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

"You're saying strange things again!" Shi Xue blushed, especially since she was in front of Cheng Diemeng.

She closed the door and welcomed the two in, then walked briskly back to the kitchen.

"Master, please sit with Xiaomeng in the living room for a while. Dinner will be ready soon~"

"Um, do you need my help?"

"no, I'm fine!"

So Jiang Tang and Cheng Diemeng obediently sat down in the living room.

Cheng Diemeng looked around Jiang Tang and Shi Xue's new home with great envy. Although the contrast was stark, all she felt was her blessing for Sister Shi Xue and Brother Jiang Tang.

She carefully sat down on the sofa, the overly soft touch making her gasp. Her small bottom sank in, forming the shape of a tender peach.

What would you like to drink?

"No, no need..."

"Okay, then let's have juice," Jiang Tang suggested to Cheng Diemeng.

The latter lowered his head, his eyes reflecting his slightly inward-turned knees and feet, and his gaze softened instantly.

"Thanks……"

Jiang Tang knew that Cheng Diemeng refused only because she was afraid of causing trouble for herself and Shixue.

Her inferiority complex will be difficult to correct in a short time, but Jiang Tang's care is meticulous.

Jiang Tang took out several bottles of drinks from the refrigerator and handed one of them, orange-flavored Mirinda, to Cheng Diemeng.

Hmm... in a sense, this should also be considered juice, right?

Anyway, Cheng Diemeng didn't say anything.

Holding the slightly cool Mirinda bottle in her hands, Cheng Diemeng's breathing gradually calmed down.

As usual, Jiang Tang lay comfortably on the sofa looking at his phone, occasionally glancing up at Cheng Diemeng, who was quiet and seemingly lost in thought.

She really is like a cat. You can leave her next to you for a long time without her having any complaints. Instead, she seems quite content with it.

Like a domesticated pet cat, it can quietly stay in bed and remain silent all day long.

The atmosphere between the two was quiet and natural until Shixue coughed softly as she walked out of the kitchen door and called out.

"Dinner's ready, Master! Come help serve the dishes!"

"I'm here," Jiang Tang replied, putting down his phone.

Cheng Diemeng also stood up somewhat nervously, looking like she wanted to speak but hesitated. She wondered if she should help as well.

As Jiang Tang passed by her, he touched her hair. Because it felt so natural, he also pinched her ears and cheeks.

"You're helping out by sitting at the table."

"……Um."

Cheng Diemeng blushed and nodded.

Shi Xue should know Cheng Diemeng's eating habits, after all, the two were former colleagues at the maid shop.

Thinking this, Jiang Tang entered the kitchen, and sure enough, the lunch was only "bland" for him.

Cheng Diemeng prefers sweeter foods and vegetables, while Jiang Tang loves spicy food and meat.

Seemingly noticing a hint of helplessness in her master's eyes, Shi Xue smiled and looked at Jiang Tang.

"How could I not remember my master! Look!"

She proudly displayed a bowl of carefully prepared dipping sauce behind her, a special version made by the maid and reserved for her master, Jiang Tang.

With dipping sauce, even the blandest food becomes flavorful.

Jiang Tang immediately beamed with joy.

Together with Shixue, he brought out all the food from the kitchen, making the dining table much more abundant.

Cheng Diemeng's eyes widened slightly. It must have been a long time since she had enjoyed such a sumptuous meal.

"Xiao Meng, come and try Sister Shi Xue's cooking!"

Shi Xue finally finished her work and sat down at the table, not forgetting to call out to Cheng Diemeng.

"Yes, don't be shy, just make yourself at home."

Jiang Tang also spoke in a gentle voice.

"Yes Yes."

Cheng Diemeng sniffed and quickly nodded in agreement.

Jiang Tang doesn't like to talk much while eating, so at the table, only Shi Xue and Cheng Diemeng are very enthusiastic, asking each other all sorts of questions.

Ask her how she's been lately, if there's anything she can help with, and how everyone at the maid cafe is doing.

Cheng Diemeng was overwhelmed with questions, but she couldn't lie, so she told everyone that she hadn't been going to school recently and that Jiang Tang had sponsored her with money.

Shi Xue's gaze sharpened, and when she looked at Jiang Tang again, the latter pretended to be "buried in his food and ignoring everything."

"Master, how much money did you give Xiaomeng?"

Upon hearing Sister Shixue's words, Cheng Diemeng immediately realized something and her face turned pale.

So Sister Shixue didn't know that Brother Jiang Tang had helped her!

This raises a big question: Jiang Tang might have been secretly funding himself without Shi Xue's consent.

If Sister Shixue gets angry with Brother Jiang Tang for this reason...

"I'm so sorry! I'll pay this money back to Sister Shixue!"

Thinking of this, Cheng Diemeng sounded flustered and very nervous, and quickly apologized to Shixue.

Shi Xue looked completely bewildered and, of course, wouldn't accept Xiao Meng's apology; she even felt a little confused.

"Why are you suddenly apologizing... Master, how much is it exactly? Is it enough for Xiaomeng's tuition, living expenses, and accommodation? I'll pay the same amount as you paid!"

Shi Xue's expression was as fervent and genuine as ever.

“Eh…” Cheng Diemeng was completely stunned, feeling dizzy from Shi Xue’s subsequent words.

Jiang Tang then looked up and replied calmly.

"Six thousand. Xiaomeng's school fees are three thousand per semester, not including accommodation. She is a day student, so I gave her the money for two semesters."

"Six thousand... Wouldn't Xiaomeng be living a very frugal life? Girls need to buy new clothes and cosmetics."

“Master, please transfer another four thousand to Xiaomeng, making it ten thousand. This four thousand will be Xiaomeng’s living expenses!” Shixue’s tone left no room for argument.

Jiang Tang nodded without any objection, and at the same time picked up a green bean and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Okay, I'll go after I finish eating."

"No, no need! Brother Jiang Tang has already helped me so much!"

It was Cheng Diemeng's side that found it hard to bear the immense kindness of the two.

She was trembling all over, but not from fear or trembling.

It's just... she was too touched. Even her parents and relatives wouldn't treat her this well...

But Brother Jiang Tang and Sister Shi Xue were willing to do this for someone they had only known for a short time... Cheng Diemeng didn't know if she was worthy of using the word "friend".

Just as she didn't know whether she deserved their financial aid.

She wanted to cry; while she was moved, she also felt a deep sense of self-doubt.

But Shi Xue's words immediately dispelled all of Cheng Diemeng's anxiety and worry, and her playful tone was like a spring breeze and a beam of moonlight.

"Helping Xiaomeng is hardly a lot! Besides, it's an investment!"

"invest……?"

"Yeah! We're really bad, we're going to squeeze every last drop of value out of Xiaomeng in the future!" Shixue put her hands on her hips, looking like she was about to hang herself on a lamppost.

“Squeeze dry…” Jiang Tang was clearly more sensitive to certain words in it.

Indeed, it's true that usually only Jiang Tang can drain a girl dry, but no girl can drain Jiang Tang dry.

"Hehe, just kidding. Anyway, Xiaomeng should study hard so she can find a high-paying job in the future. Then, she can easily pay off this money."

"Xiaomeng, because we believe in your future, you should also try to believe in your future!"

As Cheng Diemeng watched Shixue stand up and become serious, her eyes seemed to radiate light, and Cheng Diemeng's emotions were like a rollercoaster, reaching their peak.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she made a promise with all her might.

"...Yes! I will definitely work hard, and strive to become the person whose remaining value is squeezed dry by Brother Jiang Tang and Sister Shi Xue!"

Jiang Tang & Shi Xue: "Σ(っ°Д°;)っeh!!?"

We're trying to get you to believe in your future!

Who is behind door 195?

Cheng Diemeng seemed to realize quickly that she had said something strange, and she blushed and lowered her head.

Shi Xue and Jiang Tang exchanged a glance and both smiled.

There was no need to continue this topic, so Shixue reverted to her role as a caring older sister and started serving food to Cheng Diemeng.

"Xiao Meng, try this."

"Me too." It was only natural for Jiang Tang to receive food from the maid in his own home.

"Alright, Master, you should try some too!"

Shi Xue shook her head and smiled helplessly, thinking to herself, "Why is my master jealous of Xiao Meng?"

Lunchtime flew by, and soon it was time for the two to part ways with Cheng Diemeng.

Since they were going to Teacher Qianyu's house anyway, Shixue and Jiang Tang got ready and then saw Cheng Diemeng off downstairs.

Cheng Diemeng's mood seemed to have brightened considerably after spending half a day with Jiang Tang and Shi Xue. When she said goodbye to the two of them, her face was full of smiles and radiance.

But her challenges don't end there. Tomorrow will be the real challenge for Cheng Diemeng.
