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

"……understood."

Will you do it again next time?

"I won't... I won't do it again next time!"

Almost blurting out her true feelings, Mu Yuqing hurriedly changed her words.

However, Jiang Tang didn't expect to believe the girl's verbal promises.

A sorrowful light still lingered in his eyes, and his bad mood was written all over his face.

Mu Yuqing originally thought that her meddling would at least help Jiang Tang recover some of his mood, even if he was angry, it would be better than being sad and silent, which would also make her feel sad.

Jiang Tang actually knew her feelings, and he also tried to make himself feel better by punishing her—a sadist is really scary...

But he failed. What he gained from Mu Yuqing could not outweigh what he lost because of An Qianxi.

His heart felt like it was missing a piece, impossible to fill; he could only feel the emptiness and sadness.

"I have to go now……"

The healing he received from the two sisters, Mu Yuqing and Mu Yunyi, should be enough to sustain him for a while.

Although generally speaking, no one would consider this a form of healing...

"Are we leaving already? Jiang Jiang, why don't you stay the night?"

Jiang Tang glanced at her pitiful little chest, which earned him a shameful yet resentful look from her.

Compared to her peers, Mu Yuqing's figure is actually quite good; at least her buttocks are top-notch, as Jiang Tang could tell from both their shape and feel.

The only slight disappointment is her chest. It has recently shown some signs of development, but obviously, you can't become a big fat person overnight, and it won't grow into a big cow in a few days.

Jiang Tang wants to seek a cure.

What could be more soothing than your own maid's face wash?

Moreover, he hadn't told Shixue that he was going to stay out overnight and that she would worry if he came back late.

"Jiang Jiang...you're a bad person!"

Mu Yuqing showed a pitiful little expression, and then Jiang Tang pinched her cheeks like he was kneading a rag doll.

"I've never said I'm a good person." Jiang Tang squeezed it, then let go, and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He left Mu Yuqing's side, his figure swaying slightly.

"Can I take the day off tomorrow? I'll make it up later. I want to get some rest."

"...Of course, Jiangjiang can stay as long as she wants, but even if she doesn't need tutoring, she can come to my house anytime..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tang was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat dazed by the trust placed in him.

Even though he hadn't given Mu Yuqing much, she was willing to be devoted to him.

"……I see."

Although this place will still not be the first safe haven he thinks of when he is frustrated and depressed.

But when people want to escape something, the place where the two sisters, Mu Yuqing and Mu Yunyi, went might bring a brief moment of peace to Jiangtang.

Mu Yuqing slipped on her cute bear slippers and escorted Jiang Tang all the way to the gate of the courtyard.

Mu Yunyi followed behind her sister like a little tail, but her eyes were always fixed on Jiang Tang's back.

Only after he disappeared from sight did he reveal a look of loss and dejection.

………………

Liu Chuyun's bar is a great place to go. You can listen to music and drink, get yourself drunk, and then you can stop thinking about anything and leave everything to your future self.

But Jiang Tang was just passing by, and seeing the decadent lights inside, he lost the desire to go in.

It seems that since she resigned, Liu Chuyun has been planning to turn the original quiet bar into a high bar?

However, none of this concerned Jiang Tang, and he wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that this change was related to his departure.

He obediently walked home, taking a neither too fast nor too slow step, avoiding the lights as he went.

When I returned to Shixue's side, it was only 9:30.

He knocked on the door, and when it was unlocked from the inside, he pushed it open and hugged Shixue tightly as she ran to open the door for him with light steps.

The latter's bright eyes widened slightly, her smile undiminished, but it was clear from her expression that she was bewildered yet completely accepting of her master's sudden enthusiasm.

Before Jiang Tang returned, Shi Xue had originally wanted to tease him a little, saying something like, "Why is Master back so late?" But under this embrace, any thoughts or ideas Shi Xue had about this vanished like smoke.

"Master, why did you suddenly... Silly master, I won't run away, you don't need to hug me so tightly~"

Jiang Tang held Shi Xue very tightly, but all his strength was used on himself, his whole body remained still, only his fists were clenched until they were almost red, for fear of hurting her.

Whether you run away or not has nothing to do with how tightly I hug you...

Jiang Tang's voice sounded like someone who was drunk but still insisted on reasoning with others.

Upon hearing this, Shi Xue was not annoyed, and her smile remained unchanged.

"If I run away, will my owner hold me very, very tightly?"

Shi Xue would be content with just one "yes" from her master.

But his response was astonishing.

"Don't run!"

Raising his voice several octaves more than usual, Jiang Tang's tone was like a child clutching his beloved possession, ready to fight anyone who tried to take it from him!

"How domineering of you! I won't run away!"

Shi Xue was both angry and amused. She gently punched Jiang Tang's shoulder with her little fist. How could she break free from the young master's strong shoulders and arms? And how could anyone bear to break free?

"It's just a hypothetical situation, like assuming I don't like my master—it's simply impossible!"

After massaging her shoulders, Shi Xue slowly lowered her hands and then wrapped them around her master's waist. She remained silent, listening quietly to the sound of the night wind.

The sensitive and perceptive Shixue probably realized that something had happened tonight that had saddened her master.

Rather than nagging and digging into the details, the only thing she wanted to do to comfort her owner was to give him a hug.

If possible, Shi Xue would also like his master to bury his face in his chest.

Because Shixue remembered that her master had said that his bear had the magic to heal everything!

When Jiang Tang said those words, he naturally received a flurry of playful punches from Shi Xue.

But after the hammering, there was still a burial. Shi Xue would be very shy and ticklish, and Jiang Tang's restless actions would make her giggle and quickly become weak and powerless. At that time, Jiang Tang would end up holding Shi Xue.

In the quiet night, only the sound of cicadas could be heard, chirping and chirping.

What is captured in time is not just photographs, but also enduring affection.

?084 made me laugh.

Shi Xue had imagined such a scene before.

As night deepens, under the bright light at my workbench, I hold my paintbrush and concentrate intently on completing my draft.

Suddenly, a soft blanket was draped over my shoulders, and along with the blanket came an embrace from behind.

The young master rested his chin on his shoulder and discussed the plot and progress of the manuscript with great interest, which was enjoyable for both of them.

When the conversation turned to something interesting, they both laughed, and then, without realizing it, the atmosphere became ambiguous. The night had gradually deepened to the point that continuing to work would be a waste. The moonlight outside the window was bright, but it couldn't illuminate the beautiful women.

And now... my imagination has become reality!

Although there are slight differences, they are minor!

Initially, after Shi Xue welcomed her master home, she sensed that her master was in a low mood. Instead of asking her why, she brewed a pot of hot tea, filled a cup, and quietly returned to her workbench to continue chatting and connecting with her new friends and bigwigs in the comic industry. Of course, she also had some inspirations, which she temporarily recorded in her phone's notepad. The girl's career had just begun, and she was sure to be busy from now on.

However, this does not mean that Shi Xue was only focused on her career and neglected her master's behavior.

On the contrary, it was because Shixue knew her master very well that what her master needed now was not the kind of comfort and attention that would only cause trouble.

All he needed was a cup of hot tea, a quiet atmosphere, and the time it took for the tea to cool.

The master will gradually figure out some things, things that Shi Xue will not presume to make for the master, but will definitely stand on the master's side and accept completely.

She quietly carried out her communications and work, while Jiang Tang sat behind the maid, drinking tea. His mood was like the tea leaves in the tea, initially churning and bubbling, but later slowly sinking to the bottom and becoming completely calm.

When you go to drink tea again, the tea is no longer scalding hot, but just the right warm temperature.

Then came the scene Shi Xue had imagined: it was getting late, and it wasn't time to turn on the air conditioning at home yet. In general, Shi Xue had already developed the habit of not turning on the air conditioning to save on electricity bills, so even though she was a little cold wearing only a single layer of clothing, she just sat at her workbench without making any extra movements.

When the heart is busy with what it loves, it is burning with passion, and the coldness in the body seems to go unnoticed.

The maid didn't seem to care, but Jiang Tang felt a pang of heartache.

Jiang Tang then brought Shi Xue a thin but sufficient fleece blanket, draped it over her body, and then gently embraced her.

Jiang Tang chatted with her about the comic convention that day, speaking in a relaxed tone. He also told Shi Xue that Qian Yu was the first person to buy the comic.

Shi Xue immediately declared that her master was practically her lucky charm!

If it weren't for the appreciation of Teacher Qianyu, the two of them would probably have lost money at the anime convention today.

Although we've sold out two hundred comic books and still lost a few hundred dollars—but not "Kansai"!

There are still two days left in the comic convention tomorrow and the day after. Shi Xue has already renewed her booth rental with the organizers and placed the next order with the factory. She will soon break even and even make a profit!

Despite the late hour, Shixue's expression remained slightly excited as she talked about these things.

She took her master's hand and looked up to meet his gaze.

"Speaking of which, after the anime convention, Ms. Chiba said she would take some time to visit us! We can't exactly receive her here... That's my only worry."

Jiang Tang understood that the small rented room was already cramped for just two people, and there was really no space or room to entertain guests.

"How about we move? Let's go near Tianfu University and look at apartments in the next few days. We'll choose one that's close to the school and has a small rooftop garden and balcony."

Jiang Tang smiled, but his gaze was lowered, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Upon hearing this, Shi Xue's expression first showed uncontrollable joy, but then she immediately composed herself as if remembering something, blinking her heterochromatic eyes and murmuring.

"Wouldn't that be too expensive! And it's right next to the university town, the rent for a month..."

As long as two conditions are met—one being at night and the other being alone with Young Master Jiang Tang—Shi Xue usually doesn't wear an eye patch, revealing her sickly yet beautiful pink eyes.
