Jiang Sui pursed his lips and smiled.
The phrase "Even if it was, it's too late already oh." really didn't apply to him.
He watched the young women go out and get a towel, rubbing his head. Her movements were random but gentle.
Halfway through, Jiang Sui's phone suddenly rang.
Su Qing, tilting her head, saw the caller ID read "Hu Yifan," and a flicker of confusion crossed her eyes.
"Eh, didn't he just call me? Why was he calling you again?"
Jiang Sui listened to the girl's words, his half-lidded eyes gazing dangerously at Su Qing.
"When did he call you?"
His blatant jealousy was unconcealed. Su Qing was stunned for a moment before realizing Jiang Sui was jealous. She placed the towel on the table beside her and looked at him with interest.
"Are you jealous?"
Jiang Sui nodded, the unhappiness in his eyes evident. He rarely concealed his emotions in front of her.
Especially since the young man knew Su Qing had feelings for him, he didn't try to hide it at all, constantly wanting more affection and attention from her.
Su Qing knew he was a bit paranoid.
Seeing the boy's suppressed unhappiness, his eyes downcast, her desire to tease him faded.
Pinching Jiang Sui's nose, Su Qing leaned against the table beside her, looking at him.
"Ranran just called me, using Hu Yifan's phone."
With this explanation, Jiang Sui's frown relaxed a little.
"So, he could call me too, and he insisted on calling you."
Su Qing smiled, pursing her lips. She looked at Jiang Sui, "Hurry up and answer the phone. Is there something going on with them?"
Jiang Sui picked up his phone and tried to answer it, but it had already been disconnected. He looked at Su Qing...
"Hanged up."
The words were spoken with a hint of innocence, clearly unaware that this wouldn't have happened if he hadn't been feeling jealous.
"Then call him back."
Before Su Qing finished her words, her phone rang. Jiang Sui squinted. This time, it wasn't Hu Yifan's call, but Liu Ranran.
Isn't the phone broken?
Su Qing didn't think much before answering the phone.
"Qing Qing, Hu Yifan called Jiang Sui, why didn't he answer?"
The moment Su Qing answered the phone, the boy's eager expression forced her to use the speakerphone, so Jiang Sui could hear everything Liu Ranran said clearly.
The boy remained expressionless.
"His phone isn't with him. What's the matter with calling him?"
Su Qing blinked at Jiang Sui, lying directly in front the boy. Jiang Sui stared at Su Qing, who looked at him with an extremely innocent look.
It seemed to be saying, "Your hand wasn't around at that time."
Jiang Sui simply stared at Su Qing, his thin lips clearly showing a hint of displeasure.
"It seems like nothing happened."
Liu Ranran's voice suddenly made Su Qing confused, remembering that the number she was calling belonged to her.
"Ranran, didn't you lose your phone?"
"Qing Qing, you're talking about that? Yes, I came to Jiangcheng, lost my phone, and then I remembered Hu Yifan's number..."
Su Qing was stunned by Liu Ranran's words.
Liu Ranran said she had come to Jiangcheng and lost her phone.
"Yes, Liu Ranran is such an idiot, she even lost her phone. Luckily, I'm in Jiangcheng, otherwise, who knows what you'd do."
Hu Yifan's voice, leaning in close to the phone, could faintly be heard smiling.
Su Qing hadn't recovered from her shock when she heard Liu Ranran on the other end.
"Qing Qing, I came to Jiangcheng to see you. I originally wanted Hu Yifan to call Jiang Sui as a surprise, but Jiang Sui's number wasn't working. I've already got a new card and a new phone. What's your address? I'll come find you."
Ranran's cheerful voice, seemingly unfazed, helped Su Qing regain her composure from her fearful state.
"Okay, can I send the address to you on WeChat?"
As Liu Ranran said "okay,okay." Hu Yifan seemed to snatch the girl's phone. "Ah Sui, great! I didn't even know where you lived, and now so easily told Liu Ranran. What's more important, a woman or a buddy?"
Su Qing naturally heard Hu Yifan mocking Jiang Sui.
However, Su Qing was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Hu Yifan to know Jiang Sui was with her.
While she was in shock,
Liu Ranran on the other end of the line seemed to be cursing the boy for Hu Yifan having snatched her phone.
Jiang Sui, on the other hand, leaned lazily on his rocking chair, staring at Su Qing.
"Of course women are more important. Besides, this isn't my home. I'm just staying at Qing Qing's house. Of course you both should report visit."
Jiang Sui spoke as if it was a matter of course. His words were meant to be a response to the person on the other end, but his eyes remained fixed on Su Qing.
Su Qing felt a little embarrassed by Jiang Sui's gaze and no longer heard what Hu Yifan and Liu Ranran were arguing on the other end.
She didn't even realize they had hung up.
When Liu Ranran mentioned being a guest, Su Qing instinctively wanted to check Jiang Sui's opinion, but that only lasted a moment before she made her own decision.
After she made the decision, like a hostess, Su Qing clearly saw the boy's eyes light up.
She seemed to gradually understand the boy's thoughts.
He liked everything he had to be hers, and he liked her treating this place like her own home, not a host-guest relationship.
Su Qing always felt a sense of guilt, but she also knew that this guilt was slowly fading. Because of the gap between them, she always felt that she had gained a lot of benefits because of the boy. To be honest, she was getting benefits from Jiang Sui that ordinary people couldn't afford.
Hearing Jiang Sui's words again, Su Qing pursed her lips and looked at him. The few words of gratitude on her lips faltered, and she was speechless for a moment.
Su Qing looked at Jiang Sui.
"Jiang Sui, how could you like me so much?"
He liked her so much that he had lost all principles. He liked her so much that Su Qing couldn't explain it. Anyway, whenever the boy looked at her, Su Qing felt a hollow space in her heart, then a throbbing, unpleasant, yet simultaneously pleasurable.
"Qing Qing, if knew why like, it wouldn't be love."
"But now I don't just like you; I like you and love you."
The boy's eyes were soft and luminous, and Su Qing's heart fluttered.
She had to hold on to her fingers tightly to keep steady.
