Chapter 84 - 84: Something’s Wrong with Her, Very Wrong
Jiang Xu was extraordinarily shocked, “That’s not possible, absolutely not possible.”
What a joke.
If he had agreed to stay.
Then he wouldn’t be able to get out of the main door tomorrow.
Because all the surroundings of the house would be blocked by a 404 error falling from the sky.
Jiang Xiaoyan chuckled, “What are you scared of? I’m not asking you to share a room with me.
I’m asking you to stay in the guest room next door.
I’ve been alone for a long time, and I’m feeling a bit lonely.”
Saying that, her mood seemed to dim a bit.
Jiang Xu’s heart softened, thinking about her situation.
Well, why not.
If everyone could give a little love, then the world would be a much better place.
“Okay then, I’ll stay with you tonight.”
A brilliant smile instantly lit up Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyes.
“Let’s play cards. Whoever loses must reveal a secret to the winner. It has to be true.”
Jiang Xu nodded indifferently.
They were playing blackjack, whoever had the highest score won.
In the first round, Jiang Xu scored fifteen and Jiang Xiaoyan scored sixteen.
“Yay, I won.” Jiang Xiaoyan cheered, “Brother, my question is, have you ever masturbated?”
“Masturbated?” Jiang Xu was first taken aback, then realization dawned, “Oh fuck, how could you ask such an embarrassing question?”
Jiang Xiaoyan fixed her penetrating gaze on him, “Never mind me, just admit whether you’ve done it or not.
I heard that many boys at this age do it, don’t be shy.
You have to tell the truth, otherwise it won’t be fun.
If you win a round and ask me a similar question, I’ll answer it too.”
Jiang Xu’s forehead was covered in sweat, “No, definitely not.”
“Oh, okay, let’s go again.” Jiang Xiaoyan puckered her lips.
Hey, what’s with that disappointed look on your face?
Do I look like that kind of person to you?
In the second round, Jiang Xu only scored thirteen points. He thought he would lose, but Jiang Xiaoyan scored even lower – only twelve.
“I lost, I lost.” Jiang Xiaoyan was excited, “Quick, ask me a very secretive question, the more secretive the better.”
Jiang Xu: “…”
This girl, isn’t right, something’s definitely wrong.
Jiang Xu cared about his dignity.
Although, he did have a tiny bit, just a tiny bit of curiosity.
But he definitely couldn’t ask.
“Ahem.” Jiang Xu touched his nose, “My question is, how tall are you?”
“Huh? Why ask such a boring question.” Jiang Xiaoyan looked disappointed, “I’m 1.65 meters.”
At this age, 1.65 meters was quite tall.
In the next two years, she probably would grow a few more centimeters.
In the third round.
Jiang Xu won again.
Before he had a chance to ask, Jiang Xiaoyan sad, “Brother, show some manliness and stop pretending.”
Jiang Xu was infuriated.
Did this girl look down on him?
“Alright, here’s my question, when you shower, has the showerhead ever…”
“Yes, Yes,Yes.” Jiang Xiaoyan nodded passionately, “It always happens when I take a shower, want to know what it feels like?”
“No, stop.” Jiang Xu stopped her, “Don’t go into details or the live stream will be banned.”
In the fourth round, Jiang Xu won again.
Jiang Xiaoyan said nothing, but from the way she looked at Jiang Xu.
She hoped the more outrageous the question Jiang Xu asked, the better.
Jiang Xu pondered for a moment, then asked, “Do you have any true friends?”
“None.” Jiang Xiaoyan pouted, “Stop playing the emotion card, brother. Ask something more exciting.”
Jiang Xu: “666.”
In the fifth round, Jiang Xiaoyan won. Her red lips moved quickly, “I want to know if you still have dreams…”
Jiang Xu held his forehead, “No more.”
“You’re the freak.”
Jiang Xiaoyan again won round six.
“Brother, how many GB of documentaries do you have stored on your D drive?”
“None,” he answered.
Jiang Xiaoyan, clearly skeptical, replied, “Brother, you’re so dull. What’s there to hide about that?”
Feeling helpless, Jiang Xu insisted, “Really, I don’t.”
He had already moved past such childish entertainment, achieving a sophisticated state where his hands needed no media, but his mind held the films.
“My brother is so impressive,” Jiang Xiaoyan said verbally, but her eyes gave away a mocking expression.
Jiang Xu was speechless, realizing that he’d been openly scorned.
Before they knew it, they’d been playing around for over an hour.
Jiang Xiaoyan’s eyelids were dueling in a fight to stay open.
Then suddenly, she leaned to the side and crumbled onto the sofa.
“Hmm, she fell asleep?”
Jiang Xu gently shook her.
When she didn’t stir, he picked her up.
The seemingly hefty little miss was deceptively light, probably weighing around 80 kg.
Surprisingly, at that weight, she still managed to maintain a distinctly chic figure.
He laid Jiang Xiaoyan on the bed, turned the air conditioner to twenty-six degrees, and tucked her in under the quilt.
Asleep, Jiang Xiaoyan looked serene, making her seem even more innocent and adorable than usual.
The sight made hearts naturally soften toward her.
Jiang Xu then brought from the living room a thermos and a glass of water, setting them on her bedside table.
The girl had chatted non-stop for so long without a single sip of water.
She would probably be thirsty when she woke up.
After all this, Jiang Xu turned to leave the room.
Unbeknownst to him, the moment he turned his back, a faint smile tugged at the corners of Jiang Xiaoyan’s mouth.
Jiang Xu retired to the room next door.
He had intended to write that evening, but it was already too late.
The next morning.
Jiang Xu was awakened by a tickling sensation.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw Jiang Xiaoyan leaned over the edge of his bed,
Twirling a lock of his hair in her fingers over his face.
The girl was sporting a simple, innocent smile.
But it gave Jiang Xu the creeps.
He couldn’t shake off the feeling that any minute she’d sneer and brandish a knife against his throat.
“Why are you awake so early?”
I wake up at this time every day,” Jiang Xiaoyan replied warmly, “Brother, I felt really comfortable with you here yesterday.
I slept better than ever before, so why don’t you move in here permanently?”
That’s impossible,” Jiang Xu rejected without hesitation. “I’m very busy.”
“Well, I could move into your place then.”
Jiang Xu chuckled.
What would An Nuonuo think if she did that?
And if their parents found out, there’s a ninety-nine percent chance they’d knock him dead.
Not that they were old and wouldn’t have another child.
Jiang Xiaoyan pouted and abruptly switched topics, “So, big brother, are you an actual gentleman or a hypocritical scoundrel?
Last night, I was all defenseless, and you didn’t do anything at all.”
Jiang Xu got up and formed a fist.
He flicked her spotless forehead and said, “Little girl, your mind is always filled with nonsense. Enough now,
I’ll make you some breakfast and then I have to leave.”
He found out yesterday that this villa originally had two housemaids, one for cooking and one for cleaning.
However, Jiang Xiaoyan had fired them both.
She usually bought her meals from outside.
The cleaning maid came over once a week.
And immediately after cleaning, she would get kicked out.
Making a meal for her might just warm up her cold heart a bit.
But this girl never played by the rules.
Just as Jiang Xu finished speaking, Jiang Xiaoyan came out with some words that would require a mosaic to censor…
