15

 Jiang Nian never expected Tan Shisheng to confess to him. Anyone could have, but Tan Shisheng was impossible, because Jiang Nian couldn't see any sign that Tan Shisheng liked him.

This roommate was taciturn and a loner.

He thought they were parallel lines that would never intersect.

All eyes were on Jiang Nian, and when he blinked, his thick, straight eyelashes fluttered a few times, like a sudden storm sweeping through everyone's hearts, making them involuntarily tense. Jiang Nian

's cheek didn't leave the bottle. He thought for a moment. As a green tea who was luring everyone, he shouldn't have agreed, otherwise all the fish would have been scared away. But Tan Shisheng was the vice president, and a green tea who coveted power wouldn't refuse, otherwise his image would be ruined.

It was really a dilemma.

Jiang Nian pursed his lips, his petal-like lips forming a line. His eyes were innocent, wet, and lively, constantly looking at Tan Shisheng.

Tan Shisheng, already ramrod straight, was even more tense at this moment, not daring to relax for a moment. Jiang Nian hadn't directly rejected him, which meant there was still a chance.

Did Jiang Nian like him as a person? No, not necessarily. It was power or appearance, especially power. Tan Shisheng felt inexplicably fortunate, fortunate to have a good family.

Jiang Nian loved power, influence, and wealth, so he would give her those things, until she couldn't live without him. Then Jiang Nian loved him for who he was.

There was no difference.

Moreover, Tan Shisheng himself was also very outstanding. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the vice president.

While everyone was worried and tense, Jiang Nian moved the wine jar away slightly and finally spoke, saying, "Will you treat me well?"

Tan Shisheng's spirits lifted, knowing that Jiang Nian had relented. He firmly replied, "Yes."

"Then will you give me all your money? And when you earn your own money in the future, will you hand over your salary?" Jiang Nian added after speaking, "I'll keep a little bit for you as pocket money each month, the rest is mine."

Of course, Jiang Nian didn't care about these things. He would leave this world after completing his mission, so why would he care about Tan Shisheng's future? It was just for show, to establish a persona and make everyone dislike him even more.

Tan Shisheng smiled again, with a doting expression. These were things he originally intended to give to Jiang Nian, so why would he refuse? He said, "A lawyer will supervise it. All my money will be voluntarily given to you. After we get married, you can keep all my money. You can use it however you want."

"Hmm... okay."

Tan Shisheng was so unfamiliar that Jiang Nian didn't recognize him. Was this what he was like beneath that cold face? However, Jiang Nian had no intention of agreeing to his proposal. Agreeing wouldn't be good, and refusing wouldn't work either. So she resorted to the old method: give him a glimmer of hope and keep him hooked.

Wouldn't that make her seem even more ignorant and greedy?

Jiang Nian smiled slyly, like a cat stealing cream, and the adorable Tan Shisheng felt his heart melt.

Jiang Nian said, "It sounds like you're not bad..."

But before she could finish, Xu Haiyuan, standing to the side, became truly anxious. Didn't Jiang Nian like him? How could she be so easily deceived by sweet talk?! What were all these things Tan Shisheng had agreed to? Wasn't this what a good husband should do? He could do it too! He could do it even better! Why should Jiang Nian agree to Tan Shisheng's proposal?

He pushed aside the other classmates, half-knelt on the ground, held Jiang Nian's hand, and said with conviction, as if proposing marriage, "Nian Nian, don't agree to him! I can give you a brighter future!"

This interlude startled Jiang Nian, and then she subconsciously said, "But you're not as capable as Tan Shisheng..."

Xu Haiyuan's heart shattered.

This was the truth.

In terms of family background, he was indeed inferior to Tan Shisheng, but he was confident in himself as a person, though Jiang Nian clearly didn't care about that.

But was he really going to just watch his wife become someone else's wife?

Xu Haiyuan gritted his teeth; he was unwilling to accept it. He said, "Nian Nian! You can't think like that. Look, Tan Shisheng is all alone, right?"

Jiang Nian's attention was drawn to Xu Haiyuan. Although Tan Shisheng felt displeased, he remained silent out of consideration for Jiang Nian. After all, among everyone present, except for Lei Zhanxing, no one could compare to him; it was obvious who Jiang Nian would choose. He wasn't flustered.

But Xu Haiyuan didn't follow the expected pattern.

Xu Haiyuan pointed at Fu Qing, who was still pondering how to win Jiang Nian back, and then said to Jiang Nian with a serious face, "But Nian Nian, Fu Qing and I are two people. The combined power of our two families is greater than Tan Shisheng's! You can get two sets of money and two husbands at the same time. Isn't it more cost-effective for you to choose me and Fu Qing?"

Jiang Nian: "?"

Fu Qing: "Ah?... Ah, right, Nian Nian, you can think of it that way too."

Tan Shisheng: "..."

Jiang Nian never expected to hear such words from Xu Haiyuan, who had always acted very domineering. You know, in the past, even if Jiang Nian just glanced at a handsome boy passing by, Xu Haiyuan would be angry for days.

It was clear that Xu Haiyuan was really pushed to the limit.

He even thought that if Jiang Nian really intended to be with Tan Shisheng, even if his parents broke his legs and he became a mistress despised by others, he would still be with Jiang Nian.

Xu Haiyuan instantly understood. All his hesitation before was because he loved Jiang Nian. He loved Jiang Nian, he loved her unconditionally. He was willing to change himself for her.

None of these things mattered; as long as he could be with Jiang Nian, nothing else mattered.

Without Jiang Nian's future, he would die.

Zhong Rui stood behind Jiang Nian, saying nothing. Compared to the others present, he had the least right to object, as he was the last to meet Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian's feelings for others were probably deeper than hers. But doing nothing wasn't in Zhong Rui's nature. He softly said, "Jiang Nian, it's okay to have a relationship early, but getting married too early is too boring."

However, if Jiang Nian were to marry him, that would be a different story.

Pei Shuheng was even more direct. He said, "Wife, we've already been intimate, you can't abandon me!"

This time, Jiang Nian reacted, retorting, "I haven't had an intimate relationship with you!"

Why hadn't Pei Shuheng's hysteria subsided?

Pei Shuheng clearly felt wronged, but he didn't say anything. He knew Tan Shisheng's family background was better than his, and he had no friends to rally around against Tan Shisheng. So, with a pleading tone, he sincerely said, "It's okay, wife, you can take me in. I'll be your mistress, I don't mind. I just don't know if your husband will be so petty."

But he also lacked morals, so in a sense, Pei Shuheng won.

Tan Shisheng: "…………"

Tan Shisheng: "I mind."

Hearing this, Xu Haiyuan exploded again. He said, "Why is it your turn to mind! Niannian might not even choose you! If anyone should mind, it's me!"

Tan Shisheng sneered, "What do you mind? You have no bottom line and want to be with Fu Qing and Jiang Nian together. What face do you have to say you mind?"

Fu Qing had also figured it out by now. He had been thinking about stealing his brother's girlfriend earlier, so of course he wouldn't be so shameless now. He smiled and said, "But Niannian didn't refuse, did she? That proves Niannian is still considering it."

"Yeah, Niannian knows exactly what to do. Choosing us is practically harmless. No, wait, Niannian might have a harder time in bed. After all, Fu Qing and I together only have two penises. I don't know about Fu Qing's, but mine is pretty big. Niannian might have trouble swallowing it..." Xu Haiyuan's words veered off-topic.

Jiang Nian couldn't stand it anymore.

He raised his hand to cover Xu Haiyuan's increasingly shameless words. His cheeks, already flushed, were now even redder. He didn't dare think about what his classmates would think of him if they heard these words. Jiang Nian cursed Xu Haiyuan, "Shut up! You pervert! Vulgar and shameless! How dare you think about these things!"

Why wouldn't I dare to think about them?

I just want to!

Xu Haiyuan not only wanted to think about them, but he also wanted to have countless "practice activities" with Jiang Nian.

Xu Haiyuan had completely let loose. He didn't know what he had been holding back for before. What was face compared to his wife? The sooner he became shameless, the sooner he could have a wife. Thinking this, he took advantage of Jiang Nian's shyness and kissed her palm.

Jiang Nian immediately withdrew her hand, then, slightly annoyed, slapped Xu Haiyuan hard on the shoulder.

"Ah, that feels good!" Xu Haiyuan thought shamelessly.

But he didn't show it.

However, Tan Shisheng's confession was interrupted by the others, so the initial ambiguous feeling was gone. But this suited Jiang Nian's wishes perfectly; he turned to Tan Shisheng and said, "I accept your pursuit."

Xu Haiyuan was incredulous, "Wife?!"

Fu Qing also frowned.

Zhong Rui felt a little melancholy and wanted to light a cigarette.

Pei Shuheng didn't care; he was already prepared to be a mistress.

Before Tan Shisheng could even feel happy, Jiang Nian added, "However, it's just that I'm letting you pursue me; it doesn't mean I'll agree to be with you."

"You're too casual!" "

It's your first confession, and you didn't even give me a gift or flowers. You've never even pursued me before, and you just confessed directly. I think you're being very perfunctory, so I won't accept your confession."

"You need to show me sincerity, otherwise you're just a terrible liar, and I hate men like that the most!"

Tan Shisheng regretted his actions after hearing this. Indeed, this confession was too impulsive, making him seem like a scumbag trying to get something for nothing. It's normal for Jiang Nian to distrust him. Tan Shisheng said seriously, "It's my fault. I will pursue you seriously, and I will prove to you, Jiang Nian, that I'm not just being perfunctory."

After saying that, Tan Shisheng took out his phone to transfer money to Jiang Nian, but Jiang Nian refused. It wouldn't be considered manipulative if he had asked for it.

Tan Shisheng was in his first relationship and still didn't quite know how to appease his boyfriend.

Xu Haiyuan felt relieved, but not entirely at ease. At least Jiang Nian had given Tan Shisheng a chance, so he immediately followed suit, saying, "Niannian, I want to pursue you too. Give me a chance too!"

"No," Jiang Nian said deliberately.

Xu Haiyuan was dejected for a few seconds, then cheered up and said to Jiang Nian, "Fine, I won't. I'm going to pursue you. It's my own decision, and it's none of your business." His

handsome face was full of seriousness.

Suddenly, Fu Qing shook his phone and said to Jiang Nian, "Niannian, I've started pursuing you."

Jiang Nian didn't react immediately; the alcohol had made her a little dazed. The others reacted and quickly took out their phones to transfer money to Jiang Nian.

For a moment, Jiang Nian's phone was ringing incessantly.

If Anshan hadn't forbidden the destruction of nature, Xu Haiyuan would have picked flowers on the spot to give to Jiang Nian. They could only do that back at the academy.

They didn't just want to give her flowers; they had so many other things they wanted to give Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian hadn't expected things to turn out this way. It wasn't what he'd imagined. Why didn't anyone dislike him? Why did everyone seem so willing? How was he supposed to complete his mission like this?

Jiang Nian was somewhat frustrated.

He stood up, holding his wine jug, wanting to be alone for a while to think about how to complete the mission. Tan Shisheng and the others wanted to follow, but Jiang Nian refused, saying, "Don't follow me. I want to get some fresh air. Your behavior today is a bit hard to understand. I want to be alone for a while."

"I need to think carefully about what's going on between us."

Hearing this, Tan Shisheng and the others didn't dare move, afraid that Jiang Nian would find them annoying.

Jiang Nian's distress was understandable. He had flirted with others before, but no one had responded positively. Now, suddenly, someone wanted to pursue him; he must find it unbelievable.

Jiang Nian pushed through the crowd, sipping his wine as he walked. The bright moon in the sky illuminated his path.

He didn't plan to go too far; he just wanted to lie down in a quiet place, feel the evening breeze, and look up at the moon.

Although Tan Shisheng and the others didn't follow, their eyes were all fixed on Jiang Nian, not leaving her. Seeing Jiang Nian lying on the grass not far away, they felt relieved.

What they didn't see was that shortly afterward, someone else lay down next to Jiang Nian.

His movements were quiet, and the surroundings were noisy, so Jiang Nian didn't notice.

By the time Jiang Nian realized something was wrong, he had been blindfolded, picked up, and, using the crowd for cover, taken to a tent with a dim lantern.

Broad, strong arms, a warm chest, breath on his neck—everything felt familiar.

It was the pervert from the bathroom last time!

The pervert muttered behind him, "If you don't show up soon, you'll run off with someone else, won't you?"

"Baby, why is your taste still so bad? You should choose the best husband, shouldn't you?"

Jiang Nian didn't understand what he was talking about and mumbled a few sounds.

What Jiang Nian didn't notice was that the pervert's voice had been masked last time, making it unrecognizable, but this time it was very obvious. If Jiang Nian thought carefully, he would know who the pervert was.

But Jiang Nian didn't think about it.

He just hadn't expected the pervert to come on the trip with him. Who was he? A classmate or a freshman? Jiang Nian subconsciously ignored the student council members.

The pervert smiled, quite pleased, and said, "Sorry, I always scare you when we meet. I won't do it this time."

"Okay, we're here."

Jiang Nian had been restrained the whole way, without even a chance to break free, but once inside the tent, the pervert loosened his grip and stopped talking, giving Jiang Nian a chance to escape his embrace.

After breaking free, Jiang Nian's first instinct was to run away, but the pervert who had been forcibly restraining him was now completely still. This made Jiang Nian, as he stepped out of the tent, inexplicably turn around and look behind him.

In the moonlight and lamplight, Jiang Nian saw the pervert's face clearly.

It was someone Jiang Nian never expected.

Not exactly familiar, but his handsome face and those signature, untamed eyes were unforgettable.

It was Lei Zhanxing.

But unlike the usual Lei Zhanxing, when he saw Jiang Nian turn around, a refined smile appeared on his face. Sitting in the tent, he made no attempt to hide his true self, his every movement still as bold and unrestrained as ever. He said, "Why aren't you running anymore?"

"Baby."
