Qian Hong almost cried with joy. She said a lot of nice things to express her gratitude, and finally asked weakly, "Can I go now?"
Lan Ziye stood up, straightened his school uniform and said, "It's time for us to go!"
After saying that, he walked up to Lan Xiaoqi, kicked Lan Xiaoqi's chair and said, "Let's go home. Are you still planning to spend the night here?"
Lan Xiaoqi: ...Did he want to stay here? It's obviously you who's the one staying here to blackmail others, okay? (｀^′)
Lan Ziye strode out of the classroom happily, and Lan Xiaoqi followed happily behind him.
Lan Xiaoqi asked casually, "What on earth did you go through in the past? Why are you so obsessed with money?"
No one would handle this matter this way! ←_←
Lan Ziye suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky with a sorrowful look: Who had let her be deceived by her own magic circle? It was truly pathetic to think that she, the head of a family who had never had to worry about food and clothing, who had once treated money as nothing, and who had practiced in the fine stone mines, had fallen to the point where she had to worry about money and small pieces of fine stone every day. (???︿???)
But what could she do? Not only was the magic circle short of Essence Stones, but it was also short of many other materials. She'd done some research and realized those materials were incredibly expensive in this era. So expensive! (???_??)?
She really wants to go home! (?_?)
"Don't be like this! I was just asking casually. If you don't want to talk about it, forget it!" Lan Xiaoqi saw Lan Ziye's frustrated face and realized that he had asked something he shouldn't have asked. He hurriedly comforted him, "Don't think about it. The painful days of the past are over. Since Grandpa has recognized you, you will be the daughter of our Lan family from now on. You won't have to suffer that kind of hardship anymore!"
Lan Ziye turned to look at Lan Xiaoqi, his heartbroken expression growing even more dejected, as if he were on the verge of tears. Who said she suffered in the past? She'd lived a life of comfort! Even though she had three strict brothers, they'd only kneel in the ancestral hall, only to wreak havoc there. It wasn't like she was struggling to make a living here! (???_??)?
Lan Xiaoqi felt extremely guilty and remorseful at this moment. He just wanted to play a little joke on Lan Ziye, but he didn't expect to touch the other person's sore spot. How could he be so stupid? He had been pampered since he was a child, but he didn't know the hardships of the other person who was living alone outside.
What should I do now? How can I make this little sister happy?
Lan Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't be sad. Don't you like Essence Stones? On my tenth birthday, my grandfather bought me an orange Essence Stone as a birthday present. I still have it to this day. I'll give it to you!"
Lan Ziye's eyes lit up. Such unexpected wealth! (*???*)
"It's true. It's a genuine fine stone. I spent a lot of money to buy it!" Lan Xiaoqi thought that Lan Ziye didn't believe him, so he emphasized it.
Lan Ziye tilted his head, showing a big smile and said, "Thank you very much, Xiaoqi!"
It's like searching for something unsuccessfully, but it finally came to me without any effort. You know, Lan Xiaoqi has the Essence Stone in his hand, so even if she has to fight, she'll get it out of him! (o^?^o)
"Um...besides you, does anyone else in the Lan family have Essence Stones?" Lan Ziye asked with a grin. "That doesn't make sense. The Patriarch only gave it to you, not the other brothers, right? Or should every young master of the Lan family get one?"
Looking at Lan Ziye's sly smile, Lan Xiaoqi was filled with black lines on his forehead. Why did he feel like he was being cheated? ⊙︿⊙
