Su Yan was held tightly in her arms, and she could hear her heart beating faster again.

She raised her hand and slowly grasped the hem of his clothes, letting him hold her close.

After a while.

Jiang Ran was still holding her.

Su Yan gently pushed him, her voice soft.

"Jiang Ran?"

He only let go when he heard the voice, probably because he heard Su Yan agree.

Jiang Ran regained all the rationality and emotions she had lost.

He looked at the lawn and raised his eyebrows.

"Why are you here instead of going to eat?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and maliciously tugged at the bow tie on Su Yan's collar.

The black bow was already a bit crooked.

His actions caused the bow to become even more crooked.

She answered honestly.

"I lost my earring."

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow

"Is it important?"

"A little"

As the two were talking, Yuan Xinlin's voice came from the side.

"Su Yan"

A gentle male voice.

Su Yan looked up, and before she could speak, she felt her shoulder being gripped tightly.

She turned her head to look.

Jiang Ran, who had just been smiling and languid, suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking lazy yet inexplicably dangerous.

She instinctively reached out and took his hand.

Her voice was soft and tinged with doubt.

"Jiang Ran?"

Upon hearing the call, someone lowered their eyes, concealing their displeasure.

Yuan Xinlin also saw Jiang Ran.

Moreover, seeing Su Yan and Jiang Ran's ambiguous posture, he couldn't help but clench the test paper in his hand.

He didn't approach, but stood on the gravel path outside the lawn, smiling as he spoke.

"Su Yan, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Su Yan's attention was somewhat preoccupied with Xiao Hua, and besides... she didn't like explaining problems to others.

So much so that he spoke seriously.

"You can ask your chemistry teacher."

Yuan Xinlin was probably surprised that Su Yan would reject him, so he was taken aback.

Then, he glanced at Jiang Ran standing next to Su Yan, a clear understanding flashing in his eyes.

A scoundrel like Jiang Ran, who does all sorts of evil and causes trouble, would probably scare a well-behaved girl like Su Yan.

Yuan Xinlin frowned, staring directly at Su Yan, and spoke.

"You don't need to be afraid of anyone."

Su Yan nodded in agreement.

"I know."

She wasn't afraid of anyone to begin with.

Yuan Xinlin followed up,

"Su Yan, come with me, the chemistry teacher wants to see you."

His tone was confident.

Jiang Ran chuckled and laughed out loud while leaning against Su Yan.

Does this mean they see him as a biting beast?

Bringing out the teacher, this is such a precautionary tactic.

It made him very unhappy.

Su Yan also frowned slightly.

Jiang Ran looked down and took in her expression.

He leaned closer and made a sound.

"I don't understand why the teacher called on you at this time?"

You know?

He's lying to you.

"Why?"

"This classmate sees me as a monster and is afraid I'll bully you."

The two of them were talking intimately.

Yuan Xinlin gripped the test paper even tighter.

"Su Yan!"

He spoke with a hint of anger.

Jiang Ran lifted her eyelids, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes.

"Hey, get lost."

His tone was languid, and his thin lips revealed his thoughts.

Yuan Xinlin's face stiffened.

"you!"

He felt insulted, but dared not actually confront Jiang Ran.

Su Yan looked at the two people and finally asked Yuan Xinlin.

Is there anything else?

Yuan Xinlin took a deep breath.

"Yes, I'd like to talk to you alone."

Su Yan blinked, feeling puzzled.

What is there for them to say to each other?

They hadn't spoken more than a few times.
