An Ran directly sprawled onto the bed, burying her small face into the crook of her arm.

Chi Cheng turned the doorknob but then suddenly paused, "If you don’t open the door, I’ll just come in."

Footsteps gradually approached, finally stopping by her bedside.

An Ran didn’t lift her head, but she knew that Chi Cheng was gazing at her at this moment.

The bed sank slightly as Chi Cheng sat behind her and reached out to hold her in his arms.

An Ran didn’t cry, but her eyes were red, looking just like a wounded kitten.

He instinctively stretched out his hand to touch An Ran’s cheek, "Where does it hurt?"

Before his hand could touch her, An Ran turned her head to dodge it.

The girl bit her lower lip, meeting his gaze directly, "You’re leaving tomorrow, aren’t you?"

Chi Cheng looked at her quietly.

"If I hadn’t come back earlier today, when were you planning to tell me?" An Ran’s voice was aggrieved, tinged with a hint of accusation, "Were you going to wait until you left Hua Country completely before telling me?"

"Yes."

He actually said yes!

He just agreed like that!

An Ran felt both angry and wronged.

But looking at An Ran’s expression, Chi Cheng suddenly burst into laughter.

Poking An Ran’s cheek with his finger, "I originally planned to give Ranran a surprise tomorrow, but now I have to tell you ahead of time."

Damn, he’s still grinning like that.

An Ran angrily pushed his hand away, "Surprise? It’s indeed a big surprise! You’re leaving, aren’t you? It’s the first time I’ve seen such a surprise!"

"I am indeed going back," Chi Cheng looked at her with a faint smile, "Taking you with me, okay?"

An Ran was stunned.

Taking me... together? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Does brother mean, taking me with him to that country?

"But..." An Ran opened her mouth, bewildered, "I have to go to school tomorrow."

"I’ll tutor you personally these days."

"What about mom and dad, and school..."

"I’ll talk to them personally."

Ah, ah, ah, ah.

An Ran’s previously gloomy mood was instantly lifted by Chi Cheng’s words!

Brother is taking me along.

Just the two of us.

To a completely unfamiliar country.

For An Ran, who’s either studying or studying every day for the college entrance exam, it’s simply a heaven-sent vacation opportunity!

Oops, maybe using the word ’vacation’ isn’t accurate, but who cares!

"Brother!" An Ran directly leaped into Chi Cheng’s arms, looking up with sparkling eyes, "Will you really take me with you? Don’t go back on your word."

Chi Cheng chuckled lowly, rubbing her head, "Happy now? Not mad at me anymore? Hmm?"

Whatever Chi Cheng promised An Ran, he would definitely fulfill.

"How long will we be gone?"

"At most three to five days."

"Will we get to meet the President?" An Ran was a bit excited.

After all, he’s the highest leader of a country.

Chi Cheng smiled faintly, using his fingertip to caress An Ran’s cheek.

He had everything planned out well in advance.

There was a reason for taking An Ran back this time.

If not for this reason, he wouldn’t have agreed to go back with those people.

As his mind drifted, he felt the warmth from his fingertips.

Chi Cheng’s eyes darkened slightly, and he immediately tested An Ran’s forehead, "Do you have a fever?"

Oh yes!

An Ran seemed to suddenly remember and nodded obediently, "It’s because of the fever that I came back early."
