Cui Ling nodded happily and chatted with her for a few more words before reluctantly hanging up.

Liang Tan was in a very good mood after finishing the call. He turned off the phone and closed his eyes.

She originally wanted to go to bed early to kill time, but the more she wanted to sleep, the more she couldn't fall asleep. After tossing and turning for a while, she suddenly felt a little uneasy. Her heart was pounding, and she always felt that something was going to happen.

Just as this thought came to mind, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by the panicked voice of the housekeeper: "Boss Liang, something bad has happened! There was an attack at the school where Master Cui is studying, and hundreds of people were injured!"

Liang Tan's mind buzzed, and he stumbled out with his phone in hand: "What did you say?"

"I... I just called Young Master Cui, but the call didn't go through. Please try again!" the housekeeper said anxiously.

Before he could finish, Liang Tan had already called. However, he usually answered the phone immediately, but at this moment, his phone rang many times without being connected. Liang Tan's fingers trembled as he called Wu Chang and Zhou Cang again.

Unfortunately, when I called, the line was either busy or no one answered.

Liang Tan's face became paler and paler, but he remained calm: "Book a flight. If there is no flight available, charter a plane or borrow a private plane. Leave as soon as possible."

"Okay!" The housekeeper hurried to do it.

Liang Tan returned to the room trembling and tried to change his clothes, but he couldn't unbutton his pajamas no matter how many times he tried.

"Don't panic... Don't panic... As long as the world hasn't collapsed, it means he's fine." Liang Tan repeated it over and over again, but he still couldn't calm down. In the end, he could only reluctantly put on a coat over his pajamas, then turned and left.

She arrived at the airport in the shortest time possible, and she was still trembling when the plane soared into the sky?

These were the longest dozen hours in her life, and during these dozen hours, her mind was filled with all the experiences she had. Her past emotions had been taken away by the system, but she could still sense how much love she had had in the past.

After more than ten long hours, she was picked up by a waiting vehicle as soon as she left the airport. She first went to the villa, and when she found that the villa was empty, she tremblingly asked someone to turn the car around and go to Cui Ling's school.

After just over ten hours, the school had returned to normal order, but the large piles of white flowers on the campus and the bloodstains on the ground that had not yet been cleaned up were all signs of what had happened here.

When Liang Tan saw the bloodstains that had turned black, his eyes also turned black, but he finally endured it. He gritted his teeth and asked the hospital that accepted the students, and then began to look for them one by one.

I can’t find it, I can’t find it no matter what... Liang Tan, who had been calm for more than ten hours, was on the verge of collapse, but he still searched everywhere with one breath.

Finally, she arrived at the hospital where the dead body was kept.

When she saw dozens of white beds in the hall, she told herself that Cui Ling must still be alive, but her hands and feet still felt weak. At this moment, she had forgotten about the mission and the time travel, and completely regarded herself and Cui Ling as ordinary people.

Ordinary people who will die and disappear.

"Cui Ling..." She murmured softly and staggered towards the first bed. Her eyes instantly became wet after she lifted the white cloth.

Not this one……

What about the next one? She continued to walk down, looking through them one by one. When she saw these bloody faces, her heart felt as if it was about to die.

I don't know how long it took, but there was only one left.

Liang Tan stared blankly for a moment, then tentatively reached out his hand...

"elder sister?"

A familiar voice came from behind him. Liang Tan was stunned. All the strength in his body was drained away in an instant and he fell to the ground.

"elder sister!"

Liang Tan sat stiffly where he was, not daring to look back, his fingers pinching the white cloth trembling more and more violently.

After a long time, a warm feeling came from behind, and strong arms hugged her: "I'm fine, I'm fine..."

Liang Tan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then spoke as calmly as possible: "Call the housekeeper back, he is very worried about you."

"...I lost my cell phone." Cui Ling spoke cautiously.

Liang Tan said expressionlessly: "Mine is in my pocket."

Cui Ling paused, took out her cell phone from her pocket, and called the housekeeper without even taking a look at her expression.

"Uncle, it's me, I'm fine... Well, uncle, don't worry... Okay, I know, I will take good care of my sister." Although the housekeeper couldn't see, Cui Ling still nodded obediently on the phone.

After the one-minute call, Cui Ling walked around to Liang Tan. When he met her cold eyes, he felt guilty for a moment, but still reached out to her obediently: "Sister, can we go home first?"

When they met at this moment, Liang Tan saw the gauze on his forehead. After more than ten hours, the gauze had become a little dirty, and was faintly red.

"Are there any other injuries?" Liang Tan asked.

Cui Ling shook his head: "No, I wasn't in the center of the attack. These injuries were caused by fragments from the explosion."

Liang Tan didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. He supported himself on the ground and tried to stand up. However, just after he moved, he fell weakly to the ground again.

Cui Ling quickly hugged her, half dragged and half hugged her up from the ground, and the two of them walked out silently against the crowd.

Half an hour later, the two returned to the house that Cui Ling rented. Liang Tan took off his coat after entering the house, and Cui Ling realized that she was still wearing pajamas.

I have known her for two years. In my memory, she is always respectable and proper. This is the first time she appears outside the house in just pajamas. Cui Ling was stunned and suddenly felt a little guilty.

Liang Tan poured a glass of water and drank it slowly while sitting on the sofa. Cui Ling came to her like a child who had made a mistake, lowered his head and whispered, "Sister, I'm sorry."

Liang Tan's eyes moved slightly, but he refused to look at him.

"When I heard the news, I was so anxious that I went to rescue people. I forgot to report my safety to you first. Master and the others also went to help. When I remembered, it was already early in the morning where you were. I thought you were asleep..." Cui Ling spoke incoherently, and her voice became smaller and smaller. Finally, she became quiet and spoke carefully after a while, "Sister, I'm sorry."

Liang Tan closed his eyes tiredly.

"Sister," Cui Ling stepped forward and carefully held her hand, "Can you take care of me?"

Liang Tan's throat moved for a long time before he spoke lightly: "I'm very tired, please stop talking."

Cui Ling was stunned and withdrew his hand with a pale face.

Liang Tan fell asleep directly on the sofa. She hadn't rested for nearly thirty hours. She was completely relaxed and could no longer control her fatigue. She fell into a deep sleep without any consciousness.

Cui Ling stood guard quietly by the side, from day to night, and from night to early morning.

Liang Tan slept for more than ten hours. When he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed. Cui Ling was sitting on the sofa beside the bed, sleeping soundly in a corner.

Liang Tan stared at the gauze on his head quietly for a moment, then he lifted the quilt and got up.

Cui Ling woke up almost the moment she lifted the quilt. Seeing that she was about to get up, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes: "Sister, where are you going?"

Liang Tan didn't want to pay attention to him.

On her way here, she prayed that as long as he was fine, she would do whatever he wanted in the future. But when she saw that he was fine, she suddenly became furious.

Yes, she was angry. She had been angry since she found out he was alive and well.

She could understand that he was too panicked when he first experienced the attack, and she could also understand that he was busy saving people later. But no matter how panicked and anxious he was, it was impossible for him to be completely busy for these ten or so hours. He always had time to take a break.

However, he never called her, never thought of reporting that he was safe, and left her worrying until she found him.

The most annoying thing was that she believed what he said was true, and he didn't call her just because he didn't want to disturb her sleep. He actually thought she could sleep at this time!

"Sister..." Cui Ling couldn't help but pull her arm.

Liang Tan suppressed his anger: "I don't want to talk to you."

Cui Ling was stunned.

Liang Tan realized that he shouldn't speak so harshly to someone who had just escaped death. After a pause, he felt that he couldn't control himself, so he could only settle for the next best thing: "You should go back to Wu Chang's place in the next two days."

Cui Ling's eyes instantly turned red, but Liang Tan didn't want to coax him, he just asked him to leave first.

Cui Ling looked back every few steps, and when she reached the door, she choked up and said, "Sister, you must be hungry. I'll order takeout for you."

Liang Tan ignored him.

Cui Ling rubbed his eyes, turned around and walked out.

boom.

The door closed and Liang Tan breathed a sigh of relief.

Twenty minutes later, there was another knock on the door. She paused and walked out, and saw a breakfast bag on the ground. Liang Tan pursed her lips, took it into the house, and ate the first meal since yesterday.

She didn't go out for the next two days. Three meals a day were delivered to her door. After she finished eating, she put the garbage at the door and someone would help collect it.

The time zone here is later than that in China. Yesterday was the 15th in China, and today is the 15th here. If we calculate according to the time in China, Cui Ling’s birthday has already passed, but according to today’s...

Liang Tan glanced at his phone. It was 23:43 pm, and there were minutes left until tomorrow.

The days she had been looking forward to for so long were passing by in a dull manner, and she felt neither sad nor happy in her heart.

Wu Chang and Zhou Cang came yesterday and started apologizing as soon as they saw her. She only had one request, which was to take Cui Ling away. With Cui Ling's current strength, it would be more than enough for him to be a visiting professor at any university in China, not to mention studying. There was really no need for him to stay in this chaotic place.

Wu Chang felt guilty, and although he still wanted to keep her, he gave up after seeing her expression. He just couldn't help but say before leaving: "Cui Ling really loves you, don't be angry with him."

"Oh, then I'm angry with you?" Liang Tan asked back.

Wu Chang: “…”

Zhou Cang, who was also in the wrong, decisively took Wu Chang and left.

The minute on the phone started ticking again. Liang Tan came back to his senses and found that it was already 23:57 p.m. In three minutes, Cui Ling's birthday would be over in every sense.

Liang Tan was silent for a long time, and finally opened the door.

The corridor outside the door was quiet, as if there was no one there.

"Come out." Liang Tan said with a stern face.

There was silence outside for a moment, and then something moved behind the trash can in the corner, and then silently came to her: "Sister."

She asked why she hadn't seen him, and he was hiding behind the trash can. Liang Tan almost laughed out of anger, narrowing his eyes and mocking: "You are a good delivery boy, delivering meals on time every day and helping to collect trash. Do you want me to give you a good review?"

"Sister." Cui Ling called her again.

"Cui Ling," Liang Tan raised his eyes and looked at him, "You are really childish."

What Cui Ling feared most in her life from Liang Tan was that she was childish. Upon hearing that, she panicked: "Sister..."

"You are so naive. You don't know the importance of anything. Is my sleep important? Is it more important than your reporting safety? When will you really grow up and be a little more sensible?" Liang Tan let out the anger in his heart.

Cui Ling stared at her blankly, and after a long while, he choked up and said, "So... you won't love me anymore, right? You still think I'm a child, so you give up..."

Before he could finish his words, Liang Tan grabbed him by the collar and kissed him.

Cui Ling was stunned, and when he came to his senses, he had already been dragged into the house by Liang Tan.

The door closed with a bang, and the two of them kissed each other as they retreated. When they reached the bed, Liang Tan pushed the man down on the bed and took off his pants with a stern face.

Cui Ling was completely stunned until the zipper was unzipped. Then he belatedly asked, "Sister, have you forgiven me?"

"No!" Liang Tan said angrily.

After she finished speaking, she noticed that someone had frozen, and she looked up unhappily, and sure enough, she saw that he looked hurt.

Liang Tan patted his thin waist and then pinched his jaw: "If I don't forgive you, I can't sleep with you?"

Cui Ling was shocked by her bold choice of words.

Liang Tan smiled, straddled him and kissed him vigorously: "Classmate Cui Ling, I am already thirty years old, physically and mentally healthy. When I talk about love, it is not just about holding hands and taking a walk. If you are not mentally prepared, I think..."

"We... are in love?" Cui Ling interrupted blankly.

Liang Tan pinched his jaw: "Yes now, but if you don't tell me in time if there is anything in the future, then we will break up..."

Liang Tan spoke with great awe.

Cui Ling suddenly realized and kissed her.

Before they knew it, it was already early morning, the temperature gradually dropped, and the two of them hid in bed.

Liang Tan stayed at Cui Ling's place for nearly a week. Although the domestic company was in the off-season and there was nothing for her to do, she still insisted on going back, not for anything else, just to have a good rest.

Cui Ling was going to go with her, but he had to stay to handle the transfer procedures, so he could only send her off first. Fortunately, he didn't delay for too long, and he got everything done in half a month.

Before returning home, he solemnly said goodbye to Wu Chang and Zhou Cang.

Wu Chang snorted coldly: "Stinky boy, are you happy now?"

Cui Ling did not hide her teeth, revealing a row of small white teeth.

Wu Chang laughed angrily: "Don't be complacent, I will soon shift my focus back to China. If the university you are going to invite me to attend classes, you still have to come when the time comes."

Cui Ling was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reached out and hugged him: "Thank you, Master!"

"...I didn't go back just for you, why are you thanking me? Fallen leaves return to their roots, don't you understand?!" Wu Chang complained, but still patted his back with a smile.

After two years abroad, Cui Ling finally set out on the journey home.
