Chu Ruoruo’s eyes lit up, but she was still a little hesitant. “What if about men then? You can also hook up with a hundred men and continue to be the playboy.”


  “But I only like your brother.”


  “Really?”


  “Yes.”


  “You won’t fall for other men in the future?”


  “Yes.”


  “Why?”


  “Because your brother is the best. Do you not think so?” Ye Qingran asked.

  “Of course I think so.”


  “Then you don’t have to worry.”


  “I’m still a little worried.”


  “Why?”


  “Brother Ran, you’re too flirtatious. You always have a smile on your face and your eyes are so charming. You are just tempting people to fall for you.”


  Ye Qingran: “…”


  The two of them chatted and soon returned to the courtyard where they lived. Chu Ruoruo went back to her room to sleep.

  On the other hand, Ye Qingran pushed open the door to Chu Yan’s room.

  The room had already been cleaned. Chu Yan was sitting on the sofa and using his tablet, busy at work. When he saw Ye Qingran come in, he put down his tablet aside.

  Ye Qingran waved her hand. “Continue with your work. I just came to tell you that Ruoruo is fine. You don’t have to worry. Also, it’s getting late, don’t stay up doing work too late. Rest early.”


  With that, she was about to leave.

  Chu Yan waved at her. “Come here.”


  Ye Qingran walked over and sat down beside him. “Is there anything else?”


  Chu Yan spread his long arms on the back of the sofa and asked indifferently, “When I left Jiang City, you sent me a message saying that you’ll give me a surprise when I return to Jiang City.”


  “Surprise?”


  Ye Qingran did not react in time.

  She was stunned for a moment before she remembered. “I didn’t say it was a surprise. I only said that I have something to tell you, but I’m not sure if it’s a surprise or a shock.”


  Ye Qingran asked, “What is it?”


  Ye Qingran looked at Chu Yan.

  The cold and white light in the room fell on Chu Yan’s exquisite facial features. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly without any sense of oppression.

  However, it made Ye Qingran feel a little uncomfortable.

  She smiled and pretended to be mysterious. “I haven’t prepared the surprise in Capital City. I think I’ll say it after we head back to Jiang

  Right now, she did not want to tell Chu Yan.

  Because she had her own plans.

  Chu Yan leaned against the sofa, his eyes full of interest. “This makes me even more curious.”


  “Don’t be anxious, hehe.” Ye Qingran smiled and then changed the topic. “Brother, when you went home for the New Year, did your family set you up on a blind date?”


  Chu Yan looked at her indifferently and didn’t say anything.

  “You family really didn’t arrange one for you? But you’re not getting any younger.” Ye Qingran tapped on her chin and thought carefully. Then she asked, “Did they introduce you, but you didn’t want to go?”


  Chu Yan asked, “Are you that curious?”


  Ye Qingran winked at him teasingly. “I want to know if it’s because you’re shy, brother, that’s why you’re too embarrassed to go. Haha.”


  Chu Yan: “…”


  Ye Qingran pursed her lips and held back her laughter. “I think you shouldn’t be shy. You should be more daring. It’s just a blind date. You’ll get used to it after a few more dates.”


  Chu Yan looked as if he was holding back something he couldn’t say. He replied, “I don’t need a blind date.”


  Ye Qingran continued to advise him. “You’re single, and age is catching up to you, so I think you do need to go on a blind date. Give yourself a chance! This year, during the New Year, my brother’s father arranged a blind date for him. My brother was quite resistant at first, but he still went for it after all. I heard that the blind date turned out to be quite good and their relationship has some potential.”


  Chu Yan asked doubtfully, “Isn’t your brother’s father also your father?”


  Ye Qingran broke into a sweat. “Of course he’s my father. But now is not the time to talk about this. We’re talking about you going on blind dates.”


  Chu Yan asked, “Why? Is it not enough to be a matchmaker for your second brother? You still want to arrange a blind date for me?”


  Ye Qingran chose her words carefully and asked very sincerely. “What if I say yes? I want to introduce you to a beautiful woman. Will you go?”


  Chu Yan directly rejected, “I won’t go.”


  Ye Qingran snorted. “You don’t even know who she is, yet you have already rejected her. Aren’t you afraid of missing out on a good girl?”


  Chu Yan found it funny and asked, “Is 25 years old very old? Do I need to be in a hurry to go on a blind date?”


  Ye Qingran coughed lightly, she said in a careless tone, “Indeed, at 25 years old, you’re not in a rush. But to not have a girlfriend even at 25 years old, I’m afraid that you’re struggling to hold in your desire. A few days ago, I read a book saying that if we men don’t have any sexual experience after 25 years old, we might become perverts eventually.”


  Before she could finish her sentence, Chu Yan knocked her on the top of her head.

  Ye Qingran felt the pain and complained, “Hey, I’m just concerned about you.”


  He wanted to see if he was interested in finding a girlfriend. If he did, she wanted to introduce him to a beauty that would give him a big surprise.

  When that time comes, Ye Qingran would know whether it would be a surprise or a shock.

  However, she did not expect that Chu Yan was not interested in going for blind dates at all.

  Chu Yan grunted, “Hmm, are you concerned that I’m struggling to hold in my desire or that I’m going to become a pervert?”


  Ye Qingran: “…”


  She actually started to regret saying those words that she was afraid that he was struggling to hold in his desire.

  She was afraid that Chu Yan might not have such desires in the first place.

  However after she said those words, she was worried that it would be as if a seal had been lifted. If he really wanted to find a woman to fulfill his physical desires, that would not be good.

  With that thought in mind, Ye Qingran quickly waved her hand. With a silly smile, she said, “Just pretend that I didn’t say anything just now. I think it’s quite good for you to keep your body clean and continue prioritizing self-love. Just pretend that I didn’t say anything. You have to pretend that I didn’t say anything. You have to keep it up until you find someone you like.”


  Chu Yan asked, “So…”


  So what? Of course she could not continue saying what comes after that. Ye Qingran stood up and stretched. “It’s getting late. I’m going back to sleep.”


  Chu Yan did not let her leave. He suddenly asked, “How old are you this year?”


  Even though she did not know why he suddenly asked this, Ye Qingran still replied, “Don’t you know that we have the same birthdays? I’m 18.”


  Chu Yan smiled strangely. “You’re really young.”


  Ye Qingran replied, “Compared to you, I’m indeed quite young. Three years is a generation gap, so seven years is two and a half generations gaps.”


  Chu Yan ignored her words and said again, “Is it good to be young?”


  Ye Qingran shook her head.

  It depends on what he meant by “young”. [Note: “Young” also means “small” in this context.]

  She asked in puzzlement, “Why are you suddenly asking me about my age? Don’t tell me you want to introduce me to a girlfriend too? I don’t need one. You know that I have quite a lot of girlfriends. So many that I don’t even dare to be a playboy anymore.”


  Chu Yan replied with one word, “No.”


  Ye Qingran let out a long “oh” and stared at him without blinking. “If so, then why are you suddenly asking me about my age?”


  Chu Yan said, “I just want to know. I’ll tell you after you give me a surprise.”


  Ye Qingran asked, “You trying to make me tell you now?”


  “I’m not in a hurry.” Chu Yan stared at her with his deep eyes and said calmly, “I’ll wait for you to be ready.”


  Ye Qingran:”…”
