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

However, this book is actually a bit scary, as it claims that all biological behavior is "the result of genetic selfishness."

Human life may be insignificant, and human emotions may be meaningless.

Author Liu Cixin also said: "The biggest feature of 'The Selfish Gene' is its coldness, a coldness that is colder than calmness. It reveals the essence of life without making a sound, although this conclusion may not be correct."

Lilith swallowed hard, but obediently accepted the book Jiang Tang handed her, muttering to herself as she did so.

"My job at evening self-study should be to keep my darling company, read books, and stuff..."

"Does reading with me not count as spending time with me?"

"...Oh well, never mind."

"You need to learn to calm down and not be so impulsive."

"But when I'm with Darling, my heart starts pounding, and I can't control it..."

If it were any other time, when the two were alone, Jiang Tang might have seriously suggested, "Let me touch it," since Lilith was so alluring, like a ripe peach, making one want to pick and taste it.

But it was evening self-study time, and even he couldn't say such things openly, so he coughed lightly and touched Lilith's hair.

Lilith lowered her head meekly like a little lamb, blushing as she enjoyed Jiang Tang's gentle caresses.

She is a princess who truly possesses a crown, but bowing her head for the man she loves will not cause it to fall.

Since Darling wants me to read, I'll try my best to read.

Before she could even turn a few pages, Lilith naturally and softly buried her face in the book with a "thud," collapsing onto the table, her golden hair falling naturally, swaying gracefully.

"Help! I'll die if I read too long a passage, sob sob..."

Jiang Tang glanced at the chapter she had opened and thought to himself that this was not too long. The really long passages might be several pages long, all text. Even with a book like this, Jiang Tang could easily devour it.

"Alright then, if you can focus on it, then focus on it. If you can't, then just sit next to me and keep me company."

"Mmm." Lilith nodded obediently, and while Jiang Tang wasn't paying attention, she nervously tried to rest her head on Jiang Tang's shoulder.

As expected, Jiang Tang raised a hand and touched the girl's soft, warm cheek, gently pushing her back.

"oops……"

Jiang Tang and Lilith's presence was so eye-catching that many people had been paying attention to them since earlier.

They even caught a glimpse of Lilith leaning towards Jiang Tang, and were immediately filled with envy and jealousy.

Logically speaking, no one, or rather no man, should be able to refuse Lilith's advances.

Goddesses of that caliber are like the resurrection of Athena from ancient Greece, representing the pinnacle of Western civilization.

However, Jiang Tang did something that surprised everyone.

He actually... pushed it away without hesitation!

Autumn, autumn beans!

Did I see it wrong?

But reality unfolded in that magical way.

Jiang Tang's actions seemed to say: Women only slow down my learning.

His diligent study was also deeply imprinted in the eyes of those around him.

This is simply... a role model for us all!

258 Small Actions

Jiang Tang probably never imagined that his casual action would cause his popularity to skyrocket among the male students in the Department of Genetic Engineering.

He was even regarded as a role model for boys.

But actually, he was just being mischievous and didn't want Lilith to succeed.

I don't want her to become arrogant because she's been spoiled.

However, it now seems that the consequences are quite "serious".

Lilith puffed out her cheeks, her eyes red-rimmed, and rested her chin on her arm, staring pitifully at the desk and books in front of her, lost in thought.

Her appearance suddenly reminded Jiang Tang of a certain pet.

The pet is called the "squirrel," and these little creatures look like squirrels. They have thin, pointed ears and big, round eyes. They are light and petite and love to be close to people.

The owner can toss it up and catch it, or place it in a high place and raise their palm towards it.

At this moment, the gloved weasel will blink its big, black eyes, open the gliding membranes on both sides of its body, and "fly" towards its owner.

If the owner doesn't catch it and it falls to the ground, it may not get hurt, but it might get angry with its owner, ignore them, and even become depressed.

There are even stories of sardines dying of anger because their owners failed to catch them.

At this moment, Lilith gave the impression of a squirrel that hadn't been caught by its owner, sulking all by herself, looking aggrieved.

But Jiang Tang's soft cough still caught Lilith's attention.

She glanced at Jiang Tang with slightly reddened eyes, looking somewhat timid.

This kind of look shouldn't have appeared on the proud Lilith's face; it was more suitable for the timid Mu Yunyi or the self-conscious and weak Cheng Diemeng.

It seems she's not a slug after all; she's the type who would stay devoted to her darling even if he hurt her a thousand times. She wouldn't become withdrawn to the point of ignoring people.

Of course, this is just a metaphor; Jiang Tang would never actually hurt her a thousand times.

Lilith looked at Jiang Tang and found that his gaze was also lowered and looking at her.

"Darling...don't you like me being so clingy?"

"No."

Jiang Tang answered this question without hesitation.

This gave Lilith some confidence.

Actually, she wasn't the kind of girl who didn't understand things. She knew that openly leaning on Darling's shoulder in his class would cause him some public trouble.

But perhaps it was because being with Darling and undisturbed was too exciting.

That's why I couldn't help myself...

"I'm sorry... darling."

The one who ultimately apologized was Lilith.

Jiang Tang's heart skipped a beat. He put down the pen he was holding and quietly squeezed Lilith's hand under the desk.

She clenched her fists as if she was enduring something, but they slowly opened under Jiang Tang's gentle caress.

Are you feeling better now?

"Hmm..." Lilith lowered her head, her gaze seemingly fixed on the Chinese characters in the open book in front of her, yet also as if she wasn't looking at anything at all, her tone somewhat dazed and dizzy.

"You should be more careful in public. If we were in private, I would have already eaten you up."

"Don't you have any self-awareness about how good-looking and sexy you are?"

Jiang Tang's words sounded sarcastic and unsettling.

But faced with such sarcastic remarks, Lilith could only say... give me more!

She was so flattered she almost lost her bearings.

It turns out that in Darling's mind, her body is so attractive that people can't help but want to eat it, just like a sweet strawberry cake!

Since we can't do it in front of everyone, we'll do it secretly...

Lilith started having wicked ideas again. The desks were natural visual barriers, seemingly enticing people to secretly do things underneath.

So, Lilith's hand, which was nestled in Jiang Tang's palm, suddenly turned around and covered Jiang Tang's palm. Of course, it couldn't completely cover it, as the physical difference between men and women was still there.

Jiang Tang wasn't too surprised by the girl's sudden action.

He thought that as long as it was within the normal range, he should indulge her.

………………

259 Darling, you need to behave well.

Lilith's thieving ways are truly relentless; if Jiang Tang doesn't keep an eye on her, she won't restrain herself in the slightest.

Unfortunately, just as Jiang Tang gently knocked Lilith's thieving hand away, it was precisely at the end of the first class of evening self-study.

In this way, it could even be said that Lilith touched Jiang Tang until he was dismissed from get out of class!

That's a very intriguing statement; don't say it again.

The ringing of the bell immediately eased the silence in the classroom. Everyone began to sigh and chat with their classmates or new friends, no longer keeping their voices down.

Many students went out of the classroom to breathe fresh air in the corridor or to use the restroom.

In the noisy environment, Jiang Tang and Lilith remained in their seats, showing no intention of leaving for the time being.

Jiang Tang looked at Lilith with a complicated expression, a mixture of helplessness and speechlessness.

The reason is that after Lilith touched herself, she actually brought her fingers to her nose and smelled them, while muttering something under her breath.

"It doesn't taste like much... What a pity, I really miss it."

"That's enough," Jiang Tang warned. If Lilith made any more dirty jokes, he would have to teach her a lesson.

Lilith seemed to realize this as well, and quickly changed the subject with a smile.

"Hehe, let's not talk about that, darling! I bought you some snacks!"

Lilith finally had the chance to open the snack bag she had hidden for half a class period.

To bring her darling a hot snack, she went to the shop owner to wrap it in tin foil, layer upon layer, so that the aroma wouldn't spread in the classroom and Jiang Tang could have a hot late-night snack.

When Lilith tore open the foil, revealing about twenty skewers of street food, still steaming hot, dripping with chili oil, and fragrant with chili flakes, along with grilled gluten.

It has to be said that the students who stayed in the classroom were all envious.

Where can you find a girlfriend who is so beautiful, has such a great figure, is blonde and blue-eyed, and has a gentle temperament who brings her boyfriend snacks?

Even without all the other conditions, her gentleness and thoughtfulness alone are enough to make many boys envious and longing.
