Ye Zhiwei ran up to Jiang Jianian. Because she had been running the whole time she was looking for Jiang Jianian, she was still a little out of breath. As if she had just thought of something, the first thing she asked was, "Were you smoking just now?"

That's really a killjoy.

Jiang Jianian sneered and said in a flat tone, "No."

"I saw it all. I even saw you throw the cigarette away." Ye Zhiwei blinked, knowingly asking, "So you were still feeling jealous and angry, right? So angry that you wanted to smoke to vent your emotions, and then you remembered that I don't like boys smoking, so you threw the cigarette away?"

The guess was extremely accurate, almost perfect.

Jiang Jianian glanced at the smug Ye Zhiwei and said expressionlessly, "I just suddenly don't want to touch cigarettes."

Ye Zhiwei suddenly realized that the frustration and irritation she had felt because Jiang Jianian hadn't replied had vanished in an instant.

Jiang Jianian walked ahead, with Ye Zhiwei following behind triumphantly. They walked out of the experimental building and arrived at the parking lot outside the west gate of Yanda University. Finally, Jiang Jianian stopped in front of a car, took out the car key from his pocket, and unlocked it.

Ye Zhiwei asked in surprise, "When did you buy a car?"

"recent."

Although Ye Zhiwei lives off the Ye family and has no worries about food and drink and spends money like water, she is a useless person with no source of income. She never expected that Jiang Jianian would buy a house and now even buy a car.

"Could it be a subsidy from your father—"

Jiang Jianian glanced at Ye Zhiwei and corrected her, "It's a subsidy from the research institute."

He got into the car, and Ye Zhiwei assumed that Jiang Jianian was shy because of her teasing and wanted to drive away. She immediately opened the car door, got into the passenger seat, and pointed at Jiang Jianian, who was about to drive off, saying, "Did you find me annoying now because I hit the nail on the head? Humph, I was worried for nothing that you would ignore me. So you were hiding away and sulking. You even wanted to smoke. Did the guy who said I didn't want to smoke quit for a long time before?"

Jiang Jianian remained silent.

The more he acted this way, the more smug Ye Zhiwei became, recounting as if it were a treasure: "How jealous you must be! You pretended to leave me only a message saying you were leaving, then secretly went to buy cigarettes, stood downstairs in the lab building and threw them away. If I hadn't run out to look for you and happened to be there, would you have been jealous all day? Hmm?"

Jiang Jianian glanced at Ye Zhiwei out of the corner of his eye and continued driving.

Ye Zhiwei was always the one being teased, taken advantage of, and forced to blush shyly when she and Jiang Jianian interacted privately. Suddenly, she sensed that Jiang Jianian was subtly hinting at the same kind of anger she had felt before, which excited her immensely. She continued to ask Jiang Jianian, "Why don't you tell me anything? If you're jealous, you should at least say so! How am I supposed to know if you just leave a few words? You can tell me what you're thinking, and we can have a good talk. What if you keep everything bottled up inside and it gets to you? Isn't that right, little Jiang?"

She didn't notice that the car, which was originally heading towards the villa, suddenly drove into a sparsely populated alley.

As Ye Zhiwei was still instructing Jiang Jianian on the importance of timely communication, daring to express himself, and speaking his mind, the car finally stopped at a dead end. There was no one around, and the surrounding stone walls were naturally covered with vines. The place was very quiet, so quiet that there wasn't a sound.

Ye Zhiwei finally realized something was wrong. She looked at Jiang Jianian, who had suddenly stopped the car in the driver's seat, with a sense of foreboding. She said tremblingly, "Jiang Jianian, you... why did you park the car here? We... weren't we going back?"

Jiang Jianian gave her a deep look but didn't say anything.

Ye Zhiwei's sixth sense finally kicked in. Her eyelids twitched violently, and she immediately felt terrified, on the verge of tears: "No way, no way? I was just teasing you a bit, what are you trying to do by bringing me to this desolate corner? What are you planning to do!"

Jiang Jianian remained silent, her slender fingers busy unbuttoning her white lab coat as she prepared to remove it.

The weather is gradually turning cooler, but the boy in the car seems to be feeling incredibly hot and restless because of the restlessness rising in his heart. Even with the air conditioning on, the heat cannot be dispelled. He takes off his white lab coat, revealing a white shirt underneath. Then he starts to unbutton it, loosening two or three buttons to the point that his collarbone is vaguely visible.

He unbuttoned his shirt while staring at Ye Zhiwei, and when Ye Zhiwei was so nervous that she didn't move, he slowly asked, "Why don't you continue with that topic? Weren't you just asking me what to do when I was about to burst? Are you not going to talk about it anymore? Weren't you having a lot of fun just now? Hmm? Ye Zhiwei."

He was different today; even his tone of voice seemed more flippant than before. His gaze was extremely aggressive, and the more nervous Ye Zhiwei became, the stronger his desire to bully her seemed to grow. Jiang Jianian moved closer to Ye Zhiwei, staring at her intently, and said, "You want to know what I'm thinking, don't you? You think I should communicate everything with you properly, don't you—"

Ye Zhiwei had no idea that the boy who had just thought she was a little shy had now become a completely different person. She almost suspected that Jiang Jianian was doing it on purpose, pretending to be an easy-to-deceive, shy little boy to lower her guard and get her on the thief's bus, completely unaware that she was the little lamb in the eyes of the big bad wolf.

"I don't want to know, I don't want to know anymore!" Ye Zhiwei immediately denied, "I was just joking."

"You don't want to know now? It's too late." Jiang Jianian placed Ye Zhiwei's hand on his chest and slowly moved it, finally lowering his head to kiss her lips. He said in a hoarse voice, "I am indeed jealous."

He admitted it.

But Ye Zhiwei no longer had the smugness she had at the beginning. She was tense and on high alert, her heart beating faster than Jiang Jianian's.

She tried to pull her hand away, but Jiang Jianian wouldn't let go. With a slight pull, Ye Zhiwei fell against him. Taking advantage of the moment, Jiang Jianian leaned close to her ear, narrowing his eyes, and said, word by word, "Since you're so eager to know what I'm thinking, then I'll tell you. I am indeed very possessive. Knowing that person was filming at the school, and that the person they hired was you—"

Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but defend herself, "I'm just an extra! I'm just an extra, how could they have asked me to act in a movie? No, no, no, they asked everyone to act in a movie."

Her voice grew softer and softer until she dared not utter a sound at all, and could only look pitifully at Jiang Jianian.

"Ye Zhiwei, I only have one thought in my heart." Jiang Jianian kissed Ye Zhiwei's ear, his voice hoarse with heavy breathing, and continued, "I really should lock you up and bully you badly, until your legs are so weak you can't even walk..."
