All the goddesses in the world are lusting after my body.

Liu Chuyun turned her gaze back to Jiang Tang, this time focusing on his arms and lap, the meaning of which was obvious.

But Jiang Tang's expression was too cold at the moment, and Liu Chuyun understood what he meant, so she could only helplessly say in a coquettish voice.

"Can't I even just think about it?"

After she finished speaking, she sat down next to Shixue, as there happened to be an empty seat there.

The boiling hot pot brought the atmosphere back to life. Liu Chuyun was a very honest woman; she really meant it when she said she was there to freeload. She picked up a piece of tripe dipped in hot, spicy red oil and quickly put it in her mouth, then showed a satisfied expression.

In a sense, Liu Chuyun, as the owner of this hot pot restaurant, also enjoys the food here, which proves that the restaurant's ingredients are clean and hygienic... cough cough, it seems I shouldn't use this sentence, as it easily evokes the complete opposite meaning. It should be said that the ingredients are clean and fresh, which is reassuring.

During this time, Liu Chuyun fully utilized her approachable nature as an older sister, chatting happily with Lilith, including Minamoto Shiki and Miyamoto Mai.

They're practically inseparable, but whether they're truly kindred spirits or just superficial friends, Jiang Tang has no idea.

After finishing the hot pot, Jiang Tang subconsciously wanted to go to the cashier to pay the bill.

But then he suddenly remembered that the landlady was right in front of him, so he looked into Liu Chuyun's eyes and whispered something that even he found amusing.

"Check, please."

"Here you are~" Liu Chuyun did not generously waive Jiang Tang's bill as the other girls present had guessed.

Instead, she stood up from her seat and gracefully walked to Jiang Tang's side, whispering something in his ear.

Then we saw that Jiang Tang's expression was a bit strange.

But after some hesitation, he nodded.

"Okay~ consider it paid. I have something to do, so I'll be going now. You can continue to enjoy your youth with your young girls."

"Is Sister Liu leaving?" Miyamoto Maizo asked blankly. If others might be considered fake friends with Liu Chuyun, then this honest girl would probably treat her with sincerity very easily.

"Of course, the adult world is very busy."

Liu Chuyun also glanced tenderly at Miyamoto Maizo; she was very accurate at recognizing people.

As a fragrant breeze wafted by, Liu Chuyun had already left as she had arrived, and Jiang Tang and the girls were preparing to take a taxi back to school.

Their campus life, which began with this hotpot meal, has just begun.

181 First Taste of Crispy Peach

Jiang Tang's weekend was already packed with activities even before it started.

Sure enough, after the holiday ended, busyness replaced the usual leisure and became the main theme of study and life.

Saturday is the deadline for his Galgame commercial manuscript. This interesting story and the exquisite CG illustrations drawn by Jiang Tang should be presented to Chinese netizens soon, eliciting their tears and... possibly another kind of "tears".

While it's highly unlikely that it will be available through legitimate domestic channels, its impact could be widespread.

Currently in China, there don't seem to be any companies that specialize in making adult visual novels (Galgames) for ages 18 and up. Instead, it's mostly individuals or studios creating them out of passion, which leads to a wide range of quality.

Therefore, in this situation, the first person to try something new has a profound impact.

Just as audiences still remember Brother Cheng with the Crack Knife from back then, of course, this doesn't mean that the work Jiang Tang participated in producing will be as infamous as Brother Cheng with the Crack Knife...

However, if this industry truly flourishes in the future, Jiang Tang will become a heavyweight in the industry's history.

But that was a long time ago; Jiang Tang has always preferred to seize the present.

He meant to finish drawing quickly, and then teach Luo Qianyu, that "perverted loli" who took on so many orders, a lesson!

Jiang Tang estimates that if they work overtime, they should be able to finish everything by Saturday evening.

This way, he wouldn't miss the opportunity to go to Liu Chuyun's house on Saturday night for a simple home-cooked meal, which would be the price for paying the bill at the hot pot restaurant.

Even the last Sunday wouldn't be a quiet day. Jiang Tang had to accompany Shi Xue to her teacher's house, to that spacious villa to enjoy games—no, it should be said that he was helping Luo Qianyu catch up on the progress of the next comic. Simply put, he was making Shi Xue and Jiang Tang Luo Qianyu's assistants to help her create a new comic.

To put it simply, Jiang Tang and Shi Xue were "taken advantage of"!

Or perhaps it shouldn't be called "freeloading," because what Luo Qianyu truly rewarded Shi Xue with was something unseen and intangible.

This includes more professional methods and experience in completing a comic book, familiarity with the publishing process, and connections with the editorial department of a comic book company.

The value of these intangible assets would make any comic book professional extremely envious.

Shi Xue, on the other hand, can obtain these things with only simple and not so strenuous work, which is truly enviable.

It can be said that Luo Qianyu truly treated Shixue with all his heart.

Whether Jiang Tang was involved is unknown. The memories of that magical house will remain sealed in each other's hearts for a long time, and even if they meet, they can only understand each other implicitly.

Shi Xue herself understood this, so she was extremely grateful to Teacher Qian Yu.

Therefore, Shi Xue's ability to get what she wants cannot be considered "getting something for free".

Jiang Tang was the only one who truly got "freebies".

Sure enough, Jiang Tang thought with annoyance that he still needed to teach this "perverted little girl" a lesson.

In addition, during her conversation with Shi Xue, Luo Qianyu also revealed her high expectations for Jiang Tang. The two of them agreed that it would be a great loss to the comic book industry if Jiang Tang didn't go into comics.

At the same time, what Luo Qianyu didn't tell Shi Xue was that she also believed that if Jiang Tang didn't draw adult comics, it would be a great loss to the adult comic industry!

She only realized later that the CG illustration order for the visual novel she had taken on was not innocent; on the contrary, the content was unusually bold and seductive...

To think that he had actually asked his innocent apprentice to draw something like this, and that Shi Xue had reluctantly taken on the task because it was her teacher's assignment...

Luo Qianyu's heart was filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest... no, no, it was filled with immense guilt!

She also hurriedly contacted Shixue to ask if she wanted to give up. She would explain to the company that she would handle the situation, even though breaching the contract might cause Luo Qianyu to lose a considerable amount of money.

But more than the money, she cared about Shixue and Jiang Tang's feelings.

While showing a pained expression, Luo Qianyu waited for Shi Xue's reply.

She later learned from Shi Xue that she had entrusted this matter to Jiang Tang, and then she even got a sneak peek at Jiang Tang's meticulously drawn "masterpiece" through a message sent by Shi Xue...

Luo Qianyu's guilt vanished without a trace on the spot.

Jiang Tang: You should at least feel a little bit guilty...

Instead, there was the pleasant surprise of discovering a "talent in the world of erotic art".

Rather than saying that Luo Qianyu hoped Jiang Tang would enter the comic book industry, it would be more accurate to say that Luo Qianyu had a deeper and more secretive expectation for him, hoping that he could become a leading figure among domestic artists who ventured into the comic book industry.

With his strength, he will certainly be able to go further and into a wider world than his own Black Feather.

As long as we can get to that place! Then...

But Jiang Tang's response was undoubtedly a rejection.

He didn't want to do such a troublesome thing.

And... drawing a lewd picture can actually be described as so exciting?

Jiang Tang: "More than what you've said, I'm curious about when Mr. Kuroba's next work will be available on some weird website."

Luo Qianyu: "Ahem... I'm doing it, I'm doing it."

So she was energetic when she was urging Jiang Tang on, but immediately went limp when it came to her own turn.

Slacking off and procrastination are common problems for every comic book professional.

Jiang Tang didn't care about Luo Qianyu's reply.

Anyway, when he goes to Luo Qianyu's house, he can urge her to update the story on the spot, doing what many readers dream of.

Right now, he's busy rushing to finish his drawings.

What do top-scoring students do on their first day after enrolling in university?

Others might not know, but Jiang Tang was actually drawing erotic pictures!

Shi Xue wanted to help, but her brushstrokes were clearly different from Jiang Tang's, so she could only do some simple outlining or coloring.

Time continued to pass, and light streamed through the window, illuminating the girl's face and making her appear even more beautiful than a painting.

Jiang Tang glanced at her, his face slightly flushed, then shook his head as if trying to suppress some thoughts or bold ideas, before resuming his tedious work.

But Shi Xue noticed her master's gaze, and with her eyes darting around and her face flushed, she pretended to be talking to herself and muttered something.

"...Can this approach really win favor?"

"..."

Jiang Tang knew that Shi Xue was referring to the actions depicted in the painting, a scene of public welfare that was generally well-received.

In the composition, the female protagonist in the game is kneeling on the ground, offering her soft and full breasts to the main character...

Shi Xue's reminder made Jiang Tang suddenly recall it.

It seems that from the past to the present, although Jiang Tang and Shi Xue have long been in a close and inseparable relationship, they have never actually tried to satisfy each other in this way.

This is a common practice among most couples, provided that the woman's breasts are soft and full enough.

Shi Xue undoubtedly meets this requirement, and can even be said to be top-notch. Even though Jiang Tang has depicted the female protagonist in the painting as exceptionally voluptuous, she is still worlds apart from the real Shi Xue with her clothes off.

Therefore, the reason why Jiang Tang never had such an experience with Shi Xue, or even tried any more romantic methods, ultimately boils down to two words: "respect".

Shi Xue is an irreplaceable and special person in Jiang Tang's heart. It's not that this makes Jiang Tang feel any pressure in front of Shi Xue.

The master and servant always got along easily and naturally, as if they had become necessities in each other's lives.

But that's precisely why you're used to using chopsticks when eating, and you won't use a knife and fork.

Both Liu Chuyun and Shixue were women who could endlessly tolerate his willfulness, but only with Liu Chuyun was Jiang Tang willing to be willful in front of her. Under her doting gaze, Jiang Tang could freely do many things.

But in front of Shi Xue, Jiang Tang hoped that she could do many things as she pleased, and be a little more... dependent on herself, like a normal girl, acting coquettishly towards him, or even getting angry with him.

But Shi Xue wouldn't do that, so Jiang Tang had to compensate her in other ways, with more gentleness and more restraint.

Shi Xue's eyebrows and eyes were beautiful. She stared blankly at the painting on the easel in front of her master, lost in thought. Her cheeks grew increasingly rosy, as if winter had melted and peach blossoms were in full bloom, with soft petals glistening with dew.

Jiang Tang kept painting, using this method to relieve his tension.

Indeed, quite unexpectedly and unusually, Jiang Tang couldn't help but feel nervous and uneasy in front of Shi Xue.

Until Shi Xue finished speaking, she finally took this step, the step that Jiang Tang had been waiting for.

"I...I want to try."

Jiang Tang's stylus hovered in the air, his heart began to race, accelerated by Shi Xue's words.

"Is it alright... Master?"
