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

As for why Jiang Peining was so discouraged that she chose to stay home to fight the job search,

Because she's already tried so hard! She's also lowered herself like never before to communicate...

But what I got in return was estrangement and perfunctory treatment.

She has never experienced as much cold stares and awkward laughter in her entire life as she has in the past few days.

No, who would have dared to treat her like that before!

In the end, in comparison, I realized that I could only feel the long-lost warmth when I was by Jiang Tang's side.

And of course, there's also good fortune; the kitten is super clingy every day...

Jiang Peining... can also be clingy at times.

For example, on the night she decided "not to look for a job tomorrow".

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Peining snuggled into Jiang Tang's arms.

Then close your eyes and play dead!

The impact at that time was truly extraordinary for Jiang Tang.

He began to doubt that his plan had succeeded.

Now is the best time to discuss with Jiang Peining about returning to Chengdu, where she and Shixue can become the dominant force, while the other girls can become the subordinates.

But Jiang Peining made no further comment after that, and Jiang Tang's excitement gradually subsided.

She guessed that Jiang Peining must have become intimate with her for some sudden reason.

Since that's the case, I shouldn't be too happy yet; continuing with a warm and affectionate approach is the best course of action.

Therefore, that night, Jiang Tang risked numbness and stiffness in his hands and slept with Jiang Peining in his arms all night.

When Jiang Peining woke up the next morning, she acted as if nothing had happened and went about washing up and having breakfast as usual.

This coincided with Jiang Tang's guess, and fortunately, he made the correct response.

Jiang Peining didn't go to work that day, but Jiang Tang didn't urge her to go out and find a job. Instead, he took it upon himself to support the family.

Anyway, if Jiang Peining decides to become a "housewife", he will choose to support her.

This is a normal division of labor within a family; there is no hierarchy, and everyone is contributing to the family.

On the contrary, Jiang Peining felt a little guilty after only staying at home for a few days.

Moreover, for her, although she was no longer looking for work, the boredom of staying at home was no less than when she was looking for work outside.

Without Jiang Tang by my side, life is truly as lonely as snow.

If it only brings wealth, it can only offer a slight sense of comfort.

Ultimately, nothing is more important than a "scumbag man."

The phrase "having both a cat and a dog" in the modern urban context probably refers to having a cat and a loving "dog man" (a male companion who is affectionately known as a "dog man").

Jiang Peining has wanted to give up this daily "game" many times.

That way, she could easily regain her former status as someone above everyone else.

She could then, like in those silly online ads, "The Dragon King Returns."

In short, the points of enjoyment that Jiang Peining didn't understand in the past, she can now resonate with after experiencing real life.

Who wouldn't want to smash that arrogant HR person's head in?

But wouldn't that mean I'm admitting defeat to Jiang Tang?

Even if we don't admit defeat, if things continue to develop like this...

Jiang Peining was also gradually getting closer to being moved by Jiang Tang.

At some point, Jiang Peining suddenly realized that compared to Jiang Tang, her former competitive spirit had become less important.

Who would want to continue arguing with a man who treats you with all his heart?

Jiang Tang never mentioned the girls he liked, and even after he got a cell phone, he never took the initiative to contact them, always keeping his promise to each other.

He even set his phone password to Jiang Peining's birthday.

Even Jiang Peining's fingerprints were recorded; they held nothing back from her.

Jiang Peining still remembers that night when Jiang Tang suddenly grabbed her hand. The girl was startled at first, and then immediately became embarrassed and annoyed.

Jiang Tang didn't care about any of that, and just smiled as he let her press the button on the phone screen.

With the fingerprint scanned, the phone held no secrets for Jiang Peining.

Although Jiang Peining has the privileges to access any records and historical messages on this phone at any time.

But is it the same to look through things yourself and to have someone voluntarily and openly reveal everything about you?

Not to mention that since Jiang Tang arrived in this city, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to his family and life with Jiang Peining.

He devoted himself entirely to Jiang Peining.

It wasn't an act or a deliberate act, but rather a sincere attempt to connect with another heart that was initially somewhat cold but has gradually melted away.

He became the model boyfriend in everyone's eyes, giving his whole heart.

But Jiang Peining wasn't a dull idiot; how could she not understand?

A man as sentimental as him couldn't possibly forget Shi Xue and all the girls who were devoted to him...

Jiang Tang simply hid his vulnerable, sad, and lonely side.

But he was a burden to her, the burden she cherished most...

For the sake of their own mood, they force themselves to smile and work hard every day.

Gradually, such a thought also emerged in Jiang Peining's mind.

It shouldn't just be Jiang Tang who is working hard for the family and doing those arduous things for himself.

I... should also do something for Jiang Tang.

It's worth mentioning that Jiang Tang even transferred all the money he earned each day to Jiang Peining's account, keeping only a small amount for himself.

Normally, Jiang Tang would buy groceries after get off work, go home, and cook for himself.

Jiang Peining occasionally helps with things like chopping vegetables, lending a hand from the sidelines.

But this time, Jiang Peining is prepared to cook the meal herself.

When Jiang Tang returns home, he can smell the enticing aroma and enjoy a delicious meal.

However, the imagination was beautiful, but when Jiang Peining actually cooked it herself, she realized how difficult it was for Jiang Tang to do all of this so easily in the kitchen.

She had indeed helped Jiang Tang in the kitchen in the past, but mostly under his careful guidance, she did some very simple little things.

As time went by, Jiang Peining's original plan of four dishes and one soup was reduced to three dishes and one soup, and then, because she ruined one dish, it became two dishes and one soup...

Even with just these two dishes and a soup, the taste was far from what Jiang Peining had imagined.

Just as she was feeling discouraged, it was already noon.

Jiang Tang opened the door and went home as usual.

However, this time he called out to Jiang Peining at home with some concern.

"Peining, I smell something burning. Could there be a fire next door?"

He didn't suspect Jiang Peining at all; he was just worried about her safety, which is why he said that.

However, to Jiang Peining, it sounded as if Jiang Tang was deliberately mocking her.

The girl walked out of the kitchen, pursed her lips, and glanced at Jiang Tang with a wronged expression.

It wasn't a sharp "glare," but a "glance," which reveals the changes in Jiang Peining during her time with Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang then realized that the burnt smell was coming from his own kitchen, and he was immediately speechless.

But then he laughed.

Jiang Peining was stunned by his smile, as if her efforts had been recognized.

My mood finally brightened up.

Finally, Jiang Peining lowered her head and whispered something.

"...You're back, let's eat."

The simple words earned him a slightly tight hug from Jiang Tang.

That power seemed to want to knead itself tightly into his body and soul.

Even though the hug had ended long ago, Jiang Peining remained standing there, lost in thought.

Afterwards, Jiang Tang went to the kitchen and brought the two dishes and soup to the table, because he was afraid that Jiang Peining would get burned.

As for Jiang Peining, she scooped a full bowl of rice with a rice spoon from the kitchen, and another bowl was only half full, which was in line with the size of a young girl's appetite.

Jiang Tang happily accepted his portion of rice, and then, along with the dishes in front of him, ate the fragrant rice clean, looking quite pleased with himself.

Putting aside the feelings, Jiang Tang was quite moved by it.

Besides, Jiang Peining's cooking wasn't bad at all; it wasn't some so-called "devilish cuisine." It was more like the basic level of an average beginner's cooking.

Either the flavor wasn't strong enough and the ingredients were overcooked, or the flavor was too strong and the timing of adding the ingredients was wrong.

And if he remembers correctly, this should also be the first time Jiang Peining has cooked a meal for herself.

From the moment she had the idea of ​​doing something for Jiang Tang.

It can be said that she has come down from the high clouds, from a proud and noble person whom people look up to to a down-to-earth girl, an ordinary girl.

It retains its beauty in the slightest, but gains a heart that makes people feel close to it.

"Is it really...delicious?"

Jiang Peining blushed and asked Jiang Tang softly.

She was actually very happy to see Jiang Tang enjoying his meal.

And his answer.

"Of course... it's not that delicious yet."
