Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 297 - 291: Knocking on the Door at Midnight (Fifteen)

It was too late; her slightly plump figure had already reached the door.

Ji Anning was startled for a moment before reaching out to touch where Jin Yuanyuan had kissed her, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

This girl, she really was enthusiastic and unrestrained!

...

When a flashy second-generation rich kid, Rong Feifan, arrived at school, new topics about him occupied T University’s hot news every day, so Ji Anning’s low-key return to school didn’t attract much attention.

For both lunch and dinner, Ji Anning was dragged along by Jin Yuanyuan.

As winter approached, the days grew shorter. When they left the small restaurant, it was already dusk. This meal was Jin Yuanyuan’s treat, to thank Ji Anning for accompanying her in exercise.

"The Di San Xian here is really delicious."

As they left the restaurant, Jin Yuanyuan couldn’t stop praising tonight’s dishes, clearly marking her as a genuine food lover.

Ji Anning smiled, then her phone in her bag suddenly rang. She reached in and pulled it out, seeing Ji Chicheng on the caller ID.

She looked warily at Jin Yuanyuan beside her, then turned down the volume and answered the call, pressing it to her ear and softly saying, "Hello?"

"Waiting for you at the bus stop sign."

The man’s tone was clear and to the point, without any small talk.

Ji Anning turned her head and, in a lowered voice, replied, "You go back first, I’ll take the bus home."

"Stand there, don’t move, I’m coming to pick you up."

Ji Chicheng casually spoke and immediately hung up the phone.

Hearing the ’beep beep’ of the disconnected call, Ji Anning became anxious. She glanced towards the bus stop sign and from afar, she didn’t see Ji Chicheng’s car.

Regardless, she thought it best to part ways with Yuanyuan first. Hurrying, Ji Anning said, "Yuanyuan, I might have to go home now. Go back to the dorm yourself, see you tomorrow."

Jin Yuanyuan frowned, "Why do you suddenly have to leave? Didn’t you say you were going to the evening self-study?"

"Something suddenly came up." While Ji Anning spoke, she kept glancing in the direction of the bus stop sign.

But she still couldn’t see either Ji Chicheng or his car, which made her feel uneasy.

Heaven knows if he might suddenly appear from behind her.

"Anning."

Just as Ji Anning was considering this possibility, a familiar male voice really did come from behind her.

Her expression froze and her body shivered, typical — good predictions never come true, bad ones do!

"Teacher Ji." Jin Yuanyuan saw Ji Chicheng, her eyes shone with excitement, just like a fan seeing their idol.

She immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Ji Anning, feeling helpless, also braced herself and turned around to look at Ji Chicheng’s cold and aloof face. She quickly walked over and pulled Jin Yuanyuan, who wanted to chat with Ji Chicheng, "Yuanyuan, weren’t you supposed to attend your evening self-study? You should go back and get ready."

But, finding herself close to the male idol of the whole school, Jin Tongxie had no intention of leaving. Ignoring Ji Anning’s words, she cheerfully said to Ji Chicheng, "Teacher Ji, Anning and I are neighbors."

Ji Anning: "..."

If you have to chat, why drag me into it!

"Is that so?" Ji Chicheng replied indifferently to Jin Yuanyuan, his dark, deep eyes lazily drifting toward Ji Anning.

Ji Anning signaled him with her eyes, motioning for him to leave first.

He normally looked down on everyone, and words like courtesy and politeness were almost non-existent in his dictionary. Yet, he had conversed with Jin Yuanyuan; clearly, it was all because of her.

However, he was completely indifferent to her intentions.

Ji Anning was extremely anxious.
