Chapter 73
Jin Chuwan had mentally grabbed Jiang Chen by the collar and shaken him back and forth countless times, but in reality, she just nervously stared at Ran Xian.
To be honest, she never imagined that one day she would feel so much pressure under Ran Xian's gaze.
Jin Chuwan looked down at the steaming breakfast. After a struggle with her thoughts, she decided to cheat.
"That's not true, Jiang Chen must have misheard."
After Jin Chuwan finished speaking, Jiang Chen chuckled and glanced at Ran Xian.
Ran Xian didn't react much, only calmly asking, "Did he mishear?"
Jin Chuwan hummed softly as she ate her breakfast.
Having received a definite answer, Ran Xian didn't say anything more, seemingly accepting the answer.
After all, in his view, Jin Chuwan had absolutely no reason to lie to him.
They weren't really a couple, so she didn't need to take any responsibility for him.
Their act was merely a deception of Jiang Chen, their shared goal being to make him give up on her.
Ran Xian stirred the soup spoon twice, but suddenly lost his appetite again, even though he was very hungry just now.
He couldn't help but glance at Kim Cho-wan again.
—Did Jiang Chen really mishear?
Or is it that she now has someone in her life she needs to hide, or someone who cares about her feelings and would rather lie to her?
But he also felt it was impossible.
If it really is true, she should tell herself that, after all, they are in the same boat.
It seemed that only Ran Xian was distracted during the meal.
Jiang Chen remained indifferent throughout. He certainly didn't think he could break up the two with just a few words; he simply wanted to see how their relationship was really going.
It doesn't seem like much now.
Jiang Chen was in a good mood. After dinner, the three of them went back to the campus together. Jiang Chen drove directly to K University, while Jin Chuwan went home with Ran Xian before going to the school.
On the way, she always felt that Ran Xian seemed to have something to say, but whenever she thought he was about to speak, he remained silent. Jin Chuwan pondered for a while, but finally gave up.
Never mind, he'll tell me if something really happens.
Jin Chuwan only had one class in the morning, and after that, she went straight to the library. Because the training camp had caused her to miss some classes, Jin Chuwan planned to spend some time catching up.
Jin Chuwan sat there from 10 a.m. until the afternoon, and by the time she left, her shoulders were very sore.
But she still had a class in the afternoon. Jin Chuwan rubbed her shoulders as she walked from the library to the teaching building. By the time the class ended, her stomach was growling loudly.
Jin Chuwan had planned to have dinner with Luo An at the cafeteria, but as soon as she stood up, she saw Lin Ru looking back and forth at the classroom door.
Then she saw Jin Chuwan, who suddenly smiled and waved at her.
Jin Chuwan was a little confused, but she still walked over to Lin Ru's side.
"Is there...something wrong?"
Although they had met a few times, they didn't seem to have much of a relationship, and she seemed to have a... Just as Jin Chuwan was hesitating, she saw Lin Ru pull out a handmade invitation from her backpack.
"This is for one of our class activities. I thought about it and decided to give you one. If you have time, remember to come!"
After Lin Ru finished speaking, she smiled and turned to run away, leaving Jin Chuwan looking at the invitation letter in confusion.
It's very cute, shaped like a little bear holding a heart. There's no specific content inside, just that we'll meet at 3 PM on Saturday at a certain restaurant on the first floor.
At this moment, Luo An also took the invitation and looked at it. "What's this? Are you going?"
Jin Chuwan shook her head; she didn't like group activities.
Moreover, she and Lin Ru were really not close.
At this moment, Luo An seemed to suddenly think of something. She looked at the invitation letter repeatedly, then smiled with her lips pursed, and patted Jin Chuwan on the shoulder.
"If you don't like it, then don't go. Anyway, I don't think you'd be interested in this kind of activity."
Jin Chuwan didn't pay much attention, but on her way to the cafeteria, she received another call from Li Xing'en.
This time, Kim Cho-wan finally remembered the promise she had made to Lee Sung-eun.
She glanced apologetically at Luo An, who was chatting with Duan Rui at the time. He didn't pay much attention when Jin Chuwan said she was leaving; he just nodded and told her to be careful on the road.
After saying goodbye to her classmates, Jin Chuwan immediately headed towards the school gate. Li Xing'en had said on the phone that he was already waiting outside, but to Jin Chuwan's surprise, she saw two people when she arrived at the school gate.
Ran Xian and Li Xing'en's cars were parked side by side, and both of them were standing in front of the car doors. Jin Chuwan walked slower and slower. She looked at Li Xing'en in surprise, and then looked at Ran Xian.
"Why are you here?"
Ran Xian smiled upon hearing this: "I'm here to pick up my girlfriend, is there a problem?"
Ran Xian's voice was clear and distinct, clearly intended for someone nearby to hear him clearly.
Jin Chuwan walked quickly to Ran Xian's side, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "You came to pick me up, why didn't you tell me?"
Such an intimate gesture caused both of them to change their expressions. Li Xing'en's smile vanished almost instantly, while Ran Xian, who had been expressionless, suddenly broke into a wide smile.
He mimicked Jin Chuwan's confused expression, then bent down slightly and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "I remember Li Xing'en is also one of our targets? Should we take action now?"
Jin Chuwan looked at Ran Xian with a puzzled expression, then glanced at the boy not far away, and asked hesitantly, "What do you want to do?"
Ran Xian smiled, his gaze passing over Jin Chuwan and looking at Li Xing'en opposite him.
His face could only be described as gloomy and cold, but so what?
Ran Xian gently rubbed his chin against Jin Chuwan's forehead, then bent down and left a kiss on her lips.
The kiss was light and brief, but it was enough to freeze Jin Chuwan. She was about to run away, but the next second Ran Xian embraced her waist.
"Don't move or dodge. Li Xing'en is still watching. You don't want me to kiss you for nothing, do you?"
At this moment, Jin Chuwan's face was turning pale and then red. She endured it again and again, but in the end she couldn't help but kick Ran Xian's shin hard.
Her expression softened slightly when she saw the trembling boy who could barely stand.
"If you dare do that again, I'll beat you up again!"
She warned in a low voice, but no one except Ran Xian could hear what she was saying, because Ran Xian blocked her view. In Li Xing'en's sight, they looked like an ordinary couple, chatting and laughing intimately.
As dusk deepened, the boy's figure disappeared into the gray air. His features were somewhat blurred, with only his distinct jawline revealing a cold, stern curve.
The wind picked up in the evening, making Li Xing'en's hair look messy. He walked slowly forward, and at least the smile on his face seemed peaceful.
He looked at Jin Chuwan and said gently.
"No matter what, you already promised to spend the night with me, didn't you?"
