Chapter 176: The Little Rich Girl is Getting More Rebellious

In the minds of many people, Feng Nanshu was always seen as cold, quiet and unreachable – like a pure white memory from one’s youth that remains distant yet noble, losing none of its purity even after many years.

But now, she was lying back on the sofa, dangling a black-stockinged foot, looking straight at him and calling him “brother” in a sweet voice.

Jiang Qin felt that even if someone like Ding Xue, with all her acting skills, absolutely could not utter a “brother” so moving and soul-stirring.

Because the difference between fake cuteness and real cuteness was truly vast, and the devastation wrought by ordinary cuteness versus stunning cuteness was worlds apart.

Feng Nanshu was undoubtedly the supreme champion among them.

It’s just that perhaps even she herself was unaware of how enticing she was right now.

Jiang Qin had never been in a relationship and lacked experience dealing with such foes. Relying on his own fortitude to hold out this long was already quite impressive. Even if Monk Xuanzang were here, he’d probably have to say “Coach, I want to learn this.”

But Xuanzang could not learn it. Reflexology required innate talent.

“Little rich girl, I’ll give you one last chance, or else I’m really going to eat you up!”

“Brother…”

“Feng Nanshu, you…you really are getting more and more rebellious!!!”

Outside the window, the snow was falling more heavily, already piling up on the windowsill and reflecting the glow of the streetlights not far away.

On this quiet, peaceful snowy night, Jiang Qin suddenly thought that perhaps Santa Claus really did exist in this world.

Because presents really were put in stockings!

After a while, he sat up straight, took a couple sips from the thermos on the table, then covered the blanket again and wordlessly opened the folder to play Spirited Away, watching the movie with utmost righteousness, not daring to let his eyes stray.

As a textbook-level masterpiece among animated films, Spirited Away was like a magnificent yet eerie dream woven by Hayao Miyazaki. Its artistic elements were of the highest caliber and the storytelling was brilliant. From the unbridled plot to the colorful scenery, it showcased the pinnacle skill of a generation’s greatest animation master.

Many films these days can’t withstand the test of time and become outdated after a few years, but films that become classics still possess a timeless charm.

Look at the portrayal of these expressions, look at the design of this dialogue, analyzing it from the perspective of a professional film critic…

Alright, he couldn’t keep up the act. Taking a deep breath, he turned to look at Feng Nanshu.

“What happened earlier is a secret between close friends. You absolutely cannot tell anyone else. When I came in, I had already left my baseline at the door, that’s the only reason that happened. Later when we leave, I’ll pick it back up and put it on. Let’s just pretend nothing happened at all.”

Jiang Qin said with utmost seriousness.

“I understand. We’ll pretend nothing happened at all.”

Feng Nanshu gently rubbed her little feet with her hands, mumbling an acknowledgment.

Hearing this, Jiang Qin felt relieved, but couldn’t help recalling the scene of Professor Yan in this very room, unable to resist temptation and drinking heavily.

Was Room 207 a depression for moral baselines?

Oh, no wonder. Guess he can’t just blame himself then.

Professor Yan was usually very self-disciplined yet lenient with others. If even he would lose his baseline coming to this room, what more him, an ordinary college student.

Tomorrow he’ll have Lanlan make a little box labeled “Temporary Baseline Storage” to mount by the door.

“Open your mouth. Swallow it.”

“If you don’t eat the food of this world, you will gradually disappear.”

“…”

As the plot progressed, the little rich girl’s eyes gradually lit up, her attention drawn in, her little mouth agape in astonishment, looking very cute.

After going through the tunnel into another world, eating food turns you into a pig, a boatload of spirits and demons, the many-legged boiler room grandfather – each scene assaulted her small worldview.

Jiang Qin stared at her for a while, the corners of his mouth curling up, unable to hold back a confident smile.

The first time he saw Feng Nanshu, he noticed her reading Peggy Sue Got Married, a fantasy adventure novel, with utmost focus in the library. Calling her a chuunibyou girl would be no exaggeration. So Spirited Away was definitely to her taste. Seeing it now, his judgment was clearly correct.

Was it hard to please a beautiful fairy-like girl?

With him making a move, it was probably already the pinnacle of what was humanly possible.

But to be honest, if Feng Nanshu didn’t depend on him this much, pleasing a rich beauty like her would likely be very difficult.

Because only if she’s willing to let you please her can you do anything to reach her heart. But if she’s unwilling, even if you lassoed the moon for her she’d still think it too heavy to hold.

Jiang Qin changed positions, tugging the blanket up a bit, and fed a potato chip into her little mouth while he was at it.

Strange.

Feng Nanshu’s lips looked much more enticing than usual, moist and luscious.

Jiang Qin couldn’t help holding his breath. He picked up his teacup and took a couple sips to calm himself.

“Jiang Qin, I’m thirsty too.”

“Did you bring your cup?”

Feng Nanshu shook her head, her gaze still glued to the screen, unwilling to look away.

Jiang Qin could only unscrew the lid of his thermos and reach over to hand it to her, but saw the little rich girl part her red lips slightly, clearly wanting him to feed her.

The two of them often shared the same chopsticks, having consumed who knows how much of each other’s saliva, so sharing a cup was no issue at all.

Perhaps it was because the lights were off, with the only illumination in the room coming from the TV screen, but in this environment, Feng Nanshu drinking water with her mouth open looked pure yet alluring.

“It’s a bit hot, take small sips.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Qin had just put the thermos down after feeding her water when his eyes suddenly froze, staring at the rim of the cup and gradually spacing out.

That ring around the rim was originally plain stainless steel, very bright under the light of the TV, but now there was a faint pink lipstick mark, petite and adorable.

The little rich girl’s lipstick was coming off?

Jiang Qin’s eyes slowly widened. “Holy crap, Feng Nanshu, are you wearing lipstick?”

Feng Nanshu panicked for a moment. Though feeling a bit guilty, she still said matter-of-factly, “Just a tiny bit.”

“Why would you think to put on lipstick?”

“W-Wenhui put it on me. I didn’t want to but she forced me.” Feng Nanshu looked lofty.

After hearing this, Jiang Qin felt his scalp go numb. “Damn, Xiao Gao is a real terrorist. What the hell is she trying to do?”

“I don’t know, but I won’t play with her anymore from now on.”

“You better remember what you said today.”

“Okay.”

Feng Nanshu nervously moved her gaze back to the TV, but couldn’t help flashing back to the earlier scene in her mind.

Wang Haini was the second one in their dorm to get a handsome big teddy bear, second only to her in speed.

Since it was Christmas Eve, of course Wang Haini also wanted to go out and celebrate with her big teddy bear.

So she spent the whole afternoon doing her brows and makeup in the dorm, dolling herself up to look exquisite and elegant.

This scene made the little rich girl eager to try it herself.

She didn’t know how to do makeup and didn’t understand it. Her dorm sisters also rarely wore makeup. But after witnessing the effects of Wang Haini’s makeup firsthand, she really couldn’t help being shocked.

Women, no matter how silly, were all vain creatures.

Gao Wenhui was a clever girl and indeed had some skills. With one glance, she could tell the little rich girl wanted to try it out for Jiang Qin to see. So she picked out a lip color that would enhance Feng Nanshu’s natural lip color – very light, soft, and gentle.

But truly, infinitely alluring.

At first, Jiang Qin found it strange, thinking how Feng Nanshu’s little mouth was so enticing tonight, making him want to steal a kiss like crazy.

He thought he had gone bad, but it turned out to be Xiao Gao causing mischief behind his back.

Thank goodness, thank goodness he had pulled Gao Wenhui into Xitian. If such a terrorist were let loose on the outside, what a huge threat she would pose to his personal safety.

Soon, the two-hour long movie came to an end. When the final credits finished rolling, the software automatically returned to the black interface, plunging the room without lights into total darkness.

“Jiang Qin, let’s watch the next one.”

Feng Nanshu’s voice rang out in the dark.

“In another hour, you won’t be able to get back to your dorm. How will you sleep then?”

Jiang Qin didn’t dare watch the next one.

“I want to stay here and watch with you all night.”

Feng Nanshu curled up her legs, hugging them, not feeling sleepy at all.

“But…my health bar is running a bit low.”

“?”

Jiang Qin moved the mouse and hesitated for a while before finally opening The Pursuit of Happyness.

This movie was also a classic, released not long ago, with pirated versions very popular on the internet. But people without much life experience probably could not fully understand it, especially the struggling parts. The little rich girl most likely would not get it.

Back when he was a corporate slave, Jiang Qin relied on this movie to keep his spirits up, hoping to make something of himself through hard work. In the end, he found it was all for naught.

Sure enough, not long into the movie, Feng Nanshu started yawning, her little head constantly drooping toward Jiang Qin’s shoulder.

In her world, this movie was far less appealing than the fantastical adventures in Spirited Away.

“Is it a bit boring?”

“I love watching it.” Feng Nanshu looked serious.

Jiang Qin chuckled. “Your eyes can barely stay open. Go back and sleep.”

“Jiang Qin, just a little longer.”

“How about this, I’ll take you out for a little walk to wake you up a bit?”

Hearing the word “walk,” the little rich girl immediately nodded in agreement, then stuck out her feet for him to help put on her shoes.

The two of them left the entrepreneurship base, holding up an umbrella, holding hands and aimlessly strolling forward, leaving double rows of footprints in the snow.

From the rear training field to the maple grove, from the maple grove to Wangyue Lake, from Wangyue Lake to the PE building.

After the snowfall, Linchuan University was a silver-clad fairyland, beautiful beyond compare.

Finally, the little rich girl foolishly realized she had been delivered to her dorm entrance.

“Alright, go back and wash your feet, then get in bed like a good girl. Sweet dreams.”

“Jiang Qin, you’re a bad guy.” Feng Nanshu knew she had been tricked.

“Who’s the bad guy? We agreed beforehand, only watching one movie tonight. My health bar is empty, I need to go back and recover. You be good and listen.”

Hearing him say this, the little rich girl could only wave goodbye, watching him leave. Then she scurried back to her dorm, took off her stockings, and blankly stared at her pink little toes.

At the same time, Jiang Qin returned to his dorm and was greatly surprised to see Old Cao actually lying in bed.

This guy had borrowed 500 yuan from him this morning and even told Zhou Chao to leave the door open for him early tomorrow morning. How come he was now obediently lying in bed?

“Yo?”

“What yo? Scram!”

Cao Guangyu was pissed. He turned over to face the wall.

Girls were such strange creatures. His girlfriend was the one who asked if the girls across the hall were pretty. He said they were alright and she still got mad. What kind of logic was that?

But thankfully, Jiang Qin this son of a gun had also come back. That at least provided him some consolation.
