Chapter 40 Part One
The sea breeze was refreshing, and at this moment, it blew away the pretense between the two people.
The annoyance I felt after getting off the plane and learning that he had only spent one night at the airport finally exploded at this moment.
She was still smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"What did you say to Zhang Can? Does she know you worked so hard to earn money for this date? Does she know you spent the night at the airport?"
"I told her I want to support you, but you're being so frugal and it makes me lose face."
"When she spreads this around, it'll make me look stingy. How will I ever be able to attract men in the future?"
"Ajiu..." Bai Yuqing stood there, letting her clothes rustle in the wind. A feeling of powerlessness spread throughout her body. As she spoke, her whole body became more and more stiff.
Feeling the sea breeze, Jiang Jinyue looked at the man in front of her, feeling his great helplessness and powerlessness, and then looked at the boundless sea.
After a moment of silence, he sighed softly: "Bai Yuqing, you are too anxious."
Her voice came to his ears along with the waves.
His uneasy heart suddenly settled down.
"Yes," he admitted with a wry smile, "I'm afraid I'll never catch up with you."
"Why are you trying to catch up with me?" Jiang Jinyue looked at him in confusion. "I've never rejected you because of your background. I didn't fall in love with the way you are now, planning expensive surprises. I was even angry with you for buying that 120,000 yuan bracelet. So, what are you afraid of? What are you so anxious about?"
"Zhang Can gave you so many suggestions. First, she wanted to test your sincerity towards me. Another reason was that she wanted you to see the gap between us."
“…”
"I think you must have let Zhang Can see your true feelings for me, right?"
"If Zhang Can thinks you're only after my money, she'll definitely tell me to be wary of you. Just enjoy your young body and don't get too involved."
"Only if she thinks you truly love me will she remind you of the huge gap between us in this way, and then make you retreat, or in other words, make sure you know where you stand in your heart."
Bai Jiqi stood there, listening quietly and thinking silently.
"You act so calm and composed here now, but what about when we leave?" Jiang Jinyue lowered her eyes and smiled, the sea breeze ruffling her long hair. She leaned over the railing and lazily raised her eyelids to look at him. "Once we leave here, you'll probably feel even more inferior."
He seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move or speak, and just blinked at Ah Jiu.
He was now like a transparent person in front of Ajiu, and all his thoughts were seen through.
Bai Yuqing clenched his hands on both sides of his body tighter and tighter.
When Ah Jiu brought up the topic, he finally sighed and slowly squatted down in front of her, "Ah Jiu, what you said... is absolutely right."
"You don't have to leave this island. Right now, I already feel like you're... unattainable."
He squatted down, and at this moment, he said this to her from a completely upward perspective.
"During those few days... I met a lot of wealthy people. Their every move was calm and refined. Everyone spoke several languages, and the topics they discussed were things I had never even heard of before."
"I also recognize the you they talk about. They say you are very good and smart, but you are just not interested in business. Otherwise, you must be no worse than your brothers and sisters."
"Someone said he was always ranked second in school because you always put him ahead of him."
"If that's what others say about you, then today, I saw a more real and excellent you."
Jiang Jinyue sighed inwardly. It seemed that Zhang Can had already shown Bai Yuqing all the promising men in the circle.
"Then have you ever thought about why I don't like them but like you?"
"..." Bai Yuqing blinked, her eyelashes thick, and shook her head, "I haven't thought about it."
"..." Jiang Jinyue couldn't help but roll his eyes, "How stupid."
"I...see that they only think that you deserve better, or that I need to become better quickly, and they don't think about those problems at all."
"So what's your conclusion? Who do I deserve better? Alex or Li Shiyan, or..."
Jiang Jinyue called out a string of names, and Bai Yuqing's face grew darker and darker.
"No," Bai Yuqing answered quickly this time, "I think I need to become better to be worthy of you."
"Well, do you know what's a faster way?"
"What?"
Seeing Bai Yuqing's thirst for knowledge, Jiang Jinyue said compassionately, "Gray industry, or black industry. You can engage in drug trafficking, gun smuggling, telecommunications fraud, and more..."
Jiang Jinyue counted out these very "punishable" tasks in the criminal law one by one, while watching Bai Yuqing's expression change from astonishment to helplessness.
"Ajiu, I won't go down this path."
"Oh, then you can still reincarnate now. After all, the reason we are able to have what you consider to be 'excellence' is probably because we were both reincarnated into wealthy families and received elite education since childhood."
"...Ajiu, please don't blame me." Bai Yuqing took two steps and placed his head on Jiang Jinyue's knees, rubbing them back and forth a few times. He held her calves with his hands, like a puppy seeking caress. "Please."
"Ajiu, tell me, what should I do next? Okay? I'll do whatever you say."
Jiang Jinyue's heart softened, and she reached out to stroke his head. "Bai Yuqing, don't worry. Study hard and take your time. My money is enough to support you for the rest of your life."
"I'm not giving you a car to wear you down. I just want you to trust me wholeheartedly and not be so clear about breaking up with me."
"Also! Don't act like a male chauvinist! I can support you for the rest of your life, but I don't mean to stop you. But right now, this is completely insignificant, understand?"
"Okay, got it. I'll do as you say."
Dinner was eaten on the boat.
Candlelight dinner.
Perhaps because of that tense conversation, both of them put aside their grudges during this dinner, and the atmosphere was even more harmonious than at lunch.
After getting off the boat and on the way back to the hotel, Jiang Jinyue was already thinking about the romantic and charming atmosphere of the hotel. However, Bai Yuqi volunteered to carry her back.
So, the result was that when she woke up, it was already 3 a.m.
While walking on the beach, she fell asleep on his back without realizing it, and he didn't wake her up the whole time.
She sat up and saw no sign of anyone lying on the bed on the other side.
Thinking of something, Jiang Jinyue got out of bed and opened the bedroom door.
Sure enough, the man was lying on the sofa, covered with a small blanket.
Oh, what a gentleman.
Hearing the sound of her opening the door, the person on the sofa suddenly woke up, "What's wrong? Do you want some water?"
Looking at the first words that came out of his mouth in a daze, maybe it was because the night was too beautiful, or maybe it was because the sound of the waves was too rhythmic.
Jiang Jinyue didn't say anything, but walked straight towards him and kissed him.
The two of them first lay on the sofa. Bai Yuqing kept shouting "No, no" and picked her up. He took two or three big steps back to the bedroom and gently put her on the bed.
The two people understood each other tacitly and looked at each other intently.
However, as an innocent college student, Teacher Jiang deeply understood what it meant to "knowledge gained from books is always shallow". In addition, she was too shy and some of her words were vague. The two of them tried for a long time, but both ended in failure the first time.
Lying side by side on the bed, under the quilt, Bai Yuqing held her hand, enduring the pain.
He tentatively said, "Teacher Jiang, how about...I go to the after-school tutoring class?"
“…Yes, but you can only take text-based tutoring classes, not video classes!”
"Okay." Bai Yuqing curled his lips and smiled, "Would you like to make up lessons with me, Teacher Jiang?"
Jiang Jinyue pulled the quilt up, completely covering her face, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want it! You learn it yourself!"
Bai Yuqing studied diligently for a long time.
Actually, it wasn't long, but he now feels like every minute is a year.
Once you feel you have learned it, you will start to put it into practice.
Bai Yuqing is indeed a person with strong learning ability.
This time, it finally succeeded.
With the first rays of sunlight rising in the morning, the two of them achieved their first harmony in such an ignorant attempt.
"What is our schedule for today?" Jiang Jinyue asked breathlessly with a flushed face.
Bai Yuqing looked at her, his eyes gradually burning. After he had already started, he belatedly realized the question she had just asked.
He mumbled three words between his lips and teeth: "It's not important."
"The deposit you paid can't be refunded! We should get up!"
"unimportant."
"Bai Yuqing! Why are you being extravagant now?!"
"A night of spring is worth a thousand gold, and now is even more important."
Even if there were a ton of gold out there, it wouldn't be enough to take him away.
The man who usually sleeps on the sofa and is praised by Jiang Jinyue as a gentleman now acts like an insatiable beast.
What it means is—
It's not a human at all! Bai Yuqing!
On this day, the two of them did not go out all day.
Bai Yuqing's physical strength is so good that Jiang Jinyue wants to throw him directly into the sea to feed the sharks to see which of the two creatures can swim faster!
It was not until dinner time that Jiang Jinyue pushed Bai Yuqing to the balcony. When he thought that Ajiu had finally released his nature, he threw a bathrobe to him and locked him on the balcony.
Then I called room service and ordered food.
After eating and drinking, looking at Bai Yuqing who was alone on the balcony and looked quite pitiful, he felt kind-hearted and let him out.
Then…
"Bai Yuqing! Are you done yet?!"
“Not yet.”
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
Of course, later on, the screams changed.
(I really love writing about the heroine occupying a high position. The next book will also be like this. I have a burst of inspiration in my mind. I will tell you about the plot of the new book when this one is finished. It is very interesting.)
