It took her quite a while.

Jiang Yu finally completed the transition from a blank mind to bewilderment, to nervousness, and then to anger.

At first, she thought about just pretending to be dead, but Su Yehao took things too far and put his hand on her leg.

That feeling made Jiang Yu very uncomfortable, a kind of tingling sensation.

And so...

She bit Su Yehao's lower lip, not using much force, but not intending to let him off easily either. She opened her eyes and glared fiercely at this big dummy.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Good grief, she really would bite.

After letting go, Jiang Yu spat and frowned, questioning him, "You! You ambushed me!"

Rubbing his chin, Su Yehao acted as if nothing had happened, smiling happily as he replied, "What ambush? It was just involuntary. Who told you to look so tender, it's irresistible."

"...So it's my fault?"

"Yeah, it's the interest for helping you move. We're close, no need to be so calculating. You were clearly cooperating just now, but now you're denying everything. Tch, women."

Typical blame-shifting, which infuriated Jiang Yu.

She was both ashamed and annoyed, saying, "You rogue!"

Su Yehao quickly gestured for her to be quiet and went to the washbasin on the balcony to look in the mirror. Under Jiang Yu's wary gaze, he sat back down next to her.

Jiang Yu continued to frown. "You've collected the interest, aren't you leaving?"

"Your teeth marks haven't faded yet, are you sure you want me to go home like this?" Su Yehao brazenly said with a grin.

They had talked about it before, and similar things had happened a long time ago.

In addition to being teased often, she had developed some immunity over time. It couldn't be said that she was truly angry; Jiang Yu was just annoyed that he bullied her from time to time, and she didn't tell him to leave again.

Seeing her flustered, Su Yehao took the opportunity and directly turned sideways, resting his head on her lap and continuing to bask in the sun.

"Hmm? Be careful, or I'll strangle you."

Just as Jiang Yu was about to use her special move... tickling him, she suddenly realized that Su Yehao was turning his head and paying attention to something that seemed a bit off. She immediately slapped him in the face, covering his eyes.

It sounded loud, but it didn't hurt much.

Having mustered up the courage, Su Yehao was letting himself go and continued to lie there without moving.

Such a comfortable position, he couldn't bear to leave easily.

Not long after, Su Yehao commented, "You're too skinny, it's hurting my neck."

"..."

"But it's still pretty comfortable."

"..."

Su Yehao's eyes continued to be covered by Jiang Yu. He vaguely heard some grinding of teeth and decisively shut up, no longer teasing her.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Just as Su Yehao was thinking that this girl might really want to strangle him, something unexpected happened.

He only felt Jiang Yu lower her head and actually ambush him, and the experience was much better than just now.

In Su Yehao's opinion, this kind of thing was unimaginable. He even wondered if Jiang Yu was still drunk from last night and hadn't completely sobered up.

Soon.

There were tears dripping on his lips, tasting salty. Su Yehao couldn't help but ask, "Are you crying, or is that snot? It dripped into my mouth."

"...Shut up."

Jiang Yu said with a bit of a sob, desperately:

"Don't talk, listen to me. It's so annoying... It's always like this. You say you don't like me, then you don't. You say you like me, then you tease others. When I was little, I thought I could always be with you, but suddenly I realized you were gone. It's like you're nice to everyone, but you're also a bad man. What did I do to provoke you? Why do you always bully me like this?"

This was no joke.

Su Yehao could tell and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Although part of the reason was a "legacy issue," and he was just taking the blame, he had indeed teased Jiang Yu from time to time over the past year or so, and that was his own fault.

He didn't expect Jiang Yu to react so strongly, even starting to cry.

Holding her wrist, Su Yehao removed Jiang Yu's hand, sat up straight to look at her, and ultimately forced a bitter smile, putting his arm around her shoulders, and said:

"Don't get so worked up, okay? How about I apologize? Maybe it's because I think we're close, and sometimes I'm a little too much with you... As for being a bad man, that's probably a family environment issue. You know my family situation, there's a missing link in my upbringing, with a maximum of four moms at times, or even more."

This was a universal excuse, not the first time he had used it.

Saying this, Su Yehao sighed deeply, adding, "I'm really sorry to you, Jiang Yu. You're beautiful and serious about relationships. I wasn't planning to mess with you, but I still like you a lot."

He was speaking half-truths, and honestly, Su Yehao had been maneuvering between Yin Liuli and Nong Qingying for so long that he himself didn't know what he was supposed to be like.

Ever since the accident last year, he had been very far from the person he once was.

However, he had certainly practiced his smooth-talking skills, and now he spoke again, "I suddenly realized you were moving away, and I'm also quite reluctant."

Jiang Yu was just feeling aggrieved. Seeing Su Yehao explain so earnestly, she tried to control her emotions, so as not to look too embarrassed, and snorted softly, telling him, "Spare me. You're obviously just a playboy. I wasn't kissing you just now, I wanted to bite you again. And don't you go saying anything to Nangong Tian."

"Okay, nothing happened, right? I understand."

Su Yehao finished speaking and deliberately raised his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Jiang Yu suddenly really wanted to bite him hard, he was simply infuriating.

When she realized she was still being held by him, the girl was both embarrassed and shy. She reached out and wiped the corner of her eye, but ultimately couldn't bear to leave, only telling him, "What dripped into your mouth wasn't tears, it was my snot."

"...?"

Su Yehao moved closer to her, making an excuse, "Then let me taste your snot again, come on, let's hurt each other."

...

They were too familiar with each other.

Once they calmed down, they felt awkward instead.

Putting aside everything else, Xiao Ni Zi (little girl) between them was undoubtedly an unavoidable problem.

If Jiang Yu could be shameless, she wouldn't have felt so ashamed and remorseful the last time Xiao Ni Zi went to England.

Therefore, when she had completely calmed down, Jiang Yu stood up and took a few steps back, warily saying:

"No matter what, it's better for us not to make mistakes. Your lips are very red now, you'd better walk around outside before going home, to avoid her noticing anything unusual. My mom will be over later, so I won't keep you for dinner. I'll invite you another time."

This attitude was enough to explain many things.

Su Yehao didn't expect to make any further progress in such a short time, nodding to her and saying, "Okay, then I'll leave now."

...

He found a reason and went to the tAt headquarters first.

He really wasn't in the mood to deal with business matters, so he just stayed in the office, spacing out.

Su Yehao wanted to win over Jiang Yu, but there were indeed many problems.

For example, Nong Qingying, who lived on the top floor of her building. If Jiang Yu was discovered, it would be completely over, not to mention Yin Liuli in Casino, 1997.

A moment of impulse had brought endless worries.

The more he thought about it, the more unsolvable it seemed, to the point where he wished he could hang himself from the southeast branch and be done with it...
