This again? Jiang Xiaobai pouted. After she kissed him last time, he thought he had been taken advantage of. When Jiang Xiaobai asked if he wanted to kiss her back, he looked at her the same way and made the same reply. He made it sound like I want to kiss him! Jiang Xiaobai glared at him angrily. “What’s wrong with you? You’re a guy, and I’m a girl. I just want to touch your ears, so why are you making it look like I want to rape you?”
Xiao Su smirked in disdain. “Are you not?”
Hmph! Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t find a good comeback, so she angrily decided not to touch his ears anymore. It’s just ears! As if I haven’t touched them before. Then, she thought about the fact that she had never touched a man’s ears in her life. Ah, I want to touch them. She thought Xiao Su’s reddened ears were adorable. Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t sure when she had this kind of fetish, but from now on, she would be struck by the impulse of touching Xiao Su’s ears when they were reddened up.
She pulled her hand back and quickly reached out for his ears. Before Xiao Su realized what was happening, she covered his ears and squeezed them, then she patted them before taking her hands away. It didn’t even take three seconds for the whole thing to happen. After having his ears forcibly touched, Xiao Su looked at the molester in shock. She was looking smug after doing what she wanted. “I’m going to touch it even if you don’t let me. And I did it.”
Xiao Su’s ears reddened up again, then he mumbled angrily, “You pervert.”
Jiang Xiaobai listened closely, then she arched her eyebrow when he called her a pervert. “What did you call me? A pervert? Alright, since you’re calling me that, I have to live up to my infamy by touching your ears.” She then stood up and tried to touch his ears again. Since he knew what was coming, Jiang Xiaobai failed this time. Xiao Su held both her hands, and he glared at her angrily.
They were standing close to each other. When she noticed his ears reddening up further, she winked at him seductively like a horny woman. “Why are you holding my hands?” She had a big smile on her face, but her eyes gleamed cunningly, as if she was a little vixen. Xiao Su was stunned by how she looked, and it took him a while to snap out of it. The man was about to tell her something, but Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t going to give him a chance, so she said, “Do you want to touch me too?” She wanted to say, Do you want to touch my ears too?
However, she omitted the last part of her question, keeping only the first part in her actual question. That way, she would make it sound like he was also a pervert. Xiao Su’s face flushed from being angered by how shameless she was, and he couldn’t find a good retort.
He wanted to call her something nasty, but when he recalled how she defended her in the elevator back then, the man pushed it down. “Hmph!” He flung her hand away and turned back, not looking at her again.
“You aren’t looking at me, huh? That is just giving me a chance to touch your ears again.”
Xiao Su looked back at her the moment she teased him, his gaze dark. “What do you want?”
Jiang Xiaobai’s expression darkened when she thought of her current situation, looking like a hurt little kitten. “Nothing. I saw you, so I came to say hi. I mean, I know you, so why are you so mad at me?”
I’m mad at you? Xiao Su chuckled dryly and waited for the other shoe to drop.
As expected, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t hold it in for too long if he didn’t ask her, so she said, “Um, I want you to be my pretend boyfriend again.” Before he could refuse, she quickly said, “Since I’m asking you for help, you don’t owe me anything. Take it as me asking you for a favor, so you can ask for my help anytime you want. But if you think my favor isn’t good enough, you can ask for something else as a reward.”
Xiao Su frowned at her proposal. “I thought I told you that was a one time deal.”
“Yeah, but situations change, see. Fate loves to play me for a fool, so please help me. You don’t have anything to do anyway. Well, aside from drinking in bars when you’re upset. My side hustle is a therapist, so if you help me, I can help you get over your breakup.”
A therapist? That’s your side hustle? Bullcrap.
Jiang Xiaobai gave him the puppy-eye look when he said nothing. She hung her head low, looking like a sad little Persian cat. “I don’t have anyone else I can ask for help. Men are dangerous nowadays. The one I met only wanted to sleep with me instead of singing with my soul.”
Huh? He had to say that the woman before him was a cheeky one, and she would always pull off weird stunts. Sometimes, she would pull something horrifying. What did you mean they wanted to sleep with you instead of singing with your soul? That isn’t something girls should say, and even if they do, they won’t say it to a man! “Aw, help me, please. I am a good cook, and I know how to make a lot of snacks. Name anything you want. You’re living alone, right? I can make your meals for you.”
Make my meals for me? Xiao Su was tempted by this offer. Ever since Young Master Ye started caring for his wife and children, he delegated all the company matters to him, for Young Master Ye only trusted him. Thanks to that, Xiao Su spent his days working tirelessly, only resting in the night. Even though he was exhausted, that didn’t mean he could sleep at any time he wanted. That was why Xiao Su would drink a few after work so that he could numb himself and forget about a certain someone for the time being. After he woke up the next day, it would be a new beginning again. If she’s going to cook for me…
“What do you think? It’s an awesome idea, really. I can just go to your place, and my mom won’t nag me all day, every day.” Jiang Xiaobai was not someone who would just go to any guy’s house and stay there. She also knew how dangerous men could be, but she knew that even if she were to stand naked in front of this guy, he would probably just turn away, not even sparing her a look. This guy is a safe one. I have to make him my pretend boyfriend, or I can’t find anyone suitable if I miss him.
“Let me think about it.” Xiao Su didn’t agree immediately.
“What? You need to think about it?”
