Chapter 86 Coaxing
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he chuckled, "At least you have some self-awareness."
Listen to what they're saying.
Shi Nianzhi angrily pulled the blanket over her head, turned around, and said to Lu Jiunian with her back to him, "Then you can sleep by yourself."
Lu Jiunian squatted down and reached out to pinch Shi Nianzhi's ear. "If I leave, you won't cry, will you?"
Shi Nianzhi slapped Lu Jiunian's hand away. He covered his ears and asked in a muffled voice, "Where did you go today?"
This man often stays out all night and his whereabouts are uncertain.
But you can't say it or ask it.
Even so, the man still wanted to control him in every way, forbidding him from staying out all night or occasionally wandering off.
That's really domineering.
Lu Jiunian then asked, "Isn't your birthday coming up soon?"
Shi Nianzhi used to not celebrate her birthday much, just a simple bowl of longevity noodles and two eggs, so she never really cared about it.
Hearing Lu Jiunian say this, he then asked, "What's the date on the lunar calendar today?"
"August 6th."
"Isn't the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday coming up soon?"
His birthday is the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, August 16th.
"Yes, your monthly exams are coming up soon."
"If I get the lowest score in my grade, will you hit me?"
What do you think?
"Please, don't hit me, okay? I've tried so hard, but I'm just not cut out for studying. I just can't learn it."
"I don't want to talk about these things right now."
Lu Jiunian got up and kicked Shi Nianzhi's blanket. "Go to bed. It's getting cold, and the floor is chilly."
"I'm afraid of getting infected..."
"You think you can modify my excellent genes?"
"That makes some sense."
Shi Nianzhi carried his small blanket and headed towards the bedroom. "You're not fully recovered yet. The doctor told you to rest more, you know that, right?"
His meaning was clear, and it couldn't be clearer.
As soon as Shi Nianzhi finished speaking, he was pressed against the door.
The man said in a low voice, "You should practice more in everything you do. What do you think of my suggestion?"
Shi Nianzhi blushed with embarrassment after being teased. He put his hands behind his back, pressed the doorknob, pushed it open, and ran into the room.
They escaped this ambiguity and danger.
Lu Jiunian straightened up, a faint smile curving his lips.
Shi Nianzhi lay on the bed, turning over in distress.
If Lu Jiunian comes out of the bathroom in a while, should he cooperate or not if he wants to?
If he cooperates, he definitely won't be able to get up tomorrow, since it's so late.
If you don't cooperate, it's as if he can refuse you.
Shi Nianzhi rested his arm behind his head and sighed softly.
Suddenly, his phone rang, startling him.
Who would call him so late?
Shi Nianzhi quickly took out her phone and glanced at it, only to realize that it wasn't her phone.
The sound of water was still coming from the bathroom.
Shi Nianzhi reached out and took Lu Jiunian's phone. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number.
He accepted it.
There was no response for the time being.
The other party spoke first, "Third Master, you left your watch with me. I delivered it to your door. Come and get it."
Shi Nianzhi drew back the floor-to-ceiling curtains and saw a bright red sports car parked outside the villa. Ding Qianqian was leaning against the car, looking down and talking on the phone.
"Third Master, are you listening?"
"......"
Shi Nianzhi didn't answer; he simply hung up the phone.
Then, while Lu Jiunian was taking a shower, Shi Nian went downstairs.
His idea was simple: it's just a watch, he could just go down and get it, saving Lu Jiunian the trouble of going down in the middle of the night to meet Ding Qianqian.
Every time Shi Nianzhi sees Ding Qianqian, he feels a sense of defeat because Ding Qianqian is very good at dressing up and also uses some tricks. In Shi Nianzhi's eyes, Ding Qianqian is a mature and seductive bottom.
Looking at myself, I am nothing.
It's like a primary school student encountering a seasoned veteran in the workplace—how can they possibly fight back?
We can't win.
Moreover, he disliked Ding Qianqian seducing Lu Jiunian. He would get angry and jealous. He wasn't that generous, especially when he sensed hostility from the other party.
Although his father taught him to be kind to others, Shi Nianzhi still had a possessive streak when it came to relationships.
He opened the door and went out.
Without the protection of home, the night wind blew against my thin pajamas, making the hem flutter.
It's still a bit chilly.
Shi Nianzhi said with a stern face, "I'll get the watch."
"Oh, here you go."
Ding Qianqian handed the watch to Shi Nianzhi so generously, without even asking a single question.
Shi Nianzhi frowned. "How did it break?"
He pointed to the broken watch strap, looking somewhat puzzled.
"It was probably too intense before, and I accidentally tore it."
Shi Nianzhi pursed his lips, then looked up at Ding Qianqian, "What do you mean?"
"Don't you know what I mean? I thought you understood."
Explain clearly.
Ding Qianqian shrugged. "If a man leaves his watch with another man, it doesn't mean they were just chatting under the covers. You look quite young and innocent. Could it be that he hasn't touched you yet?"
The last word made Shi Nianzhi frown deeply. He seemed unable to understand why Ding Qianqian would speak so recklessly.
What upset Shi Nianzhi even more was that, according to Ding Qianqian, Lu Jiunian didn't go home because he went to Ding Qianqian's bed.
Luckily, when that man asked him if his birthday was coming up, he was still hoping that Lu Jiunian was planning to give him a surprise and celebrate his birthday with him.
That's how it's portrayed in TV dramas and novels, isn't it? You need to prepare in advance.
Shi Nianzhi tightened her grip on the watch, "Do you have any evidence to back up your unsubstantiated claims?"
Why would I lie to you? Don't you know what kind of man you have? If you don't believe me, go back and ask him.
Ding Qianqian glanced coldly at Shi Nianzhi. Looking at the seemingly harmless, easy-to-manage, and timid person in front of him, he figured that even if he had ten times the courage, Shi Nianzhi wouldn't dare to openly question Lu Jiunian.
He can only sulk in private.
Go ahead and get angry. The angrier he gets, the more he'll give Lu Jiunian the cold shoulder. The more he gives Lu Jiunian the cold shoulder, the less Lu Jiunian wants him and the less he'll go home.
Tsk tsk tsk, Ding Qianqian's wishful thinking is really getting in the way.
Lu Jiunian doesn't go home every day, which gives him the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
And even if this incident hadn't strained their relationship, he still had a backup plan.
Shi Nianzhi gripped the watch tightly in his hand and told Ding Qianqian earnestly, "I will find out."
Ding Qianqian: "???"
ha?
What?
Seeing that Shi Nianzhi was about to leave, Ding Qianqian stopped her, "You really dare to ask? People usually turn a blind eye to these kinds of things. Who's as honest as you? Do you even know how to please a man?"
“My mom says that you have to discipline your own man. He doesn’t have to be good or rich, and he can be a little stupid and clumsy, but loyalty is the bottom line of love and marriage. I have to find out clearly that if he has a relationship with you, I will divorce him and let you two be together.”
Ding Qianqian suddenly let go of Shi Nianzhi again. Although he had lied to Shi Nianzhi, Shi Nianzhi was so ungrateful as to question Lu Jiunian.
Did you think you could get away with it?
Ding Qianqian looked at Shi Nianzhi's retreating figure and smiled disdainfully.
She married into a wealthy family from the countryside and still dreams of equality. What makes her think she can achieve equality?
Lu Jiunian is the only one who can play with Shi Nianzhi. Shi Nianzhi dares to resist, but she just has a face that looks so similar to Lu Jiunian's. The stand-in dares to ask for this and that.
With a personality like that, she'll be dumped sooner or later.
bedroom.
Lu Jiunian had just walked out of the bathroom when he ran into Shi Nianzhi, who was returning.
"Where did you go?"
"When I saw Ding Qianqian, he said your watch was with him. He said that if a man's watch is left with another man, it's not like they were just chatting under the covers. I just want to ask, did you and him have anything going on?"
Lu Jiunian suddenly reached out and lifted Shi Nianzhi's chin. He observed Shi Nianzhi's jealous expression with a faint smile in his eyes, as if he found it quite novel.
After a long pause, he said calmly, "No, Ding Qianqian fell into the water, and I saved him. I forgot my watch when I was changing clothes at the hotel. Where is it?"
"How did he fall into the water so late?"
Lu Jiunian gave a simple or perfunctory answer: "He lost the game and can't swim."
Why did you save him?
"Is it wrong to do good deeds? Or do you think I'm that bad? That I'm capable of any evil?"
"Doing good deeds is acceptable."
Shi Nianzhi sat on the soft bed, looking up at Lu Jiunian. "The kind of relationship I want is simple: loyalty. I'm not smart, Lu Jiunian. If you have other ideas outside, you must tell me, and I won't bother you. Just don't lie to me."
Lu Jiunian sat down next to Shi Nianzhi and put his arm around her waist. "I'm not lying to you. I don't feel anything for anyone else. Only you can make me hard."
Shi Nianzhi's ears turned slightly red, and it felt as if the heavy weight on her heart had finally been lifted.
"Tomorrow I'm going to tear Ding Qianqian's mouth apart, so he won't dare spout nonsense in front of you. Where's the watch?"
Lu Jiunian seemed to care a lot about the watch, and kept asking about it.
Shi Nianzhi stretched out his hand.
Lu Jiunian held Shi Nianzhi's hand very gently.
Shi Nianzhi opened his hand, and the watch lay quietly in his palm.
Lu Jiunian reached out to take it, and when he discovered that the watch strap was broken, his face suddenly darkened.
"How did it break?"
"The relationship was broken when Ding Qianqian gave it to me."
How dare he?
The man's dark eyes looked at Shi Nianzhi with such calm and rationality that it instilled an instinctive fear in her.
Shi Nianzhi couldn't understand where Lu Jiunian's anger came from, as if he wanted to devour him.
He lowered his head slightly before saying, "Why are you so sure Ding Qianqian wouldn't dare? Did I break it? Do you think I have that much strength? What's wrong with this watch that you care so much?"
