Chapter 44 Senior 11

Wei Jing'an's mind felt like turmoil, the threads she had finally untangled buried within, tangled. Lin Yanzhou held her in his arms, and she could clearly sense his movements. He was about 1.9 meters tall, slightly bent, and placed his palm on the top of her head.

The cold, icy breath cunningly penetrated into her hair follicles.

Wei Jing'an's hair was trembling. She clenched her hands tightly and stared at the ground helplessly. The girl disappeared from her sight. Lin Yanzhou didn't let her go immediately. Instead, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Thank you for your help, junior."

Wei Jingan's fur immediately stood up like a stressed-out kitten. She hurriedly left Lin Yanzhou's embrace, lowered her head, and stammered, "No, you're welcome."

Lin Yanzhou casually complained, "This is really annoying! I wish I had a girlfriend. Otherwise, I really don't know how to refuse someone's request. Will what I said just now hurt her?"

Wei Jingan was still pondering the first half of his sentence. Upon hearing this, she immediately shook her head: "No... Senior is very gentle."

When I was in high school, there was a boy who was very handsome and had many suitors, but he didn't seem to have learned how to respect others. He would throw away the love letters handed to him without hesitation, step on them, and then call them trash.

Although he is arrogant and looks down on others, many people still admire him.

Lin Yanzhou smiled: "That's good. What about you?"

Wei Jingan looked up in panic: "What?"

Lin Yanzhou leaned over to approach her. The cold moonlight clearly reflected the smile in his eyes. His hand approached her cheek. Just as it was about to touch, Wei Jingan could already feel the coolness of his fingers. But he suddenly withdrew and said, "Does what I said bother you?"

What's bothering you?

Wei Jingan was stunned.

Did it count if her heart beat uncontrollably when she was held in the arms of her beloved? If her health hadn't miraculously improved in recent years, such a violent beat would have very likely put her life in danger.

Wei Jing'an stood in the cold wind, her face flushed, unaware she was shivering. The mountain breeze was chilly to begin with. Lin Yanzhou stopped teasing her and reached out, tentatively yet naturally, placing his hand in her arm, gently pulling her forward.

"Thank goodness you're by my side, otherwise I really don't know how to handle a situation like this. My birthday is in a few days, and it happens to be Saturday. Are you free to attend my birthday party?"

Before Wei Jing'an could recover from the previous question, he immediately asked her to attend his birthday party without giving her any time to think. Would she go? Of course she wanted to, but she had many concerns.

Lin Yanzhou's family was very well-off. What should she wear to his birthday party? What should she prepare? Her tangled expression fell into Lin Yanzhou's eyes. He agreed for her without question: "Go ahead. We are all students from Qingdao University. We have prepared a lot of desserts and fruits. You will like them."

He spoke with conviction. Before Wei Jing'an could even consider the implications of his words, he half-pulled her into the car, blocking out the gazes of the students gathered nearby or those hiding in tents, who were secretly watching.

Wei Jing'an felt like a trapped lamb, only regaining consciousness once she was back in the closed carriage. She vaguely sensed a difference in Lin Yanzhou's attitude towards her, but she was afraid she might have misunderstood. Thus, she frowned in a tangled mix of joy and embarrassment.

Lin Yanzhou walked her to the car and went to the front seat. He turned on the reading light in the front seat, took out his laptop, and resumed his cold and indifferent demeanor.

It was as if the smiling man just now was Wei Jingan's hallucination.

She was bewildered by his ability to change his appearance at any moment.

Lin Yanzhou typed as he spoke, "There might be poisonous insects here at night. Sleeping in a tent isn't as comfortable as in a car. You can sleep here without worry. You're too thin, so the back seat is perfect for you."

The seats in the car were made of high-quality materials and were very comfortable to sit on. The simple black leather chairs felt steady and solid. The peach-scented aromatherapy placed in the air vents was Wei Jingan's favorite scent.

She held onto the front seat with both hands and leaned her head over. Her ten slender white fingers gripping the seat were particularly dazzling. Lin Yanzhou sat upright, his Adam's apple rolling. He heard her say, "Senior, you should sleep in the car. I'll just find a tent and squeeze in..."

Lin Yanzhou glanced at her sideways and said, "I have work to deal with, it will be very late. You go to bed first."

After he said that, Wei Jingan didn't want to bother him anymore. The computer screen was filled with incomprehensible numbers. She remembered that Lin Yanzhou already had a job, and she felt the distance between them widen again.

It was as if a chasm separated the two of them. She sat back down listlessly, her posture straight. After all, she was in a confined space with Lin Yanzhou, and there were certain actions she didn't dare to make, fearing that it would affect her image in his mind.

Until sleepiness came over her and she could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

At the same time, the typing sound stopped. Lin Yanzhou adjusted the position of the rearview mirror and saw Wei Jingan curled up in the black leather chair.

The dark black wrapped her tightly like sticky, cold tentacles. The soft tentacles hidden under her clothes quietly reached out and gently wrapped around her hands, feet, and drooping hair.

The joy of getting what I wanted didn't last long, as someone knocked on the car window.

Lin Yanzhou cast a cold glance over.

Outside the window he saw a boy who was so familiar that he was worried about him.

Wei Jingan had experienced too much today. The bruises on her calves were still there. She also followed Lin Yanzhou to climb half a mountain to watch the meteor shower. She was so tired that she was snoring.

Lin Yanzhou turned off the lights in the car and opened the door.

He asked, "What is it?"

Zhao Jingze felt overwhelmed by the aura of the man before him, his face a little timid, but he thought of Wei Jingan in the car, and mustered up the courage to speak in the future tense: "Excuse me, Senior Lin, I'm Wei Jingan's friend. She hasn't reported to He Wenjiang yet, and I'm worried. It's getting late, and the students are all resting. I think Wei Jingan should go to bed too. If you have any instructions, please let me know."

Lin Yanzhou leaned against the car body, his long legs slightly stretched out, and smiled indifferently when he heard this: "She's already asleep."

Zhao Jingze choked, but he still felt that this wasn't a good idea. He had noticed Wei Jing'an walking with Lin Yanzhou long before coming here, and he felt anxious and a little jealous. He watched Wei Jing'an being dragged into the car by Lin Yanzhou, and after enduring for a long time, he could no longer bear it.

He asked He Wenjiang about Lin Yanzhou's accommodations. Lin Yanzhou hadn't requested a tent; all the boys' tents had been allocated, leaving no extras. Lin Yanzhou would definitely need to rest in the car tonight, but Wei Jingan was also in the car. What was going on?

Zhao Jingze said, "Excuse me, Senior Lin. There's an extra space in the girls' room. Wei Jing'an can sleep in the tent so she won't disturb Senior Lin. Also, Senior Zhang Wei didn't see you just now and was very worried. Don't let her misunderstand."

Lin Yanzhou's eyes darkened completely, and he said coldly, "Zhang Wei? I have nothing to do with her."

Then, he stood up straight and took a few steps forward. His expression was oppressive and his tone was slightly coercive: "What is your relationship with Wei Jingan? Where she sleeps has nothing to do with you?" He was like a beast about to lose control.

Zhao Jingze took a few steps back.

It was already late at night, and many people had already gone to sleep in their tents. Lin Yanzhou's car was parked under the shadow of a huge sandalwood tree, and the two of them were in a hidden position. Zhao Jingze saw Senior Lin, who was always praised for his gentleness, and the veins on his forehead bulged. The blue veins suddenly accumulated a strong murderous aura, bulging outwards, as if in the next moment, they would tear off the human skin to reveal the face of a monster.

He experienced the feeling of being powerless, scared, and terrified when he was a child. He even lost the courage to cover his eyes.

But he thought of Wei Jingan who was alone in the car, so he swallowed his saliva and continued to struggle, saying, "Wei Jingan and I are just classmates..." Not even classmates, it's just a one-sided crush. "She's a girl after all. If she spends the night alone in the same car with Senior Lin, people will gossip about her behind her back. Senior Lin, you're a hot topic in school, and what happened tonight will spread all over the campus the next day..."

Is it spreading all over the campus?

That's not bad either.

A cool breeze blew and the man left.

Zhao Jingze vaguely heard him say "I will protect her", then he closed the car door and entered the trunk.

He frowned secretly.

Protect?

Lin Yanzhou truly was a young master who didn't understand the sufferings of the world. Any single rumor could crush a person, not to mention the fact that he had many adoring fans at school. Even picking out one of those madmen could hurt Wei Jingan. Could he really stay by her side forever?

Zhao Jingze circled the huge off-road vehicle from a distance with a worried look on his face, and returned to the tent dejectedly.

…

Inside the car, Lin Yanzhou sat next to Wei Jingan, his black pants stained with light grey shoe prints from her soles.

A soft touch quietly stretched out, a dark red soft touch with black veins, like a tentacles stretched out by a ferocious monster, slowly wrapped around Wei Jingan's wrist hanging under the seat.

He nuzzled her a few times, full of dependence and affection. If he hadn't been afraid of waking her up, he wouldn't have been so gentle. On the contrary, he would have been so forceful that he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood. But at this moment, he only dared to vent his dissatisfaction gently.

Lin Yanzhou sat quietly for a while, took off her shoes and placed them on the footrest. He took off his coat and covered her with it, staring at her closely.

After struggling for a long time and restraining himself for a long time, he finally placed his hand on her pale and slender ankle. His cold fingertips touched her warm skin, and his boiling emotions were relieved. In contrast, his inner desire was aroused.

Can't get close to her.

He will soon lose control.

If his true form was revealed when she was unprepared, she would run away screaming and crying, not daring to get close to him again.

The soft touch wrapped around Wei Jingan's wrist was ruthlessly broken, and black blood spurted out.

Lin Yanzhou groaned softly, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Then, the broken soft touch left her wrist, went into her trouser leg and wrapped around her ankle.

Soft touch can survive on its own for a period of time when separated from the main body.

Under the envious gazes of other soft-touch creatures, it proudly takes on the responsibility of protecting its beloved. Even if it means losing its own life, it must seize the brief moment of intimacy with its beloved up close.

…

On the morning of their return, Lin Yanzhou took the initiative to suggest that he could take two classmates with him. He casually pointed at Wei Jingan and another boy.

He smiled at Zhao Jingze and said, "Driving by yourself is really boring. Can you take my car, Mr. Zhao?"

Before Wei Jingan got in the car, Lin Yanzhou walked to the passenger seat and opened the door. After waiting for her to sit in, he returned to the driver's seat, told Zhao Jingze to get in, and then closed the door.

Wei Jingan looked very pale, and she didn't even eat a few bites of the breakfast handed to her by Lin Yanzhou. She scratched her legs from time to time, feeling itchy as if something was there, but she couldn't pull up her pants in front of the two of them.

Lin Yanzhou glanced at her and asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

Wei Jingan quickly stopped moving: "It's nothing, just a little itchy leg, maybe a mosquito bite."

Just as he finished speaking, a bottle of floral water was delivered from the back seat of the car. Zhao Jingze smiled and said, "I have a pretty complete set of medicines. Use this bottle and the itching will go away immediately."

Wei Jingan thanked him and unscrewed the bottle cap.

The car shuddered violently.

The toilet water flew out of his hand, and before the two people could react, it was caught by the tentacles and thrown out of the car window at an extremely fast speed. The crisp sound of glass shattering on the ground was thrown behind the speeding car.

Wei Jingan cried out, but couldn't find it.

Lin Yanzhou: "It might have fallen somewhere in the car. I'll come look for it when we get out. Is it still itchy? There's medicine in the armrest next to you. You can see it if you open it."

The feeling in her legs disappeared, Wei Jingan thanked him and sat down obediently.

However, Zhao Jingze, who was sitting in the back seat, always felt very strange, especially when he inadvertently met the man's eyes in the rearview mirror, his back would always subconsciously feel cold and numb, as if a beast opened its huge mouth to swallow him.

The car was quiet for the rest of the journey. Just before getting off, Lin Yanzhou invited him, "Mr. Zhao? I've had a great time getting along with you. I'll be hosting a birthday party at home on Saturday. You should come too."

He smiled and said, "I will treat you well."

Zhao Jingze gritted his teeth and agreed. Reason told him it was best to refuse, but under the man's almost staring gaze, he actually said "Okay." He opened the car door and got out, wanting to wait for Wei Jingan, but Wei Jingan was stopped by Lin Yanzhou.

Zhao Jingze had no choice but to leave first.

…

Downstairs in the dormitory, Lin Yanzhou stood straight in front of her and smiled. His gentle and sunny face made Wei Jingan's heart beat faster again. She blushed and looked up, waiting for what he was going to say.

He said, "The students who came to the birthday party are relatively unfamiliar to me. They were just being polite. After all, it's my last year at university. As for you, I'm a junior. I'm very happy to be with you. You must come."

He raised his hand to block the falling leaves, and at the same time blocked the sunlight from her face. "Don't worry about clothes and gifts. I was wearing casual clothes that day. The fact that you can come to my birthday is the best gift. Don't prepare anything for me."

Gentle and considerate. Wei Jingan's entanglement instantly dissipated. The chasm of economic disparity between the two of them gradually disappeared with his gentle voice, and he seemed less vulnerable.

At least now, she can reach out and touch it.

Wei Jingan nodded in agreement and trotted back to the dormitory.

From behind, she resembled a lively little white rabbit. Lin Yanzhou stared at her for a long time, until her figure disappeared, then he returned to the car and left.

Wei Jingan returned to the dormitory and took a shower. She received a letter from Li Jingjing that she had brought from the post station. It was a letter from her hometown, written to her by the village chief.
