“Thump thump, thump thump…” Ye Qingran’s hands could feel the man’s strong and powerful heartbeat.

  It seemed to be slightly irregular and chaotic.

  However, her own ears were filled with her own rapid heartbeat.

  It made her think that all these chaotic heartbeat sounds were all just her the sound of her own heartbeat going wild.

  However, the truth is, she was never the only one whose heart was beating wildly.

  Ye Qingran came back to her senses and realized that her hand was placed on his chest, and it was at the position of where his heart was.

  She quickly retracted her hand as if she was electrocuted and immediately stood up straight. Then, she smiled uncomfortably and said, “The pool was a little slippery, so I couldn’t stand properly. Thank you.”


  Chu Yan let go of her and sat down beside her. He casually replied, “It’s okay.”


  Ye Qingran was very embarrassed. She felt as if her heart was no longer hers. Moreover, the water was so hot, it was so hot, and her face was burning.

  She was a little out of breath. “Well, I’m almost done soaking. Take your time.”


  She wanted to leave immediately.

  However, just as she moved, Chu Yan grabbed her wrist.

  Ye Qingran looked at him in surprise……

  Chu Yan lowered his eyes and pulled her to sit beside him. “What’s the rush? Didn’t you just come here?”


  Their arms gently touched.

  Ye Qingran felt that her limbs turned soft and weak. She felt like she had lost all her strength.

  She was silent for a few seconds before she said stiffly, “Actually, I’ve been here for a long time.”


  Ahhhh!

  This man was like a heavenly scrumptious meal placed right of her. He was exactly the type that she liked. He was also the one that she was interested in.

  The two of them had such close physical contact. Wasn’t all this just tempting her to commit a crime?

  Looking at Chu Yan again, he still looked beautiful yet stoic. His facial expression and behavior did not change at all. He still looked so distant and far away. He was unfathomable.

  This appearance made her want to push him down, press down on this beautiful man, and then ravage him ruthlessly.

  “Brother, I really don’t want to soak anymore.” No, no, she absolutely could not soak anymore.

  If she continued to soak, she would definitely lose control.

  It would be terrible if Chu Yan knew that she actually wanted to have s*x with him when he treated her as his younger brother.

  Chu Yan said, “Even if you don’t want to soak anymore, wait a while before you leave.”


  A white towel suddenly landed on Ye Qingran’s head.

  Ye Qingran took the towel off her head. Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Chu Yan say, “Do you remember? You said you wanted to thank me and help me scrub my back.”


  “Huh? Scrub your back?”


  Ye Qingran was stunned for a moment. She then recalled that she had indeed promised to scrub Chu Yan’s back before in the past.

  Moreover, it was normal for men to take a bath together. It was also normal for them to scrub each other’s backs when bathing.

  She mumbled, “Oh, alright…”


  Ye Qingran soaked the towel in the water. Then, she placed it on Chu Yan’s back and gently scrub his back.

  She asked, “Is this strong enough?”


  Chu Yan was leaning against the edge of the wall of the hot spring pool. He replied indifferently, “You can use more strength.”


  Ye Qingran said, “I don’t have any strength in my hands. If I don’t scrub well, you should ask someone else to do it for you next time.”


  Chu Yan said, “Let’s take turns. I’ll help scrub your back for you later. Speaking of which, I’m quite curious. You’re a man, so why are you wearing a t-shirt and shorts when soaking in the hot spring?”


  He turned around and glanced at Ye Qingran, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

  Ye Qingran: “…”


  Of course, it was because she was not a man.

  She thought for a moment and said, “Of course, it’s because I don’t have a good figure. Do you think that everyone is you? You have such a good figure, it’s full of muscles, and it looks just right.”


  As she said that, she started caress the muscles on Chu Yan’s arm, pretending as if it was mindless and casual.

  They were so hard.

  Seeing Chu Yan looking straight at her, she smiled slightly. “I know, Brother. You often exercise.”


  Chu Yan smiled and teased, “Did you take advantage of me just now?”


  Ye Qingran immediately shook her head and said, “No, absolutely not.”


  Chu Yan looked ahead again and said with his back facing her, “I’m just joking. What are you panicking for? It’s the same as when you saw me coming in just now. Usually when you see me, I have never seen you panic like this before.”


  Ye Qingran could not see his face.

  She did not know if he was just asking casually or if he was trying to probe deeper.

  She said, “How can I not be nervous alone at night? Brother, it’s already so late, why are you only coming to the hot spring at this time?”


  Chu Yan replied, “I was waiting for you.”


  Ye Qingran said, “Waiting…waiting for me?”


  Chu Yan said, “Waiting for you to scrub my back.”


  Ye Qingran laughed and cried. “…”


  He was really treating her like a free worker, like it would be a waste not to use her.

  If he knew that the person who was scrubbing him was a wolf and wanted to eat him up, let’s see if he still dared to let her scrub his back.

  Hmm, yes, his figure was really good.

  The slightly protruding bones on his back were really sexy. Suddenly, all sorts of images appeared in Ye Qingran’s mind. These images were all about Chu Yan.

  No, no…She can’t!

  Too…too…it was too exciting!

  She immediately stood up. “I’m done. I’m leaving.”


  This time, with a vengeance, she imitated him and threw a towel at his head. “Take your time to soak. I’m leaving.”


  “Don’t you want me to scrub your back?” Chu Yan asked.

  “Haha, next time.”


  Ye Qingran waved her hand and left, a cloud of water vapor floating behind her.

  She returned to the bedroom and heaved a sigh of relief.

  Oh my gosh, it was so thrilling and exciting. It was like going skydiving, her heart just wouldn’t stop racing.

  After soaking in the bath, she felt very relaxed, but she was also hungry.

  The resort’s restaurant provided meals all around the clock and could deliver the food over at any time. Ye Qingran was ready to order some food and asked Chu Yan and Chu Ruoruo if they wanted to have supper.

  Sure enough, Chu Ruoruo was not asleep.

  When she heard that they wanted to have supper, she immediately ordered a bunch of food.

  Half an hour later, the table in the living room of Chu Yan’s room was filled with food.

  There were mains, porridge, and grilled food.

  Most of the food was eaten by Ye Qingran and Chu Ruoruo.

  As Chu Ruoruo chewed on the drumstick, she talked about a recipe to Ye Qingran. “I know how to cook this honey-flavored drumstick. I can cook it very well. Brother Ran, next time when you come to my house, I’ll cook it for you.”


  Ye Qingran said, “Okay.”


  Chu Ruoruo had previously asked Ye Qingran to help her speak to Chu Yan about her studying abroad.

  Ye Qingran had already told Chu Ruoruo that Chu Yan needed time to consider it.

  The atmosphere was very heartwarming now, and with Ye Qingran around, Chu Ruoruo looked at Chu Yan expectantly, hoping that Chu Yan would agree to her request. “Brother, can I apply to Capital University?”


  The corners of Chu Yan’s lips were pursed. He glanced at her without saying anything, but his entire body exuded a cold and arrogant aura that made people avoid him.

  Chu Ruoruo’s gaze immediately dimmed.

  She did not say another word.

  The drumstick in her hand suddenly tasted bad.

  She put it down and said gloomily, “I’m full. I’m going back to sleep.”


  After saying that, she stood up and left without looking back.

  Ye Qingran watched as Chu Ruoruo close the door and disappear. Then, she said to Chu Yan, “I’ll go and talk to her.”


  Chu Yan said, “No need.”


  Ye Qingran looked at him and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

  Chu Yan: “…”
