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

Jiang Tang reached out and grabbed the rings quite naturally, but for Cheng Diemeng, who was rather short, it was a height that could only be reached by jumping lightly.

Therefore, Jiang Tang said softly.

"Grab my clothes."

"...Yes!"

It was a very ordinary action, yet it made Cheng Diemeng's heart race and pound.

Three stops away from Tianfu University Station, when the subway stopped, Cheng Diemeng was lost in thought, causing her to stumble and almost fall, exclaiming in surprise.

"Ooh!"

Jiang Tang caught her quickly, and inevitably she fell into his arms.

A warm, comforting embrace.

You can vaguely feel Jiang Tang's strong abdominal muscles.

"..."

"Focus your attention, what are you thinking about?"

It turned out that Jiang Tang had discovered what Cheng Diemeng had been overthinking.

He didn't use his phone on the subway; he kept watching Cheng Diemeng's expressions and reactions because he found them very amusing.

I feel like she's the kind of girl who blushes at the slightest poke. If she had a tail, it would be wagging happily right now.

Because they stay by your side.

In fact, Jiang Tang had been pondering whether Cheng Diemeng should be considered a dog or a cat if she were a pet.

But now, he has the answer: a cat with a dog-like personality!

Because Cheng Diemeng's figure and other aspects are like a pitiful little kitten, but her personality is not much different from that of a dog.

In Jiang Tang's eyes, she was a very special...pet girl.

At that moment, the pet girl was slowly recovering from her shock when she realized who had put her in someone's arms.

My feelings at that time were indescribable, and I was even speechless.

But then Jiang Tang let go of her hand, as if nothing had happened, and continued to wait for the subway to arrive.

Cheng Diemeng gradually calmed down.

She still clung to Jiang Tang's clothes, even secretly hoping that the subway ride would never end.

Next stop, Tianfu University Station.

Jiang Tang said softly.

"arrive."

Cheng Diemeng nodded and walked out with him.

The surging crowd must have been a terrifying scene for Cheng Diemeng, who was not good at dealing with such situations and could even be described as somewhat socially anxious.

However, because Jiang Tang was right beside her, Cheng Diemeng was not afraid.

Once inside the elevator, the view changed from dim to open.

The two arrived on the ground. Cheng Diemeng raised her eyes and blinked as if waking from a dream.

She opened her mouth slightly, as if in amazement.

The bright sunlight shone on her shoulders. Around her were bustling crowds and shops, with cars and people coming and going. In the open view, the huge gate of the university stood tall, with countless lively young men and women walking together, just like herself and Jiang Tang.

Is this your first time here?

"……Um."

"Then stay close to me, don't get lost."

"No, no..."

Feeling like she was being treated like a child who needed to be taken care of, Cheng Diemeng felt extremely ashamed.

But what Jiang Tang didn't know was...

Her gaze had actually been following Jiang Tang the whole time.

So unless they are deliberately abandoned, they will never get lost.

She... will never lose her.

194 Drain me dry

While Jiang Tang and Cheng Diemeng were riding the subway, Shi Xue was also busy.

She was shopping for ingredients for lunch at a convenience store near the school. Although her family had become much wealthier recently, she still made sure to buy groceries with discounts whenever possible.

As a result, she often ran into her neighbor, Ye Rulan, who was also looking for good value for money, in front of the cheap and affordable food section.

At first, the two of them bought their own things separately. However, because they had met awkwardly in the hallway last time, Ye Rulan witnessed Shi Xue and Jiang Tang kissing.

That had a huge psychological impact on her, who had been single since birth. It would be impossible for her not to feel a little envious.

But after meeting so many times, one of them finally couldn't hold back and took the initiative to strike up a conversation. It was Shixue, who had always wanted to get along well with her neighbor's older sister.

Although Ye Rulan was surprised, she still responded politely.

When they met again later, they were able to communicate normally.

Over time, the two even became friends who could chat easily.

Of course, this did not change Ye Rulan's negative impression of Jiang Tang. She thought he was a womanizer, but unfortunately, he had a good girl like Shi Xue who liked him.

Because Ye Rulan often noticed that Jiang Tang didn't come home at night, while Shi Xue never did.

She always waited patiently and quietly for Jiang Tang's return at home, buying groceries and cleaning the house. There was always a door open for Jiang Tang and a light on for him.

"Why did you buy so much today, Shixue?" Ye Rulan took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Shixue. She was carrying a discounted pork bone, which still had a lot of lean meat attached to it. She felt she had gotten a good deal.

In Shi Xue's shopping basket, there were many different kinds of vegetables and some seasonings that she had run out of at home.

"Because we have guests coming over. Where did you buy these bones? They look really good."

"I'll take you there, it's over there, they're having a special sale!"

In the end, Shixue also returned home with a full basket of shopping bags. The two chatted and laughed as they carried their shopping baskets to the checkout.

Once they arrived at each other's homes, Shixue said goodbye to Ye Rulan.

"School's started, Sister Rulan, you have to do your best!" Shixue said with a smile.

"Ah...yes, I will."

But what Shi Xue didn't know was that Ye Rulan, as a teacher, didn't need to participate in military training, so she still had some time to rest.

It seems that Jiang Tang and Shi Xue still regard the girl living across the street as their student, but who would know that she is already a teacher in the Department of Genetic Engineering at such a young age?

People are often misled by their first impressions of others.

Therefore, humans are intelligent beings, yet they are also misled by their own intelligence.

Back home, Shixue began her busy work as a cook.

Tie on the apron filled with memories of its owner, and start washing vegetables and chopping meat~

She didn't know how much time had passed, but Shi Xue was engrossed in humming a song while cooking.

Suddenly, the sound of a key entering the lock and clicking open the door's safety mechanism came from the doorway.

The girl suddenly looked up, her eyes revealing surprise.

Who else could open the door to someone's house?

It's her master, Jiang Tang, who's back!

Perhaps Xiaomeng is also with her!

Jiang Tang sent a message to Shi Xue saying that he would pick up Cheng Diemeng.

"Coming!" Shi Xue called from the kitchen, not forgetting to turn off the stove and wiping the water off her hands with a tissue as she went out to greet them.

Sure enough, Jiang Tang and Cheng Diemeng were seen changing their shoes at the door.

Without hesitation, Shi Xue rushed towards Cheng Diemeng and hugged her tightly, despite her soft and petite frame.

"Xiao Meng! Long time no see!"

"Sister Shixue..."

Cheng Diemeng's nose suddenly felt a little sore. Sister Shixue was still the same Sister Shixue as before...

The girl who briefly illuminated the dark sky she had once walked through.

For this reason, Cheng Diemeng in the past stubbornly regarded Shixue as her only, her only friend...

The result cannot be described as either bad or good.

Her connection with Jiang Tang began precisely because of this.

Jiang Tang was... initially, Cheng Diemeng thought he was a very scary and terrifying person.

He was basically the type of villain who made her entire life bleak and hopeless.

But who would have thought that it was just a false facade of Brother Jiang Tang, and the real him... offered Cheng Diemeng redemption through another path.

Moreover, unlike Sister Shixue, whose life was briefly shrouded in darkness.

Jiang Tang gave Cheng Diemeng a different kind of night, which could perhaps be called a "white night".

From then on, Cheng Diemeng became a person who walked in the white night, with a sunbeam overhead that illuminated the darkness as if it were daytime.

"Hey, your master hasn't seen Shixue in a long time either, he misses her terribly."

Jiang Tang shook his head and said jokingly with a helpless expression.

"Hmph, Master must be having such a good time outside that he's forgotten all about home!"

Shi Xue held Xiao Meng in her arms, looking at Jiang Tang with a slightly coquettish expression, but ultimately, she just wanted her master to look at her more.

"No, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body if I don't see Shixue for a day."
