Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 346 If you kiss me again, I'll bite your lips until they bleed.

Jiang Nansun returned to her room, her feelings indescribably complicated.

Everyone around her—her father, mother, aunt, Suosuo, Lin Yuan, and even Wang Yongzheng—was telling her, openly or secretly, that Zhang Anren was not suitable for her and was not a good match.

Unfortunately, Zhang Anren disappointed her by doing something that made her so disappointed.

She took a deep breath and pursed her lips. Had she really misjudged him?

She could accept Zhang Anren losing to Wang Yongzheng in the competition, but she absolutely could not accept Zhang Anren using such means to squeeze out the other party.

What bothered her was not that Professor Dong would hold a grudge against her or that it would affect her doctoral entrance exam, but rather the way Zhang Anren would stop at nothing for his own selfish interests.

Having grown up in a privileged family, she had no idea that society was not as wonderful as she imagined, nor did she know how many people were fighting tooth and nail for a single opportunity.

The filter she had initially placed on Zhang Anren, which she saw as "ambitious and hardworking," has now shattered. What she can see now is more of his selfishness and opportunism.

If Zhang Anren's previous obedience and care for her were not out of love, then how terrible this person must be.

She couldn't accept that Zhang Anren loved her "rich girl identity" more than she loved herself, let alone that Zhang Anren only loved that identity.

Lying in bed, these thoughts swirled around in her mind, and she slowly drifted off to sleep after what seemed like an eternity.

On the other side, in the living room, moonlight quietly streamed into the room, casting a faint glow.

One person was holding onto the sofa, and the other was holding onto her waist. The two bodies were intertwined, making some noises that were particularly loud in the quiet night.

Afterwards, the two snuggled together on the sofa.

Zhu Suosuo nestled in Lin Yuan's arms, Lin Yuan resting his chin on the top of her head, and said softly, "I'm wondering what kind of luck Jiang Nansun has to meet such a good best friend like you."

Zhu Suosuo's expression changed, and her delicate body trembled slightly. She thought Lin Yuan was subtly mocking her.

Lin Yuan patted her smooth back and gently comforted her, "Don't overthink it, I'm not being sarcastic. You and she have been classmates since childhood. Her family is much wealthier than yours, but you're not jealous at all. When Nan Sun encounters difficulties, you always do your best to help her. She lives here with you, so I guess you do all the housework."

Zhu Suosuo breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Nansun is a princess. I've been doing these things since I was little, so I'm used to it."

"I only know that some people are used to enjoying life, I've never heard of anyone being used to suffering." Lin Yuan pinched her skin and teased, "When we get back to bed, you can lie down. Your legs were so weak they were practically X-shaped just now."

……

The next day, when Jiang Nansun got up, he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, as if someone was taking a shower.

"SuoSuo, are you taking a shower?"

At this moment, Zhu Suosuo came out of the room, her hair still slightly disheveled: "It wasn't me inside, it was Lin Yuan."

"He didn't leave last night?"

Zhu Suosuo explained, "You and Zhang Anren didn't eat much last night, only he and I had a few drinks. I saw it was so late, so I let him stay here for the night."

"Oh." Jiang Nansun nodded.

Ultimately, this house was rented by Lin Yuan for Zhu Suosuo, and since he stayed here for one night and it didn't affect him, there was nothing wrong with it.

Zhu Suosuo asked, "Did you talk to Zhang Anren again last night?"

Jiang Nansun shook his head.

Zhang Anren sent her a message, but she really didn't know how to reply.

I felt disappointed in him, and also a little guilty.

"So what do you want to do about this? One of you two has to compromise."

"I do not know."

Zhu Suosuo pulled Jiang Nansun to sit on the sofa and said seriously, "Nansun, you are so good and so outstanding. It was Zhang Anren who put you in such an unjust situation. You can't compromise with him, otherwise there will be a second time. I don't want to see you suffer."

“Suo Suo, I know you’re doing this for my own good.” Jiang Nansun’s voice was soft, her eyes lowered, and her tone was weary. “But he refuses to apologize, and I really have no other choice but to go and apologize to Wang Yongzheng myself.”

Zhu Suosuo sighed softly: "I'm even wondering if he already knew that Wang Yongzheng was in charge when he suggested to Lillian that you join Professor Dong's hotel project, and if he intended for you to gather information."

Jiang Nansun looked at Zhu Suosuo in disbelief, his mouth slightly open, his brows furrowed with worry. If what Suosuo said was true, then Zhang Anren's scheming was far too deep.

"Probably not?"

"I'm just guessing, I hope it's not true."

Jiang Nansun's opinion of Zhang Anren dropped even further. She sighed silently, wondering if leaving home because of Zhang Anren was the right or wrong thing to do.

Lin Yuan came out of the bathroom wearing only a pair of pants. His bare upper body had clearly defined lines, and his fair and muscular chest was exposed.

He walked up to Jiang Nansun and said as he walked, "It's not too late to see his true colors now. I'm still single, so why don't you think about it?"

Jiang Nansun gave him a disgruntled look, but when she saw his bare upper body, she looked away shyly: "You wish."

"Nan Sun, what's going on between you two?" Zhu Suosuo pretended not to know about their situation. "Judging from your behavior, you two are like a bickering couple. Why don't you just get together? You two are such a perfect match."

"There's nothing between him and me!" Jiang Nansun hurriedly retorted, then lightly scolded Lin Yuan, "Can you at least put your clothes on properly?"

Yesterday, she was filled with worries, only to have her first kiss stolen by Lin Yuan. Now, her best friend is teasing her again, which makes her start to overthink.

But if I really break up with Zhang Anren and get together with Lin Yuan, it doesn't seem so bad...

At least in her mind, Lin Yuan's image was much higher than Zhang Anren's.

Although this jerk stole my first kiss, slapped my butt, and sometimes even held my hand...

No, why am I comparing myself to them and then reminiscing about it?
“Yes, nothing happened between us, it’s just a pure friendship.” Lin Yuan winked at her and walked back to his room. “I’m going to put on a shirt.”

Seeing Lin Yuan return to his room to get his clothes, Zhu Suosuo's heart tightened.

Fortunately, Jiang Nansun didn't notice this detail and simply said to Zhu Suosuo, "You really want me to be with Lin Yuan that much?"

"I just feel that he's better than Zhang Anren in every way. And, you don't care at all about Zhang Anren's character?"

"I don't know, let's talk about it later."

Although she was increasingly dissatisfied with Zhang Anren, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to break up with him.

Lin Yuan put on his shirt, buttoning it as he walked, and said playfully, "Suo Suo, if you really think I'm good in every way, why don't we give it a try?"

The two had long been very close; he was just saying this to provoke Jiang Nansun.

Jiang Nansun's eyes blazed with anger. She had given him her first kiss, and he still went and flirted with Suo Suo!

Zhu Suosuo tried to smooth things over, saying helplessly, "Lin Yuan, Nan Sun has just been disappointed in Zhang Anren, so please stop joking around and upsetting her."

Lin Yuan shrugged: "It's because Sister Xia can't see how good I am."

"You're the one who's blind! You're more like blind brother!" Jiang Nansun retorted. Who said I couldn't see? Otherwise, how could you have stolen my first kiss? It wouldn't have been so easy.

Zhu Suosuo tactfully got up: "I'll go wash up first."

Lin Yuan sat down next to Jiang Nansun casually, looking her over: "Why the long face? I'm not Zhang Anren."

"You're even more annoying than him."

As Jiang Nansun spoke, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.

If Lin Yuan hadn't kissed her, she could have broken up with Zhang Anren without any guilt, but now she felt guilty towards him.

"Don't cry!" Lin Yuan said softly, frowning and looking displeased. "If there's a problem, solve it. What's there to cry about?"

Jiang Nansun was taken aback by Lin Yuan's shout. She blinked innocently at him, but tears continued to flow silently down her face.

“You are not Huan Shaojun, and Zhang Anren is not Bao Xuan. I did not instigate his report. Is it worth getting angry with yourself over someone else's mistake? Besides, what does your anger towards him have to do with me?”

Jiang Nansun wiped away her tears, her voice thick with nasal tone: "Then why did you kiss me yesterday? Don't you hate it?" "I thought you called Zhang Anren over last night to break up with him and then naturally get together with me."

Jiang Nansun tilted her head, and a question mark slowly appeared on her forehead.

Lin Yuan continued, "Who knew you were so weak, only saying a few meaningless words? If I were Zhang Anren, I would also be fearless."

Jiang Nansun wiped away her tears again: "Yes, I was just too weak, that's why you got your way."

Lin Yuan grabbed Jiang Nansun's small hand: "How can you call it a success? It was only a matter of time before we were together, it's just that the day we kissed was brought forward."

Jiang Nansun stubbornly replied, "I will never be with you."

She forcefully pulled her little hand back.

"So, you're saying I can get something for nothing and not have to take responsibility? Is that true?"

Lin Yuan deliberately feigned surprise.

Jiang Nansun was annoyed by his appearance and gently kicked his leg.

"I knew you had me in your heart."

Lin Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and slowly brought his lips closer.

Jiang Nansun, on the contrary, was fearless and completely open, even breathing on Lin Yuan: "I haven't brushed my teeth yet, kiss me if you want."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan lightly pecked her lips, then quickly pulled away.

Jiang Nansun was surprised that he didn't care, nor that the kiss would be so light. She pushed him away, stood up, and said in embarrassment and anger, "If you dare to kiss me again, I'll bite your lip until it bleeds."

"Look how anxious you are. Didn't you tell me to kiss you?" Lin Yuan feigned innocence, then solemnly explained, "Kissing can release stress and improve mood. Seeing you in pain, I just wanted to comfort you. It can also activate facial muscles, promote blood circulation, and even the exchange of saliva can enhance immunity."

Jiang Nansun stared wide-eyed at his words, not expecting him to be so good at making things up: "Don't try to fool me. You've got a whole story to tell. Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

"I really wanted to kiss you, and it really worked." Lin Yuan shrugged. "I'm really curious, why weren't you so resolute with Zhang Anren?"

"He's never kissed me."

"I feel much better now that you say that." Lin Yuan immediately became smug. "Do you think we should go and show off in front of Zhang Anren? Otherwise, it always feels like we're wearing fine clothes in the dark."

"Don't do anything rash!" Jiang Nansun quickly grabbed his sleeve, her eyes filled with urgency. She really didn't want any more trouble.

At this moment, Zhu Suosuo came out after washing up.

Lin Yuan patted Jiang Nansun's chin and urged, "Go wash up quickly, we'll go to school together in a bit."

Jiang Nansun asked in bewilderment, "Where are you going?"

“Zhang Anren will definitely go to Professor Dong to plead for you because of the whistleblowing, but what face does he have? I asked Lillian for help. Aren’t you going to apologize to Wang Yongzheng anyway? Let’s settle everything at the same time.”

Lin Yuan was too lazy to explain to Jiang Nansun that there was no need to apologize to Wang Yongzheng, and he had no intention of clearing Zhang Anren's name.

Jiang Nansun's act of apologizing itself signifies her extreme dissatisfaction with Zhang Anren's actions, and this rift will remain in her heart forever.

She paused for a moment, then said softly, "Thank you."

Even though this person was so bad, she couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Lin Yuan.

After the three of them finished breakfast at home, Zhu Suosuo took Jiang Nansun's hand and said, "Nansun, let me go with you. I'm worried about you."

Jiang Nansun had gradually calmed down and said softly, "It's okay, Suosuo. Even if Wang Yongzheng scolds me, I can accept it."

Lin Yuan chimed in from the side, "Wang Yongzheng wouldn't bear to scold you."

"why?"

“For Zhang Anren, becoming a university teacher is the only way out, but not for Wang Yongzheng. Besides, everyone has a love of beauty, so he won’t hold a grudge against you. Moreover, given his relationship with your aunt, he might just tease you or take advantage of you a little.”

"Trying to take advantage of me?"

Jiang Nansun's first reaction was that Lin Yuan had taken advantage of her.

Lin Yuan explained, "It's just a verbal advantage."

Jiang Nansun was relieved and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Compared to you, this is already quite good."

"What kind of talk is that? How can you compare these two things? How can you let someone else take advantage of you?" Lin Yuan patted her back, his voice softening. "I'm just legitimately 'borrowing' my future rights. How can you confuse the two? Let's go."

The three of them went downstairs together.

In the car, Zhu Suosuo turned to look at Jiang Nansun, her eyes sparkling: "Nansun, shall we go for a spa this afternoon?"

Jiang Nansun gently shook his head: "Let's not. We should be more careful with our money now."

“You’re a princess, and princesses can’t be compromised.” Zhu Suosuo bumped her arm, her tone brimming with boastful excitement. “Let’s go out for a big meal at noon. Who told you to have a nouveau riche friend like me? My department gave out bonuses, and I got 30,000 yuan in one go.”

Jiang Nansun chuckled softly: "If Zhang Anren saw how extravagant we are, he would be heartbroken."

Zhu Suosuo pouted: "Why would he care? It's not like it's costing him any money."

Lin Yuan interjected at the opportune moment: "Suo Suo is right. Consumption that makes people happy is never a waste."

Jiang Nansun, however, remained resentful: "Then why did you ask my dad to cancel my bank card?"

Why didn't you say I lent you money?

Seeing the two of them arguing, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but laugh.

……

When they arrived at the school, Lillian was already waiting for them downstairs in the office building.

Lillian said to Jiang Nansun, "My dad really likes Wang Yongzheng, and he's very unhappy about this, but I'll try my best to plead for him."

“Thank you, Lillian,” Jiang Nansun said softly.

Lillian smiled and shook her head, leading her toward Professor Dong's office.

Lin Yuan and Zhu Suosuo remained in the corridor.

Zhu Suosuo stood close to Lin Yuan and asked softly, "Lillian wouldn't have fallen for you, would she?"

"possible."

Zhu Suosuo was very surprised: "She asked you to help her pursue Wang Yongzheng before, and it hasn't been that long? She's already fallen for you?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm too outstanding."

Zhu Suosuo nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "Indeed."

More than half an hour later, Jiang Nansun and Lillian came out of the office together.

Lin Yuan pretended to check the time and said to Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo, "Lilian and I have something to do. You can go to Wang Yongzheng's place yourselves."

After saying that, he and Lillian turned and left.

Watching the two figures walk away side by side, Jiang Nansun pursed her lips.

After Jiang Nansun found Wang Yongzheng, Wang Yongzheng immediately wanted to take her to Professor Dong's office, but was told that she had already explained to Professor Dong with Lillian's help.

Wang Yongzheng was momentarily taken aback.

Next, Jiang Nansun looked at Wang Yongzheng with sincere eyes and apologized to him earnestly.
