Rumor has it that the young master has a hidden illness

puff-

puff-

Time stood still at that moment.

Lin Lulu was so panicked that she could only hear her own heart pounding like a drum.

Was she hallucinating?

still is……

Am I dreaming?

The older man actually said he liked her?

For a long, long time, she just remained in that ostrich-like posture, looking at him, unable to relate to the words he had said.

Jing Sichen, the dignified young master of the capital, was met with such a cold reception on his first attempt to confess his feelings to a girl. He was extremely frustrated and angry.

Shouldn't she give him some feedback on being confessed to?

What is this?

She only gave him an awkward yet polite look.

"I protect you because I like you; I want to take advantage of you because I like you; I love to tease and bully you because I like you; I get angry and throw tantrums when I see you with other men because I like you; I feel sad and disappointed when you say it has nothing to do with me because I like you; Lin Lulu, are you really oblivious or are you just pretending? I've made my feelings for you so obvious, don't you know?"

He became more and more aggrieved as he spoke.

I used to think that dating would be easy, so why is it so difficult?

Other people's love stories are all sweet; a simple "I like you" or a kiss is enough to make their sweetheart obedient.

But this girl in front of me, who seems soft and cute and easy to bully, is actually extremely hateful!

Despite his innocent and childlike face, all he does is bully others!

"You..." She uttered a single word, then paused for a long time before continuing, "Didn't you like Jing Rou? You liar!"

"Everything Jingrou told you was a lie," he said softly. "If she really had all my affection, she wouldn't be so fearless. Why would she constantly try to get my attention? She's the sister I owe, nothing more."

"But you clearly are today..."

"This is the last time." His gaze instantly became incredibly calm. "From today onwards, between you and her, I will always choose you first."

Lin Lulu was completely stunned. Looking at Jing Sichen, she felt as if she had heard his words clearly, but she was becoming more and more confused.

"If you can't figure it out, take your time." He had complete control over her thoughts. "No rush, I can wait."

Eh?

He helped her to her feet, wiping away the tears that remained on her face. One of her hands loosely clenched into a fist, and then it was firmly enveloped in his large palm.

"Come for a walk with me," he said casually. "Just a stroll."

This was the first time in his life he had been able to walk freely on the street like this.

Normally, I have too many things to consider.

Now, he has learned a lesson from Yan Moshen.

Some people and some things are meant to be seized upon in the present moment.

If you're too late, you'll miss out.

Lin Lulu followed beside Jing Sichen. Whenever she fell a little behind, he would deliberately slow down and wait for her to catch up before walking at the same pace as her.

Her accommodating and thoughtful demeanor was particularly alluring in the night.

The journey was simple, but the way they traveled was incredibly stylish.

His good looks stood out in the crowd, and many people took out their phones to take pictures of him. Some even wanted to get closer to take a closer look.

But his gaze remained fixed on Lu and her without any sidestepping, and he kept holding her hand.

Whenever someone tries to take a picture of him, bodyguards will step forward to stop them.

The road was quickly blocked.

The screams from the crowd were no less than if they had seen a superstar.

The gazes falling on Lin Lulu were filled with envy, jealousy, and anger, making her feel very embarrassed.

She tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly.

He glanced sideways and lazily raised his voice: "What?"

"I... let's go back!" She looked around. "I think it's a bit... bad for the city's appearance."

Jing Sichen's face turned slightly pale.

Is she sure she's affecting the city's appearance?

"They'll disperse soon." He couldn't be bothered to question her kindergarten-level phrasing. "Turns out, taking a walk on the street isn't so difficult after all."

She didn't understand what he meant, but she saw a barely concealed loneliness in his eyes.

She got it!

Is it because he's afraid of this scenario that he's never taken a walk on the street?

Suddenly I felt so sorry for him.

This simple thing was a luxury for him for the first time.

Although she was only nineteen years old, she was the pillar of her family, and her maternal love was always overflowing; she couldn't bear to see anyone pitiful.

A desire to protect him welled up within me.

Taking a deep breath, he said again, "Let's go! Who cares about traffic jams or shop closures? We haven't done anything illegal! I'll go with you, you can go as long as you want!"

He gave a lazy smile, which caused another round of screams.

This scene was even more spectacular than the annual fireworks display.

The two strolled hand in hand on the sidewalk, creating a beautiful scene.

No one urged them on, no one even scolded them; they were all so engrossed in the scene that they forgot what they were doing.

In an instant, the streets were deserted as everyone flocked to see this legendary, heaven-defying beauty, which also boosted the GDP of all the surrounding snack shops.

Even after they drove away, everyone was still thinking about it and asking each other who this person was.

Ironically, although many people clearly saw him, not a single one took a picture.

Some people took the money but didn't take any photos.

Someone wanted to sell the photos for money, but the photos on their phone disappeared for no apparent reason.

Such a sensational event only generated trending topics with text; not a single picture could be found. It was truly fortunate for those who were there, while those who didn't witness it were driven crazy.

The one who was most frustrated was Jingrou.

"Grandpa! Please help me!" Jingrou pleaded, crying. "I can't just watch that woman take my brother away!"

"Ah Chen is getting more and more outrageous!" Jing Youxiong roared. "You just wait! Within 24 hours, I will make them break up!"

villa.

Because it was late, Lin Ao'ao and Jing Liang were both asleep.

"Go to sleep first." Jing Sichen raised his hand and smoothed the hair on Lin Lulu's forehead. "I still have some things to take care of."

Lin Lulu responded.

Actually, I have many more questions I want to ask, but since he's busy, I'll ask them at a more appropriate time.

Jing Sichen went to the study, before he could close the door completely.

"puff--"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, clutched his chest, and the waves of pain made his face turn pale instantly.

The phone rang at that moment; it was Kyō Yu-xiong calling.

"Ah Chen, why don't you listen to me?" Jing Youxiong demanded fiercely. "You can't be so heartless! Rou Rou's parents died saving you, and this is how you treat her? You think you can safely get through three years with Yan Moshen's antidote? It's useless! If you don't get the real antidote, then when the three years are up, it will be your death day!"

"It is precisely because I want to repay this kindness that I know what I should do to be good to Rou Rou," Jing Sichen said, emphasizing each word.

"What if I told you that if you didn't marry Rou Rou, you'd lose your life?" Jing Youxiong asked. "You'd give up your life for Lin Lulu?"
