Dating should happen after get off work.

Chapter 7 Don't you look down on a virgin?

The enchanting atmosphere made Jiang Sheng's heart race, even though he had already drunk a little alcohol.

Most importantly... Li Youhe is still in the bathroom!

The sparse sound of flowing water was like a magic potion, constantly eroding Jiang Sheng's reason.

He couldn't help but recall when the last time he did it was—oh, it was with that girl in the system, the one with the quick tongue.

But he drank too much that night, and to be honest, he didn't feel anything.

Moreover, how could a girl whose appearance and name are not even remembered be compared to Xia Xiaoman, who is clearly in heat?

"Want to come?"

"Let's do it another day," Jiang Sheng said sternly. "Today's not a good opportunity."

"What?! Is it because you look down on virgins?! Although I don't have much experience, I've watched a lot of films! I have a lot of theoretical knowledge!"

"Snap—"

Jiang Sheng reached out and patted her buttocks.

The girl gasped and collapsed to the ground, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"Why won't you sleep with me?"

"Another day."

"But if it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't react this way," she said. "I'm beautiful, have a great figure, and a cheerful personality. I've practiced dance since I was little, so my flexibility is amazing. Everyone who looks at me practically has 'I want to sleep with me' written all over their face."

"But it's not my fault that I'm pretty, so why do you keep labeling me like that? So... come on, I want to sleep with you too."

"Snap—"

Jiang Sheng patted her butt again.

"But look at you, you're beautiful, have a great figure, and a cheerful personality. You've practiced dance since you were little, so your flexibility is amazing," Jiang Sheng said with a laugh. "Wouldn't it be such a waste if all I wanted to do when I saw you was sleep with you?"

While saying these words, he didn't forget to rub her buttocks.

If I can't eat it, I can at least touch it.

Xia Xiaoman sat on Jiang Sheng's waist, staring blankly at him.

Jiang Sheng smiled and continued:

"I don't think relationships between men and women have narrowed down to just sex and love. There are many more things I want to do with you."

"There are still so many things we can do together. We can go to Iceland to see the Northern Lights, go to Hokkaido in winter to see the snow falling, go to Bali to try diving, and collect coral reefs. The world is so big, and there are so many things I haven't seen yet. We can go and see them together, Xia Xiaoman."

"I absolutely, uh, I try my best not to be friends with you because of your face and figure... Xia Xiaoman?"

What's going on?

He was filled with emotion for a long time when Xia Xiaoman actually fell asleep on him!

Gently pulling himself out, Jiang Sheng first glanced at the bathroom—the sound of running water was still there.

Safety.

He then laid Xia Xiaoman's body flat on the sofa, looked at her sleeping face, and sighed with his hands on his hips.

Even from just a few words she uttered while drunk, Jiang Sheng could roughly discern some of Xia Xiaoman's troubles.

For a fleeting moment, he felt as if he had stepped into that absurd soul and experienced its vulnerability.

Beautiful people don't necessarily have beautiful lives.

Everyone has their own troubles.

I wonder if Xia Xiaoman will remember what she said today after she sobers up tomorrow.

He wouldn't mind sleeping with her in the right place.

......

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were few.

After leaving Xia Xiaoman's house, Li Youhe suggested taking a short walk around the area to help her sober up.

The time was 11:04, which wasn't very late. Although the two hadn't drunk much, Jiang Sheng wouldn't refuse the girl's invitation.

It was a gently sloping path, with a street lamp every few steps. Between the street lamps were rows of sycamore trees, whose leaves rustled in the evening breeze.

Moonlight filtered through the branches and fell on my shoulders, casting intertwined shadows of trees and people on the ground.

Jiang Sheng and Li Youhe stood very close, so close that their hands touched as they swayed while walking.

Jiang Sheng simply grabbed Li Youhe's small hand; it was cool, smooth, and felt very comfortable to touch.

The girl trembled slightly at first, then let him lead her.

"Actually, what I wanted to ask you tonight was why you work at the cemetery," Jiang Sheng said slowly, enjoying the evening breeze. "But Xia Xiaoman ruined my plans."

"You can ask now."

"Tomorrow," Jiang Sheng shook his head. "Let's sit down and have a good chat after get off work tomorrow."

"it is good."

"But could you give me a heads-up first?" Jiang Sheng turned to look at Li Youhe and said with an awkward smile, "You mean thinking of me because of this job... in a positive or negative way?"

He was still somewhat guilty.

Jiang Sheng knew best what kind of awesome person he was in college.

He kept changing girlfriends and went to bars every night, just like everyone's stereotypical image of a spoiled brat. He only toned it down a little after graduation.

Therefore, he couldn't remember whether he had done anything to wrong Li Youhe.

Perhaps... you've never done this before?

Li Youhe tilted her head, as if she was thinking about something.

"I really like my current job, so it should be a positive thing."

"Li Youhe, you are a good person."

The girl rolled her eyes at him.

Then there was a moment of silence between them, or rather, a perfect silence, the atmosphere was just right, the surroundings were so quiet that they could easily blend into the night, their emotions and worries all mixed together.

After walking for a while, the end of the slope came into view.

"Jiang Sheng"

Li Youhe called his name.

"What's wrong?"

Do you like Xiaoman?

"I like you. We're good friends." Jiang Sheng said frankly, then squeezed the girl's hand. "I like you too. If you ask who I like more, it's you."

"Is this considered a confession?"

"Not really."

"That's sexual harassment."

"Why would you need to go that far!"

Li Youhe chuckled, glancing at Jiang Sheng with a smile: "Just kidding, come closer."

"so?"

He thought he would get a kiss, but when Jiang Sheng's head came close, Li Youhe gently tossed her head, and her high ponytail swayed and brushed against his face.

It's itchy.

Jiang Sheng looked completely bewildered.

"That's enough," Li Youhe said. "Let's go home."

"Oh, I'll call a car to take you home." Jiang Sheng said, taking out his phone. He still had Li Youhe's address saved when he took a taxi home last night.

Li Youhe put her hands behind her back, took two steps back, and looked up slightly at the streetlights overhead. After a while, she spoke:

"You're the kind of person who would take a drunk girl home."

"Of course."

"But I'm not drunk."

Who was Jiang Sheng? He could tell from Li Youhe's tone that something was off.

Looking up at her, the girl still had a gentle smile on her face, just like she always did.

"If it were you, I would still take you there whether you were drunk or not," Jiang Sheng said.

"Thank you."

"Of course."

"Can I go to Iceland with you to see the Northern Lights?" Li Youhe squinted, her tone flat. "And then go to Hokkaido to see the snow falling all around, and go diving and picking coral in Bali?"

Jiang Sheng was sweating profusely.

...That sounds so familiar!

Just as Jiang Sheng was pondering how to answer this question.

Li Youhe chuckled and rolled her eyes at him: "Just kidding."

She had her hands behind her back, leaned slightly forward, and her hair fell down along the corners of her eyes.

"You've been drinking yourself. I'd rather you take care of yourself than me." Li Youhe said, taking out her phone. "I'll just call a taxi home myself. You should go home and rest early too."

"You seemed a little jealous just now," Jiang Sheng said with an awkward smile.

"How could that be?" Li Youhe stepped forward to straighten Jiang Sheng's shirt collar. "Don't overthink it."

In the end, the two of them each called a car. Li Youhe's car arrived first, and she left before Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng was left alone, pondering the conversation that had just taken place.

He took out his phone and opened Li Youhe's WeChat.

[Jiang Sheng]: Send me a message when you get home.

[Li Youhe]: Good

[Li Youhe]: "Kitten Nodding Emoji"

[Jiang Sheng]: You were definitely feeling jealous just now, weren't you?

[Li Youhe]: No, that's not true.

The dappled shadows of the trees dazzled Jiang Sheng's eyes.

He looked up and saw the car he had called slowly pulling up beside him.
