The 8th whisper.

At this moment, Ji Huai-jin's phone rang again, informing him that the location had changed while urging him to hurry up

Chen Ran smiled, pulled out the chair beside her, and said, "Sit."

Everyone understood and laughed

When Chen Ran walked out of the school, the sun was radiating its last bit of power

Well, alright

As everyone's gaze shifted back and forth between Cheng Yin and Chen Ran, Cheng Yin appeared timid and remained silent

Chen Ran : `` ... ... ''

What do you think adult men can gather to do after they have eaten and drunk their fill

During the meal, Chen Ran glanced at her and saw her taking small bites of a piece of watermelon, resembling a kitten licking cat food.

"Oh, how nice. I have never gone out after ten o'clock at night," Cheng Ying said, playing with her ponytail, lowering her head and murmuring, "Where are you all going to have fun?"

I will take you back after dinner," Chen Ran said, "Tell your brother not to worry, I won't sell you off.

No need, I will return after eating by myself

When she first received the report card, she was indeed very angry

He muttered to himself, "I am still growing, it won't sell for much anyway"

Cheng Yin realized that she had perhaps spoken too hastily and said something wrong, so she quietly tugged at the corner of his clothing and whispered, "I understand."

Cheng Yin heard the phone call he just received, and then asked, "Are you all going to play later?"

In fact, she dislikes the smell of smoke very much. Cheng Sheng occasionally smokes at home, and when she discovers it, she will report him to their parents. However, at a dining table filled with men, it is quite difficult to ask them not to smoke just for her sake

Zhang Yue received a WeChat message from Chen Ran and hurriedly instructed someone to serve the dishes

Perhaps it was the warm atmosphere in the private room, or perhaps he was thinking of joking with his friends, his expression was particularly relaxed

After speaking, Cheng Ying was left speechless, while Chen Ran let out a light laugh

Chen Ran opened the car door of the driver's seat, resting her hand on it, looking at Cheng Yin with a smile that was neither fully a smile nor a frown

Wasn't that caused by you getting angry?

As soon as these words were spoken, the people at the table burst into uproarious laughter, which was quite exaggerated

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yin bit into the brown sugar glutinous rice cake, which suddenly fell into the bowl, and she wished she could bury her face in the bowl along with the cake

Chen Ran led her to a car

Cheng Yin let out a sound of "Oh"

Chen Ran gripped the steering wheel, gazing at the long line of traffic ahead, feeling a twinge of irritation in her heart

Chen Ran reached out to take her phone and placed it in the storage space. "Let me speak seriously with you, never underestimate the potential danger posed by adult men, like myself. Even though we know each other, you should not casually go off with anyone. It is even more important to avoid strangers. Do you understand?"

Cheng Yin did not take it to heart, lowering her head to continue looking at her phone, "You were the one who said you would give me food."

Cheng Yin hurriedly said: "No need, no need, you do not have to worry about me"

Rationally, Cheng Ying should refuse.

He is very well-behaved and obedient

Hello, little desk mate

However, I have never ridden in a vehicle with my peers

However, Cheng Yin ate this meal with particular restraint and exceptional quietness

Chen Ran stood at the door, staring at Ji Huaijin

At this moment, maturity and unfamiliarity coexist, resulting in the externalization of something called "hormones." The seventeen-year-old girl possesses both a desire to explore and a fear of getting too close, leaving her to listen to her irregular heartbeat in solitude

From childhood to adulthood, she has traveled in her parents' car, in the car of her classmates, and in the cars of her uncles and aunts

However, she did not expect that Chen Ran would actually say he wanted to take her out for a meal

Having finished speaking, he looked up and noticed that three or four people at the table were smoking

After speaking, she turned to Chen Ran and said, "The last time I saw you, weren't you smoking as well?"

Chen Ran stared at him, her eyes filled with inscrutable meaning. Beside her, Ji Huaijin couldn't help but laugh and said, "You fool, this is Chen Ran's classmate, her classmate! Can't you see she's wearing a school uniform and carrying a backpack?"

His eyes were light in color, and his brows and eyes were deep-set. At this moment, he wore a slightly helpless expression, which made Cheng Yin's heart skip a beat

Cheng Yin felt uneasy, so she took out her phone to call Cheng Sheng

Chen Ran is not considered a peer, but she cannot classify him as an elder

Uh... that's Xie Ying, I have mentioned her to you before

Sister, don't pay attention to him; Chen Ran is like this with women, pretending to be serious. Ji Huaijin said while stepping on a cigarette butt, "Actually, he is quite beastly in private, so you should keep your distance from him."

Cheng Yin stared at him blankly, "Like you?"

Chen Ran : `` ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ''

Everyone was momentarily stunned, but it was Ji Huaijin who reacted first

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ran walked in, followed by Cheng Yin

This girl is both assertive and delicate at school, yet when she encounters a table full of men, she becomes intimidated and falls silent

He stepped on the accelerator and drove out

What are you feeling guilty about

As soon as the words were spoken, the door to the private room was pushed open

How can I express this feeling

At the moment Chen Ran placed one hand on the steering wheel, Cheng Ying clearly realized that Chen Ran was indeed different from the young boys around her

It was not until the time to serve tea that I caught a glimpse of Cheng Yin's face, which was as red as an apple

This statement is highly ambiguous

Upon Chen Ran's remark, everyone at the table, except for Ji Huaijin, appeared somewhat perplexed

What is he saying to the young girl

Yet the little ancestor behind is still dawdling like a turtle

Zhang Yue, didn't you say you wanted to transfer to Shanghai

As the two individuals exited the private room, Ji Huaijin chased after them, standing at the door and saying: "Chen Ran, after you send your sister home, meet us at the usual place. We will head over shortly."

Chen Ran opened his mouth, intending to continue reasoning with her, but he heard her say: "Is it because you are very beastly?"

Glancing sideways, I saw a little girl beside me playing with her braids, her face radiating innocence and purity

Cheng Yin always felt that it was somewhat strange to walk behind him after school

Indeed, are you afraid that I might directly take you to be sold?

She doesn't seem to be particularly close to Chen Ran, and after all, Chen Ran is an adult man, unlike the group of young boys in their class

Will you take her out to play again after dinner

Ji Huai-jin and the others had already gathered at the hot pot restaurant, waiting for Chen Ran to arrive and start the meal

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ran clearly still felt a bit anxious, honking the horn twice to urge the driver in front to make a U-turn

Blanch the beef first, Chen Ran has already arrived, no need to wait.

Cheng Yin : `` ... ... ''

Chen Ran stopped in front of the traffic light, turning her head to look at Cheng Yin

Chen Ran is very quiet while driving, not speaking

What happened? Did she really say something wrong

Cheng Yin did not look up, "Hmm?"

Ji Huai-jin lazily lit a cigarette, glanced at everyone, and said: "Hey, it's boring. Every time we have a meal, it's always a bunch of big men. When will you bring some women along? It's always so dull with just the men around."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Ying opened the game "Xiao Xiao Le," only to hear someone beside her ask: "Xie Ying?"

"You all extinguish the cigarettes and open the window to let some air in," he paused for a moment, with a hint of self-mockery, and said, "Didn’t you see my classmates here?"

Ahead, road construction has been encountered, with the area cordoned off, transforming the two-way street into a one-way street, causing a blockage. Chen Ran had to change lanes and squeeze for position with others.

However, Chen Ran did not say anything; she merely sighed and pushed the brown sugar glutinous rice cake in front of Cheng Yin.

Cheng Yin let out a "hum" and opened the door to the front passenger seat, taking a seat inside.

After Cheng Yin sat down, Zhang Yue asked with a face full of curiosity: "Do you really have a younger sister? Why have I never heard of her before?"

Cheng Yin understands this; she is aware that one is soft when fed by others, so she will certainly speak well of Chen Ran

She was actually nervous, as it was her first time dining with so many strangers, all of whom were adult men, and it seemed that there was no room for her to express herself.

Tsk, just a moment ago in the classroom, you were acting all bold and brash, yet here you seem to have learned to be shy

What are you doing standing at the door? Are you the door god?" Ji Huai Jin waved to him, "Hurry up and come in, we've been waiting for you.

It is uninteresting

Indeed, come, let me introduce you. Chen Ran reached out and made a gesture behind Cheng Yin, saying, "This is my younger sister, whom I have just reunited with after being lost for a long time."

Chen Ran furrowed her brow in silence, set down her teacup, and changed the subject

Chen Ran heard it, but did not speak up

Chen Ran turned around and said: "Hurry up."

Meanwhile, Chen Ran sat like an outsider, crossing his legs and leaning back in his chair, playing on his phone

However, she is feeling a bit nervous and anticipatory at this moment

Chen Ran simply replied with a few words: "Hmm, send the person home and then come back, no need to rush, what’s the hurry, you all enjoy yourselves first, don’t wait for me"

A group of big men burst into laughter

Hey, Chen Ran, isn't this your biological sister

The carriage is filled with the exaggerated shouts of voice actors and noisy background music, something Chen Ran has not heard in a long time

What are you so nervous about?" Chen Ran said softly, "They are talking about women, you are a girl, completely two different beings, do you understand?

She feels a bit apprehensive

It is really hot

Brother, I will not be coming home for dinner today, I will be eating out with classmates

Chen Ran made a sound of acknowledgment.

Subsequently, the topics of conversation among them were mostly beyond Cheng Yin's comprehension, yet they deliberately avoided certain inappropriate subjects for children. Occasionally, someone would unconsciously let slip some profanity, but no one seemed to mind.

Cheng Yin was left dumbfounded, what exactly were they laughing at? Is the sense of humor of adults really this low?

Woman

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran turned his head and cast a faint glance at Cheng Yin

Chen Ran raised her eyes and looked lightly at Ji Huaijin, "How have I treated you like a beast?"

Cheng Yin stared at the car and asked, "Do you drive to school?"

It seems that he truly did not take his earlier words to heart

After the meal, Chen Ran is going to escort Cheng Yin home

Moreover, if he were Cheng Yin's older brother, he would certainly be uneasy about his sister going out to dinner with a man

Chen Ran ignored them and turned around to see Cheng Yin carrying a backpack, gripping the straps on her shoulders with both hands, her lips pressed tightly together, and her gaze flickering.

At the moment the engine started, Cheng Ying suddenly felt a sense of unreality

He lowered his head to look at Cheng Yin, and from this angle, he could see his eyes slightly raised, resembling peach blossom eyes. The neon lights and car headlights by the roadside reflected in his gaze, blurring his expression, with only the subtle curve at the corner of his mouth appearing genuine, inexplicably evoking the words "temptation" in Cheng Yin's mind

Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at the parking lot outside the school

Every weekend, they gather together for a meal, and their evening entertainment consists of having a couple of drinks

Chen Ran did not turn around, snapped his fingers, indicating that he understood

Cheng Yin let out a soft "oh," yet did not quicken her pace

Chen Ran suddenly put down her phone and stared at Cheng Yin

After getting into the car, Cheng Ying opened the window, enjoying the evening breeze while chewing on the dried tangerine peel candy provided by the hot pot restaurant, and took out her phone to watch anime

Chen Ran turned back again, propping herself against the door frame, glanced around, and said: "Please be mindful of your conversation."

Everyone is a bit confused, what is Chen Ran trying to show off about

Zhang Yue was stirring the beef, shaking his head and saying: "People bend their backs for five pecks of rice. The boss knows I want to leave, so he immediately promoted me."

The group of people at this table today is not the same as the last time Cheng Yin encountered at the food street, and among them, only Ji Huaijin has seen her before

"In the future, do not casually get into a man's car or go out to eat with them, not even if you know them. Do you understand?" He slightly turned his head and looked at Cheng Yin, "Do you realize how dangerous this is for you?"

It is evident that he heard what Ji Huaijin just said

Ji Huai-jin sat opposite Cheng Yin, stretching his neck to ask: "Sister, is Chen Ran well-behaved at school? Does he listen to others?"

Speak less, eat more; if you don't grow taller later, you can blame me

Cheng Yin looked up and stammered slightly

"You all are gathering..." Cheng Ying cautiously probed, "Engaging in prostitution?"

Qi Chenran's words cannot be trusted

Cheng Yin does not understand what is so funny

Listening to Chen Ran's tone, it is evident that she is joking; however, looking at the young girl's appearance, it seems that this statement holds some truth.

What happened?

I am here presenting facts and reasoning to you, while you are there resorting to personal attacks against me

His voice was clear and crisp, with emphasis on the words "how". He looked at Ji Huaijin with a half-smile, his long and well-proportioned fingers resting on the table, gently rotating the teacup

I wonder what Chen Ran will take her to eat
