Rumor has it that the young master has a hidden illness

Hearing Jing Rou's words, Jing Sichen clenched his fists.

She was so sensible that he felt extremely apologetic.

"Hurry up!" Jingrou urged. "I'll stay here with Grandpa for a bit. The driver will take me back later."

Jing Sichen looked at Jing Rou, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"Rou Rou, thank you. I will always be your brother, and this brother-sister bond will never change."

Watching Jing Sichen turn and walk away, Jing Rou clenched her fists, feeling empty inside, her eyes surging with hatred that she couldn't hide.

Did he really leave?

Is Lin Lulu really that important to him?

After Jing Sichen left, Jing Youxiong asked, "Rou Rou, are you really not going to want him anymore? He's the person you like the most!"

"Of course I won't give up so easily." Jingrou's eyes welled up with tears as she continued, "But rather than crying and making a scene to annoy him, I'd rather pretend to be carefree and make him feel guilty. Then, with a few simple tricks, Lin Lulu won't be a match for me! Grandpa, you'll definitely be on my side, won't you?"

"Hahaha—" Jing Youxiong burst into laughter, "Rou Rou, Grandpa really didn't teach you for nothing! This is the spirit that the Jing family should have! Don't worry, whatever you want to do, Grandpa will do his best to cooperate! Only you can truly marry Si Chen! As long as I live, he can forget about really marrying Lin Lulu!"

"I knew Grandpa was the best!" Jingrou giggled. "Now, I don't have to do anything. I just need to be obedient and make Brother feel indebted to me! Don't I still have Lin Ao'ao as a pawn? As long as the strategy is proper, I won't even need to lift a finger. Brother will naturally know who the best is!"

"And don't forget to take care of yourself," Jing Youxiong said. "Lin Lulu is nothing to worry about. At worst, I'll just kill her!"

"No, please!" Jingrou said urgently. "I know my brother. Even if Lin Lulu dies, he won't agree to marry me! I want him to be completely disappointed in Lin Lulu, and then realize how good I am. Then, he will naturally choose me."

Jing Youxiong nodded and affectionately stroked Jing Rou's hair.

The most urgent thing is to cure her illness as soon as possible!

**

After sleeping for so long, Lin Lulu felt incredibly refreshed.

She has two classes in the afternoon; if she doesn't dawdle, she can still make it.

Walking along the tree-lined path, feeling the flow of people coming and going, her heart finally calmed down a little.

Having experienced so much since childhood, she didn't want to let herself be consumed by terror because of a kidnapping.

But honestly, just thinking about last night still makes her tremble with fear.

Feeling the vibrant energy of the school, she seemed to draw courage from it, and her steps became more confident.

Around her, the female students huddled together in twos and threes, all discussing the same topic: the school's new counselor was incredibly handsome!

"I saw him that day! Even though there was a glass barrier, he was absolutely stunning! I could be smitten with his looks for a lifetime!"

"I saw it too! I tried so hard to talk to him, but he didn't respond to a single syllable!"

"Who is he anyway?! Judging by his clothes, he's definitely a rich kid! He's here to experience life!"

After seeing him, all my questions were reduced to one: How can I become his girlfriend?

"You're so greedy! I just want to shake his hand!"

Lin Lulu: Psychological counselor?

She had heard about this teacher's reputation for several days. Apparently, he was newly transferred here, incredibly handsome, and the object of affection for all the girls in the school, causing all the boys in the school to collectively experience heartbreak.

Moreover, I've heard that his professional skills are top-notch, and there's no problem he can't solve, especially his healing abilities.

Lin Lulu pouted, wondering if it would be better to consult someone after being kidnapped and frightened last night.

Since we still have time, why don't we go take a look?

Just treat it as looking at handsome guys!

Is he as handsome as an older man?

She originally thought there would be a very long queue.

But when they arrived at the door, they found that the teacher was almost never at school. Right now, the door was locked tightly, clearly indicating that she was not there.

No wonder no one was waiting for him here.

I came for nothing!

Just as I was about to leave, I heard a voice say, "Come in, classmate."

Eh?

Suddenly, why does this voice sound so familiar?

It sounds like an older man's voice!

But how could he possibly be here?

Moreover, upon closer inspection, one can discern that the sounds are not exactly the same.

So she pushed open the office door and went in to find out what was going on.

Everything that came into view made Lin Lulu's thin lips part slightly.

The office was spacious and luxurious, even more upscale than the principal's office. A large chair was facing away from her, and the teacher was sitting behind the chair, out of her sight.

"Sit down," he said first.

Lin Lulu then snapped out of her daze and quickly greeted, "Hello, teacher!"

Jing Sichen, sitting behind the chair, revealed a smug look on his face.

When he applied for this job, he never expected Lin Lulu to come.

Does she have a question she needs to consult?

What is it?

Lin Lulu stood stiffly.

The teacher showed her a chair back, and she really didn't know how to start the conversation.

"It's a habit of mine when I work," Jing Sichen casually offered an explanation. "Without eye contact, you're more likely to ask questions that are difficult to ask."

Lin Lulu: So professional!

She sat down and asked softly, "Teacher, I came here today because I have a difficult problem I'd like to ask you for advice."

Jing Sichen: "You say it."

"It's just..." She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "If something scary happens, how can I overcome my fear and live as if nothing's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Sichen frowned.

She was indeed terrified!

"Don't be afraid," he comforted her. "You must believe that if you can't save yourself, someone will definitely come to save you."

Lin Lulu couldn't help but think of Jing Sichen.

Looking at the tall, imposing chair back, she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Teacher, I have another question. I'm asking it for my friend because she's too shy to come herself, so she asked me to ask it for her."

Jing Sichen: "Okay."

"My friend recently met a man."

The man was handsome, had a good physique, and was rich, but he was much older than her.

Moreover, the man had a childhood sweetheart, and although he explained that they weren't in a romantic relationship, he was indeed very kind to that girl.

Most importantly, I... no, no, my friend doesn't know his name or what he does. Everything about him is a mystery!

But he always appears when I'm helpless and scared, more than once.

But he's a strange person; he gets angry easily and throws tantrums, sometimes disappearing for days at a time.

Just when you think you have a good relationship, he won't let you know anything about himself; just when you think you're just friends, he's incredibly nice to you, and... he even takes advantage of you.

Jing Sichen: You heartless bastard! Do you really think I'm that bad?

"Teacher," Lin Lulu asked innocently, "what do you think this man is thinking?"

"He likes you." Jing Sichen puffed out his chest, his voice deep and mellow, "He likes you very, very much."
