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

Liang Tan patted his face, reminding himself not to be too proud.

Cui Ling went abroad again and was obviously busy. She had to chat with Liang Tan on video several times while doing homework. Every time at this time, Liang Tan would look at his child studying with a loving face and would never disturb him unless it was absolutely necessary.

After repeating this several times, Cui Ling felt guilty: "Sister..."

"Sister likes you to study hard," Liang Tan knew what he wanted to say and spoke first, "The harder you study, the happier Sister will be."

"But I haven't been with you enough." Cui Ling looked at her on the phone, the admiration in his eyes almost unconcealable.

Liang Tan wanted to rub his head, but because they were halfway across the world, he had to give up in the end: "There's still a lot of room for growth in the future."

Cui Ling liked to hear her talk about the future, especially her own future. The corners of her lips curled up when she heard that.

After getting through the chaos at the beginning of the school year, Cui Ling gradually got used to campus life. His world was getting bigger and bigger. Liang Tan often heard strange names other than Wu Chang and Zhou Cang from him, and often heard him mention things like art galleries and museums.

Gradually, a name appeared more and more in his mouth. Liang Tan learned from his description that it was an 18-year-old girl who had just entered university. She came from the same place as them. She was very cheerful and lively, and every teacher and classmate liked her.

At first, Liang Tan just listened casually, but as he mentioned it more and more, she began to pay attention to it. Finally, one time, she couldn't help asking, "Do you like her?"

"I like it." Cui Ling replied.

Liang Tan blinked his eyes, hiding the little depression in his heart and asked seriously: "Do you like her like a friend or like a lover?"

Cui Ling was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became unhappy after realizing what was going on, and hung up the phone directly.

Liang Tan, who was upset after being rejected, was confused and snorted coldly after a long time.

If the child gets angry, the consequences will be serious, but Liang Tan is not afraid of boiling water. He takes this opportunity to concentrate on dealing with the company's affairs first, and then goes to find him after that.

When she made the video call, two days had passed since Cui Ling hung up the phone.

48 hours is neither short nor long. Liang Tan guessed that he would not answer his call, but he answered the phone as soon as it rang.

When he saw the familiar face on the phone screen, Liang Tan's eyes flashed with surprise: "Are you willing to answer it?"

Cui Ling looked at her silently with a stern face.

Liang Tan laughed dryly: "Are you still angry?"

Cui Ling snorted softly.

A hint of surprise flashed in Liang Tan's eyes. It was not her fault. This was the first time Cui Ling had lost his temper with her since she came into this world. He was like a soft little cat, making people want to tease him more.

Liang Tan sighed with pretended regret: "I wanted to talk to you more, but since you are still angry, forget it."

After saying that, he pretended to hang up the phone.

Cui Ling was anxious and said quickly: "No!"

Liang Tan stopped decisively: "Okay, no."

Seeing her like this, even a fool could tell that she was deliberately playing a trick on him. Cui Ling looked at her for a long time with a stern face, and his eyes turned red again.

Liang Tan realized that she had gotten into trouble, and hurried to comfort her: "Be good, don't cry. I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I'm sorry, Cui Ling..."

"No apologies allowed." Cui Ling frowned.

Liang Tan was helpless: "Isn't it better to apologize?"

Cui Ling looked at her with a stern face, which seemed not good. Liang Tan had no choice but to give in: "Then I won't apologize."

Cui Ling was satisfied, and after adjusting his mood, he slowly said: "I don't like anyone else."

Liang Tan's eyes moved slightly.

"I listened to you and made more friends, but I didn't like anyone else," Cui Ling looked at her face and said eagerly, "I only like my sister."

It was like a cup of spicy hot red wine, flowing all the way through the throat into the stomach, warming the whole body. Liang Tan looked at him steadily, and smiled after a while: "Thank you Cui Ling."

Cui Ling looked at her silently, obviously wanting to hear more than just this.

Liang Tan raised his lips: "What you want to hear can only be told to you when you are twenty years old."

"Can you really say it?" Cui Ling asked seriously.

Liang Tan nodded: "Of course."

Cui Ling was immediately happy again.

After hanging up the phone, he held the phone and was reluctant to leave for a while before he walked out with the book in his arms. The school he was attending was only a 30-minute walk from Wu Chang's villa, so even when he was in school, he still lived in the villa.

But he still secretly rented a small house near the school. When his classes were full, he would eat lunch and take naps there, and most of the time it was empty.

Not for anything else, just so that if Liang Tan comes to see him again in the future, he will have a place to stay.

He did not hide the fact that he rented a house from Wu Chang and the others, and it was Zhou Cang who helped him sign the contract in the end, so his attitude towards Zhou Cang has become much better recently.

Of course, the other reason for being nice to Zhou Cang was that Zhou Cang had recently fallen in love with a passionate and unrestrained woman, a completely different type from Liang Tan.

"Cui Ling, are you going to class?" Zhou Cang, who was about to go out on a date, saw him and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

Cui Ling nodded obediently and continued walking out with the book in his arms.

Zhou Cang sighed and turned to look at Wu Chang who was drinking coffee: "See, you are getting more and more enthusiastic towards me."

"...It seems that our definitions of passion are different." Wu Chang glanced at him.

Zhou Cang immediately laughed, and ran to the yard to stop Cui Ling who was about to walk away: "Don't go! I'll take you there!"

It would be great if he didn’t have to walk by himself, so Cui Ling stopped decisively.

It usually takes 30 minutes to walk, but it only takes a few minutes to get a ride. When Cui Ling entered the classroom, there was no one around. He lowered his eyes, put the textbook on the table, and started to preview the part he was going to learn today.

"You are probably the only college student in the school who knows how to prepare for class."

A joking voice sounded, and Cui Ling looked up. It was the girl he had often mentioned to Liang Tan before, and she was also the source of their quarrel this time.

After seeing who it was, Cui Ling nodded to the person, then lowered his head and continued reading.

The girl was used to it. After sitting down next to him, she stole a few glances at him and finally put a piece of milk candy on his table: "Do you like sweet food?"

"Thank you." Cui Ling took it and began to peel off the candy wrapper.

He was serious and down-to-earth in everything he did. Even when peeling candy wrappers, he would first observe the candy packaging and then apply gentle force along the serrations.

In the sunlight, his drooping eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes. His excellent facial features were like the most perfect work sculpted by a master sculptor, which attracted people unconsciously at first sight.

There were sounds of fighting outside the classroom, but they were the only two people in the classroom. The girl's cheeks gradually turned red, and after a while she spoke carefully: "Can I... tell you something?"

"Speak." Cui Ling said, putting the milk candy into his mouth.

"I like you." The girl mustered up the courage.

Cui Ling was stunned.

"...We come from the same place, have a common language, and are compatible with each other's personalities. Most importantly, we are both single. Do you want to consider it?" The girl said, holding her breath and looking at Cui Ling.

To be honest, although she was nervous at the moment, she didn't think Cui Ling would reject her. After all, as she said, they were probably the most suitable people in the world.

Cui Ling was still in a daze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and a trace of panic finally flashed in his eyes.

"Do you want to agree?" The girl's eyes sparkled.

However, the next second, Cui Ling took out the melted candy in his mouth in front of her and stuffed it back into the candy wrapper stiffly.

girl:"?"

"I'll give it back to you." Cui Ling said, and handed the candy to her carefully.

girl:"……"

Seeing that she didn't take it, Cui Ling looked at the sticky candy wrapper again, and finally realized that it was inappropriate. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I'll buy another one and give it back to you."

"...If you don't agree, then don't agree. Why be so disgusting!" The girl finally got angry and rushed out with a red face.

Cui Ling watched her disappear innocently, and it took a long time before he looked at the candy in his hand again... He threw it into the trash can with a serious look on his face, and then went to the supermarket downstairs to buy a bag before class, took out a candy and put it in the girl's pencil case.

That night, as soon as he got home, he made a video call to Liang Tan.

As soon as Liang Tan answered the phone, he said seriously, "I'm sorry."

"...Hmm?" Liang Tan looked confused.

Cui Ling pursed her lips and told him what happened today, then a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes: "Sister, did you guess it, that's why you asked me that?"

Liang Tan: “…” No, just a casual question.

"I will keep my distance in the future," Cui Ling said, thought for a moment, and added, "Make more friends, but keep your distance."

Liang Tan blinked, and after a while he slowly spoke: "If you insist... it's fine, but you have to be careful not to hurt your friends. Of course, the most important thing is your own feelings. Don't make friends just for the sake of making friends. You have to listen to your inner opinions."

Some people are born to be sociable, while some are born to be alone. Cui Ling belongs to the latter, but it has reached the point where it affects his normal life, so she hopes that he can go out more often.

But the premise of all this is that he has to be happy.

Cui Ling understood what she meant and nodded seriously.

As the days passed, the two people, separated by thousands of miles, lived their own lives and kept in touch, and gradually adapted to this kind of life.

After discovering that Cui Ling's separation anxiety was very serious, Liang Tan gave up the idea of ​​visiting him, so as not to make him happy for three days and miserable for a week. Even so, time still passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the new summer vacation.

"I still can't go back this year." Cui Ling was very disappointed. Since he became famous last summer, his life has been filled with various interviews and art world gatherings, and every summer is extremely busy.

Liang Tan comforted him: "Wu Chang told me that he would let you come back in September."

His twentieth birthday is in September.

Thinking about what birthdays mean, Cui Ling perked up a little, but still couldn't help feeling disappointed: "Sister, I miss you so much."

"Be good, we'll see each other soon." Liang Tan continued to comfort her.

Cui Ling curled her lips and suddenly accused: "You don't even miss me."

Liang Tan: “?”

"If I don't go back, I won't bother you anymore," Cui Ling said, and began to feel wronged. "Of course I'm happy that you don't have to deal with me."

Liang Tan: "...Classmate Cui Ling, please stop being unreasonable."

Cui Ling kept a straight face and said nothing.

Liang Tan sighed and quietly accompanied him in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly softened like a deflated balloon: "I'm sorry, sister. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you."

"Sister misses you too." Liang Tan's eyes were gentle.

Cui Ling pursed her lips: "But you never come to see me."

"If you weren't sad for several days every time I saw you, I would have died a long time ago." Liang Tan expressed his injustice.

Cui Ling looked at her eagerly: "But if you come tomorrow, I will start to be happy today."

Liang Tan: “…”

It has to be said that Cui Ling, who has no language barrier, is very scary. Before Liang Tan hung up the phone, he had already tricked her into booking a flight ticket. By the time he realized that he was too impulsive, it was too late.

In desperation, I had to do all the work I needed to do in advance and set aside a week to visit him.

The day Liang Tan arrived, he happened to arrive at an exhibition at Cui Ling's school. Although Cui Ling usually did not participate in these activities, as one of the school's most famous alumni, he still had to stay at the exhibition as a mascot.

But today's mascot was absent-minded and wanted to leave after just one hour. Seeing this, his classmates hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"

"To pick up my girlfriend," he replied.

The classmate was stunned: "When did you get a girlfriend?"

"September."

The classmate was surprised: "Why have I never heard you say that? Was it last September?"

"This September."

Classmate: “…” Isn’t it time to arrive yet?

He watched Cui Ling run away in silence, and when someone came to ask Cui Ling where he was going, he just said "to pick up my girlfriend", so before Liang Tan arrived, the identity label had already been affixed.

This exhibition is very important to the school and is one of the best opportunities for many students to show their talents to investors. Although Cui Ling did not need to show his talents in this way, he still cooperated and took out a painting to hang at the exhibition.

After Liang Tan followed him to school, the first thing he did was to take Liang Tan to see paintings.

"This time I'm finally drawing more than just two hands," Liang Tan looked at the overly simple composition on the drawing board, a smile on his lips, "But isn't this painting a bit too perfunctory? It's just an arc and a red dot."

She was a businessman in this world and knew nothing about this kind of art. After looking at it for a long time, she could only see that there was a blank space above the arc, and a flesh-pink color of varying shades was painted below the arc. However, the flesh-pink accounted for a very small proportion, as if the painters were reluctant to use more paint.

When she said this, a laugh came from the side. Liang Tan looked over in confusion and saw a girl with bright looks.

"Cui Ling painted half of a woman's shoulder. He used less material because he didn't want to show more. Don't you feel the love in this painting?" The girl tried not to be emotional, but still showed her contempt for the ignorant. "Cui Ling's paintings always break the rules, but they can show infinite tension. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be one of the greatest painters in the world."

She heard that Cui Ling brought his girlfriend, so she came to take a look. When she saw Liang Tan, she was stunned at first, and then she realized that she should be a few years older than them. The ordinary skirt she was wearing was the latest model of a luxury brand, which cost at least six figures.

She felt a little uncomfortable, and when Liang Tan couldn't even understand the content of the painting, this discomfort turned into contempt.
