Jiang Zhiyi, as a rapid-transmigration tasker, works diligently every day, playing the role of a sacrificial character, but the male protagonist seems to be getting more and more abnormal.

Chapter 475 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 27
"You..." Ye Jingming was clearly stunned, not expecting to see a stranger here.
His gaze swept over Lu Jingxun from head to toe, his eyes filled with doubt.
"What's the matter?" Lu Jingxun acted like the host, showing no awareness of being a guest.
You'd really think he was a member of the Jiang family; he's just at home right now.
A soft footstep sound came from the stairs, accompanied by the sweet voices of two little ones. Jiang Zhiyi led Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin down the stairs slowly.
"You're here?" Jiang Zhiyi was slightly taken aback when she saw Ye Jingming, and then said softly.
"Yes, I came to see you." Ye Jingming's eyes softened. He walked directly past Lu Jingxun to the table, placed the things he was carrying on the table, and took out several bags of things that needed to be refrigerated to put in the kitchen refrigerator.
"You brought so much stuff again, it must have cost a lot of money..." Jiang Zhiyi knew she couldn't refuse; he always came with bags and packages. "You sit down, I'll go put them away..."
"It's alright, I'll take care of it." Ye Jingming waved his hand and entered the kitchen with practiced ease.
A moment later, the sound of him arranging items in the kitchen could be heard. His movements were practiced, and he neatly stacked everything into the refrigerator.
Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin had just woken up, their little mouths were dry and they were a little thirsty. The two of them sat around the table, holding cups in both hands, and drank water with a "glug glug" sound. They would glance at each other from time to time, their eyes revealing ignorance and innocence.
When Ye Jingming came out of the kitchen, Jiang Zhiyi realized that the two did not know each other, so she quickly introduced them to each other.
"This is Lu Yanlin, he lives next door."
"His name is Ye Jingming, he's Secretary Ye's son. You should have met Secretary Ye before..."
Jiang Zhiyi explained simply, but couldn't help recalling what happened last time.
Once, the Lu family's car accidentally got stuck in a field, damaging someone else's seedlings. That family was very difficult to talk to and, thinking that the Lu family was rich, they planned to extort more money from them.
Although Lu Jingxun is not short of money, he is not one to compromise. He hates being threatened, especially when he is angered. He will directly threaten to sue the whole family.
Later, they even managed to smooth things over with the police station, and a lot of people came. The scene became quite chaotic, and it looked like they were going to arrest and lock up all the troublemakers.
The matter escalated to a significant level, and in the end, it was only through the intervention of Secretary Ye, who made several trips back and forth, that the issue was resolved.
"Nice to meet you." Lu Jingxun nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, but his eyes remained devoid of warmth.
Ye Jingming didn't say much, only politely returned a smile, his expression calm but subtly revealing a hint of wariness.
Sometimes, no words are needed; they all know they're not on the same path.
There was a subtle disharmony between the two.
They didn't even have any good feelings towards each other.
Lu Jingxun narrowed his eyes, pondering to himself.
It's not hard to see that the man in front of her likes Jiang Zhiyi. They've known each other for a long time and have a pretty good relationship.
The person I saw last time was him.
They come quite frequently; I see them every few days.
However, this is not good news for him.
This man's presence will inevitably affect his plans.
Lu Jingxun then looked at Jiang Zhiyi, who was wiping her younger siblings' mouths. She seemed a bit silly and no one knew what she was thinking all day, but her innocent and guileless appearance was quite endearing.
Maybe men who aren't very smart like this.
"Jin Jin and Yin Yin, your brother brought you a small drawing board. You can draw lots of beautiful pictures." Ye Jingming squatted down and handed over the small drawing board, his eyes full of affection.
The packaging bag for the drawing board is printed with many patterns, with bright colors and rounded corners, making it look delicate and cute.
"Wow! Now we can draw pretty flowers!" Jiang Qiuyin clapped her hands excitedly.
"I want to draw Ultraman too!" Jiang Qiujin also looked eager to try.
In his heart, Ultraman is a super powerful hero, and he has long wanted to draw Ultraman.
The two children were immediately drawn to the novel drawing board. They surrounded Ye Jingming, chattering about what they wanted to draw, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Seeing how happy they were, Jiang Zhiyi also smiled.
Lu Jingxun, standing to the side, seemed to be completely ignored.
He frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly against his side.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyi quickly spoke to him, as the air conditioner at home was still relying on him and she couldn't let him be neglected.
"Won't it be noisy? They've just woken up and are full of energy; they'll be making a ruckus for a long time."
Lu Jingxun shook his head. "Kids all love to play."
Ye Jingming slowly stood up.
Inadvertently, his gaze fell on Lu Jingxun's leg, which seemed to still be injured, as evidenced by the crutches leaning against it.
Jiang Qiujin and Jiang Qiuyin skipped and hopped around the room, running in circles with their drawing boards.
"Jin Jin, Yin Yin, be careful not to bump into this brother, he has a leg injury and it's inconvenient for him to walk..."
Ye Jingming spoke up to remind him.
Although these words seem like well-intentioned advice to the child, there is an underlying meaning to them, which is an implication.
Your leg is already broken, and you still came despite having so much difficulty moving around. You should go home and rest...
Lu Jingxun was incredibly intelligent; how could he not understand the hidden meaning in his words?
The contest between the two had already begun silently.
Lu Jingxun replied casually, "It's nothing, my leg injury is almost healed. She always comes to see me, several times a day, so I rarely come over."
Their conversation seemed perfectly normal, but Jiang Zhiyi felt that something was off.
Not long after, Lu Jingxun said, "I should go back."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the cane beside him to support his body and slowly stood up straight.
He was using a cane, and Jiang Zhiyi naturally couldn't let him walk alone, so she prepared to take him home. "Let me take you home."
She turned to Ye Jingming and said, "Jingming, please keep an eye on Jinjin and Yinyin for me. I'll be back soon."
"good."
When they reached the courtyard gate, Lu Jingxun suddenly stopped, slightly turned his body to the side, and half-huddled Jiang Zhiyi in front of him.
The surrounding air seemed to thicken at that moment.
He leaned down and whispered in Jiang Zhiyi's ear, his warm breath brushing against her ear like a feather, making her feel a little ticklish. His lips seemed to touch her ear. "I'll come see you again tomorrow."
At this moment, their intimate stance, viewed from the side, looks very much like they are kissing.
