Chapter 10 Models
The two were arguing so loudly that they attracted the attention of the dormitory supervisor.
So the two of them had no choice but to hold their anger in and part ways.
Back in her dorm, Bai Zhenzhu was still angry, but she had clearly won this round.
She felt excited just thinking about Li Qianni's half-dead appearance.
“Pearl, although you made Li Qianni misunderstand Shi Jin, Li Qianni will find out the truth sooner or later. You can’t break them up with such a flawed scheme. Maybe because of this, Li Qianni will feel that she went too far and like Shi Jin more and more?”
Bai Zhenzhu had of course thought of this as well. She was not so foolish as to think that a little provocation could separate the two of them.
She's just recently become addicted to watching short dramas and suddenly wants to show off her talent as a director!
"Jiaxi, this is just an appetizer. Let them both have their moment of trouble first..."
...
Meanwhile, Shi Jin, anxious and unable to contact Li Qianni, had no choice but to return to school.
He also has a lecture given by the dean in the evening, which he cannot miss.
Qin Shen watched Shi Jin leave happily and return dejectedly, and asked curiously, "Young Master Shi, what's wrong? Did you quarrel with Qianni?"
Qin Shen has always been a fun-loving guy with a rich romantic history, and you can tell what's going on just by looking at Shi Jin like this.
Shi Jin sighed deeply, and then told Qin Shen what had happened at the restaurant that day.
"Holy crap! Young Master Shi, you're really something! When did you go to Shang K? Why didn't you take me with you? And why weren't you careful? You got someone's sister pregnant!"
"roll!"
Shi Jin kicked him.
Qin Shen dared not joke around anymore.
So he began to analyze the situation for Shi Jin with earnest words.
"Young Master Shi, based on my years of experience navigating the dating scene, Qianni's anger is definitely due to jealousy. She likes you 100%, so you should be happy right now. Why are you so upset?"
Qin Shen's words were a revelation to him.
Those worries finally vanished.
But his happiness only lasted two seconds before he started to worry again.
"But she blocked me and won't talk to me or listen to my explanations. Even if I know she likes me, there's nothing I can do now."
"Young Master Shi, although your IQ is high enough, your EQ is a bit... uh..."
Shi Jin glared at him, startling him so much that he swallowed back what he was about to say.
"Since you have high emotional intelligence, what do you suggest we do?"
Shi Jin listened attentively to Qin Shen telling him about love, just like a good student.
"It's simple. She ignores you, but she talks to me. I'll go tell Qianni the truth..."
Shi Jin patted Qin Shen on the shoulder, "Okay, my happiness is in your hands now. You have to make Qianni forgive me!"
...
Sunday.
Inside a large, single-level apartment in Kyoto.
Shi Jin was still asleep when his cell phone rang, waking him up.
He answered the call in frustration.
Who is it?
"It's me, White Pearl..."
"White Pearl? Who's that?"
Shi Jin was still a little dazed and confused.
Have you forgotten me so quickly?
A woman's voice, slightly choked with sobs, came from the other end of the phone.
Shi Jin immediately regained his senses.
I opened my eyes, glanced at my phone screen, rubbed my hair, and sat up in bed.
"What's up?"
He remained as cold and distant as ever towards her, with a hint of annoyance at having his beautiful dream disturbed.
"Shi Jin, have you made up your mind?"
"What are you considering?"
Shi Jin had clearly put Bai Zhenzhu's matter out of his mind.
"Be my model! My assignment is due tomorrow, and you still haven't decided? Do you want me to get a zero?"
Shi Jin is currently overwhelmed with his own affairs and has no desire to deal with Bai Zhenzhu.
But Bai Zhenzhu seemed about to cry again as she spoke.
In the end, he could only reluctantly agree.
"Okay, I agree."
Bai Zhenzhu immediately beamed with a smug smile.
"Where should we paint then? I need an absolutely quiet and private space to create art..."
...
Half an hour later.
At the apartment entrance, Bai Zhenzhu was waiting outside with her drawing board and paints.
Today she wore a white cotton long dress, a light pink knitted cardigan, and simple beige platform shoes, with her long, straight hair flowing down her back.
She appears to have a cool yet gentle demeanor.
Shi Jin, dressed in dark gray loungewear, opened the door.
Upon seeing such pure and beautiful white pearls, Shi Jin's heart involuntarily tightened.
Bai Zhenzhu pursed her lips shyly, her voice perfectly soft and gentle: "Senior Shi Jin, I'm sorry to bother you."
Shi Jin felt his bones melt at the sound of that "senior."
He coughed awkwardly twice.
"Don't bother me, come in."
Bai Zhenzhu followed Shi Jin into the apartment.
This is the most expensive apartment in Kyoto, with each unit starting at at least 100 million yen.
It's not something you can just buy whenever you want; apparently, they'll assess your assets and social status.
This demonstrates the Shi family's considerable strength.
White Pearl looked at the apartment with curiosity.
She slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the iconic Kyoto building. The feeling of overlooking all living beings made her feel a little smug.
No wonder money and power can make people sink deeper and deeper...
She thought that one day, she would stand on Shi Jin's shoulders and become the envy of everyone.
"My time is limited, I need to draw quickly."
Shi Jin impatiently urged her from behind.
He didn't want to waste his time on such boring things.
Bai Zhenzhu turned around and gave him a sweet smile.
"Then take it off!"
"Take it off? Take off what?"
Shi Jin looked at her warily, his hands already placed on his chest in a defensive posture.
Bai Zhenzhu looked at him with a mocking expression, then slowly moved closer.
What do you think?
Then he raised one hand and ambiguously brushed it across the top button of Shi Jin's loungewear.
She hooked up to him like a little enchantress.
Shi Jin stiffened for a moment, then quickly stepped back to create distance between himself and Bai Zhenzhu.
"White Pearl, please show some respect!"
Bai Zhenzhu sneered inwardly. Look, this hypocrite is pretending to be virtuous again!
Even though you can feel it, you still insist on fighting against gravity!
"Senior Shi Jin, why are you so agitated? I just wanted to remind you that you really should take your shirt off... How am I supposed to draw your muscle definition if you don't take it off?"
"You made me take off my clothes so you could draw me?"
"What else could it be? You think I'd make you take your clothes off so I could have sex with you?"
Bai Zhenzhu looked at him slyly, using her most innocent face to say the boldest lewd things, yet she didn't feel ashamed at all.
Shi Jin's face turned ashen, showing a displeasure at being offended.
"I can paint without you taking your clothes off," he said through gritted teeth, emphasizing each word.
He didn't want to take it off, and felt there was no need to.
"But this assignment requires drawing a nude body. I've already compromised and agreed to only draw your upper body, so you can't go back on your word!"
She moved closer to Shi Jin once more, her clear, innocent eyes glistening with tears, a smile playing on her lips, and slowly said, "Or do you want me to draw your lower body?"
"White pearl!"
Shi Jin was furious and pushed the person away.
He looked at her with disgust.
Seeing that Shi Jin was about to explode with anger, Bai Zhenzhu decided to put aside her wicked jokes and finish the painting before teasing him again.
"Oh, Shi Jin, just kidding! How can you have so little sense of humor!"
Shi Jin's anger subsided slightly, but some principles still needed to be clarified.
"I can be your model, but I can't take my clothes off."
"Okay, then I won't take it off, just show me a little bit of your collarbone..."
Shi Jin's jawline started to tighten again.
"Shi Jin, are you an old-fashioned person? You can't even show a little bit of your collarbone?!"
