Chapter 669 Dawn (75)
"Zhenzhen."
Yan Zhen heard Jing Chen's voice from behind. She quickly turned around and found that Jing Chen had gotten out of the car at some point and was already behind her.
He was taking off the clasp of his watch—
Upon seeing his action, Yan Zhen felt a sense of crisis.
This is the prelude to Jing Chen's impending beating.
She quickly turned around to stop Jing Chen: "Brother, I've already taken care of it..."
Jing Chen pressed down on her shoulder, addressing her directly, but his eyes were fixed sharply on Fang Jing.
"Is it him? He doesn't like you but is keeping you hanging on."
Fang Jing was just a junior in college after all. When Jing Chen, who exuded an aura of authority, stared at him, he immediately took two steps back guiltily.
“It’s him, but…”
"It'll be fine as long as it's him."
Jing Chen placed the watch he had taken off into Yan Zhen's hand, then strode forward, grabbed Fang Jing by the collar, and punched him in the face.
Fang Jing tried to dodge but failed and took the punch squarely, letting out a scream.
Jing Chen had no intention of letting him off so easily. While beating him, he said coldly, "Who do you think you are, daring to treat my sister like this!"
"You don't like my sister? Are you blind?!"
"It's an honor that my sister has taken a liking to you, so why don't you like her!"
Yan Zhen, who was watching from the sidelines, initially felt great, but the more he listened to Jing Chen's words, the more he felt something was wrong.
She quickly realized that Jingchen had misunderstood and thought that Fang Jing had let her down.
"Brother, actually..."
Just as Yan Zhen was about to explain, Jing stopped.
He carried Fang Jing, who was beaten and had a bloody nose, like a little chick to Yan Zhen and kicked him in the knee: "Speak!"
Fang Jing was both shocked and frightened, his voice trembling as he said, "What are you saying, brother..."
"Tell me you like my sister! You want to date her!"
Fang Jing looked at Zhou Panpan tremblingly: "I..."
Jing Chen slapped Fang Jing on the head: "Where are you looking! My sister is right here!"
Fang Jing: "..."
He looked at Zhou Panpan, then at Yan Zhen, his expression showing a mix of confusion and grievance.
Yan Zhen's expression was indescribable: "Brother, I don't like him..."
"It's okay." Jing Chen acted as if he was about to snatch Yan Zhen's toy away. "Even if you don't like it, you can still date for fun. Consider it practice to gain more dating experience for you."
"..." Fang Jing trembled.
“No, brother,” Yan Zhen said, “the one who likes Fang Jing is Panpan, not me. I’m standing up for Panpan today.”
Jing Chen: "..."
He was silent for a few seconds, then released Fang Jing's hand and kicked him away.
"I didn't tell you earlier."
Fang Jing: "..."
Jing Chen called to Yan Zhen, "Now that things are resolved, let's go."
After he finished speaking, he wiped his hands with a wet tissue and walked towards the parking lot.
Yan Zhen looked at his back and felt that something was wrong.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Panpan, Yan Zhen got into the car.
Sitting in the back row with Jing Chen, Yan Zhen frowned more and more as he recalled the scene of Jing Chen beating up Fang Jing and the things he said.
When Jing Chen was in the Quick Transmigration Division, he was so possessive that he would get jealous even when she talked to other people. Now, he not only doesn't get angry or mind that she seems to like someone else, but he also pushes other men towards her, saying that he wants to give her "practice to increase her dating experience". Is this right?
Is it because Jing Chen has come to regard her as a younger sister from the bottom of his heart after spending thirteen years with her, or has he stopped liking her?
Thinking about it this way, Yan Zhen suddenly remembered many details that he didn't usually notice in his daily life.
For example, Jingchen stopped carrying her on his back and in his arms after she turned ten.
At first, she thought that Jingchen was cultivating her awareness of the difference between boys and girls as a girl, but now that she thinks about it carefully, it seems that Jingchen is intentionally reducing physical contact with her.
He treated her as well as always, providing her with food, lodging, and plenty of money. No matter what trouble she encountered, he would solve it for her without complaint. Regardless of whether she was in the right or not, he would unconditionally stand by her side. Apart from work, he would spend his time either riding horses with her or washing his hands and cooking for her at home.
But he truly no longer harbored romantic feelings for her; there wasn't even the slightest hint of ambiguity.
She didn't have it when she was little, and she still doesn't have it now that she's grown up.
Jingchen's every move towards her was exactly like that of an overly doting older brother.
But is this right?
Jing Chen came into this world for her sake.
Yan Zhen was completely baffled when he suddenly received a flick on the forehead.
"What are you thinking about?" Jing Chen asked. "Your brows are so furrowed they could trap a mosquito."
"I was thinking about Panpan." Yan Zhen made up an excuse casually. "She's too easy to fool. To prevent her from encountering scum like Fang Jing again in the future, I need to think of a way to cultivate her awareness of fraud prevention."
Jing Chen said, "That's a good idea. Although you're protecting her, you're not by her side 24/7. Being strong yourself is the most important thing."
"That's what I'm thinking." Yan Zhen brought up the topic, then moved closer to Jing Chen and tentatively asked, "Brother, if I found a boyfriend like Fang Jing, would you be angry?"
"No, whatever you like." Jing Chen thought for a moment and said, "I only have one request: take precautions before graduation, don't let pregnancy affect your studies, and don't get pregnant out of wedlock."
Yan Zhen: "..."
She suddenly couldn't understand Jing Chen anymore.
He seemed genuinely unconcerned about her possibly dating other people or having intimate relationships with other men.
Not only did they not mind, they also supported it.
What on earth was he thinking?
This problem has troubled Yan Zhen all the way.
Back in the neighborhood, as the car entered, it was stopped by a kind-looking old lady.
“Zhenzhen, Xiaochen.”
The old lady's surname is Ye. Her son is a nouveau riche who caught the wave of the times. After making his fortune, he bought a four-story villa worth two small fortunes in this prime real estate neighborhood.
Yan Zhen and Jing Chen moved into this affluent neighborhood two years ago, and the first neighbor they met was Old Mrs. Ye.
Yan Zhen rolled down the car window and asked, "Grandma Ye, what's wrong?"
“My son went up the mountain and dug up a lot of bamboo shoots. They’re so fresh. Come on, let’s go to my house. I’ll get you some.”
At Grandma Ye's warm invitation, Yan Zhen and Jing Chen got out of the car and walked to the Ye family's house across the lake.
After carrying four or five large bamboo shoots from the Ye family's house, Grandma Ye saw the two off and casually remarked, "Bamboo shoots are best for making pickled bamboo shoot soup this season... Does Xiao Chen know how to make pickled bamboo shoot soup?"
Jing Chen smiled and said, "Yes."
"I guessed you would. There aren't many men as hardworking as you. I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry you in the future... By the way, Xiao Chen, you're not getting any younger. Do you have a boyfriend yet?"
Yan Zhen paused for a moment.
"No, I'm too busy with work to date," Jing Chen said.
"You have to be busy with your career, but you can't neglect settling down. Let me introduce you to someone," Grandma Ye said with a smile. "She's my daughter-in-law's niece. She's a PhD student, tall and beautiful, with a good temper, and about your age. I'll give you her phone number. You can add her on WeChat and chat. If you get along well, you can arrange to have a meal together. How about that?"
“Okay,” Jingchen agreed. “Thank you, Grandma.”
