109 A Bet
The Mid-Autumn Festival Gala arrived in the blink of an eye. The stage on the sports field had been built in advance, and all the students in the university had to sit on the grass of the sports field in groups of classes to watch the gala.
Mu Xiao was chewing gum in boredom. He frowned and asked, “Brother Yan, can’t we go out and play? Did you have to come to such a boring event?”
Jing Yan pursed his lips and did not say anything. Recently, He Miao came home later and later, and every time, she would be so tired that she would lie on the bed and not want to move.
He had already found it strange until he went to her class yesterday to find out that she had signed up for the school’s Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and was even going to dance on stage!
Jing Yan could not take it lying down when he thought about how He Miao was about to show off her perfect figure in front of the whole school. What made him even more depressed was that he was in no position to stop He Miao from going.
It was half-past six in the evening, so he could only stay here for an hour. He looked at Mu Xiao, who was following him and complaining, and frowned slightly. “Go and get me a list of the event’s programs.”
“Where are you going, Brother Yan?” Mu Xiao looked at his back in surprise as he walked further and further away. He resigned himself to his fate and went to work for him.
Jing Yan weaved through the crowd, his eyes carefully searching for that familiar figure. Then, Jing Yan’s heart sank, and he looked down to see He Miao sitting on the ground.
He walked over and grabbed He Miao’s arm. His eyes were so cold that ice could be seen. Come with me.
“Where are we going? Brother.” He Miao’s wrist ached a little as Jing Yan grabbed her. She struggled uncomfortably, but Jing Yan turned around and glared at her.
He pulled her to a corner of the field and asked in a low voice, “What are your class’s plans after the party?”
“I’m going to an all-night party.” He Miao answered honestly, thinking that Jing Yan was just worried about her safety. After all, this man had done so many things to protect her, so she had no need to hide things from him.
Jing Yan frowned, and his eyes gradually turned deep. “Send me the location of the gathering.”
“You’re coming?” He Miao looked at him in surprise. “This is our class’s private gathering.”
“I’m your brother. I’m worried about my sister spending the night with so many people.” Seeing He Miao’s obviously unwilling expression, Jing Yan gritted his teeth and added, “Grandpa won’t be at ease either.”
“Alright, then.” As expected, He Miao did not want Grandpa Jing to worry. She sighed and sent him the address.
Satisfied, Jing Yan put away his phone and carefully examined He Miao’s outfit today. Under the milky-white trench coat, her slender legs were exposed, and the belt was wrapped tightly around her slender waist. Looking up, he could see He Miao’s specially made-up face, which added a lot of charm to her pure little face.
Jing Yan’s black eyes turned gloomier. “What are you wearing inside?”
The coat was so big, so he could not see what she was wearing inside, but the whole school could see it later.
He Miao had no intention of taking off her trench coat here.
Xu Meng’s costume was too revealing. Otherwise, she would not have put on a coat shamefully.
She blinked her eyes and smiled. “It’s just a normal piece of clothing. I’ll go back first.”
Jing Yan unhappily watched her run away, then turned around and walked back to his class.
The event officially began. Jing Yan stared at the program list in his hand. When he saw that He Miao was the finale, he was in a bad mood. He threw the list to Mu Xiao, stood up, and left in frustration.
“Where are you going? Aren’t you going to watch?” Mu Xiao hurriedly chased after him.
Jing Yan stopped in his tracks. “I still have something to do,” he said slowly. “Help me record a video of He Miao’s performance. Grandpa wants to see it.”
“Alright,” he said. Mu Xiao sat back in his seat without complaint and fiddled with his phone in boredom, sending messages in the group chat that he often drank with.
When the man with the online username ‘Young Master Mo’ saw Mu Xiao’s complaint, he could not help but laugh. [Cousin, you also have times when you are enslaved. I really couldn’t tell.]
[You’re asking for a beating.] Mu Xiao retorted in irritation. After thinking about it, he started to have ideas about his cousin. [Xiao Ling, aren’t you bored at home? Come over and help your cousin do some work.]
[What are you doing?] Young Master Mo asked warily.
Mu Xiao smirked as he typed, [Good news! I’m here to invite you to see a beauty!]
Young Master Mo sneered. [You can’t tempt me. I already have a goddess.]
[She’s really beautiful. I bet you’ll definitely like her.] Mu Xiao continued to tempt him.
