She could not ask this question, because later on, Jing Rong explained the answer to her through actions.
Her major required drawing design drawings, so Dong Ci spent a lot of time in Jingrong's study, and sometimes used his computer to look up information. Most of the time, Jingrong is not there.
When she needed to use the computer that day, Jing Rong happened to be smoking in the study. Seeing Dong Ci approaching, he put out his cigarette and stared at her.
"Um, I want to use the computer." Unable to stand his aggressive gaze, Dong Ci couldn't help but look away.
Jing Rong curled her lips and smiled, and said slowly. "sure."
After receiving his permission, Dong Ci quickly sat down behind his desk and logged into his contact account on his computer, preparing to receive documents sent from the class group.
Just then, a verification message came from a friend. She clicked OK without looking carefully. She remembered that her drawing notebook was still in the living room downstairs, so she got up and went down to get the notebook.
During this period, although Jing Rong did not approach the desk, he was always in the study.
When Dong Ci approached the study again with his drawing book, he didn't see the scene by the window at first glance. He thought he had gone out, but when he turned around, he found him sitting behind the desk.
"you… "
There was only one chair here, and Dong Ci had no place to sit if Jingrong didn't leave. Just when she was hesitating whether to go out with her things, Jingrong hooked her waist and made her sit on him. body.
"It turns out my Xiaoci is so popular."
At first Dong Ci didn't understand what he meant until she saw a chat dialog box appearing on the computer screen.
'Hi, little beauty, I am the boy sitting next to you in class today. I also borrowed a pen from you. Do you still remember me? '
'Well, my name is Wang Tao. I've actually been following you for a long time. I heard that you don't have a boyfriend yet. Do you want to consider me? '
Dong Ci was stunned. Before he could react, the computer beeped again. Dong Ci clicked on the message sent by a female classmate in the class. It read: A senior in our club is interested in you and wants me to give you something. Can you give me your contact information? '
'His name is Chen Zeming, and he is the vice chairman of the student union of the college. You should also know. '
A low laugh came from behind him, Jing Rong put his chin on her shoulder, stared at the computer screen with slightly narrowed eyes, and asked softly. "Which one does Xiaoci like?"
"I, I don't like them, and I have no impression of them."
"oh-"
Jing Rong's voice was calm and he put his arm around her waist and asked. "Didn't Xiaoci tell them that you already have a man?"
“…”
Dong Ci just wanted to receive the project documents sent from the class group, but who knew that Jing Rong would see such a dramatic scene. Fortunately, he didn't embarrass her too much, which made Dong Ci breathe a sigh of relief.
You know, in fact, in school, she has rejected several people who confessed to her in person.
“…”
Dong Ci is usually driven to and from school by a driver. She usually parks the car at the intersection next to the school. However, whenever Jing Rong comes to see her off in person, he always parks the car at the school gate.
Jing Rong had many cars. Dong Ci didn't recognize the signs on the cars, but looking at the models and the reactions of the students around him every time he got out of the car, he could guess what kind of luxury car it was.
There are still many rumors about her, and they have even become more and more excessive. Dong Ci inadvertently caught a glimpse of the looks on the faces of the surrounding students looking at her, and couldn't help but frown. She was still feeling very uncomfortable.
Thinking of her old high school days, sometimes she really envied Yan Ningshuang. Her reputation in high school was so bad, yet she was still so flamboyant every day, even if she was alone, she always exuded a confident temperament.
She doesn't care about any rumors, and she never even lets the outside world affect her pace.
Dong Ci also tried to learn Yan Ningshuang's way of living, but she failed.
During class, Dong Ci's cell phone kept getting calls, but luckily it was on silent mode, so it didn't have much of an impact. She was about to hang up, but found that it was a very familiar number.
'Shi Ze… '
After that goodbye, they never saw each other again.
Dong Ci stared at the name on the phone in a daze, a flash of struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally hung up.
"Dong Ci!"
After class, she didn't expect Toki Ze to appear at the door of the classroom. However, he has obviously been waiting here for a long time, and the coldness between his eyebrows is strong.
"Aren't you going to explain something to me?"
There were many students in the corridor at this time, and the two standing here were particularly eye-catching. Dong Ci did not want to arouse malicious speculation among these people, so she pulled him to a remote corner.
"After I came back, I went to your house to look for you. As a result, your neighbor told me that your mother owed loan sharks and was taken away. And you haven't come back for a long time. I called you many times, but you didn't answer. Once it happens, it’s like it suddenly disappears.”
"sorry."
Tokize ignored him and continued, "You never told me that you were admitted to F University. After I started school, I inquired about this school many times before I was sure that you were indeed here. However, I heard a lot about you. Bad rumors.”
"sorry."
Dong Ci lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at him. It seemed that this was all she could say.
"You can't say anything else except sorry?"
"Did I go through all the trouble to get here just to hear you say I'm sorry?"
Shi Ze has a cold temper, but he has never said a harsh word to Dong Ci since he was a child. At this time, he stared at her coldly and spoke word by word. "Dong Ci, I want your explanation."
explain
What could she explain
Not daring to meet his cold gaze, Dong Ci could only look out the window. She took a deep breath and said with a wry smile. "Shi Ze, do you think I have no money and power? My mother owes loan sharks and is sick. Why do I stand here and go to college?"
Shize's face turned pale and he was stunned for a moment, then he said slowly. "Someone told me that you were kept/raised by someone. Some people even took photos of you getting out of different luxury cars. They said that you have been visiting certain entertainment venues for a long time, and they also said that you are a female member."
Have the rumors gone too far
Dong Ci asked him with a mocking smile. "Do you believe it?"
"I do not believe."
Shi Ze answered quickly. He took a few steps forward and looked at Dong Ci. "But I want an explanation that will make me more determined."
"But I have nothing to explain."
After exchanging a few words with Shi Ze, she actually felt so tired. She closed her eyes slightly and spoke slowly. "The photos are real. I do often get out of different luxury cars, and I do often visit certain entertainment venues."
The car belonged to Jingrong, and Jingrong took her to those places when she was bored. She can admit all of these, but she doesn't admit the rest, but she can't explain them either.
"Whose is the luxury car, and who took you to those places? Xiaoci, what kind of life are you living now?"
The series of questions made Dong Ci unable to breathe. Before she could think of a way to explain, Shi Ze came over and held her shoulders, he said. "Xiao Ci, do you still remember what I said to you before?"
"If you wait for me for a few years, I can protect you and Aunt Song."
'Xiao Ci, believe me, I will definitely be able to protect you and Aunt Song from now on. '
Of course Dong Ci remembered what he said, and she even clearly remembered the look on his face at that time. She also wanted to wait, but this future was too far away. No one gave her a chance to wait, and she... couldn't afford to wait.
In just a blink of an eye, Shi Ze was already very close to her. His lips lightly touched Dong Ci's lips, which made her tremble all over and she quickly reached out to push him away.
"what are you doing!"
She was frightened. The force used just now was so fierce that she was pushed back several steps. Unexpectedly, she was knocked into the arms of the person behind her. Dong Ci looked up and saw Jing Jing Rong's cold eyes.
"You really gave me a big surprise."
Jing Rong's arms hugged her waist vigorously, and he stretched out his other hand to rub her lips harshly with his thumb, as if he wanted to take off a layer of her skin.
"Well."
Dong Ci grabbed his arm with some pain. As soon as he struggled, Jing Rong strangled him hard and he scolded him coldly. "Don't move!"
He was really angry, and his whole body was full of messy anger. Dong Ci was so frightened that he trembled slightly.
"Who are you? Let her go!"
Shi Ze always felt that he had seen the man in front of him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember exactly where he had seen him. Seeing him treating Dong Ci so roughly, he stepped forward and took her hand, trying to pull her back to him.
"Let her go!"
Jing Rong stared fiercely at Dong Ci's hand that was held by him, with a storm in his eyes.
This is his person, and he doesn't allow anyone to touch her!
"You are the one who should let her go!"
When Shi Ze saw Dong Ci's eyes turning red, he thought she was scared, so he pulled her back and spoke softly. "Xiao Ci, come to me!"
Dong Ci shook his head. She could clearly feel Jing Rong's anger. She was afraid that he would do something bad to deal with Shi Ze, so she didn't dare to walk over.
"Xiao Ci, your beloved brother is calling you over."
As if all the dangerous aura had been hidden, Jing Rong suddenly loosened his hold on Dong Ci. He hugged her with a smile, actually intending to let her pass.
"I, I won't go, I won't go."
Even though Jing Rong was smiling at the moment, the coldness in his eyes was undisguised. Dong Ci naturally understood his temperament after being with him for so long. She knew that her past would bring disaster to both her and Toki Ze!
"Jingrong—"
Dong Ci hurriedly threw Shi Ze's hand away, approached him and hugged his waist, and said tremblingly. "Let's go, let's go now, okay?"
Jing Rong's fingertips slowly traced Dong Ci's cheek. He let her hug him without returning the hug. He looked at Shi Ze who was frozen in place with a half-smile and said softly. "But if Xiaoci can't go there, can you bear to make your beloved brother so sad?"
"Be good, come over quickly." As he said that, he actually started to push her.
"don't want."
Dong Ci didn't dare to look at Shi Ze's expression at this time. She buried her face in Jing Rong's arms, hugged his waist tightly, and said with a cry. "I just want you, I just want to be with you."
"You are so disobedient, you are really spoiled by me." The last sentence, which was slightly reprimanding, was deliberately said to Shi Ze.
Jing Rong stroked the hair of the little girl in his arms like a winner, and stared at Shi Ze as he spoke slowly. "What should I do? Xiaoci doesn't seem to want to find you."
It was clearly a provocative sentence, but he could actually pretend to be so helpless.
"who are you?"
Shi Ze's voice was a little hoarse. Even after witnessing all this, he refused to believe that the girl he grew up with would become like this. He stared at Dong Ci's back closely, as if thinking See through her.
"Who am I?"
Jing Rong covered his gaze without any trace, picked up Dong Ci and leaned over to kiss Shi Ze in front of him.
"I am the man you talk about who gave her a place to stay and took her to various entertainment venues in luxury cars."
