My Crush Also Has a Crush on Me!-Chapter 211: Jin Cangcang and Verdant Green Extra 5

Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Jin Cangcang and Verdant Green Extra 5

"This time it was my mom who forced me to come over. After the New Year’s over, I’ll go out to work, and when they ask again, I’ll just say that we spent some time together but found out we weren’t compatible."

Jin Can nods, "Mhm."

She was of a mild temperament and didn’t talk much.

Du Chengjun looked back and smiled at Jin Can, "Today there were two following us."

Jin Can said, "One of them is my younger brother."

Du Chengjun teased, "And the other one..."

"Just ignore him."

"He’s pursuing you."

Jin Can remained silent.

"Has he been pursuing you for a long time?"

Jin Can turned her head to look at him, "How could you tell?"

"You sound different when you mention him."

"Really?" Jin Can frowned, "Maybe it’s a tone of annoyance then."

Du Chengjun raised his eyebrows, smiling, "See, your tone is different now, hard to explain, it’s somewhat petulant, like a little couple bickering."

Jin Can furrowed her brows deeper.

"Alright, I’m just really curious, wanted to gossip a bit about your relationship."

"There’s nothing going on."

The two wobbled about without seeming to find anything good to chat about until evening, and the other person didn’t leave until after dinner.

Jin Can even saw him out, watching the two wave goodbye, Fu Yan subtly pressed his tongue against his back teeth, his smile self-deprecating.

Wang Xinyu put his arm around his shoulder, patting it, "Brother Yan, I think you should give up, my sister could really make it work with him."

"It’s not going to happen."

Fu Yan stood up and followed Jin Can.

She waved goodbye to Du Chengjun, watching his car drive away before turning back.

At that time, there were a group of young boys playing a snowball fight on the street, running around carelessly without watching the road.

One of the boys, out of irritation from being hit by a snowball, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it.

Fu Yan frowned, quickly took two steps in one, and shielded Jin Can from the stone that was heading her way.

Jin Can was stunned, only realizing what happened a second later, and as she looked up at him, he was gazing down at her. She felt her heart skip a beat and averted her eyes subtly, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

"Then let go of my hand."

Fu Yan released her, then rubbed his temple.

The kids were still making noise, and Jin Can frowned as she started toward them, intending to confront the boy who threw the stone.

Fu Yan found her reaction cute and laughed as he held her back, "Let it be, it’s just a kid."

"That boy is very naughty, always causing trouble, either hitting someone’s dog or bullying other people’s cats."

"What do you want to do?"

Jin Can hesitated for a moment, then looked up at him.

"Beat him up?" Fu Yan laughed, "And then have him cry and get his parents involved, causing a scene, it would be trouble for your uncle."

"You’re almost in your thirties, picking a fight with a teenager, no matter who’s right or wrong, in the end, it will look bad on you."

Jin Can looked up at him, he was much more stable now, and spoke thoughtfully about the consequences.

He really had changed a lot compared to three or four years ago.

"Let’s go."

The two rarely got along this peacefully, walking side by side through the town under the hazy night, the cold breeze brushing by, their hands accidentally touching, Fu Yan took the opportunity to hold on.

Jin Can frowned and withdrew her hand.

Fu Yan smirked and grabbed it again.

"Fu Yan..."

"I’m here."

Jin Can: "Let go of my hand."

Fu Yan: "I won’t, unless you can break free."

Jin Can struggled several times, to no avail.

With people coming and going in the town, Jin Can lowered her head and hid their hands behind her back.

"Are you still shy?"

Jin Can glared at him.

Fu Yan’s lips curved with joy, slowly rising, his heart brightened.

Outside, she shielded herself like a little hedgehog; indifferent and proud, only when she returned home would she shed her disguise.

As she reached Uncle Jin’s doorstep, Fu Yan tightly gripped Jin Can’s hand without letting go.

"Let go," Jin Can couldn’t shake off his hand, worried that her family would see, her voice softened in urgency, "Fu Yan, let go."

"Just a little longer."

Fu Yan’s thumb gently caressed her hand, meticulously touching.

"Are you being a hooligan?"

"Uh-huh."

"..." Jin Can, "Let go."

"Cancan ah..."

Suddenly, Uncle Wang came out, Fu Yan’s fingers loosened, and Jin Can immediately withdrew her hand.

Uncle Wang raised an eyebrow at them and gave a meaningful chuckle.

Jin Can hung her head; her hair was long and slightly curly, lifting lightly as she ran into the house.

Uncle Wang clenched his fist, cheering for Fu Yan: "Hang in there!"

Fu Yan nodded with a smile.

At dinner, with her head down, Jin Can suddenly recalled the moment Fu Yan dashed out to block the stone for her, gripping her chopsticks tightly.

"Just now, I saw Yan’s head was bleeding," Aunt Wang said casually, naturally, "I invited him over for dinner, but he wouldn’t come."

Uncle Wang raised his eyebrow, sipped his drink, and smiled without saying a word.

Wang Xinyu chimed in: "It was all because of my sister. He heroically shielded her from a stone thrown by a reckless child."

"Really?"

"Indeed, I saw it, Brother Yan took a big step towards my sister, shielding her in his arms, holding her tightly—it was something."

Jin Can scowled, and under the table, she stomped hard on Wang Xinyu’s foot.

"Then we really should thank him properly."

After the meal, Jin Can was pushed outside, her hands filled with a roll of gauze and iodine.

"Aunt..."

Jin Can took a few steps forward but was stopped by Aunt Wang: "Go on, deliver it to him."

Hesitating, Jin Can clenched the medicine in her hand and walked towards the building that was lit up.

Fu Yan took some clean clothes from the car, after the shower, just as he was removing his towel in the room, Jin Can walked in without noticing the door was open, then immediately withdrew, turned around, and waited for him to dress.

Fu Yan turned back to look at her, a smile curling up at the corner of his lips.

"All set."

Jin Can gave him a glance: "I brought medicine."

"Uh-huh."

Jin Can pursed her lips, slightly uneasy: "Thanks for earlier."

"No need."

Jin Can: "Then, I’ll be going back now."

Fu Yan raised an eyebrow: "Aren’t you going to apply the medicine?"

"Can’t you do it yourself?"

"How can I see?"

Jin Can opened the cotton swab, soaked it in iodine, and began to disinfect him. He was tall, standing rigidly straight on purpose, making Jin Can’s arms sore: "Can you bend down a little, lower?"

Fu Yan slightly curved his lips, leaning closer.

His sudden approach startled Jin Can, and she stepped back.

Fu Yan frowned, reaching out to wrap his arm around her waist.

"Why are you avoiding, I’m not kissing you."

Jin Can’s heart skipped, a strange feeling suddenly spreading inside her.

She pretended to be calm, slowly dabbing at the wound on his forehead.

Fu Yan stared straight at her, making her uncomfortable: "Close your eyes."

"What if I don’t?"

Jin Can bit her lip and ignored him.

"Jin Can..." Fu Yan called her.

"It’s done."

"..." Fu Yan watched her, smiled, "Well, good night."

"Good night." Jin Can glanced at him briefly as she left.

Suddenly, she found that after that night, he seemed different.

He wasn’t as reckless anymore...
