Ever since Duan Linbai woke up, he had been foolishly laughing at Xu Jiamu and insisting that she had a crush on him.
Jing Hanchuan coughed twice, wanting to punch him.?How shameless.
Xu Jiamuâs face was red. She was obviously about to go crazy. âDonât spout nonsense. I donât treat you special at all.â
âCome on. Then why did you take the initiative to ask for my phone number and add me on WeChat?â Duan Linbai was foolishly happy. âWhen I couldnât see before, you took special care of me. I know very well what you think of me.â
âI wanted to return your money.â Xu Jiamu took a deep breath.
âI donât lack your money. You just want to woo me, right?â
âDuan Linbai!â Xu Jiamu took a deep breath. âIâm really notâ¦â
âWeâre all adults. Letâs be direct. Why take so many detours? Actually, youâre quite good-looking.â
âNo, Iâ¦â Xu Jiamu was stunned.
âEveryone knows it. Thereâs no need to say it.â
ââ¦â?Arenât you the one pointing it out? Besides, I donât mean that to you at all. You are really shameless. I really want to take a photo of you being drunk and post it online.
I want to let your fangirls see how stupid and brainless you are after drinking too much.
Xu Jiamu suddenly felt that she was a fool. It was ridiculous to argue with a drunkard here. She simply looked out of the window and ignored him.
She was so angry that her breathing was uneven, and her face flushed red.
Duan Linbaiâs eyes were full of smiles, and there was a hint of mischief in them. âI knew you had a crush on me! Look, youâre not even talking anymore. Youâve tacitly agreed, rightâ¦
âI was right. You still hang up on me all the time? Sayâ¦
âAre you trying to attract my attention on purpose?! Let me tell you, youââ
Duan Linbai pointed at her.
Jing Hanchuan crossed his arms and suddenly felt some pity for this medical student. When Duan Linbai was drunk and unreasonable, both he and Fu Chen would have a headache. Being pestered by him would make them depressed to death.
He was fine normally, but how could an alcoholic make sense?
Xu Jiamu turned her head to look at him.
âHaha! Youâve successfully attracted my attention. Are you happy?â A certain someone laughed like a fool.
Xu Jiamu took a deep breath.?This idiot!
Jing Hanchuan laughed out loud.
Xu Jiamu braced herself and explained, âSir, Young Master Duan and I really donât have that kind of relationship. Weâve only met a few times. Heâs drunk and spouting nonsense.
âHeâs really drunk.â
Jing Hanchuan didnât say anything.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of the Medical University.
Xu Jiamu hurriedly got out of the car and thanked Jing Hanchuan. âThank you.â
Jing Hanchuan nodded. âYouâre welcome.â
âHey! Why are you running away?â Jing Hanchuan didnât notice at all that Duan Linbai had actually run out of the car and grabbed Xu Jiamu, who was about to run away.
âYoung Master Duan!â Xu Jiamu was furious. Although there was no one at the school gates, it would be hard to explain if someone saw them.
âWhy are you running? Iâ¦â Duan Linbai couldnât speak clearly and convey what he wanted to say.
Xu Jiamu was really forced into a corner. She directly raised her handâ¦
When Jing Hanchuan got out of the car, Duan Linbai was already lying beside it.?This studentâ¦
How ruthless.
She directly hit him!
But Duan Linbai deserved it. What was he doing to the young lady when he was drunk??But he couldnât send him home like this.
He said that she had a crush on him. If he wanted to flirt with her, he didnât have to do this.
Forcefully flirting was really fatal.
âSixth Master⦠do you want us to chase after her?â The Jing family members pointed at Xu Jiamuâs figure.?Running after beating him up? Sheâs really bold.
âNo need. Carry him into the car and go straight home.â
âOkay.â
Fortunately, he had followed him today. Otherwise, the headlines tomorrow morning would have been [Duan Linbaiâs Corpse on the Streets].
***
The next dayâ¦
When Duan Linbai woke up, he had a terrible headache and felt sore all over.?This is⦠low-key and retro decoration?
Jing Hanchuanâs house?
He had stayed here before, so he was very familiar with the decor and layout of this house.
He was about to turn his head. âOwââ
He reached out his hand to cover his neck. The left side of his neck was slightly sore, and his head hurt terribly. He supported his neck and got up with difficulty. He was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
Last night, when everyone was drinking together, he had only drunk a little more without noticingâ¦
He rubbed his neck slightly.?It really hurts.
He walked to the bathroom and washed up briefly before letting out a breath of turbid air. He reached out his hand and massaged his neck.?This bastard Jing Hanchuan threw me onto the bed just like that?
He made me get a stiff neck.
Covering his neck, he walked downstairs.
âYoung Master Duan, would you like breakfast?â
âNo thanks. Whereâs your Sixth Master?â Duan Linbai grabbed an apple from the coffee table in the living room and walked out.
âAt the ponds in the back.â
âFishing so early in the morning, heâs really free.â Duan Linbai munched on an apple and walked to the back.
From afar, he saw Jing Hanchuan sitting with a fishing pole beside his hand, peeling an orange and eating it.
Behind him was an ancient apricot tree with yellow leaves, He was sitting under the tree. His hair fluttered in the wind, and his clothes were all white, making him look pleasing to the eye.
He was used to being elegant, and he had a quirk. Whenever he ate an orange, he insisted on peeling off the outer layer of the orange cleanly. Everyone said that it was good to eat and that it was fiber, but he refused to listen and even spent so much effort to peel it every time.
âYouâre awake?â Jing Hanchuan raised his eyelids and looked at him.
âYeah.â Duan Linbai sat down beside him. âHow did you take care of me last night? My neck is so stiff. It hurts like hell.â
âStiff neck?â Jing Hanchuan sneered. âYou were beaten up.â
âWhat?â
âYesterdayâ¦â Jing Hanchuan briefly recounted the incident to him. Duan Linbai chewed on the apple expressionlessly. âYou teased her verbally and said that she had a crush on you.
âShe was about to leave, but you refused to let go of her. When she was forced into a corner, she knifed the back of your neck with her hand.â
When Duan Linbai heard the word âknifedâ, the back of his neck felt slightly cold.
âSheâs a medical student, so she knows her limits. If she had used too much force, she might have taken your life.â
Duan Linbai gulped nervously. âWas I really that shameless last night?â
Jing Hanchuan nodded.
âF*ck! Xu Jiamu must think Iâm a pervert.â
Jing Hanchuan chuckled lightly. âShe likely thinks youâre an idiot.â
âDo you want to go to the hospital for a checkup? You hit the ground yesterday and might have hurt your brain.â
âF*ck you. You just stood there and didnât stop me. You just watched me get beaten up?â
âYour shamelessness last night made me want to hit you.â
Duan Linbai suddenly felt that this apple was tasteless.?Even though I spoke a little offensively last night, that woman shouldnât have hit me directly. I was drunk. Itâs not a sin if you donât know.
Only then did he remember that he had arranged to meet Xu Jiamu last night. Drinking alcohol had really caused trouble. He took out his phone and prepared to send Xu Jiamu a message.
Apologize first before asking questions.
He sent an emoji first, but there was a system notification. [You are not friends.]
âF*ck!â?Is this woman in elementary school? Sheâs so childish. She actually blocked me?
Youâre in the f*cking capital. You can run away, but you canât hide. Wonât it be easy for me to catch you?
It wasnât that Xu Jiamu really wanted to block him. But after seeing her roommate last night, her roommate had told her something shocking.
When Xu Jiamu asked for Jing Hanchuanâs license plate number, her roommate had thought that she had really run into a bad guy, so she had asked someone to check the car ownerâs information. The only information that came up was that it belonged to the Chuanbei Jing family.
The Jing family was notorious, and her roommate was terrified witless.
After Xu Jiamu returned, she went to Baidu to check on the Jing family. The first name that popped up was Jing Hanchuan. She remembered that Duan Linbai had called him this name when he was drunk. It matched perfectly.
The information she found listed at the top wasâ¦
[Tragedy created by the Chuanbei Jing familyâ¦]
[Killing people like flies. The Jing family is an existence that makes people shudder at the mention of them.]
[The Warlord Eraâs most famous Jing familyâs rise and fall. Success built on thousands of corpses.]
â¦
Xu Jiamu recalled the people escorting Jing Hanchuan. They were all bodyguards in black. She was so frightened that her body trembled.
I actually knocked Duan Linbai out in front of the Jing family?
He wonât bring his friend to take revenge on me, will he?
Will he just⦠n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Xu Jiamu was nervous and directly blocked Duan Linbai.?What you donât see canât hurt you. If I canât afford to offend him, canât I hide?
This made Duan Linbai furious. The last time he was beaten up, no one had been watching. But this time, he embarrassed himself in front of his good friend. Didnât he still want his face?
Xu Jiamu, good job.. Just you wait.
