Chapter 1207: Chapter 683: Testing Out
“Chuchu, you’ve lost weight.”
As Jiang Ning’s words fell, the atmosphere in the bedroom beca stagnant.
Jiang Ning’s palm was placed on Chuchu’s cool, moist thigh, gently rubbing through the thin skirt.
Xue Chuchu’s body trembled, the moisture in her eyes almost spilling over.
She had never imagined being treated this way by Jiang Ning; knowing soone’s face, not their heart, he actually treated her like this when Tongtong wasn’t around.
And with this excuse, in this manner.
Testing if she’s lost weight? How frivolous…
Is he worthy of Tongtong’s trust, worthy of… himself?
Xue Chuchu felt an extre confusion, in her heart, Jiang Ning was like the neighborly older brother, clear, elegant, responsible, but now…
She originally thought she would beco good friends with Jiang Ning, respectful and courteous, but who knew he would…
At this mont, Xue Chuchu felt intense disappointnt towards the world.
Xue Chuchu imdiately wanted to get up, rush out the door, escape Jiang Ning’s clutches.
However, Jiang Ning’s palm, as if imbued with strange magic, emitted faint currents, softening her legs, quivering her body, unable to muster any strength.
Xue Chuchu sat dumbfounded, her mind hazy.
A girl in a simple white long dress, a bright red face, eyes like water cut with a dreamy, dazed look, beautiful enough to make one want to taste her sweetness.
Only then did Jiang Ning slowly withdraw his hand.
He noticed that Chuchu’s condition was off; it seed his unintended action had greatly stimulated Chuchu.
So Jiang Ning thought for a few seconds, and with a light cough, brought Xue Chuchu back to her senses.
Xue Chuchu looked silently, the sparkle in her eyes dimd, clear and cold.
Like last winter, when Jiang Ning first saw her, she was clearly just an ordinary girl, always carrying so heaviness.
The cold around her seed to solidify all grievances and pains, yet always inadvertently revealed so soft sadness.
Xue Chuchu remained silent, as if silently expressing her desolation.
She regained so strength, but did not rush to leave, even she herself didn’t know what she was waiting for.
After this accidental touch, Jiang Ning roughly understood Chuchu’s state; the road is long indeed.
He decided to explain, speaking the first sentence: “It’s all Tongtong’s fault.”
Xue Chuchu listened quietly.
Jiang Ning was clear in his logic: “Today you brought so food over, you know Tongtong’s character better than , she’s afraid of snacking, so she put the bowl on my lap, creating difficulty out of thin air. I could only reach into the bowl to get things.”
“Because I was watching a movie, it beca instinctive, until just now.”
Finally, Jiang Ning summarized: “I just made a careless mistake.”
He spoke sincerely, with earnest attitude: “I’m sorry.”
Xue Chuchu’s face softened a lot, she’s not foolish; suddenly stimulated earlier, she panicked and felt uneasy, now she sorted out the details.
Xue Chuchu realized, Jiang Ning’s actions were not intentional, he was unintentional.
Xue Chuchu’s mood gradually cald, since it wasn’t intentional advantage-taking, it ant Jiang Ning was still his usual self, not vulgar or lewd.
“Mm, it’s okay,” Xue Chuchu softly said.
Jiang Ning: “Really sorry.”
“Wait while I get sothing,” Jiang Ning left the bedroom, walked to the living room, opened the refrigerator, and took out a few strawberries, picked from Hu Qi Mountain, they were spirit fruit.
That silly Tongtong, has no idea Jiang Ning hid tasty things in the refrigerator.
He picked up a glass box, returned to the bedroom, placed it in front of Chuchu, saying: “A peace offering.”
Xue Chuchu stared at the luscious strawberries, seeming to sll a faint fragrance, speechless for a long ti.
‘What is this? Compensation?’
‘Does he think he’s Tongtong?’ Xue Chuchu felt strange inside.
Jiang Ning: “Originally intended to eat tonight, finished watching the movie earlier, let’s try it together.”
Saying that, he took one, using the right hand that had touched Chuchu’s thigh earlier, handed a strawberry to her.
Xue Chuchu opened her lips and bit down.
The extraordinary taste of spirit fruit in the Cultivation World made her decide to first eat the strawberry to calm her emotions.
…
When Tongtong finished her household tasks and returned, she found that Chuchu had left.
Xue Yuantong saw the unmoved Gundam and humd: “I told you, Chuchu definitely wouldn’t assemble the Gundam, she’s studying every day, ruining her brain!”
Xue Yuantong took a bite of braised edama, continued assembling the Gundam.
Jiang Ning brought out a palm-sized piece of jade, doing crafts beside Tongtong.
Xue Yuantong saw this and said, “What are you making, for ?”
Jiang Ning: “A jade chain, the type where each link connects.”
Xue Yuantong thought for a mont, then imdiately widened her eyes, “Is it like a gold chain? That’s super difficult!”
Jiang Ning used a pencil to draw chains on the jade, explained: “Possibly harder than you think, because the interlocking jade chain isn’t strung together, but carved bit by bit from a single piece of jade using hollow carving thod, if any single link has a problem, the whole piece is ruined.”
Among all jade carving techniques, the craft revered by jade sculptors is live ring chain carving.
Even in ancient tis, craftsn who mastered this skill were typically highly valued, most live rings consisted of only two rings, instead of a jade chain made up of countless jade rings.
Just listening, Xue Yuantong could imagine the difficulty.
Seeing her shock, admiration, and respect, Jiang Ning’s lips curled up.
“Who are you going to give it to?” Xue Yuantong blinked, “Once you’re finished carving, you’ll definitely give it to soone, right?”
