Chapter 72: "He seduced me."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Ci asked doubtfully.

"Oh, it's so aloof. It just ignored me... and the other customers, by the way," Yu Xiang explained. "Now it seems it's picking on people."

Jiang Ci hesitantly stretched out a finger and poked the Border Collie's head: "..."

Border Collie turned his head and looked at him, frowning as if expressing dissatisfaction.

Yu Xiang tried to hold back his laughter, but failed: "What does it mean if you touch it or poke it, hahahahaha!!"

Jiang Ci was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then finally opened his palm and gently touched the furry dog's head.

The Border Collie squinted its eyes comfortably, grinned and continued to stick out its tongue.

"It's said that Border Collies are smarter than many humans." Yu Xiang walked over to the Border Collie, squatted down, and reached out to stroke its fur. "So, do you think you're smarter, or is it smarter?"

As he spoke, he raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and looked at Jiang Ci curiously.

Jiang Ci withdrew his hand, calmly stared at Yu Xiang for a few seconds, and then asked seriously, "Are you sure you want to compare your boyfriend to a dog?"

Yu Xiang raised an eyebrow: "Is it not possible?"

"Can't."

"I think it's okay. Dogs are good friends of human beings. You can't discriminate against them." Yu Xiang answered confidently.

Just when he thought he had successfully choked Jiang Ci to the point of being speechless, he heard Jiang Ci curl his lips in an ambiguous way, then calmly raised his chin towards Yu Xiang's "left and right protectors" and asked, "So, who do you think is more handsome, you or them?"

Yu Xiang was stunned. He lowered his head and exchanged glances with one of the Huskies, "..."

This Husky is so innocent, with a silly temperament. When it saw Yu Xiang looking at it, it tilted its head without knowing what was going on.

Looks even sillier.

"Ahem." Yu Xiang raised his head again and coughed lightly as if to cover up. "I suddenly think what you said makes some sense. It's really not appropriate to compare different races horizontally."

Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say that racial discrimination is not allowed?"

Yu Xiang: "After thinking about it carefully, this shouldn't be considered racial discrimination... Stop laughing."

Jiang Ci's smile widened. Seeing that his verbal warning was ineffective, Yu Xiang could only step forward in anger. However, halfway through, Jiang Ci seized the opportunity to grab his wrist and used a little force to pull him directly -

Yu Xiang was caught off guard and sat down on Jiang Ci's thighs: "!!!"

Everything happened so suddenly that Yu Xiang was stunned for a moment before reacting: "What are you doing?"

This dog cafe has a large space, and there are not many customers besides them at this time. Jiang Ci chose a seat in the corner, with large bookshelves on both sides as partitions, so it did not attract any strange looks.

"Do you remember why you came out?" Jiang Ci's low voice sounded from behind his ear, and the warm breath swept across his earlobe, making him feel a little itchy.

"Out to eat—" Yu Xiang almost answered "eat" directly, but fortunately his fluctuating emotional intelligence saved him in time, and he quickly said, "Eat and date."

"From the time we came in and ordered juice until now, the total time you've spent with me has been no more than five minutes." Jiang Ci's tone was clearly calm, but Yu Xiang felt increasingly guilty the more he listened. "But you played with the dog for a full twenty minutes. Do you have any idea?"

Jiang Ci was particularly petty when he was jealous. Yu Xiang knew that he couldn't confront him head-on. In a panic, his eyes fell on the drink on the table. With a sudden thought, he tried to change the subject: "Your drink looks delicious. Let me try it..."

However, this trick was no longer effective. Jiang Ci knew his little tricks very well: "Try it after you finish answering."

Yu Xiang stretched out his hand: "Let's try it first. I'm a little thirsty——"

Jiang Ci reacted quickly and grabbed Yu Xiang's outstretched claw first: "No."

"Okay, I confess." Yu Xiang had no choice but to admit it reluctantly.

"Only verbal confession?"

"So what else do you want?"

"There should be some practical action as compensation."

"Let me be clear, I don't have money to treat you to a meal."

Jiang Ci held his forehead helplessly, once again speechless about someone's worrying emotional intelligence.

But it doesn’t matter, there is still a long way to go, and he is willing to teach slowly.

Since Jiang Ci still had to practice driving, the number of times they met and the time they spent together were relatively less in the following period of time.

Yu Xiang had originally planned to enroll in a driving school, but when he saw the scorching sun outside, he backed off and ultimately chose to stay home to eat, sleep, and play games.

The day for the results to be released soon arrived, and many people sat in front of their computers early, so nervous that they kept refreshing the web pages.

"Brother Yu!!! I passed the undergraduate entrance line!!!" Zhang Miao called and almost deafened Yu Xiang.

He had to hold the phone a little further away: "Congratulations, but don't be so loud. Please be kind to my ears."

"Brother Yu, I'm so excited." Zhang Miao said embarrassedly on the other end.

"Where's Lao Fang? How is he?"

"He got in, too, and scored five points higher than me." Zhang Miao's words were filled with unconcealed excitement. "By the way, Brother Yu, how did you do on the exam?"

Yu Xiang glanced at the computer screen, which was still stuck on the login screen, and said awkwardly, "I haven't checked yet."

"Ah? Why haven't you checked it yet? Is the website down because there are too many people?" Zhang Miao asked curiously.

"Not really, I'm just not ready yet." In fact, Yu Xiang had prepared himself mentally for more than an hour before receiving Zhang Miao's call, but he still didn't have enough courage to click the query button.

"It's okay, Brother Yu. You've worked so hard, there will definitely be good results." Zhang Miao said carefully, "Where's Brother Jiang? Isn't he with you?"

"He wants to practice driving, so he should be..." Before Yu Xiang finished speaking, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Chen Xiaomie came up a few times just now. She didn't close the door when she left, so it was half-open. Logically, she could have just walked in.

So he turned his head in confusion, only to see Jiang Ci's hand still knocking on the door. When he saw him looking over, he asked calmly, "Can I come in?"

"Brother Yu, why are you suddenly silent? Why do I seem to hear Brother Jiang's voice?"

"You heard right." Yu Xiang dealt with Zhang Miao for a moment, then stared at Jiang Ci for a moment. "Don't you want to practice driving? Have you checked your results? What's your score?"

"We're checking our grades today, and the coach has specially approved ending it early." Jiang Ci walked into the room with long legs, closing the door behind him. "We've finished checking the grades. Aunt Chen said you sat in front of the computer for two hours and didn't dare to check your grades?"

Yu Xiang curled his lips: "My mother really tells you everything."

"I would have come even if she hadn't told me." Jiang Ci was already quite familiar with the layout of Yu Xiang's room. He went straight to the corner, got a chair, and sat down next to Yu Xiang. "Why don't you dare to check?"

Yu Xiang glanced at the computer screen and sighed, "Because I'm unsure."

"I believe you did well on the test."

Yu Xiang looked at him doubtfully: "Are you so confident in me?"

"Why not?" Jiang Ci's hand was already on the mouse. "I witnessed your efforts firsthand."

"Ahem!" An untimely cough came from the phone - the forgotten Zhang Miao chose the latter between silently hanging up the phone and showing his presence.

Jiang Ci looked in the direction of the voice.

Yu Xiang belatedly remembered Zhang Miao's presence: "Oh no, I forgot I was on the phone with Sanshui."

Zhang Miao complained angrily, "Brother Yu, didn't you promise not to forget your friends just because of a beautiful woman?"

Yu Xiang turned on the hands-free mode and pretended to be calm as he shifted the blame to Jiang Ci: "He seduced me."

Zhang Miao: "So it's the evil concubine who's ruining the country...Brother Yu, you shouldn't have turned on the hands-free mode, right?"

Yu Xiang turned his face away guiltily: "Sorry, Sanshui, it just opened a second ago."

He originally thought that they were all quite familiar with each other and there was nothing he couldn't hear, but he didn't expect that Zhang Miao would be tricked in this way.

Although Zhang Miao's expression was invisible, his trembling voice revealed how embarrassed he was. "What's that? Brother Jiang, listen to my excuse..."

"It doesn't matter. It was indeed me who seduced him." Jiang Ci said calmly.

Zhang Miao: “???”

Zhang Miao: "Fuck, Brother Yu, you've turned Brother Jiang into this in just twenty days? That's amazing!"

"Don't slander me. He's always been like this. He's just pretending to be nice in front of you." Yu Xiang interrupted him, unable to bear it any longer. "I told you guys a long time ago not to be so critical of him, but you just didn't believe me."

Zhang Miao said shyly, "After all, his face is really deceptive."

"Let's talk later. I'll help him check his scores first." Jiang Ci said to Zhang Miao.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot something. Hurry up and check it out. Lao Fang and I are waiting."

"So sudden? Aren't you going to prepare for it?" Yu Xiang's heart was in suspense again when the score checking was mentioned.

"You've been preparing for so long, it's time to get ready. Since you don't dare to check, I have to do it for you." Jiang Ci held out his hand to him, "Can you still find your admission ticket?"

"Here you go." Yu Xiang handed him the admission ticket that he had been holding in his hand.

Because I held it too tightly, it has become wrinkled.

But Jiang Ci didn't mind at all. He took it and unfolded it, then started entering the information according to the admission ticket number on it.

Yu Xiang simply closed his eyes and forgot to ask Jiang Ci if he knew his ID number.

Half a minute later, he heard Jiang Ci say to him gently, "Open your eyes."

Yu Xiang pursed his lips nervously: "Tell me first whether the result is good or bad."

“I can only say that it lived up to expectations.”

Hearing this, Yu Xiang finally mustered up the courage to open his eyes. When he saw the score displayed on the screen, he was stunned. He was stunned for more than ten seconds before throwing himself into Jiang Ci's arms, hugging his waist tightly and burying his face in his shoulder to hide his impending tears.

He did it.

Jiang Ci hugged him with one hand and gently patted Yu Xiang's back with the other hand: "I told you you can do it."

Yu Xiang muttered a dull “hmm”: “Thank you.”

Jiang Ci laughed: "You should thank yourself."

"What? How many points?" Zhang Miao was so anxious that he almost wanted to get out of his phone. "Why don't you tell me how many points you have?"

Considering Yu Xiang's current mood, Jiang Ci answered for him: "518 points."

Zhang Miao instantly gasped: "Mr. Duo?!"
