117: Chapter 117 Where did Xiao Ran go?
As time marched on.
July 15th.
The sun was shining brightly, and it was already late morning!
“Breaking! A mysterious individual donates a building to Art University~~~”
“National Goddess Sun Xin颖’s ‘See You Again’ themed concert will grandly open tonight at 6 PM!”
“Shocking! Tickets for Sun Xin颖’s concert have been scalped for 100,000 yuan each! Who is manipulating the ticket prices?!”
“...”
Inside a well-furnished room in Xingfu Community.
Liang Shiqing was holding a warm body, a blissful smile on her face, sleeping peacefully.
As one of the treasure girls, she was able to enjoy this special treatment!
Because only this type of girl wouldn't cause him to have any impure thoughts when they shared a bed.
Everything seemed so warm and natural.
“Coo coo coo~~~” The rumbling of her body woke the girl, whose senses were acute.
Her lips parted slightly, and she let out a soft yawn.
Her somewhat weak movements revealed a hint of sleepy exhaustion.
“Xiao Ran Gege! What time is it?” Liang Shiqing, still half-asleep, gently nudged the person beside her who was still soundly sleeping.
Xiao Ran’s face was peaceful, as if he was immersed in the depths of a beautiful dream.
The girl’s soft call pulled him out!
His eyelashes fluttered, and his sleeping eyes slowly opened.
“Hmm? Shiqing.” Xiao Ran rubbed his eyes.
Yesterday, he spent the entire day with Liang Shiqing, and both of them were utterly exhausted.
They only returned to their residence very late, showered, and then embraced each other to sleep.
That’s why he slept so soundly!
“Xiao Ran Gege, it’s so noisy outside on the street,” the girl whispered softly into his ear.
“Beep beep~~~”
“Honk honk~~~”
Faint horn sounds drifted from outside the 12th-floor window.
Alright.
It was indeed very noisy.
Xiao Ran shook his head, shaking off all the weariness in his mind, then took out his phone to check the time.
99+ missed calls.
33+ text messages.
Scrolling down, it was all 99+ WeChat messages, even making the screen a bit laggy.
“Holy crap! It’s almost one o’clock! Those annoying guys are probably going to curse me to death,” Xiao Ran exclaimed in surprise.
For him, accompanying Liang Shiqing was simply too comfortable.
It had made him completely forget about time!
However, with Murong Qing’s company, this sleep was truly refreshing!
He wished he could sleep with her every day from now on!
Although he needed to take care of her constantly, interacting with such a girl was too comfortable!
But she would only obey and never retort.
She practically dominated all other girls!
“Haha, Shiqing, it’s already past noon, twelve o’clock. We went to bed too late last night,” Xiao Ran said with a laugh, while picking at the sleep from his eyes.
“Oh! It’s that late already!”
The girl, wearing thin silk pajamas, sat up straight.
Her delicate body, which had already recovered, was somewhat translucent.
Xiao Ran was too tired yesterday to notice this.
She was actually so daring, not even wearing a bulletproof vest!
“Ahem, Shiqing, are you hungry? Xiao Ran Gege will go make you something to eat.” Xiao Ran tactically turned sideways.
His blood was just waking up, and the girl in front of him was still so alluring.
His current state, well, those who know, know!
It was perfectly reasonable!
“I am a bit hungry,” Liang Shiqing said softly, rubbing her eyes.
Yesterday, both of them had expended too much energy, and now their tummies were long since rumbling.
“Okay, you get dressed and wash up first, I’ll go make you something delicious...”
“Mhm mhm!”
...Meanwhile, at the main entrance of the University of Finance.
The three dorm leaders had already met up with the Murong Sisters and their two roommates.
There were a total of 7 people present, with only Xiao Ran missing!
“Zhang Yide, where’s Xiao Ran Gege?” Murong Lan asked the dark-skinned man with a gloomy expression.
“Uh~~~” Zhang Yide scratched his head, unsure how to answer.
Normally, as his good brother,
He should help cover for him.
But the problem was that he couldn’t even contact Xiao Ran right now!
He didn’t even know what excuse to use to cover for him!
“Uh, Class Leader. Can’t you reach Xiao Ran?” Zhang Yide asked cautiously.
He understood most of Xiao Ran’s situation!
He was even certain now that Xiao Ran was definitely with his other girlfriend!
Poor Class Leader was still foolishly waiting for him!
“If I knew, would I be asking you?!” It seemed that with Xiao Ran not present, Murong Lan angrily put her hands on her hips.
Zhang Yide: “...”
Can’t you take your anger out on Xiao Ran? Why me?
“Class Leader, I can’t reach him either. He should still be busy with work!” Zhang Yide casually made up a universal excuse.
“What about you guys? Do you know?” Murong Lan’s sharp gaze swept over the other two scoundrels.
In front of Xiao Ran Gege and her sister, she was a gentle girl.
In front of her classmates, she was a kind-hearted but strict Class Leader!
Lin Zihao and Li Yi exchanged glances, then said in unison, “We don’t know either.”
“I don’t believe you! You’d better tell me Xiao Ran Gege’s whereabouts, or else you’ll suffer after school starts!” Murong Lan narrowed her eyes into a line, frowning angrily.
She felt truly wronged.
She had dressed up beautifully today, just waiting to go to the concert with Xiao Ran Gege!
Originally, everyone had agreed to meet here at the school gate today.
Then, after having a meal together, they would all go to the concert.
She hadn’t expected Xiao Ran Gege to stand her up!
Normally, no matter how busy he was, he would always be on time for dates, never late!
Today was the first time!
With anger in her heart, she had nowhere to vent it.
“Class Leader, you know Xiao Ran’s situation. He’s always elusive, and we often can’t find him, but you know he’s a very trustworthy person,” Lin Zihao explained earnestly.
“That’s right, Class Leader, Xiao Ran must have been delayed by something and couldn’t contact us,” Li Yi chimed in.
“Sister, Xiao Ran might have been delayed by something, let’s wait a bit longer,” Murong Qing tugged at her sister’s hand, uncharacteristically saying something good about Xiao Ran.
A hint of surprise flashed in Murong Lan’s eyes. She hadn’t expected her sister to speak up for Xiao Ran!
It was truly like a small knife scraping a butt, an eye-opener!
However, her sister’s words did dissipate a good deal of her resentment.
“Then let’s wait a little longer.”
“Mhm!” x6
...Xiao Ran stood in the kitchen, holding his phone between his shoulder and ear, and dialed Murong Lan’s number.
At the same time, his hands danced deftly and dazzlingly over the stovetop.
“Beep~~~ Beep~~~ Beep~~~”
“Hello! Xiao Ran Gege, where are you?! Why aren’t you here yet?!” Murong Lan’s voice came through the phone.
One could clearly feel the strong resentment in her words.
In his mind, he almost saw her biting her lip, frowning, and stomping her feet in place...
