Half-believing, half-doubting, Xi Ran rolled out of bed, put on her slippers, and ran outside.
Before long, she heard the sound of the door opening, and Xi Ran became even more excited, running forward.
When the door opened, Xi Ran rushed over, hugged Chu Jiangyi, and cried while leaning on his shoulder.
Chu Jiang let her vent her emotions, and when she cried herself out, he finally realized something was wrong.
"You came back in your pajamas... Didn't anyone think you were a pervert?"
Chu Jiang chuckled. "How could I dare to run around in my pajamas? I've been back for several hours, and it's getting late. I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I'm staying across the street."
Chu Jiang helplessly pointed to the house across the street and carried Xi Ran to sit on the sofa.
Xi Ran nodded in sudden realization, "You're silly too. How could I possibly sleep after something so serious happened? Instead of coming back, you went to sleep across the street. How bizarre."
Chu Jiang sighed helplessly. If he had known Xi Ran was in so much pain, he would have just taken his luggage and gone home. Why did he have to make do with the night at the place next door?
"Forget about that. Leave it all to me. You can rest at home for a few days. It's rare for you to take a few days off. When you go back to school, not many people will remember you."
Ci Ran shook her head with a sob in her voice, "It's impossible! I was treated differently at school today. Whether my classmates knew me or not, they all gave me unfriendly looks."
"Now I'm a celebrity in the whole school. All the students know me. Whenever they see me, they point at me and whisper about me. Although I don't hear what they say, it's a really unpleasant feeling."
“And those classmates who hate evil as if it were their enemy came up to me and started cursing and criticizing me. Why was I so cruel to a child who was only a few years old? After all, we share the same blood. Why couldn't I tolerate him? I sent my half-brother to an orphanage.”
"They even called me heartless, saying it was the adults' fault, not the children's. Sending such a small child to an orphanage, and they cursed me to be struck by lightning, sob... They don't know the truth, why do they say such things to me? It's so too much... sob..."
Seeing his girlfriend so upset, Chu Jiang quickly comforted her, patting her head. "I know, I know my girlfriend has been wronged, so I rushed back overnight to comfort her."
"Leave the rest to me. You just need to stay home and relax. Once things are settled, you can go back to school. Things have escalated so much that I won't feel comfortable letting you go back to school until it's all resolved. I'm afraid those students might hurt you! Tomorrow is Saturday, so I'll have Chu Jiangning come over to go shopping with you. I'll make time to settle everything..."
Xi Ran nodded; this was the only thing they could do now…
She really didn't want to go back to school and face the cold words and harsh words from her classmates; it's something most people couldn't bear...
"Aren't you going to film short dramas anymore?"
"Not for now. The filming is finished, and I sped up the shooting schedule just so I could come back and be with you."
Xi Ran was deeply moved and hugged Chu Jiangyi tightly, refusing to let go.
Chu Jiang was at a loss, so he let his girlfriend hug him and whispered in her ear, "Since you can't sleep and are still suffering from insomnia, why don't we do something meaningful that will help you sleep and also distract you?"
Xi Ran shook her head and refused, "I'm already like this, and you still want to bully me? Don't you have any conscience?"
Chu Jiang also objected, pinching Xi Ran's cheek. "How am I heartless? I worked overtime to film the rest of the scenes so I could come back to see you sooner. The director had a problem with me, but we've been working together for a long time, so he made an exception and let me film the rest of the scenes so I could come back to be with my girlfriend."
“I rushed back without stopping, and you still say I have no conscience? You really are a little heartless.”
Xi Ran realized she had gone a bit too far, so she cupped Chu Jiangyi's face and kissed him.
This...this...Chu Jiang was flattered...and immediately carried his girlfriend back to their room...
Who could resist such an adorable girlfriend...?
The next morning, Chu Jiang held Xi Ran close for a while before whispering some instructions in her ear.
"I'm going out first. Don't bother making breakfast. I'll have Chu Jiangning bring you some good food from the Chu family. Your task today is to go shopping, spend money, buy pretty clothes, do whatever makes you happy, just treat it as a way to relax, okay?"
Xi Ran, her face still disheveled from sleep, nodded helplessly. In truth, she hadn't heard a word Chu Jiangyi said; she'd simply nodded instinctively…
She was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.
All she wants to do right now is sleep.
Chu Jiang stayed up very late last night, only letting her go close to dawn. No wonder he was sleepy...
"I understand... You go ahead and do your thing, I'm going to sleep a little longer, I'm really sleepy..."
Chu Jiang smiled indulgently, kissed her, put on his clothes, and left the bedroom.
Was he too much last night? His girlfriend's stamina is really poor. He should take her for runs more often and exercise more so she can better cooperate with him in the future.
whee!
Chu Jiang also walked towards the restroom with a silly grin on his face!
Xi Ran was in a daze, unaware of what Chu Jiangyi was thinking. Why was he shopping so early in the morning? He should have just gotten some sleep.
Since she was being asked to accompany Chu Jiangning shopping for pretty clothes, she really didn't want to go...
She just wanted to catch up on her sleep...
In my drowsy state, I saw Chu Jiang also come back to get his phone.
When Xi Ran saw Chu Jiangyi, she complained, "Can I not go? I'm really sleepy, I just want to sleep. Let Ningning go shopping with her classmate, I really don't like shopping..."
Chu Jiangyi shook his head firmly, "No! I've already made arrangements for you. It's not suitable for you to stay at home right now. You should go shopping. I can only work with Chu Jiangning by your side. I'll definitely get things sorted out for you within a week."
Looking at Chu Jiangyi's uncompromising expression, Xi Ran nodded helplessly. Seeing that it was still early, she hugged her pillow and fell into a deep sleep.
Chu Jiang also shook his head helplessly, picked up his phone and walked out.
He hadn't seen his three brothers in a long time; they'd all been very busy lately.
Aside from Qiu Bojie being relatively close to him, they would occasionally meet up for meals or something.
It's really difficult for Xiao Zhebin and Wen Jincheng to meet. They live in different districts and are far from G University. They usually practice in Green Bubble.
Today is Saturday, and everyone is free, so Chu Jiang is treating everyone to dinner.
Upon hearing that there was delicious food, Xiao Zhebin and Wen Jincheng eagerly ran towards G University. Qiu Bojie was more fortunate, as he was closer to Chu Jiangyi and usually received some help from him.
