She always said that she adored beauty, but if what happened with Jin Yu were to happen a second ti, even if it were still Jin Yu, she wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Seeing her so downcast, her eyes red and on the verge of tears, Jin Yu suddenly felt a lump in his throat.
The Xu Niannian he knew was like a cat with its hackles raised, always ready to bare her claws and teeth at him with sharp wit.
Plus, she was rather delicate, so even after he learned that her na wasn’t Xu Jiaojiao, he subconsciously preferred to call her Xu Jiaojiao.
He had never seen her look so aggrieved before.
Even when she was wronged during their blind date because of a misunderstanding, she glared at him with teary eyes.
Suddenly feeling a softness in his heart, Jin Yu unexpectedly felt a pang of pity.
Jin Yu automatically found a rational explanation for himself.
It was because she might be the woman he had hard that he felt pity.
“Enough about this, I’m going to check on my little brother,” said Xu Niannian as she stood up, trying to leave but was once again carried back to the bed by Jin Yu.
“What are you doing?” Xu Niannian was annoyed with him, and any positive feelings she had just developed were imdiately washed away.
Why was he still so overbearing and self-centered?
Couldn’t he give her a heads-up first?
Suddenly picking her up like that could scare soone, for heaven’s sake.
“Don’t want your feet anymore?” Jin Yu said coldly, with a rather serious tone: “You better behave.”
The first part of his statent extinguished Xu Niannian’s fury, but the second part instantly raised her hackles.
“How have I not behaved?”
“Would today’s incident have happened if you had?” Jin Yu curled his lips, his anger flaring every ti he thought about today’s events.
If he had been a mont later, she would have been assaulted by that man…
Just thinking about that man nearly touching her thigh made Jin Yu’s forehead burn with rage.
His tone beca aggressive as if he were about to lash out at Xu Niannian.
Xu Niannian felt wronged by his accusation: “How am I misbehaving?
I was just helping my friend.
Is it my fault for being beautiful?”
At that ti, Li Qingshui and that man were arguing so fiercely, and seeing that the man was about to hit Li Qingshui, she reflexively rushed out, without ti to think.
If she was at fault, it was only for not being calm enough and for not considering her own safety.
Because of a business partner, she and her brother had been put in danger.
Jin Yu couldn’t articulate why he was so angry, but every ti he thought of the scene he witnessed when he arrived at the store, his eyes bulged with fury.
“It’s not your fault; you should just wear a burlap sack over your head to prevent others from getting ideas,” he said.
Of course, Jin Yu knew it wasn’t her fault, but thinking of the scene where she almost got harassed, he felt a burst of anger trapped inside that he couldn’t vent.
Didn’t she realize how attractive her face was?
With no sense of safety, she’d rush forward at any provocation.
“What kind of twisted logic is that?
By your reasoning, are all rapists blaless and the fault lies with the won for being too pretty or dressing too well?” Xu Niannian retorted angrily.
Of course not, Jin Yu just wished she could
see just how attractive she was and hoped she would develop a sense of self-protection.
After all, the prettier the girl, the easier it is to attract the wrong kind of attention from n with ulterior motives.
Being beautiful isn’t wrong, but the world is full of people with bad intentions, and the mistake is not being cautious enough to protect oneself.
When the topic of rapists ca up, Xu Niannian’s emotions beca extrely agitated.
She not only thought of the incident with Jin Yu but also rembered the news about other won being victimized that she had seen in the future.
Beneath those news articles, she saw many people criticizing the victims for dressing provocatively, with very few blaming the criminals.
What kind of logic was that?
Just because soone has a good figure and dresses revealingly, do they deserve to be raped?
Everyone’s aesthetic for beauty is different, so what if soone loves to look beautiful and wants to dress nicely?
Is that wrong?
To the public, that’s considered revealing, but to the person themselves, it’s called sexy.
Instead of condemning the perpetrator for their ill intentions, people actually bla the victims, creating a distorted and harmful atmosphere.
Xu Niannian, emotionally agitated, refuted Jin Yu and suddenly stood up from the bed, wanting to argue the point with him.
But Jin Yu suddenly fell silent, looking at the furious Xu Niannian and abruptly said, “You seem to take it very personally?”
“Of course I do…”
The words she was about to blurt out stopped short; eting Jin Yu’s piercing eyes, Xu Niannian suddenly ca to her senses.
“Of course, I take it personally.
After all, if you hadn’t co today, I might have been hard.”
Her voice involuntarily softened.
