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

Qiu Lengyan has gradually begun to give up any of her past stubbornness.

She began to trust the results of the genetic matching, believing that he was the right person, which was why he made her heart flutter and exuded a fatal attraction.

"The person closest to me is you."

Jiang Tang's response left Qiu Lengyan speechless for a moment.

"When you were on stage under the spotlight, I thought we would never cross paths."

"But now, you are right in front of me. The warmth of your hand once stained my tie, reminding me that you are not out of reach after all..."

Not only were they not out of reach, but if Jiang Tang got any closer, he could almost have zero-distance contact with Qiu Lengyan.

As for negative distance... wait a minute, what am I suddenly thinking?

Jiang Tang didn't mean to tease Qiu Lengyan; he just felt that this woman had been kind to him for no reason, and in response, he shouldn't act so coldly.

But the opposite of indifference is not ambiguity.

Sensing the strange atmosphere between himself and Qiu Lengyan, Jiang Tang suddenly stepped back, widening the distance between them.

"Sorry, I suddenly said something strange. Forget about it."

"The clothes you asked me to try on fit perfectly. I'll change out of them first."

"No, no." But Qiu Lengyan only vaguely refused.

Moreover, she didn't find those words strange at all.

On the contrary, she felt close to a boy for the first time.

As he said, he seems to always be in the spotlight, in the distant filter of others, more than an idol, but at the same time, he can't step into any intimate relationship.

Never before have our hearts felt so close, so close to each other...

Another person who is incredibly important to me.

049 It's more comfortable to find me.

Qiu Lengyan spent too long in Jiang Tang's fitting room.

The store staff were almost starting to worry that a short video of what happened inside the fitting room of a certain brand's store would circulate online in the following days...

That quality would definitely break the limits of human male-female short videos.

Although Jiang Tang was dressed poorly, his looks were undeniable, even better than many of the models the shop assistants had seen.

In reality, most of those models are just tall and have a large frame, making them suitable as clothes hangers. Their faces don't compare to their figures; they need filters and subsequent retouching to look good.

But Jiang Tang is different. He is so perfect that people think he is a mannequin sculpture in a clothing store that has come to life, or a masterpiece of a historical sculptor.

As for Qiu Lengyan, she was wearing a mask that only revealed her eyes, and her makeup and appearance were different from the everyday photos she usually presents on online platforms to maintain her popularity as a celebrity.

So no one could recognize her, or at most they would think she looked somewhat similar to that big star.

Some even speculated that Qiu Lengyan was a social media influencer who had undergone plastic surgery to resemble herself.

Qiu Lengyan finally emerged from Jiang Tang's fitting room, her high heels clicking on the floor, the smooth marble reflecting her eyes as she looked down.

The sense of disorientation was all too obvious.

Her clothes were neat and tidy, which dispelled the shop assistant's worries that a short video might circulate online in a few days.

But why is there a slight sense of regret in my heart?

"Dear customer, please take a short break here. We have more..." This was followed by the routine recommendations.

Qiu Lengyan had no time to spare for these annoying salespeople. She went to the VIP lounge and waited quietly, or perhaps not so quietly, for Jiang Tang to reappear.

The surroundings were quiet, but my heart was uneasy.

"It's not like I'm preparing for a speech or doing anything formal, but I'm still a little nervous wearing a suit."

Jiang Tang put on his warm and welcoming smile.

If you're talking about nervousness, his demeanor has absolutely nothing to do with nervousness; on the contrary, it exudes an unusually ostentatious confidence.

Qiu Lengyan stared at him, slightly stunned. After a moment of blankness, she coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment.

"So what? It's fine anyway. You're never serious, so why not make up for it with clothes?"

"I'm being very serious, okay? I'm seriously having dinner with my sister, shopping with her, and now I'm going to take Sister Qiu home."

Do you want me to leave?

Qiu Lengyan's unconventional words left even the seasoned Jiang Tang momentarily speechless.

"No, it's just that I have to go home too."

"Spend time with your girlfriend."

"Yeah, she's probably still hungry." Jiang Tang smiled helplessly.

It's like a worry, but also like showing off.

I'm so envious of their relationship.

One girlfriend always thinks about her family and wants to bring back any delicious food she eats outside. The other girlfriend can't even eat when her boyfriend is away; she'd rather go hungry than eat a full meal alone.

It almost makes you believe in love—provided that Jiang Tang isn't having dinner with other women outside.

So Qiu Lengyan felt helpless and confused.

She was starting to waver.

I wonder if I will end up like Jiang Tang's current girlfriend.

Although she and Jiang Tang are still deeply in love, she has him, and he loves her wholeheartedly.

But... she had to accept the fact that the man she loved was having an affair with another woman.

Jiang Tang's girlfriend may have been dissatisfied and resisted, but none of that could compare to how important Jiang Tang was to her.

She was afraid, just as Qiu Lengyan was afraid at that moment.

Fearing that Jiang Tang would leave her, she had no choice but to keep him by constantly yielding to his bottom line.

………………

In Jiang Tang's mind, Qiu Lengyan was categorized as a "strange woman".

She wanted to be a "bad girl," but she was hesitant and unclear about how to be one.

Just like in the fitting room, Jiang Tang couldn't help but flirt with her when he had a fit.

What should a typical "bad girl" do?

Come on up to me, kiss me!

Anyway, I won't lose money.

Jiang Tang wasn't narcissistic; it was genuinely true that many people were more attracted to his body.

Jiang Tang himself was quite indifferent to women.

The premise is that you don't provoke him, otherwise he will definitely let that woman laugh and tease him, and cry out "No!"

Shi Xue understood this feeling all too well.

After leaving the mall, Jiang Tang hailed a taxi, intending to take Qiu Lengyan home as planned.

Girls should not travel alone. The boy accompanying her should take care of her until he or she is sure that she has reached a safe place.

However, Qiu Lengyan declined Jiang Tang's offer to accompany her before getting into the car.

"You should go back and be with your girlfriend."

The driver's ears perked up immediately upon hearing this.

Jiang Tang smiled slightly; he had nothing to be embarrassed about.

On the contrary, I find it quite pleasant to be able to get along with Qiu Lengyan so openly and honestly.

If she weren't an idol, or the kind of woman who was too far removed from him, Jiang Tang might have been able to become friends with her.

"Goodbye." Jiang Tang waved goodbye casually.

"Um... goodbye."

Qiu Lengyan hugged her arms tightly, an unconscious reaction to feeling lonely.

But Jiang Tang didn't realize that his attention was no longer on Qiu Lengyan.

Only the woman, gazing at his cold profile through the car window, suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

Just as the ride-hailing service was about to start, Qiu Lengyan suddenly called out to Jiang Tang.

"Hey! Can I still call you in the future?"

"Are you angry with me?"

Jiang Tang rolled down the car window and saw the woman standing at the intersection, her figure somewhat thin. He was slightly taken aback.

"Just don't tell anyone else. Don't call me between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., I need to sleep."

Qiu Lengyan lowered her eyes and nodded, behaving so obediently that it was unlike her usual self.

Jiang Tang asked the driver to wait a little longer, as he had something else to say to Qiu Lengyan.

The driver gave an OK sign, and then Jiang Tang got out of the car.

He whispered in Qiu Lengyan's ear, and the sudden closeness made Qiu Lengyan's heart race. He exuded a faint, pleasant, and refreshing scent.

She couldn't quite put her finger on what it was, but this ruined Qiu Lengyan's original plan to buy perfume for Jiang Tang.

Because she really liked the natural fragrance emanating from Jiang Tang.

Am I your first one?

"W-what..."

"What I'm trying to say is that sometimes, even if you have a need, it's better not to seek help from strangers."

“Actually, it’s quite comfortable to handle things yourself.” Jiang Tang’s face flushed slightly. He didn’t know why he suddenly had the idea to say these things to Qiu Lengyan.

Perhaps because I had witnessed her stunning beauty, I instinctively hoped that such a pure and aloof woman, like a reed, wouldn't go astray.
