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

Lilith began to mutter to herself.

"Hmph, it's just a date, what can you possibly achieve?"

"I guess I'll just grab a meal and a movie and be back, but me? My darling and I are already...!"

Lilith started bragging about her glorious past with Darling again...

Miyamoto Maizo covered her ears; she was too embarrassed to hear any more of the details.

But I really am envious.

This made her realize even more that she was now far behind.

But what can you do when your personality is so passive...?

But in fact, Jiang Tang saw through Miyamoto Maizō's silence and waiting.

Along with her ever-admiring gaze.

Even children who aren't good at fighting for what they want will eventually reap their own reward.

324 Suspension Bridge Effect

It was the first time that Minamoto no Shiki had held hands with a boy, so she was understandably nervous.

Soon, my palms started sweating.

She felt a little embarrassed, wanting to pull away but afraid of being misunderstood by Jiang Tang, and stared blankly at her moving toes.

Even on holiday, there were still quite a few students on campus.

People were coming and going around them, and Jiang Tang and Yuan Ziji's appearances were so outstanding that they naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Yuan Ziji suddenly remembered the bad reputation that Jiang Tang had been rumored to have at school.

It seems that because of my own actions, there will be another reason for this in the future.

But he wasn't afraid and still held her hand tightly.

Minamoto no Shiki's feelings became complicated.

It was at this moment that Jiang Tang suddenly asked with a smile.

Why do you seem so shy today?

Minamoto no Shiki's heart skipped a beat, but of course she refused to admit it.

"Really... I'm just not good at handling situations in front of other people..."

"So you can have a lot of fun in private? I'm really looking forward to seeing how you react when we're alone together later."

"Don't, don't talk nonsense!"

Minamoto no Shiki's cheeks flushed red.

The phrase "playing very big games in private" was incredibly suggestive, instantly conjuring up a multitude of strange images in her mind.

Unlike Miyamoto Maizo's purity, and also unlike Lilith's innocent nature.

Genji is very knowledgeable.

After all, a girl's curiosity during puberty is no joke.

Some boys probably don't realize that the seemingly innocent and well-behaved girls in class might actually be experienced drivers behind the scenes.

However, even if Minamoto no Shikihime knew some knowledge in that area, it was all just theoretical knowledge.

Jiang Tang has actually practiced this in real-world scenarios...

Therefore, it is highly likely that Yuan Ziji's fate will still be controlled by Jiang Tang.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense."

"Have you decided where to go on your date? If so, of course we'll go with whatever you say."

Jiang Tang asked.

Genji thought about it and realized that she had indeed considered this issue before.

We also came up with some suitable solutions.

Having dinner, watching a movie, and booking a hotel room like Lilith did is too ordinary and too mundane.

But it was precisely because of this ordinary and mundane thing that he managed to hook Jiang Tang...

Even now, the memory still makes Minamoto no Murasaki feel heartbroken, and she can only comfort herself with the proverb "fools are lucky".

Or perhaps the most universal method is indeed the most effective.

After a moment of contemplation, Genji's gaze wandered.

"Can we...go to the amusement park?"

"Sure, it's good that today is the day before the holiday. Tomorrow will be packed with people. If we take advantage of this opportunity to go and have fun, we should be able to experience quite a few attractions."

Yuan Ziji also agreed with Jiang Tang's analysis.

More importantly, amusement parks are one of the must-visit places for couples.

Its appeal lies in its ability to provide thrilling and exciting experiences, such as roller coasters. After the ride, the glances exchanged between each other can easily make your heart race and even spark romantic feelings.

In psychology, this appears to be called the "suspension bridge effect".

This is why true love is more likely to emerge from dangerous situations.

Yuan Ziji wasn't very confident about her relationship with Jiang Tang, after all, the two had only just begun to get to know each other.

She didn't know if Jiang Tang had feelings for her; he might, but probably not as much as for the others.

Therefore, this was the only method that the impatient and profit-driven Minamoto no Shiki could think of.

Jiang Tang smiled gently.

He had actually thought about the purpose behind Minamoto no Shiki's decision to go to the amusement park.

But he didn't expose it.

Instead, he looked at Minamoto no Shiki, who was trying so hard to make him like her.

Suddenly, I found it rather endearing.

Regardless of gender, people are always happy when they realize that they are liked and cared for by others.

Jiang Tang and Yuan Ziji arrived at the school gate and hailed a taxi.

After getting on the bus, their hands naturally separated, and they each looked out the window at the scenery rushing past, remaining silent for a moment.

After a brief moment of unease, Yuan Ziji couldn't help but glance at Jiang Tang.

But they happened to meet a pair of eyes that had also turned to look at them.

Deep, swirling eyes that draw you in.

Genji's breathing suddenly quickened, and she hurriedly turned her face away, but when she looked at the scenery outside the window again, it was all fragmented.

All I could think about was the image of him looking at me.

It was at this moment that Jiang Tang's slightly puzzled voice suddenly came from beside the girl's ear.

"What are you looking at? Is it that interesting?"

"..."

Yuan Ziji's whole body stiffened, and she could almost feel Jiang Tang's warmth and breath pressed tightly against her from behind.

He stood very close to me, but politely left a tiny gap between us.

After all, their relationship has not been fully confirmed yet.

Perhaps there will be a noticeable change after the date.

"Don't you come out often, so you find it novel?"

"……Um."

Since Jiang Tang had given her such a way out, Yuan Ziji naturally stepped on it without hesitation.

Jiang Tang subtly moved to a position very close to Yuan Ziji.

That way, the two of them will look more like a couple.

It wasn't like a strange relationship where people let go of each other's hands as soon as they got on the bus, each occupying one side.

Yuan Ziji seemed to realize this as well, and slowly withdrew her gaze, her pupils trembling slightly as she spoke.

"...This is the first time I've ever gone on a date."

"I might be a little nervous, Jiang Tang... You won't blame me, will you?"

"How could that be? On the contrary, your reaction is quite adorable. At least it's better than that day when he suddenly forced himself on me and before I could even... Waaah!"

Jiang Tang's mouth was suddenly covered by a shy girl's hand.

"No...don't bring it up again!"

As she leaned over, it was as if she had thrown herself into Jiang Tang's arms.

Only after receiving Jiang Tang's affirmative look did the girl lower her soft little hand.

Just thinking about that incident made Minamoto no Shiki feel incredibly ashamed.

"Let's not talk about it."

Jiang Tang smiled, but only thought about it in his heart.

Minamoto no Shiki has improved a lot since last time. Last time, she had to force herself so hard just to sit on her own lap.

Who would like someone who seems unwilling?

So it's no wonder that Jiang Tang said things like "waiting for the best price" to her.

But now, when she's intimate with him again, she doesn't seem to care at all.

This shows that, without realizing it, Minamoto no Shiki had already accepted Jiang Tang's existence in her heart.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tang's smile deepened, and he even began to look forward to the date that was about to begin.
