Chapter 55: Just a Moment

Su Huaizhou had put a lot of effort into her appearance today.

Not only had she put on light makeup, but she had even changed her usual dressing style, opting for a white spaghetti strap dress paired with a sheer gauze shawl.

After finishing breakfast, the four of them left the cafeteria together.

Shen Yu and Zhang Panfeng walked in front, while Su Huaizhou and Jiang Miao followed behind.

Looking at Senior Sister in her white dress and her slender and fair calves peeking out from the hem from time to time, Jiang Miao’s gaze became somewhat fixed.

Although she was always charming, he didn’t feel much before because she was usually dressed in neutral outfits.

But today, her sudden change in appearance gave him a considerable impact.

“How is it?” Su Huaizhou, with her beautiful hair styled, looked ahead and blinked, not daring to look at Jiang Miao. Her expression was slightly unnatural. “Is my outfit okay?”

She rarely wore dresses or let her hair down.

The former was because she wasn’t used to the feeling of being so exposed, and the latter was because it felt too hot when her hair was loose.

But for today’s date, she had made a few small concessions.

“Hmm… You look great.”

Countless people had praised Su Huaizhou’s appearance since she was a child, but it was only at this moment that she couldn’t stop the corners of her lips from rising.

Fortunately, she managed to keep her lips pressed together and didn’t reveal the joy in her heart.

Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing.

Su Huaizhou looked at the two irksome figures walking in front and approached Jiang Miao to ask softly, “Then… do you want to try now?”

Before he could say no, he felt the back of his hand brush against hers, and the long-forgotten electric shock instantly spread throughout his body.

“W-wait… Senior Sister…” Jiang Miao hurriedly said. “We’re still near the dorms. Can we wait until we’re away?”

“Okay.” Su Huaizhou was a little disappointed, but she hid it well and smiled. “Junior Brother, you’re a bit timid.”

“Ahem… It’s called being cautious.”

Although Jiang Miao really wanted to touch Senior Sister’s hand right now, his rationality still had the upper hand, keeping his inner desires in check.

After they walked out of Xiuye Commons, Su Huaizhou started typing rapidly on her phone.

“Senior Sister, what are you doing?”

“Talking to Shen Yu,” Su Huaizhou said without looking up, focused on typing. “With those two acting like that, I can only use WeChat to communicate.”

Jiang Miao looked at the two seniors in front and smiled helplessly.

Come to think of it, aside from seeing Senior Zhang Panfeng stammering a few words during breakfast, he hadn’t really noticed much interaction between the two.

Is it really useful to let them go on a date like this?

“Zhang Panfeng just called a taxi,” Su Huaizhou said. “Let’s take it to the subway station and then head to Sky Street.”

Jiang Miao nodded. Anyway, he was only here to gather material, so he didn’t mind what the arrangements were.

Two minutes later, the taxi arrived at the side of the road.

Shen Yu opened the door and was the first to sit in the back.

Su Huaizhou, still mindful of today’s secondary task, glanced at Zhang Panfeng and signaled him with a nudge of her chin.

However, he hesitated for a few seconds before finally opening the door of the front passenger seat, not daring to sit beside Shen Yu.

Su Huaizhou: “…”

Jiang Miao: “…”

Senior… even when given the opportunity, you’re beyond hope, Jiang complained inwardly, but the next second, he felt his hand being grabbed.

“Then let’s sit in the back.” Su Huaizhou smiled mischievously and pulled him into the back seat.

Thus, the seating arrangement in the taxi became:

Driver +++ Zhang Panfeng

Shen Yu; Su Huaizhou + Jiang Miao



After getting into the taxi, Su Huaizhou’s and Jiang Miao’s hands didn’t separate.

With Zhang Panfeng sitting in the front passenger seat and Shen Yu sitting beside Su Huaizhou with her head lowered, the two of them were safely concealed in the back seat.

It was well within Jiang Miao’s safety line, so he no longer resisted holding hands. It’s just for material… just for material…

With this thought in mind, he focused all his attention on his hand.

Previously, on Tuesday, his mind had been a total blank, and he hadn’t paid any attention to feeling the warmth and softness of Senior Sister’s hand.

Now, in the taxi, the two odd seniors were silent, and the driver was not chatty, so the only sound was the car moving.

Jiang Miao held Senior Sister’s hand, his heart racing. He looked out of the window, not daring to turn his head and look at her.

The thought that Senior Zhang Panfeng, Senior Sister Shen Yu, and the unknown driver were within arm’s reach made Jiang Miao feel his blood surging through his body.

What followed was a tingling sensation and a feeling of weakness.

It felt as though his entire body was unable to exert any strength. Sёarᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

But after holding Senior Sister’s hand for a while, Jiang Miao still couldn’t resist and secretly, gently, bit by bit, started to caress her smooth and soft hand.

“Junior Brother, does it feel good?” Su Huaizhou leaned over and whispered into Jiang Miao’s ear. “I put hand cream on.”

Being attacked by her warm and moist breath against his ear made him shudder and almost let out a sound.

He turned to look at Senior Sister and was about to say something when he quickly turned back the next second.

So close!

Too close!

His entire attention had been on their hands just now, and he hadn’t even noticed that the two of them were sitting so close that their bodies were practically touching.

In fact, when Senior Sister moved over, Jiang Miao could feel the weight of her leaning over.

“Senior Sister, we’re too close,” Jiang Miao whispered. “Senior Sister Shen Yu is right beside us.”

“Don’t worry. She doesn’t dare to look over,” Su Huaizhou whispered into his ear. “How is it? Are you getting good material?”

“… Yeah.” Jiang Miao nodded with difficulty, unable to form a coherent response.

Her body, her voice, her breath, her hand, and even her scent—everything about her enveloped him.

In the cramped back seat of the taxi, there was no room for him to escape.

But then again, why would he want to?

Clearly, clearly, this is quite good…

It’s just for gathering material…

Just for gathering material…

For gathering material…

Jiang Miao was like Tang Monk trapped in the Kingdom of Women, desperately reciting Buddhist scriptures in his mind over and over to keep stray thoughts at bay.

But his situation was far more challenging than Tang Sanzang’s.

Not only did he have to maintain his composure, but he even had to hold Senior Sister’s delicate hand and complete his task of gathering material.

The scriptures that Tang Monk wanted to obtain weren’t from the queen of the Kingdom of Women.

But all the material that Jiang Miao wanted relied on Senior Sister.

It’s just holding hands. It’s… it’s nothing serious. He forced himself to stay calm and kept his gaze fixed outside the window, using the scenery to distract himself.

But when they were a couple of intersections away from the subway station, Senior Sister pulled his hand again.



By the time he reacted, his hand was already resting on the hem of her dress.

The firmness of her thigh was conveyed through the fabric to his palm.

Jiang Miao: “?!”

“Don’t, don’t move…” Su Huaizhou’s originally calm tone now had a hint of shyness as she whispered into Jiang Miao’s ear, “Just a moment.”

A moment is too long! Jiang Miao’s heart was beating wildly, and he felt that the air in the taxi was becoming thin.
