Persistent Teasing

Yeah, what the heck is going on here~

Today, it seemed like an unusually large number of people were waiting to block Bai Youlou.

It was like they were lining up to get a number, one after another.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Yuanchu was pretty and had those beautiful, straight, fair legs, Bai Youlou would have gladly given her a "very smooth" evaluation and gotten out of there quickly.

He was going to miss his high-speed train.

This time, Long Ziqiang couldn't cooperate with Bai Youlou for a pincer attack. The bald guy winked and gestured, indicating he'd go help keep watch.

After the bothersome people cleared out, Jiang Yuanchu didn't immediately start talking. Instead, she took a good look at Bai Youlou.

He seemed unchanged, yet also vastly different.

From a looks perspective, Bai Youlou was naturally the same as before; he hadn't had plastic surgery, after all.

But Jiang Yuanchu felt that his overall presence was very different, and the feeling conveyed by his eyes and brows had also changed.

The old Bai Youlou clearly had a gentle personality, with almost no aggression.

But now... Jiang Yuanchu had actually overheard his conversation with Zhen Dongjun earlier, and he was like a completely different person.

Of course, Bai Youlou's changes weren't limited to just that. The way he sang on stage today had already made Jiang Yuanchu feel very unfamiliar with him; it was a look she had never seen before. Not to mention his talent – when did he learn to play the guitar?

The saying "After three days apart, one should look at someone with new eyes" was certainly true.

But this was just too fast.

Jiang Yuanchu really couldn't hold back, which was why she had uncharacteristically decided to intercept Bai Youlou.

Under normal circumstances, she would absolutely not put herself in such a "dangerous" situation. What if someone took a picture?

Bai Youlou was also sizing up Jiang Yuanchu. He hadn't seen her clearly from a distance earlier, but now that he looked... this girl was truly exquisite from head to toe.

An oval face, large eyes that sparkled with emotion, and rosy lips complemented by a light blush on her cheeks – she was simply radiant and lovely.

Even though she was wearing just a plain white T-shirt, she had tied a knot at the hem, revealing a sliver of her toned abs.

Her entire presence could be summed up in two words: perfect.

This wasn't to say her looks were unbeatable. At least, in Bai Youlou's opinion, neither An Luning nor Zhang Xiaorong were inferior to Jiang Yuanchu in terms of facial beauty.

But they didn't quite have that 360-degree, flawless, awe-inspiring presence. It was as if even every fold in their clothes was meticulously designed.

However, to be honest, this wasn't a compliment to Jiang Yuanchu.

Bai Youlou didn't wait for her to speak and immediately took the initiative.

He started with, "Long time no see, you've gotten even prettier."

Jiang Yuanchu instinctively flashed her signature sweet smile, but the next second, a hand appeared on her face, pinching it with a bit of force~

"What are you doing?"

Seeing her wide-eyed displeasure and her flustered attempt to push him away, Bai Youlou savored the feel of her cheek and said with a smile, "This is much more normal. Don't you get tired of presenting yourself like a luxury item in a display case every day?"

His words rendered the girl speechless, effectively freezing her for several seconds.

But Jiang Yuanchu quickly recovered and was still willing to smile at Bai Youlou. "I'm not tired. This is my job, and I cherish this opportunity."

Just like a diamond must undergo countless cuts before being placed in a display case to shine under the lights.

Jiang Yuanchu was very firm in this regard and wouldn't be easily swayed by Bai Youlou.

"You little thing, are you trying to provoke me?"

Jiang Yuanchu shook her head. "I heard you just now. Were you wrongly accused?"

"That kind of thing isn't important," Bai Youlou said indifferently.

"It is important! You're not cherishing your opportunities enough!"

Bai Youlou clicked his tongue in amazement. "You actually look more lively when you're angry than you did just now."

Jiang Yuanchu had no desire to debate this with him. She was a person with a strong inner core; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to "preserve heavenly principles and eliminate human desires."

Coincidentally, Bai Youlou was now a similar person. His inner core might even be "stronger and more resolute" than Jiang Yuanchu's, but in the opposite direction. He was completely deaf to any advice.

Therefore, their conversation was destined to be like two deaf-mutes chatting, using sign language that was in their respective dialects.

After a brief chat, Bai Youlou found it quite boring. Even Zhang Xiaorong, a quiet girl, would occasionally tell a bad joke to liven things up when chatting with him. An Luning, the chatterbox, was so noisy that he could feel her garrulousness even through a "small note" passed across a distance.

They were all more lively than Jiang Yuanchu, who looked as exquisite as a doll. Jiang Yuanchu was like a portrait on paper.

He wasn't into anime; he had no interest in paper figures.

"Is there anything else you want to say to me?"

"Okay, nothing? Then I'm leaving. If you have time, send me some photos, and I'll give you some feedback."

He left without any hesitation.

To be honest, Bai Youlou was a classic pervert, and teasing pretty girls had always been one of his life's pleasures.

Under his persistent teasing, Zhang Xiaorong's reactions were becoming more pronounced, but Jiang Yuanchu could remain so dry and lifeless.

"Huh? So soon?!"

Seeing Bai Youlou emerge in less than two minutes, Long Ziqiang subconsciously exclaimed in surprise.

His words made Bai Youlou's face darken. "Am I supposed to give birth inside before coming out?"

The other man quickly waved his hands. "Brother Lou, that's not what I meant. Isn't the time for catching up a bit too short? Shouldn't old friends chat a bit more when they meet?"

"There's nothing much to talk about. I'm deeply in love with Teacher Zhang and can't wait to see her now."

Long Ziqiang could only believe about thirty percent of that.

That thirty percent was still based on Zhang Xiaorong's looks and figure. But Jiang Yuanchu wasn't any worse than Zhang Xiaorong! They were at least a tie.

However, after getting on the high-speed train, Long Ziqiang found himself believing a bit more.

This was because after Bai Youlou's phone gave a notification sound, he suddenly hugged his phone and chuckled, ignoring Long Ziqiang.

His expression clearly indicated he was interacting with some girl. Who else could it be but Zhang Xiaorong? It couldn't possibly be Jiang Yuanchu, with whom he had just "parted on bad terms," right?

In any case, Long Ziqiang could smell the cloying scent of romance.

However, at this very moment, Bai Youlou wasn't chatting with anyone. He was admiring a picture.

It was indeed a picture Jiang Yuanchu had just sent.

So, she had actually taken his words, "If you have time, you can send some photos, and I'll critique them for you," to heart!

Just like before, it was a "private custom" version not posted on Weibo.

Yoga pants, sportswear. Even though she hadn't revealed anything, the photo made Bai Youlou feel a certain allure.

He couldn't help but click to enlarge the picture a bit.

His perverted gaze was activated.

Fortunately, this lewd behavior didn't last long, as he genuinely didn't see anything revealing.

Yoga pants were truly magical. Even though they covered so tightly, they gave a feeling of extreme exposure in the key areas.

The overall feel of the photo lacked color, appearing somewhat contrived. The filter used was also in the direction of despair yet bright and moving, hinting at a bit of vanity hidden beneath a weak and powerless exterior.

Bai Youlou was bold. He actually sent this critique.

However, Jiang Yuanchu completely ignored him, sending two photos every few minutes.

After she seemingly ran out of pictures, she went completely silent. No matter how Bai Youlou tapped her "poke" button, she showed no reaction.

He poked again and found he had been blocked.

Bai Youlou: ???

He couldn't bring himself to block her back. After all, although Jiang Yuanchu seemed "too pretentious" and unreal to him, she was generous!

Others wouldn't send Bai Youlou such "benefits" like she did.
