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

Jiang Tang didn't know what to say, but the girl's hands were soft and intimate, and he couldn't help but smile.

I don't know if it was because of An Qianxi's sudden burst of humor, or something else.

"I'm a little sleepy, but I can't sleep alone."

"Then wait for me to come back."

"Ah."

Jiang Tang quickly washed the dishes, dried his hands with a paper towel, but the coolness of the water still lingered.

When he returned to An Qianxi's bedroom, the ceiling light had been turned off and replaced with a wall lamp that emitted a soft, sea-blue glow.

The girl lay quietly on her bed, her eyes closed, looking like a mermaid sleeping in the deep sea.

Jiang Tang knew she wasn't asleep, so he sat down by her bedside.

An Qianxi's breathing suddenly became rapid. She stretched out a hand from under the covers, opened her palm, and clenched her fists.

Jiang Tang had no choice but to take her hand.

An Qianxi's breathing then became steady again.

Jiang Tang thought An Qianxi would play tricks and deliberately refused to go to sleep.

But he didn't have any good way to cure her.

We could only wait for the night to deepen and for the clock on the wall to point to the number eleven.

If he doesn't come home any later, it will be considered staying out all night, and Shixue will be worried.

Just then, An Qianxi suddenly called out urgently.

"Jiang Tang..."

"What's wrong? I'm here." He replied without thinking.

But when Jiang Tang turned around and saw An Qianxi's peaceful and beautiful sleeping face...

He then realized that the girl had fallen asleep without him noticing.

What I just shouted out was sleep talking.

Why do I even dream about myself?

Reality is hard enough.

Do I have to keep hurting you in my dreams?

Jiang Tang admitted that he felt soft-hearted and sorry for her.

Especially the moment he pulled his hand away from An Qianxi's palm.

He turned off the wall lamp and silently said "goodnight" to himself.

Then they left.

………………

"Jiang Jiang! Jiang Jiang!"

The sudden shouts interrupted Jiang Tang's recollection.

He looked up and realized that he had unknowingly passed by the villa of the Mu sisters, Mu Yuqing and Mu Yunyi.

"..." This is really a headache.

I'm in a hurry to get home and be with Shixue.

Despite this, Jiang Tang, looking troubled, still reached out and waved to Mu Yuqing, who was on the rooftop terrace of the villa.

What are you doing in a place like that?!

His voice wasn't loud, but fortunately the villa area was eerily quiet, and there wasn't any familiar car noise from the nearby streets. Any human voice would be amplified, so Mu Yuqing was able to hear it.

This group of wealthy people created a paradise in the bustling city center.

Jiang Tang was a man from Wuling who had mistakenly entered this place.

"Let's look at the stars!"

She casually uttered naive words.

Jiang Tang then noticed the telescope next to her.

It looks expensive; this guy's enjoyment is too extravagant.

No... Could it be related to Mu Yunyi?

Jiang Tang suddenly recalled his conversation with Mu Yunyi.

Immediately afterwards, he tried to find Mu Yunyi's figure, because in his memory, the two sisters were usually inseparable, as Mu Yunyi was a girl who was used to obeying her older sister's orders and did not have much of her own opinion.

Sure enough, he noticed a small, soft "claw" on Mu Yuqing's shoulder.

Mu Yunyi was nervously and shyly clinging to her sister's shoulder, her figure overlapping with hers, not daring to show herself.

But she was the one who discovered Jiang Tang's existence first.

But let's leave the difficult task of greeting to the naturally outgoing older sister.

"Jiang Jiang, do you want to come up and look at the stars? It's really cool!"

"No, I'm going home."

Jiang Tang left those words behind and decisively turned to leave.

"Alright then, see you next week, my Jiangjiang~"

As Mu Yuqing said this, she reached out and patted her younger sister's bottom.

"Hi!" A surprised and shy gasp came from behind, though only Mu Yuqing could hear it.

"Say goodbye to your brother Jiang Tang! You have no manners at all."

"...Yes, sister." Mu Yunyi lowered her head in shame and humility.

Goodbye, Brother Jiang Tang!

They made their own voice heard.

Jiang Tang heard this, waved to Mu Yunyi, and then left.

It seems that the two sisters, Mu Yuqing and Mu Yunyi, are truly immersed in stargazing.

Otherwise, they would definitely try to keep Jiang Tang here.

Or rather, Mu Yuqing would definitely do that.

She turned back to adjust the telescope's precision, while Mu Yunyi finally dared not hide behind her sister and watched Jiang Tang's back from afar until it disappeared.

"Speaking of which, what is Jiang Jiang doing here so late?"

"elder sister……"

"I asked you a question, not to call me 'sister'!"

"I'm sorry! What I wanted to say was... last time, when Brother Jiang Tang took me out for a walk, we met an older sister."

"They seemed to know each other, so..."

"So you're saying Jiang Tang came here to see that older sister?"

Mu Yuqing withdrew her gaze from the stars, her eyes suddenly darkening.

"What does that older sister look like?"

"Tall, fair-skinned, wearing sportswear..."

"Your description is too ordinary. Oh well, never mind. But if Jiang Jiang came from over there..."

Mu Yuqing's gaze followed her words, moving to the path Jiang Tang had taken.

"Then, I can probably guess... who that older sister is."

040 Confrontation

Imagine a man returning home late at night with what looks like a hickey on the corner of his lip.

How would the women in the family react?

Standing with hands on hips, looking angry?

Indeed, there was a moment when Shi Xue truly felt that way.

But the next moment, before Jiang Tang could even try to argue, she herself deflated.

"It's good that you're back."

Her nose tingled, and she rushed forward to throw herself into her owner's arms.

"...It's okay for you to get angry at me occasionally."

Jiang Tang felt somewhat guilty.

As for the pre-prepared excuses, they now flowed away with shame, like ice melting into water.

He put his arm around the girl's shoulder and looked at her slender white legs trembling slightly beneath her snow-white dress.

"How could I bear to..."

Ye Shixue's eyes were filled with tears.

She sniffed Jiang Tang's scent, then sobbed even louder.

"Ugh... Master, go take a shower first. I... I'll go cook something for you."

Did you go to take a shower because you didn't want to smell the scent of other girls on your body anymore?

Although Shi Xue was very understanding of Jiang Tang, she still had the petty jealousy that girls usually have.

Or rather, if it weren't for that, there would be a big problem.

This is precisely how Shixue shows that she cares about Jiang Tang.

"No, I don't have much of an appetite right now."
