Chapter 90: Teasing Lin Wushuang
Chen Tianlong shook his head and continued to read the book, but after a while, he found that the images of intimate moments between men and women kept floating in his mind, causing a surge of excitement in his heart.
So, he decided to secretly glance at Lin Wushuang and found her looking more and more beautiful.
Especially now, the two of them were sitting side by side. This kind of distance is the most likely to spark fireworks; being near yet far is what truly makes the heart flutter.
Sure enough, just one look from Chen Tianlong, and he couldn’t help but lean closer again.
At that moment, Lin Wushuang suddenly remembered something, and as she turned her head, their mouths were barely a centimeter apart.
In that instant, time seemed to stop.
Feeling Chen Tianlong’s rapid breathing, Lin Wushuang stiffened instantly, forgetting to move away; instead, their eyes were locked on each other, motionless.
Chen Tianlong gulped, seeing Lin Wushuang not moving, thought she permitted him, and prepared to lean further.
"Chen Tianlong, I have a question for you."
Lin Wushuang’s heart was pounding. She had never felt this way before. If anyone dared to come close like this in the past, they would immediately receive a slap.
But just now, not only did she not push him away, she was a bit reluctant to move away.
Ultimately, shyness won over the excitement inside, and she finally came to her senses.
"Ah? Oh... What do you want to ask?" Chen Tianlong saw Lin Wushuang pull back and deliberately changed the subject, realizing there wouldn’t be any follow-up to this incident.
"Did my dad say anything else besides asking you to follow me?" Lin Wushuang had another thing weighing on her mind, which was her childhood engagement.
Although her dad said that family went missing later, disappearing without a trace, it was never confirmed whether they really died, so the marriage arrangement still stands.
Most importantly, before he passed away, her grandfather had instructed never to break the promise unless the other party personally cancels the engagement.
"Seems like not..." Chen Tianlong thought about it, unsure of what Lin Wushuang wanted to know: "Well, there’s one more thing..."
Suddenly, Chen Tianlong’s words took a turn, making Lin Wushuang’s heart skip a beat. She thought he knew too, fearing the worst, but then heard Chen Tianlong calmly say, "Mr. Hu said, your dad wants me to join the Lin Group!"
"..."
Lin Wushuang was speechless for a moment, took a deep breath, and felt relieved.
But when she looked back, she saw Chen Tianlong gazing at her with an odd look.
Lin Wushuang quickly rolled her eyes at him, saying fiercely, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and read the book, otherwise, I won’t let you look at it anymore."
"Haha! So, if I read books, I can see more of you in the future? Alright, it’s pleasantly decided then." Without waiting for Lin Wushuang’s response, Chen Tianlong flipped open the book and continued to take notes.
Watching Chen Tianlong, Lin Wushuang felt a strange sensation and didn’t know whether to feel fortunate or unfortunate about it.
After school, Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang left the library together. Despite Lin Wushuang fearing being seen and misunderstood about her relationship with Chen Tianlong, she ultimately decided to go to the cafeteria with him for a meal.
But as soon as they sat down, they saw two familiar figures walking toward them.
"Whoa, Tianlong, Wushuang, you’ve gotten together so quickly?"
Lu Xiaoyu saw her best friend with Chen Tianlong, with Wu Mengting beside her, so she took the opportunity to tease Chen Tianlong to see how he would respond.
The campus rumor was that Wu Mengting had a thing with Chen Tianlong, apparently sneaking out to date several times, but nobody knew if it was true.
Normally, Chen Tianlong wouldn’t pay much attention to Lu Xiaoyu’s words, but this time he had to, because the one accompanying her was none other than his prospective girlfriend, Wu Mengting.
Chen Tianlong stood up suddenly, then smiled warmly at the approaching Wu Mengting: "Mengting, you’re here, sit right here, I’ll go get you some food."
Saying so, he left swiftly before Lin Wushuang could agree. At this point, he dared not stay any longer; if Wu Mengting got jealous over the young lady’s attention, it could spell trouble.
Sometimes explaining to women is pointless, and it might even make things worse; the only solution is to leave the scene.
Chen Tianlong ordered a few of Lin Wushuang’s favorite dishes and quickly returned to his seat. He thought it would bring peace, yet he didn’t expect Lin Wushuang to suddenly say: "Chen Tianlong, help me get a portion too, I don’t want to go."
Chen Tianlong instantly froze, seeing Wu Mengting frown. He couldn’t decide whether to go or not. After all, Lin Wushuang had just helped him, refusing to get her food seemed unreasonable.
Most importantly, he was her personal doctor, taking care of everything; it was logical to do such small favors.
"Tianlong, get me a portion too, given we’re three girls, and you’re the strong guy, more running around means more perks in the future."
At a critical moment, Lu Xiaoyu, who usually teased Chen Tianlong, finally spoke up, making him quite touched by seeing true colors in a moment of crisis.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong nearly shouted: Xiaoyu, I love you!
"This is... no problem, running more is healthier." Chen Tianlong glanced at Wu Mengting, seeing her expression no longer angry, and prepared to leave.
Actually, Wu Mengting only felt wary of Lin Wushuang since they were both campus beauties and so talented. Recently, she found out the person she liked was the personal doctor of the Lin family’s young lady, making her cautious.
In Wu Mengting’s eyes, it’s okay to protect him, but if you try to steal Chen Tianlong, she’ll be angry!
"No need, I’ll go myself."
Lin Wushuang obviously sensed Wu Mengting’s hostility, but it was out of competitiveness; in fact, Chen Tianlong didn’t even know what dishes she liked, so how could he get her food?
"Wushuang, I’ll go with you." Lu Xiaoyu stood up, and they held hands as they walked away.
After they left, Chen Tianlong sat down with a bitter smile. Wu Mengting pouted but didn’t speak, clearly a bit upset. But this anger wasn’t directed at Chen Tianlong, but at Lin Wushuang for bossing him around; she felt protective.
At this moment, suddenly two unfamiliar girls approached their table. Chen Tianlong was startled, wanting to speak up to stop them but saw them sit down with a bump.
Moreover, the girl nudged a bit closer to him, making Chen Tianlong instinctively glance at her.
Wearing trendy ripped jeans, the upper body was a loose half-transparent off-shoulder T-shirt, with the underwear straps casually revealed, and the inner garment faintly appearing.
Her dyed blonde hair was tied up, with faint eyeshadow over her eyes, giving off a loose, casual look.
But from the side, her fair face and delicate features barely made her look like a beauty. If she smiled instead of sulking like she was cheated out of money, she might look better.
"What are you staring at, haven’t seen a beauty before?" the girl suddenly turned her head and lashed at Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong was caught off guard and felt awkward; he just wanted to take a look at the girl since her appearance was so abrupt, he didn’t react immediately.
Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting beside him furrowed her brow, thinking no other girl could simply scold Chen Tianlong like that without her, the prospective girlfriend’s, consent.
"Hey, classmate, my friend was sitting there just now, she went to get food, so please find another seat," Wu Mengting, being civilized, spoke without being too harsh.
