Chapter 87: Yujie Delivers the Personal Safety Kit

Jian Yiling chose not to have Cheng Yi and the others escort her home. Instead, she acted as if nothing had happened, quietly getting into the car when it arrived at the school gate, accompanied by Old Madam Jian. By that time, the flowers, balloons, and banners that had decorated the entrance had all been swiftly removed under Luo Xiuwen's orders. Everything appeared normal, and Jian Yiling was intentionally keeping the recent incident from her grandmother's knowledge. As a result, Old Madam Jian couldn't sense anything amiss from Jian Yiling's demeanor.

Upon arriving at the Jian family home, they spotted Jian Yujie, who was out of breath and looked as if he had just sprinted over. Old Madam Jian quickly instructed the driver to stop and opened the door to inquire, "Yujie, what's going on? Why did you come running over?"

It was a Tuesday, so Jian Yujie should have been at school. "I had the driver bring me here," he replied, his gaze fixed on Jian Yiling.

Jian Yujie was already aware of what had transpired at Shenghua High School; Yu Xi had sent him a message about the incident. Initially, Yu Xi had thought that Jian Yiling had become a target for some unsavory characters, and it was essential for him to inform Jian Yujie. He feared that keeping such news from Jian Yujie would damage his credibility in front of him. What Yu Xi hadn't anticipated was that after sending the message, he had been dragged out by Zhai Yunsheng, who had taken matters into his own hands.

As soon as Jian Yujie received the message from Yu Xi, he was eager to rush over. However, he still had half an hour left before class ended. During that time, he sat in his classroom, fidgeting with impatience. Just the thought of some questionable guy trying to make a move on his sister made him furious. After all, how old was she? She was far too young to be dating! Even if she were of the right age, a lowlife like that should never even think about approaching her! Anyone with such a dubious character must be kept at a distance from his sister.

When the school bell finally rang, Jian Yujie bolted from the classroom. Once in the car, he instructed the driver to take him straight to the Jian family residence. He had intended to go directly to Shenghua High School, but as he pressed Yu Xi for details during the drive, Yu Xi informed him that the situation had already been resolved.

"Is there something urgent?" Old Madam Jian asked, sensing the urgency in Jian Yujie's demeanor.

"It's nothing serious. I just brought a little something for Yiling," Jian Yujie replied as he pulled a large bag from the trunk and handed it to Jian Yiling.

Inside were various personal safety items he had purchased a couple of days earlier. Originally, he had planned to give them to her when he invited her over that weekend, but due to the unexpected incident, he decided to deliver them early.

As he handed the bag to Jian Yiling, Jian Yujie leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Keep some portable ones with you. If you ever encounter any suspicious characters, don't hesitate to teach them a lesson!"

After delivering the items, Jian Yujie waved goodbye to Old Madam Jian and Jian Yiling, needing to hurry home. He knew that if he went to the old house without his mother's prior permission, she would surely be displeased.

Once Jian Yujie left, Jian Yiling opened the "personal safety kit." Old Madam Jian, curious, leaned in to see what her grandson had rushed over to deliver. As she looked at the assortment of alarm devices and pepper sprays designed for personal protection, she couldn't help but chuckle. "What on earth is this boy thinking?" 

Most of these items would likely go unused. After all, Jian Yiling was always accompanied by her grandmother whenever she left school, so when would she ever encounter a wolf? The thought was both amusing and a little endearing, revealing just how much Jian Yujie cared for his sister's safety, even if his methods seemed excessive.
