Jiang Yuekai laughed after hearing his words, "You know I'll run, yet you still come looking for me. When did you become so annoying?"
Lin Jingchu replied, "I promised your parents I'd take good care of you and not let you be misled. Your friend has ill intentions. I don't believe you can't see it."
After a night passed, he was much calmer than yesterday, returning to his usual demeanor.
Jiang Yuekai ate her sandwich, finding his current state rather dull. She decided to provoke him, "So what if I see it? Even if he has ill intentions, I'm willing."
Lin Jingchu stated, "You'll be at a disadvantage."
Jiang Yuekai was unfazed, "What disadvantage? We're all modern people now. Brother Jingchu, your thinking is too old-fashioned. Even if something were to happen between him and me, I wouldn't be at a disadvantage. He's very handsome."
As she finished speaking, she indeed saw a hint of gloom appear on Lin Jingchu's face. Jiang Yuekai pretended not to notice, "As long as I like it, why do you care so much? You're not my brother."
"Jiang Yuekai, try him if you dare to have anything happen with him!" Lin Jingchu couldn't control his anger just thinking about the scene. "How old are you!"
He's angry again.
Jiang Yuekai savored his anger and remained silent for a long time.
Her silence, however, brought Lin Jingchu to a clearer mind. "I'm sorry, I lost control and scared you."
"You eat first, I'll wait for you outside." To prevent himself from losing control and taking his temper out on her, Lin Jingchu left the kitchen first.
Jiang Yuekai ate her breakfast with a carefree smile, then went to wash up and change.
Lin Jingchu sat in the living room for over half an hour, finally calming down. By then, Jiang Yuekai had also changed and come out.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lin Jingchu instinctively looked over, and then his gaze was fixed there, unable to move.
Jiang Yuekai was wearing an extremely form-fitting knit sweater today, with a high neck that hugged her body. Although it didn't reveal much, her curves were still captivating. Below, she wore tight pants that accentuated the lines of her hips and legs.
Jiang Yuekai wasn't skinny; her thighs had a pleasing fullness, her hips were perky, yet her waist was slender. Dressed like this, the visual impact was striking.
While she possessed a proud figure, she rarely dressed like this, which is why Lin Jingchu was stunned.
After regaining his composure, his expression turned serious again.
Jiang Yuekai, of course, noticed Lin Jingchu's gaze. She asked knowingly, "What's wrong? Doesn't it look good? My friend said I look particularly good in tight clothes."
The moment Jiang Yuekai mentioned "my friend," Lin Jingchu's face darkened even further, exuding a chill. "Go change into something else."
"I won't change," Jiang Yuekai retorted, annoyed. "Why do you care so much about me?"
"Are you going to change or not?" Lin Jingchu picked up his phone, resorting to the method he disliked the most. "If you don't change, I'll call your father right now."
Jiang Yuekai defiantly said, "Go ahead and call. I won't change."
"Don't you have anything better to do? Why are you always around me?" Jiang Yuekai provoked him again.
Why was he always around her? Hearing the question, Lin Jingchu chuckled self-mockingly. If she had just thought a little deeper, she would know why. It was simply because she had never considered placing him in that role.
Repeatedly provoked by Jiang Yuekai like this, even someone as self-controlled as Lin Jingchu couldn't remain calm. He stood up, grabbed Jiang Yuekai's arm, and forcefully pulled her towards the bedroom. "Go change."
"I won't change! Let go of me, Lin Jingchu, you're so annoying!" Jiang Yuekai was genuinely struggling, not just playing coy. But Lin Jingchu was truly angry this time, his strength unprecedented. Jiang Yuekai couldn't break free and was dragged into the bedroom.
As they struggled, Lin Jingchu, in a fit of anger, pushed her against the wardrobe door. Just like last night, her body was enveloped by him again. They were so close that they could hear each other's heartbeats and his heavy breathing.
His arms braced on either side of her, he leaned down to look at her, his eyes filled with a stern light. "Go change into some sportswear."
"I won't change," Jiang Yuekai declared defiantly. "If you have the guts, change it for me. Don't threaten me with this, I'm not afraid."
Lin Jingchu: "..." She had stolen his line, and he didn't know what to say.
He truly only had this threat to use against her, and she wasn't afraid at all, as if she was certain he wouldn't dare to do it.
As they struggled, Jiang Yuekai's phone rang. Hearing the sound, Lin Jingchu instinctively glanced at the nightstand. Jiang Yuekai seized the opportunity to push him away, grabbed her phone, and walked out.
The clothes were ultimately not changed. Jiang Yuekai had a class in the morning, and Lin Jingchu personally drove her to school. She had put on a long woolen trench coat over the knit sweater, which somewhat concealed her.
Because of the unpleasantness, Jiang Yuekai didn't speak to Lin Jingchu the entire way. Lin Jingchu glanced at her and saw her chatting on WeChat. She seemed very afraid of being seen, as she immediately flipped her phone screen over after finishing her conversation.
Lin Jingchu unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel, the veins in his forearm bulging. He had already guessed that Jiang Yuekai was likely chatting with that "friend."
Before long, the car stopped in front of the teaching building. As Jiang Yuekai unbuckled her seatbelt and got out, she heard Lin Jingchu's voice, "I'll pick you up after class."
"I'm meeting a friend this afternoon, don't come," Jiang Yuekai refused him.
Lin Jingchu replied, "I'll be there half an hour before your class ends."
He spoke with an unyielding tone, as if he hadn't heard her refusal.
Jiang Yuekai ignored him, got out of the car, and slammed the door shut. Her impatience was evident in her actions. Lin Jingchu watched Jiang Yuekai enter the teaching building, then raised his hand to rub his temples. He hadn't slept well last night, and after arguing with her again, he felt exhausted.
He truly couldn't understand how Jiang Yuekai had met this so-called friend, or how they had charmed her into becoming like this, turning such a clear-headed person into this state.
Even when she was dating Gu Jiang, she had never been this infatuated. To go this far with him for another man...
Lin Jingchu was in a bad mood and invited Chen Ao out. He was a man of few words, and after sitting down, he just drank his coffee, remaining silent. Chen Ao was almost suffocated by his silence.
Finally, Chen Ao couldn't stand it anymore. "Brother, what's wrong? Say something."
Lin Jingchu still didn't speak, so Chen Ao boldly indulged his imagination. "Did Yuekai do something to you again?"
"Where did she meet this person?" Lin Jingchu's voice was low, as if he were talking to himself. "She was never like this before."
There it was, it was indeed because of Jiang Yuekai.
Lin Jingchu was usually indifferent and calm, but only when it came to Jiang Yuekai would he lose his composure.
"If you're so curious, why don't you just follow her?" Chen Ao thought this matter was easily solvable.
