Chapter 146: Ning Zhaozhao, Let’s Talk
Wei Jin hurriedly stepped forward, pulling her around to check everywhere: “Are you okay, Jiang Ning? You suddenly disappeared and scared me to death.”
Jiang Ning shrugged: “What could be wrong with me? I’m perfectly fine.”
Noticing Xie Jingyan’s direct gaze, Jiang Ning felt uncomfortable all over. She pulled Wei Jin: “Let’s just stay here temporarily for tonight. I knocked out the leader of those guys, and his subordinates took him and ran. They’ll definitely still be in Xiao Ge Town tonight. They won’t dare to act rashly in town. If we take a car and leave, who knows if they’ll ambush us on the road.”
“Oh… huh? What!” Wei Jin went from dazed to shocked.
What did he just hear?
Jiang Ning knocked out the leader?
“You…” He was dumbfounded, wanting to say something, but thinking of how deftly Jiang Ning had flipped down from the two-meter-high wall, the words he was about to say were swallowed back.
He delicately approached: “Jiang Ning, I’m scared. Protect me. My safety from now on depends on you.”
Then he was pulled away by Xie Jingyan and flung to the side.
“Holy shit, Xie Jingyan, are you seeking death? You really think I’m not angry? Treating me like Hello Kitty!”
Xie Jingyan ignored him and smirked: “Jiang Ning, you sure know how to pick a place. I happen to have booked two rooms here.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
“ID Card.” His tone was flat.
Jiang Ning thought about how everyone knew each other’s identity and felt embarrassed enough to curl her toes.
She pretended not to know, rummaged in her bag for her ID card, and handed it to him.
Xie Jingyan looked at Wei Jin: “Yours will need a separate room.”
Wei Jin emptied all his pockets, looking bitter: “I think I forgot my ID card.”
He looked at Jiang Ning expectantly: “Jiang Ning, let’s squeeze together for one night? You take the bed, I’ll sleep by the door.”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Seeing Jiang Ning about to respond, Xie Jingyan first put his arm around Wei Jin’s shoulders, smiling insincerely: “Us guys can squeeze together.”
Wei Jin: “…”
Although it went against his expectations, he accepted this solution.
As long as there was a place to sleep.
The two rooms were positioned one on the second floor and one on the third floor.
Xie Jingyan gave Jiang Ning the room card for the third floor, then led Wei Jin to the door, opened it, pushed him inside, and said: “I’m going downstairs to buy you a bottle of water. What do you want?”
Wei Jin suspiciously looked at Xie Jingyan. Since when was he this nice—not coming in to sleep and even going downstairs to buy him water.
He hesitated: “A Maimo?”
Xie Jingyan smiled: “Sure.”
Then he closed the door.
He hurried to the third floor and, at the last moment before Jiang Ning could close her door, blocked it with his hand, his dark eyes smiling: “Jiang Ning… oh no, I should call you Ning Zhao Zhao. Shall we talk?”
Jiang Ning’s face turned ashen, feeling like her life was over.
Dead hand!
Had to go and have an online relationship with you.
Dead eyes.
Had to be a hand fetishist.
Dead mouth!
Had to keep spouting flirty lines!
When Xie Jingyan pushed the door open and came in.
Jiang Ning’s mind had only one thought.
She would never go online again in this lifetime.
Little Honey, observing everything: 【…】
It was also numb.
Wuwuwu, the future looked utterly bleak.
The perfectly fine storyline went wrong starting from its system glitch failing to detect that Jiang Ning’s online relationship flirtation was with the male lead.
By the time it discovered, everything was already set in stone.
It had even sighed back then that Jiang Ning was truly a kind little angel.
And wished her good retribution…
Jiang Ning: 『Little Honey, is this my retribution?』
Little Honey: 【…】
Quickly logged off.
Didn’t dare to watch this Asura Arena.
Getting no response, Jiang Ning’s face turned green. When she came back to her senses, Xie Jingyan had already closed the door and locked it.
Jiang Ning stepped back, steadying her mindset, her small face cold: “What Ning Zhao Zhao? I don’t know… Also, please leave. Your room isn’t here.”
Xie Jingyan sneered: “Still pretending? I know you’ve already figured it out. Continuing this act is really pointless.”
Jiang Ning stuck out her neck: “So what if I figured it out? If I knew Meng Jing was you, I wouldn’t have had this online relationship, you dog!”
Xie Jingyan smiled on the surface, but his eyes were ice-cold: “So what do we do? You’ve already flirted with me, deceived me. I like to be serious about things, so why don’t you think of a method for me, Qingbei University senior who’s maxed out in dance, piano, fine arts, and painting?”
Jiang Ning only felt her toes curling into the ground, her face heating up. No need to think—she was already blushing.
Back then, she just wanted to make herself seem badass, but she never expected such social death.
She licked her lips: “What method? Since you know, we should just be what we are. From now on, we’ll be strangers…”
“Heh.” He suddenly laughed out loud.
As if mocking Jiang Ning’s naivety.
“Mm… Ever since I dreamed of watching senior dance for me, there’s no way we can be strangers anymore. Jiang Ning, didn’t you say you love me the most? I’m your sweet little mashed potato. What’s this? Tastes changed now, and you like Wei Jin’s spicy pepper type?”
Jiang Ning nearly knelt to Xie Jingyan.
How could such shameful words come out of his mouth?
So embarrassing!
“You like my hands, my abdominal muscles, want to sleep with me, touch me, kiss me, hug me, said my lips would definitely taste like sweet soft strawberry small cake when kissed…”
Jiang Ning hurriedly pounced, covering his lips with her hand, eyes full of pleading: “Please! Stop talking!”
Don’t make her socially die any more.
She wouldn’t admit to saying those words.
Xie Jingyan held her hand, eyes crinkling: “I’m afraid you’ll forget, so let me remind you. I’m still very sweet now—want to taste?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
Jiang Ning: “!!!”
Jiang Ning: 『Little Honey, come save me quick. Make me disappear on the spot, teleport me home, use your magic—hurry.』
Little Honey: 【…You’re crazy. Where would I get that? If you like talking, keep talking. At worst, dump him later, he’ll blacken on the spot, and you won’t have it easy either.】
Jiang Ning: “…”
Xie Jingyan’s voice continued by her ear: “Why aren’t you speaking? Fun to toy with people?”
Jiang Ning took a deep breath: “Sorry, it was wrong of me to deceive you at first, but I didn’t know this person was you…”
She looked up into Xie Jingyan’s eyes, swallowed the rest, and changed it to: “Whatever compensation you need, I’ll give it if I can.”
“Then let me taste that gardenia-flavored cake.”
Jiang Ning: “?”
The next second, her red lips were covered again.
Overwhelming breath surged in.
Jiang Ning tried to push him away, but he pressed her until they both fell onto the bed.
“Xie Jingyan, you…”
He cupped her face, eyes dark as an abyss: “I’m very normal. I’m not crazy. I know what I’m doing. If you have to define my behavior, just call it revenge. Jiang Ning, is this how it should be between you and me?”
Jiang Ning looked at him with some complexity.
“Is this revenge? Xie Jingyan, if it’s revenge, then between you and me, it shouldn’t be like this.”
Yeah, between them, it should be unrelenting enmity.
But destiny is like this.
Making them associate together.
He pulled a self-mocking smile: “Jiang Ning, you can insult me again now.”
Lately really stuck on writing, even thought about dropping it, but still wrote this out. Sometimes when time ran out, I used some draft scraps to fill a few hundred words. Refresh after half an hour and you can see the full chapter. Sorry babies, for the poor reading experience—sorry! (Big cry)
