Chapter 39.1: Blushing
Shi Hai was bewildered.
It wasn’t that the slap on his face hurt that much, but rather that Jian Sichun’s sudden action to support Zhu Lingjie left him unable to comprehend.
Was she really determined to set him up with a girlfriend?
Jian Sichun angrily exclaimed, “You just wait and see!”
It didn’t sound like a confession at all; instead, it felt more like a declaration of war.
Moreover, it wasn’t Jian Sichun who confessed.
Her acting as if she was declaring a romantic war was truly bizarre.
After wiping away her tears with her sleeve, Jian Sichun grabbed Zhu Lingjie’s hand and led her off the rooftop.
Zhu Lingjie was also stunned.
Clearly, she was the one who confessed, but in the end, it was Jian Sichun who cried?
And she even slapped Shi Hai, forcibly interrupting his rejection…
Was she doing all this just to help her?
How could she be so kind—!?
Watching the two girls walk away confidently, Shi Hai felt less like the one being confessed to and more like the one being rejected.
He touched his face.
The pain had already faded, but the emotional impact was far greater than the physical pain.
This was also the first time he had been slapped; even his mother had never hit him.
After seriously reflecting on the situation, he still couldn’t see where he had gone wrong.
But Jian Sichun’s reaction suggested that perhaps he had indeed done something wrong.
“Don’t jump to conclusions too quickly…”
A reincarnated person knows far more than what he can deduce from the current information.
However, Jian Sichun didn’t know Zhu Lingjie before…
What kind of thoughts or realizations led her to take such a perplexing action?
Shi Hai initially thought she was just a straightforward and simple girl, but now, he felt he couldn’t understand Jian Sichun at all.
She was like an enigma.
“Let the bullets fly for a while…”
Thinking of this famous saying, Shi Hai walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down.
Jian Sichun and Zhu Lingjie had already left the old dormitory building, with Zhu Lingjie seemingly smiling bitterly as she comforted Jian Sichun.
Then, Jian Sichun raised Zhu Lingjie’s hand high and shouted loudly, “Let’s go back and hold a strategy meeting!”
It seemed she had already perked up.
Shi Hai was most concerned about Jian Sichun’s purpose for doing this.
She had said that finding Shi Hai a girlfriend was her wish, out of concern for her good friend.
But now, it seemed that it wasn’t just “concern for a friend”; there was a compelling reason for her actions.
This was the most crucial clue, which could fully unravel the mystery that was Jian Sichun.
“Guess who~”
A pair of hands covered Shi Hai’s eyes from behind, the soft touch making him pause his thoughts.
The fragrance coming from behind had a unique freshness with a hint of sweetness.
The cheerful tone conveyed the playful mindset of the person.
“Senior, do you know your voice is quite distinctive?”
“Oh? How so?”
“It’s just distinctive.”
It sounded like a somewhat NSFW ASMR voice, whispered close to his ear, making his heart itch.
“So, did it make your heart race?”
“Almost gave me a heart attack.”
“Junior, you’re quite honest. But… if you don’t completely call out my name, I won’t let go.”
“Please let go, Senior Tian Shui.”
“Okay~~”
After Tian Shui let go, Shi Hai turned around.
