Rong Si looked at her, his mind filled with the words Professor Zhong had just said, girlfriend.

Right now, I do look like I’m here to meet my girlfriend. This thought suddenly made Rong Si happy.

“I’ll go back when you return home.”

Su Jiu deliberately added, “Are you going to stay here even if I don’t go back for half a month?”

“Sure.”

“Sure, my ass! You’re not doing your job, okay?” Su Jiu said confidently. Her eyes were round like a kitten’s. In Rong Si’s eyes, she looked ridiculously cute.

Rong Si disagreed with her. “Isn’t the most important thing is to stay with you and keep you safe?”

Hearing him say that, Su Jiu felt a hint of sweetness in her heart, but she did not show it. “I told you. I’m not a child anymore. I can take care of myself!”

“Then who was on the verge of tears from the pain last night?”

Recalling the embarrassing incident last night when her period came, Su Jiu could not say anything. She wished he could find a hole to hide in.

She couldn’t argue with him on that matter, so she had to change the subject. Glancing out the window, she saw that it was still raining. With her lips pursed, she said, “It’s still raining. There’s no way out. I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

Rong Si took a book out of his backpack and walked toward her. Su Jiu glanced at it casually. It was an economics book that Rong Si had picked up in university. As expected of the little villain. It was one thing for him to come looking for her, but he even had a textbook with him!

Rong Si pulled up a chair and sat down beside her bed. He glanced sideways at her. “So if I’m reading, am I doing my job?”

Su Jiu seriously nodded. “That’s a good boy. Don’t let your professor down!”

Rong Si seemed to smile. “What about you?”

“Me? Of course, I have to use such a rainy day to sleep in,” Su Jiu said lazily. She pulled the blanket over her and was about to lie down as if she really planned to sleep.

Rong Si listened to the patter of the rain outside the window. He watched Little Jiu fall asleep in front of him and closed his eyes. His heart was suddenly as calm as it had ever been. It was like the surface of a sea. All the swirls of rapids had disappeared, leaving only the gentle ripples of a breeze.

Such ease was something he rarely experienced.

That’s life, isn’t it?

As long as she was there, his heart would always be calm.

Su Jiu did not sleep for long before hunger woke her up. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she saw that the clock on the wall was pointing to one-thirty in the afternoon. She realized that she had slept for more than an hour.

Perhaps it was because she had slept late last night…

She sat up in bed and looked around. The little villain was gone again. And there was a strawberry cake on the coffee table beside her, a variety of snacks, and a bottle of milk that had obviously been specially prepared for her.

Su Jiu picked up the strawberry cake and milk to fill her hungry stomach. Then, she opened the door and walked out. Now that the rain had stopped, she wanted to call Song Xinyan to accompany her, and she wanted to find the little villain.

He couldn’t have gone far. Even if he had, he would have told her.

Su Jiu did not expect it, but she found Rong Si easily.

He was at the safe exit at the end of the corridor, standing face to face with a young man. The atmosphere between the two young men was strange, and Su Jiu could feel the tension between them from afar.

That young man…

Su Jiu took a closer look and did not expect it to be… Han Siye!

Why – why – why is he here?

Su Jiu was so shocked that she was afraid they would notice her. She quickly hid in the corner of the corridor and poked half her head out to listen.

At this moment, Han Siye was furious. He had spent a lot of effort finding out Su Jiu’s schedule and the hotel she was staying in. He came to look for her excitedly. But when he arrived at her room and was about to knock on the door, the person who opened the door was actually this guy in front of him!

Rong Si was the man he hated the most.

Without him, Little Jiu might have been with him. But Han Siye didn’t have the heart to think about that now. His mind was filled with reasons this boy was in Little Jiu’s room and what he had done to her!

Just thinking about it made his heart burn with anger.

The two equally tall youths confronted each other. Han Siye had one hand in his pocket as he looked at Rong Si, arrogantly and coldly. “Tell me: why did you come out of Little Jiu’s room?”

As far as he was concerned, Rong Si was not a good man. He must have played some despicable trick to trick Little Jiu into letting him into her room.

How could a well-behaved girl like Little Jiu, usually under her father’s strict supervision, let a boy into her room so easily? So he must have been the one to trick her.

Despicable!

Han Siye already hated Rong Si, and now this guy was even more of a thorn in his side. He wanted to pull the thorn out. His eyes were red with anger, and his hands were clenched into fists at his sides, ready to swing at Rong Si’s face at any moment.

Rong Si took his anger in stride. “I’m staying with her.”

What?! 

Does he mean that he’s sharing a room with Little Jiu?

Han Siye was enraged. He suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the collar of Rong Si’s shirt. Glaring at him, he said, “Bastard! What did you do to Little Jiu?”

Rong Si remained calm in the face of his threatening aura. He even looked at him mockingly. “What do you think?”

“What do you mean, ‘what do you think’?”

Han Siye got even more furious. “You beast! Is Little Jiu someone you can lie to and bully? How dare you attack her? Do you want to die?”

He was aggressive, but Rong Si had no intention of showing weakness or even explaining.

He really was just staying with Little Jiu. How far Han Siye’s imagination stretched was beyond his control. Even if Rong Si explained, the boy in front of him might not believe it.

Enraged by Rong Si’s calm appearance, Han Siye punched him in the face. Rong Si’s eyes turned cold as he quickly grabbed his fist and pushed his hand aside.

Han Siye was indignant and raised his fist to punch him again. At this moment, a slender figure rushed over, to them accompanied by a voice that Han Siye was extremely familiar with. “Stop!”

It was so sudden that Han Siye’s fist almost hit her face. He quickly pulled back, but the back of his hand still brushed past her face, leaving a red mark. Han Siye instinctively looked at the newcomer.

It was indeed Su Jiu.

When Han Siye saw her rush over and open her arms to block Rong Si, his eyes suddenly dimmed like extinguished candlelight.

Su Jiu had not expected Han Siye to suddenly attack and had rushed over without thinking.

She didn’t care about her face at all. Instead, she was glad the punch hadn’t landed on the little villain’s face.
