She never would’ve expected it, and was unwilling to admit it.
Moreover, this was Xu Niannian, who constantly claimed he couldn’t stay put but repeatedly had special reactions to her.
"Jin Yu, can you stop looking at me with that lecherous gaze?"
He didn’t speak for a long time, his gaze fixated on her chest. Xu Niannian, annoyed, covered her chest, "Birds of a feather."
Her voice, soft yet filled with anger, pricked Jin Yu’s eardrums, and it was only then he realized where he was looking. His handsome face suddenly turned red.
"Sorry?" Xu Niannian, surprised, looked at Jin Yu with a face that seemed to have seen a ghost, "You can actually say sorry?"
If this had been a normal situation, Jin Yu would definitely have put on a black face, but now he was facing a girl he had bullied before.
Elder Jin’s face embarrassingly turned red, though thankfully it wasn’t obvious, or else Xu Niannian might die of laughter.
Jin Yu didn’t speak, and Xu Niannian didn’t continue the conversation either, making the atmosphere awkward for a while.
Xu Niannian remembered his previous probe and couldn’t help but suspect he had figured it out. Her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, pounding away inside her.
"Hey, Jin Yu, are you possessed or something?" Forgetting about the sprain, Xu Niannian took a step towards him.
"Ah." A sharp pain made her cry out, and her body swayed forwards.
A pair of large hands promptly caught her arm, and once again, Xu Niannian found herself picked up by Jin Yu.
With an expressionless face, he set her back on the hospital bed, finally managing to say, "Can’t you just behave?"
The previously abnormal Jin Yu had made Xu Niannian anxious, but now, seeing him with a stern face scolding her, she somehow felt reassured. Original content can be found at novel⟡fire.net
After staying in the hospital room for a while, Xu Niannian suddenly remembered something very important.
Damn, Duoyu and Zhiqiang were supposed to go and register. And after being away from home for so long, her parents were definitely going to worry.
But now that Zhiqiang was injured and hospitalized, if Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei learned that she had nearly been harassed today, they’d be worried sick.
After thinking it over, she definitely couldn’t let them find out about this.
But then... wouldn’t they worry if she didn’t go home?
This really stumped Xu Niannian.
Jin Yu, sitting in the chair, was directly in front of Xu Niannian. Watching her alternate between frowning and biting her finger, he couldn’t help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
His deep voice instantly made Xu Niannian’s eyes light up. Right, she could ask him for help.
After all, in Yang Cuihua’s eyes, she and Jin Yu were an engaged couple. If she said that she and her brother were staying at his place for a few days, Yang Cuihua probably wouldn’t worry.
Xu Niannian was quite impressed with herself for coming up with this idea.
Before she could get too happy, Xu Niannian’s spirits dropped. Would he help?
With Jin Yu’s temper, he wouldn’t bother with her. It was already a concession to his conscience that he had saved her.
Ever since Jin Yu figured out that Xu Niannian was the girl he was searching for, his gaze hadn’t left her.
One moment she was frowning, the next her eyes were lighting up looking at him, and then she’d slump and lower her head, her eyelids drooping, her expressions vivid and interesting.
Jin Yu couldn’t resist asking, "Do you have any trouble that you need help with?"
The sudden query interrupted Xu Niannian’s thoughts. She jerked her head up, incredulously pointing to her own nose, "Are you asking me?"
Jin Yu: "...Is there a third person here?"
Xu Niannian shook her head, "No." Her tone turned cheery, her beautiful almond eyes wide open looking at him, shining brightly, "Can you help me?"
Being stared at with her seductive big eyes, Jin Yu awkwardly looked away.
Damn it, his heartbeat was accelerating...
His heart was pounding non-stop, as if a mad dog was running wild inside.
Xu Niannian, pleased, didn’t notice his unusual behavior and blurted out her thoughts.
