Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 3.003. Thank you for your kind invitation, Miss Jiang.

Whether it was her imagination or not, the corners of the man's lips, half-hidden in the shadows, seemed to droop slightly.

"Oh, what kind of compensation does Miss Jiang plan to give me?"

His tone was calm and even, revealing no emotion.

Jiang Jixu pursed her lips; in fact, she regretted saying those words as soon as they left her mouth.

In a novel, this kind of hindsight commentary would be considered pure scumbag behavior.

Moreover, they don't show much respect for people.

But there was no turning back now, so she could only grit her teeth and continue, "...money or anything else...you name it, as long as I have it, it's fine."

Lu Lishen slowly raised his hand, revealing half of his muscular forearm, with two crystal cufflinks on his palm gleaming slightly.

"It's not very convenient for me to do it myself."

"Ah... ah?"

Jiang Jixu stared blankly.

Her pair of bright, almond-shaped eyes were like a lost cat on the roadside, making you want to reach out and rub them.

Lu Lishen's fingertips twitched slightly at his side, but his expression remained unchanged. His dark, narrow eyes were half-closed, and his voice was low and cold.

"Reciprocity is reciprocated."

The man's words were ambiguous, and it took Jiang Jixu a while to realize that he was referring to helping her with her zipper.

It's only fair that she helps him button up his shirt; it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that, does it?
Jiang Jixu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and pinched the cuff of his sleeve.

My fingertips inevitably touched the lines on my palm, causing a slight itch.

Lu Lishen's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Jiang Jixu's slender, delicate hands.

Her skin was fair and delicate, without a single pore visible. A small red mole was faintly visible on the back of her right hand, making it very memorable.

"All right."

The gentle tone pulled the man back to reality, and he realized that he seemed to have been staring at those hands for too long.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and Lu Lishen subtly averted his gaze: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The girl's amber eyes curved slightly, like a cappuccino with milk in the soft white light, instantly dispelling any lingering emotions he might have had. Jiang Jixu, however, felt uneasy.

He told her to tie her cuffs, and she did. Does that mean the matter is over?
Jiang Jixu tried to guess the man's thoughts by looking at his expression, but it was to no avail.

Just as he was hesitating, Lu Lishen suddenly spoke up.

"This is my first time."

"?"

Jiang Jixu was a little confused.

She had heard Jiang Wang say that Lu Lishen didn't have many girls around him, but what did it mean to say that to her?
Lu Lishen lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting deep and shallow shadows below his eyelids, and remained silent.

Jiang Jixu tentatively asked, "Then shall I treat you to dinner?"

Lu Lishen picked up his coat from the sofa, lazily raised his eyes, and a faint smile curved his lips: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Jiang."

Jiang Jixu: "..."

But then he took out his phone and searched for nearby restaurants: "Shall we go now? Should we call Ah Wang along?"

A cool, clear voice drifted over from above.

"random."

The next second, Jiang Jixu felt some weight on his shoulders.

She was taken aback, looked down at the black suit jacket she was wearing, and belatedly looked at Lu Lishen.

The man was looking down and adjusting his collar; his profile was smooth and clean, and he was perfect from every angle.

Lu Lishen felt her gaze and paused slightly.

"What's wrong."

Jiang Jixu looked away and said, "Thank you."

Although spring has arrived, the temperature in Beijing is still somewhat low.

She just didn't expect Lu Lishen to be so thoughtful.

He looks a bit... unlike him.
