The shop owner enthusiastically responded.
Jiang Ran noticed she wasn't speaking, his thin lips uttered
"Strawberry milk."
In no time, the ice cream was ready.
He took it and handed it to Su Yan.
Su Yan blinked her eyes, looked at Jiang Ran, then reached out to take it, and took a bite.
It was very cold, with a moderate sweetness.
She liked it very much.
So, she watched with a glimmer in her eyes, a faint smile, taking small bites.
Jiang Ran, seeing how much she liked it, lazily spoke,
"Is it that good?"
Su Yan nodded. Just as she lifted her head to speak, someone leaned in suddenly.
Because his movement was so sudden and she just happened to lift her head, her red lips lightly brushed against his sharp lips.
Su Yan was stunned.
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, his eyes deep, and lowered his head to take a bite of the ice cream.
His eyes met hers, scorching and intense.
After a long while, watching his throat move up and down, he spoke with a smile,
"It really is good."
Su Yan couldn't help but focus her attention on his lips.
Just now... they... she wanted to think deeper, but her head started to hurt, so she gave up.
Then she lowered her head, focusing on eating her ice cream.
Jiang Ran watched her soft and harmless appearance, and his gaze became even more intense.
As they ate, they walked in the direction of Su Yan's home.
Xiao Hua's system suddenly exclaimed,
"Congratulations, Host, for completing a task and earning one star."
Su Yan was momentarily stunned by Xiao Hua's inexplicable words. She looked up and saw a light golden star appear in front of her.
Xiao Hua, knowing her Host had doubts, spoke up,
"Host, when the three stars before you are all lit, it means you have become intimate with the male lead. At that time, as long as you help the male lead fulfill his wish, you can reclaim your God Fragment."
"Mm."
Su Yan responded softly, indicating she understood.
The journey from the school to Su Yan's house wasn't long.
Jiang Ran felt like no time had passed before he had already delivered her.
The warm and soft voice sounded beside him,
"We're here."
Su Yan tilted her head, blinking at him.
Jiang Ran reached out and handed her the backpack.
His movements were casual, making him appear laid-back.
"Go on in."
As he spoke, he was about to turn and leave, when a white hand caught his wrist.
"Wait, wait a minute."
Su Yan stepped forward, moving in front of Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran smiled,
"What is it?"
As he spoke, his gaze flicked to his wrist.
She blinked her eyes earnestly,
"Can you tell me what you dislike?"
Su Yan thought that since there were many things he liked, it would be impossible to understand them all at once.
It's better to find out what he dislikes to avoid being disliked herself.
Jiang Ran lowered his eyes, silently reaching out his other hand to hold her hand in his palm.
Indifferently,
"There are too many things I dislike, it's hard to say them all at once."
Su Yan listened, furrowed her brows, and rubbed her temples.
She couldn't help but say,
"If I do something you don't like, what should I do?"
She couldn't think it through, so she could only ask to find an answer.
Jiang Ran looked at her troubled expression.
His lips curled up, as he leaned in,
"What do you want to do to me?"
Su Yan rubbed her forehead, paused, and said,
"Something you'd like."
She slowly voiced her true thoughts.
This time, Jiang Ran was genuinely surprised.
Suddenly, he grasped her hand tightly and pulled her into his arms.
Her head bumped against his chest, causing a slight pain.
Through the white shirt, she heard the sound of Jiang Ran's laughing chest vibrating.
