Chapter 74
Before putting down the phone, Ling Yuan asked Zhou Muyun to send him that video of the farmhouse.
Zhou Muyun moved quickly and sent it to him ten minutes later.
After watching the video, Ling Yuan turned his head and called a WeChat video to Ji Yu.
Ji Yu was being mooched by her little sisters, and Yan Qimai was squeezing her smooth arm, playing with it as if she was addicted to it, loving it.
The phone rang on the coffee table, Wei Zi was close and reached out to help her take it over.
Unintentionally glanced at the name on the caller, only a single word, surprised eyes wide, pointing at the name of the person on it, “This… is the Ling I know?”
Ji Yu took the phone and said, “Thank you,” then “hmmm” again, “Should be, maybe.”
Wei Zi was familiar with Song Che, so she should be familiar with Ling Yuan as well.
“You guys are that familiar? Already familiar enough to play videos?”
She and Ling Yuan had known each other since they were young, but, how should I put it? She and Ling Yuan were still nodding acquaintances up until now, and at most there was an extra layer of her cousin’s relationship than others.
His phone has been lying in her cell phone for so long yet to call through, typically only occupying the pit without shitting.
In Wei Zi’s mind, Ling Yuan is a cold and unfeeling face, in addition to cold, arrogant, no other adjectives, yes, and not close to women, she has never seen him take the initiative to talk to any girl.
They have known each other all these years, and the words they have said add up to more than what she and Song Che say in a day.
Wei Zi would rather have a big fight with Song Che for three days and three nights, but she didn’t want to say a word to him, like a moving iceberg, freezing to death.
Seeing that he took the initiative to call a girl, oh, he took the initiative to call Ji Fishing, she was still guessing that it couldn’t be that he pressed the wrong number, right?
However, when Ji Fishing answered the phone and heard that teenager’s voice on the other side of the cell phone that was so gentle that it could drip water, Wei Zi felt that her world was completely metaphysical.
She felt that she should reacquaint herself with this high cold snow mountain.
The suite Wei Zi changed was a three-bedroom one, and each of them had a room.
Ji Yu connected the video and went back to his room, not caring about Wei Zi’s shocked and dumbfounded eyes behind her.
“Senior.”
Ling Yuan “hmmm” but didn’t say anything else, instead he kept staring at her like he was trying to find something on her face.
Ji Yu was a little shy from his look and couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, what’s wrong with you? Is there something on my face?”
“There is.” Ling Yuan smiles with his eyebrows, “There’s a very pretty little girl.”
His gaze stops on her face, his dark eyes rippling with soft light, seemingly gathered with a gentle moonshine, softness and darkness.
Ji Yu somewhat dare not look directly at his gaze, those eyes seem to carry hooks, will her into the deep vortex, she was afraid of indulging in which can not be extricated.
Her eyes rested on his perfect chin and she whispered, “What is senior talking about?”
Ling Yuan didn’t dare to push the person too far, and collected himself, coughing lightly, his tone resuming its usual laziness, “Chi Xiaoyu, I heard that you got into a fight with someone tonight?”
“Hmm. Hmm?” Ji Yu looks up in surprise, “How did you know? Who tipped you off so quickly?”
The little girl’s round eyes, like a cat with innocent eyes, were adorable.
“What? Don’t want me to know, huh? Too bad it’s too late, I have several eyes on it.”
“Then I know, it’s always those seniors, Senior Song and Brother Zihao are still at the police station, that leaves Senior Zhou.”
“Well, it’s very smart, the reasoning is completely correct.”
Ji Yu: “……”
It feels like he’s mocking her, but she has no proof.
As she thinks, Ling Yuan is talking, “I heard that someone is a 7th dan in sparring?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Very impressive.”
Ji Yu didn’t feel embarrassed in front of Zhou Muyun and the others just now, but when Ling Yuan said it so specifically, she suddenly felt a little blush, “Not really, it’s just a little bit powerful.”
She also knew that fighting was bad, so before Ling Yuan could say anything, she admitted her mistake, “Senior, don’t criticize me, I know fighting is bad, and I didn’t do much tonight.”
She usually didn’t do much unless she had to. A gentle little girl, so even in An City, very few people know that she knows sparring, and today, she also made a move because she saved the day.
After saying that, and then feel not quite right, how is it like admitting fault in front of parents?
“Didn’t want to criticize you, I fought more than you, which is qualified to criticize you?”
“Chi Xiaoyu.” Ling Yuan’s words turned and said word for word, “It’s dangerous for you to be like this today, do you know that?”
Ji Yu didn’t think so, she’s experienced more dangerous ones than this, “Just, it’s okay ……”
“Just okay?” Ling Yuan’s tone was heavier than ever, “Of course it’s okay if you have a scare this time, but what about the next time you have a different man who’s practiced just like you? Not every opponent is as weak as Silver Hair. At that time, what will you do? Can you still protect yourself?”
With four eyes facing each other, even if Chi Yu was slow, she knew that Ling Yuan was angry.
Ji Yu froze, “I’m just like this because I can see that he’s a wild one, if he’s a practiced one, I’ll definitely do it in a different way.”
“Dare you to be quite proud of yourself, right?”
Ling Yuan was about to be laughed at, the art of being tall and bold was what she was talking about.
“That’s not true, I also know how to read people okay?”
“Then do I have to praise you? Ji Little Fish.”
Ji Yu was careful, “If you want to compliment, it’s not impossible.”
Then there was an expression of come and compliment me.
Ling Yuan: “……”
His back teeth bit down on the soft flesh on his cheeks and exhaled two mouthfuls of cloudy air, forget it, what was he angry with her for? It wasn’t her fault either.
As a matter of fact, he really had no way to deal with her, hit, surely he couldn’t hit, scold, also couldn’t scold, threaten, he couldn’t even spare a heavy word.
What else could it be?
It’s always the same, she fights, he protects on the side, she gets into trouble, he gives her a good aftermath.
He was finding himself an ancestor, and it was right to spoil her to death.
“Alright, it’s fine if you want to fight, but I have one condition.”
Ji Yu blinked her pretty eyes, “What condition?”
“In the future, before you make a move, you must protect yourself first. Ji Little Fish, remember? Don’t let me worry.”
When the teenager said this, his eyes stared straight at her, inexplicably making Ji Yu feel that he valued himself.
Ji Yu’s breath wavered at his hot gaze, her heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, and suddenly she remembered Song Che and Wei Zi’s pair, once again an odd feeling rose, if he wasn’t GAY, then didn’t he kind of like her?
If he didn’t like it, he wasn’t her brother, so how could he care about a brother’s stepsister?
The thought passed through her mind.
Otherwise, she thought, let’s wait and see.
However, once the thought took root in her head, she couldn’t restrain herself from thinking about the possibility and her heart beat faster.
She averted her face and forced herself to calm down.
“Okay, okay, senior, I’ll protect myself.”
Ling Yuan, however, frowned, “Why is your face so red all of a sudden? Catching a cold? It’s a bit windy at night, went out and wore less?”
