Chapter 91: Damn, I’m Really Scared
At the time, Nan Xun quickly explained, “I just think this university is close to home.”
Ji Shaoqing didn’t believe her at first—after all, that reason sounded ridiculous.
Nan Xun really didn’t want to drag him into trouble, because even she herself found Li Chen’s possessiveness terrifying. So she once again made it clear that she would not be getting into a relationship.
Although Ji Shaoqing was a little heartbroken, after being rejected repeatedly, he rarely contacted her again after that.
“Well… you’re overthinking it. We’re just ordinary classmates,” Nan Xun clarified to her roommates.
The roommates who had been hoping for gossip immediately deflated.
Nan Xun then added, “I won’t be dating while I’m in college. My dad doesn’t allow me to date.”
They froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.
One of them laughed so hard tears came out. “Nan Nan, your dad’s right. You’re still young—don’t rush into dating.”
Nan Xun felt that she was probably being sarcastic.
In short, Nan Xun became a little white rabbit in everyone’s eyes—especially well-behaved and especially pure.
And that little white rabbit was growing day by day, getting closer and closer to adulthood.
Nan Xun felt uneasy. “Little Eight, why has my heart been racing lately? I keep having palpitations. I’m not going to suddenly drop dead, am I?”
The Void Beast comforted her. “It’s fine, it’s fine. You’re just too nervous. This is a normal reaction. Relax, relax. It’s just losing your chastity—you won’t lose a piece of flesh.”
After hearing that, Nan Xun’s heart started pounding even harder.
She really shouldn’t have asked Little Eight. Seriously.
These days, when Nan Xun slept holding Li Chen, she could feel how scorching hot his skin was. It was terrifying.
Damn it—she was really scared.
Seeing her so timid for once, the Void Beast was in a rather good mood and changed the subject. “Dear~ don’t forget, today is Li Chen Daddy’s birthday~”
Nan Xun sighed. “I might forget my own birthday, but I’d never dare forget his. When have I ever forgotten his birthday?”
Nan Xun’s birthday was very close to Li Chen’s—only five days apart. That meant that once Li Chen’s birthday passed, her eighteenth birthday would arrive almost immediately. It was truly a depressing thought.
That afternoon, she only had one big lecture. After class, Nan Xun rode her bicycle to a nearby, very famous pottery studio.
This studio let customers make pottery by hand. A few days earlier, Nan Xun had spent an entire afternoon under the guidance of a pottery teacher, shaping two ceramic cups.
The bottoms of the cups were engraved with her name and Li Chen’s. After they were fired, she even painted two cute cartoon cats on them—one on each cup—blowing kisses at each other. They looked especially adorable.
The shop owner had already packaged the cups. Nan Xun hugged them like a treasure and sighed, “I’ve never put this much thought into anyone before. If Li Chen’s malice points don’t drop by a lot this time, I’ll take his surname.”
Void Beast: “…In this world, your name is Li Xiao Nan. You already have his surname.”
Nan Xun took her things and was about to head home, wanting to get back early to surprise Li Chen. But at that moment, she received a phone call. After hanging up, her face instantly changed.
“Don’t panic, don’t panic. I think I have a VIP card for that place. Wait for me!”
Nan Xun abandoned her bicycle, flagged down a taxi, and hurriedly said to the driver, “Sir, take me to Twilight at the commercial center.”
The driver glanced at her with a subtle expression.
Not just anyone could enter Twilight. Those who could were people with status and clout. Even people who couldn’t get in still knew about it—most could only admire the lavishly decorated entrance in passing, because they didn’t have a VIP card that allowed free entry.
Nan Xun realized the driver had misunderstood and quickly explained, “Sir, one of my female classmates was tricked into going to Twilight. I have to get there immediately to save her!”
The driver’s expression turned serious. “Young lady, it’s useless for you to go alone. This should be reported to the police.”
“If this blows up, it won’t be good for my classmate,” Nan Xun said. “Don’t worry, sir. I’ll call my dad in a moment. With him there, no one would dare bully me.”
Seeing her confidence, the driver didn’t say more and immediately drove toward the commercial center.
When Nan Xun arrived, several of her roommates were waiting at the entrance, so anxious they were about to cry.
“Nan Nan, do you really have a VIP card for this place?”
Nan Xun didn’t waste any words. She immediately pulled out her phone and dialed a number. “Uncle Zhao, it’s Nan Nan. I need to get into your Twilight. Tell the people blocking the way to let me in—right now.”
On the other end of the phone, the cigarette Zhao Minghao had between his lips dropped to the floor with a clatter.
He glanced at Li Chen sitting across from him, then at the other brothers, and finally at the stunning beauty Yu Wanshan sitting beside Li Chen. Suddenly, the phone felt hot in his hand.
Today was Li Chen’s birthday. Since everyone in their circle knew Li Chen never stayed out late, Zhao Minghao had gathered all their childhood friends together in the afternoon, planning to have some fun.
Miss Yu from the Yu family had shown up uninvited, bringing a few girlfriends along. Everyone was having a great time, and a few people had even hit it off.
Naturally, Zhao Minghao had chosen his own turf—Twilight—and booked the most luxurious private room.
Seeing his strange expression after answering the call, everyone stopped their card game. Someone asked, “Brother Zhao, is your little lover calling to check up on you?”
The moment the words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
Li Chen also slightly lifted his eyes to look at Zhao Minghao.
Zhao Minghao’s hand suddenly twitched—and he accidentally pressed the speakerphone button.
Then a soft, sweet, slightly anxious voice came through the phone: “Uncle Zhao, are you listening? I need to get into Twilight—right now! If you don’t tell the people outside to let me in, I’ll tell my dad about the time you flirted with me last time! Hmph!”
Zhao Minghao started trembling all over. Turning his head, he saw that the man who had been sitting expressionlessly on the sofa suddenly stood up, his face black as the bottom of a pot.
“Hello? Uncle Zhao? You’re really not going to help me? Then I’ll also tell my dad about how you secretly forced me to drink alcohol!”
Zhao Minghao was about to kneel before this little ancestor. To stop her from saying anything else, he hurriedly said, “Nan Nan, wait a moment, okay? Uncle is at Twilight—I’ll come out to get you right away!”
Zhao Minghao ditched the crowd behind him and rushed outside. Li Chen was even faster. The dark expression on his face made Zhao Minghao both terrified and guilty.
He and Yu Wanshan had teamed up to mess with Li Chen—silencing his phone, and earlier even slipping something “fun” into his drink. Li Chen absolutely couldn’t leave this place. If he did, the consequences would be unimaginable.
