Chapter 43 The Greedy Fish, and the Surprise Inspection by Mom
Jiang Youyu hid under the covers and cried very quietly.
Ever since she heard those words from the boy, a sense of dread had been rising in her heart.
She knew it was probably a joke, just like how he often said things that made people blush without thinking.
But what if?
What if he's deliberately using this tone to mask his true thoughts?
Could it be...
Does he really like himself?
Jiang Youyu didn't know.
She didn't want to think about the problem.
She wanted to hide, to hide underwater where the water froze in winter.
The more she tried to escape, the more suffocated she felt in her chest, as if there was an insurmountable mountain blocking her way.
Jiang Youyu hoped it was true, yet stubbornly refused to believe it was.
In fairy tales, princes fall in love with beautiful Cinderella, but the princes don't have Cinderella's beauty, nor do they receive help from kind fairies.
She couldn't even attend the ball because she couldn't dance.
She needs someone to accompany her even when she goes out.
No one wants to carry around a burden every day.
Jiang Youyu didn't want to be a burden to others.
Her mother said she has always been an extremely strong-willed girl since she was a child.
You need to be faster than others in running, better than others in studying, and better than others in drawing.
So while her peers were out shopping and watching TV dramas, she always stayed at home reading and writing, because she didn't want to be worse than anyone else.
But now, even going downstairs is a problem.
Even if Gu Zhibei really liked her, it was just the restlessness that boys experience at this stage of life.
After all, he often used massages as an excuse to...
Jiang Youyu knew she was considered "pretty," and she used to be proud of it, but now she would rather be an ugly duckling.
A beautiful doll that he can manipulate at will—no boy could resist such temptation.
Jiang Youyu regretted it.
That's right.
She shouldn't have let Gu Zhibei touch her like that.
Perhaps Gu Zhibei had some feelings for her, but it was probably more lust for her body, just as she lusted after him...
Hmm, I guess I'm a bad woman too...
Jiang Youyu buried her face even deeper.
Blame him.
Why does he have to be so handsome? Why is he so good to her? Why does he always deliberately seduce her? Why does he have to make her become so strange...?
The girl's thoughts were scattered and chaotic.
What if, when the aunt comes back, she discovers that her son is obsessed with her best friend's daughter's body...
no…
No, no, no!
We have to think of a solution!
Why not just confront Gu Zhibei directly and use her status as his senior to warn him not to lust after her body anymore?
He's a shameless person.
If they really did that, Gu Zhibei would definitely refuse to leave, no matter what.
She might even end up losing herself...
Or should I tell my aunt to discipline her bad child and stop her from touching her best friend's daughter inappropriately?
However, Jiang Youyu didn't want him to touch her...
Of course, she didn't care.
She just didn't want Gu Zhibei to feel too uncomfortable. She had heard that it was bad for a boy's health to hold it in for too long, so it was normal for her, as a friend, to help him relieve it.
Hmph, it's all this guy's fault.
If he behaves well and never goes west when asked to go east, it's not unreasonable to reward him.
She was left wondering what to do with him.
Jiang Youyu wiped away her tears while secretly fuming.
That wretched Gu Zhibei! If only I could just let her touch me and not have to take responsibility.
What should we do now...?
She's really worried sick.
The girl peeked her face out from under the covers, taking small breaths.
It's still too stuffy under the covers.
She tugged at her wet bra, the taut straps hitting her shoulder with a soft snap.
Jiang Youyu pursed her lips, looking somewhat unhappy.
Starting with their grandfather's generation, no one in their family has ever been tall.
Dad is like that, and so is Mom.
She, too, could not escape the curse of being short.
Actually, being short is one thing.
It doesn't matter if a girl is a little short.
But she's already in college, yet she's still wearing a tank top like an elementary school student...
If we become boyfriend and girlfriend, we'll definitely do those awful things.
Jiang Youyu didn't want to do anything so awful, and besides, she was too young to satisfy him...
There's another reason to reject him.
The girl lay on the bed for a while, recovering.
Then he pulled his clothes out from under the covers.
Jiang Youyu felt a little guilty.
There are some water stains on it.
I accidentally got some of her tears on my face.
"Anyway, he doesn't know either," the girl muttered.
Gu Zhibei's clothes are very useful.
Jiang Youyu has been using it for several days now.
Every night, when she held him in her arms, she could smell his scent, as if she were holding her favorite boy.
She was just about to use it.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
Jiang Youyu picked it up and took a look.
It's Aunt Shen.
His mother.
The girl's face stiffened.
I instinctively hid my clothes under the covers.
She answered the phone.
The woman's loud, carefree voice suddenly rang out in the room:
"Little Fish, are you sleeping with my Little Bei?"
"...!!" Jiang Youyu almost dropped her phone.
The girl was mortified, her voice becoming shrill: "Auntie, don't talk nonsense!"
"Still haven't succeeded? Little Fish, keep trying!"
The woman's tone was one of deep disappointment.
Jiang Youyu's heart began to pound.
Aunt Shen…
What exactly does it mean?
The woman continued:
"That brat is always putting on airs, acting like he's the only smart person in the world. I've been fed up with him for a long time."
"Aunt…"
"Don't rush to talk to him. You've been through a lot of trouble with him, haven't you?" the woman said.
Jiang Youyu's lips moved slightly, and her cheeks flushed.
Although what the aunt said is correct, why does it sound so strange...?
"Little Fish, men have one face during the day and another at night."
Shen Qiuyu attempted to impart some wondrous knowledge.
"Once you sleep with him, he'll go from a wolf that likes to hiss to a husky that only wags its tail."
"…Aunt!"
The girl's voice was trembling.
"I'm going to go to bed!"
"Hmm? It's not even midnight yet."
Despite being an older woman, Shen Qiuyu made no attempt to hide her coquettish voice.
"Little Fish, can't you keep Auntie company?"
"I'm really sleepy..."
Jiang Youyu couldn't do anything about her.
This mother and son were practically her nemesis.
I really don't know how my mother, such a gentle person, could become best friends with her...
"You're sleepy, so you're not asleep yet, right?"
"I...I'll fall asleep right away."
"Oh, our little fish is so cute! If I were a boy, I would definitely win you over."
Shen Qiuyu exudes the overwhelming advantage of a mature woman.
A sly smile played on her lips:
"Auntie would like to sleep with Xiaoyuer tonight, is that alright?"
The girl was somewhat puzzled.
Until the sound of a key unlocking the door came from the living room...
