Chapter 2, Will You Really Not Like Me?

In the days before school started, I, as a bodyguard, would stand outside the classroom watching them attend classes. Now, I can finally sit openly beside Wen Jinliang and attend class with him.

When I opened my eyes, that person had already climbed through the window into Wen Jinliang's bedroom. A crisp sound of impact echoed in the room, and in an instant, the lights inside brightened.

"This is not a disease at all; it is merely a sign that a person is about to get angry," Wen Jinliang said with a smile. "Although knocking someone out is a rather crude way to handle it, your sister is right in using this method to deal with an angry person"

Since he is unwilling, I absolutely cannot make things difficult for him. Although we cannot openly live together, I can secretly stay by his side. I began to devise a clever plan in my mind

"What an absurd thought? Flirting?" I looked at the girl who was speaking, suddenly feeling a bit angry, "You are truly rude. I have no such thoughts about Wen Jinliang, and I absolutely will not have such ideas. In my heart, he is a master and a friend, an important person whom I would protect with my life. If you say that I have romantic feelings for him, then you are insulting my work!" Moreover, I simply cannot fall in love with anyone... I silently laughed at myself. If you say that I have romantic feelings for him, then you are insulting my work!" Moreover, I simply cannot fall in love with anyone... I silently laughed at myself.

Wen Jinliang smiled at me and said, "From now on, the seat next to me will be yours, so don't let others take it."

I should not have hidden from you while staying outside. I clearly know that you dislike others following you... but I, I just wanted to protect you... I'm sorry... I... '' As soon as I met Wen Jinliang's warm gaze, I felt somewhat at a loss, '' So... please don't be angry with me, okay? And don't drive me away... I... '' The moment I encountered Wen Jinliang, my composure completely vanished. When did I become like this?

"Hmm, let's go." I didn't think much of it and leisurely followed Wen Jinliang back to the apartment

I stared blankly at Wen Jinliang, not expecting him to say such a thing suddenly

I continued to shake my head, my nose feeling somewhat sour. I truly do not know about this.

"Crane, do not think that such a casual greeting can make Xiao Qi and me forgive you," Wen Jinliang said, looking at Crane with a snort. He rarely spoke to Crane in such a manner and tone, which puzzled me.

Who allowed you to sit in this seat? Get up! The girl in charge glanced at me a few times and said this without any courtesy

My memory goes back to the day I enrolled in school, when I suddenly realized the importance of Wen Jinliang to me. This importance and trust even surpassed that of my little sister, who is like a biological sister to me. This made me feel uneasy and anxious, prompting me to unconsciously treat him with a bit of coldness. However, he responded with even greater tenderness towards me, which made me reluctant to continue being distant with him

I suddenly looked up at Wen Jinliang, and his words made me so happy that my voice trembled: "Really? You really are willing to let me move in?" After hesitating for a moment, I asked again, "You... really are not angry with me anymore?"

On the sixth night, while I was lying on a branch sleeping, I sensed the presence of a stranger. If it had been in the past, I would have been awakened by this presence long ago, but I had been caught in the rain yesterday, and my body was somewhat weak, so I did not notice it immediately

Wen Jinliang slightly lowered her eyelids: "I clearly promised you that I would treat you as I did at the beginning, just as you treated me, but I have broken my word"

I still have some matters to attend to, so I will talk to you later. He glanced at the morning glow outside the window, said a word to Wen Jinliang, and turned to leave

I am specially assigned by Wen Jia to take care of Wen Jin... Oh no, of Young Master Wen. I live with him for the sake of convenience in providing care.

The news of Wen Jinliang living alone had not been disclosed, so he was originally very safe, no wonder he was so certain that nothing would happen to him before. As a result, He deliberately leaked the information, putting Wen Jinliang in danger to lure out the traitor

Wen Jinliang's gaze towards me is too profound, which makes me feel a bit frightened. However, I know I cannot retreat; I must respond to his trust.

Indeed, it seems we were overthinking it

"Isn't the seat something one can choose freely? Why do I need someone else's permission to sit here? You are really strange. Also, do not command me. You do not have that qualification, nor do you deserve it." I said to the girl in front of me with a blank expression.

Wen Jinliang's words were like a spell, making it impossible for me to resist the overwhelming drowsiness. Under his gaze, I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep

Ah? The girls became agitated, appearing somewhat nervous yet relieved. "Anyway, she has said that she would never like the male god like you... We won't make things difficult for her anymore. Sorry, we will take our leave now." After saying this, the girls dispersed as if they were escaping.

Wen Jinliang, I am sorry

I stared blankly at Wen Jinliang, a hint of bitterness spreading in my heart. I slowly exhaled and replied, "I understand."

Wen Jin's expression stiffened suddenly, and he fell silent.

Wen Jinliang opened the doors of two rooms for a brief inspection; one was a bedroom and the other was a study. He then smiled at He and said, "You have prepared well, thank you for your hard work"

I moved my body slightly and felt much lighter; the wound on my shoulder no longer hurt. Therefore, I calmly replied, "I feel much better"

I awkwardly sought shelter from the heavy rain. Although my heart told me that I must find a place to take cover, there were trees all around, leaving me with no place to hide, unless I chose to leave. Therefore, I gritted my teeth and endured, standing guard in the rain for an entire night. I could not abandon my duty to protect Wen Jinliang simply because of a rainstorm

Listening to Wen Jinliang's words, I suddenly felt a stir in my heart, smiling at him: "I have noted down what you said, and I will not forget it; you must not forget it either"

"Wen Jinliang, Crane, how long have I been asleep?" I rubbed my eyes and sat up to look at the two of them. They seemed to be in conversation, and upon noticing that I was awake, they turned their heads to look at me.

Please do not make things difficult for my important... friends, okay?" Wen Jinliang said with a gentle smile as he looked at the girls.

Indeed, her condition just now clearly indicated that she had contracted that kind of illness, which is very dangerous. This disease initially causes trembling, followed by flushing of the face. Ultimately, it leads to screaming and madness, and in severe cases, individuals may lose control and become violent. Therefore, I must quickly knock her unconscious before she starts screaming; otherwise, it would not be good if she were to harm you

Wen Jinliang, upon hearing my words, gently held my hand and placed a kiss on it, saying: "I believe you. Xiao Qi, I only believe you. You must not let me down."

Oh, as long as there are no mistakes. Upon hearing that there was no wrongdoing, I immediately felt relieved and no longer dwelled on the matter of Xiao Wu deceiving me

"Misunderstanding? We are not in a romantic relationship, so why are we living together?" the girl questioned aggressively.

"You don't look that good either," the petite girl at the front said, looking at me with confusion and a harsh tone. "What trick did you use to make the handsome Wen your boyfriend? I absolutely will not agree to you dating him!"

Wen Jinliang's voice suddenly interjected. The girls and I turned to look in his direction in unison, and we saw him slowly walking over.

"But I am your personal bodyguard, and I must protect you! How can I be separated from you?" I felt a bit anxious.

After Wen Jinliang let go of me, he stared at me intently, his expression returning to the initial tenderness. However, his gaze was mixed with emotions I could not comprehend. It was not the previous indifference and aloofness, but rather a deeper, more profound feeling.

Indeed, it is true... the warm gentleman is the young master from a wealthy family, having a maid by his side to take care of him is only fitting

"That's not right!" A tall girl stepped out, "Even if you really are a maid, do you not have any improper thoughts about the warm male god? Who knows if you might take advantage of living together to flirt with him! We still don't trust you!"

Your shoulder is bleeding profusely. Do not move, I will immediately go call a doctor. Wen Jinliang gazed at the shocking wound on my shoulder, and his expression changed.

Lovers? Now I understand, I do know this term; Xiao Wu specifically explained it to me. It turns out they misunderstood that Wen Jinliang and I are lovers, how is that possible?

Upon hearing my response, Wen Jinliang immediately had He take me to my new residence. Although it is referred to as a girls' dormitory, the place I am staying is actually just for me. This small apartment was specifically vacated by Wen Jinliang for me at the request of the school. Moreover, it is also somewhat distant from Wen Jinliang's apartment.

Don't go! I shouted loudly to stop the crane that was about to leave

The girl glared at me and said: "What are you pretending for! Aren't you Wen Jinliang's lover?"

I was taken aback; he even anticipated this, what a terrifying individual! So, the matter of me secretly watching Wen Jinliang must have come to his attention by now. Is he very angry at this moment? By the way, he might have known for a long time, as he has always been somewhat indifferent towards me, and he even turned against me yesterday

I pressed my lips together: "Um... I'm sorry. I won't do it again next time..." He must still be angry about me secretly watching over him.

"Did you not just lie as well?" Wen Jinliang's voice grew low, "You are clearly very sad, aren't you? Why do you shake your head? Yesterday, you were clearly feeling unwell, why did you say you weren't? You have been deceiving me all along, yet you never admit it."

I drew the dagger from my waist and attacked the man. This was my first encounter with an assassin sent to kill Wen Jinliang, so I showed no mercy in my strikes. Although the man reacted quickly, he still appeared somewhat flustered as he dodged my attack. Observing his movements, I immediately understood his capabilities.

Is that true? I looked at him in surprise, thinking that saying such things would get him in trouble! After all, I am just a trivial bodyguard

I looked up at her and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

After I finished that statement, I anxiously waited for Wen Jinliang to speak, but I did not expect him to say such a thing

"Well, this is for me to live alone," replied Wen Jinliang.

Wen Jinliang smiled as usual: "Why should I apologize? I do not only see Xiao Qi as a bodyguard; it is also wonderful to become friends with you..."

In the moment when Wen Jinliang called my name, I keenly sensed a change in his emotions. Although his tone remained as gentle as ever, the way he looked at me was entirely different

The girl was taken aback by my sudden change in expression, and she retreated into the crowd, not daring to look at me. My emotionally charged words also silenced the other girls, and there were no more voices of doubt.

The crane gazed at the birds flying outside the window: "This is neither the Wen family nor the off-campus residence arranged for you by the Wen family. Here, Jin Liang does not need to be constrained."

Do not secretly wait outside anymore in the future, Wen Jinliang said to me

What is a boyfriend? I was momentarily taken aback; this unfamiliar term left me somewhat bewildered

"Xiao Qi, you don't need to apologize. In fact, I should have understood long ago that you are different from them. If it were you... I wouldn't reject you. I will have someone tidy up the study next door later, and you can live there from now on." Wen Jinliang said to me seriously. After a pause, he continued, "If I had let you move in earlier, you wouldn't have caught a cold, and you certainly wouldn't have been hurt because of it. You are clearly so strong." There was an unbearable sense of guilt and regret in his tone.

I asked: "A new residence? Am I not living here?"

I do not know how long I have slept, and I woke up in a daze. I opened my eyes and found two people standing beside me, one was Wen Jinliang, and the other was Mr. He

The seat next to Wen Jinliang has always been the target of competition among all the girls. On my first day, I directly ignored everyone and sat down, and they all seemed to be stunned

Xiao Qi? Wen Jinliang was dodging the man's attacks and seemed somewhat surprised to see me. Upon seeing that he was unharmed, I also felt a slight sense of relief

"Still lying! You have a fever this severe and yet claim you are not sick, do you take me for a fool?" Wen Jinliang frowned at me, his tone harsh for the first time as he scolded me.

Wen Jinliang was momentarily taken aback: "Xiao Qi, you need not worry. It is very safe here."

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" the leading girl shouted, pointing at me

I slightly lowered my head and said in a calm tone: "Is there? I am still the same as before with you."

What are you all talking about? I finally couldn't help but ask.

Little Seven, I am sorry

The classroom fell silent in an instant, and the girls stared at me in horror. Wen Jinliang was momentarily taken aback, propping her chin on her hand as she asked me: "Xiao Qi, why did you knock her out?"

Wen Jinliang quietly looked at me for a few seconds, then asked, "Is that so?" His expression turned cold in an instant, but then he smiled as usual, saying, "Next time, don't be so attached to your books. Being late is a minor issue, but if you catch a cold, that would be unfortunate. I noticed you coughing just now; you should take better care of your health."

It turns out that when I came to apply for the job, Wen Jinliang and the others suspected that there was a traitor in the Wen family, but they had been unable to catch anyone. This time, after Wen Jinliang came out to study, it finally gave those who wanted to take action an opportunity, and He deliberately arranged for Wen Jinliang to live alone.

Not good! I immediately stood up, but only felt dizzy and disoriented. I leaned against the tree trunk to catch my breath for a moment, then quickly darted between the branches and suddenly jumped into the bedroom window.

Yes, I apologize... I expressed my unease in my apology

He smiled at me: "I didn't see you waiting at the classroom door, so I thought it was strange and came over to take a look... As a result, it seems I heard some things I shouldn't have."

When I attacked him again, I felt much more confident. After a few moves, it was clear that the man was struggling. You should know that no one has ever been able to defeat me when I am serious... However, after these few moves, I suddenly felt a suffocating heat in my chest...

What happened?" The crane turned its head and glanced at me

Is that so... Am I a friend and a family member to you?

Upon hearing Wen Jinliang's question, I immediately expressed my firm stance: "Of course! If you misunderstand me like this, I absolutely do not have such thoughts towards you! No matter what, as your bodyguard, I will never develop feelings for you, my master."

"Because you lied to me." Wen Jinliang looked straight at me, "Xiao Qi, too many people have lied to me since I was young, so I really hate lies. Moreover, the person who lied to me is you."

"Onset of the disease?" Wen Jinliang asked, somewhat puzzled.

Only the Lord in this world is qualified to make me rise, but of course, I would never say this out loud

"Why didn't you tell me you were sick today?" Wen Jinliang asked as he sat beside me

Unfortunately, last night's heavy rain has affected my health

Ah?

Is that so? Then that's good. The crane smiled lightly.

Are you still angry?" He said淡淡.

Wen Jinliang seemed a bit frightened upon seeing me. He took a moment to calm his emotions and said softly, "Xiao Qi, I am not blaming you, I am just..." He did not continue, and after a moment of silence, he added, "Forget it, you should just rest well for now. The doctor will be here soon, you don’t need to worry about anything, just close your eyes and sleep."

If you are not used as bait, how could that group of people appear obediently?" He continued speaking, not taking Wen Jinliang's words to heart, "Moreover, the one who has made Xiao Qi so weak is you, not me

I am fine. After much effort, I finally regained my composure and reached out my hand to pat Wen Jinliang's shoulder to reassure him not to worry. However, I did not expect that this movement would aggravate the injury on my shoulder, and I instantly cried out in pain.

He quickly stood up, took out his phone, and dialed a number. Then he returned to my side, carefully helped me onto the bed, and briefly attended to the wound on my shoulder

After that, I went to check the trees outside other rooms, and by the time I finished, it was already midnight. I returned to the tree from which I could see the bedroom. At that moment, Wen Jinliang had already turned off the lights and gone to sleep, while I found a comfortable position leaning against the tree and closed my eyes to sleep.

"Why have you suddenly become so polite?" Wen Jinliang smiled lightly, raising his lips

I listened blankly to Wen Jinliang's words and retorted, "So it means that it was not wrong for me to follow Xiao Wu's advice and knock her unconscious?"

I observed Wen Jinliang's apartment and followed my memory towards the direction of the bedroom. When I looked up, I saw that the bedroom light was on, faintly illuminating Wen Jinliang's figure, as he seemed to be studying. I shifted my gaze and noticed a sturdy tree beside me. A thought crossed my mind, and I swiftly climbed the tree, settling steadily on a branch while looking towards the bedroom.

Wen Jinliang shook his head: "I wasn't angry because you secretly watched over my matters in the first place." After a pause, he suddenly emphasized his tone, "I just hate that you lied to me. From now on, you are not allowed to hide your physical discomfort from me, understand"

I felt a sudden jolt in my heart, not understanding why I had made him so angry

Wen Jinliang nodded slightly, then suddenly changed the subject and directly asked: "Xiao Qi... do you really not like me?"

"Are you really not going to develop feelings for... for the warm male god? Isn't he important to you?" asked the petite girl hesitantly, as if she had mustered a great deal of courage to speak up.

There will be no such eventuality. Have you not been watching over him from the tree outside all along? The crane looked at me with a smile that seemed to be both a smile and not a smile.

Didn’t you say that when you were late yesterday?" Wen Jinliang poked my forehead with his finger

"Why do you ask that?" the crane retorted, walking back to sit down on the sofa in front of me

"I will not forget." Wen Jinliang declared solemnly. After that, neither of us spoke again, focusing intently on the lesson.

"Did I just make Wen Jinliang angry?" I asked, lowering my head in a somewhat helpless manner

"When did I lie?" I asked, looking at Wen Jinliang in confusion. I only remembered keeping the secret of protecting him from Wen Jinliang, and I shouldn't have done anything else wrong.

I still refuse to give up, and continued, "No! I do not want to live anywhere else. I am your bodyguard, what is wrong with staying with you all the time? Why do you want me to live somewhere else? I do not want to."

Then I finally understood the sequence of events through the explanation of the crane

The man sensed my hesitation and swiftly seized my arm. In a moment of daze, my shoulder was pierced by his short knife

I blushed: "Well, that counts..."

Has my behavior these days made you feel sad?" Wen Jinliang asked softly

When dawn broke, I returned to my small apartment, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes. My face in the mirror appeared slightly pale. I warmed my cheeks with a hot towel for a while, and soon my complexion returned to its usual state, which reassured me to continue attending class

He Chen revealed a smile: "Having you as Jin Liang's bodyguard is indeed wonderful"

After I continued discussing with He about some assassins who might come to kill recently, he left. As soon as he departed, the sky gradually darkened. I immediately headed to the small apartment where Wen Jinliang lived. By the time I arrived, it was completely dark.

Due to having been caught in the rain, I was not in good spirits, so I did not notice the fleeting change in Wen Jinliang's expression. I simply made an effort to concentrate and replied, "Yes, I understand. I have always been in good health and will not fall ill." After saying this, I gathered my spirits and made an effort to listen to the class. Wen Jinliang did not attempt to speak to me again.

Do you understand now? Seeing my expression, He replied with clarity.

"It is a servant." After some thought, I finally came up with a good reason

I nodded slightly: "Rest assured, I will not let Wen Jinliang feel uncomfortable, but I will absolutely not leave him alone. It is precisely because we are in a state of freedom that I must protect him even more."

Both Wen Jinliang and I spoke at the same time, and then we looked into each other's eyes simultaneously. Why is he apologizing? Am I not the one who made the mistake?

I was rendered speechless by Wen Jinliang, and could only murmur an apology: "I'm sorry ... ... "

My heart suddenly sank, has Wen Jinliang already become so important to me without my realizing it

Wen Jinliang sat down beside me and reached out to touch my forehead: "Fortunately, your fever has subsided. If it had been any later, it could have become serious."

"You are shaking so much, and your face is so red." I looked at the girl in front of me, trembling all over and with a flushed face, and suddenly realized, "Xiao Wu mentioned that there is a disease that causes continuous shaking and a red face. In this situation, one must—" I swiftly stood up and efficiently knocked the girl unconscious, "Knock her out!"

The expressions of the girls changed upon hearing my conversation with Wen Jinliang. A few girls approached me with fierce looks, while the others silently scrutinized me without taking any rash actions.

On the night of the fifth day, I slept as usual on the branch outside Wen Jinliang's bedroom. However, the sky, which had always been clear, suddenly poured down with heavy rain during the night, and I was caught completely unprepared, drenched and chilled by the downpour

Wen Jinliang smiled brightly like a blooming flower upon hearing my response, tightly grasping my hand

What? My response left the girls somewhat stunned, probably because they did not expect me to say that

I shook my head vigorously, yet I felt a sense of grievance in my heart... It would be a lie to say I am not sad, but I was the one at fault from the beginning

I was just about to speak when I couldn't help but cough a few times, feeling a heaviness in my chest. After finally finishing my coughing fit, I replied to Wen Jinliang with the words I had prepared in advance: "I stayed up too late reading last night, so I overslept today"

I sat back down beside Wen Jinliang, and he softly said to me: "You must have many things you don't understand on your first day of class. I will teach you carefully, so don't worry about falling behind."

The other day, I casually mentioned my desire to attend school, and within a few days, Wen Jinliang had already taken care of the enrollment procedures for me, even thoughtfully placing me in the same class as him.

I gently closed my eyes and then opened them again, looking at him, and said firmly: "I will absolutely not let you down... absolutely!"

I stared at the crane, signaling him to continue. Otherwise, with just these few words, I still do not understand.

The next day, I moved from the girls' dormitory into Wen Jinliang's small apartment. The original study had been completely transformed into an elegantly arranged small bedroom. Wen Jinliang and I returned to the way we initially interacted, and he remained as gentle and patient with me as ever. ... However, this seemingly unchanged affection seemed to be mixed with other feelings, yet I could not discern what they were at this moment ...

I was taken aback: "You, how did you know?" No way? I thought I had done a good job of keeping watch quietly, so that the cranes wouldn't find out.

I apologize for speaking about friends and family without permission. This was merely my own wishful thinking, so please do not take it to heart. I did not expect that those words would be overheard by Wen Jinliang, and I feel very embarrassed.

Wen Jinliang half-closed his eyes and smiled gently: "Yes, Xiao Qi treats me just as before, and I do the same."

"Hmm," He replied casually, turning his gaze towards me, "Jin Liang also asked me to arrange a new residence for you."

This is too dangerous! What if something really happens to Wen Jinliang?" After listening to He's explanation, I rarely expressed my anger towards He.

Wen Jinliang fell silent for a moment, but could not help but ask: "Xiao Qi, who told you that her condition is an onset?"

"It is rare for you to be late today." Wen Jinliang smiled when he saw that I was late

Dingling

"Do you know why I got angry last night?" Wen Jinliang suddenly asked

The girls were chattering away, and it was evident that most of them had believed my words. Just when I thought I could leave without a hitch, a questioning voice arose.

The crane paused, turned back to glance at me and asked: "Is there anything else?"

"Little Five," I quickly replied, and then I remembered that Wen Jinliang did not know Little Five, so I added, "She is my sister at home, and she has been taking care of me since I can remember"

I shook my head in confusion at Wen Jinliang. His apology came too suddenly, and I truly had no idea why.

"Little Seven." Wen Jinliang smiled at me, his gaze slightly cold, "Be obedient."

Wen Jinliang's expression gradually turned cold upon hearing my words. He looked at me with a gentle smile, his tone carrying an inexplicable distance: "Xiao Qi, I do not wish to repeat what I have said. Go to your own residence with He."

I was taken aback by Wen Jinliang's angry expression; this was the first time I had truly witnessed him in a state of anger. Having known him for such a long time, I understand that he is someone who absolutely does not express his emotions outwardly. Even when faced with very frustrating situations, he can still confront them with a smile, never revealing his anger so openly as he did this time.

I firmly grasped Wen Jinliang's arm and said earnestly: "It is not permissible! No matter when, I must be by your side to protect you. Please let me live with you."

I paused in silence, as my identity as a bodyguard cannot be disclosed, so I cannot tell them the truth. However, if I do not provide a reasonable explanation, they will certainly not let it go

The crane leaned against the sofa and replied, "Your perception is quite sharp." He looked up at me for a few seconds, "What was before is different from now."

The current situation is indeed correct, " Wen Jinliang said with a calm smile as his gaze swept over the sleeping girl.

"Do you have something to discuss?" I looked at the group of girls blocking my way, feeling little fear. If it really came to a physical confrontation, even if their numbers were to increase tenfold, they would still not be my match

My position is directly opposite Wen Jinliang's bedroom on the second floor, allowing me to see clearly what he is doing. Moreover, due to the many branches and leaves that obscure the view, he cannot see me at all

"Wen Jinliang, just let me live with you," I finally couldn't help but say.

After school, I habitually headed towards my residence, but Wen Jinliang told me: "He Er has prepared a new place for me to live; the previous one was just a temporary residence, and we no longer need to go there."

"No, I won't." I shook my head and continued to slowly express my true thoughts, "An important person is not the same as a lover. His existence is like that of Xiao Wu, a family member and a friend, but never a lover. Besides, I don't have the right to like anyone." I said the last sentence very softly

You have officially enrolled, and of course, you will be staying in the girls' dormitory

Because your actions were within my expectations, the crane said calmly

Not long after the peaceful days began, the news of my cohabitation with Wen Jinliang was maliciously spread by others. This was not originally a big deal, but it became quite bothersome as a group of girls started to surround me every day.

The next day, Wen Jinliang's attitude towards me softened somewhat, yet it still carried a faint sense of detachment. However, I pretended not to notice and continued to chat with him as usual, while internally I resisted, unwilling to confront the reality of Wen Jinliang's distance from me.

Wen Jin's smile at the corners of his lips gradually faded: "Is that so? Having Xiao Qi as my bodyguard really puts my mind at ease." After a pause, he smiled again and said, "Alright, let's go back."

I released Wen Jinliang's hand and fell silent

I am not sick at all, I am doing very well. I am just injured and it looks a bit bad, so please do not misunderstand. As soon as I touch the soft mattress, I feel like sleeping, but I cannot fall asleep in front of Wen Jinliang, so I force myself to stay awake and respond. Moreover, I absolutely cannot let Wen Jinliang know that I am sick, otherwise it would expose the fact that I have been secretly protecting him, so I can only stubbornly deny it.

In order to prevent her from falling ill, I lifted the girl with one hand and placed her in her seat before responding to Wen Jinliang's words

Wen Jinliang, after hearing my words, could no longer hold back and burst into laughter, saying: "Xiao Qi, you are truly too easy to deceive. You actually believe such foolishness."

I, I... just now I shouted out instinctively. Because I really do not want to be alone with Wen Jinliang, I am not afraid of him scolding me, but I am afraid that he will be disappointed in me. What if he does not let me continue?

Wen Jinliang's demeanor towards the crane is quite unique; this is the first time I have witnessed it. His attitude towards the crane has always been different from that of others; he has never shown anger, nor has he even worn a cold expression. Moreover, what does Wen Jinliang mean by forgiveness? I am somewhat confused

However, in that moment, I suddenly realized that, deep within my heart, my trust in Wen Jinliang surpassed that for my close sister, Xiao Wu. I had no doubts about his words; instead, I questioned whether Xiao Wu was deceiving me

Indeed. Wen Jin... Oh no, the young master Wen must have someone to wash his clothes, cook for him, and clean his house. As a distinguished young master, should he really be expected to do these things himself? That would be outrageous! Therefore, the chief steward sent me to take care of the young master. To make it even more convenient for me to look after him, I was specially arranged for enrollment. I am absolutely not in a romantic relationship with him, as you all seem to think. I looked at the girls with a serious expression, hoping they would believe my nonsensical words. I am absolutely not in a romantic relationship with him, as you all seem to think. I looked at the girls with a serious expression, hoping they would believe my nonsensical words

"Crane." I called out to the crane that was about to leave

"Silly Xiao Qi. The one who should say sorry has never been you, it is me." Wen Jinliang suddenly embraced me, his warmth was so comforting that I was momentarily reluctant to break free. "It is my own lack of trust in you, it is my own failure to manage my emotions. I am sorry... From now on, I will never be like this again"

"Are you saying that Xiao Wu deceived me?" I walked back to Wen Jinliang's side and asked in disbelief

In the moment of pain, the heaviness in my body suddenly lightened significantly. I no longer wasted time and kicked him in the ribs, then swiftly threw him to the ground, knocking him unconscious—He said that one must spare the life of the killer to interrogate the master behind him

"Xiao Qi, do you know why I am apologizing?" Wen Jinliang lowered his palm and looked at me without blinking.

"That is to say, we will be apart while sleeping, but during the day we are still together, which is not a problem," Wen Jinliang replied with a smile.

Upon hearing Wen Jinliang say this, I immediately replied: "Rest assured, I will not allow any suspicious individuals to sit beside you." I have not forgotten the purpose of my visit here

The day's classes quickly came to an end. Throughout the day, Wen Jinliang took great care of me, being even more gentle than usual

"I do not live here, so where do I live?" I was taken aback.

I gently nodded to Wen Jinliang and said, "Hmm, thank you..."

You have slept for more than ten hours, and it is already the afternoon of the second day. To my surprise, it was Crane who answered me, and then he asked, "How do you feel?"

Really? Some of the girls looked at me with a hint of disbelief

I was embraced by Wen Jinliang, listening to his words filled with apology, and suddenly all the grievances and unhappiness in my heart vanished. His words were like a powerful sedative, calming my restlessness and unease.

I suddenly opened my eyes wide, and I already understood in my heart. Wen Jinliang actually does not like having someone follow him at all times and in all places; however, being in a place like the Wen family, he cannot refuse. Now that he has moved to a free place, he certainly will not allow others to intrude into his world at will. This is the true reason why Wen Jinliang suddenly changed his residence, and also the real reason for his indifference towards me when I continuously expressed my desire to be with him

When I insisted on living with him, his mood clearly changed. I furrowed my brow in some distress, asking, "Hadn't I always lived with him before? Why is it not possible now?"

You! You... The girl leading the group turned pale with anger upon hearing my words, her finger trembling as she pointed at me, yet she could not utter a single complete sentence

"Xiao Qi, why are you coughing so severely? Your complexion looks terrible." Wen Jinliang hurriedly came to my side. Seeing my pale face, he reached out to touch my forehead, "Your forehead is so hot! You have a fever!"

The crane was fully aware of my reaction: "Xiao Qi, there are some things that, if not spoken, others will not understand." After a pause, he looked at Wen Jinliang meaningfully and said, "Jinliang, I also offer you this piece of advice." Having said that, he strode out of the room, and as he left, he thoughtfully helped us close the door.

"Well, I will never lie to you again in the future," I replied earnestly

I did not think much and nodded, saying, "Alright, let us go to the new residence." After saying this, I walked with him towards the new residence

The ringing of the class bell promptly broke the awkward atmosphere, and the girls hurried back to their seats. However, even if there were no class, my earlier actions probably made them hesitant to approach me again.

You misunderstood. Wen Jinliang is not my boyfriend, and we are not lovers. I shrugged my shoulders and explained to the girls.

After dealing with the man, I could no longer endure the suffocating feeling in my chest and crouched down, coughing incessantly

The new residence is located on the eastern side of the campus, surrounded by lush greenery, and is very secluded. The new accommodation is a two-story small suite. The first floor is completely empty, while the second floor has two rooms and a kitchen, with a modest living room in the center. Compared to the previous luxurious temporary accommodation, this place is noticeably much simpler
