But who would have thought...
After the breakup, I actually had the opportunity to visit her home.
"Doesn't the young lady usually have a maid to take care of her at home?"
Jiang Tang followed An Qianxi a step behind, stepping on the smooth stone-paved path, and walked with her into the fenced front yard.
“I didn’t like their care, so I had my father fire them. The only time they came to pick me up after school was occasionally when the driver came to pick me up.”
"So you like my taking care of you?" Jiang Tang asked subconsciously, without thinking much about it.
Although he had just blurted it out, he immediately regretted his careless words.
"..."
An Qianxi remained silent for a moment, then simply opened the door.
Jiang Tang suddenly seemed a little obedient. He followed An Qianxi into her home.
The place was so clean and magnificent that Jiang Tang began to feel a little inferior about the dew that had gotten on his shoes when he stepped onto the grass.
When he looked up again, An Qianxi had already prepared comfortable indoor shoes for him.
She did know his size.
Toes.
Because An Qianxi had given Jiang Tang sneakers before, she assumed that boys all liked sneakers, so she specially picked out a pair of very expensive Air Jordans.
But Jiang Tang wasn't involved in the sneaker circle, so how could he understand the value of those shoes?
Just as a young girl's love is buried deep in her heart, one will never know it until one enters into it.
Jiang Tang even felt that those shoes weren't as comfortable as the Hongxing Erke shoes that Shi Xue had given him, so he rarely wore them.
"Thank you."
"It's nothing, this is... my dad's spare."
An Qianxi had already downed most of the wine in her hand, and her face was flushed. Was she not good at drinking, or was she just bad at lying?
Jiang Tang first boiled some water for her, and then stood in front of her huge refrigerator, looking at the few ingredients there, pondering what kind of late-night snack he should make for An Qianxi.
After returning home, An Qianxi seemed reluctant to speak. She curled up on the small single sofa, staring blankly at the cup of warm water that Jiang Tang had given her on the coffee table, watching the steam rising from the water.
The sounds coming from the kitchen gave this lonely building a rare sense of warmth and homeliness.
It reminded her of her childhood, when she would stare blankly at her friends and let her daydream.
Is it someone else's child who comes home to a hot meal every day?
When the father and mother came home from get off work, they were busy in the kitchen while the children played in the living room.
That was a sight she had never seen before.
"Here, make do with this. You're a picky eater, Miss. My cooking skills can't compare to those master chefs."
Jiang Tang brought out a plate of golden and crispy fried rice with freshly sliced wasabi cucumber. Dipping it in sushi vinegar and wasabi, the fresh aroma and spiciness of the tender green cucumber reached the taste buds, making one's appetite soar.
An Qianxi listened to his words in a daze and did not respond.
He simply reached out and took the small silver spoon as it was handed to him, and then scooped up Jiang Tang's fried rice, one small spoonful at a time.
As she ate, a few tears welled up in her eyes.
Jiang Tang was being modest; his cooking skills are actually quite good, considering how expensive takeout is these days.
The cheapest option is a plate of stir-fried pork with chili peppers for 15 yuan, with less than 20 grams of chili peppers and less than 20 grams of pork.
There was a time when pork in the market cost ten yuan per jin (500g), enough to make several meals.
Meat is expensive now, but Jiang Tang is not as poor as he used to be. He can occasionally take Shi Xue out to eat, and the two of them will talk about how well the chef makes this dish and how good that dish is.
As usual, we pack up the leftovers after the meal. After washing them, we can even use the containers to grow plants.
Jiang Tang and Ye Shixue were really poor at that time, but they seemed to be very rich in spirit.
Without saying a word, An Qianxi began to wolf down the fried rice with eggs that Jiang Tang had prepared for her.
"Wait, wait! There's more if you want to eat..."
This was the first time Jiang Tang had ever seen this young lady, whom he once knew, so unconcerned about her image.
This made him begin to doubt whether his impression of An Qianxi was right or wrong.
Just like An Qianxi never knew Jiang Tang could cook so well.
The two of them clearly have a long way to go and can get to know each other better.
Now, however, it takes a series of coincidences for us to get together.
He still couldn't help wanting to care for her, just as she clung to his side.
How ironic...
Jiang Tang watched An Qianxi eat, which was a rather long process.
The girl's cherry-like lips were stained with oil, but they weren't greasy at all; instead, they had a glistening, alluring shine.
He instinctively picked up a piece of paper and wiped her mouth for her.
But when he touched her lips, An Qianxi, for some reason, suddenly opened her mouth and bit Jiang Tang's finger.
"what!"
It didn't hurt, but the sudden stimulation made Jiang Tang cry out.
An Qianxi had a napkin in her mouth, but she still chuckled.
Her right hand, holding the chopsticks, was slightly raised; as the saying goes, a woman's smile doesn't reveal her teeth, and her elegance was etched into her very being.
After she finished laughing, she remembered to spit out the paper from her mouth.
Jiang Tang then showed a slightly annoyed expression.
“An Qianxi, you’re much more awful than before.”
"Wasn't that all because of someone? Tell me, what are your motives for taking care of me?!"
She was clearly sober, but she was still pretending to be drunk and acting unreasonably.
"Attempt... I now understand what it means to bite the hand that feeds you, to not recognize a kind heart."
I was worried you'd get scammed by a man at the bar, so I took you home and even made you fried rice. After all that, you still suspect I have ulterior motives.
Jiang Tang, who is known for his good temper, couldn't help but feel indignant at this moment.
"You actually called me... a puppy!"
"I didn't add 'small' to it. You have to act cute even in a place like this, huh? You really are... Hey, what are you doing!"
Jiang Tang suddenly asked with some surprise and astonishment.
Because suddenly, a young girl's flawless face came close to him.
It was so delicate and ethereal, its rosy hue resembling the early spring glow or the flowers of the South.
Jiang Tang could only lean back, otherwise she would almost inevitably kiss him. Although her clear eyes did not contain determination, they were the kind of eyes that would risk doing something foolish.
"You said I'm a dog, so I'll show you. Woof~ Doesn't it look like one?"
"No way, are you an idiot?"
Jiang Tang quickly grabbed her shoulders; they were very soft and her frame was slender, making one afraid of hurting her.
The shoulder strap was digging into Jiang Tang's palm, subtly making one want to untie it.
An Qianxi tried to break free from Jiang Tang's grip, but found that she couldn't do so with her own strength. So she simply softened her body and lay on her side in Jiang Tang's arms.
"I was just wondering if you might prefer this kind of relationship..."
In her mind, she recalled the scene of Jiang Tang holding Mu Yunyi's collar that day.
Back then, she could still righteously question Jiang Tang and angrily denounce him as a pervert. But now, she's in such a shameful and submissive state.
She didn't want to leave Jiang Tang, so she was willing to step from one relationship into another.
Jiang Tang's lips twitched, presumably recalling the same memory.
"Girl, your thoughts are dangerous."
"Have you finished eating? If you have, I'll clean up and then we should go home."
"no!"
An Qianxi stubbornly insisted on preventing any possibility of Jiang Tang leaving her side.
"But the sun will still rise, and I will still leave."
After Jiang Tang finished speaking, the girl suddenly fell silent for a very long time.
The huge villa was so quiet that it evoked feelings of loneliness.
Jiang Tang looked up at the dazzling crystal chandelier and couldn't help but think.
So this is where An Qianxi has lived for so long.
For a moment, he actually had the feeling that "what is this? It's not as comfortable as living with Shixue."
However, his rationality, ingrained in the modern society's money-first mentality, soon made him start to feel envious again.
Why should I pity a girl who owns a mansion?
Just because... she is her?
039 questions
An Qianxi finally finished her meal properly.
Jiang Tang cleared away the dishes, and the sound of running water came from the kitchen. An Qianxi stared blankly in the direction he left.
After Jiang Tang left the kitchen and wiped his hands as he entered the living room, An Qianxi's eyes finally snapped out of her daze.
She looked at Jiang Tang, then lowered her gaze. Her small body nestled in the sofa, she hugged her knees tightly.
Is this a gesture that makes her feel safe?
