The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 750: Who is that man?

“Ouyang Jing, you didn’t even get the point!”

“What point?”

Xiaoting shook her head at Ouyang Jing’s slow reaction and turned to Jian Dan, “Jian, come clean!”

“Come clean about what?”

“Of course, about the mysterious man who suddenly appeared last night to play the hero! Who is he? How long have you known each other, and what’s your relationship?”

“Xiaoting, I had no idea you were such a gossip!”

“I’ve always been a gossip; you just never noticed!”

“Looks like I need to get to know you better in the future!”

“Jian, don’t change the subject. Confess and it’ll go easy for you, resist and it’ll be tough!”

“He’s my family!”

“Family?”

“Yeah! Kind of the closest person to me!” She was not lying, her uncle really was the closest person to her.

“Sigh, turns out he’s family. I thought there would be some earth-shattering gossip!”

“Sorry to disappoint, but nope!”

“May I sit here?”

Seeing Chu Liyuan approaching with his tray, Jian Dan’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

“Sure, sure, Teacher, please sit!” Xiaoting spoke up, seeing Jian Dan looking infatuated.

Chu Liyuan sat next to Jian Dan, “Jian Dan, you have an injury on your arm; you shouldn’t eat such spicy food!”

“Yeah! Jian, I’m sorry, I forgot about your injured hand,” Xiaoting chimed in.

“It’s okay, I just won’t eat this dish.”

“Have an egg instead!” Chu Liyuan put a peeled egg onto Jian Dan’s plate.

“Thankyou, Teacher!”

It felt really good to see her uncle here!

She picked up the egg that her uncle had peeled for her and took a bite. It was just an ordinary boiled egg, but why did it taste so delicious?

At that moment, Zhang Yang arrived at the dining hall and saw Zhu Rimen sitting next to Jian Dan, his brow furrowed involuntarily.

It was his first day, and they were already close enough to eat together?

Especially when he saw him put the peeled egg in Jian Dan’s plate, something stirred in Zhang Yang’s chest.

What Zhang Yang found most unacceptable was that Jian Dan ate the egg without any qualms…

In Zhang Yang’s view, this had already gone beyond a teacher-student relationship and seemed a bit too intimate.

Zhang Yang approached, “Ouyang Jing, how are you feeling? Everything okay?” Under the pretense of caring for Ouyang Jing, he wanted to get a closer look at Jian Dan.

Ouyang Jing looked at Zhang Yang, somewhat puzzled.

“What are you spacing out for? You were drunk yesterday, and Teacher Zhang brought you home. You should hurry up and thank Teacher Zhang!” Jian Dan kicked Ouyang Jing lightly.

“Teacher Zhang took me back to the dorm yesterday! I’m so thankful, Teacher Zhang; I was blackout drunk, thank you!”

“It’s alright, as long as you’re okay,” he said to Ouyang Jing, but his eyes kept darting towards Jian Dan.

Others might not have noticed, but Chu Liyuan’s keen eyes did not miss it.

When it came to male animals that appeared around his Jian Jian, especially those with intentions towards her, Chu Liyuan was always able to detect them acutely.

How dare he harbor inappropriate thoughts about his woman?

That was unforgivable…

“Teacher Zhang, did you just come to eat as well? Sit down and join us!” Ouyang Jing invited warmly.

What a fortunate thing it would be to sit and dine with Jian Dan!

Zhang Yang had fantasized about this scene countless times.

And today, it was finally going to become a reality…

He didn’t decline and sat down next to Ouyang Jing, glancing at Jian Dan’s plate, “Jian Dan, you’ve hurt your arm; you shouldn’t eat such spicy things; it’ll irritate the wound!”

“I got Jian Dan’s food; I forgot about her arm injury,” Xiaoting admitted.

“I’ve said it’s fine! Don’t be upset!

I didn’t eat that dish—thanks for the reminder, Teacher Zhang!”

“Oh! That’s good then!”

At that moment, Chu Liyuan picked up a piece of spicy tofu with his chopsticks from Jian Dan’s plate and ate it, “Hmm, it tastes quite good!”

“Big- Teacher, if you like it, you can have it all!” She almost let something slip.

“Alright!” He said, picking up another piece.

Xiaoting watched, somewhat unable to comprehend…

This meal seemed calm, yet tumultuous currents flowed beneath….
