Chapter 619 - Hold Her Hand

“But... But if we make a statement right now... We will be criticized by the Internet...”

The university leaders did not know what to do. They knew that this was Zhai Yunsheng. They also knew that Zhai Yunsheng’s words had weight to them.

“Well, if you’re doing the right thing, why should you be afraid of being criticized?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. He paused for a moment before he said: “Or did you do something wrong in other areas? Do you have something to tell me?”

“No, no. Definitely not,” the university leader replied hastily.

He just didn’t want to get involved in such a matter. Things could easily become troublesome.

If the university made a public statement, they would have to endure further criticism.

“If you didn’t do anything bad, then you should go make a statement. Lu Yuan was originally one of your students. And thus, you should be responsible for this matter. Don’t just plan to brush things off.”

Although Lu Yuan’s matter was related to Jian Yiling, the problem started with Lu Yuan. And thus, it was unreasonable for the university to ask Jian Yiling to handle the entire matter.

Even if Jian Yiling was the fuse that triggered this series of events, Lu Yuan was still an ex-student of Beijing University.

Therefore, Beijing University could not push all of the blame onto Jian Yiling.

The university leader’s expression was torn.

After thinking for a long time, he reluctantly agreed to Zhai Yunsheng’s request.

“Okay, the university will clarify the situation. We will make a statement and ask our legal department to deal with the slander on the Internet. However, at the same time, Jian Yiling must find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible.”

The university leader decided to compromise.

“Don’t worry about it. We will deal with it immediately. We won’t let you take the blame,” Zhai Yunsheng said. These words made the university leader feel at ease.

Then, he turned around and said to Jian Yiling: “Let’s go home.”

Then, he turned around to grab Jian Yiling’s small hand. He held her hand as they left the office.

Jian Yiling’s hand was very small and soft. His hand could wrap her entire fist. It was as though he was molding dough.

As Jian Yiling’s hand was held by Zhai Yunsheng, she felt that his palm was very hot...

Jian Yiling kept up with Zhai Yunsheng’s pace as they walked out.

However, after walking for a while, she said: “Wait... Wait a minute...”

“What’s wrong?” Zhai Yunsheng asked as he turned around to look at Jian Yiling. His tone was filled with concern.

“Hand.”

Jian Yiling’s eyes fell on top of her hand that was held by Zhai Yunsheng.

She could not pull her hand away.

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng let go of his hand: “Did I hurt you?”

Jian Yiling shook her head. He didn’t hurt her.

However... His palm was incredibly warm...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It felt... Strange...

“Do you not like me holding your hand?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.

Jian Yiling shook her head: “It’s warm.”

Zhai Yunsheng laughed before he said: “Let’s go. I’ll deal with the matter.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling shook her head again: “No need.”

“Why not?”

“I owe you too much already.”

“You don’t owe me. I just want too many things from you. That’s why I’m doing a lot for you. You can interpret it as I’m doing things with a purpose. And thus, you can assume that I’m a despicable person. Actions of despicable people have little value.”

“But you don’t.”

“I do,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. His tone was certain and self-deprecating. “I like you and I want you. That’s why I’m doing this. I’m a despicable and horrible person. I’m not someone who would help anyone.”

Jian Yiling stared at Zhai Yunsheng with a stunned expression.

Zhai Yunsheng looked at her before he smiled: “You don’t need to avoid me. You don’t need to reply to my confession either. However, promise me that you won’t like anyone else for a short period of time. Furthermore, please stay with me as my doctor for a while. Is that okay?”

Zhai Yunsheng thought about this for the past two days.

If she was avoiding him, it was not necessarily a bad thing.

However, he wanted to keep her company. At least for a little longer.

It was likely that he had only a few more years to live.
