Then, Xiaolan used her fingertips to apply the ointment in gentle circles on Chen Nuo's muscular back.

Eri didn't tell Ran the details of the incident, so Ran only knew that Chen Nuo was forced to fight someone in order to save others.

Perhaps that's why Xiaolan imagined more scenes of Chen Nuo bravely fighting against bad guys to save people, which is why she felt somewhat guilty.

Xiao Lan's hands were very soft. Although she was applying ointment, Chen Nuo felt more like she was giving him a massage.

The delicate fingertips brushing against the skin seem to eliminate all fatigue.

The air was filled with the mixed scent of ointment and Xiaolan's fragrance.

Later, when applying the ointment to his shoulders, Chen Nuo turned his head slightly and could see Xiao Lan's fair little hands out of the corner of his eye.

Her hands looked a year or two younger than others; they were long, slender, and fair, with neatly trimmed nails.

However, I don't know if it's because of the oily plaster covering her hands, but I feel that Xiaolan's hands are gradually becoming a little rough.

Just as Chen Nuo was secretly looking at his hands, a soft strand of hair fell down and brushed against his cheek.

Chen Nuo subconsciously took a light breath; the girl's fragrance filled his nose and smelled wonderful.

Half a day later, Chen Nuo realized that Xiao Lan didn't seem to intend to take the hair away.

Ok?

Chen Nuo turned around and realized that Xiao Lan hadn't dared to look at him at all.

She gazed at the night outside the window, her horns on her head seeming to steam, and her ears were bright red.

"What? I thought it was a special invitation," Chen Nuo thought to himself.

But this hair is really good quality, soft and silky.

Bored, Chen Nuo gently pinched a strand of hair and began to play with it curiously.

Human hair has no sense of touch, so Xiaolan was unaware that her hair had been grabbed.

A few minutes passed like this.

"Ran-chan, what are you doing?!" Conan's voice came from the doorway as it opened.

Xiaolan was startled and sprang up like a frightened animal, falling to the ground in a near-falling position.

The little feet, clad in white socks, took a few steps back on the floor, trying to regain their balance.

But at that moment, the other end of her hair was caught on Chen Nuo's fingertip.

The strands of hair stretched into a straight line in the air.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Xiao Lan let out a painful scream.

Seeing this, Chen Nuo quickly got up as well. In a flash, he tried to shake off the hair tangled in his fingers and moved closer to Xiao Lan.

However, because he got up in a hurry, he lost his balance and stumbled, almost colliding with Xiaolan.

Conan's eyes widened as he watched Chen Nuo about to throw himself into Ran's arms.

Conan headbutted Chen Nuo, preventing the tragic NTR incident from happening.

Whether Conan activated his leg-strengthening shoes or harbored resentment, his headbutt was incredibly powerful.

It knocked Chen Nuo directly onto the bedside table, knocking over Eri's photo.

The room immediately descended into chaos.

"Conan, why are you so disobedient?" Ran stood up with a stern face, her little fists clenched together and trembling, clearly wanting to knock a few big red envelopes on Conan's head.

Upon seeing this, Conan quickly fled.

Xiao Lan angrily chased after him.

Chen Nuo struggled to his feet and put the photos he had bumped into and the tissues that had fallen to the ground back together.

Just as he was getting dressed, he suddenly realized that Xiaolan had probably applied too much ointment because she was nervous, and it hadn't dried yet, so he couldn't put on his clothes.

Having no other choice, Chen Nuo took out a tissue and wiped off some of the excess light yellow liniment from his back.

He had his back to the mirror, and his movements were a little awkward, but he still managed to wipe it all off.

The crumpled paper with light yellow ointment stuck to it was casually tossed on the bedside table.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed a photo of Eri Kisaki on the bedside table, which also seemed to have some light yellow, transparent ointment on it.

Maybe it was because Conan bumped into him and his back was accidentally touched?

Chen Nuo didn't think much of it, walked over and picked up the photo, intending to wipe off the things on it with a piece of paper.

squeak-

The door was pushed open.

Eri Kisaki stood at the doorway, holding a bowl of noodles.

She changed into a light-colored loungewear outfit, her hair loose, her snow-white calves in slippers, her partially exposed ankles adding to the allure.

"Chen Nuojun, you must be hungry, right? I specially... um?"

Eri Kisaki's gaze fell on the photo in Chen Nuo's hand, especially the area around the black-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses, covered by a strange object...

There were several crumpled pieces of paper with strange substances on the bedside table. Chen Nuo sat shirtless on the edge of the bed, holding her photo and a crumpled piece of paper in her hand.

The whole room had a wonderful atmosphere.

Chen Nuo: "I'm not hungry, but if you give me a chance to explain, I might eat a little."

Eri slammed the door shut, and Conan's snickering echoed down the hallway.

.

I left Eri's house about twenty minutes later.

The temperature at night is completely different from that during the day. Many pedestrians nearby were wearing long sleeves, but even so, when the cold wind blew, people couldn't help but hunch their shoulders.

The street is surrounded by office buildings, so it's very quiet at night. Across the street, a cat is perched on a trash can, staring at him.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that the cat is stepping on half a braised fish, which seems to be its dinner.

Seeing this, Chen Nuo's stomach also started growling.

He didn't get to eat the noodles that Eri Kisaki cooked. Although he managed to explain it later, she had already given the bowl of noodles to Conan in a fit of anger.

He watched as Conan glared at him with resentment while struggling to eat his noodles.

Chen Nuo felt that he had escaped a disaster.

He hasn't eaten much all day. If he eats highly stimulating food on an empty stomach, his stomach probably won't be able to handle it.

Just as he was thinking this, a gust of wind blew a fallen leaf and a piece of paper toward him.

The paper landed squarely on his cheek.

Chen Nuo took it down and saw that the words "Oshima Ramen Shop, ticket allows you to visit the circus performance" were written in large, eye-catching characters.

The most prominent feature on the entire flyer is a picture of a lion eating noodles.

Chen Nuo wasn't particularly interested in the circus, but the ramen in the picture looked quite appetizing.

With a cool breeze blowing, it seems like a good idea to go out and have a bowl of hot ramen.

Chen Nuo glanced at the address and headed towards the ramen shop.

After taking the subway for less than half an hour, Chen Nuo got off at the Commercial Street Station.

As you exit the subway station, you'll see an inflatable clown-shaped figure standing at a nearby intersection.

The clown doll was as tall as a two-story building, with a comical expression and a red nose that stood out in the night. Several mischievous children sat on its large, pointed boots.

Not far behind the clown, there was a red and white circus tent with a pointed roof.

Judging from the area it occupies, this circus must be quite large.

Unfortunately, Chen Nuo wasn't very interested in the circus; he planned to go straight to the ramen shop and have a bowl of steaming hot ramen.

As I walked along the sidewalk and passed the clown doll, I suddenly heard the rhythmic sound of high heels clicking on the ground beside me.

"Excuse me, Mr. Taurus, I already have a boyfriend." A somewhat familiar voice came from the side.

Chen Nuo turned around and saw that it was Miyano Akemi standing in front of him.

Her cheeks were flushed, and she was walking unsteadily in her high heels, so it seemed she had been drinking.

"Miss Yamei, don't lie to me. Since you started working here, your boyfriend hasn't picked you up from work even in a downpour, and there's no trace of a man on your phone's screensaver." The guy called Niu Nan had obviously done his homework.

“Because he’s very busy, we…” Miyano Akemi was halfway through her sentence when she saw Chen Nuo standing in front of her.

Her eyes held a hint of fear.

Judging from the man calling her Yamei's name earlier, she might already be working at a bank, probably worried about her real identity being leaked.

But before Chen Nuo could come to his senses...

Akemi Miyano unexpectedly walked up to him and hugged his arm: "Honey, why are you here? Didn't I say I was having dinner with my colleagues tonight? Just let me have some more time..."

While acting coquettishly, she took the opportunity to lean close to Chen Nuo's ear and whisper:

"Help me out of this. My name is Hirota Masami."

She explained her purpose in just a few words.

Chen Nuo thought for a moment and said, "I just happen to want to eat at this ramen place. You do your thing, and we'll go home together when we're done."

Chen Nuo portrayed the image of a boyfriend who misses his girlfriend very well.

The balding man looked at Chen Nuo with jealous eyes, but he couldn't say anything more at this point.

Akemi Miyano's other colleagues, noticing that she had been missing for so long, also came out of the restaurant together.

Everyone stared at Chen Nuo with surprise.

"Your boyfriend is so handsome! He's so muscular, is he an athlete?" Asashima, a colleague at the bank, had stars in her eyes.

Akemi Miyano: "He's very sturdy and strong..."

The group stood on the street and chatted for a while.

Later, Chen Nuo felt so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she took the initiative to say, "Then I'll go eat some noodles first. Contact me after you're done."
