Chapter 1677: Chapter 1124: Heaven Knows, Earth Knows, You Know, I Know~ (First Update)
Jiang Chen carefully supported Cao Jinse as they slowly walked out of the Tower of Terrifying Spirits.
Very considerate.
And when he saw soone sitting on a nearby bench, he put his pride aside and politely said to the couple, “My friend is suddenly not feeling well, could you…?”
The young couple looked at Cao Jinse, and as younger people, they were naturally more courteous than so older folks. Seeing Cao Jinse looking “pale as a ghost” while being supported, they imdiately stood up and gave up the bench.
“Thank you.”
Jiang Chen sincerely expressed his gratitude.
No matter how strong her emotional control, at this mont, Madam Cao wished she could find a hole to hide in. She bit her lip, struggling with the boiling embarrassnt.
No doubt about it.
She probably had never been this humiliated in her entire life.
“Sit down and rest a bit.”
Jiang Chen helped her sit down gently and then said, “If you’re afraid of heights, you should have ntioned it earlier, why force yourself?”
Fortunately, Madam Cao had a high level of propriety and did not explode, still speaking reasonably, “I told you I wasn’t getting on.”
“But you didn’t say you were scared.”
So people really have a way of driving others crazy without feeling any guilt.
Even Cao Jinse took a deep breath at this point, probably chanting “Don’t Be Angry” in her mind.
Jiang Chen certainly didn’t an to, and indeed Madam Cao did say she wouldn’t get on but didn’t explicitly state her fear of heights beforehand, otherwise Jiang Chen would never have forced her.
Upon realizing the truth, he felt guilty and glanced at her legs under her casual pants.
“Want to massage them for you?”
How well-intentioned.
Cao Jinse glared at him with fury and simply replied with one word.
“Scram!”
Jiang Chen, who got no thanks for his good intentions, rubbed his nose, and then… he really scramd.
Cao Jinse watched him stand up and leave, blending into the passing crowd, and suddenly the corners of her mouth rose inexplicably.
She had, of course, been to an amusent park before.
But that was a very long ti ago.
She shook her head and, after rejecting Jiang Chen, actually started massaging her own leg.
Sigh.
As an entrepreneur.
She really didn’t know how to enjoy herself.
“When you’re nervous, eating sothing sweet can feel a bit better.”
Cao Jinse looked up.
She saw an ice cream cone.
Jiang Chen had returned, holding two bottles of water in his other hand.
Madam Cao wasn’t one to be overly dramatic; she raised her hand to take the ice cream cone.
Jiang Chen sat down again, “Feeling any better?”
Cao Jinse was still massaging her leg with her right hand and responded with a nonchalant “Mmhmm” before starting to taste the ice cream cone.
“Actually, fear of heights isn’t an illness; it’s mainly caused by psychological factors. I used to be afraid of heights too. Try a few more tis and gradually it won’t be as scary.”
Having already been “duped” once, Madam Cao wouldn’t fall for his tricks again, and said coldly and decisively, “If you want to try, you go ahead.”
“How about trying sothing else?”
Jiang Chen tilted his head, “There are still many easy-going attractions.”
If it were before getting on the Tower of Terrifying Spirits, Madam Cao might have been willing to give face, but alas, Jiang Chen had already personally broken this trust.
“No one else needs to know about today’s incident, right?”
Although it was a question, anyone could hear the undisguised threat.
Jiang Chen imdiately nodded.
“Of course, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know!”
Seeing his serious face, heaven knows how much Madam Cao wanted to slap the ice cream in her hand onto it.
But waste is shaful.
And also, in public.
Madam Cao’s upbringing wouldn’t allow her to do sothing so rude and undignified.
So she took a big bite out of the ice cream cone.
Jiang Chen placed a bottle of water beside him, then opened the other bottle he held, smiling as he took a sip.
Indeed.
They’re all living people, aren’t they?
Everyone has faults, shortcomings, weaknesses.
And precisely because of this, they are real.
“Tissue.”
Whether things felt better or not, at least Madam Cao finished the entire ice cream cone and didn’t rember to leave a portion for anyone to try.
“As a girl, you don’t even carry tissues?”
Jiang Chen asked instinctively, not knowing that Cao Jinse’s reply was even more justified.
“Go ask any random couple now, see whether the guy or the girl is carrying tissues.”
At this point.
Jiang Chen, who seed at a loss for words, fell silent, and then oddly, so did Cao Jinse.
“Never mind.”
“I’ll look.”
Jiang Chen placed the bottle aside, patting his pockets, and indeed found a pack of tissues.
Having just been taught a lesson by reality once, he wouldn’t dare overstep this ti, handing the tissues over.
Cao Jinse took them and wiped off the milk stains on her lips.
“Why haven’t they co yet?”
“Maybe it’s too big, hard to find. Don’t worry, they’re not kids anymore; they won’t get lost.”
Is getting lost really Madam Cao’s concern here?
“Drink so water.”
Jiang Chen casually picked up a bottle of water from nearby to hand over, then grabbed another for himself, twisted open the cap, and took a gulp, suddenly realizing sothing was amiss.
It’s not that the taste was off.
He had intentionally purchased imported water, without any radioactive ingredients in the label, but the problem was he rembered drinking earlier, why did twisting the cap feel like there was resistance?
Jiang Chen imdiately looked at the water bottle in his hand, then his face changed.
Oh no!
He quickly turned his head, wanting to alert her, but his mouth froze just as it opened.
Only to see that Cao Jinse had already put down the bottle, and the water inside was already half gone.
Jiang Chen’s lips moved, hesitating to speak.
“What?”
Cao Jinse turned her head, holding the bottle, noticing his odd behavior.
“N-no problem.”
In a flash of insight, Jiang Chen made a choice that could be called smart and rational, but his slightly stiff expression didn’t escape Cao Jinse’s notice.
We can only bla Madam Cao’s keen insight.
She first glanced at the bottle in Jiang Chen’s hand, then at her own.
And then.
A mont of silence followed.
Silence is the most beautiful bridge.
“You drank from this?”
After the silence, Cao Jinse asked, her voice calm and steady, without a trace of turbulence～
Jiang Chen, embarrassed, quickly explained, “I swear, it was totally unintentional, both bottles were together, I accidentally grabbed the wrong one.”
Hmm.
This explanation was very thorough, very convincing.
Cao Jinse said nothing.
“Besides, no one will know.”
Jiang Chen, lacking confidence, muttered softly, still maintaining that sa logic, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know!
Cao Jinse nodded, seemingly in agreent, and just as Jiang Chen was about to sigh in relief, she suddenly attacked, swinging the bottle toward Jiang Chen’s head.
Luckily, Jiang Chen had quick reflexes far beyond the ordinary, deftly stepping aside to dodge.
“I really didn’t do it on purpose…”
Cao Jinse wouldn’t listen to his explanations, gritting her teeth, holding the bottle she got up to chase after him.
Her leg must be fine now.
Seeing the situation turning sour, Jiang Chen dared not continue to argue, nor was there ti for it, so he hastily turned around to flee.
Cao Jinse pursued relentlessly, in silence, without shouting for him to stop, just chasing quietly.
The chase scene was fully captured by the two girls who had finally managed to find their way.
“Shh.”
Youmao quickly grabbed Tanki Liuli’s wrist.
“Let’s take another round.”
Tanki Liuli looked at her.
“Otherwise, whom should we help?”
In terms of emotional intelligence, the petite Youmao was undoubtedly the winner, leading Tanki Liuli away stealthily, tiptoeing out.
