Su Qianqian tilted her head slightly and saw that Jiang Cuo had already moved to her right without her noticing and placed her left wrist in her palm.
Su Qianqian: "..." Kou Hao? 71683155
The two of them walked awkwardly, their hands and feet moving in unison, until they reached Su Qianqian's room.
Su Qianqian's room was entirely pink, with a distinct princess style.
For a moment, Su Qianqian felt a little embarrassed.
There's no way around it. Although she has the soul of a 22-year-old living in her body, she is still very girlish at heart. After transmigrating, she asked the housekeeper to decorate her bedroom in a pink princess style. She wonders if Jiang Cuo will look at her with strange eyes.
Su Qianqian's room was very large, almost like a small house.
It has a separate bathroom, the desk and dressing table are not in the same place, there is a full-length window, plus a balcony.
Before Su Qianqian went downstairs to get a drink of water, she planned to go to sleep, so she didn't turn on the main light at all, only a small, dimly lit desk lamp.
The curtains weren't drawn, and the moonlight from outside the French windows dappled in.
Su Qianqian immediately turned on all the lights in the room.
However, the most awkward thing is...
Her desk was spotless; there wasn't a single book on it.
Su Qianqian released her grip on Jiang Cuo's wrist.
Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw several bright pink finger marks on Jiang Cuo's wrist.
She didn't use much force, so why are there still marks?
"Su is really a diligent student; her desk is so clean."
Su Qianqian could naturally hear the sarcasm in Jiang Cuo's words, and could only silently touch the tip of her nose to hide her embarrassment.
"What Jiang said really hurt me. I was afraid that Jiang would give me my textbooks to get dusty, so I only took them out when I was studying, and kept them in my bag to protect them when I wasn't studying."
Jiang Cuo walked to Su Qianqian's desk, traced the surface with his finger, gave Su Qianqian a look, and then sat down in a familiar manner.
[Waste System: Congratulations, host, you have triggered a daily random mini-task.]
Task 1: While Jiang Cuo is earnestly lecturing, the host must stare intently at Jiang Cuo's profile, displaying extreme fascination, and then deliver the line, "Jiang Cuo is so focused? I'm afraid I might do something unexpected."
Task Two: The moment Jiang Cuo took out his textbook, the host swiftly pressed Jiang Cuo's hand, along with the textbook, onto the table, then delivered the line, "Jiang Cuo is acting rather strangely today. Could it be that he had ulterior motives for having his classmate tutor me, or is Jiang Cuo simply jealous?"
The host can choose any one of the tasks to complete. After completing the task, the host will receive a cash reward.
Once the host completes all the above tasks, they will receive three cash withdrawal rewards.
Su Qianqian was so angry at the useless system that her teeth itched. Good grief, it just wanted to make things difficult for her, didn't it?
She finally got a withdrawal limit, but there's a limit on the number of withdrawals. Isn't this just a joke?
The key point is that this system really knows how to manipulate her heart; these three withdrawal opportunities are three times more than one!
It's not like she's bad at math. Anyway, she's already embarrassed herself. She's lost so much face that it's practically the same as losing all face.
Of course, it's important three times.
Seeing that Jiang Cuo had already pulled out his chair and was about to sit down at the table, and opened his schoolbag to put his textbooks on the desk, if we didn't act now, we would miss this action and wouldn't be able to complete Task Two.
Su Qianqian, having already put on a smiling expression, immediately darted to Jiang Cuo's right.
He plopped down, and just as Jiang Cuo placed his textbook on the table, he reached out and slapped Jiang Cuo, textbook and all, into his palm.
"Jiang, why did you suddenly decide to tutor me today? I'm a little flattered. Could it be that you have ulterior motives?"
Su Qianqian tried to control her expression while reciting her lines, but in her heart, all she felt was disgust.
How could Jiang Cuo be jealous of Su Lian? If Jiang Cuo weren't so cold-hearted, or if he were someone else with a short temper, he would have beaten Su Lian up long ago.
This useless system, can't it even think before issuing tasks?
So when Su Qianqian uttered the last line of dialogue arranged by the system, it sounded awkward no matter how she listened to it.
They couldn't even get over the psychological hurdle; they wanted to say it, but the words were stuck in their throats, and they just couldn't get them out.
No matter how strangely his mouth was shaped, even his facial expressions became somewhat distorted.
"Is Jiang jealous?"
In the end, Su Qianqian could only speak in a strange tone and at an extremely fast pace, hoping that Jiang Cuo wouldn't hear what she was saying.
Su Qianqian was not as tall as Jiang Cuo, nor were her arms as long, so if she wanted to press down Jiang Cuo's hands and textbooks, she had to be very close to him.
But she didn't want to feel the cold air around Jiang Cuo, so she only kept her shoulder close to Jiang Cuo, while trying to keep her buttocks and the stool as far away from him as possible.
His upper body twisted like a snake.
However, in Jiang Cuo's eyes, Su Qianqian's half-seduce expression, her butt sticking out, her shoulders hunched, and her waist trying to be as serpentine as possible.
His slightly cool palm rested on the back of her hand.
It was as if there were outsiders present in the villa's living room earlier, and I was restraining myself from feeling awkward.
Once inside his room, he completely unleashed his true nature.
Bringing Su Lian to the villa and lingering in front of her, could it be to get her attention?
Is this also a case of feigning indifference to lure the prey?
Now that Su Qianqian's feigned indifference wasn't working, she lured her to her room, intending to seduce her.
No wonder the desks in the room were so clean, and the study was covered in a layer of dust. He wasn't focusing on studying at all; he was using all his energy on her.
Jiang Cuo's fingertips twitched slightly, but his expression remained cold, and his lips were pursed.
He seemed to be watching Su Qianqian's next move without making a sound.
[Useless System: Congratulations, host, mission two has been successfully completed. Please choose the reward for the current mission or continue with mission one?]
They've already embarrassed themselves to the point of being shameful, they don't even care if they're embarrassed in outer space.
'Of course, we'll continue.'
Even from the voice in her heart, Su Qianqian could feel herself gritting her teeth.
Now that the task was completed, Su Qianqian immediately withdrew her hand, sat upright on her stool, and placed her hands on her chest like a primary school student listening to a lesson.
Then he put away his slightly frivolous expression and put on a humble and attentive look.
Su Qianqian's sudden change of expression was so drastic that even Jiang Cuo, who was usually very good at controlling his emotions, was caught off guard and stared blankly for a moment.
Even after Su Qianqian withdrew her hand, Jiang Cuo held the pose for three seconds, waiting for Su Qianqian's next move.
Finally, Su Qianqian stared at her with a puzzled expression.
Jiang Cuo's face seemed to be a mixture of coldness and kindness brewing within it.
She wouldn't fall for Su Qianqian's tricks so easily.
Jiang Cuo calmly opened his textbook.
The two of them have a hundred schemes in their hearts, but on the surface they are competing to see who can act more convincingly.
Jiang Cuo closed the textbook. "Student Su, you don't need to think too much about the explanation. I've already said it. Time is like money. Since you care so much about your money, you must also care about time. Let's not waste time on these meaningless things."
Jiang Cuo seemed to have explained something, but at the same time, he didn't explain anything at all.
Just as the two of them had adjusted their mindset and were about to get down to business, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Su Qianqian knew that the housekeeper would instruct the servants to bring her a cup of hot milk every night, so she didn't expect that Su Lian would be the one to bring the milk to her door.
Su Lian opened the door, looking apologetic as if she had disturbed Su Qianqian. She lowered her head slightly and said in a soft voice, "Sister, your hot milk is here. May I come in and put it on your table?"
[Waste System: Congratulations, host. Jiang Cuo's aversion to you has decreased by two. Jiang Cuo's current task value towards you is 43.]
Su Lian: ?
Su Lian has appeared, and Jiang Cuo's aversion to her has decreased again?
But this was clearly not the case before. When they were in school together, Su Lian was always in front of them, and Jiang Cuo didn't react at all. What's going on?
Su Qianqian originally didn't want Su Lian to get involved, since she still had a task to complete. However, she was also very eager to understand why Jiang Cuo's dislike level had decreased, so she could only wave her hand and let Su Lian in.
Su Lian was naturally very perceptive. After placing the milk on the table, she stood timidly beside Jiang Cuo and sincerely apologized.
“Jiang Cuo, I apologize for what happened that day. I was immature before and always wanted to make things difficult for my sister, which is why I did such a foolish thing. I don’t expect your forgiveness, and I don’t have the ability to make up for it, but I hope you can believe me and that I will not do such a thing again. Please give me a chance.”
Jiang Cuo's expression remained unchanged; he kept his head down, staring at his textbook, not sparing Su Lian a single glance or giving her any response, leaving her completely baffled.
Su Qianqian was filled with trepidation as Su Lian brought up that unpleasant matter.
What if Jiang Cuo gets upset and his dislike level increases?
Su Qianqian was tense for a long time, but when she found that the system did not give any notification sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.
There were only two stools in the room. If Su Lian wanted to stay, she would have to sit next to the teacher and listen to the lesson. Su Qianqian noticed Jiang Cuo's gaze and waved to Su Lian, "Go and get another stool. Jiang Jiang isn't blaming you. It's because Jiang Jiang is magnanimous and thick-skinned that I'm begging you to listen to the lesson and learn something so you won't be last in class."
As Su Qianqian spoke, she looked at Jiang Cuo's expression and found that Jiang Cuo's brows were relaxed and he was not unhappy. Only then did she dare to ask Su Lian to bring a stool and sit down next to the two of them.
But what Su Qianqian found a little strange was that this time she called Jiang Cuo by his nickname, Jiang Jiang.
Surprisingly, Jiang Cuo wasn't angry with her.
Su Lian immediately obeyed and took a stool. She found that there was only enough space between Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo next to the desk, so she had no choice but to put the stool between the two of them.
As soon as Su Lian put the stool down, Jiang Cuo silently and naturally sat down on it, getting closer to Su Qianqian.
They did not let Su Lian sit between the two of them.
Su Qianqian: "...?"
Su Lian had no right to choose, so she could only sit at the other end.
When Su Lian placed the stools, she deliberately put the middle stool closer to Su Qianqian.
So when Su Lian sat on the bench at the very edge, she was a certain distance away from Su Qianqian and Jiang Cuo.
[Waste System: A friendly reminder to the host, Jiang Cuo's aversion to you has increased by 2. Jiang Cuo's current task value towards you is 45.]
Su Qianqian: "??"
Why have there been more?
Wasn't Su Lian sitting next to the two of them?
If the assumption that Jiang Cuo's dislike level would decrease upon Su Lian's appearance is true, then this situation is impossible.
