Chapter 36 I Like You
Mu Guangcheng looked at the door, frowning. "Who is it, so arrogant, daring to kick down my door? Are they looking for death?"
When Shi Nianzhi saw Mu Guangcheng about to get up, he was so frightened that he quickly went over and grabbed Mu Guangcheng's arm.
"Let me handle this."
"You know him?"
Shi Nianzhi's face paled slightly. "Mm."
Mu Guangcheng sat back in his chair, raising an eyebrow. "Was it that man?"
Shi Nianzhi nodded, afraid that Lu Jiunian would really kick down Mu Guangcheng's door.
Shi Nianzhi walked over and opened the door.
Lu Jiunian was followed by several bodyguards in black suits, who looked to be about 1.9 meters tall and were all very muscular.
Shi Nianzhi timidly met Lu Jiunian's gaze, only to find the other looking at him coldly.
He was so frightened that he took a step back.
"You think you're so tough? You dared to jump from the second-floor balcony? You've been playing me for a day?!"
Despite his best efforts to suppress it, his voice was still full of hostility.
Lu Jiunian noticed the bandages on Shi Nianzhi's face and neck, and he wanted to reach out and lift his chin to see his injury.
Before her fingers even touched the other person's fair face, Shi Nianzhi was already trembling with fear and took a step back. Then she took several more steps back and hid behind Mu Guangcheng.
After dodging for a moment, he felt that he shouldn't involve Mu Guangcheng in this matter, so he quickly moved back and defensively shrank into the corner.
Mu Guangcheng still had a scallion pancake in his mouth. Seeing this, he took a big bite and held the pancake in his hand.
Lu Jiunian was about to come and arrest Shi Nianzhi.
Mu Guangcheng stood up, pressed his hand against Lu Jiunian's chest, and said while chewing on a biscuit, "Let's talk this out. Don't hit him. Look how small and skinny he is. One punch from him and you'll cripple him. Can you calm down?"
Lu Jiunian lowered his eyes, his gaze cold as he looked at Mu Guangcheng's hand on his body.
Mu Guangcheng felt intimidated by his gaze, and withdrew his finger with an awkward laugh, continuing to eat his pancake.
Lu Jiunian looked toward the thin boy in the corner. He had been focused on whether the boy was hurt, but now he noticed that the boy was wearing an apron and his hands were covered in flour under the rolled-up sleeves of his school uniform.
Shi Nianzhi kept his head down, and after a while he noticed that Lu Jiunian was still looking at him. He silently turned his body around and faced the wall.
That way, the man wouldn't come after him.
He was afraid of being burned.
People say that dreams can sometimes be omens.
Lu Jiunian lowered his eyes and looked at the dining table covered with a gray and white checkered tablecloth. There was a plate of freshly made scallion pancakes on the table, which looked quite appetizing.
Just as he was about to reach out, a hand was faster, grabbing a card and stuffing it into his mouth.
It was as if he was afraid someone would take it from him.
Lu Jiunian raised his cold eyes to look at Mu Guangcheng.
Mu Guangcheng smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm hungry."
"He did it?"
Fearing that the conflict between them would escalate, Mu Guangcheng quickly covered for Shi Nianzhi: "Me! I made it! Do you want to try my cooking?"
"I'm not blind."
She went to other men's houses and even cooked for them.
Lu Jiunian's hands, hanging by his sides, tightened slightly, his knuckles cracking. He said coldly, "Shi Nianzhi, get over here!"
Shi Nianzhi stood there pretending not to hear.
The man said in a deep, threatening voice, "I'll count to three."
Shi Nianzhi turned slightly to the side and glanced at Lu Jiunian. "You are not allowed to hit me."
"If you don't come here, I'll go and kill you right now!"
"Here I am."
Shi Nianzhi lowered her head and slowly walked towards Lu Jiunian.
As long as he doesn't get beaten up, he'll have to face him sooner or later.
Just as Shi Nianzhi was about to arrive, Mu Guangcheng grabbed his arm.
Mu Guangcheng looked at Lu Jiunian and said, "I heard from Nianzhi that you two had a fight? Why don't you clarify the issue? There might be some misunderstanding."
Mu Guangcheng was afraid that if Shi Nianzhi really left with Lu Jiunian, he would suffer.
Shi Nianzhi looked earnestly at Lu Jiunian, who nodded.
Lu Jiunian reached out, grabbed Shi Nianzhi's wrist, pulled him into his arms, and hugged his waist tightly.
He stared at Mu Guangcheng with icy eyes, then raised his hand and overturned the dining table in front of him.
"Holy shit!"
Mu Guangcheng caught the two pancakes that flew into the air with quick eyes and hands.
The table was overturned on the ground, and the plates, water glasses, and kettles on it were all broken.
Amidst such jarring sounds, Lu Jiunian practically half-dragged and half-carried Shi Nianzhi away.
Mu Guangcheng still had some sense of loyalty; he chased after them with a pancake in one hand.
He was stopped by two muscular bodyguards.
He coughed lightly, then pretended to be nonchalant as he walked back, slamming the door shut.
The outside world is a bit dangerous!
"It hurts, my wrist hurts."
When Shi Nianzhi was dragged to the gate of the old residential area by Lu Jiunian, his voice was full of grievance and on the verge of tears.
Lu Jiunian shoved him into the car, grabbing his neck. "You went to work as a nanny in another man's house, and at least people outside would respectfully call you Young Master Shi out of respect for me. Is this how you humiliate me?!"
"I, I didn't, I wouldn't dare step on your face."
Lu Jiunian slammed Shi Nianzhi's head into the car seat, saying, "At home, the servants take care of your daily needs, you're driven everywhere, and I give you the best of everything. And what do you do? You're afraid you haven't embarrassed me enough, afraid I haven't been cuckolded enough, so you come here to serve another man!"
The man's expression gradually turned sinister, and he said, "You're not exactly a book lover, are you? You're climbing over the balcony early in the morning to read. So it's because you've fallen for someone else, isn't it?"
No, no!
Shi Nianzhi was terrified by Lu Jiunian's appearance. For some reason, when he looked into Lu Jiunian's eyes, he felt that there was something else mixed in with his anger.
It was as if he was looking at something from across him.
Before Shi Nian could observe him closely, Lu Jiunian raised his hand and tightened his fingers.
Shi Nianzhi's eyes were filled with tears. "Don't squeeze my wrist, it hurts!"
"You'd jump off a building for someone else, and you're afraid of pain?!"
"I don't like him."
Shi Nianzhi looked into Lu Jiunian's eyes, and he said earnestly, "I like you."
Lu Jiunian felt as if he had been struck by something, and the strength in his hand loosened a little.
Shi Nianzhi added, “I ran away because I was afraid you would be angry. I didn’t dare go back because I was afraid you would be angry. You’re always angry, you get angry at the drop of a hat. Many times, I don’t know how to face you.”
Lu Jiunian released Shi Nianzhi, and the anger in his eyes subsided, turning cold and deep.
He looked at Shi Nianzhi with an ambiguous expression, and after a while closed the car door.
He sat in the passenger seat, while Shi Nianzhi sat alone in the back seat, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
He hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Did you really like the person who brought you home last night?"
The confidence that person showed when approaching Lu Jiunian, and the arrogance in his eyes.
At that time, I envied her but could never match her.
