"Take advantage of you?"
"That's right. You're not even that much older than me, but you want to be my Elder all the time."
Chu Yan put on a serious face and making himself look even more serious, he placed his hands behind his back. He said, "Three years is a generation apart. Even if I'm just a few years older than you, you should still call me Uncle."
Looking at Chu Yan's fair and handsome face, Ye Qingran couldn't help but tease, "Why don't you just ask me to call you Daddy?"
Of course, by "Daddy" she didn't actually mean father.
"Oh." Chu Yan looked down at her and said indifferently, "Then let me hear you call me that."
Ye Qingran was stunned.
She said in disbelief, "What kind of Daddy do you want to be? A biological Daddy, or a Sugar Daddy? Those two have completely different meanings."
Chu Yan's expression didn't change."Both are fine."
Ye Qingran looked at him quizzically."Do you really know what Daddy means?"
Chu Yan was silent. He didn't say anything.
No one knew what he meant.
A series of footsteps sounded and Chu Ruoruo ran down cheerfully.
When she saw Ye Qingran and Chu Yan in the living room, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. For some reason, she felt that there was a strange and ambiguous vibe between the two of them.
She looked around.
She looked at Chu Yan and then at Ye Qingran. Both of their expressions were the same and there was nothing unusual.
It was probably... her overthinking things.
After Chu Yan went upstairs, Ye Qingran told Chu Ruoruo about moving out."Ruoruo, thank you very much for this period of time. Now that the living situation has been settled, I'm prepared to move in over the next two days."
When she heard that Ye Qingran was going to leave, Chu Ruoruo couldn't help but cry."Brother Ran, I don't want you to leave."
Ye Qingran comforted her."It's good that a scumbag like me is leaving. You have to wake up and stop liking me."
Chu Ruoruo shook her head and was extremely sad."But I only like you, Brother Ran. Every time I'm with Brother Ran, I'm very happy."
Ye Qingran tried her best to persuade her."It's not easy to find a three-legged toad, but there are plenty of two-legged men on the streets. So, please don't hang yourself on this crooked tree."
Chu Ruoruo grabbed Ye Qingran's arm."If I don't lean on this tree, I don't think I'll fall in love anymore."
"Please don't say such silly things. I'm someone who aspires to be the king of the sea. You definitely can't say that you won't fall in love anymore with someone like me. As long as you climb out of this pit, you'll definitely find true love."
Falling in love with a fake man, one would never understand what love was.
Chu Ruoruo hesitated for a while."Alright then, I'll try to treat you as my older brother."
"That's right." Ye Qingran smiled happily.
She took out her phone and searched for photos of handsome men."Come, come, come. Let's see what kind of handsome man you like. Domineering CEO, elegant young master, muscular handsome man, ascetic prince, sports prince, or a two-dimensional beauty... I'll find you a good one."
She didn't want to let others know about her. She wanted to introduce such a good girl to her three brothers first.
The third brother had already been booked.
However, her oldest brother and second brother were still single. Whether it was their appearance or character, they seemed to be pretty good.
Perhaps, she could call Zi Xia along.
She could arrange a blind date for them.
Chu Ruoruo sniffled."I like good-looking men like you, Brother Ran."
Ye Qingran said in a deep voice, "Ruoruo, you can't just look at a man's face. The better-looking a man is, the more likely he is to lie."
Her face full of confusion, Chu Ruoruo gasped in surprise."Isn't it true that the better-looking a woman is, the more likely she is to lie?"
Ye Qingran wagged her finger."No, in the past, it was popular to seduce women. That's why there was such a saying. But now, society is different. Men are more prevalent. They are even more seductive than women. Often, when you aren't paying attention, they will beguile you with a honey trap, and you will never be able to extricate yourself from them."
"Brother Ran, you're so amazing. You know so much..."
Chu Ruoruo kissed up to Ye Qingran as usual.
At the end of her sentence, she added worriedly, "Brother Ran, as a boy living alone outside, you must protect yourself well."
"Of course."
Ye Qingran smiled gently."Otherwise, how would I find you a reliable little brother in the future? I'll definitely help you marry a handsome and wise man who treats you like a treasure."
Chu Yan stood at the stairs on the second floor. Like a lonely and cold picture of clear water, he appeared tall and cold.
The word "marry" made him laugh uncontrollably.
He instinctively moved towards the living room to take a look.
He sawmYe Qingran smiling at Chu Ruoruo. That smile was different from the usual perfunctory fake smile, teasing smile, and his signature subtle smile.
This smile came from the bottom of his heart, and it was a sincere smile.
Although this Ye Qingran had a glib tongue, his character was still decent.

At night, rain suddenly fell and made tapping sounds against the glass.
Ye Qingran was in the bedroom tidying up her things.
She found that she had a book. During the last tutoring session, she had accidentally left it in Chu Yan's study room.
Ye Qingran went to the door of the study room.
The door of the study room was locked.
Ye Qingran went to Chu Yan's bedroom again and knocked on the door a few times.
Not long after, the door was opened from the inside.
Chu Yan had just showered. He was wearing a white bathrobe and his hair was slightly wet with a few drops of water. He looked at Ye Qingran outside and asked, "What's the matter?"
The V-neck style of the bathrobe made his chest faintly visible.
It was completely different from his usual cold and cheerless aura. It was especially wild and alluring.
Ye Qingran was instantly stunned.
Her gaze slowly moved from Chu Yan's face to his chest, and then slowly moved down...
His beauty was too eye-catching.
It made people unable to help but fantasize.
Chu Yan noticed her gaze and tugged at his collar helplessly. He said again coldly, "Ye Qingran."
Ye Qingran looked up and couldn't help but sigh."If there's a saying that goes well, a boy must protect himself when he's outside. In the future, when you're bathing, don't open the door for others. What if you encounter someone with an ulterior motive?"
Chu Yan: "..."
The hand that was holding the door moved.
Ye Qingran thought he was going to close the door and immediately reached out to stop him. A smile appeared on her small face."No, no, no. I'm not here to peek on you."
Chu Yan looked at Ye Qingran and was at a loss for words."..."
Ye Qingran quickly told him her purpose."I'm sorry to have delayed your shower, but I really have something to look for you about. I dropped a book in your study and wanted to go get it, but the door to your study was locked."
Chu Yan looked at Ye Qingran deeply.
He didn't say anything else. He opened the door and walked out, bringing Ye Qingran to the study.
Ye Qingran said, "I'm not in a hurry. Do you want to blow out your hair before you go? I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."
Chu Yan said, "I'm not that fragile."
Ye Qingran said, "Is that so? But the feeling you give me really makes me want to protect you."
Chu Yan: "..."
