Chen Chen stood up and ran over, kicking the door open.

“Ran Ran, what’s wrong?!” Chen Chen looked anxious.

“Hurry, hurry!” Bai Ran jumped onto the bed and hugged the bedsheets tightly. Her face was filled with panic and fear as she pointed at the desk and shouted, “There’s a rat over there! It’s huge!”

“So it’s a rat.” Chen Chen heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that something bad had happened. “Don’t worry. I’ll look for it.”

However, it was normal for a girl to be afraid of this. He switched on the flashlight on his phone and turned on the desk lamp to increase the brightness of the bedroom. Then, he leaned over and searched under the desk.

“Why are there rats in your house? Didn’t you not come back for two years?” Chen Chen asked as he searched.

“I don’t know! Maybe there were some snacks that were not thrown away two years ago. I didn’t clean them up completely yesterday…” Bai Ran said, feeling a little aggrieved. She had really been frightened out of her wits just now.

“You, really…” Chen Chen said helplessly, but his hands were still searching for her.

“I don’t see anything? Did you see wrongly?” Chen Chen was a little puzzled.

“No! I’ve been most afraid of rats since I was young! It’s impossible for me to be wrong!” Bai Ran’s aggrieved voice carried a hint of crying as she looked around.

“There!”

Bai Ran watched as a small object flashed past under the closet.

Chen Chen followed her gaze and happened to see a rat coming out from under the closet. It was peeking its head out, looking for something.

“I saw it.” Chen Chen was very close to the rat. He froze and did not dare to move. He even lowered his voice. “Find something for me. A book or a shirt. Whatever can suppress it, anything is fine.”

“Ah, I’m afraid…” Bai Ran was a little hesitant.

Chen Chen was a little anxious. He could not drop the ball at this time, he had to resolve this problem so that she would not be afraid in the future!

However, he still controlled his temper and continued to say in a low voice, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here. It’ll be fine as long as we catch it.”

Don’t be afraid because he was here?

Was he protecting her again?

Upon hearing this, Bai Ran’s body suddenly felt like it had been electrocuted, as if it was filled with power.

She carefully took a novel from the bedside and moved slowly on the bed, afraid that she would alarm the rat.

At the corner of the bed, Bai Ran wondered if she should get down. If she did, it would be inevitable that something would happen. Wouldn’t all her previous efforts be in vain?

Bai Ran squatted down and stretched her hand toward Chen Chen.

Chen Chen also saw through her intentions. He gently turned his body and leaned forward in Bai Ran’s direction. He also reached out and tried to receive it.

The two of them approached each other in this strange posture…

Ah, closer…

Just a little…

They were almost there…

“Ah!” Bai Ran extended her arm too forcefully. She lost her balance and fell in Chen Chen’s direction.

Chen Chen’s hand, which had stopped in midair, reacted even faster than his brain. He grabbed Bai Ran, but he had also leaned forward just now and could not maintain his center of gravity either. The two of them fell down together.

The rat beside him had already run away when it sensed such a huge commotion.

Chen Chen’s hand hugged Bai Ran tightly, and Bai Ran’s face was firmly pressed against Chen Chen’s chest. Feeling the comforting embrace and the hot temperature of his chest, Bai Ran could not help but smile. Suddenly, she did not want to get up. She wanted to lie there forever.

As she thought about this, she could not help but rub Chen Chen’s body in enjoyment.

“Ran Ran, have you touched enough?”

This sentence suddenly came from above Bai Ran.

“Er…” Bai Ran stopped immediately.” I’ve touched enough. ”

After replying, Bai Ran wanted to scold herself. Was she stupid? How could she say that she has touched enough? He had caught her enjoying herself just now!

Bai Ran was so embarrassed that she only wanted to bury her face deeper.

Chen Chen felt Bai Ran’s movements and smiled to himself. Not to mention anything else, it felt good to be pressed down by this little girl. However, lying on the ground did not feel good. He smiled and said, “Then can you get up?”

“Ah… Okay, okay.” When Bai Ran heard this, her face turned even redder as she scrambled to get up.

In her panic, Bai Ran felt as if her elbow had accidentally bumped into something…

She sensed that something was wrong and stood up at lightning speed. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Chen Chen.

“Bai Ran, you did this on purpose!” Chen Chen covered that place in pain.

“I, I…” Bai Ran was at a loss. She lowered her head even more.

“What!” Chen Chen’s facial features contorted as he struggled to stand up.

It was too painful. This little girl was really strong!
