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

Jiang Tang spoke casually, as if sponsoring someone's education was just a trivial matter that could be done easily.

This time, Cheng Diemeng didn't hesitate and sent her bank card number, along with a detailed list of tuition and fees from the school.

It's a pretty good high school, a well-known public school in the province. Compared to the expensive tuition fees of private schools, its tuition is relatively low.

But Cheng Diemeng still couldn't afford it because she couldn't earn much money; her daily wages were only enough to pay rent and cover ordinary daily expenses.

Jiang Tang sent her enough money to cover her tuition for a year, which made Cheng Diemeng feel flattered.

Jiang Tang: The day after tomorrow, Monday, you should go to school and apologize to your teacher.

Jiang Tang: In the future... don't do such willful and foolish things. Compared to troubling us, you are the most troublesome one because you don't bother us.

Cheng Diemeng: ...Hmm.

Jiang Tang smiled upon seeing her reply.

Before she knew it, he had been in the living room for a long time, and dinner was ready. Liu Qingqing, who came out of the kitchen, had mixed feelings. She happened to catch a glimpse of Jiang Tang smiling at his phone, seemingly chatting with someone.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but Jiang Tang's smile at this moment was clearly a gentle and handsome smile that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

But this made Liu Qingqing frown, bite her lip, and almost blurt out sarcastic words.

She wanted to say that he was flirting with some woman again, that he was a liar who had deceived her aunt's feelings, a man from a poor background who had achieved success...

However, the promise she had just made to Liu Chuyun to get along harmoniously with him at home made Liu Qingqing ultimately suppress her temper, leaving only her sadness accumulating inside her with nowhere to vent.

But Jiang Tang noticed her, and noticed the fleeting hostility in her eyes.

So he asked with a smile that hadn't faded.

"What should you call me when you see me?"

"..."

"What should you call me when you see me?"

Jiang Tang caught a glimpse of Liu Qingqing, but seemed completely unfazed by the awkwardness that had just occurred, and smiled as he spoke to her.

"..."

Liu Qingqing froze.

Wearing an apron, Liu Chuyun came out from behind carrying the dishes. Her face was no longer as red as when she was with Jiang Tang, but when she heard Jiang Tang's words and saw his relaxed and carefree manner as he sat on the sofa in his own home, she couldn't help but blush even more.

She was a little worried about the relationship between Jiang Tang and Liu Qingqing.

Just now in the kitchen, after letting Liu Qingqing vent her many sad feelings, she began a long period of persuasion and counseling, which was of course done while preparing dinner for Jiang Tang.

Fortunately, Liu Qingqing wasn't the kind of girl who was completely unyielding.

Or rather, in her mind, Liu Chuyun was a very important, even the most important, person.

Therefore, she was willing to compromise for Liu Chuyun.

What's done is done. Her adoptive mother has fallen for a man like Jiang Tang, so what can she change? She can only accept this helpless reality...

Feelings are such irrational things.

No matter how shameless and carefree Liu Chuyun and Jiang Tang's daily lives are behind my back, it's not something I, as an outsider, can change.

Although it was a pleasure for them, for Liu Qingqing it was like the world collapsing before her eyes, revealing a realistic and broken corner of reality.

Liu Chuyun brought the dishes from the kitchen one by one and placed them on the dining table. Then she ran up behind Liu Qingqing and gently stroked her back with her right hand to comfort her, but her eyes were on Jiang Tang.

It has to be said that, from Jiang Tang's perspective, Liu Chuyun and Liu Qingqing really do look like mother and daughter...

Because of their close blood relationship, Liu Qingqing is the daughter of Liu Chuyun's older sister.

Not to mention that after so many years of getting along, Liu Qingqing has long been marked by Liu Chuyun. Whether it is clothing, makeup, or many other aspects of life and habits, Liu Qingqing will unconsciously gravitate towards Liu Chuyun, eventually creating a situation where the two appear on screen like a real mother and daughter.

"Qingqing, you must be polite," Liu Chuyun gently reminded her.

"..."

Liu Qingqing bit her lip tightly, causing the corners of her lips to turn crimson, and her expression became blank.

In the end, she chose a name that didn't seem so bad, but was actually quite terrible.

"……uncle?"

She gave in and addressed the boy, who was a year younger than her, with a respectful title.

"Pfft."

Jiang Tang laughed without any mercy, saying, "What do you mean, 'uncle'?"

However, it was indeed a novel experience and quite interesting. Looking at Liu Qingqing's flushed face, Jiang Tang almost mischievously looked forward to the interesting experiences she would bring him in the future.

“Isn’t that right!” Liu Qingqing blushed immediately upon hearing Jiang Tang’s sneer and clenched her skirt in response.

"You don't mean to... you want me to call you Dad, do you?"

Her tone was unusually ashamed and indignant.

Liu Chuyun, who was beside her, quickly stroked her hair to comfort her.

Actually, she didn't know what Liu Qingqing should call Jiang Tang, so she looked at Jiang Tang with a rather helpless gaze.

Jiang Tang smiled slightly.

"It's not exactly wrong, but if you want to call me 'Dad,' I won't object."

"Jiang Tang." Liu Chuyun called out his name, with a hint of wanting to stop his bad intentions.

Jiang Tang, of course, would not ignore his woman's opinion, and immediately nodded, speaking in a gentler tone.

"I was just joking. You can just call me Jiang Tang."

"Just as Chu Yun said, we should get along well from now on."

It's unclear whether Jiang Tang's words had a deeper meaning or were merely what they seemed on the surface.

Liu Qingqing pursed her lips, still looking dissatisfied, but since Jiang Tang had also chosen to back down, she couldn't let her aunt continue to be troubled.

"...Yes, you can also call me Liu Qingqing."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the dining table. Originally, she wanted to leave Liu Chuyun's house because she felt that staying here would only make her an annoying and glaring third wheel.

However, Liu Chuyun persuaded her to stay.

Liu Chuyun seemed to want this meal to be a chance for Jiang Tang and Liu Qingqing to reconcile, or at least a beginning, a beginning for them to be able to spend time together.

She was caught in the middle of the two, and was the one who suffered the most, constantly trying her best to reconcile their relationship.

Jiang Tang was aware of this, so he was willing to compromise for Liu Chuyun's sake and temporarily get along with this naive girl, Liu Qingqing, for a while.

Seeing Liu Qingqing turn and leave, Liu Chuyun breathed a sigh of relief. Then, blushing, as if she had something to say to Jiang Tang, she ran to Jiang Tang's side, only to be pulled into his arms without hesitation.

"She's such a nuisance. If it weren't for her, we might have had a 'feast' before dinner even started."

Jiang Tang murmured complaints, like a child yearning for his mother's embrace, burying his cheeks in it.

"……sorry."

Liu Chuyun apologized to Jiang Tang again.

She hugged Jiang Tang tightly, thrusting her chest forward and offering it to his lips, hoping to win his forgiveness in this way.

But when he saw Jiang Tang's slightly cold gaze, he fell silent.

“You apologized a lot today, to me and to Liu Qingqing, but have you ever thought about it—you didn’t do anything wrong from beginning to end?”

"What did I do wrong this time? She barged in and started yelling at me."

"We're both innocent. It was her who ruined our time together, wasn't it?"

Liu Chuyun's eyes reddened, and she closed them with a hint of pain, taking deep breaths in and out, her voice sounding somewhat hoarse for a moment.

"...Stop talking, Jiang Tang. I'm sorry, I apologize on her behalf. Let's finish this meal properly, and she'll leave..."

"After Qingqing leaves, I will make it up to you properly. Whatever you want, whatever you want me to do... I will give it to you and do it. I will make it up to you properly."

"Sigh..." Jiang Tang sighed softly.

He looked up and gestured to Liu Chuyun with his eyes.

Liu Chuyun immediately understood, her blush deepening. Like a swan, she lowered her elegant, snow-white neck and gently pecked at Jiang Tang's lips.

The two kissed for a while, seemingly immersed in a sweet and gentle love, silent and beautiful.

After the kiss ended, Jiang Tang patted Liu Chuyun's bottom with satisfaction, signaling her to get up.

Liu Chuyun, her face flushed, nodded and stood up. She whispered to Jiang Tang, asking if she could put on her clothes and dress before eating...

She hoped she could send Liu Qingqing off with dignity.

Jiang Tang nodded, and Liu Chuyun seemed to have received a great favor, so she hurriedly and happily ran to her room to change her clothes.

Jiang Tang walked over to the table where all the dishes and utensils had been laid out, and saw Liu Qingqing wearing headphones and using her phone.

Out of sight, out of mind, so she turned her back to the two of them.

With headphones on, I couldn't even hear any sound.

She thought that by doing this she could ignore everything, escape everything, and maintain a peaceful life.

But little did she know that boundless imagination is the most terrifying thing. The things Jiang Tang and Liu Chuyun did behind her back, those little gestures of affection, were not even as good as what she imagined in her heart.

So while she was pretending to look at her phone, she was actually fantasizing about some incredible scenarios, which made her blush.

Just then, Jiang Tang gently patted her shoulder, which immediately triggered Liu Qingqing's scream.

"Ah, I... I can't do it!"

"Huh?" Jiang Tang looked puzzled.

"I just came to ask you how much rice you want, and I'll get you some more."

Jiang Tang likes Liu Chuyun very much, so he is willing to make changes for her. At least in front of her, he will take the initiative to get along harmoniously with Liu Qingqing.

Liu Qingqing took off her headphones and looked back at Jiang Tang with a panicked expression, only to find that he had really just taken a bowl and asked her how much rice she wanted.

"...half, half a bowl is enough."
