How About a Lick?

On the way back, Jiang Junyi opened the system panel to check how many Pure Love Points remained.

Not bad—the number was very auspicious.

Pure Love Points: 1314

This was the first time Jiang Junyi's Pure Love Points had broken the 1,000 mark.

The main boost came from that round of indirect kissing.

He exchanged the Collection of Cheesy Love Lines and the Hormone Fruit, spending 60 Pure Love Points.

After the shop was cleared, it dimmed.

"What's the refresh mechanism for the shop..." Jiang Junyi murmured under his breath.

This damn system's refresh mechanism was bizarre—most of the time, it seemed randomly generated.

Jiang Junyi shook his head and stopped worrying about the shop.

Right now, he only wanted to stick close to Wan Qingyun—today's Qingyun energy hadn't been topped up yet!

On the other side, after finishing her delicious wontons, Wan Qingyun started handling documents.

But as she worked... she kept zoning out.

A certain figure kept popping up in her mind involuntarily.

Wan Qingyun let out a soft sigh.

Because of her blindness, she had no idea what Jiang Junyi looked like—she could only piece together a rough image in her head from his voice and actions.

But that could only ever be an illusion.

After staring blankly for a while, Wan Qingyun quickly shook her head.

She needed to strengthen herself now, to expand the Black Palace's power.

With Wan Xiaoxiao's close call as a precedent, she had to be strong enough.

With that thought, Wan Qingyun began to focus.

"Qingyun baby! I'm here!"

Jiang Junyi's cheesy address came from outside.

Wan Qingyun's expression softened slightly, then she quickly smoothed her hair and clothes before returning to her documents.

Maintaining an overall air of calm.

Jiang Junyi pushed open the door and saw Wan Qingyun bent over her work.

Working Wan Qingyun was super pretty too!

He grinned and sidled up to her, asking, "Any problems? I'm a pro at this stuff!"

Wan Qingyun glanced in Jiang Junyi's direction and said flatly, "I'm no rookie either—I haven't wasted all these years of study."

"Wow! My Qingyun is amazing."

Hearing Jiang Junyi's exaggerated tone, Wan Qingyun's mouth twitched.

Like he was coaxing a kid!

"Keep it down!" Wan Qingyun's tone sharpened slightly.

"!"

Jiang Junyi clutched his chest, looking heartbroken: "You, you're yelling at me! Boohoo."

Wan Qingyun: ?

What was with this dead man and all his drama!

"I didn't... I just..."

"Just! You're yelling at me!"

Wan Qingyun clenched her fist—hard, her fist was hard.

She knew Jiang Junyi was faking it, but she also knew that if she didn't offer a solution, this bastard would keep making a scene.

So Wan Qingyun said softly, "I'd like you to be quiet, okay?"

Jiang Junyi nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it."

With that, he dragged over a chair, sat down beside Wan Qingyun, and started doing nothing.

Wan Qingyun heard Jiang Junyi stop talking and breathed a slight sigh of relief, returning to her documents.

Though he occasionally made small movements and noises beside her, it was exactly that sound that made her feel at ease.

Just then, Jiang Junyi glanced casually and spotted a file about Su Corporation.

He frowned slightly—why would Qingyun have something from Su Corporation?

Jiang Junyi pulled out his phone and sent a message to Uncle Wu—

Jiang Junyi: Uncle Wu, why does Qingyun have something from Su Corporation?

Uncle Wu: Young Master, among the ten percent of assets you entrusted, some are related to Su Corporation. Random.

Jiang Junyi: All of them?

Uncle Wu: Mostly.

Jiang Junyi: I see.

He put down his phone and let out a barely audible sigh.

So this was the power of world correction?

Of all the Jiang Family's vast assets, it just had to be Su Corporation that fell into Wan Qingyun's hands—and with only a ten percent probability at that!

So Jiang Junyi tested the waters: "Qingyun, Su Corporation has risen fast these years. Can you handle it?"

Wan Qingyun's hand, flipping through documents, paused. She was silent for a moment before speaking. "I can."

To Jiang Junyi's ears, it sounded more like she was reassuring herself.

"Su Corporation's situation is a bit complicated. If you run into trouble, you can come to me."

Wan Qingyun looked at Jiang Junyi, about to say something, but his finger pressed against her lips, accompanied by a gentle voice:

"Remember, you're not alone now. You have me."

"I'll be your strongest support."

Without even looking, Wan Qingyun could feel the emotion flowing from Jiang Junyi's fingertip.

It was a steadfast, unwavering choice.

In that instant, the tenderness from Jiang Junyi nearly melted every fiber of Wan Qingyun's being.

Those brows, like distant mountains, rippled softly in the warmth of affection.

But then... though Jiang Junyi's expression was deeply moved at the moment, his mind was thinking something else entirely—

Ahhh! So soft, so smooth! I finally touched Qingyun baby's lips!

As expected of me! To seize an opportunity like this with perfect precision!

"Okay, I understand."

Wan Qingyun said softly, not moving Jiang Junyi's finger away.

Jiang Junyi felt her breath, like orchid-scented air, and a tingling numbness spread from his fingertip.

It was like an electric current, flowing straight from his finger into his heart.

Jiang Junyi pulled his hand away. "Go for it!"

"Mm!"

Wan Qingyun hummed in reply, her small hand clenching into a fist under the table, secretly making a little cheering gesture.

Little did she know, Jiang Junyi caught it all. A surge of adoration filled his eyes in an instant.

How could she be this beautiful, this adorable?

Though the study had fallen quiet, Jiang Junyi's heart had not.

He stared fixedly at his own right index finger, then occasionally stole a glance at Wan Qingyun's full, luscious lips.

Should... should I... lick it?

Jiang Junyi slowly leaned in... then quickly pulled back.

No, no, a person can't, at least... not be this perverted, right...

Jiang Junyi clenched his left fist tightly against his forehead, his expression twisted in struggle and conflict.

"Huff... huff..." He took deep breaths, trying to suppress that perverted thought.

But some thoughts, once they arise, are hard to make disappear.

Like how today you just feel like you have to take a look at the Japan-Korea section.

No! Not there!

Jiang Junyi forcibly grabbed his right hand as it crept toward him and pushed it away.

He was fighting himself!

Wan Qingyun looked at Jiang Junyi with a puzzled expression, just meeting his gaze.

Jiang Junyi's eyes drifted slightly downward, landing on those moist, cherry-like lips.

Forget it! Just one!

Slurp!
