Suspicion

For some, tonight was naturally a sleepless one.

After all, once the seed of doubt is planted, it will continue to grow.

Jiang Ruizhao had been messaging Guo Xiaolan all night. At first, she replied a few times, but later she ended the conversation with a simple goodnight.

No matter what Jiang Ruizhao said, Guo Xiaolan acted as if she had disappeared.

This made Jiang Ruizhao's suspicion grow more and more severe.

For Mu Changsheng, this was a source of amusement. He slept very soundly tonight!

The next day, around nine in the morning, Mu Changsheng got out of bed and found that Jiang Ruizhao was no longer in the dormitory.

A smile crept onto Mu Changsheng's lips. "He's smart enough."

Jiang Ruizhao was indeed smart. He went directly to Guo Xiaolan's dormitory to wait. However, what Jiang Ruizhao waited for was not Guo Xiaolan, but Guo Xiaolan's roommate.

But for Jiang Ruizhao, this was also very good.

He just wanted to confirm if Guo Xiaolan was in the dormitory last night.

Jiang Ruizhao immediately stopped Guo Xiaolan's roommate. Jiang Ruizhao recognized this roommate; she was only about 1.5 meters tall, wore glasses, and had short hair.

"Jiayi, wait up."

Zhang Jiayi heard someone call her and was slightly startled. Zhang Jiayi turned her head and saw it was Jiang Ruizhao. She frowned slightly. She had seen Guo Xiaolan's boyfriend before.

"You're... Xiao Lan's boyfriend?"

Jiang Ruizhao smiled slightly, but his expression was a bit anxious. "Jiayi, um, is Xiao Lan in the dorm?"

"I called her, but I couldn't get through."

Zhang Jiayi was slightly stunned and said with some confusion, "She's not here."

"She wasn't in the dorm all last night."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruizhao's body stiffened. Not in the dorm...?!

Did that mean... Guo Xiaolan was lying to him?!

So what Mu Changsheng said was true?!

Guo Xiaolan got into a BMW...

Jiang Ruizhao didn't dare to think further...

Zhang Jiayi asked curiously, "Didn't she tell you she was going home?"

"Huh? Home?"

Jiang Ruizhao was slightly taken aback. Go home?

"Yeah, she told us she was going home because her aunt came to pick her up," Zhang Jiayi said.

Jiang Ruizhao's brow furrowed even deeper. Go home?

Then why didn't she tell him if she was going home?

"Did you and Xiao Lan have a fight? I think Xiao Lan really likes you. I'll tell you a secret, she's even knitting a scarf for you in the dorm."

Zhang Jiayi smiled slightly.

Jiang Ruizhao was stunned. Knitting a scarf for him?

Jiang Ruizhao immediately remembered Guo Xiaolan mentioning not long ago that she wanted to give him a gift.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruizhao felt like slapping himself. Xiao Lan probably had something important at home and had to rush back.

And he was here wrongly accusing and suspecting her.

Jiang Ruizhao, you're really not a good person!

However, why didn't Xiao Lan reply to his messages?

It would have been good if she had just told him if something was up.

Just then, Zhang Jiayi suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that Xiao Lan?"

Jiang Ruizhao's body stiffened. He looked up and saw Guo Xiaolan walking towards them.

Guo Xiaolan was also stunned. She hadn't expected to see Jiang Ruizhao at the dormitory building.

Guo Xiaolan immediately remembered seeing Mu Changsheng last night. She remembered Jiang Ruizhao constantly asking her where she was last night...

Oh no...

Seeing her roommate Zhang Jiayi beside him, Guo Xiaolan became extremely nervous. Didn't Jiang Ruizhao know she wasn't in the dorm last night?

It's over...

Zhang Jiayi asked curiously, "Xiao Lan, you're back from your aunt's house?"

Guo Xiaolan was stunned. Her aunt's house?

She didn't have an aunt. It was just an excuse for staying out all night.

Fortunately, she had an excuse before leaving.

Guo Xiaolan quickly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled, "Yes, my aunt just brought it back for me."

"But I have class today, and I can't be late, right?"

"Ruizhao, why are you here?"

Guo Xiaolan feigned surprise as she looked at Jiang Ruizhao.

Jiang Ruizhao walked closer curiously. Seeing the red mark on Guo Xiaolan's neck, he frowned, "How did you get that red mark on your neck?"

Guo Xiaolan's eyes widened in surprise. She touched her nose. This was from Song Haoning's hickey last night...

Damn it...

Guo Xiaolan chuckled awkwardly, "There were mosquitoes at my aunt's house last night. They must have bitten me."

"Then why didn't you reply to me last night?"

"You said you were going to your aunt's house, why did you lie to me and say you were at the dorm?"

Guo Xiaolan frowned, glancing at Zhang Jiayi beside her. She pretended to be wronged and said, "That's just... I didn't want you to worry."

"I didn't want your feelings for me to be strained because of my aunt's situation?"

Jiang Ruizhao frowned, "What exactly happened?"

Zhang Jiayi, being very smart, excused herself, "Haha, you guys talk. I'm going to get something to eat first."

Guo Xiaolan smiled, then stepped forward, took Jiang Ruizhao's hand, and pressed herself against him, making Jiang Ruizhao momentarily lose his composure.

After all, Guo Xiaolan had a good figure, and she was dressed so seductively.

However, what puzzled Jiang Ruizhao was that in the video, Xiao Lan was wearing black stockings. Why wasn't she wearing them today?

Could it be that the woman in the video wasn't Xiao Lan?

But without thinking too much, Guo Xiaolan said sweetly, "Ruizhao, don't be angry. Last night, my aunt and uncle had an argument, and they asked me to help them look after their child for a while... I didn't want you to be distracted... I didn't mean to not reply to you last night."

"Oh, I swear, I'll never lie to you again."

Guo Xiaolan pouted and said aggrievedly.

Jiang Ruizhao frowned, "Then you went to your aunt's house wearing this last night?"

Guo Xiaolan looked down at her outfit. It was indeed not suitable... for visiting relatives.

Guo Xiaolan shot Jiang Ruizhao a look and snorted coldly, "Wasn't it for you?"

Jiang Ruizhao was taken aback, "For me?"

"Yes, I was wearing this because I planned to go out... with you!"

"So I decided to try it out last night, and I felt pretty good."

Guo Xiaolan said shyly.

Hearing that it was for him, Jiang Ruizhao snorted, "If you do this again next time..."

"Oh, I'll tell you in advance about anything that happens next time, okay..."

"Don't be angry anymore, give me a kiss..."
