Chapter 60: Why Are You With Jiaojiao?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After Quan Jue walked out of the infirmary, he called Chi Mingwei.
“Quan Jue?” After the call was picked up, Chi Mingwei’s confused voice was heard from the receiver. He seemed very surprised at Quan Jue’s call.
“Chi Jiao isn’t feeling well. She has acute gastroenteritis and is currently in the school’s infirmary.” After saying this, Quan Jue hung up the phone without waiting for Chi Mingwei’s reaction.
With his phone in his hand, Quan Jue’s mind was filled with images of Chi Jiao’s pale and fragile face.
He didn’t know what was wrong with him.
He knew that he couldn’t get close to her. If he wasn’t careful, he would be consigned to eternal damnation.
However, he still couldn’t control himself.
When he met Chi Jiao, his self-discipline seemed to have seen a ghost.
After calming down outside for a while, Quan Jue returned to the sickbay.
Chi Jiao was already asleep on the bed.
She wasn’t covered with a blanket. Therefore, her body was curled up into a ball. Her sleeping face looked even more obedient than usual.
Quan Jue pulled the blanket over her and gently covered her body with it, before reducing the speed of the drip.
Then, he sat back down and closed his eyes.
After Chi Mingwei received Quan Jue’s call, he was worried and rushed to school.
Stepping into the small ward, Chi Mingwei saw Chi Jiao sleeping on the bed. Quan Jue was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed. He actually felt a little good witnessing such a scene.
When Quan Jue heard some movement, he opened his eyes. He stood up the moment he saw Chi Mingwei.
“Come out with me,” Chi Mingwei said to him in a low voice with a gloomy face. Then, he turned around and walked out of the small ward.
Quan Jue pursed his thin lips. He glanced at Chi Jiao, who was still sleeping, and then followed suit.
Not far behind the infirmary was the artificial lake. There was a small forest between the infirmary and the artificial lake.
When Chi Mingwei reached the grove, he stopped. Quan Jue ceased his footsteps as well.
“Why are you with Jiaojiao?” Chi Mingwei turned around and asked him coldly.
“This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you.” Quan Jue’s attitude was equally cold.
“It has nothing to do with me? Is this the attitude you should have towards your elders?” Chi Mingwei was close to exploding in anger as the veins on his forehead twitched.
If it weren’t for his good upbringing holding him back, he would have slapped Quan Jue already.
“Don’t always use your status as an elder to put me down.” Quan Jue sneered, his words causing Chi Mingwei’s anger to explode.
Taking a deep breath, Chi Mingwei told himself not to be angry with this little cub. He had always been like this, like a wolf that couldn’t be tamed.
“There’s one thing I hope you remember clearly. Quan Jue, Jiaojiao has an innocent personality. Stay away from her and don’t hurt her,” Chi Mingwei said, enunciating every word as he stared straight at Quan Jue.
Quan Jue’s fingers twitched as he reevaluated Chi Mingwei.
Ever since that woman died and he was brought home by Chi Mingwei, he had never seen Chi Mingwei so nervous.
He looked as if his most precious possession was being spied on.
This expression was really interesting.
“It looks like Chi Jiao is very important to you.” Quan Jue’s pitch-black eyes flashed with a dark and malicious glint as he stared fixedly at Chi Mingwei. “If she’s destroyed, will you go crazy?”
When Chi Mingwei saw that sinister and sick smile on Quan Jue’s face again, a chill ran down his spine, causing all the hair on his body to stand on end.
He had always thought that Quan Jue was a lunatic, just like his mentally ill mother.
That was why he didn’t want Jiaojiao to have too much interaction with him.
