As they left You Ran Inn, many of the inn's staff were surprisingly staring at Ye Xiao and his group. Previously, Zhu Xiaoren had arrived with the police to arrest someone with great fanfare, but in the end, it was Zhu Xiaoren himself who was embarrassingly taken away by the very police he brought!

Thus, many people had big speculations about Ye Xiao's identity!

At this time, the heavy downpour had turned into a light, drizzling rain, but the water accumulation on the roads was still not any less!

"You guys wait at the door; I'll go bring the car!" Ye Xiao told the five girls.

The girls all nodded, and Ye Xiao quickly went to the parking area with a pink umbrella, and brought the weather-beaten Q Rui car slowly to the front of You Ran Inn. All the girls, except Lan Lan, immediately got into the car!

Seeing that Lan Lan hadn't gotten in, Su Yun looked at her puzzled and asked, "Lan Lan, why aren't you getting in?"

Lan Lan replied, "You guys go ahead. Just now my aunt called asking me to come home, so I'll just take a taxi!"

"Why bother with a taxi when we have a ride right here?" Zhou Yuyan said with a smile!

Seeing Lan Lan hesitating, Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Come on, I know where you live anyway!"

Hearing this, all five girls turned to look at Ye Xiao, clearly interested in what he just said!

"So Ye Xiao has been to Lan Lan's house before, I really didn't know that!" Zhou Yuyan chuckled and said, "Lan Lan, get in the car; I have something to ask you!"

Lan Lan, not being foolish, knew they had misunderstood!

Lan Lan said, "Don't misunderstand, there was a reason Ye Xiao visited my house!"

"Of course, there's a reason. How could there not be a reason to visit your house?" Zhou Yuyan immediately winked at Lan Lan!

At this moment, Ling Shuya glanced at Lan Lan, then turned to look at Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao was beginning to regret it; what was this all about, why did he even say that extra bit?

However, what's said is like water that's been thrown; it's impossible to take it back, so he deliberately avoided looking at Ling Shuya and turned his gaze to the scenery outside the window, appearing to admire the rain.

Lan Lan, feeling helpless, initially didn't want to trouble Ye Xiao and the others, but now, because she didn't want to be a bother, it had led to this misunderstanding!

Lan Lan got into the car, and Zhou Yuyan immediately said with a grin, "Lan Lan, tell us, what exactly is going on between you and Ye Xiao?"

"There really isn't anything; you're totally misunderstanding!" Lan Lan said with a bitter smile. Actually, that day, it was just her asking Ye Xiao to race for her!

Zhou Yuyan said, "Alright, if you don't want to say then I won't ask anymore."

Ye Xiao drove quickly towards Lan Lan's house. Along the way, the speed was very fast, and the six of them in the car didn't speak much, but each person had their own cunning thoughts!

Before long, the car stopped at a residential area's entrance, and Lan Lan got out.

"Come and sit at my house for a while!" Lan Lan politely insisted.

The girls all declined; Su Yun had to go back to prepare lessons.

So, Ye Xiao drove the car again towards Minghai Academy.

"Ye Xiao, come on, tell us what exactly is going on between you and Lan Lan? When did you go to Lan Lan's house?" Zhou Yuyan looked at Ye Xiao, who was driving, and said, "Don't tell me you and Lan Lan have already..."

"There's nothing like that, don't falsely accuse me!" Ye Xiao immediately denied, actually, it wasn't a denial but rather it was a baseless accusation, how could he admit to that?

"Hehe, it's okay if you don't admit it, it doesn't matter!" Zhou Yuyan smirked, and the subject was dropped.

Ye Xiao dropped Su Yun off at the entrance of the faculty family home at Minghai Academy, then quickly headed towards Yangguan District.

Minutes later, the Q Rui entered Sunshine District.

Upon reaching the villa area, the Q Rui stopped in front of Ling Shuya's villa.

Ye Xiao, Shen Qiuyu, and the three stunning ladies, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, got out of the car. Ye Xiao then carefully took the herbs Lan Lan had given him from the car to the villa.

Seeing Ye Xiao's cautious behavior, Ling Shuya couldn't hold back her irritation and exclaimed, "It's just some herbs; is there really a need to be so nervous about it?"

Lifting his head to look at Ling Shuya, Ye Xiao said, "Oh, some people are just like that, untrustworthy!"

With that, Ye Xiao headed towards his room.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's sarcastic tone, Ling Shuya immediately yelled at him, "Ye Xiao, who are you talking about?"

When Ye Xiao heard Ling Shuya roaring at him, he quickly turned around, looked at Ling Shuya and said, "I wasn't talking about anyone, why do you look like you're going to eat me? Don't take it personally, okay? Oh right, does our bet from today still count? Of course, since you're a girl, if you want to back out, I definitely won't say anything. After all, it has become customary for guys to let girls win!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ling Shuya felt incredibly angry. Wasn't this guy blatantly elevating himself and belittling others? Ling Shuya really wanted to slap Ye Xiao so hard that he wouldn't be able to take care of himself!

Yet, Ling Shuya couldn't bring herself to say the bet didn't count. If she did, given Ye Xiao's shameless nature, he would definitely call her untrustworthy. Ling Shuya didn't want Ye Xiao to go around saying she was untrustworthy, so she immediately told Ye Xiao, "There's nothing I, Ling Shuya, have said that doesn't count. I certainly won't be looked down upon by someone as shameless as you!"

Upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, Ye Xiao immediately put the herbs at his feet, then clapped for Ling Shuya with a serious face and burst into laughter, saying, "I knew Miss Ling would be a girl of her word!"

Ling Shuya snorted and disdainfully said, "Good that you know!"

"Alright then, let's carry out the first condition. Miss Ling, start praising me. Don't take too long, ten minutes will suffice!" Ye Xiao smirked teasingly as he looked at Ling Shuya with a twinkle in his eye.

Ling Shuya looked at Ye Xiao, feeling extreme hatred. Praise Ye Xiao? She couldn't bring herself to say those words of praise to Ye Xiao. Of course, if it were about insulting Ye Xiao, Ling Shuya could have rattled on endlessly!

Looking at Ye Xiao, all Ling Shuya could think of was shameless, unscrupulous, ruffian, vile...

None of these words were commendatory, so Ling Shuya was really struggling!

At that moment, Zhou Yuyan looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, aren't you making it difficult for Shuya? If you have any flaws, I could talk about them for half an hour, maybe even more. But if it's about your virtues, oh my god, please forgive our lack of words!"

Hearing Zhou Yuyan's disdain, Ye Xiao immediately said, "Ungrateful!"

"Are you scolding me?" Zhou Yuyan's face turned cold immediately.

Ye Xiao said, "After all, I went through a lot of trouble to save your life. You don't have to thank me, but to insult me is too much. Do you know how exhausted I was when I saved you?"

At this moment, Ye Xiao could swear, his words had no other implications, but in Zhou Yuyan's ears, the meaning was completely altered.

"Ye Xiao, you're shameless!" Zhou Yuyan glared at Ye Xiao furiously.

Ye Xiao replied, "How am I shameless? I'm just telling the truth!"

"You…" Zhou Yuyan felt helpless. Yes, Ye Xiao was indeed just stating the truth. What happened that day with Ye Xiao was indeed because he saved her!

Things really were incomprehensibly bizarre!

Seeing Zhou Yuyan at a loss for words, Ye Xiao looked at Ling Shuya with a smile and said, "Actually, I know you don't want to deny my qualities; it's just that in front of Miss Shen and Zhou Yuyan, you're too embarrassed. Okay, I understand your pride. How about this, we go to my room and talk properly. If you really don't know what to say, can you think about it?"

Ling Shuya looked at Ye Xiao, feeling a murderous urge—this guy was incredibly shameless.

Yet, Ye Xiao's point wasn't entirely without reason; Ling Shuya did care a lot about her image. If it really came to saying those words in front of Shen Qiuyu and Zhou Yuyan, she wouldn't be able to do it!

After hesitating for a while, Ling Shuya finally looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Fine, I'll go in with you!"

Hearing Ling Shuya's words, Zhou Yuyan and Shen Qiuyu were also somewhat surprised. Couldn't Ling Shuya see this was one of Ye Xiao's schemes?

But then, they thought about it; perhaps this scheme wasn't necessarily bad for Ling Shuya.

Ye Xiao's plot wasn't necessarily malicious.

Ye Xiao shrugged and walked into the room with a smile, holding the door open for Ling Shuya to enter.

Ling Shuya no longer hesitated. Who told her to make a bet with Ye Xiao and even lose? It seemed this bet had to be honored; otherwise, she would definitely not be able to live it down in front of Ye Xiao!

Ling Shuya entered Ye Xiao's room, hesitated for a moment, and then closed the door after all.

Zhou Yuyan and Shen Qiuyu saw the door close and exchanged a look.

Zhou Yuyan and Shen Qiuyu sat on the sofa, and Zhou Yuyan smiled at Shen Qiuyu, saying, "Looks like, today, Ling Shuya is going to suffer a loss!"

Shen Qiuyu answered, "Ye Xiao probably won't do anything to Shuya."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuyan immediately giggled and moved closer to Shen Qiuyu, jokingly saying, "Sister Qiuyu, when you were with Ye Xiao before, wasn't he a bit too frisky?"

"What do you mean by frisky?" Shen Qiuyu pretended not to understand.

Zhou Yuyan said, "Obviously I mean in that way! You're so beautiful, and Ye Xiao is quite lustful, you two…"

"Never, absolutely never. You're overthinking things!" Shen Qiuyu quickly interjected.

Zhou Yuyan giggled and said, "Sister Qiuyu, I was just saying. You don't need to be nervous!"

"I'm not, just Ye Xiao is a bit mischievous, nothing else!" While saying this, Shen Qiuyu recalled the lovely memories she had with Ye Xiao on Qiu Mountain.
