C244 The Shy Girl the Unspeakable Secret

"Lin Dong, when did you meet the gorgeous Jiang Keke?"

"Yeah, spill the beans to your bros!"

"Man, you're incredible, always one step ahead!"

Tian Chao, Liu Wenming, and Zhou Hengyu approached from behind, chiming in.

They had previously been in awe of Jiang Keke's beauty and poise when Lin Dong mentioned he knew her.

Now, Jiang Keke herself had confirmed her connection to Lin Dong.

This revelation immediately sparked everyone's curiosity!

Ma Chenchen was particularly fixated on Lin Dong, eager to hear his response.

Lin Dong looked around at the encircling crowd with a sense of resignation.

He explained, "It's really not that complicated. I just happened to help Jiang Keke out when she ran into some troublemakers on the street. Since she was coming to our school, we ended up walking to the campus gate together."

Lin Dong recounted their encounter.

After hearing his story, Tian Chao, Liu Wenming, and Zhou Hengyu all nodded in understanding.

"So that's how you met!"

"You two must be destined!"

"Hey, Lin, you shouldn't have handled it alone. Next time there's trouble, call us to back you up! You shouldn't have to face it by yourself," one of them remarked.

"Exactly, it's lucky you were there to fend off the thugs. It could have been dangerous!"

"We can't let this happen again!"

...

The three friends voiced their thoughts, each expressing concern and goodwill.

Lin Dong just laughed, clearly not moved by their sentiments.

It would be surprising if these guys were genuinely worried about him—they were probably just feeling a mix of irritation and envy!

Indeed, that was the case.

Tian Chao, Liu Wenming, and Zhou Hengyu were all feeling a mix of annoyance and jealousy, envying Lin Dong's good fortune.

They thought to themselves that if they had been the ones to chase off the thugs, they might be the ones by Jiang Keke's side now!

Of course, that would require having the ability to do so.

They grumbled about this privately, choosing not to voice their thoughts.

After all, speaking up would only serve to expose their pettiness and bring no real benefit.

They decided to wait until Lin Dong was back in the dorm to grill him for the full story!

When the time comes, perhaps I'll learn something new and maybe even meet a beautiful woman by chance. That wouldn't be too shabby!

The truth about Lin Dong and Jiang Keke's relationship has finally come to light.

Ma Chenchen breathed a sigh of relief.

She said, "Lin Dong, you've really got some nerve, but don't think you can use this as leverage to bully Keke. I won't stand for that!"

Jiang Keke quickly gestured with her hands, "No way, Lin Dong is a good guy. I don't even know how to thank him enough! How could he ever bully me?"

"See, Keke herself says I'm a good guy! Could you tone it down a bit? You seem really off today," Lin Dong said to Ma Chenchen, his eyes conveying his exasperation.

Ma Chenchen had been on edge all day, taking issue with everything he did!

Ma Chenchen rolled her eyes and retorted, "You're the one who's off. Keke, remember, I'm the class sports representative. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll have your back!"

"Alright, thanks," Jiang Keke replied, blushing and nodding.

Class was about to start, and everyone took their seats.

After their recent conversation, Jiang Keke felt much more at ease.

Yet she couldn't help but steal glances at Lin Dong now and then, her eyes sparkling slightly.

Just then, Jiang Keke's phone buzzed with a notification. She discreetly checked it and her brow furrowed.

An anonymous message read, "Keke, I'm at Jiangyang University. Where are you? I'm coming to find you!"

Jiang Keke bit her lip and typed a hasty reply, "Stop harassing me. I've moved to Jiangyang with my parents. If you keep this up, I'm calling the police!"

"You can call the police, but I won't give up. Do you have a boyfriend now? I'll make sure he regrets it!" came the swift and menacing response.

Jiang Keke's fingers trembled as she typed back, "Don't do anything rash!"

"Fine, haha, if you agree to be my girlfriend, I'll leave you alone," the message arrogantly taunted.

Jiang Keke clenched her teeth so hard that she left an indent on her lip.

She lifted her gaze to meet Lin Dong's eyes.

She was eager to confide her troubles to Lin Dong and seek his assistance.
