After saying those words, Chen Mengrou looked at the girl standing before her, so surprised that her mouth couldn’t close.
Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to last night, when she was tidying the room for her future daughter-in-law, and her eldest son had just walked over.
“Mom, no need to tidy up.” Her eldest son said.
“What’s wrong? Achi, are you planning to give up your room and sleep on the sofa?” Chen Mengrou asked as she continued her work, secretly thinking: Finally, my eldest son’s stubborn mind has opened up. He knows how to take the initiative to gain favor.
However, the boy raised his head, his clear blue eyes looking straight at her. “Mom, I want to sleep with her.”
Her thoughts flooded back to the present moment. Ji Qingchan still stood frozen in place, as if her mind had come to a halt, while Jiang Chi gave her no chance to react. He reached out, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, lifted her up directly, and headed toward the bedroom.
Watching the entire scene unfold, Chen Mengrou gently stroked her chin and murmured, “Achi has really grown up. But I still hope he keeps his limits in mind. After all, they’re both minors. If they really do those kinds of things…”
…….
The quiet night seemed to be veiled by a mysterious curtain.
The gentle “shh shh shh” of the shower echoed through the room. Mist swirled inside the bathroom, making one feel as if floating among the clouds.
Jiang Chi’s bedroom was all white—from the white floor to the white bed and even the white bedding set. However, the double bed that usually had only one pillow today had two.
A pure-faced girl sat quietly on the bed, her hands tightly hugging her knees. Her expression subtly revealed a sense of awkwardness and unease.
Ji Yuannian felt a small flutter of panic deep inside.
A young man and a young woman alone in the same room — in a drama, this would be the prelude to something serious.
No, no, no, no!!
The girl shook her head sharply, her long hair fluttering with the motion, her face flushing a faint red from nervousness.
What kind of person was Jiang Chi? Others might not know, but as his sworn enemy, Ji Yuannian surely did.
Jiang Chi was a true gentleman, seeing beauty as fleeting smoke and clouds. What home run! Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Wait, had she just PUA’d Jiang Chi into being a bad guy?
These days, bad guys seemed to favor the tactic of forcing home runs.
Hiss!
After a mental storm, Ji Yuannian’s slight panic instantly became full-blown, her little heart pounding wildly.
No, she had to distract herself!
With that thought, Ji Yuannian’s eyes quickly scanned the room, searching for something to divert her attention. A phone charging, the photo frame on the bedside table holding a picture of her and Jiang Chi after their last piano session, and two white-covered diaries…
Wait, diaries!
Jiang Chi’s diaries?
Her eyes lit up. Noticing the shower noise still continuing, she quietly reached over and picked up the diary on top.
Peeking into the pure boy’s diary.
A bit perverted, but mostly entertaining and thrilling!
She flipped to the first page. Contrary to her expectations, the first thing that caught her eye was a line of text — “Cultivating Self-Presence and Style [Bad Boy Edition].”
Below was a long analysis and plan on becoming a “bad boy,” filled with dense data. At a glance, it looked like a research paper waiting to be published.
Flipping through several more pages, it was basically the same: various “dominant couple tactics,” or psychological self-analysis — all aimed at developing himself toward becoming a “bad boy.”
“If he really trains like this, he might turn into a major weirdo, a big yandere.” Ji Yuannian muttered, holding the diary, but for some reason, the crazy, manic face from her previous nightmare flashed in her mind.
Pushing that image down, Ji Yuannian turned her attention to the other white diary.
If this one was about cultivating a bad boy, could the other be…
Just as she was about to open it, the bathroom door suddenly creaked open. Ji Yuannian hurriedly put the diary back and sat up straight.
Jiang Chi stepped out wrapped in a pure white towel, his damp short hair still dripping droplets of water. His figure was ordinary, nothing outstanding, but clearly toned. Crystal-clear droplets glistened on his chest, sparkling under the light.
He looked at the girl sitting upright on the bed. Her long, glossy black hair cascaded freely over her shoulders, revealing half of a delicate face. Her hands nervously intertwined, and her fair feet were curled up gently on her stomach.
Was she… shy?
A faint smile curled at Jiang Chi’s lips.
Though he said he wanted to be a bad boy, he still had moments of nervousness and shyness.
Such a small body hiding such a large and interesting soul.
Soon, after drying his hair and changing into pajamas, he took the laptop from the desk and climbed onto the bed. Then, with practiced ease, he pulled out a folding table from the bedside and placed the laptop steadily on it.
“What are you doing?” The girl leaned in curiously, her hair brushing his cheek, bringing a faint ticklish sensation and a subtle scent of gardenias.
“Stock trading.” Jiang Chi answered.
He reached out and gently ruffled the girl’s hair. Usually, this kind of head-patting was a sign of affection from owner to pet, superior to subordinate, or elder to younger, but here, between lovers, it was undeniably a beautiful way to deepen feelings.
Ji Yuannian frowned inwardly. She didn’t like being touched on the head but didn’t say anything at this moment.
“You can trade stocks too?”
Seeing the girl’s surprised face, Jiang Chi felt a slight swell of pride. “My dad helped me get an account. My family is planning to enter the financial industry, so I’m practicing in the stock market.”
“According to what I’ve heard, one of my stocks will hit its highest point tonight. I’m planning to cash out then…”
When talking about his area of expertise, Jiang Chi’s aura shifted instantly. He was no longer a silent boy but appeared like a knowledgeable professor.
At first, Ji Yuannian listened seriously, but Jiang Chi wasn’t much of a storyteller. Though the content was solid, it was all dry.
After a while, a strong drowsiness crept in, and the girl unconsciously leaned against the pillow and fell into a deep sleep.
When Jiang Chi snapped back to reality, the girl had quietly fallen asleep. He was momentarily stunned, then gently covered “Ji Qingchan” with a thin blanket.
Time slipped to the late night. As the stock hit its expected peak, the boy at the laptop moved his fingers swiftly and successfully cashed out.
The core of financial stocks wasn’t schemes or tricks, but “wind” — the “wind” coming from above.
Another successful cash-out earned him some cash, but the sense of accomplishment in his heart wasn’t as strong as he had expected. It wasn’t even as intense as the feeling he had when facing Ji Qingchan earlier.
He closed the laptop and put it away.
Thinking for a moment, Jiang Chi picked up the other white diary from the bedside drawer. It had no name on the cover, just like the whole room.
Inside, the diary only had dates and simple notes.
March 14: Encountered a fairy trap; met a very boundary-less person at school.
His fingertips gently caressed the pages as he flipped more.
March 20: That girl likes me. Right, her name is Ji Qingchan. What a hassle. Why does she like me, a “patient”?
March 25: That girl has a scent of gardenias, very pleasant.
March 28: That girl accompanies me to school every day. I really don’t know why she bothers so much.
April 5: That girl came to my house. I know she’s an orphan, so I took her in.
April 8: She confessed to me. I rejected her. Strange, why does my heart feel warm?
April 10: She seems to have invaded my life, but why don’t I resist? Have I fallen for her?
April 12: I think I’ve fallen for her. Her name is Ji Qingchan. She is the one I like. She also has very beautiful hands.
Page after page turned until he reached the newest, pristine, blank page.
Jiang Chi sat quietly for a long time, gripping the pen clipped to the diary.
May 20: Today is the first time I slept with the girl I like. I’m very happy. Also, I hope tomorrow’s plan goes smoothly.
