Chapter 6 - Turned the Male Lead Green (6)

 

Chu Nan had been praised by too many people in this lifetime. His family background was too good, so those people who wanted to ingratiate themselves with his parents or even his retired grandparents would meaningless face the wind and flatter him (1) without reason.

 

But those people’s praises were just like honey coated lollies made out of plastic. Seemingly glamorous, they would break as soon as you touched them and couldn’t stand deliberation.

 

It was still Ran Yan who was the best, every one of her words hitting the deepest part of his heart.

 

But there were still so many people here. Little Psycho praising him like this... wasn't it a bit unsuitable?

 

Chu Nan’s suppressed his joy, and said with a hint of amorousness, “Ran Yan, you’re overpraising me.”

 

How could Ruan Yan not tell that Chu Nan was saying one thing but thinking the other, and was actually extremely happy in his heart?

 

He’d hoped that his target’s mood would turn slightly better, otherwise, who would want to act amorous and be together with a person who emitted pressure all day?

 

Ruan Yan said, “Didn’t overpraise~ I didn’t overpraise. Chu Nan, is it possible that you want me to lie ba~?”

 

As he spoke, he specially hooked Chu Nan with his eyes, as if asking why he would bully him.

 

Ruan Yan’s personality was usually calm and serene, the emotion in his eyes reflecting his personality. But now, a rich display of colors and lights ran through it, reflecting affection amidst gentleness.

 

But this was not just because his acting was good. Ruan Yan’s eyes just happened to be peach blossom eyes; when he didn’t smile, they appeared extra icy and unapproachable, but as soon as he smiled, it would ensnare people.

 

With a “shua”, Chu Nan’s heart filled to the brim. This Little Psycho, in what way was she trying to run into his heart? She was born into it alright?!

 

His eyes slightly sunk, “I won’t force you.”

 

Ju Ping expressed his wonder at the side; He was very clear about Brother Chu’s temper, and being able to calm him so easily, it seemed that this Ran Yan really had two brushes! (2)

 

But hadn’t Brother Chu always liked those types of clever, studious beauties?

 

Anyways, Ju Ping didn’t care about how the hormones produced during puberty worked and sincerely suggested, “What are good grades worth nowadays? Wouldn’t you still be working for someone else in the future? How about this, since Ran Yan needs to deal with the test, then why don’t we just let that Ruan Yan help tutor her a bit? Ai, I’ll go talk with him about it.”

 

Ruan Yan found his words ear piercing and glared at Ju Ping.

 

His grades were good so he had to go do temporary work tutoring 'her'? Could he even afford to invite him?

 

Chu Nan mistakenly thought that he was tempted by the idea, and clenched his fists tightly as he said, “Little…”

 

Ruan Yan didn’t wait for him to finish before taking out the name card he’d given to himself today, shaking it before Chu Nan and Ju Ping, “Here is Ruan Yan’s contact information, you don’t need to look for him anymore.”

 

Chu Nan’s expression turned uglier. That sickening leacher. Which proper Senior High student would bring name cards around with them?

 

Ju Ping was extremely excited and didn’t take note of Chu Nan’s mood for a moment, “It’s good as long as we have the contact information.”

 

“But I don’t want it.” Ruan Yan softly spoke, his voice extremely pleasing to the ears. It was only that it was intentionally relaxed and that the last syllable was slightly raised, making it sound slightly flirtatious.

 

Then, before Chu Nan's eyes, his fingers slightly curved and slowly ripped Ruan Yan’s name card to pieces. Then giving Ju Ping a side eye, he said, “I don’t want anyone else to help me study, nor do I want anyone else’s contact information. I belong to Class 9 and I definitely won’t mix with those people from Class 1.”

 

Ruan Yan knew that Chu Nan didn’t like the students in Class 1 and specially catered to his tastes just now, even adding, “Not to mention that some people might be good at studying, but their personalities aren’t necessarily good. I won’t go with him.”

 

These words made Chu Nan feel extremely satisfied and comfortable, thinking that Ran Yan was smart and sensible, being able to see through Ruan Yan’s face with a single glance.

 

Ju Ping opened his mouth wide, “Whose personality isn’t good?”

 

Chu Nan directly stuffed the basketball at him and said, “Why are you asking so much?”

 

He deeply looked at Ruan Yan. She'd only just torn a name card and yet her hands had turned red, how could there be such a delicate little pervert ne?”

 

“Ran Yan, in the future, if you have any questions you don’t understand, come to look for me first. I’ll help you.”

 

Ruan Yan nodded his head and obediently agreed.

 

Though he didn’t understand where Chu Nan’s confidence in studying came from either, but it didn’t hinder the fact that he was a “brainless flower vase” right now, praising Chu Nan everywhere.

 

When afternoon came and school was over, Ruan Yan didn’t wait for Chu Nan.

 

Ran Yan’s family background was ordinary, but Ruan Yan himself lived in a large villa. If Chu Nan walked home together with him, then there would inevitably be some difficulties.

 

When Ruan Yan passed the school gates, he incidentally caught sight of someone who usually played basketball with Chu Nan – Chen Si Ning.

 

“Brother Chu’s going to go look for the transfer student?”

 

“Yeah, Brother Chu made people go around and search for that transfer student everywhere today. Everyone says that they didn’t see the transfer student going out of the school gates, so Brother Chu’s currently searching for him around the school.”

 

“They became enemies with each other?”

 

“Not sure. Let’s go, Brother Chu knows his limits and won’t make anything big out of this anyways.”

 

Ruan Yan stopped his footsteps. Chu Nan’s movements were still quite quick, trying to find trouble with him so soon.

 

But he wasn’t scared at all. It was exactly the opposite, he really wanted to quickly finish the tasks earlier.

 

Ruan Yan didn’t have any hesitation as he turned around and headed back to the school.

 

Chu Nan was currently searching by himself at the places where Ruan Yan was likely to appear. There was no one in Class 1, no one in the computer labs, no one in the gardens…

 

A transfer student whose grades were said to be top notch, what was he so infatuated with? Deciding to stay at a new school on his first day there, and not going home on time?

 

Chu Nan’s face sunk, and he stepped into the library.

 

Qin Lin High’s library was very luxurious and wasn’t worse than 985’s (3) library at all.

 

He scanned his student card, going past the rows of white reading desks.

 

There wasn’t even the shadow of a person in the library right now. Chu Nan almost thought that Ruan Yan, that bastard, wasn’t here and might’ve mixed into the girl’s dormitories.

 

“Talking loudly is forbidden in the library. Footsteps are to be lightened, and you are to read books in a civilised manner. Have you never seen this sign before?”

 

A cold, icy voice sounded, and Chu Nan walked towards the source of the voice. He saw Ruan Yan standing by the window.

 

He wore the same clothes as this morning. The dappled sunlight gently flooded in from the window through the cracks in the leaves, softly landing on his face as if sprouting warmth from icy jade.

 

Ruan Yan’s slender fingers were pointing to the blue sign on the table. His pale white fingers turned slightly red from merely tapping it a few times.

 

Chu Nan didn’t consider it worthwhile, he really was delicate and feminine (4).

 

He got straight to the point and without saying anything else, started, “You harassed a female student this morning. Which arm do you want to break?”

 

Ruan Yan’s pretty brows scrunched up, seemingly thinking, “Female student? Who are you talking about?”

 

Chu Nan’s face turned gloomy. His Little Psycho was bullied yet the assailant had completely forgotten about it.

 

Ruan Yan really understood Chu Nan’s nature too much. If he wanted to placate him then he could do it without any difficulty. If he wanted to provoke him, then he could do it faster than anyone else.

 

He seemingly suddenly came to a realisation and said, “You’re talking about that pink dressed Little Fruit! I didn’t harass her. I like beauty, everybody’s like that, so why can’t I pursue her?”

 

If he really wanted to pursue her, then would he really use that kind of icy, frivolous tone to call a person a fruit?

 

Fruits were just waiting to be picked.

 

Chu Nan coldly laughed, a trace of perverseness between his brows. “Pursue her? Three sets of keys can be made using 10 Yuan, what are you worth?”

 

Ruan Yan still replied in a cold and polite tone, “My family has a couple of lock producing factories, I don’t know which type of key you are talking about?”

 

The hidden meaning of the words was that if he wasn’t worthy, then no one was worthy.

 

Blue veins appeared on Chu Nan’s fist. Ruan Yan glanced over it and seemingly said without fear, “That pink dressed fruit was called Ran Yan? I heard that her parents view her studying very importantly. In that case, I think that she’s more suited for people with good grades.”

 

Chu Nan originally wanted to smash his way over with a fist, now, he could only put down his fist. “How did you know?”

 

It was only his first day transferring over!

 

Ruan Yan secretly thought, because I am Ran Yan!

 

He said, “If you want to pursue a girl, then you must first find out about her in many ways. Only by understanding her can you understand yourself and others, unable to be defeated in a hundred battles. You… Pardon me for being straightforward, but you’re a bit far from it.”

 

Chu Nan definitely wouldn’t listen to his lies. He and his Little Psycho shared so many secrets.

 

“You understand her, but have you tried to understand me?”

 

Based on Chu Nan’s family background, even if he hit Ruan Yan, he still wouldn’t have to face punishments such as being expelled from the school.

 

Currently, he was like a lion in a violent rage. In order to protect his lioness, he prepared to step forward and send out a punch.

 

Ruan Yan remained calm, merely pressing down on the play button of the recording on his phone.

 

“That pink dressed fruit was called Ran Yan…”

 

“How did you know?”

 

The two’s conversation just now had been recorded down without a single word missing. Ruan Yan softly spoke, “I’ve inquired about you too. Your family’s business is large, so you’re not scared of doing anything, but that pink dressed fruit is only a normal person. To start an argument because of her, can you guess what kind of punishment she’ll face?”

 

Ruan Yan expressionlessly called himself “pink dressed fruit” without a single trace of humiliation left in his heart.

 

Chu Nan’s blood suddenly turned cold, “You really are shameless.”

 

“You praise me too excessively.”

 

The gunpowder-stricken scene turned intangible and Chu Nan left the school with a stomach full of anger. He’d never had to suppress his anger before, but for Ran Yan, he had no other choice…

 

Thinking over it, it was still so angering!

 

Chu Nan pulled out his phone and prepared to further reveal Ruan Yan’s true face to Ran Yan.

 

Ruan Yan had only just reached the library when his phone rung.

 

He picked it up and heard Chu Nan say, “Little Psycho, you don’t know how impudent Ruan Yan that beast is!”

 

Ruan Yan: ….

 

He risked one’s life to accompany the lord and tenderly replied, “Really? Chu Nan, what happened?”

 

 

Translator’s Notes:

(1) Their words are meaningless and are just to flatter and ingratiate themselves with his parents and grandparents

(2) (S)he really had some speciality; or something that she was good at

(3) Best type of specialty school with really good facilities. Literally the best university in China

(4) This is meant to be an insult by saying that he’s just like a woman, but I don’t know any good methods of translating it to be an insult, hehe… (maybe androgynous? But that’s not really an insult…)
