“Now that you mention it, she does seem familiar.”
“Wait, isn’t she Bai Mengze, the champion of the First High School beauty pageant???”
“Now that you say it, it really is her!”
“What do you mean ‘like’? It is her! Why is she so close with that male student? Oh my god, are they secretly dating?!”
“Come on, they’re high school students. Is that still considered ‘secret dating’???”
Just as Ji Wenyan was lost in Bai Mengze’s beauty, the voices around him snapped him back to reality.
He turned his head and saw the onlookers craning their necks. Ji Wenyan quickly raised his hand to wrap the headscarf back over Bai Mengze’s face, then stood up swiftly, pulled her close, and walked towards his family’s car.
Once the car door was shut, it cut off the prying eyes. Both Ji Wenyan and Bai Mengze let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, some peace and quiet!
“Young master, what just happened? If I hadn’t heard someone say the telephone pole at the school gate had fallen, I wouldn’t have rushed over… If something happened to you, how could I explain it to your father? From now on, I’ll come pick you up right at the school gate. I can’t park nearby anymore.”
“Uncle Li, don’t worry. It’s nothing serious! But we can’t leave yet.”
“???”
Hearing Uncle Li’s words, Ji Wenyan quickly said there was no need.
His family’s car was too flashy. When Ji Wenyan first transferred, he had Uncle Li park right at the school gate. Afterwards, he had Uncle Li park nearby and waited for him to walk over himself.
Apart from not wanting to stand out, he also couldn’t reveal that Bai Mengze was living at his house. Otherwise, people would definitely talk about her.
Although Ji Wenyan was only helping Bai Mengze out of her predicament, just looking at the fake news about his parents, he knew how terrible the media was. They would do anything for attention and clicks, even abandoning basic professional ethics.
“There’s a bunch of thugs lying over there. They were trying to… wait, let’s call an ambulance first! I’ll go to the hospital with them. Bai Mengze, you…”
“I’m coming with you!”
He had originally wanted to tell the driver to call the police, but after some thought, Ji Wenyan didn’t say it. He still had things to ask; he’d let these thugs go to the hospital first.
Then, when Ji Wenyan wanted Bai Mengze to go home first, she grabbed his sleeve tightly, unwilling to leave. Ji Wenyan had to swallow his unfinished words. He couldn’t force her if she didn’t want to leave.
But with someone to help, maybe things would be easier.
Ji Wenyan planned to go to the hospital not because he was worried about the thugs’ safety, but because he wanted to find out who hired them before the police arrived. Someone wanted to hire killers, and the target was him. They must be tired of living!
“Young master, wait, I’ll call right now!”
Uncle Li didn’t hesitate when he heard Ji Wenyan’s words. He directly pulled out his phone and dialed the local emergency number. Although he didn’t know what his young master wanted to do, making the call was the right thing now.
“Ji Wenyan, are you okay? If you hadn’t kept my head down just now, I would have fought them!”
“You’re a girl, don’t always be so impulsive! Good thing I held you back. Look at them lying on the ground—it’s awful to see… If I hadn’t stopped you, we might have ended up like that too.”
While the driver was on the phone, Ji Wenyan and Bai Mengze spoke quietly.
When talking about the encounter with the thugs, Bai Mengze clenched her fists, looking like she wanted to go out and kick them again. Ji Wenyan quickly checked that the car doors were locked, then relaxed. That fiery temper of Bai Mengze’s—if she became a star, she’d probably be just like his mother.
He remembered that when his mother was young, a director harassed her, and she splashed water all over his face. When the director angrily prepared to make Gong Yingying pay, the next day the investors pulled out, and the Film Bureau suddenly deemed the film unqualified, banning it from TV and websites. In a very short time, Gong Yingying was fine, but the director paid a heavy price.
Because of this incident, people in the industry treated Gong Yingying with respect; no one was foolish enough to try to offend her. At that time, Gong Yingying hadn’t met Ji Wenlin yet, but her family background was already significant. Otherwise, it was hard to stay clean in the treacherous entertainment industry.
“I was anxious, afraid they would hurt you.”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine!”
“How can you be fine? They really wanted to kill you! If I hadn’t pulled you, your head would have been hit hard! Worse, you could have died!”
Seeing Bai Mengze’s face turn pale as she recalled what happened, Ji Wenyan quickly reached out to pat her head, trying to calm her down. Now, everything was solved. Thinking about it would only make her feel worse.
Even Ji Wenyan was full of questions about this incident. Who hired these thugs? Could it be the same person who caused the car accident last time? But if so, this method was too crude. Following these thugs could lead straight to the culprit… but he had a feeling the perpetrator was someone else.
“I have immortal help, so I won’t die so easily.”
“Nonsense!”
After Ji Wenyan’s comforting pat, Bai Mengze’s mood improved. But she then realized how intimate their posture was, and blushed, dodging his hand. She had been so focused on fear that she hadn’t noticed him patting her head.
When Ji Wenyan saw that she didn’t believe him, he smiled helplessly. He did have a powerful backer—not an immortal, but the system. Ever since he got the system, despite the shadow of death hanging over him, he felt his life had changed a lot! Meeting Bai Mengze, getting various skills—it all made him feel great! And he was immortal. He didn’t need to fear these thugs at all. If they could kill him, they could try!
“Young master, the ambulance will be here soon!”
Just as Ji Wenyan was feeling smug, Uncle Li’s voice sounded. Ji Wenyan nodded. He was really curious—who exactly had hired these thugs?!
