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

It's like being stuck at home when trouble comes knocking from the sky.

Jiang Tang was also unusually abnormal that day; normally, he would never be willing to suffer such a loss.

But that day, no matter how his parents questioned him about whether he had bullied Jiang Peining or done something to the young girl, he was still unharmed.

Jiang Tang kept his head down and remained silent.

Seeing that he had been taught a lesson, Jiang Peining, who should have felt smug, felt no joy at all; instead, she was sullen.

As for Xiao Shixue, who was holding a small broom and dressed in a cute maid outfit not far away, her worry and tension were even more obvious.

Jiang Peining's gaze fell on Shi Xue's fair face, and suddenly turned cold.

Shi Xue noticed Miss Jiang Peining's gaze and immediately lowered her head timidly.

Accompanied by a soft yet distinct set of footsteps, Jiang Peining slowly approached Shi Xue's side.

Shixue was at a loss for what to do, her small hands nervously gripping the hem of her skirt.

Normally, she would never have any opportunity to be alone with Jiang Peining, because she only served her master Jiang Tang, and Jiang Tang would protect her.

At that time, Jiang Tang did not think that Jiang Peining would fall in love with him.

But if Shi Xue is always so timid, just looking at her makes one want to bully her.

Jiang Tang understood perfectly well that Jiang Peining was just as wicked as he was.

It's even possible that they're worse than you.

A rose with thorns is fine if it is noble and beautiful on its own, but what if it uses its thorns to actively hurt people?

Such a possibility cannot be ruled out.

Just as we cannot rule out the possibility that Jiang Peining may not be as terrible or hateful as we think.

But it's definitely a little bit awful.

She was naturally displeased that Shi Xue was staring at her Jiang Tang.

However, Jiang Peining's upbringing would not allow her to do anything to harm Shixue.

"Aren't you doing anything standing here? Then go clean my room."

Jiang Peining frowned slightly as she gave the order.

Shi Xue immediately felt as if she had been granted a pardon.

"...Yes, Miss."

Then, the girl brushed past Jiang Peining's skirt as if fleeing.

Jiang Peining suddenly began to think about the relationship between Jiang Tang and Shi Xue.

However, in the past, she didn't care at all.

It was as if a figure had suddenly entered my heart at some point, or even earlier.

After that, everything related to him became a matter of interest.

Jiang Tang climbed the spiral staircase step by step, his face contorted in a grimace.

He hadn't expected to run into Jiang Peining. After a moment of stunned silence, he made a sarcastic remark, as was his usual habit.

"You've come to laugh at me, haven't you..."

"Hmph." Jiang Peining turned her head away after hearing his words, ignoring him.

"Hey, have you seen Shixue?"

Jiang Tang suddenly asked.

Jiang Peining became increasingly irritated as she listened.

I didn't see him; he might be in the garden.

"Okay, I'll go look for it."

Jiang Tang left those words behind and went to the garden to search for a long time.

Jiang Peining watched Jiang Tang's futile efforts from the balcony upstairs, but felt no joy at the success of his prank.

The sun slowly set, and night enveloped the entire world.

Jiang Peining turned and left.

As for whether Jiang Tang found Shi Xue afterward.

Did Shi Xue tell Jiang Tang about how she had asked her to clean her room?

Jiang Peining bit her lip; she didn't care.

Let them do whatever they want.

The little girl returned to her spacious bedroom and went to bed early.

Even when she was a child, Jiang Peining's sleep quality was never very good.

Perhaps the more intelligent people think, the less they can sleep.

Jiang Peining closed her eyes and lost track of time when a sound coming from the doorway suddenly caught her attention.

It sounded like someone was tiptoeing and starting to turn the doorknob.

Jiang Peining nestled in the blankets, only her eyes were open and exceptionally bright.

She didn't have the habit of locking her bedroom door, and the atmosphere at the Jiang family's house made her feel very safe.

Jiang Tang's parents are easy-going adults, and Jiang Tang... I don't want to talk about him.

So at first, Jiang Peining thought it was a night watch maid or servant coming to check if she was asleep.

But then the door was opened and then quietly closed again.

The only difference was that there was a small figure in Jiang Peining's bedroom.

Jiang Peining suddenly became a little nervous, and many thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

Even the plots of detective and suspense novels he had read in the study came to mind: the young lady murdered in a locked room...

Even Jiang Peining, at this moment, is just a little girl whose body has not yet begun to develop, so it is normal for her to have wild thoughts.

Just as Jiang Peining was beginning to think about how to escape from the other party's clutches.

A familiar voice suddenly entered his ears.

"...Jiang Peining, are you asleep?"

Jiang Peining was immediately so angry that she gritted her teeth.

That familiar, flirtatious yet gentle voice could only belong to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Peining had no idea why he came to her room in the middle of the night.

But her temper from the evening was still there, so Jiang Peining kept quiet, closed her eyes again, maintained her sideways position, and pretended to be asleep.

Looks like she's asleep.

Jiang Tang thought to himself with a touch of regret.

Then he wondered if he had returned empty-handed.

That can't be right.

Moreover, Shixue refused to sleep with me today no matter what I said, and I don't know why.

I searched for her in the garden for a long time in the evening but couldn't find her anywhere.

I haven't even blamed her yet...

Jiang Tang is the type who feels uncomfortable if he doesn't hold something in his arms while sleeping.

Usually, it's a body pillow or Shiyu. Back then, the world of anime and manga wasn't as developed, and there weren't any body pillows with anime characters printed on them that you could use as your wife.

As for Shi Xue, she is wonderful beyond words, but Jiang Tang was turned away when he went to see her tonight.

So sometimes girls' thoughts are really hard to understand.

Speaking of things that are hard to understand, Jiang Tang recalled the light kiss Jiang Peining gave him in the study earlier today...

The shock was so great that Jiang Tang still felt a sense of unreality.

But the force of Jiang Peining's flurry of light punches later really hurt in my chest, as did the feeling on my bottom when my parents scolded me...

Sigh, so who exactly is their biological child?

Besides, Jiang Peining is his fiancée.

Why not get to know each other better beforehand?

Thinking of this, Jiang Tang decided to go all the way and climbed into Jiang Peining's bed.

Anyway, if they get caught, they'll just get another beating. It's no big deal.

At that time, Jiang Tang had not yet realized that although they were both "Jiang family", the difference between the Jiang family and the Jiang family was greater than he imagined.

Jiang Peining felt Jiang Tang crawl into her bed, and her mind went blank for a moment.

How could he be so bold!

She received a lot of education from her family, and she also learned a great deal from books.

But no one told her what to do in this situation!

This shows the lack of sex education for teenagers in China, but that's not the focus right now.

The key point is that the two have already shared a bed!

Moreover, Jiang Tang was extremely close by!

Jiang Peining's mind went completely blank.

No matter how powerful or empress-like she becomes in the future, she is still just a pure and innocent girl now.

Perhaps he is usually a bit aloof and arrogant.

But when something happens, he inevitably shows a helpless expression.

She dared not reveal that she was already awake, so she closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.
