Since he can't be Ranran's boyfriend for the time being, he will be the first man to appear in her heart. He, Lu Yi, is not one to be subservient to others!
Ye Ran pursed her lips with some difficulty and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi's alluring peach blossom eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth uncontrollably curved upwards. "Great, Ranran, then it's settled. I'm confident that you'll eventually turn around for me!"
Looking at the confident Lu Yi, Ye Ran really wanted to put him down—it was all still uncertain!—but looking into Lu Yi's bright eyes, she swallowed the words that were about to spill out and awkwardly turned her head away.
"By the way, you... how did you suddenly come up with this idea? We didn't... didn't we have any interaction before?"
"That's just what you think. We've crossed paths quite a bit... Do you remember the first time we met?"
Ye Ran paused for a moment, then thought back carefully. "Was it... was it when you were first sent to the countryside as an educated youth? I remember I was the one who picked you up that day."
Seeing that she remembered, Lu Yi was clearly in a good mood. "Yes! I remembered you back then. In the other villages, it was the elderly men and women who came to pick us up, but Liuye Village sent a young girl like you."
“There was no other way that day. Uncle Niu was supposed to pick you up, but he twisted his back as soon as we got into town. His companions wanted to take him to the hospital, and I happened to run into him on my way home from school, so they asked me to come and help out…”
"That's a wonderful misunderstanding. You don't know, on the way here, there was a guy who kept complaining about the countryside and talking nonsense about how uncouth the girls in the countryside were."
He kept putting you down to praise those female educated youths, and I couldn't stand it, so I said a few things, and he said a few things back. But the moment he got off the bus and saw you, that male educated youth looked like he'd been slapped hard, his face turning red and his mouth shut. At that moment, I felt just so relieved.
Ye Ran was somewhat taken aback. Such a thing? "Who is it? So naive! There are plenty of pretty girls in the countryside!"
Lu Yi seemed to have thought of something, and smiled slightly, "Isn't she just one of us high and mighty educated youth from Yu Xue? But it's true, country girls are down-to-earth and they're all pretty, especially the one in front of me..."
Ye Ran blushed, "You're really something... why are you suddenly saying such strange things! You can't do that anymore!"
Since they opened up to each other, Lu Yi seemed to have broken some kind of seal, and he launched a full-scale attack on Ye Ran without any restraint.
"It's true! When we got out of the car, everything looked dark and foggy, a gray expanse where you seemed to be the only bright spot..."
Ye Ran stammered, "Is...is that so?"
"Yes! Looking back now, I felt something special about you from the first time we met. Later, you saved my grandmother, and through so many of our casual encounters..."
My feelings for you have changed unconsciously; I've started paying attention to you without even realizing it... and my feelings for you are growing deeper and deeper..."
Ye Ran simply couldn't listen anymore; her face was so red it could be used to make a jianbing (Chinese crepe)!
Lu Yi, however, was still not done, and delivered a knowing blow to Ye Ran, saying, "If I had known back then that I would like you this much now, I would have definitely tried to make a good impression on you from the very first time we met..."
Ye Ran was somewhat captivated; this... who could resist this...
