Ye Qingran's eyes lit up.

If she could get this place, the school wouldn't have any objections when she didn't come to school, neither would Ye family.

Ye Qingran nodded and said that she would work hard. Then, she took a few practice books from the teacher.

She worked on them for days and still didn't finish.

The past few days were very peaceful since she did not see the female lead or the male leads.

The female lead, Mu Qingxue, had officially entered the entertainment industry, which was why she was not in school these few days. Every day, she was the trending topic on the internet.

She was very popular.

In just a few days, she had changed from an ordinary girl into a popular newcomer in the entertainment industry.

The only thing that was not perfect was that Chu Ruoruo did not come to school and Zixia had gone abroad for vacation.

Chu Yan had not come back for a few days.

She felt bored and went back to the Ye family home. She stayed there for a night and Ye Jun offered to check her homework.

Ye Qingran was stunned and did not respond.

The last time she encountered such a situation was when she was in primary school.

Ye Jun said proudly, “I was the top scorer in science in our city in gaokao. You can ask me about the math problems that you don't know how to solve.”

Ye Qingran took out the exercise book that the teacher had custom-made for her and pointed at the most difficult problem. “I don't know how to do this. Tell me about it.”

Ye Jun didn't really want to give ye Qingran the questions.

He was offering to do it to encourage Ye Qingran and also to brag about himself so that his son would admire him.

In the past, Ye Qingran wouldn't dare to talk to him.

When he did, he'd either ask for money or talk back.

But to his surprise, this time, not only did Ye Qingran really ask for help, but she also asked him to help with a very difficult problem.

He could not solve it…

Ye Jun coughed lightly. “I should have done this when I was in high school. It's not difficult at all…”

But the next second, he took out his phone. “I suddenly remembered that I have an important call to make. You go ahead and do it first. I'll talk to you later.”

He walked away. “I'll be on the phone for a long time. You seem to be in a hurry. I'll ask your brother to help you.”

Ye Qingran watched him flee and smiled.

At night, the charming lights lit up the city.

It was very quiet inside the small villa. Ye Qingran poured a glass of water and was ready to turn off the lights and go back to her room to sleep.

Suddenly, the door opened.

She saw He Cizhou walk in with Chu Yan leaning against him listlessly, eyes closed.

Ye Qingran was surprised. “What's happened?”

He Cizhou saw her and immediately said, “Little friend, you're still up. That's great. Come over and help your Chu Yan into his room.”

Ye Qingran put down the glass and quickly walked over to help He Cizhou walk Chu Yan to his bedroom upstairs.

He Cizhou heaved a sigh of relief. “He is heavy.”

He looked at Ye Qingran and said, “I'll leave him to you. Take care of him. He drank a little too much today.”

Ye Qingran glanced at Chu Yan who was lying on the bed,

the aloof and indifferent man was always expressionless. He did not seem to care about anything. Even when he was drunk, he looked as cool as usual. His face was not red and his breath was even.

It was as if he had fallen asleep.

He didn't look drunk at all.

She asked, “Why did he drink so much? Were you guys in some kind of social gathering?”

“No, it's no that. Today, the main thing is…” He Cizhou paused.

He hesitated for a moment but did not continue. He only said, “Today is a little special to him. He wants to get drunk. Don't worry, there's nothing to worry about. He just needs some sleep. He'll be fine when he wakes up tomorrow. He'll be the same Chu Yan you see every day.”

Ye Qingran went silent.

She knew that He Cizhou was hiding something.

Since he didn't want to talk about it, she did not press him.

After He Cizhou left, she got a wet towel and gently cleaned Chu Yan's face and hands. She wanted him to sleep more comfortably.

This was the first time she had looked at Chu Yan so closely.

The way she stared at Chu Yan was as if she was looking at a delicious dessert.

Since he was asleep, she felt it safe to enjoy his looks to her heart's satisfaction.

She put the towel aside and slowly moved her face closer to Chu Yan's as she stared straight at his face.

The man's facial features were exquisite. Every line was just perfect as if it had been meticulously sculpted. Therefore, even though his face was cold and indifferent every day, people were still stunned by his beauty.

She did not know how long she had been staring at him.

Suddenly, she felt that her small face was a little hot.

She raised her hand and touched it.

It was so hot.

There was an air conditioning in the room. Why was it suddenly so hot?

Except for her flushed face, her breathing was rapid and her heart was racing…

She was not sick, right?

Then what kind of illness was this?

Ye Qingran blinked.

At this moment, the man's eyelashes moved slightly and he suddenly opened his eyes.

Their gazes met.

Their faces were so close to each other that they could see themselves in each other's eyes. Their noses would touch each other even if they moved slightly.

The air seemed to freeze in an instant.

Ye Qingran froze for a long time before she came back to her senses.

Guiltily, she looked away.

Then, she felt that her act was a little self-revealing.

“You're awake?” Ye Qingran forced out a smile and subconsciously picked up the towel. Then, she explained why she was so close to him. “Well, you're drunk. He Cizhou sent you back. I cleaned your face.”

Chu Yan's usually cold eyes looked confused.

Ye Qingran had known him for so long, but she had never seen him in such a confused state.

Was this due to the alcohol?

“Are you sober?” Ye Qingran asked tentatively. She even reached out and waved her hand in front of him.

“Help me up.”

Chu Yan's gaze fell on her face and he said faintly. His voice was a little hoarse, probably because he had drunk too much and vomited before.

Ye Qingran quickly reached out and helped him sit up on the bed.

He said, “Get me some water.”

Ye Qingran quickly poured a glass of water and brought it to him.

After he drank it, she asked, “Are you feeling better now?”

Chu Yan did not say anything and just sat quietly.

The warm light in the room fell on his handsome face, making him look charming and sexy.

Ye Qingran tilted her head slightly and looked at him. She was not sure if he was sober or not, so she asked again, “Why did you drink so much today?”

Chu Yan was silent for a moment before he replied, “I drank a little.”

Ye Qingran said “oh” and deliberately drawled, “You got drunk after drinking a little? He Cizhou said that today is special. Why is it special? Is today the anniversary of your breakup with your ex-girlfriend?”

Chu Yan looked at her with a deep gaze. “Why do you keep asking about my ex-girlfriend?”
