48: Chapter 48 Too hasty

The summer breeze was gentle, the sky was cloudless, and the sun, as usual, was still scorching.

Xiao Ran, wearing a white sun hat, arrived at the small grove next to the dorm building, found a random bench, sat down, and started playing on his phone.

A flash of white light~~

King of Glory!

Starting!

Entering the game interface, only one game friend was online in his friend list.

And only one!

He never played games with girls.

Xiao Ran had only added this sole friend because he saw how well she played.

Leng Ruo Bingxue: "Brother, want to play?"

Xiao Ran's lips curved into a smile.

The Lu Ban on the other team is an idiot: "You play Li Bai, I'll go AD."

Leng Ruo Bingxue: "Mhm mhm~~"

Entering the game.

The two began to dominate the battlefield.

This guy played Li Bai and Luna incredibly well.

He could give him a run for his money.

A girl playing this well?

He wouldn't believe it even if he died!

...After one game,

Leng Ruo Bingxue: "Brother, want to play more?"

The Lu Ban on the other team is an idiot: "No, my friend called me."

Leng Ruo Bingxue: "Mhm mhm, go ahead."

The Lu Ban on the other team is an idiot: "Add WeChat? I want to see what you look like."

Leng Ruo Bingxue: "Brother... let's just be game friends..."

Xiao Ran decisively exited the game.

This was also Xiao Ran's way of finding fun in his busy schedule... Gu Yurou's makeup time was probably around twenty minutes, which was quite fast.

A naturally beautiful girl,

a simple no-makeup makeup look could instantly surpass ninety-eight percent of other girls.

Yu Rou: "Handsome, I'm coming out now (﹡ˆoˆ﹡)"

: "Okay, I'm in the small grove downstairs from your building."

Xiao Ran didn't dare to get close to the dorms.

It would be troublesome if Murong Lan found him.

Once he dumped Gu Yurou, he wouldn't have to worry anymore.

Approximately three minutes later.

Xiao Ran saw a vibrant and beautiful girl with a single ponytail, wearing a pristine white shirt with a heart-piercing arrow design on the chest, and three-quarter length denim shorts.

Her long, fair, and beautiful legs, smooth and delicate like two jade pillars, walked towards him with light steps.

"Xiao Ran Gege!"

Gu Yurou, as usual, spread her arms and bounced over.

"Yu Rou."

Xiao Ran smiled gently,

This time, he didn't open his arms for her, but instead turned his body to the side.

He put one hand in his pocket and extended his right hand, ready to hold her hand.

"Xiao Ran Gege, a hug!" Gu Yurou pouted and wrinkled her nose, a little displeased, and tried to hug him again.

Xiao Ran dodged again.

"Yu Rou, it's too hot, no hugs." Xiao Ran gently held her hand, not making any more small gestures.

"Ying ying ying! Yu Rou wants one!"

The girl pouted, blinked her big eyes, looking as if she'd be angry if he didn't hug her.

Xiao Ran smiled slightly, "No."

If you want it, I have to give it?

What kind of logic is that?

"Come on! Follow me into another small grove!" Xiao Ran pulled her and walked forward.

A small grove was definitely the most suitable setting for a breakup,

not only was it secluded and soundproof, but it also had a great environmental effect.

Gu Yurou's face was slightly flushed, her expression still a little resentful.

She noticed that Xiao Ran Gege was particularly strange today.

Not only did he not hug her,

he also didn't make any small gestures towards her!

At least tickle her palm or scratch an itch, or if that's not possible, pinch her cheek or the tip of her nose!

He seemed so strange,

she felt like he was moody, as if something was on his mind.

It made her feel nervous too, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Xiao Ran Gege, is something on your mind?"

Gu Yurou wrapped her hands around his, asking gently.

Xiao Ran felt a little warmth in his heart when he heard her caring words.

But,

Yu Rou, the one you should be concerned about is yourself!

"Yu Rou, let's find a secluded place first, then I'll tell you." Xiao Ran gently patted her hand.

Gu Yurou tilted her head and glanced at his profile.

Two drops of sweat dripped from his forehead, down his handsome face, and landed on a passing ant.

She frowned,

pulled out two tissues from her mini white cross-body bag,

"Xiao Ran Gege, you're sweating so much! Don't move!"

Her slender hand gently lifted, carrying a hint of a maiden's fragrance,

and she softly wiped the sweat beads from his forehead and cheeks.

Her eyes were full of love and tenderness, filled only with him... After wiping once,

she folded the tissue in half and wiped again, until his skin was cool and dry.

"All done!"

Her small ponytail swayed, and a subtle, enchanting fragrance wafted.

She crumpled the tissue into a ball, held it in her palm, and seeing no trash can nearby, she unhesitatingly put the tissue back into her bag.

Xiao Ran felt guilty.

The girl's thoughtfulness and care completely offset her annoying and clingy personality.

Although he occasionally secretly complained about this girl, he couldn't feel even a tiny bit of dislike for her.

This feeling,

was like pure first love, sweet honey tea,

drinking too much might make one feel a little sour, but ultimately, the lingering taste in the mouth was still sweet.

'Sigh!'

'Gu Yurou, oh Gu Yurou, you're really making me feel incredibly guilty!'

'But, even if you're this good to me, I am ultimately the man you can't have.'

'Even if you did get me, all you'd end up with would be a handful of light ashes~'

Xiao Ran pulled out his other hand and gently stroked her cheek; it was cool to the touch, a little sticky and slick, probably from makeup water.

"Yu Rou, thank you."

"Thank me for what, Xiao Ran Gege? You're so strange today!"

Gu Yurou was a little confused.

Because in her impression, her Xiao Ran Gege wouldn't be so polite without reason.

"It's nothing, let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

Xiao Ran finally hardened his heart and pulled her towards the dim grove.

Gu Yurou was a little confused by his meaning; why was he taking her to a small grove so early in the morning? Shouldn't it be in the evening or at night?

Although she didn't understand why,

her face gradually warmed, a blush slowly spreading from her neck to her cheeks, finally settling on her ears.

'Xiao Ran Gege brought me here~ And hardly anyone ever comes here.'

'Could it be that he wants to do *that* with me?'

'He probably wants to do some things that only couples do, right?'

'Ying ying ying, so annoying!'

'Should I just accept it directly, or be reserved for a bit before accepting?'

'No, no! Xiao Ran Gege will definitely think I'm a bad girl!'

'Exactly, why didn't he tell Yu Rou in advance? Yu Rou could have booked a room!'

'It's not very clean here! There are leaves and dirt everywhere!'

'Could it be... Xiao Ran Gege likes to play like this?'

'But... for my first time... to be here, wouldn't it be too hasty?'

'At the very least... at the very least, he should get a mat or something to collect *that*!'

'TV shows always portray it like that!'

Gu Yurou was a little absent-minded, letting Xiao Ran pull her along, as if her entire being had lost the ability to resist.

Or perhaps she didn't want to resist at all, and even wanted to intensify it?

'Or... maybe I can use my clothes as a mat! My clothes are white! And they have hearts!''

'It perfectly fits the meaning!'

The girl's thoughts drifted, her mind wandering, and she bumped into Xiao Ran without noticing.

She rubbed her buzzing head and said resentfully:

"Xiao Ran Gege, why did you stop?"

"Yu Rou, we're here." Xiao Ran said softly.

"Huh?"

Gu Yurou lowered her hand and looked around.

The light was dim, and the shaded path was covered with leaves, as if no one had tended to it for a long time.

It was a bright and sunny morning, yet it was dim and lightless here, filled with a suffocating atmosphere, as if a great terror was about to descend.

Gu Yurou pouted; she didn't like it here.

Even in the wild... she wanted to find a cleaner place... "Xiao Ran Gege, Yu Rou doesn't like this place... Should we find another place?"

'This place is way too hasty!'

'What if... a snake comes out while we're doing *that*?'

'Hmph! Xiao Ran Gege is too unromantic!'

'How can such a thing be done here!'

"Xiao Ran Gege! Yu Rou is angry! The kind that can't be appeased!"

Gu Yurou shook off Xiao Ran's hand, took a wide stance, put her hands on her hips, and said huffily,

"For such a sacred and romantic thing, why did you choose this place?! Yu Rou doesn't like it! Yu Rou strongly demands we go to a clean place!"

Xiao Ran: "???"

Girl, did you misunderstand something?

Does a breakup also require good feng shui?

Isn't just picking a day enough?

And look how good it is here!

There's wind!

There are trees!

There's even a pond (small puddle)!

And small animals (ants)!

Absolutely a place of excellent feng shui!

Perfect for burying love!
