“Poxiao, what exactly do you want to see? I’ve brought her here. If you want to look, look quickly!” Yue Xiye said impatiently, feeling annoyed seeing Qin Poxiao’s mischievous look. “Little bunny, this is that idle Qin Poxiao. Poxiao, this is Yu Yelan. You’ve seen her, right?”
“Hehe, little bunny, let me tell you a secret – I’ve never seen Wild this big ice block be so anxious for any girl before!” Noticing Yu Yelan timidly hiding behind Yue Xiye, Qin Poxiao walked out from behind the desk with a charming smile, circling around to carefully observe what was special about her.
“Ye, don’t be reluctant to part with the little rabbit; the meeting is about to start, and everyone is waiting for you!” Qin Poxiao walked towards the conference room, not missing the opportunity to tease Yue Xiye.
“Damn!” Yue Xiye cursed, and the people going to the conference room giggled and looked at him, with some even laughing out loud. He quickly withdrew his hand that was holding Yu Yelan’s chin, noticing tears beginning to well up in Yu Yelan’s eyes. “I’m not talking about you; I’m talking about that guy Qin Poxiao.”
I’m going to a meeting. Are you going to wait here for me to go back together, or are you going back first?”
“I’ll wait here,” Yu Yelan answered quickly, placing her hands on her knees in a well-behaved posture. “Big Brother Yue, you go to the meeting, I’ll wait obediently here!”
“Okay, if you’re thirsty or hungry, go over there to get something. There’s everything in the refrigerator,” Yue Xiye pointed to the small kitchen at the corner.
“I know, Big Brother Yue, you sound like an old lady!” Yu Yelan pouted and complained, but her heart was sweet.
“Ye, hurry up, or should we move the meeting location over there?” Qin Boxiao stuck his head out from the conference room.
Yue Xiye stood up, but instead of going to the conference room, he went to the small kitchen and poured a glass of juice.
“Oh, I’ll wait here for Big Brother Yue to take me around!” Yu Yelan took a sip of the cold orange juice, a shallow dimple appearing at the corner of her lips.
Yue Xiye finally entered the conference room. He swore it wasn’t that he was being oversensitive, but that this little rabbit was too easily startled. Now that she was living with him, it had become his responsibility. How could he not care?
Yue Xiye found reasons for his fussiness.
Since school hadn’t started yet, there were few people in the student union office building. Besides the group in the conference room, only Yu Yelan sat in the tatami room, continuously looking at the conference room door, expecting it to suddenly open with Big Brother Yue walking out, patting her head and saying, “Little rabbit, we can go now.”
The past, whether pleasant or unpleasant, was gradually fading away. This life had just begun, but she had already found her balance. She was still the introverted, unremarkable Yu Yelan, but she had met Big Brother Yue, who was the best to her after her father. Although he looked fierce, he was good to her and good to little Lan.
Yu Yelan closed her eyes and revealed a happy, satisfied smile.
The male student looked amusedly at Yu Yelan’s reaction, and instead of sitting on the spacious sofas, he squeezed onto the single sofa where Yu Yelan was sitting, casually draping his arm around her shoulder as if he had done this many times before.
Yu Yelan trembled, trying to escape the male student’s arm but failing, her timid appearance making his laughter more unbridled.
Seeing her panic-stricken eyes about to burst into tears, the laughter in his eyes became even more obvious. “Want to date me? I’ll treat my girlfriend very well!”
“No… no… you… can you sit over there?” Yu Yelan had curled her body into a tiny ball, still unable to escape the male student’s touch. “Let me go… let me go…”
The male student raised his thick, resolute eyebrows. He had never seen anyone speak like this, clearly terrified but trying to appear calm! This only made him more interested in this girl who was like a startled rabbit. “I promised you earlier that if you help me dodge that horrible sticky candy, I’ll date you for three days. Let’s start from tomorrow!” The male student concluded before Yu Yelan could speak. “I’m Yang Tongjing. From now on, ‘Jing’ will be your exclusive way of addressing me!”
“No… no need…” Tears swirled in her eyes, Yu Yelan bit her lip, fearfully looking at this seemingly abnormal male student, not understanding what he was mumbling about.
“How can you be like this! Deceiving a young man’s pure heart is unacceptable. You’re already my girlfriend now, come, let me stamp my claim to prevent you from getting lost!” Saying this, Yang Tongjing leaned in with a playful, teasing smile.
“No… don’t do this…” A mosquito-like timid refusal, Yu Yelan felt her shoulder being painfully gripped. She closed her eyes and cried out in terror: “Yue-ge! Yue-ge, I’m so scared!”
“Her voice had just risen slightly before dissolving completely into sobs.

The next second, Yang Tongjing was punched away, lying on the opposite sofa with a purple panda eye.
Feeling the pressure beside her disappear, Yu Yelan opened her eyes, still trembling, and saw Yue Xiye with a dark face, angrily glaring at Yang Tongjing sprawled on the sofa, his eyes blazing with fire.
Seeing Yue Xiye’s fist about to strike again, Yu Yelan quickly grabbed him, “Yue-ge, that’s enough, don’t hit him anymore, Yue-ge, Yue-ge!”
Hearing the increasingly thick crying tone in Yu Yelan’s voice, Yue Xiye gritted his teeth, unclenched his fist, and turned to wrap his arm around Yu Yelan’s shoulder. “It’s okay, little rabbit, don’t be afraid, the bad guy is gone!”
“Woo… woo… Yue-ge, I’m so scared, I’m still so scared!” Yu Yelan hugged Yue Xiye’s waist and wailed.
“Hey, aren’t you being a bit too dramatic! I was just joking with her, is this necessary? There are plenty of girls waiting for Young Master me to take a fancy to, why would I need to force myself?” Yang Tongjing lay on the sofa, crossing his legs and swaying, completely unconcerned about Yue Xiye’s anger.
“May I ask what brings Young Master Yang here?
“Having watched enough of the drama, Qin Boxiao stepped forward, worried that if the provocation continued, the student council room would turn into a crime scene!
“Qin Boxiao!” Yang Tongjing immediately recognized the tall, outstanding male student. Though they had never formally met, he was familiar with this boy who was also on the Cang Li Beautiful Youth Ranking, reportedly excellent and ruling Liufeng High School with an iron fist.
Shut up! Little Rabbit is not someone you can joke about. Stay away from Little Rabbit in the future!” Yue Xiye’s fist clenched again, his face dark as he warned Yang Tongjing, “Your list of romantic conquests is already long enough. Little Rabbit will not become part of it!”
“The welfare of Liufeng High School girls has arrived, and all the beautiful boys from Cang Li City are here. Tsk tsk, who’s so bold to challenge me? Oh, it’s our Yue Xiye, the only poor beautiful boy on the ranking list!” Yang Tongjing’s gaze shifted to Wei Qingyang, who had just woken up from a nap in the meeting room and found everyone had dispersed.”
“Young Master Yang, let me give you a friendly advice. This is not the Yang family’s territory. Liufeng High School has rules. My friendly warning is: do not provoke Yue Xiye.” Qin Poxiao’s smile didn’t fade, but his eyes were ice-cold. He most despised people who went around causing trouble for no reason.

Yes, he was also such a person, but he would never do something as tasteless as Yang Tongjing – teasing Little Rabbit, scaring her like that, and daring to treat his good friend with such a contemptuous attitude.
