I will be jealous~
The next morning, when Yin Bai woke up, she was still concerned about the girl who had almost been violated in her hotel last night. She asked Zhang Yu to inquire about the police investigation results.
That girl who had almost been violated is a trainee from an entertainment company, and she is only seventeen years old this year.
It turned out that she caught the attention of a wealthy young man from the company, but after his unsuccessful attempts at courtship, she was lured to the hotel and narrowly escaped being r*pe.
Upon hearing this news from Zhang Yu, Yin Bai was absolutely furious. What’s more, Zhang Yu mentioned that the company even had a lawyer involved, trying to reach a settlement with the girl by offering her a sum of money.
Early in the morning, Yin Bai was seething with anger. While having breakfast at the table, she angrily scolded Zhang Yu over the phone, saying, “Offering money? Three hundred thousand? Hah, is that how they think they can just dismiss the girl like that?”
“Injecting drugs into someone, preventing them from undergoing drug rehabilitation, and hindering their practice! If Xiao Nian hadn’t stumbled upon this incident last night, that girl’s life would have been ruined!”
“Oh, so the young master of their family is a student and has a future, but the young girl doesn’t?”
Yin Bai gripped the fork tightly and forcefully stabbed it into the egg. “I also have money, a tremendous amount of money. This matter cannot be settled so easily! Taking drugs and r*ping a girl in my hotel, they are asking for death!”
“You tell that girl that I will support her, I will protect her, and Starlight Entertainment means nothing!”
“Take legal action against him! I want him in jail!”
Zhang Yu sensed the anger in Yin Bai’s words and quickly tried to appease her, saying, “Boss, calm down, calm down.”
“He’s just a little piece of garbage, not worth your anger. I will handle the matter properly, so don’t worry.”
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yu suggested to Yin Bai, “Here’s what we can do. I’ll first inquire about the girl’s opinion and then stay in Haicheng to handle this matter for her. You still need to go back early to meet with Teacher Zuo, right? I’ve already booked your flight ticket for today. How about you go back to Tibet to see Teacher Zuo first?”
Yin Bai’s temples throbbed with anger, but in the end, she nodded and said, “Okay.”
To emphasize her stance, she solemnly told Zhang Yu, “I know that in this world, there are many filthy things that I cannot see. Business is business, and coercion is coercion. Since that girl is not willing, and since she appeared right in front of me, I cannot turn a blind eye.”
She wasn’t a purely good person, but she understood that certain things require mutual willingness and clear benefits. Just like when she and Xiao Nian had their arrangement, each taking what they needed.
Zhang Yu nodded earnestly, saying, “Okay, don’t worry about this matter. I will handle it properly.”
Yin Bai trusted Zhang Yu’s abilities and didn’t say anything more. After giving her a few instructions, she had Jin Xiangyu send another secretary to pack her belongings and rushed to the airport in the afternoon to fly back to Zuo Jingyou’s side.
Exhausted from the journey and suffering from severe altitude sickness, Yin Bai collapsed on the way to the hotel and had no choice but to change into her pajamas and crawl into bed. While breathing in oxygen, she waited for Zuo Jingyou to return, planning to surprise her with a big surprise by suddenly popping out of the bed.
Around 8 o’clock in the evening, Zuo Jingyou, who had worked all day, returned to the hotel. The moment she turned on the living room lights, her pupils were occupied by surprise when she caught sight of Yin Bai’s jacket placed on the sofa.
Yin Bai came back early?
A surge of immense joy rushed into Zuo Jingyou’s heart, and she was eager to confirm the existence of this surprise.
So she cautiously bypassed the living room, twisted open the door, and carefully walked in.

One side of the room was pitch black, with dim light seeping through the window, casting a faint glow on the bed, outlining a bulging silhouette.
Zuo Jingyou walked over carefully and when she reached the bedside, she saw Yin Bai, wrapped in a blanket like a fuzzy caterpillar, with only her face exposed. In that moment, Zuo Jingyou’s heart suddenly melted into a softness.
She was wearing a thick down jacket, sitting by the bedside, quietly gazing at Yin Bai’s peaceful sleeping face in the dim light of the night, her eyes shimmering with joyful radiance.
She never expected that Yin Bai would only stay in Haicheng for two days and then return directly.
Especially after encountering the incident with Xiao Nian, Yin Bai didn’t stay in Haicheng to handle the aftermath but came straight to her. This level of importance made Zuo Jingyou feel that her jealousy last night was somewhat unreasonable.
Yin Bai… she really likes her… at least… in her heart, she doesn’t fall short compared to Xiao Nian.
But come to think of it, does she need to compare herself to Xiao Nian now?
When a person is in darkness, their mind tends to wander. Zuo Jingyou pondered for a while, gazing at Yin Bai’s adorable sleeping face with a faint smile. She reached out her hand from her pocket, intending to gently stroke Yin Bai’s face.
However, as her fingertips hovered above Yin Bai’s cheek, the icy sensation of her fingertips met the warmth emanating from Yin Bai, causing Zuo Jingyou to hesitate…
Her hand was too cold, and touching Yin Bai abruptly would surely wake her up.
Zuo Jingyou retracted her hand, sighing helplessly, thinking that she should take a bath first.
Zuo Jingyou got up from the bed, took off her outer garments in the darkness, and fumbled to hold the nightgown. She then cautiously turned on the bathroom light, proceeding to the bathroom to take a shower.
After a while, a faint sound of running water came from the bathroom.
The light seeping out from the bathroom added a hint of brightness to the dim room. In a half-awake state, Yin Bai vaguely heard faint sounds coming from the source of the light.
She had been walking and walking in her dark dream… Finally, she woke up from her slumber, groggily coming to her senses.
Yin Bai, wrapped in a blanket, took a moment to react on the bed, gradually regaining awareness and gradually hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
Bathroom? Sound of water?
Ah, it’s Zuo Jingyou who’s back.
Realizing this, Yin Bai instantly became awake. She lifted the blanket, got up from the bed in her thin pajamas, reached for the cane placed by the bedside, and hurriedly made her way to the bathroom, calling out as she walked, “Teacher Zuo… Teacher Zuo…”
Her voice was sweet and soft, sounding similar to a kitten.
Zuo Jingyou, who had just finished washing her hair, heard Yin Bai’s voice. She quickly wrapped herself in a towel and walked towards the bathroom door.
She pulled open the bathroom door, only to collide with Yin Bai who had arrived at the doorway. Zuo Jingyou looked at Yin Bai’s flustered appearance and raised her eyebrows with a smile, saying, “What’s wrong? Did I wake you up?”
Yin Bai, leaning on her cane, looked up and saw Zuo Jingyou standing in front of her, wrapped in a towel. Her mind immediately froze. Yin Bai raised her gaze and carefully examined Zuo Jingyou before her. She saw the other person’s wet long hair cascading over her shoulders, mischievous water droplets sliding down the ends of her hair, flowing into the deep valley formed by her collarbone. Her head, already muddled due to dizziness, buzzed loudly…
Oh no, she looks too beautiful!

Yin Bai was completely stunned.
Zuo Jingyou lowered her gaze, noticing Yin Bai staring intently at her body. She blinked her eyes and softly called out, “Yin Bai…”
Yin Bai nodded, but her gaze remained fixated on Zuo Jingyou’s chest.
Her gaze was intensely focused, even though they had gone through several rounds of exercises together, Zuo Jingyou couldn’t withstand such a gaze and her earlobes turned slightly red.
Zuo Jingyou sighed and had to use her finger to tap on Yin Bai’s forehead, biting her lip as she said, “Do you want to shower together? It’s too cold here, come in with me quickly.”
Yin Bai nodded vigorously, “Okay!”
Zuo Jingyou reached out and supported Yin Bai into the bathroom, guiding her into the bathtub.
After opening up to each other in the warm water, Yin Bai embraced Zuo Jingyou face to face, burying her face in Zuo Jingyou’s chest. She let out a howl and said, “Why didn’t you call me when you came back? I wanted to suddenly pop out of the bed and surprise you!”
Damn it, she didn’t tell Zuo Jingyou that she had come back early, wanting to surprise her! But her body gave out and she fell asleep, and now there’s no surprise at all!
Zuo Jingyou held Yin Bai’s head, indulging her antics, and raised her hand to rub her delicate ears, softly laughing, “When I found you in bed, I was pleasantly surprised.”
Zuo Jingyou embraced Yin Bai with both hands, placing a gentle kiss on her cheek, and looked down at her with tender eyes, saying, “Why did you come back so soon? Weren’t you supposed to stay in Haicheng for a few more days?”
Yin Bai loosened her mischievous teeth and looked up at Zuo Jingyou, her eyes shining as she said, “Because I missed Teacher Zuo!”
Zuo Jingyou pinched her neck and bit her lip, chuckling softly, “Didn’t we just video chat last night? Why do you still miss me so much?”
Yin Bai arched her eyebrows and smiled, “I only saw you, but I didn’t really get to embrace Teacher Zuo.”
“My longing can only be resolved with Teacher Zuo’s embrace!”
Zuo Jingyou rubbed her like a kitten and softly chuckled, saying, “Is that so? I thought you would stay in Haicheng today and have breakfast with Teacher Xiao Nian…”
Yin Bai looked up at Zuo Jingyou, blinking her eyes in confusion.
Seeing her puzzled look, Zuo Jingyou wanted to tease her even more. She raised her hand and caressed Yin Bai’s lips, smiling mischievously as she said, “What’s wrong? Don’t you remember? Last night, you even invited Teacher Xiao Nian to have a calming tea, saying something about her being frightened and inviting her to stay together… So, having breakfast together this morning and dealing with things together wouldn’t be too much, right?”
“You tell me, am I right or not?”
Oh no, why does she have an expression like she’s going to settle a score?
Yin Bai blinked her eyes and stuttered, “But… but last night, didn’t you say you were going to…” leave Xiao Nian, saying that friends should accompany each other?
Zuo Jingyou placed both hands on Yin Bai’s shoulders, tilted her head and looked at her, somewhat confused as she said, “Really? Did I say that?”
“Ah… I must be a very generous person. Apparently, I don’t feel jealous, sad, or upset when I see my girlfriend spending the night with her ex-girlfriend, in the same room, late at night…”
“I wouldn’t overthink, and I wouldn’t feel insecure…”
“Because my girlfriend said there’s nothing between them and she gave me a chance to trust her…”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
“So I should be generous and not make a big deal out of it…”
Zuo Jingyou sat in Yin Bai’s embrace, murmuring about last night’s events. She lowered her gaze and looked at Yin Bai’s dumbfounded expression, then raised her hand and gently tapped Yin Bai’s lips with her index finger, smiling as she said, “But I really love you, how could I not feel jealous?”
“Even though I can understand it logically, I still can’t help but feel jealous…”
“What should I do? I’m such a possessive person… Will you think I’m annoying, immature, and don’t trust you because of this?”
“Will you, as a result, stop loving me?”
Yin Bai shook her head vigorously, firmly holding Zuo Jingyou in her embrace, burying her face in her shoulder and saying in a muffled voice, “I’m sorry, Zuo Jingyou. There won’t be another time.”
Zuo Jingyou chuckled lightly, relaxing her entire body as she leaned against Yin Bai’s shoulder, smiling as she said, “Actually, it’s nothing. I just wanted to try… if being coquettish with you would work.”
And it turned out to be quite effective.
Yin Bai truly, deeply cared about her… Zuo Jingyou realized this once again and felt genuinely happy.
