Jiao Chen had the ability to fight back, but he always restrained himself .
She couldn’t understand him at all .
Jiao Chen smiled gently . “If someone will bear the consequences for you forever, you can then do whatever you want . ”
‘If someone will bear the consequences for him forever, he certainly would do whatever he liked or wanted . ’
But Su Yue still couldn’t understand and so she pursed her lips . “I still can’t understand your logic . ”
Why does someone have to bear the consequences? What consequences?
She stuffed her hands into her jacket and bent her head . She kicked the leaves, looking frustrated as a frown appeared on her face .
Jiao Chen gazed at her as he pressed his lips . He spoke gently . “It’s fine . ”
A girl like her… what kind of mistake or blunder would she make that was unforgivable?
On the other hand… merely raising his voice at her seemed wrong .
“Are you going back to your dormitory?”
They strolled silently towards Jiao Chen’s dormitory . Su Yue suddenly raised her head and asked Jiao Chen .
Jiao Chen grunted in response .
The blood on the corners of his mouth had dried up . The bruises on his face were becoming more obvious, although it didn’t affect his appearance .
“Oh,” Su Yue answered and remained silent . Her footsteps trailed after Jiao Chen as she continued walking absentmindedly .
Jiao Chen opened his mouth several times to say something, but no words came out .
Finally, they reached a crossroads where they needed to split up . Jiao Chen stopped and glanced at Su Yue . “Do you want to take a look at our dormitory?” asked Jiao Chen .
Su Yue blinked her eyes and asked, “Can I?”
“I think…” Jiao Chen paused and hesitated before nodding . “It’s alright . ”
He sounded certain .
“But the girls’ dormitory is out of bounds to guys . ” Su Yue raised her eyebrows in doubt .
She wanted to say that likewise, girls might be forbidden to enter the guys’ dormitory .
Jiao Chen knew what she was saying and joked, “That’s why the guys are always on the losing end . ”
“Errr…” This was the first time Jiao Chen had joked with her .
It was afternoon and the weather was perfect .
They stood at the crossroad and a breeze rustled the girl’s hair . The guy stretched his hand to tuck her hair behind her ears .
This scene would have stirred the hearts of everyone who witnessed it .
Every girl would have dreamt of having a handsome and gentle prince charming as her boyfriend .
And which guy wouldn’t have dreamt of having a beautiful and lovely princess as his girlfriend?
This princess and prince combination was too perfect . It was unbelievable that it had happened in real life .
But people also forgot about the fact that someone created that fairytales .
“I think I better not go . Can you go get changed and eat dinner with my Third Brother and Third sister-in-law tonight?”
Su Yue deliberated over his suggestion and concluded that going to the guys’ dormitory wasn’t a good idea . She couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason but she didn’t feel really comfortable with the idea .
Jiao Chen smiled and asked, “Do you seriously reckon I can go for dinner looking like this?”
“Erm…” Su Yue was at a loss of words momentarily before she realized that Jiao Chen was referring to his bruises . “What’s wrong with this? My third brother and third sister-in-law wouldn’t despise you . ”
Obviously, he didn’t mean that he was afraid that they would despise him .
“Perhaps next time . ” Jiao Chen softly suggested, “I’ll eat with them next time, all right?”
Su Yue nodded slowly as she pressed her lips . “Alright then . ”
Jiao Chen broke into a smile and said, “Go and look for them . ”
“Okay . ” Su Yue nodded and glanced at Jiao Chen’s wounds . “Remember to use a hot towel to put on your bruises to reduce the swelling . ”
