Chapter 23: Do You Like Her or Me? Part 1
The System swallowed its saliva: [Maybe turn around and help F1?]
It really didn’t understand anymore. Wasn’t everything correct just now? How did it change again?
Shi Huaibai said innocently: [Didn’t you tell me to turn my back, and that it might hurt a little?]
System: [Then…]
Is that what it meant?
In the System’s mind, the one hurting should be Shi Huaibai, not Jiang Xinian!
Shi Huaibai’s thoughts were clean and red, full of communist radiance: [Didn’t you say I should solve it independently?]
The System fainted completely: [……]
It’s independent, but I didn’t ask you to make F1 independent.
Jiang Xinian was simply laughed out of anger. Looking at the needle in his hand, his knuckles turned white from gripping.
Originally, his heat was two parts real and eight parts fake, but Shi Huaibai’s love-severing act was ten parts real.
He understood now. Shi Huaibai was doing it on purpose. He clearly understood everything, yet pretended to understand nothing.
“Shi Huaibai…” Jiang Xinian unbuckled his belt with a click, his hand moving up and down as if no one was around, occasionally emitting a muffled low growl, completely disregarding that Shi Huaibai was still in the room.
While moving, he narrowed his eyes to look at Shi Huaibai. The other party didn’t show even a hint of wanting to turn back.
No reaction.
Not even a little bit of shyness.
As if he wasn’t right in front of him.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit Jiang Xinian’s forehead. He looked thoughtful.
“Shi Huaibai…” Jiang Xinian seemed to laugh, but the laugh was forced. The curvature of his mouth was deliberately upturned, making it look somewhat eerie: “Do you have someone you like?”
Shi Huaibai looked up, his mind suddenly filled with colors: Yes, he still has a “Pretty Senior Sister” in his phone who sends photos of beautiful legs every day.
In that instant, Shi Huaibai burned up again. He thought, So being hit by “spring medicine” is not only a test for Jiang Xinian, but also a test for himself.
The System was right. His back was majestic, a model for Jiang Xinian to learn from. In front of his lackey, he must keep his heart still as water and his mind clear.
So, Shi Huaibai said firmly: “Women only affect the speed at which I draw my sword.”
Jiang Xinian gave a stiff sneer: So there is someone.
Deception in words is easy, but bodily reactions can’t lie.
Shi Huaibai could easily blush talking about others, but showed no reaction in front of him.
Jiang Xinian was such a perceptive person. Suddenly, even with a smile, he said: “You go out, close the door.”
It doesn’t matter. Whoever it is, I will get rid of them.
Sounds of stroking and water came from the room, occasionally accompanied by low muffled growls entering the ear canal.
It seemed F1 didn’t succeed in “remaining unperturbed.”
After 30 minutes.
Jiang Xinian finally cleaned up, dressed neatly, without a single wrinkle on his cuffs.
“Let’s go home.” Jiang Xinian, who drugged himself, cured himself, then strong-mindedly picked up Shi Huaibai, waiting for Uncle Wang to pick them up late at night.
When calling the butler, the other party was a bit confused: “Young Master, didn’t you say you and Mr. Xiao Shi wouldn’t come home tonight?”
Jiang Xinian smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes: “Plans changed.”
The System had darkness before its eyes and tears in them. In its 10 years of career, this was the first time it saw a host listen to the other party finish jerking off outside the door, resolving the spring medicine issue.
The Host stayed quietly at the door, legs together, obedient, not like a protagonist shou, but more like a guard on duty.
Shi Huaibai shook his head and sighed, wondering: [So is the mission complete now? Although he still fell into desire, no one found out except me. If I don’t tell and he doesn’t tell, no one will know he is such a frivolous person.]
Such a simple mission actually worth so many points.
System: [……]
Shi Huaibai bargained: [But I did complete the mission within two hours.]
System: [……]
Its biggest mistake was setting it to two hours. Even if the dick was made of iron, jerking for two hours would make it oxidize and rust, okay?
Shi Huaibai made a final concession: [Then I won’t make it hard for you, 250 points is fine.]
System: [……]
It didn’t care about points anymore.
Shi Huaibai took the System out and shook it, blinking his innocent eyes: [So what do you say? And I tried hard to ensure no one saw Jiang Xinian’s unbearable scene. This is also a manifestation of my professional ability!]
The System seemed dead.
Shi Huaibai grabbed the System like fishing for a corpse, and Jiang Xinian dragged Shi Huaibai into the car like fishing for a corpse too.
Shi Huaibai started scrolling through his phone in the car, chatting with his other big client, Shen Chuimian.
The two chatted spiritedly in front of Jiang Xinian.
Blue light flashed on the phone screen, and Shi Huaibai occasionally let out a burst of silver-bell-like laughter.
Who wouldn’t be happy chatting with “Pretty Senior Sister”?
Pretty Senior Sister: [I think maybe I can use you as a model for a painting.]
Bai: [Paint what?]
Pretty Senior Sister: [What to paint depends on how much sacrifice you can make for art.]
Before Shi Huaibai could react, Shen Chuimian might have been afraid of scaring him, so he pulled the topic back: [Have you seen my art exhibition venue in advance? Prepared the plan?]
Jiang Xinian leaned back calmly, eyes behind the lenses glancing lightly, his peripheral vision inexplicably eerie.
Fortunately, Shi Huaibai was too poor to afford a privacy screen, and Jiang Xinian could read ten lines at a glance, taking everything in.
What are you laughing at?
Laughing so happily!
Why weren’t you this happy when chatting with me?
The more he thought, the gloomier Jiang Xinian’s expression became.
The four big words “Pretty Senior Sister” on the chat remark were like nails, like needles, a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh.
But he was too decent. Despite his displeasure, he didn’t throw Shi Huaibai out of the car. Instead, he smiled broadly, indulgently: “Who are you chatting with?”
Speaking of this, Jiang Xinian naturally and smoothly leaned his head over, openly looking at Shi Huaibai’s phone screen.
“Hm?”
What broken preparation plan?
Is Shi Huaibai taking private jobs behind my back?
Remark is Pretty Senior Sister. How pretty can she be?
“Ahem…”
He coughed earth-shatteringly again, seemingly unintentional, smiling insincerely, but the threatening tone was about to overflow: “I remember I hired you as an all-weather private personal bodyguard. If you work elsewhere, shouldn’t you tell me?”
Shi Huaibai immediately put away his phone: “I won’t do it next time.”
Seeming afraid Jiang Xinian wouldn’t believe him and would deduct his wages, Shi Huaibai vowed, holding up four fingers to swear (fa 4): “I will change.”
Jiang Xinian crossed his arms, issuing a gentle threat: “Then you’d better actually do it.”
After all, a bodyguard job with a monthly salary of 50,000 and idling all day wasn’t easy to find.
Shi Huaibai nodded like pounding garlic: “Uh-huh, uh-huh.”
The System fell into a dilemma. F1 was obviously not easy to fool now and started to be possessive, which was a universally celebrated good thing.
But F3 was also a capture target.
Although this capture target is weird now.
[Host, so are we really not going to the art exhibition?]
Shi Huaibai knocked on its head, calling it stupid: [When did I say I’m not going?]
System: [Didn’t you just swear to change? Saying no more private jobs.]
Shi Huaibai: [Extending 3 fingers is swearing (fa shi), extending 4 fingers is swearing 4 (fa 4).]
Jiang Xinian turned his head back. After a while, he thought about it and still felt unwilling.
So Jiang Xinian moved his butt with a straight face, reached out and swiped Shi Huaibai’s phone down. After confirming Shi Huaibai wasn’t continuing to chat, Jiang Xinian remained aggressive: “So who was she just now?”
Shi Huaibai wondered: “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Xinian pretended not to delve deep and be generous: “I should know who wants to poach my corner.”
Silence fell. Shi Huaibai realized: He hadn’t asked for Pretty Senior Sister’s name.
So Shi Huaibai could only say: “Miss Qu’s friend.”
“Oh~” Jiang Xinian’s tone was full of sarcasm. Qu You’s friend?
Qu You and Shi Huaibai hadn’t known each other for many days in total. It takes time to be familiar enough to introduce friends, which proves that even if Shi Huaibai has ideas about the “Pretty Senior Sister” in his phone, they probably haven’t known each other for long.
Clearly, it was Shi Huaibai who fed the cat in the rain and engineered the encounter with him at the banquet.
Clearly, Shi Huaibai was first. Now the guy just openly switched targets.
Why?
Jiang Xinian frowned slightly, his eyes dark and deep: First come, first served… I should be the one to get him, to possess him first.
The car’s sliding wing opened slowly. Jiang Xinian walked out silently and gloomily. Shi Huaibai diligently closed the door.
