Chapter 214: Chapter 206 Not Kicking Liang Fan for Now

Qingran nestled at Xie Ying’an’s home, playing with the lop-eared rabbit all morning, and her downcast mood finally began to settle.

After her mood settled, she started thinking about studying again.

There’s still a month left for the physics final competition. Just a couple of days ago during class, Teacher Wu had hinted that those participating in the physics final should ideally find a tutorial class during the summer holiday to study some more.

After lunch, she and Xie Ying’an nestled in the study to learn, and Zhao Yan didn’t disturb them; instead, she sat on the couch with the teary-eyed pitiful rabbit blowing air-conditioning, meanwhile chatting with her young sister far away in a foreign country.

Around three in the afternoon, Liu Luoxi, Ruan Ruan, and Li Qingmo also came over.

Li Qingmo, as much at home in Xie Ying’an’s place as his own, didn’t need Zhao Yan to entertain him; he knew his way around and grabbed a bottle of ice water from the fridge.

Ruan Ruan noticed the rabbit nestled in the corner at first sight. She crouched down and stared at the little rabbit intently for a long time, her gaze burning.

Seeing that Ruan Ruan had looked for so long, Liu Luoxi, who was chatting with Zhao Yan, got distracted and glanced at the rabbit.

Being a straightforward girl like Li Qingmo, she just thought the rabbit looked purely white and ugly, not seeing anything appealing about it.

After finishing his ice water, Li Qingmo looked around the living room and didn’t see the person he was looking for, so he asked Zhao Yan: "Aunt Zhao, did Li Qingran not come?"

"She’s doing homework in the study." Zhao Yan pointed towards the study.

Li Qingmo couldn’t resist twitching his lips.

Having such a hard-working and diligent younger sister, no one knows the pressure he’s under.

Liu Luoxi swallowed her saliva, her expression somewhat incredulous: "Still, still doing homework? Don’t you guys only get one day off each week?"

Only getting one day off a week, having to attend evening self-study from Monday to Friday, and even on the only rest day on Sunday, teachers still assign homework. How is this a life for anyone?

Ruan Ruan nodded bitterly: "I also still have a pile of homework to do. Looks like I have to work overtime when I get home."

While they were talking, Liu Luoxi’s phone rang, the sound of a WeChat invitation for a voice call.

Liu Luoxi picked up her phone and saw the caller was ’Little Liu Jiang,’ also known as Liang Fan.

She intended to hang up, but after exchanging a look with Ruan Ruan, she still ended up tapping the answer button.

By this time Li Qingmo had already gone to the study to bother Qingran, and Zhao Yan went to the kitchen to wash fruits; only Ruan Ruan and Liu Luoxi remained in the living room.

Liu Luoxi lounged on the sofa, switching the phone to speaker, and lazily greeted, "Hello."

Ruan Ruan stopped looking at the rabbit and leaned in to listen.

Liang Fan’s voice was deliberately softer: "Luo Xi, where are you?"

Luo Xi?

Ruan Ruan mimed a vomiting gesture, and Liu Luoxi laughed as she tossed a pillow at her.

Turning back, she seriously replied to Liang Fan: "I’m at my cousin’s house playing."

"...Cousin?" Liang Fan paused before asking.

He used a questioning tone, seemingly thinking that by asking this way, Liu Luoxi would definitely explain to him.

Already seeing through everything, Liu Luoxi, who wouldn’t explain anything, pretended to be busy: "My cousin is calling me, gotta hang up, bye!"

The impatient tone from Liang Fan quickly followed: "Wait a minute..."

Beep!

The phone emitted a busy tone, Liu Luoxi had already pressed the hang-up button.

Within three seconds, Liang Fan’s voice call came through again.

Impatience appeared on Liu Luoxi’s face; she answered the call, her tone somewhat harsh: "What? Can’t you understand that I’m busy?"

Liang Fan apparently didn’t expect Liu Luoxi, who has always spoken amicably in front of him, to have such a volatile side; he was stunned for quite a while without making a sound.

Liu Luoxi didn’t care whether he was stunned or not, and hung up the phone again.

She tossed her phone aside, rolled her eyes in disgust, and muttered, "This kind of deadbeat is totally unworthy of talking to me!"

It’s not that she despises bootlickers, the main reason is that Liang Fan is bootlicking someone else instead of her.

Ruan Ruan also spoke disdainfully about Liang Fan. Sitting beside Liu Luoxi, she exaggerated, "This kind of guy can never be devoted to someone. Just look, how long has it been since he confessed to Ranran? And in the blink of an eye, he confessed to you again, haha! He’s probably taking advantage of all the girls in your family..."

Ruan Ruan went on and on, while Liu Luoxi, feeling a bit guilty, looked around nervously. She was too angry yesterday, and even more embarrassed to tell Ruan Ruan that she had fallen for Liang Fan’s face and flirted with him first.

After Liu Luoxi ignored the voice calls, Liang Fan, not giving up, sent a few more voice messages.

Ruan Ruan, full of gossip, urged Liu Luoxi to open them and listen.

Liu Luoxi casually opened two.

Liang Fan’s tone was irrevocably urgent, expressing in a long series of words his intent on one side to soothe, and on the other, subtly suggesting one thing: asking Liu Luoxi not to reveal their early love affair.

Just then, Zhao Yan brought over two plates of cut fruits. Although she hadn’t listened to the entire voice messages, she heard a good portion. Ever since the parent-teacher conference, she’s been exceptionally sensitive to the topic of "early love."

After placing the fruits on the table, Zhao Yan scrutinized Ruan Ruan and Liu Luoxi with an inquisitive look.

Ruan Ruan was fine, but Liu Luoxi felt guilty, "What, what’s up, Aunt Zhao?"

Zhao Yan smiled gently, soothingly telling them, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t go spreading rumors, but have you two been in early love too?"

"Too?"

Ruan Ruan and Liu Luoxi looked at each other.

Could there be others involved in early love besides them?

Unable to hold back, Ruan Ruan asked, "Auntie, who else is in early love?"

Zhao Yan sat on the couch beside them, leisurely picking up a piece of watermelon stuck on a toothpick and gestured for them to eat too.

The two, wildly curious, really weren’t in the mood to eat fruits, but still stuffed a piece into their mouths.

"Oh come on, Aunt Zhao, don’t keep us hanging, just tell us. We definitely won’t talk recklessly, look at our sincere eyes," Liu Luoxi said, rapidly blinking a few times.

Zhao Yan didn’t keep them in suspense any longer and repeated what Old Wu had told her during the parent-teacher meeting to them again.

"So," Zhao Yan concluded, "Teacher Wu said Anzai was in early love, but I don’t know the specifics."

Liu Luoxi swallowed nervously, shaking her head, "You mean Xie Ying’an is in early love? I absolutely don’t believe it."

Ruan Ruan turned to look at the closed study room door, then recalling how Xie Ying’an looked at her home’s Ranran, she couldn’t say she didn’t believe it, but early love, that’s absolutely impossible.

In Ranran’s eyes and heart, she is solely focused on studying.

Early love is a major taboo for her; anyone might be involved in early love, but Ranran, never!

"Right?" Zhao Yan herself wasn’t quite convinced either, she knew better than anyone about her son’s unrequited love, "I also think Anzai couldn’t possibly be in early love."

As they were talking, Liu Luoxi’s phone chimed again with a WeChat message notification.

Liu Luoxi picked it up to see, it was again from Liang Fan, a few more voice messages. She couldn’t be bothered to listen, just responded with a simple "Ok."

Liang Fan replied with an emoticon praising her cuteness.

It seems that the voice messages, as Liu Luoxi expected, were just Liang Fan advising her on some matters again.

Liu Luoxi’s eyes flickered with disgust. Already having no genuine feelings for Liang Fan, she now felt even more repulsed.

She’s just been tolerating the disgusting Liang Fan temporarily, waiting to see what he is really up to.
