Yu Xiaoxiao was startled by the sudden slap on her shoulder.
Just as she turned to angrily see who was so bold, she saw Ruan Lan's familiar face and said guiltily, "Wha-why is it you..."
Hu Yanjie felt even more guilty. He had once pursued Ruan Lan without success, only to later realize that her best friend, Yu Xiaoxiao, was his true love. He had then bravely pursued her. But no matter how he looked at it, his behavior was that of a scumbag.
In a moment of inexplicable courage, he gripped Yu Xiaoxiao's struggling hand and shouted, "Ruan Lan, I genuinely like Xiaoxiao! Please, let us be!"
"???"
Ruan Lan was baffled. Am I some kind of matchmaker who can sever the red thread of fate binding the two of you?
She pushed Hu Yanjie away and stared at Yu Xiaoxiao, who grew even more remorseful. "Ruan Lan, I'm sorry, I..."
"Kid, you finally found a boyfriend! Your daddy is so relieved," Ruan Lan said with heartfelt emotion.
"..."
Yu Xiaoxiao cautiously asked, "You're not angry?"
