As Ling Kong Leng assisted Jiang Xun put on her clothes, Jiang Xun's face turned as red as a ripe apple. She struggled to push away Ling Kong Leng, and her eyes were red again.

Ling Kong Leng furrowed his brows. He never liked to force anyone. If it were someone else, he would have just let her go indifferently. However, towards her, he felt some sort of apologetic sentiment, so his temper was kept in check.

"Excuse me, can I borrow your bathroom?" Jiang Xun asked.

"Go ahead." She was the first woman to be so polite and distanced to him after having sex with him.

Ling Kong Leng had yet met a woman who didn't feel anything for him. Even if they weren't themselves at him, they would look at him somewhat differently and display her strengths in front of him. However, Jiang Xun didn't do that. Ever since she woke up, she has never looked at him directly.

Was it because she had someone in her heart? Well, last night, she did seem to have treated him as her boyfriend.

Ling Kong Leng's face sank. But when his eyes fell on the sheets, his mood improved again. No matter what, she gave her first time to him.

He walked into the wardrobe next to them and found himself a new suit to put on. When he came out, Jiang Xun had already freshened up herself.

Jiang Xun stood at the door of the bedroom, afraid to look into his eyes. "Did you see my purse? I want to find my phone."

Ling Kong Leng thought for a while, "It's in my car."

"Please take me to get it."

Ling Kong Leng said coldly, "Come with me."

Jiang Xun had a difficult time following up. Her legs were so sore that she secretly regretted that she shouldn't have coveted that bit of luck last night. She strained Ling Kong Leng too hard, now she's reaping the fruits of her results.

After Jiang Xun got her phone, there were dozens of missed calls, dozens of WeChat and text messages from the chauffeur, Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, Duan Qing Chu and Ling Chen. They all made several calls, and WeChat asking her where she was, if she was okay, said they were worried about her.

Jiang Xun called Mother Jiang to report her safety, and then replied a voice message to Duan Qing Chu and Ling Chen, telling them that she was okay.

"Reporting your safety to your boyfriend?" Ling Kong Leng questioned nonchalantly.

Jiang Xun didn't answer him, but said, "I'm leaving."

"Do you need a ride?" Ling Kong Leng glanced at her pale face. Somehow he didn't want her to leave like this.

"No thanks, I'll just take a taxi myself."

"You can't get a taxi here."

"Where is here?"

"The villa area in Xi Shan is full of private cars. Besides, there are only a few people." Ling Kong Leng Leng suddenly felt he was a chatterbox.

As soon as Jiang Xun was about to talk, the phone in her purse vibrated. She excused herself and then took out her phone. It was a call from a school classmate.

A classmate who had a good relationship with the original owner noticed that she hadn't been to class since this morning and called to remind her there was a class she could not miss in the afternoon.

From the conversation between Jiang Xun and her classmate, Ling Kong Leng could pick out some information. First of all, she was a student, her school was local, and her family should be local as well.

Jiang Xun said a few words before hanging up. She hesitated and said awkwardly, "Then can I trouble you to send me to a place where I can get a taxi."

"Where do you want to go?" Ling Kong Leng was annoyed by her politeness.

"The nearest mall." Jiang Xun could get a change of outfits. She couldn't really wear this forever. Although she didn't wear it for more than a few hours, she could still smell the alcohol on herself, making her feel uncomfortable.

"I'll have the chauffeur drop you off."

When Ling Kong Leng finished speaking coldly, he didn't see the disappointment he anticipated from Jiang Xun's face. Instead, he saw she was happy and relieved because he wasn't driving her.

Ling Kong Leng narrowed his eyes and watched her closely. His complexion turned ugly while he called the chauffeur and coldly said to her, "You wait here, the chauffeur will arrive soon."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Jiang Xun stood there and stared at his back with the corners of her lips raised.

The system announced: "The affection level has reached sixty and it was less than thirty last night. You're really the most powerful tasker I have ever seen."

Jiang Xun smiled lightly, "Naturally. My ability is far beyond this."

...

After Jiang Xun changed clothes, she returned home. Ling Chen made multiple calls, but Jiang Xun didn't answer any of them. She took a nap to recover some of her physical strength. Although her body was delicate, at least it was recovering quickly. By the time she headed to school in the afternoon, her walking posture wasn't quite as weird anymore.

Based on the class schedule, Jiang Xun found her classroom. The teacher of this class was rather abnormal and made sure to take attendance every day. If the students don't arrive, any mistakes on their final exam would be deducted more severely. Therefore, those who were afraid would come to class right on time. When Jiang Xun arrived, most of the seats were filled and only a few seats were left open in the front row.

She walked over and sat down. Everyone was watching her along the way. Since her core was changed, her dressing style also changed. In addition, since her body and soul was nourished last night, she was more beautiful than before. This kind of beauty wasn't reflected in her appearance, but her temperament has significantly improved. The passion and feminine beauty of her eyebrows was completely different from the past. If her previous beauty was rated ninety points, now her beauty value can reach 180.

Originally, she was already the campus belle. So there were many people paying attention no matter where she went. However, the classmates who had attended this class had all seen her, so they weren't as amazed as they were when they first saw her. But now, everyone couldn't take their eyes off her, even some of the girls couldn't help but glancing at her.

"Don't you think Jiang Xun looks different from before?"

"She became a lot more beautiful, plus the way she dresses. It didn't seem to be this style before."

"I agree. I feel like I, a woman, is about to bend when I look at her. She really is beautiful."

"Look at the eyes of those stinky men in our class looking at her, they can't take their eyes off her."

"Hasn't she been with Ling Chen since a long time ago? It's useless even if they stare at her, they can't even compare to a single finger of Ling Chen's."

"In my opinion, in terms of looks, at our school, only Ling Chen can be worthy of her. Oh, yes, and Duan Qing Chu, but he doesn't come to school very often. It's difficult to catch sight of him."

"Wait, wait, wait! Look over there!"

"Why... Isn't that Duan Qing Chu? Wasn't he from the film department? Why is he at our German class... He probably entered the wrong classroom!"

...

Jiang Xun's phone rang. When she saw it was Duan Qing Chu, she smiled. Seeing that class would end in five minutes, she decided to pick it up.

"Something wrong?"

"No, I just passed by and saw you." Duan Qing Chu's clean voice was as pleasant as ever.

Jiang Xun turned her head and glanced outside the classroom to see him standing outside the classroom, looking sideways at her. He was wearing a casual white printed shirt and slim jeans, still that handsome and exuding a cold aura. An appearance that kept people away, but his tone when speaking to her wasn't as cold.

"You rarely come to school." Jiang Xun said with a smile.

"What's wrong with your voice?" Duan Qing Chu heard something off about her voice.

"I have a cold." Jiang Xun didn't change her expression and even coughed twice.

"Then you need to take medicine."

"En, but I don't like eating medicine." Jiang Xun frowned.

Duan Qing Chu was silent for a second, "How many classes do you have this afternoon?"

"Just the two classes back-to-back." Jiang Xun replied, "What's the matter?"

"After you finish class, I'll go buy medicine with you."

Jiang Xun was startled, "It seems that I'll have to eat it then."

Duan Qing Chu didn't speak.

Jiang Xun hesitated for a while before saying, "Are you going to wait for me outside?"

That was Duan Qing Chu's initial plan, but now he changed his mind, "No, I'll come in."

Before he finished, he walked in through the front door of the classroom.

Following that, Duan Qing Xiao ended the call as he kept his eyes on Jiang Xun. The entire distance from the door of the classroom to the seat next to her, the two's eyes were always locked.

Today Jiang Xun was more beautiful than yesterday's, which Duan Qing Chu obviously also noticed. When he watched Jiang Xun, he felt a sense of tension in his heart, making his whole person at a loss.

Approaching her, this feeling only got stronger.

Duan Qing Chu sat down beside her, but not too close. There was a half-meter distance between the two, which happened to be the most ambiguous distance.

It's like a couple who just started dating: a little ambiguous and unfamiliar yet wanting to get close while afraid of being seen by others.

His purpose was a bit too easy to guess, which completely contradicted with his apathetic appearance.

Jiang Xun likes a wide range of men. Duan Qing Chu's type just happened to be the one she was most attracted to.

...

Once class started, Jiang Xun paid serious attention to the lecture and took notes.

Duan Qing Chu was sitting a little far away from her, writing something on the paper with a pencil as well as looking up at her from time to time.

From Jiang Xun's peripheral vision, she could see his movements, but never spoke to him.

During the period, Duan Qing Chu lowered his head to answer a call, but hung up after several sentences.

Once he hung up the phone, he suddenly moved to Jiang Xun's side and leaned closer to her.

Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Xun turned her head toward him. With such a close proximation, it made Duan Qing Chu's heart beat faster. His eyes revealed the emotions hidden in his heart, and he forgot what he was going to say.
