Chapter 153 You don't need to sacrifice yourself to save anyone
This must be an unexpected night.
There was a hint of surprise in Xiao Jingrun's eyes. The moment the girl turned back, she grabbed his hand with the most forceful attitude and dragged him to run forward desperately.
It's a very strange feeling.
Xiao Jingrun had little contact with the opposite sex for a long time because there was no girl that interested him. He was clear about his mission. Like his father and grandfather, when he reached a certain age, someone would arrange a marriage for him.
He was prepared to accept these things at a very young age, so there was no need for him to come into contact with the opposite sex outside of family arrangements.
Inviting her to the welcome party was purely for fun.
She was admitted to Wharton University with full marks in all subjects, ranking first in the country. Every subject she took was almost perfect, and she even passed the character and moral test smoothly with all the interviewers.
When Xiao Jingrun saw his transcript for the first time, he actually couldn’t believe that anyone could be so perfect.
Hearing that she grew up in the Gu family, he specially asked someone to check whether the Gu family had any involvement in this, but the result was bound to be disappointing.
He really started paying attention to her because people on the forum were accusing her of relying on Gu's family connections to get into school. He thought she would argue that, like most special admissions students, she could withstand insults to her personality and dignity, but absolutely could not have her academic performance questioned.
Because at Wharton College, the only thing that special admissions students can show off is their grades. If their grades are tarnished, their future here will be completely ruined.
Jiang Zhiyue did not make any excuses. Every time she was questioned, she fought back on the spot, making everyone suffer a loss.
She looks thin and delicate, and like many girls, she doesn't like to cause trouble, but when trouble comes, she can solve it well.
At least she is calm and composed, not like a daughter who was raised by a caregiver.
It is precisely because of the contrast in her that Xiao Jingrun always notices her.
The opposite sex he had known since childhood was Bai Yanzhu. Xiao Jingrun suddenly thought, if Bai Yanzhu was present, would she have the courage to turn back like Jiang Zhiyue?
He clearly told her the direction to escape.
Jiang Zhiyue pulled him and ran forward in one go. The fog was getting thicker and thicker. She was so nervous that she probably didn't pay attention to where she was running for a while.
A jaguar soon caught up.
Jiang Zhiyue has always been unlucky, but at this moment she should be thankful that this bad luck has found her. She stepped on a trap and fell down.
Xiao Jingrun quickly grabbed her.
It was too dark down there, and she had no idea how high it was. The stone walls were covered in mud, and Jiang Zhiyue's body slid down, and the mud that fell from the stone walls splashed all over her face.
Jiang Zhiyue could hardly open her eyes, and she told Xiao Jingrun to run quickly.
Xiao Jingrun pulled her with one hand, and the force of the downward movement was too fierce, pulling his body down.
It was too cold at night, with a biting wind.
He held her tightly, trying to pull her up. The sound coming from the distance was getting closer and closer. It was the roar of a jaguar from its throat, and it was chasing after them, smelling the scent of the two of them.
Jiang Zhiyue was a little anxious, "President, please let go and find a place to hide. When it is safe, return to the camp and arrange for someone to rescue me."
"This is something you could have done before, why didn't you do it?" Xiao Jingrun asked back.
Jiang Zhiyue's throat choked. Thinking of Xiao Jingrun's identity, she absolutely could not let anything happen to him here. He and she were alone together. If something happened to him, she would be held accountable by the Xiao family and would become the scapegoat for the mastermind behind the scenes.
She was not that noble, and she did not want Xiao Jingrun to misunderstand her, so she said, "President, do you remember that Chu Junche fell into a deep pit, and no one was willing to go down, but I was willing to go down and save him. In fact, I am not as selfless and kind as you think. I have my own plans."
"I'm an alumnus of yours. If something happens to me outside, others may be safe, but I will definitely be implicated. If I'm unlucky, I'll be sent to prison by your family."
"You always ask me if I think it's unfair. I've answered this question ten thousand times. Why don't you experience it with me once? Do you think it's fair?"
Her tone was gentle and her thoughts were clear.
"Fairness in this world depends on your status."
At this moment, you still have the mind to talk to him about this kind of thing.
"Although reality is cruel, it is the fact that you cannot get into trouble, but I can. I must protect you in order to protect myself."
Xiao Jingrun's face paused for a rare moment. How could he not understand this truth? This was the first time someone dared to explain it to him so bluntly.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have suspected that she was brainwashing him.
There is a saying that goes, if you want to attack someone's heart, that will definitely be the most dangerous moment.
Jiang Zhiyue shook off his hand.
She fell down.
The jaguar pounced towards Xiao Jingrun at that moment. A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Jingrun's eyes. He quickly dodged the attack and picked up the stick on the ground.
Not knowing what happened up there, Jiang Zhiyue stepped on the mud and just stood firm on the rock wall with her hands, and the man fell down immediately. Jiang Zhiyue was shocked and quickly grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands and pulled him hard.
Xiao Jingrun fell forward and pressed the girl against the rock wall, pressing his entire body against her.
He looked disheveled, with dead leaves in his hair and mud on his face.
The noble and elegant temperament is no longer there.
Men are more like lone wolves surviving in primitive society.
His heart was beating faster and his breathing was a little labored. He realized that Jiang Zhiyue had pulled him. He turned around and saw that the entire mud was filled with wooden drills. If he fell on them, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Say what you just said again." Xiao Jingrun's voice sounded less gentle and more sharp.
He pressed himself against her, and at such a distance, Jiang Zhiyue could hear his heartbeat.
"President, your hand is bleeding." Jiang Zhiyue smelled a faint smell of blood. She let go of the man's clothes and slid down, and her fingertips touched the man's palm.
"One jaguar is easy to deal with, but they all chased me and I'm not sure I can escape," said Xiao Jingrun.
Jiang Zhiyue took a deep breath and tried to push the man away, but Xiao Jingrun didn't move.
She felt a chill on her forehead and something dripping onto her head.
I touched it and it was mucus.
Jiang Zhiyue looked up and saw several jaguars guarding the cave entrance, fangs bared, and salivating.
She clung to the rock wall, wishing she could hide herself. Xiao Jingrun stood beside her.
"You don't need to sacrifice yourself to save anyone. This world is not as unfair as you think..." The man exhaled and said, "I mean the future."
