At 8 p.m., Jiang Miao slumped into his chair dejectedly, completely giving up on trying to explain to Wang Xin.
Wang Xin was really the prince of understanding.
No matter how Jiang Maio explained, Wang Xin would show an expression of understanding. He nodded and kept responding with phrases like ‘I understand,’ ‘It’s okay,’ ‘I know,’ and ‘Don’t worry’ to everything Jiang Miao said.
Even though Jiang Miao had clearly explained things very clearly, Wang Xin just nodded to show that he understood.
But he had no idea if Wang Xin actually understood or not.
As a result, his relationship with Senior Sister now seemed more ambiguous than ever.
What a headache.
Still, he had said what he needed to say. If Wang Xin didn’t believe him, there was nothing he could do.
Jiang Miao calmed down and spent over an hour finishing his second chapter of the day, typing away on his laptop on his bed.
At about 9:30 p.m., he finished writing and releasing the new chapters. Then he took a shower and returned to bed. He started browsing through the chapter comments to interact with his readers a bit.
After thinking for a while, he opened QQ and found Congee Boss.
[Peach Jam]: Boss, I have something to ask you about, but I’m not sure if I should say it…
[Congee Boss]: Got rejected?
[Peach Jam]: Not that.
[Congee Boss]: Then go ahead. Did something happen with your dear senior sister again?
[Peach Jam]: It’s kind of complicated… It’s a long story.
[Congee Boss]: Make it short.
[Peach Jam]: Well… long story short, Senior Sister came to my room, but my roommates returned halfway. To avoid being caught, she hid under my bed curtain. In the end, she couldn’t leave, so we ended up lying together on my bed the entire night.
[Congee Boss]: ???
[Congee Boss]: I’m seriously starting to doubt if you’ve been making up stories to trick me this whole time.
[Peach Jam]: … It’s true! I’m not making it up!
[Congee Boss]: Don’t tell me that you and your senior sister slept together the whole night, but you still aren’t together?
[Peach Jam]: Well… that’s true…
[Congee Boss]: Impressive. I’ve gotta hand it to you.
[Peach Jam]: I mean we’re not together yet… Even though we slept together, I couldn’t mess around like that.
Building 31, Room 611.
Su Huaizhou sat cross-legged on her bed, biting her lip, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, unsure whether to be happy or angry. Sёarch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
[Congee Boss]: So you two slept separately through the night?
[Peach Jam]: Not exactly… Halfway through, Senior Sister said we could try getting material, so we hugged each other while sleeping the entire night.
[Congee Boss]: You guys slept hugging each other?!
[Peach Jam]: Yeah…
[Congee Boss]: How did it feel?
[Peach Jam]: She smells really nice, and her skin is so soft.
[Congee Boss]: And then?
[Peach Jam]: Her figure is amazing too. When she turned and hugged me… No, I’d better not say anything else…
Looking at Junior Brother revealing his heart, Su Huaizhou felt inexplicably delighted, like a mastermind controlling everything behind the scenes.
Moreover, reading him ‘secretly’ discussing and praising her, she felt a mix of shyness and pride, as if her vanity had been perfectly satisfied.
[Peach Jam]: She looked so cute while sleeping. I even secretly poked her teardrop mole with my finger. Her face is really soft.
Su Huaizhou: “???”
[Congee Boss]: You only touched her face?
[Peach Jam]: Yeah… I didn’t dare to touch anywhere else.
Su Huaizhou: “…”
Su Huaizhou was amused and exasperated. How could Junior Brother be so dense and cute?
[Congee Boss]: Are you stupid?
[Congee Boss]: Do you really think a girl would let you get material like that if she didn’t have any feelings for you?
[Congee Boss]: She literally snuggled in your arms! Why are you still playing innocent?
[Peach Jam]: Uh…
[Peach Jam]: Boss, are you sure?
[Congee Boss]: Let me ask you, do you think you could find another senior sister who’d let you get material like that?
[Peach Jam]: Isn’t it because she doesn’t want to be in a relationship and wants me to release faster…
Reading Peach Jam’s explanation, Su Huaizhou gritted her teeth and suppressed her frustration, not knowing what to say.
After all, she had used the whole ‘gathering material’ excuse to deceive him.
But now, he actually used this to shut her down?
There was nothing more aggrieving than this!
And to make things worse, in order to avoid exposing her identity as Congee Boss, she couldn’t directly confront him.
After thinking about it, she decided her best bet was to subtly guide him to realize her change in attitude.
[Congee Boss]: Think about it. When you and your senior sister first agreed to gather material, you held hands once. How many times did you gather material after that?
[Peach Jam]: Hmm… We had a date on the weekend, and we kept holding hands. She even linked arms with me. Afterwards, we watched a movie, and I even wrapped my arm around her waist.
[Congee Boss]: And then? Anything else?
[Peach Jam]: Uhh… we secretly held hands during a debate match, once after my basketball game and again during a mock debate. After the mock debate, we shared an umbrella, and I hugged her shoulders. I even carried her in a princess carry across a puddle.
[Congee Boss]: … Is there more?
[Peach Jam]: Well… then there’s the spending the night last night.
[Congee Boss]: So, have you thought about a question?
[Peach Jam]: What?
[Congee Boss]: A person’s attitude towards being in a relationship can be totally different before they’re in a relationship and when they start to like someone.
[Peach Jam]: What do you mean?
[Congee Boss]: I mean, maybe your senior sister really wasn’t planning on dating anyone before pretending to be a couple with you.
[Congee Boss]: But after pretending so many times—holding hands, hugging, and even sleeping on the same bed—she hasn’t pushed you away but even indulged you.
[Congee Boss]: I’m certain that your senior sister’s thoughts have already begun to change.
Reading Congee Boss’s logical breakdown, Jiang Miao almost believed it.
[Peach Jam]: Seriously? Senior Sister already likes me?
[Congee Boss]: I don’t know if she likes you or not.
To be on the safe side, Su Huaizhou didn’t dare to be too direct.
[Congee Boss]: But she must have some feelings for you after all those times of gathering material with you.
[Congee Boss]: Otherwise, even holding hands with a boy she didn’t like would be uncomfortable, let alone hugging or even sleeping on the same bed!
[Congee Boss]: As long as she hasn’t rejected you, it means you have a good chance!
[Congee Boss]: Next time, you should be a bit more proactive. As long as she doesn’t resist, it shows her attitude towards you!
Jiang Miao read Congee Boss’s analysis and nodded repeatedly, suddenly feeling as though the future was bright.
As long as he continued to work hard, he would surely be able to win her over!
[Peach Jam]: Thanks, Boss!
[Congee Boss]: What are you thanking me for? Just make sure to keep writing, and I’ll thank you.
[Congee Boss]: If you and your senior sister end up getting married, consider this my early wedding gift.
