If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

The two people on either side were preoccupied with their own thoughts, and Qi Nan, caught in the middle, vaguely felt a strange chill.

It seems the weather has indeed entered late autumn; I'll need to wear an extra layer when I get back.

Until the bell rang.

Qi Nan got up and went to the restroom. On the way, he ran into Ye Anran, who was acting suspiciously in the corridor.

What are you doing?

Upon hearing this, Ye Anran turned her head and saw Qi Nan standing in front of her.

"Of course I'm here to see Ning Qi."

"Looking for her? Is there something you need? I can pass on the message for you."

Ye Anran clicked her tongue, "I kept messaging her last night to ask her to have lunch outside the school gate, but she didn't reply to a single message."

"That means she probably doesn't want to go."

"Why don't I want to go? I finally mustered up the courage to befriend her..."

Qi Nan leaned against the armrest. "Your behavior yesterday was like that of a pervert. Even I would be scared if it were me."

"He just likes pretty girls, is that wrong?" Ye Anran pretended to wipe away tears and put on a sad look. "He gave his heart and was treated like this. How could she be so heartless?"

The little girl is quite dramatic.

Qi Nan shrugged. "If you don't have anything else, I'll be going now."

"No, you can't leave."

Ye Anran held onto Qi Nan tightly, "I have a few more questions to ask you."

The girl was petite, and it would have been easy for Qi Nan to break free, but he didn't do it.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and ask, class is about to start."

The two were behaving somewhat intimately, attracting curious glances from many passing students.

"Isn't that Qi Nan? I didn't expect him to know School Beauty Ye. He's got such enviable luck with women."

"That's right. And during class just now, Lin Xiaoxiao actually sat next to him on her own initiative. Plus, Xia Ningqi was there too. His luck with women is truly unbeatable."

"Sigh, what can you do when someone is rich? Some people are born in Rome, while others are born like cattle."

...

"First, the first question," Ye Anran said, hands on her hips, "what exactly is your relationship with Xia Ningqi?"

"We're just ordinary classmates."

"Really? Then why are you so close to her?"

"I have no comment on that."

Ye Anran grinned, "Why?"

"Because it's too complicated to explain, and didn't you realize she actually dislikes me?"

"I really didn't notice that."

Ye Anran then added, "However, if you have feelings for her, then you are my enemy!"

"Don't worry about that, I have no romantic feelings for her."

"I don't believe it!"

Why?

Qi Nan looked puzzled, but the next second he saw Ye Anran grinning foolishly, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, "Because Xia is so beautiful, with long eyelashes and thin red lips, even I can't resist, let alone a stinky man like you."

Qi Nan covered his face.

"Could you please pay a little attention to your appearance..."

Ye Anran wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth. "Anyway, I don't care, but I still advise you not to go against me, or my Ye family's methods will make you die a very ugly death!"

Ye family?

Qi Nan recalled the plot of the book, which seemed to mention that the Ye family was also a wealthy family, even more powerful and influential than his own. In short, they were a force to be reckoned with.

However, in the original book, Ye Anran's ending doesn't seem to be very good either.

She was married off to a man she didn't like through an arranged marriage, and then ran away on her wedding day. Apparently, she was hit and killed by a passing truck while running too fast.

In the original book, Ye Anran was Xia Ningqi's friend, but Xia Ningqi only met her after being taken back to the wealthy family. Furthermore, she wasn't described as as twisted as she is now in the book. So, it's because she changed the plot's direction...

"Hey! Are you even listening to me?"

Because Qi Nan was a head and a shoulder taller than her, Ye Anran could only jump around to question him.

Like a desperate rabbit.

Qi Nan snapped out of his daze, nodded, and said slyly, "I understand. Not only will I not go against you, but I might even be able to help you."

"Help?"

"Yes, I'll help you become friends with Xia Ningqi, and then... hehe... it's up to you..."

The girl blinked.

"What is your purpose in helping me like this?"

"Because I usually like to look at white lotus flowers, especially the anime works of a Japanese company called Hōbunsha, I savor every single one of them."

"Huh..."

Ye Anran took a step back, her expression one of disgust. "You're a grown man, and you have this kind of fetish?"

"Anyone has the right to criticize me, but you are not. No matter what, my sexual orientation is at least normal."

Ye Anran crossed her arms and tilted her head back, saying, "I'm normal too."

"hehe."

Qi Nan didn't waste any words and took out his phone. "Let's add each other on WeChat first. Class is about to start, and I don't have time to chat with you here."

Although Ye Anran was still very suspicious of Qi Nan's motives, she eventually added his contact information.

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

Qi Nan turned around. "Lying to you is like taking birth control pills in Nantong—completely pointless."

What a strange person.

Ye Anran thought she was strange enough, but it turned out that this boy named Qi Nan was also a bit abnormal.
