Chapter 128
"Then at home... is it okay?"
The young man's crisp scent, mixed with his warm breath, drilled right past her ear and straight into her heart.
Ye Zhenzhen's brain buzzed and instantly exploded.
How dare he?!
In broad daylight, in front of everyone, this dog was simply... TOO bold!
Before she could recover from those wild words, a piercing screech of brakes tore through the air.
The bus pulled into the stop, and the doors hissed open.
Like a startled rabbit, Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously tried to step back, only wanting to get as far away from this hazard as possible.
But Gu Ran did not give her the chance.
The moment she stepped back, the young man flipped his wrist and accurately clamped onto her hand, his palm scalding hot.
"Get on."
Gu 'Bossy CEO' Ran spat out those two words with unquestionable authority, dragging her toward the bus doors.
Ye Zhenzhen was completely dazed. The heat radiating from her wrist was startlingly hot.
One second ago she had just laid down the "no touching" rule, and the next second he tore it up right to her face.
What was this?
A slap in the face on the spot?
Utterly rebellious Gu 'Dog' Ran!
"Let go!" she lowered her voice. Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she only dared to mutter quietly.
Gu Ran turned a deaf ear. His grip actually tightened a bit as he swiped his card, boarded the bus, and found a seat, all in one smooth motion.
The back row of the bus, a double seat.
Gu Ran took a long stride, blocking her into the window seat and smoothly sitting down beside her.
The space was cramped, and the young man's aura instantly enveloped her.
The most fatal part was—his hand was still clasping her wrist.
Ye Zhenzhen's chest heaved with anger. She turned her head to glare at the instigator beside her.
The young man, however, had his head turned to look out the window. The lines of his profile were smooth and sharp, looking as if nothing had happened.
Fake!
Keep faking it!
"Gu 'Dog' Ran!" Ye Zhenzhen squeezed these three words through her gritted teeth.
"Hmm?" Gu Ran turned his head, his pitch-black eyes meeting hers, holding a look of pure innocence. "Sister, what's wrong?"
Sister?
At a time like this, he actually had the nerve to call her sister!
Ye Zhenzhen almost choked on her breath. She pointed at their entangled hands and questioned in a breathy whisper, "What are you doing!"
Gu Ran followed her gaze downward and said matter-of-factly, "Holding your hand."
Pausing, he added, "There are a lot of people on the bus. What if you fall again? My back is still hurting right now."
He brought it up again!
He brought up that milk tea shop incident again!
Ye Zhenzhen's cheeks flushed bright red. A sense of shame rushed from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.
This bastard was definitely doing it on purpose!
"I don't need you to care! Let go!" She forcefully tried to yank her hand back.
This time Gu Ran didn't resist, releasing his grip along with her pull.
Ye Zhenzhen felt a surge of joy, thinking he finally decided to have some shame.
But the next second, that warm, large hand covered hers again.
It was no longer clasping her wrist, but instead, his five fingers forcefully slid between hers—
Interlocking their fingers!
Ye Zhenzhen: "!!!"
A current of electricity exploded from her fingertips, and her whole body stiffened.
This position... was a hundred times more intimate than before!
"It's harder to break free this way," the young man's voice sounded by her ear, carrying a hint of a successful smirk. "And it's safer."
Safe my foot!
He clearly just wanted to lock her down!
Ye Zhenzhen roared crazily in her heart, but her strength seemed to have been drained. She could only passively feel the rough, thin calluses on his fingertips, along with his powerful, scalding pulse.
It was over.
She was completely at his mercy.
The bus swayed back and forth. Ye Zhenzhen gave up struggling and turned her head toward the window, leaving Gu Ran with a stubborn view of the back of her head.
As long as I don't look at him, the awkwardness won't catch up to me.
The bus fell into a weird silence.
Just when Ye Zhenzhen thought this matter had finally passed, Gu Ran spoke again.
"Sister."
"..." Ye Zhenzhen played dead.
"After we get home, help me check my back."
His voice was very light, but it drilled into her ears like a hook.
Ye Zhenzhen's back stiffened.
Check his back?
"When I fell just now, I think it really got scraped." Gu Ran unhurriedly played the victim. "I can't see it myself, which is a bit troublesome."
Boom—
Her memories flooded back.
"At home... is it okay?"
That spell-like sentence automatically replayed in her brain, perfectly overlapping with his current request.
Check his back...
At home...
How was this a request? This was clearly erotic!
Ye Zhenzhen whipped her head around, just about to scold him for being shameless, but she crashed straight into those bottomless eyes.
There was no teasing, only a heart-stopping focus.
He just looked at her quietly, his sincere gaze making her afraid to look him in the eye.
Right at that moment—
"Screech—!"
The bus hit the brakes hard.
Under the force of inertia, Ye Zhenzhen lurched forward uncontrollably.
Gu Ran reacted extremely fast. His free hand instantly wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.
"Oof!"
Her cheek crashed solidly against his hard chest.
The young man's heartbeat was strong, his scent fresh and clean.
"You see."
His chest vibrated, and his voice came from above her head.
"I told you, it's very dangerous."
Ye Zhenzhen lay in his arms, completely stunned.
It was over. Not only was it erotic, it was perverted now...
An auntie nearby wore a doting smile, whispering to her companion, "The youngsters nowadays, so affectionate. They really have a good relationship."
Hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen wished she could just die on the spot.
"We're at our stop."
Gu Ran released her waist, but he did not release her hand.
He led a dazed Ye Zhenzhen off the bus.
As the evening breeze blew, the heat on her face finally went down a little.
The walk back to the residential complex wasn't long. The two walked side by side, neither speaking, with only their clasped hands.
In front of the apartment building's entrance.
Gu Ran stopped in his tracks and finally let go of her hand.
Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously curled her fingers. Her palm felt empty, and an inexplicable hint of disappointment actually sprouted in her heart.
But the next second, she realized exactly what kind of damned thoughts were running through her head.
What a sin!
She kept her head down, staring at the tips of her shoes, only wanting to quickly end this torture and go home to hide under her blankets.
"Click."
Gu Ran opened the building door but didn't go in.
He turned around and faced her again.
The streetlamp stretched his shadow out long, completely enveloping her petite figure in darkness.
The sense of pressure suddenly increased.
Ye Zhenzhen's heartbeat sped up again, and she subconsciously wanted to step back.
Gu Ran suddenly took a step forward, closing the final distance between them.
He raised his hand.
Ye Zhenzhen's breath hitched.
His long, slender fingers gently brushed across her cheek, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
His fingertips faintly grazed her burning ear.
Ye Zhenzhen trembled all over. This kid was definitely crazy!!
"We're home, Ye Zhenzhen."
"Now, is it okay?"
At that moment, only one sentence remained in Ye Zhenzhen's mind—
When a younger guy stops calling you 'sister', his intentions are definitely wild!

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.

With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
