Chapter 2251

"Huh?" Liu Ran couldn't help but be stunned, asking with a face full of astonishment, "You... what did you just say?"

Zhou Anqin rolled her eyes at him and replied ungraciously, "I said you look so ugly in that police uniform that it's unbearable to look at!"

"That's not right!" Liu Ran said eagerly. "You clearly said that if I put on shoulder epaulets, I would look even more handsome!"

Zhou Anqin said with a cold face, "Since you've already heard clearly, why are you still asking?"

"Hehehe..."

Liu Ran actually giggled like a child, while raising his right hand to scratch the back of his head.

"I just wanted to confirm it again."

Zhou Anqin gave a light hum and asked, "You haven't eaten breakfast yet, have you?"

Liu Ran nodded like a pounding pestle and replied, "I haven't eaten yet."

Zhou Anqin said, "Let's go. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll treat you to breakfast."

Hearing this, Liu Ran was so excited he almost jumped up. Although Zhou Anqin hadn't explicitly expressed anything, judging by her current attitude, it at least meant that the efforts and choices he had made previously, even if not entirely correct, were definitely not wrong.

"No, how can I let a girl treat me? Let me treat you instead. How about we go to Dicos?"

Zhou Anqin shook her head slightly and answered slowly, "I can't leave the school. Let's just eat something at the school cafeteria. The taste is a bit worse, but it's more affordable."

"No problem!" Liu Ran nodded without hesitation. For him, it didn't really matter where they ate breakfast right now; as long as he could be with Zhou Anqin, that was the happiest and most blissful thing.

On the side of the road opposite the main gate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, a white van had been parked for the past few days. Inside were two people, who were subordinates of Wen Sancao.

When they saw the scene of Zhou Anqin and Liu Ran meeting at the gate, one of the youths with a head full of natural curls immediately picked up his mobile phone and dialed out. Soon, Lei Ming's voice came through the receiver.

"Who is it?"

"Brother Lei, it's Curly!" the curly-haired youth said. "There's a situation here at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. That Miss Zhou met with a man in a police uniform at the school gate. They chatted for a few minutes, and then they entered the school together."

"Wearing a police uniform?" Lei Ming's voice immediately rose a few degrees. "Is that person a police officer?"

Curly said with an uncertain tone, "He seems to be a police officer; he's wearing a police uniform."

Lei Ming was silent for a moment. "You guys keep an eye on him for me, investigate his background clearly, and report to me at any time."

"Don't worry, Brother Lei," Curly patted his chest to guarantee. "I guarantee I'll investigate everything for you, even what color underwear he's wearing and how many times he goes to the bathroom at night."

"I do believe in this ability of yours, Curly," Lei Ming said. "I still have to report this matter to the Third Master. If you handle this well, the Third Master won't treat you unfairly."

"Brother Lei!" Even though Lei Ming couldn't see him, Curly was full of fawning smiles. "The Third Master is high and mighty, and a small person like me can't reach him.

I only know that I was brought up by Brother Lei and only work for Brother Lei. Whether the Third Master treats me unfairly or not, I really don't care."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Lei Ming said in a stern tone. "We are all working for the Third Master. Don't say such things in the future."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Curly agreed hurriedly, but there wasn't a hint of fear on his face; instead, he carried a smile. "In the future, I'll just keep some things to myself and definitely won't say them."

"You..." Lei Ming said helplessly. "Then that's that."

Curly looked at the mobile phone in his hand, gave a laugh, threw it aside, and then took out a cigarette and lit it.

In the cafeteria of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, breakfast time had already passed, but because today was Sunday, there were quite a few students in the cafeteria, some still with messy hair, yawning while eating.

Zhou Anqin and Liu Ran entered the cafeteria and first came to the serving window. Zhou Anqin said with a smile, "Order whatever you like to eat."

"I'm an omnivore," Liu Ran said very attentively, picking up a tray. "I'll eat anything that's edible. It mainly depends on what you like to eat."

Zhou Anqin shook her head. "I've already eaten in the morning; I won't eat anymore."

"Huh?" Liu Ran was very disappointed. "You're not eating?"

"Stop dawdling!" Zhou Anqin stared and asked, "Are you going to eat or not?"

"Eat!" Liu Ran said as a conditioned reflex, then said to the auntie serving the food, "Auntie, give me a portion of braised pork, a portion of stir-fried vermicelli with cabbage, and give me a big bowl of rice!"

The auntie serving the food knew Zhou Anqin and asked with a face full of curiosity, "Girl, is this your boyfriend?"

"No!" Zhou Anqin first shook her head lightly, but immediately added, "Not right now. Whether he will be in the future depends on his performance."

When Zhou Anqin said "no" without hesitation, Liu Ran felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, and his whole person almost collapsed.

Immediately after hearing the second half of the sentence, his body felt as if it had been injected with a stimulant, making his heart, which had already sunk into the abyss, instantly reignite with the fire of hope.

Liu Ran's waist straightened up instantly, his chest puffed out high, his head lifted proudly, and then he said loudly with a confident smile.

"Auntie, please give me another portion of four-joy meatballs and a portion of stewed beef with tomatoes."

Hearing Liu Ran's request, the auntie couldn't help but laugh out loud. While skillfully serving the food, she continued to praise Zhou Anqin with a face full of smiles.

"Anqin is a good girl who is hard to find even with a lantern. Not only is she beautiful and good at her studies, but she's also a student union cadre at our Central Academy of Fine Arts.

Young man, if one day you can really marry such an excellent girl as Anqin home, that is definitely a blessing you cultivated in your past life. So, you must treat her well and never bully her."

Liu Ran nodded and said very seriously, "I've set my heart on Anqin for this life. No one is allowed to bully her, including me."

Zhou Anqin felt a bit embarrassed and urged, "The food is served, hurry up and find a seat to sit down and eat. Why is there so much nonsense?"

"Alright!"

Liu Ran carried the tray and found an empty seat to sit down. After Zhou Anqin sat opposite him, he used his chopsticks to spear a four-joy meatball and took a big bite.

"The four-joy meatballs are delicious, too delicious."

Zhou Anqin said ungraciously, "If it's delicious, eat more. If it's not enough, go ask for more. Can you stop shouting? People around are looking at you."

"I'm not ugly, so why should I be afraid of them looking?"

Liu Ran didn't care at all. In Zhou Anqin's view, this was just his nature being hard to change. Perhaps when he truly puts on the police uniform, he will be a bit more steady.
