Gym owner & slim-skinned students (10)

After getting drunk, Ling Jian seemed like a different person. The man who usually spoke very little now chattered incessantly, pouring out all his thoughts.

Jiang Ye didn't expect Ling Jian to have such a side.

The contrast of being drunk?

Ling Jian kept muttering for an hour before he hung up the phone with satisfaction. While hanging up the phone, he hummed and made a sincere confession to Jiang Ye.

"I like you..."

“I fell in love with it at first sight.”

Jiang Ye muttered in his heart, if only you could be as open and cute when you are sober as you are when you are drunk.

We have grown up together for so long, are we still so pure?

Maybe they even have children.

The next day, the early morning sun shone into the house. Jiang Ye asked for sick leave from the company and was able to sleep until noon.

When Jiang Ye went downstairs, Ling Jian was there too. He was leaning on the sofa, wearing a set of home clothes, which was rare. The loose and soft knitted shirt brought out a rare gentleness.

The two long legs overlapped together, full of masculinity.

As his peripheral vision caught sight of Jiang Ye, Ling Jian's body froze.

"You didn't go to work?"

Jiang Ye's expression was calm. Since everyone knew that Ling Jian liked him, what was he afraid of?

"No, I'm on sick leave."

After saying that, Jiang Ye naturally took the water cup, went to the water dispenser, filled a glass of water, and then swallowed a few pills.

Are you sick?

Ling Jian was about to ask and his lips moved, but then he changed his mind and didn't want to show his concern and care, so he kept silent and pretended to be indifferent.

After taking the medicine, Jiang Ye walked to the sofa with a plan in mind, looked at Ling Jian and said, "I'll go out and look at the house later."

Don't you like me? I want to stay away from you.

I took the initiative and you didn't cherish it.

Then we can only do the opposite.

Ling Jian couldn't hold it back any longer. His eyes trembled and he asked, "You want to move away?"

Jiang Ye nodded.

"What did I say to you last night on the phone?"

Ling Jian pursed his lips. He knew his own character. He would become talkative when drunk and would not remember anything when he woke up. This morning he flipped through his phone and found that he had actually talked to Jiang Ye for an hour last night.

Now that Jiang Ye said he wanted to move out, the only thing Ling Jian could think of was what harsh words he had said last night.

Jiang Ye and Ling Jian looked at each other blankly. He wanted to laugh, but his face was tense. He said coldly, "I had a high fever last night, and you suddenly called and scolded me."

"It's similar to what I said the night before. It's basically saying that you have no interest in me and it's annoying for me to live in your house..."

With every word Jiang Ye said, Ling Jian's heavy expression became colder, with a thousand curse words and regrets in his heart. Did he get kicked in the head last night???

How could he call Jiang Ye and specifically say something to hurt Jiang Ye?

Is he still human?

Ling Jian's eyes revealed a rare sense of urgency and nervousness. "I was drunk yesterday. Don't take my words seriously..."

"Brother Ling, you don't need to explain, I know it in my heart."

Jiang Ye put on an "I understand" look, and smiled politely and awkwardly, "I was too impulsive. It's shameless to flirt with you not long after breaking up with my ex-girlfriend."

"Don't worry, I won't bother you again."

Ling Jian was in a state of panic.

This is not what he wants!

After Jiang Ye finished speaking, he went upstairs to pack his things. When Ling Jian walked up, he found Jiang Ye squatting on the ground packing his suitcase, exuding an invisible aura of indifference.

[Host, are you really going to leave? ]

No, I just want to scare Ling Jian.

Isn't Ling Jian passive? He just wants to see Ling Jian take the initiative.

Ling Jian stood behind the door, 1.87 meters tall and majestic, his head shrouded in shadows, his teeth clenched tightly, and he almost wanted to make a sound to ask Jiang Ye not to leave.

But if he really asked Jiang Ye not to leave, didn't it mean that he really cared about him?

No, there are other reasons.

"You can continue to live here. The apartment is so big that having you here won't affect me."

Jiang Ye still squatted on the ground packing his luggage and replied in a neutral tone, "But you let me go last night. That's what Ling Ge really meant."

Ling Jian clenched his palms, his narrow and deep eyes were filled with deep regret. He shouldn't have gone out to drink last night and got himself drunk!

"How about you continue to live with me and each of you pay me a little rent, so I can make some extra money?"

For money, what a frank and honest reason.

Jiang Ye was wondering whether to pretend to leave or continue living in Ling Jian's house using this as an excuse when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

The person who called him was Xu Mengran, whom he hadn't contacted for a long time.

As soon as the phone was connected, a woman's pitiful sobbing voice was heard, "Aye, help... help me! There are bad guys here!"

"I'm so scared, come quickly..."

Even Ling Jian, who was standing by, heard what was happening on the phone and his brows furrowed slightly.

Jiang Ye asked calmly, "What's wrong? If you have something to say, please tell me."

This time, it was not Xu Mengran who responded to Jiang Ye, but a strange yet familiar voice, "Jiang Ye, I told you I'll make you pay the price."

[Host, this is the voice of Chen Zixin's brother. ]

The tattooed guy who was giving him trouble at the gym?

Will this brother and sister ever be done with each other? It's true that birds of a feather flock together.

Jiang Ye said, "Xu Mengran and I broke up. Why did you arrest her? Didn't Chen Zixin tell you that you arrested the wrong person?"

The fact is that Chen Zixin's brother really didn't know that Jiang Ye had broken up with Xu Mengran.

"We broke up, who are you kidding? Anyway, just get out of here. The location is the warehouse behind No. 2 Road in Songhua District... If you don't come, your girlfriend is so beautiful, be careful or I will have sex with her."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ye stood up from the ground instantly. His expression was cold, stiff and tense, and his mind was full of the woman's sobbing and the man's threats.

Ling Jian looked at Jiang Ye who was running outside in panic, and without thinking, he followed him out.

Jiang Ye finally arrived at the warehouse the man mentioned.

Unexpectedly, there was no one in the warehouse except Xu Mengran. She fell to the ground, barely wearing her underwear, but the clothes had been torn off and thrown on the ground.

The skin, which was as white and smooth as egg white, now had many red marks.

Xu Mengran's hair was disheveled and she fell to the ground crying.

As soon as she saw Jiang Ye, the woman felt as if she had seen her only hope. She suddenly struggled to get up and threw herself into Jiang Ye's arms without thinking, sobbing and choking, "Aye...Aye..."

Jiang Ye was confused. His body was stiff and he forgot to push him away. The only clear thought in his mind was that Xu Mengran might have been defiled by that man.

As expected, Xu Mengran burst into tears and said, "He...he bullied me...he said he would take revenge on you, make you regret it, and make you sad...and then he did that to me..."

Is it because of him that Chen Zixin's brother did such a thing?

So in the end, all that happened to Xu Mengran was ultimately his fault?

Xu Mengran's words gave Jiang Ye this hint, and Jiang Ye's face turned pale, with mixed feelings in his heart. He was actually very selfish, and the strongest feeling in his heart at this time was not guilt.

But it is hard to accept.

…

Twenty minutes ago.

The tattooed man tied up Xu Mengran and threw her to the ground.

Xu Mengran was frightened, but she calmed down and asked, "Why did you tie me up? I don't know you at all, and I have no grudge against you."

The man sneered, "You should ask your boyfriend about this. If Jiang Ye hadn't provoked my sister, there wouldn't have been so many problems later."

Jiang Ye?

Xu Mengran bit her lip, a little nervous, "If Jiang Ye comes, what will you do to him?"

The man was not a gangster in the true sense of the word, he was just a small-time gangster. He came to Jiang Ye just to vent his anger, such as having a fight or asking him to apologize to his sister.

But the man never thought about anything really out of line, something involving knife-drawing and bloodshed.

I don't have the courage to do such a thing.

Xu Mengran saw that the man in front of him was just a paper tiger and not that cruel, so he asked tentatively, "If you let me go, I can give you some money."

"You don't want to kill or burn anyone, you just want to beat up Jiang Ye... Beating him up is just to vent your anger, what's the point, it's better for me to give you some money."

During the time when she broke up with Jiang Ye, she felt empty inside as if her heart was hollowed out. If she was not too ashamed to face Jiang Ye, she would have wanted to humble herself and try to keep him.

Now is the opportunity.

She came up with a plan of self-torture.

The tattooed man also became greedy for money.

Between beating up Jiang Ye and giving Xu Mengran 150,000, which of the two is more valuable? Do you still need to think about it?

Of course, 150,000 is even better!

"I transferred 150,000 yuan to your account. You only need to do one thing. Send a text message to Jiang Ye saying that you raped me and never show up again."

Jiang Ye is a righteous, kind-hearted man. If he knew that he was hurt because of him, he would definitely feel guilty and would definitely think about taking responsibility for himself.

This is the only chance she can fight for herself to rekindle her old relationship with Jiang Ye.

…

When Ling Jian arrived, he saw Jiang Ye carrying the vulnerable and helpless Xu Mengran out. The woman lay in Jiang Ye's arms, her hands around Jiang Ye's neck, full of dependence and trust.

There was no impatience on Jiang Ye's face. He even patted the woman's shoulder as if to comfort her.

This scene was so perfect that it hurt Ling Jian's eyes.

Ling Jian's footsteps seemed to take root and take root in the ground.

Jiang Ye walked out holding Xu Mengran and happened to meet Ling Jian.

Ling Jian's Adam's apple moved, and his deep gaze fell on Jiang Ye's face. He asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Ye's fingers were shaking as he hugged Xu Mengran.

He was too embarrassed to say that he had caused a woman to lose her innocence.

"It's all right for now. You go back first. I'll take her home."

Jiang Ye's face looked very bad, and there was a light cracking in his eyes. Self-blame and guilt are annoying emotions that make people not know how to face them.

Ling Jian was about to say something, but Jiang Ye had already left with the woman in his arms.

From the beginning to the end, he became somewhat redundant. He heard the woman's fragile and dependent words, "Jiang Ye, I'm afraid..."

Jiang Ye said with guilt and in a complicated tone, "I'm sorry..."

The voice was getting farther and farther away, and it was completely inaudible. Ling Jian's face was filled with confusion and helplessness. He had a vague feeling that Jiang Ye and Xu Mengran might be reconciling?

At least he could see that Xu Mengran was still very dependent on Jiang Ye.

But……

He didn't want to see Jiang Ye reconcile with the woman.

Ling Jian's eyelashes trembled heavily, and his tall body stood stiffly in the same place for a long time, until the sky became dark. The man's facial features became darker and darker, like a sculpture reflected by the sunset.

He finally couldn't help but slap himself.

"Who told you to be so mean last night..."

He would rather have confessed to Jiang Ye last night.

Even when confessing his love, he was unwilling to say anything that would hurt Jiang Ye, causing Jiang Ye to drift further and further away from him.

Why wouldn't he accept the opportunity to be with Jiang Ye? If Jiang Ye got back together with someone else, he would really have no chance at all.

Ling Jian had never felt so remorseful and annoyed as he did now. He really regretted that when Jiang Ye took the initiative to kiss him that night, he did not kiss him back or push Jiang Ye down.

Without courage and vision, he should have told Jiang Ye that he didn't care about his past, he was only responsible for his future.

The slender and powerful fingers touched the phone and turned on the screen. Ling Jian lowered his eyes, which were dark and deep, and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes. Should he call Jiang Ye?
