Gold Medal Sweetheart

Watching his elders walk into the depths of the villa, Tang Xin turned around and glared at Jin Taize, "Didn't you say you were drinking?" he said in a bad tone.

"My stomach was not feeling well for the past two days, so I deliberately said I didn't drink it in front of my mother," said Jin Taize.

Tang Xin stared at his confident expression, unable to discern the truth. After hesitating for a moment, she glanced at him and muttered softly, "I don't know if it's true or not."

Jin Taize suddenly arched his waist and moved closer to her.

Tang Xin was startled and instinctively bent back to increase the distance between them. She didn't know she had such a nice waist.

But Jin Taize's forehead was almost close to hers, and his eyes forced her to have nowhere to hide. He said calmly: "Don't you have a time to tell a lie?"

Tang Xin was speechless for a long time because of his questioning. She was so guilty that she couldn't speak. "No - it's getting late. I have to go."

Tang Xin turned and was about to leave. She couldn't bear to stay even a second longer. Jin Taize grabbed her arm with one hand and raised his other hand slightly, signaling the driver to drive closer.

"No need to send me off," Tang Xin said, "I was just worried that Auntie would worry. I can really take the bus back."

"I can't let my girlfriend go back like this," said Jin Taize.

"Do not……"

"You have three choices," she had just said a word when she was interrupted by Jin Taize, "A, the driver drives you home; B, I drive you home." Jin Taize deliberately stopped talking halfway.

"What about C?" Tang Xin asked expectantly.

"When you were talking about the harm of exhaust gas just now, you were pointing fingers at me." Having said that, Jin Taize paused again to observe Tang Xin's reaction.

Seeing his expression at that time, Tang Xin guessed that using him as a medical model made him unhappy, but there was no need to be petty and say it out loud.

"Why did you stop when you were pointing at my neck? Your eyes looked weird. You must have had some evil thoughts in your mind at that time." Jin Taize raised his eyebrows and looked down slightly, with a hint of ambiguity in his eyes. "So, option C is to stay."

"I choose A."

Tang Xin's eyes widened as she spoke without a second thought, but she spoke with extraordinary seriousness. She immediately opened the car door and got in. Although she didn't dare look at Jin Taize, the faint blush on her cheeks had already betrayed her in front of him.

Jin Taize supported the car window with his arms and bent down his handsome body, "I just asked you to stay here, I didn't say anything else. I think it shouldn't be difficult to find you a room in my house. You looked panicked when you heard the word C, which shows that your idea is really evil! But," he paused, "I am a man from a good family, you may not succeed." After that, he turned and left with a sly smile.

Tang Xin saw Jin Taize's arrogant back and felt like thrashing him to pieces. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes widened, and her fair hands clenched so tightly that the joints turned slightly pale. If it weren't for Yu Shan, she would have... But, just now, when she was staring into his eyes, she really seemed to have blacked out for a second...

Before she could figure out the reason for her short circuit, she heard the driver ask for her home address. After a pause, she finally gave the name of Yushan's neighborhood.

-

When Jin Taize pushed the door open, Jin's mother was still sitting on the sofa, waiting for him to come back.

Mother Jin asked Jin Taize to sit down quickly and asked with a smile: "You came home today, do you want to give me a surprise?"

Jin Taize sat down on the sofa, poured a cup of tea for Jin's mother, and said with a frown, "Mom, are all women so imaginative? I still say what I said before, I don't have any thoughts about Guan Yushan."

Jin's mother glanced at him, sneered, and didn't comment, but changed the subject, "Didn't they ask you to send it?"

After saying this, although Jin Taize's face remained normal, Jin's mother still keenly noticed that the flow of water in the teapot in Jin Taize's hand changed for a moment.

He put down the teapot, stood up, cleared his throat imperceptibly, and said, "I didn't go because I have a plan to review later." Then he turned and went upstairs.

Mother Jin lowered her head, pursed her lips and picked up the teacup. When the cup reached her lips, her smile had not completely disappeared.

After closing the door, the awkwardness of Tang Xin's direct rejection from outside resurfaced once again after his mother mentioned it. Jin Taize pressed two fingers between his eyebrows.

It was the first time he had ever experienced being rejected in person. It was a bit embarrassing.

Thinking of this, he felt a little depressed. So, he threw his suit onto the bed, fastened his tie with his fingers, loosened it hastily, and took it off, then suddenly sank into the sofa.

Jin Taize rested his elbows on his outstretched legs, his long back straight, lost in thought.

Although there may be many reasons for being rejected, he is a person who only cares about the results and not the process. As he thought about it, he folded the tie in his hand and held it in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, Jin Taize lowered his eyes and looked at his watch.

Driver Lao Zheng had been working for the Jin family for over ten years and had always been honest and conscientious in his work. However, Jin Taize still called Lao Zheng after estimating the time.

"Mr. Jin." Old Zheng answered the phone politely.

"Have the people been delivered?" Jin Taize asked.

"Miss Guan's home is in Fangyayuan. She has been delivered to it for a while." Old Zheng answered honestly.

Fangyayuan? That neighborhood where most high-ranking officials live?

Jin Taize pressed on: "Did you watch her go in?"

Lao Zheng touched his head and said, "Miss Guan said that her home is in a building close to the gate of the community and she wouldn't let me drive in. She was very friendly and insisted on watching me drive away before -" going in.

Before Old Zheng could finish his words, the other end of the line fell silent. Old Zheng rubbed his nose, feeling a little guilty about upsetting Young Master Jin. He was sometimes assigned to escort people, but it was rare for Young Master Jin to call specifically for this.

Picking up and dropping off passengers is a common job for drivers. Even if the driver has completed his mission by dropping them off at their destination, he wouldn't actually follow them to their doorstep. Besides, it was Miss Guan who insisted on letting him go first.

Seeing Jin Shao's reaction, Lao Zheng felt uneasy, but he didn't know what went wrong.

-

Only after watching the driver drive off did Tang Xin breathe a sigh of relief. If her home wasn't just an ordinary neighborhood in the city, and she wasn't afraid of arousing suspicion, she wouldn't be here now. Aunt Jin and Jin Taize insisted that the driver take her back, but she still had to take another bus to get home.

After taking the first bus, you can change to another bus, but it is only two stops away, so Tang Xin decided not to wait and planned to walk home.

As soon as she stepped off the bus, her cell phone rang. She pressed the answer button and a deep male voice slowly approached her ear. The man on the other end heard the slightly noisy sound and asked her in a somewhat unhappy tone why she hadn't gone home yet.

After a quick thought, she told him she wanted to take a walk. But he didn't seem to want to hang up, so they just started chatting. Whenever Tang Xin didn't know what to say, Jin Taize would always find a topic. For example, he'd ask her to tell him about the organization she volunteered for or her university life.

Before she knew it, Tang Xin had reached the door of her home and called out, "Mom, I'm home."

Jin Taize's response came from the other side, "That's it."

After hanging up, Tang Xin was still a little confused about what Jin Taize was up to. He'd been on the phone with her for nearly twenty minutes. After a moment's hesitation, she decided it was pointless to think about it. She decided to go to bed early. The night had been exhausting, and she felt like she was falling apart.

After washing up and getting into bed, Tang Xin lay there, staring at the ceiling and thinking back on the night. She felt like everything had gotten out of control since she agreed to go on a blind date for Yu Shan. Especially with Jin Taize, who was so unpredictable. Like tonight, when he'd asked her to take him home because he'd been drinking, but when they got home, he'd told Jin's mother he hadn't been drinking. But no matter what he said, she couldn't detect a single lie on his calm face. That was the scariest thing.

After thinking for a long time, she rolled her eyes, turned over and lay on the bed, and sent a message to Jin Taize, "If your stomach is not good, try not to drink."

Although this message may be a bit ridiculous and redundant, but after all, they have known each other for a while, a little kind reminder is still necessary. Although until now, she didn't know whether Jin Taize had actually drunk alcohol.

Her eyelids grew heavier, and just before her mind turned hazy, Tang Xin vaguely remembered that when she mentioned that she hadn't returned home yet, someone on the other end of the line had said, "Silly."

Very light.

Just as he got into bed, Jin Taize heard his phone ring. He picked it up and took a look. His gloomy face was like the sun breaking through the sky after the rain, clearing away the haze.

He was just saying it casually because he was drunk, and the stomachache was just an excuse.

If someone takes a joke seriously, that is indeed naive.

However, it might be a good thing if someone took his joke seriously.

He curled his lips and said "OK" readily.
