“Mm.”
Jiang Xun’s voice was low and husky, but he sounded perfectly calm.
“I want to take a shower first. I don’t have any clothes here. Can I go home and get some?”
“If you don’t have any clothes, then don’t wear any.”
“……”
Wasn’t that exactly what she wanted?
Li Wu simply climbed onto the bed, deliberately lifting her skirt to reveal her two long, fair legs, then crooked her finger at him. “I don’t mind.”
Clearly, Jiang Xun had done plenty of mental preparation, but it still wasn’t enough.
Every sentence that came out of the eldest daughter of the Li family’s mouth was completely illogical and utterly dictated by impulse.
Jiang Xun’s face grew hot, and the tips of his ears quietly turned red. “I can’t sleep without clothes.”
Li Wu thought about it with her little brain before saying, “Forget it, I won’t make things difficult for you. There are clothes I bought for you in the wardrobe, and I prepared outfits for every season. Pick whatever you like.”
Jiang Xun narrowed his eyes.
Li Wu propped up her chin and smiled sweetly. “They’re all clothes I had specially tailored for you. I spent quite a lot of money on them. Ah, you don’t have to thank me too much. These are all things I was willing to do for you, and I’m happy to spend as much as it takes.”
After all, it was his family’s money.
She didn’t feel sorry about it at all.
Then Li Wu added, “Jiang Xun, you must remember how good I’ve been to you.”
She smiled sweetly, looking obedient and kind, almost like an angel.
She was completely different from the eldest daughter of the Li family he had known before.
Jiang Xun looked at her for a long while before silently nodding.
He turned around, took a change of clothes from the wardrobe, and said calmly, “I’m going to take a shower.”
“Okay.”
Li Wu deliberately lowered her voice and spoke in a coquettish tone. “Hurry up, okay? I’ll wait for you so we can sleep together.”
But the only response she received was the sound of Jiang Xun firmly closing the bathroom door.
“Hmph, so cold.”
She muttered unhappily, “He must be all looks and no ability…”
Li Wu was puzzled.
She had already used every trick she could think of to seduce him, so how was he still looking so calm?
He was acting like some upright gentleman.
Did he not like 36D? Or did he not like her beautiful, heavenly face?
Then what exactly did he like?
Could it be that he preferred someone with actual skills?
Li Wu thought about it and decided that she couldn’t just sit around and wait.
She immediately picked up her phone and opened several Japanese action movies that the evil little butter had specially sent her.
For the sake of staying alive, she had to improve her skills properly and make sure she completely captivated the male lead.
So Li Wu lay on the bed and began studying them with great interest.
Meanwhile, Inside the bathroom. Jiang Xun showered very slowly.
The cold water thoroughly drenched his body.
The medicine he had just applied to his back was washed away by the running water, leaving behind only a searing, stinging pain.
Physical pain could help him calm down completely.
He closed his eyes.
His memories played through his mind frame by frame like scenes from a movie.
He slowly sifted through the fragments of his memories concerning [Li Wu], taking his time as he searched for subtle differences, details he might have overlooked, or clues he had never noticed.
Perhaps! There were certain moments during his first meeting with [Li Wu] that contained traces he had missed and never paid attention to.
At the time, he had been attending class.
[Li Wu] had sent someone to call him to the rooftop, intending to teach him a lesson.
However, the few gangsters she had sent were no match for him. Instead, he had beaten them up badly.
Back then, [Li Wu] had watched him from nearby.
Her eyes were filled with hatred, jealousy, and unwillingness.
It was the overwhelming kind of hatred that made her wish he would drop dead on the spot.
The second time they met.
[Li Wu] had sent people to ambush him on the road.
That time, he had been caught completely off guard and was beaten by more than a dozen people until he was nearly killed in the street.
On that night of torrential rain, [Li Wu]’s high heels had pressed against his face.
There had still been nothing but hatred in her eyes.
[How dare a lowly bastard like you compete with me?]
Compete with me…
Compete for what?
In the past, he could never understand what he, a poor university student, could possibly compete with the eldest daughter of the Li family for.
They had seemed like two completely unrelated parallel lines, yet one day, something had suddenly gone wrong, causing them to break away from their original paths and intersect. There had to be a reason.
Was it someone’s deliberate interference, or was it simply fate?
Jiang Xun didn’t know.
He felt that the answer lay with [Li Wu].
Perhaps he needed to spend some time searching for it.
But judging from what had happened today…
[Li Wu] had changed.
She had become somewhat different.
A person’s personality couldn’t possibly undergo such a drastic change in such a short period of time.
Jiang Xun suddenly opened his eyes.
[Perhaps Li Wu is no longer the same Li Wu.]
Jiang Xun turned off the shower, grabbed the towel beside him, dried the water droplets from his body, and stepped barefoot out of the shower.
He put on his clothes, slipped into the pair of indoor slippers that didn’t quite fit him, and walked out of the bathroom.
The room was very quiet.
So quiet that he could make out a faint and strange sound, like the sounds of a man and a woman ** together.
It was coming from the direction of the bed.
Jiang Xun walked toward the bed and discovered that Li Wu was already asleep.
She was still holding a phone in her hand, and a video was playing on the screen.
The footage was rather indecent.
The strange sound was coming from the actress in the video.
Jiang Xun couldn’t help laughing.
She had actually fallen asleep while watching this?
How interesting.
He reached out, turned off the video on her phone, and set it aside.
While asleep, the eldest daughter of the Li family was completely defenseless. She hugged a large pillow and slept deeply.
Her delicate skin glowed softly beneath the light. Because she was sleeping so soundly, her rosy lips naturally parted slightly as she breathed in air.
She was inexplicably adorable.
Jiang Xun leaned down slightly.
His slender fingers brushed her messy black hair backward, gently winding it aside before finally tucking it behind her ear.
Her entire sleeping face was exposed before his eyes.
He lowered his head and sniffed the finger that had brushed through her hair.
A faint trace of her fragrance lingered on his fingertip.
Jiang Xun closed his eyes.
Suddenly, he felt lonely.
A vast, hollow sense of loneliness swept over his heart like a storm, making his empty heart feel like a small boat on the verge of capsizing, unable to find a harbor where it could anchor.
He seemed somewhat uncertain.
What exactly was it that made him feel so vulnerable?
What was it that he was truly longing for?
“Li Wu.”
He softly called her name, his voice hoarse. “If you’re not Li Wu, then who are you?”
But whether she was asleep or awake, there was no way she could give him an honest answer.
Jiang Xun slowly lowered his head, burying his handsome face against her shoulder.
His tall, straight nose was like that of a little dog, possessing the most sensitive sense of touch and the keenest sense of smell. He kept nuzzling the side of her neck as though searching for a hidden treasure.
There was a sensation and a scent there that he was addicted to.
Just as he had wanted.
It made him addicted.
It made him feel so good that he almost wanted to die.
