Chapter 13 Are you going to stay here overnight?

Shu Ni now fully understood the meaning of the four words "enemies often meet on a narrow road". She never expected that the bored and trouble-making person who was crazy about love actually had such a prominent and profound background. In fact, the feud with Chen Qingzhi started because of a mixed-race boy. In the final analysis, it's a cliché story of "she likes him, but he doesn't like her but likes another her." Unfortunately, Shu Ni is the extremely innocent "other her". Chen Qingzhi cannot get the love he wants, so all his jealousy and resentment are directed at her. She is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone. If Chen Qingzhi messes with her, she will definitely fight back. One time, Chen Qingzhi really pissed her off, so she asked the boy to go to the library every day and even deliberately sent him selfies of the two of them, which made Chen Qingzhi so angry that he was fuming. The two girls looked at each other with a flash of lightning. Chen Biao noticed that his daughter was acting strange and asked curiously, "Hey, have you two met before?" Chen Qingzhi held onto his father's arm, his eyes still glued to Shu Ni, "We are schoolmates, but she is an honors graduate, so she may not remember a poor student like me." Chen Biao had always wanted to marry his daughter to Yan Junci. After hearing this, he had a hint of meaning, "I told you to study hard but you didn't listen. Good boys don't like poor students." Yan Junci smiled but said nothing. Shu Ni said modestly, "Qing Zhi is also very good, I just have an extra empty reputation." Chen Qingzhi snorted in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. As her knowledge and experience increased, Chen Qingzhi no longer liked the young and energetic type of boys, and instead fell in love with handsome, steady and mature men. After seeing Yan Junci's photo, she immediately decided that this man was her prince charming. When she sat down in the restaurant, she deliberately sat opposite Yan Junci and flirted with him throughout the meal, as if she was determined to compete with Shu Ni. Shu Ni was too lazy to pay attention to her. The Chen family's chef was hired from a domestic star-rated hotel. Every dish suited her taste. As she was enjoying her meal, she suddenly heard Chen Qingzhi ask, "Shu Ni, we just held an alumni gathering last week. Why didn't you attend?" Shu Ni wiped the corner of her mouth elegantly with a napkin and replied , "I'm a little busy and can't spare the time." Chen Qingzhi said maliciously, "Really? I thought you were hiding from someone. After all, John still has feelings for you!" Chen Biao was discussing the progress of the project with Yan Junci. When he heard his daughter's words, he didn't know whether it was a warning or a deliberate attempt to add fuel to the fire. "Qingzhi, don't make trouble. This is someone else's private matter." Chen Qingzhi became even more excited, and turned to Yan Junci and said, "Brother Junci, did Shu Ni tell you about John? They used to be a famous class couple, and they were so affectionate all day long that everyone envied them." At this point, she held up her phone in front of him and said, "Look, aren't they a good match?" Shu Ni glanced over there and saw that it was indeed the photo she sent when she was angry with Chen Qingzhi. She didn't expect that this silly girl still kept it. In Chen Qingzhi's expectant eyes, Yan Junci calmly put down his wine glass, his voice as smooth as the moonlight tonight, "They are quite a match." Instead of the expected angry face, Chen Qingzhi continued to fan the flames, leaning over the table and whispering, "She had more than one boyfriend in school. I don't mean anything else, I just don't want you to be deceived." Yan Junci curled his lips and smiled, his eyes locked on Shu Ni, and responded meaningfully, "Why not just snatch it away?" Chen Biao raised his head and drank the rest of the foreign wine, then said to his daughter, "Have you learned it? If you like it, go grab it, and it's yours." Shu Ni's mind was buzzing. No wonder these two men could become close friends regardless of age difference. It turned out that they both had the bad genes of robbers in their bones. They had a great conversation and were still talking till almost the early morning. Xie Wan was observant and noticed the tiredness between Shu Ni's brows, so she suggested, "Miss Shu, are you tired? Just stay here and rest tonight. You guys continue chatting while I go to arrange a room." Shu Ni wanted to refuse, but the man next to her didn't respond, so she had to agree. She was indeed tired and wanted to take a shower and go to bed, but the hot water ran out halfway through her shower. It was obvious that this was a prank by Chen Qingzhi. If it were normal times, Shu Ni would just grit her teeth and finish washing, but she really didn't dare to do that during her period. In desperation, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and tried to ask the servant for help. There was no light in the room, only a little light seeping in through the half-open floor-to-ceiling window. Shu Ni groped forward based on her memory, and after a few steps, the bedroom door was opened. The visitor was tall and stood at the door, almost blocking out the light in the corridor. He seemed unaware of the situation in the room, and after a two-second pause, he closed the door with his backhand. The sound of the lock being locked was crisp and clear, and seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet space. Shu Ni wanted to cry, because she was cold and afraid. Seeing Yan Junci walking towards her, she ran to the bathroom. But how could she possibly outrun this 1.80-meter-tall man? Yan Junci caught her easily and wanted to tease her, but when he found that she was cold, the corners of his mouth sank quickly, "What's going on?" "There is no hot water..." Without waiting for her to finish, Yan Junci pushed her onto the bed with a dark face. As she screamed, the wet bath towel was torn off. Before Shu Ni had time to struggle, Yan Junci had already lifted the quilt and wrapped her tightly in a swift movement. Thinking of her own situation, Shu Ni blushed and said, "It will stain the sheets." "Shut up." Yan Junci interrupted her with anger, then stormed out of the bedroom. Two minutes later, the bedroom door opened again. He walked to the bathroom, made sure there was hot water, and then said to her, "Come here." Shu Ni grabbed the quilt and stammered, "Can you... go out first?" Yan Junci didn't respond, but finally went out as he was told. After washing under the hot water for a long time, Shu Ni gradually recovered. Perhaps Yan Junci had instructed her to do so, because when she came out of the bathroom, the bed had been replaced with a new set of bedding. The steam made her face red. As soon as Shu Ni sat down to apply lotion, Yan Junci's poker face appeared in the mirror. She was startled and turned around to confirm his presence, almost knocking over the dressing table. Yan Junci was used to her ghostly look. He walked over and spoke slowly, "What did you do to make Chen Qingzhi treat you like this?" Shu Ni didn't know where to start. There was no emotion in his tone, "Are you really trying to steal her man?" How could the little quarrels they had during school continue to this day? She knew clearly that Chen Qingzhi was playing a prank on her because of Yan Junci. "That's right." Shu Ni said unhappily, "She thought I was going to snatch you from her." Yan Junci supported himself on the edge of the dressing table with both hands, leaned over to trap her in front of him, and asked sincerely, "Have you figured out how to rob her?" The hot breath touched her ears. Shu Ni leaned back, trying to reduce the impact of this man. "I'm not worthy." She spoke seriously, but Yan Junci somehow heard a hint of resentment in her words. He didn't respond, but rubbed her head and slowly loosened his tie. Seeing him undressing, Shu Ni was dumbfounded. "You, what are you taking off?" He casually responded, "Take a shower." She jumped up from her chair in surprise when she got the answer. "You're going to stay here overnight?" Yan Junci stopped moving and looked at her with a lazy but uninhibited look, "If I don't spend the night with you, how can I prove the relationship between us?"
