Since the last time Zhao Qian left, Zhong Nian's mood has remained low, whether he regrets it or has other thoughts, Xiao Lan doesn't know. It's just that she saw that the contact information that was originally placed outside the door was missing for no reason, and she already had the answer in her heart.

Specifically, Xiao Lan has no right to interfere with Zhong Nian's behavior, and she will not intervene. For example, if Zhong Nian insisted on not moving, Xiao Lan would also compromise. When you enter the mission, you have to treat everyone as if they were real beings, and speculate on what they will do next and how to avoid accidents. To better complete the task and devote himself to it, this is Xiao Lan's idea.

Zhong Nian took away the contact information, but there was no movement for a long time, and Xiao Lan did not ask, when nothing happened.

With the arrival of Yimo, through the help of Sun Dongquan before, Xiao Lan's grades have improved. She is basically stable at about 50 points above the first line, and she can be admitted to a better university, which is also Zhong Ming's hope, Xiao Lan will continue to maintain it, and go on according to Zhong Ming's original plan.

With the end of the first-model exam, Sun Dongquan's escort information was also issued, and there is no doubt that he passed the application of a private university in New York State, and the college entrance examination will not matter to him. The important task now is to pass the American college entrance examination and English language test in the second half of the year, so he must go to the United States early to adapt to life there.

In other words, he will leave for the United States in these two months, and Xiao Lan must complete the task within these two months to explain Zhong Ming's introverted emotions to Sun Dongquan.

There is already a fixed pattern for the three of them to go home at the same time after school, and the results are released after the first exam, and this day is the day when Sun Dongquan tells Zhong Nian and the others that he has passed the escort.

"Good news for you!" Sun Dongquan stood inexplicably in front of the two sisters and brothers, and said proudly, "I have passed the application to the American university!" ”

"Congratulations." Even though Xiao Lan knew the result a long time ago, she couldn't help but be moved by Sun Dongquan's happiness and be happy for him from the bottom of her heart.

Zhong Nian was naturally very happy to hear it, but he couldn't help but quip: "The power of love is really strong, am I also like you to have an American girlfriend, and I will be motivated to study." "Sun Dongquan's American girlfriend Zhong Nian has already seen the photos and is indeed a very beautiful girl.

"Then do you still take the college entrance examination?" Xiao Lan asked knowingly.

Sun Dongquan naturally shook his head, and he replied: "If you don't participate, the results of the college entrance examination are no longer within their conditions." I have to take this year's ACT and SAT (American High School Test) and meet their standards before I can officially enroll. ”

Zhong Nian thought for a while, thought of the time of the college entrance examination in the United States, frowned and said, "Then don't you have a few months to prepare?" "Isn't it going to be a lot of pressure? Zhong Nian thought about it from Sun Dongquan's point of view.

"There was no problem with the exams, and the hard conditions of that school were not high. My mother mainly thought about the difficulties of living abroad, and wanted me to get acquainted with the environment there first. So if there is no accident in these two months, I will leave for the United States. In the end, Sun Dongquan said his plan. As he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became sluggish.

"Don't show that kind of expression of life and death, I'm not dead." Sun Dongquan glanced at Zhong Nian's expression, and began to tease Zhong Nian again, "I just went there, I can also send you an email!" ”

Zhong Nian's emotions were not alleviated in the slightest, first his mother, and then Sun Dongquan, he could not let go.

"Hey, that's a good thing, okay?" Sun Dongquan felt that the atmosphere was not eased in the slightest, and he was also embarrassed, went up and put his hand on Zhong Nian's shoulder, and comforted, "Okay, in order to celebrate, I'll take you out tonight!" ”

Xiao Lan usually doesn't get involved with the two of them, unless it's good for her to tutor. As a result, Sun Dongquan's relationship with Zhong Nian is far better than that with Xiao Lan. Contrary to Zhong Ming's original memory, Sun Dongquan first became good friends with Zhong Ming, and he and Zhong Nian were ordinary friends.

Such different results can't help but make Xiao Lan feel interesting.

Xiao Lan still refused this invitation and took the bus home alone.

She looked at the unchanging scenery outside the window, her expression was in a trance, she was alone in the car, thinking that Sun Dongquan was about to leave, and the countdown to the task had begun, and she couldn't help but start thinking about the progress of the task.

The task has obviously reached an impasse, and Zhong Ming's wish is to "tell Sun Dongquan her inner feelings", but is her emotion like or gratitude? This is the first question that Xiao Lan needs to figure out.

If it is liked, after saying that he likes it, Zhong Ming hopes and hopes that Sun Dongquan will answer? Whether to accept or reject. What does she like about Sun Dongquan? How much do you like it? If it is thanks, what does she want to thank Sun Dongquan? Thanks for what? Do you need to repay the gratitude?

The task may seem simple, but it is complex. As Meng Po, Meng Po's task is to fulfill the wish of the task object, that is, to satisfy the other party. Xiao Lan understands that if she says it too casually, how can Zhong Ming buy it? Even if she could accept Zhong Ming's memory, she couldn't get her thoughts.

Xiao Lan looked at Zhong Ming as a person from the beginning. How could Zhong Ming hope for a stranger. Use your body to be with the person you like, so Xiao Lan has always kept her distance from Sun Dongquan and maintained the relationship of ordinary friends. Besides, Zhong Ming didn't know that Sun Dongquan had a girlfriend, if Zhong Ming knew, would he continue to like it?

Falling deeper and deeper, Xiao Lan had no choice but to go with the flow and drag it out a little longer, if things didn't progress again, she could only come hard, and there should be no problem in getting a passing grade.

Xiao Lan took the bus home, it was already late, and she saw Zhao Qian sitting at the door of her house. It was late autumn, and the weather had cooled down, but she was still wearing a long skirt and a coat, and she was standing at the door like that.

Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment, but still walked over. Zhao Qian's eyes lit up when she saw Xiao Lan coming, but she couldn't help but be disappointed when she didn't see Zhong Nian.

"What about Xiao Nian?" Zhao Qian walked over in high heels, didn't have any greeting to Xiao Lan, didn't even shout her name, and blurted out. Xiao Lan didn't care about such differential treatment.

In fact, if you put aside her differential treatment of Zhong Ming and Zhong Nian. To a certain extent, in her memory, Zhao Qian paid a lot to save Zhong Nian in order to wait for Zhong Nian, which shows that she may still have a little emotion for her son in her heart, which is much better than Zhong's father.

Xiao Lan can also see that Zhong Nian still has hope for Zhao Qian, and Zhao Qian can also repay such hope. It's just that Zhong Nian is still hesitating.

Considering many issues, Xiao Lan did not ignore her question this time, she opened her mouth and said, "Zhong Nian will come back later, do you want to come in and wait." ”

Zhao Qian thought that Xiao Lan would not respond, at least after the first meeting, she was indifferent. She nodded stunnedly, it was indeed cold to stand outside, and it was obviously better to wait for Zhong Nian inside. Moreover, if Zhong Ming can be convinced, then saving his son is half done, and with such a purpose, Zhao Qian followed Xiao Lan into the house.

The house is not big, two bedrooms and one living room, but the furniture is new, neat and tidy inside, which makes Zhao Qian very surprised and unexpected, because in her thoughts, she used to live with Father Zhong, and the living environment is inseparable from the word dirty and messy. She watched Xiao Lan turn on the heater and sit on the sofa.

"How did you find here?" Xiao Lan turned on the heater and sat opposite Zhao Qian and asked.

"Pay someone to investigate." She replied.

Zhao Qian went to the place where they used to live after Xiao Lan moved, and after no result, she spent money to hire someone to investigate, and the investigator found the address here directly through the moving company. As soon as she got the news, Zhao Qian came immediately, thinking that Zhong Nian would be very excited to see her, even if she was stopped by Zhong's father, she would sue and take Zhong Nian away.

Zhao Qian obviously didn't want Xiao Lan to ask too many of these irrelevant questions, she looked around, and didn't seem to see Father Zhong, even if she waited outside for a day and didn't see Father Zhong come back.

So she asked, "What about your dad?" ”

"Inside the prison." Xiao Lan did not hide the whereabouts of Father Zhong, and answered Zhao Qian's question.

Zhao Qian was shocked again, obviously not expecting Zhong's father to be in prison, so she thought that she was fighting for the custody of Zhong Nian, and the odds of winning were one more point.

Just as Zhao Qian was secretly happy, Xiao Lan threw a bombshell. She learned in Zhong Ming's memory that the two were not mother and daughter, so she directly singled out and said, "I don't have any blood relationship with you, right?" ”

"Yes, you're not my daughter." In her hesitation, Zhao Qian answered Xiao Lan's question, originally wanted to play the family card and let Xiao Lan help save Zhong Nian's idea was gone, she continued to explain, "We don't have any blood relationship. You were here before your dad and I did, and I don't know who your mother was. ”

Although she didn't know where Xiao Lan knew about it, she was happy to answer. If she was not her mother, she naturally would not have the obligation to support her, and it would be very reasonable to only take Zhong Nian away.

Xiao Lan saw that Zhao Qian did not hide it in the slightest, at least not as hypocrisy as she imagined, and her dislike for Zhao Qian was gone.

"And what are you here for?" Xiao Lan continued to ask.

Zhao Qian saw that Xiao Lan didn't have any reaction, didn't complain, didn't be surprised, only calm. Inexplicably, she feels that the current Zhong Ming has changed a lot from before, and her previous appearance is completely gone, and she has grown a lot. She thought that Xiao Lan had just grown up, and she didn't bother to deceive her anymore.

Xiao Lan's composure made Zhao Qian put her on an equal footing to talk. Among all of them, she was the only one who could accurately feel Xiao Lan's calm rationality and indifference.

"I want to take Zhong Nian away." Zhao Qian said what she meant.
