Chapter 85 Bad Woman
I thought that the appearance of "boyfriend" yesterday would completely make Fang Qing give up.
The next morning, as soon as I opened the door to the lab, I heard her energetic voice: "Good morning, Chen Rui!"
"..." I paused and replied vaguely, "Good morning." I just wanted to quickly retreat to my new workstation.
She sat down next to me very naturally, and started her performance from a distance.
"Hey, Chen Rui," she said casually, her tone carrying a subtle hint of inquiry. "I didn't expect your boyfriend to be so handsome! He has such a great demeanor! I saw him downstairs when I came here just now."
I tightened my grip on the mouse and said nothing.
She didn't seem to mind my silence and continued talking to herself, her voice filled with a hint of deliberate surprise: "He was walking with a girl, chatting and laughing, and they seemed to know each other well. The girl was also quite pretty and had a good temperament. She must be from their lab, right? I didn't expect that there were girls in their group this year. It seems that they won't have to worry about being alone..."
With a "hum" sound, a surge of evil fire mixed with sourness suddenly rushed to the top of the head.
I knew there was something fishy about her words. Lin Yan was most likely just communicating normally with her classmates, or maybe she was the mentor's daughter mentioned yesterday.
But words like "chatting and laughing", "quite familiar", and "no worries about having a companion" pierced my nerves like poisonous stings.
Fang Qing's move was too vicious. It accurately hit Lin Yan's soft spot and also touched my uneasy point - she knew too well how to provoke.
My mind told me not to be fooled, but my emotions were surging uncontrollably.
I scratched my hair in frustration, but couldn't help myself. I took out my phone and sent a WeChat message to Lin Yan:
Me: Fang Qing just said that she saw you chatting and laughing with a girl.
Almost an instant reply.
Lin Yan: Honey, that's my mentor's daughter! She's only in junior high! I just ran into her downstairs, and she asked me a math question! [grieved.jpg]
Lin Yan: Baby, don't let her influence you! This woman is too cunning! [hug.jpg]
When I saw the words "junior high school" and "math problems", I was instantly deflated, and at the same time, I felt even more irritated and frustrated with my lack of concentration.
Me: ...Excuse me. [facepalm.jpg]
Me: Oh, I know she did it on purpose, but I couldn’t help but take it to heart after she said it… It’s annoying.
Lin Yan: I'll come to find you in a while. Can you sneak out?
Me: I should be able to finish after the instructor explains the precautions.
The next few seconds seemed like years.
The instructor was talking about the project team's planning and precautions, but I couldn't hear a word he said. All I could think about was Fang Qing's seemingly harmless smile and those deliberately misleading words.
I finally waited until my supervisor announced the end of the meeting, and I was the first one to rush out of the laboratory.
As soon as I ran to the corner of the stairs, I saw Lin Yan waiting there.
I rushed over as if I had found a savior, threw myself into his arms, buried my face deep in his chest, and said sullenly, "Lin Yan, I really can't stand it anymore... She's so annoying!"
Lin Yan hugged me tightly, patting my back soothingly with his palm, and said in a low and serious voice: "Baby, don't pay attention to her in the future, don't say a word. This woman is just taking advantage of every opportunity, her mind is too dirty."
"But," I raised my head, a grimace on my face, "my workstation is not far from hers..."
Lin Yan's eyes turned cold: "Come on, I'll go in with you."
He took my hand without saying anything and pulled me back to the laboratory.
The people inside were still there. Lin Yan walked towards the boy next to me who was wearing headphones and looked easy to talk to.
"Excuse me, classmate." Lin Yan's voice was gentle but with an unquestionable momentum.
The boy took off his headphones and looked at us puzzledly.
"Could you please switch seats with him?" Lin Yan pointed at me, then pointed at an empty seat next to the boy, closer to the corner. "He's not in good health and is a bit afraid of the cold. You should stay away from the air-conditioning vent."
His reasons were flawless and his expression was sincere.
The boy looked at me, then at Lin Yan (Lin Yan's aura was really convincing), probably thinking it was no big deal, and nodded: "Oh, okay." After that, he began to pack up neatly.
I hurried to help.
When Fang Qing came back from outside, she saw that the boy and I had already exchanged workstations, and I was carrying my things to a new, more cornered position farther away from her.
Her steps suddenly stopped, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, her eyes were so gloomy that water could drip out of them, and she stared at me intently.
The hatred and coldness in his eyes sent a chill down my spine.
But soon, she forced a stiff smile, didn't look at me again, and walked straight back to her seat.
I'm too lazy to pay attention to her anymore.
It was like being transported back to my freshman year, before I met Lin Yan. I quietly pulled out my noise-canceling headphones, put them on, turned on my computer, and pulled up some references. The world instantly became quiet.
The conversations and laughter of other people in the lab, as well as Fang Qing's ambiguous glances, were all blocked out.
In my world, there are only codes on the screen and music in my ears.
In the next few days, I was busy adapting to the pace of the courses. In addition, Fang Qing seemed to have calmed down temporarily (or, in other words, she was temporarily stunned by Lin Yan's "cutting off the fuel from under the cauldron" trick), so the days finally became a little calmer.
It was not until the evening of that day that I returned home, tired from a day of classes.
As soon as I entered the door, Lin Yan came up to me with a smile and wanted to hug me.
"Baby, I'm back..." He opened his arms.
However, the moment he approached, his arm froze in mid-air.
The smile on his face quickly faded, his brows furrowed, his nostrils twitched slightly, and his eyes instantly became sharp and cold.
"Baby," his voice was unusually calm, yet it carried a sense of impending pressure. "What's wrong with your clothes?"
I was stunned by his question and lowered my head to sniff my coat. "Huh? What's going on? No smell? Oh, did you change the laundry detergent?"
I didn't realize the problem at all.
"It smells like someone else." Lin Yan's voice became deeper, as if he was trying hard to suppress something. "It smells like perfume. Very faint, but... it's a woman's scent."
His eyes scanned my body like a searchlight.
"Huh?!" I was completely stunned. "Perfume? How is that possible? I can't even smell it myself..."
I sniffed hard but still couldn't smell anything, but Lin Yan's determined and dangerous look made me feel uneasy.
"Don't know?" Lin Yan's lips curled up in a cold arc, and a storm was gathering in his eyes.
He suddenly reached out, not to hug me, but directly grabbed my belt and pulled it hard!
"Wait! Lin Yan!" I shrank back in fear. "I remember now! The lab was super hot and stuffy this afternoon, so I took off my coat and draped it over the back of a chair! I only put it back on when I left in the evening! Could it be... someone touched it?"
Fang Qing’s gloomy face flashed through my mind.
However, my explanation did not seem to calm Lin Yan's anger, but instead seemed to ignite the fuse.
His eyes were filled with strong possessiveness and a kind of rage of having his territory invaded.
Not only did he not let go, but he went a step further. One hand forcefully reached into my waistband and kneaded my buttocks with a sense of punishment, while the other hand pressed me towards him.
"Hmm..." I groaned at his sudden action, feeling embarrassed and anxious. "Lin Yan! Why are you torturing me? It's someone else's doing!"
"Because," Lin Yan's voice was hoarse, with an almost paranoid possessiveness, and his hot breath sprayed on the side of my neck, "I want you to know clearly who can truly make you comfortable, make you happy, and make you want to die of ecstasy...!"
His fingers began to explore more private places with irresistible force.
