Night Raid

Chapter 295

On a sunny Saturday morning, Gu Ran dragged Ye Zhenzhen to the IKEA home furnishing market for a major shopping spree.

As soon as they entered, a color-blocked sofa caught their eyes, and the young man looked excited.

Gu Ran pointed at a bright red sofa, which was paired with a green rug next to it.

"Dr. Ye, what do you think of this red sofa paired with that green rug?"

He introduced it with a straight face, seemingly very satisfied with his own matching.

"This color blocking! Red and green, it has so much life to it. It will definitely look great in the living room."

Ye Zhenzhen was so angry that she pinched the soft flesh around his waist, making Gu Ran beg for mercy from the pain.

"Gu 'Dog' Ran, your aesthetic sense is truly full of red flags!"

"Cross it out! Cross it out!"

She glared at him and scolded playfully, firmly striking that red-and-green furniture set off their shopping list.

"Sister, you just don't know how to appreciate it. My red and green combination is a masterpiece."

Gu Ran retorted unconvincingly, trying to save the sofa he had his eye on.

The two bickered in the showroom. Under the guide's mediation, the young man gave up on the red and green combo and chose a cream-colored sofa that Ye Zhenzhen liked.

Before leaving, he still looked back reluctantly. The young woman got angry just seeing him like this.

This dog!

What's so good about something so garish? However...

She looked at the furniture store next door, where two pairs of red and green throw pillows lay on a sofa. The burgundy velvet pillows looked very high-end.

Paired with the lake-green pillows next to them, they actually looked... pretty good.

Ye Zhenzhen stopped in her tracks, pulled Gu Ran into the store, and decisively bought the two pairs of pillows.

The young man's eyes lit up. He looked at the fluffy head raised beside him with an expression begging for praise.

"I knew it! My sis... ahem, my girlfriend is the kindest!"

Under Ye Zhenzhen's warning glare, Gu Ran's words took a very smooth turn.

Hearing this, the young woman proudly tilted her head up, humming happily.

"Of course~"

Both of them picked out items they loved and walked toward the daily necessities section in high spirits...

After finishing their shopping, Gu Ran decided to move on Sunday.

"Exams are coming up soon. I can't hinder your studies, Sister. Moving early brings peace of mind early."

Gu Ran found a high-sounding excuse, but in reality, he had already made his calculations.

Ye Zhenzhen secretly grumbled in her heart.

This dog definitely had ulterior motives. After moving in, she had to guard against him strictly and absolutely could not let him succeed!

Absolutely!!

......

Dorm 404.

Gu Ran announced the news that he was moving out.

Zhang Qi turned around from his computer, looking astonished.

"Brother Gu, don't go! This is called forgetting your mother once you have a wife. We single dogs will only be able to shiver in the cold wind from now on."

He howled exaggeratedly and lunged forward, trying to hug Gu Ran's thigh.

Gu Ran pushed him away in disgust and patted the dust off his pant leg.

"Cut the crap. It's not like I'm not coming back for classes. Besides, I don't see you treating me that well normally."

Hearing this, Zhang Qi gave a silly smile.

"True. Well, if you need help moving, just call your brothers anytime."

He sat back down at his computer without any lingering attachment and continued playing his game, his keyboard clacking loudly.

Gu Ran looked at his back and complained speechlessly.

"Why don't you act a bit more? You change faces faster than flipping a page."

Li Ming and Qin Zhaoyang stood by laughing, congratulating him on his new place, and took the opportunity to extort a barbecue meal out of him.

On the other side, Ye Zhenzhen's dorm was also buzzing with excitement.

Zhao Xiaoxiao and Chen Jing surrounded the young woman who was packing her luggage, their faces full of gossip.

"Zhenzhen, how does it feel to be moving in with your boyfriend soon? Are you super excited?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao pressed her with winks and nudges, her face written all over with a burning soul for gossip.

Ye Zhenzhen pretended to be calm as she stuffed clothes into her suitcase, trying to hide her panic.

"What could it feel like? I'm just changing to a quiet place to study. Don't let your imaginations run wild."

She argued with a blushing face, but her voice grew quieter and quieter.

Zhao Xiaoxiao tsked twice and reached into the suitcase to hook out a silk nightgown.

"Keep pretending! Going to study but bringing so many new nightgowns, and the fabric is quite breezy too~"

Zhao Xiaoxiao held the silk nightgown above her head.

"Jingjing, come look at this. Our top student Ye usually looks so pure and ascetic, but her private taste is quite wild."

Chen Jing covered her mouth and snickered on the side.

"This must be the legendary gap moe. That guy Gu Ran is really lucky."

Ye Zhenzhen's face instantly turned beet red. She snatched the nightgown back and stuffed it at the very bottom.

"Stop talking nonsense! I just bought it casually on sale. I wear it in the dorm too."

"When have you ever worn it? Jingjing, have you seen her wear it?"

Chen Jing shook her head while laughing on the side.

"Nope~ She probably couldn't bear to wear it. After all, the first time has to be saved for the most important person~"

The girl emphasized the words "first time" heavily.

Having her secret thoughts exposed, the young woman flew into a flustered rage and rushed forward to tickle the two of them.

The three girls playfully wrestled into a pile in the dorm.

The process of moving into the new home went very smoothly. Under Ye Zhenzhen's strict defense, Gu Ran's repeated pleas to be taken in failed every time.

The young man was locked out once again, his face full of frustration.

No...

Did he lack charm?

This couldn't go on. Since the direct approach didn't work, then he would...

Night raid!

An evil plan quietly formed without Ye Zhenzhen's knowledge.

Exam week was coming up soon. He would lie low for a few days. Delicious food was always best when saved for last.

Thinking this, the young man sucked his teeth, turned around, and went back to his own room.

......

Since there was less than half a month until exams, the young woman stayed up late every night memorizing books under her desk lamp, her desk piled high with thick medical textbooks.

In order to make the enemy relax her guard, Gu Ran served her tea, poured her water, and brought her late-night snacks every day. His service could be said to be extremely attentive.

He used his photographic memory cheat to help her quiz obscure medical terms.

Gu Ran opened a thick anatomy textbook.

"Where is the surface projection of the appendix? If you can't answer, you'll do an extra practice paper tonight."

Gu Ran leaned against the desk holding the textbook and asked, a hint of slyness in his eyes.

Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him.

"The junction of the middle and outer thirds of the line connecting the right anterior superior iliac spine and the umbilicus, also known as McBurney's point. Did you really think you could stump me?"

She raised her chin proudly.

Gu Ran closed the book and took the opportunity to lean in a bit closer.

"Since you're so amazing, Sister, shouldn't you teach me about the distribution of human muscles? My shoulders have been feeling sore lately."

As he spoke, he pulled Ye Zhenzhen's hand and placed it on his shoulder.

While touched, Ye Zhenzhen vigilantly guarded her neckline.

"Don't think that just because you're being attentive I'll let you kiss me. I have principles."

She warned him haughtily, trying to use her gaze to force back this wolf with ulterior motives.

Gu Ran shamelessly leaned in and pulled her into his arms to steal a kiss.

"I've been acting as your free study companion, so collecting a little interest isn't too much, right? You can't let me work for nothing."

As soon as his voice faded, before Ye Zhenzhen could even react, the space before her eyes suddenly darkened.

Her lips were met with a soft pressure, and the young woman's hands slowly crept up to rest on Gu Ran's shoulders.

The two kissed beneath the light, their breathing gradually growing heavy.

Their overlapping silhouettes slowly moved from the chair to the large, soft bed, the intimate atmosphere in the room growing thicker by the second.

Having sensed no danger whatsoever, the young woman suddenly felt a sudden chill against her chest.

She snapped back to her senses and forcefully pushed against the chest of the man in front of her.

"I still need to go wash up, stop messing around."

Blushing and panting, she fled toward the bathroom as if running for her life, even wearing her slippers backward in her haste.

The young man, whose actions had been interrupted, was not annoyed in the slightest. Staring at Ye Zhenzhen's retreating figure, a meaningful smile slowly unfurled across his lips.

After finishing her nighttime routine, the young woman thought she was safe upon seeing that the person in her bedroom had already left. She quickly ducked inside.

The door lock made a crisp click. With her back pressed against the door, her slender fingers rested over her chest. However, before she could truly relax, a drawn-out, aggrieved voice sounded from outside the door.

"Sister, the AC in my room seems to be broken. It's so cold. Can I come in and sleep on the floor?"

The sound of the door handle turning was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.

"It's not even cold yet, stop spouting nonsense! Hurry back to your own room and sleep."

She retorted loudly through the door, absolutely determined not to open it for him. Glancing toward the connecting balcony door, for some inexplicable reason, her heart began to race uncontrollably.

Seeing that he couldn't talk his way in, Gu Ran went quiet, as if he had given up. Hearing no more noise from outside, the young woman quietly unlocked the door and opened a small crack to peek out. The hallway was completely empty.

Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard that familiar, teasing voice ring out right behind her.

"Is Sister looking for me?"

Her body instantly tensed. She turned her head, only to see the young man who had vaulted over from the balcony.

"You... you don't play fair at all!"

Gu Ran cut her off, giving her no chance to react. He pulled her back into the room and smoothly kicked the door shut.

He trapped her tightly between his embrace and the wooden door, their breaths hot and intertwined in the narrow space.

"Why would I need to play fair with my own wife?"

"Don't you agree..."

"Sister."
