Afterwards, he lay on the bedhead, extinguishing the cigarette in his hand. Jiang Yan put on a suspender and lay beside him.

  "Jiang Yan, stop messing with me, listen to me for once. I'll give you all the stars in the sky if that's what you want."

  He extinguished his cigarette and put his arm around Jiang Yan's shoulder, stroking the small scar on her shoulder with his fingers, which he had burned himself.

  After all these days, it's not as fierce as before, but still a bit intimidating when touched.

  She lay in his arms, her fingers ceaselessly drawing circles on his chest, one after another.

  After that day, I don't know if Ruan Jianglin considered it compensation or not, but he gave her an expensive watch.

  She went online and checked, it was just the price of a set of rooms.

  She wears it on her wrist and always feels a bit heavy. Other people's boyfriends are all giving flowers and bags.

  He gave her a famous watch, expensive and exquisite, but she wore it on her hand was inconvenient.

  Later she asked if he was so generous with every girlfriend, Ruan Jianglin just smiled and didn't say anything.

  Actually, Jiang Yan is not clever at all in some ways, for example, she doesn't know how to take advantage of Ruan Jianglin.

  At least in this regard, both Feng Xiao Xiao and Gu Qing are much smarter than her.

  On the eve of the day before school started after her winter break, Ruan Jiang gave her a fireworks show.

  This damned romanticism of the rich is irresistible to her, and no one can resist this temptation.

  Ruan Jianglin turned her head back, and there was a smile in the corner of her eyes, with less of her usual cold demeanor.

  She gazed at the sky filled with fireworks, her eyes full of vibrant colors, she hooked her red lips, somewhat captivating.

  He stood beside Jiangyan, with one hand in his pocket, exuding an air of elegance.

  "Good looking?"

  Her eyes were slightly dazed, and then she said: "Uh-huh."

  The dazzling fireworks and the blackness almost merged together, a wisp of smoke shone on the two people's bodies, even their eyes were shining brightly.

  "Little girls all like this."

  The firework sounds were too loud and she didn't quite catch what he said.

  The fireworks that day were beautiful, and even the usually stern winter wind became gentle.

  She was suddenly enchanted by a man's exceptionally handsome face.

  "Ruan Jianglin, I want to have a future with you."

  The fireworks stopped, and her voice was exceptionally clear.

  He had an unscrupulous look on his face, and his smile was also somewhat awkward. He raised the chin of Jiang Yan: "Jiang Yan, are you kidding me?"

  Her tone was somewhat firm, "If I had to."

  He laughed even more wildly, with a look of utter abandon on his face.

  Ruan Jiang's hands relaxed, his peach blossom eyes were exceptionally enchanting, yet frivolous and heartless.

  "Maybe we're just not very compatible."

  There are many people who want to have a future with him, which one should he rely on?

  Ruan Jianglin's words were straightforward, but they were within Jiang Yan's expectations. She smiled slightly and adjusted the scarf around her neck.

  That night when they returned, Jiang Yan played a small temper and said she wanted to pack her luggage.

  Ruan Jianglin said she was just a fake fox spirit, and her appearance didn't look like it at all.

  Ruan Jianglin didn't stop her either, watching as she threw her clothes into the suitcase one piece at a time.

  He leaned against the door frame, looking at her with a completely idle and spoiled second-generation rich kid look.

  Jiang Yan later gathered and was tired, so he didn't move. Ruan Jiang rushed forward just in time.

  She would put away her things and go back, she would start school tomorrow, even if she didn't make trouble with him, she would still have to return to Beicheng.

  "Don't pick up the old ones, buy all new ones."

  He generously bought her all new things.

  Jiang Yanguang walked towards him with her feet bare, skillfully unbuttoning his buttons.

  With one counter-attack, Ruan Jiang was knocked onto the bed.

  "Is it better for the blue to come from the green?" He smiled with a raised lip.

  Jiang Yan didn't say a word, stretched out her hand and pointed at him, setting his body ablaze everywhere, but he didn't move.

  Until Ruan Jiang flipped her over and pinned her beneath him, she pushed him away gently.

  Leaning close to his ear, she whispered softly: "Ruan Jianglin, I'm not very convenient today."

  The man's face changed at once.

  Although she was intentionally teasing him, she still couldn't help but feel a little nervous, her fingers unconsciously clutching the hem of his clothes.

  He frowned and asked her, "Can this thing be coaxed back?"

  Jiang Yan was amused by him and laughed in his arms, rarely seeing him hold back his laughter.

  He reached out and pinched her waist hard, causing Jiangyan to let out a soft cry. She thought, it must be green.

  He always did it this way, neither light nor heavy.

  However, the more dissatisfied he was, the more excited Jiang Yan became, and her two slender legs still hooked him.

  Seeing her smug face, Ruan Jianglin suddenly remembered something and reached out to brush away her disheveled hair.

  His big palm stuck to her back, densely and numbingly itchy.

  "Baby, should I say you're really innocent or really foolish?" His low voice was like that of an ancient sorcerer, capable of bewitching people's hearts.

  Jiang Yan didn't understand what he was saying, after all, he was an old hand with many tricks up his sleeve.

  Her eyes sparkled slightly, extremely close to the man. He always had a hint of tobacco on him, but it was very faint unless he occasionally smoked heavily, then it would be very strong.

  His fingers swept across her cheek and lingered on her red lips, the implication unmistakable.

  Her mind suddenly went blank, probably because she had understood the man's intentions. A look of unbelievable panic flashed across her delicate face.

  She struggled to get up and escaped from his hands, but was pulled back by him with a fierce throw, slamming her down hard, with an incredulous face.

  She never thought of it this way, and didn't even dare to think about it.

  Ruan Jiang's face, which was usually playful and irreverent, was filled with a smile: "Clever."

  He praised her for being clever and quick-witted.

  Ke Jiangyan thought she was like a fool, still as pure as white paper, thinking that she had really fooled him.

  *

  Jiang Yan returned to school, and the second semester of her sophomore year was very busy. A big part of the reason was that she didn't review the course materials ahead of time during winter break, so she had no idea how to do the practical exercises or write her thesis.

  Ruan Jianglin was also busy, but occasionally he would think of her.

  Recently, he even bought the house she lived in and exempted her from paying rent, water and electricity bills.

  She made another fortune from Ruan Jianglin.

  But she was quite curious whether Ruan Jianglin would write the house in her name.

  She later asked him once, who knew he said: "You think it's pretty good."

  Ruan Jianglin had the key to her home and could come and go as she pleased.

  Sometimes when Jiangyan returned, she could see Ruanjiang Lin's house shrouded in a misty aura.

  As soon as she entered, it was smoke smell.

  Ruan Jiang has been very cautious lately, afraid of touching the tiger's whiskers.

  He can always be heard scolding people on the balcony, and he is merciless when confronting others. Jiang Yan could even sense how embarrassed his subordinates were.

  Actually, Jiangyan was wrong about one thing. If Ruan Jianglin is still willing to argue with someone, it means that person can still be saved.

  Otherwise, he wouldn't bother saying a word.

  My babies, I'm going to die from being stuck! My writing is so stuck, my brain is full of later plot developments and I really want to bring them forward to write, but I have to proceed in an orderly fashion!
