Chapter 34: Saving the Gentle Senior 10

Without waiting for Shen Qingci's response, Jin Chen let go of him first, his tone solemn yet gentle.

"Give me a chance to pursue you, okay?"

Shen Qingci moved his lips, wanting to say I like you too, but he suppressed it himself.

He nodded, reached out to touch Jin Chen's head, his smile warm and brilliant.

"Then let's see how Little Jin Chen performs."

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -10, total 40, Heartbeat Value +20, total 50!】

Jin Chen smoothly took his hand, "Let's go get lunch, senior, what do you want to eat?"

He rubbed his stomach, Shen Qingci thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at Jin Chen, his eyes narrowing slightly in the sunlight.

"Let's have the cafeteria's fish noodles!"

Jin Chen shook his hand, "Let's go."

The two walked hand in hand down the wide tree-lined avenue, the midsummer sun fierce and dazzling, sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled light on them, love surging.

——

Area 2 Cafeteria.

The two lined up at the fish noodle window, one in front of the other, Jin Chen shielding Shen Qingci in front, lowering his head to whisper something in his ear, Shen Qingci's ears slightly red, he gave him an annoyed glance.

Their interaction was seen by many; students still posting on the forum instantly raised their phones and snapped several pictures with rapid clicks.

Jin Chen noticed, glanced over.

The girl's face flushed instantly, but he smiled and nodded, not minding it, instead lowering his head to say to Shen Qingci's ear.

"Senior, later the forum will spread that we're a couple."

Shen Qingci's lips curled, "Aren't you happy?"

"Then I'm overjoyed," Jin Chen embraced him from behind, resting his head on his shoulder, "I can't wait for everyone to think that."

He moved his neck, Shen Qingci tilted his head back to look at him.

"Then why didn't you just confess earlier?"

"Because you're too good, senior; a straightforward confession would feel too informal, there needs to be the ceremony of pursuing you."

Jin Chen chuckled, then whispered another line.

"Anyway, people end up getting taken home, senior, you can't escape."

Shen Qingci laughed helplessly, pushing his head away.

"So that's what you're thinking."

While they chatted, the line had already reached them.

Shen Qingci ordered the signature fish noodles without scallions, according to his taste.

When Jin Chen said he also wanted a signature fish noodle, he instinctively added, "No cilantro."

Jin Chen's payment motion paused, he looked back at Shen Qingci, "Senior, how did you know I don't eat cilantro?"

Shen Qingci was also puzzled, "I don't know, I just felt you shouldn't eat it."

He scratched his head, feeling strange.

Jin Chen didn't let him dwell on it, taking the two bowls, "Senior, go get the spoon and chopsticks."

He held the bowl, steadily following Shen Qingci away from the line.

But then they encountered an uninvited guest.

Lin Le had been waiting by the chair for Qi Ze.

Qi Ze knew he hadn't gotten the lead dancer spot, his attitude toward him wasn't great today, he even compared him to Shen Qingci, he was angry, and then saw Shen Qingci walking over with bowl and chopsticks.

He habitually opened his mouth to mock.

"Shen Qingci, you're really bold, aren't you afraid the forum might show something else?"

Shen Qingci gave him a cold look.

"What stuff, are you talking about those drinking companion photos?"

Lin Le's face changed, "What did you say!"

"Lin Le, rather than fabricating things, I think people would prefer to see genuine photos and videos, what do you think?"

Perhaps because now there are people who will unconditionally believe their own, Shen Qingci gained the confidence to resist and spoke of what he had previously investigated.

Jin Chen stood behind him, seeing Shen Qingci not suffering loss, he turned to put the bowl down.

But just then, Lin Le, flushed with anger and panic, directly hurled the hot tea in front of him at Shen Qingci.

Jin Chen caught it in his peripheral vision, reacted quickly, swiftly stepped to shield Shen Qingci, using his arm to block the hot tea cup; although he wasn't hit, scalding water splashed onto his shoulder, his white short-sleeve instantly clinging to his skin.

Shen Qingci was dazed for a few seconds, then opened his eyes to see Jin Chen blocking in front of him, he let out a soft exclamation.

"Jin Chen!"

He dared not touch Jin Chen's reddened shoulder, his fingers trembling slightly.

"I'm fine."

Jin Chen patted Shen Qingci's head, "Just need to go to the infirmary later."

He then turned, looking at the already stunned Lin Le, his aura cold and frightening.

"Are your hands itchy?"

People in the cafeteria who saw this scene all took photos, some urging Jin Chen to hurry to the hospital, others loudly scolding Lin Le, asking if he was sick.

Qi Ze naturally also saw this scene, watching Shen Qingci's face turn ashen because Jin Chen was injured, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.

But on the surface, he naturally had to defend his boyfriend.

But before he could speak, Shen Qingci picked up the fish noodles he had just gotten and overturned the whole bowl onto Lin Le's head.

The cafeteria fell silent for a few seconds.

Jin Chen also widened his eyes in slight surprise; although he had also wanted to do that, his wife looked exceptionally cool doing it!

Lin Le screamed instantly, his face burning with pain, unable to open his eyes.

He tried to push Shen Qingci away, but Jin Chen kicked him aside with a foot.

"Get lost, it's filthy."

Qi Ze shouted sternly, "How could you do this!"

But although he was angry, he didn't feel like helping Lin Le up; just seeing him covered in filth and hearing his hysterical screams made him a bit nauseous.

In the end, a female student couldn't bear to watch, helped Lin Le up, and gave him some tissues.

Jin Chen shielded Shen Qingci behind him and confronted Qi Ze.

"You should be glad it wasn't the upperclassman who got hurt; otherwise he definitely wouldn't have ended up with just this."

Having said that, he took Shen Qingci's hand and left the cafeteria.

Qi Ze still wanted to intervene, but Jin Chen bumped his shoulder aside; recalling the punch he had previously given him, he dared not stop any further.

Having lost face in public, he turned away angrily, watching Lin Le continually weep, feeling extremely vexed inside.

——

School infirmary.

The school doctor cut open the clothes stuck to Jin Chen's skin, cleaned the wound, and applied burn ointment.

【Host, you clearly could have dodged it, why did you let yourself get hurt?】

Jin Chen shifted his position lying down, trying to avoid touching his shoulder.

【Because I'm a schemer.】

【……Okay, do you need the space medicine? Okay, hurry up.】

【No need, it's not serious.】

Jin Chen looked at the doctor who was instructing Shen Qingci.

"It's not too serious; remember to change the dressing promptly and avoid sun exposure."

He took out two ointments and cotton swabs, handed them to Shen Qingci, and also prescribed some oral medicine to prevent inflammation.

"After finishing this bottle of penicillin, you can leave; remember to take your medicine on schedule and come back for a check-up in a week."

Shen Qingci took it and said, "Thank you, teacher."

The school doctor gave a few more instructions, then left the rest room.

Seeing Shen Qingci's poor complexion, Jin Chen pursed his lips.

"The senior is so scary, I'm scared."
