Jiang Yuekai, unafraid of death, continued, "I know what he means. I'm an adult. Isn't it normal for adults to have something going on? Jing Chu ge, don't you think you're controlling me too much?"
"Do your parents know?" Lin Jingchu asked.
Actually, Lin Jingchu didn't need Jiang Yuekai's answer. He already knew. Liang Yufeng definitely didn't know, or he would have already come charging over, not allowing her to do this.
As expected, in the next moment, Jiang Yuekai said, "Don't tell my parents!"
"Fine, but you can't do this anymore," Lin Jingchu's anger subsided slightly. "One must guard against others. From now on, when you go out with your friends, I'll accompany you."
Jiang Yuekai was annoyed. "Are you threatening me?"
Lin Jingchu said, "I'm doing this for your own good."
"What for my own good? I'm an adult, why are you controlling me so much?" Jiang Yuekai, angered, shook off his hand. "I'll do whatever I want, you stay out of it."
Jiang Yuekai had never been a particularly "obedient" person, but she had always been clear-headed. Even when she was dating Gu Jiang, she hadn't been "head over heels." But her current demeanor made Lin Jingchu see signs of infatuation. He couldn't help but clench his fist. This time, what kind of man had caught her eye to make her do something so foolish!
"Jiang Yuekai." Lin Jingchu called her full name for the first time, his tone so firm it was unyielding. "I'm not discussing this with you. Starting tomorrow, I'll pick you up and drop you off from school. You'll come home after class. If you have other appointments, I'll go with you."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Jingchu saw Jiang Yuekai's angry and repulsed expression. Without thinking, he knew she was unwilling. Therefore, he added, "If you don't want me to follow, that's fine too. I'll notify your parents and have them accompany you personally."
"Lin Jingchu, what are you doing?" Jiang Yuekai argued with him. "What are you to me that you're controlling me so much? Aren't you annoying?"
Lin Jingchu ignored her anger. He picked up the blanket on the sofa, walked over to her, and wrapped it around her, covering her suggestive body.
His fingers paused at her shoulder. "Remember what I said. I'll come for you tomorrow morning."
Without giving her a chance to refuse, he turned and left.
Perhaps because he was truly angered, Lin Jingchu slammed the door, but Jiang Yuekai wasn't angry. In fact, she even smiled as she watched his retreating back. She hadn't seen him so angry before; it was quite novel.
Jiang Yuekai looked down at her attire. A large expanse of skin was exposed on her chest, her excellent figure on full display. If she had heard correctly, Lin Jingchu's voice had been a bit hoarse just now, likely because of her figure... right?
Thinking this, Jiang Yuekai smiled smugly, but her cheeks still burned. She had "studied" a lot of "papers" and "educational films" these past few days, but she lacked practical experience, and her thick skin needed some polishing.
Having seen Lin Jingchu's good-natured demeanor for so long, she suddenly found him quite handsome when he was angry, the kind of handsome that exuded hormones.
As Jiang Yuekai was removing her makeup, Zhou Nian's WeChat message arrived, asking about the situation. Jiang Yuekai told Zhou Nian about what had just happened.
Zhou Nian replied, "What did I tell you? A repressed man is even more terrifying when he explodes. Were you scared?"
Jiang Yuekai honestly replied, "Actually, no. I even found him a bit handsome."
Zhou Nian: "He's definitely thinking, 'If I had known you liked this, I wouldn't have pretended.'"
Jiang Yuekai pouted. It wasn't that she liked this. If a man was just overbearing and unreasonable, she definitely wouldn't like him, but Lin Jingchu wasn't like that.
Perhaps what she liked was this contrast. A man's possessiveness wasn't inherently attractive. It was Lin Jingchu's possessiveness, bursting out after reaching his limit, that was most captivating.
Moreover, Lin Jingchu was different from others. Even when he was angry, he didn't do anything to hurt her. He was just a bit unreasonable in his words, and his threat was merely to report her to her parents.
Pfft, Jiang Yuekai couldn't help but laugh again.
While Jiang Yuekai was laughing on her side, Lin Jingchu on his side was extremely agitated. He returned home feeling hot all over and went straight to the bathroom to shower. The water, similar to his body temperature, still couldn't extinguish the desire gathering in his lower abdomen. Her seductive figure filled his mind.
He had known for a long time that her figure was as excellent as her face. It was just that he had been restraining himself, not paying attention to that aspect. She was still young, turning only twenty after this Chinese New Year...
He had enough patience to wait for her, but that didn't mean he could accept her dressing like this for another man.
What was that man's intention in asking her to dress like this to accompany him for drinks?
She was so smart, she must have guessed it, but even so, she still went. How much did she like that man?
The flame of jealousy burned his rationality. His blood vessels throbbed with impulse. His eyes were redder than before the shower, and his body felt so full it was about to explode.
Lin Jingchu turned the water temperature to the lowest setting, closed his eyes, and let the showerhead drench his head.
Lin Jingchu did not sleep well that night. By 4:30 AM, he was completely unable to sleep.
Remembering that Jiang Yuekai had left early that morning, Lin Jingchu went out for a ten-kilometer run, then took a shower, prepared breakfast, and went to knock on her door.
At this hour, it was just past six o'clock. By Jiang Yuekai's habits, she should not have woken up yet.
Jiang Yuekai had indeed not woken up. She had slept soundly last night in a good mood. Lin Jingchu's knock on the door interrupted her pleasant dream.
Jiang Yuekai had a bit of morning grumpiness. Wearing her pajamas and barefoot, she went to the living room and asked irritably, "Who is it?"
Hearing her voice, Lin Jingchu knew she wasn't awake. "It's me. Open the door."
Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Yuekai yawned and then opened the door for Lin Jingchu.
The moment the door opened, Lin Jingchu saw Jiang Yuekai in a white silk pajama set.
The pajamas were loose, but he immediately noticed that she wasn't wearing a bra. Two buttons were undone, faintly revealing a patch of skin on her chest. She yawned, fiddling with her hair, unconsciously sexy.
"Breakfast," Lin Jingchu bypassed her, forcing himself to shift his gaze away from her. "Wash up, change your clothes, and eat while it's hot."
If she didn't change soon, he might lose control.
Jiang Yuekai watched Lin Jingchu go to the dining room, yawned, brushed her teeth, and then went to find him.
Seeing her return in her pajamas, Lin Jingchu's throat tightened again. He frowned involuntarily and sternly questioned her, "Why haven't you changed?"
"Why did you come so early?" Jiang Yuekai asked, deflecting the question, her tone laced with displeasure. "You disturbed my sleep."
"If I hadn't come, are you sure you wouldn't have run off?"
Lin Jingchu knew her too well. Without last night's incident, she was already avoiding him. After yesterday's commotion, Jiang Yuekai would definitely try even harder to avoid him.
