When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 28

The registration went smoothly, and Ji Heyuan and the others also chose the clubs they wanted to join.

Since today was just registration and the interviews would have to wait a few more days, the group had nothing to do after filling out the registration forms.

Ji Heyuan rubbed her stomach. “We haven’t eaten together yet. It’s still early, so how about we go out for a meal?”

Fu Xihe and the others naturally had no objections.

Jiang Jiang thought that Ji Xu’an wasn’t around anyway, so she happily agreed to her suggestion.

There were subway and bus stations near S University, making it easy to go anywhere.

It was Jiang Jiang’s first time riding the subway, and she followed closely behind Ji Heyuan like a curious baby.

Ji Heyuan knew that she probably hadn’t ridden the subway before, so she tugged on Jiang Jiang’s sleeve and spoke softly in her ear, patiently teaching her how to buy tickets step by step.

“There are physical tickets in the subway station. You buy a ticket to whichever station you want to go to.” Ji Heyuan stood in front of the ticket vending machine, gesturing for Jiang Jiang to look at the route map on the electronic screen. “We’re here now, and the route is like this. You can buy tickets to the stations behind.”

“You have to first determine where you’re going, and you must not take the wrong train.”

Jiang Jiang nodded repeatedly, her small expression particularly serious. “I understand roughly.”

Ji Heyuan suddenly had a strange sense of accomplishment. Although it was just a small thing for her, being watched by Jiang Jiang with that kind of admiring gaze made Ji Heyuan feel inexplicably proud.

“If you don’t want to buy physical tickets, you can also buy tickets directly on your phone.”

The S City subway operation had a dedicated APP. Ji Heyuan took Jiang Jiang’s phone, downloaded the software for her, and then had Jiang Jiang register with her phone number.

“Think of a password yourself.”

Jiang Jiang used the pinyin of her name without thinking. Since she learned pinyin, all her passwords had been this.

Just as Jiang Jiang clicked confirm, Ji Heyuan suddenly said faintly from the side, “What an ordinary password, it’s easy to guess.”

Jiang Jiang: …

“Xiao Yuan.” Jiang Jiang said with a face full of accusation, “How can you peek?”

Ji Heyuan said confidently, “How can this be called peeking? I saw it openly. Who told you to be short? I saw it as soon as I lowered my head.”

Jiang Jiang snorted unhappily, and couldn’t help but secretly stand on tiptoe, feeling that she wasn’t much shorter than Ji Heyuan.

Ji Heyuan laughed so hard. “Standing on tiptoe is useless. It’s better to drink more milk, maybe you can grow a few more centimeters.”

Jiang Jiang became angry and embarrassed, and refused to pay attention to her.

She could find reasons to refute Ji Heyuan for all the other questions, but she couldn’t argue with this one. The Ji sisters both had slender and well-proportioned figures. Not to mention Ji Xu’an, even Ji Heyuan was taller than Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang had secretly compared, and her head only reached Ji Heyuan’s ears.

Damn it!

Jiang Jiang thought rather maliciously, what’s the use of being tall, lightning will strike the tall ones first.

Ji Heyuan bent her fingers and knocked on Jiang Jiang’s head. “What bad ideas are you thinking in your heart again? It’s useless. My sister is even taller than me. Those things you’re thinking about will happen to her first.”

Jiang Jiang covered her head, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction. “Xiao Yuan, how can you be so disrespectful?”

Ji Heyuan rolled her eyes. “Aren’t you the one who’s disrespectful? Don’t forget, I’m a few days older than you.”

Ji Heyuan felt ashamed for her suspicion this noon. How could she think that a naive person like Xie Jiang Jiang would understand what it meant to sow discord? Even if she suspected herself, she shouldn’t suspect Xie Jiang Jiang.

The two of them were joking back and forth, while Fu Xihe and the others covered their mouths and snickered on the side. Xiao Yuan and Jiang Jiang’s relationship was really good. If Jiang Jiang married Ji Heyuan’s sister in the future, at least they wouldn’t have to worry about the sister-in-law making things difficult for them.

Ji Heyuan helped Jiang Jiang bind her account. “Take this code and scan it at the entrance. Let’s go, you can watch me operate later.”

Jiang Jiang followed behind her, watching Ji Heyuan take out her phone and stick it over, and then the door in front automatically opened.

This reminded her of the elevator in the apartment, which was also opened with an elevator card, similar to Ji Heyuan’s operation just now. So the previous physical ticket and this thing called a QR code had the same effect as an elevator card.

When she saw it when joining the group, Jiang Jiang thought it was some special pattern, specially used for joining groups. She didn’t expect it to have other wonderful uses.

Jiang Jiang felt that she had roughly understood, and then she thought of other things, so she asked Ji Heyuan in a low voice, “Xiao Yuan, can this QR code be used for other things?”

“This is used to take the subway. Different QR codes have different functions…”

Only then did Jiang Jiang know that she had previously thought that paper money was very convenient, but she didn’t expect that everyone hardly used paper money now. When paying, they directly used the QR code on their phone.

In this world, it was very inconvenient not to have a phone – this was especially true among young people.

No wonder Ji Xu’an thought she was lying when she first told her that she didn’t have a phone.

Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but tighten her fingers and hold her phone, feeling that it was even more important.

“Ask me if you don’t understand anything. Don’t worry, I won’t laugh at you.” Ji Heyuan’s gaze towards Jiang Jiang had a kind of inexplicable affection.

“Okay, Xiao Yuan.” Jiang Jiang smiled at her gratefully.

Ji Heyuan looked at the smile on Jiang Jiang’s face, and was dazed for a moment, not even knowing when the subway door opened.

“Let’s go, Ji Heyuan, what are you thinking about?” Yan Ke bumped Ji Heyuan’s shoulder.

Ji Heyuan suddenly came back to her senses, her face flushing red in an instant, and she coughed guiltily. “What, I wasn’t thinking about anything.”

“You’re very suspicious.” Yan Ke narrowed her eyes.

Ji Heyuan felt that the cold sweat on her back was about to come down. She pretended to be calm. “What’s suspicious about me? Don’t talk nonsense.”

Yan Ke smiled and pulled on her sleeve. “Okay, okay, I’m just kidding, let’s go.”

Ji Heyuan followed Yan Ke into the carriage. Jiang Jiang had already found a seat and sat down, seriously fiddling with the software on her phone.

Ji Heyuan gritted her teeth. “Xie Jiang Jiang, why didn’t you wait for me?”

Jiang Jiang raised her head and looked at her in confusion. “Xiao Yuan, don’t be unreasonable.”

It was just a few steps, what was there to wait for?

Ji Heyuan subconsciously avoided her gaze, and then realized that her reaction was too big, so she deliberately glared back fiercely. “You didn’t even save a seat for me.”

She came in, there were no empty seats, and she could only stand in the middle of the carriage.

Jiang Jiang noticed Ji Heyuan’s guilt and attempt to cover it up, and couldn’t help but frown. In just a short while, had something happened that I didn’t know about?

She had doubts in her heart, but she didn’t show it, and didn’t even look at Ji Heyuan more than once, but Jiang Jiang could feel that Ji Heyuan’s gaze had been falling on her, but when she looked up intending to ask Ji Heyuan what it’s about, Ji Heyuan would always look away first, as if she wasn’t the one who had been secretly looking at Jiang Jiang just now.

Jiang Jiang lowered her eyelashes thoughtfully.

After Jiang Jiang lowered her head again, Ji Heyuan turned her gaze to her again. Her expression was very strange, a tangled emotion of horror mixed with incomprehension.

It was really ghostly!

At the moment when she looked at Xie Jiang Jiang, how could she feel that it seemed that being in love with Xie Jiang Jiang was also not bad…

Ji Heyuan even further thought that if Xie Jiang Jiang could be more lively and cute, it would be even more perfect.

Help!

Ji Heyuan suddenly woke up, and was so frightened by her rebellious thoughts that her face almost turned green.

I actually felt that Xie Jiang Jiang should be my wife!

She actually had such an absurd idea!!

Ji Heyuan embarrassedly retracted her gaze, for fear of being noticed by Jiang Jiang.

She remembered that she had previously vowed that she would never like her sister-in-law, and now she felt that her face was twitching in pain.

But Ji Heyuan really felt that she didn’t like Jiang Jiang, or rather, her liking for Jiang Jiang didn’t contain any romantic thoughts, otherwise she wouldn’t have tried so hard to bring Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an together.

But if it wasn’t liking, why would I have such strange thoughts?

Could it be that my brain short-circuited?

Ji Heyuan’s tangled facial features were almost wrinkled into a ball. Yan Ke, who was on the side, couldn’t stand it anymore, and raised her elbow to nudge Ji Heyuan’s arm. “What are you staring at Jiang Jiang for?”

Ji Heyuan immediately retorted loudly, “Who’s looking at her? I, I’m looking in the mirror!”

Yan Ke looked surprised. “If you’re not looking, then why are you so defensive?”

Ji Heyuan pulled on her sleeve and walked to the other side, further away from Jiang Jiang. She covered her mouth with her hand and asked Yan Ke in a very low voice, “What do you think of Xie Jiang Jiang?”

What did she mean?

Yan Ke couldn’t figure out her intention, and tentatively replied, “I think she’s very good. Jiang Jiang is well-behaved and has a good temper.”

Seeing that Ji Heyuan didn’t interrupt her, but only showed a thoughtful look, Yan Ke asked her back, “Do you think Jiang Jiang is not good?”

“It’s not that either.” Ji Heyuan was thinking about how to describe her confusion. “It’s just that, when you look at Xie Jiang Jiang, do you have an impulse to be in love with her?”

Yan Ke was stunned, and after reacting, she quickly waved her hand. “Don’t talk nonsense. I know Jiang Jiang is your little sister-in-law. I won’t have any special thoughts about her.”

She was afraid Ji Heyuan would think she was trying to steal her sister’s partner.

“I know, I’m just asking, it’s okay, answer me honestly, I won’t misunderstand anything.”

Yan Ke was half-believing and half-doubting. “I’ve already said it just now. Jiang Jiang has an outstanding appearance, a gentle personality, and speaks softly. Who wouldn’t want to be in love with such a girl?”

What exactly did Ji Heyuan want to ask?

Ji Heyuan ignored her confusion and quickly captured the key point. “So you also want to be in love with Xie Jiang Jiang, right?”

She felt that her sentence was ambiguous, so she added, “Assuming that Xie Jiang Jiang wasn’t your sister’s fiancée.”

Yan Ke thought for a moment. “Probably, I feel that being in love with Jiang Jiang should be very happy.”

Ji Heyuan heavily breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that others also had such thoughts. It seemed that it wasn’t her who had a problem, but that Xie Jiang Jiang herself would bring others a feeling of wanting to be in love, so the problem was all on Xie Jiang Jiang.

“What exactly do you want to ask? Could it be that you yourself…” Yan Ke said, a horrified expression appearing on her face, and a touch of incredulity floating in her gaze towards Ji Heyuan.

“How is that possible! I’m just helping my sister ask.” Ji Heyuan had already thought of a reason in her mind. “My sister is worried that Xie Jiang Jiang is too popular, she… um, she will have a sense of crisis, you understand?”

Ji Heyuan said the last sentence in a very low voice. Even though Ji Xu’an herself wasn’t present, and she would never know how her sister was spreading rumors about her in front of outsiders, Ji Heyuan still had a feeling of trepidation.

“I see.” Yan Ke suddenly understood, and didn’t have the slightest doubt about Ji Heyuan’s explanation. “That can’t be helped. Who made Jiang Jiang so good-looking? Just that face alone can attract countless suitors.”

“But it’s good that you’re here, you can help her block some gazes.”

In fact, if Yan Ke were to say it, the best way would be to let everyone know that Jiang Jiang already had a partner, but she could see that Ji Heyuan didn’t want everyone to know about her relationship with Jiang Jiang, so she didn’t say this.

It was Ji Heyuan herself who, following Yan Ke’s words, muttered to herself, “How can these people compare to my sister? If they’ve seen my sister, they will definitely feel ashamed…”

Hearing this, Yan Ke also felt a little curious. Linghai Group’s Chairman Ji didn’t like to be interviewed, and there wasn’t much information about her online. Videos were out of the question, and there were only photos of her back.

But according to Ji Heyuan, her sister was only twenty-six years old this year, with delicate and cold beauty, no less than the top beauties in the entertainment industry, and her temperament was even more unique, aloof and noble, always standing out from the crowd like a crane among chickens.

Yan Ke felt that these words had a bit of a personal filter, but they should also be 80% true. Looking at Ji Heyuan’s face, she knew that she was already very beautiful while still slightly green, so her sister definitely wouldn’t be much worse.

This family was all good-looking, it was really unfair to everyone else.

Yan Ke sighed deeply.

After Ji Heyuan solved the major issue in her heart, she relaxed completely, and no longer avoided Jiang Jiang’s gaze. She even smiled at her when Jiang Jiang looked over.

Jiang Jiang: Ji Heyuan definitely has a problem.

…

Before setting off, the group had already discussed it, and everyone unanimously decided to eat hot pot. Ji Heyuan found a highly rated store on Meituan, which was only three hundred meters from the subway station.

Fu Xihe pestered Ji Heyuan and Yan Ke, asking them what they were talking just now. The two refused to say, and Xu Zhen also joined the ranks of questioning. The four of them joked, and unknowingly left Jiang Jiang behind.

Jiang Jiang didn’t speak, only using a gentle and calm gaze to watch them. When they reached the intersection and were about to turn, Jiang Jiang seemingly casually turned her head and glanced behind her, taking a fleeting familiar figure into her eyes.

Her eyes turned cold, and the emotions in her eyes were deep and difficult to discern.

Fu Xihe inadvertently turned her head and captured the coldness on Jiang Jiang’s face, and couldn’t help but be stunned. When she looked over seriously, Jiang Jiang had already returned to her usual well-behaved and gentle self. “What’s wrong, Xihe?”

“Nothing.” Fu Xihe shook her head.

She must have seen it wrong. How could Jiang Jiang have such a cold gaze, devoid of any emotion?

She was the recognized innocent little white rabbit in the dormitory!

“You haven’t been talking, I wanted to see what you were doing,” Fu Xihe explained.

Jiang Jiang quickened her pace and walked alongside her. “I was thinking about something just now, I didn’t pay attention. What were you talking about?”

“Oh, we were talking about…”

Fu Xihe was fooled by Jiang Jiang, and the five of them talked and laughed, their figures quickly disappearing around the corner.

About sixty or seventy meters behind them, Liang Junsheng narrowed his eyes, still recalling Jiang Jiang’s performance just now.

Did Xie Xiao turn her head and look at me?

It shouldn’t be possible. He wasn’t following too closely, and there were a lot of people on this street. The people in front could completely block him, so Xie Xiao shouldn’t have noticed him.

Perhaps I was thinking too much.

…

The environment of this hot pot restaurant wasn’t as quiet and elegant as the one Ji Xu’an had taken Jiang Jiang to before. Its decoration style was more simple, and probably because it was currently meal time, there were quite a few people in the hall.

Ji Heyuan wanted a private room. She didn’t want to sit in the hall, as it wouldn’t be convenient to say anything.

Anyway, it was her treat today, and the young lady wasn’t short of money.

Everyone took turns ordering dishes. Each person in front ordered two or three dishes, and when it was Ji Heyuan’s turn, she added a lot of snacks and desserts.

After ordering the dishes, Ji Heyuan suddenly remembered something. She asked Jiang Jiang, “Xie Jiang Jiang, do you want to drink milk tea?”

Jiang Jiang licked her lips, recalling the sweet taste of milk tea, and her tone became much firmer. “Yes.”

“Then use my phone to order takeout. I don’t want to go out.” After Ji Heyuan finished speaking, she naturally handed her phone to Jiang Jiang.

From beginning to end, she hadn’t thought about letting Jiang Jiang buy it herself, obviously treating Jiang Jiang as a child who couldn’t leave an adult.

Fu Xihe and the others “oh- ed” in amazement, thinking that Jiang Jiang must be a group favorite in the Ji family. Even Ji Heyuan, who had a somewhat spoiled personality, treated Jiang Jiang as a child, let alone Ji Xu’an.

The first two times Jiang Jiang drank milk tea, Ji Xu’an had bought it for her. She only thought it was delicious. Now that it was her turn to choose herself, Jiang Jiang realized that there were so many different flavors of milk tea.

She was simply dazzled.

After finally choosing the flavor she wanted to drink, Jiang Jiang chose the large size without hesitation.

She had to drink the most!

After Jiang Jiang finished choosing, Ji Heyuan handed the phone to the other people. “Take a look at what you want to drink.”

Fu Xihe raised her hand. “Reporting to the young lady, we request to drink some fruit wine, is that okay?”

“Yes! Only children drink milk tea, we’re adults, we want to drink alcohol!” Xu Zhen covered her mouth and smiled, and deliberately glanced at Jiang Jiang. “Little Xie, you should drink milk tea.”

Jiang Jiang snorted lightly. She supported her chin with her hand, and the soft flesh on her cheeks was squeezed slightly, making Xu Zhen feel a little itchy, but Ji Heyuan was also there, so she was too embarrassed to touch her.

Jiang Jiang didn’t notice her restlessness, she liked this relaxed atmosphere very much, and didn’t feel angry even when she was teased, because she knew that they didn’t have bad intentions.

This feeling of being able to talk and laugh freely was really good.

Jiang Jiang was sighing when she heard Ji Heyuan laugh twice. “You don’t know, Xie Jiang Jiang even has to eat the children’s meal when she eats KFC.”

This topic wasn’t going to pass.

Jiang Jiang glanced at her faintly. She was in a good mood now, and rarely didn’t retort to Ji Heyuan.

In the end, only Jiang Jiang chose to drink milk tea, and everyone else ordered fruit wine. If they didn’t have to go back to the dormitory at night, everyone would actually want to drink something with a higher alcohol content.

The things they ordered came up quickly, and everyone took out their phones to take pictures, but Jiang Jiang looked at them blankly.

Was this some kind of special pre-meal ritual?

In order to fit in, Jiang Jiang also took out her phone.

She glanced at Ji Heyuan out of the corner of her eye and saw that she had opened the camera, so she simply followed suit and took a picture of the table full of food.

“Okay, I can edit it and post it on WeChat Moments.” Ji Heyuan was busy editing the picture before she even had time to eat.

So it was to let others see.

Jiang Jiang understood, but she didn’t want to post it on WeChat Moments. Coincidentally, Chu Yueqi asked her what she was doing, so Jiang Jiang sent this photo to Chu Yueqi.

[Jiang Jiang doesn’t eat ginger: Eating with Xiao Yuan and her roommates.]

After replying to the message, Jiang Jiang thought for a moment and sent the same photo to another person.

[Jiang Jiang doesn’t eat ginger: Sister, Xiao Yuan took me out to eat hot pot tonight, have you eaten? ]

She also specially took another photo of the milk tea and sent it to Ji Xu’an.

[Jiang Jiang doesn’t eat ginger: The milk tea was also bought by Xiao Yuan. It’s too sweet, I feel like it’s not as good as the one you bought for me. Well-behaved sitting posture.jpg]

After sending the messages, Jiang Jiang put down her phone and took a big sip of the milk tea, feeling very satisfied.

She didn’t know what was in her mouth, it was soft and a little chewy, so delicious.

As expected of herself, buying such a delicious milk tea the first time she bought it.

Ji Heyuan was still editing the picture and didn’t know that Jiang Jiang, who looked pure and kind on the surface, had just subtly disparaged her to her sister.

…

Ji Xu’an was very busy today. She had to go to the project base for inspection in the morning, negotiate cooperation matters with partners in the afternoon, and attend a social event in the evening. The whole day’s schedule was packed.

But even so, she still took the time to look at her phone in the car.

The work WeChat was handled by the secretary team. Ji Xu’an looked at her personal WeChat.

Jiang Jiang was at the top, followed by the twenty or so messages sent by Ji Heyuan.

Ji Xu’an clicked into Jiang Jiang’s chat interface without thinking, because she knew her sister very well. At most, no more than three of the twenty or so messages she sent were useful.

Ji Xu’an quickly scanned the content sent by Jiang Jiang, and when she saw Jiang Jiang said that the milk tea was not as good as the last time, Ji Xu’an probably didn’t know that the corners of her lips had already raised, she moved her fingers slightly, and typed a reply to Jiang Jiang.

After waiting for a few seconds, confirming that no new messages popped up, Ji Xu’an then exited the chat interface with Jiang Jiang, and clicked on Ji Heyuan’s avatar again.

Ji Heyuan had a lot to say, and Ji Xu’an summarized it, and only one thing made her slightly concerned.

Ji Heyuan said that Jiang Jiang liked Hanfu very much, and heard that the members in charge of recruiting new members of the Hanfu Association were particularly enthusiastic about Jiang Jiang, because Jiang Jiang could comb beautiful hair buns.

Ji Xu’an thought of Jiang Jiang’s delicate handwriting, and the handkerchief that the other party embroidered, and she was not surprised at all, she inexplicably felt that Jiang Jiang should be very beautiful in Hanfu.

Following her heart, Ji Xu’an sent a message to Secretary Zhao, who was far away in China, almost without hesitation.

Secretary Zhao replied to her in seconds.

[Secretary Zhao: Okay, President Ji, I will arrange for someone to send it over as soon as possible.]

Ji Xu’an replied with an “Okay”, then put down her phone and continued to close her eyes to rest.

There were still many things to do today, and she had to cheer up.

…

Inside the hot pot restaurant.

Everyone had almost finished eating, mainly chatting, and occasionally moving their chopsticks.

After Jiang Jiang finished her large cup of milk tea, she also secretly drank a little of Ji Heyuan’s fruit wine.

Her alcohol tolerance was not bad, but she was prone to blushing when drinking, and her small face was flushed, like an overturned rouge box.

Ji Heyuan was not drunk, and while talking to the others, she took a moment to glance at Jiang Jiang. “Xie Jiang Jiang, don’t get yourself drunk, I don’t want to take care of a drunkard.”

Jiang Jiang’s consciousness was very clear, and she said slowly, “I won’t, Xiao Yuan.”

Drunkards always say they are not drunk.

Ji Heyuan rolled her eyes. “You are not allowed to drink anymore.”

In case something happened to Xie Jiang Jiang, she would not be able to explain it to her sister.

Jiang Jiang: “Okay.”

She lowered her head to reply to messages, Ji Heyuan poked her head over, but before she could see clearly, Jiang Jiang vigilantly covered the phone screen.

The more she was like this, the more curious Ji Heyuan became.

“Who are you chatting with?”

Jiang Jiang was like a hamster hiding food, “With Sister, look at your own phone, Sister must have replied to you too.”

Ji Heyuan was skeptical. “Really?”

She opened WeChat and found that the chat interface was still the twenty or so messages she had sent, and her sister hadn’t even replied with an ellipsis.

“Nonsense, you must be lying to me!” Ji Heyuan frowned. “Are you chatting with Chu Yueqi?”

She guessed quite accurately.

But that was just earlier, not now.

Jiang Jiang seemed to reluctantly point the phone screen at Ji Heyuan. “Look for yourself.”

Ji Heyuan:……

Ji Heyuan looked at the familiar avatar, and the new message that showed it was received just one minute ago, and was immediately laughed out of anger.

Okay, okay, so you treat us so differently?

You have time to reply to your wife, but no time to reply to your sister?

“Why!” Ji Heyuan slapped the table and said with gritted teeth, “If Ji Xu’an doesn’t give me an explanation, I will…”

Ji Heyuan thought for a long time, and sadly found that she didn’t seem to be able to do anything to her sister.

Damn it!

Jiang Jiang lowered her eyes and looked at the new message she had just received, and the corners of her lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

It turned out that Ji Xu’an really chose to reply to me first.

Did this mean that I already have a little place in Ji Xu’an’s heart?

…

The others were still chatting, and Jiang Jiang wanted to go to the bathroom, she told Ji Heyuan, and Ji Heyuan didn’t care, just waved her hand.

After solving her physiological needs, Jiang Jiang stood by the sink to wash her hands.

She let the water flow over her fingers, only staring unblinkingly at herself in the mirror, her expression a little dazed, coupled with that flushed face, anyone would think she was drunk.

“Xie Xiao?”

Suddenly someone called her name from the side, Jiang Jiang turned her head to look, and what caught her eyes was Liang Junsheng’s honest and kind face.

“It’s you.” Jiang Jiang’s speech was slow and leisurely.

“I didn’t expect to meet you here, it’s such a coincidence, if I hadn’t come with my roommate, I would have suspected it was intentional.”

Liang Junsheng also put his hand under the faucet. “Are you also here with your roommates?”

“Hmm.” Jiang Jiang tilted her head and thought for a while. “This restaurant is very famous nearby.”

“I also heard it recommended by a senior, and heard that many S University students come here to eat.” Liang Junsheng explained along with her words.

Xie Xiao, this idiot, really didn’t suspect anything, and even took the initiative to find a reason for me.

After Liang Junsheng washed his hands, he didn’t leave immediately, he stood two steps away from Jiang Jiang. “Xie Xiao, have you been drinking?”

As Liang Junsheng spoke, even his eyebrows furrowed.

“I drank a little, what’s wrong?” Jiang Jiang casually flicked the water droplets on her fingertips.

Liang Junsheng’s face was full of worry. “You should drink less, after all, you have to go back to school later. It’s not safe for girls to drink too much at night.”

Jiang Jiang stared at him. “How is it not safe?”

Liang Junsheng didn’t expect her to ask this, shouldn’t Xie Xiao be moved by my concern for her?

Everyone knew this kind of thing, why did she have to say it?

Was Xie Xiao pretending not to understand?

Liang Junsheng looked at Jiang Jiang with suspicion, and his voice lowered a little. “You might encounter some people with ulterior motives.”

Jiang Jiang still didn’t seem to understand. “What are people with ulterior motives?”

Liang Junsheng didn’t know what to say, did he have to say it so clearly, if he said it, would Xie Xiao think he was flirting with her?

Seeing that he didn’t answer, Jiang Jiang continued to ask: “Are you a person with ulterior motives?”

Liang Junsheng’s heart tightened fiercely, and at that moment, he had a sense of panic that he had been seen through, he almost thought that Jiang Jiang had guessed what he wanted to do.

“I’m just concerned about you, I don’t have any extra thoughts.” Liang Junsheng said, while taking two steps back. “You really misunderstood me, Xie Xiao.”

He saw that Jiang Jiang was still silent, only using a pair of clear black and white eyes to quietly looked at him.

Looking at Jiang Jiang, Liang Junsheng somehow felt a long-lost sense of nervousness.

He originally wanted to say something, but now he didn’t plan to say it, so as not to alert Jiang Jiang.

“My roommate is still waiting for me, I’ll go first, Xie Xiao.”

After Liang Junsheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. After taking a few steps, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Jiang again. Jiang Jiang was still standing there staring straight at him.

“I’m serious, you should go back early, I’ll see you later.” After Liang Junsheng left these words, he strode away.

Jiang Jiang looked down at the remaining water stains on her hands, and chuckled very lightly.

When she returned to the private room again, Ji Heyuan and the others were already planning to leave.

“Why did you go for so long?” Ji Heyuan asked her.

Jiang Jiang didn’t hide it from her. “I met a junior high school classmate and chatted for a few words.”

“That’s quite a coincidence.” Ji Heyuan didn’t think much about it. “Let’s go, Xihe and the others want to go to sing karaoke, are you going?”

It was only 8:30 in the evening, which was still early for Ji Heyuan, but Jiang Jiang already felt a little tired.

“I won’t go.”

Ji Heyuan nodded. “That’s fine, after all, it’s not safe for you to go back alone if you play too late.”

The group walked out with their bags. Ji Heyuan went to the front desk to pay the bill, but the other party told her that someone had already paid the bill for them.

“Who is it? How inexplicable.” Ji Heyuan frowned.

Jiang Jiang heard the other party say that the person who paid the bill for them was a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a white shirt, and she immediately understood.

“Xiao Yuan, it should be my junior high school classmate who helped pay the bill.”

Ji Heyuan ah-ed. “That’s so embarrassing, I said I would treat you to dinner.”

“It’s okay.” Jiang Jiang said with a smile, “Let him pay if he wants to, anyway…”

“Hmm?” Ji Heyuan didn’t hear the words behind, “What did you say?”

“It’s nothing, let’s go.”

Jiang Jiang pushed Ji Heyuan’s arm. “I will go and thank him.”

“Okay then, consider this your treat, and I’ll treat you to dinner next time.” Ji Heyuan didn’t dwell on this issue, she even thought that Jiang Jiang’s junior high school classmate was quite nice, and very generous.

Although it wasn’t much money, after all, they didn’t know each other.

Because she was going to have dinner with Ji Heyuan and the others, Jiang Jiang had the driver go back first. She originally wanted to take the subway back to the apartment by herself, but she didn’t expect that as soon as she walked out of the hot pot restaurant, she saw a familiar car parked at the door.

Ji Heyuan also saw it. “I was still afraid that it wouldn’t be safe for you to go back alone, okay, now I can rest assured.”

Jiang Jiang didn’t say that the person wasn’t called by her, she got into the car, rolled down the car window and waved to the others. “I’m going back first.”

“Bye, Jiang Jiang .” Everyone also waved to her.

The car window went up, and Jiang Jiang asked the driver sitting in the front row, “How did you know I was here?”

“President Ji called me and asked me to come here to pick you up.” The driver replied.

Jiang Jiang reopened WeChat, and the content of the two people’s conversation remained on the little rabbit expression she sent, and the previous message was Jiang Jiang telling Ji Xu’an that she was ready to go back, and Ji Xu’an replied with an “Okay”.

From beginning to end, Ji Xu’an didn’t ask me which restaurant she was eating at, so how did she know where I was?

Jiang Jiang looked at the two people’s chat content from beginning to end again, and finally she clicked on the picture she sent at the beginning, and only after zooming in did she see that the name of the hot pot restaurant was printed on the dishes.

Jiang Jiang couldn’t help but admire Ji Xu’an’s carefulness.

It turned out that there was such a big difference between caring and not caring. If it had been before, Ji Xu’an would definitely not have cared about her.

But now, even if she didn’t say it, Ji Xu’an would take the initiative to arrange everything for her thoughtfully based on the information she revealed.

Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that it was because Ji Xu’an was really worried about her safety.

But Ji Xu’an’s behavior itself could already reveal the softening in her heart.

Her work seemed to be very busy, but even when she was so busy, Ji Xu’an still took the time to arrange things for her, which was already very telling.

Jiang Jiang hugged her phone and leaned against the car window, with a faint smile on her face.

It was less than nine o’clock when she got home, Jiang Jiang turned on the lights in the house, and when her gaze swept across the living room, her expression suddenly became a little stagnant.

Someone had been in the house.

Jiang Jiang instantly became vigilant, had a thief been here?

Relying on her own ability to protect herself, Jiang Jiang casually took a decorative wooden ornament from the partition shelf, held it in her hand as a weapon, and then checked the situation in each room, even opening each cabinet to check.

When she checked the cloakroom, Jiang Jiang suddenly froze.

The originally empty wardrobe was now crammed full, and the extra clothes were all familiar styles to Jiang Jiang.

It was a wardrobe full of Hanfu, mostly ruqun, and also gold-woven horse-faced skirts.

Jiang Jiang also found a large box in the cloakroom, she opened it and took a look, and inside was gold and silver jewelry.

This must have been sent by someone Ji Xu’an ordered.

Jiang Jiang looked at the things in this room. She had had more and better clothes and jewelry, but these were after all sent by Ji Xu’an, and the meaning was somewhat different.

Jiang Jiang took a picture and sent it to Ji Xu’an.

[Jiang Jiang doesn’t eat ginger: Sister, are all these things for me?]

A moment later, Ji Xu’an replied to her.

[Sister: Yes, Xiao Yuan said you like them.]

I liked them, so she bought them for me?

It was indeed very much in line with Ji Xu’an’s style.

[Jiang Jiang doesn’t eat ginger: Thank you, Sister! I really like them!]

[Jiang Jiang doesn’t eat ginger: It’s just that I was startled when I got home just now, I thought a thief had broken into the house.]

Jiang Jiang sent a crying expression along the way.

She thought that Ji Xu’an might comfort her with a few words, but Jiang Jiang didn’t expect Ji Xu’an to directly give her a video call.

When the call application popped up, Jiang Jiang was startled, and she somewhat unskillfully chose to answer.

In the next second, Ji Xu’an’s cold and aloof face appeared on the screen.

Her thin lips parted slightly. “Sorry, I forgot to tell you in advance.”

Ji Xu’an was apologizing to me!
