The blond heard this and almost slid off the stool in shock.
“No… there’s no need… right?” The blond’s heart was shaking. Jian Ai had become a demon in his heart.
Jian Ai rolled her eyes and thought, “This man is so timid but he dared to rush up to protect me just now?”
But because of this, Jian Ai would not abandon him.
“Don’t waste time. Just follow me.” Jian Ai was too lazy to talk nonsense. She reached out and pulled the blond’s clothes. They got in a taxi by the road.
On the way, Jian Ai learned that the blond’s name was Chen Jin. He was from Xihua Town in Baiyun City. He was still underage and was only seventeen years old.
To work and earn money at such a young age, his family background was quite similar to her own, which surprised Jian Ai.
Chen Jin’s father had passed away early, and he had a fourteen-year-old sister at home. His mother had raised the siblings alone.
Because of the financial pressure, the family could only provide for one child to study. Chen Jin admitted that he was not cut out for studying, so he allowed his sister, who had good results, to study. While he came to Baiyun City alone to work and earn money to subsidize the family.
At this time, his sister was at a high school in Xihua Town. Like Jian Ai, she was in Year One.
Because of her grudge with Liu Yong, he would not be able to keep his job at Starlight Bar, so Jian Ai wanted to find another job for him. However, Jian Ai had not thought of what he could do.
Now that her mother was in the hospital, her brother had brought over toiletries and clothes to accompany her all day long. She was the only one at home. Therefore, Jian Ai brought Chen Jin home to stay for the time being and he could stay in her brother’s room.
Since he dared to rush out at that moment to protect her, Jian Ai knew that he was not someone with ill intentions and was relieved.
At this moment, let alone harboring ill intentions, even Chen Jin felt great pressure when he approached Jian Ai.
When they reached home, Jian Ai brought Chen Jin to Jian Yu’s room. “This is my brother’s room. He won’t be coming back for a while. You can stay here. I’ll get someone to arrange work for you. Don’t worry.”
“You have to knock on the door to enter my room. Remember to lock the door when you go to the bathroom. Remember to open the toilet bowl lid when you’re urinating. I’ll buy toiletries for you at the stall tomorrow morning. As for changing your clothes, you can go out to shop tomorrow if you have nothing to do. I’ll fork out the money.”
“And…” Jian Ai said, her gaze falling on Chen Jin’s head. “I’ll give you a suggestion to dye your hair back. Don’t force it. It’s just a suggestion.”
Chen Jin opened his mouth to say something, but Jian Ai closed the door. Her voice came from outside the door. “Good night!”
Looking at the tightly shut door, Chen Jin didn’t know what to do.
Jian Yu’s room was clean and tidy. It was many times better than the dormitory that the bar provided. When he thought about his relationship with Jian Yu at the bar, he felt relieved and sat down on Jian Yu’s bed.
The next day, Jian Ai was woken up by the soreness in her right arm.
She must have used too much strength last night. She didn’t feel it at that time, but after a night, her entire arm went numb.
Although the mental cultivation techniques had taught her martial arts, her current physical fitness was unable to withstand too vigorous exercises. She had to strengthen herself.
She rubbed her sore arms and went out of the room, only to see that breakfast had been laid out on the table in the living room.
Beside the dining table stood a helpless Chen Jin.
The two of them looked at each other and blinked. Seeing this, Chen Jin hurriedly said, “Ah… I made you breakfast.”
