A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 32: I'll give you my first kiss, but you don't want it?
Those words that were taken for granted at the time now caused Jiang Yanzhi's expression to change.

"Wanwan,"

He tightened his grip on her hand, his expression serious. "Since you've chosen me, you must remain steadfast in your choice from now on. Don't hold onto any lingering feelings for him, understand?"

"knew."

Tang Wanwan nodded without hesitation.

He is the male lead, and she is the female supporting character who caused him great emotional pain and is waiting for the female lead to redeem her. They will be entangled with each other for a very long time.

Even if they break up, they will get back together.

And so it goes, repeatedly choosing him.

Five times.

How can this not be considered a form of determination?

Of course I'm determined.

If Jiang Yanzhi had even a little bit of mind-reading ability and knew what she was thinking right now, he would probably be so angry he'd laugh.

Thankfully, he didn't.

Seeing her nod in agreement, looking incredibly obedient, his heart warmed, and a faint ripple appeared in his eyes.

"This is my first time being someone's boyfriend. If there's anything I've done wrong, you can tell me directly, and I'll change whatever I can."

With Shen Xianyu as a shining example, Jiang Yanzhi didn't know if he could compare to her.

After all, very few boyfriends can take care of their girlfriends as meticulously as Shen Xianyu.

But he is willing to try to learn.

Jiang Yanzhi's competitive spirit was frighteningly strong when it came to who treated her better.

That's incredibly ambitious.

He was determined to outdo Shen Xianyu.

Tang Wanwan, however, was focused on something else entirely.

"...You," she blinked, unable to resist asking, "you...have never had a girlfriend before?"

Jiang Yan replied, "No."

He didn't find it strange at all. Seeing her surprise, he frowned instead. "Do you think I should have that?"

"That's not what I meant,"

Tang Wanwan explained, "Mainly because I see there's no shortage of girls in your circle tonight, and your brothers are all surrounded by beauties..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "Are you the only one who's unaffected?"

It was a tone that was hard to put into words.

Jiang Yanzhi laughed upon hearing this.

"Who said I'm all alone?"

As he said this, he did not list out who else was "clean-up," but only said, "I can't judge their private lives, but I'm really busy. I have neither the time nor the inclination to indulge in sensual pleasures with them."

“I don’t attend a party like this once a month. If it weren’t for wanting to see you… I wouldn’t have invited them to my house.”

He frankly admitted that his initial motives were not pure.

Tang Wanwan didn't even raise an eyebrow, only asking, "You mean, you haven't had any intimate contact with any girl?"

Jiang Yanzhi paused for a moment, then tilted his head and leaned closer. "You care about this?"

Tang Wanwan gently shook her head, "I wouldn't say I care, just think of it as me being curious."

I wouldn't say I care.

Jiang Yanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing him. "You really don't care?"

Tang Wanwan was puzzled by the sudden change in tone.

She looked at him, puzzled, and said, "If you want to talk, then talk; if you don't, then don't."

"..."

Jiang Yanzhi remained silent, staring at her intently for a long time.

In the end, it turned out that this girl really had no idea what 'not caring' meant in a relationship.

He sighed softly, "It's hard to imagine you've had a relationship that lasted quite a while."

Shen Xianyu's words and actions were appropriate, and she never "cared" about him.

Or is she simply clueless?
So much so that now that it's his turn, he's still the same, and he doesn't even think about being jealous.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yanzhi couldn't help but smile again. He felt that this was quite good.

This at least shows that her relationship with Shen Xianyu was nothing special.

After all, he wasn't as magnanimous as she was; he genuinely cared a lot about her past relationship.

Looking at his still-naive lover, Jiang Yanzhi earnestly explained, "Listen carefully, I have never been with anyone else, not in any way."

He had neither a proper girlfriend nor any of the other women she fantasized about.

Tang Wanwan was stunned.

So, she misunderstood him just now?

There's no such thing as being driven by lust without being emotionally involved.

He is genuinely virtuous and has never been in a relationship; he is not the playboy she imagines him to be.

Even when the girl who poured him wine got close, he knew to avoid her.

...He wasn't lying; he genuinely cared about her, which is why he made so many exceptions for her.

From Jiang Yanzhi's perspective, they fell in love with each other at first sight, and she gave up Shen Xianyu for him and chose to be with him.

But the truth is, ...they had barely established their relationship when she started thinking about when their first breakup in her dream would have happened.

She... seems really bad.

Tang Wanwan fell into a brief period of self-criticism.

"What are you thinking about? Don't let your mind wander..."

Jiang Yanzhi rested his chin on the crook of her neck, his eyes unconsciously softening.

"Although our relationship started somewhat hastily, don't worry, I never act impulsively, Wanwan... I won't let you regret your choice today."

I looked at her, her eyes bright and focused, filled with nothing but her.

Under such gazes, Tang Wanwan felt flustered and breathless, as if her despicable nature was about to be exposed.

A question I had never considered before came to mind.

If he truly likes her and it's not just lust at first sight.

What kind of catastrophe must she be facing for him afterward?

Jiang Yanzhi had no idea what she was thinking. The two were too close, and the girl's slender, fair neck was right in front of him. He couldn't help but peck at her, and then followed her cheek to kiss her, trying to find her lips.

Tang Wanwan quickly turned her face away.

The kiss missed, and Jiang Yanzhi clicked his tongue lightly, "I'll give you my first kiss, you don't want it?"

"..." Tang Wanwan was amazed by his skin and reminded him, "Your lips are covered in ointment."

He was still injured, but he couldn't wait to give her a kiss.

Even if he wasn't afraid of pain, she would still find it unpleasant.

Jiang Yanzhi smiled and said, "Okay, we'll kiss when we're all better."

Tang Wanwan looked at his smile and suddenly remembered something.

"You told Shen Xianyu that you had feelings for me twice, both times... When was that?"

These words really reminded Jiang Yanzhi.

He found her phone, pointed to the screen saver, and said, "Change it now."

Tang Wanwan: "..."

She asked incredulously, "You saw my picture?"

Jiang Yanzhi hummed in agreement, somewhat regretful, "I should have gone to see you sooner."

She and Shen Xianyu only confirmed their relationship after the college entrance examination.

If he had met her sooner, she wouldn't have had an 'ex-boyfriend,' and she would belong entirely to him.

Tang Wanwan fell silent.

Jiang Yanzhi opened his phone, wanting to find a photo of himself to send to her as a screensaver, but after searching through his photo album without success, he opened the camera and was about to take a picture on the spot.

Tang Wanwan stopped him, saying, "The lighting won't be good tonight. Let's film tomorrow when we have time."

Jiang Yanzhi had no choice but to give up.

Tang Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Tonight, I was so ruthless to Shen Xianyu. Don't you think I was too cruel?"
