Chapter 122 Liking Without Realizing It
Lu Jiunian sometimes finds Shi Nianzhi's temper really annoying; she's as stubborn as an ox.
He patiently brushed off Shi Nianzhi with a remark, "Your legs are so weak you can barely stand. I'll have the driver take you there tomorrow. Come and sleep."
Shi Nianzhi finished dressing and said, "No need to trouble you."
He opened the door and walked outside.
Lu Jiunian sat up irritably. He had already put up with him enough, and his constant crying and whining had given him a headache. Now he was causing this scene.
I don't know who I'm trying to impress.
The man was so angry that he smashed the water glass on the table that he had just tried to feed Shi Nianzhi, but she refused to drink it.
A sudden surge of anger erupted: "Get the hell out of here!"
The door was open. Upon hearing the sound, Shi Nianzhi didn't stop and quickly went downstairs.
His thermal underwear was wet and he felt cold wearing it. When he went out, Shi Nianzhi took it off and wore only his coat. The zipper was broken, so he wrapped it with one hand.
He sniffed and took out his phone.
There were many missed calls on the screen: Mu Guangcheng's, Su Hengyi's, and finally two from Gu Yuanyuan.
It was already past 2 a.m., and Shi Nianzhi did not call back.
He didn't want to disturb their rest.
Shi Nianzhi put his phone in his pocket, and walked in the cold wind with his wet thermal underwear in his hand.
It's already quite cold in November.
Jiang Kai had just finished his nightlife and was quite drunk. He glanced out the window and then shouted for the car to stop.
When Ding Qianqian, who brought him back, saw Shi Nianzhi outside the car, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
He couldn't hook up with Lu Jiunian, but he finally found an opportunity to send Jiang Kai back. Maybe he could exchange a few sweet words and end up in bed with him. After all, men are easiest to coax when they're half-drunk.
But then another idea popped up and ruined his plans, so Ding Qianqian stepped on the gas and tried to drive over.
Jiang Kai sat up and patted the driver's seat. "I told you to stop the car, didn't you hear me?!"
Ding Qianqian then reluctantly put on the brakes.
Jiang Kai pushed open the car door and ran out. He grabbed Shi Nianzhi's arm and asked, "Zijian, why are you out so late? Did you have a fight with Jiu Nian? Are you in a bad mood?"
Shi Nianzhi shook off Jiang Kai's hand; he really hated being called that by others.
Jiang Kai paused for a moment before realizing what was happening. He said, "Oh, it's Xiao Nianzhi. What are you doing here? Don't walk so fast, wait for me."
What do you want to ask?
Shi Nianzhi suddenly became very angry, and he spoke to Jiang Kai in a slightly hoarse voice.
Jiang Kai was taken aback by his words, "I didn't..."
Shi Nianzhi spoke up, aggressively, "You're siding with Gu Zijian, so you're asking me why I'm here. Because you know all too well how angry Gu Zijian would be if he found out I was here, leaving Lu Jiunian's house in the middle of the night without any clear explanation. You're feeling sorry for Gu Zijian, aren't you? Do you think I wanted to be here?!"
Finally, Shi Nianzhi gritted her teeth and said, "Don't bother me!"
"Why are you so angry? That's not what I meant. It's so cold, where are you going? I'll take you."
"I don't need your help!"
"There are no cars outside, and it's so cold, you'll catch a cold."
"......"
With the next monthly exam approaching, Shi Nianzhi really didn't want to catch a cold, but he eventually wavered.
It does take a long time to get out of here, and even if you do, there are no cars.
He disliked Lu Jiunian, but had no grudge against Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai also helped him a few times.
Seeing that Shi Nianzhi was wavering, Jiang Kai went over, took her arm, and said gently, "Come on, I'll take you. It'll only take a little while."
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Jiang Kai took off his coat and draped it over Shi Nianzhi.
Her voice was gentle. "Your clothes are worn out. Put these on."
Perhaps it was because the coat still had warmth, which was a rare treat for Shi Nianzhi, who was both hungry and cold at that moment.
He didn't refuse; as if he had calmed down, he said, "Thank you."
As Shi Nian got into the car, he said to Jiang Kai, "Take me back to No. 1 Middle School."
"The school probably won't be open this late."
"I can wait for the door to open."
"I'm hungry, let's go get some late-night snacks. Yunjing Villa."
Jiang Kai did not wait for Nianzhi to refuse, and instead instructed Ding Qianqian.
Ding Qianqian was driving with gritted teeth, she really treated him like a driver, even though he was dressed so sexily in such cold weather.
It's all for nothing. Jiang Kai already looked down on him, so now he doesn't even see him anymore.
Yunjing Villa.
As Jiang Kai led Shi Nian out of the car, Ding Qianqian sensibly rolled down the window and said, "Young Master Jiang, I'll wait for you here."
"Um."
Jiang Kai didn't even glance at Ding Qianqian, and coaxed Shi Nianzhi, "Since you're already here, if you're not hungry, just eat a little with me, okay?"
After dinner, Jiang Kai handed the room key to Shi Nianzhi. "Isn't tomorrow the weekend? Your school doesn't have classes on weekends, right? Go to sleep. You look so tired, your eyelids are almost closed. Don't worry, I won't be sharing a room with you."
"I don't need it, you take me back."
"I'm also quite drunk and dizzy, so let's rest here. I've had too much to drink and I'll sleep until midnight tomorrow. After we have a meal, I'll take you home."
Jiang Kai didn't bother to say much to Shi Nianzhi. He found a floor where the room was right across the street, so he swiped his room card and went to sleep.
Shi Nianzhi hesitated for a long time, but finally had no choice but to swipe the swipe to open the door.
Ding Qianqian was so sleepy in the car that she fell asleep fully clothed, only to be woken up by the cold just before dawn.
I opened my eyes to find the entire mountain village shrouded in mist, the streetlights hidden within the fog, appearing so lonely.
Ding Qianqian shivered from the cold and quickly rolled up the car window and turned on the heater.
He crossed his arms and rubbed them together, then gritted his teeth, "What are these two doing? Taking so long for a meal? Could they have gone to a hotel?!"
He tried to stop Jiang Kai, but Shi Nianzhi snatched him away?
Ding Qianqian grew angrier and angrier, and finally cursed viciously, "Damn it!"
He picked up his phone and called Lu Jiunian.
When no one answered, he sent Lu Jiunian a WeChat voice message: "Third Master, last night I was driving Brother Jiang when we ran into Shi Nianzhi. Brother Jiang said he was hungry and wanted to go to Yunjing Villa for dinner. He took Shi Nianzhi in without letting me come with him, and they haven't come out yet. Could it be that the two of them..."
Ding Qianqian paused, then said:
"I don't think Brother Jiang would do that, but if Shi Nianzhi is trying to seduce you, then it's hard to say. After all, you and Young Master Gu are doing well now, so it's understandable that Shi Nianzhi would want to find a backer after breaking up with you."
Ding Qianqian's message disappeared without a trace.
He endured sitting in the car until dawn, but finally couldn't resist the drowsiness any longer. Ding Qianqian went into the resort, slapped her ID card, and said, "Get me a room."
"A king-size bed, sir?"
"Um."
"6888 a night, card or cash?"
Ding Qianqian clicked her tongue in amazement, "So expensive?"
The receptionist gave an awkward yet polite smile.
Ding Qianqian was very concerned about his image and didn't want anyone to look down on him, so he slapped on a credit card and said, "Swipe it for one room."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Ding Qianqian had just left after booking the room.
Someone pushed open the door, and the receptionist, seeing the newcomer, immediately greeted him respectfully, "Third Master."
Lu Jiunian exuded a cold and aloof aura. "Is there a guest named Shi Nianzhi in which room?"
The receptionist checked and shook her head, "No record found."
"Jiang Kai".
"Young Master Jiang is in 609 and..."
Because Jiang Kai booked two rooms, the receptionist hadn't finished explaining.
Lu Jiunian simply reached out his hand and said, "Give me the highest level card."
"yes."
His presence was so strong that the receptionist didn't dare to say anything more and handed over her card.
Lu Jiunian pushed open the door to room 609 and turned on all the lights, making the entire room as bright as day. Jiang Kai was still sleeping soundly on the white bed, and the noise did not wake him up.
He was only wearing a pair of red boxer shorts, and because he was hot, he lay face down on the blanket. Because he was facing the light, he slightly furrowed his brow in his sleep, turning his face to the other side.
Lu Jiunian walked over, grabbed Jiang Kai's hand, pulled him up, and slammed him heavily to the ground.
Jiang Kai's head hurt from the fall. When he opened his eyes, he saw the sole of a leather shoe about to kick him in the face. He reacted quickly, rolled over, and got up.
"who?!"
He was alert and wary. After putting on the bathrobe from the chair, he grabbed the cell phone on the table.
We're about to call for backup.
Looking up, I saw Lu Jiunian's gloomy face.
He took a breath. "It's you."
Where are the others?
"who?"
"Remember this often!"
Lu Jiunian's tone was extremely cold, as if he had come to catch his wife cheating.
Jiang Kai couldn't possibly miss it, but instead of explaining immediately, he smiled, pulled out the armchair, and sank into it.
“Jiunian, you and Zijian are getting married soon. At this crucial moment, you shouldn’t be asking me these three words, let alone coming over in such a rage.”
Where are the others?
Lu Jiunian asked again in a cold voice, as if he was about to hit someone at any moment.
Jiang Kai then said, "It's next door to me."
Lu Jiunian was too lazy to waste words with Jiang Kai, so he turned around and left.
Jiang Kai stared at Lu Jiunian's back and questioned, "You've caused such a scene here. If Zijian finds out, how do you plan to explain it to him?"
"I don't need to explain myself to anyone when I do things!"
"Are you two-timing? Lu Jiunian, this is scumbag behavior!"
Jiang Kai seemed to have reached his limit. He stood up, rushed over, and grabbed Lu Jiunian's arm. "I can't control how many things like this happen in the industry, but you can't do this! You can't betray Zijian. He has loved you for so many years!"
Lu Jiunian grabbed Jiang Kai by the neck and pressed him against the wall.
"My affairs are none of your business. I know what's going on between Shi Nianzhi and me!" she said coldly.
Lu Jiunian pushed Jiang Kai away forcefully and walked out quickly.
Jiang Kai was so angry that he made a phone call to Gu Zijian. He really couldn't tolerate such a scumbag.
"Zijian, I'm sorry to bother you so early. It's something very important. You'd better come and see for yourself. Yunjing Manor, yes."
Lu Jiunian was furious when he pushed open Shi Nianzhi's room door, only to find that the floor lamp next to the bed was on.
Under the soft light, Shi Nianzhi lay asleep on his side, his sleeping face serene.
Lu Jiunian's noisy heart instantly calmed down.
He went into the room and gently closed the door.
