A super-rich tycoon? No, just call me the gentlemanly gigolo.

Not long after, Yao Yao sent a picture on WeChat.

The photo shows a small fruit platter with an exquisite presentation. Apples, oranges, and strawberries are cut into even sizes, and there is also a bottle of NFC orange juice and a small dish of nuts.

The background is a corner of her neatly tidied desk.

"Brother, I'm ready, let's begin!"

Jiang Ye said "Oh" and opened WeChat File Assistant to browse through the files.

Besides various game links and flight guide information, it also contains a lot of videos with a high degree of "artistic content".

He smirked, copied a link, and pasted it into the media player.

"It's started playing."

The movie starts loading, and the player window appears on the shared screen.

From Yao Yao's end came the sound of her slurping orange juice. She asked curiously, "Brother, what are we watching? What movie did you choose?"

"It's an old film, quite a classic, you probably haven't seen it. It has a high artistic value."

She tried to create a shared interest: "Hey! You like watching old movies too? Me too! What's the name of the movie? Who's in it?"

Jiang Ye suppressed a laugh and announced a name: "The lead actress... Li Lizhen. A talented actress."

"Li Lizhen?"

Yao Yao searched her memory and realized that he was not a currently active celebrity, but probably a veteran actor.

"Oh, I've never heard of it. It seems to be an old movie."

Just as she was about to ask about the plot and genre, she suddenly saw the movie's opening credits appear on the shared screen, with the title slowly emerging.

She subconsciously uttered, "A...ripe peach...?"

Hmm, judging from the title, it seems like a lighthearted romantic comedy or an art film, but I haven't actually seen it.

"Yeah, I haven't seen it before. The name sounds interesting."

Jiang Ye chuckled inwardly and continued to flatter, "Yeah, it's pretty good. Although it's from an earlier era, it has a high artistic value, especially in... well... the way it deals with people, which is quite profound."

Yao Yao believed her and picked up another strawberry with her fork: "Oh, I'll have to take a good look and learn something."

The film officially begins.

The first few minutes were normal, just some everyday scenes.

The two chatted casually, with Yao Yao sharing the flavors of the various fruits in front of her.

However, as the video began playing and the progress bar slowly advanced, Yao Yao's voice on the phone gradually faded, changing from the initial relaxed chatter to occasional, unintelligible monosyllabic words like "uh...", "um...", and "hmm...".

Ten minutes later, she spoke again, but her voice was hesitant and her breathing seemed erratic.

"Brother...brother...this movie...it...it's...a bit...too...that...!"

Jiang Ye suppressed a laugh, casually pressed the pause button, and deliberately snorted with a slightly dissatisfied tone:

"Which one? Isn't this the type you mentioned to them in the hall before, 'Watching with me every night'? There's also 'All the Way to Hope' and 'Jade Servant Group' coming up. Once your art appreciation level improves, I'll take you into the spiritual world of Mikami Yu, Ayaka, and Sakura Sora."

"Hey bro, you heard that?!"

Yao Yao's voice immediately became so shy it seemed like it could wring water out of her:

"No, please... Brother~ I was wrong! I was just... bragging a little in the living room... I didn't want them to know that you usually ignore me, making me seem unimportant... that's why I said that..."

Her attitude in admitting her mistake was extremely good, her voice was soft and pleading, and Jiang Ye felt his bones lighten.

"Fine, I'll let you off this time... But if you dare to talk bad about me again, I'll see how I deal with you!"

Feeling he'd had enough of teasing, he gracefully backed down, saying, "This is—not—an—example—!"

Yao Yao felt like she'd been granted a pardon and quickly promised, "Yes, yes! I won't do it again! Then... Brother, shall we... still watch this?"

Jiang Ye countered, "What do you think?"

Yao Yao was silent for a few seconds, then spoke again in a more alluring, seductive, and shy tone, whispering:

"Maybe...maybe we shouldn't watch it...watching it like this...is kind of embarrassing...and...it's not very interesting either..."

She paused, then offered a very tempting promise: "Wait...wait until I see my brother...I...I'll sit in his lap...and we'll watch it together, okay? Whatever you want to watch...I'll watch it with you..."

"..."

Jiang Ye touched his nose, knowing full well that this was yet another unattainable pie in the sky, a pie in the sky that was drawn up too high, but...

Listening to that shy, suggestive voice in his headphones, he unconsciously conjured up the corresponding images in his mind, and had to admit—this pancake really smelled delicious!

"Alright, alright, stop making empty promises!"

Jiang Ye felt the restlessness that had just subsided was now surging back with even greater force, so he quickly interrupted her: "You go do your thing, I... I'll go play some games."

Yao Yao seemed a little disappointed, but she didn't dare to continue this dangerous topic, and obediently said, "Then... brother, you go ahead. I... I'll go for a walk in the hall."

"Mm," Jiang Ye replied.

Yao Yao received a notification sound from her side indicating that she had left the room.

Jiang Ye looked at the now quiet "Watch Together" software interface, then at the erotic scene frozen on the screen, let out a long sigh, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"This is like inflicting a thousand wounds on the enemy while losing eight million of your own..."

He casually tossed his phone aside and opened the League of Legends icon.

It seems I'm destined to cool down my burning rage tonight in Summoner's Rift with the incredible plays of my terrible teammates.
