I Eat My Own Jealousy chapter 20

Chapter 20

With night vision, everything around appeared no different from daytime. Quickly, Zong Ye found the thin disguise film near Jian Ning’s feet. He then stood up, lifted Jian Ning’s clothing that covered his head, and pressed the back of his head, reapplying the disguise film behind his ear before releasing his hand.

Jian Ning raised his head and saw his face returning to normal. Zong Ye sighed with relief and was about to start a serious conversation when suddenly, from behind the trees in the distance, there was a commotion.

The deputy officer had been keeping an eye on the back door of the auditorium and didn’t notice the disturbance in the far-off trees. He took two steps in that direction when a student rushed out from there in a fluster and dashed into the auditorium as if something major had happened.

Jian Ning got up and walked back into the auditorium with Terry, informing Jenny of their departure. Upon hearing they were leaving, Jenny exchanged contact numbers with the boy who danced with her before leaving with them.

Back in the dormitory, after feeding Tuan tuan and taking a shower, Jian Ning watched a movie in the living room with Terry before carrying Tuan tuan back to his room to sleep.

The night was deep, and the entire academy was immersed in slumber. Outside the dormitory building, a white wolf silently leaped onto the balcony of a room on the second floor.

The balcony door was not securely closed, allowing the white wolf to enter the living room unnoticed. Following a familiar scent, the wolf stood by the door of a room and swiftly transformed into a naked man. The man lightly turned the doorknob and quietly entered.

Inside the room, Jian Ning was sleeping soundly. The man approached the bed and, illuminated by the moonlight through the window, gazed at his sleeping face without looking away. Suddenly, the bedding next to Jian Ning moved, and a fluffy little bundle rolled out from it.

The man’s eyebrows furrowed, and he lowered his head to sniff the little bundle. After detecting a scent similar to his own, he relaxed his brows. As the little bundle stirred and its tiny paws moved as if about to wake up, he gently pinched its nape, and the little bundle fell back into deep sleep.

Carefully tucking the little bundle back into the bedding, the man lifted the covers and quietly got into bed. From behind, he embraced his little companion, whom he hadn’t seen in over three months, in his arms.

During these few months, he had been searching for opportunities to come out, but the person’s suppression was incredibly strong, and he could only remain dormant. If it weren’t for seeing his little companion, he wouldn’t have been able to break free from the suppression and would have remained trapped.

However, he couldn’t stay out for too long either. He could only take control of this body for a few hours while the person was in deep sleep. But even that was enough; just being able to see his little companion made him feel content.

He hadn’t figured out how to tell his situation to his little companion. What if Jian Ning despised him after finding out? So, he decided not to let him discover his presence for the time being.

The man hugged his little companion tightly, leaning down to give a gentle kiss on his forehead. He waited until dawn was approaching before gently getting up and turning back into a white wolf. Seeing Tuan tuan roll out from the bedding again, rubbing his eyes in a daze, the white wolf extended his tongue to lick the little fellow before leaving without making a sound.

Tuan tuan was taken by surprise, his face licked all over, and he touched the saliva on his face with his tiny paws, staring in amazement at the big white wolf that looked a lot like him leaving. He quickly got up, wobbled, and jumped off the bed, following to chase after the wolf. The white wolf gracefully leaped off the balcony and vanished into the misty morning fog.

Jian Ning woke up, just getting off the bed, when Tuan tuan bit his trouser leg, pulling him towards the balcony. Yawning, Jian Ning asked drowsily, “Tuan tuan, what’s wrong?”

Tuan tuan brought him to the balcony and started howling outside, prompting Jian Ning to quickly bend down and hold him in his arms. He raised his finger to hush him, saying, “Shh, don’t make noise, someone might hear. Do you want to go out and play?”

He scratched Tuan tuan’s chin. The little guy had been cooped up in the dormitory all day and hadn’t gone out to play for a long time. Since it was the weekend today, Jian Ning said, “We’ll go out after having breakfast.”

During breakfast, Terry heard that Jian Ning was taking Tuan tuan out to play and wanted to join them. Terry’s aunt lived on the Imperial Star, and he would come to stay there for a few days every year, so he was somewhat familiar with the place. He took Jian Ning and Tuan tuan to a theme park designed for young pups like Tuan tuan. The three of them played until almost dark before returning to the academy.

Tuan tuan was sweaty from all the playing, so when they got back to the dormitory, Jian Ning carried him to the bathroom for a bath. Midway through the bath, Terry knocked on the door.

“What’s up?” Jian Ning’s hands were covered in foam as he opened the bathroom door. Seeing Tuantuan’s little head full of bubbles, trying to escape from the bathtub, Terry hesitated and waved his hand, “Never mind, you go ahead and give Tuan tuan a bath.”

Confused, Jian Ning went back inside, grabbing Tuan tuan, who was halfway out of the bathtub, and finished giving him a bath before drying him and letting him go. After cleaning up the bathroom, he went out, and Terry pulled him to sit on the sofa, asking, “Yesterday at the dance, was the Marshal also in the garden behind the auditorium?”

Jian Ning was taken aback and asked, “How do you know?”

Terry handed him a light brain and said, “Take a look at the top post on the academy forum.”

Saint’s Academy had an online forum, which Jian Ning knew about but hadn’t checked yet. He took the light brain and glanced at the top post, which had a dazzling title: Shocking! Marshal’s Love Exposed, the Male Lead is…

Jian Ning speechlessly clicked on the post, and the poster vividly recounted the events of the previous night’s dance. He mentioned that he had had a bit too much to drink and felt a little dizzy, so he went to the garden behind the auditorium to get some fresh air. To his surprise, he saw the Marshal and a young man on a bench, behaving in a very intimate manner. The Marshal even embraced the young man and took off his own clothes to cover him.

Caught in the act? Jian Ning’s heart skipped a beat when he thought of the guy from last night. He quickly scrolled down the post and found that the poster didn’t mention him at all; he just described the young man as a handsome stranger. Only then did Jian Ning feel relieved.

“You were in the garden last night too, right? Did you also see it was the Marshal with someone? Could it be someone from our academy?” Terry asked eagerly.

Jian Ning mumbled, “I didn’t see anything. I went for a walk and didn’t see anyone in the garden when I returned.”

Terry curiously stroked his chin, “Who could it be? How did someone suddenly show up? Is it really the Marshal’s romantic partner?”

Hmph, not likely. Who knows what happened to Zong Ye last night? He said they needed to talk properly, but then he suddenly started getting handsy. Jian Ning rolled his eyes and complained silently in his mind.

“Never mind, it’s not our business to worry about the Marshal’s affairs.” He changed the subject, picked up Tuan tuan, and turned on the light screen. “Let’s continue watching the movie we didn’t finish yesterday.”

As Jian Ning enjoyed the movie without worries, the atmosphere in Shelley’s dormitory upstairs was gloomy.

Shelley sat dejectedly on the sofa, with Andy comforting him, “Shelley, don’t be sad. The person who posted must have made up lies. The Marshal is busy every day, why would he go to the dance?”

Andy’s twin brother, Angie, also consoled him, “Yeah, if the Marshal had a partner, he would have announced it long ago. Why hide it so thoroughly? If you’re still worried, ask Prince Lanno if the Marshal went to the military school last night.”

“Yeah, ask Prince Lanno; he must know.” Andy handed Shelley his communication device, suggesting.

Shelley took the device and thought for a moment before sending a message to Lanno, inquiring about Zong Ye’s presence at the military school last night.

Lanno’s reply came quickly, and upon seeing it, not only Shelley but also Andy and Angie’s expressions changed. It turned out the Marshal had indeed been to the military school last night to visit Instructor Iso.

“…But that doesn’t explain why the Marshal went to the dance.” Andy weakly tried to comfort Shelley.

Shelley remained silent, and just as he held the communication device in his hand, it rang. It was Lanno calling him through the communication device.

Shelley didn’t want Lanno to know and said, “It’s nothing…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the communication device was snatched by Andy, who asked, “Prince Lanno, it’s Andy here. Is the Marshal currently in a relationship?”

Lanno didn’t hesitate and replied, “Of course not. Why do you suddenly ask?”

Andy said, “Someone on our academy forum posted that they saw the Marshal with a stranger at the dance last night, and they were behaving very intimately.”

Lanno immediately understood the situation and assured, “Shelley, don’t be upset. I will find out the truth for you.”

Andy returned the communication device to Shelley, and he could only say, “Thank you.”

Lanno asked a few more concerned questions before they ended the call.

The next day in class, Jian Ning overheard whisperings from his classmates, speculating about who was with the Marshal at the dance that night. He eavesdropped a bit, confirming that his current appearance hadn’t been recognized, and finally felt relieved.

After class, he went to Professor Moor’s laboratory, and when he came out, he noticed that Zong Ye had sent him a message, asking if he was available the next night and suggesting they meet up.
