tan calmly changed the subject.

Cui Ling was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Hungry."

"Then let's go eat something." Liang Tan let out a sigh and said with a smile.

Cui Ling nodded obediently, and waited until she got up from the sofa before holding her hand. Liang Tan's body stiffened, and she subconsciously wanted to break free, but after meeting his gaze, she gave up and just let him hold her hand stiffly.

When they arrived at the hotel restaurant, the two of them ordered some food and sat down at a booth.

"I thought you left." Cui Ling said suddenly.

Liang Tan came back to his senses: "I was going to leave, but the flight was cancelled, so I have to wait... I should leave after dinner."

"I'll go see my sister off." Cui Ling said seriously.

Liang Tan pulled the corner of his lips and said, "What do you want to send me? I heard that you haven't been to class these few days?"

"I'm waiting for my sister." Cui Ling replied.

Liang Tan raised his eyes to look at him, met his serious gaze and then turned away hurriedly: "I'm leaving now, what are you waiting for?"

“What if?” Cui Ling said, and suddenly laughed, puffing out his chest like a child seeking credit, “Look, I’ve waited for it.”

Liang Tan laughed and wanted to reach out to pinch his face, but gave up after moving his fingers just once.

Cui Ling was not a talkative person to begin with. Although he was much more cheerful than before, the things in his bones remained unchanged. Now that Liang Tan did not try to lead the conversation, he gradually stopped talking.
