Chapter 238: Calm Before the Storm (2)

“How did you know about this? Don’t tell me you often visit our school’s website?” Ye Qingran asked.

“The person who harassed you has not been found yet. I naturally have to get people to pay attention to your school’s website,” Chu Yan replied.

“There haven’t been any movement during this period of time. I even suspect that he has given up, but I also know that it is impossible.” Ye Qingran quickly settled the matter and deleted the voting post on the school’s webiste.

“Other than the person who harassed you, do you have any other troubles?” Chu Yan placed his hand on her shoulder and stared straight at her.

Ye Qingran’s lips curled into a smile and winked at him. “What troubles?”

Chu Yan smiled and pinched her face. “After all, you’re so handsome. Both female and male students like you very much.”

Ye Qingran smiled at him. “Whether it’s a man or a woman, I can only like the person in front of me.”

Seeing the sly smile in her eyes, Chu Yan hugged her and placed her on his lap. “Why did you steal my lines?”

His forehead touched hers and the tip of his nose connected with hers.

He tilted his head slightly and was about to press on her lips… at that moment, Ye Qingran’s stomach made a gurgling sound.

Chu Yan immediately stopped moving.

Ye Qingran was embarrassed and blushed. “I’m hungry.”

Chu Yan burst into laughter and pecked her lips helplessly.

Then, he said to her, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to eat.”

Ye Qingran immediately stood up. “Are we going out to eat today?”

Chu Yan held Ye Qingran’s small hand. “Aunty asked for leave today.”

The two of them went out immediately. Half an hour later, the car stopped outside an alley.

Chu Yan held Ye Qingran’s hand and led her into the alley.

In the deepest part of the alley, there was a particularly elegant courtyard.

There were old locust trees planted outside the door, and all kinds of flowers and plants were planted in the courtyard. The overall look was particularly comfortable and leisurely, as if it was isolated from the bustling city.

A waiter wearing a cheongsam saw them and immediately greeted them with a smile. “Mr. Chu, I’m sorry. You called out of the blue, and there are no private rooms left. May I know if the hall is acceptable?”

Although this private restaurant was in an alley, business was particularly good.

Chu Yan asked Ye Qingran, “Is that okay?”

Ye Qingran nodded. “Of course.”

The waiter led the two of them into the restaurant and sat down at a seat by the window.

Ye Qingran pushed the menu in front of Chu Yan. “You can order. As long as it’s delicious, I’m fine with it.”

Chu Yan began to order the dishes. They were all Ye Qingran’s favorite dishes.

The two of them only had eyes for each other, so they did not notice that there was someone staring at them from a booth not far away.

Many times when Ye Qingran went out to eat, she would bump into Leng Xiao.

However, Leng Xiao had known in advance and deliberately ran over to meet Ye Qingran by chance.

However, this time, it really was an accident.

Leng Xiao also did not expect that he would bump into Ye Qingran here, especially when he was having a meal with a woman.

He was not interested in the woman opposite him. Of course, the woman opposite him was also not interested in him at all.

It was just that the two of them were encouraged to be together.

That was why he came out for this meal. Even if he had to consider his home, everyone would go their separate ways and walk on their own paths.

Even so, he was very unwilling. He did not want Ye Qingran to know that he was having a meal with another woman. He did not want Ye Qingran to misunderstand him. She would think that his love and pursuit were just for fun and that it was just a spur of the moment.

But seeing Ye Qingran and Chu Yan’s intimate look and gentle conversation, Leng Xiao could not help but be envious and jealous.

From Long Junyao, he already knew Chu Yan’s true identity.

He did not expect it to be that Asura.

Although Leng Xiao was afraid of Chu Yan, he did not give up. He still decided to compete with Chu Yan and pursue Ye Qingran.

After seeing Ye Qingran and Chu Yan, Leng Xiao did not listen to what Tian Tian said. He was eating absentmindedly.

Tian Tian looked at him in surprise and asked, “Leng Xiao, didn’t you just say that you don’t like to eat white-cut chicken? Then why are you eating my white-cut chicken?”

The two of them were not interested in each other. They had a meal together and each of them had their own favorite food.

Of course, this was Leng Xiao’s suggestion. You eat what you like, and I’ll eat what I like. But Leng Xiao would pay for everything.

Leng Xiao came back to his senses and realized that he had picked up the white cut chicken.

He immediately picked it up and was about to pass it to Tian Tian’s bowl.

Tian Tian immediately took the bowl away and said with a disdainful expression, “You were about to put it in your mouth just now, and now you’re giving it to me. I don’t want it.”

She asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you? Weren’t you fine just now? Why are you suddenly acting like this? Could it be that you like me and want to go back on your word?”

Although Leng Xiao in front of her was not bad in all aspects, except that he was a little older, she was going to marry for love.

She did not want to marry him.

Leng Xiao put down his chopsticks. “You’re thinking too much. I’m having dinner with you because I don’t want to be arranged another one.”

Tian Tian bit on her chopsticks and gossiped, “There are rumors that you don’t like women, but you like men. Is that true?”

Leng Xiao replied, “I have someone I like, and it’s a woman.”

Tian Tian was surprised. “You have a woman you like? Why are you going on a blind date then? Could it be that your family doesn’t approve of you and that woman, so you’re using me as a cover for you and that woman?”

“You’re asking too many questions,” Leng Xiao said.

“How am I asking too many questions? I just want to know that if you have a woman you like, why are you going on a blind date with me? You’re treating me to a meal and gifting me a handbag. You want me to pretend that we’re still in contact and have plans to develop. Haha, it can’t be that the girl doesn’t like you, and you haven’t gotten her yet, right?”

Tian Tian smiled gloatingly.

Leng Xiao, who had been hit, instantly darkened his face. “There are so many things to eat, but you still can’t shut your mouth. Why don’t we forget about this? I can find another one.”

Tian Tian hurriedly said, “Forget it. You can’t forget what you promised me just because you’re angry from embarrassment. The bag from the AMS family, the one I just told you about, you have to remember to buy it for me.”

Leng Xiao shook his head and was particularly speechless. “All you know are handbags, how vulgar.”

The woman he liked was still the most charming. She was different from the rest, fresh and refined.

Tian Tian snorted and whispered, “You’re not vulgar, what brands are you wearing? Why don’t you buy clothes from roadside stalls, they’re all just clothes anyway.”

As she said that, she turned her head to the side.

Her gaze accidentally caught sight of Chu Yan. Her eyes widened and she raised her trembling hand to point at Chu Yan. She stuttered, “Yan Yan Yan Yan…”

Leng Xiao followed her gaze and glanced at her. A trace of disdain flashed across his eyes. “What? The man you like is him?”

Tian Tian shook her head repeatedly. “The man I like is not him. The man that Kefei likes is him. Could the woman opposite him be his girlfriend?”
