Chapter 62: The Sixty-Second Day of the Abstinence Plan!

He seemed to be hinting at something, but Xiang Di wasn't sure.

Xiang Di: [What are you doing?]

Bai Jiangxin: [Think for yourself.]

It was already late, and they had to go to school the next day. After saying goodnight to each other, Xiang Di prepared to take a shower.

So much happened today, so much that she's still not quite over it. When she brushes her teeth, she can still taste Bai Jiangxin's flavor in her mouth.

The toothpaste has a cool mint flavor, but it doesn't smell as good as his.

Stepping into the bathroom, the water pressure from the showerhead wasn't too high, but it was just right for my skin, giving me a feeling of being gently caressed by warm water.

As the water swept over his chest, Xiang Di couldn't help but shudder. He looked down and gave a wry smile.

He kissed you on the lips, not on the lips, so why is your mouth so swollen? Is that reasonable?

Xiang Di sighed, trying to cover up the bodily fluids with the water from the shower.

She knew exactly what that feeling was like.

It is unsatisfied desire.

...How could it be so easy? Sigh.

After showering, the underwear was indeed a mess. She had always washed her own underwear since she was a child, and she had dealt with sticky stains before, but this was the first time Xiang Di had felt ashamed while washing her underwear.

After washing up, Xiang Di lay down on the bed and took out her phone to review the chat history she had just had.

Seeing the sweet messages Bai Jiangxin sent her, Xiang Di felt increasingly uneasy.

Bai Jiangxin seemed to know what she was thinking. He had guessed her thoughts several times today, and just now he had even spoken her innermost thoughts.

He even asked her today if she could read minds. This isn't a movie; how could she possibly have such a mysterious superpower?

But since he asked, he couldn't help but make Xiang Di pay attention to the matter of mind reading.

...Could he have mind-reading abilities?

"That's ridiculous!" Xiang Di quickly shook his head.

Impossible, impossible. It's the 21st century now. How could there be such a mysterious superpower? Besides, if Bai Jiangxin really had it, he wouldn't be jealous of Qianqian today.

Because if he knew her inner thoughts, he would definitely know that she was not only heterosexual, but also exclusively in love with Bai Jiangxin.

He told her to be bolder and do whatever she wanted. He underestimated her. Her three-year-long unrequited love, once it exploded, would be terrifying.

It was so terrifying that she felt she should go see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and get some herbal medicine to calm her anger.

Bai Jiangxin, you are truly ignorant and fearless, daring to say such terrible things.

What I want to do for you is what spring does on the cherry tree.

Xiang Di silently rejoiced that he didn't know any of this; if he had, she might as well have hanged herself on the spot.

She absolutely must not let Bai Jiangxin know that she is a lecherous woman who lusts after him all day long.

Looking at the dwindling countdown to the college entrance exam on her phone, Xiang Di realized this couldn't go on. This constant dissatisfaction was ruining her health before the exam even started.

She usually likes to watch some erotic content and think about erotic things, especially during her senior year of high school, when it became more and more frequent. But that was because the pressure of studying was too great, and she had to use sex to relieve stress.

People need to see some risqué stuff to have the energy to study.

But Bai Jiangxin was too effective for her; he was practically a walking aphrodisiac. He didn't even have to do anything; just appearing in front of her made her happy. He only had to kiss her once, and her breasts would get hard, and she would be completely aroused.

She felt great and relieved tonight, but too much joy and stress relief isn't good either. For example, she still had half a math test paper left to finish, but she couldn't concentrate on it because her mind was full of him. She'll have to go to school tomorrow morning to finish it.

Bai Jiangxin is right. It's a very wise decision to wait until after the college entrance exam to officially establish a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Right now, nothing is more important than the college entrance exam in a month.

As expected of the academic genius she had secretly admired for three years, he was rational and calm enough, which made her like him even more.

She wanted to learn from him. How can a person do whatever they want? What's the difference between a person and an animal then?

So Xiang Di made a great decision: before the college entrance examination, she decided to temporarily abstain from sex.

-

After the parent-teacher meeting, it was just another day like any other.

The school is still the same school, the classrooms are still the same classrooms, but something seems different now.

During morning self-study, fewer people are joking and chatting, while more people are standing in the corridor reciting their lessons. During breaks, fewer people are playing on their phones, while more people are catching up on sleep or quietly doing their homework.

Perhaps after the parent-teacher meeting, the parents went home and had a serious talk with their children about the college entrance examination, life, and the future. Or perhaps everyone realized that there really wasn't much time left.

Bai Jiangxin had already prepared herself for the difficult month ahead of her, enduring the pressure of someone's lewd thoughts on her studies, but that didn't happen.

When he arrived at the classroom for morning self-study, Xiang Di was already there reciting English words.

Upon seeing him, she only thought to herself, "Ugh, how embarrassing! We just kissed yesterday, hehehe," before giving him a forced, natural smile and continuing to memorize English vocabulary.

The first class was Chinese. The Chinese teacher told everyone to do as they pleased, so Xiang Di hurried to finish the math test she hadn't completed the day before the second math class.

The four classes in the morning passed peacefully.

Bai Jiangxin even doubted whether yesterday's kiss was an illusion; he hadn't tasted her saliva, so he couldn't hear her thoughts.

But he could indeed hear her silently reciting the words in her mind as she wrote them down while taking notes in class.

During the lunch break, Xiang Di came over with two physics problems to ask him for help.

It was still about the forces acting on the wooden block, and it was still about calculating the frictional force acting on the block. Bai Jiangxin, who had a phobia of friction problems, explained it somewhat reluctantly, but after explaining both problems, nothing happened.

Xiang Di listened attentively, thanked him after understanding, and then returned to her seat to tidy up and prepare for her lunch break.

It was the season of spring drowsiness and autumn fatigue, and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, so she quickly fell asleep.

The world fell silent; the only sounds in the classroom were the soft rustling of pages turning and writing, and the whistling of the wind slipping in from outside.

Having not slept enough during lunch break, Xiang Di also felt sleepy as the afternoon classes passed in a series of yawns from her classmates. Occasionally, she would drift off into her own thoughts while listening to music.

When one's mind wanders, it's easiest to let one's thoughts wander. She rested her chin on her hand, staring blankly at the tall locust tree outside the classroom window. Bai Jiangxin heard her singing "Seven Mile Fragrance".

The sparrows outside the window are chattering on the telephone pole; you said that, and it really brings to mind summer~

After finishing one song, she started singing the next one, mentally creating a Jay Chou hits extravaganza.

When she finally got tired of singing, she wondered what dishes the cafeteria would serve that night. She thought about all sorts of things, but nothing related to her studies.

I didn't think about him.

Bai Jiangxin: "..."

What's wrong with her?

Where is her yellow brain?

Then, during evening self-study, Xiang Di came over to him again with some questions to ask for help.

Wang Sichen offered her his seat, and Xiang Di sat in his place, laying out all the unsolved problems she had accumulated throughout the day in front of Bai Jiangxin.

Xiang Di said sincerely, "Please give me your guidance."

【Dating a genius is so awesome! No need to spend money on tutoring classes anymore!】

[Baijiangxin brand tutoring machine, Mom no longer has to worry about my studies!]

Bai Jiangxin: "..."

He told her not to be polite, and she actually treated him like a dedicated tutor.

Xiang Di's weakest subject is chemistry. She asked some difficult questions, and at first she understood them quite well. However, after Bai Jiangxin went into more depth, she started to have some difficulty understanding.

Ammonium chloride is a salt of a strong acid and a weak alkali, so why is its concentration lower than that of sulfate ions after hydrolysis...?

[Oh no, I'm starting to not understand anymore.]

Just as Bai Jiangxin was about to explain the problem to her again based on the parts that confused her, Xiang Di finally started to lose focus, her gaze shifting from the question to the fingers holding the pen.

My husband's fingers are really beautiful, and his nails are perfectly manicured. Does anyone know why? They're perfect for picking at me...

His fingertips trembled involuntarily, but he felt a sense of relief.

Yes, this is the real her. Others might see his long, slender fingers and think they're perfect for playing the piano, but she would think his fingers are perfect for doing that kind of thing for her.

But the thought didn't last more than three seconds before Xiang Di immediately stopped it.

No, no! I can't think about this!

She smiled at him and said, "Um, I didn't understand the part about ammonium chloride. Could you explain it to me again?"

Bai Jiangxin: "..."

Why can't she think about it? Who said she can't think about it?

During the next evening self-study session, Xiang Di's heart kept teetering on the edge of craving him and not being allowed to.

Who exactly forbade her from having a sweet tooth? What gives her the right to act so arrogantly?

Despite his doubts, he continued to explain the problem to her. After two evening self-study sessions, Bai Jiangxin took her home.

After a long day, Xiang Di cherished the rare opportunity to be alone with someone. However, perhaps due to overworking herself with her studies all day, she started yawning shortly after getting on the bus.

Bai Jiangxin noticed that she was sleepy and said, "Go to sleep if you want. I'll wake you up when we get there."

Xiang Di agreed, then glanced hesitantly at his shoulder.

Bai Jiangxin knew that she had fallen back into her old habit of wanting something but not daring to say it, so he didn't say anything, but simply reached out and turned her head to lean on his shoulder.

"Go to sleep."

In the past, she would have been too excited to sleep, her mind would have been racing, and she might have even forced herself to stay awake just to enjoy the moment.

But at this moment, Xiang Di felt only immense peace of mind, because she knew this wasn't the last time, and she would have many more opportunities to sleep with him in her arms.

So she closed her eyes with peace of mind, letting her mind go blank, and enjoying the quiet moment after school.

The weight on his shoulders wasn't heavy, but it was very noticeable. Bai Jiangxin felt it all the way until the bus was about to arrive at its stop.

He called her name but she didn't respond. Bai Jiangxin looked down and saw that she still had her eyes closed, and her eyelashes didn't even move.

If she was pretending to be asleep, he would know for sure that she was truly asleep at that moment.

Bai Jiangxin had no choice but to raise his hand and gently pat her cheek.

Xiang Di was woken up by being patted, opened his eyes groggily, and let out a sleepy "hmm".

"Have we arrived?" she asked.

"One more stop," Bai Jiangxin said. "Let's get ready to get off."

"Hmm, there are still two minutes left, let me sleep for two more minutes."

She closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Bai Jiangxin found it both funny and exasperating, and slightly turned his body to lift her head off his shoulder.

Xiang Di opened her eyes again. She was still not fully conscious, but when she saw Bai Jiangxin's face so close to hers, she was instantly jolted awake.

Can you believe she's really asleep?

She probably didn't drool, right?

Xiang Di stuck out the tip of her tongue and cautiously probed the corner of her lips.

Seeing her lick her lips, Bai Jiangxin's eyes darkened.

Xiang Di also realized that her lip-licking action just now seemed a little improper.

They were sitting in the back of the bus, where no one was sitting. The passengers in front wouldn't look back for no reason. The bus was traveling at night, and the neon lights outside the window dimly illuminated the interior. This distance and this atmosphere were actually quite suitable for kissing.

And just thinking about how I kissed those lips yesterday makes me inexplicably crave to experience it again.

Just as Bai Jiangxin was almost unable to bear the distance and was staring at her lips, preparing to kiss her, Xiang Di suddenly shouted in her mind.

【Oh no, no, no kissing! If you say you're going to quit pornography, you have to quit.】

This shout stunned Bai Jiangxin.

What should I give up?

They didn't get to kiss, and the bus arrived at its stop. Xiang Di said, "We've arrived!"

After getting off the bus, the bakery downstairs from her apartment was still open. Xiang Di went in and bought a cream puff, shared half with him, said goodbye to him happily, and turned to go home.

From her brisk back view, Bai Jiangxin heard her assessment of the entire day.

[What a perfect day! Keep it up!]

Bai Jiangxin: "..."

Where is it perfect?

-

The following week was a perfect week for Xiang Di.

To stay committed to her plan to quit pornography, Xiang Di even deleted all the pornographic content she had accumulated over the years from her cloud drive. However, she had already made a copy beforehand and sent it to her brother so that he could keep it safe.

Xiang Sheng initially thought it was some kind of treasure, but when she opened it, she found it was full of erotic books, comics, and short-form anime aimed at women.

Includes, but is not limited to, "After the last train, a night spent in a capsule hotel exchanging warm words with my boss..."

Underneath the Skirt Lies a Beast

Sweet Punishment

XL Boss

And "The Lustful Night of Intercourse with a Monk".

Xiang Sheng felt that her cloud drive was dirty.

He immediately knocked on Xiang Di's door and questioned her about what she had sent him.

"Are you crazy? Why did you send me this stuff? If I get arrested by the cyber police, just you wait, I'll expose you one hundred percent."

"Oh, I can't do that," Xiang Di comforted her brother. "Can you keep this for me? I need to focus on studying this month and can't look at these things. You can return it to me after the college entrance exam."

"If you want to focus on reviewing, why don't you just delete it yourself?"

"These high-definition, white-light-free resources are hard to find, and there are no ads in the middle. Dude, anyone who has downloaded porn knows how valuable these resources are. It would be a shame to just delete them."

"..."

Indeed, the cyber police are cracking down hard now, and many websites have been shut down, making it very difficult to find high-definition torrents.

The world is vast, but the family member taking the college entrance exam is the most important. Considering she only has one month left before the exam, he decided not to argue with her and would deal with her after the exam.

"You can keep studying," Xiang Sheng said, rubbing his temples. "If you dare to fail the college entrance exam, you can forget about getting these things back."

"Okay." Xiang Di nodded obediently. "I'm just asking you to keep these for now, so don't peek at them."

Xiang Sheng: "What the hell are you talking about?!"

Xiang Di hugged himself tightly: "Brother, Mom and Dad will be very sad if you do this."

"..."

Xiang Sheng cursed "crazy" with a dark face and slammed the door shut.

Now that her resources were being kept safe, and she had restrained her fantasies about Bai Jiangxin at school, she gave Di a light victory snap and continued to bury herself in her studies.

What a joke! From her first year of high school to her third, she was a super-efficient student who raised her score from 480 to 630 through her own hard work and her deep love for Bai Jiangxin. It's just a matter of temporarily abstaining from sex, it's so easy for her.

-

The abstinence program is progressing steadily, and the senior students of No. 14 Middle School are also taking their second mock exam.

Xiang Di was lucky during the first mock exam and was assigned to the same exam room as Bai Jiangxin. However, she was not so lucky during the second mock exam, as her exam room was located far away from Bai Jiangxin's, one in the east and one in the west.

Bai Jiangxin did not want to be in the same exam room as Xiang Di. He did not want her feelings to affect him during the exam, thus affecting his grades.

The reason he started to care about exam scores was because he knew Xiang Di's character all too well; she just liked his academic genius aura and his good grades.

Two months ago, he made a mistake on a biology quiz and scored only 60 points. He will never forget the look of disillusionment in her eyes at that time; it was truly heartbreaking.

Upon seeing the exam room arrangement, Bai Jiangxin initially thought he would be glad that he wasn't assigned to the same exam room as Xiang Di, but he wasn't.

For the past two weeks, Xiang Di has been studying diligently.

She has now changed her way of relieving stress. Whenever she gets tired of studying, she listens to some soothing instrumental music or white noise on her phone. She also brings some stress-relieving squeezing toys to school and squeezes them whenever she has a spare moment.

She gave him a massage device a couple of days ago, recommending it to him to relieve stress. She also gave some to Ye Minjia and the others.

So for the past two weeks, she hasn't fantasized about him even once. Even if she occasionally sees his face and can't help but want to get close to him, she quickly restrains herself and keeps thinking about a plan to quit pornography.

Logically speaking, this should be a good thing, both for her and for him. He has peace and quiet, she has a normal way to relieve stress, and she has finally turned over a new leaf.

but.

The second mock exam is tomorrow. Bai Jiangxin was holding a stress-relieving toy in his hand, but no matter how he squeezed it, it didn't feel right.

So who the hell made her give up pornography?

Bai Jiangxin threw the small toy onto the table.

He didn't want to squeeze this.

He wanted to sculpt something else.

Unable to concentrate on the exam, Bai Jiangxin got up, intending to go downstairs to get a glass of water.

Just as I finished pouring the water, Bai Guang returned.

Recently, his father has been coming home more often. Bai Jiangxin knew perfectly well that his father wanted to get closer to him, but he was too embarrassed to tell him directly. So he made the excuse that he wasn't too busy at work lately, which is why he had time to come home and sleep.

Bai Jiangxin didn't expose his father, pretending not to know. He wasn't particularly happy about his father coming home more often, but he didn't object either.

Bai Jiangxin greeted his father, "You're back."

"Yes," Bai Guang said. "I saw the notification in the parents' group. The second mock exam is tomorrow, right?"

"yes."

"It's just a simulation; just take the normal exam."

"Um."

They fell silent.

After all, the father and son had been strangers for more than a decade, and it was impossible for them to completely eliminate their estrangement and resentment just because of one night.

After finishing a glass of water, Bai Jiangxin said, "I'm going upstairs."

"Wait a minute, your school is holding a coming-of-age ceremony for you. Have you prepared the dress you're going to wear that day?" Bai Guang said. "Should I have Secretary Yang take you to the shop I frequent to have a suit custom-made?"

Bai Guang rarely buys ready-made clothes; almost all of his clothes are handcrafted custom-made from high-end luxury stores. His son's eighteenth birthday celebration was his first suit as an adult, so it was important to pay attention to it.

Bai Jiangxin said, "No need, I've already bought it."

"You chose it yourself?"

"I guess so." After a pause, Bai Jiangxin said, "Someone also gave me advice."

Bai Guang nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He then said, "If I'm not busy that day, I'll try to go to your school."

"Okay, if you're really busy, you don't have to force yourself."

Today's conversation wasn't exactly one of parental love and filial piety, but it was peaceful, at least without any confrontation.

After Bai Jiangxin went upstairs, Bai Guang slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Take your time.

Bai Guang loosened his tie, sat on the sofa, took out his phone, and continued to deal with the messages he hadn't finished processing.

After replying to work messages, I logged into my personal account to see if there were any messages that needed replying.

One day, a message came in the afternoon. The profile picture was unfamiliar, and he hadn't added a note. Only after clicking on it did he realize that it was his son's classmate's aunt, a lady surnamed Luo.

I met her for the first time at the airport. She was a very young girl, full of the vitality and brightness unique to young girls, and she was very enthusiastic towards me.

She tried her best to restrain herself and praised her niece in front of him. Bai Guang, who was used to social niceties, could not possibly not tell that she was saying nice things to increase his favor towards the girl named Xiang Di.

He was the parent of his son's classmate, so when she asked for his contact information, Bai Guang had no reason to refuse. If his niece really had something going on with his son, then he shouldn't have refused even more.

Miss Luo asked him if he would visit the school for its coming-of-age ceremony.

Bai Guang replied with an uncertain answer.

I waited a few minutes without a reply; they must be resting.

Bai Guang turned off his phone screen and closed his eyes for a short nap, but the phone turned on again in less than a minute.

I thought it was a reply from Ms. Luo, but it turned out to be a friend request.

Bai Guang opened the application, which contained only one sentence.

【I am Jiang Ruya.】

Bai Guang didn't click "agree" and simply ignored it.

After he went upstairs to his room, the other party sent him another application.

[Is Xin'er taking the college entrance exam soon? I've already booked a plane ticket for mid-June; I plan to come back and see him.]

Bai Guang curled his lip, did not agree to the application, and instead sent a reply directly.

Just looking?

The other party replied a few minutes later: 【Xin'er is already eighteen years old and has the right to choose her own future. I am now a visiting professor of genetics at HMS, and what I can give her is no less than what you can give her.】

-

The process for this second mock exam was the same as the first, and it was conducted entirely according to the time constraints of the college entrance examination.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The teachers grading the papers seemed to have gained experience, and the results came out even faster this time than in the mock exam.

The second mock exam was slightly more difficult than the first, and the undergraduate admission line was also lower. Xiang Di studied her scores and found that although her score was a little lower than the first mock exam, her ranking in the range remained unchanged. After the scoring was adjusted, her total score was still in the top 15 in the region.

I don't aspire to be a dark horse in the college entrance exam and score 700; that's too unrealistic. As long as I can maintain this score, that's a victory.

Because the second mock exam was more difficult, the scores for the whole grade did not improve this time. The teachers had originally hoped that Bai Jiangxin could get more than 700 points this time, but that expectation was not fulfilled.

Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but Bai Jiangxin's ranking in the city also dropped, falling from first to sixth.

Even if he drops to sixth place, he can still choose any of the top universities in the country, but it's impossible for the teacher not to feel anxious.

On the day the results were released, he called Bai Jiangxin to his office and also called over the other teachers to analyze Bai Jiangxin's grades and see which subject had dragged him down.

You can't tell anything from the scores; at most, it's just a difference between 150 and 145, or 100 and 95. No teacher wants to admit that their subject dragged down the overall score. Chen Jinghua could only ask Bai Jiangxin, "Which subject do you think had a problem?"

Bai Jiangxin replied directly, "No problem."

"What happened?" Chen Jinghua asked patiently. "Have you been under too much academic pressure lately?"

Bai Jiangxin nodded: "It should be."

“That’s normal,” Chen Jinghua said. “Why don’t you skip evening self-study for a while and go home to rest? Or you could ask Ye Minjia to go out with you to relax and relieve stress?”

Bai Jiangxin shook his head: "No need."

Chen Jinghua: "So what are your thoughts now?"

...

Chen Jinghua talked to Bai Jiangxin in the morning, and then unexpectedly announced in class in the afternoon that they would be changing seats, and that this would be the last time before the college entrance examination.

As he spoke, he projected the new seating chart directly onto the screen.

Xiang Di silently prayed that she could be Qianqian's deskmate this time, or at least continue to be Zhou Linxiao's deskmate. But when she looked, damn it, why did the teacher arrange for her to be Bai Jiangxin's deskmate again?

Her plan to abstain from sex was progressing smoothly; she had refrained from doing it for over half a month, and the revolution was about to succeed. We shouldn't disrupt her plans at this crucial moment.

Others had already started moving tables. Zhou Linxiao was also very reluctant to part with Xiang Di. Recently, he and Liang Qianqian had been getting together every day during lunch break to listen to Xiang Di tell her aunt's exciting love story. However, this time, the seating arrangement meant that his seat was a whole group away from Xiang Di's, making them worlds apart.

Seeing her desk placed next to Bai Jiangxin's desk again, Xiang Di was overjoyed last time, but this time her feelings were mixed.

My plan to quit pornography... ahhh!

Xiang Di hesitated before speaking: "Um..."

Bai Jiangxin asked directly, "Want to change seats?"

Xiang Di's eyes lit up.

Bai Jiangxin replied calmly, "Dream on."

Quitting sex is a load of rubbish. Who gave her permission to quit after just one kiss?

This is no different from turning your back on someone after you've put your pants on. I shouldn't have kissed you so many times that day.

Bai Jiangxin was unwilling to change seats, so Xiang Di had no choice but to try to persuade him.

"Well, I don't think it's really appropriate for us to be deskmates at this crucial moment."

"Why is it inappropriate?" Bai Jiangxin said. "Are you worried that I'll affect your studies?"

"Of course not!"

【Otherwise what? My grand plan to quit pornography!】

Xiang Di, of course, couldn't admit it, so she continued, "I've heard that you only got sixth place in the city in the second mock exam, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Jiangxin frowned instantly: "What do you mean? You're not satisfied with sixth place in the city?"

Xiang Di was stunned: "Huh? What does this have to do with whether I'm satisfied or not?"

Bai Jiangxin stared intently at her with his dark eyes: "Are you disgusted?"
