Rat-a-tat-tat!
Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Ruoxue's heart raced. "Jiang Cheng, is that you?"
No shit! Who else would it be, a ghost?
Jiang Cheng silently grumbled, too lazy to bother with Jiang Ruoxue. He set the towel by the bathroom door and tossed out a line, "I left it at the door for you."
Just as he was about to turn away, the bathroom door was suddenly yanked open.
In an instant, a perfect, pulse-quickening figure emerged faintly through the steam, like a meticulously carved work of art.
Jiang Cheng and Jiang Ruoxue stared at each other, eyes wide, before a shriek echoed through the entire Jiang Family.
"Jiang Cheng, you... why are you still here?!"
Jiang Ruoxue covered her body, her face flushed with shame and anger as she glared at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng: "??"
I'd like to know why I'm here too. Who knew you'd suddenly open the door? Don't I need time to go downstairs?
"Hurry up and turn around!"
Jiang Ruoxue shot Jiang Cheng a reproachful glance, a faint, barely noticeable smile flickering at the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Cheng belatedly realized and quickly turned to head downstairs, but a sharp shout came from behind.
"Stop! Who said you could leave?"
Seriously, missy, what the hell do you want me to do?!
Jiang Cheng's heart pounded with guilt. Right or wrong, he had seen something he shouldn't have, but it wasn't on purpose.
Maybe he could let Jiang Ruoxue look at him in return? That would even things out, right?
Jiang Cheng's heart pounded with guilt. Right or wrong, he had seen something he shouldn't have, but it wasn't on purpose.
Jiang Ruoxue spoke angrily, "You've seen my naked body, and you're just going to walk away like that?"
What else could he do? It's not like he could take another look back.
"S...sorry?" Jiang Cheng dared not turn around, testing the waters.
Sorry?
Jiang Ruoxue was so angry she laughed, wanting to crack open Jiang Cheng's head to see what was inside.
Here I am, a stunning beauty, standing naked in front of you—how can you be so indifferent?
And you say sorry? Sorry my ass!
Can't you do something real, something you're supposed to do? Man up!
"Don't worry, I didn't see anything, really!" Jiang Cheng kept swallowing his saliva, touching his nose.
Good, it didn't get longer.
To be fair, Jiang Ruoxue's figure was absolutely killer—curves in all the right places, especially where it counts!!
The kid and the kid's dad would never go hungry.
As he thought, Jiang Cheng felt a warmth at his nose and touched it.
Damn, a nosebleed!
How embarrassing. Good thing Jiang Ruoxue didn't see it, or he'd have to find a hole to crawl into.
Jiang Ruoxue gritted her teeth, her voice low. "What did you say? You didn't see anything?"
Jiang Cheng felt a chill at his back and quickly raised his hand to swear, "Really, the steam in there was too thick, I didn't see anything..."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng wanted to slap himself twice. Even he didn't believe that.
They were inches apart—wasn't he treating Jiang Ruoxue like an idiot?
Sure enough, Jiang Ruoxue's face was a picture of disbelief, and she spat out a few "fine"s.
"Turn around!"
Jiang Ruoxue stepped directly out of the bathroom. You didn't see anything? Fine, I'll let you see your fill today!
After all, I'm yours sooner or later. You can look as long as you want.
Hearing Jiang Ruoxue's words, Jiang Cheng froze for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle-drum.
Finally, unable to take it anymore, he fled downstairs like he was running for his life.
Seeing this, Jiang Ruoxue smirked triumphantly, then quietly pulled a voice recorder out of the bathroom.
"Jiang Cheng, you've got no way out now~"
She never really thought this would work out. All she wanted was some leverage over Jiang Cheng.
To make it easier for her to bother him later... no, wait! To find him.
Given enough time, she was sure she could win him over!
Of course, if things had naturally progressed just now, that would've been a nice bonus.
On the other side, Jiang Cheng calmed down and found it more and more suspicious—could Jiang Ruoxue have done that on purpose?
But her expression just now didn't seem like it either!
In the original story, although Jiang Ruoxue acted bold, she was actually very conservative inside and shouldn't have done something like this.
After successfully ruling out the correct answer, Jiang Cheng fell back into confusion. Was his luck really that bad?
For something so coincidental to happen to him—if Ye Bufan found out, he'd be furious. Jiang Cheng could already picture the Male Lead's helpless rage.
That said, as a Villain, he'd seen the Heroine's body. That shouldn't count as cucking the Protagonist, right?
Tap tap tap~
Footsteps sounded behind him, breaking Jiang Cheng's train of thought.
Jiang Ruoxue appeared, wearing a loose T-shirt, her jade-like legs smooth and straight, a hint of laziness in her brows. An ordinary outfit somehow radiated a sense of fashion.
Sure enough, a beautiful woman looks good in anything!
But Jiang Cheng wasn't in the mood to appreciate it, because right now Jiang Ruoxue was staring at him with an "indignant" look.
Ahem~
Jiang Cheng guiltily turned his head away and casually picked up the 1982 vintage plain water on the table to calm himself.
Hmph~ Men!
Jiang Ruoxue's jade legs took light steps as she walked over to Jiang Cheng. "Is it good?"
"Good-looking." Jiang Cheng blurted out without thinking. "No, I mean... good to drink!"
Damn it, how did his true thoughts slip out? What a disaster!
Jiang Ruoxue tried to keep her expression calm, but inside she was overjoyed. She unhurriedly sat down on the sofa and gave a light hum.
"What are you going to do?"
"What do you mean, what am I going to do?" Jiang Cheng frowned, then suddenly realized, "Oh, I plan to eat three extra bowls of rice later."
Right, Jiang Cheng intended to deny everything to the death. After all, Jiang Ruoxue had no proof—he was a dead pig unafraid of scalding water.
Heh~
Playing dumb with me, huh? Good thing I came prepared.
Jiang Ruoxue smiled faintly, slowly opened a recording, and turned the volume to max.
After hearing the content, Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded, his mind buzzing.
Who the hell records themselves while showering?!
"What are you doing?" Jiang Cheng said with an awkward smile, but his eyes never left the phone.
"Jiang Cheng, you have to take responsibility!"
Jiang Ruoxue's words were shocking. Jiang Cheng's eyes went wide, and he nearly choked on his water.
Was this something the Heroine would say?
Telling the Villain to take responsibility—was she worried the Male Lead's head wasn't green enough?!
"What did you say?!"
Jiang Cheng cupped his ear, feeling like he must be dreaming.
Someone! Anyone with yellow urine, wake me up!
"You saw my body. Shouldn't you take responsibility?"
Jiang Ruoxue puffed out her chest and spoke with righteous indignation.
Well... that actually did make sense.
For a moment, Jiang Cheng couldn't find a reason to argue. Seeing an opening, Jiang Ruoxue's eyes lit up and she launched into PUA mode.
She started with how Jiang Cheng and Jiang Ruoxue were childhood sweethearts, innocent and close.
Then how Jiang Cheng, as a kid playing house, said he would marry Jiang Ruoxue—that they were true love...
Finally, she talked about how Jiang Ruoxue wanted to give Jiang Cheng a whole soccer team of kids.
The more Jiang Cheng listened, the more ridiculous it got.
Absurd! Utter nonsense!
When had he ever said those things? And a soccer team—was she planning to enter the World Cup?!
