King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Since Ning Caicai had said so, Ye Lan had no way to refuse.

After all, they were roommates living under the same roof.

"Where are you now?" Ye Lan asked.

"I'm on the bus now, almost at the school gate. Come pick me up at the school gate."

"alright."

Ye Lan sighed, then flicked the cigarette butt away, opened her umbrella, and slowly walked towards the security room at the school gate.

Upon arriving at the security room, Ye Lan first explained her purpose, and then naturally took out the Blue Tower from her pocket.

He shook three cigarettes out of the pack and handed them to the three security guards in front of him.

Although the Blue Tower is just a pack of cigarettes worth about 20 yuan.

But in the eyes of these old men who only smoke Hongjinlong and Hongtashan cigarettes, they are also rare and good cigarettes.

Watching the three old men puffing away on their cigarettes.

Ye Lan felt a strong urge to try it, so she lit one for herself as well.

With the combined efforts of the four, the entire security room was filled with smoke.

It feels like a heavenly paradise.

Ye Lan smiled, feeling that she had finally found a circle of like-minded people.

An old man blew out a smoke ring and said to Ye Lan, "Young man, are you Teacher Ning's boyfriend?"

Ye Lan shook her head. "No, she and I are just ordinary friends who live together."

The old man was stunned when he heard this.

They live together, how can they still be ordinary friends?

play?

Just as everyone was chatting, a bus stopped at the bus stop next to the school gate.

Ning Caicai, dressed casually, came down from upstairs, put her hands above her head, and jogged to the security room.

"Holy crap, this smoke is so thick, are you planning to burn this place down?"

The four heavy smokers were incredibly strong; despite Ning Caicai's constant fanning, the smoke wouldn't dissipate.

Ning Caicai frowned, clearly very annoyed by the environment.

The three old men quickly stubbed out their cigarettes, grinned, and revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth.

Only Ye Lan continued to puff away on her cigarette, with an expression that showed she didn't care at all.

Then Ning Caicai's gaze fell on Ye Lan, but she did not blame her. Instead, she stretched out her right hand.

"Lend me your umbrella for a moment, I need to go to the office to get something."

Ye Lan handed over the umbrella she was holding.

Ning Caicai ran towards the teaching building with an umbrella in hand.

"You lent her your umbrella, and you still say you're not boyfriend and girlfriend." An old man lying on a chair said with a gossipy expression.

Ye Lan was taken aback: "Is there any necessary connection between the two?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Of course, everyone in the school knows that Ning Caicai has never used any other boy's things."

"why?"

"Because she's a germaphobe. She never uses chalk in class; she always uses a learning tablet!"

Ye Lan stared wide-eyed, frozen in place. "She has mysophobia, really?"

Seeing that Ye Lan's blank expression wasn't feigned, the old man asked curiously:

"How long have you two been together? You didn't even know she had OCD?"

"We both moved into the same dorm last week, and I've never heard her mention having OCD!"

The three old men looked at each other, and suddenly one of them said with certainty.

"That's right, true love!"

Immediately afterward, an old man said:

"That's right, that's right. My old woman used to dislike people who drink and smoke the most, but she still chose me."

"I guess Teacher Ning and you are in the same situation."

Ye Lan was speechless. Why don't I believe it?

If Ning Caicai is a germaphobe, then she definitely wouldn't cook.

After all, the oil and grease stains produced by cooking are much dirtier than other things.

Just then, Ning Caicai walked back carrying a light pink bag.

She skipped and hopped like a little kid to Ye Lan, her smile radiant.

"Let's go home together."

The other three old men smiled like doting aunts when they saw this.

No wonder she said she wasn't his boyfriend; they're practically a couple already!

Ye Lan sighed and took the umbrella from Ning Caicai's hand.

Ning Caicai took the opportunity to put her arm around Ye Lan's arm, and the two slowly disappeared into the rain.

The heads of the three old men were piled up on the door frame like a human pyramid.

With a smile on his face.

"What a perfect couple!"

Because of the rain today, the lights, which are usually turned on at night, were turned on earlier than usual.

The colorful lights were reflected in the puddles along the street. As raindrops fell, the lights spread out in circles, as beautiful as fireworks.

Because the umbrella was too small, Ning Caicai's head was pressed tightly against Ye Lan's chest.

The two were so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

Ning Caicai's heart was beating fast and erratically, pounding like a deer's.

Suddenly, she raised her face and asked, somewhat displeased:

"I'm holding you like this, why isn't your heart beating faster?"

Ye Lan didn't speak, but that was the best answer.

"Can you please stop smoking? You smell like smoke all over you, and it's so awful when I hug you."

Ning Caicai buried her head in Ye Lan's trench coat again, like a little kitten.

Ye Lan did not stop the other party's behavior and continued to move forward steadily.

"The old man at the security office said you have OCD?"

"No, they're lying to them."

Why lie?

"Because those men are all too annoying, always trying to curry favor with me, which I don't like, so I used this as an excuse to make them keep their distance from me."

When Ning Caicai said this, her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her bright eyes.

These suitors have absolutely no sense of boundaries.

It repeatedly disrupted her normal life.

Not disturbing other people's normal lives is the bare minimum guarantee.

Even celebrities don't like fans interfering with their private lives, let alone an ordinary person like her!

"Ye Lan, do you have a girlfriend?"

Suddenly, Ning Caicai whispered.

"No."

"Would you mind having another girlfriend?"

"mind."

"why?"

"Because in that case, I'll have to pay the rent all by myself."

Ning Caicai burst into laughter upon hearing this, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

"How can you be so smart? I still couldn't fool you. You saw right through my little scheme."

The two walked to the subway and took the train home.

That evening, as if nothing had happened, Ning Caicai cooked and Ye Lan washed the dishes as usual.

After dinner, Ye Lan streamed until midnight.

After turning off the live stream, Ye Lan went to the balcony.

The rain that fell during the day had stopped, and the cool breeze that blew in at night made one feel chilly.

My heart felt slightly cool, but my lungs were burning hot.

Ye Lan smoked a cigarette, gazing at the distant skyscrapers, her mind replaying her conversation with Ning Caicai and Ren Yingying.

Two girls confessed their love to me in one day?

My mind is calm, but my thoughts are a bit chaotic.
