Persistent Teasing

Yeah, what the hell was all this supposed to be~

There seemed to be an especially large number of people trying to corner Bai Youlou today.

It was as if they had lined up and taken numbers, coming one after another.

If not for Jiang Yuanchu's pretty face and those long, fair, straight legs, Bai Youlou would have really wanted to give her a "very moist" review and hurry off.

He really was going to miss the high-speed train.

This time, Long Ziqiang couldn't cooperate with Bai Youlou on any kind of pincer attack. The bald man merely made a series of exaggerated faces to indicate that he would go keep watch.

Once the eyesore had left, Jiang Yuanchu didn't rush to say anything. Instead, she sized Bai Youlou up for a while.

He seemed unchanged, yet had also changed enormously.

In terms of appearance, Bai Youlou was of course exactly the same as before. It wasn't as if he had undergone plastic surgery.

But Jiang Yuanchu felt that he looked completely different overall, and even the feeling conveyed by his brows and eyes had changed.

The old Bai Youlou had clearly been the gentle type, practically devoid of aggression.

But now... Jiang Yuanchu had actually heard his conversation with Zhen Dongjun just now. He was like a completely different person from before.

Of course, that wasn't the only way Bai Youlou had changed. His appearance onstage singing today had already made Jiang Yuanchu feel unfamiliar with him. It was a side of him she had never seen before. Not to mention his talent—since when could he play the guitar?

The saying that one should look at someone in a new light after three days was indeed true.

But wasn't this happening a little too quickly?

Jiang Yuanchu really couldn't hold herself back, which was why she had acted so uncharacteristically and come to intercept Bai Youlou.

Under normal circumstances, she would never have put herself in such a "dangerous" situation. What if someone took a photo of her?

Bai Youlou was sizing up Jiang Yuanchu too. He hadn't been able to see her clearly from a distance before, but now that he got a good look... this girl was exquisite from head to toe.

She had an oval face, large eyes, captivating eyes, and plump, rosy lips that went perfectly with the faint blush on her cheeks. She was bright and charming.

Even though she was wearing nothing more than an ordinary white T-shirt, she had tied a knot at the hem, revealing a hint of the toned lines of her waist and abdomen.

The overall impression she gave was summed up in two words: perfect.

That wasn't to say her looks were unrivaled. At least, as far as Bai Youlou was concerned, neither An Luning nor Zhang Xiaorong was inferior to Jiang Yuanchu in terms of facial features.

But the two of them didn't quite possess that breathtaking, flawless-from-every-angle quality, as if every fold in their clothes had been carefully designed.

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

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

He began with, "Long time no see. You've gotten even prettier."

Jiang Yuanchu instinctively revealed her trademark sweet smile. Then, the next second, a hand appeared on her cheek and gave it a little pinch~

"What are you doing?"

Bai Youlou watched her widen her eyes in displeasure and hurriedly push him away. As he savored the feel of her cheek, he said with a beaming smile, "This is much more natural. You dress yourself up like a luxury item in a display case every day. Aren't you tired?"

His one sentence left the girl speechless, completely 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, so of course I have to cherish the opportunity I have now."

Just as a diamond had to undergo countless cuts before being placed in a display case and sparkling brilliantly beneath the lights.

Jiang Yuanchu was extremely firm about this. How could Bai Youlou influence her so easily?

"You little minx, are you taking a shot at me?"

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

"It doesn't matter." Bai Youlou shrugged it off.

"It matters. You don't cherish opportunities enough!"

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

Jiang Yuanchu had no intention of debating him about this. She was a person with an exceptionally strong mind; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to suppress all her worldly desires.

What a coincidence—the current Bai Youlou was more or less the same. His mind might even have been "stronger and firmer" than Jiang Yuanchu's, except that he happened to be the reverse. Advice simply went in one ear and out the other.

Thus, the communication between the two of them was destined to be like two deaf-mutes chatting, using sign language in their respective dialects.

So after exchanging a few simple words, Bai Youlou actually felt bored. When the quiet Zhang Xiaorong chatted with him, she would occasionally tell cold jokes to liven things up. Even An Luning, that chatterbox, could make her noisiness felt while sending him "little notes" from afar.

Both of them were more lively than the doll-like Jiang Yuanchu in front of him, rather than seeming like portraits drawn on paper.

He wasn't into anime and had no interest in paper people.

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

"Good, nothing else, right? Then I'll be leaving. If you have time, you can send me some photos and I'll give you my comments."

He didn't waste a single word.

To be honest, Bai Youlou was a classic lecher. Teasing pretty girls had always been one of his favorite pastimes.

Under his persistent teasing, Zhang Xiaorong's reactions had grown increasingly intense, but Jiang Yuanchu had managed to remain completely dry and unresponsive.

"Huh? That fast?!"

Seeing Bai Youlou come out in less than two minutes, Long Ziqiang instinctively exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Youlou's face darkened. "Should I have another person's baby in there before coming out?"

Long Ziqiang hurriedly waved his hands. "Brother Lou, that's not what I meant. The time you spent reminiscing was just too short. Don't old friends have more to talk about when they meet?"

"There's nothing to talk about. I'm devoted to Teacher Zhang, and I can't wait to go see her."

Long Ziqiang could only believe half of that.

And even that half was only because of Zhang Xiaorong's looks and figure. But Jiang Yuanchu wasn't inferior to Zhang Xiaorong either. However one compared them, they should at least have been evenly matched.

However, after they boarded the high-speed train, Long Ziqiang became a little more convinced.

That was because, after Bai Youlou's phone chimed, he suddenly hugged it and started chuckling, completely ignoring him.

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

At any rate, Long Ziqiang could smell the sour stench of romance.

Yet at that very moment, Bai Youlou wasn't chatting with anyone. He was admiring some beautiful pictures.

They were actually from Jiang Yuanchu, sent moments ago.

So she had really taken Bai Youlou's words—"If you have time, send me some photos and I'll give you my comments"—to heart!

And, just like before, they were "privately commissioned" versions that she had never posted on Weibo.

Yoga pants and sportswear. She hadn't revealed even a little skin, yet the photos still made Bai Youlou feel lewdly excited.

Unable to resist, he tapped the image to enlarge it.

His peeping mode had gone online.

Fortunately, this lecherous behavior didn't last long, because he truly couldn't see anything suspicious.

Yoga pants really were magical. They covered everything so tightly, yet somehow made the crucial areas seem especially exposed.

The overall feeling of the photo was that it lacked a little color and seemed somewhat affected. The filter also leaned toward a desperate yet dazzlingly captivating style, with quite a bit of vanity hidden beneath the weak and delicate exterior.

Bai Youlou was bold enough to actually send that evaluation to her.

However, Jiang Yuanchu didn't respond at all. Instead, she sent two photos every few minutes.

Once she seemed to have used up her supply, she immediately went silent as if she had died. No matter how Bai Youlou tapped that "nudge" option, she didn't react in the slightest.

He nudged her again, only to discover that he had been blocked.

Bai Youlou: ???

He couldn't bring himself to block her in return. After all, although Jiang Yuanchu seemed "too prim" to him and gave off an unreal feeling, she was generous!

Other people wouldn't send Bai Youlou benefits like she did.
