The Blackened Male Leads All Want Me - Chapter 20

Chapter 20: The School Prince Has Been Stirred (19)

Su Yan walked down the long corridor. Halfway, a person suddenly appeared.

And almost ran into her.

She stopped walking and glanced at the approaching person. Then, a warm and tender smile surfaced on her face.

“Jiang Ran”

Her voice was faint and as gentle as her personality.

Jiang Ran tried to ignore his thumping heart with all his might.

He peered at Su Yan. The evil aura shrouding him was replaced by a gentle demeanor.

“Where are you headed?”

Su Yan pointed toward the staff room.

“The chemistry teacher wanted me to find him.”

A trace of regret flashed past Jiang Ran’s eyes. He had hoped that she was looking for him.

He didn’t reply, and both of them fell silent.

After a pause, he spoke up, “Do you have anything to say to me?”

Su Yan blinked her eyes and recalled her conversation with Yao Yufei near the stairwell a while back.

“Er… Do you have someone you like?”

When Jiang Ran heard this, he smirked.

Bending over, he closed in on Su Yan.

The two of them were only inches away, his breaths blending with hers.

His pitch-black eyes seemed to ponder the subtleties of life as they gleamed, a poorly-controlled fire surfacing within them.

“I do.”

Su Yan licked the corner of her lips before nodding her head.

She didn’t say another word.

Jiang Ran was a little dissatisfied with her dull response.

Reaching out a hand to tug at the butterfly bow around Su Yan’s neck, he asked, “Why aren’t you asking more questions?”

“About what?”

“Ask me who the person I like is.”

Every time he spoke, he inched closer and closer to her, until the gap between them was so small that he could reach her lips by tilting the angle of his head.

The scent of strawberry milk taffies wafted from her body and melded between their breaths– a result of her compulsive candy-eating habits.

Su Yan didn’t seem to notice the ambiguous atmosphere between them.

She simply replied earnestly, “Is it Yao Yufei?”

When Jiang Ran heard the sudden mention of that name, he furrowed his brows.

“Why do you bring her up? What does this have to do with her?”

“Er… They all say that you like Yao Yufei.”

“You believe that?”

“I’m… neutral. So I decided to ask.”

He stared at the girl standing before him.

He didn’t know why his heart was starting to stir with greater intensity.

After a moment of thought, he straightened his body abruptly, maintaining a distance between Su Yan.

He knitted his brows and suddenly posed a question with a stern expression on his face, “Where’s your strawberry milk taffy?”

Su Yan dug her pockets and pulled one out, “You want one?”

He took the taffy and peeled off the wrapper before raising his hand to stuff it into Su Yan’s mouth.

“Oh…”

She hadn’t reacted in time and was force-fed another candy again.

Seeing the creases on her tiny face…

Finally, Jiang Ran’s restless heart was calmed slightly.

Gripping the candy wrapper, he shoved his hands into his pockets.

“I don’t like.”

“Oh… Mm? What did you say?”

Su Yan asked while chewing on the taffy.

He asked with a wicked expression, “What do you think I said?”

After a period of time, his restless heart had finally been pacified.

Following which, he said, “Weren’t you on your way to the staff room to look for a teacher? Hurry on then.”

He extended a hand and pressed against her back, giving her a tiny push.

She turned back to glance at Jiang Ran once more.

He was standing there, both hands in his pockets. The manner in which he wore his school uniform emitted an unruly and indolent vibe.

Beams of sunlight shone down bathing him in golden light, it was a particularly eye-catching sight.

She gnawed on the strawberry milk taffy as she recalled the instructions given to her by the chemistry teacher. In the end, she turned around and walked toward the staff room.

Jiang Ran only turned back toward his classroom once he saw her near the staff room.

Su Yan reached the staff room door. When she recalled her encounter when Jiang Ran, she found the situation rather baffling.
