Just What He Needed

Jiang Yang took Ye Qingwei back.

The young woman was reluctant to part with him, while he was already planning the next day's actions.

Xiao Wan had also brought over everything Jiang Yang needed and temporarily renovated the hotel.

There were large quantities of supplies, nearly all of them suitable for long-term storage. There were also plenty of protective gear and weapons, though they were just homemade crossbows and the like. Jiang Yang wanted firearms, but he could not get them, and Xiao Wan would not agree to help him obtain any.

"Getting so much stuff—are you planning to play apocalypse survival?"

Xiao Wan was dressed very conservatively this time, which disappointed Jiang Yang somewhat.

"Exactly. With food, drinks, and a beautiful woman, the two of us could survive here for ten months."

"Why ten months?"

"Because it takes ten months to carry a baby."

Xiao Wan blushed and shot Jiang Yang a glare. "Can't you be serious for once? Believe me, I'll tell on you."

Oh? She was getting feisty now.

Jiang Yang pulled Xiao Wan into his arms. "How do you know you're not the child bride our parents found for me?"

The original owner had been through plenty of women, yet he had never gotten anywhere with Xiao Wan. After all, the original owner had a body weak enough to drop dead from overexertion. He could not beat her, and he certainly could not talk her around, since she was practically half an older sister to him.

The only way was to make Xiao Wan offer herself willingly.

What one could not have always seemed best. If he got the chance, Jiang Yang would not mind fulfilling the original owner's unrealized dream.

The next day, Jiang Yang arrived at Linjiang Hospital early.

The moment Ye Qingwei saw him, she was like an iker seeing her idol—she could not hide the smile on her face at all.

Jiang Yang had already handled Ye Qingwei's discharge procedures, claiming that the company had arranged a place for her to stay.

In reality, it was Jiang Yang's hotel.

"Do you have anything else to pack?"

Jiang Yang pushed Ye Qingwei along, his nose filled with a faint fragrance. She had clearly dressed up.

"No. Are we going straight to the company?"

Ye Qingwei smoothed her hair, her long eyelashes fluttering. She did not know why, but facing Brother Jiang alone now made her much more nervous than when they had first met.

She was afraid he would notice something she had done wrong.

"What's the rush? I heard Miss Ye is also a student at Linjiang University. Why don't we take you over there for a look around?"

Jiang Yang directly carried Ye Qingwei into the car. According to her information, she had also been admitted to Linjiang University, but she had never attended because of her treatment.

Yet going to school had always been one of Ye Qingwei's small wishes. At that moment, her affection for Jiang Yang rose a little more.

After arriving at Linjiang University, Jiang Yang pushed Ye Qingwei around the campus, chatting about everything under the sun.

Before long, Jiang Yang's humor had eased Ye Qingwei's nervousness.

Suddenly, a discordant voice rang out nearby.

"Well, well, well. Isn't this our class monitor Ye?"

As the voice fell, a handsome young man dressed head to toe in designer brands walked over, his eyes fixed intently on Ye Qingwei in her wheelchair.

Ye Qingwei said nothing, her face turning slightly pale as though she had recalled something she did not want to remember.

Seeing Ye Qingwei's expression, Jiang Yang secretly rejoiced.

As the saying went, when luck was on your side, a pillow arrived just when you were sleepy. When luck was against you, even drinking cold water could get stuck in your teeth.

"You know each other?"

Jiang Yang gently smoothed Ye Qingwei's hair, all while watching the young man before him. When he saw hostility rise in the other man's eyes, Jiang Yang knew he was guaranteed to score points today!

"I... I don't know him." Ye Qingwei turned and nervously whispered into Jiang Yang's ear, "Brother Jiang, let's go."

"Whatever you say."

Jiang Yang turned, pushing Ye Qingwei away.

The young man instantly became displeased and said sarcastically, "Class Monitor Ye, we were classmates after all. How about we catch up?"

As he spoke, the young man strode toward them.

What handsome young man? There was no way Ye Qingwei could forget this bastard!

His name was Gu Tao, and he was also the son of a somewhat influential family.

Gu Tao had once pursued her. On one occasion, he had tried to force himself on her, but Ye Fan had appeared in time.

However, the reason Ye Qingwei could never forget Gu Tao was because she had implicated Ye Fan that time, causing him to be beaten by a group of people and spend a week in the hospital before he could get out of bed.

Thinking of Ye Fan's miserable state, Ye Qingwei refused to let the same thing happen to Brother Jiang.

Then, gathering her courage, she said to Jiang Yang, "Brother Jiang, you should leave first. This person is not a good man. Don't worry, he wouldn't dare do anything to me..."

"Oh? Class Monitor Ye is still so confident. I'm not some ignorant little kid anymore. If we're catching up, then of course we should go to a hotel..."

Before Gu Tao could finish.

Jiang Yang had already struck decisively.

No, he had kicked decisively!

"What the hell are you saying? Fuck you! If you ate shit, go home and rinse your mouth!"

Jiang Yang sent Gu Tao flying several meters with a single kick.

Honestly, it was only because the apocalypse was still some time away.

Otherwise, Gu Tao would already be dead.

"Fuck! You... are you fucking sick?!"

Gu Tao clenched his teeth in pain. In all his years, this was the first time he had seen someone kick him without so much as a word.

If someone disliked you, they should at least exchange a few insults first.

There had been no warning at all!

After struggling to his feet, he said coldly, "Kid, just you wait!"

With that, he limped away from the scene as fast as he could.

Though Gu Tao was furious, having run into someone tougher than himself, he could only flee in embarrassment.

Ye Qingwei recalled Ye Fan's sorry state back then... Yet Brother Jiang had dealt with the matter in mere moments.

An unprecedented sense of security rippled through Ye Qingwei's heart...

At the same time, although she was shocked by Jiang Yang's strength, she felt even more guilty.

"I'm sorry, Brother Jiang. I got you involved..."

"What are you talking about, silly girl? With me here, no one will dare lay a hand on you."

Jiang Yang smiled faintly, naturally grateful to Gu Tao for delivering exactly what he needed.

"Brother Jiang, thank you. You... you're so good to me."

Seeing Jiang Yang's smile, Ye Qingwei's heart warmed at once, her eyes filled with admiration.

Inside a small company five kilometers away from Linjiang University, Ye Fan handed over a mostly blank résumé.

"Um, the job listing said ten thousand a month, with meals and accommodation included. Is that true?"

Ye Fan still found it hard to believe, because the small company was far too shabby to look like it could offer such high pay. Besides, the work itself was extremely simple.

He only had to review documents and verify certain files every day.

To Ye Fan, this job was like picking up money off the ground. What he did not know was that someone had deliberately put that money there for him to pick up.

"That's right. If you perform well over the next two months, there'll also be extra bonuses."

"Really? Thank you!"

After receiving a definite answer from HR, Ye Fan happily headed to the company-provided dormitory, while also remembering to message Tang Ya and celebrate.

But he received no reply from her.

The company-provided dormitory was also excellent. It was an apartment, and Ye Fan was the only person living in it!

At that moment, Ye Fan even wondered whether he had accidentally stepped in dog shit while walking one day, to have found such a good job.

If he rented on one of the platforms, this apartment would cost at least seven thousand a month.

The apartment he lived in was on the thirteenth floor, right in the middle of the building. Its rent would be another two thousand higher. Yet the company had actually given such a nice place to him as a dormitory.

Just as Ye Fan was celebrating happily, Jiang Yang was also nearly finished with his business.
