Ye Qingran nodded with a smile then began to kiss up to him. “I have to say, you’re the best tutor I’ve ever seen. Being taught by you for an hour is more efficient than being taught by a teacher for a year. It really opened the door to a new world for me.”

Chu Yan interrupted her with a deep voice, “You can go out now.”
Ye Qingran’s lips curled into a smile.
She kept her textbooks and held them in her arms. As she walked out, she teased, “Fine, fine, fine. I won’t say anymore to make you feel bashful.”
Chu Yan: “…”
Looking at the closed door, he rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
Bashful?
It was obviously irritation from the noisiness!
When Ye Qingran was getting tutored, she didn’t bring her phone with her.
When she returned to the bedroom and looked at her phone, she saw that it was a bunch of messages from those scoundrel friends. It was different from the past, when she was asked to go out to play. Today, this bunch of scoundrels were all asking about her bet with Hua Chi.
In addition, there was a Wechat account with the name “No. 3” that sent her a few messages.
[ No. 3: Your dad asked me to send you something. ]
[ No. 3: Where are you? Aren’t you staying at school? ]
[ No. 3: 30 minutes. If you don’t show up, I’ll tell your dad. ]
The original character was distant and cold towards her three half-brothers. Her feelings for them were as thin as thin ice.
She never called them “brother”.
No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 represented the nicknames she gave them on Wechat.
No. 3 was Ye Qingran’s nickname for her third brother, Ye Chenfeng.
Unlike the original character, who in order to hide her identity, was a no-gooder, underachiever, and incompetent, her third brother was an excellent scholar.
The original character was often compared to Ye Chenfeng by Ye Jun.
Therefore, among the few brothers, the original character hated her third brother, Ye Chenfeng, the most.
However, after the original character’s identity as a girl was exposed, and she offended a few male protagonists, Ye Chenfeng begged the female protagonist for her sake.
In the end, the male protagonists misunderstood that he wanted to peek on the female protagonist, so his legs were broken.
Ye Qingran replied to Ye Chenfeng with a message: [ Sorry, I didn’t see the message. Wait a moment, I’m on my way back to school. ]
After replying to Ye Chenfeng, she called the original character’s mother again.
The call was still disconnected.
She seriously suspected that her number had been blacklisted by the original character’s mother. Otherwise, how could she have been unable to contact her?
The original novel didn’t mention that she couldn’t contact her. Could it be that there were other ways to contact her?
Ye Qingran went downstairs and saw that Chu Yan was about to leave as well.
“Are you going out?” She could hitch a ride.
Chu Yan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her. He asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”
Ye Qingran said very earnestly and sincerely, “It’s like this. My third brother is looking for me for something. He’s waiting for me at school. Can you give me a ride?”
“It’s not the same way.”
Chu Yan rejected her without even thinking.
He left after saying those words and went out on his own.
Ye Qingran: “…”
He was so cold and heartless.
Forget it. It was fine if he didn’t bring her along. Chu Yan’s good looks were still so her type.
As someone who was obsessed with facial attractiveness, she was especially tolerant of handsome people.
Ye Qingran pushed the door open and found Chu Yan sitting in the car. The car had already started, but he didn’t leave.
Oh, he was waiting for her.
It seemed that he wasn’t so cold and heartless.
He was just sharp-tongued.
Ye Qingran smiled and quickly rushed over. She opened the passenger seat door and sat inside. As she fastened her seat-belt, she thanked him with a smile.
Chu Yan ignored her and drove away.
As the car drove, the car music was set to start automatically, and soft music sounded.
A graceful and melodious female voice flowed out, and it sounded heavenly.
Ye Qingran glanced at the screen and realized that the row of songs on the screen were all sent from the same singer.
This singer’s name was Jiang Ling, and she was a capable female idol singer. She mainly sang songs of youth, and her singing voice had a natural and pleasant sound. Listening to it made one think of high mountain waterfalls and gurgling streams.
The original character liked Jiang Ling very much and regarded her as her idol.
She liked her songs, which were either as brilliant as summer flowers or as beautiful as autumn leaves. They were all reminiscent different types of beautiful youth.
“You also like Jiang Ling’s songs?” Ye Qingran was very surprised. Chu Yan actually liked the music of the same person as the original character.
“What a coincidence. I also like her songs.” The original character liked them, so it could also be considered that she liked it.
“Which song do you like the most?” Perhaps it wasn’t the song, but the singer who he liked.
Ye Qingran asked three times, but Chu Yan didn’t reply her.
Ye Qingran: “…”
She felt as if there was a leaf blowing in a circle in front of her, and it made the scene a little awkward.

She glanced at the picture of Jiang Ling on the screen.
She was elegant, beautiful, gentle, and quiet, like a fairy who had fallen from the mortal world.
Suddenly, there was a possibility that swept through Ye Qingran’s mind.
With Chu Yan’s personality, he wouldn’t chase after celebrities.
Could it be that this Jiang Ling was already Chu Yan’s girlfriend?
It was fine to flirt with a handsome guy.
But if this handsome guy was already taken, then she would definitely not lay her hands on him.

“Haha…” To prevent herself from accidentally becoming a b*tch, Ye Qingran laughed twice and then asked, “This Jiang Ling, is she your girlfriend?”
Chu Yan’s hand on the steering wheel paused slightly.
Then, his face darkened.
Ye Qingran thought that she had guessed correctly, and she felt a little disappointed. “Your taste is really good. This Jiang Ling is really beautiful. She also has a kind of classical beauty, as elegant as an orchid…”
It wasn’t easy to meet someone who was so her type. Although he was a fictional character and an NPC, she still felt it was a pity that he was taken care of just like that.

Chu Yan interrupted her, “You’re very noisy.”
Ye Qingran sighed softly and said helplessly, “I can’t even praise your girlfriend?”
Chu Yan’s eyes were dark. “When did I say that she’s my girlfriend?”
This car wasn’t his at all. What did it have to do with him whose song was playing in it? He didn’t even know who Jiang Ling was.

Ye Qingran was surprised. “Huh, she’s actually not?”
Even if she wasn’t his girlfriend, it was still only because he liked her that he had downloaded so many songs.
Chu Yan turned to look at her. “What do you mean by your disappointed expression?”
“Do I look disappointed? I clearly have a happy face.”
“Happy about what?”
“…” Happy that I can continue to tease you.
But if she told the truth, she would probably be thrown out of the car by Chu Yan.
Ye Qingran smiled and said calmly, “I’ve already said that Jiang Ling is my idol and my goddess. She doesn’t have a boyfriend, so of course I have to be happy.”
Chu Yan: “…”
Five minutes after the car drove, it suddenly stopped by the roadside.
A tall figure that looked very carefree walked over with big strides.
He directly opened the door of the passenger seat and suddenly saw Ye Qingran sitting in the driver’s seat. He was extremely surprised and let out an “eh” before opening the door of the backseat and sitting in.

After sitting in the car, his gaze fell on Ye Qingran and he asked curiously, “This is?”
