Extra Spirit Armor: 3. I get quite impulsive every time I see you

Long Jia had always admired Ling Ling's wisdom in handling their relationship. He had no confidence in his own lifelong loyalty, but at least he was fortunate to be able to remain her friend forever. After Ling Ling's explicit rejection, he had settled for other girls. However, among Ling Ling's many suitors, he was an eyesore and was pushed away, both openly and covertly. Hao Shengnan scolded him privately: "You are such a good guy. You can't pursue Ling'er, but you don't let others succeed. You change girlfriends one after another, and have a passionate relationship with each one, but there is no one around Ling'er. What is your intention!" Long Jia shook his hands irritably and said: "Use your brain to look at the kind of guys who surround Ling'er all day long. None of them is worthy of her. I am manually protecting her from harassment! If I meet someone worthy of her one day, I will do my best to be a good wingman." Hao Shengnan teased: "In your eyes, those boys are not worthy of her, so how good are you? Are you worthy of her?" Long Jia lowered his head helplessly and said: "Of course I am not worthy of her. I'm not that bad, it's just that she is too good." Hao Shengnan touched the top of his head like touching his son and said: "It seems that Ling'er has given you an identity that suits your ability." Long Jia shook his head in annoyance and decided not to hang out with these two women in the short term, otherwise he would always be three points shorter than them. He was not tall to begin with, and only his arrogance could make him look taller. Ever since he was with these two women, he no longer had this privilege. But when he heard that a boy named Lin Kun dared to assault Ling Ling in the fighting club in the middle of the night, he couldn't sit still again. He gathered a group of people to beat the boy half to death, and even recorded his confession to get him expelled and put in the police station. But when the bastard knelt down and begged Ling Ling, she softened her heart and persuaded Long Jia to let go. Long Jia kept avoiding her and refused to listen. Ling Ling actually chased him to his house. Long Mama and Long Zhenzhen saw that this was the first time a girl came to Long Jia's house, and he was willing to let her in. They thought that the relationship between the two was not simple, so they paid close attention to the girl. Long Mama was very satisfied with what she saw, and took Zhenzhen back to the house and was happy for a long time. Long Jia brought Ling Ling back to his bedroom, tossed her a bottle of mineral water, and said, "You've made a huge sacrifice for that scumbag. Since you came here, my mom and my sister have mistaken you for my girlfriend. I wonder what you'll do next!" "From now on, I'll just have to come over more often! I'll find you a godmother and godsister, and please them until they've demoted you to a godson." Ling Ling joked with him, grinning...

Long Jia has always admired Ling Ling's wisdom in handling their relationship. He has no confidence that he can remain loyal to her in this life, but fortunately he can be friends with her forever, which is really a blessing.

After being explicitly rejected by Ling Ling, he settled for the next best thing and moved on to other girls. However, among Ling Ling's many suitors, he was really an eyesore and was pushed away in some ways, both overtly and covertly.

Hao Shengnan cursed him privately: "You are such a badass! You can't win Ling'er over yourself, but you don't let anyone else succeed. You change girlfriends one after another, and every time you have a passionate relationship, you leave Ling'er with no one around her. What are your intentions?"

Long Jia shook his hands irritably and said, "Use your brain to look at those guys who hang around Ling'er all day. None of them is worthy of her. I'm just protecting her from harassment! If I ever meet someone worthy of her, I will do my best to be her wingman."

Hao Shengnan teased, "If you think those boys are not worthy of her, then how good are you? Do you think you are worthy of her?"

Long Jia lowered his head helplessly and said, "Of course I'm not worthy of her. I'm not that bad, it's just that she's too good."

Hao Shengnan touched the top of his head as if it were his son's and said, "It seems Ling'er has given you an identity that suits your abilities."

Long Jia shook his head in disgust, determined not to hang out with these two women any longer. Otherwise, he'd always be three inches shorter than them. He wasn't tall to begin with, and only his arrogance could make him look taller. Ever since he'd been with these two women, he'd lost that privilege.

But when he heard that a boy named Lin Kun dared to assault Ling Ling in the fighting club in the middle of the night, he could no longer sit still. He gathered a group of people to beat the boy half to death and recorded his confession to get him expelled and sent to the police.

But when the bastard knelt down and begged Ling Ling, she softened her heart and instead persuaded Long Jia to let go.

Long Jia kept hiding from her and refused to obey. Ling Ling actually chased him home.

When Mother Long and Long Zhenzhen saw that it was the first time a girl came to see Long Jia, and he was willing to let her in, they thought that the relationship between the two was not simple. They paid close attention to the girl. Mother Long was satisfied no matter how she looked at her, and she took Zhenzhen back to the house and was happy for a long time.

Long Jia brought Ling Ling back to his bedroom, tossed her a bottle of mineral water and said, "You've made a huge sacrifice for that scumbag. Now that you're here, my mom and my sister will mistakenly think you're my girlfriend. Let's see what you'll do in the future!"

"From now on, I'll just have to come more often! Find you a godmother and godsister, and please them enough to downgrade you to a godson." Ling Ling joked with him with a smile, trying to make him happy.

Long Jia knew what she was talking about, and he wasn't buying it. "Don't try to talk nonsense with me. You want me to let Mu Gun go? No way! Ling Ling, I've really gotten to know you all over again this time. You're such a chivalrous person on a normal day, but how could you be so clueless about the big issues? His crime isn't something you can just forgive and forget about. It's a criminal offense. If I forgive him this time and let him realize how cheap the cost of committing a crime is, he'll continue to cause trouble in the future."

Ling Ling said anxiously, "His parents also came to see me."

Long Jia said, "Then I'm going to warn him again. If he plays this kind of sad drama again, the punishment will be doubled!"

Ling Ling held his shoulders and forced him to sit on the chair so that he could talk to her at eye level.

She chose her words carefully. "Lin Kun's parents have had a difficult life. They've been plagued by chronic illnesses for years. They've paid for his education, and he's always done very well. They're on the verge of escaping poverty. If he goes to jail now, the family will be ruined. The two elderly people can't handle such a tragedy. I think Lin Kun may have been acting on impulse. I'm willing to trust him just this once."

"Impulsive? He pursued you madly before. Did all those sweet words make you confused? I like you too. I am always impulsive when I see you. Have I ever done anything that crossed the line? Have I ever said anything or touched anything that made you uncomfortable? Would I run to the fighting gym in the middle of the night and forcefully hug and kiss you when no one is around?" Long Jia jumped up from his chair and yelled at her again, "Ling Ling, sex offenders have only two futures - a repeat offender or a prisoner. Don't be so naive here, you will regret it later!"

"I don't want to care about the future. If he dares to do evil again, the world will punish him on my behalf. I'm only telling you this time. If I don't let Lin Kun go this time, his parents will have no one to support them or treat their illness. What if they die of illness soon?" Ling Ling also stood up and confronted him.

Long Jia chuckled, then scolded her loudly, "Great Sage Ling, you really know how to take the blame for yourself. His parents died because of this, and that's his fault, not your fault because you don't forgive him. Otherwise, according to your logic, if you haven't saved your own food rations for African children, then every child who starves to death on the other side of the world is blamed on you?"

"Dragon Armor—" Ling Ling wanted to argue with him again, but tears started to flow first. "I haven't had a good night's sleep since what happened. What happened that night was scary enough, and everything that happened afterwards left me at a loss. We're both just young people, just 20 years old. I don't want this to ruin me, and I don't have the heart to ruin him. So... let's end this as soon as possible!"

Tears welled up in her clear eyes, which made Long Jia feel sad.

He turned away and said sadly, "This is your business. As an outsider, I have no right to interfere. You decide for yourself."

"No, Longjia," Ling Ling hurriedly walked behind him, tugging at his sleeve and sobbing, "Luckily, I'm here this time with you. You've always stood up for me. I don't have a parent to protect me, and I was terrified after this incident. When I met Lin Kun's parents, my legs were shaking under the table. Fortunately, I have you and Shengnan, who have always helped and protected me. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do——"

Long Jia turned around and hugged her tightly, gently stroking her trembling back and coaxing her, "Alright, alright, it's all over. You've been wronged this time, and I'll listen to you in everything. I've always listened to you, too. You're smarter than me, and I've never been wronged by your advice. If I find out that beast dares to harm the world again, I'll settle all my old and new accounts with him and make sure he never gets away with it!"

Ling Ling had dismissed Long Jia's words as merely angry words. She had never imagined that years later, she would encounter Lin Kun again and be subjected to his evil deeds once again. And because of her foolish kindness, even more innocent girls would fall victim to his cruelty.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

When Long Jia heard Yu Chuanbei's name from Ling Ling's mouth for the first time, he realized: This time Ling Ling might have really met the right person;

When Long Jia officially met Yu Chuanbei for the first time, he finally confirmed: Alas, Ling Ling has really met the right person this time.

He recalled the promise he had made to Hao Shengnan that year, "If I ever meet someone worthy of her, I will do my best to be her wingman." Now that he was going to put it into practice, he would certainly spare no effort. However, he would also spare no effort in feeling lost.

If Yu Chuanbei and Ling Ling had continued their sweet life, Long Jia would have nothing to say and would even be grateful to God that Ling Ling had finally found the happiness that suited her best. However, he could never have imagined that they would part ways in such a tragic way.

When he learned that Hao Shengnan was seriously ill, he rushed over in panic, thinking that he was just visiting a patient. When he was about to leave, he found out that they were both patients.

Long Jia stood on the steps at the entrance to the inpatient department, looking up at Ling Ling who was a few steps higher than him, and said angrily, "Such a big thing has happened, and you're not going to tell me, are you?"

"Which one are you referring to?" Ling Ling said in a cheeky manner.

Long Jia rolled his eyes at her, turned his head away, and walked forward with his neck stiff. He heard her footsteps still following behind him and asked indignantly, "Why are you following me?"

"I'll give you a ride." Ling Ling still had an indifferent tone, which made him angry.

"You treat me as an outsider?" He also began to mock her.

Ling Ling stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, begging, "Oh, please don't be angry, it's all over."

"You go over there, but I can't!" Long Jia threw away his sleeves and continued to walk forward angrily. When he was about to go down the last step, he couldn't see her chasing him in his peripheral vision. Instead, he stopped and looked back at her.

She stood there, her brows furrowed, her eyes full of sadness. Her eyes, which could speak, only threw him a heart-warming line of dialogue: I am about to lose Shengnan, are you going to make me lose you too?

Long Jia's heart moved bitterly. He took a few steps up the stairs, walked to her side and sighed, "If you want to break up, then break up. Why did you have an abortion? Who can't raise a child? I'm willing to be your biological father or godfather!"

"You're crazy!" The sorrow that was like a river flooding her head was instantly sucked away by his siphon-like power. She pushed him away, turned around and went back to the ward, ready to ignore him before the end of the month.
