Chapter 134 Jealousy

Jian Chi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the wound on Ji Huaisi’s left hand with his own eyes.

The long incision almost brushed the Hu Kou*, but luckily it wasn’t deep and didn’t appear to have injured the underlying nerve or tendon. Jian Chi used an alcohol cotton swab to disinfect around the wound, carefully wrapped it with gauze, and tied it with a bow.

* web between thumb and forefinger

“Be careful in the future.” After Jian Chi finished speaking, he realized that Ji Huaisi was not careless, but was distracted by talking to him. Ji Huaisi didn’t seem to notice Jian Chi’s pause, and looked down at the bow on his hand. This simple knot seemed to have some magic power, which attracted Ji Huaisi to slightly hook his lips.

After bandaging the wound, Jian Chi had nothing else to do. The familiar awkwardness came to his mind. He cleaned up the garbage on the table and was about to throw it away and leave when Ji Huaisi said behind him, “Are you going?”

Jian Chi threw away the garbage, “En, I’ll go first.” 

There was a slight movement of getting up from the sofa, and Ji Huaisi’s footsteps got further and further, until the familiar metal crash sounded. When Jian Chi looked back, he saw Ji Huaisi standing in the back of the kitchen, placing the pot on the induction cooker with his uninjured hand.

Jian Chi stopped walking away suddenly.

“Are you going to cook like this?”

“The vegetables are already cut, so I can’t just leave them like this, and I’m a little hungry,” Ji Huaisi said in a normal tone, “I’ll take care not to let the wound touch the water, If you have something to do, go first.”

Jian Chi did decide to leave, but when Ji Huaisi said this, he couldn’t move his footsteps inexplicably. He hesitated for a while and asked, “Are you all right? 

“It’s good.”

The more insipid Ji Huaisi was, the more it meant that something was wrong. Past experience made Jian Chi think wildly in this direction. Ji Huaisi, who never turned around, turned his back to Jian Chi and stirred the vegetable soup in the pot at an even speed, “If Shao Hang knew you were here, he might come to fight with me again.”

This made Jian Chi almost forget that Ji Huaisi made the first punch at the beginning. In fact, he was indeed a little shaken now. Maybe Shao Hang said something serious at that time to anger Ji Huaisi, after all, Shao Hang often did this.

If this was the case, Ji Huaisi cannot be blamed for this incident alone, not to mention that Ji Huaisi’s injury seems to be more serious than that of Shao Hang.

When he was bandaging him just now, Jian Chi never looked at Ji Huaisi’s face, but when he came in, he had already seen the bruises on the corners of Ji Huaisi’s mouth, and there seemed to be a red mark on the cheekbones covered by his hair. Jian Chi just glanced hurriedly, but when he was dressing the wound, he kept thinking about these two injuries, barely able to concentrate.

Shao Hang had now recovered so that no trace of it can be seen. Ji Huaisi still bore obvious marks until now. He didn’t know how serious the situation was of that day. The more Jian Chi thought about it, the more unhappy he felt, and he said, “He won’t, It has nothing to do with Shao Hang.”

With his back toward him, it made it difficult for Jian Chi to confirm whether Ji Huaisi’s stirring arm had stopped, “It’s not what I thought?”

“What?”

“I thought you were with Shao Hang,” Ji Huaisi said, “on his birthday.”

Jian Chi didn’t know if there were any metaphors in this sentence, even if he didn’t see it clearly, Ji Huaisi’s face brought a burst of unspeakable shame, and he had to glance away, staring at a certain floor tile in the kitchen, which vaguely reflected Ji Huaisi’s back.

“I’m not with him.” Jian Chi added, “I’m not ready to be with anyone else.”

He didn’t know why, no matter who it was, everyone seemed to think that he was about to start a new relationship soon. Jian Chi couldn’t understand why they thought this way, obviously he had only been in one relationship from beginning to end, and a normal person’s emotions should require a cooling off period. Jian Chi didn’t plan to start over so soon, and it was before the big exam.

Ji Huaisi put down the spoon, and Jian Chi could finally see his face clearly. He couldn’t tell whether he was asking, or just confirming: “Aren’t you guys together?”

He didn’t know how many times he had to repeat this simple question, but Jian Chi still accompanied Ji Huaisi to confirm again: “No.” 

The firm answer made Ji Huaisi fluctuate for a moment. He wanted to use his left hand to rub between his eyebrows. After a while, he remembered that he had just wrapped it up, so he switched to his right hand. The softened brows and eyes showed a touch of uncompromising fragility against the scars. There was a pout on his lips, and he couldn’t tell whether it was a smile or other helpless emotions.

“I always thought my previous behavior disturbed you.”

It did. But when Ji Huaisi said this sentence first, Jian Chi couldn’t admit it.

“Jian Chi, I’m just afraid that you don’t want to give me another chance and promised to be with someone else. When I saw you and Shao Hang that day, I thought the thing I’ve been worried about had happened, so I couldn’t restrain myself.”

Ji Huaisi walked towards Jian Chi, then a soft voice fell into his ears and dragged Jian Chi’s heart heavily, “I thought you may not want to see me again, so I could only hold back the idea of ​​contacting you. I’m really happy that you took the initiative to send a text message, although there were external forces, I’m still very satisfied.”

Jian Chi kept admonishing himself not to fall into the same passiveness as before by Ji Huaisi’s rhetoric, but the reality was that he really bought it everytime Ji Huaisi did it. When Ji Huaisi looked at him with affectionate eyes and spoke in a sincere tone, Jian Chi stood still and couldn’t move, looking at Ji Huaisi getting closer and closer. Even with scars on his face, he was still handsome.

Ji Huaisi touched Jian Chi’s cheek, inserted his fingers into his hair, and moved as gently as he spoke.

“Don’t be with others, okay?”

He didn’t know if Ji Huaisi’s voice was full of magic, or if Jian Chi couldn’t resist this gentle offensive, and his voice became softer and softer: “I said, let’s not speak about such things again. “

“I understand,” Ji Huaisi bent his back and raised the corner of his lips, “I won’t bother you like before, and in exchange, you can’t hide from me, is that okay?”

It sounded like a good deal. Jian Chi’s thinking speed had slowed down when he looked at Ji Huaisi, and he heard Ji Huaisi speak again: “Wait until the day of graduation, and then you can give me an answer. Don’t worry about external factors. I will solve all these things, when that time comes, just tell me if you are willing or not, okay?”

Ji Huaisi didn’t specify what this “willing” referred to, Jian Chi felt that he should understand, and nodded subconsciously. It was this small action that gave Jian Chi the illusion that he had promised Ji Huaisi an extremely important thing. The smile on Ji Huaisi’s lips flowed into his eyes completely, he kissed Jian Chi’s forehead, and then kissed his lips before Jian Chi could react.

It was so gentle that it didn’t seem forced, and Jian Chi even thought back to when he and Ji Huaisi were together.

In a dazed moment, Jian Chi remembered Ji Huaisi’s injured hand just now, and his pushing away slowed down.

Looking at Ji Huaisi’s very close face, Jian Chi felt that his face, which was a little hot due to lack of oxygen, was even hotter than his wet lips. He wanted to wipe his mouth, but after he did it, he felt that it was like he was trying to hide something. Against Ji Huaisi’s gaze, he left a ‘goodbye’ and hurried away.

What had he done?

Jian Chi didn’t know whether to blame the atmosphere just now or Ji Huaisi being too gentle, or his willpower being too weak.

Fortunately, Ji Huaisi had promised to wait until graduation to deal with the problem between them, that was to say, this situation should not happen again, right?

Probably.

After He Tan was dismissed, the president’s position became vacant. Many people discussed whether to hold another election during the break. Jian Chi thought the same, or promote the vice president and then elect a new vice president.

Normally, one of these two options would be adopted, but Saintston obviously did not take the usual path. When Jian Chi saw Shen Shuting wearing the medal representing the student council president again, his mood was as if he found another drink when he opened a drink, then after exchanging the bottle, the feeling that the drink had expired.

The casual remarks at the beginning turned into reality, and Shen Shuting became the president again.

“You seem very unhappy to see me?”

When Jian Chi was called into the office of the student union, he didn’t know how to answer Shen Shuting’s words, and said against his will: “No, you read it wrong.”

Shen Shuting behind the desk looked better than He Tan in making people feel like they cannot be disobedient, as if he should have been sitting in this position and had been sitting in this position. Jian Chi just couldn’t understand why all the presidents had to be selected from a group with bad brains.

Shen Shuting lightly tapped his index finger on the table, “Come here.”

Jian Chi slowly moved over, but Shen Shuting said, “Come to my side.” 

He pursed his lips and stared at him coldly across the desk, “He Tan told me a lot of things, don’t you want to hear it?”

The hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and Jian Chi had a bad premonition that he didn’t want to know about at all. When he turned to leave, Shen Shuting got up and walked towards him. A second before pressing the door handle, Jian Chi was turned by Shen Shuting and pressed against the wall. His chin was pinched, and Jian Chi was forced to look up at Shen Shuting’s green eyes. His ironic voice pierced the eardrum, mixed with a bit of anger that gritted his teeth.

“You and Shao Hang did it?”
