Falling in Love With My Arranged-Marriage Husband-Chapter 153 - 127: Don’t Worry, I’m Not Your Rival in Love
Chapter 153 -127: Don’t Worry, I’m Not Your Rival in Love
The mid-July sun was harsh and scorching, especially after the torrential rain.
Ji Sang’s neck burned painfully.
Zhang Quan reached out to take the camera and tilted his chin slightly,
“Goddess, there’s a team of volunteer doctors over there, why don’t you go have a look, they might have some medication for sunburn.”
The torrential rain hadn’t caused much damage to the dam, at least for now. Wang Feng didn’t need to continue reporting, seeing Ji Sang hesitate, he chuckled,
“Ji, you should go. It’s alright for us guys to get a bit sunburned, but not you. I have nothing else to do, I’ll take over the shooting.”
Wang Feng was originally a photographer, but he switched to journalism after injuring his shoulder and could no longer continue as a photographer.
So Ji Sang did not decline.
The recent torrential rain had soaked her completely, and now under the blazing sun, her drenched clothes clung tightly to her skin, making her feel like she was in a steamer.
The skin on her neck was burning hot.
The sunscreen she had applied before leaving home was practically ineffective, washed away by the rain.
She entered one of the two tents occupied by the volunteer doctors randomly,
“Hello.”
Lin Jiao, who was sorting the medications, turned around when she heard the voice, stood up and casually tied up her hair,
“Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
She walked over as she spoke.
When she saw Ji Sang’s face, her gaze paused for a moment, unconsciously sizing her up.
Even though she was drenched and looked somewhat disheveled, the clarity and openness in her eyes, as well as her overall demeanor, had not faltered.
She was a formidable rival.
Lin Jiao coughed slightly, straightened her back and casually brushed away the stray hairs on the side of her face,
“Ji Sang?”
Ji Sang moved her eyebrows slightly and tilted her head slightly to look at the doctor in front of her, sure she had never seen her before.
“Do we… know each other?”
“First time meeting, but…”
Lin Jiao gestured for Ji Sang to sit down,
“Everyone has been saying that a beautiful female photographer arrived.”
After finishing, Lin Jiao smiled lightly at Ji Sang,
“Where does it feel uncomfortable?”
Driven by a woman’s intuition, Ji Sang clearly sensed an inexplicable hostility from the doctor. This was their first meeting.
Ji Sang arched her eyebrows, paying no attention to this, and sat down, exposing the skin at the back of her neck.
“I might have gotten sunburned here.”
Lin Jiao put on gloves and examined it briefly,
“The sun in July is harsh; sunscreen isn’t very effective. You still need physical protection. After you go back, wash and apply this medication to the skin, keep your hair tied up to expose it, and it should heal in a few days.”

Lin Jiao treated Ji Sang in a straightforward manner. The close observation allowed her to appreciate Ji Sang’s beauty more clearly.
Not only was her bone structure attractive, but even her skin was of the type that made other women jealous.
Lin Jiao lowered her eyes, collected her emotions, and casually asked while turning to find the medication,
“Do you… know Mr. Yan?”
Ji Sang now had an inkling of an answer.
Between two women who don’t know each other, unless there’s a rapport, they wouldn’t discuss irrelevant matters. Moreover, this irrelevant matter was also related to a man.
For some reason, images of yesterday’s scene at the camp suddenly popped into Ji Sang’s mind.
The man Big Brother met… Could it be her?
The gossip-seeker within Ji Sang began to stir slightly, but she didn’t respond directly to Lin Jiao’s question. Instead, she countered,
“Do you know him?”
Ji Sang had casually asked this question. Normally, she’d call Yan Jin “Big Brother,” but now she kept some thoughts back, wanting to explore the relationship between this doctor and Yan Jin, so she used “him” instead.
However, this “him” carried a different meaning in Lin Jiao’s ears.
Ji Sang referring to Yan Jin in such a manner also indicated that their relationship couldn’t be distant.
Lin Jiao’s heart skipped a beat.
After all her efforts to guard this cabbage, to protect this old rock, could it really have been breached by another woman?
After finding the medication, Lin Jiao flicked her fringe, the panic in her eyes had already dissipated, and her lips curled into a smile,
“Of course, if not for this darn rock being here, why would I bother suffering like this?”
“Stinky stone?”
Ji Sang softly repeated the three words. Lin Jiao, like a girl whose heart’s secrets were exposed, suddenly became shy. Her eyes lowered, her cheeks slightly red.
“Ahem… Sorry, I misspoke.”
Ji Sang: ….
Guessing correctly in his heart, perhaps influenced by Fu Yisi; Ji Sang also had a bit of a teasing intention.
“Are you a couple?”
Lin Jiao did not expect Ji Sang to be so straightforward.
“We haven’t reached that stage yet.”
“So, you’re still in the ambiguous period?”
Ji Sang nodded, remembering Yan Jin’s smile, it was obvious to guess why the two were still stuck at this stage.
Older brother… probably doesn’t understand much about emotional matters.
Neither of them is proactive, so naturally, their relationship cannot progress.
However, with Yan Jin’s character, once he commits to someone, it’s for a lifetime.
So, this doctor must be my future sister-in-law.
Ji Sang pulled back his thoughts and shook the ointment in his hand.
“Thank you, doctor. What’s your name?”
Lin Jiao paused for a moment before giving her name. Just as Ji Sang was about to leave, he saw the expression on her face and, with a smirk, whispered in her ear,
“Don’t worry, I’m not your love rival.”
Saying that, he turned and walked away.
Lin Jiao: ??????
Watching Ji Sang’s dashing departure, Lin Jiao shifted her gaze onto the man still giving orders and cursed under her breath,
“Stinky stone.”
….
After Ji Sang arrived at the hotel, the first thing he did was take a shower. Besides his neck, his wrists and ankles were sunburned to varying degrees.
After applying the ointment, Ji Sang then video-called Fu Yisi.
After the call connected, before Ji Sang could share anything, the man directly asked,
“Did it rain heavily there today?”
Ji Sang was stunned initially, then remembered that the weather could be checked on the phone, and nodded,
“It was heavy, the military has started moving out.”
Fu Yisi suddenly snorted,
“Going up the mountain alone?”
Ji Sang: ….
“How did you know?”
Ji Sang widened his eyes.
Could it be, Yan Jin told Fu Yisi everything?
Ji Sang guiltily touched his nose,
“Why does older brother tell you everything?”
The man gently tapped on the table,
“So this is you taking good care of yourself, huh?”
Ji Sang felt somewhat unconvinced,
“I went when the weather was fine, and I didn’t climb very high.”
“Hmm.”
The man nodded slightly, then looked at her light-heartedly,
“And then let another man pick you up?”
His gaze was faint, his tone was cold.
He seemed nonchalant, but the jealousy, despite hundreds of miles away, still transmitted through the phone screen.
Ji Sang held back a smile,
“No, Xiao Feng came over because he saw it was about to rain; he came of his own accord.”
Fu Yisi’s gaze darkened, and he coolly responded,
“Oh?”
