"Chen Ran..."
From afar, a hesitant yet resolute call suddenly came.
"Who?" Chen Ran was startled, turned his head sharply, and shouted.
"It's me." A slender figure slowly walked out.
The person who arrived was Shen Muli.
Under the moonlight, her beautiful face was pale.
She slowly walked up to Chen Ran.
She stared at Chen Ran, pain welling up in her beautiful eyes.
She gently bit her red lips and whispered, "I like you."
"Why?" Chen Ran frowned.
"Because you are the only man I can trust," Shen Muli insisted.
Chen Ran's pupils contracted sharply, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.
“Chen Ran, I hope you can act with me. Don’t worry, I won’t bother you. It’s just that I’m afraid, afraid that one day I (Wang Dezhao) won’t be able to control myself,” she continued.
Chen Ran took a deep breath, looked at Shen Muli, and solemnly said, "Okay."
A faint smile appeared on Shen Muli's lips.
She reached out her hand, wanting to touch Chen Ran.
"What are you doing?" Chen stepped back, frowning.
"Hold hands." Shen Muli said bluntly without any attempt to hide her feelings.
Chen Ran's body trembled, and a struggle flashed across his face.
He looked at Shen Muli for a long time, then whispered, "Is it alright?"

"Of course." A blush appeared on Shen Muli's face.
The two held hands and slowly walked towards the Su residence.
The entire journey was quiet.
"Chen Ran, thank you for tonight." Finally, Shen Muli broke the silence first.
"I should thank you for getting me out of that predicament," Chen Ran murmured, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he recalled his ordeal that day.
“This is my own choice,” Shen Muli shook her head.
"Why did you choose to believe me?" Chen Ran asked, puzzled.
“I…” Shen Muli’s eyes flickered slightly, and she hesitated before saying, “I can’t let them bully Uncle Su.”
Chen Ran pondered for a moment, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
For some reason, he felt that Shen Muli was acting strangely today.
But I can't quite put my finger on what's strange about it.
Finally, the two entered the Su residence in silence.
Su's parents had already gone to bed, so Chen Ran was arranged to stay in one of the Su family's courtyards.
After washing up, Chen Ran sat cross-legged on the bed and fell into deep thought.
The scenes from today began to flash through his mind.
He had to admit that Su Qianxi was very interested in him.
If it were any other man, he would probably have already fallen for her.
But unfortunately, he didn't like it.
Chen Ran sighed.
"There are all kinds of people in this world," Chen Ran said with a self-deprecating laugh.
"Bang bang bang..."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Ran raised an eyebrow and opened the door.
Shen Muli appeared at the door.
"Did you need something from me?" Chen Ran asked.
(afcf) "It's nothing." Shen Muli lowered her head.
Chen Ran looked at her and noticed that her eyes were red.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ran asked.
"Thanks to you for saving me tonight," Shen Muli said softly, her face filled with guilt.
"It was nothing," Chen Ran shook his head.
"Can...can you hug me?" she suddenly looked up.
"Ok?"
"Just once, please," Shen Muli pleaded.
Chen Ran remained silent, gazing at that beautiful and delicate face.
It was a beautiful face he had never seen before, yet it gave him a strong sense of familiarity.
"Are you... sure?" he asked softly.
"Mm." Shen Muli nodded.
Chen Ran looked at Shen Muli, his eyes flickering, and finally reached out to put his arm around her waist.
Shen Muli froze, feeling the warmth of Chen Ran's embrace.
Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Chen Ran held her in his arms, feeling her slender and soft waist, and his nose inexplicably felt sore.
"You are beautiful," he murmured, pulling Shen Muli into his arms.
Shen Muli was stunned, feeling the warmth of Chen Ran's chest.
Her tears could no longer be held back and streamed down her face.
She bit her lip tightly, afraid to cry out.
She felt Chen Ran's embrace and couldn't bear to push him away.
She... craved this fleeting moment of warmth.
Chen Ran was startled and quickly released Shen Muli.
However, Shen Muli grabbed his hand and placed it on her waist.
She looked up, her eyes glistening as she gazed at Chen Ran, and murmured, "Chen Ran, don't push me away. I... don't want to be disliked."
Chen Ran was taken aback, and a strange pity welled up in his eyes.
He nodded and said softly, "Okay."
Shen Muli smiled, her smile as bright and beautiful as a spring breeze.
She moved closer to Chen Ran and hugged him tightly.
This time, Chen Ran didn't dodge.
"Chen Ran, will we still be like tonight in the future?" she asked softly.
"Yes," Chen Ran nodded, answering without hesitation.
"Alright, then never push me away." Shen Muli's eyes shone as she whispered.
"it is good……"
"Chen Ran, do you like me?" Shen Muli asked softly, her voice filled with anticipation.
"You are very beautiful and have a good personality," Chen Ran replied truthfully.
"So, are you married?" Shen Muli asked.
Chen Ran was taken aback, then chuckled and shook his head.
"That's good." Shen Muli breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with joy.
"Wouldn't you call this forcibly taking laborers?" Chen Ran teased.

"Hehe." Shen Muli chuckled foolishly, feeling extremely satisfied.
