Chapter 220: Can Good Friends Kiss?

“Enough talking. Good things shouldn’t be finished all at once.”

Feng Nanshu pursed her red, moist lips. “Brother, say a bit more to your little sister.”

“?”

Jiang Qin turned his head and saw the little rich girl’s eyes shining with mischief. He suddenly realized a very serious problem.

All that “brother this” and “brother that” was actually the censored version.

The full version of what she learned from Ding Xue should be “Brother, the boiled fish is delicious. Give your little sister a bite.”

The little rich girl used to only half-release her ultimate move, calling him brother without referring to herself as little sister, so he was always left with a sliver of health. But this time, with her full power unleashed, he was having trouble withstanding it.

“Alright, I’ll say one more thing then.”

“Actually, boss’s wife is a very formal position in a company. It’s equivalent to a female boss and has no impure or special meaning with the boss. Many people think the boss’s wife must be in a relationship with the boss, but that’s pure slander. Good friends can also be the boss’s wife. You’re my good friend, so you can be my boss’s wife. The law stipulates it as such.”

Jiang Qin solemnly spouted a long string of words to let the little rich girl have her fill, with blind indulgence as the main theme.

But after a few sentences, Feng Nanshu grew more and more confused.

Her tiny worldview didn’t contain many things to begin with, and now it was being stuffed with wads of Jiang Qin’s specious reasoning, making it utterly chaotic.

“Understand?”

“Jiang Qin, you’re a bad egg.”

Feng Nanshu put on a cold expression. She kind of wanted to kick him, but didn’t dare.

Hearing this, Jiang Qin quirked his lips in a carefree smile, as if he wasn’t flustered at all, and directed everyone to come get their milk tea in turn.

At the same time, the small group sitting in the back right suddenly began exchanging glances, and the atmosphere around them gradually stiffened.

If Xitian with its built-in popularity was a dimensional attack on the milk tea shops in University of Technology’s business district, then Feng Nanshu’s level of beauty was absolutely another dimensional attack for University of Technology, where female students were scarce.

Brows and eyes as if painted, a cold and aloof air, skin white as snow—a waist-cinching dress showed off her graceful figure to perfection. Paired with her 1.7-meter height, she was simply out of this world.

And such a heavenly beauty was actually their boss’s wife?

Did the boss…deserve her?

You have to know, before Feng Nanshu appeared, Jiang Qin was like a god in their minds. But when she showed up, everyone still felt that the god had gotten a great bargain.

With a girlfriend like this, what normal person would waste time on starting a business?

“Is that really our boss’s wife?”

“Of course. We met her once before at University of Science and Technology. The boss’s wife treats people very well and is very generous.”

“She’s from Linchuan University too?”

“Yes, and she was even our boss’s high school classmate.”

“Damn, how many lifetimes of good deeds did our boss do to get such a dazzling girl?”

Upon hearing the part-time worker from University of Science and Technology finish the intel, the crowd immediately erupted into a flurry of chatter, with endless exclamations of amazement.

Li Xiaoxiao, Sun Yue, Zhao Wenhua, and Wang Le all lowered their heads, curling up like quails. Thinking back on that scene just now, they were so embarrassed their scalps went numb.

Calling her boss’s wife in advance?

What “from the dragon’s work”?

A long-distance relationship between different schools?

Oh my god, fortunately their voices weren’t loud at the time and no one else heard. Otherwise wouldn’t they be mocked for who knows how long?

Yes, Gu Tiantian could be considered a beauty at University of Technology. Otherwise everyone wouldn’t think she had a chance at pursuing the boss. But compared to the real boss’s wife, the difference was simply too huge. She was like a gauche little girl.

Let’s not even mention looks. Just in terms of dress and bearing, they were worlds apart. There was no need to compare at all.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoxiao, Sun Yue, Zhao Wenhua, and Wang Le couldn’t help feeling embarrassed for Gu Tiantian. Their scalps tingled even more than when they were embarrassed for themselves.

What was that about not being lenient if they didn’t work hard?

What was that about a long-distance relationship being fine since he had a car?

Good lord, it was mortifying to the point of nearly catching fire.

The four couldn’t help glancing at Gu Tiantian, and sure enough, her expression had frozen. The confession letter she had prepared in advance was unconsciously crumpled into a ball, and the little red heart stuck on it had silently fallen off at some point.

To be honest, before Jiang Qin arrived, Gu Tiantian had already begun endless fantasies about her future life.

For example, when she entered this classroom in the future, everyone would raise their heads and call her boss’s wife, while she would smile and encourage them to work hard.

For example, she would sit in the passenger seat of that black Audi with the window half-open, her captivating long hair blown by the wind outside.

And for another example, when Lai Cunqing hesitated and couldn’t make a decision, and Jiang Qin was too busy to come, they would have to come ask her, because she was the boss’s wife.

Girls all liked these kinds of fantasies.

But the second Feng Nanshu appeared, she realized that fantasies could only be fantasies after all, and would never become reality.

“No wonder Yu Shasha didn’t pursue him herself…”

Gu Tiantian suddenly recalled Yu Shasha’s expression last night. Upon hearing that she wanted to pursue Jiang Qin, it was as if she had seen a ghost. Sure enough, she must have seen Jiang Qin’s girlfriend early on.

But Jiang Qin was in the wrong too. He already had a girlfriend, so why did he say he never dated?

Did he not know that saying that would give others hope?

The more Gu Tiantian thought about it, the angrier she got. She crumpled the confession letter into a ball.

Right at this moment, Lai Cunqing in the front waved his hand, telling them to hurry over and get their milk tea.

Tang Li had also just recovered from that bout of awkwardness. Not caring what mood Gu Tiantian was in right now, she hurriedly pulled her to get milk tea.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t be the boss’s wife, but you have to at least finish the part-time job, right? Other places can’t offer this level of wages.

The real boss’s wife came to deliver milk tea and show care for the employees. When she called you and you ignored her, you definitely wouldn’t be able to last here in the future, okay? That was the real boss’s wife, not an imaginary one. Pillow talk was way more powerful than actual authority.

“Thank you, boss’s wife.”

“Thank you, boss’s wife.”

“…”

After a round of people finished, Tang Li also took a cup. She walked out a couple steps and glanced at Gu Tiantian, only to find that she hadn’t taken any milk tea and was instead staring blankly at Jiang Qin, as if she had a thousand words to say.

Seeing this scene, Tang Li nearly had a heart attack. She hurriedly signaled with her eyes for Gu Tiantian to leave, but she paid no attention at all.

“Didn’t you say you don’t date and don’t have a girlfriend?”

Gu Tiantian’s eyes were a bit red, but she was still fairly calm.

Jiang Qin glanced at her. “I don’t have a girlfriend, but you all have a boss’s wife.”

“…”

Feng Nanshu raised her little face, looking at Jiang Qin, then at Gu Tiantian. Her fragrant, soft little hand grumblingly punched the handsome bear’s pocket a couple times.

Gu Tiantian still wanted to say something more, but the moment she raised her head, she saw that clear, cold, absolute beauty. The oppressive aura rushed forth, instantly stripping away all her confidence.

Some beautiful girls looked good at first glance but weren’t pleasing to keep looking at. Some girls looked good from afar but average up close. Some had nice side profiles but ordinary front views.

But the Feng Nanshu standing before her at this moment truly did not have a single flaw.

Gu Tiantian took a milk tea and softly said “Thank you, boss’s wife,” then followed Tang Li back to her seat. After that, she didn’t speak at all, her eyes frighteningly cold.

Nearing noon, the school’s class bell rang, instantly rousing the people at work. At Jiang Qin’s indication, Lai Cunqing waved his hand, telling everyone to go eat.

“How about I take you to try University of Technology’s cafeteria?”

Feng Nanshu obediently nodded. “Okay.”

Jiang Qin stuck his hands in his pockets and squeezed her little hand. “What do you want to eat?”

“Dumplings.”

Jiang Qin didn’t have a meal card for University of Technology, and neither did Lai Cunqing, so they could only follow the part-time workers to freeload.

University of Technology’s cafeteria didn’t differ much from Linchuan University’s cafeteria. The only difference might have been the color of the chairs—one yellow, one blue.

Lai Cunqing and Ding Qiaona personally served the boss and boss’s wife, bringing over dumplings and vinegar. They also got an order of the pan-fried tofu and pork belly with preserved vegetables that Jiang Qin wanted to eat, plus a serving of rice.

The little rich girl was currently staring at him, her eyes cold and aloof, looking down on all. But no one could have imagined that she really wanted Jiang Qin to feed her.

“Open up.”

“Jiang Qin, dip it in a bit more vinegar.” Feng Nanshu pointed at the vinegar dish.

“?”

Jiang Qin glanced at the dumpling he had picked up, thinking that it was already drowning in vinegar. She wanted even more? How come she could eat so much vinegar today?

Feng Nanshu watched as he rolled the dumpling around the vinegar dish again. She arrogantly ate it in one bite, but it was so sour she hissed and her cold little expression instantly collapsed. She even stuck out the tip of her pink tongue.

“Little vinegar jar, want another one?”

“Another one, but no vinegar this time.”

Jiang Qin was too lazy to switch to a pair of chopsticks not dipped in vinegar. He directly put them in his mouth and slurped, then picked up a dumpling and fed it over, filling the little rich girl’s mouth to satisfaction.

The two pure and innocent good friends had never kissed, but they had probably exchanged more saliva than actual couples. It was clean and hygienic. If he had to comment, Jiang Qin felt that the little rich girl’s saliva tasted like a very fresh and fragrant sweetness.

He wondered if her little mouth tasted that sweet too.

Jiang Qin fell silent for a moment and took out his phone. Through WAP, he entered Baidu and typed a line of text in the search box.

[Baidu: Can good friends kiss?]

[Answer: No.]

[Baidu: Why not?]

[Answer: “Why Not” is a classic old song performed by Andy Lau, with lyrics by Xue Zhongming and composition by Yin Kui…]

Jiang Qin found it all pointless. Damn it, good friends couldn’t even kiss? Was there no more law in this world?

He stuffed his phone back in his pocket and continued eating.

And Gu Tiantian was watching them from the rear right, her gaze resentful yet only daring to be resentful. She casually picked at her food a couple times, then followed Tang Li back to the dorm, lost in thought.

She wanted to be the boss’s wife and had even preemptively assumed the role. Moreover, under everyone’s flattery, she had truly tasted the sweetness.

But the next second, she discovered that the real boss’s wife was as beautiful as a fairy, worlds apart from her. There was no room for comparison at all.

For something this awkward, it would definitely take at least ten days to half a month to recover from. But there were always those inconsiderate people who just loved to spectate.

For example, Chen Wenfang, who was off today, opened her mouth and asked about the result of the confession.

“Tiantian, did Jiang Qin agree?”

“He already has a girlfriend.” Gu Tiantian responded in a low voice.

Chen Wenfang was very surprised. “Huh? Who?”

Yu Shasha couldn’t help but laugh “It must be Feng Nanshu the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen in my life. No one can win against her no one.”

“Is it really that exaggerated?” Chen Wenxiu found it a bit unbelievable.

“Isn’t my male god handsome and dazzling enough? But no one believed Feng Nanshu would take a liking to him. She was the pearl of our South City High School. They all felt that no matter how bright Jiang Qin shone he wasn’t worthy. Then during winter break they were seen holding hands and strolling through a temple fair. That night all the boys had their hearts broken. The sorrowful essays they wrote were all about wanting to die and their dreams being shattered and their hearts being empty. I spent the entire winter break and still didn’t finish reading them all.”

After saying this Yu Shasha let out a sigh “As for Jiang Qin he ruthlessly trampled on the secret crushes in the hearts of all the boys twisting her into a shape that belongs only to him.”
