Liuli walked home with a brisk pace.

She was in a very good mood. She had conquered Yosano Akiko and the Akutagawa siblings within a day. If this were a game, the task progress bar would have undoubtedly advanced by 30%.

All that's left now is for Akutagawa to strengthen his melee combat abilities and further develop his powers before he can take the initiative and attack.

Liuli was very excited and thought, should she take some time to visit Dunjun in the orphanage? Maybe it would be a triple blessing.

Everything went smoothly, which was a sign of the story's happy ending.

When she opened the door, she didn't feel any anticipation. Lan Tang had been on a business trip for five days, and without him, home was just an empty house.

The light in the room was dim. Just as Liuli was about to turn on the fluorescent light, she saw the leather shoes neatly arranged at the entrance. Her eyes lit up instantly.

"elder brother!"

Words filled with joy flew out from between the lips and teeth, as if just calling this name made people feel sweet and happy.

Lan Tang walked out of the kitchen, with long black hair, golden-green eyes, and a tall and thin figure.

She wore the white earmuffs she bought on her ears, the red and black plaid scarf she knitted last Christmas around her neck, and the light brown windbreaker she bought.

So familiar, so clear.

We clearly weren't reluctant to part when we parted, and we clearly weren't sad when we didn't see each other, but when we met again, joy gushed out of our hearts like a tide, and there was no way to suppress it.

The next second, Liuli started running and pounced on Lan Tang. He opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

His heartbeat mixed with gentle words hit her eardrums and heart.

"Adele, I miss you so much, so much."

“Every skylark that flies by me makes me miss you.”

"I am like a swallow. All I want at all times is to fly back to my nest, back to you."

He thought about this every moment during the five days of his business trip.

Lan Tang’s business trip is to Italy.

The Vongola family was in trouble not long ago. The only son of the ninth generation, leader Varian XANXUS, launched the largest rebellion in the history of the Vongola family - the "Cradle Incident", which was suppressed after being frozen by the ninth generation.

After this, the ninth generation held a grand banquet and invited mafia organizations from all over the world to participate in order to defend the position of the godfather of the Vongola world.

As a small organization in the Far East, the Port Mafia is not ranked at all in the world. It just attends the banquet for the sake of appearance, feels the intimidation of Big Brother, and then continues to retreat to its original position.

No one paid any attention to this small group of people at the banquet. The main underground force in the island country was the Sheqi Eight Families entrenched in Kyoto.

The cadre colonel and a small team he brought with him stood on the windowsill, holding champagne and talking in low voices.

"Their new young master is only fifteen or sixteen years old. It is said that he was found in the mountains. His surname is Yuan!"

This sigh made others sigh as well, but Lan Tang remained unmoved.

As a Frenchman, he neither understood nor cared about these things. He just stared at the violets on the table not far away and thought of a girl's eyes.

"ciao~"

A little baby suddenly appeared beside them and greeted Lan Tang.

The colonel and others gasped, not knowing how to react.

The famous Rainbow Child of the other world, Arcobaleno of the Sun-attribute, and Reborn, the most trusted killer of the ninth generation of Vongola, suddenly appeared beside them. This is not a good sign.

The colonel winked at Lan Tang, indicating that he must take it seriously.

Lan Tang put down the champagne and nodded at him a little dazedly, "Good evening."

Reborn asked casually, "Is there something wrong with the food over there? You've been looking at that table."

Lan Tang was stunned for a moment, and once again fixed his gaze on the person across from him. He heard his own calm voice,

"The color of that bouquet of violets is beautiful, just like... my sister's eyes."

Reborn pinched the brim of his hat and continued to ask, "Is she here too?"

"No." Lan Tang shook his head. "That's why I miss her so much. We haven't seen each other for two days and one night."

The French spoke slowly and his eyes were not focused on Reborn, which is quite impolite behavior in social situations.

But Reborn wasn't angry. On the contrary, a hint of interest appeared in his eyes. "So, you're thinking of someone because of the flowers?"

Lan Tang thought about his words seriously and nodded.

"My sister, she once said to me—"

“Love is like a flower.”

"If you fall in love with a flower that grows on a star, then at night you will feel sweet and happy when you look at the sky, and all the stars will seem to be blooming with flowers."

"So, I feel happy when I see that violet because that's the color of her eyes."

Reborn did not answer. He looked at Lan Tang for a while and found that this man had no other fluctuations at all.

He really thought so.

Among a group of Mafia, in front of his old acquaintance, this guy who should have died five years ago was here thinking about his sister as if no one was around.

My dear sister wouldn't be like this, right?

Reborn smacked his lips idly, thinking that he might have found the truth.

He said, how could the transcendent duo of Rimbaud and Verlaine fail in a small country in the Far East, and end up with one person dying and the other defecting.

I'm afraid that Rimbaud fell in love with a girl and chose to elope for love and live an ordinary life.

French, not surprising.

Thinking of this, he was too lazy to investigate why this dead French spy appeared here. He just raised his hand slowly, lowered the brim of his hat, and said casually,

"What a touching friendship. Don't worry, this party won't last long. In three days at most, you can leave."

Thinking of Verlaine who was tricked into defecting by the man in front of him, Reborn did not forget to kindly remind him,

"It would be better to leave early. After all, there are so many people here, and my sister will be worried about you."

Verlaine travels around Europe all year round, maybe he just happened to run into him?

It's interesting to see two transcendents fighting each other, but it wouldn't be so interesting if it happened in his hometown of Italy.

"Yeah." Lan Tang withdrew his gaze and nodded in thanks as if deeply touched. "Thank you for the reminder."

Reborn's small eyes glanced down, and he could hardly look the Frenchman in the face.

Rimbaud was not like this back then. Beneath his outward elegance and humility lay a great deal of arrogance, and deep down he carried an arrogance and rebelliousness that was difficult to conceal.

After falling in love, such a big change occurred.

Love is truly magical.

Let migratory birds willingly give up the south and stay with one person.

"But this love..."

"And so intoxicating..."

"If I don't love her..."

"Youth is wasted...*"

He hummed an Italian love song and returned to the ninth generation, leaving Randou and the colonel and his group looking at each other in confusion.

"Lan Tang, do you know..." The colonel didn't say the name, but just hinted with his eyes.

The Frenchman shook his head honestly. He was not surprised by the appearance of the baby, but he didn't feel familiar with it either.

If they had known each other in the past, the other party would at least communicate with him, but the other party didn't care about his situation at all.

It seems that they are strangers meeting for the first time.

This is really unfair to Li Baoen. Regardless of any personal relationship, Lan Tang's past career was a spy, and a French spy at that.

A French spy, supposedly dead, suddenly appears in Italy, at a Vongola party.

He didn't attack directly, but tried to control the person as much as possible, because they had some friendship in the past.

Who knows what Lan Tang’s current situation is? For both public and private reasons, it is impossible for either of them to talk about it openly.

As for whether to talk in private, Reborn originally had this idea, but seeing that this guy kept talking about his beloved sister, he felt that there was no need to reminisce about the past.

Since his old friend decided to choose a peaceful life, he naturally had to respect him.

The colonel was skeptical about Lan Tang's words, but recalling the conversation between the two just now, he really couldn't guess anything. He could only attribute it to the magical sensory cognition of Italians and French.

After all, they all like romance and love, which is incompatible with the island people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but jokingly said, "You haven't seen your sister for only two days, is it necessary to be so exaggerated?"

Lan Tang's speech was still slow, "Two days and one night."

"Forty-four hours and seven minutes."

"We've never been apart for so long since the day we met."
