?Chapter 78: Chapter 76: Open an Account Chapter 78: Chapter 76: Open an Account Sheng Xian: “…”
Lu Jingyan saw that Sheng Xian didn’t react and blinked his eyes, “I sent you a WeChat message, did you see it.”
Sheng Xian pressed his phone screen off, “Hmm.”
Lu Jingyan saw him hum a sound and then had no other reaction, he leaned forward and asked in a low voice, “Do you understand what I mean?”
Sheng Xian probably understood, he nodded his head lightly.
Lu Jingyan didn’t quite believe him, struggled for a while, and asked, “Then you tell me, what do I mean?”
Sheng Xian: “…”
He wasn’t quite sure why she was so hung up on this.
How to put it, she had so many boyfriends before, and he had always been aware of it, just like when she first approached him, she also had a playful attitude.
To say he didn’t mind at all would be a lie, but compared to that little bit of discomfort in his heart, more often than not, he wished he could have gotten closer to her earlier.
Sheng Xian looked straight at Lu Jingyan, who seemed determined not to give up without an answer. He blinked slightly and said, “Before I answer this question, can I ask you one first?”
Lu Jingyan appeared quite generous, “Go ahead.”
Sheng Xian’s fingers subconsciously curled up a bit, “How many ex-boyfriends do you have?”
Lu Jingyan: “…”
Seeing the girl unable to come up with an answer, Sheng Xian added, “Can’t remember?”
Lu Jingyan, who was called out, opened her mouth and, annoyed, flopped down on the table, with her eyelids drooping listlessly like a frosted eggplant, admitting, “I can’t remember,” Lu Jingyan didn’t think much before she couldn’t help but explain, “But those ex-boyfriends of mine aren’t what you think.”
Those ex-boyfriends.
Those.
A group.
The description was quite fitting.
Sheng Xian was silent for a moment, “Then you tell me, how are those ex-boyfriends of yours not what I think?”
“It’s just, they were all jerks, the kind that deserve abuse and a beating, like that ex-number 31 I just talked about, whom I met at a nightclub. He hit on five girls at the same time, and didn’t want to take responsibility after flirting. Don’t you think he’s scummy? And then there’s ex-number 33, he had a girlfriend who adored him for many years. He lived off her without any contribution, and once he got a promotion and had prospects, he dumped her. Isn’t that despicable?” It had been quite a while since those days, and the mention of old times still got Lu Jingyan a bit angry, her voice rising with emotion, “Such men deserve to taste being dumped, to feel how it’s like to be cheated on emotionally. I had no feelings for them; to me, they were just objects of abuse, and my goal was simple, to make them cry.”
Lu Jingyan, who blurted out everything without much thought, glanced at Sheng Xian.
Meeting her gaze, Sheng Xian said, “Who is ex-number 31?”
Lu Jingyan, “That was the one who just sat beside you.”
Sheng Xian, “And who is ex-number 33?”
Lu Jingyan, “That would be the one who came over later.”
Sheng Xian, “So, while you were talking about ex-numbers 31 and 33, was there also an ex-number 32?”
Lu Jingyan blinked, realizing she had fallen into a trap.
Shit.
Professor Sheng is actually a scheming dog.
Sheng Xian, “Is that how you note all your ex-boyfriends?”
Lu Jingyan glared at Sheng Xian without speaking.
After a few seconds of silence, Sheng Xian asked, “What about me?”
“Ah?” Lu Jingyan thought he was asking how he was noted, and was about to say you’re different, you are Professor Sheng.
Before she could speak, Sheng Xian calmly interjected, “Also deserving of abuse and a beating?”
Lu Jingyan, “??”
Three seconds later, Lu Jingyan, who finally realized what he had said earlier: “…”
Sheng Xian looked at her, “You also want me to cry?”
Lu Jingyan, “……”
She did want him to cry back then.
She also saw him as a subject deserving of abuse and a beating.
But that was all in the beginning.
Lu Jingyan was racing to think of a remedy when she suddenly realized that the original topic wasn’t about these matters at all.
The topic had unnoticeably been diverted by Sheng Xian.
Lu Jingyan lifted her head, “Professor Sheng, not bad at all, quite skillful in changing the topic.”
Sheng Xian, “…”
“If you really can’t understand the meaning of my WeChat message, you can just tell me, I won’t laugh at you.”
Sheng Xian, “…”
This girl was much sharper than he had imagined.
Sheng Xian lowered his eyelashes, hiding the hint of a smile that was spreading in his eyes.
After a moment, he looked up, about to look at her, only to be startled by her who had stood up at some unknown time, both hands on the table, leaning her upper body across the table, and brought her face up close to his.
He was stunned, and before he could speak, she licked her lips while looking at him, “Brother, since you don’t understand the significance of my WeChat message, let me be direct.”
She tilted her head and slowly got close to his ear, accompanied by the faint scent from her body entering his nose, he felt the warm breath of her speaking brush by his ear, “I’ve never ‘opened shop’ before.”
“…”
Sheng Xian was confused for two seconds before he understood the meaning of her words.
His eyelids twitched heavily, and he froze as if he had been struck by an acupoint inhibitor.
Is this elementary school student aiming for the sky?
Sheng Xian’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, he fell silent, then turned to meet her eyes.
Lu Jingyan swallowed, took a breath, and tried to maintain her composure to meet his gaze. Her lips curled slightly, smiling like a soul-enticing little vixen, her voice soft and light, “Brother, if you’re willing, I could ‘open shop’ for you tonight.”
