The first time they discovered their shared sensation was when they were eight years old.
Jiang Lijin had been in a car accident and nearly died. At that very moment, Jiang Si also felt the same pain.
Only in such extreme situations would their shared sensation occur.
After that, it happened once or twice more.
It rarely affected their lives as twins.
Jiang Si cursed under his breath.
But this time was different. Very different.
When they handled their own needs privately, this had never happened before.
Water streamed down his tense back as waves of unfamiliar heat surged through him.
The feeling was strange—too strange.
It wasn’t his own desire. It carried a sense of satisfaction followed by deep, lazy relaxation.
The scalp-tingling sensation made him realize that his brother had definitely done something indecent.
“Damn…”
He muttered, turning off the shower and carelessly wrapping a towel around his waist. His chest rose and fell sharply.
“Jiang Lijin, what the hell did you do out there?!”
Through gritted teeth, Jiang Si stared at his reflection. His face was identical to his brother Jiang Lijin’s—
Yet now it was flushed with uncontrollable heat and restless desire.
His brother—the man who had always seemed immune to women—had actually fallen for someone.
And somehow, it had affected him too.
【Wait… is this what I think it is?】
【Shared sensation? So Jiang Si experienced everything Jiang Lijin and Jingran went through?】
【Hahaha, he shared his brother’s pleasure, didn’t he?】
【The pleasure belonged to his brother. He got nothing.】
【Jiang Si: Did my brother lose his purity? Hahaha…】
【So he can feel it but can’t have it himself?】
【What a feast—I’m enjoying this!】
【If they both held Jingran at the same time, would that mean double the experience?】
【Just thinking about it—mind-blowing!】
Jiang Si stepped out of the bathroom and shook his wet hair.
He picked up his phone to call Jiang Lijin and demand answers, but his finger hovered over the screen before stopping.
What was he supposed to ask?
“Brother, did you sleep with a woman?”
Or—
“When you’re enjoying yourself, can you at least try not to let it affect me?”
Both sounded insane. If he actually said that, his brother might kill him.
In the end, Jiang Si sent a more indirect message:
【Brother? Did you participate in the game? Did you find my sister-in-law?】
After sending it, he threw himself heavily onto the sofa.
The towel loosened.
His chest muscles were well-defined, his body strong and disciplined. As heirs born with every advantage, they had always maintained superior physiques.
His eight-pack abs were arranged neatly, still glistening with water.
Below that, the sharp lines of his hips disappeared beneath the loose towel.
The heat inside him had not fully subsided. If anything, it intensified.
“I give up…”
Jiang Si leaned back against the sofa, throat bobbing as he closed his eyes.
Resigned, he reached out a hand.
He hated this inexplicable shared sensation.
But he couldn’t resist his own physical instincts.
Blurry images flashed uncontrollably in his mind.
The girl soaked by water, trembling like a fragile seedling in an empty room.
The way she obediently changed into the clothes he had chosen for her…
Her bright eyes filled with surprise, dependence, and a soft smile.
“Jiang Si, thank you…”
“Xu Jingran…”
Without realizing it, Jiang Si whispered her name.
At the final moment.
Annoyed, he covered his eyes.
He was powerless against the sensation transmitted from his brother, and yet the one filling his imagination was… Xu Jingran.
It was chaotic. Humiliating.
His mind was now filled entirely with Xu Jingran.
Every version of her.
【Ahhh! He said Jingran’s name…】
【Admit it—you’re obsessed with Jingran too.】
【Like I said, the Jiang brothers sharing one woman—what a legendary story for us readers~】
When everything finally settled, Jiang Si collapsed weakly on the sofa. The towel lay in disarray. His empty gaze fixed on the luxurious crystal chandelier above.
He was truly done for.
Jiang Lijin just wouldn’t stop.
At this rate, his so-called sister-in-law would probably get sick of his brother.
The castle was extremely well soundproofed. The announcement downstairs that the game had ended could not be heard here at all.
His phone lit up.
Jiang Si glanced down. It was a message from his brother.
Jiang Lijin: 【Shut up. You don’t have a sister-in-law.】
Jiang Si couldn’t help but laugh.
Heh. ^_^
If there was no “sister-in-law,” then who exactly had his brother been so crazy about just now?
Who was he trying to fool?
Jiang Si rushed into the bathroom to wash up again.
It was all his brother’s fault.
Because of him, Jiang Si hadn’t participated in this game.
He could have had more chances to interact with Xu Jingran.
Maybe if they’d spent more time together, Xu Jingran would have realized he was more suitable as a boyfriend than Lu Ran.
At the very least, his meeting with her hadn’t started as a bet.
Lu Ran had approached Xu Jingran because of a bet.
Jiang Si remembered the last time he emailed Xu Jingran about it—she hadn’t even believed him.
It seemed she really did like Lu Ran.
He had no idea what kind of ridiculous luck Lu Ran had stumbled into.
Right now, Jiang Si only felt regret.
Deep regret.
If he had known, he never would have suggested that bet in the first place.
Now he was suffering the consequences of his own actions.
His phone lit up again.
The school forum had posted a new photo.
The forum was already flooded with posts about tonight’s “Night Hunt” game.
But this photo had still been pushed to the very top.
Under the dazzling lights of the ancient castle, Lu Ran’s tall figure held Xu Jingran tightly in his arms.
He let her stand on top of his leather shoes and lowered his head to kiss her hair.
Xu Jingran leaned against him, her eyes curved in a bright smile. In her hand was a badge—probably proof of victory.
In the corner of the photo, Xiao Si Ming and Jiang Lijin were also present.
It looked as though they were watching Lu Ran and Xu Jingran embrace.
Yes. Probably offering their blessings.
That was also why this photo had climbed to the top.
Three members of F5 were there.
And Xu Jingran—her stunning beauty fully illuminated by the castle lights.
She was wearing the white dress he had given her.
The dress had gained many wrinkles and stains, but that didn’t diminish her beauty at all. Instead, it added a fragile, pitiful charm.
Her delicate face was angelic, yet the small tear mole beneath her eye rose and fell slightly with her expression, adding a subtle demonic allure—so tempting one might want to press it gently with a fingertip and kiss it.
A sacred and fallen aura blended perfectly in her.
It was impossible to look away.
If F5 stood at the pinnacle of power in the academy—
Then Xu Jingran stood at the pinnacle of beauty.
Everyone agreed on that.
But this time, they were shocked all over again.
“For a moment, I don’t even know who to envy. Xu Jingran is basically a succubus.”
“Okay, for one second I actually wanted to be Young Master Lu Ran.”
“She’s a traitor among the special admissions students. She only gets attention because of that face.”
“She’s not a traitor! She’s really kind. I’m a special admissions student too—you might be misunderstanding her.”
“Stop pretending to be a special admissions student. Can you shut up? Xu Jingran isn’t as good as you think.”
“She is good. She saved me.”
…
The school forum had erupted into arguments again.
Jiang Si saved the image.
Then he skillfully used the crop tool.
He cut Xiao Si Ming and his brother out of the corner.
Then cropped again.
Lu Ran was such an eyesore.
He cropped out Lu Ran’s head.
There. Perfect.
Jiang Si stroked his chin in satisfaction.
Just right.
Xu Jingran was being held in a broad chest.
He could easily imagine it was himself.
At that moment, the lounge door opened, and Jiang Lijin walked in.
There was a faint sweetness on him, masked beneath the scent of alcohol.
The fragrance felt familiar.
Jiang Si put his phone away and gave Jiang Lijin a teasing smile.
“Brother, where did you go tonight?”
