Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 67. But I'm a little greedy.
No sooner had the doctor finished speaking than Jiang Wang, who was only up to their shoulders, rushed over and grabbed Lin Feng's clothes tightly, his childish voice full of anger.

"Speak! What have you all done!"

Lin Feng was caught off guard. If he hadn't been leaning against the wall, he would have been pinned to the ground by Jiang Wang.

The boy's face was filled with panic and helplessness: "I, I don't know... we were just chatting, and..."

"smokes."

Ji Yanci, standing next to him, slightly raised his Adam's apple and looked up at the doctor, his voice hoarse.

"When she came back, she saw us smoking."

The doctor frowned, called over a nurse and gave her a few instructions, then said to Jiang's mother, "Please go with the nurse to see your daughter."

With tears in her eyes, Jiang's mother got up and followed the nurse into the ward.

A short while later, the two returned.

The nurse, supporting Jiang's mother whose eyes were red and swollen, nodded to the doctor.

Seeing this, the doctor sighed.

"There is an 80% probability that your daughter's illness is related to cigarettes. She... may have experienced some terrible things, and cigarettes were the trigger. Seeing or smelling smoke reminds her of those bad experiences."

"My suggestion is to try to prevent her from being exposed to these triggers in the future, and then gradually provide psychological counseling and treatment to see if the situation improves..."

Since then, Ji Yanci would never touch a cigarette as long as Jiang Jixu was around.

Over the years, he has remained consistent in his actions. Even when they have gatherings, if he knows that a girl is coming, Ji Yanci will inform them in advance and forbid them from smoking indoors.

Go outside to smoke, and when you're done, let the smoke dissipate before coming back.

This has almost become an unspoken rule among people in their circle.

Lin Feng remembered that someone had brought their girlfriend over.

The other person ignored the advice and insisted on smoking, even scoffing and mocking, "What's wrong with an adult smoking a cigarette? If she had any sense, she should have avoided these kinds of gatherings. Why should everyone accommodate her? Where did this rule come from?"

The people present fell silent, but Lin Feng could tell that many of them agreed.

They may have been harboring resentment for a long time.

Women are just targets they've pushed out.

But Ji Yanci only said one sentence.

"These are my rules. If you don't agree, then get out."

Later, not only was that woman driven out of the capital, but even the young master who brought the woman had his family's company go bankrupt due to the Ji family's targeting.

Since then, those who were secretly plotting have fallen silent.

Lin Feng snapped out of his reverie and said jokingly, "Brother Ci, what's the difference between you and the domineering CEO in romance novels?"

To establish rules for one person so meticulously and domineeringly.

If he hadn't known that Ji Yanci really didn't have those feelings for Jiang Jixu...

They might also be misled by some of the men's behaviors.

Lin Feng sighed, "No wonder Miss Jiang has been chasing you for so many years."

Who wouldn't be tempted?
Ji Yanci's emotions faded, and he said coolly, "So what?"

That person is just holding grudges and forgetting the good.

Just as Lin Feng was about to say that Jiang Jixu was definitely playing hard to get, the scene he saw near A University yesterday suddenly flashed into his mind.

Jiang Jixu stood in the middle of a group of boys and eventually got into one of their cars.

Lin Feng paused.

Then I remembered what Ji Yanci said: the girl photoshopped a picture of a marriage certificate.

For some reason, he had a vague sense of unease, but he suppressed it with a bit of wishful thinking.

Perhaps it really is as Ji Yanci said, that Jiang Jixu did it on purpose, to provoke him, and to play hard to get?
Right, that is it.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that I ran into Jiang Jixu and Jiang Wang while I was at University A on business?

Lin Feng seemed to have convinced himself.

But after the party ended, he inexplicably sent a message to Wu Ze.

What happened between you and Jiang Jixu today?

*
Jiang Jixu led Lu Lishen a long way. She only stopped when she realized she seemed to have taken the wrong path.

"I'm sorry about earlier. Because of what happened in the past, I dragged you into this, you..."

The girl turned around and saw the man's lips curled up in a smile, as if he were about to write "I'm very happy right now" directly on his flawless face with a water-based pen.

The rest of the words were stuck in his throat.

She paused for a moment, then asked uncertainly:

"...You're not angry, are you?"

Judging from this expression, it seems not.

But that doesn't make sense!
The man looked sullen when he came out of the movie theater, but his mood improved after someone provoked him.

Could it be that Lu Lishen has masochistic tendencies?

But that doesn't make sense. If she hadn't stopped them in time, the two of them might have already started fighting.

Lu Lishen's long, narrow, dark eyes were sparkling with starlight, captivating and mesmerizing. His thin, crimson lips curved into a smile, as if he could read her thoughts, and he said softly:

"I was a little angry at first."

"But I was captivated by my sister's heroic bearing."

Jiang Jixu: "...?"

Lu Lishen lowered his eyes, his gaze subtly sweeping over the two people's intertwined hands, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He was so handsome that he was dazzling and blushed.

His heart pounded uncontrollably.

God knows how much willpower he used to restrain himself from pulling Jiang Jixu into his arms when he heard the girl say, "He is my husband, we are already married."

It felt like I was soaking in honey.

Her words were like a giant hand, kneading his heart back and forth, making him feel weak all over, as if he were riding on soft bubbles, ready to fly to the sky in the next second.

Lu Lishen admitted that he felt good.

GC in both psychological and physical senses.

It made him so excited and happy that he almost trembled all over.

Lu Lishen's ears turned red, and his Adam's apple bobbed: "But sister, I still feel a little sad."

Jiang Jixu noticed that the man's voice was a little hoarse when he spoke, and even the corners of his eyes were a little red.

She does look very wronged.

Her heart softened without her realizing it.

Someone like Lu Lishen, who has probably only heard praise and compliments since childhood, would naturally feel upset to be called a "pretty boy" by Wu Ze.

Jiang Jixu thought for a moment, then suddenly took two steps forward, looked at him, and said in a soft, clear voice, "Close your eyes."

Lu Lishen's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She obediently closed her eyes.

Jiang Jixu stood on tiptoe.

The next second, the man felt a slight coolness on his lips.

Something round was inserted.

The sweetness instantly spread from the tip of the tongue.

Lu Lishen opened his eyes, and the girl's smiling face was reflected in his dark pupils.

"Eat a piece of candy, and you'll forget all your unhappy things."

His fingers twitched slightly, his voice a little hoarse: "But I'm still a little greedy."

Jiang Jixu thought the man was talking about candy, and subconsciously reached into her bag.

"If that's not enough, I have more here..."

The rest of the words were stuck in his throat.
