Chapter 11 A Mischievous Idea

So in the end, Shi Jin still revealed his sexy collarbone amidst Bai Zhenzhu's sarcastic remarks.

Bai Zhenzhu looked at him with satisfaction, "That's more like it, you're starting to look more like a man!"

"White Pearl! My figure is not something that just anyone can peek at. You'd better pretend you didn't see anything, obediently continue drawing, and leave my house as soon as you're done."

He's always so clueless about romance, which has made Bai Zhenzhu lose all interest in creating.

I listlessly set up the easel, looking at his bitter expression.

"Young Master Shi Jin, I'm here to ask you to be a model, not to have you mourn. Can you smile? Strike a more handsome pose?"

Shi Jin arrogantly said, "I don't need to pose to be handsome."

It's two different things when someone compliments you on your looks and when you say you're handsome, okay?

Bai Zhenzhu rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.

"Then please, Young Master Shi Jin, who is handsome without needing to pose, help poor Pearl strike an even more handsome and charming pose, okay?"

Shi Jin finally followed Bai Zhenzhu's instructions, first changing her clothes to a white T-shirt and blue jeans, and then getting a Korean-style hairstyle.

He sat on a beanbag chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a pretentious financial magazine in his well-defined hand. Sunlight shone on his handsome profile, making him look extremely relaxed and content, a picture of tranquility.

"Yes, yes, that's the angle!"

Bai Zhenzhu held up a pencil, closed one eye, and gestured as she drew a sketch in Shi Jin's direction.

Shi Jin is indeed a masterpiece of the Creator; even a simple act of reading a book in the sunlight can stir one's heart and make one feel love at first sight.

...

Time passed second by second.

Before we knew it, it was dark.

Shi Jin felt like he was becoming a living fossil. Every time he tried to move around, he would be scared back by Bai Zhenzhu's threatening look.

"Just one last stroke, Shi Jin, stay calm, you're the best!"

Whether I'm the best or not is none of your business!

Shi Jin had reached the limit of her patience.

Who's so kind as to sit still for 5 or 6 hours straight, without even being allowed to drink water?

Finally, the last stroke was finished.

Bai Zhenzhu let out a heavy sigh of relief. "Alright, Shi Jin, your mission is complete! You can move now!"

Bai Zhenzhu stood up, her hands dangling in mid-air. Her hands, face, and clothes were covered in watercolor paint, making her look like a little kitten.

As soon as Shi Jin stood up, he felt as if he heard a crisp "crack" sound from his shoulder.

He glared angrily at Bai Zhenzhu.

Bai Zhenzhu pretended not to understand and ran to the restroom.

A little while later, Bai Zhenzhu's soft humming came from the bathroom.

She was quite happy, but he was really tired and hungry.

He quickly grabbed his phone and ordered a bunch of takeout, preparing for a retaliatory meal.

When the white pearl came out.

The takeout is already laid out.

"Wow! Shi Jin, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, preparing so much delicious food. To be honest, I'm a little embarrassed."

While saying she was embarrassed, Bai Zhenzhu was already sitting at the dining table, eagerly waiting to be fed.

"White Pearl, have you always been this shameless? Did I ever say I was going to treat you to a meal?"

He wasn't being ungentlemanly; he was just still angry with Bai Zhenzhu.

What I hate even more is her overly friendly attitude towards everyone; she has no sense of reserve whatsoever that a girl should have.

Bai Zhenzhu looked at Shi Jin pitifully and muttered, "Senior Shi Jin, how can you bear to let me leave hungry? You have no idea how handsome I drew you!"

Shi Jin didn't really want to get rid of her; he was just saying a few words of complaint.

"Leave quickly after you finish eating."

After coldly uttering those words, Shi Jin sat down opposite Bai Zhenzhu and began eating by himself.

...

During the meal, Bai Zhenzhu's clever little mind was constantly working.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. What should she do to make Shi Jin give up on confessing his feelings?

And that little bottle in her bag...

She bought it at the pharmacy on the way here.

As Shi Jin wolfed down his food, he glanced at her unexpectedly and saw a calculating glint flash across Bai Zhenzhu's pure face.

An alarm bell rang in my mind.

This woman never plays by the rules; I wonder what she's up to this time.

"White Pearl, what are you thinking about now?"

When Bai Zhenzhu was called by name, she abruptly looked away from her bag and said with a little panic, "What could I be thinking? I was just wondering whose restaurant these dishes are from, how can they be so delicious!"

Bai Zhenzhu gave an awkward laugh, then said, "Senior Shi Jin, do you have any drinks? I'd like to have something to drink."

"Yes, what would you like to drink?"

"Anything is fine, as long as it's cold..."

Shi Jin didn't think much of it, got up and went to the kitchen to get her a drink, and also took one for herself.

Just as Shi Jin entered the kitchen, Bai Zhenzhu immediately took out a small bottle from her bag, which contained some crushed white powder.

She glanced guiltily at the kitchen, then struggled for less than three seconds before pouring all the powder into Shi Jin's winter melon and pork rib soup.

Then she put the bottle back in her bag, sat back down as if nothing had happened, and continued eating her meal.

Just as he picked up the spoon, Shi Jin came out of the kitchen.

He found nothing.

But Bai Zhenzhu's palms were already covered in sweat.

She really went too far with this one.

They could easily end up in jail.

But Bai Zhenzhu is all about thrills; everyone has to go crazy at least once in their life!

And she wanted to share this madness with Shi Jin...
