Are you afraid...?
Jiang Nian's heart skipped a beat.
Perhaps.
What that person taught her from a young age was that human emotions are a weakness, the root of being hurt.
Whether it's family, friendship, or love, developing feelings for someone is like exposing your own vulnerability.
An enemy can use your love to hurt you, and the person you love can also use your love to hurt you.
At the same time, if you are not strong enough, the people you love may also get hurt because of you.
Take that rabbit, for example.
Lu Zhaokun said that if he hadn't seen her affection for the rabbit, he wouldn't have let her kill it. If it weren't for her affection, she wouldn't have suffered so much from killing it. If it weren't for her affection, the rabbit wouldn't have had to die.
Therefore, emotions are something that does more harm than good.
So from the age of seven until now, Jiang Nian has never liked anything.
Lu Zhaokun had people teach her everything, but he didn't teach her what emotions were or how to handle them. To him, that was indeed unnecessary.
In the past ten years, she has never experienced what family, friendship, and love are.
But after arriving in Jiangcheng, something seemed different.
My maternal grandfather, my brothers, Han Xu, Lin Ruru, my classmates from Class 36... and Si Boye.
But she's practically a blank slate when it comes to emotions. Sometimes, her ability to cope and express herself is even worse than a child's when dealing with these people.
Are you cold?
Feeling the person in front of him trembling slightly, Si Boye took a deep breath.
He was too impulsive. How could he drag her here in the rain on such a cold day?
With a hoarse voice, she said, "I'll take you back. Once you're back in your room, take a shower and change your clothes as soon as possible."
Si Boye picked up the umbrella from the ground, put his arm around the girl with one hand, and tilted the umbrella over the girl's head.
"...Is the dog still with you?"
Jiang Nian didn't move.
With his eyes downcast, he suddenly spoke.
"What?" Si Boye didn't react for a moment, then he understood what the girl meant. "I'm waiting for you at home."
“I told my older brother I was going to sleep at a classmate’s house,” Jiang Nian pursed her lips, “I want to go see it.”
"good."
Si Boyeqi's originally dark eyes lit up.
She listened to what he said and is trying to change.
There was no driver today; Si Boye drove himself here.
He opened the car door for Jiang Nian, and after she sat down, he handed her a towel and a clean black shirt, which were probably kept in the car as spares.
"Dry your hair, or you'll catch a cold."
“Your pajamas are soaked; take them off and put on this shirt.”
Jiang Nian took the towel: "...You don't need to change your clothes."
Si Boye's tone was coaxing, his voice hoarse and soft: "Be good, your clothes are wet and sticking to your body, you'll get cold even with the air conditioning on the whole way. I won't peek."
This was the first time Jiang Nian had ever seen Si Boye so serious.
Seeing him close his eyes, she finally took a deep breath and began to unbutton her clothes. She took off her nightgown and then, within seconds, pulled the shirt over her shoulders.
Si Boye's shirt could almost be used as her skirt.
"Are you done?"
Si Boye opened his eyes and saw Jiang Nian obediently changing her clothes.
Under the car headlights, the girl wore a man's oversized shirt, revealing her delicate and slender collarbone.
Her slightly damp and messy black hair fell over her shoulders, making her small face appear even whiter, while her lips were still stained with the blush left from their passionate kiss.
Si Boye took a deep breath. Clearly, the girl before him had no idea how alluring she looked to a man.
She is so strong, yet in some ways she seems so naive and slow-witted.
She flirts without even realizing it.
The next second, he leaned over.
"Don't……"
Jiang Nian almost reflexively tilted her head back to refuse.
Then she heard the man chuckle softly in her ear.
His tall, broad body loomed over her, and his left hand accurately found the seatbelt next to her seat.
His breath sprayed onto her earlobe: "...I was just helping you fasten your seatbelt, what are you thinking?"
Jiang Nian took a deep breath, realizing she had misunderstood, and turned her head away coldly: "I wasn't thinking anything."
Seeing the girl's expressionless face and her earlobes gradually turning red, Si Boye's heart melted.
His little bunny is so cute.
With a click, the seatbelt buckle snapped on.
Jiang Nian was about to turn her head when the man, who should have gone back to his seat, not only didn't get up, but instead moved even closer to her.
"you……"
"This time it is."
He held the back of her head again and kissed her passionately.
When both people in the car were breathing unsteadily, Jiang Nian felt like she was suffocating, and Si Boye sensed something was wrong, so he forced himself to let go of them.
"Do other people... kiss like this before they're officially in a relationship?"
Jiang Nian's chest heaved, her face expressionless, but her tone betrayed uncertainty.
“Of course,” Si Boye said without batting an eye, “because the body’s reactions don’t lie.”
"When you like someone, you can't help but want to get closer to them, and you can't resist their approach."
"This is the most direct way to verify whether you have feelings for someone else."
Let's just assume he's telling the truth.
The Maybach was driving through the rainy night.
We soon arrived at No. 17 Tanzhou.
The car had barely entered the gate when the butler was already waiting, holding an umbrella and a suit jacket. Upon seeing Si Boye's car stop, he immediately came forward respectfully.
Jiang Nian was about to get out of the car when Si Boye stepped out and opened the door for her.
He took the coat from the housekeeper, bent down, and lifted her out of the car, wrapping her tightly in the coat before heading home. He ignored Jiang Nian's struggles.
The butler was very perceptive and immediately came over with an umbrella.
They dared not cast even a glance at Jiang Nian's slender legs.
Upon entering the house, the other servants were not surprised by Jiang Nian's arrival and respectfully addressed her as "Miss."
After being put down by Si Boye, Jiang Nian subconsciously searched the large living room.
I saw a grayish-white, fluffy ball of fur, sticking its bottom out and wriggling around on the sofa.
The man took a long stride, impatiently walked over, grabbed the little bundle by the neck, and lifted it up.
Little Alaskan stared blankly with its round eyes, its four paws dangling obediently, revealing its light pink belly: "Silly dog, are you really going to dig a hole in the sofa? Your mom's here, go call her."
