(Main story concluded) Shi Nianzhi was brought back from a small mountain village by Lu Jiunian when he was 19.
That man said, "From now on, I will be your husband." Lu Jiunian treate...
Chapter 95 I Want You to Love Me
He acts like this in front of him; I wonder what he's like in private.
Such an ungrateful wretch doesn't deserve his kindness at all.
"come over!"
Lu Jiunian withdrew his gaze, and after a while, as if unable to suppress his anger, he coldly called out to Shi Nianzhi.
"I'm used to it, it's okay."
Shi Nianzhi touched his face, which was burning from being hit. He used the back of his hand to cool it down. He was talking to Su Hengyi and didn't notice Lu Jiunian calling him.
Lu Jiunian ignored the still-speaking headmaster, walked over to Shi Nianzhi, and grabbed Shi Nianzhi's arm tightly.
"Didn't you hear me calling you?!"
The stern voice carried a reprimanding tone.
Shi Nianzhi felt a slight pain from being pinched, and he frowned slightly in displeasure as he looked at Lu Jiunian, "What's wrong?"
"What kind of attitude is that? Don't you know you've done something wrong?"
What did I do wrong?
"If you hadn't done something wrong, would I be here? Do you think I have nothing better to do all day?!"
"......"
Shi Nianzhi pursed her lips fiercely, remaining silent.
He let Lu Jiunian pull him away and stand in front of the head of the teaching department.
Gu Yuanyuan smugly approached Su Hengyi and whispered, "You know my uncle, right? Did you see Lu Jiunian say a single harsh word when my uncle was with him? He didn't even dare to raise his voice. A stand-in is always just a stand-in. No matter how high you're praised, you'll eventually fall."
Su Heng turned to look at Gu Yuanyuan, because Gu Yuanyuan was speaking close to him, and the two of them were temporarily quite close.
Unable to contain his emotions, Gu Yuanyuan leaned forward to kiss Su Hengyi before anyone noticed.
"Smack—"
The sound of the slap shocked everyone, and Gu Yuanyuan's head was knocked to the side.
He gritted his teeth and sneered, then rubbed his lips with his thumb. He looked up and stared at Su Hengyi, who was about to attack, with a fierce gaze.
He would have pounced on anyone else and fought back, but since it was Su Hengyi, he held back.
The head of student affairs was so angry that his blood rushed to his head. "Su Hengyi! Gu Yuanyuan's parents are still here, what are you doing?!"
Despite the criticism, the head of the teaching department ultimately protected the top student in the grade.
He smiled apologetically and said to Li Yuan, "He's not usually like this. Please don't be angry. I'll make him apologize. No matter what the misunderstanding is, hitting someone is never right."
The dean of students said in a stern voice, "Su Hengyi, apologize!"
Su Heng kept his eyes fixed on the head of the teaching department. "Did Gu Yuanyuan apologize?"
"you----"
The head of the teaching department was taken aback. When Gu Yuanyuan hit Nianzhi earlier, he had indeed not apologized.
Li Yuan quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing much."
Gu Yuanyuan looked at Su Hengyi, who smiled sarcastically, "Didn't you realize? He's lecturing me. Apologize, huh? I will."
Gu Yuanyuan walked over to Shi Nianzhi, patted her shoulders with both hands, smiled, and said insincerely, "I'm sorry!"
After saying that, he returned to Su Hengyi, his face stern, and said, "Apologize to me."
He has a temper too.
Su Hengyi remained motionless, indifferent and aloof. "I don't want to."
"I!!"
Gu Yuanyuan was furious at Su Hengyi's outrageous behavior. He pointed at himself, then angrily lowered his hand, "Don't think I won't do anything to you!"
Li Yuan tugged at Gu Yuanyuan, "Alright."
Gu Yuanyuan was furious, but Su Hengyi looked at the dean of students and said, "I'm going back to class. You can talk to him about it."
He gestured with his chin to the approaching butler, then turned and left.
The head of student affairs tried to stop him, but the old butler smiled and grabbed his arm. "Talk to me, I'll go back and teach him a lesson. That way, he won't be delayed from attending class. Is that alright?"
Gu Yuanyuan broke free from Li Yuan's hand and chased after her.
"Su Hengyi, tell me, where did I offend you? No matter how much you side with Shi Nianzhi, you can't deny what I said."
"Su Hengyi, you stop right there!"
"What do you like about Mu Guangcheng? When did your taste become so bad? Shi Nianzhi and Mu Guangcheng are both terrible people. You should hang out with someone as outstanding as me. I have a good family background, I'm a good person, and if I work hard, I can be just as good as you."
Why don't you like me?
"Speak up! Are you mute?!"
Gu Yuanyuan chased Su Hengyi all the way to the seventh-floor corridor, where he caught up and grabbed him.
Mu Guangcheng was punished by standing at the door of Class 7 classroom, stretching his legs and lazily sunbathing.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and went in that direction.
Su Heng reached out and pressed Gu Yuanyuan's shoulder against the wall. He looked down at Gu Yuanyuan with cold eyes.
"Love is a feeling, and I don't have that for you."
Gu Yuanyuan wasn't angry. "It's okay if you don't have feelings for me. We can cultivate them."
"I know what I want."
"You haven't given me a chance, how do you know I'm not what you want? Try me, you'll definitely fall in love with me! Or are you just too scared?"
Even though Gu Yuanyuan had been slapped a second ago, she still wanted to look up and kiss the aloof young man in front of her the next second.
Su Heng pressed down on Gu Yuanyuan's chin, pushing the back of Gu Yuanyuan's head backward and pressing it against the wall.
He gave him one last cold look and left.
Gu Yuanyuan leaned against the wall and didn't chase after him. She just said, "You'll know that I'm a million times better than Mu Guangcheng. No matter who you like now, you're destined to marry me in the future. You'll be my man."
After speaking, Gu Yuanyuan looked at Mu Guangcheng across the distance of two classes, his face full of unrestrained arrogance and provocation.
Mu Guangcheng clenched his fist slightly.
He couldn't hear what they were saying very clearly from such a distance, but the distance and actions between Su Hengyi and Gu Yuanyuan just now were somewhat ambiguous.
Su Hengyi walked back.
He stood in front of Mu Guangcheng and asked, "You fought with Gu Yuanyuan, are you jealous?"
Mu Guangcheng put his hands into the pockets of his school uniform shirt and tilted his head, "Protect my little brother."
"I heard you say watch your mouth. Gu Yuanyuan's filthy words were directed at me."
"You misheard me. I said you are not allowed to bully Shi Nianzhi."
"Did I mishear that much?"
Su Heng suddenly looked up, and Mu Guangcheng subconsciously met his gaze, feeling guilty. "How would I know you? Anyway, I didn't say anything."
The atmosphere fell silent, and Mu Guangcheng added, "I think you quite liked those filthy things Gu Yuanyuan said to you."
"Don't like it?"
"What does this have to do with me?"
Su Hengyi leaned against Mu Guangcheng and said in a calm tone, "Wang Sui has caused me trouble several times in private regarding Wu Yi's matter, and I've dealt with it all. At the basketball court, Liao Shao was Gu Yuanyuan's man and wanted to cause you trouble, and I stopped him for you, even though you humiliated him in public."
Mu Guangcheng stared at Su Hengyi in shock.
Su Hengyi smiled faintly and said calmly, "It's all true."
He turned to the side, leaned his arm against the wall, looked at Mu Guangcheng, and said, "You should repay your kindness."
"I......"
"I hate that Gu Yuanyuan is so annoying to me, like a piece of chewing gum."
"......"
Mu Guangcheng was still reeling from the shock of the incident when he suddenly heard these words, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Stop trying to trick me, you son of a bitch."
"It's fake. If you're not interested in me, what are you afraid of? Or are you just saying one thing but meaning another, saying no but actually liking me a lot?"
"impossible!"
"Then let's say that."
Su Hengyi didn't give Mu Guangcheng another chance to speak and walked into the classroom.
Mu Guangcheng suddenly realized what was happening and grabbed his arm.
Su Hengyi smiled and waved Mu Guangcheng's hand away, "Stop fooling around, I have to go to class."
The whole class gasped. Were they seeing things? The number one guy was smiling?!
Lu Jiunian dragged Shi Nianzhi out of the dean's office and pulled him toward the rooftop.
Shi Nianzhi was surprised, "How did you know where the rooftop was?"
Lu Jiunian studied here before, so he must be familiar with this place.
But he didn't answer Shi Nianzhi; he simply lifted her upstairs and closed the door.
The students are all in class right now, so there's really no one here.
Lu Jiunian leaned against the closed door, lit a cigarette, and stared coldly at Shi Nianzhi. "How long have you been with Su Hengyi?"
"What?"
Do you even know who your man is?
Lu Jiunian reached out and pulled Shi Nianzhi into his arms, tightly holding his soft waist.
Shi Nianzhi practically lunged forward and crashed into Lu Jiunian's arms. The man's muscles were as hard as bricks, and the impact made Shi Nianzhi's nose ache, and she even managed to shed some tears.
He looked up at Lu Jiunian's somewhat gloomy handsome face. "I know."
The man reached out and pinched his chin. He looked at the face in his arms, the blue and white school uniform, and suddenly his eyes were stung.
Shi Nian stared intently at Lu Jiunian, "Am I pressing down on you? You seem very..."
Lu Jiunian's expression hardened. "Who is your man?"
"you."
"Call me by my name."
Shi Nianzhi was a little shy and embarrassed. He blinked, his eyelashes fluttering twice, and said softly and gently, "Lu Jiunian."
The man lowered his head, and a kiss was about to fall.
Shi Nianzhi leaned back, slightly dodging the kiss, but not completely avoiding it.
He cupped Lu Jiunian's face in his hands, "Gu Yuanyuan said he's about to wake up, is that true?"
"That's not true."
Do you want him to wake up?
"......"
"I'm talking nonsense again. You definitely want that. If he wakes up, will you leave me?"
Lu Jiunian tightened his grip on Shi Nian's chin. "If I don't want you, I'll make you go back to herding cattle and feeding pigs. Isn't that the life you want most?"
Shi Nianzhi lowered her eyes, "It's not like that anymore."
"Um?"
Shi Nianzhi put his hand on Lu Jiunian's neck, and he looked up to meet the man's deep, unfathomable eyes, which seemed to be thinking something.
He tiptoed slightly, tilted his head slightly, and moved closer to Lu Jiunian.
So sweet and gentle, she said, "I want to stay by your side now. I want you to love me as much as I love you. If I'm willing to work hard to become the kind of excellent person you want to see, could you please not leave me?"
