Chapter 31 Strategy: Day 31 - Touch My Abs
Xiang Di had just arrived home when Xiang Sheng had just gotten up.
The young man, sporting dark circles under his eyes and a messy head of hair, stood in the living room, yawning. His pajama pants were loose and baggy, with the center seam of the pants even wedged into his buttocks. He scratched his hair with one hand and reached into the back of his pants with the other to pull out the fabric stuck in his buttocks.
What the hell? To come home and see such an eyesore, Xiang Di felt her vision go black.
They're both men, so why is there such a big difference between them?
One of them even looks so cool when he puts on his helmet, while the other uses his right hand, which he uses to eat, to grab his butt.
Just thinking about how well this guy usually portrays himself online and at school, claiming to be the male god of the university and someone's crush, Xiang Di couldn't help but laugh.
Xiang Sheng noticed Xiang Di looking at him and arrogantly raised an eyebrow: "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy before?"
Xiang Di made a vomiting face and asked directly, "It's not even lunchtime yet, why are you up so early?"
Xiang Sheng shrugged and didn't say anything, but Xiang Di quickly found out.
The couple's parents came out of the bedroom. They were still wearing their work uniforms and carrying bags, so it was clear they had come back temporarily to get a change of clothes.
Upon seeing Xiang Di return, Xiang Rongqiang exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, my daughter's back!"
Luo Qinshu sighed: "Why aren't you home so early in the morning? Where did you go? You should at least tell your brother before you go out. He doesn't know anything when I ask him. What if something happens to you outside?"
Xiang Di held up the bag of desserts in her hand: "I'm just going downstairs to buy something to eat."
She rolled her eyes and pointed at Xiang Sheng, saying, "There's no other way, I'm just too hungry. He stays up all night playing games and doesn't get up during the day. He doesn't care about my meals at all, so I have to take care of myself."
Caught off guard by a lawsuit, Xiang Sheng exclaimed, "Hey!"
Upon hearing this, the couple immediately turned their anger towards Xiang Sheng.
"All you do is play video games all day! You stay up all night and don't get up all day! You don't even care about your sister's meals!" Luo Qinshu walked over and slapped her son hard on the back. "This is such an important time in your senior year of high school, with so much academic pressure, and you let your sister go hungry every day! Are you even a brother?!"
Xiang Rongqiang also accused her: "What if your sister gets sick from starvation? Are you going to take the college entrance exam for her?"
Luo Qinshu snorted coldly: "Let him take the exam? You're dreaming. He spent four years in college, and all his knowledge went to waste. He spends his days playing games or making those messy videos and posting them online to show off. If you let him take the college entrance exam now, I'd be surprised if he even gets into a junior college."
Xiang Sheng rubbed her back, which had been slapped red by her mother, and retorted with a mix of grievance and indignation: "If I had studied dog's belly, how could I have been guaranteed a place in graduate school? Besides, I make money from those videos, okay? Do you know how much I earn from one ad? More than your monthly salary, okay? Whether our family can live in a mansion in the future depends entirely on me, so please show me some respect, okay?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than another slap landed on his back, this time with even greater force; it was Xiang Rongqiang who had struck him.
"It's just a guaranteed spot in our own university's graduate program, not a hard-earned one. What are you being so arrogant about?"
“Your mother and I have a fixed salary every month, and we will receive a pension when we get old. We don’t care about living in your mansion. How much money you make from making videos has nothing to do with us. But Xiang Sheng, I advise you to film your videos properly with clothes on. Don’t pose like that and do anything suggestive. Do you know how embarrassed we were when your second aunt saw your video online a few days ago and sent it to your mother and me?”
Xiang Di burst out laughing.
Xiang Sheng's expression immediately changed, and her lips twitched: "My second aunt saw my video? No way, I clearly..."
Luo Qinshu handed over the phone: "See for yourself!"
Xiang Di also rushed over to watch the fun. It was indeed Xiang Sheng's video. Accompanied by a sexy and catchy background music, Xiang Sheng was doing something suggestive in the video, lifting his shirt to show off his abs.
This video was trending last week, with hundreds of thousands of likes and over 20,000 comments. There were very few serious comments, and the top comment was "drooling so much that the data cable got wet, and I got an electric shock while watching the abs."
The screenshot was sent by Aunt Erda, who used the ID "That Year, Flowers Bloom and the Moon is Full" and a Tianye profile picture. She also liked the video and commented, "My nephew is so handsome [thumbs up][thumbs up][rose]".
Xiang Sheng's face turned ashen, while Xiang Di gloated beside her. "I told you big data is such a terrifying thing. He's been trying to woo fans online every day, but eventually his family members will find out about it. We'll see what happens at the next family gathering."
“Your mother and I both work in respectable organizations, while our son is involved in something borderline. Is that appropriate?” Xiang Rongqiang warned. “Let me tell you, the country is cracking down on the sex industry. If I ever run into you while handling a case like this, don’t blame me for turning against my own family.”
Xiang Sheng pointed at herself incredulously: "Are you kidding me? I just showed off my abs, and that's considered erotic?"
Luo Qinshu showed no mercy: "Oh, so you have to expose your bird to be considered erotic?"
Xiang Sheng's pale face immediately turned red again: "Mom!"
That was really too crude. Xiang Rongqiang coughed lightly and reminded him, "Watch your words, our daughter is still here."
Luo Qinshu realized she had spoken out of turn and, not wanting to offend her daughter's ears, quickly shut up.
Little did they know that their daughter, Xiang Di, was actually looking down on it. What a load of rubbish! Why be so subtle? It's just a man's penis, the English name is penis, and the online name is J8. She pretended not to know.
However, on the surface, she still had to maintain the persona she was supposed to portray, and she covered her ears and said reproachfully, "Mom, what are you saying?"
Luo Qinshu sneered and immediately turned to Xiang Sheng, saying, "Xiang Sheng, look at you, you've corrupted your sister!"
Xiang Sheng now wished he could tear off his sister's mask. She had even read the most disgusting incestuous sibling stories, so what was she pretending for?
Since his video showing off his abs has already been leaked, well, let's just go all out and die together. Xiang Sheng sneered and said directly, "Mom, do you really think Xiang Di doesn't understand anything? Let me tell you, she *&%￥#——"
Xiang Di reacted quickly, rushing over and jumping up to cover Xiang Sheng's mouth.
“Mom and Dad, I actually think there are some benefits to my brother posting these videos. Look at how unbalanced the male-female ratio is now. Many men can’t find girlfriends and can only find boyfriends.”
"But look at my brother's fans, 90% of them are female fans, and when you click into their fan pages, they are basically all beauties. This proves that my brother attracts only beauties, so at least you don't have to worry about my brother finding a boyfriend in the future, right?"
The couple exchanged a glance and agreed.
Xiang Sheng abruptly shook off Xiang Di's hand, glared at her, and barely managed to say that she still had some conscience.
The couple had to rush to their workplaces, and before leaving, Xiang Rongqiang transferred some living expenses to Xiang Di.
"Honey, your brother doesn't take care of your meals, so don't deprive yourself. You're in your final year of high school, and the pressure of studying is immense. Don't starve yourself, and don't eat too many snacks and cakes; they're not nutritious. Eat healthier, eat more meat and rice. If you need more money, just tell Dad, okay?"
Luo Qinshu also said, "Now is a crucial period. It doesn't matter if you gain weight from eating too much. You can lose weight when you go to college. Young girls have a fast metabolism and will lose weight quickly. You need to eat well to have the energy for the exam."
Faced with her parents' nagging and concern, Xiang Di kept saying "uh-huh" repeatedly.
Finally, Xiang Rongqiang glared at Xiang Sheng and said irritably, "Your mother and I have salaries every month, we don't need your money. Your sister is still in school, and you don't even know how to buy her some food."
"You make so much money as an internet celebrity, but when you go on a trip with your classmates, your dad still has to pay 5,000 yuan for you." Luo Qinshu said, "If you don't cook, take your sister out for a nice lunch, or give me back that 5,000 yuan with interest."
Xiang Sheng said helplessly, "I've invested all my money, okay? It's not due yet. Once it is, I'll just pay you back 50,000, okay?"
"With that 50,000 yuan, why not buy your sister some more food?"
Once the door closed, the couple was gone for good, leaving only the brother and sister at home again.
Xiang Sheng was so angry she laughed.
Could this couple be any more biased? He seriously suspects they picked him out of the trash.
All he talks about is buying food for his younger sister. I'm speechless. She's just a senior in high school. Does that make her so special that the whole world has to make way for her?
Xiang Sheng glared at Xiang Di, annoyed.
Xiang Di blinked at Xiang Sheng: "I just spoke up for you, aren't you going to thank me?"
Xiang Sheng: "Thank you, you old man, get lost."
Xiang Di pretended to take out her phone: "Then I'll call your grandpa now and tell him thank you for you?"
Xiang Sheng waved her hand and said, "Get lost, get lost, don't try to be clever with me. I'm annoyed just looking at you."
Xiang Sheng was fast asleep when her mother dragged her out of bed. She yawned, then flopped back onto the sofa, trying to go back to sleep.
But after only a few minutes of closing his eyes, a persistent voice suddenly came from beside him: "What are we having for lunch?"
Xiang Sheng rolled over with her eyes closed: "Eat farts."
Xiang Di complained, "Mom just said you should take me out for a nice meal."
Xiang Sheng: "I'll take you to eat farts."
Xiang Di didn't say anything more. Just when Xiang Sheng thought she had finally given up, he suddenly heard her say, "Hey, Mom."
Xiang Sheng sprang up from the sofa and snatched her phone.
"What the hell? Are you in elementary school? Will you die if you don't tattle on someone for a day?"
She was about to hang up when she looked closer and realized it was the lock screen; she hadn't actually called her mother.
"Are you awake?" Xiang Di smiled at him. "If you're awake, hurry up and get ready. Remember to take me out to eat later."
Xiang Sheng: "..."
He said fiercely, "You brat, don't give me any leverage over you, or you're finished."
Xiang Di rested her chin on her hand, looking completely innocent: "How could I, such a pure and kind little girl, have any dirt on me?"
This time, Xiang Sheng made a vomiting face.
-
More than an hour later, the brother and sister appeared at the hot pot restaurant.
Just as I finished ordering, I ran into two female fans of Xiang Sheng. The two girls were dressed so youthfully and beautifully, and they cautiously came over to say hello.
After confirming it was Xiang Sheng, the two girls excitedly covered their mouths and said, "You're even more handsome than you look in the video!"
Xiang Sheng: "Really? Thank you."
Xiang Sheng appeared calm and collected, like a cool guy, but only Xiang Di knew that this guy was actually having a wild goose flutter in his heart.
The two girls then noticed the little girl sitting opposite Xiang Sheng.
Xiang Di wasn't wearing her school uniform today. Her long hair and fair, delicate oval face made her look pure and lovely. Although you could tell she was very young, many college students these days still look like elementary school students, so it was impossible to determine her age.
A girl asked hesitantly, "Who is this...?"
Xiang Sheng said directly, "My sister, my own sister."
Xiang Sheng had mentioned several times in his live streams that he had a younger sister and that the two of them often argued. Fans loved hearing him share his daily arguments with his sister during his live streams. However, he was very protective of his family's privacy, so fans only knew that he had a younger sister and knew nothing else about her.
"This is your sister?" The girl's eyes lit up. "Your sister is so pretty!"
Just as Xiang Di was about to say thank you, Xiang Sheng answered for her: "He's just a little kid, nothing special."
Then he said to Xiang Di, "Don't you have any manners? Call me 'sister'."
Xiang Di said calmly, "Don't you have any manners? They both look so young, maybe even younger than me. They should be the ones calling me 'older sister'."
The two girls couldn't stop smiling and quickly waved their hands, saying it was impossible.
Xiang Sheng was speechless for a moment.
That brat, she's so sarcastic and sarcastic towards him, always saying sweet nothings to outsiders.
Both girls were very polite, and in order not to disturb their continued meal, they chatted for a few minutes and then prepared to leave.
Before leaving, they took a photo with Xiang Sheng and asked if they could post it online.
Xiang Sheng said, "You can post it, as long as my sister isn't in the picture."
The girl knew perfectly well that she hadn't taken any pictures, and then she left.
As soon as the person left, Xiang Sheng immediately changed his aloof and cool persona and rushed to Xiang Di to show off: "See? This is your brother's popularity. He can even run into fans while eating hot pot, and such beautiful female fans at that."
"It's very beautiful," Xiang Di said, chewing on a slice of beef roll. "It's just that her eyesight isn't very good."
"This hotpot is on me, so I advise you to watch your words." Xiang Sheng said disdainfully, "Let me tell you, it's not them who have bad eyesight, it's you. If anyone else had a brother as handsome as me, they would be laughing in their dreams."
Xiang Di bit her chopsticks and made a smacking sound.
Speaking of this, Xiang Sheng remembered something else: "Hey, you said before that the boy in your class was more handsome than me, and you asked me to show you his picture. Where's the picture? You don't want the 2,500 anymore?"
"No, I'm afraid you'll be so ashamed after seeing this that you'll hang yourself on the spot," Xiang Di said. "I can't risk my brother's life for a mere two thousand five hundred yuan."
Xiang Sheng's lips twitched: "Should I thank you?"
Xiang Di: "You're welcome."
"Come on, you don't dare show me a photo because there's no one in your class who's better looking than me." Xiang Sheng pointed at her with his chopsticks. "You're just bragging."
Xiang Di became anxious: "There really are, and there are several, I just don't have their photos."
"They don't have any photos on their WeChat Moments?"
"No, do you think everyone is like you, thinking they're good-looking and flirting online all the time? Most people are very low-key, okay?" Xiang Di immediately took out her phone. "I'll show you if you don't believe me."
After saying that, she opened WeChat. To prevent Xiang Sheng from seeing it, she first unpinned Bai Jiangxin's chat to the top of her chat before opening his Moments to show Xiang Sheng.
A horizontal bar, showing only three days' worth of status, status is zero, what an indifferent WeChat Moments.
Then Xiang Di showed Xiang Sheng Zhou Linxiao's Moments. Zhou Linxiao's Moments did have content, but it was all just everyday scenery photos, even pictures of stray cats on the street, but no selfies.
The class monitor and Wang Sichen did have selfies on their WeChat Moments, but Xiang Di felt that although they were both good-looking, they wouldn't be a significant disadvantage to her brother, so she didn't show them to Xiang Sheng.
Xiang Sheng still didn't believe it: "I don't believe that someone who is more handsome than me can resist posting selfies."
"A truly handsome guy already has no shortage of compliments in his daily life, so why would he need to post selfies to seek attention?"
She had indeed considered secretly taking a couple of photos of them and showing them to Xiang Sheng, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
It would be so embarrassing if they found out. Zhou Linxiao would be fine; she could explain to him and he would definitely understand. But Bai Jiangxin would definitely feel offended by her.
She liked him so much that she didn't want to do anything to offend him, not even taking pictures without his consent.
Halfway through the hot pot meal, seeing that the dipping sauce was all gone, Xiang Di stood up and said, "I'll go make some dipping sauce."
Xiang Sheng said, "Hey, could you make me another bowl while you're at it?"
"Don't you have hands?"
"This meal's on me, would it kill you to help me out?"
"Okay, okay."
Xiang Di left, carelessly tossing her phone next to the hot pot.
He wasn't even worried about getting oil on her phone. This brat wasn't as particular as him, a grown man. Xiang Sheng casually took her phone and wiped it lightly with a tissue.
As a result, after wiping the screen, the interface for entering the phone password appeared.
With a six-digit password, Xiang Sheng tried entering Xiang Di's birthdate and successfully unlocked the password.
"..."
That's why you shouldn't use your birthday as a password; it's incredibly easy to guess.
A thought suddenly flashed through Xiang Sheng's mind.
A person's biggest secret is usually in their phone. Isn't now the perfect time to catch her red-handed?
That brat, her phone must be full of pornographic content. But just as Xiang Sheng was about to open her file assistant, she hesitated.
No, after all, his sister is eighteen years old. If she really discovers something incredible, where will her self-esteem be?
After all, he had plenty of things hidden on his phone when he was in high school.
But now that her phone is with her, she feels wronged if she doesn't look at it, as she feels she was unfairly scolded by her parents that morning.
Xiang Sheng clicked her tongue in annoyance.
Finally, he came up with a wicked idea, which he conceived while eating hot pot, so he simply called it the Evil Hot Pot Plan.
Damn sister, this is what happens when you try to disgust your own brother with incestuous relationships.
Xiang Sheng first found his viral video of showing off his abs, then sent it to her. Finally, using her WeChat account, he found the profile pictures of the two boys she had just shown him.
Both boys had memorable profile pictures: one was a ragdoll cat, and the other was a monster from Stranger Things. He didn't know one of them's names; his sister hadn't even added a nickname to his contacts, so they probably weren't close. The other boy's name was Zhou Linxiao.
Xiang Sheng didn't look at Xiang Di's chat history with the two boys, and directly shared the video with them.
And asked: "Do you have abs like these?"
A somewhat provocative question.
If these two are really handsome, look at how his sister, who always puts on a pure and innocent girl image in front of others, will end up in their eyes.
The one whose contact wasn't saved in the phone probably hasn't checked their phone and hasn't replied yet, but Zhou Linxiao replied very quickly.
Zhou Linxiao: [Yes.]
Zhou Linxiao: [His is too thin; mine is a bit bigger.]
Zhou Linxiao: [Why are you suddenly asking me this?]
Xiang Sheng raised an eyebrow.
Hey, this guy named Zhou Linxiao, a high school kid, actually has more time to build muscle than him?
Just as Xiang Sheng was pondering how to refute her, his sister returned with two bowls of seasoning.
He quickly deleted all the messages, pretending that nothing had happened.
Xiang Di came over and saw her brother just putting her phone on the table.
Xiang Di immediately frowned warily: "You were looking at my phone?"
"Your phone has oil splattered on it," Xiang Sheng said without changing his expression.
Xiang Di was still somewhat suspicious, so she immediately unlocked her phone, looked around, and found nothing unusual.
Xiang Di warned, "You'd better not have seen it, or our sibling relationship will end here."
Xiang Sheng scoffed.
"Then hurry up," he said. "You're going to charge me a big meal every week, and I really can't afford to feed you anymore."
-
The pleasant Sunday is over, and the devilish Monday is here again.
But Xiang Di was still very happy, not only because she could see Bai Jiangxin again, but also because she would have a luxurious buffet dinner after this week's classes.
Being able to go out for a big meal every week, life is truly wonderful.
This pleasant feeling lasted until she reached the classroom, where her deskmate Zhou Linxiao had already arrived. There was a flag-raising ceremony today, so he was also wearing his school uniform.
Wearing a traditional Chinese school uniform, he exudes both the refined elegance and introversion of an Eastern youth, as well as the profound depth and flamboyance of someone of mixed heritage.
It's so good for the eyes! Thank you, Jesus and Nuwa, for creating such a handsome and pleasing man. Xiang Di felt grateful and greeted Zhou Linxiao with a "Good morning" in Spanish.
“Buenos días!”
With a pronunciation that wasn't perfect but was quite endearing, Zhou Linxiao narrowed his beautiful olive-colored eyes and gently replied with a "Good morning," before asking her, "Why didn't you reply to my messages yesterday?"
Xiang Di winked: "Huh? What news?"
Zhou Linxiao didn't waste any words and directly showed her his phone.
Xiang Di took the phone, her expression freezing for a moment.
She didn't even need to think; she could guess that the message was definitely sent by her deadbeat brother.
Si Ge is still sleeping soundly at home, so let's put aside the matter of settling scores with him for now. Her priority is to quickly explain things to Zhou Linxiao.
Zhou Linxiao added, "You haven't replied to me since then. Don't you believe my abs are bigger than this guy's?"
"No!" Xiang Di stammered, "Hey, listen to me—"
Zhou Linxiao: "Do you want to take a look?"
"That message was... huh?"
Xiang Di stared at him blankly: "What did you just say?"
"Would you like to see my abs?"
Zhou Linxiao repeated it again. He didn't think that abs were anything shameful. After all, most Spaniards believed that clothes were shackles that bound the soul. Moreover, Spain is one of the countries in the world that loves nudity the most and has the most nude beaches in the world. In addition, his father won his mother's heart with his perfect muscles.
However, because his mother is Chinese and taught him a lot about Eastern etiquette from a young age, his views are considered rather conservative.
Faced with his generous invitation, Xiang Di wanted to say no, but...
Although she had read countless erotic novels and comics and even watched a little bit of female-oriented porn, she had never actually seen a six-pack in real life.
Beer bellies are everywhere, but abs aren't like cabbages at the market; they can't be built with just a few sit-ups.
What she really wanted to see was Bai Jiangxin's abs, but she didn't know whether Bai Jiangxin actually had abs or not.
Even if she did, she'd probably only be able to fantasize about it in her mind for the rest of her life; she'd never actually see it.
so……
"...Actually, I didn't send you that message. It was a prank by my family. But speaking of seeing abs..." Xiang Di asked him cautiously, "Are you really okay with me seeing them?"
Although she is very open-minded, she has always been conservative in her behavior; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to pursue Bai Jiangxin for three whole years despite having a crush on him.
Zhou Linxiao laughed and said, "What's there to mind? If you're interested, you can touch it too."
...Touch, touch, touch?
Xiang Di held up a finger: "I'll just point with my finger, okay? Don't worry, I definitely won't take advantage of you."
"Is it considered taking advantage of me to just touch my abs? Wouldn't my fitness coach be going to the police station then?" Even though it was she who was being touched, Zhou Linxiao even comforted her and told her not to feel pressured. "But you have to promise me that after you see it, you have to praise me a few times so that I feel that all the hard work I put into training my abs is worth it."
"Absolutely!"
He nodded to the flute more vigorously than a rattle drum.
After Zhou Linxiao finished speaking, she was about to take off her school uniform.
Xiang Di quickly stopped him: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Linxiao asked, puzzled, "Aren't we looking at abs?"
"...But you can't take your clothes off in the classroom."
"Not in the classroom?" Zhou Linxiao laughed. "So conservative? Shall we go outside then?"
Xiang Di felt it wasn't appropriate to take off her clothes in public, since this was China, not Spain. But she was also incredibly naive; the most she had ever seen in her life was Bai Jiangxin from her fantasies, so she really wanted to see him in reality.
She bit her lip and said, "Let's watch it in the classroom."
Zhou Linxiao unzipped his school uniform. It was still a bit cold, but mixed-race people are probably naturally not afraid of the cold. He was only wearing a thin wool undershirt underneath. He didn't even need to lift it up. Xiang Di could already see two bulging, barely visible pectoral muscles.
Wow, huge breasts! If they were Bai Jiangxin's, she'd probably have a nosebleed by now.
Then Zhou Linxiao lifted up her undershirt.
It has a perfect balance of curves, not too much or too little, with distinct lines and prominent blue veins running beneath the skin, making it just the right firmness.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a miracle by Michelangelo.
Her mind was completely free of any vulgar thoughts; it was filled with admiration and praise for that great physique. She gave Di a thumbs up and said, "Handsome!"
"Thank you." Zhou Linxiao smiled modestly. "Touch me?"
Xiang Di nodded, swallowed hard, and extended his right index finger.
Dear right index finger, you are the luckiest of my ten fingers. Please remember this feeling today, as it may very well be the most perfect abs you've ever touched in your life.
Xiang Di was still rubbing his right index finger in a patting motion when Zhou Linxiao suddenly felt a shadow loom over him, blocking the light above him and Xiang Di. He looked up, and after seeing what the shadow was, he laughed heartily.
"Good morning, Bai Jiangxin."
Upon hearing the name, Xiang Di trembled violently and took a step back.
She bumped her back against a hard wall, turned her head, and looked up to see Bai Jiangxin's dark eyes slightly lowered and his face expressionless.
Bai Jiangxin looked down at the two of them and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Linxiao was very honest: "Xiang Di was touching my abs."
Bai Jiangxin's lips twitched; he was momentarily speechless at Zhou Linxiao's composure.
