Chapter 1172: Are You Borrowing This Book?
Hearing Ye Linlang’s words, Jiang Qiran immediately let go of Ye Siyao.
Ye Siyao rubbed her wrist in pain. Her face was covered in tears, and she didn’t accept Ye Linlang’s love at all. Instead, she glared at Ye Linlang.
“Who asked you to pretend to be a good person here? Are you happy to see me in pain?!”
Ye Linlang glanced at Ye Siyao as if she was a lunatic. Her gaze was cold, and her voice unconsciously became as indifferent as Jiang Qiran’s.
“Why do you want to force your own thoughts onto others?”
Ye Linlang didn’t mean to save Ye Siyao out of kindness, nor did she pretend in order to gain fame. For her, Ye Siyao’s punishment today was enough. If she continued to cause trouble, it wouldn’t be good for anyone.
Moreover, Ye Linlang actually had some misgivings about Jiang Qiran’s reputation.
From the looks of those classmates, from today onwards, Jiang Qiran would probably be a “merciless” person.
Jiang Qiran definitely wouldn’t mind, but Ye Linlang still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about how he had to bear such a name for her sake.
…
Without waiting for Ye Siyao to respond, Ye Linlang followed Jiang Qiran back to their seats.
Ye Siyao was left standing in the same spot, feeling wronged.
Her face was covered in tears, and her red eyes were filled with hostility. No one dared to get close to her.
“Have you seen enough? Get lost!”
Initially, there were a few boys who thought that Jiang Qiran was going too far by bullying a girl. However, thinking about how Ye Siyao was the one who made the first move, and how she still looked like this now, those people quickly lost the mood.
…
Ye Linlang sat back in her seat and began to take out the test paper that her teacher had given her today. Just as she was about to write her name, she suddenly thought of something.
She tilted her head and saw Jiang Qiran’s extremely beautiful facial features. He was so handsome that he was out of this world.
“Thank you very much… for today.”
As Ye Linlang spoke, her nose suddenly felt a little sore. She didn’t dare to look up at Jiang Qiran’s eyes, afraid that he would see through her weakness.
“No need.”
Jiang Qiran lightly shook his head.
Suddenly, he took out a piece of paper and quickly wrote a line of words on it.
—Isn’t it natural for a boy to protect his girlfriend?
He even felt that he wasn’t doing a good enough job.
He had never been in a relationship before, and he didn’t understand how other boys would treat his girlfriend. However, not letting his girl be bullied and not letting her be sad should be a basic obligation, right?
No matter what others did, Jiang Qiran believed that he would do his best to protect Ye Linlang.
After all, from today onwards, they were officially in a relationship.
…
When Ye Linlang saw the graceful handwriting on the paper, she felt a sudden sweetness in her heart.
So he had already recognized her as his girlfriend, and then he had placed her in the area that he should protect?
Ye Linlang didn’t know why, but the corners of her lips curved.
She thought for a moment and immediately added a few more words on it.
—Then dear boyfriend, I’m going to go to the school library to borrow a few relevant learning materials later. Can you help me pick one out?
It was probably the title “Dear boyfriend” that pleased Jiang Qiran. The corners of his lips curved up, and he immediately wrote on it.
—Okay.
Ye Linlang’s heart was instantly filled with joy, and she couldn’t help but hum a tune.
It was the familiar wedding song “I Am Gonna Marry You Tomorrow.” Although she wasn’t going to marry Jiang Qiran, now, Ye Linlang seemed to really experience the bashful feeling of a newlywed.
…
In the last self-study class, there was no one to control her. It was the first time Ye Linlang felt that she could have such a happy self-study class.
She could not help but took out a newly bought bamboo-patterned bookmark and write this sentence on it one stroke at a time.
“The moon upon the water is the moon in the sky, the one in front of me is the one I love.”
Then, Ye Linlang put the bookmark into her Chinese textbook. She could read it from time to time in the future. She could also remember such a sweet mood at any time.
…
After school, Ye Linlang went to the library with Jiang Qiran.
It had to be said that Jiang Qiran’s face was too iconic. Even though they were out of the first years area, many senior students were staring at Jiang Qiran.
Was Ye Linlang’s current sense of crisis and distress because Jiang Qiran was too good-looking?
“It’s all because of you. Why are you so good-looking?”
“Now, this devastatingly good-looking person is your boyfriend. Shouldn’t you be proud?”
Jiang Qiran’s deep and narrow eyes focused on Ye Linlang. His expression was solemn, but the content he said almost made Ye Linlang fall to the ground!
Heavens!
Why was there such a shameless boy in this world?
And he was so openly narcissistic!
Most importantly, she actually had no strength to refute! She was even secretly delighted!
That was because what Jiang Qiran said was really right!
Ye Linlang later thought that she might really have been tricked by Jiang Qiran.
It was the first time she liked someone, but she met a thousand-year-old fox like Jiang Qiran. How could she possibly defeat him?!
…
After arriving at the library, Jiang Qiran followed Ye Linlang’s request and her own standard of study, and picked a few basic topics.
Then, Jiang Qiran went to the English section to find a few books in pure foreign language to read.
He stretched out his hand, and his porcelain-white fingertip brushed past the most famous Freudian work.
“The Interpretation of Dreams.”
To Jiang Qiran’s surprise, Ye Linlang suddenly came over. She stretched out her hand to touch the same book, and their fingertips unconsciously touched each other.
At that moment, it was as if they were electrocuted.
“Are you borrowing this book?”
Jiang Qiran turned his head and asked Ye Linlang softly.
Ye Linlang felt a little guilty under Jiang Qiran’s gaze. In fact, she was just curious about what Jiang Qiran usually read!
But if she said no now, wouldn’t it be a little embarrassing?
Ye Linlang’s brain was heated up, and she blurted out without thinking.
“Yes.”
This girl…
Jiang Qiran looked at Ye Linlang with amusement, and the faint smile on his lips suddenly became deeper.
“There’s only one book left, so you can have it.”
“Ah — Oh oh, okay!”
Ye Linlang’s jet-black eyes rolled for a moment, and only then did she realize what nonsense she had said. However, it was too late to change her words now, so Ye Linlang could only bitterly hold the book in her arms.
“Go ahead and read at the table in front first. I’ll find a few relevant learning materials for you.”
Ye Linlang nodded in confusion. Then, she held the thick book, “The Interpretation of Dreams,” and walked towards the round table.
When she sat down on the table, Jiang Qiran’s figure was already hidden behind the dense bookshelves and could no longer be seen.
Ye Linlang looked around and finally opened Freud’s masterpiece.
She was really shocked when she opened it!
Heavens, it was all in English. With her English level, she couldn’t understand a word!
