Chapter Forty-Five
Jiang You got dressed, dried his hair, and cleaned the bathroom thoroughly before coming out with the bag.
At this moment, Wang Lili and Song Yun walked in one after the other.
Wang Lili didn't immediately agree to Song Yun's request. After all, she couldn't choose between the two-dimensional "Desolate" author and the three-dimensional "Idol" author.
As soon as Song Yun saw Jiang You emerge, she rushed over, grabbing her shoulders with both hands and asking anxiously, "Youyou, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? What happened to your mouth?"
He tilted his head down, his brown pupils looking up at her, his lips slightly parted, a small cut, the tears already stopped.
Jiang You looked away uncomfortably at the worried gaze, and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Before she could finish speaking, Song Yun wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, buried his cool nose in her neck, trembled slightly, and said in a fearful voice, "I'm so scared."
Xiao Sinian stood to the side, his brows furrowed deeply, his cold black pupils almost solidifying as he stared at Song Yun.
This guy is shameless, begging for comfort in a weak and pathetic way; he's not a man at all.
Wang Lili glanced at Song Yun, then at Xiao Sinian. They were both her idols, and she couldn't bear to help either of them. So she lowered her head, deciding to avoid seeing them altogether.
Jiang You struggled for a moment but couldn't break free. Helplessly, he said, "Song Yun, it's really alright. Let go of me first."
Song Yun always does something to attract attention; if you hadn't seen him having an episode, you would have thought he was faking it.
Upon hearing this, Song Yun, no matter how unwilling, obediently let go.
Jiang You hadn't looked closely at Song Yun before, but now she noticed that he wasn't wearing a mask, was lightly biting his lower lip, and had his bright, watery eyes blinking at her, with the corners of his eyes slightly red, looking fragile and aggrieved.
It was as if he was the one who had been splashed with water.
she:"......"
"Jiang You," Xiao Si called out to her, walked up to her, and used his body to block the view of the boy behind him.
His dark eyes, like a leopard's in the night, stared into hers. His voice was deep: "Add me on WeChat. I'll send it to you when I have time. By the way, didn't your friend say she didn't have a boyfriend?"
Jiang You took out his phone from his bag and asked if he wanted to invite someone to dinner.
She scanned the other party's QR code, which showed a full-body portrait of the person wearing a red and white Olympic uniform. Immediately afterward, upon hearing the following sentence, she guiltily replied, "Yes, no."
Speaking of which, Xia Yan is sending him fewer and fewer WeChat messages. Judging from this, she will soon be broken up with by the silent treatment.
Thinking of this, she smiled and was happy to be rid of a big problem, completely unaware of how ambiguous it was for Xiao Sinian to ask her if she had a boyfriend.
"Oh, isn't this your boyfriend?" Xiao Sinian walked to the side.
Song Yun's malicious and indifferent gaze at Xiao Sinian was completely exposed to Jiang You.
A flicker of panic crossed his rosy lips and white teeth face, which quickly transformed into a pitiful expression, like a big dog lowering its head. A second later, he slightly raised his eyes to steal a glance at the girl's reaction.
"What is Song Yun doing?" Jiang You glanced at him and explained, "He's from my hometown, and his family asked me to take care of him."
Xiao Sinian raised his eyebrows and said, "So you're from the same hometown? He seemed very friendly to you; I thought he was your boyfriend."
"No, no, he and I are not."
She shook her head. Song Yun did indeed like to stick close to her. At first, she wasn't used to moving away, but she gradually got used to it.
Wait a minute, why is the conversation going on and on about whether she has a boyfriend?
Song Yun pursed her lips, watching her try her best to distance herself from the situation, and felt as if her heart had been stabbed with a knife.
“Since that’s not the case, then, Song Yun,” Xiao Sinian’s handsome face shone even brighter under the light, sharp and imposing, his deep, unfathomable eyes looking at Song Yun, “you should be more mindful of your distance in the future, or you’ll ruin the girl’s reputation. What do you say?”
Song Yun looked up, their gazes met in mid-air, and a hint of fierceness appeared in his clear, dark brown eyes.
How annoying! Before, I only wanted to kill him in the comics, but now I want to kill him.
Xiao Sinian wasn't easily intimidated. For a moment, the air around them seemed to freeze, filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, as if a single spark could trigger a massive explosion.
Jiang You stood there, somewhat at a loss. Xiao Sinian was cold on the outside but kind on the inside. He was considering her reputation, which was not wrong. Song Yun did not want to back down, which was also understandable. How could she possibly speak up?
If I had known, she shouldn't have eaten the fish rafts from Dongting Lake last night. If she hadn't eaten them, she wouldn't have had diarrhea today. If she hadn't had diarrhea, she wouldn't have been splashed with water. If she hadn't been splashed with water, she wouldn't be standing here helplessly.
She looked to Wang Lili for help.
Wang Lili, being quite tactful, stepped in to smooth things over: "Jiang You, are you hungry? Let's go get lunch?"
Whenever Wang Lili recalls the embarrassing incident in front of her idol whom she has long admired, a strong sense of shame surges into her heart like a tide, making her wish she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Who knew that the person covered up so tightly was a boy who looked like he was from a comic book? She swore that he was the most beautiful person she had ever seen in real life.
"Huh?" Jiang You blinked and asked in a low voice, wondering why Lili sounded so angry.
She didn't lie to her roommate about Song Yun, did she?
Finally, the four of them arrived at a quiet and secluded restaurant.
The table was laden with delicious-looking and fragrant dishes that made one's mouth water.
Xiao Sinian gently put down his chopsticks and said, "Jiang You, I've already spoken to the principal about you being splashed with water. There are no surveillance cameras in the restroom area, but based on the name Meng Wanwan you provided, we've found several suspects. We're currently conducting further questioning on them."
After saying that, he picked up his water glass, took a sip, paused briefly, and then added, "If they don't admit it, there's nothing we can do, since there's no evidence. No matter the outcome, the principal will compensate you with 50,000 yuan."
You get 50,000 yuan for getting splashed with water once!
Jiang You slightly opened her mouth, feeling that her fortune was particularly good this year. As long as she was more frugal, she could buy her own house in her hometown province after graduation.
By then, as a girl, she would have more confidence, and her parents would be proud in front of their relatives.
She quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you."
Xiao Sinian could have easily ignored this matter, and Jiang You knew that she had not suffered any real harm. After all the trouble, there was no way to get a clear result, and in the end, it could only be left unresolved or settled with a few hundred yuan in compensation.
I was just going to accept my bad luck, but I didn't expect Xiao Sinian to help me. No wonder he has so many fans, he really is a very, very good person.
From then on, she became Xiao Sinian's most loyal fan.
The girl was introverted, with bright, sparkling eyes. When she thanked him, her voice trembled, but it was very sincere.
Xiao Sinian gave her a deep look, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. He had met girls who made his heart flutter before, but this time was different.
