"Xiao Yu, when did you learn acupuncture?"
On the way back, Li Kexin still felt like she was dreaming.
Her stinky Little Junior Brother had become a healer, could manipulate needles with qi, was appreciated by a Master of National Medicine, and had even received the inheritance of Wu, Master of National Medicine?
She wasn't dreaming, was she?!
"Ding, the host has received a reward: Realm increased to Foundation Establishment Fifth Level, obtained magic item: 'Fantasy Cloud'"
"Fantasy Cloud"
"Effect: Can check others' compositions and see their fantasy scenes."
"Oh my fantasy time!" Jiang Yu exclaimed.
"I'm asking you a question," Li Kexin pouted unhappily, reaching out to pinch Jiang Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
As expected of a woman from Wolf Fang, her hand speed was incredibly fast.
However, now that he was at the Foundation Establishment Fifth Level, how could Jiang Yu let Li Kexin pinch him?
"Ah, you're getting more and more presumptuous lately."
Li Kexin pulled her hand back as if shocked by electricity, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
Yet, they also held a hint of spring water, making her appear slightly flustered.
Jiang Yu helplessly said, "Ah? Is that my fault too?"
Old auntie, how unappealing!
"Smart mouth."
"I'm very hurt, okay? Touched by an auntie-aged woman, boo-hoo-hoo..."
"Xiao Yu! I'm going to tell your mom!"
Li Kexin pursed her lips and turned her head away, her earlobes visibly reddened.
Jiang Yu took out the "Fantasy Cloud," intending to test its effect.
"Composition: Large car crushing small horse (severe)"
"Stinky brat... What auntie-aged? I'm only five years older than you!"
"But, I didn't expect... We were just kids playing house together before."
"So annoying... Li Kexin, Li Kexin, what are you thinking? Calm down, calm down..."
"Oh, really, why am I thinking about that again? Forget it, forget it!"
"Fantasy scene: Playing house with a young Jiang Yu..."
Jiang Yu: Pfft—
Not to mention the outrageous composition.
Just the scene on the Fantasy Cloud almost made even the experienced old dog Jiang Yu choke on his saliva.
Li Kexin...
What's in her mind!
No wonder she's turned into an abyssal beast now...
Jiang Yu sighed, put away the "Fantasy Cloud," and pulled out the "Chameleon Mask."
Speaking of which, he hadn't used this thing yet.
...
The banquet ended, at the Peace Hotel building.
On a large bed in a dark room in a dark corner.
Wu Yier had removed her heavy makeup, taken off her nail polish, and her wet hair, freshly washed, was spread out.
She was leisurely lying on the bed, making a phone call.
"Dad, pause the transfer procedures for now. I plan to transfer to Yingcai University."
"Ah? Yingcai University? But your mom..."
"Dad, if you mention that woman again, I'm going to use a knife."
"No, no, I understand. But it'll take a few days. You have a good time these days. I'll agree to whatever you say."
"Then also help me investigate that woman named Shen Qing'er."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Yier lay spread-eagled on the bed.
Her beautiful eyes stared at the ceiling, her lower lip pursed, and she rolled around in shame and anger.
"Little Junior Brother... So handsome, so sunny, I couldn't even look him in the eye!"
"So annoying, so annoying, I forgot to ask for Little Junior Brother's contact information. My life is completely dark..."
Since it's come to this, let's have some Monster Claw instant noodles.
...
Shen Family Villa, second-floor kitchen.
"Qing'er Sister, can we play a game together? Please stop making cakes."
At the small dining table, Tu Youqing boredly ate a mousse cake, looking eagerly at Shen Qing'er, who was busy in the kitchen with a recipe.
It was as if overnight, the former high-and-mighty beauty had transformed into a virtuous wife and loving mother.
"Youqing, you go play first. I'll finish the cake. I still need to deliver it to Jiang Yu Brother tonight," Shen Qing'er said, meticulously preparing the frosting.
"Jiang Yu Brother? Qing'er Sister, you never used to call that guy that before."
"Before was before, now is now. I've had a sudden realization and recognized my feelings for Jiang Yu."
Shen Qing'er's small face was stained with egg liquid, and she said seriously:
"I like Jiang Yu!"
Tu Youqing looked helpless and mumbled, "What's so good about that stinky idiot? He's frivolous, lecherous, and likes to stare at girls' legs..."
Shen Qing'er put the cake embryo into the oven, then let out a long sigh and sat next to Tu Youqing, starting to eat her share of mousse cake.
While eating, she said, "Jiang Yu Brother is the best brother in the world."
"If one day I could kiss Jiang Yu Brother..."
"I might become the happiest girl in the world, Youqing. What do you think kissing feels like? I read in a book that..."
Towards the end, Shen Qing'er's momentum visibly weakened, and she stammered.
Tu Youqing lowered her small head and continued to eat her cake in small bites.
She dared not say anything, could not say anything... Just like a spy within a spy, she could only carefully hide everything, as exposing it would lead to her little heart being tortured.
"It's all Jiang Yu's fault, all Jiang Yu's fault!"
"Speaking of which... Why hasn't he called me over for tutoring today?"
Tu Youqing's mind was a mess, somewhat overloaded.
"Sigh, Youqing, how do you think I can ask Jiang Yu Brother out?" Shen Qing'er ate her mousse cake, her face full of worry:
"It's the best weekend, but I can't be with Jiang Yu Brother..."
Normally on weekends, Shen Qing'er would take Tu Youqing shopping everywhere, buying and buying. If they saw a suitable little dress, they'd each get one – Gothic Lolita, JK, formal dresses... Their closets were almost overflowing. After shopping, they'd go to the movies, go out to eat...
But now, Shen Qing'er's mind was full of Jiang Yu.
Tu Youqing felt a pang of sympathy and sighed.
Her silly best friend was truly naive, and no wonder she was being played around by that scoundrel Jiang Yu.
After a moment of hesitation, Tu Youqing made up her mind and said,
"This weekend, you and Jiang Yu go to the movies together. I... I have something to do, I need to accompany my mom."
For some reason, as soon as she thought of her good best friend and Jiang Yu hanging out together on the weekend, a strong sense of jealousy rose in her heart.
But!
Forget it, for her good best friend's love, she should make some sacrifices.
Anyway, a commoner girl like herself, Jiang Yu could abandon at any time once he got tired of her. Qing'er Sister and Jiang Yu were a perfect match, a young master and young lady.
She... shouldn't get involved.
"Really? Then..." Shen Qing'er's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed.
"I... I'm a little afraid Jiang Yu will reject me..."
Tu Youqing forced a smile: "I'll help you contact him."
She took Shen Qing'er's phone and pressed the call button for her.
...
Back home, Jiang Yu was about to try on the "Chameleon Mask."
As soon as he put it on, his pocket rang with a phone call.
Shen Qing'er called: "Hello, Jiang Yu Brother... Do you have time today?"
"What is it?"
Jiang Yu's tone was indifferent, maintaining a sense of being neither too close nor too distant.
"Do you want to go out together? Um... How about going to the movies together? A new romance movie came out today."
At that moment, his phone also received a message.
Tu Youqing: "【Promise Qing'er Sister... I, I, will give you a kiss in a few days!】"
Jiang Yu curled a smile and replied to the call: "Got it, I'll go. Send me the location. Oh, and bring Tu Youqing. I'm not used to going out alone with a girl."
Shen Qing'er actually wanted to spend time alone with Jiang Yu.
But hearing Jiang Yu's request, she still nodded: "I understand, then it'll be the three of us."
At the same time, she couldn't help but marvel at Jiang Yu Brother's self-restraint. He must have never gone out with a girl before, right?
Hehe, she was Jiang Yu Brother's first date.
Meanwhile, Tu Youqing's little heart pounded.
The "three of us" Shen Qing'er mentioned was completely different from the "three of us" she was thinking of.
As the saying goes, when three people walk together, there must be me...
If she really called Jiang Yu, who knew what mischief that guy would secretly cause.
However...
Tu Youqing nodded hesitantly, suppressing the sweetness in her heart:
"Then... then there's no other way, okay."
