Chapter 13 School Prince Huo Ran
"Your name is...Xu Ruchu?"
Just as she finished wondering, a refreshing voice came from behind her, bringing her back to her senses.
She turned her head and looked at Huo Ran, a faint polite smile on her face.
"Um."
Huo Ran was wearing a baseball uniform and a backwards cap, looking very sunny and handsome. He exuded a youthful vitality that made the girls passing by unable to help but take a few more glances at him.
"Then I'll follow Ran Ran and call you Xiaochu, and you can just call me A'ran." Huo Ran looked to the other side and said to her, "Let's go sit over there."
"Okay." Xu Ruochu nodded and walked to a table with him.
"What would you like to drink?" Huo Ran asked as soon as he sat down.
She shook her head. "Don't bother. Wait until they arrive and order more drinks according to everyone's preferences."
As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang suddenly.
As soon as the call was connected, the person on the other end said hurriedly, "Xiaochu, Xiaomo and I decided to get a beauty treatment. You and my childhood friend should have a good meal over there! Afterwards, go play with him instead of me. A SPA treatment here will take a long time!"
"Ah?" Xu Ruochu was stunned when he heard this, "You guys are not coming..."
"Okay! Please play with him first, and then apologize to him for me and tell him that I can't make it today. I'll contact you after we get the makeover. Bye!"
The person on the other end of the line hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Ruchu to react.
Xu Ruochu: “…”
She looked up at the boy opposite her and saw that he was looking at her with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Ran Ran and the others couldn't come because of something, so they asked me to help take you out to play around the area... She didn't mean to break the appointment, I hope you don't mind." She explained.
"How could that be? They are girls, they all like shopping, that's understandable." Huo Ran's tone clearly showed that he didn't care at all about being stood up by his good friend.
"Since you have nothing to do, come with me. I'll take you to a place that many young people like to go."
"...Where is it?" Xu Ruochu couldn't help but feel curious.
Huo Ran curled his lips slightly, keeping it a secret, and said with a smile: "Secret! Come on, let's eat first, and then we'll go over."
…
In a corner of the commercial street, two girls stuck their heads out and looked at a man and a woman in the restaurant.
"Ran, you're so smart! The best way to make Xiaochu forget someone she deeply loves is to quickly let an outstanding man enter her world~"
Xia Xiaomo couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, you mentioned this matter before. I understood what you meant and was able to cooperate with you immediately..."
"Of course, I'm smart! This is the perfect candidate that suddenly came to my mind while I was helping her find a house. And Huo Ran is my cousin, so his character is absolutely fine. What's more important is that he doesn't have a girlfriend, so he readily agreed to help me."
Ran Ran looked very confident.
But there was one thing that puzzled her. When she first approached her cousin, he refused to help, but suddenly he was willing to help and asked her to connect with Xiaochu as soon as possible.
She really couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it.
"But...what if one of them falls in love with the other?" Xia Xiaomo said worriedly.
"I've thought about this. If my cousin falls in love, it depends on Xiaochu's wishes and I will respect her. If Xiaochu disagrees, I will help her cut off her feelings. If Xiaochu falls in love, I will quickly ask my uncle and aunt to let them have a wedding. We can't delay our friend who has been hurt by love for a single moment!"
"Hmm~ That's a good arrangement! But..." Xia Xiaomo gave a thumbs up, and then immediately expressed her own judgment: "I think Xiaochu might not fall in love with your cousin."
"Why?"
"Because...Xiaochu's heart is very kind and won't be easily moved by others." Xia Xiaomo said firmly.
Ran Ran frowned and thought carefully, it seemed to be true...
"But...if my cousin can make her happy, that's my best goal! We can talk about love later~"
"Yes! That makes sense~"
The two noticed that their friend had been feeling distracted and overly sad due to relationship problems recently, so their first priority was to cheer her up!
Afterwards, they tacitly left the area, giving Huo Ran and Xu Ruchu a chance to be alone.
…
After coming out of the restaurant, Xu Ruochu was taken to the next city by Huo Ran.
There is the most beautiful sea there.
When we arrived at our destination, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
"Why did you bring me to the beach?" She asked in confusion as she stood on the beach, enjoying the salty sea breeze.
The waves rolled onto the shore, hitting the beach, rolling up countless yellow sands and rushing towards her face.
Her cheeks suddenly felt wet, which was very comfortable and relaxing.
"I heard you like the sea, lakes, and streams. It seems a lot of young people like that, so I brought you here."
"Thank you. I was trying to be a good host, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative."
Xu Ruochu lowered his head embarrassedly.
Huo Ran had paid for the meal in advance. She had thought she would pay him when she went out to play at the amusement park or other attractions, but unexpectedly, he brought her to this place where she could enjoy her favorite sea view without spending any money.
Huo Ran looked at her with a smile, then took off his coat and put it on her.
"It's a cool night, wear my clothes."
"Ah? How can this be possible?" Xu Ruchu quickly declined, "Don't catch a cold."
"It's okay. I exercise regularly and have a very good physique. This little bit of wind won't affect me."
Huo Ran stared at her with a pair of dark eyes, his gaze burning.
"Hey, look! Isn't that our school's most handsome boy, Huo Ran?"
"Yeah~ Who's that girl next to him? She looks so pretty from the side! But, our top school hunk, who's both talented and handsome, is notoriously aloof from women. Several beautiful girls have offered him love letters before, but he's politely rejected them all."
"Don't you know? I heard that he plans to enter the entertainment industry as an idol actor after graduation, so he doesn't want to have any contact with any girls, fearing that it will affect his future career."
"Really? Could this be an excuse? He actually has a girlfriend and doesn't want to make it public..."
"Who knows? Why don't we make a bet? Do he have a secret girlfriend or is he trying to get into the entertainment industry so he doesn't date girls from our school?"
"Okay, let's bet..."
There were a few gossipy girls around, whispering to each other.
Xu Ruochu heard all these discussions. She tried to explain, but the man next to her shook his head, signaling that it was okay. So she gave up and didn't react.
She and Huo Ran continued to stroll forward, admiring the charming sea view.
I soon became immersed in it and completely forgot about many unpleasant things.
What she didn't know was that a man on the shore not far from them also saw this scene.
