Chapter 156: Chapter 156

“Hello, beautiful. I want to ask if I can add you on WeChat?” On the bench, Song Jiaren was sitting there waiting for Jiang Ye. Suddenly, a boy in a white T-shirt walked over. He was probably in his late teens or early twenties. He approached Song Jiaren and asked for her WeChat.

“Huh?” Song Jiaren frowned slightly. She didn’t put on any makeup today. Indeed, losing weight was comparable to plastic surgery.

“Can I?” Seeing that Song Jiaren didn’t reply, the boy asked again.

“I’m sorry, but I already have someone I like.” Song Jiaren waved her hand and politely rejected the boy’s advances.

Although he refused to give up, the boy still left in the end. As he walked, he looked back at Song Jiaren every three steps, making her very uncomfortable.

Ten minutes later

“Alright, I’ve already apologized to you. Stop mumbling.” Then, Jiang Ye stood up from the stool and put his hands in his pockets as if he was searching for something.

“What are you doing?” Song Jiaren placed the ice bag he had handed her on her forehead and looked at Jiang Ye in confusion.

Finally, after much effort, Jiang Ye took out a strawberry-flavored lollipop from his pocket.

“Here, I know you like it. I bought it when I bought the ice pack just now.”

Jiang Ye was still the same. Although they hadn’t seen each other for a while, he still treated Song Jiaren as well as before.

“Thank you!” Song Jiaren politely took the lollipop. She peeled off the wrapper and placed the candy in her mouth. The strong strawberry scent immediately spread.

So sweet. It was as if it was so sweet that it reached Song Jiaren’s heart.

Sounds of rustling could be heard from afar. They turned their heads and saw a group of seventeen to eighteen-year-old students gathered in their direction. It was unknown what they were discussing.

Later on, Song Jiaren didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, she hadn’t seen Jiang Ye for a long time. Now, the two of them still had a lot to talk about!

“By the way, I heard about your mom’s kidnapping. What happened? Have they caught the culprit?”

At the mention of her mother’s kidnapping, Song Jiaren’s smile immediately disappeared. Her face fell and she looked dejected. Although they caught the culprit, the harm the culprit had done to her mother could not be erased. Therefore, the kidnapping was still a source of trauma.

“We caught him. He has a criminal record. He’s already at the police station.”

“That’s good!” Hearing that he had been caught, Jiang Ye immediately nodded. Then, he reached out and patted Song Jiaren’s head.

“Gee!” Jiang Ye’s hand had just touched Song Jiaren’s head when she immediately dodged it. She said to Jiang Ye angrily, “My mother said that a girl’s head can’t be touched.”

Seeing Song Jiaren’s expression, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but laugh. She was too cute.

“Jiaren, to be honest, it’s been a long time. You’re really getting more and more beautiful.” As they spoke, Jiang Ye looked into Song Jiaren’s eyes affectionately. The moment their gazes met, Song Jiaren immediately avoided eye contact with Jiang Ye, like a panicked rabbit.

At this moment, there was a hint of awkwardness in the air.

“Uh ~” Song Jiaren touched her hair, and her expression seemed to be a little troubled. “Hahahaha, you really like to joke. Aren’t I still the same? You, on the other hand, are always missing. How mysterious.”

In the end, Song Jiaren thought of the only thing that could quickly change the topic. Finally, after her words, she successfully brought the topic back to Jiang Ye.

“I…” Jiang Ye opened his mouth and was about to say something to Song Jiaren when he was suddenly interrupted by the group of girls behind him.

“Um, I’m sorry ~” A girl with a high ponytail appeared in Jiang Ye and Song Jiaren’s line of sight. “Are you two a couple?” The girl had fair skin, rosy lips, and white teeth. She looked very confident. Behind her were a few girls who looked about her age.

“What?” Song Jiaren was confused. What kind of question was this?

“What has this got to do with you?” Jiang Ye stood up and frowned. However, his arms subconsciously protected Song Jiaren, who was sitting on the park bench behind him.

“If she’s not your girlfriend, can you give me your contact information?” Then, the girl closed her eyes and asked, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage.

Alright, so it turned out that she was hitting on him!

“No!” Jiang Ye shook his head. He looked at the girls with a menacing look. After being frightened by him, the girls dispersed.
