The doorbell rang, and Lu Fan instantly remembered the takeout he had ordered. He jumped out of bed and rushed straight for the door, failing to notice Liu Ruyan's small hand reaching out behind him.
"Lu Fan, you're not wearing—"
Unfortunately, Lu Fan had already rushed out of the bedroom in his excitement and pulled open the front door.
"Ah! Pervert!"
A young female delivery rider with a phone mounted on her shoulder screamed and shyly covered her face.
Lu Fan's face stiffened in embarrassment. Only then did he remember that he was fucking naked. He grabbed one of Liu Ruyan's scarves from a nearby rack and wrapped it around himself.
"Sorry, miss! I was in a hurry to pick up my takeout. Sorry!"
"Are you insane? Ah, my stream... It's over! You lunatic got my livestream banned!"
"Li... livestream? I was fucking livestreamed just now?"
Lu Fan's expression was a sight to behold. Stretching his head over for a look, he saw that the female rider's stream had over three thousand viewers. But the stream was now just a black screen; it had clearly been shut down.
At that sight, an inexplicable fury shot straight to Lu Fan's head. Pointing at the delivery woman, he began cursing.
"You're the fucking crazy one! Instead of delivering food properly or streaming properly, what kind of bullshit is livestreaming while delivering takeout? Hope you step in shit the moment you leave and fall to your death!"
"You're a young female delivery rider dressed like this—isn't this just that uniform-fetish borderline porn crap? You deserved to get banned! They should ban you permanently and wipe that smug look off your face!"
With a dark expression, Lu Fan snatched the plastic bag from the rider's hand and slammed the door shut.
The rider's face darkened. In the instant before the door closed, she cursed loudly.
"You psycho! Why don't you go get hit by a car, you brain-dead idiot!"
"Hehehe..."
Wrapped in the bedsheet, Liu Ruyan watched Lu Fan make a fool of himself. She felt inexplicably delighted and could not help covering her mouth as she giggled.
"What are you laughing for? Hurry over and eat. You need to be full to have the strength to work."
"Ah!"
Liu Ruyan cried out. Lu Fan's words instantly drained the color from her face. Thinking that this fool was going to bully her again, tears welled up in her eyes.
Liu Ruyan had always been the sort of sexy, cool, and proud goddess. Now that she was on the verge of tears, she looked so pitiful that anyone would want to pull her into their arms and dote on her.
Lu Fan also realized he had gone a little too far with her. This woman might be calculating and fond of scheming against people, but she had ultimately given him the most precious thing she possessed.
"All right, come eat. You worked hard just now, so eat more good food and build yourself back up. At worst, I'll toss you around less later."
Lu Fan softened his voice. Only then did Liu Ruyan wipe her tears away, get up and dress herself, then sit across from Lu Fan and start devouring the food before her.
Lu Fan had draped one of Liu Ruyan's bathrobes over himself. It looked rather absurd, but at least it covered his naked body.
Otherwise, if someone else showed up, he would embarrass himself again.
Thinking about how he had just put on a nude show for three thousand people in a livestream, Lu Fan felt as sick as if he had eaten shit. His twenty years of innocence! No, wait... he had given his innocence to Liu Mengran yesterday.
"Forget it. It's already happened, so there's no point overthinking it. No one recorded that stream just now, right?"
Lu Fan comforted himself, then pulled the fully dressed Liu Ruyan over to sit down and eat.
The takeout he had ordered was a lavish seafood feast. Even with Liu Ruyan's circumstances, she could not afford to eat such a feast every day.

On top of that, she had truly been exhausted from earlier. Once she started eating, she could not stop.
After filling his stomach, Lu Fan sat there drinking an ice-cold beer. Though the weather in May was not terribly hot yet, there was already a hint of warmth in the air. Eating barbecue, drinking a little beer, and admiring the campus belle before him, Lu Fan suddenly felt that life was unbelievably wonderful.
As he thought about it, a foolish grin unconsciously appeared on Lu Fan's face once more. Liu Ruyan's heart skipped a beat when she saw it. This guy's full and satisfied. He's probably thinking up some bad way to torment me again. Her delicate body instinctively shifted away to the side.
Lu Fan raised an eyebrow and shot her an annoyed glare.
"What the hell are you hiding from? This room is so small—can you hide outside the walls?"
"Lu Fan, you... aren't all men the same? When you see a pretty girl, all you think about is getting into bed with her."
"Nonsense!"
Lu Fan slapped the table and glared furiously at Liu Ruyan, feeling that his dignity had suffered the ultimate insult.
"Liu Ruyan, how can you lump me together with them? When they see you, they want to get into bed with you. I'm different!"
"I'm not picky about the location. I can accept anywhere."
Lu Fan's words left Liu Ruyan speechless. She rolled her eyes and glared at him. You really are shameless!
A pleasant ringtone sounded. Liu Ruyan glanced at her phone, and her expression immediately became tense. She guiltily flicked a glance at Lu Fan and hurriedly put the phone on silent.
How could that little move escape Lu Fan's notice? He instantly guessed who was calling.
"Was it a call from a whole herd of pigs?"
"Uh... his name is Zhu Yiqun."
Knowing she could not hide it from him, Liu Ruyan admitted it readily.
"The name isn't important. It's all the same! From now on, cut off contact with that herd of pigs. You're not allowed to attend those so-called high-society banquets again."
"Those so-called high-society banquets of yours are nothing but trashy gatherings full of deception, male prostitutes, and female thieves in my eyes. What real wealthy family keeps running to places like that?"
"They hold those so-called elite banquets because they want to fish for girls like you who want to climb the social ladder. You've attended so many high-society banquets—have you ever seen a single girl actually make it?"
"Don't be so naïve!"
Liu Ruyan froze. Lu Fan's words were not particularly profound, but that last sentence struck her awake like a bolt of thunder.
Thinking back on all the banquets she had attended, there had even been times when she had nearly lost her chastity and gone astray. She had seen many girls with the same ambitions as herself, yet she had never heard of or seen a single one who had successfully risen to the top.
"Was I really too naïve?"
Liu Ruyan began to doubt her entire worldview.
Seeing the incoming-call light continuously flashing on Liu Ruyan's phone, Lu Fan reached over, took it, and directly pressed answer. Liu Ruyan was too late to stop him.
"Ruyan, why haven't you been answering? I've been waiting for you for nearly two hours! Young Master Feng specifically asked for you to accompany him tonight."
"If you stand him up today, neither of us will be able to stay in this circle anymore!"
"Young Master Feng got furious just now and insisted that I contact you."
The moment the call connected, Zhu Yiqun's urgent roar came from the other end.
Lu Fan disdainfully picked at his ear and held the phone away from it.
Only after Zhu Yiqun finished speaking did he bring the phone back to his ear.
