"An Lan?"
By the time Shen Lang reacted, the other party was already gone.
When Shen Lang opened the file bag, he only saw the donor's name written as An Lan on the deed of gift.
Suddenly becoming the owner of the bar, Shen Lang felt a bit dizzy.
He had only come for a drink to drown his sorrows, and never expected something like this to happen.
After signing his name on the deed of gift, Shen Lang walked to the bar, found the key to the door, locked the bar, and left.
It was already half past eleven at night when Shen Lang returned to the villa.
However, when Shen Lang opened the door, he found the villa brightly lit, and Yu Xiao and Yu Fei sleeping curled up on the sofa like two kittens.
"These two girls, didn't they say they didn't need to wait for me?"
Seeing the two sleeping figures, Shen Lang felt an unprecedented warmth in his heart. A gentle smile spread across his face. He walked over, gently picked up Yu Xiao, and took her back to Yu Xiao's room. He carefully turned on the air conditioning and covered Yu Xiao with a blanket.
Then, Shen Lang walked out of the room and carried Yu Fei back to his own room, turned on the air conditioning for her, and covered her with a blanket.
After doing all this, Shen Lang went back to his room, found a clean set of clothes, and went into the bathroom.
Because of that cup of Worry-Free Wine, and because of the woman in the black dress named An Lan, Shen Lang's mood once again became melancholic.
"Will we meet again?"
"If we meet again, will she still be herself then?"
Shen Lang's mind was filled with An Lan's tearful face as she left, his heart in turmoil.
After taking a cold shower, Shen Lang returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and recited the "Ice Heart Technique" seven or eight times before he could calm his mind.
After his mind calmed down, Shen Lang was surprised to find that after the battle with Can Dao, his Xuan Guan had loosened considerably. Although he couldn't break through to the Di realm immediately, Shen Lang believed it wouldn't be long.
Thinking of this, Shen Lang's mood improved slightly. He slowly forgot about An Lan and drifted off to sleep.
Shen Lang slept until ten in the morning.
When Shen Lang got up and walked into the living room, he found that Yu Xiao and Yu Fei had already prepared breakfast.
"Brother Shen, you're awake?"
Seeing Shen Lang appear, Yu Xiao and Yu Fei had shy expressions on their faces, and they said in faint voices.
Last night, the two of them waited for Shen Lang on the sofa for too long and were too tired that they ended up falling asleep uncontrollably.
This morning, however, they woke up in their own beds.
Yu Xiao and Yu Fei both knew that Shen Lang didn't have the strength to carry them back to their rooms.
So, the only explanation was that Shen Lang had carried them back to their rooms when he returned last night.
Thinking of this, their fair faces flushed.
Shen Lang looked at the shy Yu Xiao and Yu Fei, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. He said, "I got back a bit late last night, so I didn't want to wake you."
With that, Shen Lang sat down at the dining table.
The breakfast was very rich, including white porridge, congee, steamed buns, and even Jianbing Guozi, which Yu Xiao had fried herself.
Yu Xiao and Yu Fei knew how much Shen Lang ate, so they prepared a large quantity.
For this breakfast, Shen Lang drank two large bowls of white porridge, ate three plates of congee, six steamed buns, and two Jianbing Guozi.
Shen Lang was this kind of person; he would rather eat until he was full than not eat enough.
Compared to Shen Lang, what Yu Xiao and Yu Fei ate was negligible. They drank a bowl of white porridge and then stopped.
After wiping their mouths clean, Yu Xiao suddenly looked at Shen Lang, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"Xiao Xiao, is something wrong?"
Seeing this, Shen Lang asked.
"Brother Shen, today is Monday. I took the morning off, but I have to go to school in the afternoon and will be back very late, possibly around ten in the evening..."
Hearing this, Shen Lang was stunned. He suddenly remembered that Yu Xiao was sixteen or seventeen years old and was still a high school student.
"Okay—"
Shen Lang nodded and said, "I understand."
"Brother Shen, I... I have to go to school too."
After Shen Lang finished speaking, Yu Fei spoke up.
Shen Lang was only slightly surprised that Yu Xiao had to go to school, as Yu Xiao was already of school age.
Although both Yu Fei and Yu Xiao were of school age, they had been paralyzed since childhood and should not have gone to school. Shen Lang was shocked by the sudden news that they were going to school.
Seeing Shen Lang's reaction, Yu Fei explained, "Brother Shen, although I was paralyzed before, I was still attending a special school. I am also a student."
"Now that my body has recovered, after communicating with our school principal and the principal of Nanling High School, I can attend Nanling High School, and I will be in the same class as my sister."
This time, Shen Lang finally understood.
He looked at Yu Xiao and Yu Fei and smiled, "Then you can go to school. I'll pick you up after school in the evening."
"As for me, you don't need to worry. I'm not the kind of person who expects to be waited on hand and foot. I'll take care of myself."
Shen Lang knew that Yu Xiao's hesitation was because she was worried that no one would take care of Shen Lang's daily needs while she was at school. Therefore, Shen Lang directly told her to rest assured.
Hearing this, Yu Xiao opened her arms and hugged Shen Lang, saying tenderly, "Brother Shen, I can't bear to leave you. I don't want to be separated from you, not even for a moment."
She looked at Shen Lang, her dark, lustrous eyes wide open, and said, "When I graduate from high school and go to university, I'll be old enough to get married. Then I'll marry you, and we'll never be apart."
Looking at Yu Xiao, Shen Lang's heart warmed. He kissed Yu Xiao's forehead affectionately and said, "I'll wait for you."
Half an hour later, Yu Xiao and Yu Fei packed their things and took a taxi to school. Shen Lang was left alone in the villa.
Shen Lang thought about going out to buy a car so that he could pick up Yu Xiao and Yu Fei from school in the evening.
However, as Shen Lang changed into his clothes and shoes and opened the door, he saw a woman standing outside.
The woman was about twenty-five years old, with delicate features, long hair reaching her waist, and dressed in purple, exuding nobility and elegance.
Shen Lang knew this woman and had met her twice before.
She was none other than Ye Shishi.
"Shishi?"
Shen Lang never expected Ye Shishi to appear at the villa entrance. He was surprised and asked, "How did you get here?"
"Shen Lang... help... help..."
Large beads of sweat appeared on Ye Shishi's forehead. Her expression was panicked as she looked at Shen Lang and cried out.
"Help?"
Shen Lang was taken aback. After carefully observing Ye Shishi, he said, "Although your heart condition is severe, it won't kill you yet. What kind of help do you need me to provide?"
"It's not me, it's to save a friend's daughter."
Ye Shishi said, "The child mistook her family's Paraquat for cola and drank it. She's in the hospital now, fighting for her life. The doctor says all her organs have failed..."
