Chapter 300 - He Jian Was Scared

He Jian really didn't have anything to say as he looked at Fang Zhihan's smile.

It was strange… at least for him.

Somewhere he knew that Fang Zhihan was right. If he was not right even a bit percent then he would have actually never felt bothered with what he said and then avoid Mo Roulan.

As he saw Cheng Yang hugging Mo Roulan, he could feel the anger bubbling inside his chest. He whispered something in Mo Roulan's ear and the most outrageous thing for He Jian happened the next moment.

Mo Roulan, too, raised her arms to hug the boy back.

He could feel the urge to separate both of them and then smash Cheng Yang face so hard that he would never dare to look at his Lanlan that way again.

His Lanlan…   

He couldn't bear anyone looking at her in that way.

"You should be used to of this sight now."

He heard Fang Zhihan and moved his eyes to glare at his annoying friend.

Fang Zhihan raised his hands in surrender as he continued

"What? …Don't give me that look. Mo Roulan is beautiful and a very sensible girl. I am sure that she would have a line of boys wanting to date her in the college…especially when she is so intelligent. Cheng Yang is just an example."

He Jian inhaled sharply and breathed deeply to calm down his anger while Fang Zhihhan continued.

"You will see more Cheng Yang in the future. She will date someone, she will marry someone and then have chi…"

"Zhihan…"

He Jian's voice was a little sharper than before this time.

"Don't complete your words."

"Because you can't hear them. Tsk…when did you become like this, Jian? The Jian I know never runs away from anything and faces them. Now when it is the turn of your emotions when you need to face something so important you are pretending to close your eyes."

"Don't do that to yourself."

Fang Zhihan whispered the last sentence quite softly. The next moment, however, his face hardened and he said

"If you still say that you don't feel anything for Mo Roulan then you better stay true to your words forever. Because then I would be happy that a strong girl like Mo Roulan is not going to end up with a coward like you…even though you are my best friend."

After finishing these words, Fang Zhihan left from there leaving He Jian standing there outside the room as he stared at Mo Roulan comforting Cheng Yang.

Fang Zhihan said the truth.

He was a coward indeed. He knew that there was something for that girl inside his heart but…he was too scared to accept it.

He was scared that he would lose whatever little he has now with her because of these messed-up feelings.

Feelings …he could control them right?

However, he won't be able to live if he lost Mo Roulan.

--------

"I was so scared. I thought that something happened to you."

Mo Roulan frowned but she continued to pat Cheng Yang's back lightly as she heard him whispering the words that he had been whispering for the last three minutes now perhaps.   

She had been shocked when she had just lied down on the bed to rest after He Jian had left, however, someone opened the door suddenly.

She had thought it was He Jian however she was even more surprised when she had seen that it was Cheng Yang.

"Cheng Yang…"

Mo Roulan had just called out him by his name when she found herself engulfed in a tight hug the next moment.

"Roulan…"

Mo Roulan hummed lightly.

"You are alright?"

Just at this moment, she heard a sound and saw He Jian standing at the door of the room. Mo Roulan stiffened for a moment…especially when she saw He Jian's blue eyes staring at her.

There was something about then she couldn't recognize. Those eyes…when they stared at her she could feel her heart beating too fast.

Mo Roulan looked away from He Jian instantly as her mind began to wander in the direction where it shouldn't.

She sighed and this time she tried to push Cheng Yang away.

When she looked at his face, she felt a little funny as she tried to remember the expressionless face of Cheng Yang from her first meeting with him.

When had she thought that the boy would come to care about her so much!

He looked completely out of his wits and terribly scared.

"I am fine."

"Then, what is that?"

She saw Cheng Yang looking towards her leg. 

"That's a small wound."

"It doesn't look small to me."

Cheng Yang said quite strictly making Mo Roulan look at him in surprise. He suddenly seemed to have changed a lot since their last meeting or was it just her illusion?

Mo Roulan was about to say something when He Jian spoke up

"What is Young Master Chen doing here?"

Cheng Yang's eyes went indifferent on hearing the cold and indifferent voice something that didn't go unnoticed from Mo Roulan's eyes.

She frowned. She could understand that He Jian was this cold and indifferent to everyone but Cheng Yang …why was he so indifferent to He Jian? 

"Mr. He"

Cheng Yang nodded quite politely despite how indifferent his eyes were.

His fists were however clenched tightly.

He knew very well that it was He Jian last time who made Mo Roulan leave the Cheng Mansion and hence he could not confess his feelings.

Not only that, today he was here, and from what it seemed like he was here since long ago.

Why?

Cheng Yang wondered why a man like He Jian was so close to Mo Roulan. Last time, it was because he had saved her from that prison matter.

However, at that time he didn't wonder why He Jian saved Mo Roulan in the first place.

How did they even know each other?

According to what he knew, He Jian was a very cold and indifferent man. Till today, he had never cared for anyone even if it was business matters.

He couldn't help but wonder what kind of intentions did this man have towards Mo Roulan.
