Chapter 789: The Shepherd's First Love (Campus) (36)

but as soon as she thought about getting up and speaking, her hand was suddenly grasped by the man beside her.She turned her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression, "What" she asked in a hushe...Jun Zhi's shepherd glanced out the car window casually, but his face changed drastically, "Stop!" he shouted almost instinctively.

"What's wrong"

Lu Qinan, who was driving, was startled and gripped the steering wheel tightly. The car swerved sharply, followed by a screeching brake sound, before the eye-catching bright blue Porsche finally came to a stop.

A group of disgruntled people surrounding the scene shouted and cursed, "He's crazy! Does he even know how to drive!"

"What did you see"

After the people who were cursing outside the car dispersed, Pei Haoran turned his head to ask Jun Zhimu in the back seat.

Jun Zhi Mu's personality has always been as steady as water, he suddenly shouted in a hurry, it's no wonder Lu Qi Nan was flustered.

"Zhi Mu ah, what happened" Lu Qin Nan in the driver's seat looked anxious and turned his head.

Only to see Jun Zhimu's face was strange, looking at the bustling crowd at the entrance of the cinema across the street from the car window, many young couples. Lu Qinian and Pei Haoran also followed the direction and didn't find anything unusual.

Junzhi Mu noticed his previous lapse in composure, retracted his gaze, and said with a complex tone, "It's nothing."

"Should I drive now"

Lu Qinnan cautiously inquired, his eyes gleaming as he looked toward the cinema, only to be disappointed at finding no clues.

Pei Haoran noticed that Jun Zhimu was tightly clutching a golden pocket watch in his left hand. He wondered about the origin of this watch and had never seen him fidget with such a small trinket before.

Went to a bar, with loud music and dancing, the screams were deafening.

They purposely chose a booth next to the central dance floor. The young people on stage, twisting and turning in the flickering lights, seemed a world away from the three of them, who stood out in their quietude amidst the clamor.

Pei Haoran poured himself a drink with a smirk, surveying the room. Lu Qinan sat quietly, his head bowed over his phone. Jun Zhi牧 held his glass but didn't drink, looking troubled.

Their three high-end outfits and outstanding appearances drew curious glances, but everyone hesitated to approach.

Lu Qinan was holding a phone, engrossed in attending to the new girl he had just met.

Pei Haoran deliberately kicked him, looking at his clueless expression.

Still in the honeymoon phase, this heat hasn't worn off yet. Lu Qinian excitedly showed his phone screen to his brother, bragging.

"This new girl I met is really pure."

"Too much fish and meat, it's time to switch to congee and light dishes." Pei Haoran teased him.

"Congee is pretty good too, it's good for your stomach."

Lu Qinan was talking with himself, looking quite proud.

"She acts all shy and blushy, it's easy to make her flustered. I find it amusing just watching her. I've been resisting touching her, not even her hand in a month and a half."

"...Yesterday I went to the movies with her. We originally picked a horror film, planning to make a move when the opportunity arose. But she might have had a plan, and instead chose a very dull documentary about archaeology. I thought the documentary was pretty good, but she fell asleep... This was a chance I couldn't miss, so I took advantage and kissed her cheek. She jumped awake, her face flushed red - her reaction was like that of a cute little animal."

Lu Qinan excitedly recounted his achievements.

She blushed and protested, "You're cheating... hahaha. Going to the movies with a significant other is a very official date! It's completely legitimate for me to take advantage."

Jun Zhimu placed the goblet in his hand back on the table. The glass thudded heavily against the surface, abruptly cutting off Lu Qinnan's words. He turned his head to look at Jun Zhimu. Pei Haoran also looked over at him.

"Zhimù, what's wrong with you"

He has been acting strangely today, strictly speaking he has been acting strange ever since he returned to China.

I thought the shepherd would remain silent, but he suddenly said, "… I'm afraid if I do it myself, I might use too much force and take a life."

Lu Qinan and Pei Haoran looked at each other, both of their minds filled with questions.

Fearing he might stumble into a sensitive topic, he wisely stopped asking. The colorful stage lights of the bar illuminated Junzhi牧's face, faintly revealing his gloomy and unpleasant expression at this moment.

What is he thinking

Jun held a finely crafted pocket watch in his left hand, clenching it tightly as he fought to control the turbulent emotions surging within him. His mind raced, conjuring up a thousand strategies for dealing with his rival.

Achoo——

Suddenly, Sima An in the movie theater sneezed loudly, and he still felt a chill down his spine.

"Sister, sister," In the movie theater playing this year's most terrifying horror film, in the dim interior, screams rose and fell. Most of those who came to watch were couples. The female ghost was chasing the female lead, scaring the girls in the cinema to huddle in their boyfriends' arms and tremble and scream.

Si Ma'an was immune to horror films. He wasn't afraid of this at all, thinking that coming over to watch a horror film could help him develop his relationship with Qiao Bao'er further. He wanted to see her frightened side, or maybe even have her act coquettish towards him.

As a result, she remained silent from the moment she entered and didn't eat any popcorn or soda.

"Senior sister."

Sima An turned her head and whispered to him several times, but he still didn't respond. She felt something was wrong.

Their seats were quite far from the screen, and the indoor lighting was dim. Everyone in the cinema, wearing 3D glasses, looked terrified and on edge, as if they had been thoroughly spooked.

Joe Baoer didn't scream, she didn't shiver. Was it because she was brave and not afraid of horror movies

Sima An took off his glasses, the faint light from the screen reflecting in them. He turned his head and burst out laughing.

Qiao Baoer's whole body was tense, sitting rigidly like a Buddha statue. Her little face kept paling and turning pale, as if she had been frightened out of her wits.

She was still uncivilly shoving two wads of white paper into her ears, wearing three pairs of glasses but tightly shut her eyes. Her hands were clenched into fists, looking more anxious than someone giving birth. Sima An saw this scene and almost laughed out loud.

He guessed the beginning, but not the end.

Qiao Bao'er was afraid of horror films, she was so scared that she entered a meditative state to watch a movie. It was as agonizing for her as surviving a tribulation. When the horror film finally ended, she walked out of the cinema with beads of sweat on her temples.

"You're scared, aren't you" Sima An couldn't help but laugh.

Qiao Bao'er's little face was still stiff, she didn't retort, glaring at him defiantly, plainly saying, I'm not afraid of you!

Although Sima An did not engage in further physical contact with her as one would normally expect, he was satisfied by seeing this other side of her and smiled broadly.

However, this also made Sima An understand one thing: Qiao Bao'er was indeed very difficult to conquer. When she was afraid, she wouldn't ask others for help but would choose to endure it herself.

If she were truly bullied or hurt, she definitely wouldn't go to others for comfort or complain. Instead, she would stubbornly lick her wounds in silence.

Is she so strong-willed because she lacked protection in her family growing up

Sima An thought a lot.

He always felt that Qiao Baier's personality, who never knew how to act coquettishly, must have been bullied a lot when she was a child. He felt sorry for her from the bottom of his heart.

Jo Bao'er's mind was much simpler. She was brave, but only feared ghosts and the supernatural. She would be terrified watching a horror film, but she absolutely couldn't bear to waste her movie ticket.d that this morning, a little past 8 o'clock, Lu Qinan and Pei Haoran had come by again. Pei Haoran was even carrying a laptop, looking flustered as if something major had happened.As she strolled, he...
