The villain heroine turned evil again after being saved by him

Chapter 15 Only You Can Help Me

Xi Ruan looked at the young man in front of her, her long eyelashes trembling, and her amber eyes hid thoughts that no one could understand, but one could tell at a glance how broken and helpless she felt at the moment, as if she was still in shock from what had just happened.

She turned to the nanny beside her, indicating that she was going to have dinner with Jiang Lingsi, and walked towards the boy.

The nanny grabbed her wrist and didn't want Xi Ruan to go over.

Jiang Lingsi found it funny, "It's just a meal, how could I eat her in public?"

After saying that, Jiang Lingsi glanced at the nanny coldly, "I will tell the Bai family everything about your performance today."

The nanny felt a chill in her heart and let go of Xi Ruan's hand.

-

Inside the restaurant.

Xi Ruan looked at the young man opposite her who was concentrating on eating, and inexplicably felt much more at ease. All the previous uneasiness and fear disappeared in front of him.

Her eyes swept across his broad shoulders and muscular arms, and then across his connected hands. They were slender and white, with distinct joints. The bulging blue veins on the back of his hands were full of power and surprisingly beautiful.

As if she had been staring for too long, the boy opposite her noticed it. He looked up and glanced at her untouched plate.

"Can't you eat?" Jiang Lingsi held his chin with one hand and said in a light tone.

It kept staring at him and didn't eat. I guess it was scared.

Xi Ruan couldn't help but lower her head when she saw his charming and seductive face.

Picking up the chopsticks, she stared at the dish in front of her for two seconds. She really had no appetite.

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat. Wait until you're hungry."

Jiang Lingsi threw down a few words and lowered his head to eat again. The system in his mind kept reminding him that the task required the two of them to dine together, but he turned a deaf ear to it.

Xi Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, put down her chopsticks, and her eyes were quietly fixed on Jiang Lingsi again.

Her eyelashes drooped slightly, and the dim light of the restaurant shone on her body, making her amber eyes look a little dim.

Xi Ruan felt that she was probably deceived by him.

She shouldn't have let down her guard against him like that.

But he had just saved her, and she even thought he looked more reassuring than her own nanny.

Just like that, Xi Ruan quietly watched Jiang Lingsi finish his meal.

Jiang Lingsi wiped his mouth and drank a few sips of water. Thinking of his mission, he decided to try to save the situation.

"cheers."

He raised his glass towards Xi Ruan and said words that should express happiness, but his facial expression and tone were very cold.

Xi Ruan was stunned by this nonsensical behavior, but still cooperated by raising her glass and clinking it with his.

Seeing him turn his head and drink the remaining tea, Xi Ruan also picked up the cup and took a few sips.

The warm liquid moistened her somewhat dry throat. She put down the cup, hesitated for a long time, typed a line on her mobile phone, and placed it in front of him.

【I want to talk to you. 】

Jiang Lingsi glanced at the screen, leaned back, and the corners of his lips under the brim of his hat curled up slightly.

"Well, tell me."

Look, isn't a pleasant conversation here?

But then, when he saw what Xi Ruan typed, the corners of his lips immediately dropped again.

[I am very grateful that you saved me. I believe you are a good person, so can you let me go? ]

Jiang Lingsi stared at this sentence without saying anything.

Seeing this, Xi Ruan typed another line: [I am very boring. I just want to study hard alone. I don’t know how to fall in love, and I don’t have any interesting reactions for you to talk about.]

Jiang Lingsi pursed his lips, a layer of gloomy mist gradually rolled up in his black eyes. He raised his eyes and stared at the girl opposite him with a somewhat lonely look in her eyes.

What on earth had she been through to have such thoughts?

-

Jiang Lingsi now probably understood why he had helped her but ended up losing intimacy points.

She must have been teased by those fucking bastards.

The facts were indeed similar to what Jiang Lingsi had guessed.

When Xi Ruan was ostracized and bullied by her classmates at school, a boy helped her. Later, when she was repeatedly troubled, he stood up for her, cared about her and protected her. He didn't care even if he was implicated in rumors because of her.

She was very grateful to the boy at that time, and because she didn't know how to repay him, she bought breakfast every day and secretly delivered it to the boy's seat.

Until one morning, she was picked on and didn't have time to deliver breakfast. When the evening study was over, everyone had left. She wanted to deliver some snacks, but just as she walked to the door of the boy's class, she heard him talking with his friends.

"Brother Fang, why didn't the little mute bring you breakfast today? Are you going to fail?"

"Is it possible? The little mute has already fallen head over heels for me. Something must have delayed him today."

"Don't brag. If she's really obsessed with you, why haven't you managed to get her yet? Don't forget the two-month deadline. If you can't succeed, you have to pay us 800 yuan each."

"Tsk, just wait and transfer the money to me, I just think she is really pitiful.

You don’t know, every time she casts a look of gratitude at me, it really makes me feel a little sorry, haha…”

"Oh my, Brother Fang, you should be gentle with women. It doesn't really matter. If you like her, just play with her. If nothing else, it's quite prestigious to take her out with you because of her pretty face."

"Go away, who would really like a mute? It's not enough!"

"Then why don't you arrange some more people to bully her and add fuel to the fire."

……

Xi Ruan didn't listen to the rest of the words.

She threw all the snacks she bought into the trash can, as if all her sincerity had been fed to the dog.

But she still remembers how touched she felt the first time someone stood up for her. At that time, he said to her with concern, "Xi Ruan, are you okay?"

"How can I thank you, you ask?"

"Then you only need to do one thing. Remember, my name is Fang Ruizhe."

……

Xi Ruan knew that she was not that famous in the new school, so when she clearly didn't know Jiang Lingsi, but he was able to call out her name and said something familiar, she became alert.

She thought she had become the target of the young masters' entertainment again, so she wanted to stay away from him.

-

"Xi Ruan." Jiang Lingsi called her, pulling her out of her memories.

Xi Ruan looked over and saw his dark eyes burning, "Do you know who I am?"

Nature knows.

Xi Ruan nodded.

Jiang Lingsi snorted, turned his head away from her, and said in a low voice: "You don't know at all."

Xi Ruan frowned slightly, Jiang Lingsi leaned forward, holding his chin with one hand and continued: "Go ask me about Jiang Lingsi. Although I am not a good student, I am not a jerk enough to play with an innocent girl, and I would never do such a rubbish."

[Then why do you know me? ] Xi Ruan hesitated for a moment before asking her question.

"I have a friend in Class 5. He told me. Don't you know that?"

Xi Ruan thought of Luo Yihao and found this explanation to be very reasonable.

but……

【Why are you here today? 】

Xi Ruan felt that it was too coincidental. She didn't think that the two consecutive incidents were arranged by him, but she felt that he seemed to know where she had gotten into trouble, and his appearance was to help her, as if he was suspiciously following her.

Jiang Lingsi showed no impatience in the face of Xi Ruan's questioning. He glanced at his phone and said calmly, "Check some information."

"I also met my brother. He looked at me and gave me some money to spend. When I was leaving, I happened to see you get into trouble." Jiang Lingsi thought that this was not a lie. It was all true. Anyway, he couldn't tell anyone about the system.

To increase credibility, Jiang Lingsi added, "You can also ask my brother, Shen Jiashu."

Having said that, Jiang Lingsi knew that Xi Ruan would definitely not go to his brother to get to the bottom of the matter.

Moreover, he knew that his brother's image must be very good in Xi Ruan's eyes. If he was involved, his own credibility would probably rise sharply.

Sure enough, Xi Ruan had already believed most of what she heard. Misleading by Jiang Lingsi's words, she thought that the two brothers had made an appointment in the bookstore.

She blinked, remembering that Shen Jiashu had told her that he had something going on at home before he left. Now it seemed that he was referring to Jiang Lingsi?

She lowered her eyes thoughtfully.

In fact, when she asked these questions, it meant that she wanted to believe him, but there was still a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't get over.

【Why did you ask me to remember you when we first met? 】

Jiang Lingsi was stunned for a moment, and the brim of his hat lowered, hiding his expression.

After a moment's silence, he raised his head, his thick black eyelashes slowly drew an arc, revealing his inky pupils.

"There's something... maybe only you can help me."

"?" Xi Ruan looked puzzled.

Jiang Lingsi took a long breath and tapped the screen of his mobile phone. "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's add WeChat."
