King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Chapter 161 Returning home in glory

Ning Caicai lowered her head and slowly moved to Ye Lan's side. Then, she opened her arms and hugged Ye Lan tightly.

She buried her head deeply in his chest, as if that would make her feel better.

Ning Caicai exuded a faint fragrance, and Ye Lan felt the dampness on her chest, but her heart remained unmoved.

"Please, please don't go."

Ning Caicai pleaded in a tearful voice, holding Ye Lan tightly as if afraid that if she let go, the other party would escape silently.

"I know you're angry with me and my parents. I apologize. I apologize to you on their behalf, okay?"

Ning Caicai's voice began to choke, and tears welled up in her eyes, sliding down her fair and smooth cheeks before finally gathering on Ye Lan's chest.

"Alright, alright, I'm not angry." Ye Lan gently wiped away Ning Caicai's tears with her thumb and whispered soothingly.

"Then why did you leave?" Ning Caicai raised her head, her red eyes still glistening with tears, her clear eyes rippling like a spring.

Ye Lan picked up her phone and showed Ning Caicai her chat history with her mother.

Looking at the chat history on her phone, Ning Caicai's mood improved slightly.

But her eyes were still red.

"After you go back, will you come back?"

Ye Lan put her hands in her pockets and plopped down on the sofa. "She probably won't be coming back."

"As you can see, my parents are supposed to go abroad for more than two months, and I have to stay home to take care of my sister."

"By the time my parents come back, it will be almost Chinese New Year. Let's decide whether to come back after the New Year."

People have a special affection for the Spring Festival.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying, "Whether you have money or not, go home for the New Year."

Moreover, Ye Lan is a freelancer, so there's no reason for her not to spend the New Year at home.

It will be almost March next year by the time the Lunar New Year is over.

Even if Ye Lan chooses to return to rent a place after the New Year, it will be two months from now.

"Alright, we'll talk about that when the time comes. I'm going to sleep now, I'm exhausted today."

Ye Lan thought about it for a while, but ultimately didn't say goodbye.

He didn't dare to look at Ning Caicai's condition, and locked the door as soon as he entered the room.

Perhaps as long as the words of farewell are not spoken, it is not considered farewell.

However, Ye Lan was indeed exhausted. After a whole afternoon of live streaming, plus disassembling the computer and moving and loading it into the truck, he was completely worn out.

As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up from his nap, it was almost noon.

The weather is lovely today. Bright sunlight streams through the balcony and falls on the coffee table, giving the teacups a gilded glow.

Ye Lan, still half-asleep, grabbed her uncontrollable hair and entered the living room.

The sticky note on the door was immediately noticeable.

Ye Lan walked over, and the beautiful handwriting on it became visible.

"There's food in the kitchen. Be careful on the road."

"The book says that all good things must come to an end, but it also says that if you are destined to meet again, you will meet again."

"I feel that our fate is not over, and we will definitely meet again in the future."

Ye Lan gave a vague "hmm" in response.

Because he wasn't sure if they would meet again.

In the adult world, everyone is busy making a living, and many people have already seen each other for the last time without realizing it.

But if he wanted to, they would definitely meet again.

I'm afraid Ye Lan won't remember.

The rice cooker in the kitchen was cooking congee with preserved egg and lean pork. Ye Lan had a quick breakfast, then picked up her car keys from the coffee table and her suitcase from the side of the table and left.

Drive, hit the road.

Goodbye, Jiangcheng, a city full of reckless drivers, where traffic lights are just for show, and where you could be hit and killed at any moment while walking on the road.

As the sun climbed higher, Ye Lan followed the navigation step by step to her hometown.

At 3 p.m., five and a half hours later, Ye Lan finally drove to the bottom of her apartment building.

Like Ning Caicai's parents, Ye Lan's parents also live in the old city area.

This is how most older generations without diplomas would find a job in a factory, fall for a female employee, and eventually get married and have children.

Then spend half your life paying off the mortgage.

However, Ye Lan's parents were quite open-minded. They told Ye Lan from a young age, "Son, listen to us. In the end, you can only become us."

"Therefore you must have your own thoughts and your own judgment in order to surpass us."

"No matter what you do, as long as it's not illegal, your parents will support you unconditionally."

Therefore, after the college entrance examination, Ye Lan was able to leave home and choose to rent a place outside to do game live streaming.

Actually, his college entrance exam scores weren't bad, but they weren't outstanding either; getting a bachelor's degree wouldn't have been difficult for him.

But he knew that being a live streamer was a job that only lasted a short time, and he couldn't afford to waste four years of his life, so he decisively chose to refuse.

In other families, if a child dared to make this choice, the father would have already taken off the seven-wolf sword from his waist.

But Ye Lan's parents not only didn't object, they were very supportive.

They applied for a year's leave of absence from school and then gave that year to Ye Lan to see if they were cut out to be live streamers.

If it works out, I'll quit studying and become a full-time live streamer.

If that doesn't work, then after a year, you should honestly go back to your studies.

Ye Lan's achievements today are inseparable from her parents' support.

There are no underground parking garages in the old town area. You can park anywhere in the park as long as it doesn't obstruct traffic.

Ye Lan drove in and parked the car next to the wall.

I had barely opened the door, and before my feet even touched the ground, I heard an annoying voice.

"Oh my, isn't this Ye's kid? He's only graduated from high school half a year ago, and he's already driving such a nice car?"

"Could it have been stolen from someone else?"

The speaker was a middle-aged woman whom Ye Lan recognized; she was Aunt Wang from downstairs, who was always sarcastic and could never stand to see others doing well.

Although she didn't recognize the car model, she did recognize the Audi logo.

In the eyes of this older generation, Audi is already considered a luxury car.

Ye Lan smiled and calmly retorted, "I'm not like your good-for-nothing son. I've been working for over a year and have already asked my family for over 100,000 yuan."

“I even suspect that he works outside. I feel that he is either gambling or keeping a mistress.”

Ye Lan's small mouth is like it's been poisoned; it can always deliver a fatal blow.

Aunt Wang blushed instantly after being rebuked, gasping for breath, her chubby cheeks turning a purplish-red, the same color as a pig's kidney.

Ye Lan glanced at the vegetable basket in Aunt Wang's hand and asked with a smile.

"Aunt Wang, remember to walk to buy groceries."

"why?"

"Walking!"
