Ye Chen’s hands under the table unconsciously clenched, but his face looked calm: “Mmm?”
“Are you okay, am I being too direct and upsetting you?” Ji Mingxia asked with worry. “Don’t worry, I haven’t talked to Yu Ning yet so he doesn’t know about this.”
The more he talked, the more Ye Chen’s heart felt like it was being squeezed.
Especially when Ji Mingxia mentioned Yu Ning, his eyes went bright, causing Ye Chen to feel so jealous.
The emotions that had been restrained with difficulty surged up to his heart again and almost overwhelmed his sanity.
“So he doesn’t know yet?” Ye Chen pulled out a fake smile and asked slowly.
Ji Mingxia didn’t tell Yu Ning that Ye Chen “liked” him, so correspondingly, Ye Chen would also not tell Yu Ning that Ji Mingxia also liked him.
Ye Chen looked at the four gifts on the table and said, “Mingxia, you guessed right, there is indeed a different gift among the four. I specially prepared it for the person I like.”
Ji Mingxia finally heard Ye Chen admit it and was vaguely a little lost but quickly recovered.
However, these micro-expressions fell into Ye Chen’s eyes, making him even more sore.
Although he now knew that Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning liked each other, he didn’t want to be their matchmaker and facilitate their feelings.
If it was another person that was both good and excellent, Ye Chen may have tried to suppress the jealousy and blesis them.
But not Yu Ning.
Ye Chen could not forget that day in Ye Tian’s dormitory, he saw that Yu Ning’s eyes had turned gray.
Such a person that was neither human nor ghost would be a time bomb beside Mingxia.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately said, “Can you help give this to Yu Ning?”
“What’s inside this?” Ji Mingxia asked.
Ye Chen took a look at the gift and said woodenly, “A diamond ring.”
Ji Mingxia’s eyes widened: “Diamond ring?”
Ye Chen pulled the corner of his mouth: “I want to express my feelings through it, nothing else. Of course, if he is willing to accept me, I will buy a better one.”
Ji Mingxia was shocked by Ye Chen’s grand courtship.
‘You have not yet confessed but as soon as it comes up, you buy a diamond ring ah?’
Sure enough, he is the golden supporting lead, his feelings for Yu Ning are so strong.
On seeing Ji Mingxia’s shocked expression, Ye Chen said solemnly, “Mingxia, are you willing to help me pursue Yu Ning?”
“Me? I …… I don’t want to meddle in your things … at most, I can help pass on a message or something, I can’t do anything else.” Ji Mingxia stammered through his words.
He liked Yu Ning, and Ye Chen also liked Yu Ning.
Previously, he didn’t say anything because of what Ye Chen had recently been through. He thought he’d be relieved when Ye Chen admitted it, but unexpectedly, the other party actually wanted him to help pursue Yu Ning!
If it was Pei Yuan who put forward this request, Ji Mingxia would have reluctantly agreed even if his heart was dripping blood.
Fortunately, Ye Chen was not Pei Yuan and Ji Mingxia politely refused.
Ye Chen looked at Ji Mingxia’s flustered appearance, and felt even bitter. “You understand my intention, so I’m already satisfied that you are willing to help me pass on the message.”
Ye Chen only felt sour and bitter in his heart after saying that.
It so happened that the wine and food were served at this time and Ye Chen immediately invited Ji Mingxia to start eating.
Violin music slowly played, and the warm candlelight was accompanied by delicate flowers, but the people at both ends of the table were lost in their thoughts. Each had their own worries and the delicious wine and food tasted like wax in their mouths.
The meal was finished just like that and because they drank wine, Ye Chen contacted his assistant to send Ji Mingxia back.
Ji Mingxia said goodbye to Ye Chen in a daze and took the car back to school.
Ji Mingxia ate and drank absent-mindedly so he didn’t feel anything. It was only after sitting in the shaking car that he remembered that he drank red wine tonight, and the aftertaste was quite strong.
The off-campus car could not enter the school, so Ji Mingxia got off and walked to the boys’ dormitory. His first step was steady, but the more he walked, the more he felt like his head was heavy. Each step was like stepping on cotton, and he could fly at any time.
If it was in the past, Ji Mingxia would have slowly walked back, but now he didn’t dare.
Perhaps it was his illusion, but ever since he came out of Ye Tian’s dormitory that night, his five senses had become extraordinarily sharp.
This was obviously not a good thing, because he seemed to have developed Ye Tian’s symptoms, he always felt as if someone was standing in the dark and secretly spying on him.
This feeling was usually absent but it would get acute at certain moments, but when he looked around, he wouldn’t find any trace of it.
He just thought he was paranoid, so he didn’t tell Yu Ning.
He and Yu Ning were inseparable, and with Yu Ning by his side, Ji Mingxia didn’t care too much even if he occasionally noticed that something was wrong.
But now, he was the only one walking on the road and he didn’t dare to be careless.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia immediately raised his vigilance and quickly walked towards the dormitory. Unfortunately, the body of a drunk person is not under the control of his mind. The more Ji Mingxia wanted to hurry back, the more chaotic his steps became.
Just when he was ready to find a stone pier to sit down and sober up, a pair of hands embraced him.
It was an early winter night, and this person came with a cool air. The other party seemed to realize that his body temperature was too low, so he quickly moved away and held Ji Mingxia’s wrist instead.
Ji Mingxia was suddenly embraced by someone and was initially surprised, but when he noticed the other person’s thoughtful little gesture, he immediately relaxed.
He didn’t even look back and directly leaned over. It was only after he was next to Yu Ning that Ji Mingxia raised his head and lazily smiled at him, “Yu Ning, what are you doing here?”
Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia with a sullen face.
Contrary to Yu Ning’s body temperature, Ji Mingxia’s body was warm, like a small sun.
Ji Mingxia is not much of a drinker, a few sips of red wine and he was immediately drunk.
The rouge-like blush on both cheeks, and the pink on his white skin made his eyes look more moist, like a rose blooming in the wine, even the dew on the petals were crystal clear.
Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia’s face, which was more beautiful than usual, and his expression changed. He looked angry, but also restrained.
He held Ji Mingxia, and his fingers unconsciously tightened as he whispered, “You’ve been drinking.”
Ye Chen is such a shit stirrer and I can respect that ngl 😔
It’s time for ye chen step back from the couple for good. And I love it when both mingxia and yu ning reeking vinegar 😂
Thank you for the chapter!
