Chapter 8

After Ming Yunle explained the whole story, Ruan Yan suddenly understood.

As for traveling, Ming Yunle hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll probably still travel, but I definitely won't stay here for this long. Probably only a month or two at most. But isn't your hometown City M? Why are you in City A again?"

"My parents' hometown is in City A. They moved away later, and now they both want to go back home. When I came, they hadn't made up their minds yet. As they talked to me on the phone, they became more and more excited, so they decided to move back."

Ming Yunle suddenly understood.

At this point, Ruan Yan shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter to me. I'm a full-time writer now, so I came to City A with you."

Ming Yunle suddenly thought of Gu Jing who was also going to move to City A.

No, that's not right.

He moved back. He was originally from City A, but he went to university in City M and stayed in City M.

When you think about it this way, they really are destined to be together.

It was almost seven o'clock when Ming Yunle realized that Gu Jing and Xia Chen had not returned.

He got up and went out to take a look, only to find that it was raining again.

They might have been stopped somewhere by the rain, so they just stayed there for the date. They are both casual people.

Ming Yunle, knowing his cousin's character well, didn't care anymore. Xia Chen would call him if anything happened anyway.

After playing two more games with Ruan Yan, Ming Yunle stopped first.

He touched his belly and curled his lips.

It was a little early for dinner and he was hungry.

He kind of wanted to eat a cake from a nearby cake shop.

Ming Yunle hesitated for a long time, but it was not a good idea to bother others at this time, so he said, "I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."

Ruan Yan felt a little strange: "Isn't it raining outside? Are you in a hurry?"

Ming Yunle pursed his lips, a little embarrassed: "I'm hungry."

Ruan Yan was even more puzzled: "Isn't there food in the kitchen?"

After learning the whole story, Ruan Yan picked up the car keys on the table without saying a word. "I'll take you there."

That would be too troublesome, and it’s not like he can’t drive.

Before he could refuse, Ruan Yan spoke first: "I've been bored in the house for a long time and wanted to go out for a walk. This is perfect." After saying that, he went to get an umbrella.

Seeing that Ruan Yan didn't feel forced at all, Ming Yunle's mouth corners curled up slightly.

Before Ruan Yan could get in the car, he received a call from Gu Jing.

Seeing his speechless expression, I guess Gu Jing was busy with his date with Xia Chen and told him about it.

Ruan Yan was still on the phone when Ming Yunle got into the car first.

Ming Yunle didn't sleep well last night, and he was busy for a long time today. He had a very full meal at noon, and wandered around and played games in the afternoon. In fact, he was very tired.

So Ming Yunle fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.

He fell asleep before Ruan Yan came in.

After Ruan Yan hung up the phone and returned to the car, he saw Ming Yunle with his eyes closed and breathing heavily.

Looking at the person who fell asleep in seconds, Ruan Yan couldn't help laughing.

This guy fell asleep without even fastening his seat belt?

How sleepy must you be? You're so sleepy but still want to eat cake.

After Ruan Yan closed the car door, he looked at the sleeping Ming Yunle for a while. Because he couldn't bear to wake him up, he simply got up and tried to help him fasten his seat belt.

Ming Yunle had just fallen asleep, but not yet completely asleep, so he was naturally awakened by Ruan Yan's actions.

He opened his eyes drowsily and saw Ruan Yan's face very close to him, his breath spraying on his face.

Ming Yunle understood.

Was he buckling himself up? Without even waking himself up?

It was clearly me who wanted to eat the cake, but I fell asleep and now I am the one who was fastened with the seat belt?

"Ruan Yan." Ming Yunle blurted out: "Thank you for always being nice to me. I will always remember those who are nice to me."

Ruan Yan suddenly couldn't explain what he felt. He was stunned for a moment and then looked down at Ming Yunle.

The moment their eyes met, Ruan Yan felt as if he had held his breath and his voice was choked in his throat.

It was so close, they had never been so close before.

He was so close that he could see the down on Ming Yunle's face, so close that he could feel each other's warm breath, and his eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

Seeing the look Ming Yunle gave him and thinking of what he had just said, Ruan Yan's heart suddenly beat uncontrollably.

Ming Yunle continued, "You're so good to me, I'll be good to you too..."

For some unknown reason, Ruan Yan covered Ming Yunle's mouth.

He felt too embarrassed to continue listening and felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

It was not until a strong wind blew outside the window, rustling the leaves outside, that Ruan Yan looked away as if waking from a dream.

Along the way, Ruan Yan, a particularly talkative person, didn't say a word.

Ming Yunle didn't say anything either. He just stared out the window, not saying a word, but his ears were completely red.

He didn't know how he said those words. When he realized what he had said, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

I was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion and couldn't control myself from saying these words, ahhhhhhhhh!

When has he ever been so genuine?

"We're here." "What?"

Ruan pointed to a location: "The cake shop you mentioned."

Ming Yunle realized it belatedly and said "Oh" and quickly stood up.

"Umbrella, why are you going out when it's raining so hard outside?" Ruan Yan handed over a dark blue umbrella and Ming Yunle took it.

Looking at Ming Yunle's back as he left with an umbrella, Ruan Yan looked puzzled.

An idea came to mind.

No way.

Ruan Yan leaned against the backrest of the car, covered his face with his hands, and let out a long breath.

He put down his hand and looked back at the cake shop. He didn't move until the familiar figure came out.

"For you."

Ming Yunle handed a box to Ruan Yan.

Although Ruan Yan took it and put it behind him, he was still unaware.

Ming Yunle gave Ruan Yan a strange look: "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Ruan Yan started the car and fell silent again.

It was getting late, so Ming Yunle decided to stay with Xia Chen, so he told Xia Chen about it.

Xia Chen just replied with a happy emoticon and disappeared.

It seems that they are indeed on a date. Normally, why would he have to reply a few more times?

After Ming Yunle turned off his phone, he involuntarily shrank back into his seat.

He just felt cold all over, had a headache, a dry throat, and felt very uncomfortable.

He seems to have a fever.

Ming Yunle thought about how he had gotten carried away and asked Ruan Yan to turn down the air conditioner, and he began to regret it.

After Ruan Yan parked the car in the parking lot, he found that Ming Yunle's face was flushed with an unusual color.

He quickly touched Ming Yunle's forehead and found that the temperature was a little high.

After entering the house and telling the housekeeper, the housekeeper brought over a box.

Ruan Yan stuffed the thermometer into Ming Yunle's hand.

"Take your temperature first."

Ming Yunle, who was 1.8 meters tall, was sitting obediently on the small sofa. Her hair was very messy and sticking out in all directions, and her face was unnaturally red.

In his hand, he was still holding the hot water that Ruan Yangang had brought him.

Ruan Yan saw that he looked a little pitiful and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"good."

After saying that, Ming Yunle took out the thermometer.

37.9 degrees, not a serious fever.

After seeing the temperature, Ming Yunle took the antipyretic medicine that had been prepared long ago and took it.

The fever made Ming Yunle's brain, which was not very clear to begin with, become drowsy again in a short time. After drinking the second glass of water, he felt very sleepy. Xia Chen also came in at this time.

After hearing this, Xia Chen quickly came over and pushed Ming Yunle to Ming Yunle's exclusive room: "Go to bed quickly. You can't stay up late if you have a fever. Just stay here and I will take care of you."

Ming Yunle fell asleep soon after his head touched the pillow.

Ming Yunle slept very soundly that night, but someone else did not sleep well all night.

All kinds of complicated thoughts mixed together, making people who have no experience in love and heartbeats toss and turn and unable to sleep.

He tried to analyze the cause of his rapid heartbeat.

Do you like it?

If I didn't like him, then why was my heart beating so fast in the car? Was it because I had never been so close to Ming Yunle before?

This is not right. There were many times when he was closer to Gu Jing, and his heartbeat was very steady.

He had to recall all the times he and Ming Yunle met again.

In fact, ever since this reunion, he has always felt that he particularly wants to get close to Ming Yunle.

But Ruan Yan felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Ming Yunle is a friend he cherishes very much. They haven't seen each other for a long time. Isn't it normal for him to want to be with Ming Yunle all the time?

But my heartbeat told me that it might not be the case.

Ruan Yan thought again of the subtle excitement he felt when he and Ming Yunle reunited, the overwhelming joy he felt when he noticed Ming Yunle looking at him in the restaurant, the involuntary closeness between them at the beach, and the uncontrollable desire to share while they were having fun...

Ruan Yan couldn't sleep any more. He just liked Ming Yunle, he was sure of it.

When did he fall in love with Ming Yunle? When they met again? Even earlier?

Aa ...

Will he be able to sleep well tonight?

The next day, Ming Yunle slept until 10 o'clock in the morning.

When he woke up and turned on his phone, he found that Xia Chen had sent him a message asking if he was awake.

Less than two minutes after I replied "wake up", there was a knock on the door.

"It's time to eat." Xia Chen's voice came through the door.

After Ming Yunle got up and opened the door, Xia Chen brought him to the dining table.

"When you're sick, eat light."

He had just finished eating when Ruan Yan called and asked how he was doing.

After being shown concern, Ming Yunle almost rushed up and said, "I actually have a crush on you."

Fortunately, I woke up before I could implement it.

Although Ruan Yanfang takes care of himself, he doesn't seem to be that interested in himself.

Ruan Yan has a very good personality and is good at taking care of others. You can't just assume that people like you just because they are nice to you.

Thinking of this, Ming Yunle, who had not taken any action to pursue the person, muttered in his heart, "We will no longer be friends sooner or later."
