Chapter Twenty-Six
Lei Tingjun then realized that he had accidentally grabbed her hand.
Ji Wanmei's hands were small and delicate, with smooth and soft skin. They felt soft and boneless in the hand, and had a very pleasant feel.
Lei Tingjun was a little reluctant to let go, but he still managed to release her hand quickly with his strong self-control.
He even apologized to her: "I...I didn't mean to. Don't be angry."
Seeing his clumsy and flustered manner, Ji Wanmei couldn't help but chuckle, realizing that he was completely different from what she had imagined.
I originally thought that with his big, tall and sturdy build, he would be a rough and gruff man, but I never expected him to have such a cute side.
When Lei Tingjun saw her smile, he blushed and smiled back.
He smiled somewhat憨憨地, somewhat handsome, revealing a few white teeth, and his dark eyes were full of light.
Ji Wanmei noticed that he had a set of very neat and white teeth. Although his clothes and pants were a bit yellowed and old, they were not dirty. This showed that he usually paid attention to personal hygiene, at least he often took a bath and changed his clothes.
Unlike some men of this era who don't take a bath for ten days or half a month, don't like to change their clothes, and smell of sweat when you get close to them, and some don't like to brush their teeth or rinse their mouths, so when they open their mouths they smell of bad breath and cigarette smoke.
Although Lei Tingjun had a faint smell of tobacco on him, he was dressed very neatly.
And his hair, styled short and stiff, didn't look sloppy at all.
These are all things that Ji Wanmei is quite satisfied with.
If Lei Tingjun were a dirty, smelly, and slovenly man, Ji Wanmei wouldn't be able to stand it.
In that case, she would rather repay his life-saving grace in another way than say that she would give him a chance to date.
When Lei Tingjun grabbed her hand just now, Ji Wanmei's face turned red instantly.
She didn't know why, even though her mental age was no longer eighteen, she still felt shy and embarrassed, like a naive young girl.
Perhaps it was Lei Tingjun's intense gaze, or perhaps it was the overwhelming masculine aura emanating from him, his tall stature and broad chest making his presence too strong, that made her somewhat embarrassed to look directly into his burning eyes.
His eyes were so intense, it was as if... as if they could burn you.
Ji Wanmei was a little embarrassed and annoyed: "Why are you staring at me like that?"
There were no flowers growing on her face.
But in Lei Tingjun's eyes, Ji Wanmei's face didn't have any flowers, but she was more beautiful than any flower and attracted his attention even more. He couldn't take his eyes off her for even a moment.
Lei Tingjun didn't say anything, but simply stuffed the fifty yuan back into Ji Wanmei's hand, expressing his attitude directly through his actions.
He said, "You don't need to worry about that matter, I've already taken care of it. Zuo Quangui and his son are a bit stubborn, but I'm not without ways to deal with them."
Ji Wanmei couldn't persuade this stubborn man, so she had no choice but to put the money away.
But that's not what she's worried about.
What she's worried about now is that even if Lei Tingjun and his group reach a private settlement with Deputy Director Zuo and his son, her father, if he insists on implementing the spirit of the documents from above, will still strictly investigate the phenomenon of gang fighting.
At that time, these few people from Leitingjun will still be used as examples to set a precedent.
It's their own fault for being so high-profile, which has drawn criticism from everyone.
But the factory manager is her father, and Ji Wanmei also wants to help Lei Tingjun, which puts her in a difficult position.
When Lei Tingjun saw Ji Wanmei put away the money, a smile appeared in his eyes.
If a girl is willing to use a man's money, it means she acknowledges the man's existence.
Lei Tingjun felt a sense of satisfaction. He took out the review materials that were tucked under one arm and said, "Look, this is what I bought the other day. I've already read more than ten pages. Actually, it's quite simple. It's not as difficult as I imagined."
Of course, he exaggerated. He even went to Lao Xiao for help in the dormitory, and when he ran to the woman he liked, he boasted that it looked very simple.
It's nothing more than wanting the woman he likes to think he's amazing.
In this respect, Lei Tingjun is no exception to any ordinary man.
Of course, he wanted Ji Wanmei to think he was amazing.
Therefore, no matter how much hardship he endured behind the scenes, he never spoke of it, even though he would take time to study this review material during his night shifts or stay up all night to do so.
Ji Wanmei took the reference book, glanced through it briefly, and said, "I have a few of these reference books with me. I'll go get them for you later."
“These are all books I studied when I was preparing for the college entrance exam. Now that I've passed, I don't need them anymore. You can take them and read them; they might come in handy.”
Lei Tingjun hesitated for a moment. He had originally planned to raise the money himself to buy them, but since those books were no longer of any use to Ji Wanmei, he figured it wouldn't hurt to take them and take a look.
Moreover...
He glanced at Ji Wanmei.
It is said that one's handwriting reflects one's personality. Since she is so beautiful, her handwriting must be beautiful as well.
Lei Tingjun felt that holding the books she had read and looking at the notes she had made made it seem as if their relationship could become closer. Just having this thought made Lei Tingjun feel comfortable all over, something in his chest was beating rapidly, and he couldn't stop the smile from curving his lips.
He said, "If it's not too much trouble for you, that's fine too."
Ji Wanmei then turned to leave, saying, "Then I'll go back to my room and get it for you."
The corner where they were standing was just behind Ji Wanmei's house, only a minute or two's walk back.
