The final exams were over, and as expected, Su Jing was in the top ten in her grade. She had also won prizes in English and painting competitions, and the school was rumored to be offering her a scholarship.

Jiang Yi unexpectedly made it into the top 100 in his grade, a result that greatly surprised his father. In his delight, he gave him a 30,000 yuan bonus. However, Young Master Jiang wasn't particularly thrilled with the sum. Instead, his father took him out to dinner with friends, where he was showered with praise, which he felt incredibly happy about. Everyone longs for recognition from those they value; it's something money can't buy.

Not to mention Jiang's mother, who was so happy that even the anguish of the divorce was gone. She'd often make mahjong appointments, and she'd also been making all sorts of overt and subtle overtures about how accomplished her son had become. She'd already been quite proud of her son's good looks among her friends, but now, not only was he good-looking, but his grades had suddenly soared, even allowing her to look up the rankings of 211 universities. She had to create more opportunities to show off.

Su Jing was naturally happy after she found out, but she wasn't too excited until the official announcement came in. Who knows if it was just a misunderstanding? Throughout the winter break, besides art class, she stayed in her room doing homework, drawing, and going to the gym. She also filmed a bunch of new product commercials for a jewelry store.

When Chen Ke transferred to another school, his father ultimately compensated Su Jing with 20,000 yuan, thanking her for not asking the school to punish Chen Ke and preventing him from affecting his future studies. Combined with the advertising fees from the gold shop, she had nearly enough money to cover her four years of university tuition, and Su Jing was genuinely happy about it.

Two days before school started, the two people who lived in the same room every day finally had two full days to stay at home, preparing for school and packing things they needed.

Su Jing mainly wanted to tidy up her room and clothes, but when she opened the closet, she found that all the clothes were classified and hung very neatly by color, so neat that she could no longer find the clothes she wanted.

She poked her head out of the room and asked Jiang Yi, who was watching a video in the living room, "Did you clean my closet?"

"Yes." Jiang Yi answered lazily.

"All?" Su Jing's tone was filled with shock.

"Nonsense!" Jiang Yi turned his head and gave her a blank look. "During the holiday, you said you only stayed at home for a few minutes. What did you do during those minutes? Apart from doing various looted papers, have you looked at other things on the table, on the floor, and on the bed? If I don't go in and clean up, your room will probably become a pigsty." After saying that, he snorted, turned back with disgust and continued watching TV.

"Uh..." Su Jing's scalp tingled because of what he said. She turned back into the house and stood in front of the cabinet, looking at the drawer of underwear that she had just opened.

The underwear, once crammed together like dishcloths, was now divided into two drawers. Bras were lined up, separated by neatly cut cardboard, and placed upright in the drawers. Similarly, the panties were folded into small squares, sorted by color, and also neatly arranged upright in the drawers.

Su Jing took one out and looked at it. She was impressed by how this soft material could be folded into a tofu block and still stand upright. She found it hard to imagine. She couldn't do it anyway.

She suddenly realized that having mysophobia wasn't such a bad thing. As long as he didn't force her to have mysophobia, it was fine.

However, Su Jing still felt very uncomfortable with him folding her underwear, even though she wasn't a real 17-year-old girl at heart. She felt really embarrassed for a woman to let a guy who wasn't her boyfriend do this, especially when he wasn't even paying attention.

But she was also a little confused. How could Jiang Yi do this so naturally and without even telling her? Wouldn't he feel embarrassed? At least for now, as far as she knew him, in this life, he was still a virgin, and had never had sex with anyone. For a teenager, would he have the nerve to deal with all this? However, Su Jing only thought about it in her mind and didn't dare to ask Jiang Yi.

Su Jing hissed, shrugged, and despised herself for five minutes.

After tossing and turning in the room for a while, Su Jing came out and asked Jiang Yi, "Isn't your mother at home?" She has now recognized his mother as her godmother and usually calls her "Mom".

"Go to work. Today is not the weekend."

"Okay then," Su Jing shrugged and asked him, "Auntie isn't coming today?"

"No, Auntie hasn't been here for several days. Haven't you noticed?" Jiang Yi glanced at her sideways.

"Ah? I didn't notice." Su Jing was a little surprised. "What happened to her? Did she ask for leave?"

"Well, it seems that her daughter is sick and she asked for a few days off." Jiang Yi's gaze returned to the TV.

"Then who made dinner these days?" Su Jing was very surprised.

"My mom cooked for two days, and I did it the rest of the time." Jiang Yi's tone was lazy, and he didn't think there was anything big about cooking.

"You?" Su Jing widened her eyes, ran to his side, sat down, and stretched her head to stare at his face.

Jiang Yi could cook, and he was quite good at it. She knew about it in her previous life, even though she had never eaten it. But at this time in her previous life, he was attending a tourism school and had studied Chinese and Western cuisine, so it wasn't surprising that he could cook. But in this life, he was attending the same school as her. Could it be that he already knew how to cook by then? Thinking back, the food she had eaten these past few days seemed to taste different from her aunt's usual cooking, and it was quite delicious.

Was it possible that the regrets of her past life were now being realized without her noticing? Su Jing felt that things were becoming increasingly different from what she had imagined.

Jiang Yi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked, "Why, it doesn't taste good?"

"No, I'm just surprised at when you learned it." Su Jing said.

"Is it strange?" Jiang Yi sat up slightly and turned to look at her: "My family hasn't been rich since I was a child. Don't you remember that we lived in the yard next to each other when we were young?"

"Nonsense, of course I remember. But you could cook at that time? Why haven't I heard of it?" Su Jing thought about her impression of him in elementary school. He didn't seem to be a good kid who helped his parents with housework at home every day.

"I probably learned it during the summer vacation after I graduated from elementary school." Jiang Yi thought for a moment and said, "My dad had just gone to Shenzhen that year, and my mom had to go to work, so I was always at my grandma's house. My grandma had a fall and couldn't get out of bed for months, so I was there every day. My aunts came every afternoon to cook dinner and also prepared meals for us for the next day. The next day at noon, I was responsible for heating it up and eating with my grandma. Then every day while they cooked, I stood by and chatted with them. I watched for about two months, and I got the hang of it."

"Oh, I see." Su Jing nodded.

After a moment of silence, Su Jing said vaguely, "Very good."

Jiang Yi was watching TV when she suddenly said these two words. Not understanding what she meant, he asked, "What's good? This movie?"

"Ah, no, I think it's good that you learned how to cook." Su Jing said hurriedly. She was actually thinking that this felt quite like her husband cooking at home, which was good.

"Yes, it's good for you. I hope you will feel comfortable eating these days." Jiang Yi glanced at her again.

"Well, not bad," Su Jing smiled, "Then I'll do it today, so I won't bother you, Master."

"Then go check what's in the refrigerator," Jiang Yi yawned, "I'll take a nap."

"Mom, are you coming back for dinner?" Su Jing said as she walked towards the kitchen.

"Probably should go back. She'll call anyway if she doesn't come back."

When Su Jing opened the refrigerator, she found that there was nothing she liked to eat, so she turned around and came out. She called Jiang Yi, "Hey, how about we go out and buy some food? I don't want to eat what's in the refrigerator."

"Then what do you want to eat?" Jiang Yi yawned again.

"I don't know, fish?" Su Jing asked.

"Okay, I won't be picky if someone can do it." Jiang Yi turned over lazily and faced the sofa, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Let's go, let's go buy some groceries." Su Jing pushed him.

"No, I'm going to sleep."

Seeing that he was unwilling, Su Jing didn't say anything and went back to her room. She closed the door and prepared to change clothes, but she was thinking about what vegetables to buy and didn't pay attention. When she closed the door, she was a little too strong, making a loud bang, which startled her and made her shrink her neck.

When she changed her clothes and came out, Jiang Yi was already wearing his clothes and shoes and standing at the door waiting for her.

"Didn't you say you wanted to sleep?" Su Jing glanced at him and bent down to get her shoes.

"Didn't you bang on the door because you were angry? How dare I sleep?" Jiang Yi glared at her.

"Angry? I'm not angry. I was just careless." Su Jing smiled. "Go to sleep. What do you want to eat?"

"Let's not sleep anymore. Get dressed and go out together." Jiang Yi reached out and opened the door, and the two walked out together.

When walking out of the door, Su Jing felt something in her shoe and stopped: "Hey, wait, there's something in my shoe."

Jiang Yi stopped and held her shoulders. She stood on one foot and raised the other to take off the shoe. But she lost her balance and swayed. Jiang Yi thought she was going to fall, so he hugged her.

Su Jing hadn't been able to stand steady, so he embraced her tightly, and both of them froze for a moment. Jiang Yi was much taller than her, and her face was pressed against his chest, causing her heart to beat faster.

At the same time, his scent hit her nose. It felt like a cat to catnip. Su Jing's back began to itch, wanting to rub into this smell.

During the few seconds they were frozen in place, a few crackling sounds were heard in the distance. Su Jing turned her head and looked over, but there was nothing.

"Are there rats in this yard?" Su Jing guessed to herself.

Jiang Yi returned to normal and continued her words, "I don't think so. I'll talk to the property management later and ask them to get some rat poison."

Su Jing raised an eyebrow at him and said, "You said there shouldn't be any, and then you asked them to get some rat poison. Don't you think that's grammatically incorrect?"

"No. I don't think there are any rats, but I don't know whether there are any or not, so let them sprinkle some as a precaution. Even if there are no rats, there's no harm in sprinkling some." Jiang Yi waited for her to stand firmly and loosened his arms around her.

"Okay, you're right, you're right."

The two of them walked out, bantering with each other and laughing all the way.
