Then he leaned closer and whispered...

"Jiang Ran, I've brought you your tie."

Her voice was very soft and gentle.

However, his brows furrowed even more.

She thought for a moment and added a sentence

"goodbye."

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

Just as he took a step out, the person who had been sleeping on the table seemed to wake up.

She opened her eyes groggily, and with a quicker movement, grabbed the person who was about to leave.

He pulled too hard and didn't control his strength.

Su Yan wasn't paying attention and was pulled back two steps, bumping into him.

He frowned, perhaps still feeling sleepy, his eyes bloodshot.

Seeing that it was Su Yan, he tried to keep his tone gentle.

"Why didn't you wake me up when you got here?"

But the words still sounded harsh to the ears.

She blinked and pointed to the gift bag on the table.

"Your tie is inside."

Jiang Ran glanced at her, but kept his hand firmly on her wrist, and his attention returned to her.

After a while, the bloodshot in his eyes finally faded.

His expression and tone were somewhat languid, and his eyelids were slightly raised.

His fierce aura subsided, and when he smiled, it was almost unsettling.

He spoke

"Just here to deliver a tie?"

Su Yan nodded.

Then I regretted it.

He shook his head again, speaking slowly and softly.

"I have something to ask you."

Upon hearing this, he raised an eyebrow.

Tell me about it.

She organized her thoughts.

"what do you like?"

Her words caused his eyes to darken instantly, and his throat to bob almost imperceptibly.

"kindness?"

Su Yan raised her voice a little, and spoke very seriously.

Do you have anything you like?

His smile was languid and carefree.

"have"

What is it?

Before answering you, tell me why you asked that question?

Su Yan thought for a moment and said

I'd like to get to know you.

Jiang Ran was taken aback by her blunt words.

His smile widened, his eyes deepened, and his gaze toward her became urgent and intense.

Su Yan licked her lips, and for some reason, she felt a little afraid to meet his gaze.

"Can you answer my question now?"

He averted his gaze, lowered his eyelids, and appeared nonchalant.

"There are too many to remember right now."

He paused, then continued...

"Why don't you tell me what you like?"

Su Yan listened to his words and thought for a while until her head started to ache again.

She had just spoken

"I don't have any favorites."

What do you hate?

"There's nothing to dislike about it."

Jiang Ran thought these words were almost like a perfunctory response.

But when she says these words, it makes you think that she really believes it.

He didn't ask anything more, stood up, picked up her schoolbag, and held it in his hand.

"School's over, I'll take you home."

It wasn't a question at all, and she wasn't given a chance to refuse.

However, Su Yan didn't want to refuse.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time with Jiang Ran.

It's unclear whether it's because Jiang Ran possesses a fragment of his own god.

She found it easy to accept Jiang Ran, and she didn't even feel disgusted by his touch or words.

These past few days, I've been interacting and spending time with all sorts of people.

Su Yan knew that she liked being with Jiang Ran.

Because of myself, I don't dislike him.

As they left the school, there were hardly any people left at the school gate because they had left relatively late.

Passing by some cake and ice cream shops, Jiang Ran looked down and asked,

"Want to eat?"

Her gaze swept over, lingering on the ice cream vending machine for a couple more moments. Before she could speak, she heard his lazy tone...

"Boss, I'd like an ice cream."

"Okay, what flavor do you want?"
