Chapter 337: Master Juan’s Action, Move Back to Ting Lan
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Carrying a black backpack, Qin Ran went to Dean Jiang’s office for a new set of books before going out.
Downstairs, she bumped into Xing Kai and Chu Heng, both holding documents.
“Qin Ran!” Xing Kai immediately waved at her. “Where are you going? Are you going to the snack street too?”
Chu Heng also waved to her.
“No, I’m going out.” She held her books with the other hand and lowered her eyelashes, covering the faint red blood streaks at the bottom of her eyes.
She carried seven nuclear engineering textbooks in total, each of them rather heavy.
The seven books amounted to a total of several kilograms.
“I’ll carry them for you,” Xing Kai said very gentlemanly.
If the other boys in the class saw him letting one of the only two girls in their class carrying a stalk of books by herself without his help, he would certainly be scolded by them.
Weighing the books in her hand, Qin Ran replied, “Thanks, but it’s not heavy.”
In the past few days, lots of rumors about her had spread on the forum, but the boys from Class 1 didn’t believe them. After military training, they understood her temper and knew she never had much contact with boys usually. Most of her contacts were merely friends.
Hearing this, Xing Kai also remembered her feat during military training. The bags would feel as heavy as iron in other people’s hands, but she carried them in one hand, lithe like a swallow. He silently retracted his hand.
“By the way, do you want some Automation notes?” Xing Kai pointed to Chu Heng. “Chu Heng has already summarized the essence of every topic. Let Nan Huiyao bring them to you next time.”
Chu Heng was a little cold, and upon hearing this, he just nodded and said in a clear voice, “But Senior Hong is an excellent graduate of the Automation Department, so you might not need it.”
The three of them walked on the road, discussing the series of issues in the Physics Department.
Not many people were at the school gate.
Glancing around, Qin Ran saw Cheng Juan among the crowd at a glance, standing out from everyone else.
“I’m going back.” She waved to them and walked towards Cheng Juan.
He casually stood by the roadside with his mobile phone, his eyes sweeping the crowd indifferently. His posture was lazy, and his expression was nonchalant.
He didn’t usually drive when he came to school, since it wasn’t far. Furthermore, he was afraid of adversely affecting her.
Noticing her knitted eyebrows, he stopped and also frowned. Then, he reached out for Qin Ran’s books, glancing at Chu Heng and Xing Kai.
Both of them looked okay, but in Qin Ran’s eyes, they probably weren’t of high standards. Cheng Juan just politely greeted them.
Xing Kai responded quickly, “Hello!”
When Qin Ran and Cheng Juan left, Xing Kai stared at their backs for a long time before returning to his senses—
His first impression of the man was that he was very handsome. Although his moves and tone seemed very polite, Xing Kai felt an inexplicable strong sense of oppression from him.
His temperament and even his style of talking were extraordinary, cold, and arrogant. Especially his age, he didn’t look like a “society person” as Leng Peishan had described and seemed only two years older…
He felt increasingly inferior the longer he stared at him.
Looking away, he touched his chin. “Everyone in the class can give up now. But Qin Ran is really a little strange.”
“Why?” Chu Heng walked towards the snack street.
“Isn’t it weird? She’s carrying a knapsack that has already formed burrs, but she’s also wearing Brand L’s limited edition sneakers.” Xing Kai pondered and couldn’t help smirking. “These kinds of sneakers are usually bought as part of a collection by sneakers fans, and only she will wear them.
“And the thermos she brought to military training. Do you remember? The diamonds on it are real…”

At night.
Cheng Wenru came over to eat after hearing that Qin Ran had returned. Sitting casually at the dining table, she looked around the empty table and knocked on the door. “Where’s Ran Ran?”
Sitting opposite, Cheng Juan held the chopsticks with his beautiful fingers and casually explained, “She’s reading in the study.”
“So hardworking. I…” Cheng Wenru put down her hands and stood up, about to head upstairs.
Without looking up, Cheng Juan slowly said, “You can try.”
Having turned around already, Cheng Wenru squeezed her wrists and then sat back down with a sheepish smile after ten seconds. “I remember Beijing University’s teaching system is very strict. I won’t bother Ran Ran.”
After eating, Cheng Juan went upstairs to see Qin Ran, but instead of leaving, Cheng Wenru sat on the sofa and attacked Cheng Mu with the Yunguang Consortium’s affairs.
Cheng Mu kept fiddling with the flowers without saying anything.
Resting her chin in her hands, Cheng Wenru smiled. “Cheng Mu, you’ve spread your wings.”
Although she hadn’t received any reply, she guessed from Cheng Mu’s attitude that there must indeed be some inside story about the Yunguang Consortium’s contract.
Folding her arms, she glanced upstairs.
Cheng Mu was speechless.
Upstairs.
Cheng Juan carried a thermos and entered the study.
He used this study often. A pot of mint grass rested on the desk, and the curtains were half-drawn. Cheng Juan glanced around and saw Qin Ran lying on the table.
Only half of her face was exposed, and her eyelashes hung shallowly. The coldness had faded from her face, and her legs were leaning on the bottom of the table wantonly. Even while sleeping, she still seemed not to be trifled with.
She probably hadn’t slept well in the past week, or she wouldn’t have fallen asleep while reading.
Other than in the school doctor’s office at the beginning, Cheng Juan rarely saw her in this state. He rubbed his eyebrows involuntarily, then walked over slowly and gently placed the teacup on her table.
She still didn’t wake up.
He took out the pen she was holding and called her twice, but she still didn’t wake up.
She seemed really sleepy.
Standing by the table for two minutes, he went through a fierce debate in his mind about whether to wake her up to eat or to let her continue sleeping. In the end, he still couldn’t bear to wake her up.
He bent down to pick her up easily and then opened the door.
Qin Ran’s room wasn’t locked, so he went in and placed her down gently on the bed. He carefully removed his left hand and then cautiously withdrew his right hand off of the pillow, trying not to wake her up.
Qin Ran moved a little, her eyebrows knitted. Appearing a little impatient, she rested her head on his right hand.
As her slender hair weaved through his fingers, he moved lightly and pulled up her quilt with his left hand.
After trying several times, he still failed to pull out his right hand from under her head.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he was silent for a while before snorting. “Do you know who I am?”
Qin Ran slept quietly without answering.

The next day, she got up very early.
Glancing around the room, she pressed her temple with her right hand, looking thoughtfully at the door.
Going downstairs with her thermos, she bumped into Cheng Mu. “Miss Qin, good morning.”
She raised her hand to check the time on her phone. It was 7 am, which was considered late compared to her usual time.
But she had slept quite comfortably last night, so the red blood streaks at the bottom of her eyes had faded a lot.
She went to the kitchen to take a glass of milk, glancing around the hall.
No one else was seen.
Cheng Mu immediately understood. “Master Juan has gone to Beijing University.”
At that moment, Cheng Juan already opened the door and came in. Holding two pieces of paper, he saw Qin Ran and directly handed them to her. “Should I bring back the things in your dormitory?”
While sitting on the chair and drinking milk, she read the papers handed to her.
It was a notice to live outside of the campus, signed by Dean Jiang.
The next one was a letter of guarantee, signed by Cheng Juan.
Glancing over, Cheng Mu said in surprise, “Miss Qin isn’t staying in school anymore? I’ll go and get the flowers back.”
Qin Ran casually crossed her legs and glanced at the school notice in her hand. It was always hard to go from extravagance to frugality. She could still bear it at the beginning of military training and could go to the mountain with heavy loads to roast a rabbit when she was bored.
But later on, after studying day and night, and coupled with the crowded school and noise, she didn’t manage to sleep well for a week. She seemed to have returned to her early days in middle school and got up to read with headphones at night.
She turned to look at Cheng Juan.
He folded his arms and raised an eyebrow, glancing at her with a straight face.

Not long after, Cheng Mu had already rushed to the bedroom to pick up Qin Ran’s flowers and other necessities.
He made an application with the Auntie. As soon as she saw the word “Cheng” on his ID card, she personally took him to the bedroom for Qin Ran’s stuff.
Cheng Mu didn’t even glance sideways along the way.
After arriving in the bedroom, he also consulted Nan Huiyao and the others before entering to collect Qin Ran’s things. He didn’t dare to look around and only focused on Qin Ran’s table.
There weren’t many things to bring. Other than the potted flower and her computer, there was also the manuscript written as ordered by Cheng Juan.
He didn’t bring back any clothes, since she had them in Ting Lan.
When Leng Peishan opened the door, she saw a familiar man’s back at Qin Ran’s table.
