She explained: "You deliberately hurt her. Now that I see your face, I feel a little angry."
Tan Kai took two steps back and said, "I understand." Then he turned and left.

Lin Ran was woken up by a phone call.
She reached for her phone, too sleepy to open her eyes. Through her blurry vision, she could see clearly on the screen that the caller was her "cousin."
She immediately sat up and answered the phone. She was the first to speak: "Cousin."
The man on the other end of the phone hummed and said to her, "I'm in the backyard. Come out for a moment. I need help."
Lin Ran immediately lifted the quilt, put on his slippers, picked up a coat and put it on before leaving the room.
She quickened her pace and headed towards the backyard.
Lin Xi was a quirk of the Lin family. Perhaps writers were all loners, always enjoying being alone. She could count the number of times she had seen Lin Xi on her fingers.
Regardless of whose banquet it was, not even the memorial service for Mr. Lin, who had passed away two years earlier, Lin Xi never appeared in the auditorium. Instead, after all the guests had dispersed, late at night, he went to the mourning hall alone and then left Han State that night.
So every time he texted or called someone, everyone would take it seriously, and Lin Ran was no exception.
Lin Ran hurried to the backyard.
In the darkness of the night, with the dim light of the sky, she could clearly see the figure of the man standing in the distance.
My great-grandfather once said that among all the descendants of the Lin family, only Lin Xi looked the most "literary and talented". Not only did he have a gentle appearance, but his character also had the integrity of a talented person.
He always had a cool, otherworldly air about him. Perhaps because he hadn't been around people for years, he always seemed quite distant.
People like this may be single for the rest of their lives, right?
That’s what Lin Ran thought.
She trotted over and stopped beside Lin Xi. "Cousin, what's going on?"
The man glanced at her, seemingly repulsed by her panting, sleepy, and disheveled appearance, and subconsciously took a step aside. "I saw the news about your injury in the group chat, and I happened to be on El Island, so I came to see you."
"Cousin, it's not me who's hurt, it's my friend..."
"Really?" Lin Xi lowered her head and took out a small bottle of ointment from her pocket. "I have a medicine here that's very effective for treating burns. Since you're not injured, I'll give it to your friend."
Lin Ran took it and stared at the small bottle in disbelief for a long time. Then he raised his head, eyes wide, and said, "Cousin, are you worried about me and came to see me?"
"Maybe."
"I heard from my aunt that you went to the imperial capital recently. When did you come to El Island?"
Lin Xi frowned, as if she thought she was being nagging.
Lin Ran immediately shut his mouth.
She heard from her aunt that Lin Xi didn't like girls chattering endlessly. He liked quietness, so naturally he also liked the person he was chatting with to be quiet.
"Cousin, I'll go in first. You..."
"I'll leave as soon as I see you go in."
Lin Ran nodded, looked at him twice, then turned and left the backyard and went in.
Lin Ran walked in and slowly came to her senses. Walking in the corridor, she turned on her phone and glanced at the time on the screen. It showed: 4:49 in the morning.
Lin Ran: “!!!”
Is Lin Xi crazy? She ran over to give her the ointment in the early morning. When did she get so much attention? She was suddenly a little flattered and a little scared.
