Jiang Rong said painfully: "I don't know..."
"After returning to Yancheng, have I kept my distance from you, huh?" Shang Shaoheng pressed.
Jiang Rong: “…”
It turns out that Shang Shaoheng was not seen all day not because he was too busy to go home, but because he couldn't go home because she was around.
Come to think of it...it's true.
When Shang Shaoheng brought her back to Yancheng, he said he wanted to take revenge on her, but she was having a great time eating and drinking well in Bailu Manor, it didn't seem like she was paying off a debt at all.
"But yesterday." Shang Shaoheng stared into her eyes, "you teased me again."
Jiang Rong was almost forced into the corner of the sofa by him. Her eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly reached out to hook her arms around Shang Shaoheng's neck. Her eyes were sparkling, like the spring rain in March in the south of the Yangtze River, unclear but alluring.
"Having said so much..." she slowly asked, "Shang Shaoheng, you're not in love with me, are you?"
"Like?" Shang Shaoheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "What kind of feeling is called liking?"
Jiang Rong lay on the sofa cushions, her black hair disheveled, her face as white as porcelain. Her long eyelashes drooped, covering the emotions in her eyes, and her voice became a little weaker: "Then why are you pressing me like this now?"
Shang Shaoheng thought seriously for a while before saying, "Because I desire your body."
Jiang Rong: “…”
Even dogs wouldn't talk to someone like Shang Shaoheng.
"I asked Nie Xi." Shang Shaoheng continued, "Generally speaking, when a man and a woman come into contact, there's a transitional period called dating."
"Are you so dissatisfied with my straightforwardness because I skipped the dating stage?" He said, "If you want, I can also date you."
Jiang Rong stared blankly at the dazzling chandelier above his head and murmured, "Someone who doesn't even know what love is actually shamelessly wanting to date me..."
She grabbed Shang Shaoheng by the collar and asked, "Is there something wrong with your brain, or am I hallucinating?"
"Nie Xi also offered a second approach." Shang Shaoheng said, "If you don't want to date me, I can support you."
Jiang Rong: “?!”
“Cough cough cough cough…” Jiang Rong nearly choked to death on his own saliva. “I was wondering why you were acting weird… What on earth did that bastard Nie Xi teach you?!”
"Nothing." Shang Shaoheng said calmly, "Just some basic emotional issues."
Jiang Rong caressed Shang Shaoheng's head lovingly and said, "I admit that you are very good at fighting and very smart, and your position in Yancheng is unshakable, but Shang Shaoheng."
"When it comes to relationships, even kindergarten kids are better than you."
"When you figure out what love is, then tell me about love."
Shang Shaoheng frowned: "Is it hard to understand?"
"Many people have studied it their entire lives and still haven't figured it out," Jiang Rong said casually. "Even philosophers haven't been able to fully understand it, so of course it's very difficult to understand."
She stroked Shang Shaoheng's eyebrows with her delicate fingers and suddenly laughed: "But I really like people like you who are so honest."
Perhaps it was because she had seen too much hypocrisy and flattery, so she really admired Shang Shaoheng's attitude of asking questions when he didn't understand.
Or maybe... it is precisely because Shang Shaoheng is already strong enough that he does not need any disguise.
"Your current liking is different from what you said before?" Shang Shaoheng asked again.
"Yeah." Jiang Rong nodded, "It's different."
She thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her hand to press Shang Shaoheng's beating heart, and said with a smile, "When your heartbeat speeds up when you think of me, and you feel nervous and expectant, and happy and sweet...that's probably when you fall in love with me."
Shang Shaoheng clasped her hand and said, "What about you?"
After a while, Jiang Rong said, "I'm a rather heartless person, so it's hard to say."
"Maybe I will fall in love with you after you've fallen in love with me for a long, long time. Or maybe..." She gently circled the tattoo on Shang Shaoheng's knuckles with her fingers. Her affectionate and distant feelings were also revealed. She exhaled and whispered in Shang Shaoheng's ear, "Even if you love me to death, I will never fall in love with you."
Shang Shaoheng looked at her for a long time with his eyelashes lowered before saying, "You are very confident."
Jiang Rong smiled.
"Why not give it a try?" Shang Shaoheng said hoarsely, "See if you can teach me what love is."
"See if I can love you to death."
Jiang Rong glanced at him, then suddenly turned over with force, pressing Shang Shaoheng under her. She pressed her lips against Shang Shaoheng's and said, "Okay."
She slowly stroked Shang Shaoheng's Adam's apple with her fingers, sat on him and said condescendingly: "But I'm very tired today, I need to go rest."
After saying that, Jiang Rong stood up and wanted to leave, but Shang Shaoheng picked her up and said, "In that case, why don't we sleep together?"
"..." Jiang Rong almost couldn't hold it in anymore and said, "You're moving too fast. Even serious couples don't sleep together right away."
Shang Shaoheng: "We've slept together before."
"That's different." Jiang Rong said coldly, "You wouldn't touch me then, and I wouldn't have to worry about you doing anything to me in the middle of the night."
Shang Shaoheng: "I'm not that kind of person."
Jiang Rong: “Really?”
"...I'll take you back to your room." Shang Shaoheng compromised.
He carried Jiang Rong upstairs and put her on the bed. Jiang Rong crawled into the fluffy and soft quilt, closed her eyes peacefully, and said, "I'm going to sleep. Good night."
Shang Shaoheng looked at her for a while with no expression on his face.
He was clearly going to capture the person and settle the score, so how did things turn out like this?
But he still said, "Good night."
After Shang Shaoheng left, Jiang Rong immediately sat up from the bed, holding her head in her hands: "...What the hell was I talking about before?! Wasn't I teaching the kids bad things?!"
[022!] Jiang Rong shouted, [Why didn't you stop me just now?]
022 Youyou said: [I've shouted my throat out, but you didn't pay any attention to me.]
Jiang Rong: “…”
[No... aren't you nervous?] Jiang Rong said: [Your male lead said he wants to date me!]
[Oh.] 022 said: [I'm used to it.]
【？ 】
022 sighed: [Does the atmosphere between you two look like it could accommodate a third person? The heroine is just a part of your play.]
Jiang Rong: “…”
"But our mission is to bring the hero and heroine together." Jiang Rong murmured, "If the hero and heroine are not together, we will all die."
022 The vicissitudes of life: [Isn't there a second choice? ]
Jiang Rong was silent for a long time before she let herself fall backwards onto the bed. Her eyes were unfocused as she stared into space and whispered, "I'm sorry, 022."
【I want to choose the second task. 】
