Chapter 309 - 309 Jealousy

309 Jealousy

The next morning, Jing Yan dropped them off at campus before driving back to work.

Xu Meng did not sleep well last night. She was more particular about her bed, and she could not sleep well when the environment suddenly changed. She sat in the classroom in a stupor the whole morning.

He Miao’s heart ached for her, so she bought her lunch and ate it with her in the classroom. “I’ll go visit Xia Yan tonight. You should rest well at home. You look quite listless. Don’t tire yourself out.”

“I’m fine,” she said. Xu Meng had taken a light nap while He Miao went to buy food. She felt much better now. “I’ll go with you tonight. I’ll leave after I’ve seen her. Now that she’s lost her memory, I’m quite worried about her.”

He Miao laughed as she ladled her a bowl of hot soup. “Sure, then you should eat more. I saw Professor Xu glaring at you several times in class just now. Don’t forget to explain to him later, in case he scolds you again.”

“Alright,” she said. Xu Meng recalled her uncle shooting daggers at her with his eyes, and she still felt a lingering fear. If she did not explain it clearly this time, he would force her to do homework on the weekend!

After class, Jing Yan drove to the campus gate and waited as usual. He did not sleep well last night, but he was still happy to be able to stay by He Miao’s side the whole night.

Jing Yan was still in a good mood when he saw Xu Meng. He teased her with a smile, “You still dare to go today? Who was the one who slept in the hospital last night and was so scared that she even wanted Miaomiao to accompany her when she went to the bathroom?”

Xu Meng glared at him, then curled up behind He Miao and complained, “Take care of your Jing Yan. He’s bullying me here!”

He Miao glanced at him from the corner of her eyes in amusement, then pretended to be angry and said, “You’re not allowed to bully Mengmeng. I’m the one accompanying Mengmeng here!”

Xu Meng suddenly felt that not only was her self-esteem not comforted, but it was also stabbed by her again. With a sad face, she put on a look of beating her chest and stomping her feet, and said in pain, “Alright, Miaomiao, you’ve become bad! You’re bullying me with your Jing Yan!”

“Alright, alright.” He Miao patted her head helplessly. “Mengmeng, you’re already very brave. I didn’t think of this last night and caused you to sleep with me in the hospital the entire night.”

“What are you saying? I’m willing!” Xu Meng frowned and pointed at Jing Yan, who was watching the show with a smile. “I’m the same as him. We’re both willing to stay with you. How can I be at ease and let you worry in the hospital alone?”

“Yes, yes. Our Mengmeng is the best.” He Miao happily took out a lollipop from her pocket and put it in her hand. “I bought it this afternoon. It’s your favorite.”

“Where’s mine?” Jing Yan sat on the other side, looking at the lollipop in Xu Meng’s hand.

Xu Meng delightedly unwrapped the wrapper and stuffed the candy into her mouth in front of him. “It’s so sweet. The candy Miaomiao bought is the sweetest!”

“Where’s mine?” This time, Jing Yan looked at He Miao, feeling wronged. He had also accompanied her the entire night, so why did she not give him any reward?

No matter what, she should at least kiss and hug him!

Seeing the smugness in Xu Meng’s eyes, Jing Yan’s face grew gloomier. He was so jealous that his heart was about to explode.

Of course, He Miao did not forget about him. She took out another piece of candy from her pocket like she was performing a magic trick. She unwrapped the wrapper and was about to stuff it into her mouth when she was grabbed by the wrist, turned around, and the candy was put into his mouth.

“This is for you…”

Before He Miao could finish her sentence, Jing Yan swallowed the whole thing. With outsiders around, he could only have a taste of the candy, but he still bit on it smugly and looked at Xu Meng provocatively. “It’s from Miaomiao. It’s really sweet.”

Xu Meng’s face turned green with anger. This man actually dared to be jealous of her so blatantly. He was pampered by Miaomiao!

He Miao’s face and ears were red, and she had no time to care about the two people’s tit-for-tat. She lowered her head and wished she could stuff it under the car seat. Her heart was beating so fast that it was about to fly out of her chest.

Jing Yan found her look so cute, so he pulled her into his arms and patted her head to comfort her. “We’re all family, why are you so shy?”

“Jing Yan!” He Miao suddenly raised her eyes and glared at him in embarrassment, her face burning hot.

Jing Yan lowered his head and admitted his mistake without a second thought. I’m sorry. I won’t do it again, okay?”

He Miao snorted coldly and turned to ignore him. She did not look at him again until they reached the ward.

She was not really angry with him. She just felt that it was too embarrassing to act like that in front of her friends, and she did not know how to face Xu Meng.

The subtle atmosphere between the three of them continued until they saw the smile on Xia Yan’s face.

He Miao smiled as she walked to the bedside. She took out the fruits she had prepared in advance and placed them on the bedside table. “How are you feeling today?”

Xia Yan did not say a word and instead looked at the nurses quietly, signaling for them to leave first.

After they left, she furrowed her brows and asked in confusion, “Miaomiao, you are my best friend. Can you tell me what happened between me and Chen Zhen?”
