Soon, after the last class in the afternoon, Tang Ning, who had reached a preliminary friendly agreement with Mu Sheng, was greeted by the arrival of Ye Jinyan, Jiang Yao, and others. It was said that other classmates also wanted to come and see her, but Ye Jinyan had basically banned them on the school forum, saying that it would disturb Tang Ning's rest.
Ye Jinyan, a second-year student at Jinsheng Boys' High School, is outstanding in terms of family background and academics, and he still has a certain amount of influence. In addition, he is Tang Ning's older brother. To some boys who shamelessly call Tang Ning their wife in private, he is the future brother-in-law. They can ignore everyone else's words, but how can they ignore the words of their future brother-in-law? So, once the ban was issued on the forum, apart from Jiang Yao and Yin Yuqing, no one dared to come and see Tang Ning anymore.
After learning from Mu Sheng what Tang Ning needed to pay attention to after returning home, Ye Jinyan immediately knelt down in front of Tang Ning's bed, who was already wearing a down jacket.
This single action immediately drew surprised looks from almost everyone present, who turned to look at Ye Jinyan.
"Brother, you..."
“Come on up. There are only stairs around the school hospital, so cars can’t drive in. I’ll carry you to the car. After all, you got hurt because of me, so come on up quickly.”
Ye Jinyan urged.
Seeing this, Mu Sheng, who was standing to the side, looked at Ye Jinyan, who was half-squatting on the ground, with great interest. If his investigation data was correct, Ye Jinyan and Tang Ning should only be half-siblings, and their relationship had never been very good before!
This is...
interesting.
Mu Sheng subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yao beside him, and sure enough, the boy's face looked a little off, though he himself didn't seem to realize the change in his expression.
On the other side, Tang Ning was about to refuse after hearing Ye Jinyan's words, but Ye Jinyan had already hoisted her onto his back without saying a word, gently lifted her with both hands, and started walking outside.
As he passed by Jiang Yao, he simply greeted him and then said that Tang Ning was injured and needed to go home to rest as soon as possible. He told Jiang Yao to go home and rest as well, and then carried Tang Ning on his back and walked away.
"See you tomorrow, Yao!"
Tang Ning, who was being carried on Ye Jinyan's back, quickly waved to him vigorously, and soon her bright smile disappeared behind the gate of the school hospital.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yao didn't even have time to say goodbye to Tang Ning before he watched her and Ye Jinyan disappear from his sight.
For a moment, he couldn't even describe the feeling in his heart. When exactly did Jin Yan and Tang Ning become so close? Why didn't he know anything about it? It was only a short while ago...
He always felt a tightness in his chest, a feeling of suffocation, as if he couldn't exhale or swallow a breath.
Also, it seems he didn't have a chance to properly say goodbye to Tang Ning just now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao seemed to have found an excuse for himself. After taking a deep breath, he ran out without hesitation.
Seeing Jiang Yao's actions, Yin Yuqing slowly recovered from the shock of Jin Yan taking the initiative to squat down and carry Tang Ning on his back, and followed after him.
Then the two saw Ye Jinyan carrying Tang Ning down the stairs. He seemed to turn his head and say something to the girl on his back. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the smile on her face was even more radiant and beautiful than the sunset. Then she leaned close to Ye Jinyan's ear and said something. After hearing her words, the corners of Ye Jinyan's mouth also turned up slightly.
Everything seemed so harmonious and in perfect sync.
"If I didn't know that Jin Yan was Tang Ning's brother, I would really have thought they were a couple..."
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Yin Yuqing murmured this unconsciously.
After realizing what she had said, she quickly covered her mouth and hurriedly explained to Jiang Yao beside her, "I...I didn't mean that, I just thought they were a good match, no...I just...it's just...Yao...Yao!"
Before she could finish speaking, she saw Jiang Yao immediately turn around and stride towards the dormitory building.
The boy's strides were so long that she couldn't keep up for a moment.
"Ah Yao, Ah Yao, Ah Yao..."
Even though Yin Yuqing's calls were constantly echoing behind him, Jiang Yao, who was walking in front, seemed not to hear anything. He took bigger and bigger steps, faster and faster, until finally, he even started running.
If he didn't run, the harmonious scene between Tang Ning and Jin Yan would reappear in his mind, frame by frame, incredibly clear.
Just thinking about that scene makes him feel suffocated and stifled, as if he might not be able to breathe at any moment.
He's always treated Tang Ning like his own sister, hasn't he? His feelings for her are just familial affection from spending so much time together, not romantic love, right? He doesn't feel his heart race when he's with her; holding her hand is just like holding his own left hand with his right, isn't it?
But why...?
Why did he feel like the tightness in his chest was about to make him explode?
Why do I feel so uncomfortable?
Could it be that he... has feelings for Tang Ning?
"Ah Yao... Ah!"
Just as he was thinking this, Jiang Yao, who was running faster and faster, suddenly heard a thud not far behind him, followed by Yin Yuqing's startled cry.
Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Yao abruptly stopped and turned around. He saw that Yin Yuqing had probably fallen into a flower bed because she was chasing him too fast. Her face and body were covered with grass and mud, and her palms were even scraped on the edge of the flower bed.
Upon seeing this, all the feelings of frustration, the sense of impending explosion, and the various thoughts about whether his feelings for Tang Ning were familial or romantic instantly vanished from Jiang Yao's mind. He quickly ran back to Yin Yuqing's side.
"Yu Feng, how are you? Are you alright?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yao's anxious question, Yin Yuqing, who had been holding back her tears, finally broke down. She threw herself into Jiang Yao's arms, crying as she said, "What happened to you just now? Why did you walk so fast? Why didn't you turn around to look at me no matter how I called you? Yao, you scared me so much..."
"No, I won't do it again, I'll never do it again. It was my fault. Let me see where you fell. Please let me see."
Jiang Yao panicked the moment he saw Yin Yuqing crying and hurriedly said this.
The boy felt a pang of heartache upon seeing her bruised and chapped palms. He comforted her for a long time before the storm finally passed and the sun shone through again.
Meanwhile, upon arriving at the Ye family villa, Ye Jinyan carried Tang Ning out of the car and returned home. Immediately, the family's nannies swarmed around them, inquiring about Tang Ning's injuries. It was then that Tang Ning and Ye Jinyan learned that morning, just as they were leaving for school, Ye Zhen, due to an emergency in Beijing, hadn't even had time to say goodbye to the two children before taking Tang Qing with him to Beijing.
Yes, for so many years, Ye Zhen has always taken Tang Qing with him on every business trip. On one hand, he is only interested in making money and has little interest in women. If he needs to bring a woman to an event while traveling, who is more suitable than his wife? On the other hand, for him, Tang Qing is simply an indispensable little helper for both travel and home. No matter where he is, she can take care of him comfortably, and even make his thinking much clearer when discussing business.
With such great benefits, how could he possibly go out without Tang Qing!
This also earned him a reputation for being a devoted husband who doted on his wife, making countless wives of CEOs secretly envious and jealous of Tang Qing.
Who would have thought that there were so many twists and turns behind his love for his wife!
For Tang Ning and Ye Jinyan, it's been the norm for their parents to be away from home, and they've long been used to it.
Wanting Tang Ning to rest early, Ye Jinyan carried her upstairs and gently placed her on his bed after hearing the news.
Having never been to Tang Ning's room before, everything here was new and unfamiliar to Ye Jinyan.
So he couldn't help but take a second look, but just then, Tang Ning, due to some inexplicable impatience, took the initiative to shoo him away.
"Brother, you can drop me off here. You can go now. I need to sleep. Ah, my feet hurt so much. I really need to sleep. You should go now, go now!"
If it weren't for her leg injury preventing her from moving, Ye Jinyan even suspected that she might have jumped up and pushed him away.
Ye Jinyan, who originally wanted to say a few more words to her, had no choice but to leave first under her urging.
But because he was thinking about something, he didn't take a step. As a result, he heard a scream from Tang Ning's room after a short while.
Without a second thought, Ye Jinyan immediately turned the doorknob and rushed inside.
"Ningning, what's wrong with you...?"
Following the sound, Ye Jinyan arrived at the bathroom door of Tang Ning and stared in disbelief at the thin white tracksuit she had worn at school and hadn't taken off. She was sitting under the shower, desperately trying to stand up by holding onto the smooth wall and turn off the showerhead that was spraying water incessantly.
Upon hearing Ye Jinyan's voice, he immediately turned around.
Because her entire body was already soaked by the water from the accidentally turned-on showerhead, her curves were fully exposed. Not only that, but even the pink bra under her white short-sleeved shirt could be clearly seen by someone.
Immediately, Ye Jinyan's heart began to pound, and then he abruptly turned his back.
Just then, the door to Tang Ning's room, which Ye Jinyan had casually closed, was gently knocked on by the downstairs nannies who had rushed over upon hearing the noise.
"Miss Tang Ning, what's wrong? May we come in?"
"Wait...wait...wait a minute..."
Tang Ning responded with a stammering sound.
This time, she really wanted to say that she really didn't mean it, it was all an accident, an accident! After all, this is the clean and peaceful Jinjiang, not some random post, and she swore she really didn't mean it that way.
She just wanted to go to the toilet by herself because she had been holding it in for a very long time because of acting.
Thinking of this, she could only resign herself to fate and shyly whisper to Ye Jinyan, who had already turned his back, "Brother, can you help me up? My legs hurt, I can't stand up..."
Ye Jinyan's current favorability rating: 50.
Huh?
Huh!
Well, look at you with those thick eyebrows and big eyes, that icy, aloof look, you actually have a thing for this?
I really misjudged you...
Tsk tsk.
54088: I misjudged you, hmph.
