Chapter 33

17-330 room.

Su Yuan had made a mess of her pork chop rice, eating with the ferocity of a wild boar. She put down her chopsticks, feeling satisfied, and wiped her mouth with a tissue.

Her phone rang again. She glanced at it casually, and it was the same number!

This guy is really persistent! Ignoring him won't work. To avoid any unforeseen events, Su Yuan decided to meet him. She picked up her phone and said to the two roommates, "I'm going out for a bit."

Gao Jun was staring at the computer, nodded without paying much attention.

Ji Ye Hao suddenly remembered the class advisor Tan's instructions to take care of Su Yuan, so he said worriedly, "Call me if anything happens."

"Don't worry, what could happen?"

After about ten minutes, Su Yuan finally slowly made her way to the small playground at the back of the mountain. The back mountain, also known as Jingyu Mountain, is a small hill that existed before the school was built. It is covered with dense vegetation and towering ancient trees. A winding path runs through the mountain, and pavilions are scattered here and there. In spring, the red kapok flowers and pink peonies along the stone steps bloom in competition, creating a beautiful scene.

It was already seven o'clock, and the sky was dark. The streetlights on both sides flickered with weak light, and the moon was veiled, looking graceful.

On the way, Su Yuan was thinking about who had called her to this small playground. She had kept him waiting for so long; he must be angry, right?

This made her a bit annoyed. She felt like she was digging her own grave. Since she had decided to come, she shouldn't have kept him waiting for so long. She hadn't thought it through.

Wait, she had an idea. She immediately limped, hobbling toward the small playground.

As she got closer, she saw a pale figure. He was wearing a white tracksuit, tall and muscular.

A few more steps, and she finally saw his face clearly. Su Yuan's expression changed abruptly, and she immediately turned around and walked back.

The person in the white tracksuit was actually Lin Jun! In the afternoon, Su Yuan had "accidentally" ruined his plans. Would they be able to meet face-to-face calmly?

At this moment, Lin Jun also saw Su Yuan approaching. He thought angrily, "This bitch finally showed up!" But this thought only lasted for two seconds. The next moment, he saw Su Yuan turn and run away as if she had seen a ghost.

The cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground, and he cursed, "Damn!!"

"Su Yuan, stop right there!" He took a few big steps forward and grabbed her arm.

Lin Jun had been trained by his father since childhood and was very strong. Feeling the force of his grip, Su Yuan felt a sharp pain in her arm. She knew she was in trouble and struggled fiercely, but she couldn't break free from Lin Jun's grip. He dragged her toward Jingyu Mountain.

"Lin Jun, let me go!!"

All sorts of bad thoughts flooded her mind. Was he planning to find a secluded place to beat her up? Su Yuan wasn't afraid of fighting, but she never fought without a plan! More importantly, she wasn't the Su Yuan from high school, and she didn't have her trusty brick with her!

Looking at Lin Jun's imposing figure, she estimated he could send her to the hospital for a month.

Lin Jun ignored her, looking like a fierce beast, full of anger.

After dragging her for several dozen meters, they entered the secluded path. This path was usually quiet and hidden, with tall trees blocking the view, forming a special corridor. It was a favorite spot for couples to stroll and flirt. But now, the seclusion only added to the fear.

As they climbed higher, they reached a pavilion. At this moment, Su Yuan seemed to have accepted her fate and stopped shouting and struggling.

Letting go of Su Yuan's hand, Lin Jun was surprised to find that his hand felt a strange warmth and softness.

He composed himself and looked at Su Yuan, who was standing silently with her lips pressed together. He felt a bit amused. Was this guy afraid? Thinking about how he had been stood up for almost an hour, he snorted.

"Su Yuan, you sure have a lot of nerve, making me wait for so long!" he said harshly.

Su Yuan forced a smile, trying to bluff her way through, "Well, I twisted my ankle in the evening..."

"Is that so?" he drawled, "You didn't seem to have any trouble turning and running away when you saw me."

"Uh, I suddenly remembered something important I had to do."

He slapped the stone table in the middle of the pavilion and shouted, "Su Yuan, do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?"

Swallowing hard, Su Yuan was at a loss for words.

"Are you planning to beat me up?" she asked after a while.

"Beat you up? Why would I beat you up!" Lin Jun was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, "Oh right, I really, really want to beat you up!!"

Su Yuan wished she could slap herself. She had dug her own grave! She thought about it and decided she didn't need to be a shield for Xiao Yayan. It was better to tell Lin Jun the truth. She couldn't afford to get hurt, and whether he believed her or not was up to heaven.

"About what happened this afternoon..."

"Yes, I called you here because of what happened this afternoon. Speak! What is your relationship with Yayan?!!" To make himself more intimidating, Lin Jun pulled a vine and slapped it on the stone table, making a loud, crisp sound. If it had hit her, it would have left a mark.

Su Yuan was startled and said bluntly, "I have nothing to do with her!!"

"You have nothing to do with her?"

Lin Jun was taken aback, then became even angrier. "You think I'll believe that? I, Lin Jun, despise cowards like you who do things but don't admit it! Yayan chose you, and you turned out to be a pretty face with no substance!"

Su Yuan had considered all possibilities but never imagined he would react this way. She felt like she was powerless against fate. "Brother, I really have nothing to do with Xiao Yayan..."

Lin Jun wouldn't believe her, thinking she was too weak to admit the truth. He glared at her and raised the vine to strike. Su Yuan stepped back in shock, tripped, and fell backward. Fortunately, she landed on a bench in the pavilion.

"Phew, that was close!" She was drenched in cold sweat.

"..."

Seeing her timid appearance, Lin Jun felt no remorse. A flash of pain crossed his eyes, and his anger grew. The more Su Yuan showed weakness, the angrier he became! How could Yayan, who was blinded by love, choose such a man? How was he better than himself? Why was the winner "him"?

He had to beat "him" up! He had to beat "him" up hard!

Only by beating "him" could he vent his anger!

The vine made a loud slapping sound as it struck the stone table repeatedly, scaring Su Yuan witless.

Seeing Lin Jun getting closer, she quickly thought and stood up, saying, "Lin Jun, wait! I swear I have nothing to do with Xiao Yayan. I'm also a victim in this. She used me as a shield."

The vine hung in the air. Seeing Su Yuan's sincere expression, Lin Jun snorted but asked in surprise, "Is that true?"

"Of course. Think about it, with Xiao Yayan's standards, why would she like me?"

"Why not? Maybe Yayan likes handsome guys like you!" Thinking about his own imposing figure not being favored, Lin Jun was puzzled. Maybe Xiao Yayan just liked handsome men. With her wealthy background, she didn't need a man's protection, so it made sense that she would look for someone who met her aesthetic standards. And this Su Yuan, damn! The more he looked, the more handsome he seemed, too damn charming!

Su Yuan was taken aback but persisted, "But I don't interact with Xiao Yayan much. I've only seen her a few times!"

"Think about it, with my timid nature, even if Xiao Yayan liked me, I wouldn't dare to face your hostility! Love is a mutual thing. How could I influence Xiao Yayan's thoughts?"

Lin Jun thought for a moment, looked suspiciously at the person who spoke with conviction, and confirmed that she wasn't lying. "Even if Yayan used you as a shield, don't you have any feelings for her?"

Su Yuan's reaction surprised him. If he were in her position, he would be happy to be used as a shield by Xiao Yayan. But Su Yuan seemed to be avoiding it, and her reaction didn't seem fake. The problem was, it made him hesitant to believe her easily.

"I do like her." Seeing Lin Jun's expression change, she quickly added, "Everyone appreciates beauty, but you don't need to worry. There's no way anything will happen between us."
