Chapter 2: A Hare?

Jiang Cheng was tall, a good 188 centimeters, and not slender, but powerfully built and muscular. He leaned slightly, looming over Ji Shuyi, making the girl appear petite beneath his robust frame.

The young man wore a wild and unrestrained sleeveless black T-shirt, radiating an arrogant and overbearing aura. His left hand was on a call, while his right arm confined a girl in a beautiful red dress who was frantically and resentfully pushing against him.

The scene had a strangely exciting and unsettling feel!

Ji Shuyi struggled for quite a while, but Jiang Cheng didn’t budge an inch. It was as if all her strength was merely a drizzle to him, not affecting his phone call with his friend in the slightest. Finally, after the person on the other end said something, Jiang Cheng replied:

“No girl here, just a little wild hare. Hanging up, I’m on my way.”

A wild hare?

Was he talking about her?

Ji Shuyi watched Jiang Cheng end the call and put away his phone, and angrily snapped, “You son of a bitch, who are you calling a wild hare?”

Jiang Cheng, who had been ignoring her all along, suddenly reached out, grabbed a shard of broken glass, and held it directly against Ji Shuyi’s fair face. His eyes were cold, hard, and fierce as he stared at her. “Say that again!”

He looked as if he hadn’t bothered with her before because he was busy, but if she dared to curse again, he would definitely teach her a lesson.

Instantly, Ji Shuyi was so startled by the cold piece of glass that her breath almost stopped. Her whole body froze, not daring to move, her eyes cautiously fixed on the shard pressed against her face. Jiang Cheng’s gaze was utterly without pity, terrifyingly fierce!

“You! If you dare hurt me, Yanyan will never forgive you!” Ji Shuyi regained her composure and, as if sure he wouldn’t dare to act, raised her chin and warned, “If you bully me again, I’ll be whispering in Yanyan’s ear every day! I’ll get Uncle Jiang to put you in confinement!”

Seeing that she didn’t dare call him a ‘son of a bitch’ anymore, Jiang Cheng gave a disdainful snort. “Then before I get confined, you’ll take care of the wine situation first.”

He slowly and deliberately dropped the shard of glass, straightened up, and put some distance between them, looking down at her condescendingly as he continued, “This wine is priceless, so money can’t solve it. Complete one task for me, and we’ll call it even.”

Ji Shuyi hurriedly asked, “Tell me what it is first, and then I’ll consider it.”

Jiang Cheng: “There’s a car race tonight, and the passenger seat needs to be filled for the entire race.”

He raised his chin slightly, supremely arrogant, as if issuing an order: “It’s you.”

“I’m not going!” Ji Shuyi hurriedly got off the table and refused. “You’ve been drinking. That’s drunk driving! I’m afraid of dying!”

Jiang Cheng gave her a cold glare and said, “Who’s been drinking?”

He casually picked up his wine glass and gestured to Ji Shuyi. “This is juice! Are you stupid?”

Ji Shuyi glanced at Jiang Cheng’s glass, and it was indeed juice. And he was so close to her just now, and there really wasn’t any smell of alcohol. But just being a seat filler for him would settle everything?

Could it be that easy?

Ji Shuyi stared at him doubtfully, just about to ask something, when suddenly her friends rushed over, looking extremely anxious.

“Shuyi!” Her cousin, Ji Chengyu, quickly stood in front of Ji Shuyi, protectively asking with concern, “Are you hurt?”

Lu Zhixia also approached Ji Shuyi, a worried look on her face, and whispered in her ear, “What’s going on? At first, we thought you were flirting with this guy, but then he was threatening you with broken glass.”

The group of friends looked at Jiang Cheng with hostility, ready to demand an explanation. However, after seeing him clearly, Ji Chengyu was taken aback. “Young Master Jiang.”

Ji Shuyi quickly said to Lu Zhixia, “Zhixia, this guy is Jiang Cheng!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhixia looked at Jiang Cheng. She hadn’t expected the person Ji Shuyi was always complaining about to have such a handsome face.

Jiang Cheng looked at the group of people who had suddenly appeared, too lazy to say anything to them. He spoke directly to Ji Shuyi, over Ji Chengyu’s shoulder, “Waiting for you at the entrance, hurry up.”

With that, he turned and left.

“What’s going on?” Ji Chengyu looked at Ji Shuyi, completely bewildered. “Isn’t Jiang Cheng the younger brother of your good friend?”

Seeing that they all knew each other, Ji Chengyu instantly relaxed.

Ji Shuyi didn’t know how to explain it to her cousin for a moment. She only knew that if she didn’t resolve the matter of breaking his wine bottle today, Jiang Cheng, with his dog-like nature, would definitely pester her endlessly about it. And now that she was back in the country for university and the Jiang family had also settled down in China, she was afraid that he would have nothing better to do than to chase after her to the university and mess with her, making her famous on the very first day of school.

That was absolutely unacceptable; it had to be dealt with today.

“It’s nothing, we were just fooling around,” Ji Shuyi explained to her friends. “I accidentally broke the wine bottle.” Then, she turned and whispered to Lu Zhixia, “I’ll tell you the details later.”

Finally, after reassuring her friends a few more times, she left the bar.

Ji Shuyi walked out of the bar and saw the cool Bugatti La Voiture Noire supercar parked at the entrance. Jiang Cheng and his friend were leaning against the hood of the car, chatting. Even though they weren’t facing the direction of the bar entrance, Jiang Cheng still accurately turned his head towards her and called out the moment Ji Shuyi walked out of the bar, “Get in the car.”

Caught off guard, Ji Shuyi couldn’t help but curl her lips. Did this guy have a 360-degree radar installed on him?

Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at Ji Shuyi, who was slowly walking over in her high heels and suspender dress. He immediately frowned and said without any reservation, “That dress is ugly and cumbersome. I’ll take you to change into something else first.”

Saying that, he also disliked her for walking too slowly and strode forward to grab Ji Shuyi’s arm, forcefully pulling her along.

His grip was strong, and Ji Shuyi winced in pain, scolding, “Don’t you know the proper distance between men and women!”

Jiang Cheng impatiently lowered his eyes and glared at her coldly. “I only know that time is precious! Snails are faster than you!”

Being dragged along, taking three steps at a time, Ji Shuyi angrily tried to stomp the stiletto heel of her high heel hard on Jiang Cheng’s foot. However, the young man was incredibly agile, and she couldn’t succeed at all. When he noticed, Jiang Cheng rudely shoved her into the passenger seat.

Ugh—she seriously suspected this rudeness was revenge!

“You have to guarantee my physical and mental safety! Not even a scratch! I’m only responsible for sitting in the passenger seat to fill a spot for you; everything else is unrelated to me.” Ji Shuyi took the initiative to lay down the law. “Once it’s over, you have to take me home safely, and then the matter of the broken wine bottle will be completely settled.”

Jiang Cheng rested one hand on the car door, leaning slightly as he looked at Ji Shuyi in the passenger seat, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. “Alright, we’ll be even after the race.”

Looking at his enigmatic smile, Ji Shuyi misunderstood and covered her chest, indignantly saying with a mix of shyness and anger, “I have a car nearby, with a baseball uniform inside. I… I’ll go change first.”

While speaking, she quickly pushed him away, left three words “Pervert!”

and hurriedly got out of the car, walking towards her own.
