Chapter 31 p2: The Cannon Fodder A Who Has a Crush on the Female Lead O (28)
That night, the two of them did nothing, just quietly hugging each other to sleep.
Jiang Mengyu’s susceptible period lasted for a total of three days. She took three days off, and Chi Jingyan didn’t go to class either, staying with her all along. Only after Jiang Mengyu’s susceptible period was over did the two of them go back to school.
Although Chi Jingyan had never said that she liked Jiang Mengyu, after these three days of companionship, the relationship between the two had finally warmed up again.
Anyone with eyes could see that the atmosphere between them was strange.
In contrast, Chu Muyao was much more low-key and had not spoken to Chi Jingyan again.
Chi Jingyan had been having a good time lately. Perhaps it was to thank Chi Jingyan for her help, or perhaps Jiang Mengyu had gradually noticed Chi Jingyan’s thoughts. In short, she was much gentler to Chi Jingyan, almost to the point of being at her beck and call.
In the empty classroom, the two of them secretly kissed, avoiding others.
Chi Jingyan sucked a new love bite on Jiang Mengyu’s body. Jiang Mengyu let out a light gasp. She relaxed and leaned against the wall, letting Chi Jingyan’s teeth nibble at her skin slowly.
By the time Chi Jingyan raised her head, Jiang Mengyu’s collar was almost a mess.
“A-Yan,” when Jiang Mengyu said this, her hand was still wrapped around Chi Jingyan’s waist.
“Others will see.”
“Then let them see,” Chi Jingyan didn’t care at all. On the contrary, she was even a little looking forward to the love bite on Jiang Mengyu’s body being seen.
Jiang Mengyu didn’t speak. Chi Jingyan looked at her forbearing and silent appearance, and her heart felt even more itchy. But thinking that they were at school, she finally held back.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to eat French food last night?” Chi Jingyan reached out and tidied Jiang Mengyu’s clothes. “I had Secretary Zhao book a table.”
Chi Jingyan was indeed generous enough to her lover. At least in terms of material things, she never treated Jiang Mengyu badly. The supplementary card was even for Jiang Mengyu to use as she pleased.
However, Jiang Mengyu had not bought anything for herself so far. What she had bought with Chi Jingyan’s card were all gifts for Chi Jingyan.
Knowing that all these things were bought with her own money, Chi Jingyan was still very happy. 031 looked at her love-struck appearance and couldn’t help but close its electronic eyes.
It was really unbearable to watch!
The plot corruption value had slowly risen to 80.
That was a full 80!!
031 thought for a moment. The current mission progress was only 60. It was possible that the plot would completely collapse before the mission was completed!
031 really wanted to persuade the Host to stop, but unfortunately, it had long been muted by the Host and had not been released until now.
There were too many tears to say.
Jiang Mengyu couldn’t hear 031’s wail, and Chi Jingyan was even more clueless.
She was still thinking about going on a date with Jiang Mengyu after school, but who knew that she would be called back by a phone call from her mother.
“Jingyan, something has happened at home. Come back first.”
Mother Chi’s tone was very serious. Chi Jingyan subconsciously looked at Jiang Mengyu, who was following behind her. “What’s wrong?”
Mother Chi sighed.
“Old Master is seriously ill and is in the hospital now.”
…
The floor where Old Master Chi was staying was guarded by bodyguards. Except for the Chi family, no one else could enter. Jiang Mengyu could only wait outside.
Chi Jingyan didn’t want her to show her face in front of her mother again, so as not to be seen as something was wrong at this critical juncture.
Jiang Mengyu could only carefully avoid others.
She stood in place, watching Chi Jingyan’s hastily departing figure. The other party was walking with the other members of the Chi family, the distance between them and Jiang Mengyu growing farther and farther, as if they were separated into two worlds, with an insurmountable chasm in between.
“Do you see?”
Chi Jia’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
Jiang Mengyu glanced to the side and saw Chi Jia walking slowly to her side, her eyes also fixed on Chi Jingyan’s back.
“Although grandfather only allows the Chi family to visit, if it were Chu Muyao who came today, do you think she would be like you, only able to hide in a deserted corner, pitifully watching Chi Jingyan leave?”
Of course not.
Jiang Mengyu ignored her. Chi Jia was already used to it. “Grandfather’s health has not been very good this year. It’s just that he looks quite healthy on the surface.”
“Besides the company, the only thing he’s most worried about is Chi Jingyan.”
Chi Jia finally turned to look at Jiang Mengyu. “Do you think he will take advantage of this serious illness to let Chi Jingyan and Chu Muyao get engaged in advance?”
…
Chi Jia’s guess was indeed correct.
At this moment, in the hospital room, Old Master Chi was already awake. He coughed a few times in a low voice. Seeing that Chi Jingyan was standing not far away, he beckoned to her.
“Jingyan, come here.”
Chi Jingyan sat on the stool in front of the hospital bed.
Old Master Chi’s gaze was gentle. “How have you and Muyao been lately?”
Chi Jingyan paused. “There are still two months until the college entrance examination. We haven’t considered that much for the time being.”
Old Master Chi looked at her meaningfully. “Is that really so?”
“Isn’t it because you’re fooling around with an Alpha and have been neglecting Muyao?”
Chi Jingyan was not surprised that Old Master Chi would know about this matter. After all, she and Jiang Mengyu were not very good at hiding it. Although they would pretend not to be familiar with each other at school, if one observed carefully, one could still see the clues.
But Chi Jingyan was sure that Old Master Chi probably didn’t know that Jiang Mengyu’s pheromones were very special.
Grandfather was old after all. He would leave one day, and the power in his hands should be slowly handed over to the younger generation.
Chi Jingyan lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Seeing this, Old Master Chi couldn’t help but sigh. “I can’t control you young people anymore. But Jingyan, you should also know what you can do and what you can’t do.”
“A rare Alpha, you’ve never seen one, so it’s fine if you’re curious and want to try something new. But if you really fall in love, it would be a bit foolish.”
Chi Jingyan’s fingers tightened. She had said the same thing about Jiang Mengyu before, but at this moment, hearing Old Master Chi belittle Jiang Mengyu, Chi Jingyan felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Mother Chi was a little confused by Old Master Chi’s words. “Jingyan?”
“What Alpha?”
She had been busy with other things these days and hadn’t paid much attention to Chi Jingyan. Mother Chi had always thought that Chi Jingyan and Chu Muyao had a very good relationship.
Chi Jingyan endured it for a long time, but in the end, she didn’t show any abnormality. Her tone was faint. “An unimportant person, just playing around.”
Mother Chi knitted her brows. She did not agree with Chi Jingyan’s words. How could Jingyan do such a thing?
She and her husband had clearly taught her many times that she must be serious and responsible in her relationships.
By doing this, had she not thought about what Muyao would think in her heart?
Mother Chi was not happy, but she did not flare up on the spot. Old Master Chi, on the other hand, was very satisfied with Chi Jingyan’s words.
“It’s right for you to think so.”
“Grandfather’s health is getting worse day by day. My biggest wish now is to see you settle down.”
“Although you’re still young now, that child Muyao was also watched by your parents and me as she grew up. We’re very at ease with her and believe that she can take good care of you.”
In the end, Old Master Chi patted Chi Jingyan’s hand. Although his tone seemed gentle, it carried an undeniable force. “Grandfather wants to hold an engagement ceremony for you as soon as possible. What do you think?”
Chi Jingyan was silent for a long time. Under the dual gazes of Old Master Chi and her mother, she could only nod very slightly in the end. “I’ll listen to grandfather.”
Only then did Old Master Chi show a smile. “It’s right for you to think so.”
Chi Jingyan was silent.
…
031 suddenly found that the plot corruption value had changed, slowly changing from 80 to 79.
031: [!!! Host!!]
[Did you see that!!]
Jiang Mengyu: “I saw it.”
It only dropped by 1 point. Was it worth it for it to be so excited?
031 cried with joy: [You don’t understand!]
This was the first time the plot corruption value had not risen but fallen!
It was really gratifying!
031 believed that if there was 1, there would be 2, and then there would be 80. Sooner or later, the plot would return to the right track!
Oh no, it should be 79 now, hehe!
However, 031 was still a little curious. Why did the plot corruption value suddenly drop by one point?
Jiang Mengyu’s eyes were faint. “I don’t know.”
But she actually knew very well that it was most likely that Chi Jingyan had been forced to make a choice against her will, and her choice happened to conform to the development of the original plot.
However, all of this was still within Jiang Mengyu’s expectations.
Jiang Mengyu looked up at the sky. She thought carelessly, from the fact that the plot corruption value had only dropped by 1 point, Chi Jingyan must be very unconvinced in her heart.
031 was still rambling in her mind. [By the way, Host, there’s another strange thing. Didn’t the original novel say that Old Master Chi would only become seriously ill next year?]
Why was it so much earlier?
Jiang Mengyu: “How would I know.”
031 looked at the cold expression on the Host’s face. Although the Host acted very innocent, it had a feeling.
This matter must have something to do with the Host.
…
Just as Jiang Mengyu had thought, Chi Jingyan was indeed very resistant.
After coming out of the hospital room, she looked unchanged on the surface, but the emotion in her eyes had become cold and heavy.
Old Master was old. He had clearly reached the age of enjoying his old age, but he was still unwilling to let go of the power in his hands, always trying to manipulate the fate of the younger generation.
It was fine before. Chi Jingyan didn’t care about these things, so she could interact with Chu Muyao without any psychological burden.
But now, just thinking of the person who was still waiting for her, Chi Jingyan could no longer bear to really get involved with someone else.
She had a feeling that if she really did that, Jiang Mengyu would be very angry.
Chi Jingyan subconsciously didn’t want to make Jiang Mengyu sad.
What a pity. She had wanted to take it slow, but who knew that Old Master would suddenly become seriously ill, forcing Chi Jingyan to change her plan.
Grandfather had lived long enough.
Chi Jingyan thought with a blank expression.
Grandmother in the underworld should have been looking forward to a reunion for a long time, right?
Why not let her, as a granddaughter, personally send him on his way?
