The school beauty's four boyfriends 25
Things took a strange turn; Qi An'an was kept by Elder Yan's side and suddenly became the focus of the entire party.
But as the protagonist, she seemed completely unaware of the various gazes directed at her.
I don't know whether to say she's too naive and insensitive, or too good at disguising herself.
After that, Xu Zhi brought Wang Ruoyun over to say hello.
Old Master Yan smiled and praised Qi An'an, saying he wanted to have a chat with the young woman and clearly asked her to stay.
Xu Zhi was naturally delighted and left with a smile.
Yan Xingcun appeared relaxed, but his body was actually tense.
Qi An'an accidentally bumped into his arm, looked up at his face, and whispered to him, "Are you nervous?"
Wang Ruoyun has good taste. The black dress she chose for her tonight concealed her childishness and amplified her allure, making her look very different from when she wears her school uniform.
Yan Xingcun was slightly distracted and didn't hear what she was saying clearly.
He lowered his head and leaned closer to hear, "What did you say?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange perfume scent wafted over.
It wasn't any perfume he was familiar with.
It smells good.
“I said, are you very nervous? Look at your hand…” Qi An’an pointed to the back of his hand this time.
Because I gripped it so tightly, the veins on the back of my hand were clearly bulging.
The air conditioning in the party was very strong, and her warm breath made Yan Xingcun feel his ears burning.
"Yeah, a little." He had already learned to be honest with her.
He didn't want anyone to see his nervousness, except for her.
He had always wanted her to appear openly and honestly by his side, and now that moment seemed to have arrived ahead of schedule. Regardless of the outcome, he only hoped to protect her.
He took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
"Wear it, it's cold in the venue."
Qi An'an straightened her collar and obediently said, "Okay, thank you."
She clearly noticed that the gazes falling on her had become more intriguing, as if they wanted to dissect and study her carefully.
She learned about the Yan family again. The Yan family was large. Yan Xingcun had three uncles and one unmarried aunt, three younger brothers and two younger sisters, and more than ten cousins in total.
She knew Old Master Yan's personality well. Although he disliked Lin Lan's madness, among his many grandchildren, he still valued Yan Xingcun, his eldest grandson, the most.
His will, which was previously exposed by the media, is genuine; he wanted to groom Yan Xingcun as his successor.
After this incident was exposed, Yan Xingcun became the target of public criticism. Old Master Yan simply stopped pretending and summoned him back to the Yan family. Now he even swaggeres around and keeps him by his side.
Tonight's party is a celebration of Mr. Yan's golden wedding anniversary, hosted by his longtime friends. Those who were able to get tickets are all of high status.
Looking at the gentlemen and ladies scattered around Old Man Yan, Qi An'an leaned close to Yan Xingcun's ear and said, "You and your brother are nothing alike. You are the most handsome."
"Are you exaggerating or being sarcastic?" Yan Xingcun simply took her hand and squeezed it tightly in his palm.
"Of course it's a compliment." Qi An'an let him hold her hand and moved closer to his side.
Yan Xingcun simply looked at her and smiled, then quietly tightened his grip on her hand.
Standing together like this, anyone could tell at a glance that they were a couple deeply in love.
They're all adults, there's nothing wrong with dating, but that's Yan Xingcun, the heir favored by Elder Yan!
He introduced the girl directly to Mr. Yan, and not only did he not encounter any objections, but Mr. Yan seemed to like the girl very much!
Who exactly is she?
"She's from the Xu family. I heard she was a burden, but I never expected... she'd be such a beauty."
"Oh? So that's how it is. Mr. Xu actually married a divorced woman?"
"Hehe, you don't understand, do you? I would be happy to do it too."
"Is Xu Zhi up to something?"
A cool voice interrupted, ending the discussion. After all, with so many people around and everyone having their own agendas, no one could guarantee that these words wouldn't reach the ears of the parties involved and create unnecessary enmity.
In another corner, a crisp clang rang out as Ji Yu's wine glass fell onto the table and shattered.
He stared at the two figures standing side by side, and a long-suppressed emotion spread wildly, invading his mind.
The father was startled by the commotion and rushed over to see what was happening.
"Ayu, what's wrong?"
"She's bleeding!"
The waiter rushed over, "Sir, are you alright? Does your wound need treatment?"
Ji Yu frowned and said coldly, "I'm fine."
A red cut on the back of his hand was oozing blood, but he seemed to feel no pain. He turned around, walked to the side, picked up a glass of wine, and poured it into his mouth.
Following his gaze, Mr. Ji's worried expression turned cold. "Are you still thinking about her?"
As parents, they are well aware of what their children do outside and who they associate with.
Moreover, some of these things had already spread within the school.
His arrogant and domineering son got a girlfriend at school, but was cheated on and dumped.
Even after the breakup, the son was still unwilling to accept it and kept running around the girl. He was both domineering and humble.
He had considered disciplining and limiting his son's behavior, but seeing his grades improve, he gave up.
The last time, the son used his own company to launch a propaganda war against Yan Xingcun, and the relationship between the Ji family and the Yan family has become delicate ever since.
He hoped his son would be more rational and not do such things again.
However, judging from the current situation, Ji Yu may become even more reckless.
Ji's father's concerns were understandable.
“Don’t meddle in my business,” Ji Yu replied.
"If I don't care about you, who will? Will Qi An'an care about you?"
These words provoked Ji Yu, who slammed down his wine glass and turned to leave.
Whether it was due to the alcohol or not, his mind was in a mess, which also suppressed the raging anger within him.
There was a strange force in this world binding him, and he resented this invisible oppression.
But he was unable to break through.
This thought raced through Ji Yu's mind, and he felt an increasingly intense malice surging in from all directions, as if it wanted to tear him apart.
Ji Yu walked faster and faster, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Qi An'an's gaze followed the departing figure, while Xiao Hei asked nervously from the side, "An'an, did you feel it too?"
The fluctuation emanating from Ji Yu reappeared once again.
Qi An'an frowned slightly. "Mm."
Is it possible that Ji Yu is an employee of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, and without the system's assistance, he can only be suppressed within the data body and become Ji Yu?
He has no memory of the quick transmigration bureau; he acts based on the persona set by the data entity.
Thinking about it this way, Qi An'an felt it made perfect sense.
"This world has a bug," Qi An'an thought to herself.
Unable to refute the argument, Xiao Hei silently collected the data and continued uploading it.
"What's wrong?" Yan Xingcun suddenly asked.
He also recognized Ji Yu and looked at Qi An'an, asking, "Want to go say hello?"
Qi An'an could easily detect the sourness in his voice, and smiled, "It's not that it's impossible, but I'm afraid you'll mind."
"How could that be?" Yan Xingcun even raised his chin in a gesture of approval. "Go ahead."
Qi An'an raised an eyebrow and actually started to leave.
Yan Xingcun: "..."
But he quickly looked away.
Old Yan was chatting with an old friend, but then suddenly glanced at him and said casually, "You're that trusting?"
Yan Xingcun nodded. "Mm."
Upon hearing this, Old Man Yan couldn't help but laugh a few times, saying, "Be careful your first love doesn't get stolen away."
Yan Xingcun: "..."
The old man next to him stroked his beard and said, "Oh, so you're still thinking about how I stole your first love."
Yan Xingcun seemed surprised and asked, "Does Grandma know about this?"
Old Man Yan broke through the Great Defense: "..."
The old man next to him couldn't help but slap his thigh and laugh.
It attracted a great deal of attention.
Everyone was puzzled when they saw Old Man Yan glaring at Yan Xingcun with a cold face.
Everything was fine just now?
Why did Old Man Yan lose his temper?
Could it be that because the girl was there, Old Master Yan couldn't lash out, and now that she's gone, he's starting to reprimand Yan Xingcun?
Qi An'an walked quickly, and few people noticed the direction she left in.
Following Xiao Hei's tip, she found Ji Yu in the hotel's rooftop garden.
Ji Yu leaned against a pillar in the corridor, his head slightly lowered, watching the roses on the ground swaying in the wind.
Sensing someone approaching, he suddenly looked up, his gaze calm and dark, like that of a hell where the sun never shines.
But in an instant, he hid himself perfectly, and the torch lit up and burned fiercely.
"An'an." His Adam's apple bobbed as he called out that name.
It spread through the night, like the murmur of a lover, hoarse and moving.
It was as if he had uttered this name a thousand times, yet each time it stirred his heart.
Qi An'an clearly saw the change in his eyes, and for some reason, her heart skipped a beat.
She walked toward him, her skirt swaying as it swept across the polished floor, finally stopping in front of him.
"Are you injured?" She looked at his still bleeding hand.
Ji Yu raised his hand, and the cut on the back of his hand from the glass was still bleeding, making his hand covered in blood, which looked rather shocking.
He nodded. "Yes."
Qi An'an frowned. "Why isn't it bandaged?"
Ji Yu stepped forward again, his head drooping. He didn't answer her, but instead asked, "An'an, can you hug me?"
His voice was gentle, but at this moment, he gave Qi An'an the feeling of a lurking wild beast, exuding a dangerous aura.
Before Qi An'an could refuse, Ji Yu had already leaned over and embraced her.
His arms wrapped around her, like a cold snake giving its prey no chance to escape.
Qi An'an couldn't break free; she felt like her waist was about to be broken by his strangulation, and she was having trouble breathing.
"An'an, can't you choose me?" He completely ignored how the person in his arms was refusing, his voice hoarse.
"cannot."
The overly brief and resolute answer stung Ji Yu's heart, and his expression stiffened.
He used a little force to turn her over so that she was facing him.
He hunched over, his large hands gripping her shoulders tightly, looking her in the eye, his dark eyes filled with an unusual possessiveness. "An'an, you are destined to be mine."
He firmly believed this.
Qi An'an's shoulder hurt a little from being gripped, but she stopped struggling. She calmly asked, "Are you trying to force me?"
"He's not even a human being, what right does he have to have you? An'an, I'm the one who's always been there for you. We've spent so much time together, why—"
Ji Yu's head was throbbing with pain, and his voice abruptly stopped.
Qi An'an was completely confused.
"Aaaaaah, I'm going to kill him! How dare he treat you like this!"
The little black cat puffed up its fur and thrashed about, and it actually worked!
Ji Yu felt a sharp pain in his brain, his knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees.
Qi An'an, now free, looked down at the boy who was panting heavily with his head in his hands, her expression serious.
Cold sweat beaded on Ji Yu's forehead. Without looking up at her, he said in a hoarse voice, "Go back, An'an. Forget what I said."
He didn't even know what he was saying.
Qi An'an didn't intend to provoke him any further, and simply said, "Go and treat your wound quickly."
She then lifted her skirt and left.
——
Wang Ruoyun wasn't feeling well, so she asked Qi An'an to accompany her to leave first.
Back in the car, her apparent weakness vanished, and she looked at Qi An'an with a very complicated expression.
Qi An'an was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't ask anything.
After washing up, Qi An'an lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Just then, Yan Xingcun sent her a message asking if she was asleep.
She jumped up with a start and immediately called him back via video call.
Yan Xingcun answered almost instantly, but the camera was dim and messy, making it look like he was walking.
Qi An'an didn't pay attention and spoke in a listless voice, "I had insomnia. Let me check your abs."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xingcun's expression clearly froze for a moment. He subconsciously glanced to the side, and then Qi An'an saw the screen go black.
Qi An'an: "Hey? What's wrong?"
