"Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao was startled, but quickly realized what was happening.

"This bracelet must be very expensive..." She gently touched the diamond-encrusted surface of the bracelet, feeling both surprised and a little apprehensive.

"Hmph..." Shi Jing chuckled lightly, tilting his head slightly to look into her eyes and asking, "Does Chaochao like it?"

"I like it." Zhu Jinzhao said honestly, "I've never seen this style of bracelet before. It's very special, and I really like it."

Shi Jing: "If Chaochao likes it, then it's worth it."

"...So it's very expensive, isn't it?" Zhu Jinzhao looked up at Shi Jing with obvious fear in her eyes.

Shi Jing raised his hand and touched her face, giving only an ambiguous answer: "It's not very expensive for me."

Zhu Jinzhao: "Not very expensive, how much do you mean?"

"Hiss..." Shi Jing frowned, not wanting to tell Zhu Jinzhao the true price of the bracelet, but Zhu Jinzhao looked determined, as if she absolutely had to know.

Shi Jing couldn't bear to refuse her, so after thinking about it, he told her the price of the bracelet.

"It's really not expensive." He flicked his finger to wipe the tip of his nose, then suddenly looked away from Zhu Jinzhao's eyes. "It's only about 500,000 to 600,000."

"……ah?!!"

Zhu Jinzhao's voice suddenly rose, and his expression instantly turned terrified.

"Only a few hundred thousand?!" Every word Shi Jing said made her feel incredulous. She looked down at the bracelet on her wrist again, and after only a moment of stunned silence, she immediately tried to take off the bracelet, which weighed at least a thousand pounds.

"Don't move!" Shi Jing was faster than her. Just as her hand touched the bracelet, Shi Jing quickly raised his hand and pressed the bracelet onto her wrist.

"If you dare take off the bracelet, I'll get angry immediately and you won't be able to coax me no matter what you do. You'll see!"

Zhu Jinzhao: "..."

Shi Jing spoke so fast that it took her several seconds to understand what he had just said.

"you……"

You're not allowed to refuse me!

Just as Zhu Jinzhao was about to speak, Shi Jing interrupted him loudly.

Shi Jing frowned as he looked at her, his lips slightly downturned, and his eyes filled with fear. He looked pitiful.

"Please, Chaochao, don't reject me." His hand was still tightly gripping Zhu Jinchao's wrist. As he said this, he gently swayed his body, giving the impression that he was being coquettish.

"..." Zhu Jinzhao blinked blankly, suddenly at a loss for words.

"Chao Chao..." Shi Jing pouted affectedly, suddenly starting to play the victim and act pitiful, "This is the first time I've mustered up the courage to give a girl something, so please just accept it, okay?"

Zhu Jinzhao: "But it's too expensive! Over 500,000 yuan, that's enough to buy several of my lives!"

"Nonsense!" Shi Jing glared at her reproachfully. "Your life is priceless; no amount of 500,000 could buy it back."

"Please accept this, I'm begging you!"

Zhu Jinzhao hesitated: "But..."

"If you don't accept it, I'll jump off the building!" Shi Jing deliberately put on a stern face, pretending to be very serious. "If you don't accept the bracelet, I'll jump off the building to scare passersby!"

Zhu Jinzhao: "..."

Shi Jing: "I'm going to eat rat poison and steal the rats' food. I'm also going to hide on the highway and jump out to scare the big trucks to death as soon as they come by!"

Zhu Jinzhao: "..."

Seeing that these threats were ineffective, Shi Jing immediately came up with a new excuse.

"If you don't accept the bracelet, I'll tell my dad! I'll make him come and beg you himself!"

With that, he turned and left.

"Hey—" Zhu Jinzhao quickly stopped him.

"What are you doing?" Shi Jing raised his chin high, looking arrogant.

"..." Zhu Jinzhao couldn't stand him anymore and punched him directly.

"Fine, I give up... I'll take it, okay?"

"Hehe." Shi Jing's expression changed instantly, and he started grinning again. "Thank you, Chaochao."

Zhu Jinzhao raised her wrist and looked at the bracelet on her wrist with heartache under the bright lights: "It's a bracelet worth over 500,000 yuan. Every time I look at it, I feel like I'm wearing half a house on my wrist."

"Half a house?" Shi Jing narrowed his eyes, somewhat incomprehensible. "Where can you find houses this cheap?"

"..." Zhu Jinzhao punched him again, "You can't reason with a super-rich second-generation like you!"

"You've explained it clearly." Shi Jing held her wrists in his hands, admiring his masterpiece with satisfaction. "I will try my best to understand every word Chaochao says."

"You..." Zhu Jinzhao bit her lip, suddenly feeling that the walk-in closet was too small and stuffy. She had only been there for a short while when she felt hot all over.

"You...you weren't going to take a shower?" She pulled her wrist back, put her hands behind her back, and walked stiffly out of the dressing room.

Shi Jing followed behind her, his gaze burning as he stared intently at the blush on her cheek. He said softly, "I'll go wash up now. You sit in the room and wait for me."

"Go on, go on." Zhu Jinzhao waved to him with her back turned, then found a small sofa and sat down obediently.

Shi Jing took a quick shower; the sound of running water didn't last long before he came out of the bathroom, drying his hair.

Zhu Jinzhao was still sitting on the small sofa, tilting her head and playing on her phone. Shi Jing leaned against the bathroom door, drying her hair while gazing at Zhu Jinzhao's back, feeling a strange sense of warm comfort in her heart.

Actually, he just lied to Zhu Jinzhao.

Zhu Jinzhao was not the first girl to enter his room, but the first person to enter his room.

He was a bit of a germaphobe and extremely protective of his privacy, never allowing anyone to set foot in his room. It's no exaggeration to say that even his closest male friends had never been inside.

Including Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was a frequent visitor to his house, coming every few days to freeload meals and steal things. Qin Ming had lain down in every part of his house except his own room.

Therefore, Zhu Jinzhao was the first person besides him to enter his room.

He was used to being alone in the room, and now that there was suddenly someone sitting on the small sofa waiting for him, he felt not only curious but also particularly at ease.

It's as if a piece of his heart was missing many years ago, but only now has that piece been replaced by Zhu Jinzhao.

"Zhao Zhao." He put the towel away and walked towards Zhu Jinzhao.

Zhu Jinchao turned off her phone and looked up at him: "Are you done washing up?"

Shi Jing: "I'm done washing up, let's go downstairs."

Zhu Jinzhao nodded: "Mm."

The home theater was on the basement level. A few people took the elevator down, lay down on the sofa, and then randomly chose a movie that was currently showing.

The movie contained some explicit scenes, and as the group was blushing with embarrassment, a sudden, urgent phone call rang.

"Whose call was that?" Qin Ming asked lazily.

“...ours,” the three voices answered simultaneously.
