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

The two finished their meal in silence, and then went to the front desk together to complete the check-out procedures.

"Don't come back again." Liang Tan warned worriedly.

Cui Ling shook her head: "Since my sister has left, I won't be back."

He had been staying here just to wait for her.

Normally when he said this, Liang Tan would just think he was too dependent on his parents, but after what happened this morning, it seemed to have a new meaning. She really didn't know how to face him, and she could only remain silent after hearing this.

Cui Ling stared at her until they left the hotel before asking, "Sister, are you unhappy?"

"...No, I'm thinking about company matters." Liang Tan answered absent-mindedly.

Cui Ling nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He originally wanted to hold her hand, but she had both hands in her pockets and he didn't know what to do.

After struggling all the way to the gate of the community, he finally couldn't help but reach out and hold her arm.

Liang Tan's body stiffened for a moment, and after a while he relaxed and continued walking forward, only brushing his hand away when he reached the door of the villa.

"Come in." She said with a smile.

Cui Ling paused and said, "I'm going to see you off."

"I can just take a taxi myself. Just go to class," Liang Tan said. Seeing that he was about to retort, he immediately frowned and said, "Cui Ling, you've already missed three days of class."

Cui Ling moved his lips, and finally gave up unwillingly: "Okay."

Liang Tan curled the corner of her lips and waved at him. Cui Ling's eyes moved slightly, and she leaned over to kiss her.

Liang Tan was so frightened that she stepped back so hard that she almost sprained her ankle. Cui Ling was startled by her reaction, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"...You are an adult now, stop acting like a spoiled child and go back." Liang Tan said as if nothing had happened.

Cui Ling looked at her in a daze. Liang Tan coughed, made up an excuse and turned away.

Cui Ling kept standing at the door and refused to leave. Wu Chang, who was about to go out for a party, came out of the living room and saw him standing there alone.

Wu Chang was stunned for a moment, then walked forward in confusion: "Why are you alone?"

"My sister is gone." Cui Ling replied.

Wu Chang sighed, "Isn't her flight at 3pm? Why is she leaving so early?"

Cui Ling was stunned, and his face turned pale when he came to his senses.

After Liang Tan returned home, she was often in a daze, and even absent-minded when she video chatted with Cui Ling. She thought that as time went by, she would gradually forget what happened that day, but now whenever she closed her eyes, her mind would automatically recall the wet kiss, the immature reaction, and Cui Ling's words "I'm dreaming again."

…She was really about to be driven crazy by this word ‘again’. In order to avoid affecting Cui Ling, after a week of insomnia, she suddenly said to Cui Ling in a video call on the eighth morning: “I have something to do these few days.”

Cui Ling paused and looked at her quietly.

Liang Tan felt guilty when he looked at her, but she continued firmly, "So I may not have time to video chat with you. Be good and we can meet again after these few days, okay?"

Cui Ling didn't say it was good, nor did he say it was bad.

Liang Tan did not intend to ask for his opinion. He left a sentence "Then it's decided" and hurriedly logged off.

Cui Ling stared at the ended chat page and did not move his eyes away until the phone screen went black.

Wu Chang came to bring him some fruit after dinner. As soon as he entered the room, he saw him sitting alone on the edge of the bed.

"What's wrong?" he asked with a smile.

Cui Ling looked up blankly, and after a while he slowly spoke: "Sister hates me."

Wu Chang: “?”

After Liang Tan hung up the phone, he immediately put aside company affairs and went to see the best psychologist in the city.

She omitted the two people's names, how they met and their current relationship, and only talked about the most important parts, then hoped that this respected old man in front of her could give her some guidance.

The doctor thought for a long time and asked, "What is your request?"

"My request is... can you help analyze how this pair of siblings should get along in the future." Liang Tan was straightforward.

The doctor nodded: "First of all, let's make sure that they are not related by blood."

"No." Liang Tan answered immediately.

“We are all adults now.”

"...Yes," Liang Tan had guessed his conclusion after hearing what he said, and couldn't help but add, "Although the man is also an adult, his mind is too simple and his social experience is insufficient."

The doctor smiled and said, "So you are worried that the man is just confused at the moment, and when he matures in the future, he may feel ashamed or regret his behavior today."

"That's right." Liang Tan was sure that he understood and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The doctor looked at her, as if he wanted to see through her eyes and into her heart: "What does the woman think?"

Liang Tan was stunned.

"There is no blood relationship, and the woman values ​​him enough. It has not violated any law or social morality. What is the woman thinking in this situation?"

"...The woman's thoughts are not important, what's important is the man's." Liang Tan frowned, not very satisfied with his divergent thinking.

The doctor fell silent after hearing this, and the room suddenly became quiet.

Liang Tan waited impatiently, his fingers sliding on the phone from time to time.

Just when she was about to lose patience, the doctor suddenly spoke up: "The reason you are so entangled is mainly because you are not sure whether the man's feelings are momentary confusion or mature emotional considerations."

After he finished speaking, seeing that Liang Tan wanted to refute, he added, "I know you are more inclined to believe that he was confused for a moment, but whether he is mentally mature or not, and whether he has the ability to make judgments, is not something you can guess with inertial thinking. It still requires professional judgment. I believe that as long as you make professional judgments, you will know what to do."

What he said made so much sense that Liang Tan immediately shut up.

The doctor pondered for a moment and gave a suggestion: "If it's convenient, I'd like to meet the man."

"It's not convenient." Liang Tan refused.

Just kidding, if she didn't bring Cui Ling here, she could still pretend to know nothing. Once she brought him here, she would tell him that she had discovered his little secret. It would be fine if she saw a psychologist and confirmed that he had the ability to make independent judgments. But if he didn't, how would she pretend to be stupid next?

Liang Tan sat quietly for a long time, then left the hospital with a frown on his face. He felt even more depressed when he left than when he came.

Because she had taken the whole morning off and it was only ten o'clock in the morning, she simply found a breakfast shop to eat something, then strolled around the nearby park. At noon, she went directly to the company, processed a few important documents, and then went home to continue her leisure time.

As soon as she got home, she turned off her phone and took a melatonin pill to force herself to fall asleep.

This trick worked for her. Although she was still thinking about all sorts of things, she still fell asleep under the effect of the drug. She had not been sleeping well recently and was extremely tired. She finally fell into a deep sleep and didn't know what day it was. When she woke up again, it was dark outside.

She opened her eyes and saw darkness. She was stunned for a long time before she sat up and opened the curtains with the remote control.

There is a small night light in the flower bed outside the floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating a small area. Raindrops can be vaguely seen falling under the light, and the flowers and plants in the yard are covered with misty water droplets, which look crystal clear, as if they had been washed.

It is autumn now, and even through the window, I can feel the coolness outside.

Liang Tan sat on the bed in a daze for a long time before he realized belatedly that it was too quiet.

Ah, the phone is turned off.

She shook her head, turned on the light and her cell phone.

The power-on ringtone rang for three seconds, and the phone screen lit up. Then countless calls and messages came in. She saw Wu Chang's name among these messages at a glance. Her heart tightened immediately, and she called without even reading the message.

The call was connected after one ring. Wu Chang's furious voice came from the other end: "Why are you answering the phone now?"

"What happened?" Liang Tan asked in a deep voice.

"What else could it be? Cui Ling is missing!" Wu Chang gritted his teeth.

Liang Tan stood up suddenly: "What's going on?"

"I wanted to ask you what happened to you! I went to look for him last night, and he just said that his sister hated him, and nothing else. Then this morning I waited for him to come to class, but I didn't see him come out of the room for a long time. I went to look for him just now and found that he was gone!" Wu Chang was anxious and worried, and was furious. "What on earth did you do? Why did you suddenly disappear?!"

"I don't have time to explain this to you now. Have you called the police?" Liang Tan stood up with a cold face and walked out without even bothering to change his clothes.

Wu Chang continued to get angry: "Do I need you to remind me?!"

"Where is the flight information? Have you checked it?" Liang Tan asked again.

Wu Chang was stunned.

Liang Tan was immediately furious: "She's been missing for so long, and you didn't know how to check the flight information?!"

Wu Chang instantly became the one who was in the wrong. Zhou Cang next to him quickly found the flight information. When he saw that Cui Ling had booked a flight back home last night, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly motioned Wu Chang to look over.

"...He has returned to China. His flight was not delayed. If he had boarded the plane smoothly, he should have arrived three hours ago." Wu Chang was no longer so anxious after seeing the message. He gradually realized that he had treated Liang Tan too badly. "He can take a taxi and has money in his phone. He should be able to find you."

Liang Tan walked out with a cold face. The housekeeper was stunned to see her impetuous look, and hurriedly chased after her to ask what happened. Liang Tan said nothing and just rushed out.

"Mr. Liang, please wait a moment. It's still raining outside!" said the housekeeper, hurriedly taking an umbrella.

However, it was too late. Liang Tan had already rushed out of the house in his pajamas and slippers.

The autumn drizzle was not heavy, but the chilly feeling penetrated into his bones. Liang Tan was sweating all over, and his only thought was to find the person as soon as possible.

The housekeeper sighed and chased after her. When he was about to reach the gate of the courtyard, Liang Tan suddenly stopped. He slipped and almost bumped into her. He quickly took a step back and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't notice... Master Cui?!"

When he saw Cui Ling, who was soaked outside the yard, he was so surprised that his voice almost broke.

Cui Ling stood under the cold street light. His thin sweater and jeans were soaked through. His face was pale and his lips were bloodless. His whole body was trembling slightly, like a frozen dog.

Liang Tan's breathing had not yet calmed down, and he looked at him coldly with his mouth slightly open.

"Sister." He cried sadly.

Liang Tan had a blank expression on his face, but there was even a fire burning in his heart.

Cui Ling moved, then suddenly stopped.

He stood for too long, his body was frozen, his hands and feet were numb and he had difficulty moving. The housekeeper saw his embarrassment and immediately stepped forward to support him with concern: "Oh my Master Cui, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me earlier so I could pick you up!"

"Sister." He only had Liang Tan in his eyes. Seeing that she ignored him, he called out again.

Liang Tan’s answer was to turn around and leave.

Cui Ling's body trembled and he almost fell to the ground.

The housekeeper didn't know what the two were arguing about, so he had to coax and persuade Cui Ling to go home first and let him take a shower and change clothes.

"We'll talk about it later. Get yourself ready first." The housekeeper said, pushing him into the bathroom.

He hadn't been back for nearly a year, and everything in the bathroom was still the same as when he left, but there was no dust at all, and it was obvious that it had been carefully cleaned. Cui Ling's eyes were slightly hot, and it took a while before he began to take off his clothes and take a bath with difficulty.

Twenty minutes later, he changed his clothes and came to Liang Tan's door. He knocked on the door and said obediently: "Sister."

No one in the room answered.

He was silent for a minute, then knocked on the door again and called for help. When no one answered, he was silent for another minute, and repeated this cycle over and over again as if he had endless patience.

Liang Tan in the room ignored the harassment at the door and was about to hang up the phone after briefly explaining the situation to Wu Chang. Wu Chang quickly stopped him: "Wait a moment."

"Is there anything else?" Liang Tan asked with a frown.

Wu Chang coughed, and all his momentum was gone: "You... aren't going to let him in?" He heard the knocking on the door for a long time.

"He is so capable, does he still need me to release him?" Liang Tan had a blank expression.

Wu Chang said embarrassedly: "But... I'm still a child, I don't have any bad intentions, I just want to go back to find you."

"He didn't mean any harm. Why didn't you tell you or tell me in advance? Does he have a conscience? Does he know how many people are worried about him?" Liang Tan got angry when he thought of this. "He's such a grown-up, but he doesn't consider his family's feelings when doing things. If we don't teach him a lesson, will we wait for him to do it again next time?"

What she said made so much sense that Wu Chang didn't know how to persuade her. Thinking about how scared he was when Cui Ling disappeared, he unknowingly stood on the same front with Liang Tan.

"We must teach him a lesson," he said firmly.

Liang Tan sneered and hung up the phone, then ignored the knock on the door and went to wash her face and take care of her skin.

Cui Ling continued to stand at the door, refusing to leave no matter who tried to persuade her, and just knocked on the door again and again.

Although Liang Tan was very angry, she couldn't bear to do it for the time being because he was so persistent. Thinking about Wu Chang's words, "He said you don't want him anymore"... She took a deep breath and finally went to open the door.

The door opened, and Cui Ling opened her eyes wide: "Sister..."

"Do you know you are wrong?" Liang Tan asked with a stern face.

Cui Ling's eyes turned red when he heard this and he shut up immediately.

Liang Tan originally wanted him to apologize and the matter would be over, but when he suddenly became silent and confrontational, he immediately became angry again: "You still don't know you are wrong?"

"...I'm not wrong." Cui Ling lowered his head and refused to look at her.

Liang Tan was incredulous: "How dare you say such a thing?"

"That's right." Cui Ling's voice was almost choked.

...Is this the rebellious period of children? Liang Tan was directly mad at his two words.
