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

If An Qianxi wanted, she could call Jiang Tang anytime, or add him on QQ or WeChat.

But she did not do that, even as her body began to weaken and her emotions became depressed, no matter how sad she was.

Even if she needed Jiang Tang again, she didn't do that.

Even if An Hongdou did nothing, the result would be no different from what she did at this moment, which was to sow discord between the two.

Given this, why doesn't An Hongdou take this opportunity to release the emotions she has been suppressing all along, those dark and frightening emotions?

An Hongdou may have become a bad woman now, but her badness has no effect on An Qianxi at all.

From beginning to end, the only person who determined An Qianxi's current situation was herself.

Whether this is An Hongdou's way of excusing herself for her actions or not.

The reality is, she was absolutely right.

“How could I not need it…” Jiang Tang’s tone became fragile.

He certainly didn't believe what An Hongdou said, nor did he believe that An Qianxi could forget him so quickly.

Because if I did that, wouldn't I seem like a fool for still clinging to this feeling and suffering because of it?

He touched his heart, where a gaping hole had been forever created because of An Qianxi's departure.

It can never be filled, no matter how happy you are.

He wouldn't argue, because changing someone's prejudice is as difficult as moving a mountain.

"Senior, whether you're telling the truth or not, I beg you, please give me a chance to reconnect with Qianxi..."

"Even if it's just a farewell, it's okay. I don't want our ending to remain on that lonely night."

That night when they left without saying goodbye.

Jiang Tang adopted a very humble attitude, as he didn't know why Senior Sister An Hongdou would target him like this.

Perhaps she's a good older sister; naturally, she can't be kind to someone who hurt her younger sister.

"She deleted your contact information and has refused to contact you ever since, which speaks volumes."

"Isn't this already evidence of my statement?"

"If she still has feelings for you, why doesn't she contact you?"

An Hongdou's words were absolutely devastating.

Jiang Tang understood this obvious thing, of course.

But like a drowning person who sees An Hongdou as a straw to grasp, they can't help but reach out and grab it tightly.

Even though he was still destined to drown.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Tang's eyes, under the moonlight, faintly gleamed with a crystalline... light?

It turns out he can feel sad too, and he can feel lost too.

Even so, I still want to hear her say it to me in person...

"Then you really are stubbornly persistent."

An Hongdou's tone became contemptuous and mocking.

Seeing Jiang Tang's pitiful appearance allowed her to release a lot of the negative emotions she had been suppressing.

But it's still not enough.

Just like how an unfillable void was created in Jiang Tang's heart because of An Qianxi's sudden departure.

Because of her experience of being abandoned by her family since childhood, An Hongdou has always been walking alone with a broken heart.

Countless negative emotions are hidden inside, needing to be vented on one hand, and on the other hand... needing something new to fill the void.

Therefore, the more An Hongdou looked at Jiang Tang, the more she felt that he was her best outlet for venting, or perhaps... her antidote.

Can he fill the empty void in his heart after venting his past?

Lost in thought, An Hongdou found herself reaching out to Jiang Tang as if possessed.

In the past, she had dreamt of reaching out to a puppet or shadow that she imagined could make her happy, but when she woke up, she would find only cold air in front of her.

But this time was different; unlike the time when I gained nothing in my dream.

For the first time, she touched a physical object, her fingers brushing against Jiang Tang's cold fingers, which startled Jiang Tang, causing him to flinch slightly.

"Senior...?"

An Hongdou realized what kind of inappropriate thing she had done.

But having seen countless big scenes, she quickly regained her composure.

"Didn't you say you wanted me to give you a chance to contact my sister?"

"……Yes."

"I'm willing to give you that opportunity."

"Really!?"

Looking at his expectant expression, as if his wish was about to come true, An Hongdou felt inexplicably irritated and dissatisfied.

But this frustration and dissatisfaction eventually turned into a very elusive chuckle.

"Hmph, it's true, it's true."

"But you don't actually think that you can gain anything without paying a price, do you?"

"Jiang Tang, Jiang Tang, how many people have treated you favorably in the past, to the point that you've become so arrogant that you think everyone should help you for free?"

"...No, of course not. Then, what do you need? I'm willing to give you anything I can."

Jiang Tang blinked nervously, her long eyelashes casting shadows that created a very beautiful scene.

“I stated my conditions from the very beginning.”

An Hongdou crossed her long legs again, and her dark eyes sparkled with a rare gleam.

"Tomorrow night at eight o'clock, still in this office."

"Come apply for a position in the student union and become one of my people."

271. A girl wants to be patted on the head.

An elegant and noble young woman made such an invitation to a boy.

"Come apply for a position in the student council and become one of my people."

Her people? People from her department, or...?

These are words that inevitably evoke a range of thoughts.

Jiang Tang felt the same way; for a moment, some strange things came to mind, but then he remembered that An Hongdou was Qian tide's older sister...

Since that's the case, she probably just spoke offhand and didn't have any ulterior motives towards me.

"...I understand, I will go."

Jiang Tang had no choice but to accept An Hongdou's conditions. She raised an eyebrow, though she could detect a hint of reluctance in Jiang Tang's tone.

However, as a believer in "results-oriented thinking," An Hongdou believes that as long as she can get the results she wants, that is all that matters.

The twists and turns and human emotions during the process can all be ignored.

No matter how hard you try, in the end no one will see it. What everyone will see is what you have accomplished, what you have become, and where you stand.

Could it be that her family invited her to join them again because of her hard work?

No, of course it's because of everything she's accomplished.

An Hongdou refused, feigning reluctance, knowing that Fang Ming of the family had not truly regretted his decision.

The day they truly regret and realize their mistakes, the day An Qianxi's mother pays the price.

Only then will she return to the An family, to the place in the family that rightfully belongs to her.

Qianxi is a fragile and gentle person, and it is her misfortune to have such a strong-willed mother.

Perhaps her breakup with Jiang Tang was influenced by her mother.

After all, who would acknowledge him? At that time, Jiang Tang was just a penniless nobody.

Whether the An family now understands Jiang Tang's value, and whether they will allow Qianxi and him to reconcile, remains unknown.

………………

Jiang Tang walked out of An Hongdou's office, and the motion-activated lights in the corridor turned on in sync with his footsteps.

He slowly raised one hand, looking up at a spot touched by An Hongdou, turning it over and over as if lost in thought.

But when he lowered his hand, he began to mutter.

"Tomorrow... another day has passed, I thought I would forget, but when your name jumps into my ears."

"My emotions started to get out of control."

Jiang Tang didn't want to become a sentimental person.

Unfortunately, that's just how he is sometimes.

I wonder if it's because the students are all busy joining various college-level student unions today, because there's hardly anyone in the entire office building.

As for the teachers, they naturally go home after work. Except for certain days and counselors, university teachers rarely work overtime.

Jiang Tang took the elevator down to the first floor alone, came out of the office building, and was about to scan an electric bicycle to go back to the school community when...

He suddenly felt as if someone was watching him, and the next moment, a silver-gray color jumped into his field of vision.

The girl jumped down the high stairs, not knowing how long she had been waiting for him. Silent and stubborn, like a small animal, she had her own principles.

I just don't know if she'll crave to be petted like a small animal.

Jiang Tang blurted out in surprise.

"Qian Ning..."

Call out her name.
