Chapter 116: Living Together with the Yujie

Jiang Cheng grabbed her hand and said, "If your feet hurt, just wear less high heels!"

Heh.

Su Manyao gave a cold laugh, "If I don't wear high heels, will you stare at me?"

Jiang Cheng fell silent.

That one sentence was seen through by the Yujie.

If the Yujie doesn't wear high heels, he really wouldn't stare.

If he wants to look, he'd look elsewhere.

The Yujie turned on the TV, and Jiang Cheng looked around.

After a while, Su Manyao glanced at Jiang Cheng with her big eyes.

Then she pulled her feet out of his big palm, slipped into slippers, stood up and said, "Wait a moment."

Next, he saw her wearing high heels, going tap-tap toward the bathroom.

After a while, the Yujie came out of the bathroom again, her feet wet.

She took a tissue from the coffee table and wiped the water dry.

Then she placed her feet in Jiang Cheng's embrace and said, "Can I eat now?"

Jiang Cheng:???

"Am I that kind of person!"

"You're insulting me!"

"You're slandering me!"

The Yujie said coldly, "So, do you want it or not?"

Jiang Cheng said angrily, "Yes!"

…

The next morning after getting up, Jiang Cheng went to the kitchen and cooked porridge.

These were the ingredients that Jiang Cheng had Su Manyao call the property management to have delivered last night.

He basically figured out a problem.

The Yujie said letting him stay at her place wasn't just for one night.

But rather, he doesn't need to rent a place anymore; he can keep living here from now on!

The porridge was cooking in the kitchen, Jiang Cheng sat on the sofa looking at his phone, mainly checking some news.

Most of it was entertainment-related.

After all, his studio follows this line, so he thought he should at least somewhat understand this world's entertainment circle.

The porridge was halfway done.

A sound came from Su Manyao's bedroom door opening.

Su Manyao wore flesh-colored ice-silk pajamas, with toe-exposing slippers on her feet, hands behind her back, she hopped to the living room.

Jiang Cheng lifted his head, his heart slightly surprised.

As it turned out, the aloof Yujie also had a cute side at home.

"Smells great, what are you making?" Su Manyao asked.

Jiang Cheng said, "The kitchen is cooking porridge; it'll be ready to eat in a moment."

Compared to the first time he came to the Yujie's home, today the Yujie is much more natural, no longer avoiding him like last time.

Instead, with hands behind her back, her slippers dragging on the floor, she slid toward the kitchen: "I'll go take a look; there's never been this kind of fragrance at home before."

Jiang Cheng got up and followed, seeing the Yujie's rule-breaking back view, the ice-silk pajamas couldn't contain it.

He saw the Yujie wrinkle her nose and say, "I can't hold back wanting to eat."

Jiang Cheng stood beside her and said, "I can't hold back wanting to eat either."

Su Manyao turned her face to look at Jiang Cheng, glaring at him and said, "You can't eat during the day!"

Jiang Cheng:???

He looked at the Yujie again and lowered his head to take a look!

He shouted, "It was fine yesterday; since it's over, you can't bring it up!"

The aloof Yujie, after being yelled at by Jiang Cheng, was like a tiny grass in a violent storm!

The Yujie was yelled at, she felt angry but knew she was in the wrong.

Sitting on the sofa, she lifted her feet, stayed silent, waiting to drink the porridge.

But it's obvious that today the Yujie's complexion is much better than before.

A fair face, emitting a rosy glow.

"Tonight my best friend is coming over to play."

Su Manyao, sitting on the sofa, suddenly said.

Jiang Cheng was in the kitchen watching the porridge he was boiling, he froze for a moment, turned back and said, "Okay, got it."

To be honest, Jiang Cheng felt a bit displeased. The Yujie let him stay here, but when her best friend came, she wanted him to disappear.

Although he didn't think it was terribly unreasonable, he still felt a sense of loss.

"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Su Manyao asked.

Jiang Cheng, feeling angry, said, "I didn't say I don't want to; I'm actually happy."

Su Manyao could see he was clearly unhappy, so she said, "Then tell me what you plan to do."

"Heh, let me go out, and you still want to control what I do!"

Jiang Cheng said, "I can just do whatever, like invite a few female classmates to go eat, sing, chat about life, talk about ideals—anything goes!"

Su Manyao sprang to her feet, glaring at Jiang Cheng, "I said my best friend is coming over to my place, and you still want to go on a date with a female classmate?"

Jiang Cheng was truly angry, not expecting Yujie to have such strong control tendencies, and he likewise said in a cold voice, "Then what do you say I should do?"

"Make something delicious!" Su Manyao said, puffing with anger.

Ah?

Jiang Cheng was dazed; it turned out Yujie meant making something delicious?

Su Manyao said, "I can't cook at all; look, your dumplings and noodles are so tasty. My best friend is coming over to my place—shouldn't you make something nice for her?"

!

Jiang Cheng just chuckled and said, "That's right, that makes sense."

"I just remembered—you just yelled at me!" Su Manyao suddenly said.

Jiang Cheng stared, his head full of question marks!

How come we're settling scores after the fact now?

Isn't everything between us already over?

"You say you just yelled at me, didn't you!" Su Manyao said in an icy tone.

Jiang Cheng said, "I don't think so."

"You definitely yelled at me—hand over your hand!" Su Manyao said, her gaze lingering on Jiang Cheng's fingers.

Jiang Cheng handed over his hand.

Su Manyao hesitated a moment, feeling that in broad daylight, her sudden impulse might have been too obvious.

So she turned and sat down on the sofa, saying nothing.

Jiang Cheng didn't know what came over Yujie, and he sheepishly withdrew his hand.

Only when Jiang Cheng brought the porridge to the table did Su Manyao sniff and sneak a glance.

"Can we eat now?"

Jiang Cheng said, "It's ready, come sit down."

……

Because Su Manyao said her best friend would come that evening, she had Jiang Cheng make something delicious.

So Jiang Cheng went back to the dorm in the afternoon to fetch his clothes.

Although Su Manyao's household had all the necessities, it didn't have his clothes.

Regarding Su Manyao's best friend coming over and what to make for her to eat that night, Jiang Cheng didn't think much about it.

He'd just whip up some home-style dishes—after all, he's no master chef.

The only thing that surprised Jiang Cheng was that the aloof Yujie actually had a best friend?

Moreover, he was a bit curious about Su Manyao's best friend.

Don't get the wrong idea—it's just simple curiosity.

Jiang Cheng wondered whether Su Manyao's best friend would also be as cold as a lump of ice, just like her.

But he guessed as much—after all, like attracts like, birds of a feather flock together.

Only ice cubes could hang out together.

No.

Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that his own statement wasn't right either.

It's not necessary that only ice cubes can hang out together.

Just like he himself isn't an ice cube, but he quite enjoys eating ice cubes.

Slurp… Jiang Cheng took a sip, then left the door, hailed a taxi, and headed to school.

Go to the dorm to get clothes.

Su Manyao's parents were at home.

At that moment, guests arrived.

The young master of the Li family from the capital, Li Shuhan, arrived bearing gifts.

Wang Lin opened the door to let him in; accompanying him was also Uncle Wang.

As soon as Li Shuhan entered, Wang Lin gave him a once-over, thinking the young man looked quite handsome.

But standing beside Jiang Cheng, although he wasn't inferior in any aspect and might even be somewhat better,

but Wang Lin always felt he lacked a certain flavor.
