In the blink of an eye, the exchange meeting was imminent, and Tang Tianyi finally arrived tardily.

His pale face, obvious dark circles, and bloodless lips directly scared the three people eating noodles in the apartment.

"Did you go out to steal thunder?" Luo Yanran helped him sit down and thoughtfully poured him a glass of water.

Qin Nuan hurriedly served a bowl of noodles and placed it on the dining table.

Now that Luo Qianqian was injured, it was better if they helped with such matters.

Who would have thought that Tang Tianyi’s eyes would fixate on Luo Qianqian, bright yet filled with profound meaning.

Luo Yanran frowned but strangely didn’t interrupt. It felt like there were many differences in his gaze this time compared to before.

Luo Qianqian was also somewhat lost in thought, inexplicably putting down the chopsticks in her hand and sitting upright, allowing Tang Tianyi to examine her.

The air was so quiet that even the sound of breathing was clearly audible.

"It seems you weren’t bullied." After looking for a long time, Tang Tianyi suddenly laughed, his face full of relief: "Hurry up and eat. I brought you a gift to give you after the meal."

Although Luo Qianqian felt somewhat puzzled, she nodded in agreement.

After the meal, the four of them sat around the coffee table.

Tang Tianyi opened his backpack and took out a stone the size of a soccer ball and two small boxes, then casually handed them to Luo Yanran and Qin Nuan.

Both of them froze for a moment before opening them.

Just now, they clearly felt a momentary sense of lightness, but Luo Qianqian’s gaze had already locked onto the stone without a shred of deviation.

Previously, she felt that Tang Tianyi was somewhat strange, but she couldn’t tell what it was. Now looking at the stone on the table, she instantly understood.

Before, she could see the spiritual energy oscillations of everyone, but just now, in her vision, Tang Tianyi was just an ordinary person!

And this stone, just now, she hadn’t felt a thing. Only now, after it left Tang Tianyi’s body, did she discover this dense spiritual energy!

It’s simply incomparable to anything she had seen before!

"Wow!" Qin Nuan was stunned. These were Jade Bracelets, appearing to be a pair, and the important thing was that they seemed to be of extraordinary quality.

"Is this to be treated as the store’s treasure?" Luo Yanran observed closely, nodding repeatedly, clearly evaluating the item highly.

"It’s a gift." Tang Tianyi smiled: "I heard... the elders say that this pair is called ’Dragon and Phoenix Bracelets’..."

But Luo Qianqian, already anxious, interrupted: "This is..."

"This is, well, a gift from someone else to you, saying, um, wishing you success in your endeavors." Tang Tianyi hesitated for a moment before saying this.

Luo Yanran looked strange, but Luo Qianqian wasn’t curious at all. If this were the case, it was clear that the party who gave the gift didn’t want their identity exposed. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Looking at the stone, she swallowed: "Can I really accept this?"

Luo Yanran inexplicably looked at Luo Qianqian, clearly thinking that she had enough things already, why would she care about a stone? And it didn’t even seem that big?

"Of course." Tang Tianyi smiled very gently and pushed the stone toward Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian’s expression turned peculiar again.

Just now, the moment Tang Tianyi touched the stone, the spiritual energy on it disappeared again.

Seeing Luo Qianqian’s gaze, Tang Tianyi seemed to understand slightly and pointed at a string of sandalwood beads on his hand.

Luo Qianqian wisely chose not to ask further.

She could see it wasn’t an ordinary item, but that didn’t mean she could tell where it came from.

"By the way, Qianqian, the shop has been negotiated. The original contract expires in a month, and then we can renovate." Luo Yanran said while looking at the Jade Bracelet, not completely enthralled by it. While the items were good, as the young master of Haoran, hadn’t he seen his fair share of good things?

He closed the box and looked at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian withdrew her gaze from Tang Tianyi’s wrist, looking at Luo Yanran in confusion: "The shop? It’s negotiated? How big? What’s the rent? Location?"

"Uh... the shop is now under my name..." Luo Yanran scratched his nose, looking embarrassed: "It was originally my mom’s dowry, usually rented out."

He took out a map and circled the location.

Luo Qianqian looked and nodded: "Check the market price, repay it within a year." Even though it was Second Aunt’s, Luo Qianqian didn’t intend to take advantage.

Otherwise, it would be hard to say in the future, even though it had now been put under Luo Yanran’s name.

"Why is that?"

"Clear accounts among family members." Qin Nuan agreed, nodding and smiling gently at Luo Qianqian.

"Ugh, I really don’t want to give it. You two can just have it as a wedding gift when you marry." Sticking out her tongue, Luo Qianqian looked playful: "I can’t afford to take advantage of Fourth Brother."

"What about me, huh?"

"You’re too scheming; I’m scared."

Luo Qianqian teased Luo Yanran, just worried that Jia Ning might suffer a loss because of this property.

Considering the location and area, no matter how you looked at it, a year’s rent was a significant income.

After the four exchanged joking remarks, Luo Qianqian looked at Tang Tianyi: "Sawadera Juusaburou contacted me."

Tang Tianyi’s expression turned strange for a moment but quickly returned to normal, nodding: "What did they want with you?"

"A date." Luo Qianqian watched Tang Tianyi’s expression, frowning slightly. For a moment there, she almost felt like Tang Tianyi knew about this. Then she shook her head; it couldn’t be possible.

After all, for someone who couldn’t even get a call through, it was already a miracle to send any message daily.

"Stop talking nonsense." Qin Nuan snorted.

She had heard a bit about it from classmates, apparently trying to pick a fight.

But after seeing Luo Qianqian was fine, she didn’t ask further.

"Anyway, it’s not long now; they won’t go crazy enough to kill and silence, right?" Luo Qianqian shrugged. She felt the malice from Sawadera Juusaburou, but also understood his apprehension.

So he didn’t involve too many people, just continued to live a day-to-day existence.

"I’ll go to school tomorrow." Tang Tianyi said after a moment of silence: "Tomorrow is the last day. If they want to reach you, that’s the last chance."

Luo Qianqian nodded gently, indeed. Their exchange meeting, while it still had a few days, didn’t mean they wouldn’t undergo closed management for several days longer.

The reason she mentioned this was to know what they wanted from her.

But going alone would be too dangerous.

It wouldn’t be right to involve friends either.

So the safest bet was to quietly wait for Tang Tianyi to return.

"Where are you guys going? Don’t rush? Take me with you!" Qin Nuan urgently hugged Luo Qianqian’s arm, a look of seriousness all over her face.

"The last sentence was your real aim, right?" Luo Yanran looked disdainful: "You better not trouble my sister, just stay put, Qianqian, I’ll go with you."
