Chapter 4, do not change clothes in the living room in the future

Wen Jinliang noticed my unease and reassured me, saying: "I am fine, just recalling some unpleasant past events"

Wen Jinliang released me as she smiled and remarked, "Xiao Qi is indeed a girl..."

Apart from sleeping, she spent almost the entire day by our side. This indirectly led to a significant reduction in the time that group of girls could spend with Wen Jinliang, which made them very unhappy. The girls had caused Shen Xiangxuan some minor troubles a few times, but each time I intervened to resolve the issues.

Shen Xiangxuan heard my words and smiled as she embraced me; her eyes lit up in that moment, as if the clouds and mist had been blown away by the wind, becoming exceptionally clear

It seems that Grandpa Shen Xiangxuan's birthday is approaching, and she has been so busy lately that she hasn't even had time to come to school. However, she sends someone every day to deliver desserts to me

"Xiao Qi, it's so cold outside." Wen Jinliang, seeing that I was ignoring her, suddenly wrapped her arms around herself, revealing a pitiful expression.

However, I do not have enough money to buy the little black bear... My expression of joy dimmed as I recalled the expensive price I had seen earlier

"No, not at all..." I saw Wen Jinliang showing such a worried expression, and I hurriedly raised my head and forced myself to respond with a semblance of spirit

Wow, I never knew that girls could be so terrifying when they lift their clothes

"Xiao Qi, what is wrong with you?" Wen Jinliang immediately asked upon seeing my sudden change in expression

It seems that Wen Jinliang has a greater fondness for Shen Xiangxuan than for other girls, as I have never heard him praise any other girl. Perhaps they could really take that step together

I could no longer hold back and rushed in front of him, covering his eyes with my hand: "You, you must not look anymore..." My tone no longer held the calmness of the past, but was instead filled with tension and shyness

At last, the girls' jealousy erupted one day after school.

I returned to the bedroom holding the bag, took a hot shower, and then immediately fell into a deep sleep; today has been truly exhausting

The next day, I conveyed Wen Jinliang's words to Shen Xiangxuan. She did not have a significant reaction, only regretfully took back her clothes, and then sent some freshly made desserts for me to take back.

That day, after school, Shen Xiangxuan, who went to the restroom alone, did not return. Wen Jinliang and I waited for quite a while, and soon we sensed the seriousness of the situation in each other's eyes

I drank all the water in the cup in one go, and I felt warmth in my heart. Once my emotions settled a bit, I said to Wen Jinliang, who was sitting across from me and continuing to dry her hair, "I didn't manage to get the little black bear..."

I went to see what was happening. I told Wen Jinliang not to wander around here, and then I turned and ran towards the restroom

I apologize... I awkwardly express my regret. It must be that my earlier words reminded him of some unpleasant past.

This baseless speculation fills me with panic. Is my desire for the little black bear rooted in love? No, the master has said that we are devoid of love

"Xiao Qi, you really don't need to worry about me, because when you're not around, I go and bother He. Or are you still concerned about He?" Wen Jinliang looked at me with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Today, she is wearing a light blue long dress, with her long hair cascading down her shoulders, and a subtle makeup enhancing her delicate features. When she stands next to Wen Jinliang, the guests genuinely express their admiration.

That's good. I forgot to tell you before. From now on, the desserts I give you must never be eaten by Jin Liang! When Shen Xiangxuan said this, her expression was very serious

After receiving my assurance, Shen Xiangxuan smiled contentedly and then took my hand as we walked out of the school gate: "In another month, it will be my grandfather's birthday celebration. Come with me to buy a gift."

When Wen Jinliang said that I should protect Shen Xiangxuan, my heart felt as if it had been suddenly pricked by a needle, causing me to tremble slightly

I was originally quietly listening to Wen Jinliang's words, feeling happiness and contentment in my heart due to his thoughtful actions, and my face involuntarily revealed a smile because of what he said. However, when I heard him say, "a good girl," my face suddenly stiffened. I looked at him for a long time before speaking: "Thank you for thinking of me... Xiang Xuan is indeed a good girl, and she has taught me a lot of practical knowledge..."

I inadvertently caused Wen Jinliang to suddenly change his expression; his face turned cold in an instant, but soon returned to its usual gentle demeanor, as if bathed in the warmth of spring.

Wen Jinliang looked at me with a smile but said nothing, and I suddenly realized: "Will there come a day when I will like someone just as I like the little black bear?"

Wen Jinliang slowly relaxed her brows: "That allergy is actually not a big deal, just avoid eating too much. As for desserts, I really don't like them, but having a piece occasionally won't hurt."

"It's delicious, would you like to try some?" I instinctively picked up a pastry from the plate and offered it to Wen Jinliang, but then suddenly remembered something and took it back. "I forgot, you can't eat this."

I recall Shen Xiangxuan's compliment to me: "Xiao Qi, your skin is fair, your face is delicate, and you look absolutely stunning in this outfit. If I were a boy, I would definitely fall in love with you..." However, at that time, I was so exhausted that I didn't really take a good look at myself in the mirror. Now, I am rather curious about how I look in this outfit.

Wen Jinliang allowed me to cover his eyes, his deep voice like aged fine wine intoxicating: "Even if you cover my eyes, Xiao Qi, your beautiful figure is still vividly imprinted in my mind." After saying this, he removed my hand.

"Xiao Qi, you always say things that make people's hearts flutter with such seriousness, yet you remain completely unaware of it. This is truly exasperating," Wen Jinliang said with a full smile, as if complaining.

If my desire for the little black bear stems from love, then I should no longer think about it, nor should I possess it. I sighed heavily in my heart, recalling Wen Jinliang's warm smile, and slowly closed my eyes to drift off to sleep

I shouted with all my might, and then ran towards their direction as fast as I could with the crane

Wen Jinliang, however, trembled with laughter at my words, and after a long while, he finally stopped laughing and said: "I certainly do not have night vision as good as yours, Xiao Qi. Rest assured, I did not see anything."

I stood there in a daze, instinctively turning away to avoid looking at them. Suddenly, a certain part of my heart ached, and even I could not understand the source of this pain. Was it because my friend Xiang Xuan was being bullied, or was it due to Wen Jinliang's incredible tenderness?

I let out a sound of "oh" and said, "It's good that you are fine"

At this moment, I seemed to have lost my ability to speak. In a state of panic, I hurriedly ran back to the living room and slammed the balcony door shut.

They are truly a perfect match of talent and beauty

Upon hearing this, I did not speak, but suddenly stood up from the sofa.

"Is this piece of clothing you are wearing prepared for you by Xiang Xuan at her grandfather's banquet?" Wen Jinliang did not say much this time, but asked seriously.

"Why won't you let me speak? Xiao Qi, you are truly beautiful," Wen Jinliang said to me in the softest voice, half-closing his eyes as he looked at me. Suddenly, he reached out, took hold of a strand of my long hair, and gently placed a kiss on it.

The number of little black bears is particularly low this time, we need to hurry over! Otherwise, we might not be able to get any. " Shen Xiangxuan said immediately upon seeing my anxious expression

Wen Jinliang had not intended to take the dessert from my hands, as he disliked sweet foods. However, upon hearing me suddenly say this, he immediately became interested and asked, "Why can't you let me have some?"

I was startled by Wen Jinliang's actions, and the excited expression on my face instantly vanished

One day after school, she suddenly pulled me into a corner and said: "You haven't given the desserts I send you every day to Jin Liang, have you?"

He stayed by my side the entire time, fearing that I would cause some embarrassment at someone else's banquet. Shen Xiangxuan spent the whole evening attending to other guests, and when she saw us, she hurriedly greeted us before getting back to her duties. Meanwhile, I was lost in thought, my gaze fixed on Shen Xiangxuan.

"N-no, it's nothing..." Shen Xiangxuan said, trembling.

Before Wen Jinliang could even say the words "take care," Shen Xiangxuan and I had already left the apartment like the wind, heading straight for our destination

Wen Jinliang looked at me deeply, the corners of his mouth slightly rising as he said: "Indeed... Xiao Qi will eventually have a time when she likes someone."

I am genuinely pleased to often go out with Shen Xiangxuan. She has shown me many landscapes I had never seen before and taught me much about the complexities of human emotions that I did not understand. Moreover, whenever I go out with her, my inner turmoil tends to diminish. I enjoy seeing different sceneries outside, and I also appreciate Shen Xiangxuan whispering in my ear about the childhood of Wen Jinliang, which gives me an indescribable sense of satisfaction

"Please return this outfit to Xiang Xuan, I will prepare a new one for you," Wen Jinliang said with a faint smile, "After all, you are my bodyguard, how can I trouble Xiang Xuan to prepare it for you?"

They will definitely be together...

However, I know that I have not completely extinguished the flames of conflict between Shen Xiangxuan and the girls, but have merely suppressed them temporarily; one day, they will erupt.

Upon hearing Wen Jinliang's words, I immediately felt at ease. There was no light in the room, and relying solely on the moonlight, an ordinary person would be unable to see anything clearly... How infuriating, it seems I have been played by Wen Jinliang again

I really don't want to pay attention to you anymore. I said sulkily while holding the bag, preparing to walk back inside the house

After I dressed neatly, I walked to the large mirror placed outside on the balcony of the living room. The moonlight outside the balcony was much brighter than that inside the room, and the light blue dress I wore accentuated my fair skin even more under the moonlight, while my long black hair made my face appear small and delicate

The days passed in a lukewarm manner, and Shen Xiangxuan's enthusiasm for taking me out to eat sweets and shop only increased. Wen Jinliang, on the other hand, was quite pleased that she often took me out, which gave me a sense of unease as if I were about to be dismissed

Shen Xiangxuan's tears welled up in her eyes, and with a cry of "Wow," she threw herself into Wen Jinliang's embrace, sobbing, "Jinliang, I am so scared, boohoo..."

Since the day she received my answer, Shen Xiangxuan has expressed her affection for Wen Jinliang even more vividly. She does not hide her admiration for Wen Jinliang, and is just short of saying the words "I like you".

Because Xiao Qi has finally obtained something that she truly desires from the bottom of her heart. This profound longing stems from an unparalleled affection for it deep within her heart. Wen Jinliang looked at me with a smile, his tone quite gratified, "My Xiao Qi has finally begun to understand love"

In fact, Wen Jinliang is aware of her feelings towards them; he simply chooses not to speak of it. Perhaps, to him, it is entirely inconsequential and not worth mentioning

"Alright, it's nothing now..." Wen Jinliang said, patting her back in comfort

Wen Jinliang's expression changed slightly as he directly took the half-eaten pastry from my hand and consumed it

"Xiao Qi, you https://www.hetushu.com mind your own business, we..." Before the leading girl could finish her sentence, I had already impatiently pushed her aside, preparing to support Shen Xiangxuan as we walked out.

At that moment, a woman's scream echoed from a corner of the banquet. Following the scream was the sharp sound of shattering glass. Amidst the restless crowd, I saw a dozen or so men in black who did not belong to this banquet, advancing towards Wen Jinliang and Shen Xiangxuan, brandishing guns and knives.

Because of Wen Jinliang's sudden action, my mind exploded, and in an instant, it went blank, and I reflexively pushed him away

The day after, I completely refrained from mentioning the little black bear. Shen Xiangxuan thought that I had truly moved on, and with a beaming face, she wanted to take me out for dessert. Later, she simply started making desserts herself, and after receiving my praise, she began bringing me desserts to enjoy every day

I like it! I really like it! I nodded vigorously, and my eyes instantly sparkled with enthusiasm, while my face could not hide the excitement.

I shot Wen Jinliang a glare: "I am going to sleep now, I won't pay attention to you anymore." This time, I truly did not want to engage with him, so I turned around and prepared to leave the balcony to go back inside and sleep.

"I can lend you money first, let's buy it and talk later!" Shen Xiangxuan smiled at me.

"You, don't come over here." I looked at him in a panic, my cheeks burning.

One weekend day, I could no longer restrain myself and asked Wen Jinliang, "Why did you agree to let Shen Xiangxuan take me out?" Regardless of the circumstances, my primary role is that of his bodyguard; protecting him is my duty. He should not allow other matters to occupy my time, nor should he let other things distract my attention. Living as an ordinary female student is not a life that belongs to me.

Not good! The crane beside me suddenly changed color

Wen Jinliang did not expect me to say this, and was momentarily taken aback, before breaking into a smile as if he could not help himself. The smile on his face spread all the way to his deep-set eyes, as if reflecting the brilliance of countless stars in the sky, truly beautiful.

He looked at me, who was alone, with a hint of curiosity and asked, "Did Xiangxuan not come back with you?"

Is it true? My eyes lit up, and I couldn't help but excitedly grab Shen Xiangxuan, "Xiangxuan, thank you!"

Upon hearing this, I quickly turned around to open the door, shielding Wen Jinliang behind me, and cautiously surveyed the trees outside the balcony, calling out, "Who is there?"

I turned around and inexplicably glanced at Wen Jinliang: "Let go of me..." Hasn't my wrist always been like this? Delicate? Are they saying I am thin?

I had a moment when I didn't want to pay attention to him, but I still had things to say, so I had to continue looking at him

Wen Jinliang smiled gently after hearing my unhesitating response: "Xiao Qi is ultimately a girl, and I cannot always keep you by my side. Moreover, it is not appropriate for you to stay around men like He and me all the time; you should spend more time with girls your age. It is indeed better for girls to have female friends around them." After a pause, he seemed to casually add, "Furthermore, Xiang Xuan is a good girl. With her by your side, I can feel more at ease, and she should have taught you quite a bit, right? There are some things that He and I are not in a position to teach you."

Wen Jinliang dislikes sweet foods very much, so he never touches such desserts. He has never eaten the sweets I brought back before. Shen Xiangxuan should be well aware of Wen Jinliang's habit of not eating desserts; thus, her seemingly concerned explanation now feels somewhat superfluous.

Many people were discussing in this manner. My heart gradually sank with their voices, as if it were about to drown in an endless darkness

I tightened my grip on the cup of water in my hand, the residual warmth on the cup made me feel very warm

It turns out that having a same-sex friend is such a happy thing. That is why Wen Jinliang is willing to let me date Shen Xiangxuan, because she is truly very gentle and is a very good girl

Hmm. I took the drink and downed it in one go. I must admit, her words provided me with quite a bit of comfort

I have no way to retreat

Shen Xiangxuan rushed to my side, took my hand and said: "Xiao Qi, let me tell you, the Alice Little Black Bear you like has been newly released today! If you wait any longer, you might not be able to get it. Alice's limited edition dolls are notoriously hard to obtain; once they're gone, no amount of money can get them back!"

Wen Jinliang had just finished his shower and stepped out of the room, drying his damp hair. He asked, "Are you back?"

Wen Jinliang, however, reached out and grabbed my wrist, preventing me from leaving. He stared at my wrist and said softly, "I never noticed before that Xiao Qi's wrist is so slender."

"Stop right there!" the leading girl shouted fiercely

Holding the clothes, jewelry, and shoes that Shen Xiangxuan picked out for me, I returned indoors, casually placed the bag down, and collapsed directly onto the sofa

Wen Jinliang held the book in silence for a moment, then raised his head to glance at me, but did not answer my question: "Xiao Qi, are you not happy to go out with Xiang Xuan?"

I am at a loss regarding Wen Jinliang's sudden change of demeanor

The restroom was crowded with girls, among whom several looked quite familiar, all of whom had previously harassed me. Shen Xiangxuan was cornered at the innermost part, sitting on the floor in a disheveled state, her body damp.

Good afternoon ... ... '' both Wen Jinliang and I replied simultaneously

"Xiao Qi, how long has this pastry been given to you by Xiang Xuan?" Wen Jinliang asked

What happened? After Wen Jinliang helped me sit down on the sofa, he poured me a cup of hot water and signaled me gently with his eyes to speak slowly

Wen Jinliang took me and He to attend the banquet. Originally, he had prepared a new dress for me, but it was rejected by He with a remark, "As a bodyguard, dressing like this is quite inappropriate." Therefore, I still went in the not-so-flattering bodyguard uniform.

"Yes, what is it?" I turned to look at Wen Jinliang and asked

"Xiao Qi, do not apologize... you did nothing wrong." Wen Jinliang reached out and ruffled my hair

Wen Jinliang softly apologized, saying: "I’m sorry, it seems I spoke out of turn." However, his expression was very cheerful

I understand, rest assured, I will be careful I nodded in response

Jin Liang, Xiao Qi! Good afternoon. The door of the apartment was pushed open by a slender hand, and Shen Xiangxuan quickly walked in wearing a white long dress

Wen Jinliang was momentarily taken aback by my actions. He tapped on the glass door of the balcony and, suppressing a smile, said: "Are you planning to make me sleep on the balcony for a night?"

"Xiao Qi." Shen Xiangxuan looked up at me, wearing a pitiful expression.

I recalled my master, and her disdain for love. She once said that love is the most terrifying poison in the world, something I must never come into contact with

"Hmm... so sweet." Wen Jinliang frowned at the sweetness.

"Is it really that delicious?" Wen Jinliang, after finishing a book, couldn't help but smile and ask me as she saw me eating with great concentration

"Do not say anymore..." I covered my crimson cheeks, my voice as faint as a mosquito.

I stuffed the clothes I had just changed out of in the living room into a bag, preparing to return to the bedroom. Behind me, Wen Jin Liang said softly, "Xiao Qi, in the future, do not change clothes in the living room. Even if you need to change, make sure I am asleep before you do so."

My salary cannot afford the price of the little black bear

Do you really like that little black bear so much?" Wen Jinliang set down the towel in his hand, raised an eyebrow and asked, his tone carrying a hint of confusion and surprise

I turned around in front of the mirror, and indeed, my appearance looks quite remarkable. Standing next to Wen Jinliang, it seems that we embody the beauty of a talented man and a beautiful woman.

It is nothing. I just feel that Xiang Xuan's skills have improved significantly; her pastries did not taste like this before said Wen Jinliang with a meaningful tone

I am his bodyguard, how could I possibly protect someone else ... Does this imply ... ? ... Shen Xiangxuan indeed holds a different place in his heart?

"Are you saying that I have developed feelings for the little black bear?" I asked Wen Jinliang, tilting my head, completely unaware of how ambiguous his phrase, "my little Seven," was.

Ah? I hurriedly waved my hand, "I don't need to wear any formal attire; I can just wear my bodyguard uniform."

It has been a long time... My tone carries a hint of nostalgia. Unfortunately, I know that this rare time spent together will soon come to an end, as I have already heard the familiar footsteps outside the door

After returning to my room, I wrapped myself in a soft blanket. Although the surroundings were so warm, a wave of coldness spread through my body, causing me to tremble uncontrollably

As for Wen Jinliang, his attitude towards Shen Xiangxuan or other girls remains unchanged: he maintains a harmonious demeanor, with a consistently appropriate and gentle smile on his face, which unconsciously creates a sense of illusion in me

Wen Jinliang let out a light laugh, paused his steps, and looked at me with a smile, as if he were admiring something beautiful. His deep and lingering gaze made my cheeks flush with warmth

"Because the dessert contains something that will cause Jin Liang to have an allergic reaction, he cannot eat it," Shen Xiangxuan explained calmly.

In the past, I swallowed a piece of cake in my hand. Have you ever eaten the cakes she made? It seems you weren't always averse to desserts from the beginning...

Due to my warning, that group of girls indeed never came to harass Shen Xiangxuan again. Shen Xiangxuan's grandfather's birthday celebration arrived as scheduled

Is it because of this?" Wen Jinliang was taken aback for a moment and then chuckled.

That little bear was the first thing I ever desired so intensely in my life, yet I was unable to obtain it. The feeling of forever losing it amidst such great anticipation is no less devastating than when Wen Jinliang suddenly said he wanted to dismiss me

In the darkness, his expression seemed somewhat sullen, and as he scrutinized my attire, there appeared to be a hint of dissatisfaction.

Perhaps this line of thought is overly pessimistic, but strangely, even I cannot discern the source of my pessimistic emotions. Seeing that Wen Jinliang has tacitly accepted my protective mode, I feel even more uncomfortable

Is a banquet to be held on the day of the grand birthday celebration? I asked as I walked.

However, Shen Xiangxuan had already fallen into a state of excitement, completely ignoring my objections, and dragged me to try on many beautiful dresses, not letting me return until midnight

I fell silent. Fortunately, the one who was bothering the crane was Wen Jinliang; if it had been someone else, they would probably have ended up in the hospital by now. In this world, it seems that only Wen Jinliang would dare to provoke the crane like this; the two of them are practically like biological brothers.

My heart is enveloped in emotion, and I have never felt as genuinely happy for the existence of Shen Xiangxuan as I do now

"So, are you happy to go out with Xiang Xuan?" Wen Jinliang asked again, his expression gentle yet serious

I told Xiangxuan that there was something in the dessert that would cause an allergic reaction, so it couldn't be given to her. However, she didn't like desserts anyway, so it wouldn't matter if there were allergens or not; she wouldn't eat them. I answered truthfully while taking a bite of the pastry in my hand

I looked at Wen Jinliang with some confusion, completely unable to understand what he was saying

I was curled up on the sofa, enjoying the dessert she had just sent over, while Wen Jinliang sat across from me, reading a book. Without Shen Xiangxuan's presence on the weekend, the atmosphere around Wen Jinliang and me suddenly became much quieter

And because of that contradictory answer I gave back then, I found my mood plunged into a deep valley. Therefore, during most of the times when the three of us were together, I simply avoided them, hiding myself in a dark corner, silently protecting Wen Jinliang. After all, I was originally a bodyguard who could not stand the light.

I think it is best not to seek out Mr. He recently, as he must be filled with anger... If we were to meet, I would likely become his punching bag, after all, not everyone can survive an encounter with him like I can.

However, all I received in response were the sounds of the wind and the unbearable smile of Wen Jinliang, only then did I realize that I had been played with

I was taken aback for a moment; Wen Jinliang had clearly seen through my thoughts yet deliberately chose to say such words, surely laughing at me internally

No, I replied, shaking my head

I am going to sleep now, good night. I ran back to my room without looking back for the first time, ignoring Wen Jinliang's question.

Wen Jinliang promptly stopped me, examining my face: "Your expression is quite poor, and your mood is very low. What has happened? Is someone making things difficult for you, or is there an urgent matter at home?"

Although I left with a sense of joy, upon returning, I found myself enveloped in a gloomy mood, completely lacking in spirit. Beside me, Shen Xiangxuan comforted me, saying, "Xiao Qi, you shouldn't be sad about not getting that little bear... I didn't expect there to be so many people, and I'm truly sorry for not being able to get it for you."

I looked at Wen Jinliang with a dark expression and said, "Of course, I am a girl." After saying that, I turned on my heel and walked back to the living room

He handed me a bottle of drink, saying, "Don't pay attention to them, they are just talking nonsense."

"Um... it's been almost a week. What's wrong?" I continued to eat the pastries on my plate, responding without looking up.

I was taken aback. When was the last time Wen Jinliang gently patted my head like this? It must have been a long time ago, because at this moment, I can only feel an indescribable joy. ... The barrier between him and me seems to have suddenly vanished ...

For the first time, I took the initiative to embrace Shen Xiangxuan: "Hmm, but I still want to thank you. Thank you, Xiangxuan. It is truly wonderful to have you by my side."

"Xiao Qi." Wen Jinliang called out to me

"Between good friends, there is no need to say thank you." Shen Xiangxuan looked at me gently and said with a hint of regret, "It's a pity that I couldn't help you get the last one either."

Wen Jinliang quickly released me and smiled as usual, saying: "Sorry, did I scare you? I was just a bit happy..."

Speaking of which, I haven't chatted with Xiao Qi for a long time. Wen Jinliang put down the book in his hand and looked at me without blinking.

Upon hearing Shen Xiangxuan say this, I couldn't help but feel nervous. The Alice Doll is the most famous doll in City A. When I previously went with Shen Xiangxuan, I was captivated by a little black bear that had not yet gone on sale. I had never desired a doll so much before

I like it! I nodded in response without giving it any thought

"Do you not like the little black bear?" Wen Jinliang countered with a question.

Without hesitation, I immediately changed in the living room. I completely disregarded the fact that even though the room was dark and Wen Jinliang was asleep, as a girl, I should not be changing clothes in the living room

But soon I realized, isn't He quite busy lately? How does he still have time to take care of Wen Jinliang? I hurriedly asked, "But isn't He very busy lately? How does he still have time to watch over you?"

A week before Grandpa Shen Xiangxuan's birthday, Shen Xiangxuan returned to the academy, and we became a trio once again. The girls who had finally managed to spend some time with Wen Jinliang felt jealous of Shen Xiangxuan's reappearance.

She left first, I replied dejectedly

Wen Jinliang approached me slowly with a smile on his face, while I nervously stepped back, soon finding my back against the balcony railing

Wen Jinliang? I was taken aback and instinctively protected my chest. Since the dress that Shen Xiangxuan chose for me was low-cut, I felt a hint of shyness when facing this boy, Wen Jinliang

I helped Shen Xiangxuan to the door of the classroom, and Wen Jinliang quickly walked towards us. As soon as he saw Shen Xiangxuan's disheveled appearance, he had already guessed the situation. He took off his coat and draped it over Shen Xiangxuan, speaking gently: "It’s all right now, don’t be afraid"

"Senior, I will only say this for the last time, do not lay a hand on Xiang Xuan again in the future. Angering me will bring you no benefits." As I spoke, I kicked the restroom door that they had just sealed shut, and it immediately split in half and fell down. The expressions on the girls' faces all changed, and the leader among them looked as if she had seen a ghost.

Wen Jinliang! Run quickly

"Do not say that, you have already worked hard to help me fight for it." Just thinking about Shen Xiangxuan, who just now fought with others for me, even disregarding her image and arguing with them, I felt both touched and guilty. "Thank you, Xiangxuan."

Indeed. This time, we have specially invited members of the Wen family, not just Jin Liang, but all of his relatives will be coming. Shen Xiangxuan's eyes were crescent-shaped with joy, as if having the Wen family members attend was a matter of great pride and happiness.

I let out an "oh". Since Wen Jinliang has said this, I might as well step back. After all, I am his bodyguard, and it is normal for him to prepare things for me at the banquet.

Of course not! Mr. He is very capable, and with him by your side, I feel completely at ease. As soon as I thought that Wen Jinliang doubted my questioning of He's abilities, I immediately made my stance clear

Wen Jinliang softly uttered an "oh" and did not say anything further. Her downcast mood made me reluctant to engage in conversation with her, so I decided to return to my room to sleep

I watched him outside the door in silence, my heart pounding rapidly, feeling so nervous that even breathing became somewhat difficult

It is clearly very hot outside! Liar

Little Seven? At the balcony door stood Wen Jinliang, dressed in pajamas. The look in his eyes was one of undeniable surprise and admiration directed at me

I cannot help but think of those difficult relatives of the Wen family in the Wen residence, to be honest, I really do not want to see them... Previously in the residence, due to the fact that I am a girl, I was often bullied by them, although each time I was driven away by He in a violent manner...

Wen Jinliang was momentarily taken aback by my excited reaction, and then he couldn't help but smile. His cold palm cradled my face as he gazed at me intently, as if he were completely immersed in the joyful expression on my face: "This is the first time I've seen you with such an expression..."

Wen Jinliang noticed the fleeting change on my face, closed the book in his hands, and casually said: "Speaking of which, that group of girls had caused trouble for Xiang Xuan before, right? Thanks to you, Xiao Qi, for stepping in just in time, nothing major happened. " As he spoke, his tone became more serious, "After all, Xiang Xuan is a delicate girl, unlike Xiao Qi, who has good self-defense skills. If someone troubles her again next time, Xiao Qi must protect her well. After all, she is an important friend of both me and Xiao Qi."

"No, Wen Jinliang does not eat desserts at all," I replied

I rushed in immediately: "Xiang Xuan!"

"Why is this?" I asked with a hint of curiosity

I stared in astonishment as Wen Jinliang finished half of the dessert, only to realize: "I have eaten that before... Ah! No, no, you can't eat this, it will cause an allergy. Ah! That's not right either, don't you never eat sweets?"

When Wen Jinliang saw me with my back turned to him, he fell silent. Just as I was feeling puzzled, he suddenly called out with a hint of tension, "Xiao Qi, there is someone outside"

I am very happy. I responded extremely quickly, almost without thinking.

Are you alright? I immediately helped Shen Xiangxuan, who was on the ground, and after carefully checking her over and confirming that she was not injured, I finally breathed a sigh of relief

Hearing this, I turned around to look at the smiling Wen Jinliang behind me, and my face instantly flushed red. I exclaimed excitedly, "You actually peeped at me changing clothes! Pervert!"

The lights are off indoors, and only a little soft moonlight is filtering in from the open balcony of the living room, creating a serene silence. Wen Jinliang should be in a sweet dream now.

After saying goodnight to Shen Xiangxuan, I returned to the apartment where Wen Jinliang and I lived. Although I had honestly told her that I was no longer feeling upset in order to reassure her when we parted, upon returning to the apartment, the feelings of loss deep within me wrapped around me once again, and even more intensely than before

I turned away and no longer looked at him, intending to ignore him

In the past, after finishing shopping with Shen Xiangxuan, she would come back to the apartment with me to chat with Wen Jinliang, and we would only return to rest when the conversation was nearly over. No wonder Wen Jinliang found it strange. At this moment, I also had no extra mood to care about Wen Jinliang's sudden concern for Shen Xiangxuan

I know that Jin Liang never eats desserts, but just in case, it is still better to mention it to you. Shen Xiangxuan noticed my confusion and continued to explain with a smile.

I held my trembling fingertips, calmly looking at Wen Jinliang, and replied: "It is only natural to protect friends. Even if you do not say it, I will take good care of her. You have no need to..." My words suddenly halted, as continuing would seem like I was indirectly complaining and expressing dissatisfaction. When did I become so emotional?

Speaking of which, as Jin Liang's bodyguard, Xiao Qi also has to go. It's a rare opportunity, so I want to pick a beautiful dress for Xiao Qi!

I was a bit taken aback by what Wen Jinliang said, and I merely let out a soft "ah".

So it is harassment..." Wen Jinliang smiled with a hint of mischief and satisfaction
