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

Miyamoto Maizo turned around and bowed very solemnly to Jiang Tang to express his gratitude.

The angle was almost parallel to his calves, demonstrating Miyamoto Maizo's excellent flexibility.

This is because in her country, gratitude is expressed by bowing, and the greater the bow, the deeper the gratitude.

Jiang Tang waved his hand, somewhat surprised.

"N-nothing, it's my turn."

Miyamoto Maizo blushed and stepped aside.

She still refused to leave, standing to the side carrying a heavy bag, her gaze lingering on Jiang Tang with a somewhat dazed look.

Jiang Tang remained calm and composed. He first placed some snacks and candies he had just selected on the cashier, then shifted his gaze, thought for a moment, and picked up a box of family planning products from the shelf next to him.

"One more box of these, please."

Jiang Tang was not embarrassed at all during the selection and purchase process; on the contrary, he was very calm and took it for granted.

And so, the awkward one became the other person.

Miyamoto Maizo's gaze was hesitant, her little head filled with confusion. Her smooth, flowing hair swayed naturally as she tilted her head slightly, the strands like light tassels.

“Okamoto…Okamoto? What’s that…”

?056 Looking Forward to the Future

This continued until Jiang Tang left with the things he had bought.

Miyamoto Maizo lingered in his direction until the figure disappeared from sight.

But the warmth of that moment spread, and even now one can still feel Lord Jiang Tang's gentleness.

A sweet smile lingered on her lips, almost shaped like a cat's mouth. The girl looked away, holding the food she had just bought, and prepared to go home.

Oh right, I also need to use my phone to ask my uncle what "Okamoto" is. It sounds like a Japanese word, but I've never seen it before.

Will the candy or toys be placed on the shelf near the checkout counter?

When I dialed the number, the other party addressed me with a respectful title.

"Young Miss, what are your orders?"

"Uncle Fujimoto, I want to ask, what is this 'Okamoto'?"

"..." A long silence fell on the other end of the phone.

Miyamoto Maizo blinked in confusion.

"Excuse me... why did you ask about this, Miss?"

The person referred to as 'Uncle Fujimoto' is one of the loyal subordinates of the main family who is currently taking care of Miyamoto Maizo in Chengdu.

"That's it, Lord Jiang Tang bought this, I'm very curious..."

"Young Miss's progress is incredibly fast!?"

"Or maybe we've misjudged him. Could Jiang Tang be the kind of bastard who would easily prey on young girls...?"

"You're not allowed to talk about Lord Jiang Tang like that!" Miyamoto Maizo huffed and puffed out her cheeks, looking like a cute little dolphin.

But what's the story behind Uncle Fujimoto saying his progress is "so fast"?

"Hey……"

It is indeed difficult to expect girls to remain rational when it comes to love.

Fujimoto hesitated for a long time, unsure whether to ask the head of the family for instructions.

But in the end, she believed that this was something the young lady had to go through on her path to adulthood, and chose to tell him frankly.

Having been raised in seclusion since childhood and isolated from the outside world, this young lady, who had no schooling experience, naturally missed out on necessary sex education courses.

Now, it's time for Miss Miyamoto to brush up on this essential knowledge.

We can't let her continue with this childish thinking. A child isn't something you can have just by holding hands and hugging, nor is she a free gift with a discount on Singles' Day. We have to teach this young lady some essential knowledge...

And contraceptive knowledge that is generally important, but less so in special cases like Miss and Jiang Tang, such as the function and usage of "Okamoto".

The reason it's not important is that, like many other families, the young lady's ultimate goal isn't even to marry Jiang Tang. In the face of family interests, such superfluous formalities can be completely discarded, and the goal is to fast forward to getting pregnant with Jiang Tang's child.

Fujimoto explained the usage of "Okamoto" in a serious tone over the phone, and shattered Miyamoto Maizo's long-held fantasy that "kissing will make you pregnant".

As the lesson continued, Miyamoto Maizo blushed so deeply that he almost wanted to disappear into a crack in the wall.

But that wasn't what embarrassed her even more.

There was a moment like that.

Miyamoto Maizo suddenly realized that since "Okamoto" was used for that kind of thing to prevent accidentally "getting pregnant".

So, Lord Jiang Tang bought it... for whom?

The moment this question popped into my mind.

All sounds around him seemed to disappear, and Miyamoto Maizo's eyes were vacant and dull.

The phone fell from her ear and hit the ground with a crisp "thud".

………………

That evening, Jiang Tang and Ye Shixue got together and discussed it.

The question is whether it's more cost-effective to rent or buy a house when going to university.

"Nonsense, of course we should buy a house, but the question is, can we afford it, Master? Maybe we should go to sleep early and dream about it. In my dreams, the houses are huge."

"Hmph, don't look down on me. Look at this."

Jiang Tang flicked his slightly long bangs, leaned against Shi Xue, opened his phone, and scrolled to his bank account balance, looking smug.

The original five-digit number has somehow increased to six digits, although the first digit is still one.

But that was still a huge sum of money for Jiang Tang and Shi Xue.

Even without looking, you can tell what a surprised expression the maid will have right now.

But after the initial surprise, she'll likely start having some strange ideas.

"Let's get this straight: I, your young master, have never lied, stolen, or robbed. I earn my money through my own abilities. So stop giving me that 'I look like I'm about to end up in jail' look."

"But... but suddenly there's... tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, a hundred thousand yuan in my account! How else can I possibly think about this?!"

Shi Xue clenched her fingers nervously. Her right eye, now blindfolded, emitted a soft pink glow in the darkness, like a dream.

"I'm not very bright, so I can't think of any way to make money... I just feel uneasy about holding money that I didn't earn with my own hands, and I don't want my owner to go astray..."

"But some people never work, yet they easily earn more money than an average person could earn in a lifetime... They feel very secure."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. This is the money I earned from working part-time at a bar."

"Bar..." Shi Xue couldn't help but furrow her brows again.

"I go to bars to drink and dance, but I'm a good man."

Jiang Tang's cheerful tone prompted Shi Xue to gently poke his cheek.

"You're kidding me... But what would you do to make so much money in a place like that?"

Jiang Tang took the opportunity to put his arm around the maid's waist, letting her rest her head on his shoulder. Her soft hair fell down, and Jiang Tang gently sniffed it; it was the comforting and reassuring scent of the shampoo he used at home.

“Selling alcohol, I make tens of thousands a night. I take a cut, and that's how much I accumulate over time.”

Jiang Tang always liked to hide half the truth when he spoke. He wouldn't tell Shi Xue that he needed to use his male charm to attract girls to buy him drinks.

Therefore, the most powerful lie is one in which each sentence is true, but when put together, it becomes a lie.

"Oh..." Shi Xue reluctantly accepted her master's explanation.

But then she remembered their initial discussion, and her smile turned slightly bitter.

"Even if the master has earned so much money, he'll probably still be far from being able to afford the down payment for a house in Rongcheng..."

"Can't I even think about it in advance? Shixue, I've always dreamed of having my own house, not too big, just sunny, where I can live with you, and we can have a cat. Every day we'll take care of and decorate every little detail, nurturing our love..."

"That's my wish too!" Shi Xue said without hesitation, her face flushed.

"I believe."

Jiang Tang looked at Shi Xue with tenderness, and both of their eyes were filled with longing for the future.

Moreover, Jiang Tang knew that this future... was actually not far off.

?057 I've decided it's you

When the college entrance examination results were released and available for inquiry, Jiang Tang was lying on the sofa reading a novel on his mobile phone.

With nothing to worry about, he was completely free after quitting his job at the bar.

All that's left to do is check your college entrance exam scores and then choose a suitable university.

We rented a house near the university, and Shixue and I moved there in advance during the holidays. We lived there, chubby and full of hope.

"Master! The grades are here! The grades are here! You're not allowed to touch them anymore!"

"Huh? Have the results come out yet?"

"They're out! In the parents' group I joined, everyone's showing off their kids' grades! It makes me...want to show off too!"

"..." Jiang Tang's lips twitched.

But theoretically speaking, Shixue is indeed his parent.

The teachers knew something about Jiang Tang's family situation, so from junior high school onwards, they did not require Jiang Tang's parents to attend the annual parent-teacher meetings.

Fortunately, Jiang Tang is a good student with no problems, so it doesn't matter if his parents don't attend the parent-teacher meeting.

And that's indeed the case. At parent-teacher conferences, if you're the parent of a good student, you can basically expect to doze off the whole time, as they won't mention you at all.

Once, Shi Xue suddenly had the idea to attend a parent-teacher conference for Jiang Tang, and the latter didn't seem to have any objections.

So she went, and came back with a radiant smile.

They said they got along really well with so-and-so's parents, that they even added them to the parents' group chat, and so on...
