Her tone suddenly softened, becoming hazy and weak.

"Jiang Jiang... is that what you said?"

Before Mu Yunyi could respond, Mu Yuqing took the collar that Mu Yunyi had been clutching tightly in her hand.

Her eyes were filled with a tenderness and submissiveness that Mu Yunyi had never seen before in his life.

Then... she put that choker on herself.

Or perhaps, this was always hers, something that was meant to be attached to her...

"Yunyi... do I look beautiful like this, sister?"

She took her own "reins" as if handing them over to someone, her gaze unfocused and lowered, falling into Mu Yunyi's eyes, leaving her speechless.

After a long while, Mu Yuqing shook her head, feeling bored.

She got up and rose from her younger sister Mu Yunyi's body.

She left and walked towards her bedroom—with a "bang," followed by a "click" as the door was locked from the inside.

She entered a world where only she and... her master existed.

She needs to start reflecting on her actions.

018 Zhou Zhitu

After leaving the Mu family, Jiang Tang went to the bar alone.

The bar is called "Ten Miles of Spring Breeze".

It's a quiet bar where you only drink, not dance. Under the dim, ambiguous lighting, countless cold yet affectionate nights are reflected.

Jiang Tang ordered his favorite drink, "Salt Tea Boy," a cocktail with a strange name that was instantly captivating.

The salt is sea salt, pale blue and rose-colored. When it clings to the rim of the glass, a gentle sip reveals a stimulating, almost sweet saltiness. This saltiness, combined with the clear yet murky, layered, bitter tea-like coolness of the liquor, is like the tide on a lonely night, washing over the toes and ankles of a boy watching the sea.

It leaves behind sand and seawater that is as bitter and salty as tears.

He simply sat there, not saying a word, and that was the best sight in the entire bar.

It surpasses the marble European-style reliefs, surpasses the bartenders in their suits, surpasses all beauties, surpasses all dazzling colors.

Even in a quiet bar like this, women would approach him shyly and bashfully, asking him about his friends, or even boldly tugging at his tie and flirting with him.

Jiang Tang remained elegant and composed, blinking her clear, innocent eyes as she smiled at each of her older sisters, and even her "younger sisters."

I exchanged my contact information with them, and then continued to sip my wine.

The card next to the glass said that Jiang Tang was a platinum member of this bar, which meant he was a regular customer.

And he seemed to have no skill in saying no, a thought that popped into the women's minds simultaneously, each of them feeling a stirring of desire.

Even men have to admit that a man like Jiang Tang deserves to be surrounded by beautiful women.

About an hour later, Jiang Tang finished his drink, got up to make an appointment, and left. He went to the blond bartender in a suit and tie, still with that charming smile.

Zhang Cheng was the bartender's name. He winked and smiled at each other, their profiles shrouded in the dim shadows in front of the bar.

Zhang Cheng slowly pulled out a list.

"These are the drinks your guests ordered for you today. According to your commission, you can take two thousand yuan. Or, as usual, can you leave them here?"

"Yes, everything is as usual. Is the landlady not here today?"

"Heh, you little rascal, you've got your eye on our boss's wife too?"

"But seriously, with your looks and skills at seducing women, you could have easily won over the boss's wife. Why would you need to come here as a bar girl and drink for an hour like that? I might be calling you boss tomorrow!"

"Because I enjoy wine tasting, making money... is just going with the flow."

"So you really are just a rich kid who's out experiencing life, huh?"

Zhang Cheng voiced his long-held question, only to receive a calm smile from Jiang Tang, with no response.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Zhang Cheng suddenly called out to him again.

"Jiang Tang, I almost forgot, the landlady recently got two concert tickets, but she didn't have time to go, so she asked me to bring them to you!"

"How about we go together sometime? It's tickets to Qiu Lengyan's concert, the eternal goddess of the entertainment industry!"

"If you sell this to scalpers, you could make a little over ten thousand yuan!"

Jiang Tang raised an eyebrow, turned around, and returned to the front of the wine table.

But he snatched the two concert tickets from Zhang Cheng's hand and smiled with a hint of surprise.

"Please thank the landlady for me. I have an appointment with someone."

"What about me!" Zhang Cheng's face twisted into a grimace.

"Go find your guitar-playing sister!"

"Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about... We just broke up."

"Ah, this..."

Jiang Tang was a little speechless. He turned his back, waved, and the two concert tickets swayed in the wind. Goodbye.

He wants to go to the concert with his cute, obedient, gentle and virtuous maid, Shixue!

This is what is meant by "passing through a sea of ​​flowers without a single petal clinging to you."

The women in the bar were all adding him on his alternate account.

With so many urban beauties added, this alternate account could probably fetch a fortune if sold to a micro-business owner in the future.

My main account has very few friends, including Shi Xue and An Qianxi (who have been deleted).

And... Zhou Zhitu.

I haven't contacted her in a long time. Even at class reunions, I was only focused on An Qianxi, who was beside me.

After the college entrance examination, the relationship between the two seemed to break like a kite with its string cut, or perhaps they were just duckweed that had touched each other unknowingly in the flowing water, and would eventually drift further and further apart.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Tang put down his finger that was about to touch the "delete" option.

I plan to wait until after the college entrance exam results are released to at least ask her about her scores and future school choices.

Say goodbye to her again...

Zhou Zhitu is the only woman who has discovered her "rental couple" relationship with An Qianxi, and she is also the woman who entered high school three years ago with the highest score in the city.

Jiangtang ranks second in the city.

It seems that the two of them attended the same junior high school. Because that junior high school produced two top students in the city, its enrollment took off like a rocket in Wuhu.

Even now, in high school, Jiang Tang can still see many alumni from that junior high school coming to visit him, his senior.

There were quite a few girls among them, but their true intentions were not what they seemed.

These days, all the female elementary school girls are lusting after the upperclassmen, which is really a headache.

But the words came back again.

They attended the same junior high school and started school in the same year.

Why is it that after three whole years of junior high school, Jiang Tang can't recall even a single memory of Zhou Zhitu?

&

Not long after leaving the bar, a girl who had also ordered a "Salt Tea Boy" paid the bill and went out.

At the end of her gaze was the boy's back as he was about to disappear around the street corner.

Even with her eyes closed, she could guess where the boy would go next, and the route he had taken home hundreds of times would appear in her mind.

Arrive at the nearest subway station, enter the subway, take Line 3 for six stops, transfer to Line 7 for one stop, get off at your destination, and walk for twenty minutes to reach that small residential building.

On the fifth floor of the residential building, the small apartment on the left is his and his maid's rented room. It's a 30-square-meter room, and the rent is 700 yuan a month. The landlord is a middle-aged man who lives in a community on the second ring road of the city. He has a wife and two daughters.

She opened her eyes, revealing a smile that, under the moonlight and shadows, displayed a strange and peculiar quality. In daylight, such a smile could only be described as warm and serene.

She had excellent control over her micro-expressions, like a specially trained secret agent.

The life story of that person, which I have been recording for six years, plays in my mind day and night.

His entire home is covered with candid photos taken over six years, capturing his every smile and gesture, from boyhood to manhood.

She had long regarded it as her one and only.

But Jiang Tang... why did you go behind people's backs to get a genetic match?

019 The Maid Awaiting Her Master

Exhausted, I returned home when the moon was high in the sky.

Shi Xue's painting equipment won't arrive at the nearest Cainiao Station until tomorrow. From then on, she can stay at home and do the work she loves.

Jiang Tang is looking forward to his maid becoming a painter that people can be proud of.

As for today, I gave her a proper talking-to, telling her to relax and not be so busy, thinking about work or making money to support herself.

When I returned to the rented room, it was spotless and clean, without a speck of dirt or dust. It was like a newly renovated little nest.

With the sound of flushing water still echoing in his ears from the cramped bathroom, Jiang Tang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

He sat on the low mattress in a habitually contemplative posture, yet with an elegant and noble air, much like a prince from the slums, silently waiting for Shixue to emerge from her fragrant bath.

About ten minutes later, the bathroom door opened, and Shi Xue, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out nervously, fidgeting with her fingers and keeping her head down.

She heard the noise at the door and knew that her master had returned.

Compared to girls her age, Shixue's shower time was not long, about twenty-five minutes.

Even slightly clean guys can stay in the bathroom for half an hour.

However, in order to save on water and electricity bills, Shixue minimized the time spent on meaningless showers, as long as she could clean her body and hair, there was no problem.

The bath towel seemed a bit too short, or perhaps her figure had broken through certain narrow limitations.

In short, it's a very exciting scene.

It tries to cover up a certain area, but it's so full it seems about to burst out.
