Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 494 - 461: Jun, Your Cool Life: Ten Years

"Didn’t I say already? The condition you offered is too good. So good that if I refuse, I’ll feel uneasy." Jian Liangtong said in a relaxed tone.

Huo Shaojun looked at her, silent for a long moment.

Jian Liangtong didn’t miss the sorrow in his eyes, but she couldn’t let herself care.

"Sign the contract tomorrow."

"Alright."

Jin Jumo returned to the dormitory; it was almost time for the school’s curfew.

Coming up the stairs, Jin Jumo just took out the key from her bag when she saw Jian Liangtong squatting at her dorm door, hugging her knees, quietly watching her.

Jin Jumo’s brows instantly furrowed as she quickly walked over, nervously staring at Jian Liangtong.

Jian Liangtong released the arms hugging her knees and slowly stood up.

Jin Jumo didn’t have time to ask anything before Jian Liangtong hugged her.

Jin Jumo’s eyes trembled, she reached out to embrace her back, softly asking, "What’s wrong?"

Jian Liangtong didn’t speak, just tightened her grip around Jin Jumo.

In the dormitory, Jin Jumo and Jian Liangtong sat facing each other.

Jian Liangtong’s mood was low, her brows had been tightly furrowed from the moment Jin Jumo saw her.

Jin Jumo was anxious inside, but her temperament differed from Jian Liangtong’s — even if anxious inside, she remained calm on the surface, "Liang Tong, didn’t you go to the birthday party today? Did something unpleasant happen?"

Jian Liangtong lowered her head, muffled voice responding, "No."

Jin Jumo lowered her eyes to glare at her head, her eyes catching her constantly stirring hands, her brows furrowing, "Really nothing happened?"

"Mm."

"Okay." Jin Jumo said, standing up.

Jian Liangtong noticed, blankly raising her head to look at Jin Jumo.

"Since you won’t say, I’ll have to ask your roommates what happened." Jin Jumo said calmly, half her body already turned out, her hand suddenly pulled by Jian Liangtong, once again dragged her back to sit.

Jin Jumo pursed her lips tightly, staring at Jian Liangtong’s somewhat panicked face, squinting, "Will you say it yourself, or should I ask your roommates? You choose."

"..." Jian Liangtong pouted, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Jin Jumo was startled, hurriedly reaching out to wipe her tears, "Why are you crying now? Hmm?"

"Ju Zi." Jian Liangtong cried out loud, throwing herself into Jin Jumo’s arms, clinging like a child to Jin Jumo’s neck, crying so hard she could hardly breathe.

Jin Jumo’s heart tightened, gently patting her trembling back, speaking softly, "Did someone bully you?"

"Ooh..." Jian Liangtong cried so sorrowfully.

Probably everyone on several floors could hear her crying.

Jin Jumo worried about alerting the dorm caretaker, patting Jian Liangtong’s back, saying, "When the dorm caretaker comes, you’ll be embarrassed. Stop crying now, if you must cry, do it quietly."

"..." Jian Liangtong’s voice indeed dropped noticeably, probably afraid of losing face.

Jin Jumo felt amused yet heartbroken, patted her hair, softly saying, "Been holding it in for a long time, haven’t you?"

"..." Jian Liangtong was provoked to cry even longer by Jin Jumo’s words.

Jin Jumo knew Jian Liangtong’s temperament, this girl not crying was fine, but once she started, she just couldn’t stop.

Moreover, this time, what she encountered was probably more than just grievance!

Thinking of this, Jin Jumo’s brows furrowed again.

Jian Liangtong’s mood gradually calmed down, half an hour later.

Jin Jumo looked at her eyes swollen like walnuts, furrowed brows, "Let’s see how you’ll go out tomorrow."

Jian Liangtong used her palms to cover her eyes lightly, sniffing and saying, "Just apply cold water later, it’ll be fine,"

"Mm, quite experienced."

"..." Jian Liangtong wanted to laugh while feeling a bit wronged, glaring at Jin Jumo.

Jin Jumo sighed, getting up to the balcony’s sink, repeatedly wetting a towel with cold water, wringing it, bringing it back.

Handed the towel to Jian Liangtong, "Apply it now."

Jian Liangtong accepted it, cupping the towel over her entire face.

After a while, Jin Jumo heard her say, "Ju Zi, can I not talk about what happened today?"

Jin Jumo paused, "...Alright, if saying it makes you uncomfortable, then don’t."

"I’ll sleep here tonight." Jian Liangtong said.

"Alright."

"Ju Zi."

"Mm?"

"Thank you."

"Ha, silly."

"Really."

"Okay, I got it."

Jin Jumo woke up the next morning, finding Jian Liangtong was no longer in the dorm, while getting dressed, she saw a note stuck to the closet saying she went back to her dorm.

Jin Jumo stared at Jian Liangtong’s handwriting, couldn’t help but think of her unusual behavior last night, pursing her pink lips.

Girls’ Dormitory 5201

Jian Liangtong walked to the dormitory door and found it ajar, her eyes flickered and she gently pushed the door open.

Almost the moment she pushed the door open, six pairs of eyes shot towards her simultaneously.

Jian Liangtong frowned slightly, scanned the people with her gaze, and walked in.

"Xiao Liangzi." Tao Yaoyao was the first to stand up and walk toward Jian Liangtong, her expression concerned.

Jian Liangtong pressed her lips together, looking at her.

"Are you okay?" Tao Yaoyao asked softly, a certain hidden meaning in her words.

Jian Liangtong’s eyebrows knitted tighter, her apricot eyes sharply staring at her, her voice colder than Tao Yaoyao and others had ever heard, "Why are you asking this?"

Jian Liangtong’s heart couldn’t help but turn cold at this moment.

She didn’t want to jump to the worst conclusions, but the situation in front of her forced her to think that way.

Tao Yaoyao was frozen, her face stiff under Jian Liangtong’s stare.

Jian Liangtong’s fingertips pressed hard into her palm, inhaling she looked at her roommates she had lived with for almost four years, sneering, "So you all knew what was going to happen last night, didn’t you?"

"Xiao Liangzi, you misunderstood." Wu Runyu hurriedly stood up, anxiously looking at Jian Liangtong, "We had no idea Zhang Meng would do that to you."

"Didn’t know?"

Jian Liangtong’s voice was cold, her gaze sharp, "And yet now, how do you know? Could it be that Zhang Meng told you personally?"

"Liang Tong, it’s my fault, blame me if you must." Lian Qianqian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, her voice trembling fiercely, on the verge of tears.

Jian Liangtong looked at Lian Qianqian’s guilt-ridden pale face, her teeth chattering.

"Liang Tong, it was my brother."

Lian Qianqian stood up crying, lifting one arm to block her face, sobbing as she said, "Zhang Meng somehow found out that I was going to hold a birthday party at my brother’s karaoke room, so he approached my brother, saying his dad is the director of the public security bureau, and he knows that my brother’s karaoke room is running illegal activities. If my brother didn’t help him, he would have his dad investigate my brother’s karaoke room, my brother was afraid of being investigated, so he agreed to help him."

"I only found out last night that my brother brought Zhang Meng over without my consent. Like you, I only realized he was there when I got to the karaoke room. Boo hoo, I mean, it was my birthday last night, I couldn’t just kick him out, right? And, and I thought he’s also a senior student, he wouldn’t do anything too excessive, who knew, boo hoo..."

Lian Qianqian’s entire body was shaking from crying, "Liang Tong, boo hoo... it’s my fault, all my fault, boo hoo... I should have just chased him away when I saw Zhang Meng at the party last night. Boo hoo... and my brother, my brother also wronged you, boo hoo..."

Jian Liangtong’s eyes slightly focused, despite Lian Qianqian’s crying making her words somewhat unclear, she roughly understood.

So, Zhang Meng wasn’t invited by her to the party, and they didn’t know what Zhang Meng intended to do to her.

"But how do you know about this now?" Jian Liangtong was puzzled.

"Boo hoo..."

With Jian Liangtong’s question, Lian Qianqian cried even harder.

Seeing this, Jian Liangtong bit her lower lip, looking questioningly at Tao Yaoyao and Wu Runyu.

"Zhang Meng told us himself." Tao Yaoyao and Wu Runyu exchanged a glance, replying in a low voice.

Really...

Jian Liangtong was startled, "He said it himself?"

Tao Yaoyao and Wu Runyu nodded.

"Last night Zhang Meng was brought into the private room, his face swollen like a pig head, covered in blood, kneeling on the tea table in the private room, admitting it himself." Tao Yaoyao said.

"..." Jian Liangtong’s face turned pale, "So, everyone at the party knew I..."

Tao Yaoyao and Wu Runyu remained silent.

Jian Liangtong closed her eyes, feeling so ashamed she wanted to jump into the school’s Mirror Lake.

"Don’t worry, Zhang Meng also said that he didn’t even touch your finger." Wu Runyu reached out and patted Jian Liangtong’s arm, reassuringly.

Jian Liangtong gritted her teeth, opening her eyes, "And after that?"

"After that Zhang Meng was taken away, as for where he was taken, we don’t know." Wu Runyu said.

"It’s just that..."

Tao Yaoyao glanced at the endlessly crying Lian Qianqian, hesitating.

Jian Liangtong also glanced at Lian Qianqian, looking at Tao Yaoyao and asked, "It’s just that what?"

Tao Yaoyao lowered her voice, "Qianqian’s brother’s karaoke room was sealed, and her brother was also taken to the police station, he hasn’t been released yet."

Jian Liangtong, "..."

"He did such a thing, it’s what he deserves!" Lian Qianqian cried.

Hearing what Lian Qianqian said, Jian Liangtong’s heart, cold all night, finally warmed a little.

Luckily, they were still the kind and honest roommates she knew.

Lian Qianqian didn’t cover for her brother, though she was upset, she knew that what her brother did was wrong and deserved punishment.

At ten in the morning, Jian Liangtong arrived on time at the place she and Huo Shaojun agreed to sign the contract.

He chose a place away from crowded areas, a rarely visited basketball court.

Jian Liangtong had a bit of trouble finding it.

Walking slowly towards the entrance along the wire mesh, Jian Liangtong watched a tall man bouncing the ball and shooting hoops on the court, sweating profusely, and her heartstrings uncontrollably trembled.

Perhaps noticing Jian Liangtong, the man who was focused on playing basketball stopped with the ball in one hand and turned his head towards Jian Liangtong.

Jian Liangtong’s eyes tightened, her cheeks heating up.

The man on the basketball court beckoned Jian Liangtong with a wave.

Jian Liangtong was a bit dumbfounded, standing still, looking at him.

Behind her was the man’s warm body, his long arms encircling her from behind, his broad hand covering her hand.
