Chapter 121: Such a great guy—I'm definitely going to go after him!
Si Ling's hands are as small as her feet, very dainty.
Her dainty fingers were wrapped in disposable gloves, and Jiang Cheng took hold of her hand and began to knead.
Then Si Ling kept directing:
"Here, here needs to be kneaded; kneading it will help it absorb better."
"And this finger gap also needs to be worked into."
"Yes, put your finger in there and move it."
Her little toes tapped on Jiang Cheng's leg, seeming quite happy.
Normally, when she's alone at home, wanting to do a hand mask is really inconvenient.
Having someone help just now makes it much better.
At that moment a thought arose in her heart: having a boyfriend would also be nice.
At least when eating durian and getting sticky hands, a boyfriend could help wash them.
Or when doing a hand mask, a boyfriend could help put on gloves and help knead.
Thinking this, she suddenly froze—aren't these exactly the things Jiang Cheng did today?
Just then.
Crack!
The bathroom door opened, Su Manyao came out, her hair still somewhat damp, and she held the towel in her hand pressed against her chest.
As soon as she came out, she saw Jiang Cheng and Si Ling sitting on the sofa.
Her gaze fell on Jiang Cheng's hand, seeing him helping Si Ling with a hand mask.
Instantly her gaze shot toward Si Ling like a knife!
This girl actually dared to sweet-talk my college student while I wasn't around!
She could be sure Jiang Cheng was being sweet-talked by Si Ling; Si Ling is full of tricks and wicked ideas, and most importantly she knows Si Ling is a hand fetishist!
Actually she is too, but Si Ling doesn't know she is!
So she knows how attractive Jiang Cheng's pair of hands are to a hand fetishist!
Si Ling definitely can't resist the temptation!
She thinks that after Si Ling leaves, she must have a good talk with Jiang Cheng, indirectly, so he won't be sweet-talked by Si Ling again next time!
Si Ling saw Su Manyao come out, and her heart also jumped.
Taking advantage of her best friend's absence, she sweet-talked her college student into giving her a hand mask!
But she immediately recalled that Su Manyao herself had said Jiang Cheng wasn't her boyfriend.
Instantly Si Ling felt justified again.
"Jiang Cheng, also here, this side also needs kneading."
Si Ling continued directing, just like that in front of Su Manyao.
Su Manyao walked over gritting her teeth, sat on the nearby sofa, and used the towel to wipe her still-not-dry hair.
She doesn't like blowing her hair completely dry, as that's bad for hair quality.
The water droplets at the ends of her hair were flicked onto her collarbone as she wiped them.
Jiang Cheng lifted his head and saw this scene, instantly feeling a bit light-headed.
If it weren't for Su Manyao's best friend being here, he would surely have pounced at this moment.
Although other things can't be done, hugging his roommate's sister is still fine.
Si Ling felt Su Manyao's gaze, knowing Su Manyao was gritting her teeth.
Instantly she felt great inside; the grudge from just being teamed up with durian is finally avenged!
"Jiang Cheng, you're amazing!" Si Ling lifted her head and said with a smile.
It's obviously done for Su Manyao to see.
But Jiang Cheng doesn't know that there are all these twists and turns between the two best friends.
He grabbed Si Ling's hand and quickly kneaded it a few times.
Then he stood up and said, "Alright, that's about enough."
"You sit a bit; I'll boil the soup on high heat, and we can eat soon."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng winked at Su Manyao, who was looking at him, then walked toward the kitchen.
After Jiang Cheng left, Si Ling turned to Su Manyao and teased, "Jiang Cheng really isn't your boyfriend?"
Su Manyao glanced at her and said, "What's up? Why are you so concerned?"
Si Ling said: "I just think Jiang Cheng is great; being a boyfriend would be excellent. You don't even admit it—aren't you worried he'll run off?" Su Manyao's heart twisted, she looked at Si Ling and said, "You've taken a liking to him?"
"Yeah." Si Ling jumped from the sofa to Su Manyao's side, sat beside her, and said: "If you don't like him, give him to me—I'll go after him!"
Su Manyao glared at her and said: "You're so much older than him, yet you still want him as your boyfriend—aren't you ashamed?"
Actually, Su Manyao was saying that to herself as well.
Si Ling tilted her head, giggling: "What's there to be shy about? I'm pursuing him with my own ability—I deserve to enjoy it."
"He's younger than me—so what? I just like younger brothers!"
Su Manyao pressed her lips together and said nothing.
She just wanted Si Ling to finish eating quickly, then send her away, never to let her come again!
…
Jiang Cheng returned to the kitchen, busied himself a while, and the soup was ready without taking much time.
!
Then he spent some time stir-frying two small dishes.
Soon they could eat, Jiang Cheng placed the dishes and soup on the restaurant table.
But he noticed that the atmosphere between Su Manyao and Si Ling over at the restaurant seemed off.
Then the three of them sat down to eat.
Si Ling looked at a tomato scrambled egg, picked up a piece and ate it, immediately nodding repeatedly and giving a thumbs-up, saying: "Really delicious!"
In another small stir-fry plate was diced chicken; Si Ling picked up her chopsticks and also took a piece, putting it in her mouth.
After chewing slowly, she opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue, and fanned herself with her hand, saying: "Spicy, spicy, spicy, I need water!"
Jiang Cheng pushed the cup beside him toward her; she picked up the cup and gulped a big mouthful.
Su Manyao sat coldly to the side; seeing Si Ling say the dish was delicious, she also felt a bit curious.
She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of diced chicken, and put it in her mouth.
Then her eyes lit up.
She could handle spice; not saying how delicious this diced chicken was, compared to those big hotels it was still a bit lacking, but the point was, this was actually made by Jiang Cheng.
The meaning was different.
She looked at Jiang Cheng with a somewhat deep gaze.
Si Ling waited a while, and finally it wasn't so spicy anymore.
Then she picked up her chopsticks, started putting vegetables into Jiang Cheng's bowl, saying: "Jiang Cheng, you should eat more; the school meals probably can't be cooked by yourself, right?"
That hit Jiang Cheng right in the heart; he nodded and said: "Yes, so when I'm not at school I want to make something to eat myself."
Si Ling said: "Then eat more, you're amazing, the dishes you make are really delicious."
Su Manyao sat at the side, her eyes flashing with cold light.
She wanted to throw Si Ling out right now.
But she could only blame herself for not admitting earlier that Jiang Cheng was her boyfriend!
Now she just felt furious!
She was dying of anger, dying of anger!
Jiang Cheng's bowl was piled high with the vegetables Si Ling had added; he saw Su Manyao sitting at the side, seeming to have no appetite.
He picked up an empty bowl, filled it with clam soup, and placed it before Su Manyao: "Have a bowl of soup first, then eat."
Su Manyao's eyes brightened a bit: "Okay!"
For some reason, she suddenly felt her mood improve, as if Si Ling didn't seem so dislikeable anymore.
As she was leaving, Si Ling put on her own high heels, walked out the gate, turned back and waved at Su Manyao and Jiang Cheng, saying: "I'll come again when I have time in a couple days."
Su Manyao shut the door with a "pa-da" sound.
Never come again.
