"You men are so self-righteous!" Ning Jiaqi muttered in dissatisfaction.
"We're doing this for your own good!" Lin Chen explained.
"Nonsense! I control my own life! I don't need you to decide for me!"
Ning Jiaqi's anger hadn't completely subsided, so she wouldn't give in easily. Lin Chen sighed and personally poured Ning Jiaqi a glass of her favorite iced, sugar-free cola, even pretending to feed it to her. This calmed Ning Jiaqi down a bit.
"What is the goal you mentioned that you'll achieve within two years? It seems like you have everything you need right now, don't you?" Ning Jiaqi asked curiously.
Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to tell Ning Jiaqi the truth. After all, he had promised Ning Tao that he wouldn't use the Ning family's power to achieve his goals. And if Ning Jiaqi knew all this, how could this fearless "Princess Ning" stand idly by?
"Okay, I'll explain it to you when I have the chance. Anyway, for now..." Lin Chen was interrupted by the senior who had been secretly glancing at him before he could finish speaking.
The senior student had been holding back for a while, and now she finally came over and said something astonishing: "Young man, has your male health problem been cured? Or is it just because you're too tired at night that you've ruined it?"
Lin Chen's face flushed bright red instantly, while Ning Jiaqi across from him remained completely bewildered. The senior student glanced at Ning Jiaqi again, and said with a complicated smile, "I must say, you're quite the ladies' man, aren't you? No wonder you had to go to the urology clinic. Take it easy, you're so young, don't overwork yourself!"
Lin Chen hurriedly grabbed Ning Jiaqi's hand, wanting to help her escape this awkward situation. But Ning Jiaqi was clever and quick-witted; how could she let go of this opportunity to satisfy her curiosity? She immediately asked her senior what had happened.
The senior student didn't answer directly, but instead told them to wait a few more minutes, and they would understand. A sense of foreboding washed over Lin Chen. He quickly activated his perception skill and discovered that this senior student had secretly sent the message to Yang Meixi the moment they entered!
That's right, she actually added Yang Meixi on WeChat! And Yang Meixi said she'd be there right away!
Lin Chen couldn't wait any longer. He gripped Ning Jiaqi's hand tightly and rushed towards the door. But Ning Jiaqi refused to leave, and the senior student, not wanting to miss the show, blocked the doorway, preventing them from leaving!
"Hey senior, aren't you being a bit too enthusiastic?" Lin Chen almost wanted to use his mysterious qigong to slap this enthusiastic senior away!
Ning Jiaqi forcefully shook off Lin Chen's hand, put her hands in her pockets, and said with an arrogant expression, "I'd like to see what kind of show will take place later!"
"Jiaqi, listen to me, it's all a misunderstanding. A madwoman might come in a little while, so please don't listen to her!" Lin Chen explained anxiously.
"Who are you calling crazy?"
Suddenly, the sound Lin Chen least wanted to hear came from outside. Now, Lin Chen's last chance to escape was completely gone.
He clutched his head, wishing he could disappear into nowhere! He'd already exhausted himself explaining Jiang Jiahan's situation to Ning Jiaqi. Now, with the even more troublesome Yang Meixi appearing, wasn't he about to have his throat burn?
However, things are unpredictable. Just when Lin Chen thought that tonight would be exceptionally difficult, an unexpected scene unfolded—Ning Jiaqi and Yang Meixi hugged each other like best friends, chatting and laughing!
What on earth is going on? Lin Chen stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, completely bewildered.
"Jiaqi, I really didn't expect that we would meet again here! Why didn't you tell me sooner? I could have picked you up." Yang Meixi said with a look of surprise and delight.
Ning Jiaqi replied with a smile, "I was admitted here several months ago, but I forgot to tell you."
"You're amazing! You got to come here without even having to take an exam!" Yang Meixi exclaimed enviously.
"No, no, by the way, how have you been lately? Has your older sister been giving you any more trouble?" Ning Jiaqi asked with concern.
It turns out that Yang Meixi and Ning Jiaqi are both wealthy young ladies from prestigious families, and they had known each other for a long time. Because they were the same age, went to the same school since childhood, and both loved music, they quickly became best friends.
Later, because Ning Jiaqi was admitted to university early due to her excellent academic performance, the two were temporarily separated for a period of time. In addition, Ning Jiaqi went to study at the county high school for Lin Chen and was imprisoned by Ning Tao for two months, which resulted in Yang Meixi not knowing Ning Jiaqi's whereabouts.
Now, the two are unexpectedly reunited and are both overjoyed. Lin Chen, however, is caught off guard by this unexpected joy. He originally wanted to sneak away so as not to disturb the two best friends' lively conversation.
Where are you planning to go?
Unexpectedly, the two girls asked in unison, freezing Lin Chen in place.
"Hey, I'll go buy you two milk teas, you guys can chat." Lin Chen chuckled, trying to ease the awkwardness.
However, the two girls immediately shifted their conversation to Lin Chen.
"My senior just told me that my boyfriend was secretly dating a really pretty girl behind my back, and it happened at the same beef noodle restaurant we ate at at noon. So I came here. Jiaqi, I didn't expect that pretty girl to be you!" Yang Meixi said with a hint of jealousy.
"Wait! What do you mean... your 'boyfriend'?!" Ning Jiaqi keenly grasped the key point in the question.
Yang Meixi, in a playful mood, said nonchalantly, "Yes, that's my boyfriend. What's wrong? I forgot to introduce him to you, it's that guy!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Jiaqi was about to explode when Lin Chen swiftly pulled the chair away from Yang Meixi, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Ah, Lin Chen, you've gone mad!" Yang Meixi exclaimed.
"I think you're the one who's gone crazy, aren't you?" Lin Chen didn't want to indulge this third young lady's temper anymore.
Although Ning Jiaqi had some doubts, she didn't completely believe Yang Meixi's words. After all, she knew something about Yang Meixi's sexual orientation. Besides, she had known Yang Meixi for so long, how come she didn't know that Yang Meixi knew Lin Chen before?
"Meixi, stop joking around," Ning Jiaqi said.
"What's wrong? Jiaqi, don't tell me you're jealous. Do you like this guy?" Yang Meixi teased.
“I…” Ning Jiaqi was speechless for a moment.
Yang Meixi brushed the dirt off her bottom as she ran to Ning Jiaqi's side and said, "Jiaqi, are you alright? Are you severely nearsighted? Even if you went to find a blind beggar, it would be better than this kid, right?"
Hearing Yang Meixi's complaints about Lin Chen, Ning Jiaqi finally felt relieved. However, Yang Meixi persisted, saying, "I don't care how this guy tricked you with his sweet talk, I'm telling you, you'll definitely regret it! Especially on your wedding night or when you're in a hotel room, you'll absolutely regret it to death!"
"Shut the hell up!" Lin Chen snapped, raising a chair to smash it over Yang Meixi's head. Why was this Miss Yang so rude?
Ning Jiaqi was amused by Yang Meixi and unconsciously glanced at Lin Chen's lower body, saying thoughtfully, "Meixi, if you put it that way, there's some truth to it. What if this guy is really just all looks and no substance?"
Lin Chen was extremely anxious. He could accept other people questioning him about other aspects, but he absolutely could not tolerate this one thing!
Just as Yang Meixi was feeling smug and Lin Chen was feeling frustrated, Ning Jiaqi finally unleashed her ultimate "move": "Looks like we still need to check the goods beforehand, or... how about tonight?"
The moment those words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze. Even the senior student who had been leisurely munching on sunflower seeds and watching the drama unfold was stunned. She thought to herself, "Young people, they really know how to have fun! I'm definitely getting old!"
Seeing everyone frozen in place as if they had been acupunctured, Ning Jiaqi finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Haha, look at you all, what are you checking? I believe my master's 'skills' will definitely not disappoint me." Her laughter instantly eased the tense atmosphere.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, they would have really thought tonight would be a night of "fierce battles" and great excitement!
