Chapter 159: The Sister Within Reach Can't Fly

After eating, Jiang Cheng tidied up. Originally Yujie was supposed to do the tidying, but having learned from past experience, Jiang Cheng worried she'd scatter their few bowls all over the floor, and he'd end up having to clean them up.

So he might as well do it himself.

Su Manyao felt she hadn't done anything for dinner, yet wanted to tidy up but was stopped by Jiang Cheng, leaving her somewhat speechless, but her heart felt warm.

"I'll go take a shower and change clothes; wait for me a moment."

Su Manyao said that and went back to the bedroom.

Jiang Cheng knew she meant she would go out for a walk later.

After finishing tidying the dishes on the table, Jiang Cheng sat on the living-room sofa and took out his phone.

As for how to turn raw rice into cooked rice, Jiang Cheng really had no idea.

He thought of calling Su Peng to ask, but realizing he was cooking someone else's sister, it would be awkward to ask how to cook her raw rice, which felt a bit unbrotherly.

"No way, I'm not that kind of person!"

"Then let's search online."

Jiang Cheng opened the short-video platform, tapped the magnifying-glass button, about to search how to take the final step with his girlfriend, but after opening the search button, he saw a familiar phrase in the hot list below.

【Jin Ge Shou latest news: the champion will receive a 2 million prize!】

Holy crap!

Jiang Cheng's finger, poised to click search, froze!

His personal account had only a few hundred thousand, and hearing Chu Siqi say the company account still had some money, he guessed it wouldn't exceed 500,000.

In other words, the company's reserve funds actually usable without loans didn't exceed 1 million!

Originally, the purpose of joining this show was just to give the studio and Ye Qing some publicity, to increase exposure.

"Who would've thought there'd be such a great thing?!"

Jiang Cheng casually clicked a video and saw that the media video announcing this news had actually garnered 450,000 likes!

What does rounding those likes to the nearest ten thousand mean? Behind it, the playback count is at least 4–5 million, which Jiang Cheng calculated based on their company account's video postings.

Moreover, it's possible the playback could reach 100 million!

"Has the show gotten this good?"

Jiang Cheng was also somewhat surprised by this situation, but he developed an unprecedented interest in the show's champion.

If he could win the championship, not only would exposure be maximized, but he'd also gain 2 million in funding—two birds with one stone.

"I came here to search for how to cook rice!"

Jiang Cheng remembered his purpose, so he exited the video and clicked search again.

Soon the search results popped up.

【Cooking rice is simple, only three steps: Step 1, wash the rice clean.】

After seeing the beginning, Jiang Cheng realized he seemed to have searched incorrectly.

How did he actually end up searching for cooking rice? What he's cooking is Yujie!

So he searched again.

He opened the video:

【Want to know how to take the final step with your girlfriend?】

【Breaking through that layer of window paper, what kind of opportunity is needed?】

【Are you still envying others' kissing, hugging, and lifting high?】

【One sentence, let your girlfriend towards you.】

Various titles dazzled Jiang Cheng; he hurriedly picked the video highlights, watched them all, and finally drew a conclusion.

To take that final step, you need a suitable opportunity!

For example, first move her, move her to the point of losing her ability to think!

Or make her feel romantic, make her forget real life, leaving only romantic images in her mind!

There's also a more direct one: just say you're strong enough; three years only need three years, three years unwilling—how can you claim to love her? Jiang Cheng naturally ignored this remark.

Mainly the earlier content, Jiang Cheng felt it made sense, so he began to think: what kind of opportunity is needed exactly?

But before he could figure it out, Su Manyao had already finished her grooming and come out.

At this moment, Su Manyao had changed into a light, white dress whose hem just passed her knees, printed with small floral patterns; her hair was pulled up and tied into a high bun.

She also had light, side-swept bangs that made her already petite face look even more delicate and graceful.

Below the hem showed her snow-white calves; she wore a new pair of white high-heeled shoes with white straps, the straps wrapped around her ankles and tied in a knot.

Just that the two knots seemed a bit different and a little loose.

"How's that?" Su Manyao saw Jiang Cheng sitting on the sofa sizing her up, lowered her head to glance at her outfit, and asked.

While saying that, she stomped her foot, then checked again whether the shoe straps would come off.

Jiang Cheng stood up, walked over, squatted in front of Su Manyao, reached out to undo her shoe straps, saying, "You're this old and still can't tie your shoes."

The last time he let Yujie wear sneakers, Jiang Cheng already knew she couldn't tie her shoes.

Jiang Cheng felt that Su Manyao wore high heels every day and rarely other shoes, which might be related to her inability to tie shoelaces.

!

But some high heels, like the ones Su Manyao is wearing now, also need to be tied, which makes Yujie quite embarrassed.

Seeing Jiang Cheng squat down, he tied her shoe straps again for her.

Su Manyao bit her lip, showing an embarrassed expression, feeling a bit humiliated, but since there were no outsiders at home, she rolled her eyes away, yet secretly glanced at Jiang Cheng's head.

"I really want to touch it."

But by then Jiang Cheng had already tied the straps and stood up, saying, "All done."

"Thank you." Su Manyao said, her eyes looking elsewhere.

The two left home; Su Manyao didn't bring a bag and directly took the elevator down.

The Ecological Park is just outside the residential community, across the street.

This is a city park with a large area, but its main gate is not here.

The Ecological Park also has no walls around it, making it fully open.

After crossing the road, the two saw several entrances to the Ecological Park.

At each intersection there were some stalls, with lights hung up on the stalls themselves.

Most were children's toys, plus snacks like pastries and desserts.

There were many couples strolling here, as well as families with children.

As soon as the two appeared outside the Ecological Park, they attracted the attention of those around.

Although people often call strangers handsome or beautiful in daily life, ordinary people's appearances don't differ much; it's mainly clothing and styling that make some seem pretty.

When Su Manyao appeared, however, she was exemplifying what a true beauty is—this was no longer just a casual compliment.

She wore a white dress, stood a little over 1.7 meters tall, had on high heels, her figure was slim and graceful, her skin was snow‑white, and in the night sky the whiteness seemed to glow.

Her aura was fresh and unworldly, creating a clear class distinction from the people around her!

Moreover, having Jiang Cheng beside her added to the effect.

This is what a real beauty is!

Jiang Cheng also felt stunned, even though he now lives with Yujie every day.

"I really need to cook it through quickly, otherwise the night will bring dreams and the sister I had in my mouth will fly away, leaving me nowhere to cry."
