Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Jiang Cheng's kiss was just a light touch, after all, Qiu Yihe was still in the midst of excitement and her breathing was still unsteady.

Moreover, this was also the girl's most vulnerable moment, so Jiang Cheng didn't make any further movements, simply holding her quietly...

...

In the king room of the Yiheng Hotel, Fang Yuan was singing and dancing to the trendy song "Please Don't Pick at Things" while moving to the rhythm.

But before she could finish singing the whole song, her phone rang.

I glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Wang Wei.

Wang Wei: "Fang Yuan, are you asleep?"

Upon seeing this information, Fang Yuan frowned instantly.

She noticed that Wang Wei had been addressing her strangely lately.

When she first joined Jiangtai, Wang Wei still called her Manager Wang.

But lately, he has been calling me by my full name every time he sends a message.

And although there had been times when I sent her messages at night, those were all normal work-related communications.

It wasn't until recently that Fang Yuan realized that Wang Wei's information was becoming increasingly suspicious.

He would even casually ask her a few questions about her life from time to time.

For example, they might say things like, "It's cold tonight, wear more clothes," or "Have you gotten home yet? Be careful."

These are not the kinds of things a superior should say to a subordinate.

Wang Wei's recent overstepping concerns are like tiny thorns, pricking her in the gaps of her daily work. They're not deep, but they always make her feel vaguely uncomfortable.

It's almost one o'clock now, and I'm still asking myself if I'm asleep?

After staring at it for a while, Fang Yuan decided not to reply.

If a man like Jiang Cheng hadn't appeared in her life, a successful middle-aged man like Wang Wei, without a family, would indeed have been a very suitable match for her.

However, the mistake was that Wang Wei was married.

Moreover, she has already met Jiang Cheng, so even if he is unmarried, she will not like him.

She wasn't unaware of the subtext; she simply loathed this kind of probing disguised as a superior's act.

In the short moment I was distracted, the screen lit up again.

Upon seeing the name "Jiang Cheng," Fang Yuan's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

Jiang Cheng: "Good night, sweet dreams!"

She read it twice, unable to suppress the smile on her lips. The gloom that had arisen from Wang Wei's message vanished instantly.

Fang Yuan was unaware that Jiang Cheng's message was sent to a group.

Furthermore, Fang Yuan was not on the selected list when he sent group messages in the past.

Tonight was a bit special, so Jiang Cheng included her in the group message as well.

Based on what happened tonight, Fang Yuan even actively imagined the meaning of this sentence.

She just felt that Jiang Cheng was really considerate, and that he probably really cared about her.

Otherwise, why would I still care about my condition tonight at such a late hour?

This is different from the attitude towards Wang Wei.

Fang Yuan replied immediately after reading it.

Good night, and sweet dreams.

After sending the message successfully, she stared at the reply for a while before turning off the light, satisfied.

...

The next day, Qiu Yihe's face instinctively turned red the moment she opened her eyes.

She had previously mocked the acting of the female teachers in the show, saying it was a bit fake, when she was researching various materials.

Is this thing more painful than a white knife going in and a red knife coming out?

With such little force, it's not like they're being beaten, so why are they shouting?

His face was so red, and he was sweating profusely.

This isn't an educational film; it's practically a scam.

This is something that's purely designed to stir up emotions and get people to spend money after watching it.

But after what happened last night, all she wants to say is: "Teachers, please censor the private parts. I'm sorry, I was too abrupt before, the sound was too loud..."

Because she exhibits all the symptoms she just mentioned...

I was so tired after it was all over that I fell asleep immediately.

But

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng didn't wake her up or laugh at her.

Now she really just wants to leave without anyone noticing.

Otherwise… with that mouth of his, who knows how he'd tease her about her last lapse in composure last night. Yes, let's go!

The moment the blanket was gently pulled back, Qiu Yihe slowly raised her head, arched her back, and tried to roll off the bed.

She held her breath, very slowly lifted a corner of the blanket, and crouched up like a thief, trying to slide off the edge of the bed.

However, his gaze inadvertently swept towards the bed and his surroundings... and he immediately froze.

That fleeting glimpse was incredibly impactful.

Qiu Yihe's heart pounded wildly, her cheeks burned even hotter, but her eyes were drawn to him like a magnet, and she couldn't help but glance at him a couple more times.

Just as she finally mustered the courage to get out of bed, an irresistible force suddenly pressed down on her!

Is it pretty?

Jiang Cheng's voice, hoarse from just waking up and filled with obvious laughter, rang out above her head.

Jiang Cheng had already woken up at some point.

He was now bracing himself against her ear, trapping her back between the soft bed and his burning chest.

The morning sunlight fell on his lazy, smiling eyes, making him breathtakingly handsome.

It was so dangerous it made my legs go weak.

Qiu Yihe's mind went blank for a moment, leaving only immense embarrassment and panic at being caught red-handed.

She could even feel her skin burning all over, especially her face, which was locked in his gaze.

She instinctively wanted to turn her face away, avoiding his eyes that seemed to see through everything, her throat tightening.

She wanted to refute, to say "Who saw it?", but couldn't utter a single word; only her rapid breathing betrayed her nervousness.

What the heck is going on, Qiu Yihe?!

This is just a transaction!

Don't overthink it!

He's just a scumbag who's good-looking and physically strong.

A few seconds later, she regained some of her bravado and stubbornly glanced in the direction she had been peeking at, feigning disgust.

His voice trembled slightly with guilt, and he stubbornly replied, "...What's so interesting? It's all dark, I can't see anything."

She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Her attempt to cover up her guilt and her obvious concern for the situation were written all over her face.

Sure enough, the smile in Jiang Cheng's eyes deepened, like ripples of mischief spreading outwards.

"Oh, so you were looking for so long because you couldn't see clearly? You should have said so earlier, it would have been so easy..."

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Qiu Yihe's heart skipped a beat...

"No, please... That's not what I meant! You've misunderstood..." Qiu Yihe said coquettishly.

"Don't be shy, what kind of relationship do we have? What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine. Look if you want, you big glutton..."

"Ah, what are you talking about? I don't want to, I don't want to see..."

"No...you want to see..."

Despite her repeated refusals, it was clearly to no avail; Qiu Yihe soon became speechless...
