The appearance of Yang Ming gave her a glimmer of hope and made her cherish this friendship even more.

"That dean of studies is really too much!" Yang Ming suddenly said indignantly, "How could he treat you like this? I have decided to teach him a lesson!"

Ran Qiuye was shocked when she heard this, and quickly advised: "Yang Ming, don't be impulsive! Doing so will only make things worse."

Yang Ming was unmoved. He already had a plan: "Don't worry, I won't go to him directly. I will ask Liu Guangtian and others to do something to teach him a lesson."

Ran Qiuye sighed helplessly. She knew Yang Ming's temper. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. She just hoped that this matter could be resolved smoothly and not cause trouble for Yang Ming.

After the two walked for a while, Ran Qiuye pointed to a house in front and said, "My house is just ahead."

Yang Ming looked up and saw a courtyard house with a single door and a single household. The gatehouse of the courtyard was tall and simple, showing the owner's extraordinary taste. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Teacher Ran, your house is really magnificent!"

Ran Qiuye smiled and explained, "This is the house left by my grandfather. He used to be a scholar, and his family had some savings, so he bought this yard. Later, the family fell into poverty, but this yard has been preserved."

Yang Ming listened to Ran Qiuye's words, and he couldn't help but have more respect for this gentle woman. He imagined the scene of Ran Qiuye playing in this yard when she was a child, and an inexplicable warmth surged in his heart.

Arriving at the door of Ran Qiuye's house, Yang Ming suddenly joked: "Teacher Ran, your family is not only a scholarly family, but also a wealthy one! Why don't I just become your son-in-law!"

Ran Qiuye's face flushed immediately after hearing this. She glanced at Yang Ming in a reproachful manner and said softly, "What nonsense are you talking about! Go back now!"

Yang Ming looked at Ran Qiuye's blushing cheeks and his heart was beating fast.

He knew that he had developed deep feelings for this gentle woman, but he also knew that now was not the time to confess his feelings.

He stood silently at the door, watching Ran Qiuye walk into the yard until her figure disappeared into the darkness. One day, the autumn breeze was refreshing, and Ran Qiuye was reading ancient books alone in the study.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. She looked up and saw a young man named Yang Ming walking in.

The two have known each other for a long time, but Ran Qiuye never thought that this gentle young man would have any special feelings for her.

"Qiuye, your writing is always so moving." Yang Ming said with a smile, his eyes flashing with admiration. Ran Qiuye smiled slightly and shook his head modestly: "No, it's just some clumsy works."

However, Yang Ming shook his head seriously: "No, your words have a unique charm that makes people intoxicated."

At this moment, Ran Qiuye suddenly felt her heartbeat quicken. She didn't know why she had such a reaction. She raised her head and met Yang Ming's affectionate gaze, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

"Yang Ming, I..." Ran Qiuye's voice trembled a little, she didn't know how to express her feelings.

Yang Ming looked at her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by tenderness: "Qiu Ye, what do you want to say?"

Ran Qiuye took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said: "I...I like you."

As soon as she said this, she felt her face burning, as if it was on fire. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Yang Ming's reaction.

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked to her side and gently held her hand: "Qiu Ye, I like you too."

Hearing these words, a warm current surged in Ran Qiuye's heart. She raised her head and looked at Yang Ming's gentle eyes, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

At this moment, Yang Ming suddenly stepped forward, hugged her waist, and whispered in her ear: "Qiu Ye, where is your room?"

Ran Qiuye's cheeks turned even redder. She nodded shyly and said softly, "It's upstairs."

The two walked up the stairs hand in hand and came to Ran Qiuye's room. The room was warm and elegant, full of the fragrance of books. Yang Ming looked around and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Qiuye, your room is so beautiful."

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

For more than an hour, the two talked intimately, sharing each other's thoughts and dreams. Ran Qiuye felt as if she had undergone a transformation, growing from a young girl to a mature woman. She felt that she had become more confident and stronger.

It was getting late, so Yang Ming stood up and prepared to leave. He looked back at Ran Qiuye and said affectionately, "Qiu

Ye, I will cherish our relationship."

"Qiu Ye, we... our relationship, do you regret it?" Yang Ming broke the silence, his voice low and gentle.

Ran Qiuye was slightly startled, then gently shook her head, "Yang Ming, I don't regret it. Although this is a rebellious behavior in the education I received, but...but I am willing." Her voice was full of determination.

Yang Ming looked at her with pity in his eyes. He knew that Ran Qiuye was not the kind of fickle woman. Her heart was full of desire and persistence for love. He reached out and gently held her hand. "I, '037', know that Qiuye is a special woman. I respect your choice."

The atmosphere between the two became warm and sweet. Yang Ming suddenly remembered something and asked, "Qiu Ye, can you tell me about your family situation?"

Ran Qiuye's expression instantly became complicated. She hesitated for a moment and finally nodded, "Yang Ming, I...my parents are not in good condition now." There was a hint of sob in her voice.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Yang Ming asked nervously.

Ran Qiuye took a deep breath and slowly told her parents about their predicament. It turned out that her parents had a huge debt due to an accident and now they were living under the threat and intimidation of their creditors every day.

After listening to Ran Qiuye's words, Yang Ming frowned, "Qiuye, why didn't you tell me earlier? I can help you with these things."

Ran Qiuye shook her head and said, "Yang Ming, I don't want you to be implicated because of me. You are in a high position, and if people knew about our relationship, it would have a huge impact on you."

Yang Ming looked at her, with a firm look in his eyes, "Qiu Ye, you are wrong. We are one, your business is my business. I will not let you face these difficulties alone."

Ran Qiuye looked at him, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, "Yang Ming, are you...are you really willing to help me?"
