Are You Two Flirting???

That fleeting smile was like an epiphyllum quietly blooming on a cold night, like winter sunlight piercing through the clouds.

That smile sent ripples across Jiang Junyi's Heart Lake.

Damn! It seemed his heart had skipped a beat.

Wan Qingyun's cool yet resilient face, her body that had never yielded to fate—the light that bloomed from her in that instant shone straight into Jiang Junyi's heart.

After hearing no movement from Jiang Junyi for a while, Wan Qingyun asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Junyi came back to his senses. "N-No... nothing... I was just deeply moved by Qingyun's smile."

Wan Qingyun froze as a rosy blush gradually crept up her neck. "You... what's so... moving about that..."

By the end, her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Watching the shy Wan Qingyun, Jiang Junyi wore a doting smile. Hehe, shy Qingyun is so pretty too.

If he had previously only wanted to cling to Wan Qingyun for support, now Jiang Junyi truly could not help wanting to... pursue pure love with her!

Wan Qingyun seemed to realize something was off. After coughing twice, she calmly said, "I presume Young Master Jiang is busy with many affairs. This matter has now been settled, and I have things to attend to as well."

Her intention to see him out was obvious, except...

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm." Jiang Junyi dragged over a chair and sat beside Wan Qingyun, propping his chin on his hand as he looked at her. "Go ahead, do your work."

Wan Qingyun was full of question marks when she heard the movement.

No, did he seriously not understand what she meant?!

Why had he even dragged a chair over to sit beside her?

Wan Qingyun took a deep breath. Maybe if she ignored him, he would leave on his own?

With that thought, she picked up a book and began reading.

She could not let him disrupt her study schedule.

Meanwhile, Jiang Junyi quietly watched Wan Qingyun as she focused on reading.

For a moment, the study fell silent.

Silent... just like those dark, sunless days before...

Wan Qingyun tightened her grip on the book slightly. That unreasonable man had barged into her bleak world, but now that things had returned to how they were before...

Why did she feel somewhat uncomfortable...

Just then, the calm was suddenly shattered.

"One day, Little Bear planted a strawberry and a mango. He found the strawberry grew so slowly, so he muttered to himself beside it. Guess what Little Bear said?" Jiang Junyi sprawled across the desk.

He clearly saw the brightness appear on Wan Qingyun's face when he began speaking.

"What did he say?"

Jiang Junyi gave a wicked smile. "Little Bear said, 'Berry, you're no good. Berry, you're no good.'"

The blush that had just faded from Wan Qingyun's cheeks climbed back up again. "You! Stop interrupting my reading!"

"Reading gets tiring too. You need something to lighten things up once in a while."

"I... I'm already used to it!"

Wan Qingyun felt both embarrassed and annoyed. Having never had much contact with the opposite sex, she found it hard to withstand Jiang Junyi.

She pushed Jiang Junyi. "You're not allowed to talk anymore."

Seeing Wan Qingyun's flustered expression, Jiang Junyi could not resist teasing her. "Then why don't you call me 'good husband'? Young Master Jiang sounds so distant."

"W-What?!"

Wan Qingyun's expression changed drastically upon hearing such shameless words.

"Y-You, don't go too far!"

Jiang Junyi put on a disappointed look. "Ah... but when you call me Young Master Jiang, it makes us sound like strangers."

Wan Qingyun clenched her teeth. Please! They had only met today, okay?!

Who asked someone to call them "good husband" right after meeting them?

Still, perhaps sensing Jiang Junyi's disappointment, Wan Qingyun spoke up.

"C-Change it..."

"Then... darling husband?"

"Asshole!"

Wan Qingyun hurled the book in her hand at him. This man! How could he be so shameless?!

"I'm joking. How about you just call me Junyi?" Jiang Junyi caught the book she had thrown and smiled.

That was more like it...

Though it still sounded somewhat intimate...

"Ju..."

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm!"

Jiang Junyi stared intently at Wan Qingyun, waiting for the moment she spoke.

Perhaps feeling that burning gaze, Wan Qingyun suddenly found it difficult to say it.

After struggling internally for a long time, she finally called out softly, "Ju... Junyi..."

The instant the words left her mouth, a blush spread across her delicate face.

Her naturally cool temperament became even more adorable.

Ah!

Jiang Junyi clutched his chest. How could Qingyun be so cute when she shyly called my name!

Ding~ The object of pure love called you intimately! Pure Love Points +10!

"Say it two more times for me?" Jiang Junyi leaned closer to Wan Qingyun, his distinctly strong presence washing over her.

Wan Qingyun hurriedly pressed a hand against Jiang Junyi's head. Her cool little hand against his cheek made his heart stir.

Ding! The object of pure love touched you voluntarily! Pure Love Points continuously +6!

"You! Stay away from me!"

"I didn't hear it just now~ Say it again~ Just once~" Jiang Junyi shamelessly wriggled around in front of Wan Qingyun.

"N-No!"

Just as the two were tugging back and forth, an urgent cry came from outside the study.

"Big sis! Big sis! Are you okay?!"

Wan Xiaoxiao rushed in from outside, but the moment she entered, she saw her sister's face flushed red and an unfamiliar man constantly edging closer to her sister.

"Who are you?! Get away from her!"

"Xiao Xiao! Wait..."

Wan Xiaoxiao launched a flying kick, and Jiang Junyi felt a force strike his side.

"Urgh..."

Thud!

The chair toppled over, and Jiang Junyi fell to the floor.

Wan Qingyun's expression changed when she heard the commotion. She hurriedly tried to stop her, but she could not stand up at all.

"You lecher! What are you trying to do to my sister? I'm telling you! Get out now! Otherwise, I'll beat you until you're crawling around looking for your teeth, then call the police and have you thrown in jail!"

Wan Xiaoxiao stood in front of Wan Qingyun with her hands on her hips, fuming.

Her twin ponytails trembled continuously from anger as well.

"Xiao Xiao! He just saved us! He's not a bad person!" Wan Qingyun hurriedly explained, grabbing Wan Xiaoxiao's hand.

"Huh? But he clearly..." Wan Xiaoxiao did not understand.

"Hey! I'll explain the details later..."

Wan Qingyun sighed, but then she realized Jiang Junyi on the floor had stopped moving.

"Xiao Xiao... how much strength did you use just now..."

Wan Xiaoxiao looked at the motionless Jiang Junyi on the floor and scratched her head. "Full strength..."

"Push me over so I can take a look! No... the wheelchair is broken..." Wan Qingyun looked somewhat anxious now.

Wan Xiaoxiao had never seen her sister this worried before, so she immediately reassured her, "There's a spare one. I'll go get it."

"Okay, hurry."

Wan Qingyun's brows furrowed tightly. After Wan Xiaoxiao ran out, she called out to Jiang Junyi.

"Junyi, Junyi!"

At that moment, Jiang Junyi secretly opened his eyes on the floor and discovered that only he and Wan Qingyun were in the room.

Only then did he inch his way over to Wan Qingyun and place his head on her lap.

So soft!

Ding! You came into contact with the pure love object's jade-like legs! Pure Love Points +66!

"Ah!"

Wan Qingyun jumped in fright and hurriedly reached down to touch the thing on her lap.

"Junyi?"

Jiang Junyi pretended to be on his last breath and spoke with difficulty. "Ah... being able to hear... my Qingyun call for me... I can die without regrets!"

Wan Qingyun relaxed upon hearing Jiang Junyi's ridiculous words, but then she came to her senses.

This dead man was actually resting his head on her lap!

"Asshole! Get up!" Wan Qingyun said through gritted teeth.

Jiang Junyi chuckled and swiftly stood up, then moved behind Wan Qingyun and lightly pounded her shoulders with his little fists.

"Don't be mad, don't be mad~"

"Hmph!"

Wan Qingyun snorted and turned her head away, not wanting to pay him any attention.

Clang.

The sound of something heavy falling came from the doorway, and both of them looked over at the same time.

Wan Xiaoxiao stared in disbelief.

"You two... were flirting???"
