The host competition concluded successfully, and the event undoubtedly sparked widespread discussion in the Lanjing University dorm group chats and public forums.
Liu Fei, stunningly beautiful in her pale yellow skirt.
Le Ziling, with a sweet voice like the girl next door.
Ran Hongli, whose short hair and exceptional aura were beautiful enough to bring to mind a Hong Kong starlet.
The glib yet brilliant speaker Song Lin, and the freshman who utterly amazed the students of Landa University, Chen Yuan.
Judging by the hype alone, the event was undoubtedly a massive success.
In the Youth League Committee Secretary’s office.
Jiangg Yao sat idly in her sister’s usual office chair. She stared up at the ceiling, legs crossed casually, feeling exceptionally bored.
’Work is so boring.’
She didn’t know how to handle the official business her sister dealt with daily. She couldn’t make heads or tails of the docunts.
All she could do was sit there and wait for the workday to end.
In a way, her useless cuteness was a form of good behavior. At least she wasn’t ssing with anything and causing trouble for Jiangg Ning.
Right now, besides replaying Chen Yuan’s performance at the host competition, only two words were clear in Jiangg Yao’s mind: Quitting ti!
’I really want to get off work... I really want to cuddle with my little young master.’
’If I don’t get to cuddle him soon, I feel like my soul will be sucked right out of , leaving behind an empty, walking corpse.’
...
After what felt like an eternity of waiting.
The workday finally ended. At their old spot to the right of the university town, a Porsche was parked by the roadside.
Inside the car, Jiangg Yao called her sister.
BEEP...
A few seconds later, the call connected.
"Hey, Sis!" Jiangg Yao’s voice was buzzing with excitent.
Jiangg Ning’s response, however, was cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
"What is it?"
"I’m off work now! Today was so fulfilling. You have no idea how well Chen Yuan did today! It’s a sha I didn’t get any pictures... The suit you picked out for him fit perfectly, by the way."
"As long as it fit."
The tones of the two sisters were a stark contrast.
Jiangg Yao, of course, sensed it keenly. She could understand. Her sister must be heartbroken right now, so she quickly shut her mouth and didn’t share any more.
"I’m going to grab a bite to eat before I head ho, so don’t wait up for , okay?"
"Mm."
"Bye, Sis~ Love you most!"
The call ended, but Jiangg Yao’s good mood continued.
This was the romance script she had always imagined—no one to bother them, and no need to worry about him being stolen away.
’Victory is so sweet.’
’It’s a sha my sister and I fell in love with the sa person. That’s the most regrettable part. Otherwise, I could be sharing all my romantic feelings with her.’
’In the future, when my sister finds soone she loves, I’ll give her my wholehearted blessing.’
’That would be wonderful.’
But now, for them—two sisters who grew up together—one’s happiness ant the other’s sorrow.
It was truly a cruel twist of fate. You just had to marvel at how unpredictable destiny could be.
With the call finished, she no longer had any worries.
Jiangg Yao sat in the car, feeling exceptionally anxious. She kept craning her neck to look toward the street corner.
It wasn’t until Chen Yuan’s figure appeared that a full smile finally graced her lips.
CLICK—
The car door shut.
Jiangg Yao’s beautiful eyes were filled with endless shyness as she peeked at Chen Yuan.
"You were really amazing. I can hardly believe that was you. It’s the first ti I’ve seen that side of you."
"Keep digging, and you’ll find I have many other excellent qualities," Chen Yuan replied coolly, shalessly accepting the praise without a hint of modesty.
"My little young master... you’re so handso!" Jiangg Yao was practically a fangirl, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Chen Yuan.
’She really wanted to pull him over for kisses and hugs right away.’
But they were outside, and there were university students walking back and forth on the street.
She had no choice but to give up the idea, starting the engine and heading toward Fengting District.
"You have no idea, the other teachers next to were praising you to too. They gave you a lot of votes. I could only nod and act nonchalant while listening, but inside, I felt like I was about to explode with happiness... Hearing them praise you made happier than if they were praising ."
Jiangg Yao chattered on nonstop the entire way.
She was genuinely happy for Chen Yuan.
Watching his girlfriend so excited she could barely put it into words... Chen Yuan felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. A smile tugged at his lips as he listened quietly.
...
The atmosphere in the living room seed frozen.
After hanging up, Jiangg Ning seed to transform into a petrified statue. She sat on the sofa, hugging her knees, an unreadable look of confusion on her face.
She wasn’t happy, but she couldn’t say she was sad, either.
After a session of silent crying, it felt as if a piece of her heart had been carved out.
There were no major emotional swings anymore, just a suffocating sense of oppression.
The lights weren’t on. The surroundings were hazy and dim.
As she recalled, she always liked to be alone like this whenever she was sad. But lately, the number of tis she felt sad had been increasing.
Ever since Chen Yuan appeared in her life, she could no longer remain as calm as she used to be.
’It was as if there was a thread, tying her to him, and him to her.’
With the slightest disturbance, her heart would tremble endlessly like that thread... Sweetness, loss, happiness, despair—it turned out a person could be so full, so alive, like a puppet that had gained a soul.
Placing a hand over her chest, she could feel her heart beating, searing hot.
THUMP-THUMP—
THUMP-THUMP—
After a mont of sensing it, Jiangg Ning suddenly turned her head. She thought she faintly heard sothing. She let go of her knees and slowly stood up.
Her soft, pale feet padded across the warm carpet as she walked step by step to the entryway.
She bent down and looked through the peephole.
Her sister’s face filled her vision, and next to her stood the person tied to the other end of that thread.
"How co this fingerprint lock isn’t working? I registered my fingerprint last ti," Jiangg Yao said, trying several tis before planting her hands on her hips in frustration.
"Who knows? Let try mine... It’s not working either. The company that makes this lock probably made a shoddy product."
"Then what do we do? Did you bring a key?"
"No, but we can use facial recognition to unlock it."
"Huh? It’s that high-tech? You try."
"Okay," Chen Yuan replied. Holding a bag of snacks, he bent down and aid his face at the lock. A facial detection pattern appeared on the screen, and then the circular icon turned green.
The words "Unlock Successful" appeared, and the door clicked open.
"It really works? Then I want to register my face too, so I don’t have to use my fingerprint next ti."
"Sure, let adjust it. Co on... point your face at this cara."
"Like this?"
"Don’t make faces, Yaoyao. It can’t recognize you. Why are you ssing with the machine?"
"Hee hee hee."
Her silvery laughter rang out, so piercing to the ears.
Hiding behind the door, Jiangg Ning watched all of this in disbelief.
’So, you rented the apartnt across the hall to make it easier to live together?’
’Jiangg Yao... wasn’t it hard, hiding all this from your sister?’
CLICK—
The door to 1302 clicked shut.
The two intimate figures disappeared completely, making Jiangg Ning feel as if the scene just now had been a hallucination. All that was left was the cold, closed door, and she could see nothing.
She staggered back two steps, her fists clenched tightly.
...
"I missed you like crazy. Co here... let kiss you."
In the entryway of 1302.
The mont they were inside, Jiangg Yao’s possessiveness swelled to an unprecedented degree. She stood on her toes, wrapped her arms tightly around Chen Yuan’s neck, and nuzzled his nose, her hot breath washing over his face.
"Let’s kiss on the sofa. Put the stuff down first," Chen Yuan didn’t refuse, wrapping an arm around her waist.
"No, right here. It’s more exciting here."
"Alright then, you like excitent, do you..." Chen Yuan felt a surge of excitent himself. He looked down at Jiangg Yao’s delicate face. Her mature, powerful woman-style outfit today was very much to his liking. The image of the proper Jiangg from the auditorium stage overlapped with the little devil that was his girlfriend now.
Chen Yuan suddenly lifted her up and set her on the entryway cabinet, turning the tables on her.
"What are you grabbing... I said kiss , why are your hands so restless?" Jiangg Yao’s face flushed so red it looked like it might bleed. She hadn’t expected Chen Yuan to be so forward, and the strange sensation made her feel particularly flustered.
"You’re my girlfriend. I’ll do whatever I want," Chen Yuan said as he started to take off his cumberso suit jacket. The younger one is, the more easily desire rises.
"Don’t take it off... The suit is part of the appeal."
