Chapter Seven

Upon hearing Ji Xingguo's voice, Ji Wanmei was startled and quickly said to Lei Tingjun, "My dad found out, you go downstairs right now!"

Lei Tingjun, however, was not afraid. He had been leaning over the wall, which was taller than a person, to talk to Ji Wanmei. Now, he simply used his arms to support himself and jumped down.

His movements were like those of a nimble leopard, his arms full of bulging, yet restrained muscles, and his white short-sleeved T-shirt couldn't hide the hidden power emanating from his chest muscles.

His legs were so long that he landed without making a sound.

The courtyard was dark, with no lights on and the walls filled with flowers and plants grown by Ji Wanmei's father. It was so dark that you couldn't see anyone there unless you were paying close attention.

Most people wouldn't have Lei Tingjun's audacity to climb over someone else's wall and come in.

As soon as he landed, he looked up at her.

Ji Wanmei had just finished showering and washing her hair.

She has long, smooth, black hair that falls softly over her shoulders. Her small, delicate face is fair-skinned, and her lips are bright red. She is both charming and innocent. She wears a white cotton shirt and light blue pants, giving her a retro look reminiscent of the Republic of China era.

The slightly tapered waist of her top accentuated her slender and graceful figure, making her waist appear as delicate as a willow branch. The slender waist further emphasized the fullness of her chest, making it seem as if it was about to burst out from under the open-front collar of the top.

The faint fragrance emanating from her wafted into Lei Tingjun's nostrils in the night, and he instantly felt himself freeze.

Even in the darkest of nights, he dared not look directly at her and quickly looked away.

It felt like even glancing at her was a desecration.

Even though he didn't look at her directly, that one glance was enough for Lei Tingjun to remember everything; the delicate fragrance lingering in his nostrils still reminded him of it.

Ji Wanmei never expected that Lei Tingjun would dare to openly climb over the wall right under her father's nose. She was both anxious and angry, and stomped her foot: "I told you to leave, how did you get in!"

"Don't worry, your dad won't find out." Lei Tingjun didn't have a strong sense of moral constraint regarding this kind of thing.

In his view, if he wanted to see Ji Wanmei, he should come directly to see her.

He wasn't there to steal or do anything bad; he just wanted to see her.

But Ji Wanmei thought differently.

What decent man would climb over a girl's wall at night?

He acts so recklessly, without caring about what others think. No wonder he was still single in his thirties in his past life.

Inside the room, Ji Xingguo felt as if someone was talking outside, as if they were about to get up and come out.

Ji Wanmei frowned slightly: "You should leave now. We can talk during the day."

Seeing her displeased expression, Lei Tingjun coughed, touched his nose, and said awkwardly, "I just came to see you to confirm whether what you said during the day was true. Otherwise... otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Since speaking with Ji Wanmei this afternoon, Lei Tingjun's mind has been in a state of high excitement.

It was already dark at night, and the other three brothers in their dormitory had all come back to sleep.

Lei Tingjun lay on the hard iron bunk bed, his head resting on his arms, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Since he couldn't sleep, he simply got up and went directly to the staff compound to find Ji Wanmei.

Only when he saw her and heard her voice did Lei Tingjun realize that he wasn't dreaming!

Ji Wanmei stood in the pot of phoenix tail orchid that her father was growing, which was more than half her height.

She used the potted plant to cover half of her body, and said with a stern face, "It originally meant to be, but if you ever climb over the wall at night without my permission again, then it won't count!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Tingjun panicked: "Y-you, don't be angry. Okay, okay, I'll leave now. Don't be upset. If you don't like it, I'll never climb over the wall again."

As Lei Tingjun spoke, he nimbly pushed himself up and flipped over the wall.

His arms were strong, and when he braced himself against the wall, he looked like a leopard with explosive power, exuding masculine hormones.

He jumped over a wall that was about the same height as Ji Wanmei as easily as stepping over a ridge in a field, which shows how good his physical strength and explosive power are.

Moreover, he was tall, so even when he stood outside the wall, he could still stick his head out.

His short, stiff black hair blended seamlessly into the night.

He stared intently at Ji Wanmei, his dark eyes gleaming, his gaze sweeping over her delicate features inch by inch. He pursed his lips and said, "Then how can I come to you in the future?"

Ji Wanmei was worried that her father would come out soon, so she urged him to leave quickly: "Don't come to this compound unless it's necessary. If something happens, I'll come to the factory to find you."

Ji Xingguo came out of the living room with a teacup in his hand. He stood on the steps by the door and said, "Meimei, it's so late, and it's all dark. What are you doing in the yard?"

Lei Tingjun quickly crouched down, his short-haired head tucked in, and he disappeared from sight outside the courtyard wall.

Since he was going to date Ji Wanmei in the future, he was still a little intimidated by this 'future father-in-law'.

He subconsciously knew that he couldn't leave a bad impression on Ji Xingguo.

Ji Wanmei stood beside the phoenix tail orchid, raised her hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, and made a gesture to pick up the watering can placed beside her, saying naturally:

"Dad, I'm looking at the flowers you're growing. They're growing so well. Do they need some water?"

Ji Xingguo quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't water them, don't water them! Too much water will damage their roots."

The mention of flowers and plants immediately diverted Ji Xingguo's attention, causing him to completely forget why he had come out in the first place.

Ji Wanmei breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that Lei Tingjun should have already left, before entering the house.

Seeing that the TV was off, she said, "Dad, I'm going to bed now. You should go to bed early too."
