Chapter Seventeen
[Waste System: Congratulations, host. Your integration with this system's world is 30%. Jiang Cuo's aversion to you is 60.]
Jiang Cuo's soft and gentle voice called out "Su Tongxue" in a pleasant tone, making Su Qianqian's ears itch and her heart skip a beat.
Su Qianqian, who was originally quite open and honest, suddenly became a little embarrassed. She scratched her cheek with her index finger covered in foam, then turned around and rinsed the foam off the little one with clean water.
Su Qianqian secretly took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
How come this female villain is suddenly so adorable?
Those exquisitely beautiful phoenix eyes, slightly upturned, exuded a captivating charm.
It's as if a serene fairy has suddenly become tainted by the mundane world, and suddenly comes alive.
No, she can't be a regular woman.
However, after the little one had the foam rinsed off, it became temperamental, stood up, and shook the water off its fur.
Su Qianqian was splashed in the face by the little one's water droplets, which immediately sobered her up, and she completely forgot about her romantic thoughts.
That's a major female villain, no ordinary person. This is a world where everyone is obsessed with love, but in the book, Jiang Cuo is clear-headed from beginning to end and doesn't develop feelings for anyone.
How could she possibly have designs on Jiang Cuo?
It's better to hold onto your inexhaustible wealth, enjoy life, and then become friends with Jiang Cuo again.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to live a carefree life?
When the time comes, she can just beckon with her finger and countless beauties will be eager to throw themselves into her arms.
Happy life...
So Su Qianqian composed herself and prepared to turn around and talk to Jiang Cuo. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she met Jiang Cuo's gaze.
Jiang Cuo stood ramrod straight, his gaze always carrying a faint chill.
But now, Su Qianqian suddenly felt that Jiang Cuo's gaze seemed warm, and that he had something to say. Su Qianqian felt inexplicably guilty and quickly turned her head away.
Su Qianqian suddenly felt a little regretful. If she were to provoke someone as serious as Jiang Cuo, she might not be able to bear the consequences.
Otherwise, she wouldn't let Jiang Cuo tutor her anymore. Anyway, all that high school knowledge is like it's engraved in her brain; she knows it by heart. She's known as a genius.
A true academic genius is someone who can recall the knowledge anytime, while a top student can only recall it at the moment and forget it afterward.
Moreover, Jiang Cuo's attitude towards her has softened, so the task should be much easier, and she won't need to have so much contact with him anymore.
Su Qianqian scratched her trouser leg with her wet fingers, then looked up and stammered, "It's good that you're not angry, Jiang. I did so many wrong things before, I don't expect to be forgiven by you, I just hope that you won't let me affect your mood. If there's nothing else, you can go back now. Little one has already washed up, and I won't mistreat her."
Don't worry, Jiang.
After Su Qianqian finished speaking, which she thought was extremely understanding, she looked up again and suddenly found that the gentleness in Jiang Cuo's eyes had turned cold.
Jiang Cuo's lips, which had just been slightly upturned, were now completely pursed up again.
Jiang Cuo frowned slightly.
What's going on with Su Qianqian?
Taking a walk in the back garden and letting the little one out is just to get her attention.
Then, it was only natural to invite her to the villa, just to bring up the matter of having her tutor him.
Why would I suddenly send her home? Did I lose my mind and forget something?
Seeing Jiang Cuo standing still without moving, Su Qianqian tilted her head in confusion, much like the little one behind her tilting his head.
Jiang clenched her fist, brought it to her lips, coughed lightly twice, and unconsciously glanced at the reflective floor tiles in the bathroom.
Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo stood facing each other, ignoring the little one in the bathtub. The little one was still just a puppy, only five months old. What could it understand? Seeing that no one was paying attention to it, it became a little annoyed and started jumping around.
She even accidentally chewed up the faucet in the bathtub, causing water to gush out. Without Su Qianqian's restraint, the little one jumped up and down, splashing water all over Su Qianqian.
The little one got splashed with water and actually started playing in it, splashing its paws incessantly in the bathtub.
Not content with playing in the bathtub, its massive body suddenly leaped out, splashing water all over Jiang Cuo.
Jiang Cuo's shirt was instantly soaked in the front.
But Jiang Cuo still caught the little one with quick reflexes.
Su Qianqian's eyes almost popped out of her head.
How dare this little guy be so bold?
She remembered that in the book, the female villain Jiang Cuo disliked being disheveled the most.
Jiang Cuo has a strong sense of self-respect. He also carries a burden, always maintaining his image and a cold demeanor.
When have I ever been this disheveled?
This little one is really reckless.
Don't think that just because you're cute you can do whatever you want.
Moreover, that little one was almost as big as Jiang Cuo's upper body, but he thought he was still a half-month-old baby, pitifully huddled in someone else's arms.
What's most infuriating is that the little one seemed to sense Su Qianqian's anger, and immediately shrank his neck, then looked at Su Qianqian pitifully with his round dog eyes.
That look seemed to say, "Go ahead and hit me, are you willing to do it? Go ahead and scold me, you must feel sorry for me."
Moreover, there are still outstanding debts to deal with Su Qianqian.
"Awoo awoo~ Awoo awoo...~"
It's as if it's saying: Sorry, being cute means you can do whatever you want.
Su Qianqian: ...
This dog is practically a spirit!
And shouldn't this size be considered tiny?
"Jiang, I'm so sorry, who knew the little one would suddenly start playing like this?"
Su Qianqian immediately picked up a towel and wiped the excess water off Jiang Cuo's body.
The key issue is that the little one is clinging to Jiang Cuo and won't get off.
It seemed to know that Su Qianqian was about to punish it after it jumped off Jiang Cuo.
The little dog is as clever as a human.
Afraid that Jiang Cuo would be angry, Su Qianqian hurriedly took a towel and first wiped the water splashed on Jiang Cuo's face.
Jiang Cuo's hair was soaked by the water the little one had splashed on him, and a few drops even trickled down his chin and neck.
Jiang Cuo was tall but slender, with clearly visible collarbones and a few drops of water lingering in the hollow of her collarbone.
Su Qianqian half-covered Jiang Cuo's neck with the towel, but accidentally got too close. It wasn't until the towel was half-dry that Su Qianqian realized what was happening, because Jiang Cuo's warm breath was already on her forehead.
Oh no, oh no, oh no!
Having finally gained Jiang Cuo's trust, she's now been undone by this little one. Will Jiang Cuo misunderstand and think she deliberately approached her?
But now that things have come to this, if she suddenly backs away, wouldn't that make her seem like she has ulterior motives?
Su Qianqian had no choice but to bite the bullet and pretend nothing was wrong as she continued wiping.
At this moment, Jiang Cuo was completely stiff, his hands numb as he held the little puppy in his arms, afraid that the puppy would fall.
They could only let Su Qianqian handle them.
Her breath hit Su Qianqian's forehead, and she could feel the warmth of Su Qianqian's forehead on the tip of her nose. She only needed to lower her head slightly to see Su Qianqian's serious expression and her butterfly-like eyelashes.
Her bright eyes were strikingly similar to the little one in her arms, especially when she was trying to gain sympathy; her eyes would widen and look pitiful.
Jiang Cuo thought that Su Qianqian would be disgusted by her approach and would hate this behavior, but to her surprise, she remained stiff and motionless, without resisting at all, and quietly waited for Su Qianqian to leave.
Although Su Qianqian tried her best to restrain her gaze, it still fell on Jiang Cuo's slender neck.
How can Jiang Cuo's neck be so white?
If you were to take a bite, the bright red mark would definitely be clearly visible.
Su Qianqian silently ground her back teeth, and just as she was about to look away, she saw Jiang Cuo's snow-white neck suddenly roll up and down.
At this moment, the little dog suddenly jumped off Jiang Cuo's body, circled around Su Qianqian's feet, and then pawed at Su Qianqian's legs. The five-month-old dog stood up and reached Su Qianqian's thigh, catching her off guard.
This time, Su Qianqian held a towel in her hand and did not reach out to maintain her balance.
To Su Qianqian's surprise, Jiang Cuo actually reached out and caught her, preventing her from falling.
Su Qianqian dared not presume to be affectionate.
No, no, I can't let lust get the better of me; my life is more important.
Su Qianqian quickly steadied herself, took several steps back to keep a distance of one step from Jiang Cuo, and then handed the towel to Jiang Cuo with utmost integrity.
"Jiang, hurry up and wipe yourself dry. You're still so young and don't know any better. You've gotten so much water on Jiang. It would be terrible if you caught a cold."
Jiang Cuo looked at the towel in his hand and at Su Qianqian's slightly evasive gaze, his phoenix eyes narrowing slightly.
"It's nothing serious."
Su Qianqian glanced out the bathroom window; after all that fuss, it was already dark.
And she got everything she wanted.
"That's great. If Jiang is alright, please go home first."
I need to get ready too. Remember to take a hot bath when you get home, Jiang, to avoid catching a cold.
Jiang Cuo pursed his lips into a straight line, but seeing the obvious intention to see him out in Su Qianqian's eyes, he didn't say anything more, put the towel aside, and turned to leave.
Even after leaving the villa, Jiang Cuo still couldn't figure out what Su Qianqian was up to this time.
I'll tell her tomorrow, and ask her to tutor her.
When the opportunity arose, they didn't mention it again.
Everyone around them says that Su Qianqian likes her...
