She and Lan Ran got to know each other after a fight in Yan City. They covered astronomy, geography, math, and even combat. Then they were evenly matched. In the end, they confessed. As a reward for the draw, Lan Ran revealed that he was one of the Four Gods.
However, Sheng Yang didn’t know what the Four Gods were back then.
Now that she had seen Lan Ran in Lanca, the truth was finally revealed.
Lan Ran lowered his head. The white moon-like figure showed a lonely back. “It’s a long story…”
“Something to do with your brother?”
Lan Ran turned to look at her, feeling both angry and amused. “With your personality, I’m sure you won’t be liked much.”
Sheng Yang pursed her lips. “There’ll always be someone who’ll like me no matter what I’m like.”
Lan Ran’s laughter became even more unbridled. “I just think that with your personality, it’s amazing that you still chose to fall in love. Because we’re the same type of people. Falling in love just feels like it’ll hinder your learning and scientific research speed. It’ll take up your time.”
Sheng Yang was silent for a moment, and her lips were pursed. “I thought the same before.”
She suddenly remembered that after the experiment that night, Yi Juncheng texted her today and asked her if she would get twice the results with half the effort. She was speechless.
Anyway, her efficiency wasn’t affected. On the contrary, she experienced a different kind of happiness. It was something that went beyond what she had imagined.
But it was only limited to Yi Juncheng. No one else understood her as well as he did.
Lan Ran smiled. “I’m afraid it’s difficult for our potential other halves to understand the type of people we are. We’ll always spend more time on our studies and research than on them.”
“He’s not like that. He’s busy too,” Sheng Yang said lightly.
Lan Ran could tell that she was very determined, so he stopped abruptly and did not continue asking questions.
“I got word that Long Xian has his eye on you now.”
Sheng Yang glanced sideways. “Who?”
Lan Ran couldn’t help but laugh. “You haven’t changed at all. Your attitude toward scientific research is even purer than mine. Long Xian is the Tong family’s greatest trump card, one of the Four Gods. He’s not an easy character to deal with.”
“Are you trying to compliment yourself in passing? You are one of the Four Gods, after all.”
Lan Ran’s eyes were filled with disdain as he said calmly, “He’s still far inferior to me.”
“Well, that should do it. I can hold my own against you. In that case, he’s a long way behind me.”
Lan Ran was amused. “You’re not bad at praising yourself.”
Sheng Yang said proudly, “You flatter me. About you and your brother, if you need my help, just tell me.”
She could tell that Lan Ran still cherished this kinship, but there was some misunderstanding between him and Lan Yu.
Lan Ran nodded with his hands still behind his back as he looked into the distance.
There was no sunlight in the sky to begin with. Day and night alternated, but black and white blended together, making it impossible to tell.
“We’ll see.”

Sheng Yang came back a little late today. Yi Juncheng came back earlier than her.
Sheng Yang didn’t expect to feel a little afraid when she saw him and thought about last night. But it was only for a short while before her fighting spirit ignited.
The damn desire to win made her feel that she shouldn’t be afraid of him! She could still fight for 300 rounds and make him beg for mercy!
Yi Juncheng blinked, guessing what she was thinking. That was what he wanted.
Bit by bit, she was falling into his trap.
During dinner, Sister Qian felt that the atmosphere between Miss and Mr. Yi was not right. There was a hidden undercurrent that seemed a little strange.
She raised her eyebrows. ‘Even such a sweet young couple is quarreling?’
