Chapter 61
Jin Chuwan lowered her head sullenly, feeling that her gaze was nothing special. However, Ran Xian looked hurt, making her the center of attention for no reason.
At this moment, Luo An also looked curiously at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her. She felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. She frowned and thought for a while, and then suddenly, she realized.
She raised her hand to cover her wide-open mouth, then shook Jin Chuwan beside her.
“He…no, that…that…that…”
Jin Chuwan was so distracted by Luo An that he dreamt he was back in high school.
Because of Jiang Chen, she would occasionally be pulled along like this by her classmates, but since she hadn't experienced it in a long time, she actually felt a strange sense of familiarity.
She glanced at the boy in front of her, unable to understand what was so impressive about him that could have such an impact on Luo An.
Ran Xian was equally curious. He thought he was already being low-key enough, so how could people still discover that he was the young master of the Ran Group?
He stroked his chin, turned his gaze to the girl next to Jin Chuwan, and then tentatively asked.
"What, you know me?"
Luo An blushed slightly. She didn't have many hobbies or friends. She usually just liked to go online and follow celebrities.
She suddenly became nervous when she heard Ran Xian's question.
However, it wasn't the nervousness of meeting a celebrity in person that I felt; it was simply nervousness around a stranger.
"I saw your photo on the forum..."
Luo An's voice was very soft. She felt she couldn't explain it clearly, so she simply opened the website on her phone, found the post, and handed it to Jin Chuwan.
Jin Chuwan looked through Luo An's phone for a while, and then she also showed a shocked expression.
Today was the first day she realized that Tsinghua University had such a forum. It had all sorts of things: people showing off their partners, people looking for partners, people setting out birthday celebrations with bowls, and even selling used stainless steel basins.
Seeing that she was browsing other things, Luo An took the document back, pressed a couple of buttons, and redirected her to a forum subsite called Campus Popularity Ranking.
It was full of handsome men, beautiful women, top students, and geniuses. Jin Chuwan opened the post about Ran Xian.
There are several side profile photos of Ran Xian inside, along with his name, age, zodiac sign, major, entrance exam scores, and so on.
A complete character profile.
Jin Chuwan was shocked again. She subconsciously looked up at Ran Xian, who seemed not to understand what had happened and was looking at her with a silly expression.
She lowered her head again and continued browsing the posts. Judging from the popularity, Ran Xian seemed to be a campus heartthrob at T University. However, there was another post above his that was even more popular.
—The title is "じ☆ve坠込仒涧啲áиɡΣじ，魊薍亽ベ，壹苼蓶γì".
Upon seeing the Martian language she hadn't seen in years, Jin Chuwan couldn't help but chuckle softly, but after opening it, she couldn't laugh anymore.
It's Li Xing'en inside.
The photos in the post are mostly pictures of students attending classes and learning, and they all appear to be taken with mobile phones, so the photos are not very clear.
The photos of the two have a lot of comments. Some of the comments seem to be from enthusiastic fans, while others seem to be from high school students who are swearing that they will study hard and can't wait to come to T University to pursue their love.
After Jin Chuwan had learned the details, she hesitantly handed the phone to the person on the other end.
She watched Ran Xian's beautiful eyes go from confusion to bewilderment, and from bewilderment to astonishment. When he put down his phone, his face was already somewhat pale. He leaned back in his chair, then put his leg on his knee and tapped the table with his fingers.
Jin Chuwan thought he was unhappy about being secretly photographed and having the photos uploaded, and was about to comfort him when she heard Ran Xian click his tongue and then look at her with a serious expression.
"Is Li Xingen really that handsome? Why is his post ahead of mine?"
The boy slightly raised his chin, his eyes, which were exactly like Ran Min's, were slightly narrowed. However, unlike Ran Min's delicate and bright appearance, his brows revealed a sense of arrogance and heroism.
Kim Chu-wan remained silent.
She swallowed back the words of comfort she was about to say, and then suddenly raised her hand and stopped at her brow.
"Um, Ran Xian, I'm still a bit tired, so I'll go back with my friends first."
As Jin Chuwan spoke, she pulled Luo An to his feet, not wanting to argue with Ran Xian about the trivial order of events. However, Ran Xian felt that Jin Chuwan's refusal to answer was essentially a sign of favoritism towards Li Xing'en. But since her face was indeed pale, he didn't say anything, simply picking up his medicine and standing up as well.
Perhaps his stress response hadn't fully recovered, so Ran Xian couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't you going home? I can take you there first."
Jin Chuwan turned to look at Ran Xian. The young man's brows were slightly furrowed as if he was struggling with something. She thought he was probably just asking casually, so she shook her head.
"No need, I'll go back by myself later. You can explain to Ranmin for me."
Ran Xian pursed his lips, feeling a complex mix of emotions—the frustration of trying to curry favor only to be rejected. However, he didn't dwell on it too much. He simply told Jin Chuwan about the timing and dosage of the medication, then waved and left.
Luo An secretly glanced back at Ran Xian. Although, the fact that the school heartthrob was actually good friends with her best friend felt a bit unreal.
After they left, the students who had been eating together in the cafeteria started talking about it.
Jin Chuwan, who is usually low-key and quiet, recognized Ran Xian and was curious that he knew such a prominent figure among the freshmen. Those who did not know Ran Xian were guessing about his background.
"Judging from all his designer clothes, he's probably a rich kid..."
The remaining people were also speculating about the relationship between the two.
"Are they friends? They seem to have a good relationship."
--
Jin Chuwan had no idea that in just over ten minutes, she had become one of the topics of conversation among her classmates.
However heated these discussions may be, they will never be so tasteless as to appear before her eyes.
She accompanied Luo An back to the dormitory, and then took out the medicine that Ran Xian had given her. Most of them were for colds and inflammation, but there were also some calming and brain-boosting medicines mixed in. Jin Chuwan opened the calming supplement and shared it with Luo An in half.
"Your friend bought this for you, is it appropriate for me to receive it?"
Jin Chuwan couldn't say that she and Ran Xian were business partners or had a mutually beneficial relationship. She looked at the hesitant Luo An and smiled reassuringly.
"Its main function is to help with sleep and calm the nerves, but I sleep very well, so even if I bring it back, it'll probably just sit there and not be of much use. But you... I could tell from the first day I met you, do you often stay up late...?"
Upon hearing Jin Chuwan's words, Luo An quickly picked up a mirror and looked at his face.
really……
She should go to bed earlier from now on.
Luo An chuckled awkwardly, then openly participated in the division of the spoils.
For the rest of the time, Jin Chuwan lay on Luo An's bed reading, while Luo An continued to work on his homework. They agreed to fix the air conditioner at six o'clock, and Jin Chuwan said goodbye to Luo An when it was almost time.
Luo An originally wanted to take her, but Jin Chuwan refused because she hadn't finished her homework.
The sun was still scorching hot outside.
Around three o'clock, it rained outside for about five minutes. It stopped before the dark clouds even had a chance to gather. Now there isn't a single water stain on the road. You can only feel a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere.
Jin Chuwan waited at the bus stop for a while. When the bus arrived, she looked at the crowded interior and finally decided to walk back.
It was only about a fifteen-minute walk, but when Jin Chuwan arrived at the neighborhood, her face was flushed.
She hoped to meet the repairman as soon as she got home, but unfortunately, she received an apologetic call from her boss just as she was about to go upstairs.
"The repairman slipped and fell while working, so he definitely can't make it today. Could you wait until tomorrow and we can send someone else?"
Kim Cho-wan was disappointed, but she still agreed to her boss's suggestion.
It seems like this is the only way for now.
She walked heavily upstairs and then took out her keys from her bag.
The clanging of metal against metal produced a sharp, crackling sound, which also startled the boy who was crouching by the door.
He looked up, his eyes somewhat dazed.
At the same time, Kim Cho-wan also noticed the people at the door.
She paused, the boy's face was unnaturally pale, his bangs were soaked with sweat, and even his eyes were misty and confused.
Jin Chuwan was stunned. The Li Xing'en she knew was always calm and composed, as if there was nothing he couldn't handle. But now he was squatting helplessly against her door, his body stiff, as if he had been in this position for a long time.
Jin Chuwan quickened her pace, squatted down next to Li Xing'en, and asked anxiously.
"Xing En, what's wrong?"
Li Xingen did not answer. He raised his eyelids, his gray eyes showing no emotion, his gaze indifferent as if he were looking at a stranger.
Jin Chuwan hesitated. She opened her mouth, about to say something, when she was suddenly pulled into an embrace by a force too strong for her to resist.
As their bodies intertwined, Jin Chuwan felt the other person rest their head on her neck, and soon, a burst of hot, moist breath sprayed onto her skin.
The air grew increasingly stifling, and the combined heat of the two made Jin Chuwan feel suffocated. He held her tightly, and she couldn't understand how he could still have such strength when he looked so weak.
"Li Xing'en, let me go..."
Kim Cho-wan called his name, but was only held tighter.
She felt a slight itch on her neck, as if something soft was touching her almost imperceptibly.
"I won't let go."
Li Xingen's voice was low and weak, but extremely stubborn.
Kim Chuwan was getting a little anxious.
She frowned: "Enough, Li Xing'en, wake up!"
The person holding her didn't react at all. If it weren't for the strength in their arms, Jin Chuwan would have suspected that Li Xing'en had passed out.
The temperature enveloping her body was rising higher and higher, and even Jin Chuwan felt a little dizzy in that heat.
She was both angry and anxious, but she couldn't break free at all. Her body was restrained, and all she could see was the boy's fair neck. For some reason, she lowered her head and bit down on Li Xing'en's neck and shoulder.
At first, she was just threatening and testing, so she didn't bite too hard, and it only caused slight pain. She thought Li Xing'en would let go of her, but instead she heard a low laugh.
It's very light, yet very clear.
The laughter provoked Jin Chuwan, and she lowered her head again, this time biting down hard and deeply.
She heard the boy groan, and she knew he was finally in pain. But the groan quickly disappeared, and she felt him tilt his head back and then give her a light kiss on the ear, as if to encourage her.
Jin Chuwan froze. Amid the chaos, she heard the other person chuckle briefly.
"Auntie, you bit me so hard, should I... bite back?"
