Several seconds passed.

Gu Yan then spoke.

"Yu Ran, you..."

Pei Yuran looked at him.

"Um?"

Gu Yan sighed.

"never mind."

Let's not talk about this anymore.

Pei Yuran nodded.

"it is good."

He paused for a moment.

"Then promise me."

"Stay away from your mother."

Gu Yan looked at her.

"What if I don't agree?"

Pei Yuran fell silent.

She lowered her head and thought for a long time.

Then he raised his head.

"Then I'll..."

She thought about it.

"Then I'll follow you every day."

"I won't let you be alone with her."

Gu Yan: "..."

He really couldn't hold it in anymore.

How did this silly goose come up with such a method?

He looked at Pei Yuran.

"Yu Ran, you're like this..."

Pei Yuran interrupted him.

"Is that not allowed?"

Gu Yan opened her mouth.

What do you want to say?

But looking into her earnest eyes...

I couldn't say anything.

He sighed.

"Alright."

I will try my best.

Pei Yuran nodded.

"it is good."

He paused for a moment.

"You promised me."

Gu Yan smiled bitterly.

"Yes, I promise you."

Pei Yuran looked at him.

Under the moonlight, the boy's face bore a helpless smile.

But those eyes were still so gentle.

A strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.

That feeling is called peace of mind.

She stood up.

"Then I'll go back to my room."

Gu Yan nodded.

"Okay, go to bed early."

Pei Yuran took two steps.

He turned back again.

"Gu Yan".

Gu Yan looked at her.

"Um?"

Pei Yuran thought for a moment.

Don't forget.

"It's about the day after tomorrow."

He paused for a moment.

"You promised to go to the party with me."

Gu Yan was taken aback.

He thought the matter was over.

I didn't expect Pei Yuran to still remember.

He nodded.

"I haven't forgotten."

"I'll go with you then."

Pei Yuran was finally satisfied.

She turned around and walked towards the room.

I took a few steps.

He turned back again.

"Gu Yan".

Gu Yan looked at her.

"What's wrong now?"

Pei Yuran thought for a moment.

"Good night."

After saying that, she quickly walked into the room.

The door closed.

Gu Yan stood there, stunned.

He looked at the closed door.

It took me several seconds to come to my senses.

Then he laughed.

His smile was tinged with a hint of helplessness.

That silly goose.

They actually said goodnight.

He stood up and stretched his neck.

Then I looked up at the stars in the sky.

The moonlight shone on him, giving him a faint silver glow.

He recalled what had happened that evening.

I recall Pei Youyi's gaze.

I remembered what Pei Yuran had said.

Thinking about all that messy stuff.

He sighed.

"These days..."

"It's getting harder and harder."

……

in the room.

Pei Yuran was lying in bed.

She looked at the ceiling.

My mind is filled with images of Gu Yan.

The way he smiled.

He looked helpless.

His gentle demeanor.

She rolled over.

He held the blanket in his arms.

They were holding each other very tightly.

It's like holding him.

She said softly.

"Gu Yan..."

"You are mine."

"No one can take it from me."

He paused for a moment.

"Mom won't do either."

......

Gu Yan returned to her room.

The moment he closed the door, he went limp.

Leaning against the door, I let out a long breath.

I'm so tired tonight.

It was as if I hadn't spent much time with Lin Jinyu.

His brain is practically spinning tonight.

First, on Shen Youyao's side, her second personality, Shen Youwei, suddenly appeared.

Those eyes, one red and one blue, that gesture of wanting to kiss him.

Scared to think about.

Then came Pei Youyi.

As soon as I entered the door, I took his hand, holding it so tightly.

They even said they were afraid he would get lost.

How could an adult like him get lost?

That's a lie.

Then there's Pei Yuran.

That idiot actually told him to stay away from Pei Youyi.

They even said things like "You're mine" and "No one can take you away from me."

The way she said those words sounded like something out of a science fiction movie.

Gu Yan walked to the bedside and plopped down.

He stared at the ceiling, his mind starting to race.

grandfather.

This is the person he misses most right now.

Grandpa is still in Shanglu, being cared for by the Lin and Chen families.

Lin Zhenting, the underworld emperor.

Chen Sinian, that old fox.

With the two companies working together, the medical conditions will definitely be the best.

He wasn't worried about that.

But he couldn't keep his grandfather there forever.

He wanted to take his grandfather with him.

Go to South Africa.

To find life-sustaining substances to prolong life.

This is his plan.

But now?

He was trapped in the Pei family's residence.

can not go out.

We can't go out either.

How many people are looking for him?

The Lin family, the Chen family, Elder Zhou, the Empire.

Each one is more difficult than the last.

If he goes out now, he will be caught immediately.

Then you won't be able to escape even if you want to.

So we have to wait.

Wait until the storm passes.

Everyone thought he was no longer in Jinghai.

Waiting for the right opportunity.

Gu Yan frowned and began to think of various solutions.

Option one: get Pei Yuran to help him.

This silly goose is S-class, strong enough.

If she's willing to help, she can lead him out of the Pei family, then storm into Shanglu and take his grandfather away.

There should be a chance.

But the question is, will Pei Yuran help him?

In fact, after his initial excitement at successfully hypnotizing Pei Yuran, he calmed down.

think carefully.

She now treats him like an older brother and does listen to him.

But should I ask her to help him leave?

She definitely wouldn't want to.

That dimwit couldn't be happier that he stayed in the Pei family forever.

More importantly, even if Pei Yuran were to forcibly take her grandfather away, she would definitely get hurt.

Option two: Find Pei Youyi.

Aunt Youyi said she would respect his choice.

Once things have calmed down, I'll go to South Africa with him.

He believed that.

But the question is, when will this storm pass?

A week? A month? Half a year?

He only has three years and eleven months to live.

Can't wait.

Method three: Run away secretly.

Taking advantage of Pei Yuran's inattention, he slipped out of the Pei family home.

Then find a security company and hire a group of top-notch bodyguards.

They stormed straight to Shanglu, robbed Grandpa, and ran away.

But this method is too risky.

Let's not even talk about how strict the Pei family's guards are.

Even if he escapes, will those people outside let him go?

The Lin family is looking for him, the Chen family is looking for him, and Elder Zhou's people are looking for him.

How far can he run by himself?

Option four: Ask Shen Youyao for help.

No, it's about getting Shen Youwei's help.

That woman's strength is unfathomable; even an S-rank might not be able to defeat her.

If she were willing to help...

Gu Yan shook her head.

Forget it.

Given Shen Youwei's personality, who knows what she might do?

What if she gets carried away and hurts Grandpa too?

Moreover, she is now eyeing Shen Youyao covetously and may possess her at any moment.

Asking her for help at this time would be like inviting trouble into your home, wouldn't it?

Gu Yan sighed.

I've thought of so many, but none of them seem reliable.

Both require time.

They all need opportunities.

He looked up at the moon outside the window.

The moon is very round and bright.

Moonlight streamed in, spreading a layer of silver frost across the floor.

He said softly.

"Grandpa, wait a little longer."

"Your grandson will be able to pick you up soon."

Just then.

The phone rang.

Gu Yan picked it up and took a look.

It was a message from Shen Youyao.

"Gu Yan, are you asleep?"

Gu Yan's lips curved slightly.

He replied.

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

Soon, news of Shen Youyao arrived again.

"Nothing much... I'm just a little worried about you."

"That cold, aloof older sister tonight was so fierce."

"She didn't bully you, did she?"
