The moment Li Junyang saw Shen Yanxin also there, he knew what her purpose was in coming here.
—Isn't this just to find that thug?
No one can stand by and watch their prey be stolen from them, and Li Junyang was no exception.
He couldn't understand why Shen Yanxin could be so infatuated with Xia Che in just one day.
Li Junyang had been plotting to win Shen Yanxin's heart for a long time. He first approached her as a classmate, then slowly used his gentleness to make her fall in love with him. He then planned two heroic rescues.
What a perfect plan! Li Junyang couldn't think of any unexpected event that could ruin these two perfect plans.
But reality still proved him wrong.
Both times, Xia Che ruined everything.
This lowly thug, who had never caught Li Junyang's eye before, was now trying to steal his prey step by step, and Li Junyang finally couldn't sit still any longer.
"Damn bastard...did you figure out I was coming to cause you trouble today?"
Li Junyang glanced at the class sign for Class 7 and gritted his teeth.
He couldn't wait any longer; Shen Yanxin was the prey he had chosen, destined to belong to him.
If anyone dares to interfere, no matter who it is, Li Junyang will not let them off!
"Why did you call him a scoundrel? Xia Che isn't that kind of person."
Shen Yanxin frowned slightly. Li Junyang kept calling Xia Che a scoundrel, and she could sense his contempt for Xia Che in his words.
But Xia Che is clearly not that kind of person, and Shen Yanxin only recently discovered the righteous heart hidden beneath his gangster exterior.
Such a person may not be a good person, but he is definitely not a scoundrel.
"He's not? Why don't you ask around? Everyone in the whole school knows..."
Li Junyang's expression turned cold. Even at a time like this, Shen Yanxin was still protecting Xia Che. Intense jealousy eroded his heart. He reached out to grab Shen Yanxin's wrist, but his hand froze in mid-air, and the words he hadn't finished speaking were stuck in his throat.
Shen Yanxin stared at him blankly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Watch out, I..."
Li Junyang then realized that he had failed to control his facial expressions, and even his tone sounded somewhat furious.
How could I be so careless when I haven't even caught my prey yet?
"You were really scary just now..."
Shen Yanxin shook her head and stepped back. "I don't know what Xia Che did to offend you, but he is really a very good person and has helped me many times. Li Junyang, I originally thought you would be a good friend, but now... you should calm down first."
"Careful, let me explain first!"
Li Junyang tried hard to force a gentle smile like he always did, but Shen Yanxin was clearly frightened by him. She lowered her head and hurriedly left, clutching an oversized coat tightly in her hand.
"Damn it! What the hell!"
Shen Yanxin walked very fast. Li Junyang had just come to his senses when he could no longer see her back. A surge of anger welled up inside him, and intense jealousy eroded his heart. In his rage, he punched the wall, making a dull thud.
"That shirt is a men's style, could it be that last night..."
Li Junyang's eyes flickered; he was already consumed by jealousy and couldn't stay calm at all. The more he thought about it, the worse it got, and the flames of jealousy gradually consumed his heart.
Li Junyang stood there for a long time until the school bell rang, at which point he finally came to his senses, turned around, and went down the stairs.
He knew he couldn't wait any longer.
Xia Che, that opportunistic bastard, must pay the price today.
must!
...
Jiang City, Lishi Quyuan.
Yu Shiyue lay on the bed in a starfish position, feeling waves of darkness washing over her.
She was still not recovered from the embarrassment she had just experienced.
After thinking it over for a long time, Yu Shiyue sighed resignedly, "...Well, forget it. Being mistaken for a man is actually a good thing...At least, that landlord named Xia Che doesn't seem like a good person. Although we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, it's better not to trust him too much, right?"
"I feel much safer to be seen as a man. Who would be attracted to someone of the same sex?"
"You must keep this up from now on, and absolutely cannot give yourself away..."
Yu Shiyue murmured, rolled out of bed, and looked at the mountain of luggage in front of her.
The moving company had already come and moved all her belongings from her previous rented apartment. Looking at the various boxes and suitcases in the room, Yu Shiyue sighed, then cheered herself up and began to pack.
There was no other way; she couldn't ask Xia Che for help.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to hide the fact that she has so many women's products from him.
"So I'm going to be sharing an apartment with this hoodlum from now on? Sigh... I'd better not tell Mom yet. It's already difficult enough for her to handle me since I ran away from home."
The room was bustling with activity, when Yu Shiyue let out a soft sigh.
Yu Shiyue tidied up very quickly, perhaps because she was afraid of being discovered. She was quite efficient, but even so, more than two hours had passed by the time she finished.
"Click—"
Xia Che carried a bag of daily necessities into the entryway, and was stunned when he saw the living room, which had been completely transformed.
"You're back?"
Hearing the commotion, Yu Shiyue came out of the room, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Uh...it's impolite to ask like this, but...what are all these things?"
Looking at the easels, canvases, and even a half-body human sculpture in the living room and on the balcony, Xia Che was somewhat dumbfounded.
If he weren't so familiar with the interior design of his home, he might even be tempted to turn around and go outside to double-check the house number to see if he'd gone to the wrong place.
I only went out for a short trip, not abroad, so why have there been such big changes at home?
I'm so sorry!
Yu Shiyue became even more embarrassed, bowing and saying nervously, "I'm a painter, albeit an amateur one... I usually make a living by taking on commissions. There's just no room left in the room for all these things, so I had no choice but to move them out..."
"If you really mind, then I'll put it away when I'm not using it and take it out again when I do, okay?"
Although this was troublesome, it was really inappropriate for her to use up so much space when she had only rented one room. Yu Shiyue looked at Xia Che nervously, afraid that he would not even agree to this request.
Unexpectedly, Xia Che's expression was only slightly surprised, without any sign of anger. "It's okay, you can just leave it there. Moving it around is too much trouble."
"...Huh?"
Yu Shiyue was somewhat taken aback.
“Perfect timing. I always felt my house was too empty. With these things, it finally feels a bit more human.”
