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

Jiang Tang gave his evaluation.

As a result, the perfect expression that Minamoto no Shiki had managed to maintain instantly crumbled.

"What do you mean... 'Just be normal'?"

"It's as if you've ever paid any attention to me in my daily life."

Yuan Ziji bit her rosy lips in grievance, and couldn't help but punch Jiang Tang's arm with her small hand.

Of course it doesn't hurt. It's like a kitten hitting someone, pawing at them with its little paws, but it doesn't dare to use its claws.

To tell whether your cat is playing with you or hitting you because it's unhappy, just look at whether the kitten extends its claws.

Jiang Tang's expression showed a hint of helplessness.

After a long pause, a word popped out.

"Too busy to be in two places at once..."

Genji Shiki let out another soft hum.

"That's one of your strengths. You're too good to the women you like, and you can't bear to part with them. You're always so affectionate."

"But... it's too cruel for a woman who hasn't fallen in love with you yet."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tang remained silent for a moment.

Until Minamoto no Shiki suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

She could have tried to hold Jiang Tang's hand, but she didn't.

Was she worried about being rejected by Jiang Tang and feeling too embarrassed, or was she starting to try to proceed gradually?

Although her strategy for winning over Jiang Tang and her feelings for him were as obvious as open secrets,

Even if the cards are revealed, you still have to play them one by one.

The game continues until all cards in one's hand are played, at which point victory is achieved.

This is the lesson that Minamoto no Shiki learned while playing the so-called "Dou Dizhu" (a card game) with Lilith and Miyamoto Maizo.

It's worth mentioning that her card skills are now quite good. "Let's go."

The girl's voice rose up, the most natural tone.

"...Where are you going? We have to come back for roll call later."

The sports meet at Tianfu University was held in order to increase viewership—or, more accurately, to improve students' physical fitness.

Therefore, in principle, "absence from class" is not allowed.

To make it easier to understand, you can think of the sports meet as a physical education class that lasts for several days.

It means that I made up for all the physical education classes I missed in high school.

At the beginning and end of each day's sports meet, the class monitor of each class needs to take attendance.

Students who skip class will be penalized with a deduction of conduct points.

"Let's go somewhere quiet; it won't take up much of your time."

“We’re not doing anything, and you’re unwilling to do anything…”

Jiang Tang turned his face away, pretending not to hear the girl's subsequent rambling.

However, how could Minamoto no Shiki, being a young girl, say such things so bluntly...?

It's truly a sign of the world going to the dogs, but considering that Minamoto no Murasaki came from the land of cherry blossoms, it seems to make sense.

Well, it's best not to have stereotypes about people from a particular region, otherwise it becomes regional discrimination.

Just like Minamoto no Murasaki and Miyamoto Maizo, who both come from Japan, doesn't Maizo seem very pure?

Five minutes later, Jiang Tang and Yuan Ziji arrived at the school's art gallery.

It's right next to the playground and is open to students for free on weekdays, as long as you bring your student ID to prove you're a student of this school.

It was indeed quiet here; every student was silent or talking quietly with their classmates, immersed in the artistic world of the paintings before them.

The exhibition hall features a small portion of masterpieces by artists from China and abroad, both ancient and modern, while the majority of the works are by the school's professors, teachers, and outstanding students.

Jiang Tang followed behind Yuan Ziji, and the two walked forward, admiring the artworks on the walls on both sides while chatting.

Have you been here before?

"No, in fact I just walked around the main roads of the school and then thought I knew the campus well."

"Oh, I see. Then come with me, I'll show you some interesting things."

Minamoto no Shiki has a kind of childlike feeling about sharing her secrets with her friends.

She didn't rush to reveal certain things, even though those were the important points and the reason Jiang Tang had accompanied her here.

However, Jiang Tang checked the time on his phone; it was a little past ten o'clock, still early before the morning sports meet ended at 11:30.

Then let's accompany the lonely girl as she strolls through this exhibition hall.

Anyway, it can broaden my horizons a bit.

His favorite painting so far is a student's work that hangs closest to the entrance of the exhibition hall.

In the painting, many blue butterflies flutter and fly towards you. The composition is very simple, but the picture is extremely beautiful, especially the use of blue pigments—deep blue, light blue, ice blue, indigo…

Jiang Tang likes blue, and at the same time, he can't help but think of it.

The purple of Minamoto no Shikihime is a combination of warm red and calm blue, belonging to the category of secondary colors.

That painting is excellent; otherwise, it wouldn't have been displayed in the exhibition hall as a representative of outstanding students.

However, since these are student works, they can only be used for welcoming guests and cannot yet be displayed in the exhibition hall's collection room.

As is well known, in any museum or exhibition hall, the exhibits deeper inside are often the most valuable.

Yuan Ziji did not lead Jiang Tang to the upper levels or deeper parts of the exhibition hall.

Instead, she stopped in front of an exhibition room located in the middle of the room, and then, with a mischievous grin, beckoned Jiang Tang to accompany her inside.

There was no one else inside; it was a silent space belonging solely to the artwork.

As soon as Jiang Tang entered, his eyes were drawn to the portrait of a woman hanging on the wall.

At first, there was some concealment; the foreign women in the paintings were at least wearing light gauze.

But the further you go, the closer you get to the core of art, and the paintings begin to feature fully nude girls.

Yuan Ziji's cheeks flushed slightly, but she was more concerned about Jiang Tang's reaction.

Jiang Tang knew that Yuan Ziji wanted him to look embarrassed.

But he deliberately prevented her from doing so, instead adopting a serious demeanor as if he were appreciating art.

Over time, Minamoto no Shiki pouted and started to lose interest in the whole thing.

Yuan Ziji's behavior reminded Jiang Tang of the kind of children he only knew in elementary school.

Most of the time it's boys, but sometimes it's mischievous girls. For example, if they see an insect, they'll take it and scare the opposite sex for fun, or you could say they'll scare the person they like.

Another thing is that when they see pictures of naked human bodies in their biology textbooks, they feel like they've discovered a new continent.

Mischievously showing these pictures to members of the opposite sex, anticipating their reactions.

Perhaps Minamoto no Shiki is more naive than she imagined.

That's why I thought of bringing Jiang Tang here.

Little did she know that, not only had he been seen in nude paintings, he had also painted related works for others.

Jiang Tang pictured the slender figure of Luo Qianyu, the legal loli, in his mind.

Recalling her captivating beauty that day, I couldn't help but swallow hard.

Come to think of it, it has indeed been quite a long time since I've seen Luo Qianyu.

Shi Xue maintained close contact with her, after all, they were master and disciple.

I don't know if she has finished the artwork for Kuroba-sensei.

I wonder if she ever thinks of me.

And finally, was the painting he gave her actually destroyed?

Although Jiang Tang said at the time that Luo Qianyu could do whatever he wanted with it.

But what if you go to her villa next time and find that the painting you gave her has disappeared?

It's only natural that Jiang Tang would feel somewhat disappointed.

"If you hadn't brought me here, I really wouldn't have known such an interesting place existed."

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite good at drawing. Looking at the works of my predecessors has helped me improve my skills."

Jiang Tang politely thanked Yuan Ziji.

This means that Genji's plan to see Jiang Tang's embarrassed reaction has completely failed.

However, she was not discouraged; instead, she immediately thought of another direction.

"You can draw too?"

"Would you be interested in drawing one for me?"

"Just like taking boudoir photos, girls always hope to capture the most beautiful moments of their youth."

"I believe in your drawing skills, and even more so in your character!"

Yuan Ziji turned around towards Jiang Tang, her low-cut halter dress fluttering like a graceful butterfly flapping its wings.

In particular, she leaned slightly forward toward Jiang Tang's chest, and the upper part of her skirt no longer clung to her body under the influence of gravity, creating obvious gaps that allowed Jiang Tang's gaze to penetrate directly.

One could glimpse the girl's bulging bra and, looking through the deep cleavage, a flat stomach.

Aside from being caught off guard at first, Jiang Tang consciously looked away after that.

"No, you don't have to trust my character so much..."

"Isn't that even better~" Genji Shiki revealed a sly smile, like a little fox who had gotten her way.

Jiang Tang shrugged, indicating his helplessness.
