Chapter 28 Strategy: Day Twenty-Eight - Offering My Butt for Love...

I was almost fooled by her quiet and polite demeanor.

The result was the same as always; whenever he had the chance, he would think about taking advantage of him.

Nothing has changed.

Bai Jiangxin raised an eyebrow slightly.

The parking lot wasn't far from the community gate, and we arrived quickly.

She hadn't had enough of hugging her husband's slender waist before she had to get off the bus. Although she was reluctant to leave, she couldn't stay in their car any longer, so Xiang Di got off readily.

The parking spot was a bit far from the bakery, and Xiang Di, not wanting the conversation to become awkward, tried to make small talk: "Your electric scooter seat is quite soft, isn't it? It's very comfortable to sit on."

Bai Jiangxin gave a faint "hmm," and then said to Xiang Di, "I didn't expect you could actually ride an electric bike, that's impressive."

Bai Jiangxin suddenly asked her, "Can you eat with chopsticks?"

Xiang Di was taken aback: "Uh, yes."

"I didn't expect that," Bai Jiangxin said calmly, repeating what she had just said. "Impressive."

"..."

It took Xiang Di a few seconds to realize that Bai Jiangxin was laughing at her for making a fuss.

She immediately looked up at him, only to see his expressionless profile.

This guy always has such a cold and aloof expression when he's mocking people; I thought I'd see him smile.

He doesn't like to talk, so she just wanted to find a topic to praise him, but he didn't appreciate it. Xiang Di lowered her head and pouted speechlessly.

Oh well, what can I do? She likes him, so I won't hold it against her.

Finally, she stopped talking, and Bai Jiangxin, who had been staring straight ahead, glanced down to look at her expression.

Seeing that her cheeks were slightly puffed out, Bai Jiangxin casually curled her lips.

She should also know how insincere her praise was, how difficult it was to respond, and that it would have been better if she hadn't praised her at all.

Stepping into the bakery, the timing was perfect; the cheese puffs had just come out of the oven, and the entire bakery was filled with the aroma of cheese.

As soon as she entered the bakery, all her worries vanished, and she felt as if she had returned to her happy hometown. Xiang Di first bought two cream puffs, and then recommended some other desserts that she thought were delicious to Bai Jiangxin.

"This chocolate lava egg tart is especially delicious, and this mango mochi is also very tasty; the cream isn't too sweet at all. Oh, and the sea salt cheese lava mochi is absolutely amazing..."

After the introductions, it seemed there wasn't a single thing she disliked.

After the introductions, she asked Bai Jiangxin, "Which one would you rather try?"

Desserts all taste pretty much the same to him, Bai Jiangxin said: "Anything is fine."

"What kind of food do you prefer? For example, if you like fruit, tell me what kind of fruit you like so I can give you specific recommendations."

Although Bai Jiangxin couldn't hear her thoughts, she could roughly deduce her preferences from her expression. The desserts she had just recommended were probably all her favorites.

She herself has said that she is eager to recommend the things she likes to the whole world. Just now, when she mentioned her favorite food, her eyes lit up and she unconsciously smacked her lips as if she had already eaten it.

Bai Jiangxin said, "Then, chocolate, mango, and cheese."

Sure enough, the next second, Xiang Di excitedly gave him a thumbs up: "No wonder you're number one in the grade, you have such great taste."

It's less about him having good taste and more about her having good taste.

Bai Jiangxin watched as she picked out a lot of desserts she liked. When the bill came, the amount soared to three figures. The plate was full of desserts; you'd think she was buying supplies from a bakery.

"I made sure to bring my phone today," Xiang Di said.

Bai Jiangxin nodded and said, "Then you pay."

Xiang Di said, "Try them all later and see which one you like best. I'll treat you to some next time."

Bai Jiangxin: "Okay."

He pulled out his phone with a flourish, tilted his head back, and said to the shop assistant with a nonchalant air, "Hello, swipe my card."

She made it sound like she was swiping a black card when it was just a dessert that cost over a hundred yuan.

Coincidentally, the cashier was the same one from last time. The cashier remembered them well, so even though neither of them was wearing their school uniforms today, the cashier still recognized them.

Today, I was surprised to find that it was a girl paying again, and she was doing so happily.

And the guy just accepted it without a second thought, without even making a move to pay.

What does this girl see in him? Is it his good looks? He's handsome, but he's stingy. What good is that?

Making money is the most important thing in the world, and it's not easy to earn a pittance every day. The shop assistant suppressed his dissatisfaction, adhering to the principle of never interfering in other people's relationships, otherwise he would only make himself angry, and finished settling the bill for the two people.

After shopping, Bai Jiangxin was supposed to leave, but Xiang Di was reluctant to let him go so soon.

I finally got a weekend off to see him, and I wanted to spend more time with him.

The bakery was small, with only a few small tables, usually used as tables for customers who were in a hurry and had nowhere else to eat. Xiang Di said, "Well, it's best to eat the freshly baked cream puffs as soon as possible. Let's sit here and eat a few... Are you in a hurry? If you are, you can eat them on the way."

Bai Jiangxin: "No rush, please sit down."

Yay! That's great.

Xiang Di suppressed her excitement and led him to a small round table to sit down.

"Try it, these are freshly baked cream puffs, they're delicious."

As she spoke, she picked up the portion she had bought for herself, put on gloves, and eagerly took a bite.

One bite, and it was so delicious that he wanted to pound the table. Xiang Di couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't this what life is all about?"

She then asked Bai Jiangxin, "Fresh food always tastes better, right?"

Bai Jiangxin also took a bite and nodded: "Delicious."

"I knew no one could resist this cream puff, right?"

The recommendation was successful, and Xiang Di happily ate a few more. At first, she ate quite politely, taking several bites of each cream puff. But later, feeling unsatisfied, she put down the half-eaten cream puff, grabbed a new one, and stuffed the whole thing into her mouth.

Although stuffing a whole cream puff into her mouth at once was a bit too big, she just loved the feeling of biting into it and the cream squeezing out and filling her entire mouth.

In an instant, my mouth was filled with the salty and sweet taste of cream.

Xiang Di squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

Seeing her puffed-up cheeks and the look of enjoyment in her eyes, Bai Jiangxin also took a bite of the cream puff, trying to experience that feeling of enjoying it so much that her eyes were squinting.

It was indeed much tastier than the cream puff he ate at home before, but he didn't know if it was because the cream puff he was eating now was the freshest, or because the person in front of him was eating it so deliciously that it affected his taste buds.

After enjoying herself, Xiang Di realized that Bai Jiangxin was sitting right in front of her.

Oh no, I got so caught up in the food that I forgot to maintain my ladylike image of eating in small bites.

She opened her mouth, trying to explain that she didn't usually eat like this, but before she could swallow the cream, a little bit of white, viscous liquid flowed out from between her lips.

The melted cream in her mouth flowed out, and Xiang Di quickly closed her mouth. She subconsciously reached for a tissue, but the dress she was wearing today didn't have any pockets for tissues, so she hadn't brought any, and she hadn't asked the shop assistant for any.

Wiping with her hands, which were wearing disposable gloves, would only make the problem worse. She didn't want to appear flustered in front of Bai Jiangxin, so she pretended nothing had happened, covered her mouth with her hand, and carefully stuck out a little bit of her tongue to lick the corner of her mouth.

She thought Bai Jiangxin hadn't noticed, but as soon as she put her hand down, Bai Jiangxin raised an eyebrow and directly reminded her, "There's still one side that hasn't been licked clean."

Xiang Di let out a sound, and subconsciously stuck out the tip of her tongue, which, like a small detector, licked to the left and then to the right.

The tongue is a very important organ in the mouth. Because it stays in the warm and moist mouth all year round, its surface is covered with a layer of transparent saliva. Bakeries are very particular about the lighting in order to make the food in the store look delicious. Under the delicious warm light, the small tip of the tongue is reflected with a crystal-clear light, moistening the pink lips.

Bai Jiangxin's calm expression suddenly tightened, and he quickly turned his head away.

Xiang Di assumed that his sudden frown and turning away from her meant he was disgusted by her licking the cream, so she quickly explained, "Well, actually I wanted to get some tissues to wipe it up, but I don't have any on hand right now..."

"Actually, I don't usually eat like this. I just haven't had cream puffs in a long time, so I ate them a little too quickly. Last time I was supposed to eat some at school, but Wang Sichen ruined it..."

As Xiang Di was explaining this, she suddenly remembered Wang Sichen. She had been so focused on buying things for Bai Jiangxin that she had forgotten she also needed to get one for Wang Sichen.

Luckily, it was still early, and the cream puffs hadn't sold out yet, so I quickly bought one for Wang Sichen.

Xiang Di got up and went to buy cream puffs again, asking Bai Jiangxin to wait for her, which also gave her a chance to calm down.

You're such a pig-brain! You forget everything as soon as there's food around. No wonder Xiang Sheng always calls you a pig!

Xiang Di berated herself while resignedly going to queue up to buy cream puffs again.

Bai Jiangxin sat in his seat, watching her back as she queued up. Judging from her anxious tone when she was explaining, she probably wasn't trying to seduce him on purpose.

If it wasn't deliberate seduction, then it's even more despicable.

He looked away with a confused expression, but his gaze inadvertently fell on the half-eaten cream puff she had just eaten, which still had traces of her saliva on it.

The physical contact just now was purely physical; he only heard two of her inner thoughts. If he ate this cream puff, it would probably keep him going for a while longer.

Bai Jiangxin, whose eyes were fixed on the half-eaten cream puff, suddenly realized something.

Wait, what is he thinking?

He's crazy. He's a germaphobe. How could he possibly eat someone else's leftovers?

Even though it was just a thought and he didn't put it into action, Bai Jiangxin was still embarrassed by his own dark idea. He lowered his head in frustration and kept rubbing his forehead with his fingertips.

I really shouldn't have made that phone call that night, and I definitely shouldn't have asked Grandpa how he could hear someone's inner voice again.

Knowing something will make you think about it, so it's better not to know.

She was thoughtful; knowing he was a germaphobe and didn't like sharing food, she bought two portions—one for her and one for him.

...Now it's all good; she's a clean and tidy girl, and he's the one who's dirty.

...

Xiang Di queued up again to buy Wang Sichen a cream puff.

When she was paying, the cashier looked at her with pity in her eyes. Finally, when she finished scanning the code and was about to leave, the cashier called her back.

It's heartbreaking to see such a pretty girl go astray by a stingy man. She seems like a good girl raised in a wealthy family, so why does she have to make things difficult for herself?

A guy doesn't have to be handsome, but he can't be stingy. The shop assistant kindly reminded him: "Young lady, I really can't stand it anymore. You should at least let your boyfriend pay for something once. You can't expect him to pay for a cake, no matter how handsome he is."

Xiang Di suddenly widened his eyes.

The shop assistant assumed that her wide eyes meant she had suddenly realized something and come to her senses. However, Xiang Di asked in a low and excited voice, "Boyfriend? Do we really look that well-matched?"

Shop assistant: "Huh?"

Xiang Di's face lit up with joy, and she looked down at her outfit again.

No, I finally managed to get along so well with Bai Jiangxin today, we're both so handsome and beautiful, people will mistake us for a couple, it would be such a waste to just go home like this.

I have to go for a stroll on the street, and it would be best if a few people misunderstood me!

Xiang Di's mind immediately conjured up a series of clever schemes. She smiled and thanked the shop assistant, then turned and left. Under the shop assistant's twitching gaze, she happily returned to her stingy "boyfriend's" side.

The shop assistant shook his head in despair.

Love-struck people are hopeless. Oh well, let's respect their fate, wish them well, lock them up, and let whoever wants to interfere.

-

Xiang Di originally planned to finish the cream puffs before leaving, but Bai Jiangxin seemed to have already put away hers.

He also told her, "You should put your cream puff away too, and eat it slowly when you get home."

Xiang Di didn't want to eat at home, because Xiang Sheng would definitely take it from her again. But Bai Jiangxin didn't want to eat anymore, so she had no choice but to obediently put the cream puff away.

After leaving the bakery, Bai Jiangxin walked straight towards where the electric vehicles were parked.

Go for it, Xiang Di! After today, who knows when we'll see him in casual clothes again!

Seeing that Bai Jiangxin had already gotten on the electric scooter and was about to drive away, Xiang Di hesitated for a long time. This time, her courage finally overcame her fear.

"That one! Bai Jiangxin..."

Bai Jiangxin: "Is there anything else?"

"I suddenly remembered I need to go to the nearby bookstore to buy a book," Xiang Di said. "Could you give me a ride?"

Buying books as an excuse sounds quite formal, and it also makes her seem cultured and a book lover.

Moreover, as a top student, Bai Jiangxin should not have the heart to refuse the request of a little girl who loves to read, right?

Sure enough, Bai Jiangxin asked, "Where is the bookstore?"

He pointed in a direction and said, "Oh, it's over there, not far, very close."

Bai Jiangxin didn't say anything, but simply took a helmet from the back seat of the car and handed it to her.

"Put it on."

Xiang Di knew he had agreed, but she asked, "If I wear it, what will you wear?"

Bai Jiangxin: "I don't like wearing this thing."

I carry it with me at all times, just to deal with traffic police occasionally.

Xiang Di's eyes widened: "How can that be! What if something happens?"

“You’ll be responsible if anything happens. Who told you to go buy books?” Bai Jiangxin said. “Get on.”

Xiang Di: "..."

Why is this person trying to shift the blame? The driver should be responsible for the accident, what does it have to do with her as a passenger?

However, if it's about taking responsibility for him, then she's willing!

With a little trickery, Xiang Di finally managed to ride on Bai Jiangxin's electric car again.

After sitting down, Xiang Di placed the cream puff on her lap, holding it in one hand and holding onto the handrail at the back of the electric scooter with the other, without touching him at all.

She had already made excuses to have him take her to the bookstore, and he had even allowed her to hug him just now. Bai Jiangxin was speechless, truly not knowing what she was still afraid of.

They're bold when they're thinking, but when it comes to actually doing something, they're as timid as an ant.

Bai Jiangxin said, "Hold on tight, let's go."

Xiang Di said firmly, "Hold on tight! Let's go!"

The bookstore is two kilometers away. Today is the weekend, and not only is the motor vehicle lane full of cars, but the non-motorized vehicle lane is also full of cars. On the non-motorized vehicle lane, which is wide enough, there is an old man riding an old-fashioned bicycle leisurely.

Just as he was about to hit the old man's butt, Bai Jiangxin suddenly changed direction.

Xiang Di, sitting in the back, knew nothing. All she knew was that the electric scooter suddenly turned a corner, and she almost fell off. She screamed in fright and immediately grabbed Bai Jiangxin's waist.

Still shaken, she quickly asked, "What happened!"

Bai Jiangxin said, "There's a rock ahead."

Xiang Di immediately cursed, "Who put the stone in the driveway? How could they be so inconsiderate?"

Bai Jiangxin said calmly, "You should hold me; it'll be more stable that way."

Xiang Di thought so too; compared to all that pretense of modesty, her own life was more important.

Moreover, she always wanted to hug Bai Jiangxin's waist, but she just didn't have the guts.

So I have to thank the person who threw the stone. Although it was unethical, at least it gave her an opportunity, hehe.

Feeling hands encircle her waist, but still sitting upright, Bai Jiangxin suddenly asked her, "Are there any side streets nearby that are closer to the bookstore?"

Xiang Di winked: "Are you going to take a shortcut?"

"Um."

There definitely is. After all, the city here is characterized by its complex road system, with many streets and alleys. Xiang Di was actually a little reluctant to tell him, because telling him meant that they would be at the bookstore very soon.

But if she didn't tell him, Xiang Di was afraid he would use navigation to find it himself, and then she wouldn't be able to explain it.

She reluctantly said, "There's a small path over there, it's closer."

A few minutes later, Bai Jiangxin drove onto the side road, and Xiang Di quickly regretted telling Bai Jiangxin about the side road.

It's not because it saves more time, but because... it's too bumpy!

Although the path is short, its drawbacks are obvious: it is complicated, has many turns, and is uneven.

Xiang Di could only endure it, not daring to say it was too bumpy, for fear that Bai Jiangxin would be unhappy and might kick her off the bus. He had kindly driven her to the bookstore without charging her, and she still dared to complain? He was simply inhuman.

bouncing around like this, Xiang Di could only mutter to herself.

She was sitting on the back of the electric scooter, sideways, and was being jostled around so much that her body was completely out of control. Every now and then she would bump into Bai Jiangxin, then straighten up, and then bump into him again the next second.

And so, her fragmented thoughts entered Bai Jiangxin's mind.

Oh my god, this is so bumpy, it's killing me...

[Damn it, who... who... built this road...?]

Just as she was mentally cursing the road a thousand times, Bai Jiangxin suddenly asked her, "Is the road bumpy?"

Xiang Di: "No, no, it won't bounce!"

What I was really thinking was: "My butt is being bounced around so much it feels like it's going to split into four pieces!"

Bai Jiangxin asked again, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiang Di: "I don't feel bad, I don't feel bad!"

Bai Jiangxin: "Would you like to get out of the car and rest for a bit?"

Xiang Di: "No need, no need, I'm fine!"

My true thoughts are: [I finally managed to get on the back of my husband's car, and today I'm going to die here, my butt stuck to this seat!]

There's a poem that goes something like this: "Life is precious, but one's buttocks are more valuable; yet, for the sake of one's husband, both can be sacrificed."

[Poor butt, just imagine you're being spanked by your husband right now. It's for fun, don't feel pain, you should feel pleasure!]

[Mmm, that feels so good... Waaah, my butt's going to swell up!]

"..."

Ugh, I'm really fed up with her.

Bai Jiangxin bit her lip, trying not to laugh out loud.

The electric scooter drove into a small alley, which was full of old courtyards, mostly inhabited by local elderly people. The weather was nice today; although it was cold, the sun was out, and many of the elderly people had brought out stools and were sitting in front of their courtyards chatting and basking in the sun.

Suddenly, an electric scooter drove past the elderly people. On it were two young children. The girl sat in the back, her face scrunched up under her helmet, looking uncomfortable. The boy sat in the front, but he had a smile on his face. The road was uneven, and the boy drove sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and he didn't drive in a straight line. He kept turning, so the girl's body was forced to bump lightly against his back.

The boy would occasionally ask the girl if she was feeling unwell, and she would immediately say no, while continuing to look pained.

The boy, with his cool and handsome features, had a mischievous smile playing on his lips. He hummed in agreement and continued driving forward.

One foolishly gave up his ass for love, while the other thoroughly enjoyed it.

Although the elderly people are old, they are not blind.

Tsk tsk, that's so shameless, this handsome young man.
