Chapter 191: Chapter 190: Do You Like Me? (2 more)

Jin Yu’s behavior was really too obvious, after all, he used to always look at her with a cold and stern gaze.

Since when did his attitude begin to change?

Xu Niannian carefully thought back.

She had always disliked Jin Yu before, but her view of him slowly improved after he saved her.

When Jin Yu had first rescued her, it seemed his attitude hadn’t been that good either.

Xu Niannian always felt like she was missing something, some things were clearly in her memory, but she couldn’t pin them down at the moment, she pondered for a long time without figuring out why Jin Yu’s attitude towards her had begun to change.

Injured ... hospital ...

Xu Niannian pursed her lips, right, the hospital!

Her eyes suddenly brightened, the answer was about to burst from her memory when her body was suddenly shaken by someone.

Jin Yu grabbed her arm and pulled her back, Xu Niannian turned and bumped into him.

"Do you want to jump into the river?" Jin Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

Xu Niannian was startled, Eh? Jump into the river? When had she wanted to jump into the river?

Jin Yu pressed his lips together and gestured for her to look behind.

There was a small river behind her, and she would have fallen in if she had taken two more steps back.

It was Jin Yu who had pulled her to this safe distance.

So, while she was lost in thought just now, had she unconsciously walked over there?

Lucky to have avoided danger, Xu Niannian patted her chest, "Thank you."

Elder Jin "hmmed" in response, "Be more careful in the future."

Distracted by Jin Yu’s interruption, Xu Niannian forgot what she had just thought of.

Turning her head to look at Jin Yu, Xu Niannian puffed up her face, "You haven’t answered me yet? Liu Wendong and I are just classmates, is it strange to catch up? Why do I feel you care so much?"

Xu Niannian was almost ready to point at her nose and ask him, "Have you fallen for me instead?"

After all, she still had some pride, and couldn’t bring herself to directly say something so self-loving.

Jin Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at her, she glared at him with puffed cheeks, her bright eyes sparkling with a lively and innocent light.

Jin Yu coughed and his expression remained unchanged, "Of course I care."

"Eh?"

Now it was Xu Niannian’s turn to be dumbstruck, was he admitting it just like that?

She had prepared a pile of evidence, ready to accuse him of caring too much about this matter and to ask what he really meant.

The fact that he admitted it so directly left Xu Niannian stumbling, "Uh ... you, you care!"

She asked in a dry and foolish manner, "Why?"

Jin Yu glanced at her, because of her astonishment, her expression was vivid and cute, her almond eyes wide open, yet her eyelashes fluttered continuously.

"Haven’t I said it before? I don’t want to be known for wearing a green hat, so it’s better if you don’t get too close to that Liu something Dong. I can tell he likes you."

As he spoke, Jin Yu’s eyes were fixed intently on Xu Niannian, trying to see if she had the same feelings for that Liu something Dong.

When Xu Niannian heard ’that broken Dong’, she mistook it as ’that hole.’

"Which hole?" She looked down at her clothes, "Where is there a hole?"

Jin Yu: "..."

"It’s Liu what Dong!" he added.

Xu Niannian: "... Liu Wendong."

"Right, him. You better keep your distance from him in the future. Even if you like him, you can only meet him after our marital agreement is dissolved."

Jin Yu felt his reasoning was sound and without flaws, he spoke as if it were a matter of course, with a sense of righteousness.

However, he miscalculated Xu Niannian’s reaction.

Xu Niannian found herself led astray for a while before returning to square one.

She still felt that Jin Yu might like her, or else why would he treat her so well, give her his house to live in for free, and let her use the shop free of charge.

Okay, let’s not talk about these two points; after all, she would be sharing half of her earnings with him in the future. He probably felt that teaching her self-defense techniques and then taking half of the profits was too much of an advantage.

And what about helping out?

Coming to the shop every day to help out, Jin Yu didn’t seem like someone who wanted to get involved with managing a little shop for that bit of money, right?

Anyway, she couldn’t see that he enjoyed working so much.

Xu Niannian pursed her lips, "All right, I have time tomorrow. Let’s go home together and cancel the marriage agreement."

Jin Yu was taken aback, staring at Xu Niannian in astonishment, "What did you say?"

Blinking her clear black and white eyes, Xu Niannian said, "I said, I have time tomorrow, so why not go cancel the marriage agreement."

"I don’t agree!" Jin Yu’s anger surged as he shouted loudly.

Xu Niannian narrowed her eyes and looked at Jin Yu, "Why don’t you agree? Don’t you want to avoid wearing a green hat? If we cancel the marriage agreement, you won’t have that problem anymore."

"Is it because you want to be with that Liu Wendong? So you can’t wait to cancel our marriage agreement?" Jin Yu grabbed her shoulders in anger.

Xu Niannian looked down at the hands gripping her shoulders, veins bulging, then looked up at his face, dark and frosty with obvious rage.

Her suspicions were fifty percent confirmed in her heart.

Xu Niannian continued, "Even so, is there a problem? We were only in a fake engagement. Why do you care so much? If we break off the engagement, I could just start dating Liu Wendong after a short while, and by then no one will say you’ve been cuckolded right? Besides, our two families aren’t even in the same social circle, and the people we know hardly overlap, nobody will keep harping on it."

"You..." Jin Yu’s forehead veins throbbed, his chest feeling bitter and stifled. Indeed, she liked that Liu Wendong.

Was she so eager to live a life together with the man she loved?

It was the first time Jin Yu had liked someone, and he wanted to give all his best to the girl before him.

But she didn’t need it at all.

Jin Yu was filled with anger, annoyance, and discomfort, his chest alarmingly stifled.

She liked that man.

This profound realization caused Jin Yu immense sadness, a mix of rage and jealousy building up in his chest.

He wanted Xu Niannian, wanted to marry her and didn’t want her to be with any other man.

This thought, like a seed, began to sprout roots in his heart, quickly growing into a towering tree.

The thought of her liking someone else and perhaps wanting to marry and have children with another man caused Jin Yu’s heart to clench tightly, and a burst of grievance and anger exploded within him.

"I won’t allow you to cancel the marriage agreement, not even if it kills me. If you dare run off with that broken Liu, I’ll stab him and lock you up. I won’t let you go anywhere, I’ll break your legs."

Jin Yu’s thuggish temper flared, spouting the most extreme threats, trying to intimidate Xu Niannian. He almost wished to portray himself as a dangerous man, to discourage her from liking anyone else.

Xu Niannian, on the other hand, was completely baffled.

She was in the middle of asking questions, trying to pry his mouth open for answers.

She didn’t expect him to be so irritable, and his explosive demeanor made Xu Niannian wonder if she dared to say the word "no," Jin Yu might actually do something terrifying.

But miraculously, she wasn’t scared at all; instead, she found this version of Jin Yu foolishly endearing.

At that moment, Xu Niannian could distinctly feel that she actually had a bit of affection for Jin Yu as well.

It might not have been deep, but there was a fluttering heartbeat.

If he also liked her, then it might not be impossible to give it a try.

The silence of Xu Niannian caused Jin Yu’s irate mood to suddenly become panic-stricken. He suddenly feared that he had frightened her. What if she became afraid of him?

"Niannian... sorry, I’m not..."

"You’re not what?" She looked at him, waiting for his explanation.

And then Jin Yu suddenly didn’t want to explain anything, he just bowed his head, saying nothing.

Not until a minute later did Xu Niannian, with trembling eyelids, ask him, "Jin Yu, do you like me?"
