The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 176 Excitement
Zhong Yun had just closed the door when Meng Jiaen, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes with a look of loss in her eyes. Could it be that she had no attraction to him at all?

Is it because it’s not big enough?
She folded her hands across her chest, looking somewhat sad.

When they first met, she admired Zhong Yun's ability to remain unmoved by beauty, and it was because of this wonderful quality that she decided to become friends with him.

But now, she hated him so much. Why did he have to be so determined?
Why is he unmoved even though I have taken such initiative?
She confessed it herself.

The more Meng Jiaen thought about it, the sadder she became. She couldn't sleep at all. She kicked the quilt away, got up from the bed, went outside, got a can of beer, and continued drinking.

At this time, roommate Wang Ying's door opened. She poked her head out and saw Meng Jiaen sitting alone on the sofa drinking. She asked, "Is your boyfriend gone?"

This question broke the already EMO Meng Jiaen's defense, and she burst into tears.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Wang Ying hurried over to comfort him, "Did you quarrel again?"

"He put me on the bed and left..." Meng Jiaen said, crying sadly.

Wang Ying understood immediately.

Meng Jiaen has been in a relationship for such a long time, but she has never spent a night outside. (Meng Jiaen asked for leave twice before, but she didn't tell her that she was with Zhong Yun).

This in itself is not normal. The pace of society is so fast now. As long as the feelings are in place, things that should happen will happen naturally.

Two months is not a short time.

If what should happen doesn't happen, it's either because the relationship is not there or there are other problems.

However, Wang Ying certainly couldn't say that to her, "Honey, maybe he has some concerns? Maybe he feels embarrassed because I'm at home. This is my fault, I should have left just now..."

"It's also possible that he is conservative and feels the time is not right?"

"In short, let's not panic until we figure out the reason."

After she comforted him, Meng Jiaen finally stopped crying and whispered, "Could it be that he is not interested in me?"

Wang Ying asked her, "When you kiss, is he aggressive? For example, that kind of..."

Meng Jiaen's voice became even quieter, "We haven't kissed yet..."

"..."

Wang Ying almost couldn’t hold back the expression on her face.

No, we've been dating for two months and we haven't even kissed. Are you guys playing house here?

My goodness, is this a platonic spiritual love?

Anyway, she couldn't understand why a man could date a woman for two months without even kissing her. What was he trying to achieve?
She couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you are really in love?"

At this point, Meng Jiaen no longer hid the truth from her, "We were not originally a couple, I just asked him to pretend to be my boyfriend. Until recently, I found that I seemed to have really fallen in love with him..."

what?
Wang Ying was confused at first, then she suddenly realized.

After all this time, I found out this is what is going on.

All at once, everything made sense.

So, it was only after she introduced Zhong Yun to Tao Xingyao that she realized that she had already fallen in love with this man, and she snatched the man back from Tao Xingyao.

Wang Ying originally thought it was strange. Meng Jiaen wasn't the kind of bitch. How could she do such a vulgar thing?

So, I have been kept in the dark this whole time.

At this time, Meng Jiaen said apologetically, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just don't know how to explain it to you."

Wang Ying could only force a smile and said, "It's okay, I understand. If you have to pretend, then of course you have to pretend to be more convincing."

"If this is the kind of relationship you have, then it's not surprising. He probably can't adapt to your change for a while. You were originally friends, and your relationship suddenly changed, so it's normal for him to back off."

Meng Jiaen looked at her, a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "Really?"

"Of course. For example, if I have a male best friend who suddenly says he likes me, I will be scared." Wang Ying said, "You have to give him some time. Don't be impatient and don't want to have sex right away. Take it step by step..."

Wang Ying began to tell her how to warm up the relationship with a man step by step.

……

When Zhong Yun returned home, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Because he was drunk, he did not drive but took a taxi back. He left the car in the garage of Meng Jiaen's community and will pick it up tomorrow.

When he opened the door, he moved very quietly. The lights were still on in the living room, but no one was there.

It must have been left for him by his mother.

Just now in the car, he had replied to both his mother and Ruan Xi, asking them to go to sleep first.

Zhong Yun closed the door, changed his shoes, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp. Just as he put the cup down, he heard the sound of the door opening. He turned around and saw Ruan Xi, wearing striped pajamas, walking out of the room.

He asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Ruan Xi came over and seemed to smell the alcohol on him. Her face changed slightly. "You, have you been drinking?"

He said, "Don't worry, I didn't drive, I took a taxi back." Her father died in a car accident, hit by a drunk driver, so her reaction was so big.

She stepped forward, took his hand, and rested her forehead on his shoulder.

"what happened?"

Zhong Yun felt that her mood was a little off. Usually, she was quite reserved. But today she was a little abnormal.

He asked quietly, "Did my mother say anything to you?"

Ruan Xi shook her head and still said nothing.

Since she didn't want to talk, Zhong Yun didn't ask any more questions and just held her hand tightly.

Several minutes passed.

He raised his hand, stroked her back, and whispered, "Okay, it's late, go to bed."

Ruan Xi still didn't move, and suddenly spoke, "If, one day, you have a girlfriend, will you ignore me?"

It seems that my mother told her after all.

Ruan Xi suddenly let go of his hand, took a step back, put her hands behind her back, looked up at him, bit her lip and said, "After you get a girlfriend, I will keep a good distance and try not to make your girlfriend angry. As long as...as long as you don't ignore me..."

Zhong Yun sighed in his heart and said softly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I ignore you? No matter what happens, you will always be mine--"

He didn’t mention the “Snail Girl” at the end.

Ruan Xi finally smiled with relief, "Then I'll go back to sleep. You should go to bed early too."

After saying that, she turned and returned to the room.

Zhong Yun looked at her back and felt that she seemed to have made up her mind. After the door closed, he poured another glass of water and drank it all in one breath.

If you want to have it all, it's a long and arduous journey.

A raging fire ignited in his heart. This was really challenging.

To be honest, after getting the system, as the bonuses he received every day increased, he felt that he could almost foresee the end of his life.

Soon, he had more money than he could spend. The only thing he needed to think about was how to properly own this wealth. And, with so much money, how should he spend it?
He could imagine how boring such a life was, without even a goal to strive for.

Tonight, after he came up with this idea, he found the long-lost passion.

It is this uncertainty that is stimulating enough.

……

The next morning, Zhong Yun woke up and washed up. There was no sound in Ruan Xi's room.

Ruan Xi didn't come out when he was warming up.

Her door remained closed until he left.

It seemed that she really intended to keep her distance from him.

This thought flashed through Zhong Yun's mind, and he started his morning jog.

More than an hour later.

After his morning run, he returned home and saw the thermos on the coffee table. Ruan Xi's door was still closed.

Mom is busy in the kitchen.

He walked to the coffee table, unscrewed the lid of the thermos, and took a sip. The water was just the right temperature, with the same recipe and the same taste.

Zhong Yun began to understand a little bit what she meant by keeping a distance last night.

At this time, Zhang Yuzhen came out with the dishes and said, "It's time to eat. Where's Xixi? Hasn't she gotten up yet?"

"I'll call her."

He put down the kettle, went over and knocked on the door twice, then pushed it open and saw her sitting at the desk with headphones on.

He walked over, pulled out one of her earbuds, and said, "It's time to eat."

Ruan Xi saw him, lowered her head, and whispered, "I'm not hungry, I'll read for a while."

"You have to eat even if you are not hungry. If you skip breakfast, be careful not to get gallstones like me. Let's go." Zhong Yun went to pull her hand.

She subconsciously pulled her hand away and said in a panic, "I can walk by myself."

Zhong Yun couldn't help laughing.

He thought she was particularly cute the way she was now.

PS: I have already thought of the outline of this book. As for the performance, I don't care anymore. After it was put on the shelves, I haven't checked the backstage. I don't even know how many subscriptions it has now. I have only one goal, to finish the book smoothly, with at least one million words. I will strive for one and a half million, and it would be best if I can write two million. Please vote for me.

By the way, I am planning to change the title of the book. Do you have any good ideas? Please leave a comment.
