11: Chapter 11 Agreement

Two years had passed.

Xiao Ran hadn't expected Bai Lu to move her shop directly to his university's vicinity.

Her intentions were as clear as day.

She was trying to devour him!

He couldn't let her ruin his plan, otherwise, he would truly be doomed.

"Ranran! Are you reminiscing about our past?" Bai Lu's red lips parted slightly, a hint of joy flashing across her charming face.

Xiao Ran secretly rolled his eyes.

Today's shrimp and pig heart dish was her revenge, wasn't it?

"Sister Bai Lu, do you remember our conversation that night?"

"Ranran..."

Bai Lu's eyes suddenly dimmed; that was the last thing she wanted to talk about.

"I told you, we're not suitable. Please stop pestering me, okay? We both need to be a bit more dignified."

"Ranran, you used to say you had your pride! But that girlfriend of yours, I can tell she's also a rich girl. Why are you willing to choose her and not me?"

Bai Lu said, full of indignation.

"A Lan is different from you."

Xiao Ran shook his head and continued,

"She's gentler and more foolish than you. She always thinks of me in every way, and she knows exactly what I like and dislike.

She knows all my daily habits, she respects me greatly, and she never forces me to do anything."

Xiao Ran's heart-piercing comparison made Bai Lu's face turn pale.

Everything Xiao Ran said was something she had failed to do in the past.

Two years had passed... was he still unable to let go?

Regret once again filled her heart.

If she had been a little more sensible, a little more obedient back then, would it be herself by Ranran's side now?

"Ranran... have you decided... to spend your life with her?"

Bai Lu clenched her delicate fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms.

She was afraid he would say yes!

She hoped he would say no!

"Sister Bai Lu, I told you, you don't understand me. I'm very disappointed that you would ask such a question; you're still as... unchanged as ever."

Xiao Ran shook his head, a hint of regret on his face.

'You little trickster, if you could figure me out that easily, how would I survive? You ask me a question, and I'll kick the ball back to you, keep CPU-ing you. You can slowly overthink it.'

"Ranran... I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I won't ask anymore..."

Bai Lu was once again furiously assaulted by dead memories, falling into deep self-doubt.

Xiao Ran smiled inwardly.

"Sister Bai Lu! Breakups should be dignified; neither of us should say sorry! Let the past be the past. We can still be good friends in the future."

Xiao Ran looked at the older woman in front of him.

He reached out to help her tidy her messy hair, a gentleness he hadn't shown in two years.

Bai Lu froze in place.

Memories seemed to return to two years ago... Back then, she always liked to deliberately mess up her hair, and he would eagerly come over, tidying it for her without complaint.

While combing, he would also praise how good and fragrant her hair was... Bai Lu suddenly felt a pang in her heart.

She was so foolish back then!

Truly.

She hadn't expected

her beloved boy to touch her hair again.

This gentleness, two years overdue, was truly... so warm.

She wished

time would forever stop at this moment.

"Ranran! You're right, we can still be good friends!"

Bai Lu burst into a smile through her tears, like a blooming peony, noble and charming.

"Sister Bai Lu, it's good that you've come to your senses!"

Xiao Ran said with a gentle smile on his face.

'Finally, it's settled!'

"So, Ranran, starting today, I'm going to officially... pursue you!"

Xiao Ran: "???"

Who am I?

Where am I?

What did I just say?

So all that I said was for nothing?

"Uh..."

He was at a loss for words.

"What's wrong, Ranran?" Bai Lu tilted her head, blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, looking at him with confusion.

"Can you please stop disturbing my life! After all, I already have a girlfriend! I don't want her to get hurt!"

"Ranran, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried; everything is unknown. Who says I definitely don't have a chance?"

A bold idea emerged in Bai Lu's mind.

'Ranran is such a responsible boy. If I just 'cook the rice' with him, it'll be a done deal! Then no one will be able to change it! I'll win completely!

It would be best to get pregnant! Then when my parents see their grandchild, things will be even more stable! Perfect!'

"Sister Bai Lu! Be rational. You might not understand other things, but you understand my personality! What I've decided, I won't waver from!" Xiao Ran tried to stop her bold idea.

'Although what you say makes sense! I don't agree with it! Don't think I don't know your naughty thoughts! It's already messy enough; if there's another variable, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it!'

"It's precisely because I understand your personality that I must do this!" Bai Lu smiled charmingly, as if she had him completely figured out, then continued:

"Ranran, you probably haven't done anything 'bad' with your girlfriend yet, have you?"

"..."

She had to ask about that too?

But to maintain his perfect persona, he couldn't lie about something like this!

"Sister Bai Lu, you know that during a relationship, I won't do anything inappropriate."

Bai Lu's heart swelled with joy.

She knew it!

When Xiao Ran was with her, he wouldn't even kiss her!

The closest they ever got was just their faces pressed together, at most she would secretly sneak a kiss on him.

So she firmly believed that Ranran was still a sweet-smelling virgin!

Slurp!

She was drooling!

"Sigh, Sister Bai Lu, please don't bother me in the future. I'm afraid my girlfriend will misunderstand. Let's leave it at that!" Xiao Ran felt it was better to cut the knot quickly.

"Ranran, if you treat me like this, I'll go to your school every day and make a scene, saying you got me pregnant and then abandoned me!"

Bai Lu bared her two small canine teeth, saying 'fiercely'.

Damn!

Xiao Ran believed that Bai Lu was indeed capable of doing such a thing to get him!

But Xiao Ran wasn't someone to be trifled with; would he let her manipulate him like this?

"Sister Bai Lu, if you dare to do that, we will completely cut ties! I mean what I say!"

Xiao Ran's tone was calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

"Ranran, don't be angry, I was just joking."

Bai Lu was a little flustered, it seemed she had gone too far!

She had already lost this boy who had eyes only for her!

She couldn't push her luck any further!

Xiao Ran dodged the finger 'walking' across the table, and said calmly:

"If you dare to do anything to hurt me, even if you get me, I won't be with you.

I'm a stubborn person. I won't care what others tell me to do or how to do it.

I will only stick to my own ideas; no one can sway me, do you understand?"

Xiao Ran was giving her a warning shot.

He was also afraid she would secretly drug him and sleep with him.

If she latched onto him then, he'd be doomed. He couldn't give up a whole forest for one tree; he had to keep cutting trees!

"Then I'll just honestly open my shop here, that's fine, right!"

Bai Lu pouted aggrievedly.

Her eyes welled up with tears, her red lips tempting,

Her pitiful appearance was simply deadly.

She was somewhat at a loss from his warning shot, not expecting him to be so guarded against her.

She could only settle for the next best thing, staying by his side for now, and acting when the opportunity arose!

"Okay, but I hope you don't disturb my life, and don't disturb my girlfriend. You'd best stay quietly in the shop and not run around. I'll come to accompany you when I have time."

Xiao Ran also took a step back, afraid she would completely lose it and burn bridges. Giving each other some buffer space was enough.

"Really! Ranran, you're really willing to go on a date with me?" Bai Lu hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.

"Don't misunderstand, to correct myself, it's not a date, it's just friends catching up, that's all."

"It's close enough, so it's settled then." Bai Lu waved her hand.

"Mhm! I'm leaving now, I'm still hungry. My date with A Lan was ruined by you. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again, otherwise, the agreement we just made is canceled." Xiao Ran said without a doubt.

"Mhm mhm! Ranran, big sister will listen to you!" Bai Lu patted her ample chest, promising.

"Remember! Don't come and bother us, I'll contact you proactively when I have time!" Xiao Ran mentioned again before leaving.

Bai Lu watched his retreating figure,

her tongue flicked out slightly, gently turning.

Her red lips were fiery, as if poisonous.

"Hehehe, my Xiao Ran, little brother, you definitely won't escape big sister's palm, hmph hmph!"
