Chapter 238 Shi Da Jealous

"...I don't intend to argue." Zhu Jinzhao fidgeted with his fingers, his voice slightly weak, yet clearly firm.

"What do you mean?" Yang Min didn't understand what she was saying.

She pursed her lips and explained, "What I mean is, I don't plan to tell him that I snuck out to play."

“Mingyue is keeping this a secret for me. As long as neither of us says anything, and neither does Sister Yang, my older brother won’t know.”

"..."

Yang Min looked at Zhu Jinzhao with a complicated expression for two seconds, then lowered her head and took a sip of her coffee. Perhaps the coffee wasn't brewed properly, because her expression became strange after she finished it.

"Uh... do you think your older brother is that easy to fool?"

Zhu Jinzhao: "I didn't lie to him. I just didn't tell him that I sneaked out to play."

Yang Min's brows furrowed even more: "If you don't tell him, he won't know?"

“That’s right.” Zhu Jinzhao said with certainty, “As long as we don’t tell him, of course he won’t know.”

"..." Yang Min didn't say anything more, but her expression became even stranger.

"What's wrong?" Shi Jing noticed something was amiss.

"...No, it's nothing." Yang Min shrugged and gave them a forced smile.

"Things have been mostly resolved, you can go home now."

"Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao was a little surprised. "Can I go home too?"

Yang Min nodded: "Okay. The acting teacher has something to do today, so you can't attend class here. Why don't you go back and get some rest to prepare for the recording of the second episode?"

"Okay!" Zhu Jinzhao was very satisfied with the arrangement. He said goodbye to Yang Min and then took Shi Jing's hand and left excitedly.

Yang Min watched her joyful figure disappear into the distance, then suddenly let out a heavy sigh.

"Eh..."

Zhu Jinzhao and Shi Jing were both very happy to suddenly get a half-day off.

Just as they came out of the Star Media building, before they even got into the car, Shi Jing eagerly asked, "Chao Chao, is there anything you want to do? I'll take you."

Zhu Jinzhao opened the car door, her smile almost blindingly bright: "I haven't decided yet, let's discuss it when we get home."

Shi Jing: "Okay!"

The Porsche drove out of the roadside parking lot, made a U-turn, and merged directly into the main road.

Shi Jing: "Chao Chao, do you want to hear a song?"

Zhu Jinzhao leaned back lazily in her comfortable chair and said, "Sure."

Shi Jing turned on the car's Bluetooth and said to her, "The Bluetooth connection dropped. Please reconnect."

Zhu Jinzhao took out her phone and had just connected via Bluetooth when she saw that Li Weiwan had sent her a message.

Are you busy today?

Zhu Jinzhao replied immediately: I'm not busy, what's wrong, Brother Li?

Brother Li: Congratulations! You can finally vent all the grievances you've been holding back for so long.

Wishing you a wonderful day! (Hehe, awesome!)

"Who are you chatting with?" Shi Jing glanced at her and asked sourly, "Why are you laughing so happily?"

Zhu Jinzhao said frankly, "I was chatting with Brother Li, and he congratulated me on successfully bringing down Su Ying."

"Brother Li? Li Weiwan?" Shi Jing immediately perked up.

Zhu Jinzhao: "That's right, the only Brother Li I know is Li Weiwan."

“…Oh.” Shi Jing silently straightened her back and glanced at Zhu Jinzhao’s phone. “So, what was your answer?”

Zhu Jinzhao cleared her throat and read her answer to him: "'Hehe, awesome!'"

Shi Jing suddenly exploded: "You're not allowed to hang out with him!"

"Why?" Zhu Jinzhao didn't understand.

Shi Jing: "Because..."

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Jinzhao suddenly interrupted him, "Brother Li sent me another message, I'll reply to him first."

"...What?! You want to go back to him first?!" Shi Jing was so anxious that he kept shifting his position in the driver's seat.

"Zhu Jinzhao, I'm your boyfriend, how could you go back to Li Weiwan first?"

Zhu Jinzhao, head down, stared at her phone: "Because Li Weiwan's question was quite important."

With that, she sent her reply.

—What does Brother Li want to ask?

Brother Li: Are you and Shi Jing already together?

I wish you a frank and open reply today: Yes.

...

There was suddenly no response from Li Weiwan.

Zhu Jinzhao waited for a while but didn't receive a reply, so she simply put her phone away.

Shi Jing glanced at her and asked sarcastically, "Oh, finished chatting with your Brother Li?"

"Tsk," Zhu Jinzhao frowned, "What do you mean by 'my Brother Li'? Can't you speak properly?"

"...Okay, I'm sorry." Although he was already incredibly jealous, Shi Jing apologized to Zhu Jinzhao immediately because he couldn't bear to upset her.

"Chao Chao, what did you and Li Weiwan talk about?" he asked softly, pouting with a wronged expression.

Knowing he was jealous, Zhu Jinzhao simply opened her phone and showed him the chat history.

That's all we talked about.

With the red light still a dozen seconds away, Shi Jing quickly grabbed his phone and scrolled through his chat history several times. After finishing, he smiled.

"Hehe, Chaochao is so nice."

Zhu Jinzhao looked at him helplessly: "I just chatted with Brother Li for a few minutes, why are you so jealous?"

"Is it wrong for me to be jealous?" The light turned green, and Shi Jing stepped on the gas and drove off. "I get jealous so easily because I like you so much."

Zhu Jinzhao put her phone back in her bag, her tone slightly coaxing: "I didn't say it was bad, I was just teasing you."

"Hmph..." Shi Jing raised an eyebrow arrogantly.

It's Friday, and even before rush hour, there are already quite a few cars on the road. The Porsche sped along, but it still took almost half an hour to get back home.

Shi Jing took Zhu Jinzhao's bag and leisurely followed behind her into the villa.

"Chao Chao, Qin Ming and Xiao Jiang want to come over to our house to play and celebrate your victory today."

Zhu Jinzhao: "Great! When are they coming?"

Shi Jing looked at her phone: "They're still shopping at the supermarket. They probably won't be here for another hour."

Zhu Jinchao skipped up the steps with joy and, with Sister Wang's help, changed into her own pair of pink slippers.

"Okay then, I'll go take a shower and change my clothes first."

Shi Jing: "I want to wash too, let's do it together."

"..."

"Ah?!!" Zhu Jinzhao was shocked, and even his voice trembled.

"..." Shi Jing was stunned for a few seconds before realizing how ambiguous her words were.

"No, that's not what you meant," he said with an awkward laugh, his face flushed.

Zhu Jinzhao stared at him with a look of horror: "Then what do you mean?"

Shi Jing: "What I mean is, if you want to take a shower, and I want to take a shower, then we'll take showers at the same time in our respective rooms."

“…Oh.” Zhu Jinzhao breathed a sigh of relief, and blushed a little. “Then, let’s go upstairs and shower together.”

Shi Jing nodded: "Eh..."

"Buzzing—"

The phone in her bag suddenly vibrated. Shi Jiang took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Li Weiwan. Her expression immediately turned a little sour.

"Chao Chao, Brother Li replied to your message."
