Chapter 86 Playing with Fire
Startled, Bai Zhenzhu immediately turned off her phone and sat up abruptly.
Feeling guilty, she didn't dare look into Shi Jin's fiery eyes, "I was chatting with Jiaxi..."
As Shi Jin walked towards the bed, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Really? I thought it was some random guy!"
Bai Zhenzhu was furious.
"Shi Jin, you need evidence to smear someone! How dare you insult me like this! I love you wholeheartedly right now, and I'm even willing to be your secret lover... I... I... um..."
In the end, Bai Zhenzhu broke down emotionally and burst into tears.
She knew that Shi Jin couldn't stand seeing women cry.
She needs to turn the tide and make Shi Jin feel guilty.
This tactic really worked every time. Shi Jin panicked immediately and rushed forward to hug the person in his arms, gently comforting him, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you. Don't cry, okay?"
"Oh no! I'm going to cry!"
Bai Zhenzhu cried even louder.
"Then hit me twice? Hmm?"
White Pearl blinked her bright eyes, pursed her lips, and shook her head.
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"...Could you please help me get my dad out?"
Bai Zhenzhu has been holding it in for the past two days. She wants to bring this up with Shi Jin all the time, but she just can't find a suitable opportunity.
Now is the best time for Shi Jin to speak, and she must seize the opportunity.
But the expected agreement did not come. Shi Jin suddenly turned cold and said seriously, "Bai Zhenzhu, even my mother couldn't do it, how can you expect me to help?"
"I'm not related to your aunt, so of course she wouldn't go out of her way to help me. But you're different. You're my...boyfriend now, and you'll definitely do everything you can to help me!"
"What would you do if I tried everything I could but still couldn't help you?"
When Shi Jin asked this question, his palms were sweating with nervousness.
He was really afraid that Bai Zhenzhu would say: "Of course I'll leave you immediately!"
But the cunning White Pearl would never say that. She replied understandingly, "As long as you've tried your best, I won't blame you. After all, I like you."
Finally, Shi Jin promised, "Leave this to me, don't worry."
Upon hearing Shi Jin's promise, Bai Zhenzhu's eyes lit up instantly. She stopped crying, hugged Shi Jin, and kissed his chin.
"Shi Jin, thank you, thank you!"
What Bai Zhenzhu didn't notice was that Shi Jin didn't promise when he would rescue her father.
Cases like this can easily drag on for a year or two.
The reason he didn't want to rescue Bai's father immediately was that he knew clearly that once Bai's father was released, Bai Zhenzhu would also leave him without hesitation...
...
"Pearl? It scared me to death last night! I almost called the police, you know?"
As soon as Bai Zhenzhu entered the classroom, Yin Jiaxi pulled her to the back seat and gave her a lecture.
"Jiaxi, why are you so timid? What could possibly happen to me? I can easily handle Shijin!"
"So, Shi Jin doesn't know you went to see your senior last night?"
"They probably don't know..."
"Pearl, I always feel that your current behavior is a bit dangerous. Yesterday, Shi Jin looked like he wanted to eat someone alive. If he finds out that you cheated on him, he'll go crazy!"
"Then I'm still wearing two green hats on my head, where can I go to seek justice? Jiaxi, don't worry about me, once my dad gets out, that scumbag will be completely gone from my life..."
"Can it really be completely effective?" Yin Jiaxi muttered softly.
"Jiaxi, what are you saying?"
"It's nothing, class is about to start, let's get ready..."
...
Three days later.
Su Yizheng happened to have some free time, so he came to the school to pick up Bai Zhenzhu for dinner.
Bai Zhenzhu also gave him the obsidian cufflinks she had carefully selected.
"This is the gift you were talking about?"
"Hmm, I think these cufflinks suit you very well; they're sophisticated and charming. Do you like them?"
"I love it, I love it so much." Su Yi held the cufflinks in his hands, feeling as sweet as honey.
...
The two arrived at a famous private restaurant in Kyoto.
Just a few minutes after they sat down, Li Qianni and Shi Jin entered the restaurant one after the other.
The moment Li Qianni saw Bai Zhenzhu, she immediately took a half step forward and took Shi Jin's arm, looking blissfully happy.
Shi Jin's jawline was taut, his eyes fixed on Bai Zhenzhu and Su Yi, who was rinsing Bai Zhenzhu's bowls and chopsticks across from him.
"Shi Jin, it seems Bai Zhenzhu is getting along very well with her senior!" Li Qianni chimed in, stirring things up.
Bai Zhenzhu was facing the doorway and didn't see Shi Jin come in, so she couldn't hide her emotions in time and laughed heartily in front of Su Yizheng.
"Senior, your joke is so lame!"
"But Pearl, you still laughed, which proves that even though my jokes aren't funny, they're guaranteed to make you laugh!"
Now Bai Zhenzhu smiled even more shyly, her cheeks flushed, as if she had just come out of a hot spring.
Seeing the two chatting happily, Shi Jin felt a surge of jealousy.
He walked up to the two of them, feigning composure, a smile playing on his lips, but his tone clearly betrayed his displeasure.
"I didn't expect to see you here, what a coincidence."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Bai Zhenzhu turned around abruptly and almost gasped when she met Shi Jin's sinister eyes.
Su Yizheng looked at Shi Jin openly and replied politely, "Yes, it's quite a coincidence. Pearl said she wanted to try Cantonese cuisine, so I brought her here."
Shi Jin's lips twitched slightly, and his face darkened.
A strong sense of jealousy swirled in his mind, and even the air was filled with the pungent smell of jealousy.
"So Mr. Su is so considerate. Bai Zhenzhu is really lucky..."
Bai Zhenzhu sensed the sarcasm in those words, but she pretended not to understand and accepted the "praise" with a smile.
"Bai Zhenzhu, do you mind if I share a table with Shi Jin? It'll be more lively with more people!" At this moment, Li Qianni, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, spoke up.
Shi Jin was not angry at Li Qianni for acting on her own initiative, because he had the same idea.
Bai Zhenzhu glanced at Su Yizheng with a troubled expression, and Su Yizheng returned her gaze with a reassuring look, indicating that it was alright.
So Bai Zhenzhu replied, "Of course."
Then Su Yizheng called the waiter over, added two more sets of bowls and chopsticks, and asked Li Qianni to order a few more dishes.
The four people were all very different, and the atmosphere was so awkward that people were practically digging their toes into the ground.
Especially with white pearls, I don't know where to look.
Her phone was still flashing WeChat notifications.
She glanced up slightly and saw Shi Jin sitting diagonally opposite her, calmly typing away...
[White Pearl, do you understand you're playing with fire?]
【White Pearl, I'm giving you three seconds to leave immediately!】
[White Pearl, if you dare look at him even once, I'll take you tonight!]
White pearls, white pearls, white pearls...
Shi Jin is probably insane, and Bai Zhenzhu is truly being driven crazy by him.
"Pearl, your phone has been on the screen. I think someone is trying to contact you on WeChat. Do you want to take a look?" Su Yizheng kindly reminded her.
"No need, I won't use my phone while eating. We'll talk about it after we finish eating."
This is also what Bai Zhenzhu wanted to say to Shi Jin, expressing that she doesn't know how to use her phone, so no matter how many messages he sends, it's useless.
Upon hearing Bai Zhenzhu's words, Shi Jin angrily slammed his phone onto the table and glared at her fiercely.
