Chapter Two is interesting.
The above is a barrage of messages from my childhood friend.
Please don't cry for me: [Xia Yan, were you abducted by aliens?! !!]
Please don't cry for me: [Or did you step on a manhole cover and fall into the sewer?!]
Please don't cry for me: [You disappeared while we were chatting. You better be in trouble, I need to tell you!!!]
Xia Yan leaned back on the sofa, her legs crossed and spread wide.
His amber eyes stared at the words on WeChat, but the image of the girl from earlier involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
To be honest, she's just too ordinary in terms of both figure and appearance, with nothing remarkable about her.
Especially his timid and hesitant manner, it's so petty.
In the past, he would never have given her a second glance. But today, for some reason, he was inexplicably drawn to her and found her... how should I put it, quite pleasing to the eye.
"Tsk," this is unbelievable.
He shook his head, trying to stop thinking about her, and typed on his phone.
Confused Cat: [Just got home, I won't be going to the party.]
Please don't cry for me: [No, there are lots of super hot girls at the party. You've been single for 19 years, now's the perfect time to leave those girls behind! (Hehe)]
Confused Cat: [Do I really need to go looking for it?]
My childhood friend choked for a moment, and then sent a message a few seconds later.
Please don't cry for me: [Yes, you're a young master, handsome, and never lack for women. But surely none of them catch your eye? Just think of it as going to see if there's a girl you like.]
Confused Cat: [I'm 19, not 29. I'm not in a rush to get married. I have something to do, so I'm logging off now.]
After typing the last word, Xia Yan casually tossed her phone aside.
fall in love?
No, he's a germaphobe. He genuinely doesn't want to hold her hand, swallow her saliva, or have any physical contact with her.
This is disgusting, and it's the real reason I don't have a girlfriend.
but......
Xia Yan put down his phone less than a second before he unconsciously thought of the girl from earlier.
She was small in stature and wore a cheap white T-shirt with a cartoon dog printed on it.
Perhaps due to water accumulation, a small piece of damp cloth was stuck to the abdomen, revealing the flesh underneath.
His eyes narrowed slightly at the thought. He licked his dry lips, his Adam's apple bobbing, and awkwardly crossed his legs.
Just then, she came out carrying a bucket of water and bent down to go to the bathroom to change the water.
When the person who was fantasizing suddenly appeared, Xia Yan lowered her eyes somewhat guiltily.
For the first time, I felt embarrassed and experienced what it means to have a guilty conscience.
Jiang You didn't even look at the homeowner. After fetching the water, he returned to his room, only thinking about finishing today's cleaning as quickly as possible.
There's no way around it; living under the same roof as a handsome guy puts a lot of pressure on me.
She rinsed the mop again and then gently mopped the floor.
The floor has a golden-yellow sheen and texture, which looks very high-end and has a great feel.
I just secretly searched online, and it's Burmese teak, costing between 30,000 and 50,000 yuan per cubic meter.
Based on this calculation, the flooring alone would cost over 900,000 yuan.
Not to mention this large single-level apartment, every room except the bathroom and toilet is fitted with Burmese teak panels.
Jiang You was so astonished that he didn't even dare to drag the ground too hard.
Like a gentle old mother caring for her child, she was very careful, afraid of hurting the floor.
After mopping the floor and wiping the items, mop and wipe again with disinfectant, and the room is considered cleaned.
By the end of the morning, she had cleaned two and a half rooms.
I'm pondering whether to finish the rest or go have lunch first.
"All done?"
A clear voice sounded from behind, its tone rising at the end, like a cat's paw gently scratching at Jiang You's heart, making it itch uncontrollably.
He knelt on one knee, and the hand that was pounding his shoulder suddenly froze.
Holy crap, I was so engrossed in my work that I completely forgot about the handsome young man.
But how long have you been watching her from behind?
Jiang You likes to fantasize. When he is alone or doing tedious and repetitive work, he will create a novel and make himself the protagonist.
When they get excited, they'll even blurt out their lines without realizing it.
I was just imagining her as a savior, selflessly sacrificing her life to save all living beings, and I was so moved that I cried.
So, won't the other person think she's crazy for crying and talking to herself?
Jiang You awkwardly picked up the rag, got up from the ground, and turned to look at Xia Yan with embarrassment.
He must have taken a shower and changed his clothes.
He was leaning against the door with his arms crossed over his chest, his amber eyes holding a half-smile, like a snake lurking in the shadows.
When she looked over, it fixed itself firmly on her dark eyes, revealing its fangs and sticking out its tongue.
No, no, being stared at like that makes my heart race. Jiang You's face flushed, and he quickly looked away.
Why? Why would I want to see such a handsome young man in the real world?
If this were posted online, she'd definitely drool over the screen and leave a few risqué comments.
Fortunately, the handsome young man didn't seem surprised, which meant he hadn't heard her mutterings.
"Are you done?" Xia Yan repeated lazily, like a lover lingering in each other's arms.
Jiang You didn't think this was seduction. A prince falling in love with Cinderella might exist in the world, but it would never happen to her.
Moreover, the two have only exchanged a few words since they met; I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing in my daydream.
She lowered her eyes and answered truthfully, "There's a little left. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Even though the handsome young man looked to be the same age as her, she subconsciously used a respectful title.
"It's almost lunchtime, we need to go downstairs to eat."
Her words were so matter-of-fact that Jiang You was stunned and stood there, thinking that she had misunderstood.
What do you mean we should go down to eat together? Are she and he very close?
There wasn't any ambiguous feeling; I just felt that this handsome young man was unusually outgoing and a bit surreal.
Moreover, standing face to face like this now, her heart can't take it.
If we ate together at close range, wouldn't she just freeze to death?
If she makes a fool of herself in front of a handsome guy, she'll simply ascend to heaven on the spot, leaving this earth forever to live on another planet.
Thinking of this, Jiang You politely declined, saying, "Um... thank you, but I'm not hungry yet. I was thinking of finishing this work first before going. You go and eat first."
I was just debating whether to finish cooking before eating, or to eat first and then cook. Now I don't need to think about it anymore; I'll get to work first.
Xia Yan raised an eyebrow, walked straight over, and stopped in front of her.
So close... I can smell the faint, sweet scent of fruit again. Jiang You, shameless as ever, took the opportunity to sniff it a few more times.
After all, we won't be able to smell such a wonderful perfume again.
Xia Yan reached out, his fingertips brushing against hers, trying to take the rag from her hand.
Jiang You instinctively clenched his fist. No, what are you going to do? Snatch her rag?
In less than a second, the cool touch of the handsome young man's fingertips assaulted her fingers, startling her so much that she quickly released the rag.
The other person didn't hold it properly, and the rag fell straight down at her feet.
Xia Yan chuckled and bent down to pick it up. His smooth, porcelain-like cheek brushed against the back of her hand.
It was icy cold, shooting straight to her heart. Jiang You shuddered, her eyes widened, and she quickly took several steps back.
She's gone mad, she's really gone mad, she actually touched the handsome young man's cheek.
Why does it feel like a cabbage being eaten by a pig?
Of course, the handsome young man is like a cabbage, and she is like a pig.
No, no, he bumped into it by accident, so she can't be blamed.
Xia Yan straightened up as if nothing had happened, twirling the rag between his index fingertips.
Her amber eyes swept around, and she casually asked, "Where else hasn't been cleaned?"
"Huh?" Jiang You didn't realize what this person wanted to do for a moment.
"Didn't we say we'd eat after we finished?" Xia Yan looked around before tilting his head to look at her.
The handsome young man's eyes are still like snakes; once you meet his gaze, they will tightly coil around your eyes until you can't take it anymore and flee in panic.
Jiang You looked away, took a deep breath, and said, "Is that not allowed?"
"Sure, I just think the two of them would be faster."
"This can't be allowed!"
She finally realized what the handsome young man wanted to do and rejected it without thinking.
What's going on here?
Aside from her own affairs, she was very moral towards others.
Why would the homeowner be asked to help with something so easy, lucrative, and with so little work?
This made her feel uneasy and even very stressed.
Xia Yan stared at her, and said calmly, "Why not?"
"This is my job, why should you help me?"
"So what? I was just helping out."
"This... won't do."
"I said Jiang You," upon hearing her name, Jiang You subconsciously looked at the handsome young man, his gaze immediately and forcefully lingering on her dark eyes.
step......
Step two...
Three steps...
He moved closer to her until she had nowhere to retreat against the wall, then bent down, his amber eyes meeting her trembling pupils.
Xia Yan's delicate features were very close to her face, only a fist's distance away.
Jiang You had nowhere to hide his gaze and was forced to meet those extremely aggressive eyes.
My heart was pounding. This person is so close, is he crazy?
"Why do I feel like you hate me, Jiang You?" Xia Yan leaned closer.
His amber eyes lowered slightly, sweeping over the center of the girl's neck. He wondered how she would react if he tilted his head to kiss her.
In just 0.01 seconds, his gaze shifted upwards, then remained fixed on the girl's eyes.
The increasingly powerful aggression assaulted her, and Jiang You's legs went weak from the force.
Her brain had completely shut down, and she instinctively shook her head, blushing, "No, no, I don't dislike you."
I don't really dislike him, I just feel uncomfortable around him.
Just like having dinner with your boss or a family reunion dinner at a relative's house, you might feel so awkward that you don't know what to do.
"Is that so?" Xia Yan's lips curled up, her voice lazy and teasing.
Jiang You nodded vigorously.
He raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on his lips as he looked into her eyes. "Isn't this just an excuse to avoid having dinner with me?"
"No, absolutely not, I'm not that kind of person..."
"Then have dinner with me later."
"Okay, fine. Huh?!" Jiang You realized what was happening, but Xia Yan was already humming a tune and moving away from her, picking up a small object and starting to wipe it.
Was she too tactful? Or was the other person not tactful?
But she'd already agreed; if she went back on her word, it would seem very strange...
Jiang You, who had to mentally prepare for taking a day off, was no match for the old fox. She opened her mouth, then closed it again, picked up a rag, and continued working.
I resigned myself to my fate and went to have lunch with him later.
To ensure he could receive the money with peace of mind, Jiang You worked very quickly, just so the homeowner would have to do less work.
However, this handsome young man always liked to squeeze in her direction, and he accidentally touched her hand and fingers many times.
When they met again, Xia Yan lowered her eyes, her expression calm, and casually withdrew her hand.
Jiang You naturally wouldn't think the boy did it on purpose; he simply assumed it was an accident.
It couldn't possibly be flirting with an ordinary girl like her, could it?
Xia Yan was unaware that his attempts to entice, seduce, and make blatant hints had all backfired. At that moment, he was pondering his next plan.
Although I don't know why I'm quite interested in this person, I'll try to get him by my side first.
