Chu Ruoruoâs eyes lit up, but she was still a little hesitant. âWhat if about men then? You can also hook up with a hundred men and continue to be the playboy.â
âBut I only like your brother.â
âReally?â
âYes.â
âYou wonât fall for other men in the future?â
âYes.â
âWhy?â
âBecause your brother is the best. Do you not think so?â Ye Qingran asked.
âOf course I think so.â
âThen you donât have to worry.â
âIâm still a little worried.â
âWhy?â
âBrother Ran, youâre 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.â
Ye Qingran: ââ¦â
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 Yanâs 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. âContinue with your work. I just came to tell you that Ruoruo is fine. You donât have to worry. Also, itâs getting late, donât stay up doing work too late. Rest early.â
With that, she was about to leave.
Chu Yan waved at her. âCome here.â
Ye Qingran walked over and sat down beside him. âIs there anything else?â
Chu Yan spread his long arms on the back of the sofa and asked indifferently, âWhen I left Jiang City, you sent me a message saying that youâll give me a surprise when I return to Jiang City.â
âSurprise?â
Ye Qingran did not react in time.
She was stunned for a moment before she remembered. âI didnât say it was a surprise. I only said that I have something to tell you, but Iâm not sure if itâs a surprise or a shock.â
Ye Qingran asked, âWhat is it?â
Ye Qingran looked at Chu Yan.
The cold and white light in the room fell on Chu Yanâs 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. âI havenât prepared the surprise in Capital City. I think Iâll say it after we head back to Jiang [email protected]
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. âThis makes me even more curious.â
âDonât be anxious, hehe.â Ye Qingran smiled and then changed the topic. âBrother, when you went home for the New Year, did your family set you up on a blind date?â
Chu Yan looked at her indifferently and didnât say anything.
âYou family really didnât arrange one for you? But youâre not getting any younger.â Ye Qingran tapped on her chin and thought carefully. Then she asked, âDid they introduce you, but you didnât want to go?â
Chu Yan asked, âAre you that curious?â
Ye Qingran winked at him teasingly. âI want to know if itâs because youâre shy, brother, thatâs why youâre too embarrassed to go. Haha.â
Chu Yan: ââ¦â
Ye Qingran pursed her lips and held back her laughter. âI think you shouldnât be shy. You should be more daring. Itâs just a blind date. Youâll get used to it after a few more dates.â
Chu Yan looked as if he was holding back something he couldnât say. He replied, âI donât need a blind date.â
Ye Qingran continued to advise him. âYouâre 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 brotherâs 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.â
Chu Yan asked doubtfully, âIsnât your brotherâs father also your father?â
Ye Qingran broke into a sweat. âOf course heâs my father. But now is not the time to talk about this. Weâre talking about you going on blind dates.â
Chu Yan asked, âWhy? Is it not enough to be a matchmaker for your second brother? You still want to arrange a blind date for me?â
Ye Qingran chose her words carefully and asked very sincerely. âWhat if I say yes? I want to introduce you to a beautiful woman. Will you go?â
Chu Yan directly rejected, âI wonât go.â
Ye Qingran snorted. âYou donât even know who she is, yet you have already rejected her. Arenât you afraid of missing out on a good girl?â
Chu Yan found it funny and asked, âIs 25 years old very old? Do I need to be in a hurry to go on a blind date?â
Ye Qingran coughed lightly, she said in a careless tone, âIndeed, at 25 years old, youâre not in a rush. But to not have a girlfriend even at 25 years old, Iâm afraid that youâre struggling to hold in your desire. A few days ago, I read a book saying that if we men donât have any sexual experience after 25 years old, we might become perverts eventually.â
Before she could finish her sentence, Chu Yan knocked her on the top of her head.
Ye Qingran felt the pain and complained, âHey, Iâm just concerned about you.â
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, âHmm, are you concerned that Iâm struggling to hold in my desire or that Iâm going to become a pervert?â
Ye Qingran: ââ¦â
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, âJust pretend that I didnât say anything just now. I think itâs quite good for you to keep your body clean and continue prioritizing self-love. Just pretend that I didnât say anything. You have to pretend that I didnât say anything. You have to keep it up until you find someone you like.â
Chu Yan asked, âSoâ¦â
So what? Of course she could not continue saying what comes after that. Ye Qingran stood up and stretched. âItâs getting late. Iâm going back to sleep.â
Chu Yan did not let her leave. He suddenly asked, âHow old are you this year?â
Even though she did not know why he suddenly asked this, Ye Qingran still replied, âDonât you know that we have the same birthdays? Iâm 18.â
Chu Yan smiled strangely. âYouâre really young.â
Ye Qingran replied, âCompared to you, Iâm indeed quite young. Three years is a generation gap, so seven years is two and a half generations gaps.â
Chu Yan ignored her words and said again, âIs it good to be young?â
Ye Qingran shook her head.
It depends on what he meant by âyoungâ. [Note: âYoungâ also means âsmallâ in this context.]
She asked in puzzlement, âWhy are you suddenly asking me about my age? Donât tell me you want to introduce me to a girlfriend too? I donât need one. You know that I have quite a lot of girlfriends. So many that I donât even dare to be a playboy anymore.â
Chu Yan replied with one word, âNo.â
Ye Qingran let out a long âohâ and stared at him without blinking. âIf so, then why are you suddenly asking me about my age?â
Chu Yan said, âI just want to know. Iâll tell you after you give me a surprise.â
Ye Qingran asked, âYou trying to make me tell you now?â
âIâm not in a hurry.â Chu Yan stared at her with his deep eyes and said calmly, âIâll wait for you to be ready.â
Ye Qingran:ââ¦â
