Beijing-Hong Kong Affair

Chapter 43 A lonely man and a widow
When a man and a woman are alone in a room, there is always some ambiguous feelings growing quietly.

Especially the steam that Jiang Yunian brought out from the bathroom was emitting hot steam, and the air became humid and hot.

Lin Xian stared at the advertisements on TV without looking away, as if she wanted to stare through the TV.

Jiang Yunian turned sideways to face Lin Xian, raised his head and took a big sip of water.

He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his upper body is straight, his muscles are full and powerful, and there is a hint of sexiness as drops of water slide across his Adam's apple.

Lin Xian's earlobes turned red, and Jiang Yunian's mouth corners slightly raised.

He slowed down the action of drinking water, and his Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed.

Lin Xian's gaze lingered on his Adam's apple, and then she thought of some things that she shouldn't have thought of. She quickly looked away, fearing that if her gaze moved down, she would see something she shouldn't see.

Jiang Yunian noticed that Lin Xian was lowering her head again and sighed silently.

He put down the bottle of mineral water and stared at Lin Xian's face. "Don't worry about that. Just study hard. It's just that the phone number may not be usable."

"Oh."

Jiang Yunian fastened his belt and walked to sit next to Lin Xian, "I met Chen Ji today."

Lin Xian turned her head suddenly and said, "Don't pay attention to him. I've already told him that we have nothing to do with each other."

"It doesn't matter?"

Jiang Yunian smiled bitterly in his heart. Even though he had deceived the marriage, they were still a legal couple.

Lin Xian saw the emotions surging in his eyes, her lips slightly opened, but she couldn't utter a word.

Jiang Yunian looked her straight in the eye, restrained and calmly asked, "Aren't we husband and wife?"

Lin Xian complained in a low voice: "I'm just afraid that he will cause you trouble. He won't stop until he achieves his goal."

Jiang Yunian raised his eyebrows, "So you told him that we have nothing to do with each other because of me?"

"Forget it, guess it."

Lin Xian always felt that Jiang Yunian's gaze today was too scorching, and she was unable to resist.

The corners of Jiang Yunian's lips curled up in a beautiful arc, "I understand, Ah Xian."

Ah Xian, this name seems a little ambiguous at this time.

The warm yellow light from the living room sprinkled on Jiang Yunian's body, casting a hazy halo on him, making him look softer. The pectoral muscles under his collarbone were faintly visible, which made people imagine more.

"Dr. Jiang..."

"Given our relationship, don't call me Doctor Jiang anymore. It's very formal."

"Then what should I call you?"

"A Nian?"

Lin Xian could feel Jiang Yunian's breath approaching, and her heart seemed to be hit by a heavy object and suddenly began beating very fast.

"Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you. You can call me whatever you want. I heard that Ji Hanzhou took you out for dinner today?"

There was a flash of surprise in Lin Xian's eyes, "How did you know?"

Jiang Yunian did not answer immediately. Lin Xian clenched her hands and said in a trembling voice, "Is that secretly photographed post still being updated? Please tell Professor Ji not to come to me again. I am very troubled."

Jiang Yunian raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

Lin Xian looked into Jiang Yunian's deep eyes and decided to tell him the truth.

"I was a loner in high school, but one day the class monitor talked to me and someone filmed it. Then my roommate secretly took pictures of me changing clothes and spread rumors that I seduced the class monitor... This matter escalated, and at that time I no longer dared to talk to boys alone."

Lin Xian tried to calmly tell her past experience. Jiang Yunian clenched his fists with veins bulging.

Why did he just treat her as a chance encounter back then? If he had been with her earlier, would he have been able to protect her well?

Jiang Yunian blamed himself and felt guilty, but Lin Xian comforted him: "It's all over. This time I'm stronger inside because I have you. You're willing to believe in me and give me confidence. I don't care about gossip. Those who are innocent will be innocent."

Jiang Yunian looked into her eyes and couldn't help but hold her hand. "I'm sorry for bringing up your sad story."

Lin Xian attributed his action to the care between friends.

She patted the back of Jiang Yunian's hand and said, "It's okay. I have a few ideas about this matter that I want to discuss with you. Do you want to change your clothes first?"

The beauty was gone in an instant. Jiang Yunian coughed twice, "I'll go change it right away. I was in a hurry to get out just now and forgot."

Lin Xian looked at his back in a daze, but she knew she had to suppress those inappropriate thoughts.

He can only be a friend and a teacher.

The only thing is that they can’t be lovers.

Jiang Yunian changed into a home sports suit, and one could tell from years of fitness training.

He held medicine and gauze in his hand, "I'll change your medicine first. I bought a waterproof patch today. You won't be afraid of taking a shower if you put it on."

"Ah."

Jiang Yunian squatted down in front of her and peeled off the old gauze. Lin Xian gasped in pain.

Jiang Yunian raised his eyes to look at her, "Be patient, I have good skills."

Lin Xian just felt her ears getting hotter.

Jiang Yunian looked focused, his slender fingers working on her knee, disinfecting, changing the dressing, and applying waterproof tape, all in one go.

Lin Xian secretly admired him in her heart.

"Tell me your thoughts and I'll analyze them."

Lin Xian expressed her doubts, "I think the person who wants to get me must have a bigger conspiracy, but I don't rule out the possibility of forming an alliance with others. The person who kidnapped me might be Luo Hao's man, but he might also be the one being used."

"Qiao Zijin. I guess it's her, but I don't understand. Is it worth it for her to go through so much trouble for a man? What on earth is there for a poor student like me to be worthy of her attention?"

Jiang Yunian put away the medicine and looked up at her. "Maybe you have a secret that you don't even know, but she happened to know it, so she wants to kill you."

This is just Jiang Yunian's guess and there is no evidence.

Lin Xian shook her head. "At first I thought she liked Chen Ji, but with Chen Ji's personality, she wouldn't just target me."

Jiang Yunian stood up and ruffled Lin Xian's hair. "Don't think about it. Isn't there a full class tomorrow?"

Lin Xian met his gaze, "How did you know?"

Jiang Yunian smiled and said, "Someone who was forced to live in the dormitory took a photo of it for me. Your desk is very tidy."

Lu Xiyuan had just had a fight with her brother yesterday, but they made up today.

They have a really good relationship as siblings.

"Then I'm going to take a shower first. I have a test tomorrow and I still have to memorize my lessons."

Jiang Yunian resisted the urge to pinch Lin Xian's earlobe and said, "I'll accompany you."

The night fell quiet.

Lin Xian washed her face several times with cold water in the bathroom before the dryness on her face disappeared.

After taking a shower, she chose a skirt so that the situation like yesterday would not happen again.

Jiang Yunian replied to a few messages in the study and asked a friend to recommend a private detective.

But Chen Ji was worried about going alone to check.

He needs confirmation from multiple sources.

There was a knock on the door. Jiang Yunian collected his thoughts and went to greet it.

The light blue nightgown is decorated with floral patterns, fresh and relaxed.

Her hair was loose and her eyes were sparkling. "Doctor Jiang, please check this book."

Jiang Yunian took the book and his fingertips brushed Lin Xian's palm inadvertently. "This book has very complicated words. Go lie down on the bed and get comfortable."

On the bed, lying, comfortable.

Just by listening to these few words, Lin Xian felt as if her palms were on fire and her throat was inexplicably dry.

　Jiang Yunian: I have hinted clearly.
