Chapter 281 – I’ve never been this speechless in my life Ren Lan was, of course, reluctant to part with Niu Naitang. She patted Niu Naitang's head and said, "Of course I will! Whenever I don't have classes, I'll come to see you. We can play games together at night. I'll make sure we dominate the game world! I'll teach you how to fight!" But Niu Naitang still wasn't convinced. "Tang Tang doesn't want to fight. Girls who are too violent won't find anyone to marry." Ren Lan rolled her eyes and pinched her chubby cheeks. "Who told you that nonsense?" "It's true. I saw on TV that violent girls end up alone," Niu Naitang said seriously. Ren Lan was so annoyed that she tackled the little girl and started tickling her. "I'll show you for talking nonsense! Feel my super tickle attack!" Niu Naitang laughed uncontrollably, begging for mercy to no avail. The two of them, one big and one small, started a playful tussle on the sofa. Lin Jichen and Gu Qiuxue could only smile wryly, letting them have their fun. Before long, Ren Lan was fine, but Niu Naitang was sweating all over. Finally escaping Ren Lan's clutches, Niu Naitang hid in Gu Qiuxue's arms. "Big Sister Ren is a big meanie! Big dummy! Tang Tang won't talk to you anymore! Hmph!" The little girl pouted, angrily declaring a 'break-up' with Ren Lan. "Still daring to scold me? I'll tickle you for another ten minutes!" Ren Lan threatened. Niu Naitang didn't dare say another word, burrowing deeper into Gu Qiuxue's embrace. Seeing her sweaty head, Gu Qiuxue smiled gently and said, "How did you end up so sweaty? It's getting cold now, and if your sweat dries, you'll catch a cold. Tang Tang, how about I take you for a bath?" With Gu Qiuxue's suggestion, Niu Naitang became very obedient. "Okay~ Thank you, Sister Qiuxue~" Gu Qiuxue, who was fond of this cute and clever little girl, immediately took her to the bathroom. In the living room, only Lin Jichen and Ren Lan were left. Ren Lan suddenly sidled up to Lin Jichen, her face blushing, hesitating to speak. "Little Lin, I'm going back to school tomorrow. Will you miss me?" Lin Jichen, munching on an apple, froze mid-bite, his mouth hanging open. This felt... off. "Of course... I will... why?" Lin Jichen's heart started racing. Was she about to confess? Could it be that Niu Naitang's words had gotten to her, making her think she wouldn't find a boyfriend and thus prompting her to confess to him? This... this was moving a bit too fast... Hearing his response, Ren Lan's pale, translucent face turned an even deeper shade of red. Her beautiful eyes shyly looked at Lin Jichen, her pearly teeth biting her rosy lips, exuding infinite bashfulness. "Can I back out?" Lin Jichen tried to struggle one last time. "Dream on. A man should keep his word. I'm leaving tomorrow. Can't you fulfill my last wish?" Ren Lan used both soft and hard tactics. With no other choice, Lin Jichen felt like crying but had no tears, resigning himself to his fate. If life forces you, since you can't resist, you might as well enjoy it... "But if we make too much noise, my sister will get mad at you," Lin Jichen remembered his sister, hoping she could help him. "Don't worry, I have a plan," Ren Lan said confidently, then rushed to the bathroom. Gu Qiuxue was just about to give Niu Naitang a bath. "Sister Qiuxue, Little Lin and I are going for a night run. We ate too much dinner, and some exercise will help with digestion. Otherwise, we won't be able to sleep," Ren Lan said earnestly. Gu Qiuxue didn't think much of it and nodded immediately. "Be careful. It's not very safe at night. Little Chen should go with you." Then she turned to Lin Jichen and said, "Little Chen, remember to protect Little Lan. Come back soon." Lin Jichen stood there, mouth agape, looking desperate. Oh my god, does she need protection? She should be the one protecting me. Right now, he just wanted to be protected, to avoid being beaten up by Ren Lan like last time. Thinking about the last time and the pain all over his body, Lin Jichen felt the world turn gray. Stay away from Ren Lan, stay away from the female demon. "Got it, Sister Qiuxue. We'll be back soon. Let's go, Little Lin, time for a night run!" Ren Lan said, pulling Lin Jichen out the door, giving him no chance to resist. Once outside, they headed to a small grove behind the neighborhood. Usually, couples went into the grove for some intimate moments. But Lin Jichen and Ren Lan were there to practice martial arts. When Ren Lan started, the other couples in the grove fled in panic. One couple, in the heat of the moment, was so startled they ran off with their pants half on, thinking they were being robbed. When they realized Lin Jichen and Ren Lan were practicing boxing, the couples looked at Lin Jichen with such resentment. If not for Ren Lan being a formidable fighter, they would have torn Lin Jichen apart. Lin Jichen felt so wronged. He didn't want to be there either, really. He had never felt so speechless in his life.
