Jiang Tian, a renowned渣女 (scorned woman/player) in her lifetime with countless boyfriends, was recruited by the Main God after her death to become an invincible host for the Female Lead group.<...
Lu Sihe believed his guess was correct.
Otherwise, how can we explain Ji Feihan, a young man who has seen it all, suddenly becoming obsessed with a nanny?
After a moment's thought, Lu Sihe decided to continue observing Jiang Tian for two more days.
If she's ambitious, she'll definitely slip up.
My friend has very little experience in relationships, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to help vet potential partners since he's staying at my place.
Having made a decision, Lu Sihe finally felt less depressed.
He let out a long breath, deliberately blocking out his personal emotional evaluation of Jiang Tian, intending to view their relationship from an absolutely rational perspective.
Seeing Lu Sihe still lost in thought, Ji Feihan couldn't help but kick him: "Can you eat faster? We've all finished eating, and Jiang Tian is waiting to clean up."
“It’s alright, Mr. Lu may have something on his mind, just let him eat,” Jiang Tian quickly said.
When Lu Sihe came to his senses, he realized that the other two had stopped eating a long time ago, while he had only managed to eat a few bites intermittently.
He smiled and put down his chopsticks: "I'm finished eating."
"Mr. Lu, please eat more. You haven't eaten much, and you'll be hungry tonight."
Jiang Tian's eyes were filled with concern.
Lu Sihe lowered his eyes slightly. If he hadn't witnessed that scene with his own eyes, he might have truly believed that Jiang Tian was an honest and kind person.
"I'm really full, Sister Jiang, you don't need to worry about me."
"Did you hear that? He said he's finished eating, so you don't need to worry about him anymore? He's a grown man with arms and legs, he's not just for decoration."
Ji Feihan was very impatient with Lu Sihe.
Jiang Tian could only nod. She also specifically told Lu Sihe where the snacks were, so that if he got really hungry at night, he could get up and find something to eat.
Lu Sihe politely thanked him.
After finishing their meal, there was nothing left to do. Ji Feihan coughed and said to Jiang Tian, "There's a spot in the study that's not very clean. Why don't you come and clean it again?"
Jiang Tian was silent for a few seconds: "How about we sweep it tomorrow? It's so late today."
"But I need to use the study to work, could you help me clean it?"
After meeting Ji Feihan's gaze for a few seconds, Jiang Tian softly said, "Okay."
The two exchanged flirtatious glances, but Lu Sihe could only pretend not to receive their ambiguous signals and focus his attention on the book in his hand.
Soon, Jiang Tian and Ji Feihan went upstairs together with their tools.
After closing the study door, Ji Feihan's face showed a hint of worry: "Lift up your back so I can see."
The corner where they were having their date was quite secluded, but Jiang Tian was too close to the wall, and he was too reckless. He hadn't noticed until during dinner, when Jiang Tian bent down to tidy up her things and unconsciously frowned. He looked more closely and realized that Jiang Tian might be injured.
With Lu Sihe in the living room, Ji Feihan couldn't ask about the specific situation, so he could only find an excuse to have Jiang Tian come to the study.
Going to the bedroom might evoke certain thoughts, but the study is perfectly normal.
Jiang Tian paused for a few seconds after hearing his words, then shook her head: "I'm fine."
"Sweetie, let me see, okay? If everything's alright, I'll feel more at ease."
Seeing her resistance, Ji Feihan could only try to coax her.
But Jiang Tian was determined not to let him see it.
If there was really nothing wrong, she wouldn't have done that.
Ji Feihan panicked and forcibly pulled Jiang Tian into his arms, lifting her clothes.
Her once fair and delicate back was now covered in several bruises.
The scars were rather gruesome.
Ji Feihan had long known that her skin was fragile, and upon seeing her injury, he was overwhelmed with guilt.
"I'm sorry," Ji Feihan said, his voice muffled.
"It's really okay, I didn't feel much pain."
Jiang Tian could tell he was very down, so she could only try to comfort him.
Even though she was the one who was injured, she still had to comfort him. Ji Feihan felt more and more that he was not human.
"You stay here quietly, I'll go get the first-aid kit."
Seeing that Ji Feihan's aura was very low, Jiang Tian agreed without saying anything.
Ji Feihan quickly brought over the first-aid kit. He used to get into fights a lot when he was young, so he was experienced in treating wounds.
"If it hurts, just yell it out."
As Ji Feihan applied the medicine to Jiang Tian, he spoke softly.
"It doesn't hurt, it's really nothing."
The more understanding Jiang Tian was, the more heartbroken Ji Feihan felt.
After the injury was treated, his eyes were red with heartache.
Jiang Tian looked up and saw him like this. She sighed, silently moved closer to him, kissed his forehead, and then kissed his lips.
If she were this proactive on a normal day, Ji Feihan would have gone crazy long ago, but this time, his eyes were even more sore.
“Don’t hold back your grievances. I’m the one who hurt you, and you still have to comfort me. Why are you so good to me…” Ji Feihan carefully rested his head on her shoulder. “I’m becoming more and more dependent on you.”
Jiang Tian gently stroked his hair: "If I had been wronged, I would have said so long ago. I only feel sad when I see you unhappy."
With just that one sentence, Ji Feihan's eyes immediately lit up.
He didn't dare ask Jiang Tian if she liked him a little, afraid of getting a disappointing answer, but just having those words was enough.
The two of them cuddled together in the study for a very long time.
Lu Sihe took out his watch and looked at it. Two hours had passed, and they still hadn't come out.
Even a place like a study can be used for illicit activities...
He was just about to put down his book and go back to his room when he saw Ji Feihan and Jiang Tian coming out one after the other.
Lu Sihe wanted to make a few jokes to prove that he hadn't noticed the relationship between the two.
Ji Feihan spoke first: "Jiang Tian was slightly injured in the study. She won't be doing housework this week. It's not convenient for her to go back to her house to recover, so I'll let her recover here. You can take care of whatever you want to eat yourself, don't bother her."
Lu Sihe paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Jiang Tian: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just bumped my back." Jiang Tian said with a gentle smile.
Lu Sihe almost lost control of his expression.
The fact that he bumped his back after spending two hours in the study speaks volumes.
For some reason, Lu Sihe suddenly felt an emotion that he couldn't explain.
He could only pretend to understand: "Then Sister Jiang, you should rest well and go back to work after you've recovered from your injury."
Jiang Tian nodded.
Ji Feihan instructed Jiang Tian, "Be careful when you get back."
"I see."
The moment the two locked eyes, a myriad of emotions surged forth.
Lu Sihe didn't greet them; he put down his book and went back to his room.
He felt uneasy until the mystery was solved, and even after obtaining the real answer, he still couldn't muster any enthusiasm.
Even he couldn't explain why.
The next morning, around six o'clock, Ji Feihan sneaked into Jiang Tian's room.
This kind of injury requires regular dressing changes to heal quickly, so he set an alarm clock specifically to help Jiang Tian recover sooner.
I knocked on the door with the least amount of force, and it opened.
Jiang Tian's eyes showed nervousness: "Mr. Lu didn't see it, did he?"
