"Brother Jiang is here!"
When the shout went out, many of the boys who ’understood the situation’ quickly craned their heads to look behind Jiang Ran.
In the end, after staring for a long time, besides Jiang Ran, there was no one else.
Some leaned back on the sofa in disappointment.
Whispering in small groups
"I thought Su Yan was coming. What’s the fun in Brother Jiang coming alone?"
"Exactly, we’ve seen him a thousand times. Is Brother Jiang hiding a beauty and doesn’t want us to meet her?"
The soft murmuring stopped the instant Jiang Ran sat down on the sofa.
Gossip is important, but life is even more important.
It doesn’t matter if Su Yan didn’t come, the school beauty is here.
Many good-natured people winked and nudged, making ambiguous hints.
"Brother Jiang, the school beauty is here."
As they spoke, they pointed towards the most central and spotlighted area.
Jiang Ran glanced in that direction, then turned his head to look at Cheng Xingyang, frowning.
"Why is she here?"
Cheng Xingyang raised his hands, with an innocent look.
"Not me."
After saying this, Cheng Xingyang hurriedly changed the subject.
"Where’s Su Yan? Weren’t you supposed to pick her up? How come you still haven’t brought her here?"
Jiang Ran did not speak, just lazily leaned back against the sofa, half his body sinking into the soft cushions.
Just sat there quietly.
Initially, because of Jiang Ran’s arrival, everyone felt a bit tense.
But gradually, seeing that Jiang Ran didn’t say anything and just sat there,
as time passed, the crowd couldn’t care less anymore, choosing songs and starting to sing loudly.
Yao Yufei sat in the middle, unable to stop glancing towards Jiang Ran.
Beside her, Zhao Yue couldn’t help but comment,
"Why didn’t Su Yan come? Could it be because she knew Yufei you were coming and got scared?"
With that, Zhao Yue covered her mouth and started laughing.
Yao Yufei maintained her poised demeanor,
"Alright, stop laughing. It’s just a small matter, no need to be so happy."
Though she spoke like that, it was clear she relaxed a bit.
Zhao Yue showed a teasing expression, nudging Yao Yufei’s arm,
"Just now, I saw Jiang Ran secretly looking at you, you know."
Yao Yufei blushed slightly,
"How do you know he was looking at me?"
As she spoke, Yao Yufei couldn’t help but glance in Jiang Ran’s direction again.
Zhao Yue affirmed,
"There’s no mistake, who else would Jiang Ran look at besides you? But..."
Pausing, she added,
"Yufei, do you want to go over and say hello?"
"Isn’t that... inappropriate?"
"What’s inappropriate? When our school beauty honors someone with her presence, no one’s going to ignore it."
After much pushing and prodding, Yao Yufei finally stood up, holding a drink with a low alcohol content.
She walked over to Jiang Ran, speaking hesitantly,
"Jiang Ran, you’re here."
It’s rare to see the cool school beauty take the initiative to greet someone.
Everyone’s attention was drawn over.
Jiang Ran raised his eyelids, his dark eyes revealing no emotion, still maintaining that lazy look.
"Mm."
A light response, and he stopped speaking.
Yao Yufei stood there, feeling a bit awkward all of a sudden.
A boy nearby hurried to break the awkwardness,
"Come, come, Yao Xiaohua, have a seat."
As he spoke, he offered up his seat.
Conveniently, Yao Yufei ended up sitting to Jiang Ran’s left.
She held her glass, keeping her back very straight.
A fleeting blush crossed her face, disappearing quickly, still retaining that cool and beautiful demeanor.
A click sound.
The room door opened.
A white slender hand held onto the handle.
Wearing a white dress, hair draped over the shoulders, eyes sparkling as she walked in.
In her hand was a pink gift box.
