Chapter 377: Chapter 377: A Kindred Spirit

Hearing the words of Tan Zhenting and Tan Yunjing, and seeing that it was indeed very late, Xiao Yifei nodded in agreement.

"Haha, yes, Mr. Xiao is going to stay over," Tan Zhenting said with a happy expression upon seeing Xiao Yifei’s agreement, clearly still feeling somewhat apologetic about the items Xiao Yifei had picked at the ’Treasure Pavilion.’ He turned to Tan Yunjing and instructed, "Yunjing, go on, arrange it, make sure Mr. Xiao’s accommodations are set up properly, and then put in a word with the cafeteria to prepare some porridge for us. No matter what time it is now, we still need to eat something."

"Mhm, okay!"

Tan Yunjing, upon hearing Tan Zhenting’s words, nodded repetitively and then turned to leave. It was at this moment that Tan Zhenting called out to stop her.

"Oh, right, Yunjing, go check on your little aunt. If I’m not mistaken, since we haven’t eaten together, she surely hasn’t eaten either. Call her down later."

Tan Yunjing, hearing Tan Zhenting’s instructions, nodded and obediently went upstairs to Tan Lan’s room.

The Tan Family had a large household and a significant estate, but despite this, Tan Zhenting and the others still lived in the same building. So while Tan Yunjing was rattling upstairs to call Tan Lan, Tan Zhenting invited Xiao Yifei to sit at the dining table in the downstairs hall, waiting for Tan Lan to come over.

Shortly after, the sound of two sets of footsteps came from the staircase. Xiao Yifei looked up and saw Tan Yunjing walking in front with an embarrassed smile on her face. When Xiao Yifei’s gaze moved to the person behind Tan Yunjing, his eyes instantly widened.

He saw Tan Lan wearing a silk robe, tied in quite a unique way, but the hem and the glimpses caught from certain angles revealed copious amounts of healthy, wheat-colored skin. Most importantly, Tan Lan’s perfect figure and wild aura were highlighted to the fullest beneath this robe.

"Bro, what did you call me for?"

Tan Lan stretched out her hand and lazily yawned, her beautiful, pure eyes throwing a glance at Xiao Yifei. By this time, she had already reached the dining table in the hall, casually pulled out a chair, and settled into it backward. Although Tan Lan’s casual movements did not reveal too much skin, there was a sense of unrestrained freedom surrounding her, causing Xiao Yifei’s eyes to widen.

"What I called you for! If I didn’t call you, would you not eat at all? Besides, take a look at what you’re wearing. Mr. Xiao is still here, can’t you be a little more reserved?" Tan Zhenting said indignantly.

"Haha, brother, what are you talking about? What does it matter if Xiao Yifei is here? Should I be restrained? At the very least, I’m still Xiao Yifei’s superior right now. Would he dare to have any complaints?"

With her delicate chin resting on the back of the chair, Tan Lan swept her hair back with her hand and said with a laugh, "Ask him. If he dares to object, isn’t he afraid I’ll make trouble for him?"

Tan Zhenting was about to say something, clearly annoyed by Tan Lan’s attitude toward Xiao Yifei, a distinguished guest of the Tan Family. Before he could speak, Xiao Yifei opened his mouth and said, "Haha, Uncle Tan, there aren’t so many rules, right? Principal Tan is fine just like this; there’s nothing wrong with it."

"Haha, brother, did you hear that? Xiao Yifei himself said there’s nothing wrong, so you don’t have to say more, right?"

Tan Lan’s pure eyes flicked a glance at Tan Zhenting and then turned, her finger playfully pointing at Xiao Yifei as she chuckled, "Smart of you!"

Xiao Yifei smiled at Tan Lan but said nothing.

The chameleon-like aura of Tan Lan certainly surprised Xiao Yifei. If it weren’t for today’s visit to the Tan Family, he might never have truly realized what kind of person Tan Lan was, but even after coming to the Yue Family, he hadn’t completely seen through Tan Lan yet.

Sometimes wild, sometimes lively, and sometimes lazy, Tan Lan exuded a strong mysterious aura, yet her bright eyes made her seem like a pure elf. This was Xiao Yifei’s first time experiencing such a dichotomy in a woman.

"Alright already! If you don’t want to say anything, then don’t, just come down to eat. If we keep forgetting to eat, are you going to just not eat at all?"

Tan Zhenting saw that Xiao Yifei didn’t have much to say, so he shook his head and stopped thinking about the issue, turning to discuss dinner with Tan Lan instead.

"Brother, it’s not that I forgot, it’s just that I was waiting for you all to come back and eat together! By the way, Yunjing, what are we having?"

Tan Lan gave Tan Zhenting an awkward smile, then turned to Tan Yunjing and hurriedly asked.

"Daddy said he had the canteen prepare some porridge for us."

Tan Yunjing returned the smile sweetly to Tan Lan.

"Having porridge is good, porridge is good for the body."

Tan Lan smiled lazily and slowly stretched out his legs, flashing those long, envy-inducing legs in front of Xiao Yifei as he said, "What did you see in the ’Treasure Pavilion’?"

"Auntie, you have no idea. Xiao Yifei brother must have fed Daddy some kind of love potion because Daddy actually let Xiao Yifei brother pick any treasure he wanted from the Treasure Pavilion to take!"

Tan Yunjing was still surprised by this news.

Upon hearing this, Tan Lan was also quite surprised and looked at Xiao Yifei, since Tan Zhenting, though generous, valued the items in the ’Treasure Pavilion’ greatly. It seemed that Xiao Yifei truly had some skills.

When she looked at Xiao Yifei, she couldn’t help but lightly raise her eyebrows and smile because she saw that Xiao Yifei was staring intently at her leg that she had just stretched out. But Tan Lan didn’t say much and turned her head towards Tan Zhenting.

The moment Tan Lan saw Xiao Yifei, she felt a strange sensation in her heart.

"Haha, little Lan, do you remember the last time you played a prank by putting that stone that looked like a lump of black coal into the ’Treasure Pavilion’? Xiaosheng here actually didn’t pick anything else but that black coal ball!"

Hearing Tan Yunjing and Tan Lan’s words, Tan Zhenting couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He turned his head toward Tan Lan and said with a smile.

After hearing Tan Zhenting’s words, Tan Lan’s eyes suddenly narrowed. She instantly turned her head, a mysterious glint flashing through the depths of her eyes as she looked at Xiao Yifei with great interest.

Xiao Yifei, seeing Tan Lan looking at him, reluctantly shifted his gaze from her body, scratched his head with a smile, and said to Tan Zhenting, "Haha, Uncle Tan, I’ve said it before, I truly felt an affinity with that stone, that’s why I chose the black coal ball!"

Tan Zhenting heard Xiao Yifei’s reply, just smiled, and didn’t respond further.

In contrast, upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, Tan Lan’s expression changed dramatically. A mysterious aura enveloped her delicate face. She stared fixedly at Xiao Yifei for a moment and then suddenly bloomed into a beautiful smile, saying in a slightly deep and magnetic voice, "Xiao Yifei, do you really feel that the stone I put into the ’Treasure Pavilion’ has an affinity with you?"

Xiao Yifei was taken aback by Tan Lan’s words, not understanding why she suddenly brought up this topic. He also felt the sudden change in Tan Lan’s aura. Cocking his head, he looked at Tan Lan and said, "Yes, Principal Tan, I really do feel that the black coal ball was eye-catching, and it really caught my eye."

His sincere reply made Tan Lan nod. She leaned back in her chair and, squinting her eyes, suddenly emitted an inexplicable aura. Looking at Xiao Yifei with a gentle smile, she softly said, "You think you have an affinity with that stone, but I feel that I have an affinity with you."

The sudden remark by Tan Lan caused everyone at the table, including Xiao Yifei, to be taken aback, unsure of what she meant.
