The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

Li Ruo was holding a cup of hot water when she saw the two people at the door and paused for a moment.

"you……"

Her gaze shifted from Zhou Si to Lu Ran, and then back to Zhou Si:

"How long have you been standing at the door?"

Zhou Si remained silent.

His gaze fell on the marks on her neck, and his pupils darkened.

Lu Ran didn't say anything either.

His gaze fell on the marks, on her collarbone, and stopped.

There are traces there.

A hickey.

more than one.

His pupils contracted sharply, and his fingers clenched tightly.

His gaze moved from her collarbone to her neck, and then from her neck to her shoulder.

Everywhere.

Red, purple, in varying shades, as if someone had put on a carnival on her skin.

Lu Ran stopped breathing.

He knew who had left those overlapping marks.

There is river mist, and there is also a land-based boat.

he knows.

But knowing and seeing are two different things.

His fingers were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his lips were pressed into a thin line.

Li Ruo followed his gaze and glanced down, then casually adjusted her collar:

"Have you seen enough?"

Lu Ran looked up at her face; her expression was calm.

"Who did it?" he asked in a low voice.

Li Ruo looked down at her neck, then looked up, her expression as innocent as a cat that had just woken up:

"What? Who did it?"

"That one on your neck."

"Oh, this."

Li Ruo reached out and touched the red mark, her tone casual as if she were saying, "There are so many mosquitoes today."

"Lu Xingzhou did it. What happened?"

The villa fell silent.

It was so quiet you could hear the sea breeze rustling through the leaves, the static from the bodyguard's walkie-talkie in the distance, and Lu Ran's breathing.

It grew heavier and thicker, like a wild beast chained up and struggling desperately.

"Land, travel, boat".

Lu Ran forced the name out through gritted teeth, each syllable dripping with murderous intent:

Where is he??

"Let's take a shower upstairs, I guess."

Li Ruo took a sip of ice water and thought for a moment: "He said his shirt got wet and asked someone to send a new one up."

Lu Ran turned around and prepared to walk towards the staircase of the villa.

Zhou Si grabbed his arm: "What are you doing?"

"Get him!!"

"Kill him!!!"

Zhou Si ruthlessly retorted, "He'd be good enough to kill you."

Lu Ran shook off Zhou Si's hand, his eyes burning with real fire:

"I swam for four hours to get here, and he was taking a shower up there? And he even got his shirt wet? How did he get wet? Tell me how he got wet!"

Zhou Si remained silent.

His lips were clenched into a tight line, his jaw was clenched so tightly, and a vein throbbed on his temple.

Li Ruo looked at the two men and blinked.

"Lu Ran,"

Her voice was flat, as if she were stating something obvious:

"Why are you so angry? It's not like we just met. You knew what kind of person I was five years ago."

Lu Ran stopped in his tracks.

He stood on the steps, his back to Li Ruo, his shoulders taut, his whole body like a fully drawn bow.

"Did he force you?" Lu Ran asked through gritted teeth.

Li Ruo: "I did it voluntarily."

"I wanted it, and he gave it to me, what's the problem?"

Lu Ran was speechless.

He wanted to say there was a problem, a big problem.

He wanted to say that he had waited for five years, and he had also waited for five years, so why should Lu Xingzhou get it first?

He wanted to say that he had swum for three hours, his body was covered in jellyfish stings, and his feet had been cut by the rocks in several places, and he just wanted to see her one last time.

It turned out that her body was covered in other people's marks!

He also wanted to say that he could give her that too!

Lu Xingzhou isn't the only one with that kind of thing!

But he didn't say anything.

Because Li Ruo's gaze was too calm.

His calm demeanor was like a mirror, reflecting all his disheveled and wretched state.

He lowered his head and smiled.

There was no happiness in that smile, only something bitter and astringent.

"No problem," he said. "Whatever makes you happy."

Li Ruo looked at his lowered head, and saw his fiery red hair in the sunlight like a ball of fire about to go out.

She walked over and asked, "Lu Ran, why are you crying?"

Lu Ran looked up: "I didn't cry!"

Your eyes are red.

"Stung by seawater..."

Li Ruo tiptoed, reached out and pinched his chin, turning his face up to the light.

His eyes were indeed red, his hair was fiery red, he had an unruly look in his eyes, his lips were white from being soaked in seawater, and he was wearing a wet diving suit.

He looked like a wild dog that had just crawled ashore from the sea.

In a sorry state,

But the bones are very hard.

"Why are you soaked to the bone?"

Li Ru frowned: "Did you swim here?"

Lu Ran: "...Hmm."

"How long did you swim?" she asked.

Three hours.

"Where did you swim from?"

"South beach."

Li Ruosong pulled away: "The sea is teeming with sharks, are you out of your mind?"

Lu Ran paused for a moment, then smiled.

This time I genuinely smiled, even though my eyes were still red.

"What's the value of life?" he said. "There are things more important than life."

Li Ruo stared wide-eyed in surprise: "Are you crazy?! You have a boat to take but you don't? Are you channeling some kind of melodramatic romance novel?"

Lu Ran: "..."

[Hahahaha, Li Ruo's mouth is so sharp! She's finally completely suppressed Lu Ran's venomous tongue!]

[Lu Ran: I traveled across the four seas to see you, and you say I'm crazy?]

This is the heartless, sharp-tongued beauty! She can't be sentimental! She can't be moved! She'll only call you crazy!

But that's who she is! If she cried and said, "How could you be so stupid?", she wouldn't be Li Ruo!

Lu Ran looked at her, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

He seemed to enjoy her long-awaited greeting.

Although this greeting is both hurtful and hurtful.

"Finished yelling?"

"without."

Li Ruo took a sip of water: "You're blocking the light from outside the door, move aside."

Lu Ran didn't allow it.

He stood there, looking down at her, his fiery red hair hanging down, obscuring his brows.

"Li Ruo," his voice was soft, "do you know how much I miss you?"

Li Ruo paused for a moment.

She looked up and met his eyes.

Those eyes held the longing that had burned for five years and the madness that had waited for five years.

His lips were trembling, his fingers were trembling, his whole body was trembling, like a string that had been stretched for too long and was about to snap.

Li Ruo looked at him for a while.

Then she reached out and slapped his wet head.

"My hair is dripping wet," she said. "Don't get my floor wet."

Lu Ran: "???"

Li Ruo added, "Zhou Si said that after five years I haven't shown any signs of aging, so maybe... I'm immortal?"

"He said he definitely wouldn't live to see the end of his life, and that after he dies of old age, the entire island, including this villa, will belong to me."

"So don't dirty my floor."

Lu Ran: "..."

Zhou Si: "..."

So, is she hoping I'll die soon so she can inherit my estate?

[Hahahaha, I laughed so hard I almost crowed!]

[Sister, you really have no heart! He's confessing his feelings! And you're talking about the floor inheritance!]

[Zhou Si's face instantly turned into a huge lump of black charcoal, hahaha! He's furious, isn't he! The sooner he dies, the sooner I can inherit his fortune, hahaha!]

She's still that quirky, mischievous Li Ruo, the only one who'll scold you, hit you, and complain about you! Li Ruo, whose tongue is more venomous than a snake's.

Lu Ran's head tilted to the side as she slapped him, his fiery red hair whipping out a stream of water droplets that splashed onto Li Ruo's nightgown.

Li Ruo glanced down at the water stains on her nightgown, then looked up at him expressionlessly.

"Lu Ran".

"Um?"

"Do you want to die?"

Lu Ran smiled.

That smile was big and bright, revealing two rows of white teeth, like fireworks exploding under the sun.

"Yes," he said. "I've been thinking about it for five years."

Li Ruo: "..."

She took a deep breath and handed him the water glass in her hand.

"I drank it."

Lu Ran was stunned.

"Your lips are all white."

Li Ruo's tone remained calm, as if she were talking about something insignificant:

"Go change your clothes quickly after you finish drinking. Don't die at my doorstep, or this villa will become a haunted house, and its value will drop."

As soon as this word comes out,

The two brothers, who had been at odds for five years, looked at each other with rare understanding.

Lu Ran took Li Ruo's water glass, grinned at Zhou Si with a mischievous grin, revealing a set of perfectly white teeth:

"Can you see the difference? Ruoruo is worried I'll die."

Zhou Si bit his cheek, his deep, sharp gaze fixed on Li Ruo:

"Are you in such a hurry for me to die?"

The man's gaze was like a knife piercing my eyes.

Li Ruo sensed something was wrong and instantly transformed into a timid, hesitant wife:

"Well...it's not that I'm in a particular hurry...oh no! I mean, I wish you eternal life!"

Lu Ran almost spat out his mouthful of water.

Upon hearing her blessing, Zhou Si unconsciously smiled a happy smile, instantly forgetting her earlier wish for his early death.

"From now on, you can use my money and me for the rest of your life, okay?"
