"Ling'Er, what's the deal with this guy? And why are you living together with him?"

After running out of Xiaofan's room, Chen Mei'Er immediately asked Ren Ling, who was having lunch nearby.

"Less than three minutes? So quick?" Ren Ling glanced at Chen Mei'Er, slowly hung up the phone.

Hearing Ren Ling say this, Chen Mei'Er's face turned red again in an instant. She must have heard the loud noise she made just now.

"No, he doesn't know what got into him." Chen Mei'Er took a tissue to wipe the liquid off her neck, carefully tidying her clothes.

"There's chicken soup, want some?" Ren Ling said as she poured a bowl for Chen Mei'Er.

"No, Ren Ling, what's the deal with you and this Ye Xiaofan?" Chen Mei'Er asked softly. If she hadn't gone in earlier, would Ye Xiaofan have done that with her? Xiaofan's behavior was really strange earlier, like he had taken the wrong medicine.

"Careful, it's hot." Ren Ling didn't answer Chen Mei'Er's question, just placed the chicken soup in front of her.

Chen Mei'Er was familiar with Ren Ling's personality, quite used to her jumping conversations.

The chicken soup turned out to be quite delicious. She didn't expect this girl to be so skilled.

Though Ren Ling was older, Chen Mei'Er refused to acknowledge it when looking at her,

so she always called her Ling'Er.

"I like Ye Xiaofan."

While sipping the chicken soup, Ren Ling suddenly confessed to Chen Mei'Er.

"Hmm. I can tell." Chen Mei'Er replied while drinking the soup.

"You don't mind?"

"What's the use of minding? I'm not his girlfriend. Who he wants to be with is his freedom, it's none of my business." Chen Mei'Er continued.

"Oh."

"What exactly happened just now?"

"I was seducing him, it was about to work, and then you showed up..."

Uh... this girl's words were really straightforward. She believes in saying things directly without any consideration.

Chen Mei'Er was really curious about how this girl managed to do that. She had tried seducing Ye Xiaofan quite a few times herself. Whether directly or subtly hinting, wearing revealing clothes, she had done it all, but apart from casting flirtatious glances, this guy never took further action, never like today when he acted out of character.

"Is it appropriate to play around like that?"

"I'm not playing, I plan to marry him in the future."

"Are you serious?" Chen Mei'Er asked, startled.

The two of them met in high school, Chen Mei'Er had a somewhat neutral personality, while Ren Ling was perceived as rather dull. They were in the same class where guys liked to mess with Ren Ling, and Chen Mei'Er would step in to help, which led to them becoming familiar.

They ended up at the same university, occasionally meeting for meals. Chen Mei'Er was unsure about how Ren Ling interacted with others due to her bluntness, never sugarcoating anything, even with a cute face, she remained expressionless. Some people wanted to befriend her, but her lack of emotional expression made it difficult.

But having understood Ren Ling's character, Chen Mei'Er knew she wasn't arrogant, and intriguingly, her father seemed to have business dealings with the Ren Family.

She never lied or joked; thus, her declaration about marrying Xiaofan was probably sincere.

Meanwhile, our classmate Ye Xiaofan, after enduring a tough half-hour in his room, managed to sweat out the heat inside him.

He opened the door and headed straight to the bathroom for another cold shower, before marching seriously into the living room.

He initially suspected Ren Ling had added something to the chicken soup, but upon seeing both Chen Mei'Er and Ren Ling calmly drinking it, he was taken aback.

So, what nerve had he hit earlier that made him act so impulsively?

"Hey, Ye Xiaofan, what were you pulling earlier? Trying to take advantage of me?" Chen Mei'Er loudly demanded as soon as she saw Xiaofan.

"Sorry." Xiaofan apologized and then looked at Ren Ling with confusion.

Ren Ling was equally surprised. Ordinarily, such a drug should affect anyone for over two hours, but this guy managed to control it within just half an hour, truly unusual.

"Are you... possessed or something?" Chen Mei'Er asked with slight worry.

"Maybe. Damn it." Xiaofan muttered angrily.

'Knock knock knock.' Just then, knocking sounded from the door.

"Who is it?" Chen Mei'Er called out and went to open the door.

Liu Siyan felt unsettled not hearing from Xiaofan for half the day, considering his place wasn't far from the school, she decided to pay a visit. But to her surprise, Chen Mei'Er answered the door.

At first glance, Liu Siyan noticed Chen Mei'Er's neck marks, making her heart skip a beat. Though she hadn't experienced such things, friends who had shared jokes about it during conversations.

But now, with such marks on Chen Mei'Er's neck, and not just one, it wasn't a coincidence that she was in Xiaofan's room. After all, Xiaofan's relationship with her was vague.

"Hmm? Why are you standing at the door, come in." Chen Mei'Er asked curiously.

"I... you guys..." Liu Siyan felt on the verge of tears.

"Siyan?" Xiaofan called out.

If Xiaofan hadn't called her, Liu Siyan might have burst into tears. Once inside, she discovered another person there.

Ren Ling glanced at Liu Siyan, blinked her big eyes, and then softly spoke: "Truly beautiful."

"Siyan, sorry, I've been busy these past days, can't spend time with you." Xiaofan explained helplessly.

"Hmm? No worries, I just came to check. You... what were you doing?" Liu Siyan asked subconsciously.

"We..." Xiaofan hesitated, the previous situation was hard to explain. Would Siyan even believe it if he did? There's no need to hide it either.

"We were... drinking chicken soup. Oh, let me introduce, this is Ren Ling. I just found out she's living with Xiaofan. This guy missed class today, so I came to check on him. I found them sipping soup together, so I shamelessly joined them." Chen Mei'Er immediately jumped in to help Xiaofan out.

Yes, Chen Mei'Er knew she had some strange feelings for Xiaofan, but she didn't want her presence to interfere with Xiaofan and Liu Siyan's relationship. Even though the marks on her neck remained, she could completely pretend the incident from those three minutes never happened.
