Chapter 184 Kill Bai Yueguang and Tie Up the Devil's Heart (19)

When Li Ziyan woke up the next day, he was lying in Jingze's arms, his waist was restrained by Jingze, and his head was resting between Jingze's arms and chest.

I don’t know if Jingze’s arm is comfortable or not. It has been in the same position all night.

Li Ziyan looked at Jingze's sleeping face with a smile on his lips, and the haze in his eyes dissipated a lot. Just as he thought, Jingze did have feelings for him, but because of preconceived notions, he couldn't see clearly what was in his heart.

He watched Jingze's breathing gradually become rapid, blinked his eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and looked up and moved forward.

Soft, dry lips placed a kiss on the chin. It was a simple action, but it seemed to bring out infinite charm. Li Ziyan grabbed Jingze's clothes with both hands and said softly, "Why don't you believe me? I like you so much... but he is the only one in your heart. He is so lucky, but he can't see your good side..."

The voice was light, like a whisper to oneself, but the distance between the two was very close, so just this sound was enough for Jingze to hear clearly.

Li Ziyan hugged Jingze's waist, rested his head on Jingze's chest, buried his face in it, and the hot air he exhaled sprinkled on Jingze's chest, but made it impossible for the other party to see his expression.

Jingze still had his eyes closed, but his breathing was getting faster and faster. He had woken up when Li Ziyan kissed him, but he closed his eyes and didn't dare to move. He heard Li Ziyan's soft confession in his ear, heard Li Ziyan's murmurs that seemed like anger and resentment, and also felt Li Ziyan's dependent embrace.

He had never been a fussy person, even in relationships. He had launched his offensive when he realized he liked Su Jianbai. But now, facing Li Ziyan, he was timid, or perhaps confused, his mind a mess, unable to sort out his feelings.

The person in his arms hugged him tightly, controlling the strength but still being able to feel his uneasiness and anxiety, as if he was afraid that after today, there would be no chance in the future.

Jingze couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, he just felt a sharp pain.

"Hmm..." Jingze let out a muffled groan. The person in his arms seemed to be frightened. He shrank back, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep, but his eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.

Jingze didn't try to expose her, but got up from the bed carefully, and went into the bathroom in a happy mood. He raised his head and looked at the mirror, his expression was stunned for a moment, and there was a smile on his face, even in the corners of his eyes.

This was the first time he noticed his expression in front of Li Ziyan.

Li Ziyan opened his eyes only after the bathroom door was closed. He took a look at the bathroom, sat up from the bed, rubbed his head, changed his clothes and went to the guest room.

When Jingze came out of the bathroom and didn't see Li Ziyan, he knew that he must have gone to cook. The hand on his side moved, and Jingze relaxed and picked up the phone.

The secretary was very efficient. The things he ordered last night had results today. A 32M file was sent to Jingze's mailbox, which was a summary of Li Ziyan's situation today.

After glancing at the time, Jingze sat on the sofa, opened his laptop, downloaded the file onto the computer and read it page by page, but the more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.

He found Li Ziyan and only investigated his background and experience to confirm his innocence, but did not learn about the situation in his orphanage. Li Ziyan did not mention this when he signed the contract with him, so he did not know why Li Ziyan was so decisive at that time until today.

He and Li Ziyan signed a six-month contract, 200,000 per month, which was not a small amount. However, 200,000 per month could only barely cover the expenses of the orphanage. Li Ziyan's own living expenses would probably need to be calculated separately.

To make matters worse, Li Ziyan's place in the postgraduate study program was taken some time ago, which may make his situation even more difficult.

Jingze frowned, clenching his fists on the table, his expression not very good. Li Ziyan had never mentioned this matter to him, nothing at all.

I handled everything by myself and never thought of asking him for help.

Thinking of what Li Ziyan said before, that he was in it for money and that the relationship was a transaction of money and sex, Jingze felt like it was hurt. If Li Ziyan really was in it for money, he could have asked for a high price or asked his family for money. There was no need for him to work himself.

After hammering the table hard, Jingze rubbed his swollen head and continued reading. The secretary was very sensible. After investigating the matter of Li Ziyan's admission to graduate school, he did not stop there, but investigated the reasons behind this matter.

The philanthropist who invested was none other than an "acquaintance" of Jingze, who was also Su Jianbai's pursuer and competitor.

If it were anyone else, Jingze wouldn't have given it much thought, but this person was related to Su Jianbai. He knew his rivals well enough; this person definitely wasn't someone who would invest in a school. It wasn't his alma mater, so why would he invest? Furthermore, why was Li Ziyan the one being squeezed out? He knew Li Ziyan's grades; even his former teachers praised him highly. Unless Li Ziyan had been failing classes repeatedly, he wouldn't have lost the spot.

And the timing was too obvious, it happened to be the day after Li Ziyan and Su Jianbai met.

Jingze closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and stopped himself from thinking too much, but once some thoughts came into his mind, they would take root and sprout in his heart.

After closing the computer, Jingze walked out of the bedroom with a cold face. The room was already filled with the aroma of food. For the first time, he understood what his parents had told him about the mundane world.

If this is how his life is every day, he probably won't be able to refuse and will become addicted to it day by day.

Li Ziyan had already prepared the meal. When he saw Jingze come out, he set the table and waited for Jingze to sit down before he took his seat.

There wasn't much food on the table, but it was exquisite and light in flavor, which suited Jingze's appetite very well. He glanced at Li Ziyan and asked casually, "Have you been busy with your studies lately?"

"fine."

"You should be preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam in your third year, right? Are you confident?"

Jingze sounded like Li Ziyan's father, but Li Ziyan quickly realized that Jingze must have known what was going on. He took a sip of cocoa milk and lowered his eyebrows. "I don't plan to go to graduate school."

"Not planning on pursuing graduate studies?"

"Well, I don't like studying. I plan to work after graduation."

This was a lie. Jingze knew how much Li Ziyan loved reading and valued his studies. The driver told him that Li Ziyan spent his days working and going to the library, so how could he not want to pursue a master's degree.

The only reason was that he had no money. But it was precisely this reason that made Jingze feel uncomfortable.
