The Taste Is a Little Strange

A silent night, a silent room.

Xue Chuchu saw two messages.

One was a photo of a girl's body.

The other said: Did you do it tonight?

Do what? What did she want him to do? Xue Chuchu stared at the chat screen, the emotion gradually fading from her face until all that remained was cool detachment.

She silently put down her phone. She knew this was no longer a place where she should stay.

She also understood why Jiang Ning had refused when Tongtong asked him to play games earlier. So he had been waiting here.

"I won't disturb you anymore."

Xue Chuchu said this, and there seemed to be a trace of emotion in her voice.

Jiang Ning keenly caught it.

His Spiritual Sense had long since noticed Bai Yuxia's message. Before evening self-study today, he had told Bai Yuxia that if she had time tonight, she should finish the ring.

Who could have known that Bai Yuxia, who was always so composed, would send such a misleading message? Jiang Ning remained calm as he asked, "Disturb me how?"

Xue Chuchu said nothing, merely gazing at the phone on the desk.

Jiang Ning got up and found his phone. After reading the messages, he took a picture of the nearly completed green jade ring and casually sent it over.

He also replied with a voice message: "It's almost carved. Just needs a little more polishing."

Seeing Jiang Ning's reaction, Xue Chuchu realized that she seemed to have overthought it. He was only carving a ring for someone.

Wait, why was he carving a ring for another girl?

Was she Jiang Ning's good friend at school? Did Tongtong know about this?

Her thoughts, which had just come to a halt, became tangled once more.

Then Xue Chuchu steadied herself.
