The girl, who usually didn't dare ask him out, actually called him and asked him out for dinner.
Hu Yifan's lips curled up to the sky.
He curled his lips, taking his time to change clothes, shower, and even consider whether he should get a hair cut.
Liu Ranran called again.
Liu Ranran was sitting across from Su Qing. As time passed, her milk tea ran dry, the sun grew hotter, and there was still no sign of Hu Yifan.
She called to ask if he was lost or something. This was the place they often met, the place they had planned to have dinner at several times, and he hadn't shown up yet.
Liu Ranran wondered if she'd been stood up.
"Why haven't you arrived yet?"
Liu Ranran was getting a little impatient waiting, and her voice was now thick with dissatisfaction.
Hu Yifan, who had already stepped halfway into the barber shop, withdrew his foot.
"I was just thinking, since you finally made an appointment with me, I'd go get a hair cut or something, and show you how handsome I am!"
Hu Yifan raised an eyebrow, his hands in his pockets.
Liu Ranran's eyes widened at his cocky demeanor, wondering if she had misheard.
Hu Yifan actually wanted to get a hair cut even though they had an appointment. She glared furiously at the cup of milk tea in front of her.
"Hu Yifan, I've been waiting for you here for over half an hour, and you said you needed a hair cut and only came after it was done?!"
"If you wanted to cancel, better you have told me earlier."
Hu Yifan was stunned by the exasperated voice on the line. But before he could retort, a barrage of voices pierced through the receiver, reaching his ears.
"Hu Yifan, no matter how handsome you are, you can't change the way you dig your nose in front of me!"
"Handsome? Why would a handsome guy dig his nose with his fingers?"
"You come or not? I'll give you ten more minutes. If you don't, we're done!"
The usually timid girl, now audacious, launched into a frenzied barrage at Hu Yifan.
"No, I'm not done. I'm sending the photo of you digging your nose to the school group chat!"
"Goodbye, ten minutes!"
The click of the phone being hung up was heard.
Needless to say, Hu Yifan was stunned; even Su Qing, sitting across from Liu Ranran, was a bit stunned.
Liu Ranran felt a little different now. Perhaps her voice was a little too loud, causing passersby and Su Qing to stare at her.
Still staring.
Perhaps Su Qing realized her gaze was a bit too strange, so she calmed down, digesting Liu Ranran's words, which were so different from herself as usual. Then, she slowly looked at Liu Ranran.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if Hu Yifan doesn't come."
Liu Ranran rested her chin on her hand, biting her lip.
"It's okay. Hu Yifan will definitely come!"
"If he don't come, I'll show everyone the photo of him digging his nose!"
Liu Ranran, with her guts full of courage, looked at Su Qing with a daunting expression. Su Qing was stunned. She hadn't expected that what she'd thought Liu Ranran was joking would actually be true.
Liu Ranran looked at Su Qing's dazed expression, assuming she didn't believe her.
She immediately unlocked her phone, then, after a few operations, sat down beside Su Qing, having previously been sitting across from her. She pulled out a photo of Hu Yifan digging his nose with his hand...
The boy in the photo, wearing a red basketball jersey, was in a very strange pose. A closer look revealed that he wasn't actually digging his nose, but the angle of the photo was incredibly tricky.
It looked like he was digging his nose.
"Tsk, but Qing Qing, you know what, even though Hu Yifan looks like a shrew, he's still quite handsome."
"That's right, Qing Qing, such a handsome guy, why would he dig his nose..."
Originally, the photo was shown to Su Qing, but then Liu Ranran was admiring it alone, commenting on it.
Little did she know that Hu Yifan, now with a gloomy face, was standing beside her.
Hu Yifan had understood something the moment he saw Su Qing and Liu Ranran together. He hadn't expected that little girl, Liu Ranran, would have the audacity to lie to him, claiming the deleted photos weren't deleted, and even ask him out on Su Qing's behalf.
He guess he know what it is; it's nothing more than Jiang Sui's business.
Since it here, then just make the best of it.
Brother Sui only said that shouldn't blindly tell Su Qing anything, but he didn't mention what to do if Su Qing asked.
Furthermore, Hu Yifan himself had misunderstood Su Qing at that time, even at one point feeling that she wasn't good enough.
That's why Hu Yifan didn't turn back halfway, but came here openly.
But now, an infuriated Hu Yifan, watching Liu Ranran's constant barrage of criticism, looked grim.
When Su Qing saw Hu Yifan, she nudged Liu Ranran several times with her elbow. Unaware, the girl looked up at Su Qing and asked.
"Qing Qing, do you also think Hu Yifan is silly? And more importantly, he's narcissistic. Who gives him that confidence... Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Look at his expression..."
She pointed at Hu Yifan on the phone screen.
"Liu Ranran!"
Hu Yifan, driven to the limit of his patience, had to interrupt.
"Oh my god!"
The moment Liu Ranran heard Hu Yifan's voice, she was so startled she almost fell to the ground, dropping her phone.
There was a pa da sound on floor.
Seeing Hu Yifan's sinister gaze, Liu Ranran couldn't help but grab Su Qing's arm.
Hu Yifan looked as if he had arrived long ago. She trembled as she looked at him.
"When did you get here... Why are you here..."
Hadn't she said ten minutes? It felt like only a few minutes had passed.
Looking at the boy's gloomy eyes, Su Qing couldn't bear to say he had arrived a long time ago.
Hu Yifan sneered.
"Liu Ranran, you're really brave!"
Liu Ranran's shoulders trembled uncontrollably at his words.
She had no idea what Hu Yifan was talking about: the photos she'd said she'd deleted, the fact that she'd asked him out on Qing Qing's behalf, or the taunting she'd just made...
But no matter which one it was, she couldn't escape responsibility.
"I didn't mean to..."
Liu Ranran's softly sophistry was met with a cold snort from Hu Yifan.
"Intentionally, calling me ugly, calling me narcissistic?"
"You're being deliberate. Isn't that too broad?"
Liu Ranran blinked. She shouldn't have called him ugly, but it was true that he was narcissistic, and she wasn't wrong. She didn't dare argue.
"No, no, you're the most handsome. Even the way you dig your nose is so cool!"
