Caught off guard, Kieran bit his lip.

soft.

Warm.

And there is pain!

Qin Ran subconsciously opened his mouth because of the pain.

A small snake crawled in.

It was like suddenly entering a strange place and wandering around.

But the little snake was finally forced to leave.

......

Qin Ran covered his mouth and took a few steps back, staring at An Ke with wide eyes, who had a dazed look in her eyes.

What is going on?

Kieran felt a rusty taste flow from his lips into his mouth and down his throat.

"What are you crazy about?"

"I just want to go crazy for once, is that not okay?"

Qin Ran didn't want to argue any further and was about to leave to call someone in to send An Ke back.

But just as she turned to walk towards the door, An Ke hugged her from behind.

"Little wolfdog, stay with me for a while, just a little while, okay?" An Ke said in a trembling voice, no longer as tough as before, but with a hint of pleading.

Qin Ran stood still, he felt that An Ke was on the verge of collapse.

But until now, he still doesn't know what happened.

He suddenly remembered Liu Yiyi's hesitant look before entering the door.

Maybe something happened before he came, and Liu Yiyi might know.

But it seems meaningless to explore the cause now.

"Little wolfdog, you're driving me crazy. Why do you appear in my world? Can't you just stay away from me?"

Qin Ran was stunned.

He never imagined what he meant to Encore.

The two of them didn't have much interaction, it was just a little crazy on some nights!

Qin Ran remained silent. He was not stupid and roughly guessed how An Ke felt about him.

But he could only remain silent.

.......

After an unknown amount of time, Encore finally regained his composure.

"You can go now. Little wolfdog, I will help you with Xiaoyue's matter."

"But we can't hide it for much longer. You and Qingmo had better confront Xiaoyue as soon as possible."

"A short pain is worse than a long one. It's not fair to Xiaoyue either."

"Also, you'd better stop Xiaoyue from thinking about you. Stop playing dumb. You know whether she likes you or not."

"Let's go. I'm annoyed by you."

Qin Ran walked out the door silently without saying anything else.

The moment he walked out the door, he heard the sound of wine glasses breaking in the box.

Perhaps what was broken was never the wine glass, but Encore's life.

Kieran wasn't sure, but he didn't think he could save Anke's life.

He himself hasn't yet dealt with his relationship with Su Qingmo.

And he had to confess to Su Muyue and make her accept it.

Qin Ran was not sure what Su Muyue was thinking at first, but now he had a rough idea.

There's no need to lie to yourself anymore.

But Qin Ran still believed that he could make amends, even if Su Muyue's feelings for him were different.

It won't really change that much. It's impossible to go from not liking someone to liking them all of a sudden, and it's even more impossible to turn it into love.

Kieran was very clear about this.

No matter what, An Ke was right and he had to confess to Su Muyue as soon as possible.

Walking out of the box, Qin Ran saw Liu Yiyi standing at the end of the corridor.

The lights in the corridor were not dim. Liu Yiyi saw Qin Ran's wet collar and smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

"Qin Ran, are you okay?"

"fine."

"You've had a lot to drink. Let me call a designated driver for you."

"I can call someone at the door myself. You go to the box and clean up. Tell Sister An to stop drinking."

"I can't persuade her. Sometimes she drinks a lot, but she's not like that normally."

"Did something happen today?"

"I'm not sure either. But I heard from the person on duty at the store that someone came into the store this afternoon and had an argument with Sister An."

"Who is it?"

"have no idea."

Kieran roughly guessed who it was.

There are only two possibilities: either it is An Ke’s family or An Ke’s in-laws’ family.

"I see. You go first. By the way, can you drive?"

“Yes, but not very familiar with it.”

"Just send Sister An back. Just say I said it."

Liu Yiyi was stunned.

"Okay. Then drive slowly."

"Well, send me a message when you get there."

After Qin Ran finished his instructions, he walked out. He first borrowed a cigarette from someone at the store door, smoked it, and then found a designated driver to return to school.

......

Liu Yiyi knocked on the door of the box and walked in.

The box was in a mess, with wine bottles scattered all over the floor.

Anke slumped on the sofa, staring at the ceiling expressionlessly.

"Why did you come back? Are you brave enough to steal again?"

"Sister An, it's me."

"It's Yiyi. I thought it was a little wolfdog. Come and have a couple of drinks with me."

"Sister An, stop drinking."

"Are you going to control me too?"

"Qin Ran asked me to take you back."

An Ke was stunned, lowered her eyes, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Tsk~ You don't even dare to want me, so why are you still caring about me? You're really nosy."

Liu Yiyi didn't hear what An Ke was mumbling, so she squatted down and started to put away the wine bottle.

An Ke stood up by holding the armrest of the sofa.

"Let's go and let others clean up."

Liu Yiyi paused. She didn't expect that mentioning Qin Ran's name would actually work.

Encore, who used to ignore everyone's opinions, is now so obedient?

She felt incredible!

But it was true, the facts were right before her.

So what position does Qin Ran hold in An Ke's heart?

An answer vaguely emerged in Liu Yiyi's mind.

Just now she noticed that Qin Ran's lower lip was broken, but she didn't ask any further questions.

Because she was worried that it was Encore who hit her and she was afraid that Qin Ran would be embarrassed.

But now she thinks it might not be a beating, but...

Liu Yiyi didn't dare to think about it any further, as it was all just her guess.

Maybe she was just overthinking it.

Liu Yiyi sent Anke home. She didn’t drive the Ferrari because she couldn’t drive it, so she drove a Lincoln.

After finally settling Anke down, Liu Yiyi wanted to leave but was stopped by Anke.

"Little wolfdog, can you stay with me for a while longer? Just a little while."

Liu Yiyi was stunned. "Little wolfdog" should be what Qin Ran called her.

Was this a mistake for Qin Ran?

So what exactly happened in the box just now?

What is the relationship between Qin Ran and An Ke? How is Qin Ran's relationship now?

Liu Yiyi felt very confused and wanted to find Qin Ran to ask for clarification.

But she had no right to ask, because she was not Qin Ran's.

Liu Yiyi was pulled to sit down and listened to An Ke, who was lying powerlessly on the bed with his eyes closed, chattering about something.

She finally understood.

......

Qin Ran had already returned to school at this time, but he did not go back to the dormitory. Instead, he stood at a corner not far from the cafeteria.

Not far ahead, a girl was searching for something in the bushes using the flashlight on her cell phone.

Qin Ran recognized the girl at a glance.

Who else could it be but Su Muyue?

Qin Ran took a deep breath and strode towards Su Muyue.
