But reality is beyond Jiang Tang's control.

At this moment, on the rooftop of the city building, at a commanding vantage point with a wide view, the girl Ren Qianning stood beside her companion (Big Gun), idly munching on tomato-flavored potato chips.

The wind whipped her dark skirt, and her pupils, sharp as an eagle's, revealed a faint black dot walking along the riverbank—the target she was monitoring: Jiang Tang.

"Today's safety should be as expected."

110 Her naiveté

"..." Jiang Tang stared silently at his reflection in the full-length mirror, where he looked tall and handsome in a formal suit.

Shi Xue couldn't resist hugging her master tightly from behind, while offering an explanation.

"It's definitely better to be a bit more formal when attending a class reunion."

Although these clothes were bought by another woman for her master, the fabric was exquisite and the price was expensive.

But Shixue no longer cares about this.

It was already evening, a day later. Jiang Tang had stayed home all day, and then received Zhou Zhitu's location. He prepared to change into warm clothes and go out. Yesterday the sun was shining brightly, but today it was cloudy and rainy.

However, Shi Xue grabbed his sleeve and, half-heartedly, made him change into the suit and tie that Qiu Lengyan had bought for him.

The details were intricate, but Ye Shixue seemed to be enjoying them immensely.

As for the final result, one can see a glimpse of it just from Shi Xue's starry eyes.

Suits truly live up to their reputation as "girl-killer suits".

In contrast to what girls call "boy-slaying outfits".

Jiang Tang thought to himself that he was wearing a suit given to him by Qiu Lengyan, and had been carefully dressed up by Shi Xue, to attend a classmate reunion invited by Zhou Zhitu, where An Qianxi was not present.

So messy...

Was I really such a sinful man?

Oh right, I also received a message from Lilith on my phone.

Lilith: "Did you eat well tonight?"

Jiang Tang: "Mm."

………………

"Xia Yue! Jiang Tang replied to me instantly!"

Lilith was curled up on her princess bed, sitting sideways and holding her phone.

Excitedly, she rolled over and tumbled around before continuing to reply to a message that Jiang Tang had taken her ages to send her.

Her maid, Xia Yue, was quietly serving by the bedside, and upon seeing this, she remained expressionless.

But you can still sense her feelings to some extent.

Undoubtedly, it's a speechless "...".

In a sense, it seems that our young lady has changed in a strange direction...

Yesterday, Lilith asked Xia Yue a classic question.

"Xia Yue, why did Jiang Tang say he was going to take a shower after chatting with me for a while?"

"...Perhaps it's because Young Master Jiang Tang is a clean person."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

That makes sense...bullshit!

This looks exactly like the classic image of a simp fawning over a goddess!

The only difference is that the object of his affections has changed to Jiang Tang, and his young mistress Lilith has become a female simp!

If the young lady continues to develop like this, the maid Xia Yue is almost at a loss as to how to explain it to the adults in the family.

After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly offered her advice.

"Young Miss, you must remember that things and people that are too easily obtained will not be cherished!"

"I know!" But Lilith's response was unexpectedly frank and earnest.

"Eh..." Xia Yue was confused. If the young lady knew that she was still willing to be a simp, then she really didn't know how to change the young lady, because this might just be the young lady's true nature.

"Jiang Tang is so rare and so hard to win over, of course I have to cherish him even more!"

"I feel like he cares about me more and more. This time he replied instantly. Next time he might send me a few more words, or even just a sentence!"

Lilith excitedly anticipated the moment, completely unaware that the maid beside her already had a look of utter defeat on her face.

No... your understanding of the object is completely reversed!

Logically, shouldn't I first reflect on myself and consider whether I should be so proactive? Why am I still fawning over them as always...?

Today's outcome, without a doubt, is a victory for Jiang Tang.

………………

Although he replied quickly, Jiang Tang's total thinking time was... no, he didn't think at all.

I just typed "Mm" in reply.

It's fair to say that it was very perfunctory.

Besides, Jiang Tang hadn't actually eaten dinner yet; who would fill their stomach before a get-together?

He turned off his phone, said goodbye to Shixue, and left the house.

To Jiang Tang's surprise, Lilith's image appeared in his mind.

Her signature blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin.

If Jiang Tang had to describe his feelings for Lilith, he would say she was like a loli with the figure of a mature woman, a rare and innocent heart hidden beneath her mature exterior.

She naively thought she could quickly win over a man with her charm, only to fall into his trap.

Naively believing that being kind to others will bring rewards, they end up becoming sycophants.

As these thoughts arose, a strange feeling welled up inside me, like wisps of smoke dissipating in the wind.

Jiang Tang suddenly took out his phone again and typed in Lilith's message box.

Jiang Tang: "I'm going to a class reunion, so I've put my phone on Do Not Disturb mode."

Lilith: "Class reunion! Ah... I see."

Lilith: "I won't bother Jiang Tang. Jiang Tang should go home early. It's dangerous for a boy to be out alone at night."

Jiang Tang actually saw the two messages she sent.

This time, however, he wouldn't have that impulse to suddenly go back.

After turning off his phone, Jiang Tang went downstairs and stood at the intersection hailing a taxi. His formal attire made him stand out, attracting attention for a few moments. However, one would no longer be drawn to his clothes, because compared to his high-end custom-made attire, his handsome face was a natural gem that captivated the soul.

But pedestrians were in a hurry, and few were willing to stop for him.

Jiang Tang was used to being the center of attention. He got into a taxi when it was about to rain. After telling the driver where he wanted to go, he leaned his head back on the soft cushion and closed his eyes to rest.

If you're not too sleepy, you can't really fall asleep in a taxi; it just feels like you're swaying for a while before you arrive at your destination.

"Thank you, driver." Jiang Tang scanned the QR code to pay, then opened the door and got out of the car.

The person who organized the class reunion was Jiang Tang's class monitor, whose name was Zhou Quan.

Speaking of which, he once pursued An Qianxi, who was the art and literature committee member. However, when Jiang Tang stood next to An Qianxi, all the boys in the school immediately realized that they had no chance anymore.

At this moment, Zhou Quan was enjoying great popularity, like a star among his classmates, receiving admiration from his former classmates and praise from his teachers.

The reason is simple: his grades were indeed good, and he also had a father who was the director of the local education bureau.

Here we must mention his award-winning essay, "My Bureau Chief Father," from his second year of high school, which won an award in the New Creative Writing Competition.

Its language is ornate and its writing is superb, captivating all who read it.

If there's one part of his fulfilling life that seems to have a slight regret...

It could only be Jiang Tang's sudden emergence.

Just how good are Jiang Tang's grades?

When Zhou Quan, still young and naive, was preparing to rely on his father's power to teach Jiang Tang a lesson.

He was the one who got a severe beating from his father.

Director Zhou exclaimed, “My son is… ah, ah, Jiang Tang is a top scholar! Not to mention the school, everyone in the city’s education department has to treat him like a treasure! You’re fighting over a woman? I’ll beat you to death!”

Zhou Quan thus avoided becoming the kind of spoiled brat character in typical urban novels who gets humiliated by the protagonist's feigned weakness.

But in reality... no one is a fool, and Zhou Quan is no exception. Because of An Qianxi, he and Jiang Tang are destined not to be friends. However, as the class monitor, he inevitably has some contact with him, so they can be considered nodding acquaintances.

So even when Jiang Tang got out of the car, his handsome suit made him stand out and steal all the attention that was originally his.

He could only keep his jealousy to himself, but on the surface he still had a smile on his face, and even took the initiative to get closer to Jiang Tang to welcome him, in a warm and natural manner.

"Jiang Tang, you've finally arrived!"

"We thought you'd forgotten about us old classmates after becoming the top scholar! We couldn't get you to come several times!"

"...I was busy before, sorry."

"It's alright, it's alright, let's go inside quickly. Teacher Liang is here too; you're the student he misses most!"

Mr. Liang was the homeroom teacher, and he truly regarded Jiang Tang as his pride, praising and indulging him greatly.

Jiang Tang skipped class several times, but he always managed to make a big deal out of it.

Jiang Tang is different from his classmates. His family situation is special... so he can't afford to host a big thank-you banquet for his teachers. Therefore, taking advantage of this class reunion is the best opportunity for him to express his gratitude to his teachers.

Jiang Tang was actually quite embarrassed by Zhou Quan's overly familiar behavior of putting his arm around her shoulder and leading her into the hotel.

As for why, everyone knows that Zhou Quan likes An Qianxi and dislikes Jiang Tang. It's just that everyone is mature and has high emotional intelligence, so they don't talk about it openly.

When this scene was witnessed by classmates who were not familiar with Jiang Tang and Zhou Quan, they thought he and Zhou Quan were very close friends.

It seems that the so-called "fake sisterhood" isn't just a problem among girls; the boys are no less so.

Just as Jiang Tang was feeling awkward, a voice rang out, which suddenly made him freeze in place.
