The lights were dim, and the rain gently drizzled on the car window, as if it was outlining a passionate love story.
The car, which was clearly cool, suddenly became hot.
Ye Qingran felt that she was about to sink into Chu Yan’s deep eyes, and her heart was beating faster and faster.
She blinked to calm herself down and said in a low voice, “Thank… you…”
At that moment, her phone started ringing, easing the anxious atmosphere.
Chu Yan retreated and watched the movie playing on the screen. His expression was no different from usual, but his ears were slightly red.
Ye Qingran looked at the caller ID. It was Lin Shu’er.
She picked up the call and Lin Shu’er’s anxious voice came through. “Qingran, will you be home tonight?”
Ye Qingran said, “I won’t be home tonight. Did dad ask you to urge me again?”
Lin Shu’er said, “Don’t be angry with your dad. He’s just concerned about you.”
Ye Qingran said, “It’s my birthday today. I’ll be celebrating with my friends tonight. Tell him that I’ll be home tomorrow.”
Lin Shu’er wanted to say something else, but she paused for a moment and casually said a few more words. In the end, she did not say anything and ended the conversation with Ye Qingran.
Ye Qingran also knew what Lin Shu’er was worried about.
However, it was useless to worry.
Ye Jun would find out sooner or later that she was a woman.
Rather than thinking about how to hide it, it was better to confess directly.
It was not like Ye Jun did not have a son.
He already had three sons. Was it really so important whether or not the fourth was a son?
Instead of being worried whether Ye Jun would be angry if he found out she was not a son.
It would be better to worry about how she would coax Ye Jun after he found out she lied to him this entire time.
Ye Qingran looked at Chu Yan who was beside her and said with a smile, “It’s still my mother. She specially called to tell me that a relationship between two men may not be true love, while a relationship between a man and a woman is not just to carry on the family line.”
Chu Yan glanced at her and did not say anything. However, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he looked very happy.
The two of them were very close to each other. He could vaguely hear their conversation on the phone, and those sentences were not spoken at all.
Mischievous child.
Ye Qingran looked toward the screen. At this time, it was a scene of the male lead bathing with his upper body exposed.
In this romantic movie, the male lead did not only have good looks, but also a great figure, especially his perfect abdominal muscles. His muscles looked firm and well-defined, making him look sexy.
She mumbled, “His figure is really good.”
Chu Yan looked at her and replied slowly, “He drew it.”
Ye Qingran smiled. “How do you know? Do you have them?”
Chu Yan said, “Mine are passable.”
Ye Qingran said, “Oh… can I touch it?”
Chu Yan seemed to want to nod, but he rejected her in the end. “Not now.”
Ye Qingran snorted. “Stingy.”
Actually, she was just saying that. She did not really want to touch it.
She was afraid that if she accidentally touched that, it would be bad.
When they arrived at the theater, the movie was already halfway through.
Watching from the middle, it was a little hard to figure out the plot, so Ye Qingran search the internet for the plot. She watched the movie with Chu Yan while telling him about the previous content.
An hour passed, and the movie was over.
Because it was raining tonight, there would probably be strong winds later, so this was the only movie that was showing in the drive-in theater.
When the two of them reached home, it was already late.
“Brother, today must have been tiring for you. Take a shower and go to bed early.”
“You’re going back to the Ye Residence?”
“It’s raining. I’m not going back today. I’ll go back tomorrow.”
Chu Yan raised his hand and gently stroked her hair. “Good night.”
He walked past her and entered the house.
Ye Qingran watched his figure disappear from her sight before saying, “Good night.”
She returned to the bedroom and sent a message to Chu Yan. [ Thank you, brother. This is the happiest birthday I’ve ever had. ]
Ever since she could remember, her birthday had always been grand. It was so grand that it did not feel like a birthday, but more like doing business.
And every year on her birthday, the elders would test what she had learned in the past year.
It was even more depressing than the college entrance exams that high school students faced. It really made people unhappy.
Only this year, this birthday was just a simple birthday. She had a meal with a few friends and watched a movie. This was the kind of simple and warm birthday that she had dreamed of.
Chu Yan quickly replied: [ Next year’s birthday will be even happier than this year’s. ]
Ye Qingran replied with a starry-eyed emoji, indicating that she was looking forward to it.
After sending the message with Chu Yan, she started replying to WeChat messages.
They were all messages from everyone wishing her a happy birthday.
The original body’s first girlfriend, Chi Xun, also sent a message saying that she had already returned to China today, but it was very late. So she was going to invite Ye Qingran for dinner tomorrow.
Ye Qingran:”…”
She was hesitating about whether or not she should go and meet her first girlfriend.
Chi Xun was a straight-A student with an IQ of 180. She was smart, but had a poor constitution. She was diagnosed with congenital heart disease.
Ye Qingran and her were junior high school classmates.
Once when Chi Xun had an illness, the original owner sent her to the hospital.
After that, the two of them became friends. Later on, she directly considered herself as a girlfriend.
The two of them had a very good relationship.
Out of all her previous girlfriends, the original owner had the best relationship with her and knew her for the longest time. Hence, she knew the original owner the best.
But, she was not the original owner right now. She could fool most people.
But with Chi Xun’s intelligence, and with her understanding of the original owner, it would not be difficult to tell that she was not the original owner.
However, she couldn’t not meet her.
It drizzled for a whole night and the temperature dropped. She needed to put on a thin coat when she went out.
Early in the morning, Ye Qingran received a call from Chi Xun, asking her about today’s plans, where to eat, etc.
Chi Xun said that she had not gone out to eat for a long time and especially wanted to eat something spicy, but it could not be too spicy, and she just wanted to eat hot pot.
At the end of the call, she even said that hot pot was well paired with rainy days.
Chi Xun, who was not in good health, had a very strict diet.
The original owner pampered Chi Xun very much. When she heard Chi Xun say that, she would definitely arrange everything. Ye Qingran learned from her and arranged everything. She would go to the appointment when it was almost time.
The moment she got off the car, she saw a girl standing outside. Her long black hair hung down to her waist, and she was looking around at the entrance of the restaurant.
Her face was pale, and her body was thin. Her petite body made it as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
It was Chi Xun.
She was already nineteen years old, but due to her poor health and delicate face, it made her look like a 15 or 16-year-old Loli.
The moment she saw ye Qingran, Chi Xun’s eyes instantly lit up. She immediately waved at Ye Qingran. “Ran-ran.”
Ye Qingran took a deep breath and walked over with a smile. Before she could put away her umbrella, Chi Xun hugged her arm. “Ran-ran, I missed you so much.”
Caught off guard, Ye Qingran’s body stiffened subconsciously as she was hugged by a girl that she was very unfamiliar with.
However, Chi Xun did not notice anything amiss.
She held her hand and walked towards the restaurant.
