At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

I thought he wouldn't be back anytime soon, but to my surprise, the Lin sisters were quite gentle. They only ate him six times before letting him go. This allowed him to still have the energy to drive home before he was completely exhausted, which was truly rare.

"Looks like I need to take action."

Opportunity is right in front of you. If you don't take the initiative, you will become a loser, a vixen with nothing, and never regain your former glory.

Although Jiang Nai said no and didn't want to, her body was already telling the truth, and she quickened her pace, swaying her hips as she walked straight towards the man.

"Xiao Che! You're back!"

With a smile plastered on her face, she seductively approached the exhausted Su Che.

"Hmm. Nana, I'm really done for this round. I know you're number 8, but you have to wait for me for a day, okay? I always say I need to rest, but I've never managed to rest properly. Today... I probably don't even have a drop left. Please wait for me."

"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Am I that kind of person? Xiao Che, I know that you no longer pamper me. I'm just a tool that you can discard after you've used me. I'm just a expendable product that's useless after you've taught your students and trained your apprentices."

So, I understand. I won't waste any more of Xiao Che's time and energy... I... just want to chat with you, to talk to you. That's all.

Jiang Nai appeared harmless, and what she said seemed to make sense, leaving Su Che unsure whether she was actually using a skill or not.

"You really don't need anything else? Just chatting with me is enough for you?"

"Yes, yes. I am usually like this, but Xiao Che always thinks of me as a promiscuous woman, which is completely wrong. I am actually the most conservative and traditional one."

The vixen, with her beautiful eyes wide open, was spouting lies, leaving Su Che completely bewildered.

Hesitantly, he said, "Alright then, since you've put it that way, come inside with me first. I plan to rest in the study for the day. You can stay with me, but you're not allowed to touch me."

"Okay, okay! No problem!"

Jiang Nai nodded vigorously, even raising three fingers to swear, "If I ever touch Xiao Che, I will... I will never be Xiao Che's mistress again! I will never be Xiao Che's third party again! Yes! I am fully prepared!"

"...What kind of oath is this?"

Helpless, Su Che, supporting his aching back, led her upstairs.

To be honest, he was really at his limit today. If Nana really had even the slightest bad intention, he might just be worn down to death by her, his life force completely depleted.

This is a situation he does not wish to experience.

"So, what would you like to talk about?"

He led her into the study, leaving the door slightly ajar, and then spoke.

"Let's talk about... Xiao Che's future plans. I want to give Xiao Che some ideas and see how I can provide you with some creative inspiration."

"What are the plans for the future?"

Upon hearing this, Su Che nodded thoughtfully and then gestured for Jiang Nai to come over.

Jiang Nai closed the door behind her with perfect ease, then walked to the bedside and sat on the edge of it.

"Xiao Che, have you decided on the topic for your next writing?" she asked.

"Think about it."

Su Che said with absolute certainty, "I plan to write about things around me, things I'm good at, and how I can use artistic techniques to process what I've seen firsthand into interesting stories. That's the route I intend to take."

"Really?"

Jiang Nai's eyes darted around, and a wicked thought began to brew. "So, from my objective point of view, it seems that the answer to the most frequent occurrences around Xiao Che is already clear."

"is it?"

"Yeah, and I think my answer will definitely be different from Xiao Che's. After all, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things more clearly."

"You said."

Su Che is always open to anything that can help with his creative process.

He looked at Jiang Nai, trying to glean some insightful perspectives.

"Mmm." She said, "Since Xiao Che came to this house, I've noticed that half of what you experience every day is routine, and the other half is routine."

"Ok?"

“What I mean is, Xiao Che will do serious things during the day, but at night, Xiao Che is still doing serious things... I mean, things that are beyond your control.”

Jiang Nai leaned forward, her face alluringly close to his, gazing tenderly into his eyes, and said, "I told you before, didn't I? I've always envied the 'Seven Colors' team, because they didn't experience being rejected by you; they became your teammates directly. As for me, even with all my yearning, I can't get a single promise from you."

"..."

"I know, Xiao Che dislikes that I wasn't perfect enough before, not as cute as they were at the beginning. But, but, that's not fair, is it?"

I'm trying my best to change, I'm desperately trying to change, but Xiao Che, even after I've changed, am I still only fit to be your "test subject"?

Even if I give up a lot of other jobs, even if I devote myself entirely to your career, I still can't... in a slightly more formal way, walk alongside you for the rest of my life?

"...Wait a minute, Nana, calm down."

Realizing that Jiang Nai's emotions were becoming increasingly agitated, Su Che became even more anxious.

In fact, he had known all along what Jiang Nai cared about; all she wanted was a simple "we can be together."

But in this world, many things are decided, or rather, condemned, from the very first glance or first impression.

At the time, I wasn't in the mood to form a team. When Nana made her request at that point, no matter how sweet-looking she was or how skilled she was, as a student, I couldn't possibly muster the courage to agree.

Unfortunately, after that point, when I came to university, Yu tide, a senior student, took over the band role first.

Her teammates were filled by An Qing, Yuan Xiao, Gu Zhi, and Xiao Xiao, so there was no place for Jiang Nai at all.

This resulted in Jiang Nai's entire struggle and forbearance turning into wishful thinking, and her feelings becoming unrequited love, which is truly tragic.

"I understand what you mean."

Su Che looked at her pitiful expression and felt sorry for her.

"We've known each other since we were little. You know me, and I know you. But time can't be turned back. It's already quite an achievement that our relationship has come this far."

Nana, you are amazing. You are very self-disciplined and extremely tough on yourself. You can endure pain that most people cannot bear. That is what I admire about you.

But as you can see, I'm with the cat day and night. I can't get away from it. I have endless things to do and emotional debts to repay.

This might have been a scheme orchestrated by my father, but regardless, he succeeded. I'm stuck in the mud, unable to pull myself out, unable to take another step. Nana, how can I, in this state, still accompany you to make music, play in a band, and develop along this path with you?

He paused, a hint of murderous intent flashing across his face, and said resolutely, "If I cannot change course and defeat my father to some extent, then my entire life, my soul, and my values ​​will collapse in an instant."

I would feel that I shouldn't exist in this world. I have no merits, nothing remarkable about me, and I'm inferior to him in every way. So why don't I just give up everything, sever this blood relation?

"Xiao Che..."

Realizing that his words seemed even more extreme than her own, Jiang Nai couldn't help but raise her slender arm and gently stroke his cheek with her fingers.

"Your obsession far surpasses mine, Xiao Che."

She sighed softly and gave him a warm hug.

"But it's okay, I understand your predicament, and I really don't want anything else tonight. I just want to hug you, I just want to tell you not to be anxious, not to be sad. No matter what, I will always be with you. With me here, you really don't need to worry too much."

She pulled him down to the ground and locked him tightly in her arms—

"I joined 'Hana-rei' before because I wanted to get back at you... I'm sorry, Xiao Che, I know it was wrong. Although it's impossible to play music with you again no matter what, it's okay. Even if you only use me as a 'test subject,' even if I'm just a tool you use once and then throw away, I can still enjoy it and be as content as possible."

As she spoke, her eyes became unfocused.

Instinctively, I pressed my lips against it.

"Nana...?"

Su Che certainly wouldn't push her away under such circumstances; in an instant...

She lacks a sense of security and self-worth.

He lacks a sense of stability and a sense of breathing.

At this moment, everything erupted completely.

Two people, both feeling empty, found a kindred spirit.

Her exquisite, sharp nails dug into the flesh of his arm, but he remained expressionless, numb, and continued to plow like a divine ox.

In truth, knowing all the secrets, she understood perfectly well—

[Xiao Che's herbal tea has, in a sense, transformed his body, making him much stronger in all aspects compared to before drinking the first cup.]

He's not someone a normal man can compare to now. In fact, I have a feeling... I think that in some ways, even his beloved father might not be a fraction of him... But he seems oblivious to this, always getting stuck on trivial matters. Sigh...

Jiang Nai sighed softly, lost in thought—

"Perhaps, as his exclusive test subject, I also have a role that the other cats can't replicate? Is that so?"

……

Chapter 320 Bringing a Beautiful Girl Back to Her Hometown

As the emotional mentor to the two beautiful girls, Jiang Nai is absolutely uncompromising in setting an example.

Her concept of "half-pushing and half-accepting" was indeed executed smoothly and skillfully on Su Che.

She easily broke through his defenses and advanced deep into his pajamas.

"Xiao Che, tell me the truth, am I actually pretty good too?"

"..."

"Besides enjoying tempting you and being thoroughly tested by you, I don't seem to have any other hobbies..."

"what."

"Being able to lie here with you like this is the perfect date for me. I don't pursue the romance that young girls dream of, nor do I crave your true feelings or to find true love. I think it's fine as it is now, it's just a little bit of a pity that I can't always be watched by you."

Jiang Nai's words carried a hint of sadness, and her expression was filled with anxiety and uncertainty, as if this was the last time she would enjoy it, and that once she did, it would be gone forever.

Su Che is very susceptible to this; he will show a slightly gentler side to women who are truly in a state of unease.

In fact, he knew better than anyone else that the two of them would not end up together; at most, they would only maintain a secret relationship.

But he overlooked the fact that Jiang Nai didn't think that way. Even if she was a secret lover, Jiang Nai was willing to continue doing it until she couldn't anymore.

"Xiao Che, once I have a child, I will have nothing to fear. It's like a reassurance, and it's more important to me than anything else."

And the only person in the world who can reassure me is you. I want your reassurance, but you always hesitate and are unwilling to give it to me…

"..."
