Lan Yu followed Sheng Yang back to his house. He was at a loss, not knowing what Teacher Sheng was going to do.
Inside, Lan Ran was leaning against the table and painting. He was very quiet. His face was still as bright as the moonlight. He sensed that someone had entered, but he did not even bat an eyelid. He seemed to have expected it.
Seeing him like this, Sheng Yang immediately understood. It seemed that he was prepared to tell Lan Yu everything.
“Lan Ran, are you going to tell him, or should I?” Sheng Yang’s eyes were calm.
Lan Yu looked at Miss Sheng in confusion, then at his brother.
There seemed to be a secret between them that he did not know.
Lan Ran suddenly put away his brush and stood up. He sighed softly. “Let me tell him.”
He looked at Lan Yu with a burning gaze. “I’m one of the Four Gods.”
“What?” Lan Yu’s school bag fell to the floor with a dull thud. He couldn’t come back to his senses for a long time.
“I know you don’t believe me, and you must have a lot of questions for me. For example, if I’m so impressive, why did I drop out of the academy? Why would I be willing to be a down-and-out person who’s mocked by my neighbors and everyone around me…”
To be honest, Sheng Yang didn’t understand what Lan Ran meant.
Previously, when they were chatting online, Lan Ran was such a high-spirited person. After meeting him, she did not expect him to be so patient.
It turned out that Lan Ran had always been outstanding in the past. Back then, Lan Yu lived under Lan Ran’s halo no matter what he did.
Lan Ran and Lan Yu’s parents had passed away earlier on. Hence, Lan Ran had long taken on the responsibility of supporting his family and protecting his younger brother. He was meticulous.
He saw his younger brother’s abject expression and despair. The elder brother was like a mountain pressing down on the younger brother. No matter how hard Lan Yu tried, it was impossible for him to surpass Lan Ran.
It was said that an elder brother was like a father, and that was exactly how Lan Ran acted.
On the surface, he pretended to be useless to arouse his younger brother’s competitive spirit and make him feel that the revitalization of the Lan family depended on him. However, in private, he did not miss out on anything. Although he did not enter the research institute, there were some projects in the research institute that were passed to his former principal, Zhou Rusheng. Hence, Lan Ran could participate in them, and he even passed the assessment of the Four Gods to become one of the new gods.
Zhou Rusheng had always known his strength. In fact, Zhou Rusheng was a person who cherished talent and respected Lan Ran’s choice. Therefore, even though Lan Ran’s withdrawal from the academy had become a glaring stain in his teaching history, Zhou Rusheng still indulged him from the beginning to the end.
Lan Yu remained silent.
Suddenly, he stood up and struggled to prop himself up with the help of the table. He hammered the table with his fists. “So what do you take me for? Do you think I’m a monkey? Do you feel happy to see me laughing at you for being useless time and time again? Do you think I’m like a marionette who’ll follow your arrangements step by step? Let me tell you, I’m not grateful to you at all. I even hate you. You’re too self-righteous!”
With that, he rushed out the door.
Sheng Yang closed her eyes, not knowing how to comfort Lan Ran. After all, she had never been good at comforting people, but she had known Lan Ran for a long time. He had schemed so hard to pave a path for his younger brother, but all he got in return was his anger and hatred. She wouldn’t be able to bear it if she didn’t comfort him.
“Mhm… the child is in the rebellious stage.”
These words broke Lan Ran’s defense and made him laugh. He looked at Sheng Yang. “If you don’t know how to comfort others, then don’t do it. Don’t force yourself.”
“Okay.” Hearing this, Sheng Yang felt a sense of relief and stood up. “I’ll go look for Lan Yu.”
