Chu Yan said plainly, “It’s not an emergency. The Ye family should be able to handle it.”


  He Cizhou nodded. “That’s true.”


  He looked at Chu Yan and suddenly laughed evilly. “Do you want me to send a message to that child saying that you’re sick and hospitalized? That you were involved in a car accident and on the verge of dying, and have that child fly back.”


  “Then you are dead meat.” Chu Yan looked at him coldly.

  “I’m helping you, and it’s fine if you’re not grateful to me, but you still treat me like this. You’re such a cold and heartless man, I better warn that child that one day you may turn against us.”


  “I hope I wont be hearing you rvoice from now. Otherwise, you’re can do it by yourself.” Chu Yan was referring to work.

  He Cizhou snorted coldly. “You’re really boring. What does that litlle friend like about you?”


  Chu Yan replied, “If being interesting is to be like you, then I’d rather be boring.”


  He Cizhou grunted. “Then I’ll help you take some photos to send. You should know that it’s inevitable for a man to feel lonely when he’s out alone, and he’ll need someone to relieve him. If he doesn’t find someone to relieve him, he’ll want to drink, and usually after drinking, he’ll starting calling and sending messages. Why else would he stay up so late?”


  “No.”


  “He’s over eighteen. He’s already an adult.”


  Chu Yan ignored him and stood up to leave.

  He saw Chu Yan was really leaving.

  He realized that the remaining work was all his. He immediately shouted, “Chu Yan, you can’t be so willful. We agreed to fight together until dawn, how can you just abandon me like this?!”


  What answered him was the sound of Chu Yan closing the door.

  He cizhou wailed, “Chu Yan, you’re cold, heartless, and unreasonable…”


  After Ye Qingran sent Chu Yan some messages, she was about to go to sleep when she received a call from Chu Yan.

  His voice was very soft, but it sounded a little probing. “Are you drinking outside?”


  Ye Qingran replied very sincerely, “No, I don’t like drinking.”


  Chu Yan said, “Kid, you’re not allowed to drink, do you understand?”


  Ye Qingran nodded. “I know, I know. I won’t drink. How could I drink when I’m traveling alone? But why did you suddenly ask me if I drank?”


  Chu Yan replied, “I was just asking.”


  Ye Qingran smiled. “It’s getting late, brother. You’re still working, right? Then hurry up and finish. Go to bed early once you’re done.”


  Chu Yan said, “Okay, good night.”


  Ye Qingran said, “Good night.”


  Although there were many mosquitoes at night and life here was relatively tough.

  This place gave people a feeling of leisure and relaxation, so Ye Qingran liked it very much.

  She liked the bamboo forest in front of her. She followed the child of the homestay owner, a 5-year-old little babt, and learned how to play music using the bamboo leaves.

  She also liked the peach forest nearby.

  She thought that if March came, the peach blossoms would be in full bloom, and it would definitely be very beautiful, just like a painting.

  Next March, if Chu Yan was free, she could bring him over and let him, a money-making machine, rest for a few days.

  After leaving here, based on the route Ye Qingran had set, she would pass by the capital.

  Ye Qingran decided to visit Chi Xun.

  Chi Xun was very happy with Ye Qingran’s arrival and directly asked her to stay at the Chi family home instead of staying in a hotel.

  However, she was rejected by Ye Qingran.

  She only accompanied Chi Xun to the Chi family home for a meal. The original owner had met the Chi family’s parents before. They also knew that Chi Xun and Ye Qingran were junior high school classmates and were good friends.

  Chi Xun did not have many friends to begin with, so when Ye Qingran came, they were very enthusiastic and hoped that Ye Qingran could stay for a few more days and spend more time with Chi Xun.

  However, it was too cold in the capital, and Chi Xun’s health was not very good, so Ye Qingran only stayed for two days.

  Ye Qingran went straight to an island from the capital.

  It was almost the end of the year, and the hotels on the island were almost fully booked.

  Ye Qingran chose a relatively old hotel. The furnishings of this hotel were relatively retro, but it was especially clean, and even had an antique feel to it. Furthermore, it was very close to the beach.

  Ye Qingran liked this place very much. She had already stayed here for more than ten days, but had no intention of changing places.

  One day, she returned from diving and was lying on the beach to rest when a tall and straight figure suddenly appeared beside her.

  Ye Qingran looked up and saw a familiar person.

  That person was facing her and was smiling in surprise. “Yo, Ye Qingran, why are you here?”


  Ye Qingran looked at him expressionlessly. “Your acting is really fake.”


  The man was Leng Xiao.

  “What do you mean fake? I didn’t even know you were here.” Of course not. He came because he knew Ye Qingran was here.

  “Then, we aren’t particularly close, so now that we’ve greeted each other, you can go play on your own.” Ye Qingran waved her hand to let him go.

  Leng Xiao directly sat down at the side. “Why? It’s not easy to meet an old friend in a foreign land…”


  Ye Qingran sat up and raised her hand to interrupt him. “Stop, we are not friends.”


  Leng Xiao has a bad temper, and he stood up and pointed at Ye Qingran. “Aiya, I say, you are really heartless. I even celebrated your birthday with you, and we’re still not friends.”


  Once he finished speaking, regardless of whther Ye Qingran was willing or not, he reached out his hand rubbed her short hair, making it very messy.

  Ye Qingran smacked his hand. “Enough. If you touch my hair again, I will beat you up.”


  “Come then, who is afraid of you?”


  Leng Xiao looked at Ye Qingran provocatively.

  Before his voice died down, Ye Qingran suddenly threw a punch at Leng Xiao.

  Leng Xiao quickly dodged it.

  He was so angry that he glared at Ye Qingran. “Ye Qingran, you bastard. You really tried to hit me, I wont let you off!”


  Then, he also threw a punch.

  Ye Qingran immediately got up and exchanged a few blows with Leng Xiao. Although Leng Xiao was very good at fighting, he did not use his full strength. In the end, he tied with Ye Qingran.

  The two of them seemed like they wouldn’t recognize each other if they didn’t fight.

  After the fight, Leng Xiao laughed out loud.

  As for Ye Qingran, she also felt that Leng Xiao was not as annoying as before.

  “Damn, brat, you’re jealous of my good looks, aren’t you? That’s why you keep attacking my face?”


  Leng Xiao pointed at Ye Qingran and scolded. He turned on the camera on his phone and took a look at his handsome face. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with his face, he heaved a sigh of relief.

  Ye Qingran rolled her eyes at him. “You’re talking as if you didn’t aim for my face. It’s just thati dodged fast enough.”


  Leng Xiao put away his phone and said loudly, “If you treat me to a meal, I wont be angry anymore.”


  “A meal?” Ye Qingran laughed lightly. “You hit me and then you want me to spend money to treat you to a meal. No, I refuse!”


  “Then I’ll treat you to dinner. But from now on, we’re friends.”


  Ye Qingran refused, “I don’t want to.”


  Leng Xiao asked in surprise, “Why not? A man like me, who is handsome and talented, can be said to be perfect. Do you know how many people want to become friends with me, but I don’t care?”
