The young lady hired me to help her and the young master have an online romance.

Jiang Wan paused for a moment when she saw the words "Call me brother".

Then, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

This young master says he's not curious, but his actions tell a different story.

Having worked as a gaming companion for two years, she's become immune to the term "brother" after calling him that countless times.

Voice is like a second face.

You don't need to amaze the other person, but you should at least leave a good impression.

She cleared her throat, pressed the voice button, and brought the microphone close to the bottom of her phone.

"Brother~"

The two words, with the final syllable drawn out softly, like melting maltose.

With a touch of playfulness and laziness.

It's a little different from calling a customer in a game.

The "business-style voice" is sweet but doesn't come across as coquettish.

Because she doesn't need to seduce the other person.

However, the timing of the business is different.

She really needed to seduce him.

Send a two-second voice message.

The other side remained silent for a full half minute.

Lie: [Hmm]

There is only one word.

Jiang Wan stared at that "hmm," feeling that there was something else hidden in it.

She waited a while, but no more messages came from the other end.

Nice Rabbit Squid: [Goodnight, brother]

Lie: [Peace]

Jiang Wan's way of addressing him changed from: dear, treasure, and now there's another one: brother.

She put her phone in her pocket and took a bite of sweet and sour pork ribs.

*

Inside a luxury apartment in Boston.

Shang Shixu leaned against the headboard, the light from his phone screen reflecting on his angular face.

I clicked on that two-second audio clip and listened to it again.

"Brother~"

Then......

One more time.

One more time.

If Pei Heyun saw him like this now, he would be absolutely stunned.

The dignified young master of Haicheng was actually "completely captivated" by a two-second voice message.

The reason why Shang Shixu listened to it repeatedly was twofold: first, he found it pleasant to listen to, and second, he found it familiar.

The voice quality is very similar to that of the girl who provided the escort service.

But she has to be even sweeter and more charming than her.

It can even...stir your heartstrings.

At 12:30 pm, Jiang Wan pushed open the dormitory door.

Wang Yurong and Zhou Feiyan were both there, but Li Zhile was nowhere to be found.

Zhou Feiyan was scrolling through Weibo on her phone when she suddenly jumped up from her chair.

"Holy crap!"

"Shen Che is coming to our school to film a TV series!"

Jiang Wan was about to unscrew the lid of her water cup when she paused.

Wang Yurong was browsing Taobao to pick out a birthday gift for her boyfriend when she heard this, and she was also surprised, "Really?"

Zhou Feiyan raised an eyebrow. "The studio's schedule has already been released, so how could it be fake?"

"When will we film?" Wang Yurong asked.

Zhou Feiyan: "The schedule says next Friday."

Wang Yurong nodded, "Okay, I'll go check it out later."

"I'm quite curious about what Shen Che looks like in real life."

Some celebrities look good on camera, but are not actually that outstanding in real life.

Filters, angles, lighting... can elevate a six-point appearance to a nine-point one.

Zhou Feiyan understood the meaning behind Wang Yurong's words.

This is a question about whether her brother is good-looking enough.

As a die-hard fan, she naturally firmly believes that Shen Che's looks are absolutely top-notch!

But it's normal for casual fans of Wang Yurong to have such thoughts because they don't understand.

Zhou Feiyan secretly made up her mind that she would get the whole dormitory to go and watch it together.

Let them see for themselves what a "killer in unedited photos" really is!

Zhou Feiyan suddenly remembered that Jiang Wan had also said that she was a fan of Shen Che, and turned her head to look at her.

"Wanwan, you'll be going to see Shen Che too, right?"

Jiang Wan blinked. "...I guess so. I'll go if there's nothing else."

Zhou Feiyan nodded, indicating her understanding.

She knew that Jiang Wan often had to do various part-time jobs, and the timing was unpredictable.

It's okay, if she can't go, I can take pictures and show them to her.

The dormitory fell silent again.

Jiang Wan turned on her computer and continued writing for the essay contest.

At 2:30, Jiang Wan shut down her computer and went to class with Zhou Feiyan.

The afternoon classes finally ended with the sunset painting the sky with vibrant colors.

Jiang Wan ate a few bites of dinner, then took her laptop and plunged into the library to continue polishing the essay for the competition.

At 8 p.m., she picked up her phone and opened Facebook.

Nice Rabbit Squid: [Good morning, dear~]

After a long while, there was still no movement from the other side.

Jiang Wan added a point.

Nice Rabbit Squid: [I reply to you instantly, but you reply to me only after reincarnation. It's okay, baby. You can reply to my messages after you've been reincarnated.]

This time, after about ten seconds, the other side responded.

Lie: [Just answering a professor's question]

Nice Rabbit Squid: [Baby can explain things now?]

Nice Rabbit Squid: [Admit it, you've fallen for me~]

Lie: [Climb]

Nice Rabbit Squid: [Let's go to class, I'm ignoring you.]

Jiang Wan knew all too well that seducing this young master was a difficult task.

There's no point in rushing it.

She began to focus on writing.

I sat there until the library closed at 10 p.m. and finally finished writing the manuscript.

I checked it twice to make sure there were no typos before sending it to the email address.

The moment I shut down the computer, I let out a long sigh of relief.

Next, we just have to wait for the results.

I got back to the dormitory at 10:20.

Zhou Feiyan and Wang Yurong were both lying in bed playing on their phones.

Li Zhile stood in front of the wardrobe, holding up two pieces of clothing and comparing them to herself, seemingly struggling with which one to wear tomorrow.

Jiang Wan didn't disturb them and took a towel into the bathroom.

At eleven o'clock, she finally lay down in her small bed.

The moment the blanket wrapped around my whole body, the fatigue of the day finally found a place to rest.

A notification sound came from WeChat.

She took out her phone and saw that it was a client she had just added that morning.

The chat box contained the 500 yuan he had transferred that morning for the companionship fee.

After receiving the message, Jiang Wan sent a "Thank you, boss" emoji.

At this moment, the other party sent a new message:

【Little Maruko, my name is Pei Heyun. Please add me in your contacts so we can be friends from now on】

Jiang Wan replied: 【Okay, my name is Jiang Wan】

Pei Heyun: [Um, which city are you from?]

Jiang Wan: [Haicheng]

Pei Heyun: [Wow! Fellow townsman! I'm also from Haicheng, but I'm studying abroad now.]

Jiang Wan did not want to get too involved in this "fellow villagers recognizing relatives" drama.

She wanted to end the conversation quickly, so she replied:

Okay, let's talk next time. I need to rest now.

Pei Heyun: [Okay, goodnight]

Jiang Wan: [Goodnight]

......

Boston, Harvard Business School.

The bell had already rung, but Pei Heyun was still sitting in his chair, grinning foolishly, holding his phone.

Shang Shixu, sitting in the front row, turned her head, glanced at his lovesick expression, and parted her thin lips slightly—

"Are you sexually repressed?"

Pei Heyun choked, raised his head and glared at him, "If it weren't for your strength, you would have been beaten to death long ago."

Shang Shixu played with the pen in his hand, his carefree face full of "I don't care".

After Pei Heyun finished complaining, a glint of light appeared in his eyes, and he leaned closer and lowered his voice.

"Brother Xu, I'm being serious, I feel like spring has arrived for me."

"That little Maruko from last night is actually from Haicheng! What an incredible coincidence that we have, right?"

Shang Shixu: "Oh."

Pei Heyun complained, "Are you really that indifferent to your brother's happiness?"

Shang Shixu scoffed, "It's March now, and you've already had your eye on three girls since the beginning of the year, averaging one per month."

"Did your spring come a little too easily?"

Pei Heyun argued, "That was my appreciation of beautiful things, not that I was truly moved."

"I'm telling you, this is the real one!"

Shang Shixu was indifferent, saying, "I don't care if it's true or false."

As he was about to turn around, Pei Heyun quickly grabbed his shoulder, eager to get revenge.

"How dare you talk to me like that? I wonder who's showing off their beauty to Gu Manning like a peacock displaying its tail feathers~"

Shang Shixu raised an eyebrow. "Want to fight?"

Pei Heyun curled his lip. "Just say you want to beat me up. Fight? Do you think I can beat you?"

He tactfully stood up and walked towards the door.

"Let's go, let's go eat."

Shang Shixu put down his pen and was about to get up when a new Facebook message popped up on his phone.

He looked down.

Nice Rabbit Squid: [I'm so bored, baby. Let's spend your money together~]
