If it was before, he would definitely ask her about her well-being, but now...
He didn't seem to care about her anymore.
"Lanlan, is your brother okay? He fell so badly last time!" Even though Ye Lan wanted to ignore him, there were always people who brought him up from time to time.
"I don't know." She replied weakly.
"Don't know? He's your brother. If you don't know, who would know?"
"That's right. Are you unwilling to tell us?"
"Is he still in the hospital? Let's go see him together some other day!"
"If it weren't for your brother's sponsorship, our school party wouldn't be possible! I think the school should send a representative to visit your brother."
"He is not my brother, and I have nothing to do with him. We will no longer have any relationship in the future, so please don't ask me anymore." After being annoyed several times, Ye Lan finally couldn't help it. He became a little agitated, and his voice rose unconsciously.
Everyone, look at me, I look at you.
What's going on here
"You... had a fight?"
"That's enough, stop talking nonsense." Qiu Qiu tried to smooth things over and pushed the female classmates back to their seats. "He's my brother, what are you always thinking about?"
Qiu Qiu returned to her seat and saw Ye Lan still lying limply on the table. She was a little worried, "What happened to you two? Did you really have a fight?"
"… No."
"How was that?"
"..." Ye Lan felt a pain in his heart for a long time before he said dejectedly, "It should be considered as a breakup..."
"Broken up?" Qiu Qiu found it unbelievable. "Are you kidding me? One second he risked his life to save you, and the next second, you told me he broke up with you?"
Ye Lan's eyes turned slightly red uncontrollably. Yes, why could he just break up with her and be so ruthless and heartless? Even if he just treated her as a sister, it shouldn't be like this. Would he really never think about her again and not worry about her injury
She didn't know if she really liked Tang Jifeng, but if this was what it meant to like someone, then this feeling was not as good as she had imagined, but extremely painful! Every day she would think of him uncontrollably, waiting for his messages and calls, but because of this, she was unhappy every day.

As soon as Ye Yan returned home, he discovered that something was wrong with Ye Lan. She looked like an eggplant that had been frosted, extremely listless. The clever little girl disappeared in an instant.
"What happened to you during the days I was away?" A few days later, while having breakfast, Ye Yan couldn't help but ask.
"No… "
Ye Yan looked at her scrutinizingly, his eyes sharp, "Are you in love?"
Ye Lan froze while biting the bread, and then he said weakly, "No."
"Really?"
"I have to go to class." Ye Lan put down the cutlery, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic.
Ye Yan frowned. Looking at the worried little girl, he felt worried and disappointed. The little girl who used to tell him everything seemed to have grown up suddenly, and now she knows how to hide her worries.
"If you don't tell me, I won't force you. But, there is one more thing..."
"What?" Ye Lan stopped.
Ye Yan handed her a card and said, "Today is Ji Feng's birthday. Please prepare a birthday present for him."
Ye Lan bit his lip and didn't take the card immediately. He just said, "He already has so many people giving him gifts, does he still need one from me?"
He must have received many gifts from women. Besides, now that he had cut off all ties with her, he probably didn't want to receive any gifts from her!
"He has given you so many gifts, it won't be unfair for you to give him one. Take it." Ye Yan stuffed the card into Ye Lan's hand and reminded him, "Birthday party at 8 o'clock, the same place. I can ask someone to pick you up."
“No thanks.” Ye Lan refused: “I already have an appointment tonight.”
"A date? A man or a woman?" Ye Yan raised his eyebrows. Could it be that this girl is really in love
"Male!" Ye Lan only left these two words, picked up his schoolbag, and left the house.
male!
This little girl is really in love!
Ye Yan frowned, and subconsciously wanted to chase after her. At the age of 16, it was too early to fall in love, right

company.
Ye Yan opened and closed the document several times, feeling very annoyed. Tang Jifeng came into his office from outside and saw this scene. He asked, "What's wrong? Is there something tricky about the contract?"
"You're here just in time. I have something to ask you." Ye Yan pointed to the sofa opposite him and motioned Tang Jifeng to sit down. He looked at Tang Jifeng seriously and solemnly, "Last time, when Lanlan held a party at school, did you go?"
When Ye Lan was mentioned, Tang Jifeng tensed up a little. He didn't answer immediately, but just asked, "What?"
"Did you spot any suspicious people?"
"I'm not sure what you mean by 'suspicious'."
"For example, did she tell you which boy she liked, or did she get close to any boy that day?"
Tang Jifeng leaned back and stared at Ye Yan with narrowed eyes, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"Honestly, I feel like this girl is hiding her relationship from me!"
"What?" Tang Jifeng sat up straight.
Ye Yan looked at him and said, "Look, you also find it hard to accept, right? She is only 16 years old!"
Tang Jifeng was silent for a long time before he said calmly, "Don't be suspicious. She has always been ignorant. How can you tell that she is in love?"
"Today is your birthday. Normally, we all celebrate your birthday together unless there are special circumstances. Every year, she is the most active one and has been looking forward to it for a long time. But when I told her about this today, guess how she reacted."
"Um?"
"She refused to participate. She loves to join in the fun, but she refused to participate. The reason was that she had a date tonight. And the date was with a boy! Besides me, there is a boy who is more important to her than you. If he is not her boyfriend, I can't think of another one!"
"She... is dating a boy?" Tang Jifeng murmured, an indescribable feeling welling up in his heart.
Like lost.
Perhaps, it was the same feeling as Ye Yan. When his sister had a boyfriend, he could never accept it calmly.
"That's right. No, I have to find out what kind of boy that little girl would like. What if she meets a love cheater and gets hurt? Also, most boys nowadays are unreliable. I heard from Ye Lan that classmates in their class rolled into the same bed when they were underage!" The more Ye Yan thought about it, the angrier and more uneasy he became.
Tang Jifeng's face changed.
