Chapter 37 Take the initiative
As the moonlight spread over the gravel road, the sound of mahjong in Room 6 woke up the nightingale under the locust tree.

Jiang Qing held a small chicken between his fingers, the joints of which glowed jade-like in the warm light.

His action of pushing the cards over startled Li Xueqin, who screamed and pointed at the chicken on the table with a trembling voice.

"He's on a roll! Jiang Qing, you call this a novice?"

"Then let's be fools!"

When Meng Ziyi pushed the door open, he saw Lamu Yangzi wailing while holding the chip box.

Her carefully applied lipstick trembled when she saw the mountain of spoils in Jiang Qing's hand, and she realized a possibility.

"What's going on here? Newbie protection period?"

"Also, why is Jiang Qing on stage?"

Meng Ziyi was surprised and amused when he saw the miserable expressions of Li Xueqin and the others.

"After Dr. Jiang lost the first game..."

Guo Qilin sorted the cards with a wry smile, deeply regretting having persuaded Jiang Qing to come to the table with the two of them.

"We were never allowed to touch the southeast wind again."

Jiang Qing pushed the last red card into the card pool, and the light reflected from the electronic bracelet screen passed over Meng Ziyi's fair and delicate collarbone.

“A game of chance.”

When he stood up, he dropped the strawberry hair tie that Zhou Ye had forgotten on the sofa. He had just casually placed it next to him, and when he bent down to pick it up, his movements were much gentler than when he was playing cards.

Li Xueqin suddenly pulled Meng Ziyi over, looking anxious.

"Sister Meng, come take over! If I keep losing, my Dao heart will be shaken!"

She winked and pressed the man into the seat that Jiang Qing had just vacated, with his body temperature still remaining on the seat.

"Jiang Qing, aren't you coming?"

Meng Ziyi looked at Jiang Qing and asked with a smile.

"You can play around, I was originally a conscripted man."

Jiang Qing shook his head slightly and raised his hand to gesture.

"So are the chips settled now?"

Meng Ziyi looked at the mountain of chips in front of him, his eyebrows raised slightly.

The amount they bet was not large, but the sense of accomplishment was huge.

"You can just use mine, it's fine."

"I'll wait for you to go back together, you guys can have fun."

Jiang Qing waved his hand indifferently and picked up the "Biography of Gödel" again.

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely protect it for you!"

Thinking that he was using Jiang Qing as a bargaining chip, Meng Ziyi was inexplicably happy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Moreover, he took the initiative to wait for me to come back, even though I guessed that the main reason was probably the book in his hand and his gentlemanly demeanor as a boy.

Even so, she still smiled brightly.

Like a splash-ink peony shattering a glass cup, her dark pupils were filled with millions of popping candy-like fragments of light.

"Ah."

Jiang Qing responded softly and turned his head as if nothing had happened.

He wondered if this girl knew that her smile was very charming.

At that moment, he seemed to see the four words "bright and dazzling" materialize.

When the card game resumed, Jiang Qing leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and read a book.

Moonlight streamed through his fingertips as he turned the pages, casting a shadow on the chapter on "Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem."

Every time Meng Ziyi touched a card, she would deliberately lean back and sweep her soft long hair across the drooping pages of his book.

Jiang Qing was immersed in reading for a long time before he realized that the fragrance of her hair was lingering in his breath.

A passionate and intense scent of red roses.

A little after eleven o'clock, Jiang Qing closed the book and tapped the edge of the table.

"It's time to go back."

When he picked up his coat, Meng Ziyi had already stood up quickly and handed the task of counting the chips to Guo Qilin and others.

"Okay."

She responded crisply, the ending tone sounding delicate.

Jiang Qing glanced at her, said hello to Li Xueqin and the others, and walked away first.

Meng Ziyi turned around and waved to them, then quickly turned around and followed his steps closely.

"Tsk...what a sin!" Li Xueqin smacked her lips and sighed as she looked at the backs of the two men.

"I still can't help it!"

Guo Qilin sighed as he cleaned the table.

"Dr. Jiang is good in every way, but the key is that he's not from our circle, so I think it's hard for him to see it."

Lamu Yangzi shook his head, his face full of regret.

Li Xueqin and Guo Qilin looked at each other, then looked away tacitly.

-

The night wind carried the fragrance of locust flowers across the gravel road. When Meng Ziyi "stumbled" and fell towards Jiang Qing's shoulder for the third time, he suddenly stopped.

"Sister Meng, you played cards, not drank."

He lowered his eyes to look at the charming face in front of him and joked with a smile.

"How did Dr. Jiang know I didn't drink?"

Meng Ziyi looked at his profile under the street light, her red lips curled and her eyes sparkling.

She could see that Jiang Qing's attitude towards her and Xiao Ye was completely different.

"My nose is fine."

The smile on Jiang Qing's face remained unchanged, and he spoke in a leisurely tone.

"Then I can't just slip~"

Meng Ziyi pouted and deliberately clamped her voice, making it sound soft and sticky.

Jiang Qing lowered his eyes to glance at the flat shoes she had changed into under her long skirt, then slowly moved his eyes up to meet hers.

"The idea that you can wear 20cm stilettos and walk smoothly in any situation is not credible."

His playful look made Meng Ziyi's smile freeze slightly, and his eyes began to dodge subconsciously.

How could this person be so unromantic!

"Xiao Ye is indeed lovable..."

After a moment of silence, she suddenly leaned forward, and the scent of roses wafted into the night breeze.

"Just a little childish."

"I'm different, I..."

Jiang Qing suddenly turned around and walked away, his tall figure cutting through the moonlight.

"Compressed space can amplify one's senses infinitely, and sometimes the brain can deceive you."

"It's very late, go back and rest."

When he finished speaking, he had already walked a long distance away.

After looking at his back for a while, Meng Ziyi finally came to his senses and stomped his feet in anger.

This isn't her first time in love, so how could she not be able to differentiate between love and impulse?
Do you need to tell me?

Pooh!
Are you running so fast because you are afraid of facing my charm and losing control of yourself?

hum!

Must be!
After some self-analysis, Meng Ziyi's eyes lit up and he thought confidently.

The sound of the password lock opening woke up the entrance sensor light.

The curtains on the second floor swayed gently, and Zhou Ye's confused mumblings in his sleep drifted gently down along the air conditioner outdoor unit.

Jiang Qing thought of Meng Ziyi's actions just now, rubbed his brows and walked up the stairs.

Could it be that I have been too busy with my career over the years and have cut off too much contact with the opposite sex, so I have recently experienced a big explosion?
But as he just said, when the program is recorded, everyone will be gathered under the same roof and all senses will be magnified. This situation can easily lead to misjudgment.

In his opinion, only by leaving the show and calming down for a while can he judge his true feelings.

Now, it's too early.

When Meng Ziyi returned to the room, Zhou Ye was sleeping soundly and didn't notice anything.

She pulled off her false eyelashes in front of the dressing mirror and suddenly remembered the scene in the afternoon when Jiang Qing leaned over to teach Zhou Ye how to operate a drone.

The posture was not much different from a hug, but tonight he refused to let her touch even the corner of his clothes.

Humph! What a double standard!
But the more this happened, the more dissatisfied she became!

The recording of the program is just the beginning, not the end.

Meng Ziyi looked at herself in the mirror, her red lips curled up, and two little flickering flames appeared in her eyes.

That is full of desire to conquer!
