章 16: I'll Wait For You to Become Stronger
編集者: Henyee Translations
"If you don't believe me, you can check." Under the moonlight, Chu Tang smiled gently and flirtatiously.
Jiang Yingying's face instantly burned. "I should go back and check again…" After saying that, she changed the topic awkwardly and looked at her feet that were on the ground. "Actually, I was just showing off just now. I definitely can't defeat him with brute force, but I can run fast. I definitely won't let him bully you."
Seeing her serious expression, Chu Tang couldn't help but laugh. "So you plan to run with me from now on?"
"Yes." Jiang Yingying nodded, but she thought of something and started to shake her head again. "I won't keep running. When I become stronger, I can protect you even if I don't run."
Under the moonlight, Chu Tang looked at her for a long time and slowly smiled. "Alright, I'll wait for you to become stronger."
"I will!" The young lady clenched her fists and looked around at the unfamiliar road. "Where are we? How can we go back?" She had already used her shoes to hit Chu Lin. She couldn't push Chu Tang back to the villa barefoot.
Chu Tang said, "Close your eyes and count to 10. Then, you'll realize that there's a way to go back."
Jiang Yingying pursed her lips. "I'm not a child anymore." Although she said that, she still closed her eyes to count.
Under the moonlight, Jiang Yingying looked gentle as she counted. Chu Tang stared at her through the darkness of his sunglasses. Perhaps even Chu Tang didn't know that his gaze was terrifyingly gentle.
When Jiang Yingying counted to ten, she instantly opened her eyes. Just as she was about to say that Chu Tang was lying, she saw a car in the distance.
Then, the car drove near them and the driver of the Langyue Residence got out. "I'm sorry for being late, sir."
"You came at just the right time." Chu Tang smiled indifferently. "If you were a second later, your salary would definitely have been deducted."
Only then did Jiang Yingying react. As she supported Chu Tang, she pursed her lips. "I thought you had some brilliant idea. So you just asked the driver to pick you up."
Chu Tang sat down slowly. "This is the best solution a blind person can think of!"
Jiang Yingying didn't like him calling himself that, so she didn't say anything. In addition, she was also tired. She leaned against the car and fell asleep in a short while.
In a daze, she thought she heard someone deliberately lower his voice and say, "Sir, we're here."
"Don't call out…"
Later on, Jiang Yingying felt as if someone had picked her up. That embrace was very warm and she was surrounded by a unique masculine scent. For a moment, she couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality.
It must be a dream. The person carrying her was so gentle. He even tousled her hair and called her a little fool.
The man's voice was deep and melodious, like a cello. She found it familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before. When she woke up again, it was the next morning.
The warm sunlight was very dazzling. Jiang Yingying yawned and looked around. This was her and Chu Tang's bedroom. She tried to remember what happened last night. She remembered that she and Chu Tang got into the car to return to the Langyue Residence. She was too tired at that time and fell asleep. What happened after that?
How did she get from the car to the bed? Could it be that what happened last night wasn't a dream? But that wasn't right. Chu Tang couldn't see and his legs were crippled…
"You're awake?" The man's deep and magnetic voice sounded.
Jiang Yingying was stunned and suddenly turned to look at the source of the voice. However, at that moment, she happened to meet his deep eyes. Jiang Yingying blushed even more. How could a blind person's gaze be so sharp? But on second thought, he couldn't see her. Why was she blushing?
Then, Jiang Yingying smiled and said, "You're awake too?"
"Yes." He could see her actions and expression clearly. He smiled and got up with his walking stick to walk to her. "You didn't sleep well last night?"
Jiang Yingying frowned. "I slept quite well." She didn't understand why the man asked that.
The next second, she heard the man say resentfully, "But you were snoring."
Jiang Yingying was speechless. "No way." She smiled awkwardly and subconsciously changed the topic. "By the way, how did I come back last night?"
Chu Tang entered the bathroom without turning back and said, "You walked back by yourself."
Jiang Yingying was speechless.
She had too many questions. Firstly, it was impossible for her to snore. Now, he was saying that she sleepwalked. Jiang Yingying didn't believe him at all! However, she didn't lower herself to his level. Just as she was about to get up, her phone rang. It was Yang Xuerong.
Yang Xuerong sounded was very anxious on the phone. "Yingying, come to school quickly! I don't know where this person came from, but he tore and burned your books at school."
