Ning Jing and Ning Chen arrived at the lounge door.
Ning Chen wanted to follow, but Ning Jing lowered her head, as if she hadn't seen Ning Chen. She held the doorknob with both hands and was about to shut Ning Chen out.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ning Jing's strength compared to Ning Chen was like a soft hair touching a hard elephant leg; there was no comparison.
Ning Chen easily resisted Ning Jing's force, but his tone and body language showed his master's helplessness.
"I'm fine, I want to be quiet for a while." Ning Jing buried her head even lower, her tears about to fall uncontrollably.
Ning Chen was startled and slowly released his hand that was on the door.
This time, she didn't call him Brother Ning Chen.
Ning Jing didn't look up. The moment the door was closed, her tears fell along with it.
Then, Ning Jing walked hastily towards the sofa, picked up the pillow on it, and tears flowed uncontrollably, like a continuous downpour of rain, yet silent.
Ning Jing walked very quickly, but Ning Chen still acutely caught a few sobs.
"You brat, what's going on?" Ning's mother, who saw this scene from not far away, walked up to Ning Chen angrily and raised her hand to slap him.
Seeing that Ning Chen didn't dodge, Ning's mother sighed and almost withdrew the hand that was about to hit Ning Chen's face.
"What's going on?" Ning's mother pushed Ning Chen's shoulder, but Ning Chen didn't budge.
"Is it because of that young man just now?" Ning's mother saw her son's dazed look and was unhappy. She grabbed Ning Chen's arm and twisted it.
Ning Chen frowned at this. Recalling the scene just now, he felt that Ning Jing's mood had indeed changed because he mentioned that young man.
"Mmm, Jing Jing isn't the type to be easily bullied. Did Jing Jing confess to that young man, and he rejected her?" Ning's mother muttered to herself.
Hearing Ning's mother say this, Ning Chen's face instantly turned pale. His neatly trimmed, round fingers dug into his firm palm.
After murmuring to herself, Ning's mother thought carefully again, then clenched her right fist and hit her left palm.
Decision made.
Ning's mother was about to reprimand Ning Chen further when she turned and found that Ning Chen had disappeared.
Ning's mother looked around and finally saw Ning Chen walking back in a hurry.
His posture was so aggressive that even the usually carefree Ning's mother was a little surprised.
This was the first time she had seen her mature and steady son so emotional.
Like a broken old stereo, it blasted music that bombed people's eardrums, seeming like it would explode uncontrollably at any moment.
...
"Hey, what are you doing?"
In the hall, Young Master Wang was talking and laughing with a group of ruffian young masters. Suddenly, someone grabbed his shoulder.
The force on his shoulder was a bit heavy, and the young master couldn't break free, instantly getting emotional.
"Who the hell is this..." Young Master Wang turned and saw Ning Chen's cold face and immediately lost his voice.
"You're looking for me... Is there something?" Young Master Wang's voice trembled halfway through.
Ning Chen smiled politely.
Young Master Wang's scalp tingled as he stared at the curve of Ning Chen's lips, thinking it would be better if he snarled at him than to make him feel so creeped out.
"Young Master Wang, right? Please, let's talk elsewhere." After speaking, Ning Chen released Young Master Wang's hand and turned to walk towards the backyard.
Young Master? The uneducated Young Master Wang instantly suspected Ning Chen was insulting him, but his legs obediently followed Ning Chen.
"What do you want with me?"
Without Ning Jing by his side, Young Master Wang felt as if he had lost his bodyguard. He was so obedient that he almost shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"
"You didn't accept her confession?" Ning Chen grabbed Young Master Wang's collar, making him dangle in the air with both feet off the ground.
At this moment, Ning Chen seemed to have forgotten that Ning Jing's confession to Young Master Wang was just Ning's mother's guess.
He also ignored that Ning Jing's unusual mood started when he spoke to Ning Jing with an unfriendly tone.
At this moment, the string of reason in Ning Chen's mind was burnt by Ning's mother's guess.
In other words, he could hardly accept even this possibility.
Ning Chen roared, "Speak!"
The Young Master Wang in front of him was like a quail, somewhat similar to the quiet Ning Jing.
Unfortunately, he was not Ning Jing. Seeing him only made Ning Chen more irritable.
"What do you want! We've been together for a long time."
When Ning Chen mentioned a confession, Young Master Wang thought of his girlfriend.
He never thought that Ning Jing would have anything to do with a confession.
Young Master Wang had known Ning Jing for so many years. In his mind, Ning Jing seemed to prefer women to men, and always had a faint aversion to "stinky men" like them.
Oh, except for her "brother" in front of him, it seemed.
Therefore, Young Master Wang instantly regarded Ning Chen as a love rival trying to poach his girlfriend.
"You're together?" Ning Chen's sharp eyes instantly lost focus. The tone in which he uttered these words was like a murmur, a question, and a threat.
"Of course, we got together last Friday. She's mine now!"
When it came to Young Master Wang's girlfriend, he instantly became like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The timid quail demeanor was gone.
She's mine now!
She's mine now!
She's mine now!
...
This sentence echoed uncontrollably in Ning Chen's heart.
In just a few seconds, Ning Chen's breathing became rapid, and the corners of his eyes instantly turned as red as if stained with blood.
Then, Young Master Wang's head was knocked askew, and he was then pinned to the ground and beaten by Ning Chen.

"Mu Qi, what's wrong?"
Mu Qi avoided Yun Shu Nian's gaze and shook his head.
Yun Shu Nian, who had just finished shipping couples, was now completely focused on Mu Qi.
She noticed that Mu Qi was acting strangely. Avoiding her eyes was a clear indication.
Mu Qi wasn't usually like this. He would usually look at Yun Shu Nian when he spoke.
Yun Shu Nian knew Mu Qi was feeling down. The joy of shipping couples had vanished, and she only wanted to make Mu Qi happy.
But after coaxing him softly for more than ten minutes, Mu Qi still showed no reaction.
So, Yun Shu Nian started kissing Mu Qi again, disregarding the occasion.
However, Yun Shu Nian was tired of standing and couldn't tiptoe, and Mu Qi wasn't cooperating, so she didn't manage to kiss him.
Finally, after a few attempts, Yun Shu Nian couldn't take it anymore and threw herself onto Mu Qi.
