Chapter 390: In Her Arms
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He already had a brief understanding of Bai Lin’s past, but he also knew that she was just a young girl in her twenties. She was no different from the young girls one could see on the streets.
Sometimes, she was as shy as Ruan Jing, sometimes as delicate and cute as Chu Yi, and sometimes as free and frank as Meng Lan. She even displayed a maturity and experience that did not match her age.
However, just because Bai Lin could handle everything on her own, it did not mean she should always do everything alone. It did not mean she did not need the care and concern of others.
When Yan Ruo received the call from Granny that day, he was actually very surprised.
“Xiao Yan, you’ve been on variety shows with Xiao Lin for such a long time. Do you have a good impression of her?”
Granny threw out such an overly straightforward question after a simple greeting, causing Yan Ruo to be somewhat surprised.
“Yes, Granny. I really like Xiao Lin.” He was loyal to his heart and gave Granny an extremely honest answer.
Granny smiled on the other end of the phone and said, “l want Xiao Lin to participate in a dating variety show. Can I ask you to go to that show and help me take care of her?”
He had no way to refuse such a request.
Bai Lin leaned against the car window and closed her eyes to rest. Her long eyelashes casted a beautiful shadow like the wings of a butterfly.
Even though this was not the first time Yan Ruo had seen Bai Lin sleep so defenselessly, he would always be captivated by her quiet and peaceful appearance.
Her unforgiving pink lips were closed at this time, but they were just as cute in his eyes when they spoke harsh words to others.
From the side, Bai Lin’s back was very thin, and her shoulders were as thin as a regular girl’s. Even though she had a very good fitness habit and years of being a mercenary had given her a killing and attacking skills that did not match her appearance, Yan Ruo always felt that she deserved more when he observed her closely. She deserved all the good things.
He was willing to do his best to present those things to her.
He wanted to see more smiles on Bai Lin’s face. He wanted her to protect the people she loved then come back to him to rely on him.
When the bus was about to reach the entrance of the supermarket, Meng Lan’s sharp eyes noticed something unusual.
“Hey, it’s Monday today. Does everyone not have work? Why are there so many people at the supermarket?”
Yan Ruo looked over and saw that some of the people were holding up signs.
He was very familiar with them. Those signs had his name on them.
It seemed like they were going to be blocked by the fans.
He first considerately explained the situation to everyone in the bus and explained the possible congestion that might occur next.
“l saw that many of them are my fans. It’s very easy for fans to camp out at a live variety show like this. Be sure to pay attention to your safety when you get off the bus. It’s very dangerous as congestion and trampling could happen due to so many people.”
The guests and passengers expressed their understanding. Only Jian Xi had a look of horror on his face. He could only guarantee that he could communicate with people within normal social settings. He really could not handle being surrounded by so many strangers.
“Hey, little professor, do you need me to protect you later?”
Meng Lan put her hand on Jian Xi’s shoulder and flicked her long hair as she asked. She looked like a hooligan who was flirting with the prettiest girl in the class.
However, such a simple sentence touched Jian Xi. In his eyes, Meng Lan’s image was instantly elevated by a few hundred times.
“Professor?” Ruan Jing was a little surprised. “So you’re a professor, Mr. Jian.”
She looked between Meng Lan and Jian Xi and smiled. “You two already know each other so well?”
This time, not only Jian Xi was embarrassed, but even Meng Lan was a little embarrassed.
As they talked and laughed, the bus stopped at the side of the road not far from the supermarket.
The moment the bus door opened, the passionate fans almost squeezed into the bus. The situation was even scarier than what Yan Ruo had described.
“Ah! Yan-ge! I love you, Yan-ge!” The fans’ cheers could be heard outside the door, and it poured in like a tide once the door was opened.
“Yan-ge, I’ve come especially for you! Yan-ge, look at me! Look at me!” There were even fans who were holding up their phones and taking pictures of Yan
Ruo.
“Yan-ge and Lin-jie look so good together! Are you guys wearing a couple outfit today?”
“Lin-jie herself is really not photogenic! Lin-jie, you’re so beautiful!”
