She’s like a mad dog right now

Jiang Xizhi was out of sorts the entire evening self-study period, either spaced out or thinking about how to ask Zhou Yining about the matter.

Even going home after evening classes, Jiang Xizhi was in a daze.

She got out of the car listlessly and went straight upstairs after entering the villa.

Seeing her daughter about to leave without a word, Liang Jing quickly stopped her.

“Zhizhi, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well? Why are you so listless?”

Jiang Xizhi had been thinking about Zhou Yining and Zhong Yumeng all night, and the more she thought about it, the more sour she felt.

The person she had been longing for was having dinner with someone she disliked. Just thinking about it made Jiang Xizhi feel aggrieved.

But this was a matter between friends, and Jiang Xizhi didn’t want her mother to overthink it.

With reddened eyes, she mumbled, “It’s nothing, just a little tired. I’m going upstairs first.”

With that, Jiang Xizhi went upstairs.

She listlessly went to the bathroom to take a shower, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

She also felt that this grievance came inexplicably. She and Zhou Yining were friends, but that didn’t mean Zhou Yining couldn’t make friends with others, but she just felt sour.

It was the same last time. She felt sour when she saw Zhou Yining explaining problems to other girls, but it wasn’t as bad as this time.

Jiang Xizhi casually washed her body and came out in her pajamas.

She briefly dried her hair and lay on the bed, staring at her phone in a daze.

She was wondering if Zhou Yining would talk to her that night, or if Zhou Yining would chat with Zhong Yumeng or other girls besides her.

Liang Jing felt that something was wrong with her daughter.

She got up and went to the second floor, knocked on Jiang Yueyi’s door, then turned the doorknob and walked in.

Jiang Yueyi was still processing documents on her laptop.

Seeing Liang Jing coming in, Jiang Yueyi asked in surprise, “Mom? Why are you here? It’s so late, haven’t you gone to rest?”

“Your sister was a bit off when she came back tonight, she was listless and seemed to have been wronged.”

As she spoke, Liang Jing seemed to remember something and said, “By the way, didn’t you say last time that you were going to ask Zhizhi’s two friends about who the ‘central air conditioner’ was? Did you find out?”

Jiang Yueyi shook her head.

“I asked, they said that Zhizhi hasn’t been close to any boys recently, and she hasn’t even gone to Zhang Ye much recently, but her relationship with Zhou Yining has been pretty good lately.”

“Isn’t that the girl who comes to our house to tutor her?” Liang Jing asked.

“That’s her. They said Zhizhi has been close to her recently,” Jiang Yueyi replied.

“That’s strange. It’s not like she was angered by a boy? I’ll go check again,” Liang Jing said.

“Okay, call me if you need anything, Mom,” Jiang Yueyi instructed.

“Don’t worry, I’ll go take a look first.” Liang Jing went downstairs, asked the maid to prepare warm milk, and took a glass of warm milk upstairs.

Liang Jing reached out and gently knocked on the door.

“Zhizhi, I brought you milk. I’m coming in.”

As she spoke, Liang Jing turned the doorknob and entered the door, then saw her daughter lying listlessly on the bed, her eyes fixed on the phone not far in front of her.

Liang Jing put the milk on the bedside table and asked softly, “Zhizhi? What are you doing? Did you quarrel with a friend?”

Jiang Xizhi shook her head.

She had a lot of things to say, but didn’t know who to talk to. Zhou Yining hadn’t sent her a WeChat message either.

Jiang Xizhi felt extremely wronged and couldn’t help but redden her eyes again.

“Mom, am I too possessive? Too clingy?”

Liang Jing’s heart skipped a beat. The way she was asking this, was her daughter really in love?

She suppressed her doubts and quickly comforted her.

“How could you be? Our Zhizhi is so beautiful and well-behaved, how could anyone think you’re clingy?”

Jiang Xizhi sniffed and looked at her mother with a aggrieved expression.

“My friend had dinner with someone else today, and I feel uncomfortable. I always feel that she should be my friend alone.”

Liang Jing was stunned for a moment, and felt even more that her daughter was in love.

She tentatively asked, “Is it a new male classmate you just met?”

Jiang Xizhi shook her head.

“It’s Zhou Yining, the girl who comes to my house to tutor me in math.”

Jiang Xizhi paused and continued.

“I always want her to be good to me only. When I see her being close to other girls, I feel sour.”

Liang Jing found it strange, but she was immediately relieved when she heard that it was a girl.

She laughed and said, “It’s normal to be possessive between friends, but you can’t stop people from making friends. Besides, she just had dinner with another classmate, it’s not like she’s not friends with you anymore. Why are you so sad?”

“I just feel uncomfortable. I don’t like her being with other people,” Jiang Xizhi said listlessly, hugging the quilt.

Liang Jing sighed. She didn’t expect her daughter to be so invested in making a friend.

When she had a good relationship with Yan Yuanyuan and Si Yaqing before, she didn’t see her like this.

“Then you should make it clear to her. Friends are supposed to understand each other. What’s the use of being unhappy on your own?”

Jiang Xizhi buried half of her face in the quilt and muttered softly.

“I’m afraid that if I say it, she’ll think I’m clingy. What if she doesn’t want to be friends with me anymore?”

“Oh my, what is it like, more careful than falling in love? If you miss her, send her a message, it’s better than worrying yourself here. Is my beautiful girl worth feeling sad?”

Liang Jing pinched Jiang Xizhi’s cheek and said with a light smile.

Her daughter was not in love, and her heart instantly relaxed.

“Okay.” Jiang Xizhi nodded her lips, and then clicked on Zhou Yining’s WeChat.

[What are you doing?]

After sending the message, Jiang Xizhi stared at the phone without blinking, but there was no response for a long time.

Jiang Xizhi’s mood dropped again, and she continued typing listlessly.

Jiang Xizhi: [Do you think I’m too clingy? (Cat is wronged jpg)]

After sending it, Jiang Xizhi kept playing with her phone, lying on the bed and not wanting to do anything.

Liang Jing found it strange. She wanted to meet Zhou Yining.

Why did she feel that her daughter’s soul was almost taken away by Zhou Yining?

This situation seemed a little wrong. She also had good friends, but she had never been like this to a friend.

“Maybe she’s busy? Why are you just waiting like this?” Liang Jing asked, seeing her daughter staring at her phone.

Jiang Xizhi nodded, “Okay.”

Liang Jing sighed, “Okay, then I’ll wait with you for a while.”

On the other side, Zhou Yining went to the internet cafe after separating from Tian Xue.

She inserted the USB drive that Zhong Yumeng had given her into the computer, first backing up the video to the cloud drive before clicking to check it.

The video was obviously taken secretly, shaking constantly.

Four girls were changing clothes in the locker room.

Zhou Yining glanced at it and thankfully everyone was wearing underwear.

Then the picture shook and didn’t leave the locker room until after a few people had finished changing clothes.

The video was very short, less than five minutes long.

Zhou Yining’s eyes darkened. This kind of video would indeed harm girls, especially after it was spread online.

She deleted the video and closed the computer, preparing to leave the internet cafe.

Zhou Yining glanced at her phone and saw a message notification.

She picked up her phone and clicked on WeChat, seeing that it was Jiang Xizhi talking to her, a message sent ten minutes ago.

Zhou Yining glanced at the message Jiang Xizhi had sent, and her eyes curved.

Zhou Yining: [How could I think you’re clingy? The clingy little fox is the cutest. (Pat pat cat jpg)]

Jiang Xizhi was still lying on the bed, listless.

When she saw Zhou Yining’s reply, her eyes immediately lit up.

Jiang Xizhi reached for her phone and started typing.

Jiang Xizhi: [Are you busy? Am I bothering you?]

Zhou Yining: [Not busy, just missing my little fox a bit]

Jiang Xizhi’s ears turned slightly red.

The little fox was her. Zhou Yining liked to call her little fox.

Jiang Xizhi’s eyebrows curved, and the sourness in her heart instantly reduced by more than half.

She quickly typed a reply to Zhou Yining.

Jiang Xizhi: [I miss you a bit too. (Cat sticks jpg)]

Jiang Xizhi: [By the way, I heard from a classmate that you had dinner with Zhong Yumeng tonight?]

After asking, Jiang Xizhi rubbed her hands anxiously, waiting for Zhou Yining’s reply.

Zhou Yining didn’t expect that someone Jiang Xizhi knew would see her having dinner with Zhong Yumeng, but it wasn’t a big deal, it was just a meal.

Zhou Yining: [Yes, we ran into each other and had dinner together. Zhong Yumeng happened to be holding a seat, otherwise I would have had to wait half a day for a place.]

What Zhou Yining said was also the truth.

There were many students eating in the cafeteria at night, and seats in the cafeteria were very popular.

It was difficult to find a place to sit by yourself.

Jiang Xizhi: [Oh, I see.]

Zhou Yining: [Yes. Are you tired from school today?]

Jiang Xizhi: [It’s okay, I just finished showering and I’m about to sleep.]

Zhou Yining: [That’s good. I just got home too. I took a detour to buy something, hehe. You should rest early, I’m going to take a shower.]

Jiang Xizhi: [Okay, see you tomorrow. (Cat rub jpg)]

Zhou Yining: [See you tomorrow.]

Jiang Xizhi happily put down her phone. It turned out that they just ran into each other and ate together.

She had been sour for nothing all night.

Jiang Xizhi happily rolled around on the bed twice, hugging the quilt.

When she looked up, she saw that her mother hadn’t left yet.

She asked in confusion, “Mom, why haven’t you left yet?”

The corner of Liang Jing’s mouth twitched.

She had watched the whole thing.

Just now, she even saw the girl chatting with that girl named Zhou Yining.

With a few words, she coaxed her daughter into a good mood.

Liang Jing also found it strange, and felt that something was wrong.

Was this how friends talked to each other? Or did she not understand these young people?

“Okay, I’m leaving now. Drink the milk before you sleep. It shouldn’t be too hot now.”

Seeing that her daughter was better, Liang Jing naturally didn’t stay any longer.

“Okay, I know, Mom,” Jiang Xizhi responded, got up and picked up the milk, drinking it all in a few gulps.

Now that she wasn’t feeling sour, she felt that the milk tasted better than before.

Liang Jing shook her head as she watched her daughter.

It wasn’t until she returned to her room that she realized what was wrong.

Her daughter’s state was no different from being in love.
