That fleeting smile was like an Epiphyllum blooming silently in the cold night, or a warm winter sun piercing through the clouds.
This smile caused ripples in Jiang Junyi's heart.
Bad! I think I'm falling for her a little.
Wan Qingyun's cold yet strong face, her body that never compromised with fate, radiated a light in that instant that shone into Jiang Junyi's heart.
Not hearing a sound from Jiang Junyi for a long time, Wan Qingyun was a little curious: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Junyi snapped out of it: "No... nothing... it's just that Qingyun's smile truly moved my heart."
Wan Qingyun was startled, a blush gradually creeping up her neck: "You... what's so... moving about that..."
By the end, her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
Jiang Junyi looked at the shy Wan Qingyun, a doting smile appearing on his face: Hehehe, a shy Qingyun is also so beautiful.
If before he only wanted to cling to Wan Qingyun's coattails, now Jiang Junyi truly couldn't help but want to pursue a pure romance with her!
Wan Qingyun seemed to notice her own unusual behavior, and after two coughs, she calmly said: "Young Master Jiang must be busy with many affairs. This matter is concluded, and I also have things to attend to."
The intention to see him off was clear, but... "Mhm mhm mhm." Jiang Junyi pulled a chair and sat next to Wan Qingyun, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at her, "You busy, you busy."
Wan Qingyun, hearing the movement, was full of questions.
No, do you not understand what I mean?!
Why did you drag a chair over and sit next to me?
Wan Qingyun took a deep breath. Perhaps if she ignored him, he would leave on his own?
Thinking this, she picked up a book and began to read.
She couldn't let him disrupt her study plan.
And Jiang Junyi just quietly watched Wan Qingyun, who was focused on her reading.
For a moment, the study became quiet.
So quiet... just like the dark days of the past... Wan Qingyun's hand, holding the book, tightened slightly. That man had unreasonably barged into her gloomy world, but now that it was returning to how it was before... why did she feel a little uncomfortable? Just then, the peace was suddenly broken.
"One day, a little bear planted strawberries and mangoes. He found the strawberries grew very slowly, so the little bear grumbled to himself. What do you think the little bear said?" Jiang Junyi leaned on the table.
He clearly saw the bright expression on Wan Qingyun's face when he spoke.
"What did he say?"
Jiang Junyi smiled mischievously: "The little bear said: 'Berry without you, I can't do it. Berry without you, I can't do it.'"
Wan Qingyun, who had just calmed down, felt a blush creep up her cheeks again: "You! Don't disturb my reading!"
"Reading can be tiring; sometimes you need a little adjustment."
"I... I'm already used to it!"
Wan Qingyun felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed. Having never had contact with the opposite sex, she found Jiang Junyi somewhat irresistible.
She pushed Jiang Junyi: "You're not allowed to speak anymore."
Jiang Junyi looked at Wan Qingyun's annoyed expression and couldn't help but want to tease her: "How about you call me 'good husband'? 'Young Master Jiang' sounds too distant."
"Wh-what?!"
Wan Qingyun's face changed dramatically upon hearing such audacious words.
"You, you, you, don't go too far!"
Jiang Junyi feigned disappointment: "Ah... but when you call me Young Master Jiang, it feels like we're strangers."
Wan Qingyun gritted her teeth. Please! We only just met today, okay?!
Who calls someone 'good husband' right after meeting them?
However, perhaps sensing Jiang Junyi's disappointment, Wan Qingyun spoke up:
"Ch-change it..."
"Then... Darling Husband?"
"Bastard!"
Wan Qingyun threw the book in her hand. This man! How could he be so shameless!
"Just kidding, how about just calling me Junyi?" Jiang Junyi caught the thrown book and chuckled.
That's more like it... but it's still a bit intimate... "Jun..."
"Mhm mhm mhm!"
Jiang Junyi looked at Wan Qingyun with burning eyes, anticipating the moment she would speak.
Perhaps feeling that intense gaze, Wan Qingyun found it difficult to speak for a moment.
After a long internal struggle, she finally whispered: "Jun... Junyi..."
As the words left her mouth, a blush spread across her delicate face.
Her naturally cool demeanor gained a touch of cuteness.
Ah!
Jiang Junyi clutched his chest. Qingyun, shyly calling my name, how can she be so cute!
[Ding~ Pure love target calls intimately! Pure Love Value +10!]
"Call me again, let me hear it?" Jiang Junyi leaned closer to Wan Qingyun, his strong, unique scent wafting towards her.
Wan Qingyun quickly pushed Jiang Junyi's head away, her cool little hand brushing his cheek, making his heart flutter.
[Ding! Pure love target actively touches! Pure Love Value continuously +6!]
"You! Get away from me!"
"I didn't hear it just now~ Call again~ Just once~" Jiang Junyi shamelessly wriggled frantically in front of Wan Qingyun.
"N-no!"
Just as the two were bickering, an urgent call came from outside the study:
"Sis! Sis! Are you okay!"
Wan Xiaoxiao rushed in from outside, but as soon as she entered, she saw her sister's face flushed and a strange man constantly nuzzling her sister.
"Who are you?! Get lost!"
"Xiao Xiao! Wait..."
Wan Xiaoxiao delivered a flying kick, and Jiang Junyi only felt a force strike his side.
In that instant, a series of strategic ideas flashed through his mind—how to use this kick!
"Ugh..."
"Thud!"
The chair overturned, and Jiang Junyi fell to the ground.
Wan Qingyun's expression changed upon hearing the commotion, and she quickly tried to stop it, but she couldn't stand up.
"Huh? Sister, what were you trying to say?"
Wan Xiaoxiao landed in front of Wan Qingyun, flipping her twin pigtails, looking curiously at Wan Qingyun who seemed to have something to say but held back.
"Um... Xiao Xiao, he just saved us, he's not a bad person..." Wan Qingyun pulled Wan Xiaoxiao's hand and hurriedly explained.
"Huh? Why don't I have that memory? He clearly..." Wan Xiaoxiao didn't understand.
"Hey! I'll tell you the details later..."
Wan Qingyun sighed, but then she noticed that Jiang Junyi on the ground was motionless.
"Xiao Xiao... how much force did you use just now...?"
Wan Xiaoxiao looked at the motionless Jiang Junyi on the ground, scratched her head: "Full force..."
"Push me over to see! No... the wheelchair is broken..." Wan Qingyun seemed a bit anxious now.
And Wan Xiaoxiao had never seen her sister so anxious before, she quickly comforted her: "There's a spare one, I'll go get it."
"Okay, hurry up."
Wan Qingyun's brows were tightly furrowed. After Wan Xiaoxiao ran out, she called out to Jiang Junyi.
"Junyi, Junyi!"
At this moment, Jiang Junyi on the ground secretly opened his eyes and found that only he and Wan Qingyun were in the room.
Only then did he slowly move next to Wan Qingyun and rest his head on her lap.
So soft!
[Ding! Touched the pure love target's jade leg! Pure Love Value +66!]
"Ah!"
Wan Qingyun was startled and quickly touched the object on her leg with her hand.
"Junyi?"
Jiang Junyi pretended to be extremely weak, speaking with difficulty: "Ah... to hear... my Qingyun call me... I can die without regrets!"
Wan Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Jiang Junyi's mischievous words, but then she realized.
This dead man was actually resting on her lap!
"Bastard! Get up!" Wan Qingyun gritted her teeth.
Jiang Junyi chuckled, quickly stood up, and gently massaged Wan Qingyun's shoulder from behind:
"Don't be angry, don't be angry~"
"Hmph!"
Wan Qingyun snorted coldly and turned her head away, not wanting to deal with him.
"Clang."
The sound of a heavy object falling echoed at the doorway, and both looked over simultaneously.
Wan Xiaoxiao said incredulously:
"Are you two... flirting???"
