‘Physical contact?’ Li Yuxin was stunned because of that information.
Although she had guessed what was on Xiang Xuehai’s mind, she had never thought that she could be so bold. At that, Li Yuxin found it hard to breathe. Jiang Liushi was her classmate, actually deskmate, in high school, and they had known each other for six years now. She felt like a failure as even after such a long time they had not passed the threshold of just being friends.
If Jiang Liushi were to choose Ran Xiyu, Li Yuxin could accept it. However, the mere thought of Jiang Liushi becoming a couple with the famous star made Li Yuxin feel nervous and sad.
Generally speaking, it was a quite easy matter for a girl to pursue a boy. To be honest, Li Yuxin also admitted that Xiang Xuehai was a beautiful woman. Moreover, due to her being a famous star in the past, she had a captivating personality and charming aura. Once such a beautiful woman took the initiative to threw herself into the arms of a man, nobody would reject her.
“Xiyu, will just stand here and keep spying on them…?” Li Yuxin didn’t know what to say next.
“Is there any other option? We are not Brother Jiang’s girlfriends! We cannot bother them. Even if they…they…you know what I mean…we have no right to disturb them!” replied Ran Xiyu.
Ran Xiyu also felt regretful as she was too shy to express her feelings. If she had shown to Jiang Liushi how much she cared about him earlier, she would be more competitive and resolute than now. At least, it would be better than just being Jiang Liushi’s friend and teammate.
While Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin were feeling helpless, not knowing what to do, a voice came from behind them suddenly, “You’re really weak-hearted! Didn’t you see that your enemy has come to your home? Why are you still standing here? Don’t give up now! You have to try harder!”
Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin were taken aback. They turned around and saw Jiang Zhuying, who had appeared out of thin air. She was eating delicious-looking barbecued meat while watching anime on her iPad happily. Even Ran Xiyu, a powerful psychic paranormal, had failed to notice Jiang Zhuying’s presence as she was distressed.
“You are excellent in other aspects!” said Jiang Zhuying while sitting down on to the sofa. “You all admire me because I have such a handsome brother. But I admire you very much too. If I were you, I would have expressed my love directly and much earlier. Don’t you forget that we’re living in the post-apocalyptic world now! Did you want to go on a few dates first before expressing your feeling? You’re too naïve! Your approach must be direct! Don’t be a shy Pikachu. If that’s hard, then you could go together and confess!” said Jiang Zhuying.
Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin felt extremely embarrassed. Jiang Zhuying was too blunt. The two girls could feel their blood boiling, unable to accept the current situation. But they just stared at each other with their big eyes. They didn’t know what their next move should be.
Jiang Zhuying noticed that and shook her head. Then, she said, “I will help you just this once. After that, it all relies on your effort.” Upon saying that, Jiang Zhuying walked in front of the room’s door with a chunk of barbecued meat in hand.
“Z- Zhuying…what are you doing…” Ran Xiyu was shocked. She was worried that Jiang Zhuying would do something improper.
Jiang Zhuying ignored them and knocked on the door loudly. “Jiang Liushi, your sister, advised you to come out and eat barbecued meat with us,” shouted Jiang Zhuying.
Upon hearing the barging sounds and loud voice, Xiang Xuehai was forced to stop with her advancement.
“Open the door. Zhang Hai has barbecued the meat to perfection. It’s delicious!” shouted Jiang Zhuying again.
“Er…”
Xiang Xuehai did not know what to say. She had tried her best to express her feelings, but she was interrupted in the middle. Naturally, Xiang Xuehai felt sad and disappointed. Suddenly, she left Jiang Liushi’s embrace and sat up straight. Then, she shyly tied her hair. Xiang Xuehai’s cheeks were scarlet red, while on her forehead beads of sweat could be seen due to her nervousness. Surprisingly, her bashfulness mixed well with the charming woman’s soft and curvy figure. Her beauty would attract many people.
How could Jiang Liushi not want to succumb in his carnal desires after having such a beautiful woman opposite him? But he still retrained himself as his sister was right outside. He didn’t know what the consequences would be if he made the wrong decision. He was a responsible man, so he didn’t want to be impulsive.
“Well…” Xiang Xuehai’s tone was kind of unnatural after being interrupted by Jiang Zhuying, “Brother Jiang, do you think that I’m a pure woman?”
“Ah? No, never.” Jiang Liushi shook his head immediately.
Xiang Xuehai bit her lips and said, “In your mind, the entertainment circle must be a chaotic one. Although I dabbled in that circle, it was due to my family background, and not because of shady deals behind closed doors. I am not…impure…you…can…see for yourself.” Although Xiang Xuehai’s meaning was vague, one could understand that she was talking about her innocence. Then, she stood up quickly, walking away from Jiang Liushi.
Jiang Liushi petrified like a statue as he did not know what he should do next.
At that moment, Xiang Xuehai straightened up her clothes, opened the door and walked out. As soon as she stepped out, Xiang Xuehai saw Jiang Zhuying, who was looking at her with a chunk of barbecued meat in her hand.
Although Xiang Xuehai was confused and bashful, as a former actor and singer, she could calm herself down quickly.
“Zhuying, I am also hungry. Could I eat some barbecued meat?” asked Xiang Xuehai.
Then, she said to Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin, “Miss Ran and Miss Li, let’s eat together.”
Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin showed some sidesplitting admiration upon noticing how calm Xiang Xuehai was.
“Of course, you can.” Jiang Zhuying nodded. She was more inclined to take Ran Xiyu or Li Yuxin as her sister-in-law, but she didn’t feel bad about Xiang Xuehai at all. “Let’s eat together!” Jiang Zhuying said happily.
