The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Several hours before Xu Yiyu fought the crocodile group with Yidali, thousands of kilometers away in China, Chen Ze wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, uttered a useless and harsh word in a dejected manner, and finally disappeared from He Jiayin's sight.

Yu Yan glanced at the fleeing figure with mocking eyes, shook off the finger bones that had been hit on the opponent's bones when he punched too hard, and took the briefcase that had been left aside for a long time from He Jiayin with an indifferent expression.

He Jiayin, who was originally protected by Yu Yan behind him, now had her eyes fixed on Yu Yan's hand with scratched knuckles. Looking at the wound that was slowly oozing blood, her eyes suddenly felt hot.

Why did she bother this senior who looked cold but was actually easy to get along with again and again, whether in school or now? What was it about her that was worthy of the senior's protection?

When Yu Yan picked up the briefcase, he just casually brushed off the dust on the surface, but checked He Jiayin from head to toe. After confirming that this school girl was not frightened by Chen Ze's recklessness, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He Jiayin was about to say something when she saw something slip out from the zipper of Yu Yan's briefcase and fall to the ground as if in slow motion.

Her eyes were suddenly attracted by the thing that fell to the ground, as if it had some magical power that no one could reach.

"Jia Yin, you——"

Yu Yan hadn't noticed anything wrong at first, but when he saw He Jiayin's somewhat disbelieving look, he followed her gaze and looked at the ground at his feet.

——In that photo that has turned yellow and has curled edges, a girl is smiling shyly, but her eyes are always sparkling as she looks at the boy in front of her.

Yu Yan, who finally realized that a secret was about to be exposed, stiffened his body instantly, as if he wanted to hide something. He quickly bent down and picked up the photo that he had previously placed in the interlayer of his bag, while vaguely avoiding He Jiayin's gaze.

Feeling that his ears were gradually getting hot, Yu Yan did not dare to look directly at He Jiayin in front of him. He could only turn his body sideways and clear his throat deliberately.

"Ahem, that guy probably won't be back in a short time. You go up first. I'm leaving."

Yu Yan didn't want to scare He Jiayin, so after saying this with an evasive look in his eyes, he turned around and walked towards the gate of the community.

He never expected that before he could even turn around completely, the corner of his clothes was grabbed by He Jiayin.

"Senior, please go to my house to disinfect and bandage your hand first. Your hand is still bleeding."

When He Jiayin spoke, her voice was a little muffled. She didn't know if Yu Yan had heard it wrong, but there was a hint of crying in her voice.

"……All right."

When Yu Yan saw his scratched hand, he agreed to He Jiayin's request and followed her upstairs.

I don’t know if his junior schoolmate has noticed that he seems unable to refuse any request he makes from her.

He Jiayin, who was walking in front of Yu Yan, pressed the elevator button. After being impulsive at first, she did not regret leaving Yu Yan behind.

Not every man in this world is a scumbag like Chen Ze, and not everyone will abandon the principles they have always adhered to for the sake of the temptation in front of them.

How could Chen Ze be qualified to be compared with Yu Yan! He was not even as good as one of Yu Yan's fingers!

He Jiayin did not bring up the matter of the photo, but Yu Yan understood that this schoolmate had most likely seen the person in the photo.

No wonder she was in such a weird mood right now, she must have been scared...

"Senior, did you know Chen Ze when you were in school?"

After entering the elevator car, He Jiayin couldn't explain why she asked Yu Yan this question. It was just that she didn't have time to suppress the emotions that surged in her heart involuntarily, and she couldn't figure out the real reason why she asked Yu Yan to stay.

"Not really an acquaintance. He's a grade above you. We run into each other sometimes, but we haven't talked much."

When Chen Ze was still in Fudan University, although he was not as famous as Yu Yan at that time, he was very popular among many students of the same level in the department, and he had not yet become what he is today.

Yu Yan knew about the time when He Jiayin and Chen Ze were together, but seeing that this guy was still a relatively reliable person at the time, he suppressed his thoughts deep in his heart.

"Won't you be angry when he said that?"

He Jiayin suddenly raised her head and turned to look at Yu Yan, who was much taller than her. The light in the depths of her eyes trembled slightly, but her tone when she spoke was still calm.

"There's no point in arguing with someone who has changed so thoroughly."

Yu Yan's eyes met He Jiayin's for only two seconds before he lowered his gaze slightly, avoiding the pair of eyes that had haunted him since their student days.

His tone was the same as always, so indifferent that one could hardly hear any emotion. He Jiayin opened his mouth repeatedly, but the question he really wanted to ask remained unanswered.

He Jiayin didn't find the opportunity to ask this question until he brought Yu Yan to the door of his home.

She didn't know why her emotions fluctuated so much today, nor did she understand why it was only now that she understood why Yu Yan had taken care of her before.

After using the key to open the door, Yu Yan took only one step into the room and then stopped at the entrance hesitantly.

"Please wait a moment, Senior. I'll get you some slippers."

"Okay, thank you."

He Jiayin's home was decorated simply and warmly, but Yu Yan just took a quick glance and then retracted his gaze in time.

He didn't want to be impolite when he visited He Jiayin's home for the first time, even though this was not a formal visit.

When He Jiayin took out a pair of men's slippers from the shoe cabinet in the entrance and placed them in front of Yu Yan, she looked up at the graceful Yu Yan and suddenly felt a belated shyness. She stood up, turned around and walked into the living room.

The Yu Yan in front of her was the man she had admired during her college years. His appearance in her home at this moment always made He Jiayin feel a little dazed and unreal.

Yu Yan left his briefcase on the stool at the entrance, bent down to change into slippers, and then walked into the living room.

He Jiayin had already opened the home medical kit and placed it on the coffee table, then sat on the single-seat sofa at the side.

At this moment, Yu Yan, who had never been afraid of anything, felt nervous for no reason.

Yu Yan walked stiffly to the multi-seater sofa and sat down. Before he could say anything, He Jiayin lowered her head and picked up his injured hand that was on his knee.

The moment their fingertips touched, Yu Yan's ears suddenly felt hot, and He Jiayin also felt an inexplicable heat rising on her cheek.

He Jiayin originally just wanted to sterilize Yu Yan's wound, and had not been too concerned just now. But now, he felt that the rhythm of his heartbeat was a little disrupted, and he quickly buried his head lower.

Yu Yan glanced at He Jiayin's whorl of hair, and touched the wound with a sterilized cotton swab dipped in alcohol. He felt almost no pain, and was rarely distracted.

He and He Jiayin finally no longer had to interact with each other due to the unfamiliar identities of senior and junior.

Perhaps, he really should thank Lu Caigou's fiancée who lives far away abroad.
