After Rebirth, I was Entangled by a Second Generation Rich Guy Again

Chapter 13

Wen Yu originally wanted to hang Ji Anning by ignoring her, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. Before he could even process what was happening, he had already taken a few large steps over and grabbed Ji Anning’s slender arm.

His hand was like a pair of pliers, firmly grasping Ji Anning’s arm and giving her strong support, helping her steady herself.

Wen Yu took the bag from her hand and glanced at her. Her face was pale, her lips slightly white, and there were small beads of sweat on her forehead. It wasn’t due to the heat, but rather cold sweat brought on by sudden fear and panic.

“Are you okay?” Wen Yu asked.

Ji Anning looked up at his face and felt his strength on her arm. The sudden fear and panic that had come over her dissipated like dark clouds under the sunlight.

She took a deep breath and her face regained its color. “I’m fine, just got startled.”

Just startled?

Wen Yu’s gaze turned slightly cold as he looked at Zhao Chen. “What happened?”

Zhao Chen smiled and apologized repeatedly, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Did you get hurt? Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital?”

Ji Anning said, “No need.”

Zhao Chen then said, “That’s okay. Leave me your number just in case you need help.”

Ji Anning still refused, “No need.”

Wen Yu observed Ji Anning and found that her attitude towards Zhao Chen was as cold as ice. Her rejection of him was absolute. In contrast, her attitude towards Wen Yu’s previous rejection could be considered gentle.

Wen Yu inexplicably felt comfortable. His desire to “temporarily ignore” Ji Anning faded away.

Seeing that Zhao Chen still wanted to talk, Wen Yu interrupted him, “She’s fine, you don’t need to worry about it. Go eat your meal.”

As he spoke, he released Ji Anning’s arm and draped his arm around her back, half-hugging her. Although it wasn’t a full embrace, it showed a clear protective stance.

Ji Anning remained silent, and her cold and distant attitude clearly agreed with Wen Yu’s decision.

It was as if there was no room for anyone else to interfere between the two of them.

Zhao Chen was bored and left embarassingly.

Wen Yu looked down at Ji Anning and teased her, “I didn’t know you were so timid. It was just a small bump, why is your face so pale?”

Ji Anning forced a smile.

In her past life, Zhao Chen had pushed her into a corner, and the despair she felt was too profound. She had fallen off a building, and that fear was also profound.

In the past few days since her rebirth, she had first met Wen Yu, and then she had been thinking about when she would meet Zhao Chen. Although the school was quite large, it was only so big. Although she knew that Zhao Chen was often absent from class, she would inevitably meet him sooner or later.

Ji Anning had always thought she was mentally prepared to meet Zhao Chen. But it was not until she saw his face just now that she realized that all that fear and despair was still buried deep in her heart and had not dissipated.

Zhao Chen was her psychological shadow, and it couldn’t be dispelled for a while.

Ji Anning gave Wen Yu a forced smile and lowered her head to hide her still unsettled emotions. She reached out and said, “Give it to me.”

Wen Yu pulled back the hand holding the food bag, and instead used the hand supporting Jì Anning’s back to apply a slight force. “Let’s talk outside, take a deep breath, you look pale,” he said.

Ji Anning withdrew her hand and followed his lead towards the door. But her shoulders were tense, and she took an extra step, allowing her back to break free from Wen Yu’s palm.

Wen Yu smiled faintly and nonchalantly retracted his hand as if nothing had happened.

The autumn noon sun was dazzling, but it made Ji Anning feel at ease. The blue sky and white sun, the vast and bright world, always made people feel more secure compared to the hazy night scene of red lights and alcohol.

“Do you know that person?” Ji Anning asked.

“I guess you could say I know him,” Wen Yu said. “But we’re not close.”

Ji Anning nodded and reached out her hand again. “Give it to me, I have to deliver it quickly.”

Wen Yu handed her the bag.

“Thank you,” Ji Anning said. “Go eat now.”

Along the way from the cafeteria to the dormitory building, there were booths set up by various clubs on the roadside. The leaders of the clubs were shouting, handing out flyers, showing off their abilities, and trying to recruit new members. Freshmen were chattering and full of curiosity and excitement, checking out this booth for awhile and that booth for awhile.

Wen Yu watched Ji Anning’s slender figure disappear into the crowd.

She said she didn’t know Zhao Chen, but Wen Yu didn’t believe her. It was just a minor collision, why would she have such a big reaction?

Ji Anning’s face turned pale for a moment, not because of the collision, but because she saw Zhao Chen’s face clearly.

Wen Yu habitually lit a cigarette, just took two puffs, when someone came over and said, “You can’t smoke here, classmate.”

Wen Yu smiled and nodded, and put out the cigarette.

He looked in the direction where Ji Anning disappeared, and suddenly remembered something. He stopped his steps towards the cafeteria, hesitated for a moment, turned around, and headed towards the women’s dormitory.

After finishing delivering the lunch orders, Ji Anning came down from the women’s dormitory and didn’t immediately go to the cafeteria to eat. She found a stone bench downstairs and sat down, with her arms on her legs, and her face covered.

Her hands were still shaking.

When she saw Zhao Chen, she felt fear, but as the fear receded, anger rose up inside her, to the point where she wanted to kill someone.

What would happen if she killed Zhao Chen?

Wen Yu had demonstrated that in his past life, and his whole life was ruined. He originally could have had a very good life.

Ji Anning rubbed her face hard and suddenly saw a pair of shoes in front of her.

Looking up, she saw Wen Yu with his hands in his pockets, looking down at her. From this angle, Wen Yu looked like a giant.

“What are you doing?” he asked, sitting next to her.

He had waited for her across the road from the dormitory and saw her sitting on the stone bench in a daze. He observed her for a while before coming over to talk to her.

Ji Anning looked at him and asked, “Why haven’t you gone to eat yet?”

In such a short time, he couldn’t have finished eating and come over.

Ji Anning looked at the young man and thought of how he was sentenced to death for her. His life was short, and her heart couldn’t help but soften. Her tone of voice became naturally gentle.

Wen Yu raised his eyebrows, a little surprised at Ji Anning’s tone of voice today.

He asked her, “Have you had any dealings with Zhao Chen before?”

Ji Anning shuddered and said, “No.”

Wen Yu had been observing her expression all along, and he nodded and said, “I just remembered something, so I came to tell you to stay away from him.”

Ji Anning stared at him, her lips tightly pursed.

Wen Yu said, “I don’t know him well, and this information is hearsay. He was supposed to be in his junior year like me, but in his sophomore year, he got into trouble for attempting to assault a girl, so he took a year off and is still a sophomore this year.”

This is really… indeed something that Zhao Chen would do.

“Understood,” Ji Anning said, “I’ll stay away from him. Don’t worry.”

She added, “I’m very busy with my part-time job and don’t have time to deal with him. Besides, I have this, so you don’t have to worry.”

She took out a small spray bottle from her bag.

“What’s this?” Wen Yu took the bottle from her hand and squinted his eyes in the sunlight.

“Chili water,” Ji Anning smiled, “I made it myself.”

“Heh,” Wen Yu also laughed.

Ji Anning has always known that Wen Yu is good-looking. But in her past life, he caused her too much trouble, and she would feel annoyed when she thought of him. She was completely indifferent towards his face.

Now, as she looked at him, she felt that his nose was high and straight, and his lips were thin, making him handsome and sexy.

Especially his pair of ink-black eyes, shining brightly in the sunlight, can make people feel flustered.

Ji Anning moved her gaze away, as if she wanted to explain something to him, saying: “I know how to guard against others. I work part-time at NL and only drink my own water. There are markings on my cup, and if someone touches my cup, I can tell…”

So don’t worry about me, take care of yourself, be safe and sound for the rest of your life.

What has she experienced to be so cautious?

Don’t even mention freshmen, many junior and senior girls are still naive and unsuspecting of men. They are not defensive against others.

Wen Yu’s gaze stayed on her face.

After a while, he smiled and said: “Okay, you’re quite capable.”

As he spoke, he put the small spray bottle back into her hand. But his movements were slow, his fingers touching her palm for a full three seconds.

Just as she was thinking about his good side, his rascal side emerged.

Ji Anning immediately clenched her fists and glared at him.

Wen Yu looked at her with a smile. With such thick-skinned face, he was naturally unscathed.

Ji Anning wordlessly put the pepper spray back in her bag, stood up, and walked away.

“Let’s have lunch together.” Wen Yu shouted from behind.

“Eat by yourself.” Ji Anning said unkindly, quickening her pace and leaving him behind.

Being a club committee member is quite tiring. While others are having lunch, they are busy selling Amway at their respective booths. 1 Amway “安利 (ānlì)” is a MLM company. It’s a slang for advertising or recommending your product/services to someone, usually through word of mouth or networking.

“Student, come check out the Fighting Club, we have professional equipment and coaches, and all kinds of benefits!” Chen Hao shouted to a few freshman boys, “If you’re a man, come learn free fighting! There are no Taekwondo showmanship or traditional martial arts routines, only real fighting in free fighting!”

Next to them, the Taekwondo club was unhappy. Two girls in dobok frowned: “You can advertise if you want, but don’t undermine us!”

“Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. Don’t be angry, beautiful ladies.” Chen Hao said with a smile, turning to a few boys, “If you really want to experience the passion, only free fighting will do, nothing else.”

Unfortunately, there are only a few strong men in the Fighting Club, while the Taekwondo Club has several female committee members. A few young freshmen were not determined enough, and were quickly attracted by the smiling faces of the senior sisters.

“Tsk.” Chen Hao shook his head.

He didn’t care, but the president himself had invested a lot of money into the club. What he originally asked was to only allow those who were genuinely interested in fighting and had the perseverance to train for a long time to join. Those who lacked determination, and could be easily coaxed by a few words from a girl, saying “Boys look really handsome in dobok”, and have no idea what their worth is, can go wherever they please.

As he turned his head around, he saw a girl standing in front of the fighting club’s booth, staring intently at a promotional flyer.

When she looked up, Chen Hao recognized her. Isn’t this the little beauty who carried her grandmother to school?”
