My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Ning Yueyao thought of the woman who kicked open the door of the teaching office to support Lin Jiu.

The reason Lin Jiu has changed so much is probably because of her.

So beautiful, so elegant, so big... Ning Yueyao compared herself to them and felt hopeless.

"Yaoyao, you look really sad, what's wrong?" Huang Minmin leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Did Lin Jiu bully you? I'll beat him up for you!"

"No, really no, he protected me... Class is starting, you should go listen to the lesson. I'm not feeling well, I need to take sick leave and go home to rest." Ning Yueyao quickly pushed her friend back when she heard the class bell ring.

"I understand... I'll take notes in class, and you can copy them later." Huang Minmin was quite loyal. She usually didn't take notes at all, and would review at tutoring classes after school. After all, the tutoring classes had humorous and interesting teachers, and they were also handsome. It proved that good looks could improve students' academic performance.

After saying goodbye to her teacher, Ning Yueyao slung her backpack over her shoulder and left with her leave slip.

When she arrived at the school gate, she found her father chatting with Lin Jiu.

Wang Yuting... is here too!

Ning Yueyao instinctively hid.

She didn't know why she was hiding.

"Lin, thank you for taking care of my daughter." Ning Yuan smiled gently. "If you have the chance, I would like to invite you to our home for a meal."

"Thank you."

Lin Jiu nodded. He wasn't very good at handling this kind of situation, but the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions. He could only nod and say, "We'll talk about it next time, next time for sure! We're like brothers, how could I possibly stand you up?"

"that……"

Ning Yuan's tone suddenly turned somber. He beckoned to Lin Jiu and whispered, "Remember to protect yourself and the people around you. If you encounter anything suspicious, don't hesitate, call the police immediately! I'm not trying to scare you or exaggerate. I believe you understand what I mean."

Upon hearing this, a news article came to Lin Jiu's mind.

News about anti-drug police.

All the anti-drug police officers whose names and appearances can be publicly disclosed are heroes who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty and fought to the very end.

On the front lines of the fight against darkness, what they paid and sacrificed was far heavier than imagined.

To prevent their family members from being targeted by bad people, they had no choice but to sever ties and stop seeing each other.

Lin Jiu clenched his hands and nodded heavily.

"Thank you, Uncle Ning."

"You must come to my house as a guest if you have the chance, and I will brew you the best tea."

"must."

After Lin Jiu and Wang Yuting left, Ning Yueyao came up.

"Dad, what were you talking about just now?"

"It's nothing, just a bit sentimental... You have a wonderful classmate, you can bring her over to visit sometime. Your mom will definitely like such a lovely girl when she meets her."

"Good dad."

Ning Yueyao nodded, then suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Little girl?

Chapter 51 Wang Yuting's Great Victory!

Let's take a taxi.

It's somewhat unbelievable.

Lin Jiu suggested to Wang Yuting that they take a taxi home.

Yes, you heard right, the person shouting to take a taxi home wasn't Wang Yuting, but Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu, who wished she could break a pancake in half and save one half for tomorrow.

Lin Jiu was very observant. When he noticed that Wang Yuting's walking posture was a bit awkward, his gaze naturally followed her elegant suit and he noticed that her ankles were a little red and swollen.

Wang Yuting looked really pretty when she kicked open the door to the disciplinary office, but now she looks really pathetic walking with a limp.

"Don't worry, I'll just get some medicated oil and apply it when I get home, it's nothing serious."

"No, let's take a taxi back. Safety first."

"Taking a taxi back from here would be a long detour, and it's only a ten-minute walk to our neighborhood, so it's not worth it."

Wang Yuting was more familiar with the area around her apartment building than Lin Jiu, and knew which route would be faster. Besides, she actually had her own agenda: since she was walking unsteadily, asking to hold hands and walk home shouldn't be too much to ask, right?

When they were shopping at the supermarket together before, Wang Yuting tried to hold his hand, but Lin Jiu kept both hands on the shopping basket, giving her no chance. However, this wasn't Lin Jiu's fault; after all, he was completely naked at the time, and he wouldn't dare walk without something to cover himself.

"I understand."

Lin Jiu extended her hand to Wang Yuting and said earnestly, "It wouldn't be good if you fell, so please give me your hand."

Wang Yuting blinked, not understanding Lin Jiu's meaning at first, and it took her a beat to realize it.

Did I speak my true feelings?!

"What's the truth?"

"No, it's nothing!"

Wang Yuting thought she had accidentally revealed her bad intentions, so she quickly brushed it off. She didn't expect Lin Jiu to be so cooperative, so she quickly reached out her hand and looked at Lin Jiu expectantly.

Lin Jiu took Wang Yuting's hand in his. Her fingers were quite long and slender, and felt cool and refreshing to the touch. It would be wonderful to hold her hand all the time in the summer, wouldn't it?

Lin Jiu looked up at Wang Yuting, his face slightly flushed, and silently suppressed his wicked thoughts. He gently exhaled and solemnly placed Wang Yuting's hand on his head.

"Eh?"

Wang Yuting touched Lin Jiu's head, her mind a little dazed. This wasn't what they had agreed on!

"Let's go!"

A resolute expression appeared on Lin Jiu's face.

At this moment, he was as brave as a guide dog, not the wildcat he used to be.

Because Wang Yuting was wearing high heels, her originally lazy, homebody image instantly transformed into that of a powerful and commanding woman. The height difference between the two also widened further. If they wanted to hold hands normally, Wang Yuting would have to tilt her head slightly, and her walking style would be rather odd, which might even worsen her ankle sprain.

This was the best solution in Lin Jiu's opinion; he couldn't think of any other way.

If the journey wasn't too far, Lin Jiu could have Wang Yuting take off her shoes and then carry her back on his back.

Wang Yuting patted Lin Jiu's head. She had initially felt a little regretful that they hadn't been able to hold hands and go home together. But now she thought it was quite nice; she rarely had the chance to caress Lin Jiu's head so freely.

"oh oh……"

Wang Yuting was somewhat moved.

How can this child's hair be so smooth?

He clearly didn't seem to have done any hair treatment, and even the shampoo was just... I know! It's my family's shampoo! Yay! Wang Yuting's emotions gradually rose, and she happily observed Lin Jiu from her boyfriend's perspective.

Because Wang Yuting was wearing high heels, she could now clearly see Lin Jiu's snow-white nape.

When Wang Yuting used to read comics, she would always frown whenever she saw a scene where the female protagonist would lift her ponytail to reveal her neck and attract the male lead's attention. How could such a trivial thing possibly make someone's heart flutter? Don't be ridiculous! I tie my hair in front of the mirror every day, and I don't see any increase in my attractiveness.

Now Wang Yuting really wants to apologize to those comic book teachers; I was wrong.

Fragrant.

Really fragrant.

"Hey hey hey..."

Wang Yuting stroked Lin Jiu's head, making a sound that could attract the attention of the police.

Lin Jiu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Wang Yuting. His cheeks were slightly flushed, and his eyes held a hint of reproach. He whispered, "Don't do this kind of thing in public."

"Is it enough to just go home?"

Wang Yuting responded reflexively.

It's just a habit, purely a habit. Wang Yuting unconsciously developed this habit while resolving customer complaints and discussing promotions with merchant managers. Simply put, it's about finding ways to gain an advantage in conversations. Even the most difficult customers will slip up sometimes, and even the most meticulous people will have moments of oversight. These are the moments to seize the opportunity and take control of the situation.

Lin Jiu didn't answer Wang Yuting. He turned his face away again. Just as Wang Yuting was feeling a little regretful... her hand on Lin Jiu's head moved slightly downwards, and then was pushed up again.

"oh oh……"

Wang Yuting resisted the urge to rush forward and hug Lin Jiu.

This child is just too adorable!

the most important is……

This child is only this adorable in front of me!

Wang Yuting wins big!

After arriving at Mingyuexuan residential area, the number of passersby noticeably increased, and they all cast strange glances at the two. Wang Yuting wanted to tell Lin Jiu that she was fine and could stand steadily, but Lin Jiu firmly insisted that it wouldn't do. What if she fell? Even the smallest probability, even the slightest possibility, was unacceptable.

When Lin Jiu first met Wang Yuting, he was in terrible physical condition and injured. Due to exhaustion, Lin Jiu's brain was in a self-protective state, and he tended to think in extreme directions, like a cold robot. Now he is different; he no longer focuses on numbers, but on feelings.

I don't want you to get hurt.

This is Lin Jiu's simple thought right now.

Even if Wang Yuting hadn't come to him today, he could still handle this.

Lin Jiu had never considered the possibility that Wang Yuting would come to the school to find him. From his perspective, he would rather Wang Yuting stay home, order takeout, and go to work, without having to know about such troublesome things.

Lin Jiu had long been used to bearing everything alone. No matter what it was, he had always taken it all on his own over the years.

but……

This feeling of having someone to rely on.

very nice.

Lin Jiu recalled the feelings that welled up in his heart the moment Wang Yuting appeared.

If I had to describe it in two words, it would be...

"Tiga!!"

It felt like all the light in the world was appearing in front of me.

Lin Jiu laughed; he was amused by his own thoughts.
