Ji Xiaonian noisily kicked up a fuss, but Bai Yan simply ignored her.
He also refused to explain why the girl had woken up on his bed.
Ji Xiaonian glared at his expressionless face, but she was so angry that she did not know what to do.
No, she could not just let this matter go.
Otherwise, it would be too easy for Bai Yan.
An impulsive thought flashed through her mind before she suddenly pounced on Bai Yan without any warning.
Bai Yan was sitting there while angling his fishing rod in the water. He never imagined that Ji Xiaonian would suddenly pounce on him, so he was completely unprepared and had no time to avoid it. His entire body fell backward and his backside left the bench soon after that. When he was lying on the grass, he instantly felt the bold little girl crawling up on his chest within seconds.
The man’s expression darkened. He was just about to coldly rebuke her when he unexpectedly felt a soft, cottony thing covering his lips.
Bai Yan was slightly shocked and his pupils widened when he looked at Ji Xiaonian, who was right in front of him.
He never thought that the girl would suddenly pounce on him and forcefully kiss him.
Bai Yan was a 28-year-old man who was over 6 feet tall. How could he let that little girl take advantage of him?
This little girl… She was certainly boy-crazy!
Bai Yan frowned and then was suddenly filled with anger.
Before he could push her away, Bai Yan felt a painful sensation traveling through his lips. Moments later, the girl moved her lips away before she straddled his abdomen and fiercely said, “You took advantage of me last night, so I’m giving you a taste of your own medicine now. Now we’re even.”
Bai Yan lay there and temporarily forgot how to deal with that little girl who feared nothing.
Ji Xiaonian was still straddling his abdomen when she glared menacingly at him. She was about to lean forward and bite him a few times when a young woman’s shocked cries suddenly rang out nearby.
“Ji Xiaonian, what are you doing?”
When she heard the noise, Ji Xiaonian turned her head. She was stunned to see the woman who ran over from a nearby area.
Before she could react, Fang Miaoling pulled her over in one swift motion before she frantically helped Bai Yan, who was pressed against the ground. Fang Miaoling anxiously asked, “Professor Bai, are you alright?”
Bai Yan waved his hand and broke away from Fang Miaoling’s grasp before he said, “I’m fine.”
He stood up as he said that. Bai Yan truly could not believe the things that happened earlier. He hurriedly left without even glancing at the two girls because he was slightly embarrassed as well.
When Fang Miaoling noticed that Bai Yan had walked further away, she shifted her gaze to Ji Xiaonian and glared at her. Next, she angrily shouted, “Ji Xiaonian, how dare you seduce Professor Bai? How could you do that? I can’t believe that I always thought that you were innocent.”
Ji Xiaonian only responded several moments later. She looked at the young woman before her, but instead of answering her question, she asked, “You… Why are you here?”
Previously, her brother had mentioned that Bai Yan went to fetch someone from Ning University.
‘That person… Could that person have been my dormmate, Fang Miaoling?’
‘However, that doesn’t make any sense. Why did Bai Yan bring Fang Miaoling over to have fun with them? Did they share some kind of relationship?’
“I should be asking you that instead. Why are you here? Could it be that you secretly followed us when you saw Professor Bai picking me up? Ji Xiaonian, I truly never imagined that you would stoop so low. How could you be so shameless? I can’t believe that you would openly seduce Professor Bai. Do you think that I won’t tell everyone at university about this? Everyone is going to condemn you for it.”
Fang Miaoling furiously glared at Ji Xiaonian because it seemed like the latter was trying to steal the man whom she loved. It seemed like she was going to swallow her up.
Ji Xiaonian was completely dumbfounded after hearing what Fang Miaoling said.
‘Why did Bai Yan have to bring Fang Miaoling here?’
She dismissed the other girl’s anger before curiously asking, “Why did he bring you here? Are you two very close?”
Ji Xiaonian had grown up with Bai Yan ever since she was little. She understood that man as well as the back of her own hand, and she knew that he had never been involved in any scandals.
Furthermore, this girl was her dormmate. She merely had an average appearance, and her family background was average as well. Why did Bai Yan bring her along?
“Why do you care whether he picked me up? Also, it doesn’t concern you whether we’re close or not. Ji Xiaonian, I’m warning you that if you shamelessly seduce Professor Bai, I’m definitely going to tell everyone at university about it.”
“You should just mind your own business. Hmph!”
Fang Miaoling stared at Ji Xiaonian as the latter gritted her teeth and yelled. After that, she hurriedly ran off in the direction where Bai Yan had disappeared.
Only Ji Xiaonian remained there. She sat on the ground in shock and allowed her mind to wander.
She desperately tried to figure everything out, but she still failed to understand it. Why was Bai Yan trying to get involved with an ordinary person like Fang Miaoling? This was truly outrageous!
Two people leisurely walked over from a nearby area.
Ji Chen chuckled before he teasingly asked, “Why are you alone? Where’s the other person?”
When she heard her brother’s voice, Ji Xiaonian hurriedly stood up and held Ji Chen as she asked, “Brother, do you know what kind of relationship Bai Yan has with my dormmate, Fang Miaoling? Why did he bring her here?”
Fang Miaoling was a student from the chemistry faculty. Bai Yan taught in Ning University’s chemistry faculty as well. However, Ji Xiaonian still could not figure out how the pair were connected.
“Are you talking about the girl that just left? Is that the person that Bai Yan went to fetch? Your dormmate?”
Ji Chen saw another girl yelling at his sister in the distance earlier. Initially, he wanted to come over and ask what had happened, but he did not expect that the other girl would leave before he could arrive.
“Yes, the person that Bai Yan went to fetch is my dormmate. What exactly is the relationship between them? Why did he go and pick her up? Do you think that he likes her?”
Ji Xiaonian could not figure out the exact relationship they shared. However, there was a chance that Bai Yan actually liked Fang Miaoling because he intentionally went to fetch her so they could have a good time. Ji Xiaonian felt that her heart was going to jump out of her chest because she was so anxious.
‘What should I do? What should I do?”
If Bai Yan had really fallen in love with her dormmate, could she even do anything about it?
Ji Chen’s chest hurt and he felt uncomfortable when he noticed that the little girl before him was terribly worried. He hurriedly patted her shoulder and consoled her, saying, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. There’s nothing special about that girl just now. Xiaonian, there’s a huge difference between you and her as well. Yan would never have such bad taste. I’m going to go over there and ask, so you should just wait for me here.”
Ji Xiaonian enthusiastically nodded before she replied, “Yes, please hurry. I need to know the answer.”
Ji Chen glanced at Lu Yifei who was beside him before he said, “Comfort her for a while. I’m going to take a look.”
Lu Yifei nodded before he watched Ji Chen leave.
When he shifted his gaze and looked at the young woman before him who was about to cry, he reached his hand out and stroked her little face. The corners of Lu Yifei’s lips curled up into a smile before he asked, “Do you feel threatened?”
Ji Xiaonian quickly slapped his hand away before she firmly sat on the grass. “Leave me alone.”
She truly felt threatened now. Ji Xiaonian was afraid that there was something between Bai Yan and Fang Miaoling. She was also worried that Bai Yan truly liked someone else now.
Deep down, Ji Xiaonian was so worried that she wanted to die. She could not sit still, so she stood up again and paced up and down.
When Lu Yifei noticed that she was truly anxious, he stood beside her and gently consoled her, saying, “Trust me, Bai Yan doesn’t have such bad taste. You have to realize that even if the big boss of Shengtian had a girlfriend, she would have to be equally matched in terms of status. The girl that we saw just now is definitely too ordinary for him.”
“But what if Fang Miaoling really is his type?” Ji Xiaonian argued.
