Still want to use the strategy of slowing me down and try to deceive me.

Confess and get a lighter sentence, resist and go home strictly for Chinese New Year.

I really believed in your nonsense, Cheng Xiaoshi.

Venting aside, sometimes you still have to act dumb.

Time: Where can I hide? The wind today is so noisy!

Cheng Xiaoshi is a female gamer, and a very troublesome one at that. In LingFan's eyes, Cheng Xiaoshi is even more headache-inducing than some mini-bosses.

Cheng Xiaoshi: Huh? Do you dare say that you weren't intentionally avoiding me? I turned invisible as soon as I came, but I'm a privileged VIP, I can still see you even when I'm invisible!

Time: ...

Maybe I should delete and block her as a friend.

LingFan thought for a moment and decided to remove Cheng Xiaoshi from his friends list.

Cheng Xiaoshi: You dare block me, try it and see! Believe me, we're not finished!

Are you a mind reader, Cheng Xiaoshi? LingFan could only vent with a weak sarcasm, his face slightly stiff.

Ye Shengge: Oh, I died drowning in the fish pond with Wei Yang just now. Being a fisherman is not easy. What's this? As soon as I turn around, I see a couple fighting?

Time: Who the hell are you calling a couple? Ye Shengge, have you been fishing too much recently?

Ye Shengge: Oh, it's so itchy. Come and hit me, Time, show me what you've got.

LingFan could feel his temples throb at that moment.

Cheng Xiaoshi: Time, you promised to help me reach the undefeated grandmaster level in the arena, didn't you?

Time: That was something you said yourself. I clearly remember that I didn't agree to it.

Cheng Xiaoshi: You! Get away from me! I never want to see you again!

After saying that, Cheng Xiaoshi's profile picture turned black in the friends list.

Wei Yang: Time, you really don't understand romance.

Time: Don't blame me, I really didn't promise her. I feel like I have a lot on my plate recently, and it would be even more inappropriate if I promised her and couldn't fulfill it.

Time: Besides, I don't even know how good my PVP abilities are now. Ever since I reached the undefeated grandmaster rank, I haven't played PVP.

Wei Yang: Actually, as long as you promise her, it doesn't matter if you have the time or not. She'll be happy as long as you promise.

After saying something that made LingFan feel inexplicable, Wei Yang disappeared.

Cheng Xiaoshi's character is a female mage. If LingFan has time to play on her account, it would be quick since all the other professions are the same except for talent differences.

When I have free time, I'll ask her for her account and help her level up.

Sighing, feeling clueless, LingFan glanced at the time on the computer screen.

It's two in the afternoon, so it's best to try the new dungeon with a pick-up group.

Wait, I think I left a lesson plan at Xu Yanran's place.

LingFan thought frantically, but he also wanted to play the game, and most importantly...

LingFan checked the system panel and saw that there were less than ten hours remaining in the top right corner. LingFan thought it would be better not to complicate things.

Let's call Xu Yanran and ask, after making a decision, LingFan took out his phone and quickly found Xu Yanran's number.

Just as he was about to dial, LingFan sneezed.

Strange, is someone talking about me?

There were only a few numbers in his contact list.

Most likely, Xu Yanran has seen it, so I can only pray that it won't cause any misunderstandings.

While thinking this, LingFan dialed Xu Yanran's number.

At this moment, Xu Yanran and Chu Yan were shopping in the city center. Behind them, two undercover bodyguards discreetly followed Xu Yanran and Chu Yan, unnoticed by passersby or Xu Yanran.

Their posture indicated their professionalism.

"Yanran, why didn't you come out in the morning? We wasted so much time." Chu Yan complained softly as he walked alongside Xu Yanran.

"I overslept in the morning." Xu Yanran apologized to her friend.

"Alright, but it's really rare for you to oversleep. It seems like you've been studying too hard recently. You should relax and find a balance between work and rest." Chu Yan said in understanding.In the morning, Xu Yanran did wake up rather late, and her eyes were a bit swollen from crying.

Being beautiful is a girl's nature, and Xu Yanran naturally didn't want to go out with swollen eyes.

Hmph! It's all LingFan's fault, Xu Yanran thought to herself.

At this moment, Xu Yanran's phone rang, and as soon as she heard the ringtone, she knew who it was, so she quickly took out her phone from her pocket.

This was LingFan's unique phone ringtone when calling, which Xu Yanran had specifically set.

Chu Yan looked at Xu Yanran with confusion when she heard the sound. As Xu Yanran's best friend, and also using the same phone model as Xu Yanran, she naturally knew that this wasn't Xu Yanran's usual phone ringtone, but a special one for when a certain number called.

After taking out her phone, Xu Yanran immediately answered the call.

Chu Yan quietly approached her best friend, leaning closer to listen.

"Hey, Yanran? It's LingFan. Are you feeling better today? If you have any problems, you can tell me, okay?" LingFan's slightly lazy voice came through the phone to Xu Yanran's ear.

Knowing that Xu Yanran wasn't in a good mood yesterday, LingFan had asked first. LingFan had considered her way of speaking before making the call.

Calling her Yanran, since Su Moran referred to Xu Yanran this way yesterday, perhaps calling her like this would have an unexpected effect on Xu Yanran.

"I'm fine now, thanks to you, LingFan. It's so good to have you. Why did you think of calling me today?" As soon as Xu Yanran heard LingFan's voice and the affectionate nickname, she couldn't help but smile, and her voice became gentle.

She guessed that LingFan called her mostly about her teaching plan.

Xu Yanran blinked her big eyes a few times, seemingly thinking of something, and a mischievous gleam suddenly flashed in her eyes.

Many men on the street couldn't take their eyes off Xu Yanran at this moment.

Chu Yan, who was beside her, was very surprised when she heard the male voice and saw Xu Yanran's behavior.

She could tell that this voice wasn't Xu Zhonghao, Xu Yanran's father, but she felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, probably heard it recently.

"Well, here's the thing. When I left yesterday, I left a notebook at your place, so I wanted to ask when it would be convenient for me to pick it up."

"Oh, is that so? Can Xiao Fan tell me what was written in it?"

...Although Xu Yanran's words conveyed that she hadn't seen it, LingFan already heard from the words "Xiao Fan" that Xu Yanran definitely saw it, and possibly even finished reading it.

Thinking of this, droplets of sweat dripped from LingFan's head.

"Well, it's your teaching plan, Yanran." LingFan thought that it would be better to tell the truth.

"Xiao Fan really wouldn't lie to me. I did take a look at that teaching plan. I didn't expect Xiao Fan to be like this."

Oh no, this may be the end of everything in life, LingFan felt like all her energy had been drained.

Wait, this is strange. There was no anger in Xu Yanran's tone, but rather she seemed to be happy.

"I wrote the teaching plan to help you improve your grades faster, Yanran. Please understand, okay?" LingFan felt like a sacrificial lamb.

"I will definitely understand you. I believe Xiao Fan feels the same way about me, right?"

"Yes, yes, I do." LingFan quickly replied.

Whatever you say, my lady.

"Oh, so insincere. Well, can Xiao Fan promise me something? If you promise, I'll give the materials back to you." Xu Yanran's voice became very gentle and pleasant to hear.

"What is it?" LingFan, upon hearing this, couldn't help but sit up straight, feeling tingles all over her body.

"Well... I haven't thought of it yet. I'll let you know when I do, okay?"

"Alright then, I promise."

"Really?""Indeed, a gentleman keeps his word."

"It's hard to catch up, but I trust you, Xiaofan. You can come and get it anytime. If it's convenient for you today, I can bring it to you. Just give me your address."

No, I can't tell Xu Yanran my address. LingFan's subconscious reminds himself.

Not to mention the state of his dog house.

LingFan instinctively feels that it is not wise to directly tell Xu Yanran his address.

"Today is not very convenient, I'm not at home. I'll come and get it from you another day. Thank you, Yanran."

Tsk... Brother Ling is so stingy. Next time when I track Brother Ling, I must find out where Xiaofan lives. Xu Yanran muttered softly.

"What were you just saying, Yanran? I didn't hear it very clearly."

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm shopping with my best friend."

"Alright then, I won't disturb you two. I'll call you in advance when I come." LingFan tactfully prepares to end the call.

"Okay, Xiaofan, let's contact each other next time." Xu Yanran seems a bit disappointed.

"Okay, have fun." "Okay, bye, Brother Ling~" Afterwards, Xu Yanran only moves her phone away from her ear after LingFan hangs up the call.

...LingFan sits in front of the computer and supports his chin with his hand. Brother Ling...sounds so familiar.

Wait a minute!

LingFan suddenly realizes something!

Isn't this the way Su Moran used to address him?
