The streamer is incredibly popular, and the top spender on her is vying to pamper her.

Chapter 302 Spend More Time with Him

The next day.

The driver arranged by the Ji family came to pick up Jiang Zhouzhou early in the morning.

Since learning that Jiang Zhouzhou had bought him a painting at the auction, Grandpa Ji's face has been full of smiles, with wrinkles deepening.

Jiang Zhouzhou originally wanted to take a taxi herself, but because the distance was too far, Grandpa Ji arranged for a driver to pick her up directly.

In the back seat, Ji Yu'an looked even paler than the last time they met. When he saw Jiang Zhouzhou, he said gently, "Zhouzhou, Grandpa asked me to come and pick you up in person."

Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at him a few more times and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Why do you look so pale? Are you sick?"

Ji Yu'an smiled nonchalantly: "It's just a minor cold, I'm all better now, don't worry."

Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Jiang Zhouzhou couldn't help but feel sorry for his fragility.

The well-packaged painting was placed in the trunk, and Jiang Zhouzhou sat next to Ji Yu'an.

"Um... could you extend your left hand?" she asked somewhat shyly.

Ji Yu'an didn't ask her why, and directly raised his left hand and stretched it out in front of Jiang Zhouzhou.

The scar running through his palm was shocking, resembling a twisted and ugly centipede.

Jiang Zhouzhou glanced at the scar, then silently looked away.

She took out a woven green bracelet from her bag, with a bright green jade safety buckle in the center, and was decorated with gold beads and other colored jade beads, making it extremely beautiful.

"It was such a surprise when we met last time that I didn't get to give you the gift I had prepared, so I brought it with me today."

Jiang Zhouzhou picked up the bracelet and measured it against his wrist; the length was just right.

"I made this bracelet myself, I hope you like it."

After the guild competition ended, everyone's gifts were given, except for Ye Zi's.

It wasn't that she forgot, but Ye Zi said she hoped to give him the gift after he returned to Haicheng.

She bought the jade safety buckle at the same time as she was choosing a jade bracelet for Lin Wujing.

When Jiang Zhouzhou was chatting with Ye Zi on WeChat, she noticed that he seemed to be in poor health. She thought the peace buckle had a good meaning, and since his name also contained the character "An" (peace), she asked him for his wrist circumference and personally wove this bracelet.

Ji Yu'an's gaze fell on the bracelet, and a slight smile curved his lips: "I really like it. Can Zhouzhou help me put it on?"

Jiang Zhouzhou smiled and said, "Mmm."

With her fingertips tracing his warm skin, Jiang Zhouzhou focused intently as she put the necklace on him.

Ji Yu'an looked at her gentle eyes and brows, his fingers clenching slightly.

Green symbolizes vitality, and the tightly arranged dragon scales on his pale wrist resemble a vibrant vine.

Ji Yu'an opened his palm, revealing the ugly scar in its entirety.

"Does Zhouzhou want to know how she got this scar?"

Seeing that he brought it up, Jiang Zhouzhou's curiosity was piqued, so she nodded gently.

Ji Yu'an said calmly, "I paddled it myself."

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Zhouzhou's eyes widened suddenly.

Did you... draw that yourself?

Jiang Zhouzhou asked incredulously, "Why?"

The scar is deep, running from the base of his thumb to his wrist. It's clear that he used a lot of force to make it. It's hard to believe that he cut it himself with a knife!

Ji Yu'an lowered her eyes, which fell on her palm.

"When I was in school, there was a classmate who carried around a book on palmistry and went around reading other students' palms."

He said I had a short lifespan and would die young.

"So I used a knife to cut along my lifeline, thinking that if I made it longer, I wouldn't die young."

"Isn't that silly?"

When asked about his past foolish actions, Ji Yu'an laughed self-deprecatingly.

Jiang Zhouzhou frowned deeply. "It's not funny, but... it's really silly."

For someone who has been frail and sickly since childhood, he longs for a healthy body more than anyone else.

A joke from someone else can be an indelible wound for him.

"No matter what happens, you must not hurt yourself."

Ji Yu'an turned to look out the window, watching the scenery rushing past. He clenched his left hand to cover the scar and said in a nonchalant tone, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, no one cares about me except my grandfather."

Jiang Zhouzhou opened her mouth, but the words she wanted to say remained unspoken. Finally, she whispered, "We're friends, and I'll feel sorry for you too..."

They were very similar, although he was luckier than me, having a loving grandfather, but...

Jiang Zhouzhou felt even luckier because she had a healthy body.

Upon hearing Jiang Zhouzhou's words, Ji Yu'an's eyes trembled slightly, his crimson lips pressed into a tight straight line, and finally curved slightly upwards.

“I was very happy when someone told me for the first time that we are friends.”

He turned around, his gaze returning to Jiang Zhouzhou, and suddenly said, "Zhouzhou, can I redeem my reward now?"

Mentioning this, Jiang Zhouzhou sat up straight. "Well, what kind of reward do you want? If I can do it, I will do it for you."

Perhaps it was because of his gentleness that Jiang Zhouzhou couldn't help but soften her heart towards him, and unconsciously felt pity for him.

Ji Yu'an said slowly, "I want you to treat me better."

The unexpected answer left Jiang Zhouzhou slightly taken aback.

"Besides my grandfather, you are the other person who treats me the best, so I can't help but be a little greedy and want you to treat me even better."

"May I?"

His dark, bright eyes looked at her expectantly.

Jiang Zhouzhou met his gaze and finally nodded: "Well, but... what would be better for you?"

It sounds simple, but in practice... it seems like a difficult problem.

Ji Yu'an smiled gently: "Spend more time with me! I've always been surrounded by doctors and caregivers. Zhouzhou is my first friend, and I want to experience the feeling of being accompanied by a friend more."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Zhouzhou, who had initially only felt pity, now felt genuine heartache.
