Chapter 1650: I Can Be Your Model Too

That aroma was like a hook, hooking Jiang Motian so that she wished she could grab a pair of chopsticks right now and feast!

But in this instant, the image of a certain guy who could only eat instant noodles and takeout suddenly surfaced in Jiang Motian's mind...

Really, why would she think of him?

And the weirdest thing was, once she thought of him, Jiang Motian felt an urgent desire to...

Jiang Motian pursed her lips, then put the lid back on.

Afterwards, she said to Wei Yangyang, "I have a bit of stomach heat lately, I can't eat these greasy things."

"Is that so? Then I'll take it back..."

As Wei Yangyang said this, she even reached out her hand.

But Jiang Motian actually dodged her hand unobtrusively and said righteously, "Since you've already brought it over, it wouldn't be good to take it back. How about I send it to the house next door?"

Wei Yangyang was a bit confused and asked, "Next door?"

"Yes, Xie Wanyi lives there."

"But shouldn't he have left by now?"

"He doesn't have anywhere else to stay for the time being, so he wanted to stay for a while longer. My courtyard is empty anyway, so I just let him stay."

Jiang Motian explained in a flat tone.

Wei Yangyang nodded lightly.

But her eyes were still a bit dazed.

Her gaze remained on the insulated lunch box.

Then she muttered, "You're letting him stay for free, and you even want to bring him food. Tiantian, you are... you are..."

Wei Yangyang's tone suddenly paused.

And her unfinished sentence actually made Jiang Motian suddenly nervous.

Wei Yangyang wasn't trying to keep anyone in suspense on purpose; she was just searching for an adjective.

Finally, she found it.

She even clapped her hands and said excitedly, "You are truly warm-hearted! How about I help you deliver it?"

Hearing those four words, Jiang Motian actually relaxed a little.

But as soon as she heard Wei Yangyang's follow-up, she immediately refused, "No need, no need, I'll just go in a bit. Also, didn't you say you were going to see a client this afternoon?"

Wei Yangyang checked the time and said with annoyance, "Oh, you're right, I have to go."

"Then be careful on the road!"

Hm?

Not sure if it was Wei Yangyang's imagination, but she felt... Jiang Motian was a bit impatient for her to leave?

As soon as this thought popped into Wei Yangyang's head, she quickly shook it off.

She felt she must be overthinking it.

But this time, Wei Yangyang really wasn't overthinking it.

Jiang Motian waited for Wei Yangyang to leave, then carried the lunch box and went next door.

But after arriving, she realized that at this time, Xie Wanyi was very likely not there.

If he wasn't there, should she just leave the lunch box at the door?

No, what if someone else took it?

Then, throw it inside?

That didn't seem right either; the lunch box wasn't that sturdy, it would be bad if it broke.

Jiang Motian knocked on the door absent-mindedly while hesitating.

She seemed certain that there would be no response from inside.

But what Jiang Motian didn't know was that this courtyard had already been fitted with airtight surveillance equipment by Ling Yu.

So from the moment Jiang Motian stood there hesitating, Ling Yu had already spotted her.

When Jiang Motian knocked on the door, he opened it immediately and greeted her with a smile.

Suddenly seeing an unexpected face, Jiang Motian was startled.

Immediately, she thought of something, slowly calmed down, and muttered, "Forgot there was another person."

This mutter of hers caused Ling Yu's smile to crack instantly.

After a moment, he grumbled unwillingly, "So young, yet so forgetful."

Jiang Motian seemed not to have heard his grumbling and just asked, "Xie Wanyi hasn't returned yet?"

"Not yet."

"Then... please take this."

Saying this, Jiang Motian handed over a lunch box.

Ling Yu looked at the lunch box and raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Motian explained, "You guys probably don't cook, but always eating instant noodles and takeout isn't good. This was made by an aunt I know; it's delicious. If you don't mind, keep it and eat it."

Ling Yu pursed his lips, staring at the lunch box.

Then, while opening the lid, he said, "Although we don't cook, we are very picky about our food too. If it's not—holy crap!"

The moment the lid was opened, a fragrant aroma wafted out.

Instantly, Ling Yu was so tempted that his mouth began to water uncontrollably!

He stared straight at the lunch box, as if he hadn't had a full meal in eight hundred years.

In fact, for any normal person, after eating instant noodles for ten days straight, seeing a delicacy would make them look like a starving wolf.

But Jiang Motian didn't know about Ling Yu's experience.

She only felt... that the way his eyes were shining was quite pitiful.

Jiang Motian sighed softly, then said, "Even if life isn't going well, you still have to eat properly; your health is the capital of revolution, after all."

Ling Yu swallowed again before reluctantly shifting his gaze to look at Jiang Motian.

And with this once-over, Ling Yu pondered something else.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Miss Jiang is truly kind; so, are you this good to everyone, or just to Wanyi?"

Although Ling Yu was cocky, he still had some self-awareness.

He could guess that Jiang Motian bringing things over had to do with Xie Wanyi.

Jiang Motian's reaction to this was calm: "Xie Wanyi was my model; we had a pleasant collaboration, so it is only right that I show some concern."

So he was a model...

Ling Yu blinked, his smile ambiguous: "Actually, I can be your model too; a figure model would work as well!"

As he spoke, Ling Yu even flexed his arm to show off his biceps.

Jiang Motian, however, did not look and turned to leave.

This made Ling Yu feel regretful.

He thought that for his next step, he was going to show off his abs.

Jiang Motian, walking in a hurry, felt a wave of annoyance.

Her brows were also furrowed tightly.

Because she was walking fast, she almost bumped into a man walking from the opposite direction.

Xie Wanyi considerately steadied Jiang Motian's arm and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hearing this voice, Jiang Motian looked up, about to speak.

But when the words reached her lips, she closed them again, shook her head with a forced smile, and walked past him.

This version of Jiang Motian left Xie Wanyi completely bewildered.

He walked into the courtyard with a hesitant expression, and then, between one breath and the next, he smelled a fragrance.

Ling Yu was just about to sneak a bite, and seeing Xie Wanyi return, he joked, "What, did you smell the scent and come back?"

Xie Wanyi stared intently at the lunch box and asked, "Where did this come from?"

"The beautiful neighbor brought it; smell it, it's incredibly fragrant!"

Jiang Motian brought it...

But she had left this place with a furrowed brow...

Xie Wanyi realized something, and he slammed the lid of the lunch box shut.

Then, with a serious face, he asked Ling Yu, "What did you say to her?"

"Just... thanked her?"

"And what else?"

"Nothing else."

Xie Wanyi narrowed his eyes, his voice unkind: "If you don't tell the truth, don't bother eating."

As he spoke, he picked up the lunch box and started to walk away.

Ling Yu panicked; he grabbed Xie Wanyi's sleeve and begged, "Don't, you can't finish all that by yourself!"

"I can feed it to the stray dogs."

"Then I'll be the stray dog!"

Saying this, Ling Yu even barked "Woof woof" twice.
