Perhaps it was a misperception; it was easy for people to get the wrong idea of the last two words heavily emphasised by Xu Hao.
Xu Hao: It’s not a misperception. Thanks.
Yun Shu felt her face heat up and pretended that nothing had happened. “Oh.”
On the other side, Fu Ran was no better. His face was red and black. He looked at Xu Hao with a fierce gaze as if he wanted to kill him.
Xu Hao held his cup and laughed even merrily.
While the two of them were too shy to care about anything else, he meticulously surveyed Yun Shu.
Xu Hao had seen Yun Shu before, in person and from her work. However, most of the time, she wore makeup because she was a celebrity. Xu Hao acknowledged that Yun Shu was beautiful, and her beauty was one of the best in the entertainment industry. However, due to the makeup, Xu Hao had doubts about her beauty, and naturally, he didn’t quite understand why Fu Ran fell in love at first sight.
But now that he had a look at Yun Shu’s bare face, he instantly understood Fu Ran.
His eyes wandered around Yun Shu’s face, and he took another sip of water. He felt that the water had suddenly become sweet. He could better understand why Fu Ran—a late-in-life virgin— fell in love at first sight and his notions evoked by lust.
Hence, he suddenly began to be considerate of Fu Ran. He decided not to stay any longer, which would hinder Fu Ran and Yun Shu from spending time together. He said a few words and left. Before leaving, he deliberately drove Fu Ran away in anger and then sneakily told Yun Shu something.
“Fu Ran has never dated anyone before, nor has he ever been with any one of the opposite gender other than his mother. So if he has done something wrong, please be a little more understanding and talk to him candidly. One more thing, don’t see that he looks fierce. He is actually quite shy. You can “bully” him a bit.”
Yun Shu, “!!!”
The word “bully” was heavily emphasised by him, which also caused others to have the wrong idea. However, Yun Shu’s focus was temporarily not on the latter sentence but on the former.
— Fu Ran has never dated before, nor has he ever been with any one of the opposite gender except his mother…
Yun Shu: He hasn’t even dated before?!!
The original novel didn’t say much about this. It only stated that the male lead already had a lover when he made his appearance. Therefore, this novel was labelled “both of them are not virgins.” When one saw this label and because the male lead already had a lover, one would naturally not think that his romantic experience would be very, very little.
In fact, there was a paragraph in the original novel to the effect that Fu Ran said that the female lead was the only woman he had ever loved.
Yun Shu thus thought that Fu Ran had many girlfriends, and he was only genuinely in love with the female lead.
Who would have thought that the male lead had actually dated two women from the beginning to the end?
Yun Shu was in an inexplicably good mood. Although the male lead was only destined to show his true feelings for the female lead, he was currently physically and mentally pure. Even though Yun Shu didn’t really mind this, she just felt like she got a bargain.
—Of course, she only felt this way now…
After sending Xu Hao away, Yun Shu skipped off to find Fu Ran. She intended to bully Fu Ran and see if he was really so easily bullied like what Xu Hao had said.
Then… Then, she saw Fu Ran wearing pyjama trousers without a top.
“!!!”
Yun Shu was struck hard by the beauty in front of her. She hurriedly covered her itching nose and wanted to walk away to deal with her nose before she made a fool of herself. However, she couldn’t bear to part from the beautiful scene in front of her.
While she was feeling conflicted, she heard Fu Ran say through gritted teeth, “Xu Hao, you only brought me the pyjama trousers and not the top.”
He went to take a shower to calm down after being angry with Xu Hao and then realised… Xu Hao, you are so despicable!
Yun Shu: GOOD JOB, Xu Hao! <sup>[1]</sup>
<sup>[1]</sup> Here, “good job” was in English and capitalised in the raw.
