Just as Jiang Chen was about to explain, she fiercely said, “Nothing happened just now, and if you dare to talk nonsense about Shu Rui, I…”
She didn’t spell it out but gave Jiang Chen a warning look that told him to read between the lines.
As for such an outcome, Jiang Chen, of course, couldn’t have asked for more, and he quickly nodded earnestly.
“I didn’t see anything.”
“Pervert!”
Zheng Jingjing’s cheeks were slightly red as she involuntarily cursed again.
How did entering his own house make him a pervert?
If this were abroad, let alone just looking a couple of times, even if something was actually done to her, it would still be protected by law.
Alright then.
He admitted it.
He had indeed seen some things he shouldn’t have.
Like the color of the intimate garments that flashed when she hurried upstairs.
With that in mind, he chose not to take issue with her.
“Si Yi, let’s go.”
On the surface, Zheng Jingjing seemed brash and carefree, but actually, she was quite a traditional girl; after such an incident, she felt too embarrassed to stay.
“Let’s wait for Shu Rui to come back.”
Xu Siyi said, “If we leave now, Shu Rui will definitely overthink it.”
She was always the thoughtful one.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Jingjing thought it made sense so she sat down impatiently, staring at Jiang Chen with annoyance.
To a normal person, such a gaze would be unbearable, but Jiang Chen was a different breed indeed, and feeling “guiltless of heart”, he displayed no strangeness whatsoever.
“Where’s Guo Ran?”
He changed the subject.
“She’s gone on a date.”
Jiang Chen was surprised, “She found a boyfriend?”
“They’re not officially dating yet.”
Xu Siyi replied.
“Which college is he from?”
Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
Of the four girls from Li Shuru’s dorm, each had her own style, with Guo Ran being the quietest of them.
Zheng Jingjing was the most forthright.
Li Shuru was the coldest.
And Xu Siyi, whom he had become acquainted with first, was the most delicate.
“He’s not from our university.”
Xu Siyi explained with a smile, “He’s the brother of one of our dance students.”
“Your dance student’s brother?”
Xu Siyi nodded.
“What a twist of fate.”
Jiang Chen sighed with a smile, “What about the two of you?
Still not planning to end your single lives?”
Xu Siyi let out a deep sigh and said with self-pity, “Can merely wishing make any difference?
There has to be someone who fancies us, right?”
Jiang Chen smiled, “Don’t set your sights too high either.”
Xu Siyi looked at him.
“My expectations aren’t high.
If someone could treat me one-third as well as you treat Shu Rui, I’d be content.”
“Si Yi, why are you flattering him?
Not seeing him for days on end, leaving Shu Rui by herself, is that how a boyfriend should act?”
Zheng Jingjing couldn’t help but interject, still as free-spirited and direct as ever, defending her close friend.
Everyone has different views.
In Xu Siyi’s opinion, if someone gave her a luxury house in Spring and Autumn Plaza, yet she had to dwell alone in it, what then?
“You think Jiang Chen is an ordinary student?
He has many important things to take care of…”
“Pfft.”
Zheng Jingjing snorted, looking at Jiang Chen and muttered, “All excuses.
Who knows if he’s not secretly up to no good.”
The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart.
Jiang Chen stayed silent, having just lost an entire night’s memory due to being drugged.
However, with Xu Siyi breaking the ice, the atmosphere was somewhat harmonious.
“Shu Rui, we’re heading off.”
As soon as Li Shuru returned, Zheng Jingjing immediately suggested they leave.
“What’s the rush?
Stay for dinner.”
“We won’t eat.”
“Shu Rui, we’ll leave now.”
Xu Siyi had no choice but to leave with her.
Li Shuru saw the two girls out, and after they left, she turned back.
“How did you upset her again?”
Sometimes it’s necessary to conceal the truth for the sake of kindness, and Jiang Chen said, “She gave me a fierce scolding just before you arrived.”
“Why?”
Li Shuru was curious.
“It’s because I haven’t been accompanying you properly.”
Jiang Chen asked, “Did you give them the keys?”
“Mhm, I’m alone at home.
Having them stay makes it more lively.
I didn’t tell you; you don’t mind, do you?”
“Of course not.”
Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile, “After all, you’re the owner.
It’s your right to decide who stays.”
Li Shuru fell silent, then closed the door.
“I’m going to cook.”
Maybe the boys from East University could never have imagined that a girl like Li Shuru, who should be cherished like a treasure, would actually cook for a man.
And her cooking skills had improved a lot; at the very least, she could now cook without a recipe.
Jiang Chen wasn’t idle either, helping her out.
“They said someone is pursuing Guo Ran?”
“Yeah.”
“Have you met him?”
“No.”
Li Shuru stir-fried as she said, “I rarely go to the dance studio area, I’ve only seen a photo.”
He had to admit.
Watching such a girl clad in an apron tending the stove, that feeling was ineffable.
“Is he handsome?”
“Fairly so.”
Jiang Chen aimlessly chatted, pulling at strings of conversation, and while Li Shuru answered whenever asked, he couldn’t shake the feeling that her attitude was off, as if she was merely responding to placate him.
Could it be as Zheng Jingjing said, that she was actually upset because he was often away?
Although Li Shuru wasn’t like the average girl, that didn’t mean she was without temper.
At that moment, Jiang Chen realized his misstep.
Had he known, he would have bought a gift in Hancheng to resolve this issue.
Soon, he thought of the bracelet, but in the end, he decided not to bring it out.
