The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

"I suddenly realized you pay a lot of attention to your appearance, which seems completely out of character for you..."

Ye Zhi put away the mirror, turned to me and said, "Isn't it normal for women to like dressing up? I think it makes me look much better, don't you think?"

So Ye Zhi moved her face closer to me, allowing me to observe her delicate face more closely.

So besides the perfume she was wearing, I also smelled a sweet scent.

"What lipstick are you wearing? It smells a bit like peach..."

Ye Zhi glanced at me and said, "Would you like to try some?"

So I touched the lipstick on her lips with my finger and tasted it... Hmm, it really does taste like peach.

"How is it?" Ye Zhi asked.

"It's quite sweet, making you want to eat more. The lipstick you chose is good," I commented.

So Ye Zhi gave me the lipstick she had just been using.

"If you like it, then I'll give it to you."

I paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something was off; our behavior just now was incredibly childish...

"No one would eat lipstick like it's food. It's something you put on your lips and eat when you kiss..." I said speechlessly.

Ye Zhi thought for a moment, then brought her alluring lips closer to mine and said in a serious tone, "Then you eat, and I'll take this opportunity to experience the feeling of kissing during this morning's activities again. It was a little warm and a little tingly, quite comfortable..."

Chapter 55. The Track Starts to Go Astray

I actually got flirted with her, and by a fledgling bird no less...

But the next second she leaned back and said casually, "Never mind, lest you ruin my makeup that I just touched up."

I've already taken my pants off, and you're telling me this?

But Ye Zhi clearly didn't understand my frustration. She suddenly said, "I overheard your conversation with Guan Hao."

I blinked. She had actually been squatting by the toilet door eavesdropping, but she calmly hummed in agreement and waited for what would happen next.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Ye Zhi said again, "Aren't you going to explain?"

"Explain what?" I don't think I said anything wrong.

"You said you didn't know what I liked, so you couldn't help him. Does that mean if you knew what I liked, you would have helped him?"

You're a true logical genius...

"I was just being polite, you know? Just being polite..."

Why bother with formalities? Just tell him directly, "I don't want to help you, get lost," wouldn't that be enough?

"My dear sister, not everyone is as straightforward as you, okay?" I said speechlessly.

Ye Zhi was puzzled and asked, "Is it very straightforward? I think it's great. I always say what I mean at work, which is the only way to ensure efficient execution. If everyone beats around the bush, it will cause a lot of misunderstandings..."

"I didn't say it was bad... it just depends on the situation. You should leave room for maneuver in other people's lives. I think someone as experienced in the workplace as you should understand this principle..."

Ye Zhi looked at me with some dissatisfaction after I questioned her abilities.

"Anyway, I don't care what they think of me. They have to listen to the arrangements I make and accept my criticisms."

“I don’t have as much experience as you when it comes to work, but you still need to pay more attention to interpersonal relationships in life…” As a friend, I was just trying to help her, so I had to be direct.

I don't know if Ye Zhi listened to my advice. She was silent for a while, then looked at me and said, "No matter what, you can't help him pursue me, or you'll be in for a world of hurt! Humph!"

"Yes, yes, yes, President Ye is the boss, I will do whatever President Ye says..." Of course I wouldn't be stupid enough to help Guan Hao pursue Ye Zhi, wouldn't that just make trouble for myself?

Ye Zhi was finally satisfied, so she stepped on the gas and drove the car out of the parking lot.

"Where are you going?" I asked somewhat warily.

"Of course we're going to my place! Didn't you say you'd play games with me tonight?"

"I can't tonight... I have to get up early tomorrow to pick up my sister. She's coming to our university here."

"You have a younger sister?" Ye Zhi asked, unusually curious.

"Yes, he's six years younger than me and started university this year."

"I also have a younger brother, but he's only in the third grade of elementary school this year." Ye Zhi smiled when she talked about her brother, showing how much she dotes on him.

I asked curiously, "Is he your younger brother? He's so much younger than you..."

Ye Zhi immediately stopped smiling and said, "He is my stepmother's child."

I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that when I went to her house earlier, she had thrown a tantrum and complained about her parents. I suspected that she was having a conflict with her family, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Although I don't know the specifics, I can tell that she doesn't like her stepmother very much.

I wisely refrained from asking further and changed the subject, saying, "Can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, go ahead and tell me."

"My sister must have brought a lot of luggage. I'd like to drive to pick her up. Can I borrow your car?" I should have bought a car a long time ago, but I've always felt it wasn't necessary.

Ye Zhi said nonchalantly, "Then just drive any car from my garage later."

That's outrageously extravagant...

……

I drove back to the apartment. No one was in the living room. Bi Antong must have been live streaming. Sure enough, she opened the door to confirm that I had returned, then locked the door and went back to live streaming.

She's really exhausted. She works part-time at a maid café during the day on weekends and does live streams at night. She's really pushing herself...

After taking a shower, it was still early, so I watched a short movie on the TV with the internet connected. During the movie, my younger sister Xin Ning sent me a message saying that she had boarded the high-speed train and would arrive around 8 a.m. the next morning. I replied that I would pick her up on time.

The movie was quite captivating, and before I knew it, an hour had passed. Bi Antong, wearing a nightgown, had finished showering, tossed her clothes into the washing machine, and washed them with mine. Then she sat cross-legged next to me, wafting a faint scent of shower gel that smelled wonderful.

I glanced at her; her hair was a little damp and not completely dry. She was holding her Ragdoll cat, Pineapple, in one arm and fanning herself with the other. She seemed to have just come out of a warm bath and was a little hot, so I bent down, picked up the remote control from the table, and turned on the air conditioner for her.

"Hold on for a second, I have something to ask you," Bi Antong said abruptly after cooling off.

I sighed inwardly. What's meant to happen will happen. I thought I could watch this action movie peacefully.

"Wait a minute, I need to use the restroom."

Bi Antong pouted and said, "Hurry up..."

I hid in the bathroom, thinking about how to respond later. So much had happened today, from when I pounced on her at the maid café to the power struggle between Lu Xiaojun and her in the office. I felt very overwhelmed and didn't know how to explain things clearly.

"Why haven't you come out yet?" Bi Antong urged from the living room.

If I stayed any longer, I would develop kidney deficiency, so I had no choice but to leave the restroom.

"Wait a moment, I'm a little thirsty, I'll make myself something to drink."

Bi Antong said impatiently, "Why are you making such a fuss!"

I gave an awkward smile, went to the kitchen, took out two cups, and slowly made two cups of honey water.

"Aren't you ready yet?" Bi Antong urged again.

"OK OK."

I brought out two cups of honey water, placed one in front of her, and said in a flattering tone, "I made this for you. It's good for your complexion. Drink a cup every night before bed, and I'll make you more and more beautiful!"

To my surprise, Bi Antong actually fell for it. After hearing my words, she blushed slightly and scolded me, "You're so glib, you're definitely up to no good..."

"That's not fair of me. I'm just trying to show I care about you!" I decided to strike first and make her feel guilty.

Bi Antong snorted, "Don't give me that. You're always out early and back late. You care about me? It's not as nice as you make it sound..."

Great, she's forgotten about the important matter. I changed the subject and said, "Look, your hair isn't dry yet. Let me use a hairdryer to dry it for you, so you don't catch a cold from the air conditioning."

"Can you play it?" Bi Antong asked with some doubt.

I confidently replied, "Need you even ask? I used to blow-dry my girlfriend's hair all the time, so my skills are pretty good."

Then Bi Antong looked at me with a complicated expression...

I feel like I've walked into a narrow path...

After a long silence, she said to me, "When did you and Xiaojun get together?"

"Didn't I tell you last time? I only met her because we were planning today's school anniversary event... What do you mean by 'we're dating'? That sounds awful..."

Bi Antong bit her lip, still not believing it, and said, "Then why was she so aggressive towards me today? I've never seen her treat anyone like that before."

Could it be that your friendship is just a facade?

"She said she wanted to rest in my office, but I told her no one was there. When I got there, I found you lying there. She probably felt she had been tricked, so she got angry, but she couldn't take it out on me, so she took it out on you?" I said, making up a story with a straight face.

Unexpectedly, she actually fell into deep thought, seemingly lost in thought.

So I watched as she seized the opportunity to counterattack, saying, "Why are you so concerned about my relationship with Xiaojun? You don't have some kind of secret, do you?"

How would I know what secret she had? I never expected her to actually blush, avoid my gaze, and stammer, "Who cares what your relationship with Xiaojun is? I... I'm just worried you might have ulterior motives towards Xiaojun. Don't think you can bully her just because she's innocent..."

I'm a little hurt. She said the same thing last time. Do I really look that bad...?

Seeing that I was staring at her, Bi Antong couldn't stand it anymore and stood up, saying, "What are you still spacing out for? Hurry up and help me dry my hair!"

Knowing when to stop, I silently followed her into the room, climbed onto the bed with her, and began to give her a blowjob, while she quietly enjoyed my ministrations…

So many messy things happened today, I can hardly keep track of them all, but one thing is certain: after this week, my life will be on a different track, a track whose future I can't see clearly.

(The first volume has ended. There's a lot I want to say. The character development might be a little lacking, but I'm trying my best and will strive to write more novel and interesting plots. The second volume will definitely be a better one. I hope everyone can continue to support me. Thank you to all the readers who generously donated your monthly tickets! The second volume starts tomorrow, and I'll be catching up on updates!!)

Chapter 1, Section 56: My Sister Has Arrived (First Update)

Hua Xinning arrived at the Shanghai high-speed rail station around 8 o'clock, while I had already gotten up at 6 o'clock to prepare breakfast for three people at home. I ate one portion myself, left one portion for Bi Antong who was still fast asleep, and packed another portion in a lunchbox to take to Xinning. Then I drove to pick her up at 7 o'clock sharp.

The reason I picked Xin Ning up so early was because I was worried that she would feel lost and helpless when she arrived at the station alone in an unfamiliar city. In my eyes, she has always been a somewhat introverted girl. She is quite outgoing when she is with her family, but she is a bit timid when she is with strangers, giving people a pitiful look. That's why I was a little annoyed that my parents didn't come with Xin Ning. She is such a beautiful little girl, and she looks so fragile. What if something happens to her?

But my parents say Xin Ning is an adult now and needs to be toughened up. She can't always hide in the family's safe haven. That makes sense, but I just feel that it's okay for a girl to be a little pampered. Anyway, I'd rather hold Xin Ning in the palm of my hand and protect her for the rest of my life...

While driving, I sent Xin Ning a message to tell her not to oversleep, but my worries were obviously unnecessary, as she replied instantly.

"I woke up really early, and there are people all around, so I can't fall back asleep..."

I could feel her distress even through the screen, so I sent her a voice message to comfort her: "Just bear with it a little longer, you'll be at your stop soon."
