Chapter 282: Keep your distance
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment.
He didn't notice that there was a man beside Su Jiaojiao. His eyes fell on the big hand on Su Jiaojiao's waist. He seemed to hear the sound of his own heartbreaking. His mind went blank and he heard himself saying, "Of course, of course..."
"He, he was just joking. He won't go." Su Jiaojiao explained awkwardly. She instinctively pushed Lu Jingyou away, but he held her tightly in his arms and she couldn't move at all.
In Chen Yi's eyes, the two people's actions seemed like flirting. He turned around and left without saying a word, quickly disappearing in the crowd.
Seeing Chen Yi leave, Lu Jingyou loosened his grip, and Su Jiaojiao finally broke free from his arms. She rarely showed her emotions, but at this moment she was furious: "What are you doing?"
She was just attending a gathering of fellow villagers.
Why did he embarrass her in front of Chen Yi?
"He's interested in you, can't you see?" Lu Jingyou was also a little angry. "I'm just helping you avoid the peach blossoms that don't belong to you!"
"None of your business is my business!" Su Jiaojiao turned around and left angrily, "You have no right to interfere!"
He is the peach blossom that she doesn't want.
She forgot she was wearing high heels and walked too fast, accidentally twisting her ankle and losing her balance, falling backwards.
Lu Jingyou took a quick step forward and held her firmly: "Be careful."
Su Jiaojiao pushed him away again, put on her shoes, and continued walking forward. After just a few steps, she was picked up from behind. Lu Jingyou whispered in her ear, "If you don't want others to watch you, don't move."
Before eight o'clock, there were still quite a few students entering and leaving the South Gate.
The street lights were dim and the shade of the trees was dark. The students passing by just thought it was a couple having a quarrel, so it didn't cause much of a commotion.
"Put me down." Su Jiaojiao was annoyed with him and didn't care about anything else. She struggled to break free from his arms, but he held her wrist tightly. "Jingjiao, calm down. We need to have a good talk."
"I have nothing to discuss with you." Su Jiaojiao couldn't break free, so she bit his wrist. He didn't expect her to bite him, and although his hand hurt, he didn't let her go. Seeing that she was emotional, he pushed her against the tree trunk and looked at her with sharp eyes, "What position do I hold in your mind?"
During her three years in high school, he was unable to express too much love to her and could only interact with her through the convenience of work.
He felt that she had been hurt in her previous life and felt insecure, so he was not in a hurry to confess his feelings to her. As Qi Heng said, he was indeed boiling a frog in warm water.
He hoped to simmer things down slowly, and through daily interactions, he could remove her inner guard and naturally make her be with him.
However, the appearance of this boy still disrupted his plans and caught him off guard.
It was obvious that this was not the first time Chen Yi came to see her. If he hadn't run into her tonight, she wouldn't have known that she had a love rival by her side.
Chen Yi's eyes could not lie. He had liked Su Jiaojiao for a long time. What made him even angrier was that Su Jiaojiao had no intention of rejecting Chen Yi and even agreed to attend the gathering of fellow villagers.
In his eyes, Chen Yi’s hometown gathering was just a cover, and men can’t deceive other men.
"Friends, just ordinary friends..." Su Jiaojiao bit her lip and replied. Her hand was held tightly by him, and her body was also imprisoned against the tree trunk. This posture made her embarrassed. "Let me go, I want to go back to the dormitory."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips. The familiar yet unfamiliar breath surrounded her unscrupulously. After a moment, he stopped panting slightly and asked her in a hoarse voice: "What about now?" Su Jiaojiao was dizzy from his kiss and even felt suffocated: "Lu Jingyou, you bastard..."
"I like you, and you have me in your heart too." Under the dim light of the street lamp, Lu Jingyou looked at her tender and tempting lips, "Why are you avoiding this relationship?"
"Mr. Lu, you misunderstood. You are not in my heart at all. Let's keep our distance from each other from now on!" Su Jiaojiao pushed him away and ran away.
Lu Jingyou stood there until her figure disappeared behind the dormitory building, then he turned and walked out. The sweet taste of orange juice between her lips and teeth seemed to still linger at the corners of his lips.
Halfway through the journey, his cell phone rang. It was Lin Manli calling: "Jingyou, why didn't you go home after returning from Guangzhou? Come back quickly. I have something to tell you."
"I understand." Lu Jingyou agreed.
Bai Moli was there too. When she saw Lu Jingyou coming back, she was surprised and said, "Cousin, you are finally back. I haven't seen you for half a year."
Lu Jingyou nodded at her expressionlessly, put down the bag in his hand, went into the bathroom and slammed the door.
Bai Moli was disappointed and sat back on the sofa in disappointment.
Lin Manli came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of porridge: "If your cousin doesn't come back, my porridge will get cold. He has loved drinking red bean and millet porridge since he was a child."
"Auntie, I like to drink it too." Bai Moli said to Lin Manli coquettishly, "You won't forget me, will you?"
"You little nagging idiot, how could I forget you? I can have as many bowls as you want." Lin Manli went to the kitchen and scooped out two more bowls. "When Aunt Wang got off work, she specifically told me to finish it today. If I leave it overnight, the taste will deteriorate."
Lu Jingyou took a shower, dried his hair, changed into his home clothes, and walked out. He sat on the sofa and didn't want to move. He had no appetite either. "I've already eaten. Let's drink tomorrow!"
"You haven't eaten at home for a long time." Lin Manli sat down next to her son and began to ask him about Yan Xuewei. "Jing You, have you contacted Yan Xuewei recently?"
"No." Lu Jingyou stood up, picked up a book from the bookshelf, and flipped through it casually. "Why should I contact her?"
"Jingyou, I've told you many times that your relationship with Yan Xuewei was your grandfather's idea, and Yan Xuewei is also willing. You shouldn't always avoid her." Lin Manli advised him earnestly, "You keep saying that you have no feelings for her, but you should know that feelings can be cultivated."
"But I don't want to develop a relationship with her, so there's no need for us to meet." Lu Jingyou continued to flip through the pages. "I've already told my grandfather about this. He always says that a forced melon won't be sweet. So, please stop making trouble."
"What do you mean by joking?" Lin Manli was unhappy. She glanced at Bai Moli and coughed lightly, "Jing You, I didn't want to ask about your affairs outside, but if you alienate Yan Xuewei just because of a temporary novelty, you will regret it sooner or later."
"Mom, what do you mean?" Lu Jingyou put down the book.
"Cousin, what's wrong with your hand?" Bai Moli was sharp-eyed and saw the bite marks on the back of Lu Jingyou's hand at a glance. It was definitely not bitten by a man, it must be a man or a woman.
Could it be Su Jiaojiao?
No way?
"Oh, who bit you?" Lin Manli also saw it. She was about to take a closer look when Lu Jingyou calmly rolled up his sleeves and said, "It was an accident."
"Jingyou, did you go to see that Su Jiaojiao just now?" Lin Manli asked him seriously.
