 "...Lei Zhanxing, you're crazy." Jiang Nian said coldly.

Lei Zhanxing smiled unexpectedly, very faintly.

He thought, he had been crazy for a long time, from the first moment he saw Jiang Nian.

...

No one was happy on this trip, except perhaps Lei Zhanxing.

Tan Shisheng finally contacted Lei Zhanxing one afternoon. The two were not close, only colleagues, but both were smart people. They stood at the villa door for a long time without speaking. Finally, Tan Shisheng spoke: "Didn't you say you weren't interested in Nian Nian?"

Lei Zhanxing was still thinking about Jiang Nian, afraid that she would take the opportunity to ask Tan Shisheng for help. He glanced at the door and replied casually: "People change."

Tan Shisheng wanted to sneer, but he held back. He said: "But Nian Nian doesn't like you, and she has already agreed to consider my pursuit. Chairman Lei, others may be afraid of you, but I'm not."

Only then did Lei Zhanxing turn his gaze to Tan Shisheng. He knew that Tan Shisheng had the right to receive Jiang Nian's favor, but so what? Lei Zhanxing said, "Don't joke around. I'm just agreeing to your pursuit. Even if Jiang Nian were your wife, I would still love her."

"...Besides, with me here, the only one who can marry her is me."

Lei Zhanxing had the right to say that.

There was no need to continue the conversation. Tan Shisheng had only come to confirm whether Lei Zhanxing was truly his rival in love. He wasn't an impulsive person; he would rescue Jiang Nian from Lei Zhanxing, but not by force. That wouldn't be wise, and it would be futile.

However, just as the two were about to part on bad terms, a clear shout suddenly rang out from the air.

"Tan Shisheng—"

Lei Zhanxing and Tan Shisheng turned at the same time towards the source of the voice. On the second-floor balcony of a modestly styled villa, Jiang Nian, dressed in white pajamas, with a slender figure and beautiful face, waved to Tan Shisheng, his voice light and cheerful. He called out, "Tan Shisheng! Come here! Catch me—"

After saying that, Jiang Nian tried to climb onto the stone railing of the balcony, but his slippers were too in the way, so he took them off and climbed up barefoot, his bare feet exposed in the air.

He had learned this trick of jumping off the building from his son in the previous world, but Jiang Nian was not as bold and impulsive as his son. He had discussed it with the system, and the system would secretly hold Jiang Nian back and prevent him from being harmed in the slightest.

If it weren't for Lei Zhanxing's overbearing attitude, not allowing Jiang Nian to go out even once and locking all the doors and windows on the first floor, Jiang Nian wouldn't have resorted to this tactic. He had finally waited for Tan Shisheng, and he couldn't miss this opportunity.

What Jiang Nian knew, Lei Zhanxing and Tan Shisheng didn't. Seeing Jiang Nian about to jump from the second floor, they panicked and ran towards the balcony without a word. Lei Zhanxing was especially anxious, losing all composure and shouting, "Jiang Nian! Don't be impulsive! I'll let you out. This is too dangerous, not worth it!"

But Jiang Nian didn't stop. He mumbled a few words, unheard by anyone, but clearly showing his distrust of Lei Zhanxing.

Then he glanced down at the ground, like a bird spreading its wings, and jumped from the balcony. The wind blew his clothes, his black hair entwined with his long eyelashes, which trembled, casting a shadow on his cheek. Everything seemed to play in slow motion, endlessly in Lei Zhanxing and Tan Shisheng's eyes.

It was midday, and the sun's rays bathed Jiang Nian, making him look like…

an angel.

Lei Zhanxing was closer than Tan Shisheng, and so, the angel landed in his arms.

Because Lei Zhanxing caught Jiang Nian, the system, to avoid arousing his suspicion, reduced its force slightly. However, this was only to prevent Jiang Nian from getting hurt, so Lei Zhanxing still stumbled back a few steps with Jiang Nian in his arms due to the impact.

Jiang Nian wasn't there for Lei Zhanxing to catch him. After Lei Zhanxing regained his balance, Jiang Nian pushed him away, jumped to the ground, ran a few steps, and threw herself into the arms of Tan Shisheng, who was looking at him with concern.

Lei Zhanxing stood there, stunned.

...An angel had abandoned him.

Tan Shisheng, who looked refined, effortlessly picked up Jiang Nian, his large hands supporting her dusty feet from walking on the grass. He looked at the gloomy-faced Lei Zhanxing and said, "I'm leaving with Nian Nian."

Lei Zhanxing ignored Tan Shisheng and looked at Jiang Nian, who was leaning on Tan Shisheng's shoulder. Jiang Nian's eyes were half-closed, concealing the thoughts in them, and she didn't respond to Lei Zhanxing's meaning.

“…Okay, okay.” Lei Zhanxing felt a pang of heartache again. He said “okay” countless times, finally acquiescing to Tan Shisheng taking Jiang Nian away.

Jiang Nian’s actions today had left a mark of fear in his heart. He didn’t want Jiang Nian to do anything to hurt herself again, and he would give her some time.

But he thought Jiang Nian would come back; Jiang Nian had to come back.

Tan Shisheng took Jiang Nian back to his dormitory. Although it wasn’t a villa, it was a large, single-level room that had been converted into a single floor. Tan Shisheng had Jiang Nian sit on the sofa while he went to the bathroom, wet a towel, and half-squatted down, lifting Jiang Nian’s delicate, white feet and carefully wiping them with the towel.

After wiping them clean, Tan Shisheng held Jiang Nian’s feet and gently kissed the instep.

He calmly looked at Jiang Nian's gaze and said softly, "Nian Nian, you must have been scared these past few days."

Tan Shisheng said sincerely, "I don't have any other skills, but I can assure you that as long as I'm here, it's your freedom to choose who your boyfriend is."

Jiang Nian gently pulled her foot away from Tan Shisheng's hand and sat half-upright on the sofa. She thought about it; aside from worrying about the mission, she was actually doing quite well with Lei Zhanxing. But Jiang Nian still said, "Even if I don't choose you as my boyfriend?"

Tan Shisheng's expression remained unchanged. He stood up with a towel and said, "Yes, even if you don't choose me."

That's good, much more obedient than Lei Zhanxing.

Jiang Nian thought.

But she couldn't choose either of them.

After watching Tan Shisheng come out of the bathroom, Jiang Nian thought of a plan. Although she couldn't choose either of them, she could give Tan Shisheng a little something, and then make Lei Zhanxing so angry that he would give up on her. Jiang

Nian didn't take Lei Zhanxing's crazy words to heart.

So, after Tan Shisheng sat down beside him, Jiang Nian pushed him down, and facing his unusually speechless expression, naturally straddled his waist, smiling as she asked, "Are you hard?"

The question was superfluous; almost the instant the words left her lips, Jiang Nian could feel an erection pressing against her buttocks.

Jiang Nian laughed, reaching out to pull on Tan Shisheng's tie, tightening it slightly. Her innocent face held an unusual allure, radiating charm. She said, "Tan Shisheng, hug me."

Tan Shisheng had already lost control of his heartbeat the moment Jiang Nian sat on him. The tie pressed against his neck, robbing him of his breath, and Jiang Nian's condescending gaze robbed him of his reason.

But Tan Shisheng's love for Jiang Nian still outweighed his desire.

After his initial excitement, he quickly realized that Jiang Nian's sudden change was because of Lei Zhanxing.

Jiang Nian wanted to use him to get back at Lei Zhanxing.

But why? Lei Zhanxing should be Jiang Nian's ideal type, yet Jiang Nian so rejects him. Tan Shisheng knows there must be some reason he doesn't know.

Tan Shisheng doesn't care why Jiang Nian doesn't like Lei Zhanxing; what he cares about is that Jiang Nian will treat him the same way.

Because everything that had happened before indicated that Jiang Nian seemed to be avoiding the top tier of people at Florod Academy.

Only by solving this mystery could Jiang Nian truly accept him.

So Tan Shisheng said, "Nian Nian, I want you, but I don't want you to make this choice impulsively. It's not fair to you."

"Hmph. What are you thinking? I'm not the kind of person who would wrong myself for someone else." Jiang Nian loosened his tie, bent down, and moved closer to Tan Shisheng. Their breaths mingled as he said, "If you can't do it, I'll go find someone else."

"Besides... this is my first time." His

first time having sex in this world. Jiang Nian added inwardly.

He hadn't been a virgin for a long time, not just after losing his memory.

Jiang Nian had this thought for no reason.

These words left Tan Shisheng stunned. His breathing quickened, and just when Jiang Nian thought he would hold back, he suddenly erupted, grabbing Jiang Nian's cheeks and kissing her deeply. He was completely devoid of his usual composure and self-control, like a ravenous wolf, devouring Jiang Nian's mouth until she couldn't breathe. Only then did he release her, panting, "Nian Nian, me too, it's my first time too. Although I have no experience, I've done my research... I won't hurt you."

Tan Shisheng didn't have a virginity complex; it didn't matter that Jiang Nian wasn't a virgin. However, he was still a man, and how could he resist the advances of his beloved?

Tan Shisheng brushed the hair clinging to Jiang Nian's cheek with his fingers, his eyes overflowing with tenderness that almost drowned her. He murmured, "...Baby, you can't regret it after you do it."

Then he kissed Jiang Nian's eyelids.

Afterwards

, Tan Shisheng carried the drowsy Jiang Nian to the bathroom to clean her rear. But being a virgin, he couldn't resist and had sex with her again.

When they finally stopped, Jiang Nian was so tired she could barely lift her fingers, but she still forced herself to take a selfie. Tan Shisheng didn't say anything, silently massaging her.

Jiang Nian looked at the photo on her phone. It was taken casually and was a little blurry, but it couldn't hide the fact that her delicate skin was covered in red and blue hickeys and bite marks.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian couldn't help but slap Tan Shisheng, who didn't flinch.

After slapping Tan Shisheng, Jiang Nian sent the photo to Lei Zhanxing, saying:

【Niannian loves you】: First green hat. 【Heart】【Heart】

At this moment, Lei Zhanxing, who had been engrossed in spending time with Jiang Nian and had a mountain of unfinished business, was working in the student council office. Upon seeing the text message from Jiang Nian, his expression remained unchanged as he tapped his fingers on the table.

Then, in the student council room, where only the sound of keyboards clicking could be heard, a loud crash suddenly rang out.

An expensive cell phone smashed to the ground, completely destroyed.

Lei Zhanxing breathed heavily, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. The student council members all stopped what they were doing and looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with Lei Zhanxing.

But no one dared to ask.

Because Lei Zhanxing's expression was so violent, it looked like his wife had run off with someone else.

Lei Zhanxing calmed himself down.

No one knew that his two personalities were constantly switching.

The primary personality said, "I'm going to imprison him."

"I want him to only have eyes for me day and night."

The secondary personality said, "He's doing this because he cares about us, cares about our thoughts. How cute, trying to provoke us into giving up on him through this."

"He probably doesn't know I don't care about this. Everyone else is just a hotel to him, only we are his home."

The primary personality said disdainfully, "I do care."

The secondary personality laughed, "Be generous, baby's still young, it's normal to be playful."

The primary personality: "..."

"Anyway, I won't give up."

The secondary personality said, "Me too."

The two personalities said in unison, "Since he said he'd do it,

then they will too. "

Every word Lei Zhanxing said to Jiang Nian, every single one, was his true feeling.

Every time Jiang Nian did it with someone else, he would do it with Jiang Nian.

He wouldn't break his promise.

As Jiang Nian nestled in Tan Shisheng's arms to sleep, he suddenly shivered. Tan Shisheng hugged Jiang Nian tighter and asked, "Is the air conditioning too low?"

Jiang Nian gently shook his head.

He just... didn't know why he suddenly felt uncertain about completing the mission.
