Chapter 18 Is this why you rejected me?
It turns out that watching handsome guys eat really makes you eat more deliciously.
Although Ye An didn't understand why Lu Zhaoran suddenly stopped eating and pretended to be looking at his phone, not daring to look at her, it might be that she didn't meet his aesthetic standards and he couldn't eat just by looking at her.
It's normal. Although I was handsome in my previous life, I am of the wrong gender in this life after all, so my appearance may not be able to make up for it.
Ye An sighed. In this world, he seemed inferior to others.
Just as he took a piece of paper to wipe his mouth, something unexpected happened.
Lu Zhaoran, the other person, obviously did not include Ji Xingyan, because he watched Ji Xingyan open the door of the box and walk in with a sneer.
Ji Xingyan: "Is this the reason why you rejected me?"
Ye An broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly began to feel a little strange about the decoration of this store. Why was the privacy so poor?
Lu Zhaoran, who was playing with his phone to hide the awkward atmosphere, looked up at this moment and saw Ji Xingyan. He felt inexplicably guilty, but he didn't know why.
Ye An acted very calm, even taking a sip of sparkling water before replying, "What do you mean by refusing or not? Lu Zhaoran and I met because we had something to discuss."
Ji Xingyan laughed again, then took a big step forward and squeezed himself onto the sofa where Ye An was sitting, regardless of whether others minded or not.
"What are you doing!" Ye An was anxious. It was so embarrassing to be hugged and kissed by two alphas in such a short period of time!
Although the decoration of this store is really top-notch, it can't change the fact that this is a single sofa! Not to mention Ji Xingyan is tall and strong, sitting like this will squeeze him directly to the other person's legs.
He was about to stand up and leave, but Ji Xingyan grabbed his shoulders and pushed him down again. So Ye An asked him to sit further away, which made him look even weirder, as if he was sitting on Ji Xingyan.
He really wanted to cry but had no tears.
Lu Zhaoran's left eyelid twitched wildly as he watched the scene in front of him. He didn't know why he felt a little annoyed by the scene in front of him, nor did he realize that his brows were furrowed.
He looked at Ji Xingyan's questioning eyes and actually felt a little rebellious.
What's wrong? Is Ji Xingyan the only one interested in Ye An?
Can't I do it myself?
No, I'm not interested in Ye An!
What’s more, this person obviously liked me before!!!
Lu Zhaoran himself didn't notice that when he looked at the scene in front of him, his right hand clenched into a fist, leaving a deep nail mark in the center of his palm.
But in the end, he just took out the leave application that Ye An gave him from his chest pocket and put it on the table, motioning Ji Xingyan to take a look.
He even sneered secretly, "Do you think I'm the same as you? I really have something important to do."
Ji Xingyan picked it up and looked at it, feeling even more confused. "Is Ye Lan's susceptible period coming?"
"No, then what does this have to do with Eucalyptus? Wait, Eucalyptus..."
Lu Zhaoran looked at Ji Xingyan as if he were an idiot. Usually the other three looked at him in the same way, but now he could finally go back to Yin and Yang.
Ji Xingyan couldn't make sense of it at all, and he started brainstorming.
What's the relationship between Ye An and Ye Lan? Relatives? Brothers? Or something else?
Then why did these two people pretend not to know each other at school, and why did they give the leave note to Lu Zhaoran?
His eyes kept darting back and forth between the two of them, like an anxious husband looking for evidence of his wife's infidelity.
Ye An sighed, still skeptical about Ji Xingyan's intelligence. Lu Zhaoran said nothing more, this is really heartless.
So he could only take another breath and soak in the water, then sighed and said: "The Ye family does not want to admit to the outside world that there is a beta junior."
His tone was desolate and a little aggrieved, making Ji Xingyan wonder if he had spoken too harshly. He even instantly loosened the grip he had on the man's shoulders.
But Lu Zhaoran on the opposite side suddenly widened his eyes.
He was simply doubting his life. Ye An was such a good actor.
Ji Xingyan still had doubts, but he didn't dare to be so aggressive. So he hesitated for a while before speaking: "Then why did Zhao Ran give it to you?"
Ye An lowered his head again, his eyes dimmed by loss. He only whispered, "Ye Lan said he wanted to give it to Lu Zhaoran."
This answer is ambiguous, but thought-provoking.
Ji Xingyan was thinking silently.
What does that mean? Does Ye Lan dislike having a beta brother? Although Li Ai is an aristocratic school, Ye Lan shouldn't be sexist!
He had automatically assumed that Ye An was Ye Lan's beta brother, even though he and Ye Lan had grown up together. However, he would never tell anyone about this family secret.
Not to mention that Ye Lan is a pure straight A cancer in his eyes and may really look down on Beta.
Ji Xingyan felt relieved and unilaterally believed the explanation of his cheating wife.
He simply patted Ye An's shoulders twice to comfort her, and then said, "Ye Lan, it's really unfair to you to do this."
"I'll definitely talk to him when the susceptible period is over."
Ye An said nothing, just kept his head down.
Lu Zhaoran on the opposite side was stunned. He was a true bystander, watching the drama from an absolutely perfect perspective.
He really should give Ye An an award, a best actor-level performance!
And this beta, who was pretending to be pitiful, still had room to use his eyes to signal his cooperation. Even though his words were clearly aggrieved, his eyes glanced at him as if to say, "Dare to expose me, you're dead."
Lu Zhaoran stopped talking and just watched his performance silently. But for some reason, seeing Ye An like this, he actually felt a little excited.
What was the excitement about? He didn't know. Perhaps it was because he was more reliable than Ji Xingyan to Ye An?
Or maybe he knows this little liar better than Ji Xingyan.
The atmosphere between the three of them became tense again, but the ringing of Ye An's cell phone broke the silence.
Beta, who had been depressed just now, stood up instantly when Ji Xingyan wasn't paying attention, and then hurried to the door, muttering as he walked: "It's over, I'm going to be late."
The remaining two then realized that they were also students and were about to follow Ye An to school, but Ye An opened the door and turned back to stop them.
"Both of you should go back to school later. I don't want Ye Lan to misunderstand when she returns to school!"
Upon hearing this, the two of them tacitly picked up the cup and drank water, but Ji Xingyan, whether intentionally or deliberately, drank the cup that Ye An had drunk.
Ji Xingyan finally had time to ask Lu Zhaoran. He smiled, his tone much better than before, "Zhaoran, you don't like Ye An, do you?"
Lu Zhaoran slowly shifted his gaze from the door to Ji Xingyan's face and replied, "How is that possible? Do you think everyone is like you?"
Ji Xingyan scooped some of Ye An's half-eaten cake with a spoon and put it into his mouth while saying, "That couldn't be better."
