Ye Yan discovered a secret, that is, Xu Qingran was actually afraid of watching horror movies.

The two of them chose an old movie that left a trauma in many people's childhood, and then snuggled up on the sofa to watch it immersively.

Ye Yan was watching with great interest, but Xu Qingran was different. He kept holding Ye Yan's arm and never let go.

"Oh my god! What the hell!"

As a crow suddenly flew in front of the camera on TV, Xu Qingran suddenly uttered sweet words and turned his head to bury his face in Ye Yan's shoulder, holding his arm tightly.

Ye Yan was dumbfounded. She turned around and looked at the handsome guy leaning on her shoulder and said calmly:

"It's just a bird, be good, don't be afraid."

"Birds?"

After hearing Ye Yan's words, Xu Qingran immediately raised his head. After making sure that there was no horrific scene on the screen, he cleared his throat slightly awkwardly and deliberately.

"Ahem... As for me, I've never had much interest in this kind of subject matter since I was a child. I actually like comedy movies."

He was still looking for excuses to save face, but he didn't expect that the real ghost appeared on the screen just after he finished speaking, with long hair, white clothes, and special effects makeup. He was so scared that he pounced on Ye Yan again and hugged her tightly.

"It's too scary, don't watch it! You'll have nightmares."

As Xu Qingran spoke, he raised his hand to block Ye Yan's eyes, as if he was very concerned about his mental health and was afraid that it would leave a shadow on him.

But it was obvious that he was overthinking it. Not only was Ye Yan not afraid, she couldn't understand why Xu Qingran was afraid.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were afraid of horror movies?"

Ye Yan pressed pause and looked back at him speechlessly and asked. This was the truth, but Xu Qingran didn't like to hear it. It was an insult to his male pride.

"I'm not afraid, I respect ghosts and gods, but why aren't you afraid? Didn't a small fish in the water scare you into jumping?"

While Xu Qingran was defending his own dignity, he did not forget to question Ye Yan's contradictory courage. Coincidentally, Ye Yan didn't like what he said, and a small flame suddenly ignited in her originally calm eyes.

"Try bringing that up again? No one would think you're dumb if you didn't speak, so when are you going back to City A? Are you serious when you say you don't want to leave?"

Ye Yan changed the subject, stared into Xu Qingran's eyes seriously, and suddenly asked him for an answer.

Xu Qingran was stunned. She thought, aren't we watching a movie? After the movie, we should go to bed together or something like that. Why would she attack so suddenly?

"It's true that I don't want to leave, but if I really don't leave, it will be difficult for my mother to deal with it. Can you give me a little more time? I will try to discuss and resolve this matter with her as soon as possible. Do you really want me to stay with you?"

After thinking of this possibility, Xu Qingran could no longer hide his inner joy. He silently reached out his hand to Ye Yan's waist and gently hugged her, his eyes becoming increasingly charming.

Do you want him to stay by your side? The answer is yes. After all, Ye Yan was the first to fall in love with them. He couldn't explain why he liked Xu Qingran, but he just felt that every aspect of him was what he wanted. If someone like this could accompany him every day, he would definitely be the happiest.

So after this brief separation, Ye Yan was reluctant to let him go. After staring at each other in silence for a moment, she suddenly pushed Xu Qingran down, pounced on him, and rested her face on his chest.

Xu Qingran's body suddenly stiffened and he wished his heart would stop beating immediately, because in this position Ye Yan's ear was pressed against his chest.

"Nonsense, who likes to be apart when they're in love, unless it's fake. Xu Qingran, it would be great if you could always be my assistant. If you don't have money, I can support you. There are only a handful of rich young masters who come out to experience life, how come I happened to meet one..."

Ye Yan lay on Xu Qingran's chest and murmured. He seemed a little sleepy, with fatigue in his eyes, and it seemed that he was worried about Xu Qingran's identity.

As the only son and the sole heir of the Xu family, their future was destined to be one of less time together and more separation, or even greater difficulties.

Xu Qingran might not understand what Ye Yan was worried about. He thought that he was just unhappy because he didn't want to end their previous relationship. This was proof that Ye Yan loved him. He was very happy and raised his hand to caress Ye Yan's soft hair lovingly.

"What's wrong with being a rich kid? He's the perfect match for a big star, right? Or are you still worried that my parents will force me into a business marriage?"

"This is a very realistic question. I can't help but think about it. How far can you go in front of your parents for me? What if they force you to break off relations with them? What will you do?"

"Your question is too extreme and too absolute. There's no need to think so badly. I believe I can convince them to let me fall in love freely. You really don't need to worry so much. It will hurt me."

Ye Yan was clearly indirectly asking him which one to choose between his parents and me. He was not sure whether Xu Qingran understood his implication, but Xu Qingran's answer really touched his emotional side.

Who would have thought that he would say the word "heartache"? At this moment, Ye Yan's evaluation of Xu Qingran in his heart was only three words: love-brained.

"Do you feel bad that I'm overthinking and suspicious?"

Ye Yan looked up at Xu Qingran's face and asked. He was happy, but deliberately kept a blank expression.

This is one of Ye Yan's shortcomings, that is, he does not easily express joy and sadness, making it difficult for people to see through his true emotions at the moment.

"Yes, I don't want you to be troubled by those things. You already work very hard. You should use your free time to rest and enjoy life instead of making yourself uncomfortable. Trust me, okay? I won't let you down."

Xu Qingran was very happy because Ye Yan was troubled by his family, which was proof that she was very eager to be with him.

But while being happy, Xu Qingran also sensed the lack of security in Ye Yan's heart. He was not just saying it casually, he was really worried.

"It doesn't matter whether I believe you or not. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to help but think of the worst-case scenario. That's just how I am. Just get used to it. It's getting late, so go get some sleep. You should be rushing back early tomorrow morning."

Ye Yan smiled as he watched Xu Qingran stroking his well-defined jaw with her fingertips. The next second, his wrist was held by Xu Qingran, and a hand was put around his waist to prevent him from getting up.

"What?"

"A little separation makes the heart grow fonder. Can you not go to bed so early?"

"What do you want to do?"

Ye Yan stared straight into Xu Qingran's eyes and asked calmly, but the slight redness behind his ears betrayed his true emotions at the moment. The hand held by Xu Qingran also curled up unconsciously. He was actually not that calm.

Xu Qingran saw that he was secretly blushing, but she didn't expose him. She suppressed her smile and whispered, "I want to make you happy..."

The precise attack made Ye Yan's pupils tremble.
