Chapter 37 Being a bitch

Qi Jinzhou took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "Ningning, I'll ask my secretary to take you home. It's not convenient for you to stay here."

"Brother-in-law, you are beginning to dislike me, right?"

"It's not disgust."

"What is that?"

"You are Yunyun's sister. If she knew you were living here, she would be unhappy."

Jiang Ning chuckled, but his eyes were cold, "Brother-in-law is really affectionate to me."

Qi Jinzhou frowned slightly and said nothing.

"All the care my brother-in-law showed me before was fake, right?"

Qi Jinzhou's face darkened. "I care about you only because you are Yunyun's sister. That's all."

Jiang Ning didn't believe it, "You're talking nonsense! I don't believe you don't have anything else for me..."

She walked towards him and took one of his hands in hers.

Her warm palm touched the back of his hand, and in an instant, Qi Jinzhou's heart seemed to be pierced by an arrow. He stood up suddenly, his face ashen, "Ningning, don't belittle yourself."

Jiang Ning was stunned. Self-deprecating?

She liked him, when did it become self-deprecating?

It turned out that her love for him was so shameful in his eyes.

Jiang Ning's heart sank inch by inch. Unwilling to give up, she asked again, "Brother-in-law, I'll leave after you ask. You really only treat me as your younger sister, right? Does any closeness I show to you seem like I'm degrading myself?"

"yes."

Jiang Ning's eyes turned dejected. "Okay, I get it. I'm sorry. It was me... I didn't know the difference between high and low and disturbed my brother-in-law."

Jiang Ning was driven away and encountered heavy rain on the way back. She walked into the rain alone without hesitation.

Qi Jinzhou looked through the window and saw her figure disappear in the dense rain.

A few days later, Qi Jinzhou heard from Jiang Yunyun that Jiang Ning came home soaked and caught a cold on the weekend. In addition, Jiang Yunshan scolded her and punished her by making her kneel in wet clothes for a whole night.

After that, he heard that Jiang Ning had a fever and a cold and was sick for half a month before he recovered.

…

In the following month, everything returned to normal. Qi Jinzhou still came to pick up Jiang Yunyun every day as usual, and they took walks and ate together.

I no longer received any ambiguous messages on my phone.

That person never came to harass him again.

Qi Jinzhou felt that he should be happy about everything going on right now.

This is exactly the life he wants.

Jiang Yunyun took his arm and gave him a ticket. "Jinzhou, our school's freshman welcome party will be held tomorrow. I'll be performing the dance routine I've been rehearsing. You must come."

Qi Jinzhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come."

That night, Qi Jinzhou sat in the C position in the first row. As the chairman of the school's board of directors, he naturally sat in the best seat and had the clearest view.

The secretary handed him a program with a performance of the drama "Romeo and Juliet". Since Qi Jinzhou had seen this tragedy by Shakespeare, he glanced at the actors at the back. The leading actor column read: Jiang Ning, secretary of the freshman student union of the School of Arts, and Zhou Qi, president of the sophomore student union of the School of Arts.

Qi Jinzhou's gaze paused for a moment, and he quickly looked away. Jiang Yunyun's program was the third one. She danced beautifully and gracefully, and it was obvious that she had rehearsed it carefully.

After the dance, Jiang Yunyun was covered in sweat, and he went backstage to pick her up with flowers.

He helped her wipe the sweat off her face. Jiang Yunyun changed her clothes and felt a little cold, so Qi Jinzhou put his coat on her and she sat next to him.

Jiang Yunyun asked him if he danced well, Qi Jinzhou smiled faintly and said, "Very good."

"Really? Then why do I think you seem a little absent-minded?"

Jiang Yunyun said this deliberately in a coquettish tone.

Just as Qi Jinzhou was about to say something, the lights in the venue went dark again, everyone fell silent, and the next show began.

Qi Jinzhou kept counting the order of the programs in his mind, the end and beginning of one program after another. Almost an hour later, the drama program of "Romeo and Juliet" began.

The show begins with Zhou Qi dressed as a prince from the Yin Kingdom in the late 16th century, standing in a corner of the stage and asking the question of the century, "To be or not to be, that is the question."

The person Qi Jinzhou had been secretly waiting for appeared under the white spotlight on the stage, with tens of thousands of people's eyes focused on her.

She was wearing a princess's puffy skirt, with delicate makeup and bright red lips, and she was incredibly beautiful.

Only a month had passed, and he almost didn't recognize Jiang Ning.

Under the spotlight, her skin was whiter than snow, almost transparent.

Her eyes were confused and addictive.

He had read the script of "Romeo and Juliet" and was very familiar with the plot. Sure enough, it played out the part where Romeo pursued Juliet, and then Juliet fell hopelessly in love with Romeo. The two had a secret meeting and kissed under the bright moonlight.

Zhou Qi was already quite handsome, and when everyone saw them actually kissing, all the students were excited.

Jiang Yunyun, who was standing next to him, was also stunned. She was so excited that she whispered gossip to Qi Jinzhou, "I heard from the teachers at the academy that Zhou Qi is still pursuing Ning Ning."

The darkness in the audience concealed Qi Jinzhou's increasingly gloomy expression.

The two kissed passionately, Zhou Qi hugged Jiang Ning's slender waist tightly, his heart beating faster.

Although he knew it was just a show, he didn't dare to kiss her hard. He just brushed her lips like a dragonfly skimming the water, which made him very nervous.

Jiang Ning followed the movements they had rehearsed beforehand and snuggled up in his arms shyly.

Everyone stared intently. The handsome men and beautiful women were naturally pleasing to the eyes, and everyone wanted to take a few more glances. Jiang Yunyun tilted her head and said, "Ningning looks pretty good in this outfit."

Jiang Yunyun suddenly discovered that Qi Jinzhou, who was beside her, had disappeared.

He was outside in the empty corridor, about to smoke a cigarette.

In fact, Qi Jinzhou quit smoking a long time ago.

He held a cigarette between his fingers, hesitated for a moment, and then threw it into the trash can.

I looked at the time and it was exactly 9:30 in the evening.

The weather was hot and humid, and there were thick dark clouds in the sky. He felt very uncomfortable and depressed. It looked like it would rain heavily soon.

Qi Jinzhou didn't know how long he had been standing there. When he finally felt less suffocated, he happened to run into "Juliet" who had just finished her performance. No, it should be said that - Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was also surprised to run into him.

Qi Jinzhou stood here, as tall and handsome as ever. When his deep and fascinating eyes looked at her, her heart still beat faster.

She hadn't seen Qi Jinzhou for a month. She deliberately avoided Jiang Yunyun every time she went home, just to avoid someone.

Jiang Ning lifted her heavy skirt, pretended not to see the person opposite her, and hurried towards the locker room.

The moment they passed by, Qi Jinzhou smelled the unique girlish scent on her and said coldly, "Now that you see me, you don't even say hello, right?"

Jiang Ning frowned and stopped walking, but she didn't look up at him. Instead, she stared at the ground, "Brother-in-law. Long time no see."

Qi Jinzhou chuckled and did not comment on her words "Long time no see".

He thought she must be secretly blaming him in her heart, wondering why he was so cruel to drive her away that day, causing her to be sick for half a month.

Jiang Ning already understood Qi Jinzhou's attitude towards her. She thought that since he had already rejected her like this, if she continued to pester him, it would only make him look down on her even more.

He himself said that her love for him would only make her humiliate herself further.

Jiang Ning lifted her skirt and walked forward, but he suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "If you are blaming me in your heart, I will give you the opportunity to scold me."
