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

Jiang Peining's face stiffened.

Jiang Tang continued speaking.

"But I'm very happy and content!"

"And next time, it will taste even better, right?"

Jiang Tang gave Jiang Peining an encouraging look.

"Humph."

Jiang Peining lowered her head, not directly answering Jiang Tang's question.

But Jiang Tang, who knew Jiang Peining well, knew that deep down, the young girl was definitely still unconvinced.

He would definitely secretly vow: next time he'll let Jiang Tang taste his "power"!

357 The Tears of a Young Girl

Everything became self-evident and obvious without being spoken.

For the next period of time, Jiang Tang and Jiang Peining continued to maintain this way of getting along.

Jiang Tang went out to work, while Jiang Peining stayed home as a housewife. She learned to clean and cook delicious meals.

Although it was hard work, poverty, and exhaustion, there were also many happy moments.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a microcosm of the life that Jiang Peining longed for in the past, the life that "Jiang Tang and Shi Xue" had lived.

But in this cycle of happiness, Jiang Peining could not have imagined what Jiang Tangzheng was carrying all by himself.

The longing for the girls he loved, who also loved him deeply.

Pretending to be indifferent for one's own sake often leads to insomnia at night.

Including those girls in distant cities, Shi Xue, Lilith, An Qianxi, Liu Chuyun... They have spent the past two weeks in loneliness, pain and longing.

One's own happiness is built upon the suffering of others.

Jiang Peining used to think she was ruthless enough.

But now, even she couldn't help but waver.

Perhaps this is Jiang Tang's ultimate goal in using ordinary yet heartwarming daily life to "bring Jiang Peining down from the clouds to the mortal world."

She needs to develop empathy, to understand and appreciate Jiang Tang's love, and to reciprocate the love she gives to Jiang Tang.

At the same time, he extrapolated from his own experience to the fact that the other girls liked Jiang Tang no less than he did.

This gives you an idea of ​​how painful it must have been for them to have Jiang Tang taken away from them.

Jiang Peining could no longer accept Jiang Tang leaving her side, let alone being taken away from her.

However, whether it's Jiang Tang or the girls who stayed in Chengdu, this is exactly what they've been experiencing for so many days.

The pain that Jiang Tang endured behind the scenes also caused Jiang Peining considerable distress.

This made Jiang Peining realize that, under such circumstances, her actions were tantamount to leading to a bad ending where no one was happy.

When she was alone, she would hold the "lucky cat" and ask it in a soft, hoarse voice.

"Did I really do something wrong...?"

"If you like someone, you shouldn't cause them pain, right?"

The cat can't understand its owner's words, but it can clearly sense the owner's disappointment.

So it began to comfort its owner, meowing and rubbing its little head against Jiang Peining's palm, circling around her ankle.

Jiang Peining burst into laughter through her tears.

But then I thought sadly.

Even cats, as pets, know how to make their beloved owners happy.

But it's me, the one with richer emotions, the one who is human...

Why don't you know how to help the man you love relieve his fatigue and burdens, and stop him from suffering from insomnia and sadness?

Why not choose a better ending, an ending that makes everyone happy?

Actually, Jiang Peining knew about it too.

Jiang Tang must have hoped to win him over in this way.

Use "love" to move yourself.

It was indeed driven by utilitarian motives, and also for the sake of other women he liked.

But it wasn't deception; he always gave genuine feelings.

This is an open strategy, not a conspiracy.

The power of an open conspiracy lies in the fact that it is unsolvable and inescapable.

He took great care of himself and loved himself deeply.

What he hopes to receive is love in return, and understanding from love.

Jiang Peining understood this deeply.

They also fell into the net woven by Jiang Tang. It wasn't that they couldn't escape, but that they didn't want to, and thus they sank deeper and deeper.

However, the girl's stubbornness meant that it would take a considerable amount of time to resolve.

But Jiang Tang will not be discouraged or give up because of this. He will try his best to live and love Jiang Peining wholeheartedly.

Until it slowly filled her once empty heart.

Happiness can be found when you fill your space to the point where you no longer need to fight for possession.

He completely moved Jiang Peining, ultimately making her willing to accept Shixue, Lilith, An Qianxi... and all of them.

According to Jiang Tang's estimate, it will take at least another half month.

In that case, it would have been more than a month since he and Jiang Peining left Rongcheng.

However, Jiang Tang never expected that an unexpected event would allow him to achieve his goal ahead of schedule.

………………

It was a sunny and warm day.

The long-awaited sunshine in late autumn is something to cherish.

Unfortunately for Jiang Tang, this means he will have to work much harder today.

Because the bricks on the construction site were too hot to handle.

Yes, in fact, Jiang Tang has been deceiving Jiang Peining all along.

These days, tutoring jobs aren't so easy to find.

With policies emphasizing reducing academic burden, and the city recently cracking down on tutoring, the private tutoring industry has suffered another devastating blow.

So Jiang Tang's first day of work was actually following the information in the part-time job advertisement: handing out flyers, attracting customers to the newly opened store, and dressing up as a mascot to interact with passersby.

The tutor was simply telling Jiang Peining not to worry about what she said.

Although the store was willing to pay more than four figures to let Jiang Tang appear on screen for advertising.

But Jiang Tang remembered his jealous wife at home who wouldn't let him do this kind of work that involved selling his body, and he figured she wouldn't be happy with the money he earned this way.

Therefore, Jiang Tang rejected this condition. In the end, he still put on the heavy mascot costume and was drenched in sweat after half a day.

He worked for five hours in total, and his hourly wage was only fifteen yuan. He didn't even earn one hundred yuan.

However, for some reason, the female shop owner gave him an extra 100 yuan.

Perhaps they felt sorry for this handsome guy who seemed to have some mental issues?

Why do something so thankless and exhausting when there are plenty of other ways to make more money?

Jiang Tang thought to himself, "I didn't sell my body."

It was given to me voluntarily by others.

No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be considered a violation, right?

Besides, the family's savings were already running low because they had bought a Ragdoll cat, so Jiang Tang ultimately decided to accept the gift.

Meanwhile, on his way home, he discovered that a nearby construction site was hiring.

The hourly wage was a full forty silver dollars. Jiang Tang did a simple calculation: if he worked eight hours a day, wouldn't he earn three hundred and twenty dollars?

Isn't this much more profitable than dressing up as a mascot and jumping around?

It might be a little tiring, but Jiang Tang will treat it as a workout.

His optimistic attitude was the reason he was able to gradually influence Jiang Peining.

If even he becomes depressed and gives up, then there's absolutely no chance of him going back to Chengdu.

He also did not intend to tell Jiang Peining, who was at home, about this.

Instead, he worked quietly by himself.

He never intended to move Jiang Peining with his hardship and pitifulness.

That's why he made up the lie that he was a tutor; in reality, the boy was working hard at the construction site every day.

This explains why he has suddenly become thinner recently, his handsome face has darkened, and his appetite seems to have increased significantly.

What Jiang Tang truly hoped to use to move Jiang Peining was the warmth they shared in their daily interactions.

Besides, he wasn't planning to work on construction sites all the time.

Do you remember the novel that Jiang Tang serialized online?

If you go to work on a construction site, you're earning money through your own physical labor.

Serializing novels online means relying on your own intellect.

His novel is doing well and is about to be released. If the subscription rate is also good after the release, then...

Jiang Tang thought that he could give up the hard work on the construction site and stay at home to write novels full-time to make money.
