Dog Egg looked disdainful, casually withdrew his gaze, and followed the scent of Yuan Jiang.

Cloud Pavilion and Waterside Pavilion.
He Li prepared a table full of delicious food, thoughtfully serving food, removing fish bones, and pouring wine, but Yuan Jiang didn't even touch her chopsticks, simply crossing her arms and calmly watching He Li.
When will you finish eating?
He Li paused in his chopsticks, then chuckled and said, "Yuan Jiang, I'll start eating whenever you do."
Yuan Jiang paused for a moment, picked up her chopsticks, took two bites, raised an eyebrow, and said sarcastically, "Aren't you going to eat?"
"Thank you for your concern, Jiang Jiang. I'll eat right away." He Li smiled.
"He Li, do you like me?" Yuan Jiang asked directly, her small hands resting on the table and her fingers supporting her chin.
“I thought I made it very obvious.”
“I have someone I like, you don’t need to waste your time on me.” Yuan Jiang glanced at the time, it was already 7:30 pm, and she felt a little uneasy. Would Gou Dan be worried if she didn’t go home so late?
When He Li heard Yuan Jiang say that she had someone she liked, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. His long, dark eyelashes slowly lifted, and he stared straight at Yuan Jiang: "I like you very much. You're different from those other boys. Yuan Jiang, don't be in such a hurry to reject me. Maybe you'll like me in the future."
“I thought you could understand human speech.” Yuan Jiang stood up, raised her hand to brush a stray hair behind her ear, and said seriously, “I’ve already eaten this meal with you, and I’ve done what I promised you. Don’t come looking for me again.”
"Here's 50,000, I'll take it all." She took out a wad of cash from her backpack, placed it on the table, and walked away unhurriedly.
He Li's face turned completely cold. He quickly stood up and grabbed Yuan Jiang's wrist: "Yuan Jiang, don't test my limits."
Yuan Jiang's face tightened, and she turned around and slapped He Li across the face: "Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that!"
With a "bang," He Li's face turned red from the slap. He chuckled lightly, "Jiang Jiang, so angry..."
This is the first time someone has dared to hit him.
"Nonsense." Yuan Jiang forcefully shook off He Li's hand and left without looking back.
He Li didn't chase after her. He stood stiffly in place for a few minutes. After a long while, a hoarse chuckle escaped from his throat. His long, deep eyes gleamed with a dark light. He touched his swollen cheek, gasped, and said in a tone that was both doting and helpless, "Little girl, you really have a temper."
Outside the dimly lit window, a pair of eerie green eyes stared intently at the congratulatory gift.

When Yuan Jiang got home, the first thing she did was go to find Gou Dan. Gou Dan was sleeping on the big bed. When he heard her voice, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at her, and then closed them again, ignoring her.
"You naughty cat, you're ignoring me." Yuan Jiang smiled and rubbed his head. Seeing his sleepy look, she shrugged helplessly, picked out a light pink nightgown from the wardrobe, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
After taking a shower, Yuan Jiang dried her hair, sat at the dressing table, and fiddled with various bottles and jars, applying them to her face. After finishing, she lay in bed, played on her phone for a while, and then turned off the lights to go to sleep.
late at night.
A dim, green light flickered, and a young man stood by the bed, completely naked. His tall figure appeared even larger in the dim light, and his well-defined abdominal muscles gleamed coldly in the moonlight streaming through the window, beneath his prominent, pale collarbones.
His emerald-green, cold, and sinister gaze fell menacingly on the sleeping girl on the large bed. He slowly curved his lips into a smile, and a soft, hoarse voice echoed in the night:
"Master, you're so popular..."
