Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Leave

Under the night sky, Assistant Lin nervously drove the car, his hands slightly tightened on the steering wheel. The scene just now was thrilling!

He parked the car by the roadside as usual, and Mr. Bao in the back seat remained silent, his cold eyes fixed on the school gate.

Assistant Lin was already used to Mr. Bao’s state and sat there idly, killing time. He was only waiting for the person in the back seat to give the command and say "go," then his day’s task would be complete.

Feeling bored, he glanced outside through the car’s rear-view mirror, his face full of astonishment and disbelief. "Mr. Bao, Miss Shen is walking toward us."

Bao Shaojin had been staring at the figure by the school gate, her petite body wrapped in a long down jacket, looking slightly bulky as she walked.

Many students were returning to school at this time, and when he noticed the girl’s figure, she was already standing among the crowd.

Assistant Lin’s voice, with a hint of panic, interrupted his thoughts.

Bao Shaojin turned his head, his sharp gaze fixed on the person getting closer, the depths of his eyes growing deeper, and finally, he spoke, "Go..."

Shen Jingrou’s hand was just about to knock on the car window when Assistant Lin started the car, driving away as if fleeing.

Not until Shen Jingrou became smaller and smaller in the rear-view mirror, until she was no longer visible, did Assistant Lin let out a sigh of relief.

Later, when Shen Jingrou called, Bao Shaojin glanced at it, and upon answering, directly blocked Shen Jingrou’s next words with "You got it wrong."

Not wanting any complications, Bao Shaojin hung up the phone mercilessly.

His hidden affection for An Yin was something that couldn’t be exposed, not suitable for public knowledge!

Sometimes he was puzzled, he and An Yin didn’t have much interaction, so why was he so concerned about her? Was it because of her occasional silliness? Or her stunning face? Or...

Bao Shaojin pondered, he was not a superficial person, and the world was not short of beauties. All along, he had never had a covetous heart for others, so why was it particularly Bao Cheng’s girlfriend?

A trace of somber air appeared on his resolute face.

His character and upbringing since childhood prevented him from crossing the line on this matter, even though the wild thoughts in his heart grew crazier.

With the New Year’s Eve party approaching, An Yin’s class had chosen a dance, and Jiang Keke was among them. After school, she would stay to practice dance with classmates, while An Yin would occasionally stay to accompany her, but mostly headed straight back to the dormitory.

That day after class, An Yin braved the cold wind on the path and finally returned to the dormitory.

Thinking of taking a hot bath first and then getting into bed.

Prompted by her thoughts, she found a set of cotton pajamas and, before entering the bathroom, took off the jade from her neck and habitually placed it on the desk.

If she wore it to shower, the red string would be wet and uncomfortable on her body.

Shortly after she entered the bathroom, Jiang Keke came in. Looking at the closed bathroom door, she shouted toward it, "Yinyin, are you inside?"

Sound of water splashing came from the bathroom.

"I’m here. Weren’t you practicing dance? Why did you come over?"

"Don’t mention it, Xuanxuan sprained her foot, so the class leader suggested we don’t practice today." Her original chair was dusty, so Jiang Keke sat down at An Yin’s desk.

"Oh." An Yin replied softly, "I’ll take a bath first, we can talk later."

"Okay." Jiang Keke answered, her gaze drawn to the jewelry on the desk.

Jiang Keke didn’t understand jade, she just thought it was quite beautiful. She picked it up and put it around her neck, curious how she looked wearing it. Remembering there was a mirror in her desk drawer, she stood up, took it out, and looked at herself in the mirror, with the emerald jade closely against her neck.

She always thought wearing jade at a young age seemed a bit old-fashioned, yet now as she wore it, it felt fresh, with a unique kind of beauty.

An Yin came out of the bathroom, wearing only a set of pajamas. She was about to get into bed when she passed by her desk and saw her friend looking at herself in the mirror with her jade. An Yin paused slightly.

"Looks good, doesn’t it?" An Yin didn’t think much of it. Previously, Shi Qing and Sister Jingrou had praised the jade, presumably Jiang Keke felt the same.

Startled by An Yin’s sudden voice, Jiang Keke stood up and walked up to An Yin. "It’s alright. What do you think, do I look pretty wearing it?"

An Yin had never seriously looked at the piece of jade until she saw it on someone’s neck. She leaned in, noticing the various hues that emerged with different angles, making this piece of jade particularly special. Even from afar, it emitted a dazzling glow, capturing her attention for a moment.

Seeing her friend seemingly lost in space, Jiang Keke waved her hand in front of An Yin’s face. "What, you don’t recognize your own jade, looking so entranced."

An Yin gave a shy smile, "It looks quite nice on you."

"Can I borrow it for a few days?" Jiang Keke asked with wide eyes, looking at her, her face brimming with joy, as if certain An Yin would lend it to her.

Living in the same dormitory, lending things was a common occurrence.

Seeing her friend’s expectant look, An Yin couldn’t bear to refuse and nodded, "Alright."

"Hehe, Yinyin, you’re the best." Jiang Keke joyfully bounced around, curiously saying, "One day, I’ll have Bao Cheng buy me a real jade to wear."

Jiang Keke confidently presumed it to be fake jade. To her, An Yin’s family was ordinary, often thrift, unlikely to afford such expensive jewelry.

An Yin heard Jiang Keke’s words, a trace of disappointment crossing her brow. She didn’t want her friend to rely too much on Bao Cheng. In An Yin’s eyes, Bao Cheng was a complete scoundrel, but she dared not tell Jiang Keke the truth.

Feeling depressed, An Yin changed the topic, "How are you and Bao Cheng lately?"

"Pretty good." Mentioning Bao Cheng, Jiang Keke’s eyes sparkled, her smile growing wider. "He’s been socializing less, and whenever he has time, he accompanies me, always caring and considerate, Yinyin, it feels like we’re back to when we first started dating."

"Is he really that good?" An Yin mumbled absent-mindedly.

"Of course." Jiang Keke looked resolutely at An Yin, the sincerity in her words unmistakable. "I know people in their circle are quite promiscuous, even changing girlfriends is commonplace. Bao Cheng has been honest about his past with me. Initially, I felt uncomfortable, but seeing his dedication, always prioritizing me and willing to spend money on me, how could I not be moved?"
