You're dumping me, huh? Fine, then I'll just pick up the school beauty and make her my wif

After a whole night of running around, the two returned to their apartment after 9 p.m.

Upon entering the house, you are greeted by a warm and familiar atmosphere.

Although this apartment is not as luxurious and spacious as the Su family villa, it is cozy and inviting.

Every corner is filled with traces of their life together.

Jiang Che hung up Su Qinghe's down jacket, then squatted down and held her ankle to help her put on slippers.

"Are you tired? Are you hungry? Do you want me to get you some late-night snacks?"

As Jiang Che untied his scarf and walked into the house, he asked Su Qinghe.

Su Qinghe followed Jiang Che like a little shadow. Upon hearing this, she shook her head, "I'm not hungry, it's just..."

She sniffed her cuffs with some disgust. "I'm covered in dust and smell musty. I want to take a shower."

While rummaging through things in the old room, Su Qinghe bumped into the dusty piano, and now she was covered in dust and smelled of it, making her feel really uncomfortable.

Most importantly, she wanted to wash herself clean and smell nice.

Wash away all those bad memories.

Only Jiang Che's flavor remains.

"Okay, the water temperature is already set, and the shower gel and shampoo are in their usual places, within easy reach."

Jiang Che led Su Qinghe to the bathroom door, and still worried, he added, "Be careful when you take a shower, the floor is slippery, don't fall."

Su Qinghe nodded obediently, her hand on the door frame, her face slightly flushed. "I know, you...you're not allowed to peek."

Since they weren't officially a couple yet, they definitely couldn't be completely honest with Jiang Che...

Jiang Che was taken aback when he heard this, then laughed and flicked her forehead. "Do you think I'm that kind of person? Hurry up and wash your hair. I'll blow-dry it for you when you're done."

Su Qinghe covered her head, said "Oh," and turned around to escape into the bathroom.

Watching the bathroom door close, Jiang Che turned around and sat back on the sofa.

This day was really exhausting.

Between studying, playing volleyball, and fighting, Jiang Che is no iron man, and at this moment, both his mind and body are exhausted to the extreme.

He had been on edge the whole time dealing with Su Daqiang at the Su family villa, but now that he had relaxed, he was starting to feel sleepy.

Jiang Che rubbed his temples, took out his phone and glanced at the time; it was almost ten o'clock.

I have several unread messages on WeChat, all from that kid Wang Kai, talking about things from the campus forum.

Jiang Che glanced at it twice but didn't reply. He was exhausted and had no mind to deal with these messy things.

He leaned back on the sofa, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes to rest. After some time, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

Jiang Che didn't pay attention. He thought Su Qinghe was about to come out, so he stood up from the sofa and prepared to go back to his room to get his clothes to take a shower.

As soon as she stood up, she heard Su Qinghe's soft, sweet voice coming from the bathroom: "Jiang... Jiang Che..."

Jiang Che paused, turned around, and walked to the bathroom door, asking, "What's wrong?"

After a few seconds of silence, Su Qinghe's somewhat embarrassed voice came through, "No... it's just, that..."

"Clothes... I forgot to bring in a change of clothes."

Jiang Che couldn't help but laugh out loud. He's usually a very smart person, so why does he get so confused at crucial moments?

"Okay, wait here, I'll go get it for you."

Jiang Che turned and went into the bedroom, where he immediately saw the pink pajamas that Su Qinghe had neatly folded and placed on the bedside table.

He took his pajamas back to the bathroom door and then knocked.

dong dong dong-

"Open the door, the clothes are here."

The bathroom door lock clicked softly, and then the door was pulled open a crack.

A wet little hand reached out from under the door and scrambled around in the air.

The girl's skin was fair and tender, with glistening water droplets clinging to it, and it was slightly flushed by the steam in the bathroom.

Jiang Che looked at Su Qinghe's little hands flailing in mid-air, and a mischievous thought suddenly popped into his head.

He pulled the clothes behind his back, teasing her deliberately, "You're giving them to me so easily?"

The girl's small hand froze for a moment, then she stretched it out again in a little panic, "Jiang Che, stop fooling around, it's cold..."

The steam from the bathroom kept rising, and the aroma of milk wafted into Jiang Che's nose, making him even more restless.

"It's very simple, if you have a nice voice, I'll give it to you."

"For example... call me 'brother'?"

"elder brother……"

Jiang Che got what he wanted, so he decided to stop while he was ahead and slipped the clothes through the crack in the door, just in case the person actually got cold.

A moment later, the person inside seemed to have finished dressing, and she suddenly pulled the bathroom door open from the inside.

A thick cloud of water vapor rushed towards me, followed by—

Before Jiang Che could react, he saw a white figure pounce out.

Su Qinghe was already dressed, covering her entire body except for her head.

Only a bit of her collarbone was exposed, glistening with water droplets. Her hair was wet and cascading down her back, and she was radiating wisps of steam.

"Why--"

Jiang Che was startled and instinctively opened his arms to catch her.

These floor tiles are so slippery, rushing out like that is suicidal!

Before he could even begin to scold her, her soft, delicate body had already crashed into his arms.

Su Qinghe didn't care about being reserved at all.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Jiang Che's neck, then leaned close to his ear, biting her lip and whispering shyly—

"Brother~"

For a moment, Jiang Che froze on the spot, and after a long while, he asked incredulously, "There's a buy-one-get-one-free offer?"

Su Qinghe helped Jiang Che straighten his body by supporting his shoulders, and Jiang Che subconsciously raised his eyes to meet the intense gaze of the girl in his arms.

He could see it clearly: Su Qinghe's eyes no longer held the timidity of the past, but were instead filled with a kind of intense emotion that was startling.

That's possessiveness.

It's a possessive desire to devour the person in front of you, leaving not even a bone fragment.

"Actually, it's buy one get three free, bro, bro," she called again.
