558: I haven't caught you yet.

I hadn't seen Qin Wuyao yet, but I saw an acquaintance first.

Wang Yujiao.

Wang Yujiao's attitude now was completely different from before.

This was also different from when Lu Ran had first awakened his class. Back then, Lu Ran hadn't yet discovered the scheme between Wang Yujiao and Liang Shaoyu, nor had they had a falling out.

But it was close.

The difference was that in one instance, they had the falling out before the class awakening, and in the other, it was after.

Lu Ran glanced at Wang Yujiao and ignored her.

Instead, Wang Yujiao blocked his path and stood in front of him, saying, "Today is the day of the class awakening."

"Hmm." Lu Ran acknowledged her with a grunt, not paying her any more mind.

"What exactly do you mean? Is there really no possibility between us? I only made a mistake, I will change," Wang Yujiao said.

Huh?

Lu Ran was actually taken aback.

A good horse doesn't return to graze—what was Wang Yujiao playing at?

Could it be that the Liang Family had already made things clear to Wang Yujiao?

Lu Ran was just wondering this.

Wang Yujiao continued, "You are the most likely to awaken a Hidden Class. Once you awaken your class, we can level up together; your future achievements surely won't be low."

Lu Ran was speechless.

No kidding, did you really need to tell me that?

"That's my business, and it has nothing to do with you," Lu Ran said indifferently.

"But you have to know, it's also possible for you to awaken a Common Class. Having high mental power just means a higher probability of awakening a Hidden Class; it's not absolute. Have you ever thought about what your future would be like if you awakened a Common Class?" Wang Yujiao asked.

Lu Ran looked at Wang Yujiao with great interest and said, "As you said, if I really awakened a Common Class, would you still be willing to be with me?"

Wang Yujiao was stunned.

Then she frowned and said, "Even if you don't stay with me, I have Liang Shaoyu and the resources of the Liang Family. I won't have to worry about food or clothing in the future. But you are different; if you don't awaken a Hidden Class, you will be nothing."

To put it bluntly, she was just taking out an insurance policy.

She wanted to make up with Lu Ran first; as long as Lu Ran agreed, she would see how things went.

If Lu Ran awakened a Hidden Class, Wang Yujiao would continue to be with him with peace of mind.

If Lu Ran was unlucky and awakened a Common Class, Wang Yujiao would definitely not say a word and just turn around and leave!

Damn it, what a bitch!

"Get lost already. I don't have the slightest interest in you now. Your so-called Liang Family is nothing in front of me, understand?" Lu Ran couldn't be bothered to drag it out with her any longer.

Meanwhile, Qin Wuyao, who was walking over from not far away, saw this scene and heard Lu Ran's words. She was somewhat surprised by Lu Ran's performance at this moment.

Was he really this decisive?

She had originally thought Lu Ran might hesitate or get dragged into lingering feelings, or that he simply wouldn't be able to withstand Wang Yujiao's offensive.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ran actually had some backbone and ambition.

Just then, Liang Shaoyu also appeared. Seeing Lu Ran and Wang Yujiao standing together, Liang Shaoyu froze and hurriedly tried to turn around to avoid them.

But Wang Yujiao was quick to react.

She had been arguing with Lu Ran, but when she suddenly saw Liang Shaoyu, she had to immediately try to save face on the spot.

So she waved at Liang Shaoyu and shouted, "Shaoyu, over here, over here!"

Liang Shaoyu's expression was a bit ugly.

But thinking that this was also an opportunity, he bit the bullet and walked over.

Wang Yujiao went up intimately, took Liang Shaoyu's arm, and looked at Lu Ran provocatively with raised eyebrows.

She said, "Lu Ran, it's you who didn't know how to cherish me. You will definitely regret it. In the future, Shaoyu and I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Liang Shaoyu pried Wang Yujiao's hand off.

The words in Wang Yujiao's mouth came to an abrupt stop. She looked at Liang Shaoyu in surprise, seemingly stunned.

Liang Shaoyu struck while the iron was hot and said, "Wang Yujiao, don't be touchy-feely. I have nothing to do with you. For a person like you, it shows my Ran-ge's foresight not to be with you. Of course, it's also impossible for me to be with a girl like you."

Huh?

Wang Yujiao was dumbfounded.

Usually, Liang Shaoyu would often clash with Lu Ran in order to pursue her.

Because Lu Ran came from the Poverty Area, even though his mental power was high, he hadn't awakened a class and had no power, influence, or background, so he had been humiliated by Liang Shaoyu countless times.

What was going on today?

Ran-ge?

Where did that title come from?

And, yesterday she and Liang Shaoyu were still flirting, so why did he completely distance himself today?

Even more, looking at Liang Shaoyu's current attitude, he was actually currying favor with Lu Ran?

Wang Yujiao was completely bewildered.

"Shaoyu, you..." She still wanted to step forward.

But Liang Shaoyu dodged her like she was a plague, and at the same time said to Lu Ran, "Ran-ge, I have an appointment with some friends over there, so I won't delay you here. You go ahead and get busy. I'll take my leave first. If you need anything, just say the word!"

After speaking, he waited to see Lu Ran's reaction, as if he wouldn't dare to leave unless Lu Ran agreed.

Lu Ran nodded casually, and only then did Liang Shaoyu feel as if he had been granted an amnesty; he turned around and bolted.

Wang Yujiao was left standing there alone, dumbfounded.

This result was something she had absolutely never expected!

"Lu Ran..." Wang Yujiao came back to her senses and hurriedly looked at Lu Ran, her tone extremely gentle.

Unfortunately, Lu Ran just chuckled, turned his head to see Qin Wuyao watching the show not far away, and walked over to her.

Qin Wuyao was stunned. Feeling a bit guilty like someone caught in the act, she immediately wanted to leave.

"Qin Wuyao, what are you running for?" Lu Ran quickened his pace and chased after her.

"Ah, I... I'm not running, I... I..." Qin Wuyao stammered.

Lu Ran's abnormal behavior left even the usually very calm Qin Wuyao unable to react.

"The class awakening is about to start soon. How about it, do you have confidence?" Lu Ran said with easy familiarity.

He was, of course, very familiar with Qin Wuyao. After all, they had been through so much together.

But from Qin Wuyao's current perspective, they weren't that close yet.

Therefore, Lu Ran's attitude at this moment still felt a bit abrupt to Qin Wuyao.

However, Qin Wuyao didn't resist this easy familiarity; instead, she was quite happy.

"Who knows? Something like a class awakening is unpredictable," Qin Wuyao said helplessly.

"It's predictable. A Hidden Class is guaranteed," Lu Ran said, patting his chest in assurance.

"Pfft, you're not a fortune teller. How can you be so sure? If I don't awaken a Hidden Class, then what?" Qin Wuyao asked.

It seemed that because of Lu Ran's easy familiarity, Qin Wuyao was also gradually opening up.

"Even if you don't awaken a class, it's fine. Just follow me from now on, and I'll make sure you live the good life."

Lu Ran walked up on his own accord and put an arm around Qin Wuyao's shoulder as he spoke.

To Lu Ran, this was a very normal action, as they were very close.

But from Qin Wuyao's perspective, this action was far too intimate. They weren't that close yet!

"It's... it's about to start, I... I'm going back to my class!" Qin Wuyao threw out that sentence, quickly shook off Lu Ran, and ran away.

Watching her flustered appearance, Lu Ran laughed heartily.

You little thing. With this second chance, won't I have you, you little girl, under my thumb?
