âJian, accompany me to the restroom!â Before Jian Dan could respond, Xiaoting had already pulled her away from their seats.
âXiaoting, you havenât said what youâll eat yet!â Ouyang Jing called out loudly.
âThe same as Jian Yi!â Xiaoting didnât even turn her head as she threw out that response.
Once the two entered the restroom, Xiaoting stared straight at Jian Dan⦠âXiaoting, why are you looking at me like that? Didnât you have to use the restroom?â Although Jian Dan knew Xiaoting hadnât brought her out just for that, she still deliberately played dumb.
âWhat do you think?â Xiaoting crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Jian Dan with annoyance.
âI think youâve spent so much time with me youâve been assimilated and need to clear out before eating!â Jian Dan said with a smile.
But Xiaoting couldnât muster a smile at all. âJian~â Xiaotingâs voice rose an entire octave.
âAlright, alright! No more joking.
Besides, what did I even do just now? I just helped Teacher Zhu order a meal, heâs new here today and surely doesnât know whatâs good. I donât see a problem with that, I think youâre overthinking it!â
âButâ¦â
âNo buts. If it were a female teacher today, you wouldnât see a problem, would you?â
âYou seem to have a point!â
âItâs not just a point, it makes perfect sense, so stop overthinking!
Are you going to use the restroom or not? If not, Iâm going back to eat noodle soup, Iâm starving.â Jian Dan patted her belly.
âLetâs go back then!â
When they returned, they found that the noodle soup had already been served, but no one had started eating.
âWhy arenât you all eating? You didnât need to wait for us!â Jian Dan said, sitting down on her stool.
âEating? Itâs more lively with everyone together!â Zhang Yang spoke up first.
âOh! Well, weâre back now, letâs get started!â
Chu Liyuan took a bite of the noodles, âMmm, they really do taste good. Itâs a different feeling eating with someone important to you!â
The moment Uncleâs words filled the air, the bite of noodles Jian Dan had almost spat out completely.
Uncle, I just calmed Xiaoting down, and now youâre starting a fire all over again.
Chu Liyuanâs words made three out of the five people at the table turn paleâ¦
Jian Dan could only pretend nothing was amiss and continued eating her noodles, not daring to lift her head.
Meal times usually felt like they flew by, but today it seemed exceptionally long.
After dinner, Jian Dan went straight back to her dorm without any delay.
She didnât want to listen to Xiaotingâs ramblings any longer.
After coming out from washing up, and lying on the bed ready to sleep, she suddenly heard noise coming from the roomâs balcony.
Jian Danâs nerves instantly tensed upâ¦
Could there really be a thief in the school?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jian Dan got up and tiptoed towards the balconyâ¦
If itâs a thief, then heâs picked the wrong target.
A shadow flashed by, and Jian Dan lashed out with a kick, but it was caught steadily by the other person.
âJian Jian, are you trying to murder your own husband?â Under the moonlight, that exceedingly beautiful face appeared even more enchanting and bewitching.
âUncle, how come youâ¦â
âDidnât expect that returning to my own room would be such an ordeal!â
After letting go of Jian Danâs hand, he walked straight into her room.
âUncle, didnât the school provide you with a room?â
âThey did!â
âThen why are you here in my room?â
âBecause this is my room too!â Chu Liyuan said with a devilish smile looking at Jian Dan.
âBut this is the girlsâ dormitory!
And itâs the fourth floor, how did you get up here, Uncle?â Jian Dan looked down from the balcony and then stepped inside as well.
âCould a height like this really stop me?â
âIt seems not!â Who is Uncle, after all.
Chu Liyuan sat on Jian Danâs bed and looked up at her.
âBut this is the girlsâ dormitory, what if someone discovers you?â
âSo what if they do?â They were a legally married couple, after all.
âButâ¦â Jian Dan hadnât finished speaking when Chu Liyuan pulled her onto the bed, wrapping his arms around her from behind.
Feeling the warmth from Uncle, Jian Danâs cheeks flushed red. âFine then, only for today!â
âI disagree!
Itâs not up for discussion!â Chu Liyuan cut Jian Dan off before she could speak again..
