“Brother Ran…”


  Chu Ruoruo kept pestering her, tugging her sleeves and swaying her side to side.

  Ye Qingran was being swayed so wildly that she almost fainted. She said softly, “Actually, it’s not as difficult as you think. It’s just that I was a little lonely when I first went there. After a while, you’ll get to know new friends, and it will be no different from now. Also, look at these university students in China. It’s only the sixth day of the New Year, and they’ve already come to school. But if they’re overseas, life might be a little easier.”


  Actually, it was the same no matter where she went. Ultimately, it was mostly up to her.

  Chu Ruoruo said, “But I still want to stay. I want to stay in this city with Brother Ran, Sister Xun, and Tang Tang and Zixia. Even if we’re not in the same city, we can still see each other often.”


  Ye Qingran said, “Zixia would probably be going abroad to study too.”


  Chu Ruoruo said, “She actually doesn’t want to go either. She’s still discussing it with her family. Her father dotes on her very much. He’ll definitely agree.”


  Ye Qingran felt helpless.

  She hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, “Alright, I’ll agree to it. I’ll tell your brother about it, but I can’t guarantee that he would agree.”


  Chu Ruoruo smiled happily. “Mmm, as long as you’re willing to tell my brother.”


  No matter what, even if there was only a one percent chance, she still wanted to give it a try.

  She wanted to stay in the university that she wanted.

  The two of them came out of Capital University and made their way to have a meal together.

  Ye Qingran asked Chu Ruoruo, “What do you want to eat? Let’s take a taxi.”


  Chu Ruoruo gestured with a peace sign. “Of course we’ll have to let brother treat us to a meal. He’s already working while we’re still students.”


  Chu Ruoruo took out her phone and sent a message to Chu Yan. Naturally, she deliberately played dumb and beaten around the bush the before casually asking Chu Yan where he was.

  When she heard that Chu Yan was eating alone in a restaurant, she immediately took a taxi with Ye Qingran.

  The car stopped in front of an antique-looking building. The environment was quiet and elegant. It did not look like a restaurant, but more like a scenic spot.

  Ye Qingran turned her head and glanced at Chu Ruoruo, who was laughing secretly at her phone.

  She did not say anything. She did not want to ruin the surprise that Chu Ruoruo had prepared, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little evil.

  With Chu Ruoruo around, she always felt that her life was full of laughter. Chu Ruoruo was a funny person. She did not have to do or say anything, yet there was always a joyous atmosphere.

  Chu Ruoruo went to the front desk to ask about the private room that Chu Yan had booked and went straight to it.

  She knocked on the door of the private room twice and pushed it open immediately. Her eyes were wide open and she asked with a shocked expression, “Oh my, Brother, why are you here?”


  Chu Yan glanced at Ye Qingran and the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile. “I should be the one asking you this. Why are you in Capital City?”


  Chu Ruoruo quickly jumped in front of Chu Yan. “It’s a surprise, of course!”


  Ye Qingran laughed awkwardly. “Haha, this…that… We had followed my third brother here to give you a surprise.”


  She was absolutely sure that Chu Yan was not here when Chu Ruoruo first texted him.

  He had only come here to wait for them after Chu Ruoruo asked him where he was. After all, it just so happened that it was lunchtime now.

  Chu Yan did not spoil Chu Ruoruo’s mood. He looked indifferent as if he did not know anything.

  However.

  Ye Qingran glanced at Chu Yan.

  He had discovered someone else’s secret, yet he could still pretend that he did not know anything.

  Moreover, he acted so naturally.

  She had suspected several times that Chu Yan already knew that she was a girl. Yet, she never noticed him acting any differently. Could it be that Chu Yan was pretending?

  She was not Chu Ruoruo. She was not so easy to fool.

  “Brother Ran, Brother Ran…”


  Someone shook her shoulder. Ye Qingran heard Chu Ruoruo calling her and she immediately turned to look at her. “What’s wrong?”


  Chu Ruoruo pushed the menu towards her and looked at it with her. “Let’s order some dishes. Why are you in a daze? I called you so many times, but you didn’t reply.”


  Chu Yan looked at her calmly. “What do you want to eat?”


  Ye Qingran laughed. “I’m fine with anything. This soup looks pretty good.”


  Chu Ruoruo said, “Sure, lets order this soup. I also want to eat soms spicy chicken.”


  After ordering, Chu Ruoruo got up and went to the bathroom.

  Before she left, she gave Ye Qingran a glance, hinting to Ye Qingran to remember to tell Chu Yan about the issue of Chu Ruoruo studying abroad.

  Ye Qingran blinked back at her, indicating that she would definitely tell him.

  Chu Yan’s eyes were indifferent, but he observed everything.

  He asked, “What are you two up to?”


  Ye Qingran smiled and asked him, “Did you know that Ruoruo Likes Capital University very much?”


  Chu Yan:”…”


  Looking at his expression, Ye Qingran knew that he definitely did not know that

  She did not hide anything from him and directly told him everything. “When we came together today, she excitedly dragged me to Capital University with her. She said that she really wanted to go to Capital University, which was the school she wanted to go to the most. She didn’t want to study abroad and didn’t want to leave you, her mom and her dad. She wanted to go to Capital University. She probably did argue with you about it before, but you rejected her. We lied to her before that we were a couple and made her think that our relationship was very good. So that’s why she thought that you might listen to what I said, so she asked me to talk to you about this. She hoped that you would consider it and not let her study abroad.”


  Chu Yan did not say anything. He only picked up some food for Ye Qingran. “Try this.”


  Ye Qingran:”…”


  As expected, there was no hope.

  No matter how well he treated her, she was not someone who could interfere with their family matters.

  Moreover, Chu Ruoruo was going to study at a famous university abroad. Many people would be begging to even have such an opportunity.

  “I’ll think about it.”


  Chu Yan suddenly said.

  Ye Qingran saw that his expression did not change and neither did his tone.

  She did not know if he really wanted to think about it or if he was just brushing her off.

  But no matter what, it was good that there was room for discussion after all.

  She spoke up for Chu Ruoruo, “Ruoruo likes you very much and admires you as her brother. She also cares about your opinion of her. Moreover, she came to Capital City with us this time because she missed you.”


  Chu Yan’s gaze suddenly turned deep as he looked at her and asked, “She wants me to come to Capital City? What about you? Why did you come to Capital City?”


  Ye Qingran was stunned for a moment before she replied with a smile, “Of course, I heard from Ruoruo that you were bullied in Capital City and specially came here to help you earn back your pride and help you torture some scum!”


  Chu Yan replied, “Earn back my pride and help me torture some scum?”


  Ye Qingran nodded repeatedly and raised her eyebrows with a hint of wickedness. “Yes, if there are scum, you must tell me. I enjoy making them eat their words, earn back my pride and torturing them he most.”


  Chu Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He teased, “It seems that you’re very experienced. Should I ask you to tutor me?”


  Ye Qingran immediately raised up five fingers. “That will be five thousand an hour.”


  Chu Yan asked, “What happened to helping me?”


  Ye Qingran said, “It’s free to help you torture scum, but I have to pay to teach you how to torture scum. It’s different.”


  Chu Yan asked, “What’s different?”


  Ye Qingran said, “Hehe, I won’t tell you.”
