Most of the day had passed, and Chen Cixiu was still savoring the kiss Jiang Yu had given him that morning.
Why would she kiss me on her own initiative?
Was it because he liked her, or was he trying to prevent himself from kissing her first? After all, if he were to kiss her, it would never be on her cheek, it would definitely be on her lips.
On Jiang Yu's end, the WeChat chat interface kept showing that the other party was typing...
But I haven't received any messages yet.
Chen Cixiu stared at the WeChat interface, typing again and again, but couldn't bring himself to ask the question.
[Do you like me a little?] (Delete)
[Why did you suddenly kiss me?] (Deleted)
[Take advantage and run? There's no such thing as a free lunch.] (Deleted)
He deleted and re-deleted a series of teasing and questioning messages, while repeatedly confirming his own feelings. He finally concluded that lust at first sight far outweighed any romantic attraction.
Ultimately, unable to get any answers, I had no choice but to start the game and begin my second playthrough.
Jiang Yu watched as the message changed from "The other person is typing..." to "Chen Cixiu," and felt a pang of sadness. Was he trying to say something? Like, "Why did you kiss him?"
But when she saw the chat box revert to her original name, she immediately lost interest. If Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't reminded her to come back to her senses, she would have almost forgotten that she was dealing with a document that any vice president could have handled.
In the evening, Chen Cixiu took the subway to the restaurant because Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't brought the car back for him yet, so he didn't have a car to drive there.
When Chen Cixiu arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, a young man with a buzz cut appeared to his left, looking up at the restaurant's name.
His voice was deep, like a sleeping lion, "It's been a long time since I've been back."
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Cixiu turned around and hugged him excitedly, "Yuanzi, when did you come back?"
Jiang Yuan patted him on the back, revealing his white teeth, and said happily, "I just came back a few days ago. I've been transferred back here."
"That's great! It's been four years since we last saw each other. I never imagined you would become a firefighter back then. How have you been all these years? I only see your posts on social media occasionally. Just the other day, Fatty and I were talking about visiting you after graduation."
Chen Cixiu was overjoyed because Jiang Yuan and he had been best friends since high school. Although Jiang Yuan looked refined, he was never a coward. Jiang Yuan was a troublemaker in high school, always teasing pretty girls. Once, he teased a young female student, who then gathered a group of people to ambush him. Chen Cixiu happened to be passing by and saw this. He immediately recognized Jiang Yuan as the class bully, someone who always kept to himself. Believing that he couldn't let outsiders bully his classmates, he immediately went to fight him.
Finally, Jiang Yuan shouted that the police were coming, and everyone scattered.
It was around that time that the two of them became best friends.
"By the way? Where's Fatty?"
Jiang Yuan also missed the fat man he mentioned.
"He's not here yet, but Fatty isn't fat anymore. He's even into natural fitness now. I bet you can't even compare to his muscles." Chen Cixiu teased his brother who hadn't arrived yet, then said, "Let's go in. I heard the teacher is here."
"OK."
Jiang Yuan walked alongside him, seemingly wanting to say something, but kept hesitating.
Chen Cixiu noticed his confusion and said, "Ask whatever you want."
"Brother Xiu, it's not that I find it strange, but I just can't help it. You've really hooked up with a rich woman?" Apart from Chen Cixiu, Jiang Yuan detests receiving handouts from others the most. When the brothers were discussing finding a rich woman, he was the most opposed.
But now, Brother Xiu has hooked up with a rich woman. Where do all his previous boasts go now?
Chen Cixiu asked in surprise, "Yuanzi, how did you know? I just posted a picture of our marriage certificate on WeChat Moments, I didn't say my wife is a rich woman, did I?"
Jiang Yuan took out his phone. It contained the names of almost everyone in his class, except for him.
The content above revolves entirely around the topic of him dating a rich woman, and it also includes a picture of Jiang Yu driving a sports car to the gate of Jiangbei University that day. However, Jiang Yu's face is blocked by a mosaic. The key point is that the mosaic is quite cunning, as it is deliberately enlarged several times, making the owner of the sports car look like he weighs several hundred pounds.
Furthermore, some people dug up his marriage certificate and ring that he posted on his WeChat Moments, and that ring alone was worth over 100,000 yuan.
Chen Cixiu looked at the ring on his hand and his lips twitched. This thing is worth tens of thousands of yuan? With this diamond, it's hard to say whether it can even be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.
As a young person who is well-known on the rich list, how could Jiang Yu not know the tricks of these diamond dealers? It just goes to show that money really can buy anything.
"Yes, it's all true."
Chen Cixiu disliked telling lies, especially to his brothers.
“Brother Xiu, are you… are you short of money? I’ve saved up a little over the past four years, and you know I don’t really have anywhere to spend the money. If you need it, I can give it to you. There’s no need for you to spend time with that woman. If you have a big problem, I can sell my old house to help you. You don’t need to…”
When Chen Cixiu heard his words, he knew that he had misunderstood. At that time, in order to protect himself from cyberbullying, he had deliberately blurred out the marriage certificate.
This should have led Jiang Yuan to mistakenly believe that he was being kept by an older woman.
"Stop, please stop! I've finally realized that my wife likes me a little, so don't let this get out." As he spoke, he took out his phone and handed it to Jiang Yuan. The phone showed a picture of Jiang Yu, and he explained, "This is your sister-in-law. She is indeed a wealthy woman, the only daughter of the Jiang Group, and the current CEO of Anyuan Financial Co., Ltd."
Jiang Yuan's eyes were practically glued to the phone. He swallowed hard, his voice muffled, "This...is this really my sister-in-law?"
Chen Cixiu opened the marriage certificate photo and said, "It's genuine."
"Brother Xiu, I'm convinced." Jiang Yuan was truly convinced this time. He originally thought that Brother Xiu had sold himself to a fat girl, but he didn't expect him to be such a beauty. With such looks, he could beat all the female stars in the entertainment industry.
"Besides, do you think my family is short of money?" Chen Cixiu asked, both amused and exasperated.
Although his family wasn't extremely wealthy, they weren't exactly short of money either. As long as he didn't squander his savings over the years, it would be enough for his parents.
There was no question of either professor lacking money.
"It was my narrow-mindedness, Brother Xiu. I still have a lot to learn from you."
The Jiang Yuan from before felt a bit unfamiliar to him; this was the Jiang Yuan he knew.
The two stepped into the private room, but as soon as they entered, they were met with a piercing sound.
"Hey? Isn't this our top student Xiu, the one who's been kept by a sugar daddy?"
