Delivered to Your Doorstep

Chapter 110

Silence.

Neither of them spoke again, tacitly enjoying the tranquility of the moment.

Unconsciously snuggling together with their fingers tightly intertwined, they sat quietly by the window, watching the pouring rain outside.

The young girl's delicate head had, without her realizing it, quietly come to rest on her younger brother's shoulder.

For a moment, she even felt that her brother had grown up and could finally shelter her from the wind and rain...

...

Who knows how much time passed, so long that Gu Ran thought the girl beside him had fallen asleep.

Feeling the body leaning against him gradually soften, he reached out his hand on a strange impulse.

Gently... he wanted to test why she was so soft.

Smack!

Sensing the dog paw creeping up her waist, the aloof girl immediately stood up and swatted away his wandering hand.

After giving him a charming eye-roll, Ye Zhenzhen stood up straight.

She pressed her delicate, fair forehead against the glass of the balcony's French window, quietly staring blankly outside.

The frantic rainwater streamed down the windowpane like pearls from a broken string.

The whole world seemed to have turned into a giant water curtain cave.

The pattering rain mirrored her heart, which was unable to calm down for a long time.

Perhaps feeling guilty like a thief, looking at the ethereal girl, Gu Ran felt an inexplicable sense of a guilty conscience.

"Which university... are you planning to go to?"

Staring at the rainstorm, the melancholic girl thought about many things, and finally asked faintly, her voice sounding even colder.

University?

Gu Ran sat on the floor, struggling to keep up with her sudden leap in logic.

Why bring this up all of a sudden?

"Then which university do you want to go to?"

He tilted his head and asked probing.

The reason he used the word 'want' was because, for Ye Zhenzhen, apart from those two exceptionally top-tier universities, she could basically steamroll into any college and pick a major with her eyes closed.

Even for those two top schools, it wasn't impossible for her to get into her desired major.

Hearing this question, Ye Zhenzhen didn't answer directly.

Instead, she turned around and quietly stared at her younger brother behind her.

"How do you think you did on the exam this time?"

Why was she asking about him now?

Gu Ran raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "About... this?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture for the number six.

Over six hundred?

Seeing this, Ye Zhenzhen blinked, turned back to face the window, and resumed her deep thoughts.

Ever since she was little, she had always yearned for Qinglin University.

As a true local of Qinglin, she had a special soft spot for Qinglin University.

However, Qinglin University's admission score wasn't low, and a score in the six hundreds still had different tiers.

Just over six hundred and high six hundreds were completely different concepts.

According to the cutoff scores of previous years, Qinglin University's minimum admission score would be at least six hundred and thirty-something.

She also felt that this year's exam questions were exceptionally easy, so an increase in the cutoff score was inevitable; it might even reach six hundred and forty plus...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

If worst comes to worst, being in the same city would be fine too...

Just as she was at her wits' end, her foolish brother seemed to have an epiphany and guessed the girl's thoughts.

"Ye Zhenzhen, you don't... want to go to the same school as me, do you?"

Ye Zhenzhen: "!!!"

Hearing this, the girl immediately spun around, her face full of shock.

This blockhead actually saw through it?!

Was she being that obvious?

Having her thoughts exposed, the girl had no time to wallow in melancholy and hurriedly began to make excuses.

"N-nonsense! Who wants to go to the same school as you!"

"Oh, so you don't want to go to the same school as me..."

Gu Ran's dog-like nature flared up again as he deliberately put on an utterly disappointed expression.

Her maternal instincts overflowing, the girl didn't have time to overthink. Terrified of breaking her silly brother's heart, she quickly defended herself.

"No, that's not it, it's your grades..."

But before she could finish, Gu Ran cut her off.

"My grades! I get it, my grades aren't worthy of going to the same school as you."

Ye Zhenzhen: "!!!"

When did she ever mean that?!

Coming to her senses, the girl now realized he was doing this on purpose.

Puffed up like a goldfish's gills, her little face bulged with anger as she raised her foot and kicked him.

Feeling the pure white cotton sock brush against his leg, Gu Ran took the opportunity to lie back down, muttering shamelessly.

"Ouch, kick me, kick me, just kick me to death. Once I'm dead, no one will be an eyesore to you anymore..."

Veins popped on her forehead.

Ye Zhenzhen truly understood the meaning of this phrase at this moment.

The ancients did not deceive me!

Clenching her delicate fists, she fought back the urge to smack her brother to death and took a deep breath.

She turned around, stared out the window, and tried her hardest to manage her emotions.

Hanging a calm expression back on her face, she seemed to have turned back into that aloof flower on the high mountain of the past.

She had no choice. She couldn't just wait for Gu Xiangcheng and Ye Shulian to come back, stand at the door looking innocent, and say:

"I don't know what happened to Gu Ran. When I got home, he was already in pieces..."

Unaware that he was currently hovering on the edge of life and death, Gu Ran was still frantically testing the girl's bottom line.

"Sigh, just let me lie on the floor and freeze to death..."

"Alas, no one is talking to me, just let me die of loneliness..."

After interacting with this aloof beauty for a long time, he seemed to have discovered that coldness was just this girl's protective camouflage.

Slowly, he found that being appropriately annoying was beneficial to the girl's physical and mental health.

Didn't he notice that Ye Zhenzhen had been smiling a lot more lately?

Gu Ran felt he deserved a lot of the credit and made up his mind to help the girl step out of her shadows.

It was just that, it seemed...

He had let himself go a bit too much right now and was being overly annoying...

Having just adjusted her mindset, Ye Zhenzhen almost went berserk upon hearing these shameless words again.

Turning around fiercely and looking at Gu Ran acting like a scoundrel, for a moment, she wanted to go up and strangle this dog to death.

Day after day, he made people both love and hate him...

Unable to stand his manipulative, whiny remarks, she even suspected whether letting Pei Susu interact with him too much had caused him to get infected.

Otherwise, why did these words sound like they had Pei's flavor?

No way, from now on she had to prevent Pei Susu from ever appearing in front of Gu Ran again.

Lest that bad woman teach her brother bad things...

While thinking this, she stretched out her foot and stepped right on someone's face.

Firmly blocking that endlessly chattering mouth.

In an instant, the world went quiet.

Even the pattering sound of the rain outside the window sounded so melodious to her at this moment.

However, while she was enjoying the tranquility, little did she know that a certain someone beneath her foot had fallen into a fierce internal struggle.

Waiting online, it's pretty urgent!
