155: Chapter 155 Damn! Could this brat have fallen for that brat?!

Jiang Che's first reaction was that Stinky Girl and Tang Xinwei's teacher, the one named Chen Xuanni.

But on second thought, during their conversation that day, Chen Xuanni had said she wouldn't reveal anything casually.

"Who?"

Jiang Ning's expression became hesitant. She mumbled for a moment before whispering, "It's that... that older sister from the couple's set meal."

"..." Jiang Che only felt his head buzzing. "You actually dared to talk about that kind of thing?"

"She was an internet friend... back then, we didn't know each other."

"An internet friend? Then how did you end up meeting later?"

"Well, I said I was coming to Nansu, and she said she happened to be on a business trip nearby, so she asked to meet up."

"And then you just went?"

"Yeah..."

"Are you an idiot? What if you ran into a bad person?"

Hearing Jiang Che's words, Jiang Ning felt both aggrieved and unconvinced, but seeing the look in Jiang Che's eyes, she chickened out. "I..."

She had only managed to get one word out when the door opened.

Having finished washing up, Tang Xinwei saw Jiang Ning sitting on the bed and Jiang Che sitting on the edge of the bed with his upper body leaning in slightly. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her hands to cover her eyes. "Sorry, sorry! I should have knocked. You two continue..."

After saying that, she slammed the door shut.

Jiang Che had black lines all over his head. He stood up and opened the door again. "Continue what? I'm just chatting with Jiang Ning."

"Chatting?" Tang Xinwei looked suspicious. She carefully glanced at her roommate in the room, then gave a light cough. "You weren't kissing?"

This single sentence made both people inside and outside the door feel awkward.

"Weiwei!" Jiang Ning scolded from the bed.

"Alright, time to get up. Hurry to school." Tang Xinwei stuck out her tongue, being very playful. Afterward, she walked back into the room. Just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly looked at Jiang Che at the doorway and added, "Senior, Ningning is going to change clothes. Do you want to come in and watch?"

Jiang Che's vision went dark. "No need."

Then, he walked straight back to his own room.

Closing the door, the sound of Stinky Girl's shy anger came from next door: "Weiwei, what are you spouting nonsense for? Why don't you change clothes for my brother to see?"

"Oh, I'm too shy! Don't, stop tickling me, it's itchy~"

Only now did Jiang Che realize that these two were no longer just roommates; they were best friends.

During breakfast, Jiang Ning's face was red the entire time. After rushing through the meal, she dragged Tang Xinwei and left the house together.

As soon as the two of them left, Jiang Che picked up his phone and sent a message to Stinky Girl.

"Keep it a secret."

Soon, Stinky Girl replied: "I know! Weiwei won't go around talking about it!"

Looking at the message, Jiang Che felt a bit depressed and added: "I wasn't talking about her, I was talking about you."

Then, Jiang Che received an angry emoji from Jiang Ning.

Jiang Che let out a long sigh. Was this Stinky Girl, Jiang Ning, really not afraid of the matter spreading and becoming known to everyone?

On the way to work, Jiang Che thought it over and over, then finally pulled out Chen Xuanni's number.

"Teacher Chen, is Jiang Ning doing okay at school recently?"

After a few minutes, he received a reply: "She's doing quite well."

He replied with a thank you, and then there were no more messages from the other side.

Because he left relatively early today, when he arrived at the company, An Ran, Luo Yao, and the others hadn't arrived yet.

However, unexpectedly, Dongfang Yitian had already arrived.

"You came so early. Have you had breakfast?"

Dongfang Yitian looked at Jiang Che, hesitated for two seconds, and said softly: "I have."

After speaking, this beautiful girl just looked at him expressionlessly, saying nothing more.

Jiang Che found it amusing. "Classmate Dongfang, do you not like me? Why don't you say a word about anything other than work? I count as half your teacher, you know."

Seeing him be so straightforward, Dongfang Yitian's fair face turned slightly red. Then, she glared at him and stopped talking again.

Jiang Che, unable to laugh or cry, shook his head. Forget it, he wouldn't tease her; her personality was even stranger than Stinky Girl's.

In the morning, the department held a meeting. After it ended, Jiang Che took advantage of the free time to carefully hand over some work to Dongfang Yitian. Besides the work itself, he also passed on some personal experience to her.

It was strange; this girl was cold to him, but when it came to work, she was very serious and quite talented.

At noon, shortly after eleven.

Jiang Che was still in the conference room explaining some matters to Dongfang Yitian when suddenly, a girl from another department knocked on the door. Seeing Jiang Che inside, she said softly: "Brother Che, there's a very pretty girl outside looking for you."

A very pretty girl? Jiang Che frowned. It wouldn't be Tang Xinwei, would it?

Dongfang Yitian, who was on the side, also looked at Jiang Che curiously.

Just as Jiang Che was about to get up, another face appeared at the door.

"Hmph, I called several times and you didn't answer." Jiang Ning muttered a complaint. The next second, she noticed the very pretty girl with platinum-blonde hair beside Jiang Che.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Che asked curiously.

And he didn't notice at all that Dongfang Yitian, on the side, looked at Jiang Ning with eyes that lit up.

"Are you... tutoring homework?" Jiang Ning sized up Dongfang Yitian for a moment, then shifted her gaze back to Jiang Che and asked softly.

"What homework? This is a new colleague in the department."

After saying this, he stood up and said to Dongfang Yitian: "Basically, it's what I just mentioned. If you don't understand anything, ask me or An Ran later. You can go back first."

Dongfang Yitian nodded gently, then gathered the documents in front of her, stood up, and walked toward the door.

When leaving, she paused slightly and exchanged a look with Jiang Ning, who was walking in, before leaving the conference room.

"Hmph, where did you provoke another girl from? She's so pretty." After the person left, Jiang Ning scolded.

"Is she as pretty as you?" Jiang Che replied offhandedly, then asked, "Why did you come to my company?"

Jiang Ning was still stunned by the first half of his sentence. After two seconds, she realized he was asking a question. "You still have the nerve to ask? I left my things at home, and my keys too. I called you several times and you didn't answer. I need them for class this afternoon, so I had no choice but to come here."

"You called?" Jiang Che took out his phone. Sure enough, three missed calls.

Only then did he realize that he had set his phone to silent for the earlier meeting.

Jiang Che took out the keys but looked at the time. "How about you eat before you go?"

"I'm not eating." Jiang Ning muttered, but after walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.

"Is there something else?" Jiang Che asked curiously.

Jiang Ning shook her head and stared straight at Jiang Che. "Never mind, I'm hungry. I'll eat lunch before I go."

Jiang Che was unable to laugh or cry. This girl, why was she so fickle?

When he brought Jiang Ning back to the office, An Ran, Luo Yao, and Yang Fei, the three acquaintances, immediately greeted her with smiles.

"Here, little sister, have a drink." Luo Yao took out some yogurt she had in her drawer.

Jiang Ning was slightly embarrassed but said thank you and took it.

She took a look, and the pretty girl from before was also there.

Stinky Girl gave Jiang Che a secret, inexplicable glare.

Hmph, that's three now. One more than last time.

Jiang Che didn't notice his sister's gaze, but instead... he looked at Dongfang Yitian. He discovered that this introverted girl was currently staring straight at his sister, her eyes glowing.

After being stunned for three seconds, Jiang Che was suddenly struck by lightning.

Damn! This girl wouldn't be a lesbian and have taken a liking to Stinky Girl, would she?!
