“Oh right, remember my mother told you you should come over for lunch today? We’ll have to give you a rain check on that. My younger cousin just came back from abroad, so lunch has turned into a family gathering.”
If he hadn’t mentioned, Ye Jian wouldn’t have remembered; she urged: “No need, no need, your mother is being too courteous. I won’t be around during the weekends, so help me thank your mother.”
“We know we won’t be able to find you during the weekends; I’m going to head for breakfast. See you on Monday.”
“See you on Monday.” Ye Jian, who wore a calm expression, did not raise Yang Heng’s suspicions. After sending him off, Ye Jian turned around and closed the door, she leaned against the door and let out a long breath, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Xia Jinyuan stared at her nervous look. The smile on his face that cannot be suppressed any longer rumbled across the room, “Relax, even if your schoolmates are coming in before they enter the room, I would also…”
Before he had finished uttering the last two words ‘conceal myself,’ “Knock knock knock” the sound of knocking erupted once again, making Xia Jinyuan, who had yet to finish his sentence, to straighten the smile on his face and walked towards Ye Jian with urgent steps, then swiftly disappeared into the bathroom.
The voices of two female seniors came from outside, “Junior Ye Jian, are you done packing? We just bumped into Yang Heng; he told us you were also headed to school; in that case, we can go back to school together.”
As expected, she can’t feel guilty, the guiltier she felt, the more scared she’ll become, and more events would occur!
Ye Jian opened the door for the second time, then explained she wasn’t going to return to school, only then did she successfully send off these two warm-hearted seniors.
“Looks like this isn’t a safe place, we’ll have to leave this place quickly.” Xia Jinyuan walked out and tried his damndest to hold in his laughter, and he looked at Ye Jian with a serious expression, “Otherwise, I’m worried you’ll cry out of nervousness.”
Her small face was as red as an apple; her nerves were also wound tightly. With a face that looked like she was afraid something would happen, no matter which angle he looked, he still felt that she was quite adorable.
There was no way Ye Jian wouldn’t notice him trying to hold in his laughter. After glaring at him, she opened the wardrobe and took out the blow-dried military uniform, “What’s not safe, I’m only nervous because you’re only wearing a bathrobe. Anyhow, I’m still a student, if they saw there was a man in my room wearing just a bathrobe, I wouldn’t have the face to continue my schooling.”
Nothing had happened in actuality, but if he was seen, then it doesn’t matter whether or not something had happened! It’ll become a huge problem!
“If you put on your clothes, then it’ll be fine if I opened the door!” She took out his uniform and shirt, looking up, she saw Xia Jinyuan abyssal pupils were currently staring at her without blinking. Ye Jian’s hand paused in the air, seeing him acting this way, she unconsciously took a step back, “…What are you looking at me for, hurry up and put on your clothes.”
Her voice was quite steady, but was just a bit soft, honestly because the current Xia Jinyuan was making Ye Jian’s heart tremble.
Laziness perforated his just-awakened handsome face. The light in his fathomless eyes grew dim and faded away, giving her the feeling of a cheetah that was stretching out its sharp claws and had targeted her as its prey.
“…You, you should put on your clothes, we’re leaving after you’re finished changing.”
Her breathing was a bit strained, and he could feel that she was a bit nervous, Xia Jinyuan walked over to receive the clean and subtly fragrant military uniform, his gaze was locked onto her face, without moving even an inch, “After I fell asleep, did you immediately head to the airport?”
“Mhm, didn’t you say you’re out of clothes to wear? The first thing that came to my mind was to get your military uniform back.” His expression was really indifferent; it was impossible to figure out what exactly caused the light in his eyes to fade away. Ye Jian, who was pondering in her heart, was also certain that she hadn’t actually stepped on any landmines of his, everything, was quite natural.
