It was slightly snowy in Tong city. I blinked, and Gu Lanzhi didn’t answer me, I felt that I shouldn’t have asked this much given my position, but I didn’t want him to misunderstand.
So, I carefully explained: "Tan Yang was referring to Xi Zhan, because she has grown up basically with the support of Xi Zhan. In Tan Yang's eyes, Xi Zhan is someone worth following for the rest of her life, and their relationship is pure. Tan Yang has no love for him, but just regards him as her role model. Do you know what I mean?"
Gu Lanzhi understood me, and asked: "How did Xi Zhan and Tan Yang get to know each other?"
He was inquiring into the root of the matter. Not sure if I should tell him everything, I asked him back: "How much do you know about Tan Yang?"
Gu Lanzhi was silent upon hearing my question.
I instantly knew that he knew nothing about Tan Yang.
I explained: "Tan Yang is a little girl under the protection of the Tan family and the former Xi family."
