A light rain began to fall, but Ye Nuan still showed no sign of leaving.

Duan Ye: "I'll handle it."

After saying that, Duan Ye got out of the car.

A short while later, Duan Ye returned, his clothes already soaked from the rain. Luo Qingyuan took a towel and dried his hair.

Meanwhile, a female taxi driver stopped in front of Ye Nuan.

"Little girl, what's wrong? The rain is getting heavier. Hurry home, or your family will worry."

Ye Nuan still didn't react. The aunt thought for a moment and said, "Little girl, don't you have any younger siblings? Is it alright if you don't go back?"

younger brother…

Ye Nuan finally reacted.

The aunt got out of the car and helped Ye Nuan pick up the food box on the ground: "Little girl, hurry up and get in the car. It's raining so hard, you're all soaked. You'll catch a cold."

Ye Nuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Ye Nuan got into the car, but she was completely soaked.

So Ye Nuan said apologetically, "Auntie, I'm so sorry for getting your car dirty."

The aunt waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, this isn't a very nice car. It'll be fine once it's dried out."

"This is what your auntie is telling you: young girls shouldn't get wet in the rain, it's easy to catch a cold and it's bad for your health. You need to learn to take good care of yourself so that others will take care of you in the future."

Ye Nuan gave a wry smile and hugged the food box in her arms tightly: "Thank you, Auntie, I will."

Seeing Ye Nuan's distraught appearance, the aunt shook her head, sighed, and said nothing more.

That boy paid her double, otherwise she wouldn't have bothered to come and pull this girl away.

That boy was a good kid, but I don't know what happened between him and this girl...

Feelings are the most inexplicable thing in the world.

Until I am about to return to my warm home.

Ye Nuan asked softly, "Auntie, what exactly is love?"

The aunt paused for a few seconds before suddenly smiling and saying, "Child, I don't know what love is, but I do know that when a relationship comes to an end, the most important thing is to maintain dignity, not to slander. It's better to gracefully wish the other person happiness and live their own life well than anything else."

"After all, no one in this world is obligated to always accommodate the other."

"When fate brings us together, we gather; when fate separates us, we part. Think positively, it's not a big deal."

Ye Nuan was still listening when the aunt stopped the car: "Girl, we've arrived. Go home now."

Ye Nuan smiled and said, "Thank you."

Ye Nuan didn't shed two more tears until her aunt drove away.

She never told her aunt that she lived in a cozy home, and who could help her like that? The answer is obvious.

What...did she do?

A light rain was still falling from the horizon, and Ye Nuan felt icy cold all over. She remembered cursing Duan Ye's ugly appearance with the most vicious words.

But at the same time, she also remembered that night two years ago, when Duan Ye apologized to her, and the words she carefully uttered:

"It's okay, senior. I really like you. Can we give it a try?"

Duan Ye asked her, "What do you mean?"

She said, "Senior, can you be my...boyfriend?"

Under the cover of night, the eighteen-year-old girl blushed as red as a cherry.

Ye Nuan didn't know how they had gotten to this point.

——

At this moment, Luo Qingyuan drove Duan Ye home.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't have a proper date with you today because of what I was doing."

Luo Qingyuan glanced at him and said, "Hmph, what kind of date are you going on with me? Go on a date with your Nuannuan..."

Duan Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "I have nothing to do with her anymore."

Luo Qingyuan still gave a light snort: "If we have no relationship, why are you calling me so intimately?"

Duan Ye was speechless for a moment, and quickly assured him, "There won't be a next time!"

Luo Qingyuan ignored him and focused on driving.

Duan Ye panicked a little: "Um... it's so late now, how about I treat you to some late-night snacks?"

"Oh? You want to eat with me? I'm not worthy to eat with your Brother Duan! I'd be full just from drinking the northwest wind. You go eat with Sister Nuan Nuan~"

Luo Qingyuan's sarcastic tone made Duan Ye want to laugh, but he knew that if he laughed now, the consequences would be even more serious.

"Oh dear, Sister Luo, I really explained it to her! I really, really!"

Luo Qingyuan rolled her eyes at him: "Why are you calling me 'sister'? Call me 'Little Sister Nuannuan'!"

Duan Ye: "..."

Why does it smell so strongly of vinegar?

Luo Qingyuan had just stopped her car and was waiting at a traffic light when she immediately retorted.

"Who's jealous? Jealous of Nuannuan? Why would I be jealous? I love Nuannuan so much~"

Duan Ye was truly at his wit's end.

Who would have thought that Luo Qingyuan would act this way when she's jealous?

Finally home, Luo Qingyuan walked very fast, and Duan Ye, carrying bags and things, couldn't catch up.

When they got home, Duan Ye didn't even have time to take off his shoes before rushing over to grab Luo Qingyuan's hand and explaining breathlessly.

"I was really wrong, I promise I won't call her that again..."

Luo Qingyuan looked at him coldly: "Why are you apologizing to me? Apologize to your Nuannuan... um..."

Luo Qingyuan's mouth was immediately covered by Duan Ye.

Luo Qingyuan really can't stop talking about Nuannuan...

He was truly terrified.

Luo Qingyuan glared at him, then took a step back and grabbed his collar just as Duan Ye was about to speak.
