"Brother Jianian and Sister Zhiwei don't go to the same school, so why did they come back together?" If Ji Shuli hadn't mentioned it, Ye Yingying would have forgotten about Jiang Jianian.
She wasn't very clear about the situation between the two of them. When she was occasionally with Ji Shuli, she would ask about Ye Zhiwei several times. In addition, the crew was very busy. Apart from going to study and taking extra classes, she was filming all the time. Ye Yingying simply didn't have time to find out any information.
Ye Zhiwei only learned that Jiang Jianian had also gone to Yenching University after seeing him in person. Ye Yingying was even further behind; she still didn't know that Jiang Jianian was also at Yenching University.
She had heard Ye Zhiwei mention before that Jiang Jianian seemed to be going to Ji Shuli's school, and she was still thinking that this was not something Jiang Jianian would do. Maybe Jiang Jianian was held back by something.
Regardless, although Ye Yingying felt it wasn't Jiang Jianian's style, Ye Zhiwei spoke with such certainty when she mentioned it that Ye Yingying believed her.
She knew that Jiang Jianian had a strong sense of pride, and now that he had been selected by the research institute and was earning a considerable income, he had already obtained many opportunities that others could not, and there was no need for him to continue to live under someone else's roof.
So, is it because he's too competitive and has too much pride that he's ready to give up?
Ye Yingying was naturally happy. She didn't care about these things at all, nor did she feel guilty about living under someone else's roof.
Even though she received a considerable sum of money for this film, she didn't plan to move out. She wanted to stay at the Ye family home with Ye Zhiwei and then go to the university where Ye Zhiwei was after the art exam.
The thought that there might be no interference from Jiang Jianian throughout the entire process made Ye Yingying feel very happy.
However, she quickly noticed a subtle change in Ye Zhiwei's emotions when she asked about Ji Shuli.
She felt an instinctive anger, but quickly recalled how Jiang Jianian had been pampering her with good food and drink for a week. Although the big boss said he would take money from her, he didn't seem to have actually done anything.
By attributing the reward demanded by the big shot to her highly constructive emotional counseling, Ye Zhiwei's anger almost completely dissipated.
Ye Zhiwei: Miscalculation. The boss's cooking is just too delicious. She has been completely won over by the food for a week, and she doesn't even have the anger to confront her cousin anymore.
Miss Ye coughed and explained to the bewildered Green Tea Sister, "At the time, Jiang Jianian said that my cousin's school was very good, and I thought he was interested in the medical school at my cousin's university. I didn't expect that I was mistaken. Jiang Jianian was also interested in the medical program at Peking University."
Ye Yingying bit her lip. Although she was a little disappointed, she thought about it and realized that it made sense. She whispered, "It's clearly because of you."
Her voice was too soft and she spoke too quickly, so Ye Zhiwei didn't hear her clearly and asked Ye Yingying, "Yingying, what did you say?"
"It's nothing," Ye Yingying said softly. "I just didn't expect that Brother Jianian would go to the same university as my sister."
Ye Zhiwei snorted coldly, "Cousin, did you already know about this? You didn't even tell me. If I hadn't seen Jiang Jianian, I wouldn't have known he went to Yanda University too!"
Judging from Ye Zhiwei's tone, Ji Shuli knew that his little cousin wasn't angry at all.
As expected, my little cousin's greatest talent is getting the benefit and then acting innocent.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you look so healthy, rosy and glowing. You must have been having a great time lately. But with your attitude, tone, and demeanor, anyone who didn't know better would think that living with Jiang Jianian was making you miserable." Ji Shuli chuckled. "If you really feel wronged, do you want your cousin to help you get justice?"
Ye Zhiwei could not possibly allow Ji Shuli to cause trouble for Jiang Jianian; who knows if the past, which involved such a large-scale operation, could ever be reversed.
Moreover, when Ji Shuli said that she had been wronged, Ye Zhiwei felt a little guilty, and her gaze slowly shifted away because of her guilt.
Instead, Ye Yingying, who was next to Ye Zhiwei, was alarmed. She was a little surprised, but she still restrained her high emotions and asked Ye Zhiwei in a low voice, "Sister Zhiwei and Brother Jianian live together?"
Seeing Ye Zhiwei's reaction, Ji Shuli smiled and said, "I haven't found any villas for sale nearby yet. Jiang Jianian happens to have one. It's a big villa with many rooms. Let my little cousin stay there temporarily. Look how supple your face is. Isn't it even more delicate and radiant than after the college entrance exam? How did Xiao Jiang treat you to such good food and drinks? He's made you look so radiant."
"Nonsense! I just... I was just too hungry during military training, and I ate a bit too much as soon as it ended," Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but retort.
Ji Shuli chuckled and pointed at Ye Zhiwei, saying to Ye Yingying, "Your sister Ye is so picky. If the food doesn't suit her taste, she'll only eat a few bites. She has such a small appetite. The kitchen goes to great lengths to record her preferences in order to get her to eat more. They note down what she touched her chopsticks more than usual and what she didn't eat much of, and it will never appear on the table again next time."
Jiang Jianian could only memorize such a thick book of Ye Zhiwei's dietary preferences.
Ye Yingying wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say. After a while, she said, "But Sister Zhiwei is so beautiful. What if Brother Jianian gets any ideas?"
Ji Shuli frowned, her tone suddenly changing, "That little brat dares to do that!"
Having already escaped death several times and completely unaware of the situation, Ye Zhiwei looked at Ye Yingying in astonishment: "What kind of lewd words are these, you green tea sister?"
Seeing that Ji Shuli was already getting emotional, Ye Zhiwei immediately reassured her, "Really, no. Jiang Jianian always looks very resistant whenever he sees me. He'll pull his hand back and leave as soon as I touch him. He's so aloof, so incredibly aloof. How could he possibly be interested in me!"
Ji Shuli had a vague feeling that Jiang Jianian probably wouldn't really do anything to Ye Zhiwei. After all, he had probably developed feelings for Ye Zhiwei not long after he came to the Ye family, but he had hidden them very well and was extremely restrained. He thought that this little brat liked his little cousin, and his little cousin had a fight with her roommate and didn't want to stay at the dormitory. It would be good for him to be there to protect his little cousin.
Considering some of the burglary cases that Jiang Jianian had previously forwarded, he was able to mitigate these risks to some extent.
The case forwarded by Jiang Jianian —
Jiang Jianian even completely relinquished his research and development patents for the villa next to Yenching University.
Not only that, he was also a suitor who harbored desires for his younger cousin and wanted to make a move on her.
Ji Shuli finally realized that he had somehow come to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with the two of them living together, since Jiang Jianian was much safer than his little cousin living alone.
He almost forgot that no matter how much Jiang Jianian restrained himself, he was still a man. How safe could it be to be with a young, vigorous man who had just come of age?
"Cousin, what kind of look is that? I've already told you that there's nothing between Jiang Jianian and me, and he hasn't had any romantic feelings for me. I went back to my room after dinner, and I locked the door!" Ye Zhiwei immediately explained.
Judging from Ji Shuli's expression, if he doesn't explain soon, he'll probably start imagining some dramatic scenarios!
"Going back to the dorm after dinner?"
“Yes!” Ye Zhiwei snorted. “Jiang Jianian should go back to his room too. We all went back to our rooms to rest after dinner. I don’t know if Jiang Jianian locked his door or not, but I locked mine.”
