Chapter 550 Xu Ran is Simply the Bane of Women_1

"Xu Ran, how did you get injured? Is it serious?" Meng Yiran said with concern. Xu Ran is so strong, who could have hurt him? Was it a powerhouse from the Martial Soul Hall? Meng Yiran was somewhat puzzled.

"Don't worry, it's nothing. This little injury will heal in a couple of days." Xu Ran smiled and teased with a hooked finger, "How have you been these past few years? Have you missed me?"

"I..."

Meng Yiran's heart blossomed with joy at Xu Ran's bold words but was at a loss for how to respond. Her face turned slightly red, showing her shyness. As a girl, she hardly had the courage to say such bold words.

Ever since she was saved by Xu Ran in the Aquipeia Forest, his image had lingered in her heart. Listening to the legends about Xu Ran at the academy, her fondness for him had grown deeper.

But these things, she was too shy to speak of.

A girl in love is always so reserved.

"What's wrong? Have you fallen for someone else?" Xu Ran pinched Meng Yiran's soft cheek and looked around.

The people around were utterly astounded at the sight of Xu Ran showing such affection to a beauty, their eyes staring intently.

Geniuses have it good, huh, able to woo girls so effortlessly. No, damn it, they're even throwing themselves at him, that's just too comfortable.

In that moment, they truly understood the difference.

Geniuses are not the same as ordinary people. When you have great talent, not just strength, but status, beauties, everything comes flocking to you.

Those stunning beauties and genius girls they could only watch from afar had a deep connection with Xu Ran.

In a few years, they might even bear Xu Ran's children.

Ah, such is the disparity.

However, once they knew Xu Ran's identity, no one dared to cross him. Xu Ran was a legendary extraordinary genius, said to have strength comparable to that of a Titled Douluo. Although the authenticity of these rumors was uncertain, there was no doubt about Xu Ran's strength.

"Not a chance. I would never fancy those people from our clan."

Unlike Xu Ran, who had long been accustomed to being the center of attention, Meng Yiran felt shy being watched by so many people and being held so intimately by Xu Ran.

Especially now, when her teammates from the Beast Academy had seen her, she felt extremely bashful. But being held by Xu Ran, she was reluctant to let go. She feared that once she did, all the happiness would vanish. She had finally seen Xu Ran again and could feel the real him; she did not want to leave.

"You're so grown up and still haven't found someone you like? Could it be you're waiting for me? Just say if you've missed me, I won't mind," Xu Ran whispered into Meng Yiran's beautiful temples, with a gentle and warm breath tickling her ear and sliding down her white, tender neck, into the body wrapped by the school uniform, as if being kissed by the Wind.

A tingling sensation made Meng Yiran involuntarily whimper.

"Xu Ran, you, don't..." Meng Yiran felt somewhat embarrassed, bowing her head and not daring to look at Xu Ran.

But in her heart, she was a bit gleeful and anxious.

She didn't know whether Xu Ran truly liked her or was just teasing her for fun. There were so many pretty girls around Xu Ran, none inferior in looks to her, and their talents far surpassed hers. She felt a bit inferior. She wanted to get close to Xu Ran but instinctively felt she was not good enough for him.

"Don't what?" Xu Ran buried his nose in Meng Yiran's lush hair, taking in the elegant scent. It was a natural fragrance, unmarred by any cosmetics. Xu Ran liked the scent of a girl's hair; it was clean and pure.

"We are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, we shouldn't..." Meng Yiran said softly, her hands twisting together as she played with her delicate white fingers. Meng Yiran was uncertain, harboring a hopeful yet uneasy heart.

Suddenly, she wanted a clear response from Xu Ran.

This unsettled, ambiguous feeling left her heart in chaos.

If Xu Ran liked her, she would work hard to better herself and become more substantial, to be with Xu Ran in her most perfect form. And if Xu Ran didn't mean it that way, she wouldn't regret it.

Even if Xu Ran didn't want to marry her but only thought of making her a confidante, seeing her whenever needed, she would be very content.

After all, with so many women around Xu Ran, even if she became his wife, the time they would spend together in the future wouldn't be much. Even if she were only Xu Ran's confidante, though it might provoke much gossip from the outside world, she'd have no complaints or regrets.

"Who says we can't have a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?" Xu Ran ruffled Meng Yiran's hair.

"Xu Ran, what did you say?"

Meng Yiran's body stiffened, and the sudden surprise made it difficult for her to react. At that moment, she couldn't even be shy and quickly lifted her beautiful face, looking expectantly at Xu Ran.

She hoped Xu Ran would say it again—that devilish sound lingered in her mind, and she was a bit confused again. Had she just imagined it, or had Xu Ran really spoken?

Could it be that Xu Ran really wanted her?

"I won't say it again; I never repeat my words," Xu Ran shook his head.

"Ah?" Meng Yiran's pretty face fell, and with a sour expression, she blamed herself for not listening carefully before.

"Then what do you really mean?"

Meng Yiran pouted, her face a picture of woe as she looked at Xu Ran.

"This is what I mean." Xu Ran wrapped one arm around Meng Yiran's slender waist and supported her head with the other, leaning in and pressing his lips onto hers.

"Do you understand now?" After a long while, Xu Ran finally let go of Meng Yiran. Looking at her flushed cheeks, he said tenderly. Meng Yiran's lips were very sweet and soft—and since she was still a virgin, this must have been her first kiss, naturally very pleasant.

"Hmm."

Meng Yiran shyly lowered her head, but Xu Ran lifted her face again. Their eyes met, and Meng Yiran felt her heart melting, wishing she could fuse herself into Xu Ran's body.

Even if Meng Yiran hadn't known Xu Ran previously, his treatment alone would likely have made her fall for him, not to mention that Meng Yiran already had feelings for Xu Ran.

"Damn Xu Ran, a playboy, truly the nemesis of women."

"No wonder Xue'er is so fond of this playboy Xu Ran."

"I've been in a daze these past few days…"

Bi Bidong stood behind Xu Ran, watching him kiss Meng Yiran with such affection that her legs went weak. She forcibly turned her head away, not daring to look any longer for fear of making an indecent spectacle of herself in public.

Xu Ran had an incredible grasp of a girl's mind. With his abilities, there was probably not a single girl in the entire world who could escape the palm of Xu Ran's hand.

Xu Ran was simply born to enchant girls.

Even without his strength, relying on whatever skills he had learned from who knows where, he could still make girls fall head over heels.
