Tang Ran and Hu Wei were busy all night, not to mention sleeping. When they returned to the Lin City Guesthouse, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

Inexplicably, Tang Ran just didn't want to face this ungrateful kid at this time. She carefully controlled the space along the way and tried to create a quiet environment, just to make the child fall into a deep sleep so that she wouldn't be unable to deal with him when he woke up.

…………

"It's already this late, go get some sleep, kid..."

"I understand. Go back and get some sleep."

After returning to Lin City, Tang Ran was very upset, and became more and more upset. After parting with Hu Wei and returning to their respective rooms, Tang Ran still had no desire to sleep.

The child had been placed on the bed by Tang Ran. Tang Ran stood on the floor and just watched him. When she got tired of standing, she moved a chair back to the bedside and sat down to continue watching. She didn't know what she was looking at. Maybe she was looking at the little face. Don't people say that nephews look like their uncles? Why did this nephew look like his aunt?

Or maybe it was because he was looking at the chilblains on the little ungrateful boy's hands. In any case, it was annoying.

At half past six in the morning, Tang Ran saw with his own eyes that little ungrateful guy Gu Yong trembled a few times, then rubbed his eyes, sat up, and after opening his eyes, he met Tang Ran's eyes.

The air was still quiet, and the two just looked at each other.

Tang Ran naturally felt that this naughty child would most likely cry, and she had already thought of how to make the ungrateful boy hold back his tears, but who knew that this child would not play by the rules.

"Are you my aunt?"

Tang Ran: ………

"Of course you are my aunt. My dad always shows me pictures of you, my second uncle, and my grandparents.

"Auntie, are you here to see me and my dad? Where is this? Where is my dad?"

…………

When Chen Shuang came to knock on the door looking for Tang Ran, what he saw were two faces that were too similar, one big and one small, with frowns and pursed lips.

“He…he…”

"What do you mean by him? Where's my second brother?"

"He didn't come up. What happened to this kid?"

Tang Ran scratched his hair in annoyance.

"Wait a moment, I'll ask him to change his clothes and leave."

After closing the door, Tang Ran pretended to rummage through her handbag and finally took out clothes suitable for children of about her age, as well as a pair of black snow boots. Although they were a bit out of place in this era, they were not eye-catching. She did not dare to get a down jacket, but still bought a down vest to wear underneath.

"Come here and get dressed."

"I can put it on myself."

Tang Ran firmly believed that a big ungrateful person would give birth to a little ungrateful person.

The ungrateful boy firmly believed that his father was definitely not the kind of person his aunt described him to be.

The two of them felt awkward with each other and walked out of the room and downstairs one after the other.

Chen Shuang had already told Tang Wei about the child in Tang Ran's room. Because of Tang Bo's previous letter, Tang Wei almost immediately thought of the "Xiaobao" mentioned in the letter.

"Little sister, is this big brother's child?"

Tang Ran snorted, taking it as an answer. Hu Wei followed Tang Ran down, both of them had bloodshot eyes, obviously they didn't sleep well last night.

This shows how upset Tang Ran was that she didn't even bother to cast a light-based ability on herself.

"The train is at 8 o'clock. Let's go eat first."

The little ungrateful boy looked at everyone at this time and confirmed that Tang Wei was the second uncle his father mentioned, but he did not feel as close to Tang Ran as he did.

"Are you leaving by train? Can you take me back to my dad?"

"You two are playing a joke on me, aren't you?

I went through all the trouble to pick you up in the middle of the night in the heavy snow, just so you could stay here for one night, with all your clothes on?

Just follow your stupid, stupid dad. He has no brains at all."

Tang Ran felt very awkward. She cursed at the child but watched to see if his expression changed, afraid that he would cry.

However, he didn't cry, but the little ungrateful boy looked at Tang Ran with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Xiao Ran, he's still a child..."

"Don't try to persuade me, I'll get angry if anyone tries to persuade me. You guys go eat, I'm not going. I'll go back and lie down for a while. Just come and call me before you leave."

Seeing Tang Ran like this, everyone felt helpless. As to whether Tang Ran left because she was angry or because she wanted to escape, only Tang Ran herself knew.

"Let's go, Xiaobao, go out for dinner with Uncle Er."

Tang Wei stretched out his hand to hug Xiaobao, but saw the child take a step back, turn around and walk back in the same pace as Tang Ran.

"Why are you following me?"

"Lie down for a while."

Tang Ran: ………

Everyone: …………

In the end, the two of them went back and continued to stare at each other, while Tang Wei and the other two went to a nearby state-owned restaurant.

"Don't you believe what I say? Why are you still following me?"

"My dad is not an ungrateful person. He always tells me that my grandparents are heroes, my aunt is beautiful and very capable, and my uncle is the softest-hearted one."

Tang Ran didn't know why she was competing with the child. Her focus was not on whether she was pretty or not, but on the fact that her uncle was the softest-hearted.

"Yes, your father is right. Your uncle has the best heart, and I have the worst. So why don't you go find your uncle? Why are you looking for me?"

It's impossible for a five-year-old child to be bullied by Tang Ran. When did he say that his aunt was the most evil?

"Or do you mean that your dad is a good man who only says compliments about us behind our backs, and I'm a bad man who only says bad things behind our backs?"

Tang Ran was the only one who could be so unreasonable and rude to a child of that age.

Tang Wei didn't dare to leave Tang Ran and Xiaobao alone together, so he bought a few buns and ran back.

"What are you in such a hurry for?"

"I'm afraid Xiao Ran will beat up that kid. Xiao Ran treats my big brother..."

Hu Wei's face turned cold instantly.

"Do you know how far Tang Ran walked last night carrying that child? It was snowing so heavily, and she was so worried that the child would be cold that she even wrapped him up tightly in a quilt. What qualifications do you have to say that?"

Chen Shuang was also very angry. The couple had slept in vain for several nights. He decisively stood on Tang Ran's side and ignored Tang Wei.

As a result, there are a few people who are awkward with each other. Tang Wei is neither popular nor unpopular, he deserves it!

This awkward situation continued from the guesthouse to the train station, where they met the relative whom Fang Yanwu asked Tang Ran to take back to the Northwest Military Region, and continued until they arrived at the Northwest Military Region.

Along the way, the child didn't ask to find Tang Bo again.

Tang Wei was responsible for feeding the little guy along the way, and it seemed that his relationship with him had become closer.

Tang Ran sneered in his heart, this little ungrateful bastard is just that little ungrateful bastard, he forgot who picked him up from that shabby place.

Out of sight, out of mind. Tang Ran took a break with his eyes closed all the way back to his destination.

"You guys stay at the guesthouse first. I'll come pick you up later. You... Cheng Xing, right? Come with me to hand in the mission to Commander Fang."

"I'm coming with you, I'm going to cancel my leave!"

Just as Tang Ran was about to leave, Xiaobao, who was originally held in Tang Wei's arms, struggled.

"Auntie, I'll follow you."

Everyone: …………
