Xue Lin had a headache. Her heart also felt sore. She didn"t like it when others were ogling her husband. She couldn"t tell them to back off. But she couldn"t just brush it off either. Realizing the jealousy inside her heart she was surprised. "I never thought I was the possessive type." She frowned deeply. "This isn"t good. If I cling onto him while not letting him do the same, that"s hypocritical of me. I don"t want him to be possessive of me. Then why should I act like that myself? We are equal, equal, equal…"
"Miss Xue Lin, are you alright?" Susu saw her expression and got worried.
Xue Lin"s chain of thoughts broke. "Huh? Yeah, I"m fine." She handed her the picture. "I hope Xiao Rong won"t find this photo. He might misunderstand it."
Susu took the photo and requested, "I know. I won"t tell him. Let"s keep it a secret between us."
"I would love to." Xue Lin would never disclose it to anyone. She wants to forget that she has heard any of the fan club things.
After Susu left, Xue Lin couldn"t stay in her room and walked out. Most of the students were in the cla.s.s. She walked in the empty corridor and somehow ended up in the room of the security guards. The security room was in the corner of the corridor. This area was dark. There was no surveillance camera here and no one came to this place since it was forbidden for the students to come here. Ge Chen and two other guards were in the room. One of them was looking at the surveillance footage on the big screen.
Looking at Ge Chen"s face, Xue Lin thought, "When I saw him in disguise, I recognized him right away. Even though he changed his face a little, there is no way he can change his aura around him. What if the students recognize him when he is without a mask?" The thought that female students were stalking him made her feel weird. She frowned again. "Why the h.e.l.l am I getting jealous?"
Ge Chen saw her outside the room and got up. He went outside and stood right in front of her. "What"s wrong?" he asked. He reached out and rubbed her head. He knew she liked it when he did it.
Xue Lin raised her head and looked at him in the eyes. "I have a question for you."
"What do you want to know?"
"Suppose some male students are fans of mine and they created a fan club for me and stalked me and secretly took photos and then sold them among the teachers. Will you feel bad?"
"Do you want me to be honest?"
"Yes."
"I"ll feel so bad that I will lose my sleep. I know I cannot tell you to change school and so I can only keep such selfish thoughts to myself. But you are mine and mine alone. I want to monopolize you and I don"t want others stalking you or fantasizing about you."
Xue Lin looked away. "Okay, I understand. I"ll go first." She didn"t let him the chance to say anything else and left quickly. Her head repeatedly recalled his words "you are mine and mine alone". She had a buzzing feeling in her heart and it spread everywhere making her feel hot.
In front of the teachers" room, Xue Lin collided with a male teacher. "Miss Xue Lin, are you alright? Your face is red. Do you have a fever?"
Xue Lin shook her head absentmindedly. "N-no, I"m alright." She went back to her room and checked her face in the mirror. Her face was indeed red. "What am I feeling happy about...? Wait, am I happy or embarra.s.sed? Or both? What is wrong with me?!" Her heart raced and she took a deep breath. She touched her chest and thought, "I think I"m having a permanent heart disease."
When they were returning home, Ge Chen asked her, "Why did you ask something like that? Have the male students stalked you?"
"Oh no, it"s the opposite. The female students are stalking you." Xue Lin stayed calm when she spoke.
"I know, I"m trying my best to avoid them. Maybe I should"ve disguised as an ugly person." Ge Chen said. He looked troubled when he asked, "Are you upset? Does it bother you?"
"No, not at all." Xue Lin replied. Her eyes were on the road.
"You are not honest, are you? Your hand is holding mine tightly." Ge Chen looked at their hand. He didn"t understand at first why she wanted to hold his hand while driving but now he knew. The more casually she spoke to him regarding this matter, the more her hand grasped his hand tightly.
Cue Lin frowned realizing her thoughts were exposed. "Why? Can"t I hold your hand? You are mine and mine alone." She tried to act normal but her cheeks were turning red bit by bit. She knew she shouldn"t have thoughts like that when she didn"t have any romantic feelings for him but since he said that she was his alone, then there was no problem for her to think of him as hers.
Ge Chen was surprised when he heard her words and looked at her with wide eyes. Seeing her flushed face, he smiled contently. "You are right. I"m yours." His heart was feeling fuzzy. Warm waves swept over his heart again and again washing away all his heavy thoughts.
Seeing the red signal, she stopped the car and looked at her cell phone. She felt too awkward to look at her husband right now. As she was browsing the internet, with a "ding" sound, she received a text. It was from Puja. She wanted to meet Xue Lin around six pm.
Xue Lin replied to her immediately. She thought that it would be better to meet her than staying with Ge Chen at home. She hastily said, "I"ll drop you at home. I want to go and meet a friend."
Ge Chen could understand that she was feeling too awkward. He agreed, "Sure. When will you come back?"
"Before dinner." She replied.
